Latest / Man in America Podcast / $8 Diesel, Oil Routes Under ATTACK & Food Shortages Next? | Sunday w/ Seth
Transcript
- 3:58Speaker 1: So for the last several months, the war with Iran has continued to escalate. And at the same time, you've got the war between Russia and Ukraine still raging. Russian refineries getting hit, shipping routes under attack, pipelines getting hit, and, honestly, some pretty bad things are happening to the global oil supply. And now we're starting to feel it here at home in America, where I'm coming from, and probably in your own country. If you're outside of America, you're feeling it too.
- 4:24So here, diesel is already up to over $6 a gallon nationally. It's over $8 a gallon out in California, which is almost 70% increase from a year ago. So truckers are talking about strikes, and they're parking their rigs because the numbers simply just don't add up anymore. Farmers are saying that diesels become so expensive that they in some cases, they're just walking away from their crops. It's not even worth harvesting.
- 4:47And people are starting to freak out about this. I I think it's not really, you know, doomers that are freaking out. Right? I'm seeing warnings of massive fuel crisis. People saying that the trucks are gonna stop moving.
- 5:00Grocery stores are gonna go empty. Farmers won't be able to harvest their crops. And people are even saying there's gonna be widespread famine next year. So what's really going on here? And because that's what I wanna focus on tonight.
- 5:13That's what I wanna be really trying to figure out with you because there are a lot of pieces to this story. And we start putting it together, it becomes a lot easier to understand why diesel suddenly costs $6 a gallon. So we're gonna look at what's happening with Iran in The Strait Of Hormuz. We're gonna look at the Saudi oil pipeline that was just attacked. We're gonna be looking at what's happening with the Red what's happening with Ukraine and Russia and their refineries, and why all of this matters specifically for diesel.
- 5:41And then I wanna answer the bigger question, which is what if this global energy crisis isn't just this series of unfortunate events that have compounded into this situation that we have? And what if the crisis itself is the actual plan? And there's some sort of sinister coordination behind all of these attacks and wars. It's an honest question I think deserves an answer. And so, look, I'm not trying to scare you here with this.
- 6:08Like, there's enough fear porn everywhere right now. But I'm not also I'm not gonna put on the rose colored glasses and tell you that everything's fine when it clearly isn't. So my goal is just to take a sober look at what's actually happening, try to separate facts from panic, and just figure out how concerned we should be. Welcome to Man in America, a voice of reason in a world gone mad. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse, and thank you so much for joining me live tonight.
- 6:39I was actually really disappointed because I've been working on doing a show with, Tartaria and Hidden History. I had so much fun. I think I did a three hour livestream last week, and I'm gonna I'm gonna continue that. I've got a whole lineup of probably 10 different shows or more digging into the history they've been hiding from us. And that was my plan for this week, but this crisis really escalated over the course of the past couple of days.
- 7:05And I felt like it was just responsible to cover this, but it it's also something I've been covering a lot over the past few years and trying to understand, you know, potential threats, globalist agendas, threats to our freedom. And so it is responsible for me, I think, to cover this. And part of the reason why I wanna cover it is just to help you keep calm because there's a lot of fear mongering happening. And I've been accused of being a fear monger, and that's not my intention. But I wanted to just take a sober look at this.
- 7:36I'm not gonna be, like, saying, hey. We're all gonna starve to death, and we're gonna be eating each other next year. I think we have to be cool headed about it and just look at the facts of what's happening, understand what's going on, what we can and can't control, and what we can do about it. And so with the sorry. One quick point, though.
- 7:56In terms of the format of these Sunday night live shows, so it is live. I'm gonna have the chat coming up. I've got Rumble and YouTube. In particular, I'll be looking at the chat, But I won't be pulling up the chat during the show, the main kind of part. I put together probably about an hour or so narrative to work through first, and then we'll do all of the chatting and hanging out and questions and comments afterwards.
- 8:18So if you do have certain comments or questions you want me to highlight, just make them all caps. You know, comment all caps or question all caps, and my producer, Kay, will save those, and we'll get to those at the end of the show. So that's our format. Deep dive, then we hang out, have fun, laugh, cry, whatever it is. And that will be tonight's show.
- 8:37Now, just a quick thing. You know, people are looking at this, and there are some people that are worrying. And if I do have one suggestion for you for a for a a from a preparedness point of view, make sure you've got at least a month of food. That's one of the big ones. I mean, obviously, you wanna make sure you have access to water.
- 8:54If you're purely relying on town or city water and if that water gets shut off because of a, you know, energy situation where the the power grid's down for some time, that's obviously a big one. But in terms of food, which we're talking about food, talking about farmers, you know, you don't have to rush out and try to have six months or a year worth of food. It takes time to build that. And unless you've just got really deep, you know, pockets and you can go spend $10 on emergency food that'll last you that long, just make it a goal to have one month of food. If you just have one month of food, that's typically gonna be enough to get you through most scenarios, because what you wanna avoid is a week in some sort of crisis, and you're now hoping that the grocery store has the food that your family needs, and you're now lining up with all the other people, potentially looters, to try to get that food.
- 9:44And so whether you've got a pantry full of extra canned goods or, whatever you have, just try to make it to that one month. If you're looking for a company that sells the survival food, the company that I've used the most, I trust the most is Heaven's Harvest. Very good friends with the owners there. They're good people, strong Christians here in Georgia, you know, really love their country. And so if you are looking for something that's easy, if you go to their website, justheavensharvest.com, and you go over here, you click on the food button.
- 10:19Right here, you can get a one week food kit. You can get a three week food kit, a six week kit. These are freeze dried. They're prepackaged. The you know, typically, they're gonna have a twenty or twenty five year shelf life.
- 10:32So, you kinda buy it. You set it in the back of the, you know, pantry or the basement room or whatever and forget about it. And just in case things go kinda crazy, you've got it there waiting for you. They are non GMO. They use good ingredients.
- 10:46They the food actually tastes good. I've got a bunch of their probably too much of their food, maybe. But, anyway, if you're looking for a good suggestion, just aim for one month of food per person in your household. And maybe you've already got two weeks worth of pantry, and so you just need to supplement that with a couple weeks worth of this stuff. So, anyway, check it out.
- 11:08The the link is in the description, just heavensharvest.com. And we've got a promo code Seth, s e t h. You'll save 15% off your order. So, again, you go on here, you can see they tell you exactly what it is. It's freeze dried, it's a nice bucket.
- 11:21And like I said, it'll last twenty five, you know, twenty, twenty five, years plus. So, you kind of buy it once, and you just forget about it, but you know it's always there. So, just wanted to put that recommendation out for you. The other thing is that if you have if you or someone in your family is on Medicare or turning 65 soon, please listen to this because you need to understand, that some of those decisions you're making regarding your Medicare, you're making and and you don't get to make them twice. Right?
- 11:51So Medicare has certain windows. It has deadlines, and nobody reminds you. You don't feel any of that while the window's open. You feel it afterwards, but you can't change it. And I'm a big believer in handling a problem before it's a problem.
- 12:02I'd rather be five years early in something than one day late. So I partnered with these guys called Chapter, and they're fantastic. They're the best in the business. What they are, they're independent advisers, on Medicare. So what they do is they're they're really honest, and they help you to understand your plans.
- 12:17So they're not paid to push one plan over another. If you're already on the right path, they'll tell you. If not, they're gonna help you switch. Folks who have found new plans with chapters saved an average of $1,100 last year. So it's worth checking out.
- 12:29It's free. Takes under twenty minutes. Just call them at (773) 801-5366 or chapter.com/man. Again, that's 737738015366, or the website is chapter.com/man. Okay.
- 12:49Getting into this diesel and fuel crisis. So I really you know, I spent a lot of time trying to first understand exactly what's going on in The Middle East. I've always found The Middle East to be very confusing for a lot of reasons, especially getting into oil, where the oil is produced, where it's refined, the shipping routes, everything. So my first goal of this show is just to help give you an understanding of what's happening in The Middle East in the most simple way that I can. And so if it's simple enough that I can understand it with my thick skull, hopefully, you can.
- 13:27Okay. So looking okay. What's happening? So diesel is up over $8 a gallon out in California and some other places. I think the national average is around $6.
- 13:38So this right here is the, this is from the US Energy Information Administration. This is kinda showing the fuel prices nationwide averages. So it's looking at gasoline, which you can see right now for The US. The national average as of 09/14 is about $4.31, which is up over a dollar from two years ago, up over a dollar a from a year ago. Now the the big killer though is diesel.
- 14:05So if you're looking at The US prices for diesel fuel, this is price per gallon. Okay. So the most recent was 09/14. The national average was $6.20, 28¢ per gallon, which is up to almost $3 from two years ago. Look down here at California.
- 14:21Over California, it's over $8 is their average in California. And so okay. What does this mean, though? So the farmers are getting hammered. Truckers are saying that numbers aren't gonna aren't gonna work anymore for them driving, which I'll get into that.
- 14:36And but also these people in the heating oil business, which are already warning that this winter could be really ugly. And so I wanna be careful how I frame this though because there is, as I mentioned, there's a lot of fear porn floating around. So America's not about to run out out of diesel tomorrow. Okay? We've got a lot of fuel here.
- 14:53We're not just gonna be tomorrow, you go to the gas station. There's nothing, and the whole thing just stops. Truckers are not just gonna stop shipping next week. But there's a very real problem that's developing, and I think that the facts are concerning enough without trying to make anything up about it. And so I wanna explain this is in plain English.
- 15:11Right? So why is diesel suddenly so expensive? Why does it matter even if you don't drive a diesel vehicle? What happened in The Middle East and Russia over the last few weeks? And what does this mean for this if the situation drags on for six months or if it escalates further?
- 15:25Because there is a lot of escalation happening even within the last twenty four to forty eight hours that's pointing towards a much more serious conflict in The Middle East, which will make all these situations a lot worse. And so I'll be sharing my thoughts on that. But, also, I'll be looking at, you know, whether, you know, this entire crisis is just part of some globalist playbook, part of the great reset, which, personally, I think that's probably the case. So okay. Getting into the details.
- 15:53Let's just start with what people are seeing on the ground. So this right here, this is a post from, you know, Unshadowed, formerly known as Ice Age Farmer, great guy to cover. And so this post really caught my attention. So what he's saying is that he's hearing from farmers who are walking away from the crops because at the current diesel prices, the economics just don't make sense. Now this is anecdotal.
- 16:16I can't verify that every farmer he's talking to is saying this, but the underlying problem is very real. So if you look at this right here, this is a comment that he received saying, spot on you're spot on Christian. We live on a 96 acre carob farm in Southern Portugal. It's simply not worth harvesting at €500 a ton. So this year, we picked enough for our families and neighbors and left the rest on the trees on the ground.
- 16:43We look after our neighbors. That's essential moving forward. And this isn't a a, you know, isolated event. I'm seeing this from a lot of different instances of farmers saying that, basically, it's become too expensive even to harvest their crop. Like, the harvest in their crop is if they do it and they spend the money on the fuel to harvest their crop, they're gonna lose money on that action.
- 17:03So, you know, these record diesel prices are hitting farmers, though, right in the middle of the harvest. And that's this is also a key is looking at the timing of this is because we're right in the middle of harvest season at the same time that we're having this massive spike in diesel prices. And so if it gets too expensive for them to run their tractors, eventually, that becomes a problem for you at the grocery store. And so looking at, you know, why diesel matters so much. And I think that for a lot of us, we probably don't think much about diesel unless maybe you own a diesel pickup truck or, like, I have a gas truck, but I've also got a diesel tractor.
- 17:40You know, I use it just for mowing my lawn and moving things around the property, so it's not like I rely on it for my livelihood. But you're paying for diesel every single day whether you realize it or not because the tractor that uses diesel is the one that's planting your food. The combine the combine that harvests all of that is burning diesel. The truck that moves that food to the warehouse, it burns diesel. Another truck that takes it from the warehouse to your grocery store is running on diesel.
- 18:10Heavy construction equipment, diesel, heavy machinery is running on diesel. A lot of the freight rail depends on diesel. Backup generators depend on diesel. So if there's a power outage, the hospital is using diesel to run its hospital. If there's a power outage, the cell towers are running on diesel generators.
