Those are your headlines to get all the details on more head on over to our to call up next breaking down for the 6 offering all kinds of opinion is the big picture enjoy. There is a fear in america of the virus and of strife firelands places in the heartland as placide is konoha wisconsin should be and with the pandemic thrusting many employees into work at home mode and many of them prefer him to stay there and many of their employers ready to lead them as they rethink pricey office space in town along. Of us are rethinking how and where we live its a survival mindset that weve acquired in the last couple of months but even if you have plan on staying put should you be stocking up lets ask survival medicine expert dr joe alton who with his a Nurse Practitioner wife amy hosts the survival medicine website doom and gloom dot net it is a rich trove posts and podcasts and videos and they have authored altons pandemic preparedness guy dealing with the emerging and current viral threats and the survival medicine handbook the essential guide for when medical help is not on the way and promise me that after this show you will visit doom and gloom dot net and search disasters supplies the short version of which joe will no list for a stock even for those watching who plan on staying put what are they remiss not having in the house. How and where you should have a home depends a lot on how you answer these questions how long will you be in survival mode the longer youre going to be beyond the reach of a functioning medical system the more supplies youre going to need to deal with common injuries and illnesses brains and strains respiratory infections bleeding wounds burns and more are best handled with some basic supplies like a straps turning its burn dressings antibiotics and over the counter meds among others another question who are you responsible for you have your immediate family by who else might be coming that could require 1st aid and home care are you expecting your elderly parents your siblings your next door neighbor you may think you only need supplies to deal with very few loved ones but you almost certainly will end up responsible for more people than you think what about food and drink most folks dont have more food than they can consume in about 3 days or so down here in florida hurricane prepared people will have enough for 2 weeks but what if there is a long term event you need much more if youre concerned about a true life changing disaster food water contamination thats an issue so make sure you have a good filter and lots of nonperishable food in your storage now you might wonder what items are going to be scarce in an emergency well you can expect a lot of panic buying and besides food and water weve seen products like bathroom tissue and paper towels fly off the shelves this year Hand Sanitizers facemask even diapers became premium items how about a way to generate power a home generator is a wise choice but it would be unwise to use it in any situation where there isnt good ventilation and one recent storm in florida an entire family was overwhelmed by generator fumes from an open doorway and what about cash we worry about power shortages in disaster and a shortage of purchasing power well that can be catastrophic credit card systems may be down so make sure you have a stash of small denomination bills so that you can get the stuff you need to keep it together even if Everything Else falls apart. Hey doc what are the must have items and a home for a staid kit well think about what the likely medical issues are that you might face certainly need ways to deal with burns orthopedic injuries and bleeding things like bandages pressure dressing splints and turn it gets but you also want it he said strips for minor injuries antibiotics or infections medicines for stomach upset and rashes and special items for family members with chronic illnesses and be sure to have a guide with simple step by step instructions on how to deal with common emergencies you know when the whole shutdown happened i ordered online some of that survival food that will last for 25 years and i actually have tried it but it strikes me as a very high carb diet any advice about food that will sit until you need it. Well holland you know many of these products are known as m r es m. R. Estampes for meals ready to eat but soldiers of long describe them by colorful nicknames like meals rejected by everyone and worse the truth is though that some survival emerys are bad theyre just not meant for consumption more than about 3 weeks in a row emerys are a high energy food source that contain calories and essential nutrients but theyre not a real balanced diet theyre designed to spend years on a shelf when they have large amounts of preservatives sodium and little or no fiber fiber eating a diet consisting solely of the stuff well it is long term represents and some pretty impressive bowel issues laxatives anti diarrhea those gas relievers stool softeners well these are going to come in very handy in your medical. Hey several of bet for me since the virus has us all looking over our shoulder there is a school of thought that we could be over doing it with Hand Sanitizer and tempting superbugs to jump the fence factor meth. Absolutely i think that Hand Sanitizers are a big part of good hand and respiratory hygiene from from my standpoint you cant have enough Hand Sanitizer and instead of using just drop of it here actually have some handsomeness are there instead of using just a drop of it i think you should use quite a bit of it now thats actually opposite of what the World Health Organization says but the truth of the matter is that thats because there are shortages of this and so i think that you should use a good amount of it enough to really get all of the things that you need now there are super bugs that may not be affected by some of these but youre going to get the gram majority of the bacteria and viruses that can cause trouble including 1000 and absent Hand Sanitizer good Old Fashioned soap and water sing happy birthday twice thatll do the trick to doc yes soap and water is actually i think superior to Hand Sanitizer of your hands are actually dirty Hand Sanitizer really doesnt work so if you actually have any visible dirt on your hands i think its very very important to go ahead and use so who order and wash that dirt off with those that dirt is full of bugs yes yuck dr joe alton doom and gloom dot net thank you as always for solid advice here on the big picture come again what are the legal aspects of going off the grid lets ask attorney and apparently University Professor stephen j. J. Wiseman a counselor is it legal to disconnect from society. You know im going to give you the the lawyer answer all and that is yes and no its only the yes part is you definitely can disconnect from the grid however there are all kinds of regulations that can be found in each state has their own regulations that deal with a lot of these. Use from heating and power to Waste