Speaker 1: The conflict with Iran is entering its 36th month. Iran
Speaker 1: has been completely disarmed for almost the entire war, but
Speaker 1: somehow they're still shooting rockets off of rocket launch sites.
Speaker 1: We've won the war 16 times over, yet we're still
Speaker 1: over there. The Strait of Hormuz is safe, yet we're
Speaker 1: still filling it with our Navy. PBN family, anybody tired
Speaker 1: of the... Just tell me what's going on with Iran. Donald, Donnie,
Speaker 1: what's really going on? But tell me. Tell me this
Speaker 1: real strategy. Just tell us the real strategy here. Right. Please.
Speaker 1: Are we waiting for the Iranian people to rise up?
Speaker 1: It'll never happen. Some people, as I mentioned, some people
Speaker 1: don't rise. OK, and I mean this collectively. I mean,
Speaker 1: this nationally nations, some nations, the people in those nations
Speaker 1: don't rise. They've been beaten into submission. They killed 40,000
Speaker 1: of them in the streets a year ago or whatever
Speaker 1: it was. You know what I mean? It's a different thing.
Speaker 1: They're not in America. They don't have guns. You've got
Speaker 1: to wrap your head around this, right? I hear things
Speaker 1: about the Kurds. I hear things about the turds. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm done with it. Let's wrap it up.
Speaker 1: Let's get the hell back home, right? I think we've
Speaker 1: made our point to Iran pretty clearly. Here's an idea.
Speaker 1: Don't give these people money anymore. And then we can
Speaker 1: avoid these wars altogether. Don't help them rebuild. They're not
Speaker 1: going to rebuild. They're going to rebuild rocket launchers. We
Speaker 1: did the same thing in Palestine. What are we doing?
Speaker 1: PBN family, these political rants are moving to the supporter
Speaker 1: side of the podcast. These one-off. If it's a political-based
Speaker 1: show or if it's a show built around a hard truth,
Speaker 1: we're always going to discuss the hard truth. But these
Speaker 1: sort of rants that I have to have, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I just have to have them. But
Speaker 1: because of what we're doing at PBN now, because of
Speaker 1: the overall content scope, like, I don't know. I know
Speaker 1: there's a group of you out there who really enjoy
Speaker 1: me ranting about all these things. And look, there are
Speaker 1: important conversations we had about politics for sure. We got
Speaker 1: to have them. And I, you know, there will be
Speaker 1: a decision process. Don't worry. But I've decided that if
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of these long-winded political rants,
Speaker 1: Then we're going to move it over to the membership
Speaker 1: side going forward. Just because. I don't know. It feels
Speaker 1: to me like the right thing to do. I'm pushed
Speaker 1: and pulled in certain directions by more than just analytics,
Speaker 1: by more than just funds. So to me it makes sense.
Speaker 1: It's easy. The supporters side at Spreaker is pretty easy
Speaker 1: to manage. It's a great way for me to throw
Speaker 1: podcast content in there just for supporters, right? The PBN
Speaker 1: membership is going away probably within a month or two
Speaker 1: at the most. I'm getting like, without even knowing it's
Speaker 1: going away, I have gotten a waterfall of people who need,
Speaker 1: particularly those who are paying $ 60 per year, who are
Speaker 1: tapping out of the PBN membership. And for money reasons,
Speaker 1: for financial reasons. And it started happening late last year,
Speaker 1: which put me on this idea of the supporter side
Speaker 1: and then also the Red Beacon Media one-time payment. Because
Speaker 1: I don't want people to lament PBN. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? That's the last thing I want. The last
Speaker 1: thing I want is for people to be like, oh
Speaker 1: my God, here comes a $ 60 bill from PBN for
Speaker 1: my annual membership. If you don't got it, you don't
Speaker 1: got it. You know what I mean? email me now
Speaker 1: and cancel now I do not want to be there's
Speaker 1: so much for people to worry about these days the
Speaker 1: last thing I want to be is the thing that
Speaker 1: you're worrying about in the in the future you're not
Speaker 1: going to hurt my feelings don't worry about it okay
Speaker 1: so that's where my head is at with all of
Speaker 1: this now I uh the membership side or supporter side
Speaker 1: rather on Spreaker you can sign up On Spreaker, just
Speaker 1: look up Prepper Broadcasting Network. I think we have a
Speaker 1: link down below. Maybe not. I might have moved it.
Speaker 1: It's really easy to sign up. It's $ 5 a month,
Speaker 1: and it also removes all the ads. So you have
Speaker 1: no more ads on the podcast once you're a supporter.