- 18:29So but also, if you live in the North Northeast or in colder areas, heating oil comes out of the same broader distillate fuel system. So, you know, my home you know, I live in Upstate New York. I heat my home with heating oil. Now I've got a wood stove as a backup, which is something that I'm I'm happy that we have. We've got a decent wood kinda cast iron wood stove fireplace.
- 18:51But for a lot of people, they are literally heating their home with oil. In fact, there's been times in the past when I've run out of heating oil because I didn't check it on time because I'm an idiot sometimes. I had to go to the gas station and, you know, fill ten, fifteen gallons of diesel and go put it into my my fuel tank just to keep my keep my heating oil until the truck had come. And so when diesel gets expensive, that cost doesn't stay at the truck stop. It works its way into food, construction, shipping, heating, and almost everything else that we're buying.
- 19:24So as an example, let's just take one semi truck that, say, is running a 100,000 miles a year. Now depending on its mileage, that truck could easily burn 15,000 gallons of diesel every year. So if diesel is $3.75 a gallon, that's about $56,000 in fuel for a whole year. If diesel is $6.25 a gallon, it's around $94,000. Right?
- 19:52So that's almost $40,000 more per year. Now say, look at what's up in California, if it's at $8 a gallon, that's a $120,000 a year. So you're talking about, say, $3.75, which has traditionally been much more accurate as to what diesel prices are. That's around $50,000 a year in fuel. So at $8 a gallon, it's a $120,000 a year in fuel.
- 20:17So someone has to pay that bill. And the trucker story, though, it's it's bigger than just a trucker strike. Right? So we're hearing these we're seeing these posts of these truckers saying they're gonna go on strike October 1 if the prices don't come down. But I wanna add a little bit more to that.
- 20:33So here's a tweet I'm gonna pull up. This is from Peter b over on Twitter who says, I have a lot of friends in the heating oil business, and they're telling me it's absolute chaos right now. I was also talking to a friend that owns a trucking company with a large fleet of diesel trucks. He told me that their fuel costs are changing so quickly that it's becoming incredibly difficult to price jobs and play ahead. He says, you gotta know the streets, listen to the man, find out what's happening.
- 20:58Pain is coming. And so this is looking at just the again, this is one person. I can't verify his private private conversations, but this is the exact problem that you're gonna see when diesel prices jump so quickly. And so this is also where I think that there might be a little bit too much focus on this rumored trucker strike. For one, there's gonna be a lot of independent truckers, which are only a small portion of the fleet.
- 21:25And there's obviously there's anger out there, and that anger might be something that causes them to to park their rigs in protest. But that's not the part that worries me the most because you don't need a nationwide strike for the trucks to stop moving. Right? So if I'm a trucker and if a load pays me, say, $2,500 to deliver it, yet it cost me $3,000 to deliver it, I don't need anybody to organize a protest. I simply just stop taking that load, and that's the real problem is that, yes, okay, there could be a strike, but if delivering loads is no longer economical, it doesn't need a strike.
- 22:09People will just stop delivering these loads, and that's what happens when fuel prices prices stay high for too long. Some operators are gonna start losing money. The smaller, the weaker companies are gonna start failing, and trucks are are just gonna get parked because the numbers just don't work out. But then that's looking at the shipping, but looking at heating oil. So there's another tweet from Peter b I wanna highlight about the, heating oil.
- 22:33Right? So he says here he's warning people every day. Stuff's about to get very bad out there. The admin messed up with Iran. This admin, Trump, messed up with Iran, which I agree.
- 22:45And he shared this. Right? This is a guy that works in heating oil. This guy, Casey, says, it's going to be a hard winter. Heating oil is $5.69 a gallon right now.
- 22:54I normally do a prebuy of 500 gallons in August to lock in the price before winter demand hits. First, they told me to check back in September, then they called me, just now to say that there's no prebuys because of the market. So you can't even in some regions actually, apologize. He's got his ownness. I think he's just, sharing this as a consumer that buys, heating oil to heat his house.
- 23:17So, basically, he's saying that he can no longer lock in his purchase. So because a lot people, they will at least how I work, you know, we have two different tanks. We have two tanks in our house. They're two seventy five gallons each. So I typically get around 500 gallons of heating oil at a time.
- 23:34And so if I've got maybe only half of that amount right now, I might call, which is, you know, uncommon for me do is I'll call in and I'll lock in a delivery for a month from now when I know that, ma'am, I'm down to a quarter, and so I'll get topped up. Okay? So, again, this isn't another post that got my attention because, this is real. Okay? Like what we're talking about.
- 23:57And there's a lot of people that if they're relying on heating oil as their primary way of heating their heating their home, they might have, in the past, spent, say, $800 to fill up their fuel tanks to get through a good chunk of the winter. If that cost is now $1,200, they may not be able to afford that. Or what it means is that they can only get a portion of it, and now they're keeping their house at 60 through the winter instead of, say, 68, or they have to kinda close off parts of their house, or they just can't afford to refill their tank. And so this is this is a serious thing that we have to pay attention to. And so now, again, just think about this.
- 24:36Like, you know, what happens if diesel stays this tight, but then we get a brutally cold January in, say, New England area, which they're talking with the El Nino stuff that this is gonna be a pretty bad winter. So suddenly, the trucks, farms, the industry, and millions of homes are all pulling on that same system for their diesel. So the amount of diesel you or the the amount of heating oil you use is proportionate to how cold it is. So if we have a really bad winter, then colder areas are gonna move through a lot more heating oil than normal. And so I think that heating oil is actually one of the big kind of stories that's not getting enough attention here.
- 25:12So but moving to just the bigger picture, of trying to understand why all this is happening. And as I mentioned before, I find The Middle East very, very confusing. But thankfully, in the process of putting together this story for you, I was able to learn a lot of the the kind of basics and fundamentals so that, hopefully, I can make it easier for you to understand it. But the key is that to understand this trading in oil, you don't need to understand commodity trading. You need to understand a map.
- 25:43And so I found a really, really good map over on New York Times that I'm gonna pull up for you that even though this is, I think, an article from 2019, it's irrelevant because it's showing exactly how the the, oil is flowing. Okay. So the Strait Of Hormuz, which has been obviously a big topic of discussion, especially since Trump first had the strikes in Iran. They shut down the strait. It opens up again.
- 26:09It shuts down again. It opens again. It's kinda gone crazy. But why is the strait so important? So the strait is basically it's this gate.
- 26:18Right? This is the this is how how it kinda operates. If he's coming here and let's see. Zoom in a little bit here. So and I apologize for the podcast listeners that, you know, I'm gonna be showing some maps in this show that you won't be able to see, obviously.
- 26:32So just try your best to follow along or go watch the video. So what we're looking at here, this is the Persian Gulf. So this area right here is the Persian Gulf where a significant amount of oil is moving through here. Right? We have Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, The UAE, and Iran.
- 26:51They all have major oil infrastructure around this gulf. And if that oil is leaving on a tanker, then it is flowing through this gulf. Okay? So we're talking it's roughly 20,000,000 barrels of oil and petroleum products every single day, which is about a quarter of all the oil traded by sea in the world. So the problem isn't that Hormuz produces oil.
- 27:20No. It's that an enormous amount of the middle Middle Eastern oil is essentially sitting behind this little tiny gate of the Strait Of Hormuz. And as you can see this in this map, you can see it's animated showing you see all around the Persian Gulf here that this is where a a massive amount of the oil is being produced, and this is their ocean access. So they have all these big tankers flowing in. They get filled up, and then they leave, but they all pass through the Strait Of Hormuz.
- 27:50And this is why it's such a serious choke point. Now there are some other ways around it. So if, for instance, the Strait Of Hormuz is shut down, it doesn't mean that all the oil has nowhere to go. So Saudi Arabia has what's called the East West pipeline that goes to the Red Sea. The UAE has a pipeline that also bypasses the Strait Of Hormuz, but those alternatives can't come close to replacing everything that goes through the strait.
- 28:16So if the Hormuz gets shut down or seriously disrupted, you don't just have an Iran problem. You have a problem getting a huge chunk of the Middle East oil into the entire world market. And so the war involving Iran completely changed this equation. So tanker traffic has now become way more dangerous if it's even allowed through. Production was disrupted.
- 28:38Shipping costs have jumped, and countries are starting to look for other ways to move oil around Hormuz instead of going through it. And this is where Saudi Arabia becomes really important. So I'm gonna pull up another map here showing the what they call the Red Sea rage. Now this map right here is looking at you can see, on the right hand side, this is the Strait Of Hormuz, which has become a choke point. And so Saudi Arabia has this giant pipeline.
- 29:10So you see this dotted line right here. Right? So it's a giant pipeline so that, they can basically instead of moving oil through the Red Sea sorry, through the Strait Of Hormuz, they can actually pump the oil all the way across the country into the Red Sea. So it serves as a bypass of that. And you can see right here.
- 29:31Okay. Well, they go across to here to the Red Sea. It's another, you know, major body of water where you can have tankers coming in. So if Hormuz gets screwed up, they have a go around. It's simple.
- 29:41Well, last week, this pipeline got hit, and this was a really, really big deal. So let me pull this up right here. So, three pumping stations along the Saudi East West pipeline were hit in a recent drone attack. And so, basically, after the attack, Saudi Arabia shut down the pipeline. Before the pipeline was shut down, AP was saying that it's moving somewhere around two and a half to 4,000,000,000 barrels of oil per day.
- 30:10And so this is where it starts to get more serious because, obviously, the main route through the Strait Of Hormuz, it had problems. So when that happens, everyone starts leaning harder on the backup route, and then somebody attacks the backup route. So it doesn't mean the world suddenly has no oil. It means that we just lost a lot of the flexibility of how to even get it over there. And so, again, going back to this map I showed you oops, one second here.
- 30:39Okay, one let me pull this map up for you. Okay, so going back over to this map here, right, so you can see on the Saudi Arabia, there's a little dot here. So this is where these pumping stations were hit. So then the Strait gets shut down. They start moving this backup pipeline.
- 31:02Now that backup pipeline is offline through drone attacks. I think that there's I forget who they're they're handful of groups that they're claiming, you know, they're behind those attacks, but I personally think it's much bigger than that, which we'll get into towards the the end of the show here in terms of, like, what's really, really going on here. Okay. So looking at this pipeline, so that that pipeline got shut down. There's really no timeline.
- 31:30They they say that it could take a couple of weeks to open up, but a lot of times, these things take longer than they say. Maybe And they open it up, and then the next day, there's another drone attack, and the thing is shut down again. But if you're looking at this pipeline so it's not just Saudi Arabia. A lot of countries are actually moving their oil shipments from the Persian Gulf over to the Red Sea. And so if we look down here, right, there's this thing.
- 31:59It's called the Bab Al Mandab Strait. Bab Al Mandab Strait, which is the again, so we have the Strait Of Hormuz up here, and we have this other strait down here. And so a lot of the traffics are moving there, but then right next to that we have Yemen. And so now that's where the Houthis have been attacking. They've been attacking commercial ships for years, but over the last week, they've also made huge territorial gains along the Red Red Sea coast for Yemen.
- 32:27And so now they're also increasing their attacks. So, again, that's another choke point. So we have the Hormuz Strait is disrupted. The Saudi land route that goes around the Hormuz gets attacked, but now then the Red Sea shipping route is also under pressure. And so, you know, the world again, we just run out of oil automatically, but the roads that we're using to move this oil are all getting messed up.
- 32:52And so Saudi shipments so so there's a tweet I wanna pull up here from the Hormuz letter, which says that the Saudi Aramco has canceled all of its September European crude oil allocations and is scrapping every cargo slated for late September leading onward with a European lifter saying that no Saudi oil cargoes at all until November per initial report citing oil trading firm, Onex and Market Sources. So it says this takes the world's largest exporter out of the European market for the rest of September and all of October, a de facto force majeure on Saudi crude oil crude to Europe from the third largest inter energy producer in the world. So, obviously, this is a really big deal because Saudi Arabia is one of the largest exporters of oil in the world, and the European refiners are suddenly told that they're not getting the oil they were promised. And so this is how a war that's, you know, several thousand miles away gradually shows up in the prices everywhere. And so that's just okay.
