I'm

Oh, good evening, good morning, good afternoon wherever you are in this beautiful blue planet emergency broadcast coming to you DAP 2030 channel tonight right along with Civilization Cycle podcast throwing it all into the bucket because it seems like the weather's being thrown into a bucket as

well. We got the freezing rain, we got the sle, we got the snow, the blizzards, and what's most important to talk about tonight is with the power outages coming, like how do you protect yourself with some of these things? I didn't have enough time to get a full video edited before the live show here.

So, I'm going to bring you the research I had up to about 8:30 this evening, talking about arrival times, what you can expect, uh, power outages that are expected with this, about how long you can expect to be without power, and depending on how much

more north or south this storm were to shift, how much it's going to impact the rest of us. So, first thing, uh, talked to the Tennessee Valley Authority today because you all know I'm over in East Tennessee. So, I talked to TVA myself. Scott was very nice. Their media person

took me aside for a second here on the phone and uh, we talked for about 20 minutes. So he was saying that the main trunk lines on those, you know, those high voltage cables that you see way above 100 foot above your head there, giant tension towers, those since the last uh storms that they

had with OT, they now have bulk transmission lines that have heat tracing on them, meaning that they have a line that's going, they have a a heating filament that's going along the 500 kilovolt lines. So he's like, that is not going to ice over. that is already meant to be warm enough that

when anything were to come onto it, the heat will dissipate and it'll just roll off as water. What he did say was transmissions into localized power grids are going to fail. What he means by that is down here in Fort Lden where I'm at,

so TVA is the large provider like Urkott is down in Texas or uh PJM if you're looking at sort of Ohio over to New York. that sort of that generalized area. So, you get these giant power providers that have those, like I say, the giant stansion towers bringing power

to localized communities and they're for those uh more localized power distributors, then take it out into your community and up to your house. That's where the failures are going to occur. It's not going to be the actual uh large cables that you're seeing above

your head. Yeah. Exploding tree alert. That is and thank you Taco Banana by the way for the buy me a coffee. Uh thank you for supporting us every week with your your kind buying us double espressos to keep going through the night. I got a nice uh coffee right here

to go with you working late. I am trying to prepare for this storm as well being in East Tennessee right down in the center of the center here. I'm trying to get prepared myself. So word on the street here at least for us seven days of power no power or seven days without

power. Now the generally uh what's being given around in the news is three to five days with no power. I'm going to run through a bunch of slides with you tonight uh give the update and what you can expect with sle or rain like how do they define this? But Fort Lden Power is

definitely not going to survive through this if we get any types of let's say droplets. And I'm here with Ransom Godwin tonight as well. And let's start on I I got a little presentation for you here.

Yeah, I think we need to Again, this is a video I was working on. So, what we can expect here, forecasters are warning of potentially catastrophic storms uh from Texas to the Carolinas. Now, this is no joke. This is going to be the biggest storm uh at least in five or six

decades. It's not so much about the snow. It's about the ice, the power outages, and the subsequent freezing cold that's going to come after that. So, anything that drops now will not melt off for at least four days. I'll put that in perspective. We get it's not a the lines are going to come down. The

trees the lines are going to be themselves iced up with an extra 5 to 800 lb of ice on it. You know, those uh usually 3 to 400 feet is the span that is going to have an extra several hundred lbs on it. And then you're going to get iced trees falling on that. These

lines are going to start coming down everywhere. So, the crews as according to TVA, they're going to have uh extra transmission line crews out ready, but their bulk transmission uh cables is what they're going to be focusing on. Your local power provider

needs to uh get on its own and you know, we send an enormous amount of our replacement transmission uh electrical infrastructure to Ukraine. So transformers that we might need if

something were to get blown, those are overseas. When this comes down, it's going to take a little while to repair. So the point of tonight's, you know, show is please get prepared. We're going to talk a little about emergency preparedness. You know, Ransom is really on the money with that as well. So let me widen this out a

bit here. It's kind of Why is it half screen like that? There we go. I'll even turn myself off on that. Doesn't matter. snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Uh, this is what people are, you know, a little confused about, and this is what the news is

confusing as well. Like they'll throw all these terms at you and be like, "Oh, there's going to be freezing rain. Oh, there's going to be sleep." But really, what does that mean? Like, if you're in some of these areas with the uh with forecast maps, this is what the precipitation coming down is. I wish they would define it more, especially they like throw all these terms on and

you're supposed to expect to know it. Uh, most people don't. Snow, obviously, snowball fights, fun, snowmen, roll downhill, sledding. Yay. Sleet is the stuff borderline grl or uh or graul or however you like to call it. It's a

European uh term for it where the snow turns into little icy balls, but it's not exactly sleet. So, there could be another where I could split the hair there between snow, sleet, and grapule. But sleet is it comes down. It's almost like hail, but not really because not

coming from a thunderstorm. it it partially melts, refreezes into a hard pellet. But where we're sitting here is the freezing rain. This stuff is dropping from rain in a higher elevation, say 15,000 ft, and then it comes through a cold layer, let's say at 5,000 ft. And as it's

coming down, it doesn't have enough time to freezeish, but it's almost at the point of being frozen by the time it exits that, you know, 5,000 ft cold air column. And b, whatever it touches, it freezes instantly onto it. That's freezing rain. That's what's coming. So, there's a huge

difference in uh you know what the type of precipitation that you're going to be looking at. Most of this is what your cars are going to look like at the end of the event if you don't cover them or you don't bring them undercover. Uh and sometimes this is really difficult to get your cars open. So, do yourself a

favor. Maybe cover your key locks or something so you're at least able to insert a key. Uh maybe cover a handle. I would suggest covering one door with a tarp or some sort of plastic so you have at least one entryway into your car. Like you can turn it on and, you know,

leave the heater on for a long time and it'll eventually, you know, defrost your windshield. Going to take a minute depending on the thickness of the of the uh ice that falls down. This freezing rain, most people say, "What's freezing rain?" Well, this is the this is what it looks like at the end of it. You know, these

kind of catastrophic events. This is what I'm talking about. The power poles are going to get pulled down everywhere. Uh, this is the end of a freezing rainstorm. So, as we come through, what would your neighborhood be like? It's not so much the power poles being down, but all this is in your way. Like, how

many of you had chainsaws ready to go? This is what we need as a community to come together. Like, I'm going to help my neighbor. I know the woman who's 87 years old next door. She's not prepared, but we're going to get her in a house if we have to. We're going to make sure she's warm. got food. She doesn't have

any family over there, but take care of your community during this time. I'm going to be out with neighbors cutting this off of our roads. And if we need to go down a half mile mile and help other people, cut it off. Get extra fuel. Make sure you got, you know, uh, your oil so

you can mix your 40 or 50 to1 depending on what kind of saw you're running. But it's going to be a community effort to get through this and be able to come together. And this is what it's all about having community anyway because communities are going to clean up way faster than government because they're slow feet draggers.

And if y'all are going to be traveling, this is the expected uh cancellations of flights already. Like these are the planned cancellation of flights based on preliminary weather balloon data that's coming out and flights that they're taking. They're doing overflights of these uh of where where the storm's

moving. That's 5,000 flights on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. 5,000 flights in America are going to be totally cancelled. You're not even going to be able to get to the airport. So, this is already what they're planning to cancel in advance of it even being too treacherous to get

there. If you get stuck on the road somewhere, you're going to need extra supplies in your car. You know, please, you know, if you're in the icy areas, do not travel if at all possible. This comes back to like pioneering homestead

and medicine. If you get hurt, cut yourself, I mean, what kind of medical supplies do you have? Because you're not getting to the hospital on icy roads with like a half an inch of ice or an inch of ice, frozen rain on that road, you're not going anywhere. It's going to come back to a pioneering lifestyle. How prepared are you for taking care of

whatever kind of emergency? Because wherever you see on this map, we are pretty much back to the 1860s. You and your neighbors take care of your health, your injuries, water. You're going to need to think about these things. Uh, luckily we have a pond like just a few hundred feet from

here. If I need to flush the toilets and everything fails, we just go down and get buckets of water out of the pond. And remember, you can gravity flush a toilet. If you can get a water source somewhere, it doesn't have to be the cleanest water. You don't have to boil it, purify it. Bring a five gallon bucket in and just pour it right into your toilet bowl and that will flush for

you. Or if you want to, you can add it in the top if you want to save it for later and go get another five gallon bucket. Just store it somewhere. Store it in the toilet. You don't need the actual water running from the city to be able to flush your toilets. You need to be able to gravity feed and flush that thing. So, think about that. So, here's

your ice forecast coming in. Now, I I'm going mainstream media first and then we're going to get into some really incredible graphs here off the European models as well as the GFS models. And I do thank everybody else out there, the weather forecasters from uh Ryan Maui,

Big Joe Barde, Ryan Hall, y'all, shout out. Uh BAM weather. There's just so many out there that I've been following. Thank you for putting the info out. Ice forecast. Anywhere you see these colors, people just aren't going to be able to travel for a minute. It's going to And then after the ice falls going to

be four days of below freezing. This is not going to melt off. Now half an inch is catastrophic. You have major massive widespread power failures at a half inch of ice on things. You're going to have so many trees down and power lines

literally ripped off the poles. That's going to take a couple weeks to fix. All right, you're looking at a good week. How are you going to keep yourself warm? What kind of food do you have that you can prepare if you don't have like gas uh gas and yeah, if you have propane or whatever, but if you don't have an

electric stove, I mean, do you have a generator to plug something in like a hot plate boiler plate so you can cook food? We're we're pulling back in the past here. The Amish, they're going to be fine. ind the Menanites. We need to start thinking like them right now. How are you going to do everything without electric? I have generator. I can fire

it up. Uh we got gas. We can cook it up. But if you don't and about your headlights, you're going to be running around the house. Unless you're burning candles. Beware of the fire risk. I got lanterns that are all battery. We can recharge. They're all rechargeable batteries. So, think about these things as you move forward, too. If you don't

have light in your house, how are you going to move around at night? We're so used to flicking on and off the switch. How's that going to occur? So, this is the ice steps that they're looking for as we come in uh as totals here. And that's significant. So, Friday PM, this is the progression of it. So, Friday PM

is going to be somewhere around like southern Oklahoma into say northern Texas, Witchaw, but then that thing is going to quickly move over to Arkansas. And Ryan, shout out if you're listening up there tonight. Got a buddy of mine living over near there. and he is telling me this yesterday

they were like elbow fighting in the stores for goods that everything was getting stripped and cleaned out in advance of this storm here. So, Friday PM in the evening, it's going to start sort of mid in, you know, past the grow belt here. As we swing into Saturday, Saturday night, that's going to be into,

you know, that that area there of Arkansas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, coming into northern Mississippi, and then it's going to swing over into Tennessee. And this is where uh we're going to start to see some significant power outages. Again, this is all Fox Weather. They're

very general in it. I'm over in East Tennessee, so I've seen so many wishwash. This whole forecast thing is kind of a game. Anyway, it's north, it's south, it's going north, it's pulling south again. Like, we just really, nobody even knows with our high-tech where this storm is going to go. Like,

they're expecting, see that down in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the busiest, if not the busiest airport in America, total shutdown for days. They can't even deise the runways. It's going to be so incredible. So, you know, we're looking at some very significant travel delays.

