Bracing for War: Live Interview with Scott Kesterson of BardsFM · Man in America Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. So with the combination of inflation, social instability, a new pandemic, food shortages, fuel shortages, and increasing threats to an already fragile supply chain, The US is headed into a perfect storm as the globalists and the CCP ramp up their tyrannical agendas. The battle ahead will draw upon each and every one of us in ways we've probably never experienced before. And never before have courage, conviction, and faith been more important.
• 0:38
  So who better discuss all this with than Scott Kesterson of Bards FM. Scott will be joining us today to take a deep dive into the battle that lies ahead and what we need to do to win. So buckle up, folks, because it's probably gonna be intense. But before we get started, a few short messages for you. First off, if you're not following me on social media, make sure you are on Telegram and Truth Social where I'm active as Man in America.
• 1:04
  Also, you can listen to Man in America with podcasts. I've got links in the description below the video where you can listen on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, Podbean. So every episode I do also gets put up as a podcast. So if you're a truck driver, thumbs up to you, or you're working around the house, you can listen to Man in America. Today's show is brought to you by Rise TV.
• 1:26
  The subscribers at Rise TV are literally the reason I can do Man in America. With big tech censorship and the monetization, they've made it really tough for people like me with a mission to tell the truth. And that's why we built Rise TV. Because folks right now, we're at war, but it's an information war. And man in America is how I'm fighting.
• 1:43
  So look, we have a massive content library and an amazing community of patriots over there. And today, we're gonna have an exclusive live q and a session with Scott Kastrisson over at Rise TV, where you can get your questions answered. So that's the towards the end of the show. So come try it out. There is a link for a free trial in the description below.
• 2:02
  And folks, as you'll see in today's show, I believe we have some very shaky times ahead of us. Russia, China, India, and dozens of other countries are on the verge of announcing a new global reserve currency. And when they do, the dollar will lose its position as the dominant global currency and head towards collapse. You see, the world is fed up with The US printing money at the thin air and expecting to trade it for things of real value. So Russia has already backed its currency with gold, and many other nations are expected to follow.
• 2:33
  For most of us Americans, the US dollar is all we know, and our wealth is completely tied to it, whether it's through the stock market, our bank accounts, pensions, four zero one k's, etcetera. So if the dollar falls, all these things will fall with it, And I'm not exaggerating here. You could literally see your life savings wiped out overnight. And look, I'm not a financial advisor, so please do your own research. But I believe that now more than ever, it's a good time to consider transferring at least some of your wealth into physical gold and silver.
• 3:03
  Real world assets that have stood the test of time for over five thousand years. And for this, I'm confident recommending Noble Gold. You can buy gold and silver directly, have them ship it to you, or you can do an IRA transfer. So Noble Gold specializes in these IRA transfers, which allow you to transfer your IRA assets into physical gold and silver with zero taxes and penalties. And most importantly, you can trust Noble Gold with your wealth.
• 3:29
  They have an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and hundreds of positive reviews from the folks they've helped. And look, I wanna be really clear. You don't buy gold and silver to get rich. You do it to protect your wealth. But if things get really tough, history has left us many stories of folks scooping up land and other valuable assets for a few gold coins.
• 3:50
  So now's the time, folks. If you wanna learn more about this, open up a new tab right now and go to goldwithseth.com, or just give them a call. Phone number is (877) 646-5347. Speak to someone right now. The folks at Noble Gold will answer all your questions and take good care of you every step of the way.
• 4:10
  Again, that's (877) 646-5347. And look, if you already know someone that sells gold and silver, you're working with them, great, more power to you. Whether you work with Noble Gold or not, please act now before it's too late. So folks, this is an interview I've been waiting a very long time to do. Scott Kesterson is actually, I'd probably say the number one influencer that really helped encourage me to start my own podcast, Man in America.
• 4:39
  This was back in 2020 before the election was here. And just a quick note, if you're watching this show right now on YouTube or Facebook, we're gonna cut the feed, like, really, really soon, because Scott's already been kicked off of YouTube probably 16 different times. And I'm not gonna risk my channel getting kicked off because even his voice, they recognize Scott's voice, and they delete his channel. So this guy should tell you that he's got some things to say that you should be listening to. So if you're watching on YouTube or Facebook, just check the link below your video, and there's a link there's the description, and there's a link to the Rumble video.
• 5:15
  So we're watching it right now over on Rumble, which you should be watching things on Rumble anyway, because they're standing up for free speech and not canceling people like Scott. They're trying to speak the truth. So Scott Kesterson is the founder of Bards FM. He's played a very influential role in really helping guide our nation. And I have to say that I look, I listen to a lot of different people, a lot of podcasts, a lot of shows.
• 5:37
  It's hard to find someone that has the level of discernment and clarity about what's happening right now in the world and in The United States than Scott, let alone someone that actually has the kahonas to talk about it and to put it out there because it's not that comfortable sometimes. So with all that being said, let's go ahead and welcome Scott to our show. So Scott, thank you so much for joining us today.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Well, Seth, very thank you. Very humbling introduction. It's a real honor to be here. It was great to have have you at BarsFest, and it's great to have you here. So great to be here.
• 6:12
  And it was great to have you on the show the other night too, which was awesome.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That was a it was a fantastic interview, and it's amazing to have you back on my show. This is the the first, but I'm as I've said, I'm very excited for this interview, and we're gonna get into a lot of stuff. And as a reminder, if folks, if you have any questions for Scott over on Rise TV at the second, you know, end of the show, we'll be doing a q and a. So, Scott, I wanna start just with a bigger picture question of where you see that we're at right now.
• 6:42
  Right? Yeah. I have a lot of friends that even a lot of conservative friends that they're watching Fox News or watching maybe the more the mainstream media, and they feel like we're coming out of the pandemic. We're starting to get back to normal. It feels like there's a calm now in the country, we're heading towards midterms, it's like we got to take control of the, you know, the government better through midterms.
• 7:01
  They're looking at what's happening financially, they're saying, look, you know, a recession is coming, they're talking about a recession hitting, and you know, food prices are gonna be going up and gas prices are high because of Putin and Biden. But they don't they think that things are gonna be going back to normal for the next couple of years. Where do you see that we're at? Where do you see things going over the next few years?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I think most importantly is really what's gonna be happening in the next six months. I think that in the this will lead to the next few years, but what where we're really at right now is an illusionary point. One of the things people are gonna start experiencing is massive deflation, which is gonna be a really confusing point because it's gonna indicate somehow that the economy is getting better for those who don't understand the economic situation. Obviously, what we're in right now is the death of the dollar spiral. And you mentioned that at the beginning, which was really good.
• 7:54
  Russia's pivot with the ruble to the to a gold standard, which initially was 5,000 ruble to 1 gram was the beginning of the end of the dollar. And they're the only country that could ever do that because they're a nuclear armed country. And then, we've heard the noise and and and rhetoric around how they're we're gonna boycott them and how we're gonna cause economic damage. Of course, all that's completely backfired. The ruble has increased more than a dollar.
• 8:22
  I think it's up 12 or 15% as of now this year. And their oil exports and revenues have increased upwards of like 70%. The focus of all of this literally is going to be the keeping the from the elites point of view, excuse me, is gonna be keeping the people in in an illusion to where the the economy is still working. And and that's a major that's gonna be where a lot of these major problem comes from the American public. Right now, as the dollar spirals downwards, what is happening is we've got current inventories in in in our hard items, clothings, and you're really gonna see with back to school items.
• 9:06
  And these items are all have already been purchased. They've been sitting stagnant on the shelves and they have to move, excuse me, they have to move these inventories in order to get them, to get their lines cleared up. So in order to move them because they're not selling, you're going to see massive deflation and that's gonna run until probably about mid September, But what's not gonna deflate, and this is the confusing part, is fuels are gonna continue to rise and food will continue to rise. Now those are the two real key pivots. When we talk about inflation overall in the nation, we we the economic economists like to talk about CPI, and I'm sure you're that's the consumer price index, which is a very very confusing item because it includes a lot of stuff that none of us really care about.
• 9:54
  But when you get down to true inflation, if we really wanna start there, we're running at approximately 30% to 35% true inflation right now when you take the cost of gas, the cost of food, and the cost of rent. And that's the other big hidden bomb that's about ready to hit is that rent has only increased about point 8% over the last year. However, we're coming out of this pandemic period and after over the rent freezes and the inability to evict people. So you're going to be seeing a a huge jump upwards of 40% per new lease contract that's gonna be driving people out of the market. So we're into a crazy time here with a with a declining dollar, an illusory deflation period, and a true real inflation that's upwards of 30%.
• 10:41
  And then we get to the issues of food and fuel, and these are critical. There's a lot of rhetoric around food shortages. Of course, we've seen over about over 100 food processing plants spontaneously combust, some of which are damaged. It'll take them upwards of a year to repair. Others have already been repaired.
• 10:59
  But the they've established the narrative that there's a food shortage coming, and much of this is because they're gonna be engineering a food crisis. And the objective is to get people off of free I mean, should say, like food raised by farmers and put them into a centralized grid control of the of the kind of that fourth industrial revolution supply chain model where they're going to literally force or they want to force everybody to eat their lab grown meat and their lab grown greens. And that's pretty much the diet they're trying to get people onto, which is a genetically modified diet of lab grown proteins, which includes bug proteins and meat and and greens. And that'll be substantially it. And, of course, the idea here is to drive the economy down to such a level, wear people down to such a level that when they get to these shortages, then they can roll in with the solution.