- 33:56Let's just look at The Middle East. Now another major oil producer is Russia. And so with everything that's happening in The Middle East, as if that wasn't enough, Russ Russia, again, also one of the largest oil producers in the world, is they're a major exporter of both diesel and other refined fuels. So Russia, obviously, they have a lot of oil res oil reserves and oil that they're pulling out of the ground there, but they also have major refining stations. Because that's the other part of this equation is that you can't just pull the oil out of the ground and then go dump it into your semi truck.
- 34:31It has to be refined. And so these refining stations are also being attacked left and right. So in Russia, in particular, Ukraine has been systematically attacking Russia's oil infrastructure. And so the idea is pretty straightforward there is that oil is a huge source of revenue for Russia, and its refineries also produce the gasoline and the diesel that keep the Russian economy and their military moving. So with Ukraine, instead of just attacking tanks on the battlefield, Ukraine has been using these long range drones over hundreds of miles, seeing them into Russia to hit the infrastructure that helps it keep its war machine running.
- 35:09And they're not just isolated attacks anymore. So just a few days ago, Ukraine actually, I think I've got a yeah. Here we go. So Ukraine hit the Yaroslav refinery, which is another major Russian refinery. So they actually, there's two different refineries that hits here in these drone attacks.
- 35:27This is from September 16. But then just in the last twenty four to forty eight hours, Ukraine launched what Russian officials are calling the largest drone attack on Moscow since the war began. And here is a tweet from Zelenskyy bragging about this. Right? So here's a video, showing the attack.
- 35:49And so this attack right here was on the Moscow oil refinery. And so this is a major refinery. It's right outside of Moscow, and Ukraine says that it's processing roughly 12,000,000 metric tons of crude oil per year. And the Ukrainian officials are saying that there's been damage to sorry. I had the video up for you.
- 36:09Ukrainian officials are saying that it's, damaged, I think it's, yeah, three different processing units. And Russia has also confirmed that the refinery was hit and that the emergency crews are responding, but we don't know the full extent of the damage and how long production is gonna be affected for. We don't know that yet. But what's kind of interesting with this is that, you know, just a week ago, president Trump publicly asked Zelensky to stop attacking Russian refineries. And his argument was basically that there's plenty of Russian targets, but stop knocking out diesel production because the world is already dealing with this massive diesel shortage.
- 36:43And so Trump said the attacks were hurting the world, yet Trump still continues to hammer Iran, which is calling which is causing, I'd say, far greater problems globally for the oil crisis. And it's a whole different story, which is not I'm not gonna be getting into politics in this, you know, tonight's show, but still, you know, a week after Trump gives that warning, you've got this happening. And Zelensky bragging about it, saying glory to Ukraine. But what's also interesting is that in this tweet, he says the systems used include he's talking about the actual, facilities that you kind of the war systems they used to make these attacks. He's actually naming the particular systems.
- 37:24He's the systems used include F P 1, r Z 100, MICH 2,000, and a few other names here. But these are a lot of these systems are coming from other countries. And so I have to wonder if maybe part of this is he's kind of gloating here and saying, hey. Look. All these NATO countries are helping us with this attack.
- 37:46You know, they're they're giving us the weapons. They're doing all this stuff for us, which I feel like is really kind of egging Putin on to try to spur into some sort of attack into Europe, the NATO countries, etcetera. And so if we zoom out and look at what's happening here, the so the Middle East is already struggling to move normal amounts of oil through the Hormuz. Saudi Arabia's bypass pipeline gets attacked. The Red Sea is have increasing attacks from the Houthis.
- 38:20The, Russian refiners are getting hit. And we're heading into winter, and we're in the harvest season with diesel already above a national average of $6 a gallon. And that's why I don't think you can look at any of these stories in isolation because all these combined are putting pressure on the places that produce the oil, the routes that move the oil, and the refineries that turn that oil into diesel. And that's the bigger picture. But then simultaneously, as this is happening and, again, this is what makes me think that there's something much larger at hand here.
- 38:54This is not just a series of isolated events happening that are crippling the global energy supply energy supply. Because at the same time, you've got Exxon, which I'll pull, you know, pull this up for you, that Exxon just shut down a major Illinois refinery. So amidst all this insanity happening, there just so happened to be a I think it was a Con Ed power outage. And so on September 13, ExxonMobil's massive, Joliet refinery outside Chicago suddenly lost power, and the entire facility, it was shut down, as you can see in this article here. And so the outage triggered the refinery's safety flares, which is know, people saw smoke and flames around the area.
- 39:42Those are from the safety flares. But this refinery that was shut down, it's not just some little refinery. So this this refinery is processing around 275,000 barrels of oil every day, which represents around six percent of the entire Midwest refining capacity. And so Exxon says the facility normally produces around 11 millions of gallons 11,000,000 gallons of gas and diesel every day. And that, you know, gas and diesel is what's being distributed into Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
- 40:18That's why you're seeing some of the the pictures. People saying, hey. There's no diesel in an Ohio gas station or in a region. I think a lot has to do with that particular refinery being shut down. And so what's crazy is that it's it's like, okay.
- 40:30What happened? So the power went out in this refinery, which is already again, this is too coincidental for me. So the power went out, but the problem was that after the power went out, some of the pumps stopped working and some of their equipment got flooded. And so that's what happened. So they say that the basically, there's a flood water that over overwhelmed a pump at the facility.
- 40:51And, basically, as of the latest I could find reporting for, the refinery is still offline, and Exxon hasn't even given us a date when it's coming back online. So, again, this you stack these things on top of each other. It reminds me of, you know, a couple years ago when we had all of these food processing centers being attacked. We had, you know, chicken facilities burning down. You had beef facilities burning down.
- 41:14To me, this looks more like some sort of coordinated global attack, not by country a versus country b, but more like the controllers are working on creating a global energy crisis. That's what points out to me. And so, again, normally, if this refinery went down, America could handle it. But the problem is that it's happening while the rest of this entire system is under massive pressure. Right?
- 41:42Russian refineries are being attacked. Middle Eastern refining and oil exports are disrupted. Diesel inventories are tight, and American refiners are running at more than 90% 97% utilization compared with roughly 93%, at this time in recent years. So we're already getting pushed to the max. So, again, that's kind of the theme of the story.
- 42:04Any one of these problems is manageable, but when they all start happening at the same time, that's the problem. Now it's worth pointing out here that America is not about to just run out of diesel. And this is where, you know, things go viral on social media and everyone's kinda losing their minds, and someone sees that there's low diesel inventories, and they'll say, America only has twenty days of diesel left. Well, it's not really how it works because we do have a pretty decent inventory. Okay?
- 42:32So America has diesel in storage. Refineries are making diesel every day. Fuel's being imported every day. Trucks and pipelines are moving around the country every day. So there's no, you know, big clock that's coming down until America hits zero.
- 42:46The real concern is actually much simpler. It's that our diesel inventories are the cushion. And so when a refinery goes down, say, a hurricane, a pipeline break, shipping disruption, the that inventory, it gives you breathing room until the problem get gets fixed. And so we have that cushion. But that cushion gets thinner and thinner the more these problems keep happening.
- 43:12And then every problem compounds, and it gets worse and worse and worse. And so if we're looking at, again, going back into farming and food production because there are a lot of people warning about global famine, you know, I don't personally think that we're gonna be in, you know, global famine next year. I think we could see isolated areas. I think we could set definitely see food shortages. We could see huge spikes in food costs.
- 43:37But let's go back to just what's happening to the farmers. So I've got a tweet here. It's kinda covering what's happening with the actual farmers. So it says, skyrocketing diesel prices are hitting farmers hard, the effects won't stop at the farm gate. And so that what they're doing is they're referencing a short video here.
- 43:54I'm gonna play this for you because this actually just shows what's happening on the ground. It's a thirty second clip with a farmer, and I think he's in Minnesota. But this is this is helpful for me to watch this, you know, coming from the farmer himself describing how this actually affects his day to day. So I'll play this for you. Like I said, it's about thirty seconds.
- 44:14I'll go ahead full screen that.
- 44:16Speaker 2: We have to harvest. We have to run the machines. We have to use the diesel. So bottom line is it cuts into our bottom line. Things are already tight with input prices on the front end when we plant and everything is going way up, chemical fertilizer.
- 44:33But now you add the fuel in, it hurts during the harvest. The machine behind me uses 200 gallons a day. So we'll harvest for about thirty days. So Every day. Every day.
- 44:45So there's 6,000 gallon.
- 44:48Speaker 1: So, again, harvesting those crops requires diesel. Moving those crops requires diesel. Drying the grain requires energy. Right? Processing it requires energy.
- 44:59Then another diesel truck is taking that finished product somewhere else. So food definitely has energy costs stacked all the way through. And so if fuel stains stays really expensive, these farmers are being forced to make decisions. You know, maybe some marginal crop isn't worth another pass with the tractor. They might just let it die in the field.
- 45:21Maybe harvesting gets delayed because they're waiting to see if prices come down. Maybe the there's less fertilizer, right, which fertilizes a whole other can of worms with this, Or maybe there's cutting the acreage that they're gonna be farming because their costs are too high. So, again, none of those decisions means that America just runs out of food tomorrow. But those decisions add up, and sometimes you don't see the consequences until months later. And this is what makes this kind of situation kind of deceptive because the shock happens today, but the grocery bill may not reflect that for three to six months.
- 45:57And so it's just something to be aware of. But one other thing that I think is really important to highlight in the bigger picture with this is that the situation in The Middle East is not calming down. And I remember when when Trump first attacked Iran. I was on Tim Pool, I think, like, within the first week of that happening. And I I was kind of the only one on the show saying, look.
- 46:23This is not gonna be some short operation. I'm worried this is gonna lead to troops on the ground. This is gonna lead to prolonged war. And I I was kind of framed as the anti Trumper almost on that show, which is very pro Trump in a lot of ways, because I was kind of like, hey. This is really, really bad.
- 46:40And that was, like, we're one week into the operation over there. So but we're seeing that there is a continued escalation. So over the last forty eight hours, the military situation in The Middle East appears to have gotten significantly more tense. Now Iran says that it has intelligence that The United States may be preparing for another major attack. So Iran's military commanders are basically warning and saying that if that happens, they're gonna retaliate against American bases and American interests throughout The Middle East, which what's it mean American interests throughout The Middle East?
- 47:16Well, a lot of our oil sources, refineries, those are American interests. And so Iran has also reportedly moved its armed forces to the highest state of alert. So there's a tweet from the Hormuz letter that says, breaking. Iran has issued code 100, its highest alert level for all armed forces in the past hour covering the IRGC, the army and security forces per initial reports. Now simultaneously, it says Trump cut his weekend he cut short his weekend at camp Camp David to return to the White House tonight, citing the potential for significant escalation.
- 47:54Netanyahu cut his US trip short, to return to Israel the same day, and every US embassy in The Middle East has issued a security alert alert in the past couple of hours. And so this is heightening. Okay? And so even though so, you know, again, Trump cuts his weekend at Camp David short, returns to the White House on Saturday night. The White House isn't saying why it happened, but also that we are now we're seeing that there are reports of unusually heavy American military aviation around the Gulf, the Persian Gulf.
- 48:28So I've got a little, another tweet here with a map right here. So this is showing obviously, it's not gonna make sense upon, you know, a quick look at it, but I'll read you what it's saying here. It says that The US is now directly posturing for a large scale attack with intense air force activity across the Middle East and particularly near Southern Iran. At least seven US aerial refueling tankers are operating over the Persian Gulf while an m q four c Triton conducted a reconnaissance flight just in just hours ago. Iranian media is also reporting unidentified fire jets over, Banbar Abbas, though the claim has not been independently verified.
