  So are you prepared if the grid went down tomorrow?
• 0:05
  This Monday, there were a lot of power outages in Europe, and they're still
• 0:10
  experiencing these flare-ups right now,
• 0:13
  most heavily impacted in Spain and Portugal, and we're going to take a look
• 0:18
  at that and what all went down.
• 0:20
  And this is a reminder to everyone, you never know when the grid could go down.
• 0:25
  It could go down today. You never know. and how, what would happen with us?
• 0:29
  Would we be able to survive? Would you be able to survive?
• 0:33
  My name is Brandon Vogel. This is Evolution. Let's dive into this.
• 0:36
  If the grid goes down, what would your immediate reaction to be?
• 0:41
  I'm going to go post about the grid being down. I'm going to throw it up on
• 0:45
  Twitter, on Facebook. No, you can't do that.
• 0:48
  The lines of communication are down.
• 0:52
  Do you have one of those CB radios that you could start still have lines of
• 0:57
  communication with everybody.
• 0:59
  I'm like I am on any of my shows and I will always be. I'm honest with you.
• 1:04
  I'm going to tell you the truth.
• 1:05
  I don't got one of those CB radios. I need to get one.
• 1:09
  You know, if this turns into apocalypse now, I want to be ready and I'm sure you do as well.
• 1:15
  But then we think about, well, what would happen like food wise,
• 1:20
  water wise, how are we going to survive?
• 1:24
  You know, it could, would we be able to, as a community, as the United States
• 1:28
  of America, would we be able to get through it?
• 1:31
  And what would happen? But first of all, let's take a look at what actually
• 1:34
  happened in Europe with their power going down.
• 1:37
  And this is pretty wild. This is pretty wild.
• 1:40
  So on Monday says power is back on in Spain and Portugal, but question remains
• 1:46
  about Monday's blackout.
• 1:47
  It says, Electricity is pulsing through Spain and Portugal again after a massive
• 1:53
  outage knocked out power in both countries on Monday.
• 1:56
  So to our questions, it remains unclear what caused the sudden and staggering
• 2:02
  blackout, which plunged tens of millions of people into darkness and paralyzed
• 2:07
  life on the Iberian Peninsula.
• 2:10
  Authorities are investigating whether a freak event, a cyber attack or some other cause is to blame.
• 2:17
  While everything's going to
• 2:17
  happen, Airports and train stations are catching up with a huge backlog.
• 2:21
  So here's what happened. Spain's electrical grid was running as normal until 12.33 p.m.
• 2:27
  When suddenly it suffered a disturbance.
• 2:30
  Eduardo Prieto, the director of services for the grid operator Red Elytrica,
• 2:37
  said the grid recovered after the first shock, but a second disconnection one
• 2:42
  and a half seconds later caused a degrading of operating variables of the system,
• 2:48
  leading to a massive generation disconnection and disconnection on the connection lines with France.
• 2:53
  In the space of a few seconds, 15 gigawatts of energy suddenly dropped from
• 2:58
  Spain's supply, Spanish government sources told CNN,
• 3:02
  equivalent to 60% of the electricity being consumed at the time and the entire
• 3:07
  Spanish grid collapsed as a result. This is wild.
• 3:11
  And the only way I was able to find out that this happened was I saw it on TikTok.
• 3:15
  I saw it on TikTok and what happened.
• 3:18
  But how would you react if our power went down?
• 3:21
  We are so just intertwined with our power. Our lifestyle is so just completely
• 3:29
  controlled by the ability for us to be able to turn on lights,
• 3:33
  turn on our computers, turn on our phones.
• 3:37
  And if something ever happened, and I hope it doesn't, but I mean,
• 3:41
  eventually something will eventually happen.
• 3:43
  And this leads me into, because I'm all biblical and I'm all the Bible and I'm
• 3:48
  all, you know, looking for the signs of the times and all that.
• 3:51
  And I'm always wondering, you know, I jump into this rapture.
• 3:56
  I don't know if you've ever thought about the rapture. People like if you've
• 3:59
  seen, if you've seen any of the Tim LaHaye movies, Left Behind,
• 4:03
  all that stuff, you know, and I've always went back and forth,
• 4:06
  you know, or is that really going to happen?
• 4:08
  Are the Christians just going to be just taken out of this world before stuff hits the fan?
• 4:14
  And what would that mean for everybody else? Would people on this planet,
• 4:17
  if everybody saw suddenly all the Christians are vanished and they're out of
• 4:21
  here? how would they react?
