URGENT: Farmers Warn Food Catastrophe Imminent · Man in America Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse coming to you live from the beautiful countryside of Ohio. So farmers are sounding the alarm, A collapsing supply chain, skyrocketing fuel prices, fertilizer shortages, devastating weather and patterns, soaring animal feed costs, bird flu, swine flu, and spontaneous combustion of processing facilities. These are all creating a catastrophic food crisis beyond our imagination. And folks don't be fooled by the full shelves at your local grocery store.
• 0:39
  The crisis is just months away. So on today, we're gonna be going over this critical update. So before we get started, folks, if you're not following me on social media, make sure you are. I'm primarily on Telegram and Truth Social as Man in America. So make sure you're following me there.
• 0:55

I think you're gonna love it.
• 1:37
  And folks, look, I believe we have some very rough times ahead of us. In fact, they're already here. And as you'll see in today's show, many signs are pointing towards an utter collapse of our food system, which will certainly affect our financial system. A lot of folks are seeing this coming and are looking for ways to protect their wealth, and I've always been one to recommend physical gold and silver. And if you're interested in this, I'm confident in recommending Noble Gold.

• 2:48
  So again, go to goldwithseth.com or call (877) 646-5347. Alright, folks. Today is a what I say to be a critical update, which it absolutely is. And look, I know that if you turn on the mainstream media, you can go to the government websites, which I'll be showing you. They're not talking about how important this is with our foods crisis.
• 3:12
  Actually, lot of times they're not even talking about it. Or as you'll see in the show today, the USDA is saying there is no food crisis, and there isn't gonna be a food crisis. Right? And I know that everyone's focused on the fact that Elon Musk quote, you tweeted today about voting Republican and how's a red wave coming. And, yes, we're all focused on the things that as patriotic Americans, we should be focused on.
• 3:31
  But I think that in the coming months, we're going to really redefine what it means to be a patriot and go back to the original patriots that were able to survive and feed their families and sustain themselves, because this is the time that we're in. So I'm gonna start with a video, which is a woman that is reading a post from a farmer. And this is very telling. And so I please, please pay attention to this video. And if you wanna share today's episode, even if your your friends or family or parents, whatever, don't really like Man in America, or they're really hard to reach, just play this video for them.
• 4:07
  Fast forward to this little segment and play this video because this is important. And this is a message that all Americans need to be hearing, and really people around the world because this is affecting the whole world. But this is a message that Americans need to be hearing. And that's in a lot of ways why I'm doing this show because I really believe that if we can prepare for what's coming, it will make a significant difference. So once you go ahead and check this out, let me play this for you.
• 4:32
  And I'm going to go ahead and full screen this. Alright.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: But, she says to me, really, the cost of eggs for us to produce them is not surprising at $12 a dozen. A bulk bag of feed last year was a doll a hundred and $85. Now I pay $430. And God smacked at the comments on different channels about farmers ripping people off on egg prices. Shows people are not paying attention to what is happening.
• 5:08
  Wake up people. We no longer sell our eggs and will downsize our poultry again as we've been warned feed is going up again. Well, I will keep enough hens and roosters to increase my flocks again in spring for our consumption. The problem is people do not understand how their food is produced. What farmers produce this year is for next year's consumption.
• 5:35
  I roll my eyes when I hear people say there are no food shortages and our meat aisle is almost full. It's just fear mongering. People using their grocery store as a gauge of their family's food security will pay dearly for their ignorance. Yes. There is meat in store.
• 5:57
  Now look deeper. Last year's low crop yields, crop losses, and hay losses across North America resulted in massive downsizing of livestock across Canada and The US. No hay, inability to get hay or skyrocketing feed prices was the result of last year's harvest. First time, all four prairie provinces, and this would be Canada, were hit with losses at the same time. Hay never made it to market as it was bought up locally.
• 6:33
  Many farmers downsized, keeping enough breeders to start up again in the spring. This caused a glut in the market. Then late winter another downsizing took place as feed prices rose again. That is why you are still not seeing it in the meat aisle. Many small farmers were wiped out, and others can no longer afford to grow for market, both in Canada and The USA.
• 7:01
  We keep only enough to feed our family, and many other small farmers did the same across North America. Now look at the big picture. That many animals taken out of production are not reproducing this year to replenish the market. Not enough animals to meet supply demand. You are looking at eighteen months to raise up a steer and eight, ten months a pig.
• 7:30
  Don't forget now, farmers need to keep what they breed to build up livestock again if they want to continue farming. Feed prices make that unlikely. Many countries have closed exports of food. Same situation as us. Look it up.
• 7:49
  So no way to replenish the losses. It cost more to feed the animals than what you can sell them for, not including your labor and transportation to market. Remember those fuel hikes? Farmers grow it, but truckers haul it to market. Are you seeing the true picture yet?
• 8:11
  No different with the grains, cereal crops, cooking oils, etcetera. Now look at this year's spring seeding of fields. Notice any fields not planted? The cost of fuel, seed shortages, remember last year's crop losses and low yields, parts shortages, fertilizer shortages. What you are seeing in stores is from last year's harvest.
• 8:38
  You will see meat and other shortages by August. Not enough supply to meet demand and no way to import to make up for it. So meat will not be affordable even if you could get it. Poor yields and crop losses this year will come, compound this disaster. So, the next time somebody tells you there's going to be severe shortages come winter, believe them.
• 9:06
  Ask a farmer. Now, it's comments like this from farmers who are dealing with this. And yes, they may be small farmers. And yes, the small farmers are the ones that are gonna get wiped out first. But you take them out of the market, it certainly is going to make a big difference.
• 9:32
  And we know that there are issues with not enough chickens. Not enough chickens, so you're not gonna get eggs. We know that there are problems with baby food supply. And the list just goes on and on and on and on. And it is a situation where one thing affects the other.
• 9:55
  Obviously, gas prices are gonna make everything increase as well. We are headed for trouble. And how deep it's gonna be, we don't know. Can we survive it? Of course, we'll survive it.
• 10:07
  How much pain is there gonna be? That's the question.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So I do appreciate how she ended that. She says, Will we survive it? Yes, we will survive it. How much pain is there gonna be? That is the question.
• 10:24
  So folks, there's a few important takeaways from this. One is that you might go to your local grocery store. I do a lot of the grocery shopping for my family. So I'm oftentimes at whether it's Whole Foods or local Kroger or the farm market ideally. But you walk in and it might feel like, you know what, there's a food crisis coming, but, you know, maybe this shelf is bare, there's not as many eggs, there's not as much milk.
• 10:52
  And that's the thing is that for a lot of people and a lot of Americans, unless it's right in front of our face, like unless it's right here getting ready to bite us, we ignore it. And this is that's not how we've always been, but it's how we've been bred to be, you know, the the modern American, you know, we're focused on the modern conveniences, and you go on to Amazon, you press a button, and your package shows up tomorrow. That's just how we live. So it's really easy to go to the local grocery store and feel like there's not really an issue. And maybe you're hyper aware of this, and you're talking to your friends and your family as I am quite often.
• 11:25
  You're saying, look, you know, dad, how much food do you have, man? Like, do you have some canned goods set aside? Are you do you know what's coming down the pipeline, etcetera? And maybe similar to what I've experienced, a lot of people are like, yeah, you know, it's I've been with the food crisis, but I've got maybe, you know, I've got some extra canned goods. And a lot of people, they're not really seeing it, because they still go to their local grocery store, and it feels kind of the same.
• 11:50
  But that's the important point is that what we're seeing right now is everything that came from last year. And that's the point that she makes here. And my wife was listening to Scott Kesterson over at Bard's recently who's talking about how basically there's this eighteen month production cycle. And then a lot of what we're seeing now is, you know, was really started eighteen months ago. Meaning that the, you know, when the compounding effect of the Ukraine war, you know, the supply chain issues from COVID, all those things, it didn't really hit until the beginning of this year.
• 12:24
  It's really starting to to peak right now, especially if you look at the weather patterns that are happening in America. There's some really crazy stuff. It's why my show got rescheduled to today because there's this new storm storm called a Duret show, I think, which massive it's almost like a hurricane on land. I never knew about these. I never had these growing up in Ohio.
• 12:42
  It's a wall of rain. I shared some some pictures of it on my telegram channel, Man in America. Every everything is just upsetting. It's it's the perfect storm that's brewing. And so in today's show, I'm gonna talk a lot more about what she said.
• 12:57
  I'm gonna look at what the government is telling us to do, which is jack squat. The government saying a solution to, you know, to food crisis is make sure your kids are transgender. That's about where the government's at. Right? Or you don't don't you can't have a gun.
• 13:10
  Okay? So we can't rely on our government. We're trying to get into that. But I'm also gonna talk I'm gonna spend the second half of this show, and a lot of it's gonna be on the public platforms before we do the q and a over on Rise TV. I'm gonna talk about prepping and not just, you know, not prepping in the the broad sense about, you know, you know, water supply and guns, ammo, batteries, etcetera.
• 13:26
  But I'm gonna talk specifically about food production. Because I don't that, you know, while this is a big, scary, just monster that's coming towards us, I don't want to just come to here and say, hey, folks, there's a monster coming and hopefully you don't die. Right? I want to say, hey, here's how we can get through this. Right?
• 13:42
  It's gonna be difficult, but here's how we get through. So I'm gonna be talking about how to prep on a super, super budget, even if you have no money, how to still prep, right, and put aside away food for your family, all the way up to the, you know, if you have more money, what can you be doing, etcetera. Talk about what I'm doing. So we're gonna be talking extensively about that, because I think that that's really that's important. And the more you can get proactive in changing your situation, the better you're gonna feel, the happier you're gonna be.
• 14:06
  And you're gonna feel like, you know what? This is difficult, but I think I'm gonna be ready for it. But I'm gonna first jump into what is happening at the global level. Because a lot of these big organizations like the World Economic Forum, the WHO, you know, they they broadcast what's happening, and they will tell you what they want to happen, similar to event two zero one. Right?
• 14:26
  So they're telling us a lot. So I'm gonna take a look at this article, And this is from New York Post, and I'll pull this up for you. And this was kind of a crazy article, so food shortages could be just as deadly as the global pandemic. So what we have right here we're gonna just read this for you. So this gentleman is the he's the Global Fund Executive Director.
• 14:52
  I just wanna read a little bit about this because this helps really frame what's happening. So a leading global health figure has warned the next worldwide health crisis could come in the form of food shortages as the price of basic supplies skyrockets in even the wealthiest of nations. So Peter Sands, he's the executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. He's probably good buddies with Bill Gates. So anyway, he said he believes a food shortage could be just as deadly as an airborne pandemic if authorities fail to prepare.
• 15:22
  So according to Sands, after two years of completely restructuring the world upon the emergence of a respiratory virus, governments now have to prepare for an even more complicated beast. Australia is already beginning to see early signs of food stress as lettuce prices hit an incredible $12 per head. Imagine paying $12 per head of lettuce in some areas following the flood season. Natural disasters coupled with inflations and complications in the global trade industry could produce a perfect storm as the globe begins to find its feet. That's it, folks.
• 15:54
  It's a perfect storm. Let me pull this up for you because this is even more concerning. So here we're over on the the Russian propaganda website, RT, which actually happens to be way more truthful than most American media, where the World Trade Organization is warning of what they call a poly crisis. So you gotta love that though, these these these elites, if you wanna call them that, the scoundrels, they always invent these new words to tell us what's happening to our world. So now there's a poly crisis.
• 16:20
  Right? It's it's the first time in the whole world that history that there's been multiple crisis at once. So they're call it a poly crisis. And they're gonna say that this is the excuse for a one world government. I'm framing this for you so we're getting into what that means.
• 16:34
  So I'm not gonna try to pronounce this woman's name. So this woman who heads up the w two o says the world is facing a few a food and fuel crisis and export controls are making it worse. Well, thanks, Biden. It's all planned. So what she says, export restrictions are pushing up food prices and could further exacerbate the global poly crisis, World Trade Organization director general said in the opening of the conference this past Sunday.
• 17:01
  So according to the official, the world has become more complex since the last ministerial meeting back in 2017, given the lingering COVID nineteen pandemic, Russia's military operation Ukraine, and the ensuing food and energy crisis, which they all happen to be strangely tied together, almost as if it was planned. Maybe it was. I don't know. So she says, this poly crisis is really unprecedented, and what is very central so folks, just listen to this. Listen to what she's saying here.