- 49:08The activity comes directly after Iran's Central Military Command warned it had intelligence indicating possible renewed US strikes and threatened retaliation against American bases and interests across the region. Tankers are surging. Reconnaissance aircraft are active. Unknown jets are reportedly over Southern Iran, and Tehran is warning of an attack. I think I even saw in the past half hour to an hour or sorry.
- 49:33Past hour to or so that I think there's reports of seeing smoke coming out of Tehran, so maybe there's been attacks that are already happening. And so this is, you know, this is serious. Right? So and all the while this is happening, the Houthis just launched another major attack on Saudi Arabia. The Saudi officials confirmed they've intercepted a ballistic missile that was headed towards Riyadh, while the Houthis also claimed attacks against several other targets, including Saudi oil infrastructure.
- 50:03So am I saying that, you know, World War three is starting? No. I we don't know that. I would say not at this point, but we're seeing major escalation happening there. And when Iran is warning that another American attack may be coming, at the same time the US embassies across the region are issuing security alerts, The American military aircraft are unusually active around the Persian Gulf, and missiles are once again flying towards Saudi Arabia all at the same time.
- 50:33I think it's reasonable to say that there is a risk of pretty massive escalation, that that risk is highly elevated. And so we're why we're even talking about this. Right? So we're already dealing with $6 diesel nationwide from the disruptive Middle Eastern oil flows, the attacks on the infrastructure, Russian refineries, now American refinery offline. So that's already happening.
- 50:58If there's another major escalation in the Persian Gulf right now, it hits an energy system that is already under massive stress. And so if you're asking with this, okay. Well, how does this carry out? What happens three, six months from now? I think the ideal scenario, if things go well, is the president's kind of sing kumbaya, and they start getting along, and Trump stops bombing Iran or Netanyahu stops bombing targets over there, if Zelensky stops attacking Russia.
- 51:33Like, if things just really magically start calming down, then, yeah, I think that we could see prices coming back down. We could see normalization and things stabilizing again. But every indication is showing that it's not just maintaining, but that things are actually getting worse and worse. And that's what concerns me with this. And that's what has me worried about what's gonna happen through a heavy winter, what's gonna happen, you know, right now during the harvesting season and with where we're going.
- 52:04But the the big thing that kind of with all this, and this is where my you know, I'll put my conspiracy theorist hat on for a minute, is that I don't believe that almost any of the wars that we've experienced probably in the last hundred plus years are just these natural phenomena where country countries are just randomly waking up one morning and start bombing each other. Right? I think that our wars are bankers' wars. I think a lot of the wars that we've experienced are the same globalist entities and and banking families and, you know, elites controlling both sides of the war using these wars as ways to seize resources, to put countries further into debt to the central banking system, to redraw lines. I mean, if you look into, like, I'd say most of the wars, you know, World War one, World War two, obviously, the Vietnam War, These wars and maybe I'll do a show on it someday where it's going into, like, the powers behind these wars.
- 53:03I think that almost everything that we've been told about the wars that have been fought have been complete lies, and that these wars are really being used for this central governance, these central controllers as ways to seize more control and create more crisis. And so when I kind of look at what's happening right now, I had to ask is, okay. Are we watching this series of crises that are unfolding, or are we are we watching that this crisis is being planned and used to build the next system? Because here's where this gets interesting. So during the twenty twenty two energy crisis, the International Energy Agency, the IEA, actually published a specific plan for governments to dramatically reduce oil consumption.
- 53:51So let me pull this link up for you. So they had this 10 plan. This is the 10 plan, and I've covered this on previous shows before. So, basically, a globalist organization, similar to COVID, right, event two zero one, all these things, they've already documented how to come in and seize control in the event of a global energy crisis. And so if you look at their recommendations for this, they've recommended car free Sundays, working from home, reducing highway speeds, restricting cars from roads based on odd and even license plates, like even saying, look, we're gonna be tracking what cars you're driving.
- 54:30So if you whatever, you know, car you're driving, you can only drive every other day. And so if you look at this and you look at the flock cameras, so here in The States, you look at the fact that we they now have a nationwide surveillance system so they can track everyone driving. Of course, everyone's been up in arms about the flock cameras because of our own privacy and because of how these cameras are being used by law enforcement for nefarious ways, or even we know they're being fed into the larger kind of military industrial complex systems, as a tracking and surveillance. But if you look at 2022 when the IEA released this report, this 10 page report, here in America, they didn't really have an effective way of tracking these things. And so if the energy crisis gets bad enough and they start saying, look, we're gonna start having energy lockdowns and restricting travel, then they now have the surveillance infrastructure to implement that.
- 55:29And for people that are say, well, Trump will never do that. Well, the COVID lockdowns were under Trump. Even though he was saying, yes. Okay. It's passed on to the state level.
- 55:38A lot of that stuff happened under the Trump administration, not to mention operation warp speed, which is that's a whole other can of worms. And so, you know, the IEA, they also recommend reducing air travel, pushing people towards public transportation, and explicitly saying that these emergency measures could also help put will consumption into a long term decline. Think about that. Right? If you look at what they're outlining here, they're basically saying, this is why we need fifteen minute cities.
- 56:09This is why we need people living in condensed urban populations, which are heavily monitored, where everyone's using public transportation, where you can't even drive your own cars. Think about this. This this is this is what I think this is laying the groundwork for. So, again, if we get into a genuine global energy emergency, they don't have to invent some playbook. They already have the playbook.
- 56:30It exists. And it starts looking a lot like COVID. Right? There's a crisis. We're told that extraordinary measures are necessary.
- 56:39Travel gets restricted. People are forced to work from home. The government decides who gets access to scarce resources, and the measures that are introduced as temporary emergency responses become the foundation for long term policy. But then that's just the energy. Right?
- 56:54Look at the food. So the UN, their, food and agriculture organization is openly promoting a future of agriculture involving AI, genomic genomic technology, right, CRISPR technology, satellites, sensors monitoring crops, soil and water. And then this summer, the EU adopted these new rules making it substantially easier for certain gene edited crops to be treated like conventionally bred plants rather than under the kind of label of being GMO. So, okay. Here comes a great excuse for them to roll out their food crisis and to say, well, look, because of the energy costs, because we're experiencing famine and food shortages, now we're gonna have to roll out this new food system driven by AI, where they're feeding us with CRISPR plants.
- 57:45Right here, this article was from from, just a week or so ago, saying that CRISPR crops are coming to Europe. He was saying why Boulder would be better. This is from Nature magazine, which, of course, is one of the globalist organizations. So now we've where we hit energy, we've hit food, but then there's water. And so what's happening also simultaneously in America right now is that we have all these massive data centers consuming huge amounts of water, polluting the water, draining the water system.
- 58:13And so okay. Are we facing what the is it a water crisis we're facing? No. They're calling it a an era of global water bankruptcy. So this right here, earlier this year, the United Nations University, they didn't call we're facing a water crisis.
- 58:29They said we're facing a global water bankruptcy. And they released a report saying that many parts of the world are consuming water beyond sustainable limits, and they're calling for basically what it what it describes a fundamental reset of the global water agenda, where they wanna start monitoring and tracking how much water you're using. Even if you're out in the country like I am and you have a well, that they're they wanna start implementing measures to monitor and to centralize the planning and allocation of water resources. Now I can guarantee you they're not gonna limit the data center water. No.
- 59:06They're gonna be look targeting the rural areas. And so, again, is this part of the plan to force people into fifteen minute cities by going and saying, hey. Look, Seth, you live out in the country, you have your own private well, but you're draining the same aquifer that all these data centers are accessing. And so since there's now a global water bankruptcy, we're gonna have to come in there and make sure that you're not taking too much water. Right?
- 59:32So, again, if you look at all this together, right, so the energy situation, Russia refineries getting bombed, Middle Eastern oil oil infrastructure infrastructure being attacked, Hormu Hormuz disrupted, Saudi infrastructure's hit, the American refining capacity under pressure, a major refinery getting put out by a power outage and flooding. What I'm seeing here is that if you wanted to radically change how people live, energy would be one hell of a lever to pull to accomplish that. Right? If you make energy scarce enough, then fuel rationing becomes reasonable. Restrictions on driving become reasonable.
- 1:00:11Flying less becomes reasonable. Living closer to where you work becomes necessary. Centralized transportation becomes, you know, very attractive for that. But then the energy then makes the food scarce. And suddenly, you've got centralized food distribution.
- 1:00:26You've got much greater government involvement in agriculture because it becomes easier to justify. But then you've got water scarcity, and now restrictions on water also become justifiable. And so what this does is that all these crises together create an opportunity. And this is what really concerns me is that just like COVID, when there is an opportunity, when there is a fear narrative, the government basically says, well, you know what? We're gonna have to come in, and we're gonna have to step in, and we're gonna be the people that can then help allocate these resources, the fundamental resources that we need to survive.
- 1:01:05Right? Energy, water, and food. And we're not even getting into banking. That's a whole different topic, which that's a whole other thing with the AI bubble and CBDCs and everything. So but, again, if you look at that, if the government now has this great excuse when I say government, I mean, the the global government, the the cabal, if they have all these excuses to say, we're gonna start taking control over your finance, over your water access, over your food access, and over your energy access, you've now got a ginna twenty thirty.
- 1:01:35You've now got the everything that they need in place for a one world system. But also, they've now got the data centers, the flock cameras, the tracking. They have all the infrastructure in place to make sure that they can actually implement all of these control mechanisms to turn everyone into slaves to the global state. And so, again, I think the crisis itself becomes the vehicle because whether that was deliberately created or exploited afterwards, the result could look the exact same, right? We're talking about less individual freedom.
- 1:02:12They have greater control over energy, food, and water. And ultimately, they have control over how ordinary people like you and I are being allowed to live. And so, again, if you look at what happened during COVID, I don't think it's crazy for us to ask these questions. Now as my final, say, minute or so or two few minutes of the kind of deep dive portion of the show, I have a small video to show you. And I came across this.
- 1:02:40I haven't watched the whole movie yet. But there this is a there's a movie that came out in 1981 called Early Warning. And I think that it wasn't like a Hollywood movie. It wasn't one these instances of Hollywood revealing what it's doing, you know, some sort of, you know, predictive programming or revelation of the method. I think it was a movie that was funded by Christians, and it was really laying the framework for a a warning of the the beast system and the one world system.
- 1:03:10But, again, I'll play it for you. I I wanna watch it's maybe about two or three minutes of it. And the idea the theme of the movie is that there's this Christian woman that knows there's this evil cabal that's planning for global control, and so she convinced this reporter to sneak in and film somebody. You got in, you filmed one of their meetings. And so this is a fiction movie.
- 1:03:32I think it's almost like a documentary, but watch what they're saying here because this again, this came out in 1981. Like, this to me is showing exactly what's going on. So I'll play this for you. It's a couple of minutes, but keep in mind, this is 1981, and look at what's on this screen or what you're hearing if you're on podcast listening, and compare that to everything that we're seeing happening, especially in the last six years since COVID hit. I'll full screen it for you.
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: I would like to thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication to our cause. In reviewing this year's progress, let me say that we have been highly effective in conditioning the people's minds to accept our solution to the world's problems. The energy crisis here in The United States was exceptionally successful worldwide, and we expect similar success with our upcoming food shortage. Our labor leaders have made great progress by causing confusion and work stoppages in all areas of the world. Financially, the dollar is being devalued even faster than we
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: could have hoped.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: Politically, the public has lost total confidence in any form of government. Threat of universal war is a daily possibility. As you know, we ourselves do not need to hold any visible office of leadership.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: As a
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: matter of fact, it's better that we do not. We control finances, news media, food, transportation, energy. We control everything. It is important that you, as world leaders, keep our program before your countrymen. With our World Bank and computer program operational, we now have the capacity to control the financial affairs of every human being on earth by giving each person his own computer number.
- 1:05:29Anytime his number is used, we would know his financial situation at once. He cannot buy or sell anything without his computer number. It will simplify their lifestyles tremendously. The end result will be a one world monetary and government system that we alone will control. Yes.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: What about the people who forget their number or their cards are lost or stolen?