• 4:23
  What would they do? They don't have a thorough knowledge of the Bible,
• 4:28
  but maybe some of them do.
• 4:30
  And like, so I'm thinking near term, like, because the power could go down before
• 4:34
  something like that happens.
• 4:35
  To be honest, I've never been on where I think the Christians are just going
• 4:39
  to vanish and we're going to be gone.
• 4:41
  I always thought the Christians will be here when the worst times happen.
• 4:46
  And this whole, the whole of Christians being taken out of that.
• 4:49
  It's a whole like theology of.
• 4:52
  There's the difference between Jewish people and Christians,
• 4:56
  and the Christians are taken out of, and then it's the Jews are here to fight,
• 5:01
  to survive kind of thing.
• 5:02
  And they're the ones in the last days because they're the ones going through
• 5:05
  that Jacob's trouble, tribulation.
• 5:07
  But if you just think of it just in the sense of what would you do,
• 5:12
  you know, if the power itself went down, if it just dropped,
• 5:16
  the lights just went off, you couldn't even go start your car,
• 5:19
  you know, say an EMP goes off.
• 5:20
  You know, we can't, every electrical circuit is fried. We can't turn on our phones.
• 5:26
  We cannot turn on the TV. We can't see what's going on.
• 5:29
  How is news going to get to us? In that situation, would you immediately panic or have you prepared?
• 5:35
  I have certainly not prepared as much as I should.
• 5:39
  And there are things that we should do. I think that we need to be able to know
• 5:44
  how to survive. We need to be able to know how to make a fire.
• 5:48
  We need to be able to know how to keep fruit food from spoiling.
• 5:53
  And that goes into like canning. If you've ever heard of canning and the foods
• 5:58
  that you grow, can you get enough to keep so that it lasts for days and days?
• 6:05
  You know, if you've seen, there's always these people that promote supply kits,
• 6:10
  you know, that food kits that can last for a long, long time.
• 6:13
  And that might be the best thing you could do, you know,
• 6:16
  preparing for if anything were to happen, you know, because if the grid goes down,
• 6:20
  it doesn't matter anymore how much you have put into just acquiring as much
• 6:27
  wealth as you can into your digital bank account or your stocks.
• 6:31
  They're kaput. They're gone.
• 6:33
  You know, they don't matter anymore. All that matters is physical assets at that point.
• 6:37
  The government, what would it do? You know, it would have to immediately.
• 6:42
  Initiate martial law, you know, it would, we would be in a state where it's,
• 6:47
  the government is almost a military force that we run into each day where we
• 6:53
  walk around, you know, I'm just trying to think of what it would look like.
• 6:57
  Say I step outside, you know, I don't have any, there's not really a store anymore.
• 7:03
  Maybe I think we would get all tribal, we would get tribal and everybody would
• 7:07
  start having to, you know, rebuild, you know,
• 7:13
  stores and commerce in some way, you know, what you would physically have on
• 7:19
  hand cash would be at that point because that's what people in Europe were experiencing.
• 7:24
  When they lost power, they couldn't use their phones anymore to buy things.
• 7:29
  It was whatever physically they had on them, physical currency.
• 7:34
  So that is also a very good thing to do to store up at least some of that if
• 7:39
  you can, you know, not have it all tucked away in the bank.
• 7:43
  You know, throw some of it in your mattress, you know, just for those rainy days.
• 7:48
  But would we, I mean, would like, I'm just trying to think like,
• 7:50
  what would it be like and what would life be like?
• 7:53
  I would say it would be smart to have a spot, you know, a spot picked out.
• 7:58
  Like if stuff goes haywire, because a lot of people aren't immediately always with their family.
• 8:03
  And if crazy stuff starts happening and we don't, you can't call them anymore.
• 8:09
  It would be smart to have a place
• 8:12
  to this is where we're going to meet up at least this is
• 8:15
  where we're going to get together so we can at least find each
• 8:18
  other but i think i mean the united states there are good people in the united
• 8:22
  states that we could come together you know that we could come together and
• 8:25
  try to work things out you know but some people would it could turn into the
• 8:30
  book of eli eventually it could turn and it probably wouldn't take long for some people to do that.
• 8:36
  You know, so it might be smart as well to stock up on some guns and ammo.
• 8:41
  Not me, not to go out there just to do anything wrong, but for defense.
• 8:45
  So there's a lot to it. There's a lot of things. And I'm just trying to think,
• 8:49
  how would I react if something like that happened?
• 8:52
  What would my gut instinct, what would my first inclination be?