So, you see where it says Nashville, if you go a little bit to the right where it hooks up where that sort of grayish is, I'm in that bottom there of East Tennessee, but that has switched three times so far and totally covered, not covered, totally covered, not covered. The power outages, as far as I've been

told, now some things I can say and some things I can't say. So, I'm going to be very careful not to burn my sources on this one. mountain towns, you're going to be last to get repaired. You better prepare. I mean, to the nth degree. You are going to be served last. They

are going for hospitals, fire stations, military bases, and all these uh infrastructures first. Secondly, anybody who's on like a medical list is going to get their line served second. Those in the mountains, uh I'm sorry to

say, you're you're going to be cut off for some time. cities, you're going to have to wear be very vigilant of your security. There's going to be a huge amount of power outages through the bigger cities and smaller towns and suburbs and

things. People like to take advantage. I remember ransom telling me a story here which we'll go through. Significant rain uh is going to now once the bottom there where it's pushing up through Atlanta. See Atlanta's been frozen not frozen frozen again many times. So this map is an ever moving uh tapestry of fun

colors. So pretty much everywhere in uh where it says sign severe sign basically this entire colored map is where they're going to lose power to some degree for some lengths of time. Now publicly publicly I'm allowed to say 3 to 5 days.

Expect it. But read between my lines. You are going to need to get prepared. Three to five days is what they're saying publicly. you might want to get a little uh you know more off-grid ready. It's all I'm going to say than uh what's being

forecast. It's going to overwhelm the system. I mean, there's only so many teams. There's only so many repair parts. Everybody's going to be pulling at the same time. This thing's nearly 2,000 miles wide. You're going to have, you know, 15 states vying for uh people who know how to know how to do electrical infrastructure,

put it back together, the trades, all the transmission line crews. The parts are not there. That's the whole thing. The parts are not there. We have given them away. So, generally, you expect a catastrophic event like this on a localized area. Might be like West Tennessee, uh, northern Mississippi or

something. Shout out Danny Deep South Homestead down there if you're listening tonight in Mississippi. Wanda as well, you too. Good to see you all. Uh, widespread. It's usually very localized, so they can bring in repair

parts from other local and kind of focus and funnel it into a certain area. We have not seen anything like this since the 1960s in such a widespread area and we're just not prepared for this. We just don't have the repair gear for this. They're going to have to fly it in from

other countries to get it to us. And remember, some of these are not on the same system. Like if you're using a DCAC system, they're going to have to uh rig it to get it to work. It's going to be on the fly changing of specifications to fit just good enough to get it to work

until we can get something else to repair it. That's the level this is going to. And I'm sitting here going, "Whoa, yeah, yeah, this is not acceptable." You know, and I can't remember if I had another slide in there with some deposition of uh sleep. No, that's it. That's your sleep map. Okay. Sleet is that round

hail like substance that comes down. You can drive through sleet. It doesn't cover everything. It's just like, you know, small tiny hail. That's doable. We can get through that without even blinking an eye. Snow. Southeast doesn't have snow plows, but they can, you know, people can stay home

and wait for the melt. All right. That doesn't bring down power lines. This stuff does. So, again, this is the European model here, ECMWF. So you can go to tropical tidbits and I encourage you to go. So anybody out there, it's tropical tidbits.com.

That's tropical and like a tidbit like a tidbit of something. tropicalidbits.com. Go to the analysis models. You can scrape up the uh atmospheric concentration. They'll show you different precipitation models there. You're going to go want to go to European model run. There's like three

different European model runs. Stay with ECMWF. Go to uh GFS also for a closer in view. This has been changing as well. It's really gotten super high up on the levels here and then it's it's back down again. So, this is a significant

accumulation amount here. I put these two maps together. These were two different charts from uh Ryan Maue. Thank you. You can check him out over on X and Big Joe Bardi as well over on X. They have these charts up there for you. Pivotal Weather as well is uh running a

bunch of free charts right now and Elon is going to be letting Starlink go for free for everybody. So, thank him for that. So, here's our freezing rain again. Now, there's two different European models and they're showing different levels and uh different accumulations of ice. So, again, you got

three model runs with three different tallies on this. That's why it's so confusing for everybody out there. This is the freezing rain that is starting in Texas. Like I said, it's going to be like scraping southern Oklahoma and getting over into Arkansas there. This is the be beginning accumulations.

This will start occurring on Friday, which is tomorrow. Now, I've seen some model runs pulling it down under, you know, half of what you're seeing here. So, these totals in the dark red, uh I've seen some, you know, the models are all over the place on this. But one thing they're all unanimous on is

freezing rain's coming and it's going to cover an enormous amount of everything. And if we follow these same models out all the way over to the east coast, then we start to see the mountain areas there. All of you in North Carolina uh that were damaged in Helen, you're going

to get damaged again badly right now. Please prepare for this. They're not going to be able to get to you for some time. 3 to five days is what they say publicly. Okay? you know how long it took for emergency management services to get up and and do anything for you in eastern Tennessee

and also up in the Appalachin areas of North Carolina. It is going to be a delay again. Please prepare yourselves. You're going to have to work with your friends and families again. Please prepare yourselves. And uh if we move along here, the

forecast uh the precipitation types here, the blue is the snow. The green is just pure rain and the yellow is going to be more sort of thunderstorms and super super heavy rain. What you're looking at in that orangey color is the the frozen, you know, precipitation

that's come down, that freezing rain. So it looks like that striated color and they those bands are just going to continue to morph amongst themselves. So you can watch how this moves out. Now at the very top you're going to see the time stamp there. So the validity is on the top and the left and you can see

this will be for the 25th at zero Zulu which is Greenwich meantime which is uh we're three hours back of that or four hours now with the time change. Four hours back. So that'd be what 8:00 p.m. on the 25th.

So just roll your time back and this will be good through and there so they're time stamps. So follow the next time stamp up. It's going to move and the storm's going to pick up velocity in terms of like wind speeds and that's is where the ice cold comes in right after

that. So look at the time stamp from the 25th at say 8:00 p.m. or the 24th at 8 p.m. coming in. And then uh as we move through to the next stamp here, it's 18 hours later. But look how fast and ferocious that storm had moved. The wind

is going to get atrociously quick and fast. But the wind chills with this too. And you're going to have sideways blowing freezing rain. And the wind chills that are going to come behind this are going to be subzero in the southeast US. I've seen some

forecast so far right where I live at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but that doesn't include the wind. So, you can see I just don't know how granular they can get because I don't know if you can see my mouse, but if you look right there, this little bit that's

poking in there of the green. They're trying to get that granular on their models of how that's just going to be pure rain and no ice. But then on other models, it shows us totally ice covered and not green. So, I mean, again, this is a hodgepodge of everything European models. Uh, and then

we're coming to the snow after that. All right. So, as this thing's coming in, it's it's colliding with the Gulf moisture. You're getting all the snow rolling through here. Um, percentages are inches, you can see on the right there. You can convert to centimeters if you're elsewhere in the

world listening to us here. So, this will bring us through uh 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and it'll keep accumulating, but as we get up through the rest of the storm,

22 in, and this is up in Virginia. So, here's the thing about the TVA power grid. Everywhere else that fails is going to try to pull from us down here. And uh what is that? River. Hey, River. How's it going, man? Heaven Earth down there.

They're building the hemp houses down just a little bit south of me and they're also getting prepared cuz they're going to get a little more heavy hit than we are. So the snow totals through Virginia, remember one thing about Virginia, data center heavy. So when the power

goes out, unless they have their own generation capacity, it probably won't matter anyway because most of the internet lines will be down. Uh these data centers are going to struggle. So they're already predicting some let's say uh interruptions in services like Amazon

web service any of this stuff it's all going to get disrupted data centers are going to be on their own little islands of being able to crank their own power but they won't be able to send message anywhere because the lines that actually carry that transmission whether it be whatever signal it is going out is not going to

be able to transmit. though we have relied and sent spent too much reliance on these data centers and we're going to watch them go down one after one and they're going to become their own information islands for about a week. So if you're looking at you you know there's a huge online banking if you're

going to go get money go get it now. ATMs don't run you're probably not going to be able to get out there on the freezing rain if you're in these areas. There's just so many things that are just knock-on effects that would spin your mind. Now, the temperatures here is what's going to follow this. So, the storm's

coming in first. We got the freezing rain, got snow and everything. But then we get these sub-zero temperatures coming in. And even down in the southeast US, you know, I've seen, like I say, 60° Fahrenheit for my uh forecast. And that's kind of cold down here. But this will absolutely smash your mind open. Look how cold it is

going to get with the apparent temperatures. Like up in Minnesota for example, 50 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. These are some of the coldest temperatures ever recorded in America for this part of our country. If it if the models run

out and if they do um come through that. So model is established on they ran this on the 20th. So it's two-day old model run. So again, will it hold? That's the whole thing is will it hold cuz this Arctic

front is uh getting kind of nasty. And that's it. Thank you for sticking with me on that. I do believe most important uh update of what we can expect. Almost everything internet that you

expect to be there will not be there. There's redundancies across a decentralized grid of data centers that are sending information from one point to another. The problem is there's going to be all these snipped and disconnected uh

grids and and the transmission is just not going to be available. So things that are looped through inner banking, there's going to be a giant divide in the United States. Secure data over satellites, not really. They still send that stuff on cables.

Anything that you do online, you can expect disruptions. Uh banking would be one. The ATMs is going to be another thing. So, just a distant early warning. Your ATMs aren't going to work for seven days or so. People are going to need money to try to

facilitate commerce during this time. And if you don't have any extra spare money around, you just aren't going to have access to it. Which comes on to the security aspect again, which I was told you need to bump up security, bro. A lot of things are a lot of moving

parts here. So, where does it take us? And the other thing I I'm really just dissatisfied with is even our local news is still calling it just a wintry mix. Two days out before a national emergency and they're just calling it a wintry mix. Like that's a very large disservice

for everybody out here that should be getting prepared. Was talking about this two two and a half days ago. All the people on that are doing, you know, independent weather forecasting, we're talking about this days and days and days ago. But our local news will sit in there to their thumbs. So, it's

going to be a winterry mix. People are going to die because they don't have power. They're going to freeze in their homes. Your wintry mix. Come on. You know, this is the whole thing is why are so many people now starting to gravitate toward independent journalism versus

mainstream media? Well, independent journalism gave you a three-day head start on what's coming. That's the whole thing is I'm really shocked that they are not well we don't want to cause a panic. I get it. I understand your messaging. You don't want to cause a panic. But to tell

people to get ready that your power could go out to three to five days. That's a national message now. And you're still scrubbing your thumbs going, "Oh, it's just a winry mix." What are you going to do? Tell people tomorrow when the when the storm is on the doorstep. I mean, hell, all around Knoxville, these stores are getting sold

out. And, you know, all the way over, my friend over in Arkansas was saying, dude, they were actually like elbow fighting to try to get in and get the goods, get the last of the water, get all these things. So, where does that leave our nation? What kind of messaging should there be during this time? You can't let these

people sit until the last 24 hours and tell them to finally get ready. That is not that something is very broken. if they're that worried about social panic that they're willing to let people go to the last minute before they tell them there's an event. I think

something is very broken in our emergency messaging here and that's another thing to talk about tonight. So, Ransom, thanks for joining. I know I hogged up that first 30 minutes, but that was the video I was trying to get done before we got on show here tonight, but I just ran out of time because, you know, the information is just flying.

