The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Trump Putin the Morning After

Episode Date: August 16, 2025

After Vlad was invited to Alaska to meet in silence, the American people got a cryptic presser and now we wait to see what it all means. Are we one step closer to WWIII or is the war going to come to an end? That and much more.www.pbnfamily.comwww.faradaycontainers.comwww.limatangosurvival.comwww.packfreshusa.com

You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability. you know this day and age i understand that the 32 second intro is uh it's a whopper right like it's a thing of the past almost to have a 30 second long intro you want like everything has to be like five seconds law five seconds edit five seconds edit five seconds i think about it a lot but when i look at that intro man what it what it really does is shows it's one of the only ways you can show kind of surface level what we are what pbn is you know what i mean and that's if anybody can think of a way to convey it you know in a more succinct way i'm open i'm open to your ideas but and and for

nobody said anything to me about the intro it's just in my own head i go oh 32 seconds holy god probably lose half the audience to the intro run away i can't sit here for a whopping 30 seconds and watch this intro there's no way so i don't know for those of you uh who are unaware it's like all the people in that intro that's not even all the pbn i'm just talking hosts right i'm just talking the people who make content on a weekly basis here on pbn and make make this thing what it is what would what would a show be like if i didn't adjust the camera one time why is that I think it has to do with the fact that I'm like all over the place all the time. Fair enough.

I want to talk Trump, Putin, the morning after. You know, yesterday was from the reactionary sense, right? From the side of the reactionary internet, which to some degree I'm involved in, it was a big letdown for me. You know what I mean? From that perspective. you know it was political theater and you know i was listening to michael savage and he had the best take you know like i've listened him for a long time and uh there's something about even at his age now

where things have slowed down big time and you know it's it's not the savage nation like it used to be on the radio out of all the takes that i heard i think his take was about the best i think it was right i think it was correct and i watching the whole thing take place it definitely felt like some kind of political theater and uh so for me you know he he came out and said basically any deal that had to be done had been done and this is just an announcement there's no discussions there's no background on, like, revelations going to happen in front of an audience and that kind of thing. Like, it really is sort of the presentation period of discussions that have been happening a long time.

In large part, you know, you don't bring two kings together to who the left wing hates that. Don't they can't say the K word, even jokingly, even like, you know, metaphorically or whatever. But you can't bring two kings together and have them hash it out live on television, right? both of them need to look good. And I think that was the right perspective. I think that was about as close to the reality of what yesterday was. Now, there were definitely some sprinkles. There were definitely some cherries on top, for sure.

I apologize for the throat clearing. This is the first coffee of the day. Do look at this beautiful little cup. Why there's so much coffee on the outside of my cups? absolute slob fest right just a slob i don't get it i don't even know how it happens gets all over the cups so i kind of wanted to get on i i had a busy night i didn't spend all once i realized like i can't listen to them to talking until the end until the presser i was like whatever um there's life to be lived we had things to do in the evening and

And I thought what I'd do instead of doing it alone here because it's early, you know, is get up and take a look at the world. Through the internet's lens, I'd take it a new epic times yesterday, but this is not the show for that. I didn't, they told me I'd get a hard copy newspaper every two weeks. I got one, two weekends in a row. Now, we'll see. We'll see what the trend is. I'd love that damn newspaper, though, man. Yeah, we're going to, we'll be doing a newspaper segment for sure.

Just read the news, right? It's very red beacon. It's very red beacon to read the newspaper, to read the physical newspaper. If you, if you are a member, you've got the full download on the red beacon. You got the full download on the red beacon over Thursday, right? Thursday's members-only podcast. If you're not, you've got to wait. But I did have a very important call about the Red Beacon yesterday in its physical form.

A little cryptic, a little interesting, a little important. The Red Beacon is a movement. I mean, that's really what it is. It's a movement. It started as a radio network station, started as a blog. but it really is going to wind up being a movement. It's going to wind up to be your off-ramp out of digital prison, fundamentally. That's it.

So I wanted to take a look at the world and see this morning what, you know, what the hell's going on? What's the world saying? We'll go to the most biased news outlet of the mall to start. And we'll take a look here at, we could do it together. Why not? Why not? We've got the firepower to do this thing together. Look at that beautiful continuity. See in the background?

The continuity is coming. It is definitely coming. So, let's have a look here. Vlad gets red carpet, limps to meeting, cozy chat alone in the beast. Photocall erupts into chaos sideline Ukrainians look on. How do you think the Ukrainians feel this morning? Petrified, right? How would you feel if your nation was at war with Russia and you saw the U.S. president kind of cozying up to the leader of Russia?

Or would you think, you know, the Americans are finally involved face-to-face leadership and they're going to put an end of this thing? It feels like personally, right? This is what it feels like to me. You may call it me weak, whatever. but it feels like after what three and a half years of death and fighting in war and having lost lots of people on the Ukrainians I'm just talking to Ukrainian side it feels like had I personally been in a situation like that and Russia was like look we want California and we're going to take that region to put to put space between us and the Pacific Ocean.