• 17:32
  What is very central to all of this is that no one country can solve this crisis on its own. This is the time that you need the world working together. You need global solidarity. You need a one world government. That's what she said.
• 17:48
  Quietly, I'm sure. So this is what this is where they're taking this. And the the point that I'm really trying to make with this is that America's been through a lot. We've, you know, we've been through multiple wars. We've been through the Great Depression.
• 18:05
  But things are different now. If you look at go look back at World War One, World War Two, right, so there were food shortages in America because America was actively involved in both of those wars, and one of the roles of America in those wars was to send food overseas, both to our own troops or to the allied troops. And so America had to kick into gear to produce enough food to not only feed our nation, but also to feed a war that was happening on the other side of the world. At that time, the government started what they initially called War Gardens, and they became the Victory Garden. So the government was actively encouraging its own citizens to grow their own gardens.
• 18:48
  And it wasn't just encouraging them. And they were going to schools, they were getting schoolchildren involved. That's what said earlier, now, you know, now they're telling kids, you know, that maybe you're a girl, maybe you're a house cat, maybe you're actually a dolphin, right? They're teaching our kids destructive, terrible things. Rewind a little bit, and they were actually teaching kids how to garden.
• 19:10
  So because they knew how important that was because the government at that time cared for the people that it represented. And after World War two, during the peak of the victory gardens, these gardens in the American backyards, and they're saying, look, plant a garden anywhere you can plant a garden. Plant a garden. If it's your front yard, if it's your backyard, your side yard, if it's a little patch of grass out by your mailbox, grow a garden. That's the beautiful things with gardens is that food will grow almost anywhere.
• 19:37
  Right? And actually, like on our own property, we had this part of this this front lawn that was just ugly front lawn, and and maybe my neighbors, they like having a fresh mowed lawn, but we've now dug up almost all of that lawn. And we've got fruit trees, we've got blueberry bushes, raspberry bushes, we've got plum, apricot, figs, we have a grape arbor. So we're we're literally in the in the process of converting our lawn into gardens, and these gardens are gonna feed us, right? So instead of going to the store and saying, Oh, hey, wow, there's no more raspberries because the raspberries were grown in Mexico and the supply chain is shut down because the fuel cost is too big to bring a pint of raspberries from Mexico, you know, I'm growing them in my own front yard.
• 20:18
  But the key point here, folks, is that during those times, whether it was the Great Depression, during the wars, the government was taking care of its citizens. And that allowed the Americans to be resilient because we had the support of the government. We are in an opposite situation now. We are in literally the opposite situation where not only is the government not telling us the important things that we need to be doing, I mean, even again, even Trump with the megaphone that he has, why isn't he talking about this? He must know there's a coming food crisis.
• 20:52
  I'm not trying to look, I I have a strong Trump supporter, and I'm not gonna get into that. But it makes me wonder why aren't these I've seen so few politicians actually even touch on this, let alone the entire Biden administration, let alone most of the mainstream media where they're actually hiding a lot of this information. And a lot of these the media and my research are saying, oh, there is no food crisis. And here, I'll show you case in point. Case in point.
• 21:17
  Check this out. So this is the actual this is the USDA website. This is the official United States Department of Agriculture. You would think that if there was a food crisis that was heading towards America that was gonna affect all of this, that this would be the place to go. Right?
• 21:33
  You'd wanna go right here and read about it. So let's just say let's just see what the USDA has to say about the coming food crisis. Because I would think that as the the organization responsible for farming in America and food production America that they would be saying every American should be growing a garden to their capacity, storing food, etcetera. That's what you would think. What do they say though?
• 21:56
  Well, let's come in here. Will there be food shortages? Here's the answer from the USDA. There are currently no nationwide shortages of food. Although in some cases, the inventory of certain foods at your grocery store might be temporarily low before stores can restock.
• 22:12
  Food production and manufacturing are widely dispersed throughout The US and there are currently no widespread disruptions reported in the supply chain. Here's the here's the kicker. USDA and the Food and Drug Administration, I trust those guys about as far as I can throw them, are closely monitoring the food supply chain for any shortages in collaboration with industry and our federal and state partners, probably like the FBI and CIA, they're really trustworthy. We are in regular contact with food manufacturers and grocery stores. So, okay, great.
• 22:44
  So according to our own government, there are no food shortages. Right? Sorry, folks. Show's over. There's no food shortages.
• 22:50
  The USDA says so. Unfortunately, that's not the case. But this is a very telling point, folks, because this is our own government telling us. Right? And maybe you have friends and family that just they they just trust the government.
• 23:05
  Maybe they they trust them. Maybe a little bit they trust the CDC. You know, they might go to the USDA. You might say, look, dad, please, please watch this man in America guy. He he's talking about this food crisis, and, you know, like, should really be growing a garden and maybe, you know, maybe he then goes online and he says, well, son, I went to the USDA, and they said there's no food shortages.
• 23:25
  I mean, this is criminal. This is criminal. There's no there's no way around it. This is absolutely criminal. And here's the bigger point.
• 23:34
  Go back to Biden. Okay? Look at if you mirror Biden's campaign slogan. Remember what that was? Build Back Better.
• 23:43
  Right? Build Back Better. Build Back Better. You saw it all over the world. You saw all these politicians promoting their Build Back Better campaign.
• 23:52
  Right? Trudeau, Boris Johnson, you saw it all over the world. And it was all over Biden. Even the whitehouse.gov, it has this whole Build Back Better campaign promise. So it looks like though he's not really trying to build back anything.
• 24:09
  It actually seems like his campaign is more like destroy America as quickly as possible and do it better. Right? Better than Obama, better than, you know, Bush, better than, you know, all the others, except for Trump because Trump actually was trying to save America. But that's a different story if we're talking about food today. But Biden was part of the global ring of people that are pushing us towards the great reset towards the one world government.
• 24:36
  And if you look at the article I showed you from RT, talking about the WTO, the World Trade Organization, and how they're framing this as a poly crisis, and they're already seeding what they want to do. What they want to do is they want to basically destroy as much of the world as possible, our supply chain system, our financial system, and we're not even going to get into the financial system today, because that's a whole other can of worms. Right? But their their goal is to basically destroy all these old systems that we've really relied on that have allowed us to have a society and structure and growth and some semblance of happiness and and order in our lives, because they want to replace it with their system. And so Biden, if you look at what's happening, it's if even if you look at the food crisis, right?
• 25:26
  And I look out look, folks, if you're looking at the whole idea of devolution, is Trump still in control? Look, I'll be the first to admit, at one point, early on, shortly after the election, I was convinced that Trump was still really, really active in controlling a lot of what was happening in America. And I even thought there was a chance that a lot of what we were seeing happen was actually being shown as being allowed to happen. It was being allowed to happen to wake people up, to show people, so people would really want, they would really accept whatever came out of the election results, and the correction of all that, and the audits, and the cyber symposium, and all that. But what you can see right now is that this is not like, okay, Biden bungling Afghanistan.
• 26:06
  Okay, you can make an excuse for it. What's happening right now is America is being put into a nosedive. And in that nosedive will end up collapsing our food systems, our financial systems, and that's what Biden is doing. The the actions of Joe Biden, he's not just some guy in a latex mask that's like playing a role. He's actively like undoing America as we know it.
• 26:29
  And if you look at the food systems, again, the point being that, yeah, he's not out there saying, hey, grow a victory garden. Instead, he's canceling the oil drilling. He's canceling the Keystone pipeline. He's putting sanctions on Ukraine, which his advisors would have had to have told him. They would have had to have told him, hey, Joe, you know, if you do this, if you put sanctions on Ukraine, there's a good chance that Russia is gonna sorry, not not Ukraine, but sanctions on Russia, right?
• 26:58
  If you if you put in place these Russia, these sanctions on Russia, they're gonna they're gonna respond, and they're probably going to collapse our food system because we actually get a lot of our fertilizer from them. So the government is not here to help us like they were in the first half of the last century, beginning of last century. And in fact, they're playing the opposite role. And so I'm sure that if you've been watching Man in America, and you know, as you are right now, you're probably not one of these people that's pro government anyway. So you're probably like, hey, I want my second amendment.
• 27:29
  I want, you know, less government. But so I want to talk more now, because I could keep going into all the crazy things about why there is a food crisis coming. As I mentioned before, you know, we had even animal feed costs like like she said in the video, that the feed that she was buying, the one was buying for her chickens used to be around $180 for whatever quantity, maybe it was 500 pounds, I forget what it was. It's now over $400. My wife and I are experiencing the same thing and trying to buy feed for our chickens.
• 27:59
  It's it's doubling price. It's doubling price. So right now you can go to the grocery store and you can buy a dozen eggs for $3.50. But as she said in that video, could eggs could very well be $12, a dollar an egg by the end of the year. And it's not just eggs.
• 28:14
  This it has a domino effect on everything. So this is this is very, very real. But we have to look at this and say, okay, what can we do? Right? How can we prepare for this?
• 28:28
  Because, look, we are Americans. And I think that there are a large portion of Americans that are actually awake, and that they're aware. Look, where I live out in the country, I can tell you there's so many Americans that see what's happening. And so many of the folks I talked to, they see exactly what's happening, and they're preparing for it. So I know why I know that if you look turn on, you know, the TV, or you see, you know, flicking through social media, and you see that Christina Aguilera is out there wearing a, like a dildo, doing some disgusting thing at a gay pride celebration in California.
• 29:02
  It feels sometimes like that's the cultural trend and the cultural tone of America. And that's depressing. Because you look at them like this isn't my country. But actually, reality is in my experience too, is that when you go out in there in the world, especially if you live, you know, live in a more rural area, that Americans are they're resilient, and they're fighting and they really, really, really want to take control of this country again. I think that we will.
• 29:24
  But again, it's gonna be some difficult times ahead of us. So I want to spend the next, you know, kind of portion of today's show really talking about the fundamentals of food security. Because I think, and again, looking at timeline, and this is the question I see a lot of people that are asking, like, well, when is this gonna hit? When are we gonna see this? My personal assessment based upon research, you know, from women like this or other things I'm researching as well.
• 29:51
  I think that what we're going to see is as we head into the fall, that you're going to see a definitely gonna see a change in your grocery stores. It's not I'm not gonna say it's gonna be an empty store. But you're gonna realize that that bread you usually like to buy, no longer making it. Those chips you like, no longer there. The ice cream no longer there.
• 30:07
  You're gonna look at the egg section, and you're gonna see, oh, there's half the normal amount of eggs. You're probably already seeing that. But what I do think is going to happen, and this is why it's important to prepare now while we can, is I think that stores are going to start rationing. And this is that's going to be the big thing. Because right now, you know, I can go to the grocery store, and if if butter is on sale, like I happen to like Kerrygold butter, so if butter is $3 for a little eight ounce bar as opposed to $4.50, I might buy like 30 of those things of butter because I have to stick them in the freezer, and I have butter, right?
• 30:43
  But the problem is what we're gonna start seeing, and what we're already seeing is you're gonna go to the grocery store, and it's gonna say due to supply chain issues, or however they phrase it, that there's a limit of two purchases of butter, two purchases of milk, you're even going to see it with canned food. You know, again, now you can go to Kroger or whatever, know, Kroger's more of a Midwestern grocery store, wherever you go to in your area. And maybe you can buy a can of beans, organic beans for a dollar. Okay, great. You know, you can spend $50, buy 50 cans of beans, stick those in your basement somewhere.
• 31:14
  Great. But you're gonna see pretty soon, if not already happening, they're gonna say look, there's a limit of two cans of beans per person. And this is gonna make it really difficult because even if you want to be proactive, and you want to start putting aside some food for your family, well, if you can only buy two cans of beans at once, it's gonna be real tough to build up a supply of that, right? So that's why right now is the important time to look at this. So I want to look at just a few basics of food security.
• 31:45
  Now, the most important aspect of food security in my own opinion is learning how to grow your own food. Now, let's say that you live in an apartment. Well, you can get little hydroponic indoor systems. If you have even a window, you can use a light from the window. There are so many things that you can do even in a little apartment.