• 11:53
  Now the back end to this, which is what's really kind of the the hand grenade in the middle of all of this is election twenty twenty and the efforts that are going on right now to reveal the true depth of corruption. We just had 2,000 mules. We have selection code coming up, two significant films. And from a sentiment point of view, it's stunning because 2,000 mules, 70% of the viewing audience or 70% plus of the viewing audience are have now agreed that there is the election was rigged. That's a phenomenal place.
• 12:25
  The selection code, Mubi is gonna add to that, and they're gonna be looking at the kind of the deep rigging of the of the Dominion machines. And there's something more coming, which I've gotten from three different interviews now. One was Greg Phillips, Mike Lindell, and we just had Matt and Joy Thayer on last night. And then tonight, I have Juana Saban on for two nights that are all saying the same thing, that there's they have discovered something even deeper and darker that's about ready to be released. Essentially, what we're going to be seeing is a rise of of awareness in the midst of all this.
• 13:04
  So in the prince of scarcities, inflations of the simple fact that our elections have been rigged for over fifty years. And it's not just rigged at a presidential level. It's like every single election in the country, we have never had an honest election. So this is the perfect storm, literally, to use that metaphor, that we are living we are gonna be clashing with the awakening, the true awakening of the people, of the corruption of the system, confronting the criminal cabal that's running our country, and that peak is gonna probably happen somewhere between October and November. So I'm one of these.
• 13:36
  It's pretty skeptical of whether we'll even see an election this year, but it's this is the beginning of the end of the corporate United States as we've seen it. And, of course, behind all of this is this collapse of the dollar, which is no insignificant issue. The question always is who controls the fall? And that's I think that's the big really at the the base of all of this is, will the people wake up enough step in and say, we've had enough and we're gonna move forward? Or will the lures of promises of a great reset in its various forms sweep people up and say, oh, we can make this better now.
• 14:14
  Follow us, and we'll do the same thing over and over to produce a similar result. So that's that's really gonna be the onus on the people, but it's gonna be a really bumpy ride. And that's just The United States, and and we can get into more of that as we go here.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned who controls the fall, and I think that's a really, really important topic in this whole discussion because, you know, you're one of the people I first heard talk about these multiple factions. And, you know, one perspective that I've shared recently is that, you know, you have what people call the cabal, you know, central bankers, the Vatican, you know, a lot of our own military industrial complex, etcetera. And they've engineered this collapse. You know? And I look at as an engineering collapse of our three major systems, our financial systems, our fuel systems, and our food systems, which is really the core of what makes a country healthy and even, you know, sustainable.
• 15:06
  But that's a very it's a very careful process to engineer it in a way that it collapses in a way that they can gain control and funnel everything into what they need and all the people into their systems. But what we're also seeing right now is Russia, you know, China specifically with the other BRICS nations that seem to be very openly now stepping on the accelerator to destroy the US dollar and to pull the dollar out of its status of the world reserve currency, the petrodollar, which when that happens in countries around the world, are already losing confidence for the dollar, when that then happens, I agree, we're gonna see a death spiral. But the question remains is that it's easy for us to become fearful and look at this system, like, my gosh, they would you know, once you start learning about all this, it's like, well, how will they not be in control of everything? But actually, you know, on your show, you've made this point before where you point out what happened in Canada and how, you know, Canada, though, seems to be as completely compromised under Castro, you know, junior and everything, that when they did a run-in the banks, the banks weren't even nearly close enough to the stage they needed to be at to bring in their digital currency.
• 16:16
  And so I think that we're seeing these indicators that show that, a, there is a war going on between these multiple large factions, but actually, it's them fighting that might really hasten this process of collapse in a way that neither of them have control over it. And our opportunity really lies in our ability to sustain and survive and to fortify ourselves amidst that collapse so that we can reemerge on the other side. What are your thoughts about that?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I I think that's very accurate. I think the Canadian example is an excellent one because what we discovered, like you said, was they did the run on the banks. And then in the process of doing the run on the banks, suddenly the banks present this white paper after it's all over where it's like, oh, we're just now assessing the the CBDC, their version of the CBDC. We've seen the same thing happen here. The CBDC is not ready quite to roll out.
• 17:07
  It's close. It it looks like it's gonna be somewhere they're gonna wanna roll it out somewhere around February. But the real indicator that they weren't ready is the fact that the master QR code had not been developed yet. And that was contracted during the the Canadian crisis of the run on banks. The WEF contracted with Deutsche Telekom to produce the new universal QR code, which is all tied to the COVID pass, which is nothing more than just a digital IP
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: by the end system. Exactly. For the audience too is that CBDC is central bank digital currency, which seems to be the central system, the financial system that they want to bring in post collapse.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And that's an excellent point. I mean, and we these are acronyms that people should get accustomed to. I'm glad you highlighted it. The CBDC should really become common central bank digital currency should become common knowledge now in in in our vernacular because it's what they're trying to push everybody to. This is the Fed's reset that in principle, what distinguishes the central bank digital currency from a blockchain currency is it is not a blockchain currency.
• 18:11
  It is a programmable currency, which is extremely important. You know, I'm sure you probably covered this on your show, but for to understand the fundamentals of that in a very simple sense, blockchain keeps anonymity. When you program, we have a programmable currency. They can now decide specifically what you can spend or not spend your money on. So from one day to the next, they decide that you're eating too much protein.
• 18:35
  They're gonna tell you that, I'm sorry, we're we don't want you eating any more beef. The only proteins you can acquire are gonna be cricket bodies in bread, which is, you know, and you're gonna have to just buy that and that's all you can buy and eat. And of course, and it's all tied to your social credit score, which is, you know, the way you perform and comply to the system. So that's where the CBDC comes in.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Right. I think that you and I would both starve to death in that system.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Definitely. And then there's no way there's no question I'd have to go hunting because there's just no way. But, yeah, this is a really what we lie what lies ahead here is a lot of unknown. And this is where I I as you know, I talk a lot about on the show. Unknowns are very difficult in in a time like this.
• 19:17
  This is a very unusual war in the sense of how we understand wars. And yet it's it was always going to be this way. I when I worked in special operations and I worked with at Fort Meade and my info my focus was information warfare. I talked in 2012, '20 '13. I was briefing the fact that we were at a point where the information war was coming, and not only was it coming, it was coming through corporate entities using legal avenues of advertising and influence as their predominant base.
• 19:51
  So they weren't in violation of using SIOP on the public, even though Obama approved that to be used. And the worst part about it is that it was not gonna be understood by the public and the consequences of an information war are on the end more damaging than a physical war because it gets deep within your head and it keeps you always at odds with each other and it inverts truth. And that's the big one is it pluralizes the principles of truth to such a degree that you don't know who you can trust. When you kind of step back from that, then you're gonna have you have to reset to understand that a lot of what we're faced with here is a constant and fluid deception operation. And that's where so much on the show I talk about on my own show where the two pillars we need are faith and knowledge.
• 20:37
  Faith is really your grounding point. It's what always gives you that anchor back to God in a deeper wisdom. And then the knowledge is what we could continue to glean and accumulate. So with that, when we look at this dynamic field, we really can't control anything strategic. That's and as you pointed out, much of this is engineered and even worse than that, not only is it engineered, but the elites are fighting each other.
• 21:01
  And we can dig into that more as you as you would like, but I mean, that's we've talked about this before on when we talked about this last week, you know, we have a fight going on between the CCP and the deep state. We have a fight going on between the deep state and itself. There's a there's a warring factions within there. Everybody's vying for the prize. And what's the prize?
• 21:19
  We are the prize. So it's even cautious to side with if you are inclined to say side with Putin or fall into this kind of idea that somehow Trump, Putin, and Xi are working together. I have no doubt that there's some there's back end stuff going on. I have no doubt that there's a military wing in this that's trying to do its best to get rid of the military cabal. But we always have to keep in mind that at the end of the day, power is narcotic, and people are looking to rule the people to guide them.
• 21:49
  There's not a lot of benevolence in our current leadership that may ruffle some people's feathers, and I'm sorry if it does, but I I don't. Well, my principal issue is I don't put faith in any one man or any one man's institutions. So a lot of that puts it the onus on us. And that means that in order to weather this storm, you've gotta take certain pretty heavy precautions or you're you're investing to put in a simpler way into keeping your household stable as we move forward to avoid the entire implosion that is it's destined to happen. I think this is the part that we miss.
• 22:25
  It's easy to talk about the storm. It's easy to talk about getting rid of the cabal, but you aren't gonna have a storm and you're not gonna get rid of the cabal unless you destroy the dollar. It's fundamentally that simple because the dollar weaves world together. Right? So if you take away the dollar, it sounds easy in principle, but it is what wipes everything out.
• 22:44
  It's the babble it's the keys to Babylon. The the dollar weaves the world's economy. And with that, there's you're already seeing it. So in Malaysia right now, they're saying the economy is now defunct. It's it's bankrupt.
• 22:58
  They can no longer buy fuel to run their economy. So the question is why? Why did that happen so quickly? Well, it's principally has to do with the relationship their economy has to the petrodollar. And that has and the petrodollar is falling out of place.
• 23:12
  Their debts, have been passed on to them through central banking are in in just simple terms, are are exceeding their cash flows. And with the dollar that's spiraling out of control, we are not visibly seeing, but we it is happening everywhere in the principles of hyperinflation on the dollar. So I'm gonna go back to where we started this very quickly, this idea of deflation that's coming because that's the stocks of things that are sitting on the shelves and warehouses that they have to move, but the replacement inventories of those is higher cost. So I just recently had a fence done in my backyard. From one year to the next, the fence cost doubled.
