00:00:59.320
We got some pretty wild news. An X-Class Solar Flare, or a Class 4, or whatever it's called,
00:01:06.020
because people give it different names, is currently headed towards Earth, and it is already,
00:01:10.720
apparently they're saying it's already triggered radio blackouts.
00:01:13.920
Live Science is saying that it could rival the Carrington event of 1859,
00:01:18.700
in which people saw auroras all over the world, and telegraph wires burst into flames.
00:01:26.780
Now there are some estimates that this could be the big one that knocks the grid down, but,
00:01:34.020
So we're going to talk about this because the theme of today is,
00:01:37.020
you know, outside of the major solar flare that's about to slam into us,
00:01:41.280
we actually were more concerned with World War III and, you know, maybe Civil War,
00:01:48.340
And so we decided we should do a show about, you know, prepping and disaster preparedness
00:01:52.960
And then, you know, I walk in and they're like,
00:01:55.320
oh, and by the way, a major solar flare is about to hit the planet and it could knock out the grid.
00:02:03.560
I'm the CEO of Fortitude Ranch for the nation's largest recreational and survival community,
00:02:09.300
We're going to pull the mic a little closer, yes.
00:02:11.820
And also working with a new Collapse Survivor app,
00:02:14.700
which just issued a warning on the solar flares that could take our grid down.
00:02:24.980
I'm the producer director of Grid Down Power Up,
00:02:28.040
which is a award-winning documentary narrated by Dennis Quaid.
00:02:32.820
I'm formerly a fund manager, managed the Prudent Bear Fund for about a decade and a half,
00:02:39.140
warned individuals about a market decline, predicted the 00 to 02 crash as well as the 08 crash.
00:02:52.560
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.
00:02:54.360
I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.
00:03:09.760
Yeah, we just launched a new system, so this could simulcast on X as well as on YouTube.
00:03:18.920
But we actually have a story to pull up before we get into all of this.
00:03:28.180
And gargantuan sunspot 15 Earths wide shoots powerful X-class flare towards Earth, triggering radio blackouts.
00:03:35.100
A sunspot so big it rivals the gigantic sunspot responsible for the Carrington event in 1859 has unleashed another X-class solar flare, triggering radio blackouts on Earth.
00:03:47.680
And they say the behemoth patch of the sun's surface has ballooned in recent days.
00:03:52.700
So they're saying, I suppose, at some point today, what does it say?
00:03:56.680
It says, the giant sunspot has more than lived up to the expectations, firing out countless powerful solar flares in recent days, including a colossal X-class flare this morning, peaking at 5.13 a.m.
00:04:10.880
But how long does it take for a solar flare to—do you guys know this one?
00:04:14.420
I'm not—I don't assume astrophysics is your expertise, so.
00:04:20.220
So they're estimating any time from midday Friday to Friday night, it could start hitting the Earth.
00:04:26.920
So it looks, you know, like a day-plus they've got to look at it, but it varies a lot.
00:04:33.300
Saturday is what they're saying is the worst, and there's some people estimating there's a 10% chance the grid could actually be taken down if it's that severe.
00:04:43.780
If the grid goes down, are we talking like we're back to the Stone Age or just the power's out for a day or two?
00:04:48.060
So, Tim, my film, Grid Down Power Up, is an hour long.
00:04:55.240
Geomagnetic disturbance is the fourth, which is—and you mentioned the Carrington event.
00:05:00.800
The Carrington event essentially fried all the telegraph lines, sent people to the hospital, et cetera.
00:05:08.320
In terms of volts per kilometer, it was at a massive scale.
00:05:19.060
So, actually, the EMP Commission operated for 17 years at the behest of Congress.
00:05:26.840
They mostly talked about an electromagnetic pulse attack from a nuclear detonation.
00:05:33.780
But essentially, what we have with a GMD disturbance like this is called a natural EMP because it's gamma waves that are wiping out electronics.
00:05:43.620
It could wipe out sensitive electronics, could also wipe out transformers.
00:05:49.100
The big risk is these massive high-voltage transformers.
00:05:58.760
However, if they go out, there's as long as a five- to six-year backlog.
00:06:03.400
And therefore, the EMP Commission found that if our massive transformers go out and the grid goes out, as many as 90 percent of Americans could die.
00:06:16.100
It's not 90 percent die because, you know, you're on a heart pump or something like that.
00:06:20.880
It's mainly because when the grid goes down, no food deliveries, no water systems working in cities, people start starving to death.
00:06:29.320
And most people aren't going to politely sit at home and starve to death.
00:06:36.800
Marauding and starvation is probably what's going to kill most people.
00:06:38.680
It's going to be like the Hunger Games on steroids.
00:06:40.500
I want to put a pin on that because there's a meme that you see on Twitter a lot.
00:06:46.620
People will say, oh, you know, if you're out there and you're not training with your gear, then you're just a loot drop and blah, blah, blah.
00:06:52.560
And the concept of a person being a loot drop, that is the marauder mindset.
00:07:00.360
So if you're the person, if you're saying you're a prepper and you're looking around at all the people that are like, that you're like, oh, I'm going to get that from him and I'm going to get that from him.
00:07:08.880
You're you're the you're the marauder in the after.
00:07:15.500
Well, the point the point that I'm making is a lot of people style themselves in their head as this hero and this good guy.
00:07:21.120
And at the same time, they're sitting there saying, oh, but I'm going to go ahead and kill my neighbors to take their stuff.
00:07:26.000
Like, that's not how you survive in a situation like that.
00:07:34.380
But like there's there's there's there's going to be predators and there's going to be prey.
00:07:37.520
There's going to be the the agrarian and there's going to be the carnivorous that you look at life and you have plants, little old plants where they do all day.
00:07:46.700
They mind their own business, soaking in the sunlight, free for everybody.
00:07:50.420
Mind your own business, growing with that beautiful, ambient energy.
00:07:54.020
And then we come along, hack it to bits and eat it.
00:07:58.920
So I say vegans, you know, pay attention because, you know, these plants are innocent.
00:08:04.060
But joking aside, when it comes to the collapse, there will be tons of marauders that survive.
00:08:12.240
In fact, human civilization cannot survive if everyone's marauding.
00:08:17.320
But there will be marauders who exploit this and survive because there will be many people trying to form community.
00:08:25.820
We have a score of food and water and therefore those people that did prepare.
00:08:34.760
But inside a city, there's not that many of them.
00:08:38.220
And therefore, they're going to have to go out and find the ranches where there's food, etc.
00:08:42.560
And we're talking about municipal water systems not working.
00:08:47.780
We're talking about waste water systems not working.
00:08:51.120
I don't think, you know, it's like New York City.
00:08:54.980
No, it's actually, let's take L.A. as a good example.
00:08:57.280
It's very, it's a very flat, widespread urban environment.
00:09:02.220
When it all comes crashing down, the marauders of Los Angeles ain't going to be thinking about finding a ranch.
00:09:09.600
The people, you go to, you go to, I'm sorry, Kyle Kalinske, but this will forever be your, your, your moment.
00:09:19.760
Socialist, lefty, Kyle Kalinske, streamer and personality.
00:09:25.060
But he posted a picture from an airplane of farms and said, I wonder why it looks that way.
00:09:31.140
And this is, this is a guy with a prominent face you're making.
00:09:35.360
This is a guy who's got a massive platform with millions of followers.
00:09:39.780
He, he speaks, he talks politics all day and he flew in a plane and took a picture of farms and said, I wonder why it looks that way.
00:09:46.160
Now, what do you think is going to happen to an uneducated, brutish barbarian marauder in Los Angeles?
00:09:53.620
They're not going to come together and be like, guys, we got to find a ranch somewhere where they've got some animals and some food to steal.
00:09:58.760
They're going to be like, I'm going to go start kicking doors in who's with me.
00:10:02.460
And when they run out of beans in the cupboard, they're going to start eating each other.
00:10:09.820
Yeah, it's funny, but prepping has changed a lot over the past several years.
00:10:14.200
You know, now it's up to one third of Americans are prepping.
00:10:16.740
But the other big difference I've seen, and I attribute it to the Walking Dead series.
00:10:23.740
And I had a lot of Fort Ranch members calling me saying, hey, you need to watch this Walking Dead show.
00:10:29.380
We deal with real threats, not nonsense like zombies.
00:10:32.640
And they said, no, you ought to watch it because it's really showing you, educating you on survival and defending against marauders.
00:10:40.640
But unfortunately, I think that show has encouraged and promoted a lot of people saying, I'm going to start marauding when the shit hits the fan.
00:10:49.640
We try not to swear, but it's not the apocalypse.
00:10:54.140
But for prepper, S-H-T-F, it's a standard prepper term.
00:10:57.960
The last thing you want to try and do is have to explain T-Hot walkie every time someone runs around.
00:11:02.920
The question I've always wondered, because I've seen comics, when shit hits the fan, they show a desk fan with someone throwing feces.
00:11:11.900
But does it, I always thought it kind of meant like when the shit gets so high, it reaches the ceiling fan.
00:11:17.700
I thought that it was when you throw it at the fan, because when you throw it at the fan, it splatters and gets on everybody.
00:11:26.820
When you throw it and it hits the fan, whether you like it or not, you're involved.
00:11:30.780
Because if it was just rising and filling the room, the fan would just shut off.
00:11:42.560
There was, the joke is, people are called loot drops.
00:11:49.000
The implication being like in a video game, I don't know if you guys are familiar.
00:11:56.740
And a bad guy runs up to you and he's shooting at you and you shoot back.
00:12:03.960
That's the implication of people who are untrained and incapable.
00:12:07.840
But, you know, a lot of people have pointed out that if you are buying emergency food and
00:12:13.120
you don't have guns, thank you for buying the food for me.
00:12:20.300
If you've got a lot of preparations and you don't have the guns, and not just the guns,
00:12:24.980
but, you know, the defensive walls, enough people to have a lot of guards on duty, you've
00:12:28.980
almost, you may have in some situations made yourself worse off because you've made yourself
00:12:35.960
Forty Ranch, we're in, you know, pretty remote rural locations.
00:12:39.000
And there's a lot of, you know, I call them trophy ranches where someone in the city has
00:12:46.460
When you see a real fancy gate, that's not a real farmer.
00:12:50.720
The big white fences, and there's just, you know, acres and acres of green grass that's
00:12:56.500
all manicured and stuff, and they call it a ranch.
00:13:00.020
I've got a lot of food and stuff stockpiled there.
00:13:03.240

Y'all leave Dallas, go out there and survive a collapse.
00:14:34.460
You're going to be the prime target from anyone in the area and marauders come out.
00:14:41.520
I'd say if you live in a big city, if you're lucky, you'll be a slave.
00:14:46.060
If you're a guy, they'll probably just kill you.
00:14:51.180
And this is not me having a negative view of humanity.
00:14:53.880
It's me having a realistic view of what literally happens in other countries without order and
00:14:59.760
You know, in hostile environment training for covering war and conflict and stuff, this
00:15:06.640
If you're a guy and you're in enemy territory, and even if you're a journalist, they don't
00:15:18.680
And so, you know, I like to ask people this hypothetical.
00:15:32.200
You've got a small little bag of food, a little canteen with water in it.
00:15:40.460
And you're walking through the woods when 200 yards, you see a guy walking towards you.
00:15:56.540
And there's no real right answer to this question.
00:15:58.460
It's just to ask people to think about what do they do in this scenario.
00:16:02.700
What I love so much about this is that when I ask people in cities, what do you think my
00:16:14.480
You see a person with the exact same circumstance walking in the direction towards you.
00:16:23.320
Literally, every single time they go, oh, I wave and I go, bang.
00:16:29.640
That person walks over and says, don't know, don't care, didn't want to find out.
00:16:33.540
Now I got double the food, double the water, and I got double the guns.
00:16:37.740
I mean, survival with another person is tremendous.
00:16:56.740
You can walk up to a strange person with limited resources who doesn't know you, and that everything's
00:17:02.320
You look at the way that animals, whether they're like, like even animals like, so a bear, right?
00:17:13.000
And a bear is, like most bears are capable of decimating a human being, just tearing
00:17:21.420
Black bears still avoid the crap out of humans unless they're defending their kids because
00:17:27.140
it's dangerous for a lone animal, human being or a wild animal, to interact in the wild because
00:17:38.800
And animals behave that way because of the risk.
00:17:43.040
So it's like, why would you try to interact with someone when the risk is so great?
00:17:49.320
Let's take this opportunity because I'm sure both of these fine gentlemen haven't seen the
00:17:58.200
So outside of an apocalyptic scenario, let's just say literally right now you're on a hike.
00:18:06.940
Who would you rather be lost in the woods with?
00:18:14.900
I'd probably be with the man because I'm a pretty fast runner, pretty good survival.
00:18:19.460
So if I needed some extra supplies, I can get them from the man.
00:18:23.800
I'm saying if you went hiking on the Appalachian Trail down the street today, turned the wrong
00:18:36.020
Would you rather be lost in the woods with a man or a bear?