It's all brand new. coming in by every every three hours the models are changing, >> right? Well, actually, you know, we were talking about this last week. I showed that uh GIF of these polar reaches down into the states. So, we kind of did even

talk about it a week ago >> and here it is. It's the last minute and now they are the headlines are coming out to try to make people take it seriously too late. like they should have been uh doing things the last couple days already. Uh but anyway,

check this out. Remember all the Kroger stores? >> Yeah, I know. My parents went into Kroger and said it was just insane. Also insane, >> right? >> All right. Venture Sky. Good one. Pull it up. I'll pull up some uh you know, no

and sort of gov models here in a second. But what do we got? Well, this is ironic because, you know, I was seeing that a lot with the slides you had, too. This is just like a typical summer deadly storm. Exactly the way it's

rolling across. It starts out New Mexico. You remember I I uh mentioned that? >> Yeah. You were talking about the track of it last time. >> Yeah. So, this is on that same track. So, all the places that would normally get hit by tornadoes or things like that are all going to be frozen. Um, just

watch this. This is starting on Friday here. And when this this rolls through here, you could see it just reached down. But when I switch to the uh precipitation, this is me over here in this empty spot uh out in New Mexico. And the mountains

right to the east of us is where a bunch of this moisture is just popping up on the map. and into Saturday that stuff rolls over here and gets up into, you know, uh, Kansas and Missouri, Arkansas, and all that stuff. All the same places that would normally get hit by tornadoes

are now going to be hit by extreme cold because this is right where the moisture is going to meet. Um, and it's going to track all the way across the US just like that. Here's some uh from that same website. >> Yeah, you got the GFS model up there, not the European. Yeah, you're having trouble tidbits. Yeah. If everybody

please go there, you can get up to the minute data. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, if I start that back over, you see it just kind of pops up in New Mexico. >> Yeah. >> Boom. >> And there it goes. Right. It is. It's like American monsoon coming from uh the Baja area too. That switch in in

>> atmospheric delivery. >> And at least this guy this time, at least on the national media within the last day, they're actually, you know, saying stuff. Meteorologist warm Americans may need help to survive. Historic weekend snowstorm New York

cities now faces uh forecast to get up to 16 in of snow. Here's another one. >> Let me ransom stop for just a second, please. That is a UK publication. Now, I don't know how many Americans are surfing UK news to try to get American uh warnings here. So, that's what I'm

saying. This is a complete disconnect of our emergency services and what's really happening out here and how just memorable this this event will be, >> right? >> Saying it. >> Then here's another one. I like I like the terms they use, too, because this is

the stuff I watch for in pattern recognition all the time. New York could see its biggest snowfall in years. So, I've already heard that a couple times. Uh, but here you go. considerable disruption to transportation and daily life from Sunday into Monday. And then

it gets over here where it really starts telling you what's going on. 230 million people. So think about the entire population of the United States versus how many people are probably going to be affected either with heavy storm, ice,

power outages, etc. This is reminiscent a lot of Helen as far as they waited till the last minute to actually say something to people and then alo also the areas that are going to be hit. Um I

I think you even touched on that like mountainous areas, rural areas, uh when the power goes out there, they're going to be the last people um to get fixed, to get turned back on. And this really reminds me, if I could interject, wasn't that the whole plan to try to get people

out of the countryside back into the cities? >> Yeah, that's agenda 2030 stuff there. Right. >> Well, read off the World Economic Forum news of this week, isn't it? >> But think about that. >> Tread lightly there. >> Right. Texas to the norththeast 230

million. And then here we get into some better catastrophic winter storm. >> Catastrophic >> set to hit 200 million people. So, and and again, this is, you know, stuff that I I didn't see this on any of the main this is kind of like the tabloid type

newses. >> And the Sun, well, although it's a US sun, the Sun is a UK publication as well, >> right? >> So, again, why is it our foreign media is telling us Americans about our thing that we're not even hearing about in our own country. This is just in itself.

They're going to wait till tonight and tomorrow to start, you know, saying it like on the Weather Channel big time. Oh, now you need to pay attention. Extreme winter storm threat sparks historic natural gas spike. In other words, it ain't just electricity and

other they're they're planning on outages of several different kinds. And when I was >> Could you scroll down on that article? Do they show you the gas rise? It went from it's the highest fastest rise in in natural gas prices ever recorded in a single session.

>> It went from like uh it nearly doubled in price in a single uh trading day. >> Well, it's down to >> it is now but during a couple day that two days ago it was not that was >> Yeah. biggest weekly increase since 1990.

>> Yeah. >> Right there. That second one blue right there in that paragraph. But they don't tell it was it was the highest on record and it increased the most on record. >> Only seen a couple of moves like this in the last 30 years, right? >> Um and you know 40% of America is hooked

up to natural gas to warm them to run their um dryers and their stove and and sometimes even refrigerators. Um but yeah, >> wait, what comes with that though? And another thing everybody, please understand, the colder the temperatures get, the less pressurization there is in

the lines. And with this has happened many a time before, when they get into singledigit temperatures, they start losing compression on those lines. And there then there's natural gas outages as well down because they don't have the pressure to keep pushing.

There's a reduction in pressure, let's say. So colder it gets, the less pressure you're going to start to see variances in your in your gas pressures. So, >> right, there's they're saying seven states. I saw >> crippling ice storm. That's a different lexicon there, isn't it?

>> Right. And I've seen uh reports up to eight states deploying the National Guard. Here's a crippling. See, there's that same term on a different site. Crippling winter storms coming. Utilities are at risk. So, they are kind of now, you know, late telling you.

Here's another one. As winter storms approach, Texas officials say they're ready. They're not going to repeat the 2021 catastrophe that happened. But then again, um I forgot where it was out here. I had another one. Um that was showing that

maybe maybe it will be maybe they were already planning on that. >> What's the headline there on that one? Can you >> This is an old article old article that I found from July 10th of 2025. It's talking about like a month-long blackout. And the reason that they're

giving is not necessarily weather but when the weather comes who gets the electricity um which in this article talks about the increasing number of data centers and AI needing that energy. So you can, you

know, guess if we had some kind of real, you know, catastrophe, um maybe a couple of catastrophes at the same time, um that it wouldn't be just one or two days that you'd be worried

about. You might be out of touch for weeks. Who knows? And we talked about this with the hurricanes before. And when we talked about it, sure enough, and that Helen, there was cleanup happening for months and months afterwards. I'm sure they're still

cleaning up the mess from that now. And look how long they were not only out of touch of communication, but no power, no water, no gas, no food, no nothing. And the federal government didn't really help at that time. Um, maybe they might

in the future, maybe they will, maybe they won't, but it's best not to depend on them, especially when, you know, earth-based storms aren't the only threat, right? We're having an increasing amount of uh, solar storms right here. Uh, what to know about the biggest solar storm to

blast Earth in over 20 years. Well, it wasn't actually that big. It was only like a >> It was fast though. It was fast. It was up around uh 12-,500 kilometers per second and it came screaming off there. So, yeah. And it was it was one of the

highest, you know, solar winds that we'd seen in terms of speed, like velocity, how fast it's moving, >> right? >> But another thing, you know, is could this should be used as a psychological experiment to see how people would react on a three-day power outage, a 7-day

power outage, like after our live shows, we got to keep some metrics. Okay, how many people viewed during the live show? How many people viewed uh 3 days past a live show after it's been loaded up into Rumble or YouTube or somewhere? And then what's the 7-day totals? What's the 14-day total? What's the 30-day total?

So, we try to keep this sheet after our shows just what what are our metrics like? Is it increasing after a certain amount of time of people watching, listening? Would you not do the same thing? Like, how do people behave after a three-day power outage? Okay, what about seven days? I mean, what could they glean from this as they leave

places purposely off for a little bit longer just because they can run the experiment a little longer? I mean, I'm not even kidding when I say this. You as a government, would you not want to know how people react 30 days out with no power? If you had the chance to get that

data, would you just blame it on a natural event and scrape that data? Is that is that too farfetched or am I out in my own little like dark world over here up on some sort of cosmic uh orc

cloud or something? >> No, I I I think that uh you know a lot of us in the circle of these topics know that they have not updated or fixed our grid in the proper way that they should. not only from the sun, but from winter

storms, from ex excessive extreme heat, any of that stuff. And the uh infrastructure they're building doesn't seem to be for humans. >> No, it doesn't. And I'm really surprised

that this graphic that I looked at earlier uh was 24-hour show. It was just showing you the the risk impacts of There it goes. Again, I'm going to say one thing about our webs as well. A lot of our data is

hosted on some of these data centers here from the government, but so many people are pulling on these sites at the same time right now. They're actually being overwhelmed with traffic. It's not a DDoS attack. It's actually hundreds of millions of people going to the Noah website going, "Yo, where is this danger

going to be?" and and as you take the slider bar forward, which is slower than normal, you can see the the different impacts. Okay, this one's available for you. I hope you can see the uh web address up there. It's wpcncepa.gov.