• 32:06
  You not to mention sprouting. So you can have a little sprouting setup. There is a channel which I'll share again on my telegram. There's a guy named William Welker, who is a fantastic, fantastic resource. And he has a few different channels on telegram.
• 32:21
  He goes all into this, but sprouting is something you can do, which requires very, very little space. It's very inexpensive, but they're so nutritionally dense, the sprouts that you grow, that they can really play a major role in feeding your family. The other thing is I have a lot of people that are commenting, and they'll say, look, I'm on a really, really, really tight budget. Like, I can't afford to buy any extra food. That's what I wanted to talk about first with the overall food, you know, kind of food production is that there are definitely resources that you can use.
• 32:52
  And look, if you are truly, if you're truly like at poverty level, say you've got four kids, and you're making, you know, $18,000 a year in a small area, whatever it looks like, you can even go to local food banks. You can go to local food bank, you can get canned goods there, you can sign up, you can try to get on to EBT or SNAP. And look, I'm not one to encourage, you know, kind of suckling off the welfare teat of the government. But if you're a hardworking American, you're trying to get by and we know that the government has intentionally put us under the boot, and they've made it really difficult for us. You know, if you're going and you're using your EBT, and you're strategically getting canned goods and dry food, so that you can store those away for your family, good for you.
• 33:35
  Look, I'm all for trying to take advantage of the government when they give us the opportunity to, right? Because they've, all the robbery and the taxation from us, like we'll never be able to reclaim all that. So if you have an opportunity like that, if you're really in that kind of situation, that's your only option, please go do that. One of the but anyway, back what I was talking about with gardening, though. Gardening is one of the most important skills that you can learn.
• 34:01
  And you can start learning right now, even if you've never done it. There are so many books and resources and blogs about it. Please, please, please try to start your own garden. If you want a good book, I brought a few books to show you. This is one excellent book.
• 34:16
  It's called How to Grow More Vegetables. Right? You can find this online all over the place. And if you need to just search for how to so next, you know, so how to grow more vegetables, you can find that book all over the place. That's a great, great book.
• 34:34
  And there's there's so many books that are just like this that will show you the fundamentals of how to get gardening. So I was gonna show you a video, but didn't really turn out right, which we'll be doing that in the future. I'll be showing you more videos. If you follow me on Telegram, I can show you, I gave you a little, you know, tour of our raised bed gardening system. So it's something that we're taking very seriously, I'm trying really hard to inspire people to get their garden started, because you'll be amazed.
• 34:58
  You'll be amazed, like even like kale, we have these, you know, kale seeds, they're tiny little seeds, and Kate had, you know, grown some indoors, got them started, you know, heading into the winters with some little, you know, basic grow lights. We now have a garden of kale outside that is producing more kale than we can even eat. I mean, it's like overflowing. We're making kale salads, making sauteed kale. It's just it's incredible how with these little seeds that God gave us, that nature will give so much back to us.
• 35:30
  So gardening is such an important part of this. And if you can learn to garden, even planting fruit trees, planting berry berry bushes, raspberries, blueberries, you can go to Lowe's and Home Depot, like I just finished putting in 12 grape plants. These great plants, I think were like $7 a piece. And they won't produce this year, but next year, they'll be producing grapes. So again, if there is food shortages, which are coming down the pipeline, if you can grow your own food, not only will you be able to feed your family, but think about this.
• 36:02
  Think about this. If you raise your own chickens, which we do, we've got, they keep replicating because the eggs are hatching. But if you have your own chickens, well, if eggs are $12 a dozen by the end of the year, and you need an extra source of income, and say you've got 25 or 30 chickens, and those chickens are giving you 15 to 20 eggs a day, maybe you can start selling some of your eggs to your neighbors, right? So there's gonna be a lot of opportunities if you're industrious, and you really want to put the time into it, that you can do this. It's really, really key.
• 36:31
  And if you have any questions about chickens, there's also on Telegram, I will share, there's a really fantastic chicken group that I follow called Make Chickens Great Again. It's a wonderful group. But you can learn even it look, even if you have a small amount of space, you can even raise quail, right? Quail is another bird that they're prolific in their egg laying, you can eat them. So the key though, is that whether it's gardening, or starting to look at raising small animals, or you're looking to raising rabbits per meat, which is a fantastic meat source.
• 37:00
  These are all ways that we can become self sufficient, which is really, really important. Because if you look at what's happening globally, right, when when they're trying to collapse these systems, that collapse of that system will affect you to the degree that you're dependent on that system. So for people that are, you're not producing their own food at all, say they go to the grocery store every two or three days, and they just go there and they're buying whatever they need. That grocery store never really carries more than a couple days worth of food. So what happens after a true collapses of the supply system, that store could be empty in a couple of days.
• 37:36
  So if you're someone that is thinking like that, you can really do so much for yourself to prepare for whatever is coming. So the other thing I want to talk about though, is just how you're eating. And this is a key, right? This is a very, very important thing because if you look back, one of the best resources I recommend is just reading up on what people were doing during the Great Depression. So I have a book here to show you.
• 37:59
  This is called Clara's Kitchen. And it's it is wisdom, memories, and recipes from the Great Depression. Hold up so you can see it there in focus. So, Clara's Kitchen. Now, this is just one of many books that go into what life was like during the Great Depression, but more importantly, how they ate during the Great Depression.
• 38:19
  So this is a key. So if you're used to if say you're, you know, for your family's groceries, you're used to going to the grocery store, say once a week, and you're buying, you know, pre made meals or whatever you're buying. If you look into your pantry, and you see labels and labels and labels, like you're buying a lot of food that's already been processed, that's going to be the much more expensive food. If you look into our pantry, what you mostly see is giant glass jars, whether they're half gallon or gallon or more of just raw materials, dried beans, flour. We've got a kombucha, we do homemade kombucha.
• 38:55
  Spices. Spices are an absolute key in making your your rice and your beans taste good. Right? And also, there's all kinds of medicinal benefits to spices as well. But the point is, is that going back to the depression or cooking, or say you watch Little House on the Prairie, their food requirements were so simple.
• 39:15
  And if you can change even how you feed your family, it can make a drastic difference in what you're able to preserve and what you're able to set aside and how you'll fare if there is a during the time of a food crisis. Like as an example, you know, you can make egg noodles. Egg noodles are very, very simple. I make them sometimes, and they're fantastic. It's literally just egg, flour, and water.
• 39:40
  You mix them together, and you can fry them up, you can boil them, you can there's all kinds of things you can do with them. But if you go back to that way of thinking, you know, and I have some examples to show you here, because I want to pull up something shortly. So looking at purchasing, right, you can go to Costco, and you can buy right here, you can this is for $13 you can get 25 pounds of flour. Right? So I see there's a lot of people that are saying I can't afford to prep.
• 40:09
  It's like, for $13 you can buy 25 pounds of flour. So if you learn to bake bread, if you get a starter, like this is that we do every other day, we've got a fresh sourdough, beautiful sourdough loaf coming out of the oven. Because Kate, she found a starter on eBay, Starters Anywhere for next to nothing. And if you do that these sourdough method, it's really, really easy. All you're doing is you're taking your bread and you're adding flour and water, and that's all it takes.
• 40:38
  And then you bake it and salt, which is you know, that's everything to stock up on is salt. So if you can learn these more traditional ways of eating, you know, you'll find that is let's just say you spend $100 on some basic food supplies like you know, flour, salt, etc. That hundred dollars could could actually probably give you $500 or a thousand dollars worth of food that you're currently purchasing. So this is a big this is a big thing in shifting how you're approaching eating. Now another thing is that so here we had flour.
• 41:12
  So rice, again, right here, this is just, you know, in Costco, is you can get here, this is a 25 pound or this is a 20 pound bag of rice for $22. Now I'm seeing the rice prices are slowly increasing, but again, now that this is dry rice. This is 20 pounds of dry rice. If you have that, say you have some canned beans, you add some spices to it, say you buy some chicken broth, which has a really long sell shelf life, pour that in, you can really learn to feed your family for so much less than what you're probably used to. Now, the other thing actually, I had one on our website to show you when I was talking about gardening is seeds.
• 41:48
  So when you're looking into growing, seeds are gold. Now this is a website that I use. It's called Fedco seeds. I use them, I think actually my sister who's a fantastic gardener, she recommended them at one point. But we get really, really good germination seed results here.
• 42:06
  So if you plant, say, 25 seeds, probably 22 of them will sprout as long as you have the right sprouting conditions, which is a different new kind of lesson and skill to learn and to research. But this is where we've had a lot of luck with seeds. And so here, you can buy, not going into the details of it, but you could buy perhaps, say you can get, you know, 200 seeds for bush beans, and it might cost you $8, or 10 or $5 or $10 for 200 seeds. Those seeds will give you so much. Those seeds will give back to you so much.
• 42:39
  So this is another just really, really important point is that you go back to the basics. Right? To go forward, we have to go backwards. There was a there was a an old legend a Chinese kind of Taoist master named Zhang Guo Lao. And this guy would always his kind of thing, the guy would always ride his donkey backwards.
• 43:00
  So you know, while we would ride donkey, you're facing forward, he was always facing backwards. And people didn't understand why he did that. But what he was doing is he was showing is that when you're going forward, you're actually going backwards. And it was really a lesson that he was trying to impart to humans, that the more you're advancing nature and away from tradition, you're actually going backwards. So it feels like we're going forward.
• 43:25
  And I think that that's a in a lot of ways, that's the time that we're in right now. We're in this period of time where we are, you could call it a reset, though I hate using the whole great reset, but humanity has gone very, very far away from its tradition. We've gotten very far away from our roots. A lot of us don't know how to grow food anymore. A lot of us don't know how to do basic tasks anymore.
• 43:47
  Doesn't mean we can't learn. But the humankind, which is really in a lot of ways been guided by very dark forces through the media, through Hollywood, through culture, through the educational system, they have really, really deliberately been leading us away from God and away from tradition, and away from the the way of life that God imparted to us. And so while it's really frightening, this time that we're entering into, when you think about food crisis, or financial collapse, or all that, In a lot of ways, if you look at it, what's really what's collapsing is the modern system. And what's collapsing is their system. Even the food systems, what's collapsing is the giant Monsanto monocrop food system.
• 44:35
  Now, of course, small farms are having a really difficult time because they're still relying on the grains and the fertilizer, etc. But in reality, it's this giant system that they've built to control us because, you know, they want to herd us into their way of controlling the earth through their central banking, you know, digital currency, through the blockchain tracking, so they see exactly what you're eating through the social credit system. So they're trying to move us into that. But what I actually believe is happening is that we're going to be humankind is returning back to how it was supposed to be living. Because even if you if you rewind to say you think all the 80s were great, the 90s were okay, the 70s were fantastic.
• 45:15
  We were already so far away from how we're supposed to live. Like go watch Little House on the Prairie. I highly recommend one of my favorite shows. Go watch how go look at how they live. Look at the resilience of them.
• 45:27
  You know, no one no one can possibly tell them that a guy as a as a it can be a woman or woman can be a man. Because you look at what Charles does, you look at what he does to work to support the family, there's no way that all that transgender BS could exist back then because it was survival. It's like looking into nature. Right? You look at nature, nature tells us, like nature is in a lot of ways, it's God's creation untouched by man, whereas mankind has really screwed up mankind, and they're leading us off a cliff, which we're gonna correct because we're returning to tradition together, and we're realized that we've gotten too far away from that.
• 45:59
  But if you look at nature, go try telling a buck deer with horns on it, the antlers on its head, and it's, you know, three times the size of as a doe, try telling that deer that he can be a doe. It doesn't work like that. Like nature shows us what is real. And so though again, though this time that we're in right now is very, very difficult, we are, it's gonna be a process of us returning back to tradition. We're going back to our roots.
• 46:29
  We're going back to where we belong. And I believe that though that the times ahead are gonna be really difficult, once we go back to that way of living, and I'm not, I'm not implying that we're gonna be you know, using horse and buggies and all that kind of stuff. I'm not sure what's on the other side at the other side of this. But it's gonna be something that's gonna be more beautiful than you could have ever imagined. So back to a few more.
