00:00:52.260 It was, what did they call it, when Cat 4, Cat 5, the heat wave?
00:00:56.980 They've got a red flag.
00:00:58.100 Anyway, so, yeah, we're learning how to dig grapes.
00:01:00.400 Why are we doing that in Fort Bragg, North Carolina?
00:01:03.060 You know, soldiers hasn't needed to do this on a large scale since the Korean War.
00:01:07.760 Wait, so we haven't done this training since the Korean War?
00:01:09.900 No, no, we haven't needed to do this.
00:01:11.420 That's a little weird.
00:01:12.840 It's fair to say it's a little weird.
00:01:14.160 That's a Newsweek story.
00:01:15.100 Next one.
00:01:15.860 MAP shows nations urging people to stockpile food as France issues warning.
00:01:21.320 Why is France issuing a warning?
00:01:23.240 Around the world, governments are increasingly advising their citizens to have provisions
00:01:26.880 in case of an emergency such as war, extreme weather, and cybersecurity threats.
00:01:31.860 What?
00:01:32.580 Yes.
00:01:33.460 Having emergency supplies for a three-day period is commonly advised.
00:01:36.940 France and the UK recently advised people to have supplies for a period of 72 hours.
00:01:42.100 I suggest 30 days.
00:01:44.180 If you don't have it right now, I suggest 30 days.
00:01:47.180 Go buy a filter for water.
00:01:48.920 Go buy water for 30 days.
00:01:50.280 Go buy food supply, MRE, whatever, dried food.
00:01:52.900 Have it for – that's my – this is not a sponsor.
00:01:55.300 This is brought to you by XYZ.
00:01:56.780 No, no.
00:01:57.360 Go find it from somewhere for 30 days.
00:01:59.620 Be ready for it.
00:02:00.360 This is not – hence, you know, it's just fear porn.
00:02:02.980 I would say be prepared for it.
00:02:04.860 And then it says, don't wait for emergency.
00:02:06.960 Prepare now a government account for the French region of Normandy said on Tuesday.
00:02:11.540 What?
00:02:12.440 And then British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on BBC Radio, I do like my beans.
00:02:18.020 This guy farts a lot.
00:02:18.780 So I have plenty of those in the cupboard and soup.
00:02:22.080 Canada, Japan, Mexico, and the Netherlands also advise an emergency kit for a 72-hour period,
00:02:25.940 while Sweden and Norway advise one week, and Germany is up to 10 days.
00:02:30.000 Why? Why are they saying that?
00:02:32.080 I'll go to the last one, then, Tom, I'll come to you to see if this is another burger.
00:02:34.940 So U.S. warns allies to prepare for possible Iran strikes.
00:02:39.800 Retaliation after election, AP sources say,
00:02:42.360 U.S. officials have told several Middle East countries and regional allies to be prepared
00:02:46.020 for potential renewed military action against Iran
00:02:48.820 after next week's midterm elections
00:02:50.440 as well as for the possibility that Iran will attempt to retaliate against them
00:02:53.940 according to two diplomats briefed on the matter.
00:02:56.140 By the way, you know the Israel election that was going on
00:02:58.440 with Bibi going up against his opponent? 0.95
00:03:00.380 You know one of the main things was, we're going to attack Iran. 0.90
00:03:02.860 That's how the election is possibly getting the other side 0.56
00:03:05.260 to come and agree with Bibi.
00:03:06.780 There's so many weird things that's going on right now.
00:03:09.040 So, Tom, you want to go first or you want me to go to somebody else first?
00:03:13.040 No, no.
00:03:13.320 So do you think something's really going here, or do you think we should go to Nothing Burger?
00:03:19.960 What do you think is going on here?
00:03:21.080 No, no, there's two sides to it.
00:03:22.260 The first was, you know, you could do stories like this on the U.S. military every week.
00:03:27.380 Every freaking week, you could do stories.
00:03:29.620 Not since Korea War, doing the digging of, you know, that's like regular training. 0.79
00:03:34.060 No, that's new, but my point is every week there'd be something like that.
00:03:38.160 Every week there's something going on in the U.S. military that will spook you
00:03:41.400 that maybe they haven't done since Korea, haven't done since Vietnam.
00:03:44.480 That's number one.
00:03:45.320 But number two, when all of the Western countries are all getting together,
00:03:49.200 they're saying, oh, we're going to do a test of the emergency broadcasting system,
00:03:53.260 and we're all going to do this, then there is something going on.
00:03:56.660 And I think what's going on is they're trying to test the public.
00:04:00.220 The government tests the public, and the dark side tests the public in ways we don't understand.
00:04:05.200 They'll have announcements come out, they'll have this come out,
00:04:07.820 they test the response on social media, they watch.
00:04:10.280 And in many ways, COVID involved a lot of, you know, social behavior testing within COVID.
00:04:18.000 There was a lot of social behavior testing that they were doing where certain states did this, certain states did that.
00:04:23.200 And the states weren't all together. They were watching DeSantis very carefully to see, wow, you know, you enable a conservative populace that happens to be armed.