Or you could just put in u weather impacts, storm impacts, Noah, NOA. The amount of disruption that you're looking at here is it just hasn't been seen before in our country. I mean, the the amount of disruption uh all at one

time occurring, like I say, usually it's regional where a little sliver of somewhere will get hit. This is everywhere all at the same time. I just don't know if we've ever had like a protocol to be able to dive into something this with, you know, this is

not even the deep end. This is off like a high dive in Aapulco into the deep end. Major impacts are coming in where you see that dark more really dark brick color that is major to extreme impacts. And as you get the coloration moving out into that sort of red and then the

yellows and the blues, winter weather area is going to be sort of that blue drive carefully. The aqua area get into yellow that's more minor impacts into that periphery like orange I wouldn't say but the darker yellow like the really uh like gold color that's minor

to moderate. And when you get into the red that's moderate but once you get into those darker like bricks that's when we get into major impacts. So, I'm looking at this going, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." That is a huge amount of area. And see, the thing about it is I'm looking at it in a different fashion. I'm looking at crisscrossing power grids

across America. I'm looking at Urkott over there, PJM up there from Washington West into Virginia, and I'm looking at the TVA, all getting crisscrossed like a sliced cake here. This is what's so interesting to look at this. Don't look

at it in terms of states. Look at it in terms of power providers and you notice how they don't give you any more information too. >> They should have if if you can get out a seven to 10 day forecast coming off GFS models or whatever. How is our

government not able to go you know three days out or four days out clean, you know, clean like that and the delays to get in? Okay, there it goes. Is there just so such an overwhelm on these sites that our government's trying to uh you know give us information that I can't

believe it's this slow and like you know emergencies are coming in and and people are having trouble even accessing this information in terms of storms right like here's another one uh the the know this is uh the newest

250 UTC remember you got to subtract some time so we're okay there we go 342 it's coming around we'll be around 11. Yeah. 4 3 2 1 12 11. Yeah. 5 hours difference. Anywhere down here in this pink or this dark purple here. We'll click on one of

those. And uh wintertorm warning, ice storm warning, winter weather, and okay, so here's Memphis, Tennessee, and then uh you go south, you get in Arkansas, Mississippi over there. Alabama's all this way.

So, heaviest snow. Now, these are things that you normally don't see in the uh southeast US, right? Especially when you're coming down into what's that Mississippi here. Like, you just don't normally get this kind of >> pretty low. >> Yeah, pretty low. Significant levels,

elevated ice storms expected. So, the highest level extremes like northern Mississippi is just going to get pelted. They're not used to this cold anyway, but the nothing's hardened for ice in any of these southern states. So, what I'm saying is what they're telling you

in the news of 3 to 5 days is what they're telling you in the news. You might just want to get ready for a little bit longer period of time, >> right? >> The amount of damage to the actual physical lines, it's not like resetting a switch and, you know, doing something

from a remote thing because the computer something is the transmission line's off and they need to reboot some system and reset a system here and there. We are talking about physical infrastructure damaged and ripped. Once it falls off,

perhaps it's a simple disconnect, but most of the times it's a catastrophic failure is what they call that when your equipment's damaged and it can't even be like just rehooked back up or even, you know, rigged a little bit to hook back up. Catastrophic failure on the line, which means that they need to put and install entirely new parts to get it to

work again. There's going to be I don't even know how many thousands, hundreds of thousands of catastrophic failure points across all of these lines in these areas. Like the ice storm warnings here, you just don't see this stuff in Alabama, too. I mean, it's just

so rare to look at this map. Like, you are literally seeing, and this is only for today. This is going to gravitate east. You're looking at literally once in a lifetime. And I would say that, you know, in a let's say we live to in the average lifespan being 80 to 90 years now that you're not going to see this

again in your lifetime unless we're heading into some sort of grand solar minimum or some sort of uh magnetic field decline that allows these weather flows to come in, these jetream flows to continue to do this. There's a

lot of sudden stratospheric warming events. It seems like the Arctic air is continually being knocked off this year. Nothing's locking in place over the Arctic anymore. So, you could there's two ways to look at it. Yeah, it's CO2. It's warming the planet. It's causing

air, warm air intrusions in there. It's knocking the polar air off. Or our Earth has established a new magnetic field point and that is the new North Pole and it's trying to reestablish itself over and around that. And what we're seeing is a new north pole being

established magnetically. And that's the reason for the continuous knocking of what would be stable patterns off kilter onto the side. You be the judge. And which one would be easier to sell to the public without scaring them would be the

question I guess. Again, it's all about fear. Fear factor and continuity of government. You got there's only two things happening at the same time. >> You know, it's it I live through one time here in Alamagordo

where I live in New Mexico where it generally the most it gets cold in the winters maybe in the single digits and that's you know with some pretty heavy winter we'll get in the single digits not up in the mountain but down in the valley. Uh but one year it froze

probably like 10 below for like one day. The entire town had to go buy new plumbing. I mean everything was shut off for three or four days because everybody's plumbing was busted. It the wells broke, the uh you know like all of

the piping uh none of it was built for that kind of cold. And then, you know, when you compare that with another time I was in Arkansas when a ice storm rolled through there, froze the trees, fro the power lines, the power going out. You couldn't use the roads, they

were completely covered in ice. Uh, and then it would slightly unfreeze during the day and then the next night would be worse because it would rain again and then freeze again. So, you'd have another layer on top of that. Within the first 24 hours, there were gangs of

people with ATVs robbing convenience stores and other retailers. Um, my point with that being, you know, if you have an ATV anywhere in the south there, you're kind of ahead of everybody because you can still travel, especially when it's that

really hard frozen ice. Uh, that's no problem. Even snow, whatever. So, you might want to get all of your stuff together, you know. And I a minute ago you were talking about those frozen doors and >> deflate your tires as well, too.

>> This is what you need for that. I'm not uh being locked out of my car. >> Preparation. >> Prepping comes in all forms, man. Comes in all forms. >> Just little simple stuff like that. And

you know, >> hey, wait a second. I got there was a comment here talking about Walmart and I where did the comment go to? I can't find it. Somebody said I'm just going to go down to Walmart and buy a charcoal grill. You know, I kind of cook out in the afternoon there and I'm going to get a bunch of briquettes and then I can uh

put wood in it and I can keep I'm like, okay. So, first of all, I wish I the comment disappeared. I can't find it. Uh but thank you for the comment on that. First of all, there's probably one maybe two maximum at any Walmart. We're not we're if we were in the middle of summer, maybe there'd be six or eight.

We're in the middle of winter. They got rid of all that stuff. You might have one to two grills. Uh and there are probably already gone. Secondly, bringing on that subject, cover your wood. Cover your wood. If you if you have any hardwood you might even think about burning, you're going to

need to cover it because a wet wood doesn't burn at hot burn as hot. It takes a lot of energy to get to evaporate that water. Uh it's going to smoke a ton. You don't want that around in your house or anywhere. You're just going to be breathing smoke the whole time. I I've seen an enormous amount of

like comparisons uh and videos of people talking about early homesteaders all the way until modern uh you know camp stove burners. People like winter well stove is a good one having a yurt or whatnot. And the comparisons of even slightly wet snow on logs compared to dry wood that's

not cover it with a tarp before the storm gets in. You'd be surprised the the diminishment of smoke. Tremendous reduction in smoke if you have dry wood. And also the heat, the BTUs coming off that. Uh it's just tremendously

different. It's like 25% less even if you have a very small amount of moisture on it. Another thing, you know, maybe you're going to if you have you need a machete or something or, you know, to be able to get the bark off of your off your uh wood if it's not split already. And for me, I'm not one to go out in like freezing cold temperatures and go

split wood. Like you already got to have that stuff ready. Split wood dry close to your home ready to get at. So you're talking about preps. You still got them maybe 24 hours or something. You got to have dry wood. People, I'll just go burn stuff. Yeah. Well, if it's covered in

snow and it's wet and you got a bunch of like soggy branches and things like no, that's not you're just gonna have more trouble than it's gonna like we got roaring bonfires. Okay. So, when we clean out at the farm here, we'll get like, you know, four or five pickup trucks full of just like branch debris

and stuff. When we do a full cleaning day, I'll hire somebody and a friend or two will stop over and we'll do like a full We got out chainsaw and we'll just like load the truck, but we'll go out in the front and we'll burn in the front field here. We got a big old, you know, bonfire pit out there. Uh, but it gets

so incredibly hot, you can throw anything on it, it'll burn, right? Cuz it's a massive fire that we get going to burn all our debris. It's all wood. We don't burn any plastic or anything. But when you're in a little confined space like a cook stove or something like that and you put a wet log in there, oh my gosh, you get Don't do that, please.

Twigs and branches hiding on hitting on the roof. Uh well, hopefully see, thank you, SAS, for putting that out there. Let me let me bring up this comment right here, too, is a safety issue. Even twigs and branches hitting the roof in an ice storm sound like the world's falling.

You shouldn't have twigs and branches anywhere near your house off that could fall onto your roof anyway. That you need to do better tree management. I'm sorry. You shouldn't have stuff that's falling off onto your roof anyway. That means the trees are way way way too close to your house. Like we cleaned all around

here out of fire risk anyway, right? >> The edge of forest up here. >> Fire break 100 ft or more of fire break from my house up to our gravel road that goes to the back field there. I don't want any trees around this place. I don't want them falling. I don't want them catching on fire. I don't want them twigging onto

me. The only thing I get twigs on my roof is if Sasquatch throws some twigs out from the forest and it hits the roof at sunset. That's as many twigs as all I want on my roof, man. >> Right. >> Thanks, Sas. Hey, Saspr, thank you also for uh buying us some double espressos

over there at buy me a coffee.comivilization. If you like this or civilization cycle, excuse me. If you like this type of content, buy me a coffee.comivilization cycle. And uh anytime I see these comments come up, I'm just like, oh, you

know, if your trees are that close, that's just dangerous. Anyway, yeah, because a windy a windstorm could knock, you know, some big branches off and damage some things, too. You definitely dab torch. >> Um, you know, I was going to say that, too. If if you got junk falling on your

house, then you have a fire risk as well. That's exactly what I was going to say. Nothing should be falling on your house. Besides that, if it is falling on your house, it starts building up and that's what causes leaks in your house. >> Uh because it'll, you know, it starts

rotting and it starts uh rusting or what, depending on if you have metal or uh tiles up there or shingle, it's going to mess all of that up >> and it'll clog your gutters up too. And that's something you don't want either, you know, >> right? >> Water dripping over and when the gut when the gutters start to get heavy,

that's when you get those things leaning down. So, obviously, if you see any of your gutters aren't really holding up and they're kind of tweaked off the house a little bit, you might have a blockage up there, but again, that would be related directly to all the debris falling off like you go up every year. I mean, get the leaves out of it, too. We

bought those things you put over so the leaves don't go in there. But still, you know, >> every >> having things up and above your house following your house is not such a good idea. At least in my opinion. Now, maybe some people want the tree cover for shade. Maybe if you live somewhere and it's really really hot and maybe you want big trees around your place to like

cover and shade your home. Otherwise, I personally, it's fire risk for me. Fire risk. I'm not worried about ice. Fire risk. you know, you get how winds coming through the valleys here in the Appalachia and then, you know, we get forest fires here,

company, the the the uh fire departments here are very vigilant about putting it out because every time they lose a house to a fire, it's oo, they just lost their reputation. Like, how'd you let a how'd you let a house burn, man? You know, so they very their reputations are on the

line if they lose any structures around the forest fires, you know, otherwise. But if it's blowing 60 miles an hour and you can't put it out, my trees are bare now. Very few leaves. Understood. But if there's any fragile branches, uh you're you're actually looking at all the smaller edges of that

just come ripping down. I had a picture there in my uh in the video at the very beginning of ice covered very little tendrils coming off of the uh branches. It doesn't matter. It all covers and it gets all so much extra weight that it just and it'll snap

off. Yeah, you know, I got some amazing pictures in Maryland, too, after snow what they were calling snowageddon there. I think it was about 2016, um, of just everything covered in about a half inch or more of ice, like every

limb. Um, even the little ones had little ice, you know. So, it is pretty dangerous. And besides that, um I I don't want to say I told you so or we did mention it, but like last time with the hurricane, we kind of insinuate it

might be a big deal. It turned out to be a big deal. Hopefully somebody out there was watching and you know prepared for themselves. Uh this is the same kind of event. It may turn into a nothing burger. Um but then again, it could be devastation.