• 46:51
  We've got about ten minutes left before we jump over onto Rise TV for the q and a session specifically about everything to do with prepping and even other things if you want to discuss it with me. But one thing I think I wanna talk about with food production is food storage. And so this is another key area. So say, you know, say that you can you have a great garden, like right now, we probably have over a hundred tomato plants. I got a little bit crazy buying tomato plants.
• 47:16
  I think Kate also got crazy planting the tomato seeds. And she blames me, I blame her, but now we've got like over a hundred tomato plants. But it's like once we have all these tomatoes, what do we do with them? Alright? You know, once we have all these beans, what do we do with them?
• 47:29
  So obviously, storing your food is a really, really important part as well. Now, if you're just buying, I know a lot of people, they look at, say, companies like MyPatriot Supply, or they look at these like the the buckets. Right? Now I'm not gonna knock those because if you don't have a lot of time, and you have a lot of extra money, those are a pretty good resource. But just just being very honest with you, the the Patriot type buckets are gonna be much more expensive than if you buy the raw materials on your own.
• 47:58
  That's just how it works. Right? Because they deserve to make money because they're assembling these pre made buckets for you. So if you're buying those, look, those already have, they've got twenty, twenty five year shelf life. They're actually a really good, you know, backup for just having some extra extra calories sitting around.
• 48:12
  But if you're not going that route, you know, preservation is really, really important. So I'll give you a few quick tips about that. So one is that if you say you like I mentioned, say you went to Costco, is what I do, I've got a Costco membership, and like, I think it was maybe two months ago, went I bought like a 50 pounds of flour. There's a lot of flour, right? So if you just take that flour, and you just, you know, stick it in your cupboard, what's gonna happen is you're gonna go back to it maybe six months or a year later, you got to use it, and you're gonna find it's full of eggs, it's gonna be full of little bugs, maybe mice got into it.
• 48:44
  So it's very very important that whether it's flour or dried beans or rice, that you have ways of preserving it. So there's a handful of ways to do it, but I'll tell you what I do my method. So there's something called diatomaceous earth, and I'm gonna make a little video about this separate time. So diatomaceous earth is basically it's it's ground up kind of fossilized crustaceans. But what that what it is though, is that the crustacean parts of these crustaceans, I guess you could say, they're like little razor blades.
• 49:16
  And they're actually not bad for human consumption. In fact, if you have parasites, like you have worms or something, can put little diatomaceous earth powder into your smoothie, and it'll help get rid of these parasites inside of you. But what it does is that if you mix a little bit in with your rice or your beans before you store it, if a little egg hatches in there because just being real, if you buy a bag of dried beans, there are eggs in there. There's bugs in there. That's just they can't not have it.
• 49:44
  It's just it's life. Right? And so that's what happens is that if you look at it six months later, you see all these little webby things, and they see little worms in there because they hatch, and they start eating off of the organic material in there. So if you use diatomaceous earth, what you do is say, in a five gallon bucket of rice, you mix in about a cup or so of this diatomaceous earth powder, you stir it all around. And what happens is that if a insect hatches, the diatomaceous earth, those little razor blades get inside of the like the exoskeleton of the bugs, and they basically kill them.
• 50:14
  So it really you can get rid of the bug issue. So what we do is you can get this, you get your dry goods, you put mixed in diataceous earth, and you can seal it in a five gallon bucket, a two gallon bucket, or if you want to, you can also get Mylar bags with the little oxygen absorbers. You put them into the Mylar bags, you get your oxygen absorbers, you get your diatomaceous earth, you seal them up, then you can store those in buckets. That's a great way. So there's if you're so there's the point being is that if you're gonna be storing grains and dry food like that, you have to do a little bit of prep work.
• 50:46
  Don't just buy a bag of flour and stick it in your pantry and expect that a year from now it's going to be usable. Canned goods are fantastic. So canned goods have a really long shelf life. Just make sure that you have extra can openers. You don't want to be in a situation where your one can opener broke.
• 51:02
  Right? So there's an old military saying, I think it is that one is none and two is one. Right? So if you have one, if it breaks, you've got none. If you've got two, if it breaks, you've got one.
• 51:11
  So I went on Amazon, I ordered a pack of I think there's like 15 of these just little basic military style can openers just as backup. So canned food, fantastic. If you can go to Costco, I get a lot of canned food from Costco, stores really well. That's one thing. What was that Kate?
• 51:31
  Oh, Aldi also. So Kate's she's she's in my ear, and she always gives me little tidbits. Also Aldi. So I'm not sure if you've got Aldi in your area. Also very, very inexpensive.
• 51:41
  You can get bulk stuff there, you know, great, great stuff. So you have canned foods, you have your dried foods, you have jars, if you have jars of pasta sauce, jars of vegetables, jars of fruit, fruit preserves, etc. Those are going to be key. Store those away. I'm not going be getting into water in today's discussion.
• 52:01
  So I'm mostly focusing on the food, you know, system, the food crisis. But water is also really, really important. And I go into that in some of other shows on prepping. But those are your kind of your your core things that you're storing for dry food. Now the other question, though, is is what do you do with your food if you grow it?
• 52:18
  Like, how can you grow, you know, your food? Or even say you wanna go to the grocery store and get a bunch of vegetables, say fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables. How can you do that? So one is that yes, say you've got unlimited freezer space, you can always just freeze everything. Me personally, though, we're we're trying to pull things out of our freezer because say there's a longer term scenario where the grid is down, I don't want to be relying on powering three giant freezers in my garage.
• 52:46
  You know, actually power right now is out all across Ohio. Actually, my show was supposed to be yesterday, but the power was down. Thankfully, we have a Generac generator. We have a whole house generator. But our internet was down.
• 53:00
  And right now, across all across Ohio, power is still down. So if look, if you've got, if you've got even $1,000 worth of food sitting in your freezer, and you don't have a generator, if your power is out for more than a day, all that food is done. So just be just be kind of aware of that. But when you're growing food or say you're you're getting things from the store, there's a handful of ways that you can use to preserve that food for long term storage. One of the most traditional methods is canning.
• 53:29
  Right? You buy a pressure cooker. It's a canning device, they're pretty inexpensive, and you have your glass ball jars. Like I grew up, my great grandmother had an entire cellar under her house full of jars of everything she grew for that season. Right?
• 53:44
  So like I said, you know, Kate and I have there's no way we're gonna eat, you know, 5,000 tomatoes that we're gonna have coming really soon. Right? But we eat a lot of bolognese, we eat a lot of pasta, we eat a lot of things that require tomato sauce. So we're gonna take those tomatoes, we're gonna can as much as we can because those canned tomatoes will last a very long time. You can also get a dehydrator, so you can dehydrate your food.
• 54:08
  You can make like little fruit roll ups, you can dehydrate fruit, etc. Or you can also get a freeze dryer. So freeze dryers are more expensive, but you can take a piece you can take a chicken breast, and you can cut it up into little cubes, you can freeze dry it, put it into a glass jar, and you've now got chicken that'll last you like twenty years. And so you pull it out, you're making a soup, you throw it in the soup, it reconstitutes, it gets the water back in it, and now you've got chicken soup, right? So you can literally go and take advantage of the chicken, which, folks, chicken is going to be a rare commodity, I think.
• 54:43
  They're really going after the chicken supply system, the chicken farms are burning down. So if we're seeing eggs at $12 a dozen, you know, right now I can buy locally organic, you know, chicken breasts for $8 a pound, maybe. So that might be $16 a pound, $20 a pound. So anything that you can buy right now, if you're able to, and you can reserve it in the proper way, that's going to be key. And that's how I look at it too.
• 55:11
  And I know it's tough. And look, everyone has a different financial position, right? And so maybe, again, maybe you're one of the people that you're going to be going to the food pantry. Fantastic. Be proactive, you know, pray on it, God will take care of you the best that He can.
• 55:26
  Very good. But if you have the money right now, and that's how I look at it and look at it like, why not buy 100 cans of beans? They're a dollar a can for 100 cans of beans, these cans of beans might be $3 a can in the next twelve months. So I'm just trying to I'm trying to hedge against that. Because if you look at the fact of you have two things working against you, you've got inflation, which is a that's a whole other monster to look at.
• 55:50
  So you have the value of our dollar that's decreasing, which is why I recommend gold and silver. I'm not just trying to sell you something. It's exactly what I do. If I have a little extra money, I go buy a few pieces, a few ounces silver or whatever it is. So you have that happening at the same time you're gonna see spikes in food costs.
• 56:05
  So this is like it is like a double whammy. It's a perfect storm that's going to really really make it difficult for us. So, folks, we have been going on for an hour now, which hopefully it's been fine. I mean, I know that the food crisis stuff is frightening. Like it is.
• 56:23
  It's it's scary. But I've actually smiled quite a bit in this episode because I do have a lot of hope. And one thing I will say, I want to put this one statement out there. There's a lot of people, they think that prepping is buying a bunch of guns and ammo, and buying a bunch of canned food and sitting in your basement. And look, I've been in that mindset before.
• 56:42
  But I really, really believe, I really believe that what's going to come out of what's coming next is a lot of communities are gonna be rebuilt, you're gonna have neighborhoods working together. Even as Kate and I, we have about five acres. And even as we're planting, and we're turning our property into something that produces food, we're thinking, you know what, I want to bring our neighbors here. I want to bring them here. I want to show them how we're doing this.
• 57:05
  I want to teach them how we're gardening. I want to bring their kids here and let their kids learn about gardening. This is an opportunity. If you're someone that you see this coming, this is an opportunity for us to help all those people around us. And so, look, may we get into some Mad Max scenario where it's like, you know, the truly the survival of the fittest?
• 57:24
  Maybe. But I don't believe it'll get to that place. Think that what's going happen is it's gonna be difficult, but I think a lot of people will come together. And so look at it like that. Try to think about it that way.
• 57:34
  Think about how can I help my neighbors and, you know, something actually, again, you know, kind of kudos to Bard's FM, he talks a lot about giving out seed packages, that look, if a neighbor comes to you and says, Hey, you know, I see you're gardening, you know, can I have some vegetables or whatever? Give them seeds, right? Teach a man to fish. So I just think that if you can come into it with that perspective, it's a very fundamental shift in how you are thinking about things because you're not thinking about your neighbor as your enemy. And that's the thing is that for a lot of people prepping turns them into someone that's paranoid that views their neighbor as their enemy.
• 58:10
  But let's instead try our best to look at this and say, You know what, my neighbor is someone that is my neighbor for a reason. And I'm going to try my best to help them in any way that I can. And I think that it's going to be if everyone can adopt that kind of attitude, And if when you're growing, you think you can grow that extra bit more, I really think that we can get through this. So now if you live like in the middle of New York City, maybe your neighbor's probably gonna be your enemy. Because the amount of food that is not going to be there and the amount of criminals that are in a city like that, you might want to be looking at it's like, hey, let me make my friend upstate, my friend.
• 58:46
  Let me get out of this area. So alright. So folks, we are now going to head over to Rise TV for a q and a, and we'll let it go as long as your questions keep coming. Oftentimes, it's half an hour, forty five minutes an hour. But I want to talk to you.
• 59:00
  I want to hear what are your actual concerns? What are you struggling with? Do you have a particular question? Are you trying to decide between whether to, you know, kind of push yourself for the budget of a freeze dryer versus a good dehydrator? Let's talk about this.
• 59:11
  Let's talk about water, even guns and ammunition. Let's talk about all this together. That's over on Rise TV. So folks, for those of you that are watching on Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, etc. As you can see, I will continue to do as much as I can on these free platforms because I do not want to lose you.

• 1:01:13
  So alright, so let me go and just get my windows situated properly here. And okay, so Dom is gonna be collecting the questions for you. I guess also, let me know how's everyone doing? How's everyone doing over here? Like, how are you?
• 1:01:30
  How are you faring right now? I know it's a crazy world. But there's again, there's there's as much as there's this insanity happening, There's just this big part of me that just has hope for the future. It's like, you know what, they keep throwing stuff at us. We keep getting back up and I decided to have this hope for the future.
• 1:01:50
  And hopefully you do too. So let go pull up my question sheet here. Give me a second, folks. Alright. Okay, and again, whatever you want to ask.