• 23:52
  What's the change? The change is that the the the equipment or the material costs have gone up astronomically. And it's that they they're not in inventory. This is the key part. These are not items that are off the shelf.
• 24:07
  They have to order them in from the manufacturer. So each time they order in new materials, it's at the new pivot price of what the dollar's buying power is. And so we're seeing this massive decline of the dollar at a very rapid rate, and this is going to cause some massive up people in the in the economy. And ultimately, as this happens, the supply chains are going to fracture. I just wanted to add one more thing on this is we're gonna close this particular thought.
• 24:33
  The one thing that you're not hearing in the reporting and because of the way the media likes to fan its propaganda, you're hearing about us sanctioning Russia. And you're hearing at the same time, we're hearing Biden begging for Saudi Arabia to give us oil. And at the same time, we're hearing we're seeing the secretary of Austin over their meeting with the third tier down person in the mill in their dis defense in China, trying to bargain with some sort of peace or whatever he's doing. But here's the real of this. China is retracting its economy from us.
• 25:09
  Russia has willfully retracted its economy from us and others are boycotting us. So it's not just that the dollar is spiraling, which it is, but people no longer are wanting to trade with us because of this simple fact. And this is the hardest one I think most Americans are gonna have to face. We've never been the great purveyors of liberty. In our lifetime, our government hijacked our country to be the great purveyors of fascism across the world.
• 25:37
  And that's the brutal truth that ultimately we are Germany now of of nineteen forty ish, and we're gonna have to endure the collapse of this government for the people to reclaim its control, in my opinion.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I I agree with you completely. And, you know, it it's interesting because some folks think that Putin or the CCP are are white hats. Right? They're fighting the deep state, which means they're coming to save us, but no one's fighting for the American way of life. You know, maybe, you know, Trump in some parts of the military were were a part of that, you know, to stand up for us.
• 26:13
  But look, you know, no one cares if we lose our blue jeans or our Coca Cola. Like, they're fighting for their own sovereignty against what you've mentioned. Like, our government, the the US government, which has become the imperialist United States, you know, being, you know, being used by its own self and by the central bankers and whatnot as the the arm to conquer the world and and kind of lead towards that centralized government. So they're not they're not fighting to free us. And in fact, we're just gonna be collateral damage in that fight.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's an interesting point. I'm gonna add to that a little bit because even if they were in that, I believe there's a faction that's working very hard to preserve the constitution. But and I and I'll use the cue framing, and I'm not specific wordings, but if you kinda use that cue framing of, you you know, we're all in this together and we're, you know, we're gonna we're gonna bring pain and we're gonna deliver justice. I think that's actually there is an element working very hard to ensure that that happens. This is where we have to get real.
• 27:14
  Bringing someone like Schumer or bringing Schiff or bringing Pelosi or bringing Obama into having some sort of accountability for actions that they have done does not change the CEO of Pfizer. And it doesn't change the the the on the ground effect of your local school board. And so these are corporate entities. Now perhaps there'll there will be justice brought to someone like Borla, you know, are my favorite Nazi of this whole thing that is literally, you know, responsible for poisoning millions. But at the same time, even if that happens, it's not gonna change the medical doctor in your hospital, and it's not gonna change the kindergarten teacher who's grooming your kids.
• 28:00
  You see, this fight is so it's such a deep and darkly infected system now that if the people don't stand up and take responsibility, even in the best of scenarios where the queue operation works perfectly as it was laid out in queue. Okay? You're not winning the fight yet. You haven't even come close because all you've done is taken away strategic nodes and you haven't taken away the the feeder program, if you will. So here's something that comes to that most people don't I don't know that most people understand this history, but one of the things general McChrystal did very well was net what was called network warfare.
• 28:37
  This was early on, and he used he developed a very sophisticated method to target, kill, capture all the leaders of these of these networks of Al Qaeda. But what resulted for this was of unexpected consequence. Essentially, happened is he created a promotion program within Al Qaeda because every single time somebody got shwacked, someone else stepped into the reins and got to have leadership. Well, over time, even though operation was diminished, it wasn't neutralized because over time, too many people were involved in looking forward to somebody above them getting hit. So they started to build cadre below them that could fill the ranks as soon as somebody got schwacked.
• 29:21
  So that led to kind of this counterinsurgency model, which is the idea of coin, which in to engage the past population and to win hearts and minds on a broad scale to give people the power to take back their nation. Well, welcome to coin counterinsurgency two point o because we're not going to be able to rely on one agency, one group, whatever they are to solve this problem. This problem is rooted deeply at people's level. And that means people have to start taking accountability for their lives, which is a completely different way of living than what we've accomplished so far. So far, we become dependence on a system.
• 30:00
  Corporate convenience has been offered to us in exchange for our freedom. And in fact, our enslavement has been one of the most sophisticated enslavements ever developed because we are willfully participating in our own in our own chains and shackles. So we have to build a mindset now of pivoting from that. And when I say often on the show, we have to go back to go forward because in going back, we have to start reclaiming some of these old ways of doing things and not be so quick to race into a future and say, well, technology's coming. It'll fix it all.
• 30:32
  That's the trap of all because convenience that which has been sold to us has ultimately been the enslavement of humanity. Gotta get our hands dirty, and we've gotta start getting back to taking care of our own lives, taking responsibility and accountability for our lives, building skills that maybe we didn't have before and becoming very fluid and adaptable in an environment in order to survive this. Because at the end of the day, this primary fight in the at least in the front of us is the war between elites. And as I think if we step back and look at this as they do their warring, then there'll be an opportunity for us to step into the void and say, okay, we're done. We, the people are done.
• 31:12
  I hope the lesson that we've all learned in this period of time is how we really haven't needed much government over the last eighteen months to two years. That's the one of the most profound things. If you look around, it's like, we really haven't needed them. In fact, they become an irrelevant class, which says a lot for the strength and goodwill of people overall.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: No. Absolutely. You know, I was talking to someone recently, and, you know, they they said, well, I think that we're gonna have some tough times ahead, but, you know, I think, you know, God has this is their words. You know, God has our nation under his wing, right, to protect us. And I said, I agree with that to a certain extent.
• 31:49
  I think that, you know, God has the American people that deserve his grace under his wing. Said, but if you look at America as a whole and what makes up our country, our media is corrupted, our education system is corrupted, our juda you know, our governance is corrupted, our financial system is corrupted, Our even our farming industry is corrupted by the likes of Monsanto, Bayer, you know, massive, you know, terrible chemical monocrop agriculture. So it's like everything is corrupted. And so just like, you know, during the time of Noah, you know, there had to be a flood to wipe out all of the corruption. And so if you look at how deep that corruption is within our country, and you believe that God will protect us, well, don't you want God to root out that evil?
• 32:35
  It's like, well, those systems in many ways all have to collapse. And this is what a lot, you know, what you're talking about right now is this convenience. You know, these systems have given us convenience in exchange for morality, in exchange for us, you know, losing our ability to live off the land. And it's an interesting process because, know, as you know, I've talked a lot off the show, and as I talked on the show, you know, my wife and I, we do a lot of gardening. I can tell you that the work involved with taking a tomato plant, for instance, and, you know, starting your seed inside and getting the lighting correct and the soil right, growing it, you know, so it's this big as a start and then putting it outside and taking care of it and staking it, all the work to get to a point where this tomato plant gives you say 20 tomatoes, you it's easy for a lot of people to look at that and say, well, let's go to the store and I'll buy 20 tomatoes.
• 33:23
  It's way easier. But what happens when that store is not there for you? You know, and that's this is the this is the really critical point. I'd love to hear you talk more about this, because this has become, I would say, one of the cornerstones of BARDS FM is, you know, building what you say is the BARDS nation, and really encouraging people to take their own, just their lives back in control. And I want to pull up a quote really quick.
• 33:50
  This is a quote from Henry Kissinger, who says here, who controls the food supply controls the people. Who controls the energy can control whole continents, who controls money, can control the world. Now, if you look at that quote, they're laying it out. Those are the systems that they have to control. But to counteract that, us being able to take control of those systems on our own and not rely on the big government for money, food, and energy, meaning that we find, you know, new ways of collecting, say, water, for instance, through rainwater.
• 34:25
  We find new ways to grow our own food, to trade with and barter with our neighbors, to find new ways of actually holding our own wealth, whether it's through gold and silver, or through skills that you can produce items you can barter and trade for. And I think that's what we're entering into. So I'd love to hear your thoughts about that.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure. Absolutely. I mean, at the end is it is a cornerstone of pretty much everything I talk about now. And it's it's a hybrid, I would say, an appropriate hybrid of what we would call traditional prepping. Because prepping in itself is just the idea of kind of storing away food and ammo and your basic supplies that you're gonna need as if you're gonna weather a storm without and the whole thing is gonna go to a doomsday scenario.
• 35:05
  That's not the way we're gonna win this thing. We have to win this thing through building capacity to sustain ourselves and perpetuate that sustainment and at the same time grow community. So it's effectively, it's like sowing seeds. Right? So and I know you're you told your story the other day on the show, which was great and it was really inspiring to people and I really appreciate that.
• 35:24
  And so I've focused a lot on my effort on what I call urban homesteading, primarily because it's not that the rural model is I think the rural model is great when you can have more than an acre or two out here. And usually the kind of the way I break it up is you've got the farm model, which is roughly 10 acres and above. You have the kind of small homestead, which is basically an acre to 10 acres roughly. And then you have the urban homestead. Most people live in an urban environment.