>> Two things. Insurance is a scam. I had a damage claim and they made my insurance go up. Okay, that's great right here to see that. Oh, Assass, that's your comment again. I was just reading the words. I didn't look at the commenter. So, take the clue here. If there's minor

damage, please do some of your own repair. Don't claim on your insurance because once you do it twice, they drop you. And if your home is uh still under mortgage, you could lose your house. This is a very common thing now. Uh, another way that homes are being confiscated is uh just dropping of

insurance. And unless you're able to get another insurance provider to cover you, they will absolutely uh take your home. And let me throw this one. Snowageddon. Uh, wait a second. Where'd that go? Yeah. What's with the title draw here?

What's with the title draw attention? Uh, no. This is the biggest ice storm in probably 60 or 70 years. You're going to be without power for probably, you know, 3 to seven days. Just trying to give you the warning. And I had the earlier models up showing you the timing of the

progression of the storm from now through Monday so you could get prepared. You're going to need to work with your neighbors. That's all I'm going to say. No, it's not about trying to draw headlines. It's about the events ongoing. It started right now. So, I mean, it is what it is. We're going to take a short break here. Everybody can

uh use the facilities for the next hour. Please sign up for our newsletter. I didn't have a chance to get it out today. Again, I've just been busy trying to prep for the storm and uh try to get ready for the show to bring you these uh updated slides. civilization cycle.com

right at the top. Put your uh email in there. We'll get you 10 bullet points what we talked about. That way you can keep the conversation going with others. I know this event will be over by the next time I release these uh show notes out here, but you know, different ideas of what's important that's not in your face

in the news. Like the news is coming at you in many different directions, okay? But there's some certain things that are being forced down your throat that you can see it like Ransom was very diligent at looking for certain words that are verbiage that's in the headlines, right?

But the news that we consume every day, there's a certain genre of it that's being forced and like, you know, throttled down on you. What's outside that though that's making that in turn churn? That's what we try to focus on. What's outside that and how do we all work together here with solutions to get

through these different changes. So QR code right there, you can scan that or civilization cycle.com. We'll be right back in two minutes to continue the conversation. We'll see you after the break.

And as I was on the break, I was thinking about snow for a moment. And I have the recorder snow lab for you here. I was talking about this a little bit earlier in a previous video and people were asking, "Okay, what about what about snow lab? I mean, what is it here?

So, if you go to uh climate.ruters.edu, this will show you the different amounts of snow and snow totals. So, currently on the uh snow total on the left there, that is how much snow is covering in the northern hemisphere, December of 2025 in

the blue, and that'll show you the departure. But where it gets kind of interesting here is if we come on to the monthly anomalies you can go by the different regions Eurasia, North America and the northern

hemisphere. So if we come into North America itself and you look and say well generally they're showing you that the snow itself in terms of the amount of total snow cover is down. And I was thinking okay that's pretty interesting.

Why don't we come to the uh seasonal extent right here? So, what we're looking at with seasonal extent and it's just it's pretty intuitive when you're clicking through some of these. So, generally on a trend, that black line is

the trend line. We're getting more snow in the northern hemisphere during the fall than we are during the spring. Now, if you notice the black line, you'll see that we're on an uptrend here for the northern hemisphere in the fall. So, moving forward, you can just generally

expect we're going to get snowier and colder uh beginnings of winter in fall. But if we look at spring, it's the complete inverse. So, as we come into spring, there shall be less

and less snow. So if you're looking for light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully this is the last Arctic outbreak that we will get for the rest of the year. And as we come forward into, you know, into February, uh it starts to get a little warmer down here in the southeast US. You're going to get

some days that'll peak up into the 70s, you know, during February. Uh but when we get into March, you can just expect less cold and less snow generally as well across the entire uh northern hemisphere. It just seems there's less snow in the spring. So, I would just be

an inquisitive kind of person and say, what's causing less snow in the spring, yet we have more snow in the fall? I mean, you can't have both of of one cause causing one to do the other. Okay?

So, if we're talking about in terms of CO2 warming, uh, we should get less snow, but we're getting more snow in the fall. Now, you could just ping that one chart and be like, "Look, CO2, we're getting less snow. It proves it." But then I'd flick you over here and go, "Wait a minute. Uh, we're getting more." And then you

some oblong excuse like, "Look, the warming causes more snow because there's more snow." And I'm like, "Wait, well, there's less snow in the spring." Well, the spring proves that it's not. These are the kind of debates you can get into people uh with. So if we're looking at just generally in the winter,

what I see is since 1967, so how many that's almost 60 years, uh, it's generally stayed the same. That black line there, it's generally increasing slightly. No gigantic above or below the norms except where

pointed out on the chart for me 1975 and 1981. That was so many years ago that the culmination we were down still in the 300 parts per million range. We weren't anywhere close to 400 parts per million in 1981. So you look at these outliers back then and go whoa what really caused this

disruption in snow. But if we spin around the globe for a second and then we start to look at Eurasia which is uh from the Boserus going back toward China over there through Kazakhstan and

Russia and this sort of thing. the Eurasian snowfall extent increasing there as well in the fall. So, we're seeing two locations on the planet where snowfall is increasing during the fall. This just generally a trend that's going to continue. It's been like that for almost 60 years. I just don't see it

uh spinning off course here. But again, what do you see there too that matches up? spring Eurasian snowfall cover is also decreasing just like our uh overall snow cover. So, northern

hemisphere, North America, Eurasia, they're all going down in the spring in terms of snowfall, but they're all increasing in terms of snowfall cover during the fall, the autumn. So, these are kind of things that are outliers and just interesting to look at

some of the uh some of the data here. So, this is winter in North America and you can see except for like 2024 it's been generally an uptick in snow. There's been some outlier years as you can see there. What's that about 1979 and then you know

2011 super crazy snow all verified data. But if we look at North American spring again down so we got North America, Eurasia, Northern Hemisphere all down in the spring yet all up in the fall. So you know what

what accounts for this is the question. You know, as we come into the second hour here, a lot of people say these storms are being driven and the center mass of the Arctic vortex is being knocked off. And that whole thing is because of CO2 driven climate change.

But we're having two different completely dire, you know, 180 degree opposites happening here. More fall, more snow in the fall, less snow in the spring. So, you know, you can't have both narratives covering both of these, right? is or they try to like spin it in different ways. So, I'd like to start

that off here. Ransom, what do you think is the uh the cause of such things? Do you think? I don't, you know, I I think we're just going into a total different long-term

cooling cycle. I don't think it's about CO2 at all. And if you really think about what you were talking about there, we're talking about more snow in the fall, which is not going to freeze. I mean, it's not going to melt until spring where you're not getting that

much. But overall, it looks like you would be getting more water for the growing season uh packed in the in the ground, which obviously would be a whole another cycle of uh growing and different stuff cuz you've seen how areas can dry out and then rain for a

few years and be like a totally different uh uh zone. uh you know like it could almost be tropic if you're down um in the south there if you just keep getting rain and rain and rain versus years that they will be really dry and have a lot of bugs and fires and and

stuff like that. It's like uh I think we're going into a very long-term cooling. Actually, I know that because you know the glacial period has ended and I know we're not going to live for 80,000 years. However, us and our children are going to slowly start

seeing things change. And I think that's why they hammered this idea of the term climate change and disavowed theirel from global warming, seeing how the sea sea level has not risen and there's more snow coming. The

the uh ski resorts are loving it. They're saying that there's drought in areas that have, you know, a lot of water. Um, so they're they're trying to keep this narrative of humans destroying everything when it's quite obvious that the cycle has nothing to do with us.

We're just here to live through it. Yeah. And this is the explanation I was trying to show. Like they're saying whatever warming is the causation. Uh, now that those warm somehow the earth breathes and goes and just pushes

everything north magically and then it knocks everything off base up there. So they're actually those two vortices are in the wrong place actually where they are. It's over Kamaka Peninsula. So the magnetic field is reestablishing

itself over Russia. And by the way, the Kamaka Peninsula where the new vorticy is forming just had it just broke 147year snowfall record there. Now there was a lot of AI videos about that. So, just be careful in discerning when you're uh looking at your information

because uh they were having all kind of thing with like 120 foot snow drifts and that just didn't make sense at all. So, yeah. And it makes me wonder if the US knows that, you know, areas like Greenland

um and maybe the coast of Canada there, Newfoundland and Vinland, you know, are going to get warmer because we know they were in the past because they were making wine. So, it was already warmer in the past than it is now in those areas. Um, but obviously at those same

times it was colder in other areas. Yeah. And I had a conversation with Grock last night uh showing it just trying to put charts in and be like uh you know some of these things aren't

really adding up in terms of like the charts that are showing long-term variability like you're talking about. They just they didn't add up to be uh you know it's it's showing and then grab came back go well that's a regional that's a regional thing that's

a regional thing. like well how many you know regional things can there be before um it actually starts to be I don't know a global phenomenon and that was the whole thing I was arguing with Grock about last night I'm

trying to pull up some of our charts here to see and show you what the conversation was and I had all these images that I went up to this website called what's up with that and also not a lot of people know that and they had a lot of long-term variability on that. And uh

let me see if I can find that chat for you here because that's the whole thing about it is if we have data from thousands of years and it keeps showing that things are moving up and down naturally and different parts of the world are

showing, you know, different types of temperature anomalies here. So, let me uh run you through Grock. I'm going to try to see if this will interest you for a second. Let me uh get back on here and share it. I know for those of you coming in the late night, you're going to dig

this one. So, please just stay right here with me. I'm hoping this opens wide. Come on now. Open up. Okay. So, I was This is one of the most famous ones here, the GISP2 ice core data set. This this was this was the gold standard for

global temperature reconstruction until what did it show? That the Manoan warming period, the Roman warming period, medieval warming period, 8.2K warming uh were all dare I say temperatures higher than today,

>> right? >> Yeah. Okay. So, and then I I was asking Grock, I'm like, "Whoa, well, this used to be the one they and you know, they did cite this in the IPCC quite a bit." And then after it disproves something, they're like, "Oh, no." And here what Grock say to me. "Oh, it's local, not global." Okay. That ends in the 19th

century before modern warm in 1950. Okay. And then I was like, "All right, man. Now you're starting to irk me here." And I had all these charts anyway. So, I just started throwing these charts at Grock saying, "Dude, explain this one. Central English temperature 1650

to 2010. So this whole 1950 thing doesn't add up anymore. So there's a very gradual rise and it depends if they were using rural temperature stations or heat island uh temperature stations smack dab in the middle of London or whatever. So you know it doesn't show

where these temperature stations were, but this is just generally on an average over England. And again, I was like, "Hey, this doesn't you tell me it's not something's causing it to go up way back hundreds and hundreds of years ago." And uh you know, every time I would put

one of these things, it's anomalies, not averages. And then there was like rock would come into this thing and do it as well. So then I'm like, "All right, here. Come on, man. I got you one that's goes back to the year 1400, like six. This is sea surface temperatures near Fiji."