• 1:02:07
  Actually, so I'll address Scott Monson really quickly who said, Seth, I have sent you a TikTok video several times in several ways. It was a Biden getting into an Uber. Have you seen it? What do you think it implies? Scott, I'll take a look at that.
• 1:02:19
  I saw that email yesterday. And so I will take a look at that. And I will let you know what I think. Maybe by Ethan L, I can I can do that? Also, I should mention this while was on the public platforms, but tomorrow I am interviewing Greg Phillips, the guy the guy with a fantastic beard in 2,000 mules.
• 1:02:38
  That's gonna be tomorrow at 2PM. So I just wanna give you a heads up for that. So, alright, questions. Okay. So TJ Hiker, how much of your goal or sorry, how much of your savings would you put into gold if you had say $30,000?
• 1:03:00
  So these are always difficult questions to answer. Because gold is not the most important. I would first say, do you have a place to grow a garden? Do you have a garden? Setting up a garden costs money.
• 1:03:15
  Like, say you didn't have a garden, but you had an acre of land. I'd say, look, take a couple thousand dollars, build some raised beds, and get a garden going. Because gardening, you know, vegetables are gonna be worth their weight in gold. But let's just pretend that you've got all those things set up and you're being proactive and you've got $30,000 just sitting there. And it's just in your savings and the bank's giving you point 000007% per year, as the banks do.
• 1:03:42
  I would probably say in that situation, that maybe keep like $5,000 in the savings, maybe $10,000 in the savings, and the rest, whatever you're gonna pull out, I would split it between holding on to cash and putting it into gold and silver. So say you want to keep 10,000 in your savings, maybe you want to keep just $10,000 in cash just to have on hand. And then you put your other $10,000 into gold and silver. My personal approach with gold and silver, it's around fiftyfifty. So if I was gonna put $10,000 into gold and silver, I'd probably buy about two ounces or three ounces of gold, and put the rest into silver probably in one ounce rounds or one ounce bars or something like that.
• 1:04:24
  So that's about how I would approach it. I wouldn't just dump everything into there, I would leave yourself a little bit of a little backup, have some cash on hand, and then put the rest into it. All right. Michelle Therese, I wonder if the real shortages will happen after this upcoming harvest, then the shells will be very bare. Yeah, I've had the same thought.
• 1:04:46
  I think that, like I said in in the show before, I think that we're probably going to see shortages that are hitting really almost now, you're gonna see rationing your limit of cans of beans, etc. I think that as we move into the fall, that you will see like, you can no longer buy beef, for instance. Like, go to your local grocery store, and you can't buy beef. Like, so one thing actually right now that we're doing is we're ordering a half a cow. So we split the cow with a family member.
• 1:05:15
  And so we're getting, you know, the equivalent of half a cow's worth of meat, and we're gonna freeze a lot of it, but we're also going to freeze dry it. So we actually just this morning, we ordered a freeze dryer, we found one that was in stock in Ohio, like thirty minutes away, which is like fantastic. So we're gonna start freeze drying a lot of our meat that we can get now because you can can meat, like you can can ground beef and can chicken, but freeze drying has a much longer shelf life for it. So that's gonna be one of my, you know, once we get this freeze freeze dryer, my goal is to have it running nonstop. And just keep, you know, kind of shoving in chicken, beef, you know, stuff that we're growing in the property, fruit, we're gonna have we've got a pear tree with probably 500 pears on it, that this produces so much fruit.
• 1:06:00
  So that's gonna be one thing we're doing is doing that. So anyway, back to what your question, though, is that, yeah, I do think that we, you know, we might see fall, winter, really things really kind of hitting, but everything that I've been hearing about what's happening for like the harvest right now, it seems like there are significant issues that are happening, whether it's weather related. For a lot of farmers, they're actually giving up, there's turning over their fields because they can no longer make money. The cost of farming an acre of corn because the price of fuel, the price of fertilizer, everything else that kind of goes into that, let alone whether their tractor works, because whether they're waiting on a chip from China, so their their $600,000 farming, you know, rig doesn't work because they can't get a single $30 chip from China. I'm reading stories like this.
• 1:06:51
  So a lot of farmers are having really big extreme hardships right now. Not to mention the weather is just insane. I it's of all the times, like in my life, I've never experienced weather like this. I we've had, think, six, five or six, five or six, like violent thunderstorms in the past, I think six weeks. And I mean violent, I mean, like trees falling over, like, insane.
• 1:07:19
  Like I have these newly planted trees, they weren't staked yet. The trees tipped over. The root ball came out of the ground because the trees tipped over. So I think that there's it's I mean, again, timing. Russia war, Ukraine, COVID shutdown, all this kind of stuff that's happening.
• 1:07:34
  It just so happens that this has to be the craziest weather season ever, as we're approaching the fall of the food crisis. I don't know. Maybe it's just coincidence, right? Just just another coincidence. Another coinkydink, right?
• 1:07:51
  Alright, so Sue Pooh and Susan Fan, great question. Is there a projection on how long the food crisis is expected to last? Do we need to grow food for years? So that's a great question. I don't really have a very accurate answer for you.
• 1:08:10
  But how I'm approaching this is I'm trying to just change my life into a way of living that I will always produce my own food as much as I can from here on out. So what even if the food crisis stops, and things have to rebuild, which I think will probably happen after a couple of years, that's my guess, I think maybe it's gonna be a couple of years that the food system maybe starts to rebuild itself and local farmers really get going again, etc. But even at that stage, like, I still want to be living in a way that I'm producing most of my food. And that's why I talked about earlier about returning to tradition. Because, like, that's how I'm looking at this process is that, like, we're going back to how we're supposed to live.
• 1:08:52
  And, yeah, I mean, a hundred years ago, 90% of Americans were farmers. Right now, I think it's maybe one or 2%, or maybe less than that. So again, one hundred years ago, 90% of Americans were farmers. And so the way I'm looking at this is I'm not looking at this, okay, I'll grow food for a couple of years. I'm looking at this and saying, this is how I want to live.
• 1:09:18
  You know, like, I want to be producing food for my family, for my my daughter, my, you know, my grandchildren, etc. So that's just how I'm approaching it, but very good question. Wings Over Texas in Clark, is there instructional book on how to freeze dry various food products? What's the best freeze dryer to get? How much does it cost?
• 1:09:40
  So good questions. Let me pull something up for you. Let me see. We're getting a website together for you. So now, in terms of a book, I haven't looked into the books yet.
• 1:09:52
  I'm sure that Kate, if she hasn't already, like I said, we just purchased a freeze dryer this morning. So I'm sure that there's gonna be a lot of good resources that we can find a lot of good books online about how to freeze dry. And so that that should be pretty easy for you. In terms of which one to get. So there's one company that has really, they seem to be the only ones making like really good quality freeze dryers for home use.
• 1:10:16
  It's called HarvestRite. Now, this is what the machines look like. I think they're about the size of like, depending on what size you use, like small, medium, and large. They might be a size like a small, you know, appliance like a small fridge or something like that. But these are their machines, they're expensive.
• 1:10:33
  I will warn you. Freeze dryers are the most expensive in terms of food production. Canning is the cheapest. You can get a pressure cooker for $60, maybe even less, you can find a used one. Then you have your food dehydrate, you know, dehydrator.
• 1:10:49
  You can get a good one on Amazon or locally or wherever for $100, 2 hundred dollars, 3 hundred dollars. Freeze dryers are the most expensive. So I'll show you if you're going to go in, I'll show you the price of these. They're a couple thousand dollars. So that is let's see, there's a they did have a list of anyway, so this is the okay, so this is their medium size right here.
• 1:11:10
  A medium size freeze dryer is about $2,800 Their small size is around $2,300 Their large size is $3,595 So we just got one of these large ones. We found it locally and it was only 3,200. So it's priced a little bit below the kind of MSRP that they have on the website. Now, if you want to get one, if you go to their website, they'll say that their lead time is they're not shipping until August because they're backed up. But, you know, we've had that same experience with fireplaces before we're looking to get a stove.
• 1:11:45
  And Kate went and called around. So Kate called someone that was like thirty minutes from here that just had a handful of these sitting in stock. So they put my actually, no, they had one. So they had one of the large models sitting sitting there. So they put my name on it, and we're gonna pick it up this weekend.
• 1:12:00
  So again, freeze dryers, they are they're expensive. But like I said, you can take a chicken breast, you can cut it into little cubes, you can freeze dry it, it turns it into these little kind of popcorn type chicken nuggets almost, it's kind of funny. You put them in a jar, you put them in a Mylar bag, and they will last upwards of twenty five years. And then when you want to cook with it, you add water because refrigerant is kind of evaporates all the water out of it, you add water, and you've got relatively decently fresh chicken to eat. So, again, as I talked about that on today's show, there's a whole spectrum of where people are at financially.
• 1:12:38
  And maybe you're just you're trying to get some cans of tuna, that's great. But if you can, and you're in a position in life where you can get a freeze dryer, they could be a very, very good investment. So let me pull up my questions again. So, okay, Wings Over Texas. There are many that say if Trump does not return by or before the November elections, it will be too late, and we will not be able to save the country from destruction.
• 1:13:04
  Any thoughts? So my my overall belief with Trump is that I think that Trump had a window to act to correct the stolen election before Joe Biden was inaugurated. There was discussion of military action, etc. I believe now looking back that Trump missed that window. And that Trump look, if Trump was was still in control and everything, we wouldn't have what's happening in our country playing out.
• 1:13:35
  Trump would have been back in. And so but with that being said, there's a lot of people that are pinning everything on Trump. Look, Trump's human. Right? He's he's just one man.
• 1:13:45
  And so all of these people that are saying this kind of stuff, like if Trump isn't back in before November, honestly, I wouldn't listen to those people. And I wouldn't listen to most of what they might be saying elsewhere too. Because to me that this represents a very skewed understanding of this. What do you mean if Trump's not back in before November, our country will be destroyed? How's he going to get back in?
• 1:14:08
  That's that's a big question. Right? Because, look, after after the inauguration, and we had to say the Maricopa audit, we had the cyber symposium, there were a lot of really real actions that could have gotten him back in potentially. But all of those things did not work. It just it just it is what it is.
• 1:14:27
  So I would just be very cautious. There's about people that kind of talk about Trump with the Savior complex that once Trump gets back in, he's gonna do x. Look, the reality is folks, and the more I've studied this stuff, the more I've realized, especially if you look at things like the food system, you look at things like the global financial system, the fiat currency, like ever since the the the creation of the Federal Reserve, And ever since Nixon took us off the gold standard, we've been headed towards financial destruction. It's just how it works. Like, that's what happened with Rome.
• 1:15:04
  You couldn't reverse the fall of Rome. Once they debate the the you know, took the currency off the gold and silver standard, once they flooded their country with immigrants, all these different things, these are dominoes that were flicked a long time ago. And so Trump getting back in, you know, even if Trump had another four years, he would not have been able to destroy the deep state. I'm sorry, I can maybe some people were offended. Maybe he could have had Hillary arrested.
• 1:15:28
  Maybe Obama could have been arrested, right? Would have been great. I'd love to see it. But the reality is, is that what we're experiencing right now, this is the the this is the effect of something that was done decades ago. Because the foundation of our country, the foundation of our fiat currency has been corrupted for a very, very, very long time.
• 1:15:47
  And so we kind of have to go through this rebirthing process to get to the other side. And I hope that during this process of whatever we're kind of heading into, the storm that we're heading into, I would love to see Trump come back and try to really help guide the country during that time period to help us land on the other side. But I think that the idea is that Trump can get back in and save the country from what's what's, you know, happening, and, you know, everyone says nothing can stop what's coming. Well, the only thing I see it's coming is a destruction of the old system, and it has to happen. It's gonna be painful.
• 1:16:19
  You know, it's like giving birth. It's gonna be painful, but there's gonna be new life on the other side of it. So maybe it's not the question or the answer you're hoping for. But that's, that's, that's what I believe. And that's why just being honest with you.
• 1:16:30
  If I wasn't being honest with you, I don't think I deserve to be sitting in front of you right now. Alright, medal avenger. Do you think the food crisis will hit The US and Canada harder than certain areas in Europe? Are there countries that might be safer than others? You know, it's, it's a difficult it's a difficult equation because, you know, you have more America, where maybe the food crisis hits America really, really bad.