Speaker 1: So if you don't like the ads, it's a pretty
Speaker 1: easy way out. It's a good service. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: keeping it. I think it makes sense. I think it's
Speaker 1: definitely affordable. I look at my own financial picture, and
Speaker 1: I say to myself, what do I spend five bucks on?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like, what could I
Speaker 1: cut if I needed to put five bucks into the
Speaker 1: PBN supporter side? And, uh, it wouldn't be tough. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It wouldn't be tough for me
Speaker 1: to find something silly to put five bucks into. Uh,
Speaker 1: so I feel like, you know, it's not, it's not
Speaker 1: insane for me to ask that of you. If you
Speaker 1: want to listen to the podcast without ads, which generate
Speaker 1: us a lot of money, the ads do. Um, And
Speaker 1: to also put a bunch of content on the membership
Speaker 1: side or on the supporter side. So that's where these
Speaker 1: things are going to live going forward. I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to lure you over there. I'm not trying to say
Speaker 1: my political rants are so good that you're only going
Speaker 1: to get them if you pay for them. Like I said,
Speaker 1: if it's a politically based show, like a Surviving America
Speaker 1: on whatever topic, right? That's not what I mean. What
Speaker 1: I mean is a disorganized sort of wreck of a
Speaker 1: show where James bounces from one topic to another topic
Speaker 1: to a totally different topic and gets lost and talks
Speaker 1: halfway about that topic before jumping into a new one
Speaker 1: and you wanted to hear him finish up about the last.
Speaker 1: It's a certain kind of podcast that exists in the
Speaker 1: PBN proper. And, well, quite frankly, like, the shows that
Speaker 1: we pull from the archives are... phenomenal right the the
Speaker 1: daily interviews that we're doing all through september are very
Speaker 1: orderly and nice and perfect and i'm not looking to
Speaker 1: turn pbn into something orderly and perfect either because you
Speaker 1: know it's me but all that said man there are
Speaker 1: some shows that are just so much chaos and anarchy
Speaker 1: that i don't know i think there's a certain group
Speaker 1: of you that like them and they're you guys are
Speaker 1: probably supporters or or you will be supporters right You'll
Speaker 1: say to yourself, let's kick the ads out. Let's get
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, and the ugly and get the
Speaker 1: supporter side. And the supporter side is also chock full.
Speaker 1: It's pages long of great podcasts on all kinds of topics,
Speaker 1: prepping related and beyond, really. So this is just a
Speaker 1: heads-up podcast for that because I feel myself, guys, all
Speaker 1: the time wanting to go for the phone and wanting
Speaker 1: to start bitching and moaning. You know, there's a very
Speaker 1: real sort of Virginia politics nerve in me that is burning.
Speaker 1: And that may become a show for everyone. Some sort
Speaker 1: of spinoff or build off the mother of mayhem. Because
Speaker 1: Virginia politics right now is just so unbelievable. It's unreal.
Speaker 1: You know, it really is. Like people would say, Virginia
Speaker 1: is going to become the new California. And it's here.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? It's here. Except for the guns.
Speaker 1: But I'm talking the sheer, like, irrationality, idiotic, you know,
Speaker 1: use of the political influence. It's here. And it's crazy
Speaker 1: to watch. So that could be a thing. That type
Speaker 1: of a political show is not something that will wind
Speaker 1: up on the supporters' side. But, you know, if I'm
Speaker 1: going to get on and just vomit from the mouth
Speaker 1: about all the things that are new and interesting and,
Speaker 1: you know, a pain in the ass and whatever... Those
Speaker 1: things will likely wind up on the supporters' side, so
Speaker 1: head over there. Particularly consider it for those of you
Speaker 1: who are or were members who are either getting out
Speaker 1: of it because we're shutting it down or getting out
Speaker 1: of it because it's not something you wanted to deal
Speaker 1: with on the $ 5 a month side. I'm sorry, the
Speaker 1: $ 60 a year side. But it's a good opportunity, like
Speaker 1: I said. If you're listening to the ads and you
Speaker 1: don't like listening to the ads. And I try to
Speaker 1: limit the ads. You know, I really do. On shows
Speaker 1: that are like 20 to 30 minutes, I try to
Speaker 1: limit it to one ad in the show. If it's
Speaker 1: over an hour, I put like a couple ads in it,
Speaker 1: a couple ad sections in the show. Sometimes they have
Speaker 1: two ads in one and then one ad in the other.
Speaker 1: It's just, it is what it is, man. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: The network, you know, costs money to run. And the
Speaker 1: ads are, you know, on the revenue side, they're really good.
Speaker 1: I wish I could manage them more in terms of, like,
Speaker 1: can we run certain types of ads? I don't really
Speaker 1: like hearing the casino ads on PBN. That makes me
Speaker 1: a little pissed off. And, you know, I haven't reached
Speaker 1: out and asked, and that's a really important thing, right?
Speaker 1: It's really important for people to understand. Rather than bitching
Speaker 1: about a thing, you probably should ask. So maybe I
Speaker 1: should ask Donald Trump politely to wrap this war in
Speaker 1: Iran up. What do you think? Just wrap this thing up.
Speaker 1: so we can move on? Because I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: stuck between a completely irrational Democratic base and Democratic leadership
Speaker 1: and Democratic Party. Just totally and completely irrational. Just like
Speaker 1: the height of irrationality. None of it makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: But then on the other side, I have a guy
Speaker 1: who is, you know, he's done a lot of great things.