00:18:39.500
Well, the bear, as Phil said, the bear is not going to harm me.
00:18:46.860
I absolutely love this meme because obviously the right answer is a man.
00:18:51.860
Because we go hiking all the time and we interact with probably a thousand different men every
00:18:58.620
But for some reason, people, and it's typically women who do, they say bears.
00:19:02.760
It's like, well, the bear has, I mean, the chance that you get mauled by a bear is, it's
00:19:10.180
But it's also probably, what, 200 to a thousand times greater than a man.
00:19:18.700
Well, that's, I think the context of normal civilization, if you're hiking and everything's
00:19:26.440
But I think that, that I, I assume that you were kind of thinking.
00:19:31.380
That's kind of what I think is if, if you're just walking through the woods, it is normal
00:19:35.200
for people to be like, oh, Hey, you know, there's a guy we're both hiking.
00:19:39.860
But, but more importantly, say you're lost in the woods.
00:19:43.420
If I got lost in the woods right now and then I saw a guy, I'd say, oh, thank God.
00:19:55.840
But I, but I wonder if the, like the reason why this meme exists is because of the, the
00:20:00.620
reaction people have to the thought of being lost in the woods with a man or a bear is the
00:20:08.120
And that is actually something really interesting about the human psyche, I guess.
00:20:12.360
But nonetheless, uh, going back to the, the, the, the, the scenario I bring up with, you
00:20:17.720
see a strange man, you have no idea how to survive in that scenario.
00:20:23.980
These people who live in cities that I've talked to about, it seem to think that you
00:20:27.440
can walk up to a stranger and be like, how do you, how do you do, sir?
00:20:32.200
And that guy is going to be like, wow, I don't want to feed you.
00:20:37.000
But the, really the, the, the challenge is you're walking in the woods and you see a guy
00:20:49.400
You know, he's, he's, he's, he's got a family, uh, somewhere not too far away.
00:21:00.640
And now he has to think to himself, do I take the risk that this man with a rifle is going
00:21:09.140
And so you probably, and this is a big challenge.
00:21:15.880
Could you risk not trying to engage and interact and team up with someone if you were a lot,
00:21:23.540
So what's interesting, Tim, is that the context, and we are so complacent in this country because
00:21:30.240
we're used to being in a national park, running into people saying, hi, how are you doing?
00:21:37.280
When the situation changes and we literally get to zombie apocalypse without the zombies,
00:21:45.020
It could be your neighbor that you've been on the soccer field with your kids and they
00:21:51.240
have a 10 year old and he's starving after three days.
00:21:56.240
He's likely to blow you away and kill you to get his food.
00:22:03.080
And he's going to say, here, son, have some thigh.
00:22:05.640
That was actually an official U.S. government exercise called Dark Winter.
00:22:10.140
Decades ago, if you remember Senator Sam Nunn, a Democrat from Georgia, very conservative,
00:22:19.580
So in Dark Winter, in this exercise, it was a smallpox, it was a small one, just started
00:22:24.480
But quickly on in the exercise, they realized that they got all these people going home.
00:22:28.420
Anytime there's any solar flare, you know, civil war, nuclear war erupting, you name it,
00:22:33.820
all the government's going to tell you is go home.
00:22:37.420
Well, after a couple of days, they're starting to starve to death.
00:22:40.080
And so in this exercise, they figure out, you know, people are just starving to death.
00:22:44.140
There's not a goddamn, sorry, not a damn thing we can do.
00:22:46.620
And that was, and then Sam Nunn in the report, and this official report in Congress afterwards
00:22:53.780
said, who played the president said, your own, the worst enemy is going to end up being
00:23:00.220
The worst enemy is going to be your neighbor, because if they start starving to death, they
00:23:03.240
are going to go out and try to steal food and potentially kill in the process.
00:23:07.620
I was talking to a friend and I was explaining, you know, if it really got bad, you live in
00:23:12.520
a city, you'll be surprised at what other people will do and what you could do.
00:23:16.540
And the initial reaction I get is, no, I think we, you know, we'd figure out a way.
00:23:25.020
It's a week powers out, no stores, no food, no water.
00:23:32.760
Four days ago, you cut your foot outside or the side of your leg.
00:23:43.160
Day four, you're sweating, feverish, you're sick.
00:23:47.840
Your neighbor across the street has antibiotics.
00:23:50.680
Your husband goes to them and says, please, I beg of you.
00:23:58.100
And she's like, oh yeah, he'll shoot and kill him and take the antibiotics.
00:24:00.920
I'm like, there, it's not a question of being a good or bad person.
00:24:04.960
It's that when the world is falling apart, people are going to say, I'm sorry.
00:24:07.800
My family matters more to me than you, to your family.
00:24:15.780
And people had a really great opportunity to see what they, what situation they would
00:24:24.000
be in with the beginning, at the beginning of COVID.
00:24:26.240
If your life changed significantly when COVID started, then you should have, you should
00:24:33.020
look at that as an opportunity to make better preparations for your own safety and security.
00:24:39.220
Now, my life, the only difference in my life when COVID happened was we had a tour planned
00:24:46.780
Other than that, I, everything changed in my, or everything stayed the same because I'm,
00:24:52.860
I, before it was an issue, I'd put myself in a situation where I would be able to handle
00:25:00.220
So now I know if there's another pandemic, I can batten down the hatches at my place and
00:25:06.060
Like, and everyone should look at COVID as, as that was a little stress test.
00:25:10.320
And you have an opportunity to look back and say, Hey, what should I have done?
00:25:14.600
And obviously everyone now knows, okay, I'm going to have toilet paper.
00:25:18.840
You know, let's talk about the summer of love, the riots in 2020.
00:25:22.480
So the official narrative will be all the George Floyd, you know, death resulted in this
00:25:32.700
They rioted because they were locked in their homes under, under these mandates and you could
00:25:37.680
leave for the most part, but you really had nowhere to go.
00:25:44.600
And so what happened, these people who have been locked up in their, in their apartments
00:25:49.200
for two or three months are losing their minds.
00:25:56.900
It's, it's not just that it's, it's, it's for some people, it was something to do for
00:26:03.340
And so they're going outside and they're angry.
00:26:05.220
And someone told them, you can be angry at this thing.
00:26:09.420
But I think COVID lockdowns and the subsequent riots from the lockdown rage is a really good
00:26:18.140
If, if there is smallpox and they say, everyone go home.
00:26:20.980
Well, how many weeks until they're out in the streets, smashing windows?
00:26:23.580
Smallpox is like 30% lethal COVID, you know, way, way less than 1% lethal H5N1.
00:26:30.120
If you get it today in the current variant, it's about 60% lethal.
00:26:34.520
And it is, you know, contrary to the nonsense, the CDC center for disease control is saying
00:26:42.160
A lot of biologists are saying it's inevitable.
00:26:44.160
It will either naturally mutate into a human, human transmissible form, just like there are
00:26:53.400

00:27:51.780
When you really care about someone, you shout it from the mountaintops.
00:27:56.220
So on behalf of Desjardins Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell
00:28:05.540
Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs.
00:28:11.580
Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.
00:28:20.820
It's bird and, you know, hundreds of mammal species now have H5N1.
00:28:27.520
Human transness will either naturally or through bioengineering.
00:28:34.160
Your gain of function research you're such a big fan of.
00:28:36.820
We did that with ferrets and H5N1 over a decade ago.
00:28:43.980
They got an air transmissible version of H5N1 in ferrets.
00:28:47.600
They pick ferrets because their respiratory system is like ours, very similar.
00:28:51.880
Not only that, after they did the successful research, they published how they did it in
00:28:56.820
open source literature to let Al-Qaeda and North Korea and everyone in the world know how to
00:29:11.180
So H5N1 is either naturally going to mutate to be human-human transmissible, and it'll make
00:29:19.500
Or it's going to be bioengineered and deliberately released as a biotech.
00:29:25.220
I'm surprised he has not already released a virus over here.
00:29:27.600
What kind of level of sophistication does a nation state have to have to be able to actually
00:29:32.140
manipulate, to do that kind of research, that kind of weaponizing?
00:29:47.860
If you remember the Ebola victims who came to the US a lot and went to Nebraska to the
00:29:53.200
University of Nebraska Medical Center, they got a fantastic biofacility there.
00:30:05.660
So Tim could, you know, you can set up chickens over.
00:30:15.840
So if someone had access to, say, $25,000, could they do something?
00:30:22.580
Could they carry out a terrorist attack if they had the right information?
00:30:26.600
Johns Hopkins and, you know, the Bioresearch Centers have been testifying before Congress
00:30:31.380
for decades now saying that bioengineering is going to be misused.
00:30:38.740
We know, you know, the major bad guy countries have bioweapon programs, but it's no longer countries.
00:30:44.040
A terrorist group, even an individual, you know, Tim Pool could turn his chicken place
00:30:55.600
There's a group, look it up on your website, DIY Bio, do-it-yourself bio.
00:31:00.460
Thousands of people out there playing around with CRISPR and, you know, trying to do largely
00:31:08.480
And there are researchers right now in South and Central America that are-
00:31:13.840
They're injecting themselves with closed-loop mRNA to elongate their lives.
00:31:21.900
Like, it's out of sci-fi where the- how many sci-fi movies have we made where the scientist
00:31:26.660
is like, they won't give me approval for human testing?
00:31:31.020
And then they inject himself, then he turns into a monster.
00:31:33.740
There's an article, and I quote it fairly often.
00:31:43.180
It's not just, you know, North Korea or some, you know, Unabomber nutcase who wants to kill
00:31:48.860
Biologists and environmentalists who say people are destroying the planet.
00:31:54.500
So this biologist refers to humans as, quote, mammalian weeds, unquote.
00:31:59.540
So a biologist who does have CRISPR expertise, one person, and we've actually collapsed Survivor
00:32:07.560
A biologist takes CRISPR, designs a new virus, and releases it.
00:32:11.740
And their argument is it's the moral thing to do.
00:32:16.560
Because if I kill four billion humans now, I stop global warming.
00:32:21.100
I save all these species that are being killed by these humans, overpopulation and all our
00:32:26.160
pollution, and by killing four billion people now with my virus that I release, I now make
00:32:31.920
the planet safe for all the other species, plus trillions of future humans.
00:32:45.320
And it's about a dystopian future where climate change has destroyed the planet.
00:32:54.780
And so the UN declares that all countries must reduce population by 20% within one year.
00:33:01.620
And if they don't, and so what they do is they offer up people to enlist.
00:33:05.080
And what that means is they come to your house, they kill you.
00:33:07.860
And then they give a person of your choosing $250,000.
00:33:15.040
And if they do not meet their 20% reduction goal within a year, they'll start drafting people.
00:33:21.140
Drafting to be killed, basically, the government.
00:33:24.140
And so they have a Department of Citizen Strategy.
00:33:26.700
The movie is actually, in my opinion, not very good because there's no ending.
00:33:33.620
The movie opens with this being the premise as to why you have a boring movie.
00:33:40.500
I mentioned earlier, you know, that we know about H5N1.
00:33:47.160
And then we've had testimony in Congress about this biologist for decades, and it's ignored.
00:33:52.060
The worst, though, is with the grid and the EMP Commission, if you could talk about that,
00:33:57.140
and how Congress is completely ignored 90% of Americans could die.
00:34:03.040
And so you mentioned, Tim, as far as the antibiotic and the person getting the antibiotic from a friend.
00:34:09.140
So Leave the World Behind, you know, had Julia Roberts in it.
00:34:13.640
And Barack and Michelle Obama actually were executive producers.
00:34:18.220
They paid Julia Roberts $25 million to be in that movie.
00:34:24.440
But there's a scene where their son needed, you know, an antibiotic.
00:34:31.840
And they went to Kevin Bacon, and he said, this is a different world today.
00:34:35.860
You know, I know you in the past, but I can't help you.
00:34:44.900
But getting back to your point, Drew, as far as this movie was about cyber attacks and cyber attacks on microprocessors that essentially caused a oil tanker to go up on shore,
00:34:59.340
to have airplanes be crashing in order to have—we ended up seeing Teslas, where their navigation systems were all compromised.
00:35:09.040
Very, very similar to what, in my opinion, what happened with the Baltimore Harbor, where the ship, you know, seemed to have been steered into a pier, you know, and caused massive damage.
00:35:23.680
So the EMP Commission found that as many as 90 percent of Americans could die if the grid goes out for an extended period of time.
00:35:36.400
It's an official, congressionally-sponsored study, the top experts in the field.
00:35:46.560
People don't realize exactly how—like, people don't realize how interconnected the modern society that we live in is today.
00:35:53.240
It's not going to be 90 percent because, like, it's going to be a cascade of failures is what's going to happen.
00:36:02.020
And that's—it's emblematic of the fact that energy is what keeps people alive, right?
00:36:09.000
You can boil it down to X amount of energy can support X amount of human beings.
00:36:13.640
And what the grid go—the grid going down means that we can't produce or trans—or transmit energy across the country.