• 1:16:58
  Because America is the number one target for not just the deep state, but for the CCP, right? America is standing in the way of either of those two factions gaining control globally. So the food crisis might actually be much worse in America, because they have to. We still have our second amendment, we still have our constitution, they have to cripple America. But it doesn't mean that America is not gonna be a better place to live than say, Austria, or Germany, or Australia, because those other European countries or even Canada, those other countries, they are they may not need to use a food crisis to control the people the way that they need to.
• 1:17:38
  Right? I think we've seen that. Look what happened during the pandemic. You know, look at the green, you know, the green pass in Italy. Look at what happened in Australia.
• 1:17:46
  You know, that couldn't have happened in America. They knew that Americans would only take so much before we snapped. And they're pushing us, trust me. They pushed us and pushed us and pushed us. So I don't think that the food crisis is the gauge of where you want to live.
• 1:18:01
  I personally would rather live in America than any other country in the world, because we have the Constitution, we have the Second Amendment, we have beautiful farmland, you know, we have each other, we have all these these, our fellow Americans, these beautiful patriots that I see everywhere that, you know, I just I want to cry. I drive into Zanesville, all I see is, Let's go Brandon flags. Just brings tears to my eyes. So that's why I love America. That's why I'm sticking here in America.
• 1:18:31
  Metal Avenger, another question from you. Thank you for your great questions as usual. Have you heard of the theory that people who do a lot of evil poison their own bodies by doing that? What do you think about that? You know, I have heard about this.
• 1:18:44
  I've also heard about something like, there's like a stent or something. And look, I believe this a %. And look, whether you want to look at it from the Christian perspective of sin, or the say, Buddhist or Eastern philosophy as it relates to karma, that I really believe that when you do evil deeds, that you're poisoning your body. Right? So say from the Christian perspective, that when you do something evil, you're sinning.
• 1:19:08
  And I think that that sin I think that that sin is not just a it's not just like a kind of metaphysical thing, or you know, you got some mark in God's book that says you've sinned. Like, I believe is that when you sin, that there's this black darkness that actually kind of gets added to your body. And the more you sin, it's like a poison. Maybe you can't see it with their our physical eyes, but maybe some people can see it, and maybe they can understand it. But it's like when you sin, that that stuff gets added to your body.
• 1:19:42
  And eventually, eventually it comes for you. So I believe so strongly. And actually, that's what gives me in a lot of ways, a feeling of peace is because I really believe that God will balance everything out and the evil will face retribution and the good will be given the reward they deserve for being good. As much as I want to see, you know, people, you know, handcuffed and taken off to Gitmo, I hope that that happens. Honestly, the judgment that I want to see the most is the judgment of what happens after this life.
• 1:20:13
  Because that's the real judgment. And so I'm not as I'm not as, you know, concerned, or focused or really hanging on the edge of my seat to see like someone arrested. Because I know that God will deal with these people. And I think that a lot of relates to sin. So Patriot Girl, thank you for joining.
• 1:20:33
  I just got a comment. It's a Patriot Girl who says, I'm new. I had the honor of meeting Seth at the Clay Clark reawakened tour in Irvine. So I can't say I remember who you are. I'm sorry if maybe if you see me a picture of it, I don't remember saying, oh, remember being Patriot Girl.
• 1:20:49
  Right? But thank you so very, very much, Patriot Girl for joining Rise TV. It's it's wonderful to have you here. And I'm sure that when I met you, was smiling. I probably gave you a big hug and took a picture with you because that's just how I am.
• 1:21:02
  So so thank you for joining Rise TV and welcome. I hope that you love it. I hope you love it. Wings Over Texas, where is the best place to get healthy chickens? I would say the best place to get healthy chickens is from your local farmer.
• 1:21:18
  So what I would recommend you do is find a farm market if you can. You know, that's the first place I would look is go to your local farm market and meet the farmers that are local. And look, if you live in a relatively decent sized town, which we live in a town that is not huge, but it's like a small medium sized town, there's a bustling farm market every weekend. And so I would recommend you go to your local farm market, find the chicken farmers and talk to them, meet them directly, ask them questions, say, hey, they may not be organic, but they might say, look, like, we don't use any kind of chemicals, but it's just too expensive to be called organic, which a lot of the meats that we buy are that are like that. They're not organic, but I know the farmers and they raise their cattle, they raise their chicken really, really well.
• 1:21:59
  No pesticides on grass, etc. So would definitely try that. If you can't say you live in an area that's not a not a farm market, then I would just try to find local farms in your area, or local farms that can ship to you. Now, but if you want to buy that's if if you're looking to purchase chickens to eat. Right?
• 1:22:19
  If you wanna buy chickens to raise chickens actually, did the same thing. I I found well, you can also go on the Craigslist. There's other, you know, different websites like that. But also, we've I found a local farm that was raising the three, the three breeds of chicken I was looking for. And I drove up an hour, I met them, I looked at their farm, and I took some chickens home with me.
• 1:22:41
  So go local. Local is healthy. And also local is sustainable. So if there's a collapse and say, you know, your local grocery store, you can't go buy chicken anymore, you call up your farmer and say, Hey, man, I would love to come buy some chicken from you. They might still have it for you.
• 1:22:54
  So that's gonna be resiliency. Alright. Laura Joe for truth. I've had a few of the gallon sized water jugs spring little pinpoint leaks since I've lost one on the floor. What is the safe way to store water?
• 1:23:09
  Good question. So the yeah, the gallon sized ones, those can definitely leak, you know, for me. So how I'm approaching water storage is, you know, we've got our, we've got some bottled bottled water in the garage that we just kind of been sitting at the, you know, you go to Costco and they're really inexpensive. So that's one way. You can also you can store you can store water in, like, 50 gallon drums.
• 1:23:35
  The one thing with with storing water is you have to make sure you treat it because it can kind of rinse over time. But I would say that the best approach with water is have a water source and have a way of filtering your water. So what we've done, I'll bring you up a website here, since this is kind of like show and tell of prepping ideas. So what we've done is we have got what's called a Berkey. So a Berkey and I'll show you the website right here.
• 1:24:03
  So this is a let's see this is like okay right here. This is what we have. It's called the big Berkey. So this is a again, they're a little bit expensive, but you can get smaller ones. But this is a this is a water filter.
• 1:24:16
  You can literally take a gallon of water from a pond covered in swamp scum, and you can dump it into your Berkey, and it will give you clean drinking water. So you know, while a lot of people are looking at storing water, which is important, and maybe you know, you can also buy, to answer your question more directly, you can buy even like, you know, like the the Poland Springs, gallon jugs that they put on top of the things at the office, You can buy some of those, those are good for storing water, you can buy water storage containers. But the best solution for water is to have a source of water and have a way to filter it. So for us, we've got a Berkey. We're also looking into drilling a well in our property so that we can have clean water coming up from the ground.
• 1:24:57
  And if it's a little bit kind of sometimes, you know, well water can be a little bit off, we can still filter it. You can also set up a rainwater collection system. Now, I would still recommend filtering your rainwater because of all the crap they're putting in the skies with chemtrails, or if you have an asphalt roof, I'd look into that because sometimes if have a shingle roof, you shouldn't be drinking that water. But if you can collect rainwater, then you can filter it. So I would in general look for ways of basically your water solutions to be should be sustainable.
• 1:25:26
  You shouldn't be only having like what you have in jugs sitting inside your home. Alright, back to the questions but great, great question. Okay, where is my question sheet? Sorry, one second, folks. Where'd my questions go?
• 1:25:43
  Maybe I closed it. Anyway, let me bring it back up. Okay, so next question. Wings over Texas. I read that one.
• 1:25:54
  It was a Trump question. Oh, okay. So David nine eleven. What type of cartridges for your shotgun are you keeping? I'm building a large cache of 12 gauge SG and 50 g, like medium load that can stop things oh, I see what you're saying.
• 1:26:11
  Also leave something left on larger hunts. So I forget what I got buckshot of some sort. I'm not like a shotgun aficionado. I've got a basic Mossberg. I think it's like a Mossberg Maverick.
• 1:26:24
  And I think that I just bought, like, a thousand rounds of 12 gauge, it might have been like a double zero buck buckshot. Again, like I need to refresh myself on shotguns. I'm not a big shotgun guy. So but yeah, so I would there's if you look into it, there's there is a type of shot that you can get, which is good for home protection, you can bring down a larger animal, but it's not like spraying BBs everywhere. Like don't get birdshot to defend your home or to go hunting with unless you're hunting birds because it's gonna make a mess of whatever you shoot.
• 1:26:58
  So. Alright, Michelle Therese, does cooked meat that is frozen last a while if it is thawed out by power outages. So as far as I understand, you know, cooked meat, if you thaw cooked meat, you have to heat it properly, you know, shortly after it thaws. Because if if it's kind of like if you leave, say you have a piece of cooked hamburger, and you leave it out on the counter overnight, I wouldn't recommend eating it the next day. So, you know, that's and again, this is this is the trouble with freezers.
• 1:27:31
  Like we've got, you know, probably a couple hundred pounds of meat in our freezer. And I'm a little bit anxious about it, especially with these power outages, because if I lose my freezers, now we have a whole house generator, but if say we lose, you know, the power and there's a natural gas shortage, then or it gets cut off, then we lose our freezers, and it's a lot of money to lose your meat. So that's why we're moving more towards freeze drying. But what you what I'd recommend is that you can can meat. So you can can chicken, you can can beef, you can can ground beef.
• 1:28:02
  So that's why I'd really recommend because then in that process you're cooking your meat, it's sealing in your jar, and you don't need refrigeration anymore. So that is the ultimate inexpensive way to preserve your cooked meat. That's what I'd recommend. TJ Hiker, do you have a food dehydrator? And if so, what brand?
• 1:28:21
  I know nothing about them and I want to try that as well. I actually forget which brand I have. Maybe maybe Kate, if you could pull it up for me. Forget. But which which brand dehydrator we have.
• 1:28:35
  Yeah, so she can look into our shopping history and try to find it for you. I mean, it's a pretty good dehydrator. I think maybe it's like a magic kitchen or something. Anyway, I'll get that to you. Kate, you can just drop it in there or you just tell me when you get that.
• 1:28:50
  Okay. So Pamela White or Pamela W. How do you store your rice and flour? Vacuum sealer. Oh, okay.
• 1:29:00
  So we have a Magic Mill dehydrator. So let me pull that up for you. So Magic Mill dehydrate. Imagine that. So they are You can get some of them, some of the different ones.
• 1:29:16
  So anyway, this is just what came up in the what came up in the search. It just shows in Amazon. So the company is Magic Mill. You can get different sizes of them. The one that the size that we have, I think is is no longer available.
• 1:29:29
  It's unavailable. Imagine that. But they make a what's that, Kate? Oh, XX yeah, Excalibur is also a good alternative. So Magic Mill and Excalibur, those are good brands of dehydration.
• 1:29:42
  So something like this, for instance, is one that's $120, you know, countertop size, it looks like it has three, looks like maybe three trays or six trays, that's going be good enough to get a lot of dehydration done. So but yeah, ours is magic mill. And then the freeze dryer is the harvest ripe freeze dryer. Alright. Okay, so back to Pamela's question.
• 1:30:07
  How do you store your rice in flour vacuum sealer buckets? So right now, I'm just pouring I bought food grade buckets with a sealable lid, both two gallon and five gallon. You can get them at Tractor Supply, Home Depot, Lowe's. They're expensive, you buy them online. Says go locally and get them in maybe it's like $4 for the bucket and $2 for a lid.
• 1:30:29
  And so right now, what I've been doing is just filling those up with rice, beans, flour, and then mixing in diatomaceous earth. But my what I want to do is start doing next is get Mylar bags. I want to start moving more towards Mylar bags, little oxygen packets, and, and then be able to drop those in and then probably seal them in the Mylar bags and then put them into larger things for storing. Alright, so Jill D Awoke Riser for Life. How accurate is the expiration date on groceries?
• 1:31:03
  Also, what will one do if there's a milk shortage? My kids drink three gallons a week. Yeah. So actually, I think that Kate and I could between me and Kate and June, we we drink probably like three gallons a week because we have we have a lot of coffee. And June just loves her milk as well because it's just she's a little baby.