• 35:59
  And so we have to start looking at it from the smallest denominator, which is literally like, okay, so from an apartment on up to somebody that has say like myself in this property, a quarter of an acre, because we have another property we're developing, but this is a quarter of an acre model here. So what does it take to do that? And what it takes is a complete retooling of your life because you have to start looking at taking an urban model that has been, you know, the aesthetic of Elan and everything is there for whatever we're doing, the barbecue pit and these sorts of things that are all there for fun, but they're nothing is there functionally. You have to turn that into where every square foot becomes a productive acre. And we have to get back to this type of living that was very common when in my dad's era, for example, which was 1940s, 1950s, in 1930s, 1940s in particular, where every household had chickens, every household had a pig, every household or a cow, and it was common.
• 37:00
  So we have to start moving backwards. And the whole principle of this is that we have become dependent on a corporate model where we go to the feeding trough and they give us feed in exchange for the labor and the translation of labor, which is dollars we give back. God didn't design us that way and didn't design this world that way because God gave us the wealth and seeds, which we can grow, we can save, and we can grow again. And we can trade and we can expand, and we have that as a fundamental basis of economy right within who we are. So we in this model that I've worked a lot with on Embard's Nation is is the model of the seven pillars, which we call county by county.
• 37:39
  First so the first pillar is putting God back in the home. Our God becomes the centerpiece of our faith, of everything, and and and we've seen the corruption of the churches in this last couple of years, horrifically, the sellout to the five zero one c three model and other things, and it's a very apathetic faith. Christianity is not an apathetic faith. It's a very forward leaning faith. It's very courageous faith.
• 38:02
  It's a very martial faith in the sense that it has a very strong red line it will not cross. It has an unbelievable level of temperance, which most faiths and religions don't have. But we have a very proud basis of walking with God in that trust, but also understanding that ultimately, there's a time when we need to have both the sword of the spirit and the sword of steel. That's a whole summation of the point of faith back in the home. And so then we the next part of this pillar is homeschooling, which is if you have children, you get children out of the indoctrination camps.
• 38:38
  If you don't have children or have are or have older children, then the idea is to work with others to help them do the same. So again, everything is centered around community building. Third pillar is Patriot Gardens, which is right at the core of self sufficiency. So we have our spiritual garden and our spiritual nurturing going on and set, and then we have to take care of our physical nurturing, which is our garden or Patriot Gardens. Patriot Gardens stem from the Victory Gardens, which started in World War I and then later went on to World War II.
• 39:08
  The most amazing thing is that by the end of World War II, when the national call was made to do to people to grow their own food as we were shipping massive tons of food overseas, the community, the backyard garden was producing more food than the commercial agriculture in this nation. It's a profound realization. It's also a different time. Now we're we don't have a single politician influencer of a senior level calling for people to grow their own food, which is stunning to me. I'm still trying to rationalize and obviously we there's people that we should be hearing this from that aren't saying a word.
• 39:45
  So I'm constantly wrestling with this thing. Okay. Am I missing something? Is there some sort of, deception going on? But every single place we look at, farmers right now are being told not to plant.
• 39:57
  They're being encouraged not to plant. We have water shortages. We have of course, we know that weather warfare is purely a conspiratorial theory, and so we would never want to promote such a concept, but we have strange weather anomalies happening and massive droughts and all of this happening. And we have a lot of of non truth around the subject, but no one is saying a simple thing, grow food in your garden. You are.
• 40:20
  I am. And we have to say this because this is your sustenance. This is your your food assurance. You can stock up food for seven, ten years if you want, but at the end of the day, you're gonna have to be able to still take care of yourself. And part of having a garden isn't just yourself, but it's also being able to have sustenance to share with others.
• 40:40
  Everything around the principles that we need to be making right now is taking care of ourselves, but having enough to share with others. And when we take that approach, then we start to have the capacity to build networks of friendly tribes. And and if you wanna look at it like this. This is gonna be extremely critical because when you start to look at the collapse of the dollar, once that starts to bottom out, the normal things that you're accustomed to will start to evaporate. This is kind of the doomsday model, but it's not gonna happen in my opinion all of a sudden, even though it's beginning to happen now.
• 41:15
  But when you start to look for your sheriff or your police officer to solve the problem and they aren't getting a paycheck, there's only so long they're going to go before they say, you know what? I need to pull back and take care of my family. So there is a necessity for the communities to start building that connection again, the responsibility. Right now, we're heavily divided. We have the vaxxed, unvaxxed, we have LGBT, we have LGBT, non LGBT, we have I'm abortionist, I'm a pro anti abortionist.
• 41:44
  I mean, it's nuts. And really when we get back to that center point of God, most of that falls out, and we start to really seek that. And in fact, we're starting to see it's a beautiful thing because we're seeing that migration and tolerance for one another really start to move. And we're realizing that there is a very well organized, very hostile force that is intentionally working across our communities in this nation to keep us divided. So we go back to the principles of growing food and it's absolutely essential that we grow as much food as we can.
• 42:17
  And it's it is getting accustomed to it because you can stock all the seeds you want, but unless you're literally sowing seeds, you don't understand the process. You're not developing the skills and it takes time. Everyone will have usually a successful first year garden. It's in the second, the third, the fourth year when you start to run into problems. I was just talking to the resistance chicks the other day and we were sharing an we each had a different anomaly of a problem.
• 42:43
  They've been doing this for fifteen years plus, and I've been doing this about the same length of time. There was a particular wilt of leaf that we're trying to I was trying to help them identify. They were trying to do the same. It just happens. I mean, things like this happen and it takes a wealth of knowledge and experience to be able to prepare for it.
• 43:01
  But what we gain out of this is an enormous amount of personal freedom and sovereignty because we start to break away and you're not gonna break away a % right out of the gate. So this shouldn't if for people that feel like you're behind the curve, don't. There is never a wrong time to start, and there is never a time that you're complete. Those are two critical issues to understand. So you could be doing this for twenty years and you still have twenty more years worth of work.
• 43:27
  You could be starting today and say, I've got twenty years ahead of me. And it's like, yep, you do. And guess what? When you get to twenty years, there's another twenty years to do it. So there's never a wrong time.
• 43:36
  And that and that's principally it. Right?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Well, there's a saying, I forget who it was, whether it was Confucius or Lao Tzu or Buddha, one of the one of the the Chinese, you know, kind of sages that had said that the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is right now. And that's it was such a such a good I love that. And that's that's where I think that we're at right now.
• 44:01
  And it's, you know, one thing that I keep trying to impress and remind people of is that what you and I are talking about, though we want it to become as mainstream as possible, you know, if if we were back into 40s, we could bring that attitude here, and we had a government that actually wanted to teach our kids how to go home and garden like what they're doing in the 40s, instead of how to go home and you know, tell your convince your parents that you're actually not a boy or whatever it is our government's doing now. Exactly. We'd be in such a different place, but we still because this isn't mainstream, we still have an opportunity. And that's key is for all the listeners, as much as you feel like, you know, you're behind, because even I feel like we've been my wife and I been doing this pretty intensely for the past couple of years, I still feel I'm so far behind. I'm so far behind, but the reality is is that we are actually all so far ahead.
• 44:56
  You can still walk into Costco today and buy 20 pound bags of rice for $12, you know, or buy flour or whatever. So because right now, we have the opportunity, but once this does become mainstream, which it will, there will be a tipping point. And like I've heard a lot of people say is that it happens, whether talking about the economy or any of the social trends, it happens very slowly and then all at once. And if you remember the toilet paper shortages that happened, well, because mainstream media were talking about them. And so right now, we do I believe that the people that have found this information, you know, it's a blessing, because we have the time now to do these things and to repair for the future.
• 45:36
  But there will be a time this is why I keep telling people, it's like, you don't see it. And it's like, don't wait until all the shelves are empty. Because when that day hits, you will have lost your window. But whether it's, you know, buying gold and silver even, like I heard a figure the other day that I think it's less than, it's less than 1% of the households in America that actually hold physical gold and silver. Whereas I think it was in the 90s, it was around 8%.
• 46:02
  So there's that many people that are now saying, you know, I'm gonna put my money into crypto. Well, that was a great decision. You know?
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I share this. I've taken this I've taken the heat like you have, and I'm like, this is dumb. And people are just like, you have no idea what you're talking about. Let me jump on something here real quick. Please do.
• 46:16
  Because it's it's something that you said there and and it's I I just kinda wanna frame it. First of all, in the process of this, this isn't about predicting a future. We are looking at trends, and we're we're we're talking about mitigating risk, which I think is a really important perspective to have. And I say this because we could be wrong. Okay.
• 46:37
  There's there's always this outlier that somehow, I don't know, maybe they've maybe they've stocked up enough food and their deep underground bases is suddenly out of nowhere, trucks are gonna start flying and air drops will
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: start happening. Sahara Jasara. Right?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, yeah, exactly. So, you know, who knows? But let's just look at some simple logistic facts. Trucking lines are diminishing.
• 46:58
  They're decreasing in size or not increasing. We have a fuel shortage, which is real. That's not in manufacture. And and maybe that's a war between petroleum and the green deal folks. It's very likely that's where a lot of that's stemming from.
• 47:12
  But even if they start up petroleum today and start ramping up production, you're not going to see that result for ninety days. Okay? If that ninety day ripple then hits the next ninety day ripple and the next ninety day ripple. So we have farmers that are not planting their normal crops right now. That's not simply one season.