Disposal and water municipal regulations state regulations some states have fewer alaska which you might expect more people up the grid and fewer restrictions but you definitely can do fear isnt the only thing driving us off the grid the wildfires out west are just terrible to see every night you know when Hurricane Season comes up puerto rico hunkers down so a lot of people are installing alternate Power SystemsSanitation Systems etc not so fast before you call the contractor though correct steve arent there is zoning and other regulatory boxes youve got to check off. Yeah there are a lot of zoning and municipal regulations that apply and you mention like hurricanes in storms and fires and actually even here in new england one year we had a massive storm in october a snowstorm in october that took away power for about a week and that was the last week before my wife and i bought a generator and we got the generator we got a really good generator it gives you a feeling of confidence but there are there are real precise regulations municipal regulations as far as the electrical hook ups that have to be done in these are with good reason you know the Public Welfare is important some people dont take care of installing these things properly so it is really important to make sure youre complying with all of the state and municipal regulations people my age are here in knowing all have a story about the great blizzard of 78 a 100 people died and right after the blizzard i went out and bought a snow blower and if the snow again for years so i was just figuring out better safe than story but for folks who are temporarily relocating i think youve got a scam alert for us because the last thing you want to do is leave your house looking on occupied mail piling up etc any advice for people who are going to leave for a week or 2 or 3. Yeah you know you definitely want to have your house secure and you know frankly its the kind of thing where scammers are always taking advantage of these situations theyre going through there will be looting if you can put in a a good Security System one that can even alert the police some people i know just put the signs out on the line and figure that few dollars and it saves them but its really important because scammers never leave they take advantage of everything they were. Will check on your mail so you dont want to have your your mail being held up they will check to see if lights are on and so you may want to have lights periodically turned on and off automatically so yeah these are real concerns. Because a lot of good advice from the movie home alone you want to get the kid next door to keep mold in your lawn and im told that youll scare thieves away if you keep a very large dog bowl on the porch attorney author and bentley University Professor stephen jay jay wisemans site is scam aside dot com hes got a scam of the day there you ought to subscribe steve thanks again for joining us. Coming up someone you know who frequently goes off the grid we will check in about checking out with governor Jesse Ventura when we come back this is the big picture on our. A new gold rush is underway in. Thousands of ill equipped workers now flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich is that good. As they. Were children a tool in between gold. Was very poor i thought that i was doing my best to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. Especially lately i might be tempted to just check out day dream or nightmare lets ask someone who was already famous before he shocked the political world in 1999 when he became governor of minnesota and every 4 years people still beg him to run for president but Jesse Ventura regularly recesses to an undisclosed location and we want to ask you about that governor welcome back to the big picture. Towards the end of president obamas 2nd term i remember a reporter asking him whats next and the president says i have to be quiet for a while and he didnt mean i got to go sit still and shut my trap he really just wanted to come to shake it off after the immense responsibility that he shouldered for 8 years having bene chief executive can you relate to that toward the end of your term. Absolutely and i only did 4 years i can only imagine what it would be like at the end of 8 but at the end of 4 years yes when you leave office you kind of should around lonely at 1st not knowing what the heck youre going to do and then you sit and feel then you feel lighter the weight of the world is come off your shoulders and its at that point you need to just simply go out and relax for a while then get focused on the next part of your life is the best advice i can give and thats what led me into going off the grid is that when i got out of office i i wanted to take a vacation away from it all and my son at the time was working for sean pam and sean penn knew a hotel down in kavos and lucas that was out of the main way a lot of stars went there so thats where i went for 2 weeks and then it up extending it for 3 an issue we upon getting out of office then of course the next year i went and taught at harvard and you know who knows a few years down the line youre im not archie but i still do live off the grid and i was still on my off the grid house which im hoping to get to this winter and suddenly when you werent governor anymore you had to drive yourself you didnt have the stadia with the smokey bear had anymore ha. No no a bear but i like driving myself in fact i would never fly have by drive the whole thing its 3000 miles from my house in minneapolis to my house when the bar bought. While europeans really value their Vacation Time they call it holiday and even keeping up with all that you and i have to do following the news to do our shows here on our t. V. Like Many Americans its easy to become a workaholic unless you do check out in the way that you do from time to time dont you feel as though youre going to miss the forest for the trees of life no not at all our 1st of all ive been down that road of overworking yourself there was a point holland in my rush link career i wrestled shickshinny 3 consecutive nights in a row think about that 6 over 2 months every night i was in the wrestling ring and that include traveling to get there working out doing everything to prepare yourself to have a professional wrestling match show you can overwork yourself fortunately we usually do it at a young age where our bodies and minds can handle it because thats how i viewed it and now today i could never work at that level that i did what i did 63 nights in a row as a pro wrestler hey i dont want to blow your cover by asking it too much detail but just how remote as your get away do you have the internet there are to choose not to. Well 1st of all i heard your previous guest talk about all these regulations and stuff if you go off the grid i got news for all your viewers go off the grid in mexico theres no regulations whatsoever all you got to do is pay your taxes they dont care about nothing else get