And what do you see? They were warmer and then they dipped and then they got warm again. Has nothing to do with us. I mean, you can't tell me that 600 years ago we were affecting ocean temperatures. And if you look back then, it's actually warmer

than it is today on both those charts, right? This is sea surface temperatures. >> And uh all peer-reviewed research and this GRA was good at knowing even where all these reports came from. But when you start to look at leveling temperatures declining a little bit and then that subsequent drop during the

little ice age then pop back out again. But you know I my little mouse will show you that way back then things were different than today. And uh what does it say? I was talking about uh panel E the key findings

1370 to 1554 anomalously high linked to strong southwest Pacific zonal meridianal gradient meaning the wind patterns how it was pushing water in a certain to create upwelling or

downwelling right that's that's all the whole thing about leninia and El Nino same thing Pacific zonal and uh then the little ice age influences what caused That by the way, not sure. And then we got warming subsequent again.

So recent decades exceed. Wait, what do you mean exceed? We just looked at the chart now. What? What do you mean recent decades exceed that? Are you kidding me? It's clear as day on the chart. They did not exceed where we sit today. Right. The only place they sit exceeding is where that black line was just drawn by

someone with a crayon at the end there. Otherwise the year 2000 where it ends uh the the chart ends there. So you know to add extra information after the studies have already been done a little bit disingenuous as well you know. So then I

come down here and uh this is from quonerary science and this goes back some you know 4,500 almost 5,000 years but you can see right around that 3,000 years before present era we start to um

see surface temperatures again warmer 4500 year sea surface temperatures. So, you know, there's a lot of things that are sort of natural variability and Grock was trying to keep up to convince me that uh everything was well the lower

sea surface temperatures because it was some variability, but everything from now absolutely has to be everything is just us. And I'm like, wait a minute, it was all natural before now and then suddenly things just deny it because I'm like, why does my channel keep getting flagged? Why does it keep getting

flagged, man? So, you know, these central English temperatures and uh again, I would say, all right, well, I found another chart. Can you help me differentiate this one? New York City, speaking of the 16 inches of snow, 1880 all the way until now, I see more

of a general trend of nothing. No trend. It's flat. So, the highest max temperature and again, you know what? What rock trying to feed me? Oh, this only shows you the highest maximum. So, it doesn't apply. This this does not overall temperature. This is just the

highest maximum. So this chart is totally unusable because uh it just reflects the highest maximum temperatures. Had nothing to do with the total overall temperatures and the natural avail variability argument. Single station extreme metric. Okay. Again, they're coming back. CO2

hasn't pushed the absolute hottest days, but sort of is maybe. And then uh I was looking at this is a goody here. This is the tree line height in meters uh altitude. So if it gets really cold, the tree line's going to go down in altitude

because trees can't grow and snow too well. I mean there are certain varieties can change then height of the upper tree line. This is in California and in the Alps. So we got two locations showing the same exact thing on the same exact timeline. Something's cooling. Trees are

going lower. And what what did Grock say to me? Oh, those are just regional. Those are just regional. Uh the White Mountains are regional. Uh everything we ever discovered was regional. >> These are all just regional proxies. So it doesn't show that there's any

correlation halfway across the planet showing the exact same thing happening. Nope. It's just a regional proxy. And oh, let me I might have another one here for you. Let's see. The mean annual air temperatures. This is in southern Sweden. And this goes back 10,000 years

on the left side before present. So like 12,000 years prior coming out of the younger dus we rise out of temperature. We get to that that maximum spike probably around 88 8,000 before present somewhere around you know 9,000 years

ago. And then again this is determined to be just a regional thing a regional just blip in the radar regional regional. Uh you see here you go I'll read it for you. It just captures the regional boreal variability

or tree regionally trees on how they grow in the holosene mid holysine era. And I kept getting this over and over again. I'm like, wait, explain these graphs to me, dude. And then it started talking about, well, southern hemisphere. Okay, I got a southern hemisphere graph for you. Got New Zealand estimated mean yearly

temperature since the last ice age. This goes back like 30,000 years on there or 25,000 plus, right? And what does it show you? It shows you before present at 10,000 8,000 warmer drops off significant cooling around 4,000 years prior and

then boom we're back up again. What do I see there on that present average annual dot dot dot dotted line and it kept coming back to the same thing. Well, it was just a one little thing here in the the breakdown of the graph. What do we get? What does it tell me again? Regional, southern hemisphere,

mid latitude. Just regional mans to do >> it looks like regional was happening worldwide just regionally warm everywhere >> right well that's the whole thing is they keep trying to deflect by it's just regional but when you start to put all these pieces together and here's a

Berlin station going back to the 1700s what do we see again it's kind of flatlined >> right >> and it just happens again and again I get the regional thing but it's happening all the time every region so you know I'm just trying to extrapolate

data further back and then uh all the English data stations too. Winter, spring, summer, central English temperatures back to 1650. What do you see there? I just see kind of a flat trend. I don't really see much of an up of anything. If anything, you can see

some outliers way back around like 1740. >> Right. >> Right. And I think I only have one more. then I'll quit boring everybody with my geeky chart thing here. So then I started to argue with Grock

like, "Dude, you can't tell me that it's all regional. Come on, man. You're lying. Come on, dude." And I started talking about the next ice age or uh grand solar minimum. And it starts talking about TSI and I'm talking about temperature, right? So this is the whole thing. is like why are you showing me TSI when most of the models were showing

anyway like three watts per meter squared decline with Shapiro uh variability on that on the uh on the amount of watts per meter squared. This matches up with John Casey's research why I always use three watts per meter squared drop because in previous Grand

Solar Minima it was always about three watts per meter squared drop but then it's trying to feed me out a 0.2.4 four 0.3 I'm like and then I ask it I said whoa the wait not even close you know it's three it's three and then it starts

to kick back to me and you know I was asking about interglacials and things but I just don't get it with uh you know Gro supposed to be so free and everything like >> why is it >> doing that I got a whole different AI

going on in my head than than what's going on there. Let's go woo woo with my own mental AI here. >> Let's do it. Are you an AI? See, Ransom is an AI. >> So, check this out. More evidence that they are basically turning the

equatorial lands into the food growing zones as European Union and uh a big block of South American nation signed a landmark free trade agreement. That's to go the bricks route and go around the US. Um, but really think about what's

going on. Um, they're reducing the population by choice and and by mandate at the same time. And what I mean by choice is they're just creating this whole new world. So, if you're going to remain in the northern latitudes, you're going to have to get aerobic. Um, and

this will make your brain younger. And but that's not why I'm bringing it up for health reasons. It's because all over the northern hemisphere, they're rewing areas so that you can't be there. Um, here's one. This big fight in Colorado about putting the wolves

back in there. They already put some wolves back there. Trump is trying to stop what's going on right now. But overall around the world in the northern latitudes, these rewing programs are going to head forward all the way to the point where they're suggesting they're

going to bring back plea toene animals. Now, I don't know why you would do that, uh, but if you look at this beast right here, um, >> that's going to help you get your aerobics up, uh, when you're running from that thing. So, you know, you will have a younger brain while you're

running from these big wolves and possibly even direwolves and, you know, mammoth, woolly mammoth and things like that. Uh, but it's going to keep going. These prophets of economic dune are worried about another collapse and they get into all kinds of reasons about, you

know, the dollar bubble, the AI bubble, the housing bubble, the on and on and on. Lots of bubbles that haven't burst yet. And then here's the big whammy for the boooo, right? Insider warns Bank of England to prepare

for imminent alien disclosure by, you know, closing their bank up. I don't know. You know, there's just one of those wild things out there. >> That is the Illuminati. Uh well, isn't that the last card in the Illuminati card deck? The Fake Alien

Invasion. I think that's the very last card to be played in the entire deck of the game. >> I really think it is the very last card in the entire deck that can be played. >> Yeah. So, uh what is it? Confirm super technology advanced aliens have been visiting the planet for Earth. This is

what they're supposedly going to, you know, tell us. And then supposedly bam, the markets are going to nose dive into oblivion. Bank fails, bitcoins becomes the new gold rush. So, you know, that's just a rumor, but don't worry about it because by that time, um, they'll

already have you ready to let the authorities write in your house without warrants. We'll just set up scenarios where it becomes precedent. put the, you know, constitution aside for the new world order of things. Doesn't matter

which side of the, uh, order you're on. Uh, privacy and, uh, freedom of speech, things that seems like are being attacked everywhere. So, you won't be able to tell people that you're running from the wolves and it's not safe in your neighborhood anymore. And then,

yeah, speaking of silver. >> Yeah, look at that. That's a startling fact here. 25 ounces of silver to get a side of beef or get a beef and now it's only six ounces. You must Yeah. Half cow, half beef, right? >> Yeah.

>> Well, that's live weight cost, too. You're going to have to go pay. You're going to have to pay to get it processed at the butcher, too. Unless you do it yourself. I don't know, man. I tried to do a cow that first year that we uh you know, and it was just n I did lamb I can do. Rabbit I can do. I saw somebody talking about let rabbit any kind of

small animals, lambs up to about lamb size, good. Anything bigger than that, you definitely want to get a processor to do it for sure. Just learn from my mistake. You do not want to be cutting that thing yourself. I didn't have the bandsaw. We lost a lot of, you know, good t-bones and stuff and turned into

Yikes. >> Mint meat. Yummy. No. >> No. I mean, yeah, it was good. It was The Menanite Amish guys had raised it up. It was, you know, clean hamburger, clean beef. Everything was clean. But I don't know if you want to eat that much ground beef. You know,

>> that's all we pretty much eat. That's a staple of the diet. Organic ground beef made in 101 ways. >> No, just kidding. Um, you know, we we >> can you go back Can you go back to that alien invasion thing? Like the collapse of the markets in terms of that what

would hold value? Let's walk through the scenario for a second. >> Aliens come or it's our own electrovidics craft just pop out and they pretend it's a alien invasion. Like what would hold value in the markets during this time if such a thing

were to occur? >> The metals. The metals because even the aliens would accept it as revenue or barter or anything. Anybody in the universe is going to find silver, gold, and the other heavy elements that come

out of the middle of stars valuable because of how little amount it seems to be out there. I'll say something about nickels, too. Uh, US government is going to start, or I shouldn't say start, but they're going to stop uh producing nickels.