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: We've made provisions for that. By using this laser imprinter, we can painlessly and permanently affix the person's number to the back of his hand or his forehead if he so desires. The numbers would be easily read by this new ultraviolet scanning equipment. For the purposes of demonstration, I've had such a number imprinted on myself.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Their
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: And able
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: to our a
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: We own. Own. Strong
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: we continue in our present course, it is my opinion that
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: we have could present the devil himself as a world leader, and the people would accept him.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: So pretty pretty good explanation, I I would say, of of what we're seeing rolled out here. And again, that movie, actually, I'll I'll kinda pull up a link for I'll show you. It's called Early Warning, and it came out in 1981. Let me pull it up real quick for you so you can see it. So this is here's the IMDB listing for so if you wanna watch it, which again, I haven't watched it.
- 1:07:29I I I want to. Here it is right here, called Early Warning 1981. It says the plot, a Christian war woman urges a journalist to expose a powerful organization's plan to control the world. Initially skeptical, he witnesses her being pursued, prompting him to uncover the truth about the impending end times. So pretty prophetic there, would say.
- 1:07:54Okay. So that is the end of my deep dive presentation portion of the show. I I think I managed to get a lot shoved into that little hour segment, trying to take some really complicated things happening and just break down just the simple things of how this all works and why the Strait Of Hormuz or some pipeline across Saudi Arabia, why these matter so much to life here. And so let's go ahead and jump into the kind of my favorite part of the show, which is just our time to hang out. And if you have any questions, if you have any comments.
- 1:08:40Yeah. I see, Eve and Eve, 666, wow. Yes. Yeah, exactly. Showing that, you know, it's again, if you're listening to the podcast, wouldn't have seen that, but the guy shows his own number in the back of his hand at 666.
- 1:08:55Yeah. Exactly. So anyway, we're yeah. So we're now into the the kind of hangout phase. I get to relax a little more.
- 1:09:05It's not I mean, it's not easy putting together these things and and, you know, spending an hour and making sure my mind is not kind of a a bag of monkeys jumping around, which it usually is. So it's not easy to be concise with this. But I I hope that what I presented was helpful. I hope that it was done in a way I'm not trying to be a fear monger. I'm not trying to say that we're all gonna die.
- 1:09:30I'm just trying to explain the mechanics of what creates a situation like this so that you can better understand it. And, so yeah. Anyway, so the hello, Rumble. Rumble chat. Let's go to YouTube.
- 1:09:45Oh, wow. Look at YouTube. Blowing up over on YouTube. Well, YouTube is just, like Wow, great new sub here. Well, YouTube is just going great.
- 1:09:55Let's see what we got. Holy smokes, almost 2,000 people watching on YouTube. That's fantastic. Wow. We got over two almost 2,000 people on YouTube and over 5,000 on Rumble.
- 1:10:08What a crowd tonight. Yeah. Wow. That's exciting. Again, I said last time, YouTube is really starting to pick up, which is great.
- 1:10:20This is good. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. So Bill Barnes on YouTube says, avoid that GMO food and grow your own.
- 1:10:27We do. Yeah. There you go. Yep. That's important.
- 1:10:32Yeah, the let's see, Teresa Chung over on sorry if I mispronounced your name on YouTube. Great show, great information, Seth. Thank you. Yeah. Vegamotto says, Who was that?
- 1:10:45Alex Jones crawling through the vents at Bohemian Grove? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
- 1:10:59Yeah. Actually, you're you're growing food. Yeah. That's that's the key. Actually, tonight or today actually, you know, today was a really good day.
- 1:11:05So I so we we planted three apple trees. We don't have any fruit trees on our property. We we only moved in about two and a half years ago. Last year, we planted three apple trees, and, they didn't produce last year. We got bigger trees, which I know is kinda risky sometimes.
- 1:11:22But anyway, so I harvested today. I I picked not today, but in the about two weeks ago, I picked probably 30 pounds or 40 pounds of apples off our trees, which was great. And so today, I may I've made probably four gallons of applesauce. It was really cool. My first time doing it, I made a huge pot of applesauce.
- 1:11:43And then, also, I went and, picked we made a I made a big giant pot of spaghetti bolognese, and I picked probably, I don't know, you know, two gallons worth of tomatoes. So cherry tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes. And so I I was you know, went out to our gardens and came in with, like, a big old, you know, kind of basket of tomatoes and peppers. And and that's, you know, that's that's what we're doing. Look, you know, six years ago, I was living in a high rise in New York City.
- 1:12:14I'm not kidding. Actually, I was in Long Island City at that point, but I was on the 41st Floor in a high rise in Long Island City six years ago. And I so, you know, I've made I've made a lot of decisions. My wife and I were on the same page, thankfully. And so we've moved a lot.
- 1:12:31We moved from New York City to Ohio and back into now we're in Upstate New York, which I hate New York politically, but we've got a lot of friends here. And so that we have a good community here. And, but, yeah, I mean, look, so if you're living say you're in a situation where you're living, you know, in the suburbs or in a city, you know, you can change, you know, you can make a life change and you can move the country, you can have more independence, you can have land for a garden. And it's actually, it's a lot, you know, it's a lot, it's a lot less expensive also to know, if you move out in the rural area. And so, we made we made some changes.
- 1:13:10And so now we we live we've got chickens, so we've got probably 30 chickens. We get fresh eggs every day. We've got gardens. Yeah. We've got a lot of stuff here.
- 1:13:21I see someone mentioning, Daisy Taylor saying, I had to gopher proof and deer proof our orchard. Now I have to buy heaters for the spring freezes. Yeah. So actually, our deer proofing was dogs. So we we I put in an electric fence around our main property, which is about two and a half acres of cleared land.
- 1:13:38We're about seven acres, so a lot of our land is just forested. But in our cleared land, I put a fence around and, the dogs are trained now. A lot of times they'll leave their collars off. They don't they don't go out anymore. But we've got two, lab retrievers.
- 1:13:51Labrador, yeah, lab retrievers. And they basically they they patrol their property nonstop. So the deer stop messing with our gardens. They stop messing with our landscaping, because we have a lot of deers here, a lot of deer here. I see NC Douglas.
- 1:14:08How can no one see the evil in this? I think yeah, I think that's the problem. I think that there is a lot of evil right now in the world. I think some can see it. I think the people that see the evil are increasing.
- 1:14:21And I think that once you see the evil, you can't unsee it. So that does give me a lot of hope, is that yeah. Yes. He Ty McColliff on YouTube says, my grandfather always grew his own food. My other grandfather ran a huge commercial farm.
- 1:14:37Yeah. And me so growing up, my I spent a lot of time when I grow so my my family is half my family is from Southern Ohio, more kind of Appalachian, family. And so growing up, I used to go down and visit my grandma Joy in Southern Ohio. And she's actually she's my great grandmother. So she lived through the great depression.
- 1:14:58And up on her property, she had huge gardens. She had, her entire kind of basement was almost like a root cellar. It was an old school basement. And she always had just shelves and shelves of canned food. You know, she wasn't a prepper.
- 1:15:12That's just how people used to live. And so I learned a lot growing up and seeing her. And then my grandparents and my parents, they both became less like that. But I felt that my wife and I were trying to go back like, I'm trying to live the way that my great grandparents lived. And and that's that's what we're trying to do in our own life is just live in a way that, it's not like we're preppers.
- 1:15:35I mean, you yeah. Like I said, we are preppers, but, we're just trying to live in a way that our our lifestyle in and of itself is something that gives us resilience and something that gives us security. And, you know, so, yeah. I think it's about just taking responsibility. Let's go back over to the Rumble chat.
- 1:15:55I'm just I mean, again, I'm, you know, almost 2,000 people on YouTube, which is just that's great. I love it. I I really, really love that. So, okay, going back over to, Rumble. And, also, let me know especially if you're on YouTube, let me know if this is your first time seeing the channel.
- 1:16:12I see that, you know, Eric Redd. I see, you know, you're here coming back again. I I love when we see that there's new people coming. I love that. I see someone mentioning bears.
- 1:16:22Yeah. So, Daisy Taylor said a bear took down a chain link, gate fence, like tinfoil, Which that's true, and so where we're at, we have, black bears. I mean, thankfully, I'm not living out in Alaska or some of the areas where you've got grizzlies. Grizzlies are way worse, but black bears can still be a problem. But since we've got our dogs, I've noticed that we have we haven't really seen any bears.
- 1:16:46I used to have issues with bears dragging my trash cans into the woods. But like I said, we have two dogs that are about a little over two years old, and they're just super high energy. And they tend to be more active at night, and they they sleep, you know, they recently, they've been sleeping on their front porch. They're they're full time outside dogs. I've got a heated house for them in the winter.
- 1:17:05But, you know, during the night there, I I I sleep with our window open. I constantly hear them barking. And sometimes I hear them barking, I'll go out with, a high powered tactical flashlight, and I'll see in the woods. I'll see, like, 20 deer in the woods, and the dogs are just going crazy. We'll have coyotes, same thing.
- 1:17:23So dogs are, yeah, dogs are, very, very, very good. I see red kitten pro tip, buy a 50 pound bag of rice while you can. Yep. I agree with that. Yeah.
- 1:17:34Rice is a big one. That's that's a key. Let's back over to, Mari knows, Good for you, Seth. You're the best. Oh, fir Okay, great.
- 1:17:43Hey, some some first timers here. I want to say welcome to, Meow Mama, first time. Kevin Voll, yeah, Kevin Voll, first time. This is exciting. Dark Side, first time.
- 1:17:57Mountain biker, first time. Last Call. A lot of a lot of, first time people. This is great. Wonderful.
- 1:18:04Christopher Redfield, Derek, first time. I love seeing that. Love seeing that. C g, seven forty says, I follow you both on Rumble and YouTube. Thank you.
- 1:18:16And I have to say, I mean, I'm surprised YouTube is not censoring like they used to, which is really encouraging because I've I mean, now I publish whatever shows I'm publishing, I'll publish them on YouTube and Rumble. There was a long while there where I can only publish maybe a third of my content on YouTube because I was covering, you know, vaccines. I was covering various things that YouTube deemed kind of bad. And so I kept getting strikes on YouTube, so I stopped publishing those shows on YouTube. But now recently, I published I published a show with Tom Havilland about the clots they're finding, you know, from people that took the jabs.
- 1:18:56And, you know Anyway, it's great. I just published a show about the new mRNA stuff coming out, and no issue. So, I'm great. That's great. I'm glad to see that YouTube is opening up again.
- 1:19:07But I will not forget Rumble. Rumble has been, really, really key. I've Rumble the Rumble crowd has been amazing. Also, thank you. I see there's been two donations, from Eve and Z Eve and Eve around Rumble.
- 1:19:19Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Really appreciate that. Believer 2,000. Yeah, who says, I feel for people who live in the cities, please stock up.
- 1:19:32Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah, if you're living in the cities, yeah, I would recommend it. And actually, so I guess two things. One is that, one quick announcement. So the Ark is, like, very, very, very close.
- 1:19:46Like I said, we're aiming for a September launch of of the Ark. I know we're getting towards the end of September. We are, like, very, very close. So if you haven't heard of the ARC, I'll give you a quick rundown for it. It's basically, we built our own private platform.
- 1:20:01And that's why it's taken so long is because we've literally, we've hand coded the entire thing. My wife in particular, we've got a small team working with her. But we are anyway, so yeah. So we're but we we're but we've built a private platform called the ARC, which is it's it's kinda like a Facebook, but it's a lot more than that. There's groups.
- 1:20:21Pretty soon, maybe even next week, I can start showing you some actual pictures of the app. I've already got it on my phone, which is cool. So it's we've literally got a we have an app on our phone. We have an ARC app on here. It's kinda blown out, so you can't see it.
- 1:20:35And anyway, so we've got that on the phone. And we also we have the web platform with it as well. So that's gonna have a community where you can meet people like, you know, all of us that are here. And you can, you know, you can connect with people that have similar interests in you that, you know, kinda the same sense that the world's kinda going to hell in a handbasket, and you wanna you wanna meet people that think like you do, that wanna be be more prepared to, you know, don't look at you as crazy for talking about something we're talking about tonight. If you wanna get on the waiting list for that, the go to buildtheaarc.com.