00:04:31.940 You see this. So this is not a nothing burger on the on the international level.
00:04:36.380 I think they're preparing us for something. Do they suspect that China is going to pop an EMP?
00:04:42.600 Do they suspect that there's actually good that there that first of all, if they felt that that uranium was enriched at 85 percent and they had a plutonium core that could crush it.
00:04:55.460 That's what creates the nuclear explosion. And then they felt they had a rocket that could deliver it.
00:05:00.080 Well, they got the rocket to deliver it. We don't know if they're past 60 percent or not.
00:05:04.480 They could be at 85 percent right now. So you could have the West going like CIA saying, sir, they have what they need to put a low grade nuclear bomb and lob it from Iran to Beirut or Jerusalem.
00:05:19.160 I think that when you have the the knowledge at the CIA level and MI6 about that to happen, they test they test us like this and they put these noise.
00:05:29.220 I don't think it's a nothing burger. I'll take you to something. You should do this anyway.
00:05:34.480 And I'll tell you why. Katrina, did you see what happened in 72 hours in New Orleans after Katrina?
00:05:41.620 72 hours, the churches, the relief stations, they were out of fresh water.
00:05:46.460 They were out of fresh water, and that's when society started to break down after Katrina.
00:05:50.880 They went from shock, and I've been hit by a storm, to a looting, and they weren't looking for TVs because there was nowhere to plug it in because they had no power.
00:05:58.580 They were looking for food. They were foraging, and then in the middle of that, atrocities happened.
00:06:03.600 so you could have an earthquake you could have a katrina you could have a blizzard you could have
00:06:07.780 a lot of things happen you should have in my view a minimum of one week minimum one week of food and
00:06:16.160 water so that you are prepared in the event neither your something like that this i think
00:06:20.900 they're testing us because it's bigger jeff i think it's a little bit bigger than that too
00:06:24.860 uh for a different reason the question i have always asked or at least asked over the last
00:06:28.760 month or so a couple months is why are they waiting till after the election to strike
00:06:32.880 And the immediate answer is, okay, they don't want oil prices to spike up before everybody votes.
00:06:36.980 And that's a legitimate answer.
00:06:38.080 I think it's a little bit more dangerous than that.
00:06:41.020 I think they are responding to a couple of different things, whether it's specific intelligence or not. 0.84
00:06:46.140 But there's also the realization that, as you mentioned, Pat, just a couple minutes ago, Iran's never going to let this go.
00:06:52.700 The Trump administration killed the Ayatollah.
00:06:55.380 Iran's not just going to go, you know what, let's just back away from this conflict and we'll all be friends moving forward.
00:07:00.760 and we'll just forget about it, bygones be bygones. 1.00
00:07:03.180 So Iran is going to remain a threat for a very long time, 0.97
00:07:06.520 and I think there's probably been some reassessment of capabilities.
00:07:09.020 I mean, the story in the U.K., the likely Iranian agents
00:07:13.480 who were caught by the air base there, that we had to move bombers,
00:07:18.300 that wasn't random.
00:07:20.080 So I think what's happening is the Trump administration
00:07:22.400 believes they have to finish the job in Iran,
00:07:25.220 and Iran is not just going to sit there and take it.
00:07:27.680 And so there's probably some intelligence that says
00:07:29.340 we need to continue this war and therefore there's likely to be some retaliation and
00:07:34.080 retaliation is probably not going to be some insignificant you know just a couple gunmen
00:07:38.600 shooting up a marketplace or something yeah and with how things are evolving it's all
00:07:42.000 the infrastructure attacks are a lot more possible nowadays cyber hacking is a lot more possible
00:07:46.920 that's that's so that's the problem like i don't know how asymmetric warfare but it's it's it doesn't
00:07:52.140 feel asymmetric because when you're when you shut your power off it's not asymmetric anymore it
00:07:56.640 completely destabilize it's asymmetric in a military sense but it's not asymmetric yeah the
00:08:00.620 cost is asymmetric the the ability to do it is asymmetric but what do we hear i mean sorry but
00:08:05.840 just recently there was reports about how u.s water systems have been hacked and major infrastructure
00:08:11.040 has been hacked and it's not just the chinese it's not just the russians so no and with ai that's
00:08:15.080 going to change dramatically over the next couple years anyway there's some breakthroughs we could
00:08:18.860 talk about later that are actually worrisome for how we protect every single thing that we use
00:08:24.280 And AI is going to start bypassing those things.
00:08:26.520 I think the world is just shifting.
00:08:28.840 About the 85% enriched uranium.
00:08:30.880 As far as I know, you don't even need 85% enriched uranium for a dirty bomb.
00:08:34.360 You just have to put some nuclear material on it and get the ICBM out.
00:08:38.300 And whatever it hits, it'll cause enough damage.
00:08:40.880 And a small car or a backpack can deliver that.
00:08:44.200 Yeah, so there's just so many potential things that can go through.
00:08:47.480 Go through what could happen.
