David Pyne and I discuss the increasing threat of China and their nuclear expansion. The Washington Times news agency reported the Chinese are building a third intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) field, that would be the home of over 100 new missiles. This could put the US and our western allies in a major pickle. The Chinese could effectively conduct nuclear blackmail of a US President, with just a threat of nuclear annihilation. David Pyne currently serves as Deputy Director of National Operations for the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, as a Vice President for the Association of the United States Army's Utah chapter and as a West Valley City Police Honorary Colonel.

Lee's Military Advisory Committee and as 2nd Vice President of the Salt Lake Total Force Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America. He also served as Chairman/Vice Chairman of the Utah State Legislative Compensation Commission from 2009-2017. David holds a MA degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University's prestigious School of Foreign Service. He has been interviewed on television, on several talk radio shows and has been quoted in a number of newspapers, magazine articles and books. Mr. Pyne has had his op-eds published in The National Interest, Real Clear History, Deseret News, Salt Lake Tribune, the Provo Daily Herald, WorldNetDaily.com and Military.com. He, along with other EMP Task Force leaders, are available to speak to national or state policymakers and staffers, emergency management professionals or to civic and political groups on the EMP threat and other existential threats facing our great nation.

Texas was recently hit by a freak ice storm, a once in a hundred-year event. Many things went wrong that contributed to this disaster, however, it did reveal the need to prepare for anything.

But are there really freak events, or do we just not think about them?Links Twitter: https://twitter.com/PrepperProFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProvidentPrepper/?ref=br_rsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsehkdEMPHIy_PIBZZs3VRgWebsite: https://theprovidentprepper.org/Email: The Provident Prepper Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/TheProvidentPrepper/Civil Defense Radio Information Website: https://civildefenseradio.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CivilDefenseRadioYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=civil+defense+radio+podcastCD Radio Resources (Financial Support)Bitcoin address: 1DvbeG6R3i2atz8jcES19Ea52wWujyfPZhEthereum address: 0x03cf870e7b78c9bfad22e1f6836b387ce3ac9e63