We want that region. And we were clearly losing and being backed up by other countries and still not getting the job done and so on and so forth. And the future looked to be, you know, sort of like the picking up of coffee mugs and looking under them for more soldiers. Like, where are the soldiers at? Where are they at? I haven't in my pocket.

And just sending them off to their death as well. I think if I were Ukrainian, I probably would be thinking to give him the land and let's get back to life. I don't know. I don't know. It's clear the leader doesn't want that. It's clear that Zelensky from wherever he fights the war from, wherever his mighty steed rests, he has no desire for at the end. and there you know there is something to be said of like what could be left of a country like that once it's all said and done charm and manipulate absolute distrust Putin meets Trump Ukraine vows to continue

the Don give me a Nobel Prize I don't know if this is doing this drudge report doing this let's see Oh, look, what it is? Madi made it on the cover of the Times, right? The King Socialists made it on the red-bordered socialist times. What do you guys think of that guy?

There's no chance, right? No chance. There is a chance, though, isn't there? There's a chance that New York can sink even deeper into hell. It's hard to believe. It's hard to believe.

What's going on out here in the world? How's the world reacting? And then I hop over to X, right? Updated one hour ago, President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met in Anchorage, Alaska, where Putin confirmed that if Trump had been president in 2022, there would likely have been no war. you know nobody's happy about that business that i don't know what somebody like popped

an important blood vessel somewhere the moment that putin said when president trump says if he was president back then there would be no war it would indeed be so i can confirm that when Putin says that that's bananas man you know that's a bananas moment Where is the incredible, is this the incredible moment?

This is what you got to see. Putin loved that business. I do want to know, like, what happened the moment that that happened in his head. You know, because they're walking and yapping and yapping and shuffing. shaking hands, and then all of a sudden... Whoever designed that B2 bomber, man, you know what I'm saying? It's not just technologically amazing, right? It's not just technologically amazing.

It's one of those things where it's like, terrifying. right it's like a shard a nuclear armed shard that you can't see come hurtling through the in my head in my weird head i was um thinking of Donald Trump talking to Putin when i saw this video and i i pictured Donald Trump saying to Putin don't worry they're not going to Moscow you know like he reaches over and kind of laughs with Putin I kind of picture him saying something like that so j ferg asks what uh what are your thoughts on the whole thing um i don't trust russia to stop killing i don't trust ukraine to stop fighting you know those two right now remind me a lot of the middle east it's what it looks like to me really does it looks a lot

like the middle east it looks like these two are going to go at it and go at it um i was wrong about this war from the beginning though so i don't know how much when russia was at the point russia was at the border. I was in such disbelief. I don't think I appreciated the weakness of Joe Biden at the time. I did not appreciate the level of weakness. We were going to get it from Joe Biden. But I was convinced, no, there's no war. They're going to just, this is all posturing and all that kind of stuff. Dave Jones, the NBC guy was like, and it's going down, dude. It is going down and it ain't going to be pretty. Three and a half years later, he's still right. So, What I really think is going to happen is I think the whole map has been drawn already.

That's what I think. I think watching guys like Pastor Joe Fox three and a half years ago talk about the Donbos region, talk about whatever that river is that runs and then everything to the east. Like a lot of people early on before this even became a war were talking about this is the region that Russia wants and they're going to get it. And I think we've seen three and a half years of killing in order to achieve that for Russia. And I think that map has been drawn up, and I think that is going to be what it's going to be. I have a real hard time believing that Ukraine's going to get that region back. I have a really, really hard time believing that they're going to get Crimea.

You know what I mean? Crimea is just too strategic a position for war, for trade, for all of it. It just doesn't seem – I can't see it happening. you know i just see ukraine losing a lot of people i see ukraine losing a lot of uh land and the war coming to an end and then them starting to rebuild but i think that this meeting in particular was um good tv do you know what i mean it was good tv it was the apprentice it was i don't know if the apprentice was good tv but i never watched a single episode But I think that's what this was.

You know, this was things that have already been agreed upon and, you know, ceasefires and this and that and repercussions, maybe some hard talk, maybe some real hard talk about, look, we already did the ceasefire thing and you broke it almost immediately. So if that happens, then, you know, we're going to have more problems. Because they're getting along quite well for Donald Trump having come out and pulled India, like, we're going to slap. happy around if you keep buying economically speaking if you keep buying russian oil and that's a huge deal to the war effort in russia right they use that those i mean their energy sector is their income it's their it is their economy right without that without nations being able to buy from them then they you know they lose the money to do all kinds of things like hack the united states uh infrastructure anyway so that's my take really that's my i don't think that they were like let's hash this out in front of

the american people in alaska to figure out what we're going to do to move forward right uh putin just confirmed that the war would never have happened if trump were president you know we talked about that CNN oh cue the liberal meltdown Okay, not a lot of whole wrap up there. I hope this guy, I hope this guy Greg is joking, right? Greg must be a flat earther. Trump got rolled, said Rick Wilson. X is interesting place, man.