00:08:49.300 So one is power grid.
00:08:50.840 One is finance.
00:08:52.540 Okay, where it's mayhem.
00:08:54.140 then how long can food supplies stay at Publix, at stores for you to go?
00:08:58.120 Whole Foods, how long?
00:08:59.160 Very short because you have ransacking immediately.
00:09:01.520 That's right.
00:09:01.860 And remember what happened with COVID.
00:09:03.040 Everybody went and toilet paper was gone.
00:09:05.320 So imagine the speed of how quickly that can happen.
00:09:07.820 COVID, we had communication, by the way.
00:09:09.100 Once you break down communication, society breaks down.
00:09:11.220 That's right.
00:09:11.640 So communication goes.
00:09:12.620 So imagine they do phones.
00:09:14.240 So even for some people, you know how they get the phones that's off the grid phones.
00:09:22.220 Well, ham radios.
00:09:23.380 Yeah, so I think, what are some different things that could happen?
00:09:27.140 What are different, like, so one is war, but the retaliation with Iran,
00:09:31.160 they got some smart engineers that know how to hack into systems 0.95
00:09:33.780 and cause a lot of mayhem for a lot of people.
00:09:36.100 And, Pat, they're already here.
00:09:38.240 I forgot who was that lady that spoke, she was ex-CIA or military.
00:09:42.460 She's like, for a fact, Logan or something like that,
00:09:45.280 there's over this many cells of al-Qaeda here, okay?
00:09:50.120 There's over 2 million gotaways, meaning they have no idea who these people are or where they are.
00:09:56.680 I saw people from China, Tom, remember?
00:09:58.800 When there was cameras at the border, people, well-dressed Chinese people just now speaking English, they're here.
00:10:04.280 Middle Eastern guys, the guys are like, one day you're going to know my name. 1.00
00:10:07.200 One day, that's a threat to America. 1.00
00:10:09.120 They're already here.
00:10:09.720 So I think, Pat, the power grid, I think water supply, I think bombing something major, something big.
00:10:17.720 there it's the people already here you guys remember it's not bombing it's really not it's
00:10:22.140 it's again this i think connect this story with the story we talked about uh earlier which was uh
00:10:26.140 you know the u.s uh preparing bases to be self-sufficient for 90 days that's not because
00:10:30.540 the iranians are going to come in with some jets and bomb bomb their base it's they understand the
00:10:34.300 threat is more uh it's what didn't the russians use they were made fun of because they were using
00:10:39.720 actual hard lines for things for many years they didn't shift their technology especially for
00:10:44.200 like really high-stakes stuff, and they're like, listen, when you guys are under attack,
00:10:50.140 we're the ones who are going to be able to continue communicating. That was actually their
00:10:53.160 logic. Sometimes old technology works better than new technology when you're under threat.
00:10:59.180 So, yeah, I think I agree with you. I think it's fundamentally-
00:11:02.500 The threat, I think, is more a hacking event that takes down more than just a single
00:11:06.660 municipality's water system. It gets much, much bigger than that.
00:11:09.480 But water and power is how you disrupt the public.
00:11:12.480 July 26th, 27th, 30 Minnesota water utilities were breached by a controller flaw.
00:11:18.320 It was breached from the outside, and Michigan then reported nine systems were hit.
00:11:23.540 July, August, New Jersey and Alabama water utilities hit through exposed systems.
00:11:28.180 They were forced to go to manual.
00:11:30.560 Also, mixing of purification chemicals with the water went to full manual rather than automatic.
00:11:37.060 That's scary.
00:11:37.420 Many of the United States' water systems are partially reclaimed water or groundwater that needs to be treated and filtered.
00:11:44.200 Then you don't just have a lack of water.
00:11:46.160 You have dangerous water.
00:11:47.400 Yes, and the population might not know if there's no communication.
00:11:49.920 And by the way, check this out.
00:11:51.880 If a water system that uses partially reclaimed water has its purification systems go offline, but there still is power to run pumps, citizens will be receiving bad water.
00:12:03.660 Poisoned water.
00:12:04.260 And dysentery can result.
00:12:06.320 And it says, then October, ABC reported that 12 states were affected.
00:12:11.380 October 22nd, CBS confirms that 12 states were affected.
00:12:15.200 All water systems and the cherry on top, Clayton County Water Authority, Georgia, 300,000 customers,
00:12:23.020 says they lost pressure because external force was shutting their pumps and they turned off their purification system.
00:12:30.460 And by radio, they issued a boil water mandatory advisory.
00:12:34.820 Pat, that's just water I'm reading about.
00:12:37.180 I know.
00:12:37.660 So, Tom, this is the part that, look, this is what I believe in.
00:12:41.380 For us, what we believe in, no matter what takes place,
00:12:45.260 the whole reason why we do this is because we believe the future looks bright.

00:12:57.880 And they mark them up 3, 5, 10, 20 times.
00:13:00.180 Some of them are.
00:13:00.700 But here's the last edition that we'll do of the USA Hats that we have numbered out of 250.