- 1:21:10We're now I think we yeah, we're we're approaching 17,000 people on the waiting list for it, which is really encouraging. These are people that that wanna join a community that they can meet people that are like minded. We're also gonna have a lot of stuff is not gonna be ready in day one, but we're we're gonna have a lot coming. We're gonna have we have an online university, so the ARC Academy, where we're gonna I I've kinda created still in the process of actually creating. We're gonna basically online lessons and training for water purification, homesteading, home security, guns, firearms, you know, basically, like, kind of a prep one zero one.
- 1:21:45So that's all that's all gonna be on the Arc in addition to all kinds of other great things. So if you wanna join the waiting list for that, it's just buildthearc.com is the URL where you can sign up. So buildthearcwithark.com. And then the other thing is that we've now kind of gone full full on, kind of effort into the book. So I've got my book coming out, prep like Noah, and we're aiming for a December release.
- 1:22:11It's kind of I've been spending a lot of my evenings finalizing a lot of the copy for it. We're now in the design phase. I've got a really good designer that's working, that's kinda doing everything. So, my book Prep Like Noah is coming out, and that's gonna be coming out in early December. And so that's what we're aiming for at least.
- 1:22:27So in the and in Prep Like No, it's basically it's kinda like it's the it's kinda preparedness one zero one. It's the kinda prepping book for non preppers. Obviously, if you're if you're what you could call a prepper, you're gonna get a lot of value in it. But my my goal with that book was to create just a guide, to create something that you buy, you keep it, and it's gonna have it's gonna hit on everything, whether it's food security, food storage tips, water purification, home defense, urban prepping, how to prepare if you live in the middle of a city, how to prepare on a budget, how to even how to deal with death. Right?
- 1:23:03If you're in a situation where the the grid is down and someone passes and you can't just call the mortician, how do you handle that kind of stuff? How do you deal with waste? How do you deal with toilets that won't flush anymore? And so the book, which is kind of highlighting all of that with a lot more kind of looking through the wisdom of Noah and looking at, you know, Noah who spent a hundred years building an ark before the rain even came. And so that book is also coming out.
- 1:23:28So if you wanna get on the wait list for the book actually, the the best, the best site is actually just go here. If you sign up for the waiting list for the art community, I'll make sure you get added and you're notified when the book is coming out as well. Because that book is my goal is to make it just a handbook that is a valuable tool that if you wake up and there's no internet, you've got a a book that's kinda covering all the bases for you. You know, community building, communication, ham radio, local radio networks, satellite networks, you know, raising food, gardening, how to preserve food, you know, emergency medicine, you know, how to calculate how much food and water your family needs, all those things. It's all gonna be in the book.
- 1:24:11So if you wanna get on the wait list for the book, the best thing is also sign up for the wait list for the, buildthearc.com. Okay, back over to the chat. Yeah, thank you. Actually, so, Kay, my Prep Like Noah, that website is not active. I had to fix my web form on the back of it.
- 1:24:33That's why I sent people to the build like build the ark. So, anyway, okay. Is this recruitment for a cult? I'm not sure if you're asking me that. No, I'm not forming any no, no cults here.
- 1:24:48I'm very anti cult. Yep. Yeah, grid down collapse, Hong Hong. I mean, I don't think that, you know, these things are out of the question, unfortunately. Yeah.
- 1:25:03So, yeah, there you go. Midnight shredded surfer, you need to crowdfund a fallout like vault for a community. I'm already thinking of that. You know, maybe if the book goes well and and the community goes well and things go well, then maybe that's why I'm I'm I'm already planning that, honestly. I've already been thinking, okay.
- 1:25:21Maybe I can somehow manage to kind of pull together and crowdfund perhaps and get, you know, maybe like a thousand acres in rural Pennsylvania and set up some sort of of community people that people can can buy into. And, you know, we'll see. We'll see where things go. That that is one of my long term goals. Honestly, one of my long term goals is to build some sort of, you know, just kind of real survival community that people have access to.
- 1:25:51You know? Because I I just I don't know. I I think that I just think that we're heading into some rough times. I'm not scared of it. I'm not I'm not fearful because I feel like that because I'm actually I'm really trying to act.
- 1:26:04I'm trying to take responsibility for these things, but, you know, I just you never know. Yeah. Good question. Christopher Robin, I wonder if Noah felt anxious as he obediently worked up. I mean yeah.
- 1:26:18Probably. Yeah. Probably. Hook 88. Cult I love a cult.
- 1:26:24Cults are cool. Yeah, maybe a cult of survivors. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, cult of survivors. Yeah, there you go.
- 1:26:35Yeah. Good point. Slab city. Off grid cult. Yeah.
- 1:26:41There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Bump bunker is only temporary. Yeah.
- 1:26:45That's mean, I agree, Eric. I think a lot of these things are temporary, and that's also why there's a whole chapter a whole section in the the book that's called survive and thrive, which is really it's like you can't you you can only prep so much. You can only have so many stored reserves of food. You know, you can only have any of that stuff. Actually, the the real thing is actually to build a life that is sustainable long term.
- 1:27:11That's the real that's the real goal here. It's not just to have a year of food and to have all the guns and ammo to protect it. The the real, yeah, the real thing is actually building survive know, something that is long term. I see a Sue Smith says build earth ships. Actually, it's funny because just I think it was yesterday, I was talking to my wife, and we're thinking maybe we could build an eco village.
- 1:27:37Right? We we we actually looked into building an earthship. We didn't for this our home week, it would have been too much. But, yeah, I would love to build a community of Earthships. Actually, if you're not familiar with what an Earthship is, let me find a, let me find a let me find something to kind of show you.
- 1:27:57Yeah. So it says, Earthship is, Let me drop this in real quick. One second here. Yeah. So it says, Earthship is a type of passive solar home built from natural and recycled material designed to be completely off grid and self sufficient.
- 1:28:19Yeah. Thermal mass heating and cooling, solar and wind, rainwater harvesting. Earthship ships are, like, the ultimate off grid way to live. And and we may very well eventually build an earthship type home. They're really cool looking.
- 1:28:32Like, you look at how they're built. Obviously, there's really fancy ones that you can get really kinda crazy with it. But they're just they're these homes that are built almost like hobbit holes. A lot of times, they're bur built into the earth. That's one of one of the features, but they're built with very, very natural materials.
- 1:28:51Go back to those images. I mean, look, my last name is Hole House. Like, I I think I'm destined to live in a hole at some point in my life. So and right now, I'm actually I'm reading my five year old at night. So we read books every night.
- 1:29:04I want my, you know, my wife and I both agree on this. We want our children to grow up, like, really loving books. And so as part of that, like, every night, I skipped tonight because I had get ready for my show. So I feel bad for my little ones. But, every night we read books.
- 1:29:19And so right now with my five year old and my two year old, just kind of sitting listening. But anyway, so we're reading The Hobbit. We're about two thirds of the way through The Hobbit. And as I keep as I'm reading, I'm like, I my last name's Holehouse. I love the idea of the Shire.
- 1:29:33Maybe I'm destined to live in a hole, and and I'd be so happy. I love cave like atmospheres. I love the idea of living in a hobbit house. So maybe, maybe we we end up building some sort of a hole house community where we where we buy some some nice land somewhere, and we build these earthship homes, and we can all survive together and live out the, live out the end of days in our earthship community. That'd be nice.
- 1:30:00But it wouldn't be that nice. It'd be frightening and sad. But, you know, it wouldn't be to find joy. Yes. Yes.
- 1:30:12Yeah, rebuild Tartaria. We'll be fine. Yeah, there you go. Oh, thank you, Mighty Mouse, the subscription. We're on Rumble right now.
- 1:30:22Thank you for that. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, ghost chant says, You guys ready to go back to the age of dying from scratches and infections? Yeah, that's a big one. That is a big one.
- 1:30:35Yeah. Which, also, if, you know, if you're prepping, antibiotics are a big thing. I ordered, I ordered a huge supply of antibiotics from a Indian pharmacy at one point, which through my, I used my doctor's recommendations, I'll give you the air quotes on that. But yeah, so your antibiotics are big. If you can, if you can, stock up on antibiotics, that is a, that's a big one.
- 1:31:04I'm not giving you medical advice here, but you can also get fish antibiotics. You look into that, do your own research on it. But a lot of people that are really serious about preparedness, there's a lot of things you find that they make for animals that is the same as what humans have. And so, fish antibiotics are one of them. It's kind of getting, know, ivermectin, you know, from Tractor Supply.
- 1:31:25So there's a lot of things you can get actually that they make for animals that, you can't get for humans. Yep. Tomahawk. Used to read to my daughter when she was little. She's a daddy's girl.
- 1:31:37Yeah. Yeah, I've got a five year old who turns six next week. And, I've got a I've also got a two year old that turns three on Valentine's Day in February. Yep. Yep.
- 1:31:56So, spick is prick. I'm not sure what's going on with spick guy, but okay. Yeah. I mean, actually, you know, so, you say Brent Wrenchen says corruption is so overwhelming that burning the system down may be the only solution. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying that, like, not advising for burning the system down, but I I I that's my thought.
- 1:32:18I think that, yeah, that the system is just so corrupted that there's no way of Hey, okay. Sorry. This guy's getting Okay. Hey, Kay, why don't you boot this guy real quick? This, Actually, I'll do it real quick.
- 1:32:35We have a M9999 saying he needs $50 for his grandmother's medicine giving his PayPal account. Sorry, buddy. You are getting kicked out forever. You're not allowed to come in here and ask people to send money to your PayPal account for your sick grandmother in India. I'm sorry, but I do not trust you.
- 1:32:54Yeah. Gray matters is which Indian pharmacy? I forget which one it was, but you can you can find them. Just just do some research. There are ways that you can purchase from Indian pharmacies, and you can get things that, are way less expensive here, and without jumping through a lot of the hoops here.
- 1:33:13So again, do your own research. This is we're getting into kind of questionable territory there, but I have had some success with that. So make what you will of it. Let me get a quick drink. My throat's, my throat's getting, it's getting raspy.
- 1:33:36Okay, see. Okay, State fan. My youngsters are both former Navy. Yeah, good for you. Right?
- 1:33:42If you have, if you have, you know, family that's, that's, you know, Navy, your Army, Special Forces, you're lucky. Also, yeah, ATLAS BEU says antibiotics kill gut floor. Be careful. Yes. I agree.
- 1:33:58I agree. Antibiotics, you wanna use very sparingly. But, you know, if you have a gunshot wound or a bad cut and, you know, you don't have access to modern medicine, antibiotics do have their place. Yeah. Also yes.
- 1:34:14So, g t r Andy says doctor artist artist has a product called bio defense. I use that with oil of oregano in place of antibiotics. They work great. Yes. Let me pull that for you actually, because, artist, We use that a lot, actually.
- 1:34:37So this is it right here. So let me pull this up real quick for you. Yeah. So doctor Artis I use a lot of his stuff, actually. I I use a lot of doctor Artis' stuff.
- 1:34:49So, yeah, this stuff right here, biodefense, you can get it from his website. It's the doctorartistshow.com. And this is we use this all the time. I think I've got a promo code. I think my promo code is Seth, s e t h, which will get you a discount on all of doctor Artis' stuff.
- 1:35:07Yeah. We we've got a bunch we've got maybe three or four of these bottles at our house at any at any given time. This is potent stuff. Also, I I really like his I talk about it sometime. He has this thing called Hydrate Complete.
- 1:35:18This I really recommend this stuff as well. This is let's see. Where does he have this? Hydrate Complete. Yeah, hydration.
- 1:35:30Yep. Yes. So these are really good too. Actually, really good for preparedness stuff too. Get some of these and just kinda store them away.
- 1:35:36What they do is that when you sweat, you lose all these nutrients, like 40 different nutrients you lee that your body loses through your sweat. And so, like, when you're dehydrated, it's not just that your body loses water, it's you're losing the nutrients. And so he's put all 40 of those nutrients into these packets that he's mixing this in water. There's no artificial dyes or sweeteners or anything. So I recommend those as well.