• 1:31:20
  She loves her milk. So I'm glad you good question. You can get dehydrated milk powder. So I warn you, it's expensive, but it's not well, I guess, again, again, it's it's relative. You know, we I found one company that I forget where I ordered it from.
• 1:31:37
  And it's it is organic whole milk that's dehydrated. It has a really, really long shelf life. And what you do is you just add you just add water to it, I think. And you can you can kind of get your milk back. And people are saying that it's very close to like real milk.
• 1:31:52
  So you can so you can also freeze milk. So a lot of milk that we've bought, we ended up just, we've just frozen. And so that's been good because say we run out of our current supply and I pull one out of the freezer. But again, back to the original discussion, if your freezer goes out, then you're screwed. And milk takes up a lot of space.
• 1:32:13
  So gallon of milk takes up a lot of space in a freezer. So I would recommend though is just looking for dehydrated milk powder. And I we got, I think we got maybe 200 pounds of it of dehydrated milk powder. So because we we also we drink so much milk, and I'm like, I cannot stand. I would not be able to keep going without milk in my coffee.
• 1:32:33
  Know. Of course, look, if I had no milk, I'd survive. I'd probably be like trying to milk a cat or something. But also, other thing too, is that farm animals, so we're gonna be trying to get some sheep soon, because that way we can also have an animal that gives us milk in exchange for us letting the animal eat the grass on our field. So.
• 1:32:54
  Okay, metal avenger. Did you see amazing Polly's video about genocide through frequencies in combination with vaccines? Your thoughts? I actually Kate, I think listened to it. I didn't watch that one.
• 1:33:06
  I'm still trying to get caught up on her videos. I try to watch a lot of them. She's one of my favorite people to watch. But I did not see that particular website. So I'm sorry that I can't give you an answer about that.
• 1:33:18
  Alright, Laura Jo for truth. How will we use gold other than storing it to protect our money? Will we literally take coins of gold to buy and barter? So that's okay. If the financial system, if the dollar collapses, and we see hyperinflation until it just kind of utterly collapses, which I unfortunately think it's where we're headed.
• 1:33:41
  I think that in that situation, we will enter into a more of a barter economy. It's not going to be like you use your app to log on to Chase and use your ATM card. That's all going to change. And so if in more of a barter economy, maybe at the outset, if things are a little bit shaky, you don't want me to into like a market with a gold coin. Because it just, who knows?
• 1:34:06
  But I think that in the future, though, that people will be bartering and buying and selling with gold and silver. Silver is good from the perspective that you can, you know, for a little one ounce round of silver, it's say $25. So it's, you know, versus a one ounce gold coin is $2. So silver is better from the perspective that you can buy smaller denominations of it, and you can it'd be easier to barter with, I think. Gold, you know, could be very useful because say you have to buy a a cow, or say it to buy a tractor, or say it to buy, you know, a larger item, you know, having a having gold will be useful for that.
• 1:34:46
  I would recommend that you know, instead of getting only one ounce pieces of gold, that you get little one gram, 10 gram, 100 gram, small denominations as well. But yeah, to answer your question, I think that we'll probably enter into a time, like look, the reality is, is if the dollar is not worth anything, like look at Venezuela, they have wheelbarrows of their currency. So if the dollar is not worth anything, how do we transact? You know, so yes, there's gonna be a lot of bartering. You'll doing a trade ammunition, trade food, etc.
• 1:35:16
  Trade fuel, but gold and silver, think will be a big part of that, a society that is bartering like that. Been there, done that. What are you gonna do with all those eggs and how are you gonna store them? Good point. So for one, we use our eggs, we feed our dogs eggs.
• 1:35:34
  We have two little corgis and they each probably eat two eggs a day. So that's one way of kind of turning our chicken food into dog food. Alright? We do try to eat a handful of eggs. We give eggs to our neighbors occasionally.
• 1:35:47
  In the future, maybe we'll sell eggs perhaps. But what we also do is we water glass eggs. So there's an old technique called water glassing. And so I've got probably four or 500 eggs just sitting in my my food storage area with just unrefrigerated. So how's that, Seth?
• 1:36:06
  Yeah, they'll last about a year and a half to two years. So what you do is you get pickling lime, it's a powder, and you fill up a bucket with pickling lime, and distilled water or clean water, and you put the eggs in there. But you can only do that with eggs that you had or that you have locally, because if you that you actually raise yourself. Because if you buy eggs from a store, they've already been washed, and they wash off the bacteria coating that actually helps preserve the eggs. So you can use this technique called water glassing to you put the eggs there, just Google it, Google water glassing eggs.
• 1:36:39
  And so if you're if you're raising your own chickens, and you're raising your own eggs, then you can use that to preserve them without refrigeration for one and a half to two years. The other thing which I'm excited about is dehydrating eggs. Actually, I'm not sure if Kate even thought about this, but you can I watched some videos on this, you can actually just take one of the dehydrator trays, you can crack a dozen eggs into it, stick it in there, and it comes out as a as like a brittle powder? And you can break that up and put it in jars or Mylar bags. You add water later, you've got fresh scrambled eggs.
• 1:37:13
  So that's on honestly, once I have the freeze dryer, I'll probably stop water glassing and only do dehydrated eggs because then they've got them like, you know, decade, two decade long shelf life. Alright, because we have some great questions today. I told you I'd keep going too. Fox two. What do you think of Russia going into Nicaragua over more US funded bio lab concerns?
• 1:37:38
  So I actually I don't know. I haven't followed the story of Russia and the bio labs in Nicaragua. So I'm sorry. I'll look into it. Because obviously, I've been following that beat.
• 1:37:50
  But I haven't just haven't seen it. So I don't I don't have an answer for you. From land, Seth, can you elaborate on the benefit benefit of a Generac generator? Like how long would it keep running after a power outage and if it is a good investment? Great, great question.
• 1:38:08
  So Generacs are expensive. That's just one thing that that's just the reality of it. It the first thing I bought when we got into our new home. They will cost for the unit itself, anywhere from probably $3 to 6 or 7 or 8,000 if you got a really big one. I think ours was about 4,000 for the actual Generac.
• 1:38:29
  And the installation was like 6 or $7,000 to install or something like that. Because they have to come out here, they have to put down a concrete pad, have to clear your property to able to do it. You're get to cut the power to your house. So it is expensive. However, so how it works is that Generac, or this is my Generac, you have two fuel sources, you can be natural gas or propane.
• 1:38:50
  So natural gas, which we have natural gas where we live, it just runs automatically off of that. So now propane, like I'm looking into getting a thousand gallon tank of propane, probably having it buried somewhere in my land, just as a backup. Because a thousand gallons of propane will run my Generac twenty four hours a day for about twenty days. So as a backup. Now, is it a good investment?
• 1:39:15
  Well, I can tell you that, you know, in our fridge, we've got I've got three freezers in my garage with frozen food. Those freezers probably have, you know, because meat's not expensive, a couple hundred pounds of beef, you know, hundred pounds of chicken, etc. Right? There's at least $3,000 worth of food sitting in those freezers that we've just been kind of slowly building up. If I didn't have that Generac, I would have lost all of that food this past week.
• 1:39:45
  So we had our power went out. I think it was a handful couple days ago, our power was out for almost twenty four hours. So what happens though, when you have a Generac, how it works, it's a whole house Generac, it gets the reason it's so expensive to install is that there it's wired directly into your core panel, your power panel in your basement. So what happens is as soon as the power goes out, it's kind of cool. The power goes out in the house, and then all about ten seconds later, thirty seconds later, you hear this engine running, and that's your Generac.
• 1:40:19
  It kicks back on, and your power turns back on. Your entire house's power turns back on. And so our Generac ran for almost twenty four hours off of natural gas. Now I haven't got the natural gas bill, it's not going be good. But again, I had power.
• 1:40:33
  So it will run everything in your house, your air conditioning works, your fridge works, your lights work, your internet works, if you if your internet provider hasn't had an outage. So it is apps, in my opinion, it's absolutely worth the investment. It is a lot of money. But you're losing power does not change your life. A guy I was talking to actually my mom was talking to in a neighborhood.
• 1:40:58
  They're looking at buying into. There were Generacs out front of most of houses, not out front, usually to the side, but a lot of the houses had Generacs. And actually, I know it's actually my stepdad. He asked, he said, Why does everyone here have a Generac? And he said, Oh, two years ago, in the middle of winter, there was a two week power outage in that region.
• 1:41:18
  Two weeks. So most of the people actually had to leave their home and go stay in a hotel for two weeks until the power came back on. So that's why everyone went out and bought Generacs after that. So I would I would absolutely say, look, if you have the money for it, I would absolutely recommend a Generac. Okay.
• 1:41:39
  Meow meow and all the rest. If you can't afford to buy gold, probably what's the best next thing to do? Pull out all cash, buy a lot of goods? Are any banks or credit unions reliable and non woke? So I'll answer your last question first.
• 1:41:55
  I would highly recommend just finding a local bank or credit union. So the bank that we use only has seven locations just in the city that we're in. So you know, try to find a local bank. Don't go with the big banks, you know, Chase or Bank of America, etc. Try to find a local bank, are gonna be a lot less woke for sure.
• 1:42:15
  Now, if you can afford to buy gold, I'd recommend buying silver. You can buy an ounce of silver for around $25 for a little ounce. Even if you spend $100 a month, if you can, and you put up you put away four ounces of silver every month and keep doing that. The thing is, is that if the dollar collapses, a hundred dollars worth of silver could be worth thousands of dollars. Because right now we're looking at like what is the value of silver?
• 1:42:43
  Well, it would compare to compare to the US dollar, right? So if the if there is that kind of situation with US Dollar itself collapses, you might see that gold and silver really greatly increase in price. Now even if they don't, I'm not gonna say I'm not trying to encourage you to place bets on that and say well if I put it you know, this, but even if they don't, it's a reliable way of storing your wealth, you're not gonna see them go to zero, right? Especially now that you say Putin has backed the ruble with gold, there are other currencies that he's just the beginning. The more currencies that are backed by gold, the more it's gonna stabilize the gold price.
• 1:43:19
  So if you say that you know, the US dollar does really collapse, if you have a hundred thousand dollars, hypothetically, look, if you have a hundred thousand dollars sitting in an IRA, or even sitting in a bank account, that every time we see a 10% increase in inflation, you lose $10. Now and if if the stock market crashes, you might lose almost the entirety of that $100,000 If that was in gold, though, gold's a very stable asset. Over the years, gold has been one of those stable assets there ever has been. It's one of the oldest traded items. So I would recommend silver, but I would really as I answered, I think it was TJ Hiker perhaps asked me earlier, if you're looking at how to allocate your money, the most valuable things I would say are going to be food, seeds, those kinds of items.
• 1:44:06
  Those are the keys. So, you know, if you don't have any food set aside, and you've got, you know, $10,000 worth of gold, but only one month of food, like that's not the right scenario, right, right, you know, kind of scenario, I would try to have your food supply really stabilized, your growing systems figured out, you know, if you're looking into gun, you know, a gun, some ammunition, that's your basic setup, and then looking into doing a little bit of gold and silver. That's how I'd probably approach that. Supu, have you done any lacto fermentation? Kate, maybe if you want to tell me yes or no.
• 1:44:42
  Oh, yes, we yes, we do. Yeah, so we do, yeah, we make homemade sauerkraut. We do, so we have, so you do sauerkraut, we do kefir, not sure if that's lacto fermentation, but we do kefir, which is really, really very, very healthy. We do fermented pickles. So we and when I say we, mean, Kate.
• 1:45:01
  So Kate does this stuff. So she ferments pickles, because Kate's really big on gut health. And in the more you look into the gut health stuff, the more you realize that fermented, you know, fermented foods are really, really good for your body. So we do a lot of fermentation. Okay, Clark, can you say something about milk goats and rabbits for meat?
• 1:45:21
  I hear they're both very easy and produce a lot of food. So we are actually at this process right now on our property that will probably be getting rabbits within the next couple of months. Rabbits are one of the easiest sources of proteins period. They produce rabbits like rabbits, right? There's a reason why everyone says, you know, they compare reproduction with rabbits because they reproduce like mad.