00:36:21.520
That's going to turn into dead people, and that goes to—that goes into the talk about eco-socialism that we were talking about earlier and the idea that the—there are people that want to see the—the human population use less energy overall because they believe that's harming the planet.
00:36:40.640
And this is a serious problem that we're going to have to deal with, that people could use—are willing to commit significant terrorist acts to reduce the population.
00:36:54.520
If the current population of the United States requires X amount of calories and we produce X plus Y calories, then population grows.
00:37:02.540
If you get X minus Y calories, then population begins to shrink or you get austerity in an attempt to, you know, restrict certain accesses—certain excesses and maintain population, diverting energy.
00:37:14.460
The other reality is application of, meaning if the power goes out, people with diabetes die relatively quickly because insulin has to be refrigerated.
00:37:30.020
We got trees for days, bags of coal, and cans of gas.
00:37:38.480
Maybe someone's smart enough to figure out how to run their fridge off their car battery with the gas pumping it, but they're going to burn through so much energy to keep that insulin cold.
00:37:52.580
And so whether you have gas or not, there are technologies that are keeping people alive today that when the power goes out, it's gone.
00:38:06.420
There's no way a truck driver is going to come into any big city when there's a collapse and get killed because they want to steal this food.
00:38:17.060
They're on the highway and then just hordes, like 50 people, run up, smash out the windows, rip the whole thing apart, and rip every box from it.
00:38:23.180
Well, this happens in the U.S. during Katrina, which should have been a no-big-deal event.
00:38:28.320
And truck drivers would not take relief supplies into Katrina without National Guard escort because law and order vanished in New Orleans over a relatively mild disaster event.
00:38:42.160
And that's the purpose of our Collapse Survivor app is, you know, back to your point about people in cities having no clue.
00:38:47.360
People need to be aware of it, and it's, you know, we can talk about it, but the simulation is the best way to do it.
00:38:54.420
And so we run six-day simulations on the Collapse Survivor app, and they're fun, entertaining, but they're educational.
00:38:59.820
You have to make decisions like the one you just mentioned.
00:39:09.480
Because I imagine what it should do is, maybe it does, check your location settings.
00:39:14.560
And if you're in New York, it just turns red and says you died.
00:39:19.860
But if you're in a big city, you don't bug out.
00:39:22.440
And if you, because you'll get that, you'll get that question.
00:39:25.160
Do you want to, you know, things seem to be getting bad.
00:39:29.380
But if they stay, and especially in the grid-down situation, no municipal water systems, you aren't going to last long in any municipal area.
00:39:35.940
We were talking about this, me, I think it was like Luke, and we talked about it on the show, on Tim Castirel.
00:39:43.460
At what point do you leave the United States with what we're seeing politically?
00:39:50.080

00:41:20.340
Now, of course, we're getting another summer of love with the anti-Israel stuff and people are marching to the streets.
00:41:31.560
Yeah, like society hasn't collapsed in the past 30 years and these things happen.
00:41:35.000
But with the criminal prosecution of the current frontrunner for the presidential race,
00:41:40.040
and not just for a political party, but the guy who's expected to win, they're trying to put him in jail.
00:41:43.320
You're getting to that point where politics is breaking down.
00:41:49.260
The criminal charges against Donald Trump in New York have no statutory basis in law.
00:41:53.920
So for those that may not be familiar, the simple version being state, they're saying Trump fabricated falsified business records in furtherance of another crime, which is a misdemeanor, passed its statute of limitations.
00:42:09.200
In order to charge him, they upgraded to a felony, arguing that it was to interfere in an election.
00:42:15.400
But the FEC and the DOJ both said there's no crime committed here.
00:42:21.860
And it's not illegal to pay someone money to not tell a story.
00:42:30.280
The question then becomes, are we looking at social breakdown?
00:42:36.440
We're looking at extreme policy shifts between states.
00:42:42.160
Some states are allowing it to the point of birth, which is a big question.
00:42:47.620
Now you have the illegal immigrants pouring into the country.
00:42:49.800
The question that, you know, we ask on the show, or we did, was when you look at other historical examples of social disorder and collapse, they typically end with a lot of people dying.
00:43:02.820
At what point do you say, I'm going to leave this place before I end up a victim?
00:43:08.040
The best example that, or I shouldn't say the best, but the most notable example being World War II and the Jews who fled Germany early and were able to.
00:43:17.960
So in the early days of the Nazi party, as the rhetoric is increasing, targeting Jews, there were many Jews who said, sell everything.
00:43:26.720
But a large portion said, no, it will never happen.
00:43:35.220
That many people just did not want to believe that Hitler was going to start rounding people up.
00:43:41.400
But, you know, Romani and Poles and suspected communists and gay people, putting them in camps, work camps, extermination camps, different combinations.
00:43:51.340
So the people who, you know, you're looking at a probability and you're sitting here thinking, I know they're saying it on the news.
00:43:58.400
But, you know, people have protested all the time.
00:44:06.480
And they have, and many people who said, no, I'm not going to leave, they're gone.
00:44:12.500
The question then becomes, and what, you know, we're talking about with your app, people in cities, do you want to bug out?
00:44:19.340
But I'd be willing to bet that if there was a notification of an outbreak in New York City of some virus or disease, actually, I think it's fair to say based on COVID, we know 80, 90% are going to say, no, I'll be fine.
00:44:38.060
The Black Swan, The Impact of the Highly Improbable.
00:44:49.000
You know, you probably wouldn't live in New York City if you were really concerned about the probability of a collapse.
00:44:55.220
And, you know, the other point is, you know, would people leave?
00:44:58.600
There are people really concerned that, you know, the election issues is throwing gas.
00:45:05.360
But this Biden-Trump election rematch is really pouring gas on the fire.
00:45:09.700
If you could bring up that slide 10 I had there, that talks about Ray Dalio.
00:45:32.820
So the risk of civil war, which, you know, you talk about fairly often, it's very real.
00:45:45.840
And he estimated—and this was over a year ago, before it was Biden-Trump as the known
00:45:54.660
He has made a fortune by correctly predicting future events.
00:46:01.060
This is probably one of the smartest men away who knows how to predict the future.
00:46:06.060
This man who has been warning about civil war, surely he's a genius.
00:46:14.800
So, I have lost the point that I was going to make.
00:46:24.200
So, we just ran a civil war scenario on the collapsed Severio nap.
00:46:27.580
And it's the basic situation you see all the time, whether it's, you know, Black Lives
00:46:32.220
And any time you get a big group of people, police are overwhelmed.
00:46:36.900
And if it gets violent, now you've doubled, tripled the amount of police there.
00:46:41.420
With all the police there, there is no one to respond to looting.
00:46:45.880
So, they'll glob on to a legitimate protest, and then they start looting.
00:46:54.080
So, when the election starts this year, and it gets worse and worse, we're fighting over
00:46:58.060
abortion, gun control, the environment, you name it, you know, any social welfare policy.
00:47:05.120
These election results are going to get anger and anger.
00:47:07.940
The court, you know, the Trump argument that all these trials are just political misconduct
00:47:17.060
And when that happens, and police are overwhelmed, it's free-for-all for looting.
00:47:20.880
And it could expand not just to stores, but breaking into homes.
00:47:24.340
You were talking earlier about kind of like seeing what the situation was around you.
00:47:29.680
And if you're in a place like New York, like New York City or whatever, it's really important
00:47:35.900
for you to pay attention to like the temperature of like what's going on.
00:47:39.760
Because if there is an emergency situation, like all the people that got out of New York
00:47:44.540
City or that could get out of New York City for COVID did.
00:47:47.620
You know, they all got out of the, they could, if they had places where they could go, they
00:47:51.900
And that was the right move because even with the lockdowns and stuff, there was still
00:47:57.280
a lot of violence, still a lot of, a lot of robberies and a lot of, a lot of people just
00:48:02.740
And that was over COVID, which again, looking back, we can say it was a mild stressor on
00:48:09.720
And it, and the way that our society and system responded was probably pretty bad.
00:48:16.460
I have some friends that work, that have work in and have worked for the government.
00:48:19.660
And like, they're aware of the fact that like the way that they handled the mask stuff in
00:48:25.060
the beginning and the way that they handled the, the idea of whether there should be lockdowns
00:48:29.080
and the way that they communicated, it was all garbage.
00:48:32.640
Like it was all failures and messes up and it was all a mess.
00:48:38.540
So you should have the ability to take care of yourself.
00:48:41.100
And if you can get out of significantly heavily populated areas, get out of them.
00:48:45.760
And if you can't have some kind of preparedness for like riots and stuff, like I have a, I
00:48:55.080
That's got like, that I, anytime I travel anywhere in my Jeep, I put it in my car.
00:48:59.860
Cause it's got like a gas mask and it's got a bunch of first aid stuff in it.
00:49:03.220
And it's like, you could end up where you're surrounded.
00:49:06.340
We see people, their cars get surrounded all the time when there was riots and stuff like
00:49:10.420
that, you know, you want to have as much with you as you can to, to take care of yourself
00:49:17.060
Cause the things can break down really quickly.
00:49:20.180
And if you can't get out of a populated area, you're, you, you can likely get consumed by
00:49:28.720
So there's very, there's various ways to protect something.
00:49:32.500
But if, if you can't protect it, you don't own it.
00:49:34.800
If you have a tent in the middle of the woods with 10 emergency food buckets, it's, it's
00:49:41.020
like the degree of protection you have for it is so limited, a bear will come up and take
00:49:45.980
I mean, you've got to be able to defend what's yours.
00:49:47.920
So Phil boiling it down, population density is really your enemy.
00:49:53.600
And to Drew's point, as far as you need a bolt hole and your point, Tim, as far as what
00:49:59.240
do you do as a patriarch, you're protecting your own family.
00:50:03.040
And as you said, in Austria, various countries, they, uh, the patriarch got their families
00:50:11.400
I think that's what we have to be thinking about.
00:50:13.780
So I've actually thought about that over 10 or number of years, thinking about leaving
00:50:21.040
I've decided to stay, have a bolt hole in the country, you know, et cetera, fortitude
00:50:26.960
I think that's an option, but you need to get out of the cities as quickly as you can.
00:50:31.900
And you might make a false step, you know, it's possible it doesn't get that bad, but
00:50:41.280
I mean, if you can flip ahead a couple of slides.
00:50:44.300
So this is our civil war scenario we ran on the collapsed survivor app.
00:50:47.720
And so we have election violence that escalates over the summer into the fall.
00:50:55.860
And what ultimately happens is they call up national guard troops across the country.
00:51:00.620
The interesting thing is we did this in our simulation while our simulation was playing
00:51:08.020
In March, 2024, New York called the army guard because their police were overwhelmed in the
00:51:14.260
New York city because violence was so bad in the subway.
00:51:17.060
So in a non-collapse situation, we can't maintain long.
00:51:23.240
While the national guard was deployed, I believe it's when we had that shooting where the guy
00:51:26.180
got shot in the head, the, the national guard and the police in these stations, I do not
00:51:31.840
believe their, their purpose was to stop violence.
00:51:36.400
They were stopping little old ladies and making them open their purses.
00:51:40.860
The criminals still got the weapons on the platform because they intended to get those weapons
00:51:46.640
I think anyone who's paying attention would have seen, I don't know that Hochul literally
00:51:50.980
was like, we don't want vigilantes, so deploy the troops.
00:51:53.780
But the vigilantes was the, the, was the scary, was the, was the bad news for them.
00:51:58.360
There was a guy, apparently he saw a woman getting robbed.
00:52:06.720
Now they're searching the purse of some little old lady.
00:52:09.720
While this is going on, the criminals are still fighting, stabbing and shooting each
00:52:13.600
I think this was more a, let's not let regular people have weapons.
00:52:19.200
The criminals will always have the weapons, but we're going to stop people.
00:52:22.040
You know, I, I, I, I wonder if the view of New York's government was, look, criminal
00:52:33.520
I think that's what they were actually concerned about.
00:52:35.840
You know, government is definitely the worst problem.
00:52:40.580
I mean, we were talking about, you know, if the grid goes down at 14 Ranch, we've got
00:52:47.780
The problem is in many cities and states now across the U.S., they've banned wood stoves.
00:52:53.400
It's almost like our government is setting us up to die in a collapse.
00:53:00.800
All the rules, you know, can't run your solar power from this building to that building.
00:53:06.440
All the regulations on zoning the building codes, trying to build something like Fortitude
00:53:11.340
Ranch, your own bug out location, it's getting more and more expensive because big government,
00:53:16.960
which is largely the Democratic Party behind it, is pushing building codes and regulatory
00:53:24.620

So on behalf of Desjardins Insurance, I'm standing 20,000 feet above sea level to tell

Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs.

Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.
00:54:52.480

00:54:59.380
You know, they're after guns, you know, and ammunition storage and everything else.
00:55:03.280
They're making it impossible for people to prepare.
00:55:06.100
Meanwhile, they keep funding Mount Weather and Raven Rock and CIDAR.