• 47:33
  The minute you put a field in the fallow at those levels, you're talking two years before they can return production, if that. And of course, the models that they're working off of are these highly intensely petrochemical models, which have just destroyed our soil. So this is one of these amazing anomalies that happens if we would listen to each other better. We are talking something that sounds very much like environmentalism because we're talking very much about preserving and and stewarding the earth, not wasting it away for production. The only way that you can meet the food needs of a nation at the level that we're talking about and create a bread basket for the world is if people stop putting all their convenience on the store and start taking off some of the burden on their own.
• 48:20
  When you do that, that means that production on a larger schedule scale can start returning to sustainable methods rather than just raw production methods. This is part of this great awakening that is no way you can cut it. It comes back to personal accountability and responsibility. We are into a crisis right now that we're looking at the illusions of of what I will call the illusions of the of the moment, which is the political class all running back and forth. We're talking about the vote.
• 48:52
  Right now, if you vote for 2022, I don't care who you vote for. It's gonna end up being the same mess at the end. Nothing's fixed. We're trying to race ahead. We're talking about a red wave when the vote system isn't gonna do anything different than it did before.
• 49:04
  And that includes lobbyist influences. That includes corporate influences. But here's the real of it all. There is a global food crisis happening at a scale we have never imagined. And whether that's engineered by the elites or not is irrelevant.
• 49:20
  We, the people, are facing the crisis. They can have all the food they want. We need more food. So we can solve that one of two ways. We can turn to the governments and say, fix it for us.
• 49:32
  And we know where that will end up because someone's gonna have to make their own skims and someone else has to make their own skims and someone else is gonna have to leverage their deal to get some pork barrel project in their backyard. It's all corrupt. Or we, the people can say government's defunct. We need to start working ways, finding ways to work together. It's not idealistic.
• 49:53
  It's survival is what we're talking about now because humanity's at risk and it's being put at risk by an elite class of people that are consumed with their technological gadgets and their power plays and their money. And we have to rise above that. And so when we start talking about food, I come back to that. So let's say the economy doesn't spiral down as much as it did. What's the loss?
• 50:17
  The the answer is zero. In fact, it's 100% gain no matter how you move this because the gain is one you've gained, you've reclaimed your personal sovereignty to a certain degree in independence, which once you touch it, you never wanna get rid of it. The second part is we've we've gleaned an excess of food in the system, which means we can start sharing in our community. If you have preps, you've prepped for a year of basic grains and supplies, and all of a sudden, it's like, we don't need it anymore. Well, guess what?
• 50:47
  We have a massive homeless that needs something and we've gotta start take caring taking care of that problem. So if you wanna look at the real, guess what? That's it. That's how we start to turn the gifts of God into the gifts of plenty for others by doing a proper set of stowing away in the silos, so to speak, like Joseph, to literally start looking at how we are gonna help one another and take away this expectation where our hands go out and say, okay, FEMA, where's mine? That's not gonna happen.
• 51:17
  And that's avoiding that crisis is on us to make that choice to do. If you're in the city areas where it's highly condensed, I'm gonna tell you, you're gonna feel it and you're gonna feel it faster than anybody. I'll just give you a simple example. I was gonna close this thought out. Where I lived in Portland, Oregon, I was up on Southwest Hills.
• 51:37
  I had a condo when I was up there. I lived there. I had my office there until 2012 or I guess 2015. Okay. So I would walk two miles down to my office, which right now is down in Antifa Central down by the train station.
• 51:53
  Beautiful walk at that time. Now it's literally, it's more dangerous than I would wanna make. Okay. Along the way from in that two mile stretch, if you took the app from Starbucks and you lit it up and you said, I wanna find a Starbucks. Within the map of Starbucks of Downtown Portland, there were 22 Starbucks available for you to get your coffee.
• 52:15
  There is one grocery store, which was a Safeway, a second grocery store, which was Whole Foods, neither of which can sustain the area. They're just used basically to get the nightly meal. And the only two Costcos of bulk buying, one is twenty minutes south and one is twenty minutes east. Now the concentration of food suppliers is minimal. And if you and hardly anybody grows food there and there's the occasional farmer's market.
• 52:47
  So it's enough for a day to day consumption. But when you start talking about stresses on an environment where those start to dry up very quickly, you are literally nine meals to anarchy, quite frankly. And that's where you are. When we take my town where I'm at now, which is ironic because Portland's a population of inner of the inner city, That area there that population there is probably close to a hundred thousand people. Okay?
• 53:11
  Roughly. When we take where I'm at now in a town of 22,000, the per capita relationship to stores is phenomenal. Literally, we have like 10 stores within the same square mile space, right? Of grocery stores. Yet this is a community where many people prep, people grow food, people have farms and raise animals and livestock.
• 53:34
  My neighbor across the street has chickens and has a full farm or full backyard garden like we do. And this is an urban environment. So what in community would I prefer to be in where I'm at? Obviously, because we can we can stand the shock and there's residual. And if we need be as a community, we will come together, which we were already tested because two years ago, if you remember in the '20 I'm gonna say 2020 or before the 2022 or even maybe 2018, we had all these fires on the West Coast, mass amount of fires.
• 54:04
  It was 2018. In my in my county, there was huge fires that spontaneously erupted with the help of Antifa, but we had a lot of people displaced. And this is what was interesting to kind of see a stressor test. The county mobilized, they set up shelters at the fairgrounds and the community came in with a massive outpouring of stuff so much so they had to start turning people away. So the county is county is already has a mindset.
• 54:34
  It can get better, but it already has a mindset. And that mindset we need to have in every single community because it gives us resilience and it really returns us back to the principles of being who we are as Americans, which is we have always been an amazing giving people. But now take that model on a global level. What just happened in Morocco was stunning. There was a Moroccan special forces unit, special operations unit of some fashion that was deployed to the border because of violent migrants coming up, most of which looked like they were starving.
• 55:05
  They ended up having a war on the border. And I'm literally, I mean, bodies are stacked up everywhere. Okay? If you don't think this is gonna happen, you're wrong because the idea of this squeezing is to start causing such stressors within the internal of the economy of a nation that now not it's happening in other places. And then the immigration begins and it causes a complete chaos, which this is the Hegelian model, create the problem, now offer the solution.
• 55:34
  Right? And this is exactly what they're trying to do. And one of the most patriotic things a person can do right now is grow food. Literally get yourself as self sufficient as possible.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting is if we look at where we're at historically, and it's like, okay. You know, is this we're entering into recession or whatever. It's like, actually, it's I think we're much closer to where Rome was at as it was falling. And if you look back and study what caused Rome to fall? I feel like that was the playbook that they used on America.
• 56:07
  It was, you know, handing out citizenship left and right. It was flooding in immigrants, you know, for free, you know, bringing them over the border, destroying the borders in general, a big part of it was, you know, taking their their currency off of the gold and silver standards. Their coins have no gold and silver in them anymore. And it was bread and circuses. It was distractions until it was too late.
• 56:28
  It was corruption at the highest levels until it was too late. And I think that you have to be able to understand that this is closer to where we are than say, you know, the gas crisis of the 70s. Yeah. I remember it was the gas lines at the gas station or, you know, the .com crash and like, oh, we've been through that. And that's the hard part for a lot of people to really grasp with where we're at in history and the importance of doing what you're talking about is that, you know, even during the Great Depression, even during World War One, World War Two, as you talked about, the government was trying to help the people.
• 56:59
  The government was trying to teach the people the core skills they needed, even giving out pamphlets on canning, right? Because you can grow all the food in the world, but if you don't know how to can it, and preserve it to last you through the winter until your crop comes up in the next spring summer, you know, you're you're kind of up a pad up the creek without a paddle. And so this is a very different stage that we're at in history. So Scott, it's it's getting close to 03:00. We're gonna shortly go over to Rise TV for the q and a session.
• 57:30
  But before we do that, I wanna just ask you to or to tell people where people can follow you. And I will certainly share your show on my social media platforms that where can people listen to you? How can people get involved with what you're doing? How can folks support what you're doing?
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: So the podcast livestreams off of Podbean, and then three times a day, Monday through Friday, once on Saturday, and once on Sunday. And you can find that in bards.fm on Podbean. You can also go to the website, bardsfm.com and the and the podcast players there in the last, I don't know, 600 episodes or something are up there. There's 1,500, so you'll be spending some time. We're also on we're on Rumble.
• 58:12
  I'm on Bitchute and Gab TV, and then Frank Speech is is another one. And then we I cross post on Gab and True Social Daily. So the podcasts are out there, very available, welcome. And oh, I'm sorry, as well, Apple podcasts, Google podcasts. I'm not as lucky as you.
• 58:32
  Spotify hates me, by the way. They've gooped me off a couple of times. But yeah, I am on Pandora. We are on iHeartRadio and a couple of Player FM is another one and Amazon, which is Amazon Music.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Prime or whatever.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Amazon Prime Music or something. So a lot of great places to find the podcast is very available and it's there for you to listen to. To support, there's a couple different ways. Do our normal advertising, our normal stuff that when you support that, that always helps support the channel.
• 59:07
  And then as well that you can donate off of the website if you choose to do that. And we also we're starting to open up a new store right now, which I've gotta send you a Bard's FM flag. It's on its way, but we'll get that over to you. We've got some new stuff coming up. So anyway, are you there?
