Food-at-home prices are forecast to rise 2.4% in 2025 per USDA’s latest outlook, but with tariff threats looming and staples like rice up 1.2% already, your grocery bill could jump another 4–6% by Q1 2026. In this hands-on video, I show you how to meal prep a full week’s worth of defensive staples (rice, beans, oats, canned fish) for under $50—even if cash is tight. Pulling straight from my book Defensive Preparedness, these low-cost strategies turn bulk buys into resilient, no-waste meals that stretch during inflation squeezes or supply hiccups. No fancy kitchen needed—just smart swaps and a pantry mindset.

With Trump heading to the G20 in South Africa this weekend (Nov 22-23), new 60% tariffs on Chinese goods are already being priced in. Economists warn this could add $1,800–$2,600 to the average household bill in 2026 and spike food-at-home prices another 4–6% on top of the 2.4% already forecast. In this video I break down exactly how those tariffs flow through the supply chain → port → shelf pipeline, why the pain hits groceries and fuel first, and how fast it can turn into empty shelves or EBT outages (“No EBT December”). Then — pulling straight from my book Defensive Preparedness — I give you the exact defensive moves that cost almost nothing and work even if money is tight right now.

Howdy, crew—this Monday’s situation report tears across the globe with fresh OSINT heat from Africa’s Sahel meltdown to Pacific storms and everything in between. Côte d’Ivoire tightens its northern border as thousands flee JNIM massacres in Mali, where 2025 has already shattered records for foreign abductions (22–26 taken since May). Ethiopia scrambles to ID a mystery hemorrhagic fever after eight cases pop up in the south—Ebola-level labs now on standby. Australia’s ASIO boss drops a bombshell: Beijing-linked hackers are pre-positioned for “high-impact sabotage” on power grids and ports. Indonesia buries three and digs for 20 more after torrential Java landslides, while Iran quietly loosens hijab patrols on Tehran streets but slams the door harder on dissent—classic good-cop/bad-cop from the clerics. Over in Europe, a Russian Su-30 crashes and burns near the Finnish line (both pilots dead), Storm Claudia hammers the UK with flood alerts after shredding the Canaries, and Indigenous activists literally block the front doors of Brazil’s COP30 venue in Belém, forcing delegates to sneak in the side. Quick hits: Pakistan nabs four behind the Islamabad court suicide blast, Bangladesh braces for Hasina-verdict riots, Canada thwarts “lethal” Iranian plots on its soil, Chile and Ecuador vote Sunday on crime and foreign bases, and China finally requires export licenses for 13 fentanyl precursors heading to Mexico—huge if enforced. Plus the latest OSAC drops: Somalia e-visa mega-breach, South Sudan still Level 4, Morocco AFCON 2025 security brief, and Listeria chicken alerts in Costa Rica. Sourced from Reuters, AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, ACLED, and fresh OSAC wires—this is the raw global pulse you need before the week explodes.