- 1:35:57And again, promo code Seth, you save save some money on those. Yeah. Doctor. Artisy, he's great. Yeah.
- 1:36:05He is a he's a good friend of mine. I text him. He's actually if we if I have issues, if my kids are feeling off or whatever, he's typically the first person I'll reach out to, because I know him. So I'll just I'll shoot him a text and say, Hey, there's this thing happening. What should I do?
- 1:36:22And he'll respond quickly and say, Hey, do this, do that. He's, you know, a smart guy. Smart, smart guy. Let's pop over pop back over to, YouTube. Yeah.
- 1:36:34Fermented foods. Yes. Yeah. Shaka Zulu Zulu, fermented foods. Yeah.
- 1:36:39That's a big one. We do a lot of that. I also I I use, the kimchi one from, Brightcore. That's what we have. It just is, you know, little kimchi capsules you you pop in.
- 1:36:53Those are good. Because, you know, kimchi's of all the fermented food, kimchi's seems to be, like, probably the best fermented food. But for a lot of Americans, especially, it's it doesn't taste that great. If if you know, because it's fermented cabbage and garlic and peppers and stuff. So, I I don't mind it on the right kind of a dish, but I take these kimchi one things.
- 1:37:11Just pop them in, and they're great. Yeah. Also, yeah, oil of oregano. That's a big one. Yeah.
- 1:37:21Oil of oregano is a big one. And yeah, he says, But does anyone actually know how to make their own if the world came crashing in? Yeah, That's a big thing, actually, and that's something I wanna start learning. I interviewed the guy that has, I think it's it's Our Father's Herbs. He's a I think he's a master herbalist.
- 1:37:35Because I wanna figure out how to make our own tinctures and, you know, oils and all that kind of stuff, which is really good. There's a lot of ways that you can keep yourself healthy through that. Oh, I a friend of, Tadpole. I'm gonna get the Hydrate Complete for my husband. Honestly, it's really good stuff.
- 1:37:58Like, I'm I'm serious. It's really, really good stuff. Do I see do I still have it up in yeah. Like, this is so it's it's like, I I I pass out to my friends. I'll say, look, you should try this.
- 1:38:09Actually, have two of our friends that recently gave birth. I gave them both a bag of this stuff, for, birth because it's like if if especially, like, when it's hot, if I'm gardening and I'm out, you know, for hours on end and I'm sweating, I'll literally you know, I've got these big kind of insulated bottle. I got a bunch of these. I'll I'll fill up a gallon of this and just dump, like, two packets of this in there, and I'll drink that the entire time I'm not working. And I can tell you that my stamina working outside in the hot sun is, like, probably two or three times what normally is if I'm drinking this stuff.
- 1:38:47Because it just, you just you don't have that. You know, when you feel like you're dehydrated and you're you kinda get foggy headed and tired. It's because you're losing nutrients. It's not because you're losing water. It's because you're losing these essential nutrients that are in your sweat.
- 1:39:03And so all the things that your body needs to have, you know, proper firing in your brain synapses and all your cellular health, that's what you need. Salt being one of the big ones. And so that's what what's good with this stuff is you take it while you're working. If you're out sweating or even working at the gym, it keeps those nutrients up. And I you feel it's not like drinking water.
- 1:39:24You you drink it, and you feel like your body is just it's almost like you're like, if your body runs on gasoline, it's like you're by pumping gas into your body. It's very different than drinking regular water. So anyway, yeah, good stuff. You know, promo code Seth will save you. You'll get some money off of your order too.
- 1:39:43So s e t h. Yeah, Himalayan salt and water, that's a good one. Yep, absolutely. Yeah, Tomahawk got a fermenting crock, gonna try to make sauerkraut. Yeah, we make homemade sauerkraut sometimes.
- 1:39:58Yes. Yeah, we do that. Yeah, salt with iodine is good for you. That's a good one. Yeah.
- 1:40:06Tractor Supply. It's also mentioned that their vet is now their doctor, which is great. I love that. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, honey.
- 1:40:16That's true. Yeah, honey from local hives is key. We do that. We get honey from local hives. Maybe next year, we'll start doing beehives.
- 1:40:24It's too much. We're just too busy right now. But yeah, our goal is to start, you know, beekeeping. Actually, my grandma Joy, I think she she she was a beekeeper, when she was not not not when I knew her. I knew her when she was already in her eighties.
- 1:40:38She was my my great grandmother. But, yes. Yeah. Yeah. There are there are you're right.
- 1:40:45See people talk about this. There's lot of fake Amish accounts. Yes. Yeah. There's a lot of fake Amish accounts.
- 1:40:51Yeah. All over the place. I'm not Amish. I'm not a fake account. I'm real.
- 1:40:56But I'm trying to live like the Amish. Yeah. Borax. Yeah. We just got a big old bag of Borax.
- 1:41:01That's a good one. Yeah. Flea and tick yeah. Flea and tick meds are dangerous. Yeah.
- 1:41:08I I mean, I I don't I don't take my dogs to the to the vet, unless it's for something that really is like an emergency. I I don't give them I give them ivermectin that we ordered online. And, yeah, I don't trust any of that crap that they they put into our dogs. It's the same pharmacy same big pharma runs the the pet industry too. That's why you walk into a vet, and it's, like, sickening.
- 1:41:27You walk into a vet, and it's just, like, big pharma ads everywhere. Everywhere. And they're always you know, it's the first question. Are your dogs up to date on rabies vaccines and this vaccine and that vaccine? It it's just it's just like children.
- 1:41:42YouTube. Yep. Yeah, there you go. Also, you know, sea salt and lemon juice and water helps a lot in working out working outside. Yep.
- 1:41:52Yep. Probably, I did clear my throat. Okay. Yeah, don't build a bunker in the Southwest. There you go.
- 1:42:12Yeah, there you go, great. Yeah, Teresa makes her own kimchi, good for you. And Faith is Korean, kimchi is good, yes. Yep. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:42:27Yeah. Make a refinery in the hall or somewhere. Yeah, that's one thing you do need, think, actually. It's key ingredient, is alcohol, just for making tinctures and everything and oils. So, yeah.
- 1:42:42Actually, see here, I want to address this actually. This is someone says, TMB 2,757. I drive a diesel. I'm in Texas. I fully support this admin.
- 1:42:52I don't care if I pay $15 a gallon, not rich, just because I know what is taking place and why I keep the faith bumpy for a reason. I'm, you know, I'm happy that that's your perspective, that you're fine paying $15 a gallon for diesel. If I you know, if you're getting into Trump, if Trump would have handled the Epstein files, if he would have brought justice for Operation Warp Speed, there's a lot of things like that. Maybe I would have said I trust the administration, but I've I have zero trust in the administration. I don't trust it in government in general.
- 1:43:26I I think that they're they're two wings of the same bird. I think that our administration is is being controlled by outside forces. And so, you know, I I don't I don't I don't trust that this entire thing in The Middle East was to stop Iran from having nukes. I I I feel like it's kinda fool me once, you know, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. It's like I feel it's like Bush weapons of mass destruction two point o.
- 1:43:51I think that the war in Iran has a lot more to do with Israel than Iran. And so yeah. Look, if you can be happy paying $15 a gallon for diesel, and that's where you're at, hey, man, good for you. I'm not trying I'm not, like, being, you know, I'm not being sarcastic either. Right?
- 1:44:12If you can sleep well, that's great. But for me, I just I don't trust I don't trust Palantir. I don't trust, Elon Musk. I don't trust, you know, big tech. I don't trust the flock cameras, which Trump just came out saying he likes the flock cameras.
- 1:44:29When the reporters asked Trump, you know, his if he had any concerns about, you know, constitutional rights and privacy, he's like, well, I like flock cameras. So, you know, I I to me, I I think that we're 1984 is being built around us, and I don't like it. And I don't support what's happening in The Middle East. I think that it's, yeah. So, anyway, those are my thoughts.
- 1:44:53Yeah. Teresa, love you for calling that out, Seth. Yeah. I mean, to me, looks like, honestly, here's how I look at it. K?
- 1:45:00You take everything that Trump has done. If you instead had Newsom doing that, right, if if okay. If you just take all of the actions that Trump has done and you just instead of saying it was Trump doing all these things, let's say it was Newsom. Right? So if you say, look, under under president Newsom, hypothetically, or Harris, or whatever, Biden, that we have all the flock cameras coming in, we have all the data centers, we have the wars in The Middle East, we have, you know, no justice for the Epstein files, all this, you know, you would be so angry at the government.
- 1:45:31Right? And to me, that's my litmus test, is how how do I make sure how do I know that I'm not just kind of worshiping a personality? How do I know I'm not just worshiping a person? Well, if I take that person's actions and I put a different person in that place, if I hate that person for the exact same actions, that shows me that I have I'm actually stuck following a personality. Right?
- 1:45:54I have a false idol that I am saying, I trust everything this person is doing because of something beyond their actions. Right? Like, you you know them by their fruit. And, again, the fruit that I'm seeing under this administration are the things I highlighted. So I see TMB says, did you take the bio shot?
- 1:46:16No. No. I have not taken a single, a single shot since I was probably a kid, and my parents did did it, like, in the nineties perhaps. But, no, I did not. I didn't trust it from day one.
- 1:46:27And that was always my big that was my big problem. You know? But I was a huge Trump supporter. And in 2020, 2021, operation warp speed, I remember thinking, like, what's going on here? I I couldn't make sense of it.
- 1:46:38And I think that now it's like you look at under the administration, they're giving, you know, billions and billions to big pharma. You've got, you know, Trump sitting down with with Bill Gates and Albert Bourla and, you know, Zuckerberg and, you know, you know, Peter Thiel. You see all this stuff happening, and and these people are there's just there's been no justice. And anybody who is calling for, you know, justice for the Epstein files, you know, Trump comes out and says that those those are no longer his followers. I mean so I don't know.
- 1:47:11Maybe there is some secret, you know, five d chess plan that I can't see. But, again, objectively, if I saw any other person doing these things, whether it was Bush or Harris or Biden, I would say this is a this is one of the worst, you know, presidencies ever in terms of our own privacy, in terms of you know, I felt that the the surveillance state is being built around us. And I've lost a lot of followers for that. I mean, I that's a you know, it's like I had a lot of followers that I think just gave up on me, they said, I'm a turncoat. I'm a black pillar.
- 1:47:46I'm just being honest. I mean, I I just being I think a lot of people I think a lot of people oh, thank you, Sharon. That's really kind of you. Listen to Seth. He will help you survive as well as educate you.
- 1:47:58And don't forget to join his art community. Thank you. I appreciate that. But honestly, I mean, I I've lost a lot of income and a lot of, you know, followers for not just blindly supporting Trump. I was a big supporter.
- 1:48:14I was very proud about that, you know, and voted for him. And, but, you know, I'm I have to be honest, and I can't honestly look at what I see happening and still just be someone that is just like, hey. It doesn't matter what this administration does. I'm just gonna keep cheering for, for this. And I think that there's I I can tell you, and I know this from you know, I I see a lot of the inside stuff of these systems.
- 1:48:38There is a massive, massive paid campaign for Trump influencers. And so, you know, I I don't I don't trust any of that. That's me, though. I welcome you. Look.
- 1:48:53If you're a Trump supporter, I welcome you here. I'm not gonna call you a a MAGA tard. Same one. I'm not gonna call liberals libtards. Right?
- 1:49:00I think that we're all just trying to figure out what's going on, and we're all, under the influence of heavy propaganda and social engineering. And so I think there's a lot of people that have been misled and confused. I mean, we we're you know, we live in a time of just great, great, deception. And so I think ultimately yeah. I think ultimately, we have to just come together as as humans that want freedom, and that's that's my stance.
- 1:49:29I'm pro freedom. And so I don't care who someone is. If there's anybody that I see that is taking actions that are that are lessening my own freedom, I don't like it. I don't like the anti Semitic stuff that's being passed around that they're saying that you can't question Israel all of a sudden and, you know, seeing a lot of laws coming into America, about that. I don't like that.