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Actually, I wanna be in your Bard's FM flag video. Was thinking like, I could be the Ohio guy with the Bards FM.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's awesome. Well, and that's that's something that's gonna be a lot of fun. And we're doing this we're having a lot of fun with this. Just so I say it, we're we're staking out the world under and to understand what I'm saying, we the Bards FM flag is is a black flag with with Bards FM and white on it, and it's a symbolic thing.
• 59:44
  It's literally like we will give no quarter, but it's in the terms that we will give no more quarter for God. And so the the channel is I you know, I'd say this many times, just parts of him I'm very blessed. This is a channel that God led me to, and it's God has guided this the whole time. And we have an amazing audience, and I it was really wonderful having you on the other day. We'll have you back on because you and I have to dig into China.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: But we also, I just encourage people if you wanna come over and experience a very unique chat, try the live streams. We have a a an amazing chat, an amazing t excuse me, team of dedicated mods. And it's a it's also a an community that constantly shares. We have support. We brand breakout groups on Telegram all over the place, and and many of them have been just driven by our followers.
• 1:00:29
  So I just it's we have a Bards FM, a garden section. We have a guard Bard's FM family room. We have a Bard's FM Bible school that just started up. So it's a lot of really neat stuff that is out there and just, it's a great community. You're welcome.
• 1:00:45
  Everyone's welcome And we and the trolls are always crushed. So it's pretty good.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: It's always good. So one final question before we before we head over into the q and a is it's really easy for people that start venturing into understanding what's happening. And maybe it was COVID that told them something was up, or maybe it's not the food shortages or seeing the first, you know, kind of couple, you know, months or years or so of what you call the hand puppet Biden, right? And so as people are venturing into this, it's really easy to become frightened, scared, to feel overwhelmed by how well orchestrated this is and the scale that the evil has taken. But there's a lot of hope in this, and I want you to give just your your closing thoughts to the first part of this conversation on why there is hope for us and why we will get through this.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: We're dealing with institutions of man that historically will always rise and fall. What we also know is our relationship with God ensures us that he's got us. And it's that simple. I mean, our life is not intended to be easy. It's a it's a trial.
• 1:01:50
  It's a learning experience. It's a growing experience. And it's a really wonderful journey, especially when we embrace truly our father, you know, and that's and as as we walk that way in such a beautiful walk with God, we start to really understand that so much of what's out here is caused by the pure corruption of base being of who we are. But as we live to be greater and awaken to those gifts and talents that God puts within us, we we we really can look at this world in such a different way. It's it's the intimacy in that relationship with God that gives us no fear.
• 1:02:28
  It embraces every moment as a challenge and an exciting new step. And we step away from the ownership of being part of this world and realize we're not part of world. We're here to experience this world. And that's where, like, in all of this right now, this is a storm. And, you know, when I combine that with some of the my experience in real conflict, There are some intense moments, but you can't control what you can't control.
• 1:02:55
  That's one of the biggest things I try to remind people of is what we can control is with what which is within my immediate environment. And that's where, again, grow some food, get God back in your home, take charge of your life. Don't let others dictate it. Because once you start to take the little pieces back, the big pieces don't mean so much anymore because you can't change them anyway. These fools are gonna drive this train to the pits of hell if they can.
• 1:03:21
  It's just that I'm not going to hell with them. I'm gonna let them fall off the cliff. And when we'll all stand back on the cliff, we'll look down the way and go, wow, that was one heck of a wreck. Let's get planting some food. We got work to do.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's great. And there's there's one kind of last funny thing is I I saw a meme I wanted to share with you about fighting, about actually we have to actually do something. Right? We have to step and fight.
• 1:03:42
  And it said something like, you know, like, we need to fight right now. Like, you're the third monkey trying to get on a Noah's ark, and it's starting to rain. Right? So it's like, that's that's where we need to be. Right?
• 1:03:53
  Exactly.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Don't don't be that one where the door slams, and you're like, I was over here hanging out wondering what was gonna go on. Get up there in line. Let's
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: do Exactly. Exactly. So, folks, we are now gonna head over to Rise TV exclusively where we're gonna do about a half an hour or so, depending on Scott's schedule, of just q and a where we can really ask anything, which I always look forward to this portion because some of the good questions that come up leads to some really fun discussions. So for those of you that are still watching on Rumble, thank you so much for joining us. If you want to join us over on Rise TV, there's a link in the description below the video for a free trial.
• 1:04:30
  If you do choose to stick around after that, it's $9.99 a month, which really goes towards really, you know, folks like myself, you're really trying to get this information out there and building a community for patriots. And as you can see, it's still my mission to put as much free content as possible on these public platforms because this is an information war. It's not gonna do a whole lot of good if I'm just sitting over behind some paywall somewhere. But if you do want to support, come join us over on Rise TV. And just again, so if you're following me on Telegram or choose social, I will share where you can follow Scott and Bards FM.
• 1:05:02
  Just remember this central place, bardsfm.com to make sure you're following and listening to Scott who does think you're doing what? 18 podcasts a week now? Yes.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: I'm doing 18 podcasts a week.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like I can almost guarantee that when you open up your Podbean app, there's almost always at least two or three new episodes you haven't heard from from Scott. So.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We I I keep it busy. It's good.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Yep. Alright. So Dom, you can go ahead and cut the rumble feed, and we can now jump into the q and a portion. Now, we're gonna go until 03:30 my time. Is that still okay for you?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Absolutely. And we're good.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Okay. Great. So let me just pull up some questions. Actually, so Roger said Scott reminds me of Brad from Big Family Homestead. Not sure if you know who who Brad is, but.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: I've seen that. Was good.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, so well first off, so surreal artist actually donated $10 and said thank you, Scott. I love you already adding you to my limited list for knowledgeable speakers.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: It's great. Thank you very much. That's awesome.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: So actually, here's a great question is to to get us kind of rolling. This is from Michelle Maurice who says, is all of our military corrupted or will a percentage of the military resist the globalist in the deep state?
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: Wow. This is a great question, and it's a very difficult one. I've spent a lot of time trying to use the resources that I have and the context I have to answer that because it's a very concerning issue, especially since we've looked at, I think it's upwards now of eighty or ninety percent of the military has been injected. The one thing I I will say is this, the most of them have not taken the injection because they've wanted to. They've had to take the injection because they've had to.
• 1:06:50
  And the the threats and coercion that have gone on within the military would be mind blowing to most people. Everything from threatening to not only take away their pay and their benefits that they've earned for years, but even forced them to threatening to force them to repay all their training costs. So this is
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: been paying for gender reassignment surgeries.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: Correct. I mean, the military has been turned into a Petri dish. So this is kind of how I look at this. We're gonna need to rebuild our military when this is over. What about between now and then?
• 1:07:24
  The most important thing we can do, continue to do, is to inform people, including soldiers. We have to make them aware because you have to remember that within the military, there is very much a bipolar world. There's an evil, and then there's the there's them and the evil. What most military people have a difficult time wrapping their head around still, and it may it may be difficult for some to see, but is that there is such a thing as an enemy from within and worse yet, their masters are much of the problem. So we have you have to understand that it's a very proud culture depending on what branch you're talking to.
• 1:08:02
  Some are much more embedded into the concept of the evil of, you know, bipolar evil. There is a there is a mentality within the military that believes that people should all take the shot because they did it. Most military members have not taken time to really educate themselves on the constitution in particular, and I stress this point, the declaration of independence. That is the most important document we have because it lays down the framework of our nation and the origins of power. So my encouragement, number one is any chance you have an opportunity and try to educate there.
• 1:08:39
  Number two, it is important that we get back to a state level militia type arrangement. So that's gonna take some time and organization. Again, build communities, be strong, and most importantly in all of this, I mean, obviously, your relationship with God, but get to organize with your sheriff because the sheriff is really gonna be the bridge to anybody coming into the county. And that will help give some space as this thing kind of unravels, but it's education's gonna be a big one. It's kind of footnote this as my dad and I are both veterans and he made the comment the other day.
• 1:09:14
  He goes, we just need a bullhorn ready that if they do if we do start seeing military, we need to start asking them who they serve. And it's a really it's a pretty interesting idea because a lot of these people have never faced the idea that they might have to literally come inside the country and and squel domestic issues. Remember what happened in Katrina with Russell Means? He was he was the one not Russell Means. Russell Academy is he was the anyway, the the general that ran that down there, he had the eighty second airborne hit the ground locked and loaded, and that's a violation of.
• 1:09:52
  They they were never allowed to be there. And in fact, it was the national guard commander, one of good friend of mine who sat down with that command group and explained to them the law, the army didn't even know the law. And once they realized that they had violated it, it was literally an instant order to back down. So I I say this education communication is central to all of this. Be confident that in the end, the right thing will be done, but two things I wouldn't do.
• 1:10:18
  I would not be opening my arms welcoming to any sort of soldiers that come walking into my community. And two, I wouldn't be intimidated. Either one. You are we are free Americans. That's an important point to remember.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: So here's a a very good question. I'm a little biased towards. This is from mom seventeen seventy six, who happens to be my mother. So she says, Scott, besides growing your own food, what are three things you feel are important for all of us to do right now to prepare for the next six to twelve months? And I'll throw a caveat if you'd mentioned in your advice to her building a small cabin on her son's land and moving out of the city, I won't I won't be against that.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: So I guess the first one would be building a small cabin on your son's land and moving out of the city. In all seriousness, though, I will actually follow I think it's really important that we try to bring community together. Getting close to family as much as you can is a really critical thing. I made a decision three years ago to return back to my hometown and then to and and that's what allows me to be extremely close with my parents. And I'm very happy I did because it's not only a destressor for them, but a destressor for me because it we we work together daily and that's a beautiful thing.