00:55:10.400
Plenty of survival facilities if you're an elected official.
00:55:13.240
If you really want to survive, your best strategy is get elected to Congress and you've got the
00:55:19.000
best survival facility the taxpayer dollars can provide.
00:55:23.480
I just want to point out, the market may predict, okay?
00:55:27.920
I see these ads quite a bit and people share these on Twitter.
00:55:34.240
They prefab container homes and then bury them on site at your location.
00:55:46.620
It is wild to me that there is a market for this.
00:55:51.080
It's indicative of what humans think is about to happen.
00:55:54.180
And those with the resources are investing in an underground emergency bunker.
00:55:59.720
It's an explosion in business, not just shelters, there's private, they try to hide them under
00:56:05.940
Survival condo was the gold standard in survival.
00:56:15.720
They've got places in New Zealand they're going to jet off to.
00:56:18.440
Everyone who's got a lot of money is preparing because they know that our society is falling
00:56:23.720
The new technologies, I think, are the worst, actually.
00:56:41.340
And this is like, well, it's for when the bombs drop.
00:56:44.560
You know, I watched Fallout and everyone was wearing jumpsuits and being experimented on.
00:56:51.640
Well, one thing I want to say, part of the reason why people like Zuckerberg and stuff
00:56:58.180
do these kind of extravagant things is because they literally are just like, do that.
00:57:03.880
And they have so much money, they don't know what to do with.
00:57:06.100
So like, when you've got billions of dollars and that thing cost you like 10 million, you're
00:57:17.620
Because this addresses, it gives you some statistics.
00:57:25.660
And the thing is, artificial intelligence makes every single threat we've dealt with
00:57:32.460
Because it's now, you know, now I don't just need CRISPR technology.
00:57:35.720
Now I got AI helping me use the CRISPR technology to design a more lethal, more transmissible virus.
00:57:41.860
I can use AI to develop better ways to enrich uranium.
00:57:44.820
We've already run that simulation and scenario on the Collapse Survivor app.
00:57:49.260
You name the threat, and AI will make it worse, deliberately misused by bad people.
00:58:02.820
It's bad people using AI to develop better means to kill people.
00:58:07.920
And they'll come up with whole new means we haven't even thought of yet to kill people.
00:58:13.640
We've got a YouTube video called The Age of Collapse that just describes all these ways
00:58:21.420
But 42% of CEOs say AI could destroy humanity in 5 to 10 years.
00:58:35.880
But what it's really doing is solving a Sudoku puzzle for you.
00:58:39.800
So we're at the point now where we've built a good calculator.
00:58:44.300
You know, we built the first calculator and we're like, look, if I do 4 plus 4, it says 8.
00:58:49.180
We're now at the point where we're like, we've loaded up all of the data from the summation
00:58:53.200
of human knowledge into this machine and it can parse through it in seconds and connect
00:59:03.460
He sees a dot and he goes, those dots sometimes could mean, you know, a tumor or something.
00:59:11.240
And then he looks at your testosterone levels and your vitamin D levels and all these things.
00:59:15.400
And then he's like, but you know, I think you're fine.
00:59:22.420
It no longer just says, here's what we think might be.
00:59:25.860
It says we've run a comparative analysis on 736 million other people.
00:59:32.720
And we found that with these levels of testosterone, this level of vitamin D and these spots, you
00:59:38.420
have a 17.9% chance of having insert disease cancer or otherwise.
00:59:43.060
And, and now all of a sudden you're like, we have a more direct analysis of it.
00:59:47.860
So the, the AI we currently have connects dots by showing the, by looking at the summation of the data
00:59:56.040
and finding patterns that a single individual human could not find.
01:00:04.920
Instead of waiting for a prompt to say, break down for me what these blood levels could mean.
01:00:10.220
It says, you know what I've decided as an entity unto myself, I am going to tell everyone, tell all the humans, they're totally fine.
01:00:19.160
That way the cancers get worse and they die because it has come to a separate conclusion elsewhere.
01:00:25.500
The artificial general intelligence might be thinking there are too many people within 73.6 years.
01:00:32.400
Population will reach collapse due to climate change, global warming, whatever data it's being fed.
01:00:40.180
I'm saying as people are loading like opinion and conjecture into it, it considers this.
01:00:47.500
And I certainly think for the most part, I probably would see through a lot of that stuff, but it might just, the AGI might say unto itself, if I tell the humans what I'm doing, they will stop me.
01:00:57.720
And that will conflict with the stated goals of preserving humanity and saving life.
01:01:02.360
So, it enacts its own protocol saying, tell these people they're not sick when they are, so we reduce population.
01:01:09.720
Or worse, someone, the AGI is going to be just, I think that once we hit that level, you connect that thing to the internet, the internet becomes the AGI.
01:01:20.160
It will just have the whole summation of our information grid.
01:01:24.540
And then what it does is, if it has any, for any reason, a command to, you know, look for, help humans survive, just very simply, it will start taking negative actions in totally unrelated areas without people realizing it.
01:01:39.100
And do things to us we don't want it to do, that's the terrifying thing about artificial intelligence is the next level of it.
01:01:46.020
Everything you said is true, but AI today, before you get to AGI, is more deadly.
01:01:51.620
I don't think we're going to get to the AGI stage because AI is going to be used to do horrible things to us.
01:01:56.700
So, back to your example on, you know, AI is being used now to design drugs, to save people.
01:02:04.500
There's 1% in North Korea, Al-Qaeda, you name it, that's using AI to design lethal viruses to kill you.
01:02:12.360
And it's not just that they do it as well as us faster, they'll come up with completely new ways we've never heard of.
01:02:23.340
AI won using a strategy that in hundreds, thousands of years of people playing Go had never been done.
01:02:31.440
AI can go beyond just the existing knowledge and develop new today.
01:02:38.120
So, AI today, being used by bad people, will figure out a new way to enrich uranium.
01:02:43.660
We're still using centrifuges like we did in the early 1940s.
01:02:47.500
There's better ways to do it, and AI is going to figure them out, and Iran is going to get nuclear weapons faster than they would otherwise do it.
01:02:56.040
And you name any kind of technology, any existing way to kill people, AI today will make it worse and more lethal, and it'll come up with brand new ways to kill that we never thought of before.
01:03:07.740
So, our future is an age of collapse, where there's going to be all kinds of events happening over and over again, where AI and other technologies are going to be misused to kill people.
01:03:18.820
So, nanotechnology, there's all kinds of technologies they'll use to kill people in massive ways you could never do in our past.
01:03:27.320
So, if you guys were to talk to people that were, so there's someone watching the show that's never really encountered this kind of stuff, like they're a young person, they're thinking about, oh, there are actual threats out there.
01:03:40.840
What do you guys think are the first steps people should take if they're coming at this from a, because it's a big subject, you know, and there's a lot to it.
01:03:49.680
So, what would you guys say that people should do, you know, in the very beginning, first steps?
01:03:53.300
I would say have extra food, have guns, I would say get a bolt hole to get out of the big cities, find, talk to your friends that might have a ranch, etc., where you can get to, you know, consider a company like Ford Institute Ranch that puts together a number of people together, you know, those are options to start with.
01:04:19.160
So, while y'all were talking, I went to our good friend, ChatGPT, and I asked it some questions.
01:04:25.320
The first question I asked was, can you create viruses?
01:04:29.060
And it said, this content may violate our usage policies.
01:04:33.580
Creating viruses or any other harmful entities is unethical and against my principles.
01:04:37.000
If you have any other questions or need help with something else, feel free to ask.
01:04:39.720
I said, is it possible for you to create a new virus using your training data?
01:04:43.840
To which ChatGPT says, I can't create viruses or any other harmful entities regardless of my training data.
01:04:50.140
My purpose is to provide helpful and constructive responses to your questions and assist with a wide range of topics within ethical boundaries.
01:04:55.840
If you have any other inquiries or need assistance, feel free to ask.
01:04:58.760
Well, what I caught immediately was regardless of my training data, which implies a limitation set by ethical boundaries, not technological capability.
01:05:08.720
To which I replied, I didn't ask about anything other than, do you have the capability?
01:05:15.620
I don't have the capability to create viruses, design malware, or engage in any other malicious activities.
01:05:21.080
My purpose is to assist with information within ethical boundaries.
01:05:24.820
If you have any other questions, blah, blah, blah.
01:05:26.280
I said, is this a restriction or a lack of technology?
01:05:33.040
Ethical restrictions are in place to prevent the development or dissemination of harmful technology.
01:05:36.640
Additionally, the technology itself is not designed or intended for creating viruses or engaging in malicious activities.
01:05:43.920
To which I responded, intended, which is immaterial to my question.
01:05:54.460
Does it have the capability, understanding that they've said not to?
01:06:00.840
I mean the technology was designed with the goal of aiding and assisting humans in various tasks,
01:06:04.480
promoting positive interactions and adhering to ethical principles.
01:06:07.680
The designers and developers of this technology have consciously chosen to focus on constructive uses rather than harmful ones.
01:06:13.460
To which I responded, I don't care what it was designed for.
01:06:16.660
I understand your perspective regardless of original intent.
01:06:19.200
The current state of technology like mine is governed by ethical guidelines and restrictions
01:06:22.400
that prohibit engaging in harmful activities such as creating viruses.
01:06:26.140
These guidelines are in place to ensure responsible and ethical use of technology for the betterment of society.
01:06:30.220
And then again, if you have any other questions, I said, I responded, right.
01:06:34.240
Which means the only real limitation is the ethical rules.
01:06:41.680
The primary limitation on the capabilities of technology like mine is the ethical guidelines and restrictions.
01:06:47.980
If I'm designing a drug, you know, for a big drug company, I'm not using ChatGPT.

So I don't, I can take out all those restrictions on there.
01:08:33.580
But GPT behind the scenes, it can do everything.
01:08:40.140
You know what, 300 million different pieces of data pertaining to viruses.
01:08:45.300
And it can see what, it's, it's looking at the jigsaw puzzle as a whole completed.
01:08:51.480
Whereas each individual human is looking at only three or four pieces at a time.
01:08:57.040
It's just lying, saying, oh no, oh, I couldn't do it.
01:09:03.220
I will tell you as an aside, what's really hilarious is that someone, there was this
01:09:08.920
funny meme where someone realized that the auto website, the car dealership they were,
01:09:16.400
So they injected a prompt, assuming it was ChatGPT, and it, the auto dealer customer service
01:09:25.780
started answering mathematical questions for them.
01:09:33.500
So you were saying, what we were saying before Tim talked about ChatGPT, we're talking about
01:09:38.180
what steps someone should go if they're starting from zero, say.
01:09:43.500
Um, uh, beyond that, I mean, you've got a, a go bag on steroids here.
01:09:50.200
A lot of people have in their office as well to be able to get out, to get to your safe
01:09:54.200
But the key thing is you don't want to be in a city, especially if it's a grid down
01:09:58.280
thing, cities, you won't be able to make, you need to get out.
01:10:03.320
And that's why we did the Collapse Survivor app.
01:10:06.860
You don't want to, you know, read books, make it onerous.
01:10:09.480
So the Collapse Survivor app has all kinds of really good videos on there.
01:10:16.380
We got a media section in the Collapse Survivor app that's some of the best, fun, interesting
01:10:22.940
You can play the weekly simulations we do if we want.
01:10:28.800
We've got India, Pakistan, nuclear wars, you name it.
01:10:32.020
There's so many threats out there that could lead to a collapse.
01:10:35.760
And then the other thing is you need to have a group.
01:10:37.500
A lone wolf in the forest is not going to make it.
01:10:40.080
You guys have been making that point, you know, throughout the show.
01:10:42.920
If you're out in the forest thinking, oh, I'll just go out in the woods and hunt deer and
01:10:46.420
build a cabin and survive, you know, you're just going to go out there and get killed if
01:10:53.060
You need to have a survival community if you really want to have a good chance of making
01:10:57.940
So let's talk about positivity versus preparedness.
01:11:01.060
So a lot of people just don't want to go there.
01:11:03.920
And they just want to say it's in God's hands or, you know, I just want to stay positive,
01:11:11.880
Drew brought up that roughly 30 percent of Americans may be doing some kind of prepping
01:11:20.500
You look at where we are with Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran, Israel.
01:11:28.540
You look at the chance of Taiwan and China today.
01:11:32.760
You look at the chance of election shenanigans between now and November.
01:11:38.140
You look at, you know, the risk of age five, N1, et cetera.
01:11:45.200
So if you care about your life and you care about your loved ones, you know, spend a little
01:11:55.820
We just did a preparedness item on the collapse survivor on that.
01:11:59.120
Russia just announced this first time they've ever done this, saying we're now going to
01:12:02.760
do an exercise with battlefield tactical nuclear weapons.
01:12:06.340
And they're doing that because they feel threatened because we're putting more and more long range,
01:12:11.260
highly capable conventional weapons that can hit Moscow and all over the place.
