My guys might force podcasts were war three. What's the plan here? You know, now look, I don't want to fear monger here. World War three. Like you don't have to prepare for World War three to be prepared for World War three. Like what I mean is like if you're prepared period, you're prepared for World War three.

Let me give you an example. Like this is really conflict thing. This is a very hot topic, a very significant issue that's going on.

This is going to affect a lot of things that happen natural security wise, foreign policy wise for the United States of America. No doubt.

But will we be fighting a campaign on American soil? Not necessarily. So statistically, in most probable, you need to be prepared to fight for that worst case scenario.

Because if you're fighting for the worst case or preparing for the worst case, you are set up for success for everything else. So what's the worst case case? Well, Israel, Israel citizens who is literally the IDF, the Israeli defense force, everybody in Israel as a country serves in some capacity, has some capability and they have a large significant presence protecting themselves.

And they weren't prepared. You're looking at six to eight hours of time it took for first responders to get the citizens in villages right outside of Gaza that were initially attacked within minutes in some cases where over now 1400 people killed.

What do those people do as a plan? Well, they immediately went down to their safe rooms. Now most of these safe rooms are reinforced concrete rooms that have doors, including metal locking mechanisms that are reinforced reinforced hinges, still plates covering the bolt mechanism.

All of the amenities underground that they would need to survive, and that's the protocol. But mostly that protocol is designed to protect them from rocket attacks, which is their most likely most probable, most dangerous course of action is what took place.

So what were they prepared for? They weren't prepared. In fact, many of the people who died, including 60 people in one village, were drug out burned in or shot and killed by fragmentation grenades in their rooms, because they weren't prepared. They didn't have weapons to protect themselves.

They don't have protocols, including multiple barriers of entry. So this is a significant issue with kind of our culture, because we're catering to the most likely course of action, but not necessarily the most dangerous course of action, which is why I wanted to line out this Mike force podcast.

This podcast is sponsored by black rifle coffee company. Mike force 20 to save 20% on subs. I appreciate you guys and all the support from black rifle. If we look at the situation with preparation in general across the country, it's a stigma associated with paranoia.

Like if you're preparing in some way and anybody finds out, hey, you hear that he's preparing, then you're that guy. Oh, it's like, oh, Uncle Joe's coming over and you know about Uncle Joe, he's like stockpiling food.

That's the problem that exists in our country is the stigmas attached to these specific things like preparing. It's one of the reasons I wrote this book prepared.

I mean, literally a lot of people have hit me up and not even realized that I wrote a book called prepared, because when you book launch a book, you talk about the book when you don't book launch, you don't talk about the book.

But yeah, I wrote a book called prepared, I manual for surviving worst case scenarios, because I wanted to talk to people who weren't necessarily the demographic like, I don't know, LDS and Mormon, you're prepared because it's part of your culture.

If you're a tinful hat guy and you live in Baghdad, Arizona in the middle of a RV in the middle of the desert, yeah, you're prepared.

But generally speaking, the rest of the country doesn't even think about it because there's so many stigmas attached to it, they don't want to be associated with the crazy guys, the tinful hat guys, the preppers.

You know, you don't want to be on that episode of National Geographic where they're talking about you and how crazy you are because you got a couple lives and a lot of food and a lot of guns.

Some of the things I'm going to talk about today come from the book prepared as a reference just to put that out to you.

Also, I know Amazon put it on sale for like 11 bucks for the hard copy, which kind of feels like a rip off for people who paid $30 for it.

But it's on sale and it's like $5 for the audible version of that.

I would recommend the audible version, Jack Carr's Ray Porter, who's the voice of Terminalist, who Jack Carr writes the forward for this book, sets the stage, and I do my own voice over for the actual book itself.