• 1:11:33
  Communication, it's a big one. And I would be looking at outside of the growing of the food and definitely be looking at communication. So there's a couple of things on that. You can use some of the open radio sources. There's CB and there's other radio formats out there.
• 1:11:49
  I am a big believer in getting HAM certified. It takes time. We're in a window that's collapsing. So there is I think it's GMRS is one source that does you can get a license online for $10 for ten years. You don't have to take a test.
• 1:12:06
  GMRS is a local radio network that gives you about two to five miles, and it relies on local radio repeater towers. It's a good way to have a local communication. If you can get HAM certified, I would definitely do that. In addition to that, we need to have we need to be building reliable tribes or communities that we can do literally traditional type of paper delivery. So the more we do this, when things start to collapse, there's gonna be people that have great resources.
• 1:12:34
  So here's an example of something we modeled out in 2015, anticipating something like this would happen in 2016. We started getting to know motorcycle groups and getting to talk to them about what resources they had and if they would be willing to be modern day Pony Express couriers. And believe it or not, we even found that the one that some of the harder core types that were sometimes involved in illicit activities were willing to participate. So anyway, so communication's a big one. Get develop a communication strategy.
• 1:13:05
  And the and the the other one is develop a a strategy of survival in the sense of defense and evac. And I and I'm saying this because depending on where you are, there's sometimes this idea that I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna die standing in my house. You're no good dead. I hate to tell you. And I and I'm not trying to try to incite a fear that's gonna be riots, but depending on where you are, there's gonna be some instability.
• 1:13:32
  So the first thing is to not bug out, but to think of the terms of bug in, That's a really important sense, but is and until you can't, and then have a plan of where you're going to go, how you will sustain yourself when you were there, and then if you can return to your primary location. But don't do the I'm gonna die on spot. Just so I mention it, there is a fantastic channel on YouTube. It's called Gray Bearded Green Beret, and he is a seventh grouper. I don't know him personally, but I know his his background and his resume is all real.
• 1:14:07
  He is literally this what you just heard from me are the same things he preaches. He is super, super good for if you wanna sit down and watch a series of videos in a week and then wanna understand how to build a go bag, a bug out bag, how to have good strategies on setting up caches of of food and so forth. He's got it all for you, and it's all practical. So I just really encourage that.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you. So quick message for Kate. My bottom monitor stopped working to see you now. I'm still live. I can't see my feed.
• 1:14:36
  Okay. So I'm gonna merge two questions here, which I think are fantastic. So someone so Casey Dave has asked, what is the safest country in the world to live in at this time? And also, I know metal avengers asked that question a handful of times as well. But also, so prep daddy prep, great screen name, has said, I live near Vancouver, Canada.
• 1:14:57
  My child's mother was half American and is eligible for American citizenship. I'm unvaccinated and the mother of my child passed away a couple of years ago. Where is the safest place we can relocate to flee potential invasion? So both those questions really deal with just where people are at globally and where you'd recommend.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: Okay. So good questions. I'm first of all, the safest country, believe it or not, is still The United States. We're a big country. We have a bunch of seditious propagandists that are trying to tell us we're not.
• 1:15:29
  But if you really look at the lay down of counties politically, you'll find that the majority of The United States is red, which is an important point. Okay. There's a couple philosophies on where to live, and I'm not gonna be able to give you the predictions. Like, there's a lot of people have done lay down maps of, like, the predictions of a coming tsunami or earthquake. I don't know.
• 1:15:51
  Here here's how I kind of do it. I love where I live, and I'm in a blue state. I'm in a red county. Red red. Like, my sheriffs made it clear that the moment that FEMA takes off, tries to overtake his power, he gives them the badge.
• 1:16:06
  He joins us to fight them. That's the type of red county I'm in. Okay? And but I'm also in a county that is very mellow and people could just look out for one another. It's a great thing.
• 1:16:16
  So if we knew, for example, that somebody was getting hit with some sort of Antifa group, you'd probably have half the four wheel drives of this county with sticks in the back window, which is where I grew up, running out there to get in the fight. So that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. So it's there's a lot of great places in the country to live. I think that Eastern And Southern Oregon are great places. I think Eastern Washington is a great place.
• 1:16:39
  Idaho is a very good state. Those are more typical red states. Texas is a great state, but I know people that are leaving Texas for reasons right now, I'm just too much influx. A lot of people have gone to Florida, but it's the same problem. I will tend to choose where not everybody's going.
• 1:16:53
  So Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Southern Oregon, Wyoming, another good place. I think the bigger issues that we have to look at to be realistic are your what's your available when you get there. Can you find a place that has potable and reliable water? Do you have a small bit of acreage or even you don't even need acreage, plural. You can have like quarter acre, half an acre where you can quickly start turning that into food production.
• 1:17:21
  What's your weather like? This is something we don't often hear people talk about in terms of relocation and it's critical. We're in a zone seven here. In zone 78, it's like seven and a half. I'm gonna tell you, this is an amazing zone to grow food.
• 1:17:34
  I can grow food year round. I can grow everything from apples all the way up to kiwi here, right, in this zone. I can grow my medicinals here, rich without any problem in a very small area, highly productive soil. And this is an important point to look at. And I have this is a county that the only main arterial north and south is easily cut off if it had to be, and it keeps us fairly well isolated.
• 1:18:00
  We also have a river in this county that runs from mountain to ocean, one of the rare things in the in the country. So there's water. So again, I would, even if I had the pot water, right? So I would, and I'm in a city that says that even in an urban environment, you can drill a well. These are big things.
• 1:18:17
  So I would encourage those sorts of analysis. It doesn't give a canned answer. A lot of it's going depend on your preferences. Have to, if you're like, if you're in Oregon, in Southern Oregon, you have to enjoy rain and cloudy days. I do.
• 1:18:30
  If you're in Eastern Oregon right now, they're dealing with a drought. So that's another challenge, but these are just ongoing challenges. There's really no perfect place for anybody. Everyone will tell you their place is perfect. My biggest advice is just don't go where everybody else is going because there's a lot of people migrating to key states, and I'm like, that is not where I wanna be.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, it's interesting because I had the same thought. You know, so I I was living in New York City, you know, three years ago. I grew up in Ohio, and had thought, okay, you know, my wife and I were talking, do we go to Florida? Do we go to Texas?
• 1:19:02
  And this was still when things weren't nearly what they are now. But, you know, in coming back to Ohio, I think Ohio is very similar to the region where you're at. Of course, the big cities, Columbus, Cincinnati, they're they're kind of blue hell holes, you know, that's just what they've become. But like where I'm at, my county is I'm I'm in Muskingum County, which is, kind of a little bit, you know, a little bit kind of Western or a little more Eastern Central Ohio. But it's a con it's it's a second amendment sanctuary county.
• 1:19:30
  It is you know, Ohio has open carry or sorry. You know, they they just passed constitutional carry here in Ohio. And you can still buy it because I look I was looking yesterday because I'm trying to convince friends and family to move close to me. But, you know, it's an area where you can still buy a decent 2,000 square foot single family home on an acre of land for, you know, quarter million dollars, which is, you know, try you know, that's gonna be 600,000, in Texas or Florida. So I think I agree with you completely.
• 1:19:59
  And we've got the Muskingum River, which is a massive river that's running right through the middle of our county. And so there's a lot of water here. And we're zone I think we're around Zone 6, so it's not quite You're
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: pretty close. I yeah. You're close to it. I and I know I know more about Ohio than you might think. Have you ever read Malabar Farm?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: I've heard the name.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: You need to read that book. That's all about your state and the returning of
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: The guy yeah. The guy was a he was a writer in Paris and came back and bought it, took over his family farm and started it all up. So it's a great story. Malabar Farm. The real story.
• 1:20:29
  Malabar Farm. It's hard to find. It's a book. I don't think I have a copy. If I have a copy, I'll send it to you, but I don't know if I do anymore.
• 1:20:35
  Good.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: So here's a here's a very good question. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. This is from Taina C. Who says, is Jasara Nisara real? And will will there be debt forgiveness for all or is it a SIOP?
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: So I think there's two dimensions of Jasara Nisara. I if you hear my channel, I'm always beating up on it because it's this dumb idea that somehow money's gonna come raining down from the sky and everybody's gonna have all this wealth. And the way I explained to it is like, whoever does that dumb plan, you know, nobody will work. Like all of a sudden, like I've got a million dollars and everyone's gonna be so do I. Okay.
• 1:21:10
  Well, are you gonna do my work? No, I'm not gonna do my work. No one's gonna do anything. It'll destroy humanity. I do think that in a reset, there will have to be some form of debt forgiveness.
• 1:21:20
  I think that you were already starting to see that teased up, whether it is the liberal side or the conservative side notice that nobody's really pushing back on the student loan forgiveness because these are old debts they're trying to clear up. And if you get to the core of it, they're trying to get old rid of past debt. Student loans is one of those debts that you can't discharge. So I think that some of that's gonna go away. I think that the principle of NESARA, some of the raw principles of NESARA are possible, which is debt forgiveness.
• 1:21:48
  And then there's a, there's this Jubilee wealth that they talk about, which this is where everybody gets confused. That wealth isn't intended for personal use in the Jubilee sense. It's talking about taking wealth wherever that wealth is originating from, whether it's national wealth or or some other additional source, but using it for projects to benefit humanity. That's the key piece here. Do I I've talked to a lot of people over the years on this.