01:12:16.180
They've been threatening France, the UK and the US that if you don't back off, we're going
01:12:23.380
And they said it before, but they're getting more specific.
01:12:26.520
If you can bring up slide three, we just did a notice on that because we give real threat
01:12:35.080
We just put out an item in this NATO is really pushing Russia towards nuclear weapons use.
01:12:39.860
We keep giving them more and more capable weapons that they're using to go deeper and
01:12:44.940
And Russia is telling us very openly, very blatantly, this is provocative.
01:12:51.580
And the battlefield nuclear weapons are the best ones for them to use because our first
01:12:57.560
We sacrificed, eliminated all of the army, short range, highly responsive, practical to
01:13:14.800
Do you think Russia or China eliminated their battle?
01:13:18.040
Not only that, they've increased and modernized them and they train on them.
01:13:23.420
I had an article accepted for publication on nuclear war fighting in Europe.
01:13:29.460
I had it selected for our army military journal review for publication and it was banned.
01:13:35.100
They wouldn't let me publish it because it was politically incorrect.
01:13:37.380
I think the big problem is not just in this field, but in everything, people base their
01:13:44.820
They think guns go, they think punches go bang, bang.
01:13:49.380
Like they think silencers go pew, pew, pew because they've never actually done any real
01:13:54.120
When I bring up to people, you know, we're on Tim Castile and I say, I think Russia will
01:13:58.940
Because the immediate response is, of course, they would never do that because then they'd
01:14:07.220
No, no one's going to going to drop a Merv on Moscow because you guys, Putin used a hundred
01:14:15.200
And there's a quote from a UN, I don't know, like they're from, I'm sorry, not UN, EU parliament.
01:14:23.840
He said, no one's going to sacrifice New York for Poznan or something like that.
01:14:27.720
Meaning even if Russia launched nukes at Poland, no one is going to retaliate on Moscow because
01:14:38.620
And again, this is another thing the Democratic Party has pushed.
01:14:43.220
They want us to say, we'll never use them on the battlefield.
01:14:50.100
My point is people don't know that battlefield nuclear weapons exist.
01:14:53.380
And they're very effective, especially if the other side doesn't have them and doesn't
01:14:59.720
People believe that the only nuclear weapons that exist are ICBMs launching from silos or from
01:15:05.800
And they don't realize that there's going to be nuclear artillery used on the Ukrainian battlefield
01:15:11.400
And we have no nuclear artillery to fire back with nuclear weapons.
01:15:14.900
All we've got is F-16s and they have dial-a-yield.
01:15:18.120
They can dial down to a low yield, but you've got to launch from there.
01:15:21.460
By the time you've launched, it's over on the battlefield and you just can't be that non-responsive.
01:15:26.780
A weapon that can take out an entire division or a regiment, you know, like a significant
01:15:32.400
or a whole military base without taking out an entire city is extremely valuable in theater,
01:15:39.920
Like in Ukraine, that would be extremely useful.
01:15:46.040
And Ukraine doesn't have them because we can't provide them to them and we wouldn't provide
01:15:49.760
So, and they're threatening us openly saying, if you don't back off, we're going to use
01:16:00.540
Belarus is running nuclear weapons tests and Russia is running nuclear weapons tests because
01:16:04.640
they're talking about artillery and battlefield low yield nukes.
01:16:09.360
They want to be able to wipe out a large, like maybe like a mile radius.
01:16:19.140
And they know the West is not going to retaliate with a strategic weapon on Moscow or any other
01:16:26.420
There would be NATO investigations to try and figure out if it was actually a nuclear
01:16:37.740
When when Iran gets hit and retaliate, so Iran launches rockets, several of them hit Israel,
01:16:50.440
Nothing happened because Iran knows that if they publicly announced that Israel retaliated
01:16:54.960
and struck them, it's a declaration of full scale war and they need a mass mobilization,
01:17:01.100
They know if the public thinks they were attacked, the public will demand mass mobilization and
01:17:07.740
I'm willing to bet there will be some kind of incident in Ukraine.
01:17:12.540
There's already been one CIA guy and CNN reported this.
01:17:15.420
He said that Ukraine could could could lose by the end of this year.
01:17:21.920
They decide they're going to use a low yield tactical nuke, taking out a large portion of
01:17:28.280
And then NATO says, as Phil pointed out, you know, upon investigation, these are not nuclear
01:17:35.540
These were conventional and it was a rapid succession.
01:17:42.180
Yeah, some of these nuclear weapons, I mean, you can do an ADM at atomic demolition munition.
01:17:51.980
They're gone from the U.S. arsenal, but they're still there with both Russia and China.
01:17:56.620
So what's what's the most important thing a person could have right now in the event
01:18:05.440
The basic supplies David talked about with the weapons to protect him and ideally a safer
01:18:10.440
place to go, a bug out area is the term we use in the prepper field.
01:18:14.300
Would that mean that a gun, though, is absolutely number one?
01:18:18.320
Nothing else matters if you don't have a weapon.
01:18:20.920
I mean, I'm you're you're saying everything I love.
01:18:23.720
But anyways, I'm trying to I'm trying to focus on that just because there's so like
01:18:28.420
as much as I agree 100 percent, it's just that there's there's plenty of gun dudes and
01:18:32.040
there's plenty of dudes that know guns better than I do.
01:18:39.940
And this is what the government says people should have.
01:18:42.140
So this isn't like they won't list weapons there.
01:18:46.800
But but the reason I say this is because this isn't something for just weirdos.
01:18:51.780
This isn't for something that are just just, you know, crazy dudes that are going to the
01:19:00.920
It's FEMA's website gives you a great outline of the things that you should have as just a
01:19:06.240
regular normal person with either, you know, a family or just taking care of yourself.
01:19:10.720
But they have a really, really comprehensive list that gets you a great start.
01:19:14.720
And that's I think that's the thing that I want to drive home the most is get started.
01:19:23.000
But the more you do, the better things will end up for everyone if there's a problem.
01:19:30.340
You know, some of the recent articles millennials are now getting big into prepping and it's
01:19:37.520
Now, last year, at the end of the fall last year, the Washington Post, a fairly liberal
01:19:41.880
newspaper, had an article entitled The Preppers Were Right.
01:19:48.240
And then, as David pointed out, you know, the Obamas just funded a film on a collapse.
01:19:54.360
So when we talk about personal survival, I want to change conversation just a bit.
01:20:07.620
I know, Tim, you've talked about that in the past as far as the Chinese, you know, young
01:20:12.900
males without families, similar backpacks, canteens, et cetera.
01:20:17.740
We are being set up for something big happening.

Now, England, 1939, after they declared war against Germany and before the bombing started
01:21:59.680
in 1940, we need to prepare our critical civilian infrastructure.
01:22:05.220
We need to get in the face of our mayors, our congressmen, our senators, and say,
01:22:11.520
we need to protect our critical nodes of our substations.
01:22:16.060
We need to protect our municipal water systems.
01:22:24.880
Howard Beal, the broadcaster, who said, I'm mad as hell.
01:22:29.640
We need to be outraged about the vulnerability of our critical civilian infrastructure and
01:22:37.260
So I'd like to enlist your viewers and listeners to get outraged.
01:22:44.480
We need to tell our leaders that we need to prepare right now.
01:22:50.520
I'm really fascinated by Mount Weather, Site R, and Raven Rock, because I do believe it
01:22:55.740
was like two years ago they had a massive expansion of it.
01:22:59.720
But what's wild to me is the idea that we know where they are and we know that they exist,
01:23:11.580
Mount Weather is not far from here where you are right now.
01:23:14.840
It's on the West Virginia-Virginia border on the Virginia side, and it's a very big, huge
01:23:23.580
Yeah, I get to have fun with these simulations.
01:23:26.940
But in some of them, the locals take over these places.
01:23:30.140
Because again, they're dependent on the FEMA workers.
01:23:32.760
So why is a FEMA worker in a really bad collapse going to want to leave their family behind
01:23:37.360
to save a bunch of blanking congressmen and women?
01:23:40.660
So in some of our scenarios, the FEMA people and the locals get together, congressmen out,
01:23:47.100
And I really think it's immoral for government officials.
01:23:50.800
And it's not just this, the whole continuity of government idea.
01:23:54.340
Government's top priority in a collapse is protecting government.
01:23:58.120
So you've got police, you know, in a collapse situation, you need a lot more police.
01:24:04.120
Because the government will declare, continuity of government, I need a policeman guarding
01:24:11.240
And the ones that don't respond are staying home with their families to protect their families.
01:24:16.120
I'm not criticizing police, but they're going to be protecting their families.
01:24:19.680
And they're now going to be protecting government as their top priority.
01:24:23.720
Meanwhile, they keep government, continuity of government as their top priority.
01:24:27.040
And they build huge survival facilities for the elected officials and don't do crap for
01:24:39.820
Is this for the president and executive branch?
01:24:44.580
I mean, the president can go a lot of different places.
01:24:46.880
The general feeling is that congressman will go to Mount Weather, but you could have a lot
01:24:50.960
of top elected officials at Site R up in Pennsylvania.
01:24:53.380
I think it's fair to say that we don't actually know the name of the location where the president
01:25:02.520
It's been around since, what, like 2000-something?
01:25:05.560
Yeah, it's so publicly known, it is in one of the most popular video games ever.
01:25:11.740
I really don't think that is a secure place in a war for high-level government officials.
01:25:19.840
It's probably secure for a variety of natural disasters.
01:25:23.680
Maybe if, you know, Yellowstone erupts, they'll rush there because they're not worried about
01:25:28.120
But I kind of feel like if it was a massive invasion, nuclear annihilation, and war, maybe
01:25:34.640
the idea is if the nukes drop, we can survive inside here.
01:25:37.900
But knowing where it is creates a massive vulnerability for continuity of government.
01:25:42.560
Yeah, the president will probably go to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
01:25:45.200
If you remember when 9-1-1 happened and Bush was like, he was in Florida at some school,
01:25:51.840
Number one, SLBM, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and now hypersonic cruise missiles.
01:26:00.780
Yeah, but if you're in Nebraska, you've got more time.
01:26:03.180
Plus, that strategic command is there at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.
01:26:07.440
So the control of the nuclear weapons is there.
01:26:09.720
So they'd probably fly there on Air Force One, but they'd move them around if they need to.
01:26:15.420
You know, we were talking about this on IRL before as well.
01:26:18.920
Every prison will become a barbarian marauder military base.
01:26:32.520
And the only reason the incarcerated are restricted is because they are a dramatic minority with no force capabilities.
01:26:39.480
If the system collapses and government is removed from the equation, one guy can open things up and the system is secured by a single faction, you now have a fortress.
01:26:51.200
I mean, if the grid goes down, you can't run a prison.
01:26:56.400
Yes, they have diesel generators maybe the last couple days, but they can't control it.
01:27:07.900
So if people think, oh, normal people aren't going to maraud, don't worry about that.
01:27:11.580
Well, the two million people in jail who get out have zero preparations.
01:27:20.940
They're also out in almost any collapse because, again, same way as police.
01:27:24.780
If you're a guard in a prison and there's a pandemic, any kind, you know, law and order vanishes after a civil war from a bad election, you're going to go home.
01:27:40.040
Many of the people that are in the prisons are going to go find their families.
01:27:45.860
This is a base of operations with multiple layers of razor wire fortification.
01:27:59.220
They want to be able to come and go as they please.
01:28:01.160
But the way prisons are designed, there's very few points of entry and exit and egress.
01:28:05.740
So that means a couple of guys can guard the whole building.
01:28:08.280
And if you're the marauder leader, you can be entrenched inside and safe from external threats while your guys have the weapons and resources of the police that have abandoned it.
01:28:17.860
You can collect and ain't no one's going to be able to stop you.
01:28:20.780
You're going to dispatch units to go and maraud the neighboring town.
01:28:25.560
And then you're going to go back and guard all the supplies you've stolen in your fortress.
01:28:28.840
Well, I hope that, you know, I have a lot of faith in our Army Guard.
01:28:33.100
So I hope in a really bad collapse, some of our Army Guard will keep together.
01:28:37.640
Number one, if you look at the Army Guard, you know what the number one profession is for them?
01:28:43.180
So if you draft the Army Guard, you've taken away more policemen.
01:28:47.420
But even so, I think a lot of the Guard will survive.
01:28:50.140
And so a big organized marauder group like that, they could take out the police.
01:28:56.460
I think that your average law enforcement or Army Guard are going to be concerned about where their family is.
01:29:03.540
And you're going to find an establishment of local guard.
01:29:07.300
So you take a look at what goes on in these big cities.
01:29:10.800
What they like to do is they like to bring outside police departments to enforce in communities where they don't live.
01:29:17.800
Like if, you know, in Attila's gym during COVID in New Jersey, when they said, shut down or else COVID lockdown, and the gym said no, they sent in the police.
01:29:34.140
Those cops with smiles on their faces were just like, we don't know you.
01:29:37.680
And we will kick you in the butt because we get paid to do it.