Speaker 1: I mean, epic things for the future of this country.
Speaker 1: I'm not denying that. But the sort of hyper positivity
Speaker 1: on everything that he does is a little annoying. You know,
Speaker 1: the over the top sort of glaze, as the kids
Speaker 1: would call it, on everything that the man does. It'll
Speaker 1: wear you out. You know what I mean? It'll be like,
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. But I'm seeing something that
Speaker 1: looks exactly the opposite. Who are you going to believe?
Speaker 1: Me or your own eyes? That's the Donald Trump thing, right? Like,
Speaker 1: Iran is mid-attack and he's saying, you know, the war's over.
Speaker 1: Don't you worry about it. We're bringing the troops. It's done.
Speaker 1: It's a done deal. It's over. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: found it more beneficial just to not engage the brain anymore.
Speaker 1: To engage the brain in the things of value only.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to wonder if dementia and Parkinson's and all
Speaker 1: this stuff is simply born out of the fact that, like,
Speaker 1: the longer you're on the planet, the more you fill
Speaker 1: your head with stuff. Right? There's got to be limits, right?
Speaker 1: It's a bowl. It's not a bottomless pit. So, I
Speaker 1: don't know. We'll have to see. We shall see. So,
Speaker 1: PBN family, you've got enough to listen to today. Please, try.
Speaker 1: Just try one of those essential provisions. They're amazing. We've
Speaker 1: had them as a sponsor before in the past. They
Speaker 1: weren't really popular with you guys. But beyond just food storage,
Speaker 1: like a real heat and ready meal. Like if you're
Speaker 1: pulling meals from the freezer and heating them up for dinner,
Speaker 1: you're probably spending the same amount of money as you
Speaker 1: would be for an essential provisions meal that's going to
Speaker 1: give your... kid you know or your husband or your
Speaker 1: whoever you 500 grams of or 500 plus calories and
Speaker 1: like 19 what was it 22 grams of protein something
Speaker 1: like that grass-fed grass-finished unbelievable bison protein stuff's good man
Speaker 1: you know what i mean um stay tuned too by
Speaker 1: the way you know we're doing this all month i'm
Speaker 1: really proud of what we're doing for national preparedness month
Speaker 1: i think we've got a lot uh We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the chamber to share with you,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's one of the things that I
Speaker 1: don't do enough of either because guess what? Sometimes I'm
Speaker 1: over here doing shows where I'm complaining about the Democrats
Speaker 1: or the Virginia Democrats or Donald Trump or the price
Speaker 1: of living in the United States, right? I think there's
Speaker 1: a place and time for that, but I also think
Speaker 1: there's a priority shift that has to happen here at
Speaker 1: PBN because prepping is not just prepping for disaster anymore, guys. Like, we...
Speaker 1: Between preppers and homesteaders, we are the infrastructure for the
Speaker 1: new style of living and surviving in the United States.
Speaker 1: And I just think that my mission, my personal mission
Speaker 1: is not to be on a microphone yapping about this
Speaker 1: one and this new story and another illegal murder and
Speaker 1: this and that and the other thing. There's a time
Speaker 1: and place for it. I think the place for it
Speaker 1: is on the supporter side. Um, and I don't want
Speaker 1: it to get in the way of really innovative and
Speaker 1: really awesome things that are happening out there in the
Speaker 1: world that'll actually really help you, right? It'll help you
Speaker 1: way more if you stock your shelves with essential provisions
Speaker 1: or even just stock your camping bags or your hunting
Speaker 1: bags this year with essential provisions than it will to
Speaker 1: hear James lament, you know, Abigail Spanberger for 15 minutes, right?
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to draw that balance. This is my
Speaker 1: best move. I hope you guys appreciate it and understand that,
Speaker 1: you know, what we do here matters. And I'm really
Speaker 1: proud of it. And I think we are, to me,
Speaker 1: it feels like we are kind of molding ourselves with
Speaker 1: the programming and the current situation with PBN into a
Speaker 1: really valuable and important entity for whatever kind of revolution
Speaker 1: we're in right now, right? We're in some kind of
Speaker 1: revolution right now. We're in the human beats corpo revolution.
Speaker 1: The human beats politics revolution. The human beats AI revolution.
Speaker 1: The human takes, you know, it's almost like in order
Speaker 1: to have something like an artificial intelligence, you have to
Speaker 1: have that same level of power on the human side, right?
Speaker 1: Or at least a power comparable to keep things in balance, right?
Speaker 1: A self-reliant and independent humanity that is not, you know,
Speaker 1: almost drug along or stuck in between human and AI, right?
Speaker 1: As the AI powers, so too must the human animal.
Speaker 1: And I think, from what I can tell, right, the
Speaker 1: homesteading world, the prepping world, maybe even the Christian world,
Speaker 1: is the least adulterated by places like Hollywood and every
Speaker 1: other sort of portal to hell that you know of, right?
Speaker 1: And I want to try and keep it that way.
Speaker 1: All right, folks. I appreciate you. I'll talk to you soon.