• 8:57
  Because I mean, the whole timetable and timeline of when Jesus is going to come
• 9:01
  back, because he is, he's going to be here to see it?
• 9:06
  Are we going to be on the front lines? Are we going to be here?
• 9:09
  Are we going to be taken out of here?
• 9:10
  And then in between now and then, because I mean, it does seem like things are
• 9:15
  just getting like crazy heated up and going in a, an apocalyptic direction, like at any moment.
• 9:22
  And the only thing that is ever restraining it is God's grace.
• 9:27
  If God removed his hand, there are so many, at any moment,
• 9:31
  these countries out there would want to just unleash nuclear
• 9:34
  weapons at any moment they and they would and the
• 9:36
  only thing that i would say that is ever holding their hand back and
• 9:40
  it starts in their heart god is restraining their heart you know but when at
• 9:45
  that whenever if he were to remove his hand and let guys just be guys and just
• 9:51
  do whatever their heart wanted we saw flare-ups of that happen with hitler.
• 9:57
  When he tried to take over the world, he tried to take over the world.
• 10:03
  And I'm sure there are a lot of other crazy communist dictators that are out
• 10:08
  there that would love to do the same thing.
• 10:10
  And if they, they have their hand constantly over nuclear buttons,
• 10:15
  you know, but as Trump says, he goes, he says to the North Korean leader,
• 10:20
  he says, but my red button actually works.
• 10:24
  I mean, hopefully we never see a nuclear war, but it is always a possibility. But it's not even that.
• 10:31
  Nuclear anything did not happen. This is just the grid going down,
• 10:35
  power going down. How would we react?
• 10:37
  And we would not know, is it going to be off for a day, a week, a month, years?
• 10:42
  Are we ever going to see power again? Are we going to have to build it again?
• 10:45
  I wouldn't know how to turn on a light bulb.
• 10:48
  I don't know how to turn on a light bulb. I don't know how to make a light bulb.
• 10:51
  I don't know how these things work. And there's so many people,
• 10:54
  I can't believe people know how to do those things. I do not get it.
• 10:57
  And I have all this technology around me. I'm able to kind of operate in it,
• 11:01
  but I don't know what at all is going on inside of it. I don't know how this internet is working.
• 11:07
  I don't, I mean, it's scary to think the things I don't know.
• 11:11
  And I'm just trying to think the smartest people out there, the people that
• 11:13
  are putting these things together,
• 11:14
  they probably just know a little nook and cranny of
• 11:17
  what is actually happening in these these power things
• 11:20
  just flowing through and just making all this work this digitizing and all this
• 11:25
  making pixels and all that like but if you probably ask them they'd probably
• 11:28
  like i don't know i have no idea it's like did aliens give us this technology
• 11:34
  that we have are we experiencing a men in black situation that we have this or it.
• 11:38
  And when I say aliens, a lot of times aliens can be demonic,
• 11:42
  you know, I mean, that's where you always hear the whole Apple thing.
• 11:45
  You know, it's, it was founded on something satanic, you know,
• 11:50
  I just seen these videos, they could have just be conspiracies,
• 11:52
  but like that, you know, he, Steve Jobs start, his first Mac was out there for six sold for $666.
• 11:59
  And then the whole iPhone, you know, the Apple sign, the, the, the biting of the Apple.
• 12:03
  Did we get some of this crazy technology. Was it given to us from the gods of heaven? I don't know.
• 12:08
  I don't know these things and I want to know these things, but I'm,
• 12:11
  I'm these scientists that are out there that just know these crazy things.
• 12:15
  They know, have this immense knowledge.
• 12:17
  I bet if you ask them, they probably just know a sliver of what is actually going on.
• 12:22
  They couldn't tell you how their drywall got put up.
• 12:26
  They wouldn't, couldn't tell you how drywall got put together or how any,
• 12:29
  there's so many things that we probably just know a sliver.
• 12:32
  We don't know all the ins and outs of everything.
• 12:36
  I think we sometimes think we're so smart, but we're not.
• 12:40
  And sometimes people just don't say it. We just assume everybody knows everything
• 12:47
  about everything when actually we know we're too scared to say how much we don't know.
• 12:52
  So if the grid goes down, how are you going to react?
• 12:56
  I mean, it's definitely worth thinking. I mean, I might go full proper mode. I don't know.
• 13:02
  And I'll keep you posted on that and you keep me posted on
• 13:05
  your full prepper mode if if that's at all your thing because it's not everybody's
• 13:10
  thing so all right if you like this video make sure you smash that like button