out of the u. S. The u. S. Is the country of regulations down to mexico i live an hour from pavement and an hour from electricity now wait ive got to correct that only a half hour from electricity now they brought electricity to the Little School up in the Mountain Ridge that i have to travel by to go into town so im a half hour from electricity and a full hour from pavement and what you do then is you require yourself to plan ahead you go to town once a week your buy you everything you need for that week but the great thing about living like dad is changing your life you go from watching t. V. Like we do holland keeping track of everything happening in the world when you get down when i get down there off the grid my only world is what i can see yes my wife has internet but we have no telephone we have no television to watch the any television throughout the world show i go literally for months with no phone and no t. V. And it is wonderful and jesse this is the 1st time you and i have had a chance to talk since that bombshell piece in the atlantic quoting President Trump remarks about john mccain which have since been documented by video and tweets that have gone viral saying things about the general he is called those who have served and defended our country losers and suckers and has reportedly if you can believe this ask that wounded veterans been kept out of parades a chessie ever since the access Hollywood Tape i am convinced that nothing sticks to this guy do you think this will on election day. I dont know but it stuck to me ill tell you what when he sits and tells us Vietnam Veterans were suckers for go and all that because he didnt because he more than likely committed a felony to get out of military service he calls himself the most patriotic man in america and yet if you look at him and his whole family trump and his whole family 3 generations not one of them has ever served in the military i could tell you their solemn i did 4 years active duty and 2 years in the reserves not once not once during those 4 years did i meet someone worth 1000000. 00 millionaires dont sure vote military they use the military and as far as trump goes he was a coward when it was his time to go and show his patriotism he went to the bunker and failed miserably and i dont know why people dont see their side of this guy when theyre go and get stuff he skips town apparently bone spurs run in the family and jesse every time i see you i say thank you for your service and every time i meet a vietnam vet to this day i still say welcome home so all of this is is pretty unseemly and then on the heels of this atlantica expose comes Bob Woodwards book is it possible that President Trump may have just flunked the i. Q. Test who in their right mind of either party would submit to 18 interviews by bob woodward. Well you got to remember this i heard him talk live reading from something the other day and i learned we have a new park in america called yoshi might you said you know she hides in the head of yosemite and hes rounded yet hes frickin reading act and he says you know smite 3 times i turn to my wife i go you know smite you mean in fact eyes name was you know smite sam instead of yosemite sam in the cartoons it i mean i really dont think trump is bright as he as people lead us to believe when your daddy leaves you 400000000. 00 its pretty hard to be a failure when you get that much to start off with and again getting back to military when it was i want to see his bone spurs he called for obamas birth certificate i want to see is bone spurs because if he had of me should still have them unless he had im sure gigli removed because they dont just disappear after reading his nieces book id like to do a little handwriting analysis on his s. A t. Test as well theres a lot of concern which the you know the president is throwing gas on the flames of concerned about what he warns will be a rig the election the lot a mail in ballots and theres a lot of procedure that goes with when they can start opening and counting those ballots when do you think we will know who won the president ial race is this going to be 2000 all over again well. I dont know i dont think itll be 2000 but its going to be delayed because youre going to have so many mail in vote but let me just state this it goes along with what the president said about his respect for the military because obviously he still doesnt respect the military when they vote because if youre deployed overseas guess how you got a vote you got a vote by mail and its been done for years and years and years with nobody saying anything about it and now all of a sudden voting by mail is good is ripped through with fraud and all this the reason match so trump is doing anything he can not to lose and if he could and republicans traditionally if theres a lower voter turnout they do better if its a higher voter turnout the democrats do better and by the way i got to tell you holland apparently im on the ballot in alaska. Who do you thinks going to take minnesota this time it is going to be a swing state right well they say it is but its always been traditionally democrat pretty much i dont foresee trump winning minnesota we have you know Democratic Senators here right now both current democrats we have a current democratic governor. Both are cities the major cities have democratic mayors so were a fairly liberal state we always have been but minnesota surprises me too because weve been very slow on the legalization of cannabis which causes me great embarrassment that the state of minnesota is standing on the dock while the ships leaving the harbor. I want to just bounce back to what you were saying about the military because god bless them our men and women in uniform have a commander in chief they tend to be loyal they tend to fall in line what is your message to people in uniform about what the president has said about them talk to them. Well my message to i would tell them theres a better thing to do and thats read Major GeneralSmedley Butler his book war is a racket the 2 time congressional medal of honor winner marine read that book i would suggest all military personnel read that book and then make your own judgment after reading general butlers the 2 time congressional medal of honor winners book war is a racket. You know these men and women put their lives on the line and we call them heroes for protecting our freedom our freedom is not been in any danger since world war 2 lets face facts none of these wars were involved in affect our freedom nobodys coming in here to take us over i would like to know who that is and where the normandy invasion is going to take place in virginia. This president talks tough and ever since hes been in office weve been walking down the sidewalk in washington very carefully because defense contractors are doing cartwheels a governor Jesse Ventura host of the world according to jesse here on america drive carefully for those 3000 miles down to mexico and thanks for coming back talk to us jesse.