Trump threat, okay, if it's bad, If it's bad, if it's something I don't see a future in, I'm gone. I'll leave. I don't have to do a press conference. I'll just say, not going to be a deal. I'm out of here. And I go back to the United States. What was he talking about?

Did he really say that? Let's listen. I said, how long are you fighting, said 500 years on and off, right? I said, this is not good. I got that one. So we're going to see what happens. We're going to have a meeting today. Hopefully it'll be good.

If it's bad, if it's something I don't see a future in, I'm a deal guy. If it's something I don't see a future and I'm gone. I'll leave. I don't have to do a press. I'll just say, not going to be a deal. I'm out of here. And I go back to the United States and I preside over the economy that way to you see what's happening with all of this. You know, we have trillions of dollars pouring in.

Even people that were against tariffs only because they didn't understand. I hope you guys can hear this. know what a tariff was you had economists that didn't even know what a tariff was they're all my biggest fan now they're also you see it we have an economy that's uh going to be the best ever i think in the history of our world in the history of the world i think we probably have that economy already don't you think um okay so everything that happened he said we're going but he meant the lower 48 i'm assuming yeah this is good what's wrong with that i think it's good I think Trump has taken a good, you know, take everything out, like take all things

into consideration and all things out. I think he's in the right headspace. You know, like any political bias, whatever that you feel about Donald Trump, like, really think about it. Like, he's, what are the alternatives? You grab Putin by the throat on the red carpet and, and. scream in his face and say end this war and give Ukraine all their land back or else we we send the B2 bombers over right like that's not going to work what do you want you want all

out war with Russia I mean Putin's been pretty clear you know if there's a if there's a serious threat to the Russian mainland and it's nuke time and what are you going to do then who What's the CNN cadre going to do? What are they going to say when they hop on the air and go? Well, in order to save the incredible nation of Ukraine, we've in fact started a nuclear war between Europe and Russia. Whoops. Our bad. But, hey, at least we're going to get the Donbos region back for the Ukrainians, right?

we might get Kiev vaporized in France but Paris but you know hey they need a fresh start over there in Europe anyway so you know it's not like you've got a ton of options I think the best option is exactly that

it's always that who with the economic might and I'm telling you right now like a lot of people let's talk tariffs real quick let's talk tariffs real quick because there was something and I was guilty of it myself okay I was guilty of it trying to get your attention hey listen they're uh it's August 16 okay there was the top economists especially those incredible geniuses at CNN but top economists on both sides of the ball conservative the whole thing. Left wing, whatever. They were all like, by July, by July, there's not going to be

anything on the shelves at Walmart. The tariffs are going to, they're going to crush the whole economy. There will be items missing off shelves across the nation because of the Donald Trump tariffs. I saw people on both sides saying this. I even said it based on what they were saying, you know, because it made sense. The shipping. I remember, the shipping containers. Everything, Peter Zion, I watch him a lot. He's an opposing. Peter Zion is a smart guy.

He's a little too set in his ways, and he definitely hates Donald Trump. So if you can stir all that into your pot and listen to him, you can get some pretty decent information, though I do see him being wrong a hell of a lot. But that was his mentality. His whole idea was everything that's shipping to us right now, that's the the last of it. That's the last of it. So buy your computer, buy your this, buy your that, buy you that. I took his advice on that. And it doesn't look like that to me, right? It looks like there's so much stuff in America as usual. We don't have the dollars to buy

it all, right? We don't even have the space to store it all. So I don't know. But what it does look like to me. What it does look like to me in a big way is that the tariff system is one of the most beautiful weapons you could ever put together. Right? I mean, how else do you open up a conversation with India about the buying of Russian oil? How else do you have that conversation? You know, you can go to the table with no barbs whatsoever, just kind of bagging. hey, you know, they're not doing good things over there at Russia. You probably shouldn't buy their oil. Oh, okay.

You know, and they tell you to go to hell and you go back to America and that's it. Or you can show up, you know, in the military sense with some sort of provocation or something like that. That's not the right way to do things. But since Donald Trump has sat down with every leader in the world, damn near, and said, this is the new tariff situation, okay? We want things to be fair for the United States. they have felt the burn a little bit and they understand the consequences and all that. Now all of a sudden you have this on-off switch.

Well, actually, it's more than an on-off switch, right? It's almost like a, it's almost like a temperature. It's like a stove, for lack of a better term, right? It's a dial, is what it is. And you can turn that dial up and turn it down and whatever you want to do. It's pretty amazing, really, to me. Number one, that it all worked out, and number two, that it is kind of the, the weapon that it is. So now we wait. That's all. Now we just wait. We wait and see what the hell

happens. We wait. Is Trump, is Putin going to be, uh, stick with his word? You know, the whole thing. What, what's going to happen? Because nobody really knows, right? Nobody really knows what's going to happen. We don't know. I've seen so much out of Putin that you could just be like, he's just going to walk back to Russia and go, send in more artillery, send in whatever. is we need to send in and just brush it off with Donald Trump. Like, you never heard anything. I wouldn't be surprised, you know. But I'm going to get out of here.