Now, I didn't know this either. There's a little fact for you. In a nickel, there's I think it's 80% copper and 20% nickel in the modern nickel. But if you go back previously, there's actually 100% nickel in the nickels, right? It's like the pennies. If it was, was it 1983

and prior, it was 100% copper. After that is a zinc copper mix. So currently the n price of copper in the nickel is about 15 cents. >> Nah, >> just throwing it out there for people

because uh you know your pennies are worth what 4 cents now or about how much is a pure copper penny worth these days? 4 cents. So some people are talking about just getting trash cans full of just that kind of change because in the future it

will be traded for its weight far more than the metal value. So you're actually being able to buy a commodity at three times cheaper price than you would be if and then eventually if you're able to say sell 500 or,000 pounds of coin that have gone out of mintage. You're not

breaking any laws at that point. You're just selling the copper weight which could be 5 10 times price higher than it is today. >> Right. You got to beware now with this this kind of stuff going on.

Look at that big 100 troy ounces of silver. But it's not really >> I know. But that's crazy because that's an authentic Englehard stamp Englehard stamp bar from back in the day, right? And they were so clever to be able to >> put that in there in the center. They

something must have been off on the side of it where they refilled it and they couldn't get the the camouflage, right? Putting the silver back to make it blend. Maybe they that's how they noticed something was off on it, >> right? >> Because that is a a real bar. >> A few of them. That's a real bar, but they just did something to the side of

it. >> It's probably going to weigh a little bit different, too, >> for for the exact size because they put that other metal in there. Um, but you know, it's going to be hard to run. It's going to be hard to be aerobic with pockets full of silver in the northern

hemisphere when you're running from the wolves and things literally quite literally in the snow and the frozen snow running. But they know that it's no big deal because you know you're going to get loaded in a simulation now so you don't have to run from wolves.

>> Well, I'd prefer to run from the wolves. >> Oh, that's not even the right one. That's that's the Civil War brainwashing. So, you know what the $9929. What? >> Yeah.

And you know, if we did have a giant disaster that put swasts of the nation off the grid for quite a while, that might be a trigger for civil war, especially if you have

already organized troops deployed throughout the nation kind of ready for something else, you know, because you can always take uh groups of agents and reassign them to other tasks

so they don't always have to uh do what they were intended for. Um but think about this idea that they're pushing because of you know >> Oh wait, my bad. Go back to your screen. I didn't mean to jump on you like that.

>> No, that's all right. I was I was just thinking that, you know, because they're stretching the rules to be able to enter homes without warrants, asking for people with their papers without, you know, a clear, articulable

suspicion of a law being broke. So, they're going to start bending the Constitution. And you may be for immigration, and that's great. But when they start setting precedent of doing actions that are outside of the constitution, well, they just keep doing

that. So later, you know, maybe if they're coming to your house looking for your gold or your silver, they might not need a warrant to come in your home if they're coming in there looking for something else. U just to put that out there. Then when you know, let me see. I

messed this up here. Um but yeah, so they're gonna you need to get aerobic though so you can run from all these animals that are going to be living in these off-rid areas which are going to increase. So what you think is off-grid

now possibly is going to stretch in size. In other words, rural areas, mountainous areas, maybe they won't, you know, keep up the electricity there and it'll be hard to live there. Very expensive to get your goods there. And it doesn't matter

anyway because everybody's, you know, dropping out early and they're finally kind of admitting that maybe we have a problem, a systemic problem of health in the country. But that's okay cuz they're selling all your data so they'll know who not to give coverage to. Um, and

matter of fact, they're making it uh policy at almost all stores to take your ID for almost everything now. you want a pair of glasses, you want cigarettes, you want uh alcohol, whatever it is that requires an ID, they're going to stretch

that until, you know, it doesn't matter about the age. They just want that scan. It's like crack to them. They got to scan it. Put all your information in the system. Um because basically they're they're shutting down things uh as far as the middle class goes. And uh I lost

it here. Wait a second. Why do you need to provide your ID to get a pair of glasses? for your health insurance, of course. >> Well, what if you're doing pocket? Could I just walk in and say, "Hey, I need >> Well, I'm sure you could talk an optometrist in there, but if they're any

kind of, you know, bigger business that that is following rules of anything, they're going to they're going to want your ID cuz that's their policy. So, you can say no and not get a pair of glasses. You still got that freedom to say no. But what happens when all of the

businesses only will take a digital ID of your biometrics to prove you're who you are to keep track of every single purchase you make everywhere

because that's what we're doing. >> I will say no and bye-bye. >> I know. But that >> Well, I was more on the thing. point is is it limits the amounts of people to go places to do business and commerce. You can't go here because of this. You can't

go there because of that. And true, you are opting out. This is your own free will and choice to get out. Um, but what are you going to do when you're required to have some kind of peripheral that's embedded with you at all times to prove

who you are, where you've been, where you're going, which class of citizen you are, what your health records are. It's like Gatka, you know, we don't let people in here that uh didn't get their medication. And we saw a beta test of that just a few years ago.

Unfortunately, we did. You know, the beta test, too, is like silver's out of the price for most people right now. You know, to get 10 ounces, you're spending more than you're spending like $1,200, you know, cuz even, you know, looking at

some here, because the price of silver, if you look at the very top there, silver ask price is $99.29. Then there's going to be like a $6, $7, even more, $12, whatever, you know, premium on spot on that. Gold ask right now is nearly 5,000. So probably at the

end of the week here, we're going to go 5,000 gold, 100 silver, and then that's a 50 to1. When it comes down to 30 to one, 20 to1, 10 to one, then what? Because if it was a 10 to one, silver should be 500 and gold 5,000.

So somewhere in the middle, like go back through history. What was used as another metal past silver for the average common person? Copper, >> right? >> So I'm looking at this going, >> I bought a bunch of these way back like when CO first started and they were like a $120 and there was no overage on spot.

There wasn't any like premium on copper or anything. $4.99, but then you got need to really spend $6.24 to get one. So it's a$150 or$125 over spot. And if you look at that, it's like, damn, that's like an incredible percentage over spot. It's not like 10% which should be 49

cents. It's like 30%. It's a $150, right? So, I'm looking at this going, "All right, this could be the next metal to be used in terms of tradables." Now, I don't know if you agree or disagree with me on that. I uh you know, do you think that it will be used? And then on the back inverse of

it, it looks like that with the eagle and one ADV AVDP ounce or and it's copper. Now, you can get bars of copper as well. So, uh copper, where are we at here?

They got these poured bars as well. They're $26 as low as $19.99. Yeah, if you buy 50 of them and you use a check. If you don't do that, these are kind of cool. port poured bars. I mean, do you think this could be a secondary secondary form of currency? So, we have

the uh what you consider regular gold, silver. You got the industrial copper where they're buying it by the ton or you're getting, you know, a 100 ounce bar, a thousand ounce bar of

copper that they're using off of actually in industry like TSMC or somebody be buying that to be able to use it to manufacture an electronic product. But do you think people themselves would be using uh some copper here?

Do you think they would use rounds like this to be able to trade amongst themselves as a secondary source of a less uh valuable secondary metal to silver? Gold. Gold's

to store your wealth. You're not going to be trading that at a market somewhere. Silver's getting a little bit expensive at 100 bucks. history. You're you're deep into history. Do would we use copper again to trade, do you think? >> Yeah, I don't see why not, but it would

be more limited to those uh people that have a reason to have copper instead of just anybody for silver and gold >> cuz we use pennies, right? And we use nickels. Yeah,

>> those are really the metals that we used to use all the way down to the smallest with copper was the smallest denomination before in a coinage the quarters dimes had silver in them 64 and below 60 you know right pre64 >> and if you've been collecting those you

tripled your money in the last month or couple months >> yeah but that was the lowest denomination so we went to silver down to the dime and then we actually had nickel in the nickel except for the war nickels obviously Obviously, when they put silver, because the nickel was more valuable than the silver was during World War II. Put that in your head for

a second. We needed the nickel so badly for manufacturing for the war effort in World War II, we substituted nickel and put silver in it from 1943 to 1945. So, if you find those nickels, they're actually silver nickels.

And so, in terms of metal value, you got the silver, you got the nickel, and then you got the copper. So, where does it take us from here? And, you know, would somebody buy your nickels back after they go out of mintage? Because we're done minting the

pennies. So, currently it's not a felony anymore to melt down your nickels or excuse me, your pennies, cut them in half or anything like that. It used to be because you were destroying minted currency from the treasury, >> right? >> But now, since they're discontinued the penny there, that those federal laws don't follow any longer.

They made 10 dimes in 1941. Yeah. You know, when I was a kid and collected some coins, I do remember those. Those Yeah. World War II mintage of was a little bit special. Yeah. Didn't they have like zinc pennies also? They had zinc pennies at this time.

>> Yes. Right around after 40 something. >> Mhm. So, uh, if you would allow me just one last screen here. Let's take a look at the, uh, at the silver. Curious what it what we're on for silver right now.

Come on. Where's the silver? Silver war nickels. No, we want uh Eagles. High demand is causing processing and shipping problems. You you might want to

contact customer support. >> Yeah. Let me let me tell you something about the red quarter here. You see the red one? The red quarter? >> Yeah. >> Why is it red? Do you know? >> No, I do not. I've seen those though. >> Yeah. Well, this is called the house

quarter. The house money. Like back in the day when we you actually had to put quarters into the record machine, the owner of the the the owner the generally like the soda bar or the bowling alley or whatever it was the, you know, the soda fountain counter,

whatever. They didn't own the machine. It was just like today. They had a vendor come in, they rented it. The guy made sure that there was records always that would come out, the 45 LPs, whatever. But the owners of the stores always wanted music continuously playing. So

they painted those red and any time that the person would come by to collect all the money out of the jukebox machine. They would leave the red ones behind and give them back to the store owner because that was the house quarters. And you'll see a lot of red ones. So that

became the industry standard for the jukebox industry to keep the music continuously playing. The red ones for from the owner to just have the music play. Anything else was from the customers and they were able to keep that. That's why they're red. And you see a lot of red quarters around from uh

that era of the 1950s and you know I wouldn't say 60s so much but you know e easily the 1950s. Just little factoid little fact for you there. And what do we got here? Uh,

come on now. American Eagles. We'll go with uncirculated, I guess. 2026. See, they say 112 for an eagle. I'll go with a random year. Cole means they're damaged a little bit. They got some scratches on them and

stuff. It's like this one here. That's That's a a coal, but still a good enough. It's still silver. Even at that crappy quality, it's still $114 for a single eagle. 108 now. >> I'm telling you, it'll be like 200 here

in a month or so. >> Yeah, it is going to be. And isn't that gonna be uh rare and strange? Now, even the the the Phillies or they call them Phillies is Phil Harmonics. One of my favorites. Love these coins, man. I really love them. I don't know, something about it. They're just so

imply. And uh the back u they're worth 150 euro as well. So, it's actual uh sovereign mintage, but they're at 110. And then if you want to get 115. So, think about that. You can't even touch an ounce of

silver on under $115. So, that's really priced most people out of the market. Yeah, you might be able to want to get one ounce round or something, but normally uh you're kind of done. You're priced out. I know not for everybody obviously, but

red quarters were Yeah. were for the bars that kept the coin local. Yeah. So the the bar owner, Barkeep, the soda shopkeeper, whatever. Yeah. The red ones stayed at the house because they always needed that music going and going and going for free. >> So they didn't mind if they were playing the record for free as long as the music

kept going to draw people in to put more money in to hear their favorite song. >> Yeah. Somebody said something. I don't know that it's going to be 200. I just keep reading that. I keep reading that over and over again for probably the last month and a half. um that it's

going to about double and usually when I read that many people saying it, it happens. I've seen different as high as 700 really pushing off if they were going to do the amount of money that's out there

currently with what the price would be. Uh yeah, and silver's trading over 110 in Shanghai, which Shanghai seems to be setting the price for the world. We keep trying to suppress it and uh it always seems to c catch up to the Shanghai price another about 72 hour lag, but we

always hit the Shanghai price. So, at that point, if we're at 100, we're going to be going up $10 in the next three to five days if we're following Shanghai. And so far, it's been a really close track. Like Shanghai is jumping ahead of us.