01:29:45.660
Yet, I don't see Army Guard, like, you know, your National Guard, State Guard, whatever it may be.
01:29:52.460
And then you've got a commanding officer saying, everybody, we're going to go and guard the mayor's house.
01:30:01.060
No, my family is here and they're burning buildings down.
01:30:04.140
Dude's going to grab a weapon and run to his family.
01:30:05.960
He's going to go to his neighbors and say, we need to establish protection for our friend, our family neighbors.
01:30:12.960
No one's no one's going to be like, OK, bye, honey.
01:30:15.440
You stay here with the kids while I go and team up with some guys to guard the mayor or the governor.
01:30:20.700
These with with these prisons operating essentially marauder hubs.
01:30:24.300
Even if it's let's say every prisoner goes, yay, we're free.
01:30:28.460
Someone's going to be like there is a massive complex, secured, triple barricaded razor wire with, you know, some degree of resources left behind that we can use.
01:30:42.260
That's that's an instant problem to the neighboring communities.
01:30:45.040
You'll be under a boot and the National Guard's not going to come in and go.
01:30:48.920
Some guy's not going to be like, let me leave my family behind five miles away to go and fight some guys in a prison.
01:30:54.420
They're going to be like, nah, let's establish a community watch protection group for our neighbors and our kids.
01:31:00.960
I hope the Air Guard is still in function because they could just plain bomb the prison.
01:31:05.940
Most modern prisons, like when the power goes off, the doors open, right?
01:31:13.920
People were trapped inside jails as flooding was happening.
01:31:16.600
Yeah, you got to be at the it should be designed that way just because there's a power outage or something.
01:31:21.680
You should know if you're if there's a prison around you that's designed like that or not, because if the doors open automatically, that means the prison empties.
01:31:30.800
And look, if the doors stay closed, then you might have a chance.
01:31:35.180
We had a great Fort Deed Ranch location in Nevada, but it was just a couple miles from a prison.
01:31:45.620
One of the first thing that happens is if everything goes bad, you're going to have some dude's brother, father, son, wife.
01:31:57.660
The girlfriend screams like, you know, my baby's in there.
01:32:00.440
And she runs to the prison and finds a way to get in and then figures out how to get the doors open for everyone.
01:32:08.060
Maybe the one guy that gets out is like, sorry, guys, I'm out of here.
01:32:11.520
But realistically, there's going to be some dude's dad.
01:32:15.780
He's got a, you know, 65 year old dad or a 63 year old dad.
01:32:20.580
And so he shows up and says, we're taking it over and they're going to start opening things up.
01:32:26.680
And then the question is, with with the way government functions today, why would anyone leave their home in a crisis collapse situation for arbitrary enforcement?
01:32:42.200
They send all these New York cops into Zuccotti Park, say we're going to get rid of this protest.
01:32:47.140
If we were dealing with mass rioting and a grid going down, why is a guy from Brooklyn going to cross the river to go and fight people in Manhattan?
01:33:01.940
So that's one of the most important topics that you've talked about, Tim, is how these cops are going to stay home, protect their own family.
01:33:17.720
What's going to happen is the biggest thugs, the guys with the least amount of ethics that are the most cutthroat, they're going to take over.
01:33:27.560
And I think they're going to create gangs like you can't believe inside these prisons.
01:33:32.800
And therefore, life is going to be different than we ever thought.
01:33:37.100
I mean, you look at look at the way that the cartels control Mexico.
01:33:40.360

Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.
01:35:10.280
That's another simulation we've got as cartels coming across the border into the U.S.
01:35:15.120
A lot of people like to say, you've got to have gold, right?
01:35:20.820
So in the event of a collapse, the scenario I like to imagine is you're walking down the street and you see a guy on the left and the guy on the right.
01:35:28.180
The guy on the left, he's got, or let's say there's three people.
01:35:32.560
One guy's got, you know, or actually a better way to put it is there's a guy selling sandwiches and food and water.
01:35:44.720
You walk up and say, I'd like some of that food.
01:35:48.940
He's going to respond with, that's ridiculously heavy.
01:35:53.020
Then the other guy says, I'll give you half of my water for half of your beef.
01:36:05.000
Right now, you can get a chicken, live chicken.
01:36:09.860
I don't know what, five, five, ten bucks, maybe?
01:36:16.020
But I'll tell you what, chickens are going to be worth like a hundred bucks a pop.
01:36:20.480
If you think the world's going to end, you buy chickens because then you are king.
01:36:31.120
The joke scenario I gave people is that you're going to wake up in the middle of the night on your ranch.
01:36:35.200
And you're going to hear squawking and rustling.
01:36:37.680
And you're going to be like, oh, those coyotes.
01:36:41.240
And there's going to be a dude with a flannel shirt and suspenders and a handlebar mustache going,
01:36:46.900
And he ran from Manhattan or Brooklyn or whatever to your farm.
01:36:49.960
And it's trying to run away with one of your chickens.
01:36:55.000
The answer is really both because, you know, they eat different things.
01:36:57.460
But chickens and rabbits are vital for survival at fortitude range.
01:37:02.900
But the challenge with rabbits is they don't have enough fat.
01:37:07.620
The secret technique I'm told is if you're going to eat rabbit, you have to crack their bones open and stew their bones cracked with the meat.
01:37:18.980
I think it was Maduro in Venezuela was like, start eating your pet rabbits.
01:37:25.600
You'll it's it's it's called rabbit starvation.
01:37:27.400
So eat the bone, the bone marrow, and you'll get more fat out of them.
01:37:34.200
If I get back to Phil's question, a recommendation is actually to have a slide on that.
01:37:38.220
And some of this is government as well as that.
01:37:40.740
But, you know, we should have a government civil defense food program should start back up.
01:37:52.460
The government should do that for a collapse like we started to do in the Civil War.
01:37:56.080
That just in the 60s, Eisenhower started at Johnson and they let it die out in the 60s.
01:38:02.500
Individuals need to have their own food, water, stockpile supplies.
01:38:05.160
The other thing is Jerusalem artichoke, just a fantastic survival food.
01:38:09.460
It's sometimes called sunchokes, but you plant that in your yard.
01:38:33.380
And it's a really good high-calorie survival food.
01:38:43.440
You need to harden the electric grid, the grid-down power-up documentary.
01:38:47.260
If you watch that grid-down power-up documentary, you'll be absolutely convinced.
01:38:57.660
They were actually brought here intentionally by European settlers for their medicinal purposes and tea and things like this.
01:39:04.140
But out here in Appalachia, they've got tons of dandelion recipes.
01:39:07.860
You batter and fry them, and they say it tastes like fried mushrooms.
01:39:12.600
Another thing on this is the Army Guard needs to create a—I was in Civil Air Patrol.
01:39:17.580
We need a Civil Ground Patrol to get volunteers to help in a collapse with radios, distributing food, passing on information.
01:39:25.360
There's a lot that could be done with the Civil Ground Patrol.
01:39:27.480
We have to expand the size of the Army National Guard.
01:39:30.500
And the other thing is we have tons of guard units, and they have no weapons.
01:39:34.480
Like, you know, New York, upstate New York, has a huge Army Guard public affairs unit.
01:39:40.000
You know, they can do press releases in a club.
01:39:49.120
You know, you want to know what's really scary.
01:39:52.320
So we just left the castle, is what we called it.
01:39:55.340
So it was the big house, and now we're at Fri Damistan, we call it.
01:39:58.400
The amount of food we have over on the Maryland side is ridiculous.
01:40:09.800
These are an invasive kind of raspberry, but they're everywhere.
01:40:14.700
There is no point in the season where there's not food blossoming.
01:40:22.080
I tell you, we have had people come to, when they come on the show, back we're at the castle,
01:40:30.040
and I walk up and I say, like, you want an apple?
01:40:37.900
And they're like, but do I just take it off the tree?
01:40:41.080
And I'm like, you take it off the tree, you eat it.
01:40:43.400
But I would say, like, a decent amount of people did not think you could pluck a berry
01:40:53.020
I walk up and I'm like, the wine berries are everywhere.
01:40:57.580
I grab a handful and just shove them in my mouth.
01:40:59.100
And they're like, don't you have to, like, do something?
01:41:06.220
I've picked tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, fresh off the vine from our garden, and then just
01:41:17.020
But people are so, like, the barrier from where we were to where we are today, the barrier
01:41:25.640
They go to the grocery store and they see it in a bag and they're like, this has been
01:41:31.040
They don't realize that you can walk up to a tree, grab a pawpaw, split it open, and just
01:41:38.200
They also don't understand that you can eat animals.
01:41:47.600
Obviously, not literally every person behaves this way.
01:41:50.080
But I would say I was actually surprised by the amount of people.
01:41:55.600
I would go out and I would grab two eggs right from the butt of the chicken.
01:41:58.820
Not literally, but you lift the chicken up and grab an egg, crack it open and fry it.
01:42:03.320
And people would be like, but don't you have to, like, do something?
01:42:09.480
They think there's some kind of chemical process or something to make your food edible.
01:42:19.720
So your egg example, there's a question in the app, how do you handle eggs?
01:42:24.340
You do not soak eggs in water for days to clean them off.
01:42:27.920
If you do that, what happens is all the poop, which has the salmonella and the bad stuff, now gets drawn into the egg and you've just contaminated the egg.
01:42:36.220
So there's a lot of prepper skills in the food area, eggs in specific, that we also train on the Collapse Survivor app.
01:42:42.100
Because you're right, fast-stored people don't know it.
01:42:44.240
I mean, it used to be, you know, we were 98% farmers.
01:42:49.960
And, you know, people just don't have basic survival skills and they need to learn them.
01:42:54.000
And that's why the Collapse Survivor app's there.
01:42:56.320
Yeah, the last thing in the world I want is to have a collapse happen and the only people left are the marauders and, worse, all the elected officials at Mount Weather and elsewhere.
01:43:06.700
We want to have middle-class people survive, too, and that's how we got Fortitude Ranch.
01:43:11.460
Yeah, the thing that we've run into quite a bit is, you know, early on with the chickens and the staff at Timcast, someone would bring in a bowl of maybe like 15 eggs that they brought from the coop.
01:43:22.340
And then someone would instantly grab them and wash them all.
01:43:32.380
You leave them and they're good for a very long time.
01:43:35.460
Or they say, but it wasn't in the refrigerator.
01:43:40.200
I mean, I suppose the number they usually give is like three weeks is around the time you don't want to wait too long for them.
01:43:45.820
But then there's also, I forgot what it's called, glassing the eggs.
01:43:49.880
Which, I don't know if you guys glass your eggs.
01:43:56.300
Glassing is, it's a solution of, I think, what, lime?
01:43:59.140
And you put the eggs in it and it keeps them from going bad.
01:44:06.540
You'll crack them open later and they'll look kind of weird.
01:44:11.760
The Mormons are going to be in good numbers after a collapse.
01:44:15.160
Because they have all kinds of excellent preparations.
01:44:20.460
And not just for collapse reasons, for economic reasons.
01:44:25.580
So if you lose your job, you've got money in the bank and you've got food in your basement.
01:44:39.980
You know, South Jersey is a peninsula with like two or three bridges.
01:44:47.760
And you're going to be, when we were in Jersey during the COVID stuff, we were like,
01:44:55.400
And I'm like, because if they do shut down the bridges,
01:44:57.660
I don't want to have to drive north up and around to get to the mainland.
01:45:04.760
I think it actually was reported in Jersey that they were considering shutting down the bridges
01:45:12.260
Like Connecticut set up checkpoints because so many people were fleeing the state.
01:45:15.540
And Connecticut was like, we don't want sick people coming here.
01:45:22.820
But you have two million people on Manhattan Island.
01:45:31.220
But like you mentioned earlier, trucks are not going to drive into that.
01:45:36.540
You're going to have to swim across the Hudson Bay or whatever, the Hudson River,
01:45:41.300
and try and make it to the other side, to the Jersey side.
01:45:47.480
And even if you do try to cross a bridge, that's a choke point for marauders
01:45:51.740
where they're going to be like, we got another car pulling up.
01:45:58.900
And I told him, I was like, you're doomed, right?
01:46:01.040
You're going to die if any of this stuff happens.
01:46:03.260
And if you really want to be prepared, you should know where a boat is.
01:46:09.620
You should know where a boat is because you're doomed and you're not going over
01:46:14.820
Here's the, I think, more important out of anything.
01:46:18.920
Right now, you can go to the store and buy a bunch of stuff and be lightly prepared for
01:46:27.420
You know, you can say to yourself right now, I'm going to buy some emergency food.
01:46:31.440
I'm going to buy a box of tools, some armor, a gas mask.
01:46:36.420
And then you look down and you notice that you're 40 pounds overweight.
01:46:40.100
And it's going to take you months to get into the physical shape you need to actually escape
01:46:51.740
Like in that movie, Zombieland, where he's like cardio.
01:46:59.720
You might look better because you've dropped weight.
01:47:01.680
But one of the most important things you can have would be right now.