• 1:45:44
  But the good thing is that rabbits will eat like grass clippings, leftover lettuce, rabbits will eat a lot of the greens that are really readily accessible. So they're really easy to feed. They're amazingly, rabbit poop is one of the best fertilizers ever for your garden. So like chicken poop, for instance, you have to let it compost before you put it onto your garden. Cow manure, you got a lot of compost.
• 1:46:06
  It's too nitrogen rich. It's just too hot. It doesn't work really well. But rabbit poop, you can make like a what they call like a rabbit poo tea, which is like a liquid that you kind of I haven't done it yet because I have rabbits. But it's one of the best things for adding nutrients into your soil.
• 1:46:20
  It's, you know, organic, etc. So rabbits are good for me. So Kate and I, we've got about a two acre plot of pasture that we were considering getting goats or lambs or sheep. We are have decided to go with sheep because goats, they're a pain to deal with. Like they will jump over your fences.
• 1:46:39
  They also they're they're much more picky eaters. So it depends on the property you have. Like so say if you have a wooded properly, you have a lot of brush, goats will be maybe fantastic for that. But for us, though, because we just have a pasture of grass with a couple big trees in the middle for shade, we're going be going with sheep, and we're going be going with sheep primarily for milk and meat. So our idea is, again, we're still at the beginning of this journey.
• 1:47:06
  Our idea is to have, you know, three or four sheep with one male, that way we can keep producing, you know, say a couple new sheep every year. And every year, one sheep we take to the butcher, and we get processed to have the meat, but also that we then have the sheep's milk and sheep's milk in general, sheep milk and goat milk are way healthier than cow's milk. Not that cow's milk is not healthy, but they're just so nutrient rich that sheep are and goats are miracle, you know, miracle milk. Alright, so jazzy jazz. If all the Republicans get in office in November, will it help reverse what's happening?
• 1:47:41
  Slow it down? I would say absolutely. I don't think that we can really reverse the train at this point. But I certainly believe that it could slow it down. And I especially think that part of what slows it down or really what helps reverse it or just the best remedy is more people talking about this stuff.
• 1:47:59
  And so I am seeing there are a lot of these Republican candidates that are running, like that are speaking more openly about food shortages, gardening, etc. A lot of the rhinos and the ones sitting in DC, they're not because they kind of want us dead, it seems some days, I feel like that. But so I would certainly say that them getting into office could help slow things down, it could help maybe make things not nearly as bad if they can help make more people aware of it. And if they can help enact some of the changes that need to be happening at the federal and state level. So Clark, have you done any research on Jerusalem artichoke as an ideal, easy and very prolific survival food for a garden?
• 1:48:41
  I haven't done that research, but Kate has. And I know that we have some that we're supposed to plant. I'm not sure if we got them planted or not. But so I'll look into it more of I know oh, we didn't plant that. I think they died.
• 1:48:53
  It's my fault, probably. Oh, they're in the fridge. Okay. Sorry. Kate's in my in the future, I'll have I wanna have Kate come on the show with me, and you guys can talk to her.
• 1:49:01
  That's I want to do that. Anyway, yes. So we've we've we've got some bulbs waiting to be planted. So yes. Sparkling Sarah, have you discussed the breeds of chickens that you chose and why?
• 1:49:17
  So we have chosen we have a handful of breeds, I would say the breed that I've settled on I'm most happy with is the barred rock. When you're looking at what breed of chicken, you have to look at what breed is good for your area. So there's a few considerations. But your first question though should really be do you want a layer? Or do you want a meat bird?
• 1:49:35
  So an egg bird, an egg layer, there are birds that are much better just laying eggs, they have a higher egg production, you might get two fifty, three hundred eggs per year, versus meat birds, which are meats that are basically more they're they're bred to have a lot more meat on them, and they may not be very good egg layers. So if you're that's your first question. If you want a meat or an egg bird, but they also had dual purpose birds. So the bird that we've settled on are barred rocks. They're the stripy gray birds.
• 1:50:05
  They're like a black and white stripe looking bird. And so they're dual purpose birds, meaning they're pretty good egg producers, and they're pretty good for meat. So right now, while we're not planning on eating them immediately, when we picked our breed, we said, you know what, maybe there's a time in the future where we want to be raising birds for meat. If there's, you know, if we can't get ahold of, you know, chickens elsewhere, then we want to raise our own birds for meat. But we also wanted to have good egg producers.
• 1:50:31
  So barred rocks are they're a good dual purpose bird, but they're also because they were originally from the Plymouth Rock, they were one of the earlier birds from the settlers. They're very good for the Ohio climate. So you want to have birds to say you live in Texas, you don't want a bird that is bred to live during like the harsh winter. You want a bird that's more of like a warm weather bird. So barred rocks, they do really well in the summers, and they also do really well in the winters.
• 1:50:57
  James E two fourteen. I'm wondering why Trump promotes the jab. Is it too controversial for his voter base or what? That's a that's a whole can of worms. I've done multiple shows on that one.
• 1:51:08
  I'll try to give you like my my thirty second overview. Is a few things. One is that I think that when he rolled out the vaccine, he had a lot of snakes around him, and he thought that he was doing the right thing. That's for one. So I think that he really believed that he was doing something that would help save humanity and help save lives.
• 1:51:28
  Okay. Now, I also think that Trump is a very prideful person. So I think there is an element of pride that he doesn't want to backtrack because he was so proud of Operation Warp Speed, that if he backtracked now and he acknowledged the the death and destruction of these jabs are causing, I think that it would really be a very difficult thing for him. It really tarnished reputation as it has for a lot of the patriots that see what's happening. The other thing is that, look, I don't think that Trump took money from big pharma.
• 1:51:57
  Like, don't think Trump I agree with those perspectives. But I do believe that if Trump came out, the media is a very, very careful beast to mess with. And if Trump came out and said, and he was say anti vaxxed or talked about it, then he would be eviscerated. And so I do think that Trump is strategically trying to look at what's going to get him back into the White House where he can exert the most control to help save the country. And I think that if he came out and say he was publicly against the vaccine, so many people, even a lot of your conservatives are have got the vaccine, let alone liberals and more centrist.
• 1:52:39
  My guess is a large proportion of have gotten the vaccine. So the if Trump came out and said the vaccine was bad, all he's going to be doing is that he's gonna be appeasing his more conservative base. The people of people that have gotten it or not gotten it have already made up their mind by now. So the people say, well, Trump is pushing it, and everyone's gonna go get it because of Trump and they're gonna die. Look at this stage, if Trump comes out and he says, Hey, the vaccine is good.

  I don't think anyone's gonna rush out to get the vaccine. So I think at this stage of things, like only bad things could happen. So if you came out and you said, let's say on an interview, and he was like, actually, it's really bad. It's causing mass death, etc. All it's going to do is push away those center voters, and the ones on the left that he's trying to win over.

  So that's my kind of quick. That's my quick explanation. Wings over Texas. How long can you store garden seeds? So I'm not an expert on seed storage at all.
• 1:53:36
  But my basic understanding is that a lot of it depends on the seed. I do know that smaller seeds don't store as long as bigger seeds. So corn, sunflower, pumpkin, they have a much longer storage life than say, celery seeds, which are tiny. If you sneeze, you'll lose a whole handful of celery seeds. So some seeds, I think only store up to a year just for the next season.
• 1:54:00
  But some seeds can store for five years, even ten years. Alright, so I've got three more questions. Great questions today, folks. Tamara, what are your or Tamara, I hope I pronounced that right. What are your thoughts on solar generators?
• 1:54:14
  So I think solar generators are also very important. I plan on getting a few smaller solar kits. At one point, we were exploring getting solar done for our whole house to run off of solar. But if you go with a company like a solar company, it would have cost like $100. If I was to do it on my own, it still probably costs 30 or $40 to set up a proper solar system.
• 1:54:36
  And to me, it's just like I, I still have that kind of mind sitting around for something like that. So but what I am gonna be looking into doing though is just getting, like you can get these little kits from Jackery, which actually I'll pull this up and I apologize it's gonna be an Amazon link but that's because it's an easy place to show you something. So Jackery. So Jackery, this is what I'm considering getting is something like this. Right?
• 1:55:00
  So right here, this is the Jackery. Here's one of their setups. So this one's more expensive. That one's $3, But you can get them for like $1,500 or $1,800. And basically what it is, is it's a small solar generator, that little battery pack right there that converts your sun into your electricity.
• 1:55:20
  So if you can see, there's USB ports on that, power ports, etc. But I'm looking at like this as something that if, for instance, like if the generator is not working, say it it stops working, and the natural the natural gaskets cut off or whatever happens, that this is like the last resort. So if I have to say run a whole house fan to keep my house kind of cooler during the summer, if I need to run a fridge off of it, you know, like one fridge, so these smaller systems will allow you to run a little bit like that. And so my my plan is to get maybe one or two of these just to have as backup or to have for say charging power tools, you know, because a lot of my tools are battery powered. And so if I have to build structures, or build gardens or whatever, if I don't have electricity to charge my drills, I'm also making sure I have redundancy, have backup, you know, hand crank drills, hand saws, Japanese wood saws, etc.
• 1:56:18
  But I'm still trying to look at this and say, Look, if I, you know, if I had to power my, or charge my drill, or charge my circular saw, I still have access to that. So that's my perspective. I'm looking at, you know, kind of building out a smaller solar system, but that being just the absolute last resort, if everything else, if all else fails. Because if you want to build out a solar system that will actually power your home, if you want to truly be off grid like that, you're looking at, it's a lot of money, twenty, thirty thousand dollars plus to do that. Unless unless you're living in like a 800 square foot cabin with very little, then maybe you could build it for less.
• 1:57:00
  Domino truth. Have you heard of energy? I n e r g y portable solar generators? I haven't yet I will. So I haven't bought those other ones yet.
• 1:57:10
  So I will look into those ones. Thank you for that. Alright. Scott Monson, have you looked into that sustainable farming guy whose name I can't remember yet and consider having him on the show? So I looked into a lot of sustainable farming guys.
• 1:57:27
  I do want to start having some of them coming onto the show. And actually, just so you know, I'll give you a little bit of preview, but Kate and I are planning to actually start a whole new channel. So we will start a new channel that is just so I've got Man in America doing Man in America stuff. But we want to start a channel together that is just focused on prepping and farming and tradition and, you know, baking and all that kind of stuff. So I'll keep you updated on that.
• 1:57:51
  But I don't want man in America to get to become like a homesteading channel, you know, it's important to still have a voice as it relates to politics and what's happening around the world and everything, China, etc. So we are planning on having a new channel that is just what we're gonna be focusing on. This is our life and our journey of kind of, you know, new homesteaders and the process we're going through. So Alright, folks. Well, that is, that's all the questions.
• 1:58:17
  Had that's an hour worth of questions, which I really enjoyed each and every question. And I just want to thank, I want to thank every one of you that comes on here, you know, whether it's Scott Monson, or Metal Avenger, TJ Hiker, Chicken Coop Lady, there's there's so many of you cracking hoe, kick him in the cabals. I just, you know, I love all of you. And I want to thank every single one of you for being part of Rise TV. I really appreciate it so much because you're the reason why I can do what I do.
• 1:58:45
  So just again, thank you for all of your support. I hope this was a helpful episode for you. I, you know, again, I guess there's some great questions. So hopefully you can walk away from this feeling a little more empowered. I can tell you that the more you get involved in actually doing things, gardening, you know, canning, etc, the less you worry about what's going to happen.
• 1:59:08
  It's a beautiful process. You know, Kate and I both have gone from being in state of anxiety and worry and fear to being in this state of actually like this is this beautiful process of returning to tradition. And we're really, really enjoying it. And it's this it's this journey. So I hope that you can, you know, start that journey if you haven't yet.
• 1:59:28
  If you're on it already, kudos to you. Make sure you tune in tomorrow at 2PM. I'll be interviewing Greg Phillips from two thousand mules. And then tomorrow night at 07:30PM. We've got the edge of wonder jot guys.
• 1:59:41
  I think that they're doing Jurassic Park tomorrow at 07:30. So it'll be a fun episode. All right. Well, thank you all so much. I'm gonna go outside my garden now.
• 1:59:51
  It's like 98 degrees in Ohio. Can't wait. So take care. I love you all and I will see you all tomorrow. Have a wonderful rest of your day.