>> Yeah, we might be. >> So, what kind of world are we going to live in if we're $700 silver? Well, good if you have silver. >> Yeah. But for the rest of people, what do you Yeah. Last prep thing's 300 obviously.

>> So, what kind of world will that be where we've hyperinflated away where silver 700? Like, what's your daily cost of life going to be? What's your food going to cost you? >> Well, it's going to keep going up. I mean, that's obvious.

I haven't seen it go down. Even though they've talked about it going down, it did. But then, you know, other things went up. So, on average, it's still just going up for this foreseeable future. It doesn't even seem to matter who gets in office or what they do. Any kind of trade deal would take, you know, half a

decade to actually see what's going on. And then side by side with inflation, I I don't really think you're going to notice it go down till you start growing it. Yeah, that's a great idea to get some seeds from trueleafmarket.com. That link's in the description box below. You

know, spring planting's coming up. They have a massive variety of seeds. And interestingly, a lot of them are sold out already. Like people are really getting that message that you need to have seeds to grow your own food. Oh, those cherry tomatoes right there. So

easy to grow. Yeah, >> way more bountiful, way more gigantic yield than getting the large like, you know, beef steak kind of tomatoes. Way less insect damage on them. The only thing that will really throw you into a tizzy is if they get too much water too quickly, those skins will start to

split. >> Yeah, >> I know what happens with your other ones with your beef steaks and thing, but it happens faster and with the smaller cherry tomatoes because they uptake so fast. So you're going to see them split, you know, like days and days and days faster than your regular larger types of tomatoes, Cherokee apples or whatever.

>> 50 60 pounds of those this year >> easily, man. Aren't they the easiest thing to grow? And they just vine off everywhere. And everywhere you walk by, you're pulling a candy. I use my shirt and I got to lift up my shirt and like drop them in and use it as a like a kangaroo pouch to harvest all those off. Man, they're they

>> I had what what's really cool about them is I had a small enough patch that I could cover it with a tarp when the first freezes came in and then by the next day it was 70°. So I stretched that all the way into December my tomato plants

just like really micromanaging the temperature on them. >> Yeah. And they'll keep producing for you. I found Roma Roma tomatoes, those small, you know, smaller Romaas. Also just a step up from that, but not nearly as large as the commercial, you know,

red hamburger sandwich tomatoes. Just massive output. Hey, is that Diamond from the Oppen Ram? Is that Oenheimer Ranch Project? Diamond, what are you doing, my friend? Haven't seen you in years, man. >> Yeah, you you were showing some of his

comments a minute ago. I was going to say, you know, if you just don't want to grow the garden, you you can always go the buy it in a buy it in a bucket route, so you don't have to worry about it if you're stressing about growing stuff. I found though that growing, at least this year, I didn't

even really try that hard and I filled up a second refrigerator with squash, chilies, tomatoes, you know, all that good stuff. Very easy for me. >> Yeah, I was watching somebody's program today. uh forget her Appalachin Prepper

was her channel and she was saying the same thing. Silver's getting a little bit pricey for a lot of people and then she's always getting these comments talking about buy you can't eat silver, you can't eat gold. And she's like, "All right, well, why don't you go get some storeable foods like some storeable

tins, you know, tins of uh beef and stuff and actually use food as your currency?" >> You can eat silver. You just have to >> use silver. We need some uh here for example. Hold on. I got one right here.

This keystone here, this is uh good until the end of the year. December of 20 113 2026. So, we still got another this kind of stuff has gone up. It's it's almost doubled just in the last year since I got this beef one here. And it's pretty much just salt and beef.

There's really nothing in this one. Same with the chicken and the turkey ones. It's just very simple ingredients. M beefy >> beef salt. Beef and sea salt. That's all that's in here. Literally beef and sea salt. >> But she was saying like get this as your currency. If these are 10 bucks, they're

actually a little more now. >> And we try to label the tins, too. Like, all right, 2026. So, you already know it's coming up. And then you look on the back and you go 11 113 2026. So, it's still good for another whole. >> If the power was out for two weeks,

somebody would trade their grandma for that can of beef. They certainly would. And she was saying, "This is your new currency. If you're complaining about silver being too expensive, go buy a $10 can of meat, a protein meat that's 10 bucks that last three years or more. And

this is your currency that you can trade in the future because this food is going to continue to go up as well. >> That makes some good home protection, too." >> Why? You just line it up and AR round won't go through it. Is that what you mean? >> No, man. You just throw a can of reffried beans at somebody, it'll knock

them out cold. >> I know. Yeah. Oh, man. You could gouge somebody heavy with this one. Damn. >> No. Uh hopefully, you know, you don't have we don't have a bunch of blackouts, but I I I see that that's probably going to happen. And there's always pockets,

even even if it ain't a major catastrophe, there's always pockets of people that were illprepared and suffer. So hopefully anybody in the path of the ice has enough to, you know, last at least three or four days.

And honey always tradable, man. Anybody will trade, especially with the comb. Are you kidding me? Like this is honey from our local Amish farm. Like this is as good as gold, too. This is if you're thinking about tradeables, too. If you can come up and get jars and jars of honey like this. And uh this one's actually

starting to turn a little bit into that uh that crystallized honey which I really like too to spread on things. I mean that think about the like what would you trade for honey and beef and a protein source. I mean what this is definitely value in itself here of these

two things. So you know put it into context. What would you trade for that? I mean how much would it be worth? Far more than it was when we bought it. I guarantee you 5 million. know here's Diamond says 5 million without power by Saturday night.

Yep. Here comes the experiment to see how long American can last without devolving into anarchy after the power goes out. Again, I I would, you know, not being on the woo side too much on the woo even though it's a little bit late at night.

What if this is an experiment that was allowed? You know, there's no culpability. It was a natural event. It was just an ice storm. the biggest one in 70 years. Not our fault, but would you not glean an enormous amount of information off of the docon? Of course, would you not try to get a huge amount

of information of how people would react during this time? Is just we're coming into a food lean period anyway? Why, right, just let it run and see what kind of info you can get out of it. >> You know, larger again, my eyes are bad with uh >> I wouldn't even doubt that there's some

nerd in a think tank somewhere that, you know, just studies the little grid failures and goes, "Oh, well, that's what they would do during an EMP between this area right here and this area right here. Just look what happens." >> Okay, so Dokcon 3, isn't this, you told

me before this is the one where people order pizzas, right? >> That's right. There's an increased amount of pizzas being delivered to the Pentagon as we speak. Raising the level to Dokcon 3, increased in force readiness. Um, you know, in the

headlines though, um, besides this, there we're all ready to rush in a couple places evidently. Trump says massive US military fleet is moving towards Iran as he issues ominous

warning and says, "We're watching very closely." But at the same time, just like as we predicted a couple weeks ago, the US is actively seeking regime change in Cuba. >> And we saw that coming.

>> Uh we see it coming everywhere, right? >> I messed it up. >> So we saw this ice storm January 22nd, 23rd of year 2000. So what happened at that time? I don't know. And was it as widespread as it is this event that's

coming here that's going to be well I know they maybe exaggerate 2,000 mi long but National Guard activated in 13 states. You had eight states. I'd see in 13 states that they're already activating guard for this thing. Please remember if you got your four-wheeler out there deflate the tires a little

bit. You know it's almost the inverse like trying to drive on sand. You know you want to put some air out get some air out of the tires. Same thing. So uh I don't know. Best of luck to everybody in their preps. Diamond says 5 million out of power here uh by Sunday night.

Again, out of power, but the the key factor is how long. That's a 5 million person experiment to to g grab a huge amount of data about behavior patterns, uh whether it be working together, whether it be uh you

know univilized behavior, whatever way you want to look at that. Like you can get so many data points out of this. And then what happens if there was an actual EMP where power goes out for six months? I mean, you could already get some of these baby steps on it, right?

>> Get ready. >> Get ready indeed. Please prepare yourselves. Now, this really isn't any joke. I mean, this is going to be a major major disruptive event here. Uh travel, that's one thing you can take it. But how many cars are off the road?

How much are our insurance premiums going to go up? because there going to be so much damage. So much damage. If you see somebody stranded on the road and you have a chance to help or if you have, you know, please get with your neighbors after all the trees fall down or all iced everywhere because, you

know, if a local community can start moving around more, uh, more people are going to be further out at that point than just being a bunch of debris hanging. Oh, we can't even get in there. Forget it. We'll skip that town for now and we'll come out somewhere else. But if your roads are semi- clean where the

repair crews and those transmission line crews can get in there to repair and they're much more likely to come in and do work fast because they don't have to do anything to clear out. They're just like repair the lines. Cool. So, please remember, help your friends, family, your neighbors uh in these times

of need. You know, you might make a best new friend by helping somebody. Who knows? The world's uh full of possibilities. Anyway, do appreciate you listening to us tonight. Keep your eyes on the forecast. Remember, tropical tidbits.com, Pivotal Weather, Ryan, Mway, uh, Big Joe Bastardi, Ryan Hall,

you all. And there's a whole bunch of others that you can take a look at out as well. So, until next week. Any sign us off. Sign us out of here, Ransom. >> Well, I I was hoping millions of you guys would get out in front of this storm and protest the ice that's coming

so that you know they won't go into your neighborhoods. The ice because ice is going to be everywhere. Do you think they'll protest that ice or just go in? >> Millions of people donating to buy me a coffee.com/ civilization

cycle. >> Sweet. No, I was just just joking. Maybe you guys should get out there and protest the weather coming the ice. It's going to be mean. Anyway, that's all I got. >> See you next week. Bye for now.