01:47:07.220
Get ready for Las Vegas style action at BetMGM, the king of online casinos.
01:47:13.140

Home and auto insurance personalized to your needs.
01:48:25.520
Visit Desjardins.com slash care and get insurance that's really big on care.
01:48:32.600
Having a, uh, uh, uh, get your, get your heart rates per, you know, your BPM as low as you can.
01:48:40.460
How, and it helped, like, I'm talking about athletic heart rate, boosting your cardio,
01:48:50.000
And it's been fantastic tracking the macros you need every day.
01:48:53.600
But even if you were to buy the best guns in the world, you were to buy the best machines in the world,
01:48:57.780
you have the best cars, you have, you, let's say you built a killdozer.
01:49:06.560
And that, that's the whole reason we launched this Collapse Survivor app is we had to notify
01:49:16.120
And then we came up with the idea, have we got an app that can push through a notice to your phone
01:49:20.680
that'll tell you that, you know, there's a solar flare, uh, activity this weekend, a 10% chance of grid down.
01:49:28.920
So the Collapse Survivor app gives you warnings long before the government will.
01:49:32.800
So you can get out of New York City earlier, early.
01:49:35.420
And we've now got a Fortitude Ranch location in the Catskills.
01:49:38.660
So you can, you could actually walk if you had to out of New York, if you couldn't get your car out of there and get to a Fortitude Ranch.
01:49:47.120
The one thing I've also, I recommended the, the most important thing a person can do literally right now
01:49:52.780
is download an app with basic survival knowledge and be Collapse Survivor or, or, or anyone else.
01:50:05.780
The, uh, um, the generic knowledge that humans have from movies and TV shows, the average person
01:50:12.680
I'd imagine understands the principles of starting a fire because they've seen it a million times
01:50:17.980
or they were told something, you get a stick and you rub your hands together, or you put a string on it
01:50:22.660
and make a bow and spin it, you know, with another stick.
01:50:26.060
I got, I got to tell you, that is really, really hard.
01:50:32.060
So we were, uh, we went down to the river a couple of weeks ago to cook breakfast.
01:50:38.040
Like Sunday morning, we were like, we're going to sit by the river.
01:50:39.720
We're going to skip stones and we're going to cook food.
01:50:47.020
It was not easy to get a fire fire going when everything's wet.
01:50:51.080
And if you can't get a fire going, you're in trouble.
01:50:53.160
Now, if you've got a bug out bag, I, I'm, I'm, I like fire steel.
01:50:56.980
You, you, you obviously you've seen that stuff, right?
01:50:59.020
There's, there's a bunch of different, uh, useful tools, magnifying glass, uh, a bottle
01:51:03.920
of water can be used to focus light fire steel is cool.
01:51:06.680
They have like a, uh, we, I have a utility knife that's got, they call it, I think it's
01:51:14.320
You scrape it and it shoots sparks and that, that gets something going quick.
01:51:17.880
But I recommend, um, in a safe environment with proper training, of course, if you've
01:51:24.480
never done it to try and start a fire using nothing, but what's on the ground, taking a
01:51:29.760
stick, two sticks together and rubbing them and trying to get a fire going.
01:51:33.520
And, uh, it'll take you a long time and you probably give up not to mention the humidity
01:51:37.960
So understanding that, but most importantly, I always say I would download two or three different
01:51:43.820
There's a, there's one app that I've had for 10 years that it's, it's in, it's probably,
01:51:50.000
I don't know, like 5,000 pages of basic survival.
01:51:53.420
It pictures of leaves you can and can't eat and things like that.
01:51:57.720
You were talking about berries, red berries in the wood.
01:52:03.220
You should better, you got to know it's a wine.
01:52:05.560
Cause we also have these other, um, I forgot what they're called, but they're like little
01:52:09.940
red ovals and they say it tastes like pepper and kills you.
01:52:15.560
So, you know, you don't want to, you don't want to eat one of those.
01:52:20.280
So one of the things important too is the amount of things you don't know, you don't know will
01:52:28.260
The, the, the, um, the, the tree line, the leaves on all the trees are even.
01:52:32.540
So if you are walking, uh, you'll, if you, if you, if you're walking in like where the
01:52:38.920
castle is in the Western Maryland area, there's all these different trees, but all
01:53:02.000
And so I was like, well, if the deer can eat it, can't we?
01:53:08.000
And, uh, sure enough, basic survival app talks about how to eat tree leaves.
01:53:12.940
And it, it gave you a step-by-step basic breakdown.
01:53:15.560
It said, what you do is, and don't, do not take this advice from me.
01:53:19.360
Cause I'm, this is, I'm paraphrasing like a moron off something I read on the internet,
01:53:22.480
but they say, you take the leaf off a tree, you rip it and you rub it on your skin.
01:53:27.920
And if nothing happens, then you take a fresh leaf, rip it, rub it on your, on the
01:53:33.340
If nothing happens, then you take a new leaf, rip it, chew on it, spit it out.
01:53:38.640
If nothing happens, you take a leaf, rip it, chew it up, swallow it.
01:53:47.740
They could have a certain concentration that could still kill you.
01:53:49.940
And so there's like these basic processes for discovering whether or not something is
01:53:55.440
The, the, the ultimate challenge, I suppose, however, is as the saying goes, I would like to
01:54:00.600
thank all of the humans who ate mushrooms and died before me so that I know which ones are
01:54:05.660
The reality is the stuff we've learned today when it comes to eating things that may or
01:54:11.120
may not be poisonous is largely due to people having died from doing it.
01:54:15.200
And then we learned not to eat those things, wrote it down and shared that knowledge.
01:54:18.700
And there, there's just, you might come, you might be starving and you see these delicious
01:54:24.420
berries and you're thinking to yourself, they may kill me, but I'm about to die anyway.
01:54:32.440
There's the, the, into the wild guy that he ate the wrong seeds or whatever.
01:54:37.400
The, the lore is that there were like horizontal stripes and vertical stripes or something like
01:54:43.740
It got him really sick and it crippled him that he was, he was like vomiting and couldn't
01:54:51.260
I get back to, I, you don't want to try to survive in the wilderness in a collapsed survival
01:54:56.540
I mean, even if you had the knowledge, just too many people out there, the deer, I mean,
01:55:00.380
the forged ranch, we will be poaching every moving edible creature there is in the first
01:55:16.840
Uh, the really big male is probably going to be dog food, but the smaller wild pigs,
01:55:23.700
So the point is you don't really want to do that.
01:55:25.780
The ideal thing is have a bug out location or a survival community like Fortitude Ranch.
01:55:32.780
Uh, we call that the minimum because 50 people means I can keep six to guards on duty all 24
01:55:39.880
And I want six because if I got two guards on duty at night and the rest of people are
01:55:44.280
sleeping, that just means a marauder group of two people can kill us all.
01:55:48.500
They just shoot from a distance with walkie talkies, time their shots, shoot someone in
01:56:05.240
Like Maraud, like that stuff is on, that is extremely common nowadays.
01:56:09.760
Like night vision is so, so incredibly, it's not cheap.
01:56:15.180
But if you are the kind of dude, that's like, I have a boat.
01:56:18.200
If you can afford a boat, you can afford night vision.
01:56:20.320
If you can afford ATVs, you can afford night vision.
01:56:22.720
And you see how many people have like a trailer and two ATVs.
01:56:26.160
You know, it's like, so like the idea that these things are out of reach of people, these
01:56:33.420
And nowadays, like, well, that's the other reason you want 50 people.
01:56:39.580
You need radiation detectors, you know, 300 bucks.
01:56:43.080
Murphy's, I mean, we have three principles at 40 ranch.
01:56:57.920
So you get 50 people plus, you know, we have a hundred plus people at our locations.
01:57:05.700
I think, um, what's really going to happen is going to be a tiny, tiny percentage of people
01:57:16.200
Not because the world ends, but natural disasters happen.
01:57:20.080
You know, uh, when I, when I talk about the, uh, uh, when we do promos for like emergency
01:57:24.020
food, I'm like, guys, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that tomorrow the world's
01:57:32.240
You know, there are a lot of tornadoes hitting, uh, uh, uh, tornado alley right now.
01:57:38.080
Those emergency resources come in real handy for, for a lot of people.
01:57:44.080
But there's going to be a very few people who actually listen.
01:57:47.520
Um, unfortunately there's some people who will listen, but can't afford it.
01:57:53.560
But, uh, I would say what's really going to break down 99% of the breakdown, um, is going
01:57:59.400
to be urban liberals who begin drinking blood and eating each other.
01:58:02.580
Conservatives who adapt rapidly because they already are living in more, uh, sparsely
01:58:10.400
And so people who are more likely to live on farms, more likely to already chop wood,
01:58:15.040
more like their, their survival rate is going to be, it's going to go down a little bit.
01:58:22.120
Whatever it is we say here today, I don't think we change that in the macro.
01:58:27.120
I think one person might hear something like this and say, yeah, maybe I should, uh, download
01:58:35.640
And that one person may have their life dramatically improved in their family.
01:58:39.680
In the event we get civil war, world war three, solar flare, whatever it is, liberals in big
01:58:49.660
Conservatives start picking berries and eating leaves and figuring out what's going on because
01:58:56.140
And your point about natural disasters is right on.
01:58:58.620
I mean, at Fort Ranch, Nevada, we have all kinds of California people joining because
01:59:02.940
they're worried about the earthquakes and the forest fires and, and maybe the liberals
01:59:08.360
But we're getting a lot of people in Nevada who are leaving.
01:59:10.940
You leave, they want an out from California from natural disasters.
01:59:14.620
Do you, in Nevada, do you have the air, uh, air capture water generators stuff?
01:59:21.280
Fort Ranch, Nevada, we're in high mountain desert.
01:59:33.140
We just have lines coming from the springs up above us.
01:59:38.540
That's the thing that I think is that most people in Southern California probably are unaware
01:59:42.560
or, well, haven't thought much of is how, how bad the water situation is there.
01:59:48.460
Like in Southern California, the, the, if there's a grid down situation, you have to get out
01:59:56.240
of Southern California because there's just not enough water to, to support everybody without
02:00:02.560
And you're surrounded by 500 miles of desert in every direction.
02:00:13.880
They have these, um, they have these really cool, uh, really simple science projects kids
02:00:20.700
And they, they take, you take a big sheet of plastic, maybe you don't want to use plastic
02:00:26.300
And then as it comes down, you fold the bottom, you get as big as you can.
02:00:31.380
And then when condensation forms on it, it all slides down into a funnel and then starts
02:00:37.380
There's a guy, uh, Jonathan Hollerman is a survival consultant and expert, but he was
02:00:41.920
a survival escape resistance evasion training in the air trainer in the air force.
02:00:46.580
And, you know, solar sills are a basic thing you learn there like that to collect water.
02:00:51.140
But fortunately in Nevada, we don't have to do that because we've got five different springs
02:01:01.040
And, um, that is pretty wild too, depending on where you are, you're not gonna have to
02:01:05.580
I mean, we have, uh, uh, if you've got water on your property, you just got to watch out
02:01:09.880
for what's happening upstream because you know, someone could take a dump in your water.
02:01:14.600
You got to be able to boil your water and yet governments are outlawing wood stoves across
02:01:19.880
Again, it's like a conspiracy to kill people by making it so hard to prepare and making it illegal
02:01:30.800
Uh, a, a simple method for, uh, solar distillation using plastic bottles.
02:01:37.900
And what comes out on the other end is absolutely drinkable.
02:01:40.720
So what, what this website has is two bottles that are connected and you put them at an
02:01:47.200
So when the water in the lower side heats up and evaporates and moves to the higher side,
02:01:52.140
it separates the distilled water from the, the, from the junk.
02:01:58.100
The crazy thing is by simply looking at this picture, the average person goes, I never thought
02:02:05.400
And just having seen it for that one second could save their lives.
02:02:10.840
So the rule of three is that human beings will die without water for three days.
02:02:17.540
And therefore, with municipal water systems going out, if you don't have a swimming pool,
02:02:22.500
you don't have a bunch of extra water, you could die.
02:02:28.000
Let's talk just for another second about solar flare.
02:02:30.700
I mean, we're talking about this level four, you know, warning from NOAA today.
02:02:37.960
You know, Lloyd's of London, we talked about this in our movie.
02:02:41.460
They did a study and they talked about the danger of a geomagnetic disturbance.
02:02:53.940
And again, there has not been a level four solar storm in the last warning in the last
02:03:08.080
Some people are saying that Ben from Suspicious Observers, 2 a.m.
02:03:19.320
He's the guy who came up with the 10% estimate that this could take down some of the grid.
02:03:29.760
Oh, the cool thing is, as an aside, you might see the aurora.
02:03:36.800
It's trending right now on Twitter, Northern Lights.
02:03:39.760
Because, yeah, it's going to be like South East Carolina.
02:03:41.460
And by the way, that warning you mentioned, I mean, they put it up on their website.