• 1:22:15
  I think that that is if you had a a good sense of governance, I think that would be practical anyway. I mean, that'd just be like grants. Right? So that part of it, I think is real. And that's where you would find some of this stimulus.
• 1:22:30
  And I would suspect that people are probably going to be have an opportunity at some point to make some of those proposals to do the benefit for humanity. What's in between that and where we are? Corporate America, to be blunt. I mean, that's they don't want anything like this because they can't patent it. They can't IP control it.
• 1:22:49
  They can't copyright a trademark it, whatever. So I say those things because I think the Nessera Dessera model has some practical aspects. I'll say it that way that could help reset to get us to a zero debt society. And that would mean living within our means. I am anti anti any sort of universal basic income.
• 1:23:11
  I think it's a it's a absolute wrong thing to do. I think it's another welfare program. And I think that that's what UBI is doing is it's passing itself off as a, in the Sarah de Sarah model when in fact it's just a welfare control model. So the real core that I have read of NIS Sarah is actually, it's a lot more work than where we currently are. That's the interesting piece.
• 1:23:35
  It's demanding that people get involved. You have to start working your tail off to build gifts or to build opportunities for humanity. You get to be inspired to use what you do, and there will be resources there to do that, but it doesn't guarantee anybody personal wealth. And I think that's a key difference. As far as debt forgiveness, I think it's very possible, but all of this comes down to this.
• 1:23:57
  I wouldn't worry about it. It's a waste of time to be thinking about it right now. I've literally found people that are clinging onto it. Like when's it gonna happen? It's like, how about never?
• 1:24:05
  When we start there. And then when you start with that premise, then when it comes, it's just a windfall. You're like, wow, I didn't expect that. So that that's kind of my perspective. Hope that helps.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: It's it's a very similar perspective, although less harsh maybe than some of the perspectives I've given on, usually, when I'm run Rise TV. So here's a good question for Weller, which also brings up a point that I want to also ask you with. So Weller says, should we be preparing for things to lock down again this winter? And with that, I also wanted to ask you about the importance of being able to heat your home this winter in a way that's not dependent on the central energy system of natural gas, electricity, etcetera.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Both both great questions. I would anticipate some form of a lockdown and it may not be for the reasons we think. I mean, if you just look at it, what's happening right now, we're kind of being forced slowly into a a self induced lockdown by virtue of lack of fuel and and potential looming food shortages. So even like myself, because I'm going to be doing some travel in August driving, I'm having to plan differently. Like fuel relay, I'm having to plan out fuel routes.
• 1:25:13
  There are more detail than I've had to do in years, making sure I carry an extra four liters or so of fuel on my Jeep just in case. So I mean, just so that we don't get, I don't get stuck somewhere. And that's just because I'm looking at the shortages that truckers are going through and seeing the cost in the regular consumer fuel costs and saying there's a possibility. And we've already seen some shortages in some gas facilities across the nation. So I would not ever, I would, at this point in our existence in humanity, I would be prepared always to have to lock down for a period, whether it's for security reasons, food reasons, or transportation reasons.
• 1:25:49
  That means like within your home, you need to be looking at how do you cook if you don't have gas or you don't have propane or, and that's always back to a wood stove of some fashion or charcoal heat. I'm boy, I studied this model so heavily before I invested in a wood stove and I have a wood stove in the house. I literally spent probably six weeks looking at every possible alternative from solar to gas generators, to propane generators. I decided that wood heat was the best because there's it's unlike a pellet stove, there's no reliance on a on a fan or a little motor system to drive the belt. It's woods easily available.
• 1:26:32
  I have enough wood stocked up for probably two winners out here. The front end cost was not as well, it was what it is. It was probably 4 or $5,000 to put it into the house properly. But I have no worries because even if it got super cold, we had to go to one room that it it's enough to heat the whole house, but let's say we're at a total dark out blackout, no power, and I didn't wanna use our backup generator. We could just go to one room and everybody could stay warm.
• 1:26:59
  It's that easy. So I think that wood heat is your best choice overall. That's my personal opinion. I think it's environmentally solid, and then the new stoves are really good, and they are and wood's easily available. And and on top of that, we can recycle.
• 1:27:16
  Like, just as a simple side note, if you'd say you have carpet tubes, you can take your paper waste and cram that in there densely and wax in that, and you make a little log. So my point is there's ways to use that wood stove to heat and to cook on too, if you had to.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an important point because we've been going through the same process. We have a just a gas, you know, kind of decorative fireplace, and we were gonna replace it last season, but we just couldn't find any stoves. Like every single stove everywhere was on six week, eight week, thirteen, fifteen week backorder. I mean, was incredible how far back we finally found a floor model. You know, we live close to Amish country, and so I found actually, Kate found an Amish guy that still had some floor models we went and got.
• 1:28:02
  And but we also we we specifically found a stove that, a, could heat our home properly, but we could also cook on top of it. Because a lot of stoves don't you know, something like the soapstone, you know, models you can't necessarily cook on because they're not you know, they don't transfer the heat.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: If I had my ideal setup, I would have a wood cook stove. That way, it would that has a water container on it. They make them, obviously, they they make a lot of them still. The most the best ones still come from England, believe it or not. But that would be my perfect choice for a kitchen area because it would be able to do all things including heating hot water.
• 1:28:38
  But that aside, I mean, I think that and I I also wouldn't I would encourage every opportunity you can in everything to create redundancy. So whether it's a charcoal cooker or whether it's a rocket stove to have the backup or using passive solar with it's a really good one. They're easy to make. There's tons of designs out there, how to make solar dryers and solar food cookers. It literally costs you $30 and you can make a nice little solar cooker.
• 1:29:06
  And I would and you can use those pretty much year round. All of these things, what you're doing is you're creating no singular point of failure and you have these residual issues. And then the final note on that, make sure you've got space blankets and you've got a little tent that you can set up indoors and you've got a good sleeping bag because in worst case, you can bundle up and you can keep yourself warm with a candle in that type of space.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Especially if you have a basement, and you can use some of that geothermal, which will still heat you a little bit in the winter. So, Scott, it is 03:30 now, my time. I really, really appreciate you being here. And I know that you're I'd always I'd love for you to stay longer.
• 1:29:46
  I know you're a busy man. You're doing 18 shows a week. I feel very grateful you've given us the time that you have today. I just wanna remind people to follow you, and I'll share all your information on Telegram. Do you have any last kind of thoughts for people before we we sign off?
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I I would say this, and this real big compliment to you too, Seth. I mean, when I say this, there's not that many shows out there right now that are really kinda keeping a level head and and talking about preparing in a mature way. We're not gonna be in a bunker war. And I'll tell you what, if we're in a bunker war, like you're bunkered up, need to use your 10,000 rounds of ammo, we've got a whole another problem anyway.
• 1:30:27
  Okay? Yeah. Be smart. Make sure your house has got a good defense plan. Don't take that lightly.
• 1:30:34
  We're not out here to seek war on Americans. We're out here to defend our property from roaming zombies basically. But you also have to think in terms of how you can use your your systems to hunt fish. Those are good skills. Make sure you're getting skills under you to sustain and just be solid with with your prepping and keep God at the center of everything because that's the wisdom and that's the leveling piece that keeps us calm.
• 1:31:02
  And we need to keep our head in this because it's gonna get a little dicey. It really is. And you don't need to be reacting quickly to things right now. Take a breath. Like they always say in in a patrol.
• 1:31:13
  Comes a point, and I'm gonna tell you firsthand from being in an ambush that we thought we didn't think we were gonna come out of. There comes a point that you literally have to take a knee, take a sip of water, assess your terrain, and then calmly proceed forward with focus. Everything in our life right now needs to do that. Be reasoned in the judgment and above all, keep God in our heart. And as we walk purely with that space, man, I'm gonna tell you, we're gonna weather this beautifully.
• 1:31:39
  And as all the chaos breaks out, the wisdom people will stand up and go, y'all done being stupid? Because we're about ready to start our country again. And that's about where we're gonna be.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: What a great thing to end on. So, Scott, I look forward to joining your show and digging into China whenever we can get that scheduled.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Soon. Next couple weeks, Seth, I'll get it.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: We wanna make that happen. Versa. You know, maybe, you know, I'd love to have you back on again because I think especially over the next couple of months, there's gonna be a lot of things changing quickly.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Seth, let's try to do that too. I think it's real important because there's there's a lot we have to share with what you're doing in your homestead and what I'm doing here. I'll get with Hannah, and we'll make sure we connect that. I think we should keep that crosstalk going. We've got great audiences, and they learn a lot from each other, and that's gonna help build that synergy we need.
• 1:32:22
  Thank you very much. It's been an honor to be on your show today.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you again, Scott. And, until next time. And I'll I'll let you how do you always end it? You always have a certain way, a little phrase at the end of all your shows. I'm always like, I need I need to clip up my ending like yours.
• 1:32:35
  What
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: I always say is I say, keep your head up and your eyes forward. Never bow to evil. Never relent. Always press into the fight. Keep your prayers up.
• 1:32:44
  God's with us. He'll never forsake us. And in the end, God will always win. But we are here in this time, in this place, for just such a time as this. We are at war.
• 1:32:55
  Walk boldly and fearlessly with Christ. Occupy the land. Expand the kingdom, mission forward. So thank you very much.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: The perfect ending of the show. Scott, thank you so much. I really appreciate you coming on.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 2: Amen. God bless. Have a great day. Talk to
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: you soon.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: Bye bye now.