- 1:49:50You know, I don't so, anyway. Yep. Yeah. CBOI, you know, Red Kitten, I broke up with him too. Deborah, Deborah Irvin says, lots of us have lost a lot for speaking out against him.
- 1:50:05Yeah. Yep. So, yeah. I see. Yeah.
- 1:50:10Yeah. You're right. Deplorable, Kulak five says some people are just team red. And I think that's a problem. I I'm not team red.
- 1:50:19I'm not I'm team human. I'm team freedom. I'm not gonna attach myself to some movement, some external social movement, like a political class or whatever it is, and and say that, well, because, like, it's like to me, that's where you fall short. That's where you get misled is when you start identifying who you are with some external identity, and you say, well, I'm team red, therefore I will support whatever this guy does. And that's the problem is that, you you do that, and you become a you become a useful idiot.
- 1:50:52I'm sorry. Like, that's, like, you know, for all the people that were that were judging the liberals or judging people that were pro Biden or whatever, and I I see the same people that are just blindly just now they're just blindly believing whatever the FBI says. The same people that have been, like, questioning the FBI and questioning nine eleven, I'm seeing these people are now saying, I they just believe whatever the FBI says. Oh, there was a lone gunman that killed Charlie Kirk. There was a magic bullet.
- 1:51:17Nine eleven was done by Al Qaeda. You know, it's crazy. I'm seeing so many people that just take a a stance, or now all all of a sudden, they believe whatever the government tells you. And so, you know, that's not me. Yeah.
- 1:51:33That's not me. So yep. Micah Pittman, Seth, I've watched all your work. I'm from Louisiana and a prepper myself. Love your show.
- 1:51:46Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you, Micah. I appreciate that. Yeah.
- 1:51:52I mean, look, I'm I'm I'm definitely a hardcore prepper. I mean, I I don't like to you know, there's a lot of connotations attached to that. Obviously, with the crowd that's here, you know, people, you know, people understand it. But, yeah, I'm I'm a I'm a hardcore prepper. I've got six different kinds of generators.
- 1:52:10I've got, you know, big diesel tank of backup fuel. We've got, you know, food and and all that stuff. So, yep. Yep. Yeah.
- 1:52:22There you go. I'm team America. I agree. Yeah. You're right.
- 1:52:26Yeah. So, Seoul Yeshua, people need to wake up from that. There's no red or blue. I agree. There's no red or blue.
- 1:52:32I think that I mean, honestly, I think that the entire political system was created as a tool to enslave us to I think that that's that gets into the origin of of, like, what America has become. Right? Is that we're convinced that we're so free. We're convinced that, oh, this is the freest country in the world, yet we owe property taxes. We, you know, we get taxed on every single thing that we do.
- 1:52:52We have no freedom, in terms of, yeah, you you have perceived freedom. We have no privacy. Things are being tracked and monitored everywhere. We've got flock cameras everywhere. And I think that they keep telling us, they keep telling us that, Oh, America, you're so free, you're so free.
- 1:53:06It's like, well, I think that's part of the psyop, is convincing us that we're so free. Right? But we're not. You know, nineeleven was an inside job. Yep, I agree.
- 1:53:16I agree. Yep. Yep. I agree. Yeah, there you go.
- 1:53:28Shaka Zulu over on YouTube says, The Declaration of Independence declared our freedom. Then the Mason boys slap the chains back on us with the constitution. Research that constitution gives the government all kinds of power. Yeah. If you get into this stuff wanna mention that constitution was rewritten.
- 1:53:41I think it was in the eighteen hundreds, I think it was, when they updated it. And then they had the bankers coming in, know, the Federal Reserve. Yeah. We're not we're not free. We're not free.
- 1:53:53Yeah. They go, Mighty Mouse, team North America. Yeah. Party at Seth's house. That's the that's the concern.
- 1:54:00It's like one of the big rules in preparedness is operation op sec. Right? You don't talk about your preparedness. Well, it's kind of a double edged sword because I'm talking about these things because I'm trying to teach you, but I'm also talking about my own preparedness. So, you know but if you think you can come, I've got cameras everywhere.
- 1:54:20I got a lot of ways to defend the property. So don't think you can walk in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, believer 2,000 agree.
- 1:54:35I love everyone that loves this country. Color doesn't matter if you love freedom. Yeah, flock style cameras, Seth. Yeah, no, not flock cameras. No, I don't have my own flock cameras.
- 1:54:47I'm actually I'm getting even more cameras. Yeah. Not because I mean I guess you could say because I'm paranoid. Yeah. I I just I just like to I like to have security.
- 1:54:57I put a big gate on the front yard, so you can't drive down my driveway. We were kind of back in the woods a little bit. Yeah. So I've got a family I gotta protect. That's the thing.
- 1:55:13Well, let's see if I missed anything. I'll probably start wrapping up soon. We're going on two hours. What an amazing crowd tonight. Yeah, what an amazing crowd tonight.
- 1:55:22This is just wonderful. Yeah, still going strong over on Rumble. That's great. Yeah, YouTube and Rumble are both just booming. It's Yeah.
- 1:55:39Yeah, Soul, Yeshua, we are not free. I mean, to me, obviously, faith is ultimately what, you know, where freedom comes from, for me. But I think that freedom is being self reliant. That's real freedom. Freedom is producing your own food, it's knowing your neighbors, all those things.
- 1:56:01Lake VACM. Do you have a pressure cooker? Yes, we have a handful of pressure cookers. I've got a couple of smaller pressure cookers, and then I have a big, it's all American. It's a pressure canner.
- 1:56:15Yeah. Hey, there you go. Yeah, Sue Smith. Got a great Ubiquiti camera. It's hardwired.
- 1:56:20That's what I'm working on setting up is, is something similar to that. Yep. Yep. Yeah, there you go. Dear trespassers, please carry ID so we can notify next of kin.
- 1:56:36Daisy Taylor is asking, What kind of cameras do you like? So I'm looking into Ubiquiti. Because Ubiquiti so our I have, we have servers in our house that were kind of small scale servers, I guess yes. I guess you could kinda call them that. Anyway, lot of our networking is done through Ubiquiti.
- 1:56:53Our studio, we've got a big tower in my studio, and we run Ubiquiti. And the cool thing about Ubiquiti is that, you can build an entire offline system that's local. And that's what I like about it is I can have everything. It doesn't require logging in, any of that. So you can actually build your own local system, local network system that doesn't even, you can actually set firewalls so your cameras don't even touch the internet.
- 1:57:15And so that's what I'm in the process of updating with that is through Ubiquiti. They make good cameras, good systems. Yeah. Chef509 says, Seth is living his best life. Amen.
- 1:57:35More free than the rest of us, hard worker Seth. Yeah, I mean, in certain ways, I'm more free, but I've also had my things I'm not free with. But just trying, right? Yeah, we work hard. My wife and I, we both, we work very, very hard.
- 1:57:51You know, obviously, you know, we have kids, and we're homeschooling, and that takes a lot. But, you know, I'm not scared of working eighty, ninety hour work weeks. Yeah. My wife too, she works, she works crazy hard. She's she's been working, honestly, the I mean, I'm not kidding, almost since the beginning of the year when she took on the ARC project.
- 1:58:13I think that she is probably working on average eighty to ninety hours a week since then. So she is just, poor thing. She's kind of at the end of her, of her capacity. So, yep. Yeah.
- 1:58:33You're right. Yeah. MDM. You're you're free to not pay your taxes, so the government can take your property. Yeah.
- 1:58:42Yeah. Gray matter, is it the time to buy an electric car? You know, I I I don't I don't like the idea of buying an electric car. The problem with the electric cars is that they're all tied into the system. If there's if you could build like, maybe I would say buy an electric go an electric golf cart.
- 1:59:02They make some nice ones of those. You can get electric UTVs, but I would not buy an electric car because they're just they're they're tied into all the surveillance grid, and they can shut them down remotely. I did buy an electric dirt bike slash motorcycle, earlier this year. I got a, which that was kinda cool. It's a dual sport.
- 1:59:24Pretty cool. Pretty fat. 80 horsepower. It's pretty awesome for a little dirt bike. Anyway, so I did get one of those.
- 1:59:29So I I at least have a dirt bike with electric, and I've got solar so I can charge it. So I do have some transportation. But I would like to I mean, I would love to have a nice electric golf cart, or even better, if I can get an electric UTV. That would be great. But, you know, these things, they get really expensive.
- 1:59:49And, Yeah, Tomahawk, where do I find a wife like Seth's? Yeah. I'm lucky. Good luck, man. Yeah, good luck.
- 1:59:59I'm very lucky. Okay. Well, I think I'm gonna start wrapping up, because I've got an early morning, and it's been a it's a it's been a long it's been a long day. One of our good friends just gave birth today, and so we had their girls all day. So I think this morning, at, like, 8AM, I picked up their girls.
- 2:00:18So we had and I was on dad duty today. So on top of, you know, cooking a giant bolognese and processing all that vegetables and doing, you know, five gallons of applesauce, I was also watching four girls. A two year old, a three year old, and two five year olds, because Kate was working on the arc all day today. So it was a it was a long day for me today. I was kind of like breaking up fights between two year olds and three year olds, and I was, you know, doing drawing lessons, and it was a busy day.
- 2:00:49Yep. Yeah, Bobby Adams, I agree, nope, two electric cars. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with that. Okay.
- 2:00:59Well, I think that, yeah, I think I'm say, about off. Yeah, Michelle Bayko over on Rumble says, Hey, Seth, we're in a similar setup as yours in North Carolina on 12 wooded acres. Our house is Hempcrete. Wow, that's awesome. You have a Hempcrete house.
- 2:01:17There you go. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. The cool thing with electric is you can you can charge your own vehicle.
- 2:01:29Right? So Atlas, you say when the grid goes down, then what about EV owners? I agree with that. But I've got I've got enough. I've got a a couple different solar rigs.
- 2:01:39I've got a eco what's it? I forget what it's called. Anyway, it's a four kilowatt solar system. Pretty big thing. I've got a smaller 1,500 watt, Jackery as well.
- 2:01:53And we've got solar on the house, but I haven't got the batteries hooked up for the house solar. So, yep. Yeah, that's the thing is that, Yeah. So solar is that Solar is a big one, if if you can do it. If you have the right kind of more off grid electric vehicle, then, yeah, solar is solar is beautiful.
- 2:02:15Yep. Hey. Well, yeah. Jay Tambor, why are you saying wrap it up commie? Why are you calling me a commie?
- 2:02:22I'm, like, very anti communist. I I spent most of my adult life fighting against and exposing communism. So I'm curious, I'll give you an opportunity to explain yourself, but if you think I'm a commie, then you've somehow gone yeah, you know something I don't know then. I'm like, I'm like one of the most anti communist people that you're gonna meet. I think communism is just like the devil.
- 2:02:51It's like Satan's own political party is communism. Okay, yep. So yes, Remember everybody to hit the, hit the like button. Make sure you subscribe to the channel. Welcome all the new people over on YouTube today.
- 2:03:07Make sure you subscribe to the channel. My next so every Sunday, 10PM eastern, is are the live shows. I unless something crazy happens, I think next week, you know, diving back into kinda old world, history type stuff. That's my hope because I'm really, really enjoying that. It's a nice break from just the modern stuff.
- 2:03:29MDM, I'm pretty new here. Do you have any videos on solar? Not. I'll have some on the ARC once that's up and running, but I don't have any in particular on solar. So, yeah, E and P, yeah, Believer 2,000, one thing to work out.
- 2:03:47E and P issues, yeah, that's a big one. I've got a couple of Faraday bags and stuff, but, yeah, E and P, that's a big one. That's part of the reason why I bought a I bought a 9292, Bronco, which is I'm very excited about. But that was part of it, is that it's mostly EMP proof. There's a few parts on that that I think would be kind of messed up with an EMP, but I'm gonna buy some backups to those parts and keep those in a, like, Faraday box.
- 2:04:11So that way I've got my EMP vehicle. So, yep. Okay. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, calling Seth to call me is rude.
- 2:04:25Yeah, thank you. Thank you for defending me, everybody. Trust me, I am very anti, very anti communist. Very, very anti communist. Okay.