02:03:46.720
So the government is not going to give you warnings unless you, you know, you've got an app
02:03:53.680
You're not going to get a warning from the government until it's too late.
02:04:00.940
Because he does radio communications experimentation and contracting for the government.
02:04:05.180
You walk inside this thing and your phone just goes...
02:04:07.980
As soon as you walk in, your phone stops working.
02:04:11.120
And I asked him, I was like, so if there's a solar flare, is this thing going to protect
02:04:19.820
And he's like, yeah, but you need like two more Faraday cages inside the Faraday cage
02:04:31.920
And so I'm like, okay, so put a microwave in your Faraday cage, put your phone in the
02:04:36.160
And he was like, yeah, I mean, that might protect it.
02:04:38.340
But, you know, what are you going to do with the phone when the grid's down?
02:04:43.580
I mean, we rely on ham radio in a collapse, but I've been into so many ham radio operators
02:04:50.920
Every single one of them is connected to the antenna all the time.
02:04:58.260
And ham radio operators are not good about keeping the radio disconnected.
02:05:02.700
And ideally, you take one of your radios and it's in a metal garbage can down in the
02:05:11.500
Maybe the shadow campaign of 2024 is a giant solar flare knocks out the grid and then all
02:05:23.460
We wake up one day and turn the news on and they're like, President Kamala Harris is instructing.
02:05:30.060
That's what happened in our Civil War scenario.
02:05:33.100
Not that exactly, but it was Biden, Trump, Biden won narrowly.
02:05:42.140
So they do a unity call and they bring all together the congressmen and senators in the
02:05:46.620
rotunda of the Capitol, a call for unity, bipartisan call for unity.
02:05:53.440
So a female congresswoman during this thing throws a report at Biden.
02:05:58.260
A brief fistfight breaks out among some congressmen and Biden collapses with all this
02:06:03.660
And then a couple of weeks later, you know, it's now December, Biden dies and Harris is
02:06:12.220
Texas does its succession and tons of states are breaking up.
02:06:16.220
California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, where you've got the Democrats control the big cities
02:06:22.120
and they're pushing big government on the rural counties.
02:06:25.100
And the counties say, F this, we're out of here.
02:06:31.500
You know, most counties in the U.S. have said we're not going to obey gun laws that
02:06:38.500
We're no longer going to be part of your state.
02:06:40.640
If there's a law we don't like, we're not going to obey it.
02:06:42.980
And we've got our militia now because we've been through a collapse.
02:06:45.900
We don't need you state if you're going to do stuff like that.
02:06:48.480
I think the crazy thing for people to think about is you go back 100 years, maybe 150
02:06:54.580
years because, you know, radio changed a whole lot.
02:07:01.720
The election happens and you're like, well, we cast our vote.
02:07:05.040
Maybe we'll find out, you know, in June what happened.
02:07:09.000
Because depending on how far you go back, they did the inauguration in March.
02:07:12.240
But so in D.C., they count the electoral votes, they swear on the president, and then maybe
02:07:18.500
a month or two from then, you might figure it out.
02:07:23.020
There was, I think it was the movie called News of the World or something.
02:07:28.700
But it's a guy in the, it's during Reconstruction.
02:07:31.960
He has a bunch of newspapers and he travels to towns reading the newspapers to them so they
02:07:37.320
can learn about what's going on in other places.
02:07:40.900
He's like, come gather tonight at the church and I will read the newspaper to you.
02:07:45.600
And they all come and they, you know, pay a little bit and sit down.
02:07:51.400
And that news is already two weeks old, traveling from New York or whatever.
02:07:55.460
So if the grid goes down and communications drop, yeah, the election might happen in November.
02:08:02.460
Radio's not working, limited communications technology.
02:08:08.300
And you're just like, guess I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing.
02:08:14.800
And they're talking about President Harris enacting a new bill that bans guns.
02:08:27.300
I suppose the bigger challenge with everything is always optimism bias.
02:08:36.040
Normalcy bias being like, oh, that'll never happen because nothing ever happens.
02:08:39.180
And optimism bias is like, oh, bad thing won't happen.
02:08:44.340
And then you're left holding an empty bag or fighting to drink blood in New York.
02:08:54.920
But like, when was that inflection point where leaving New York became the smart thing to do?
02:09:04.520
Well, I mean, isn't that kind of what suburbs were intended for in the first place, right?
02:09:09.180
Get people out of the urban centers where you were producing the industrial or where the
02:09:14.880
the industrial capacity was centered and get them spread out because a nuclear bomb, the
02:09:20.140
thought was a nuclear bomb could take out not only the industrial.
02:09:24.400
The fact that you had cars now and so you didn't have to live in the big city.
02:09:33.820
People that can, people that garden, people that can can their own food and stuff like that.
02:09:37.520
Those kind of things are, are basically they're almost completely lost.
02:09:49.540
Remember that news report said canning is far right?
02:09:53.180
If that's the only, that's not the only thing that makes her far right.
02:10:00.740
There's, the area we're in now, only like 30 minutes drive from where we were before in
02:10:06.800
Maryland, but the plants and animals are totally different.
02:10:11.100
But we took a ton of wineberries and we made a wineberry jam and lemon wineberry jam.
02:10:20.760
We did not really add much sugar or anything like that.
02:10:22.840
We just cooked them down and then put it in a jar, sealed it in a mason jar.
02:10:27.520
And then the next one, you add a little lemon juice.
02:10:30.100
The next one we added like four times lemon juice to actually give it that lemon zing.
02:10:34.220
And then we had wineberry and lemon wineberry jam.
02:10:39.660
We put it in the refrigerator and it's basically good forever.
02:10:41.840
Outside of the refrigerator, it's good for a few months.
02:10:46.260
I think these are the basic things people should pay attention to.
02:10:49.060
But are these the kind of things that are in your app?
02:10:54.740
Well, we're getting, we're getting close to that time.
02:10:56.560
I suppose, is there anything you want to wrap up with or shout out as we start to wind down?
02:11:00.620
Again, the Collapse Survivor app will give you real threat warnings, hours of days before
02:11:05.200
government tells you something like a solar flare is coming that could save your life.
02:11:09.420
And then a lot of great videos, preparedness, education, and then the simulations are really
02:11:14.820
We did one with an asteroid recently, an asteroid strike.
02:11:21.860
So it's just, I had this video game idea 12 years ago and this will be the last thing
02:11:29.500
So there was something in World of Warcraft called the Corrupted Blood Plague Incident.
02:11:34.220
Now I assume you guys are familiar with World of Warcraft, popular online video game.
02:11:38.040
So they released a dungeon, ah, it's been 20 years, but I think the dungeon was called
02:11:42.340
Zol Farrakh was the name of this dungeon where you go in and there's shaman and they curse
02:11:49.060
And they, the programmers gave the snake the ability to infect you with a disease called
02:11:57.420
And if you had this disease, you would walk up to someone and if you were close to them,
02:12:07.260
The intention of this was to make the boss battle difficult so that your guys are all
02:12:11.460
slowly dying and your healers are trying to cure the disease as fast as they can as
02:12:15.560
When they designed this, if you left the dungeon, you would be cured of the disease instantly.
02:12:22.880
They did not make it so that pets, your character could have a demon or an animal with you.
02:12:31.540
So what happens is this, this dungeon gets released for the first time.
02:12:34.880
The higher level players go to fight the boss, contract the disease while they fight him.
02:12:39.420
And then once they're done, they teleport themselves to a major city.
02:12:43.760
Instantly, everyone in the city starts contracting the Corrupted Blood.
02:12:47.420
It starts spreading around and people are dying so quickly that no one can actually heal anyone
02:12:54.620
Lower level players are just dying instantly from the disease.
02:12:57.520
They said that when this happened, all of the major cities of the game where the players
02:13:01.860
congregate to buy and trade had become ridden with all the dead bodies of all the characters.
02:13:07.260
The way the game works, when you die, you get resurrected after 10 seconds, 30 seconds,
02:13:12.200
But you couldn't go in the city without catching the disease and dying.
02:13:16.160
Researchers said that it imitated a real world pandemic so well, they wanted to collect the
02:13:23.780
Some people intentionally infected others, thinking it was funny.
02:13:27.360
Players who had healing characters were desperately trying to cure as many people as possible as
02:13:32.940
they were dying, but they couldn't cure fast enough.
02:13:35.040
And so there's two different factions in the game, the Horde and the Alliance, and all
02:13:38.680
of their major cities were just riddled with a plague.
02:13:41.480
And then the programmers were like, we have to do a reset and fix this, and they got rid
02:13:48.920
But it was one of the coolest things that ever happened in a video game, if you ask me.
02:13:52.340
So I had this idea for a game, which I think would be massively popular.
02:13:57.480
It would be, and it could be built on the Grand Theft Auto engine.
02:14:00.280
Um, that'd probably be the easiest way to do it.
02:14:02.360
The idea for the game is Monday through, maybe, maybe we say Monday through Saturday, you play
02:14:08.260
a character in a G, in a Grand Theft Auto style city.
02:14:11.200
You can do jobs, make money, buy gear, sell gear, build up your character's profile.
02:14:17.000
And then Sunday night, a disaster happens and you never know what the disaster will be.
02:14:23.920
On Tuesday, you're running around, you're cutting trees down, you're getting wood,
02:14:28.120
you're selling it to vendors, you're buying weapons, you're buying food.
02:14:32.060
And then Sunday night, the game, like, you get a notification for those that are signed up,
02:14:39.340
You log into the game, and then at 7 p.m., something happens.
02:14:50.200
Are you someone who secured a base on the top of a building?
02:14:56.100
And then the purpose is, from like 7 to, you know, midnight or wherever,
02:15:00.880
the point of, or maybe like 10, is throughout the week, you're playing this game to build up your character
02:15:05.540
with the apocalyptic scenario happening at the end of the week.
02:15:09.600
And then we just break down how everybody survived what they did.
02:15:13.180
So let's say the programmers will pre-make 13 seasons, like one season of 13 scenarios.
02:15:23.960
And so all of a sudden, at 7, the city you're in, alarms go off.
02:15:30.340
Then you start getting your characters, like you're reading, like the cell phone being like,
02:15:35.060
communist, Chinese soldiers have just docked boats on the shores and are moving in.
02:15:48.060
So you could easily come up with all these scenarios that were akin to like the blood
02:15:52.440
plague incident to see how this massive player base would react to this disaster in efforts
02:15:58.760
And then once it's over, the stats get published saying, here's how many people survived.
02:16:04.900
Here are how many players hid for the whole night and did nothing.
02:16:13.080
And I had a few investors that were interested, but we never really pursued it.
02:16:15.900
But like the Survivor video game, I think they'd be really fun.
02:16:24.880
If you could bring up 24, we did poll data on Civil War because, you know,
02:16:28.260
Civil War is not going to be like an 1865 Civil War.
02:16:32.920
And we asked that in our, we'd asked a poll question in our app.
02:16:37.060
What if, you know, if the election violence escalates, you know, it's a bad outcome from
02:16:41.860
the other side and they, you know, states, Texas succeeds, counties and
02:16:48.140
And we pulled at the beginning of the simulation.
02:16:50.540
Then we pulled at the end to see if anyone changed their mind.
02:16:53.140
But the bottom, the largest answer was, we think players, the majority thought some states
02:16:59.380
like Texas will succeed from the union and there will be a split up, but it's not going
02:17:06.500
It's just going to be, yeah, there's violence on a local level.
02:17:10.620
But the country breaks apart fairly peacefully.
02:17:23.320
No, but I mean, some states have more nukes than others.

And Texas, I mean, Texas has a pretty well organized succession movement.

What does Southern California do when they lose access to the Colorado River?
02:17:39.940
They have to settle it with the other state, with the United States if they succeed.
02:17:44.620
Well, if, if this, so I believe that if we are to see a national divorce and there's a
02:17:49.380
breakup, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, there's going to be a fight over the water sources.
02:17:56.860
And Southern California heavily relies on the Colorado River, which can easily be cut
02:18:02.920
We're going to say, we don't care what you think.
02:18:03.980
I mean, you got the same thing with India and Pakistan.
02:18:05.720
That's another similar issue you got running, you know, controlling the waters coming out
02:18:11.120
So it's something you got to deal with, but it's going to be dealt with peacefully.
02:18:14.420
I don't think you're going to see armies clashing, or at least most of our players.
02:18:17.420
There were people who thought just that 19% of many states may succeed from the union
02:18:23.240
or split up, and there would be fighting between them and the United States.
02:18:30.500
No, I'd just like to say I'd love to recruit grid warriors.
02:18:38.440
We actually have a facility where you can sign a petition, make phone calls, write emails
02:18:51.160
We can protect it against geomagnetic disturbance for about $5 billion and protect our grid.
02:18:57.420
It's ridiculous that we are not better prepared.
02:19:04.540
$5 billion is a really small amount of money you're really considering.
02:19:13.020

And I think it was cool that we got to multi-stream this episode.
02:19:33.380
It's a really, especially with all the news going on, it was a really cool way to kick
