Welcome in, everybody. The pink ghost. The hand designed custom one of a kind, pink ghost coffee mug. Get yours today at nowhere.com because there's only one of them and it's mine. It belongs to me. Dirt cheap and free preps, folks. Hey, we ain't doing an episode every day, okay? It's not happening.

Sorry. It was a great idea. It's not happening. That's all. Let's move on. We'll pop in, you know what I mean, as many days as possible this week or this month, rather to do a dirt cheap and free prep segment. But doing a standalone dirt cheap and free preps show each and every day of the month,

it's the 15th and I've done like, you know, not 15. So we're going to keep it going. We're going to keep promoting the incredible, the one in only. prepper disc at the end of a lot, if not all of our shows this year, or this month. That's the deal. You know what I mean? That's the deal. Today we have one.

Today we have a great one. Leaves and seeds? Leaves e seeds. What's up common sense practical prepper over at X? If you guys are watching on X, go following the common sense practical prepper. We're talking leaves and seeds today on dirt cheap and free preps. there was a time, right? Well, you know what I kind of would like to do?

Actually, I haven't done yet today. I would like to check out if you don't mind. No, we'll do it in between. We'll do it in between. You want to do dirt cheaper? You want to do free first? What should we do? DC or F, what do you want to do?

One more sip of the magic. I need to do a whole show for you guys on supermarkets because supermarkets are changing right now in a very big way. I found two massive changes. in supermarkets yesterday. I don't want to, I don't want to do it on the whim. But I want you to go in. I want you to look at the size of things and I want you to look at the price of things and understand that it's a little different. Some things are changing. What prices may look like they're going down, you've got to be very careful about the quantities that

you're getting. I'm sorry. Oh, God. I'm like, Molto relaxed here. I don't know why. just really do you like the hat so this is uh this i bought it's hard to believe that i bought this for 50 bucks wearing this on my head right now just four years later or three years and it's probably to be like two or three years later it feels like it should be about 150 bucks nowadays right but it's cool i bought it because we had this crazy little dog named zella and she was an absolute maniac and she was so much fun man and when i saw this thing i was like that's her there she is she is It's my little girl. We may have one that's even crazier now.

Her name's Todette. And when she gets on, she's pretty wild too. Fits right in. Fits right, at least with me and the wife. You know what I mean? So what I would like to do, folks, first, is talk about seeds. Okay? Years ago, years ago, you would wind up like everywhere.

You would see seed banks, right? you would see all these seed banks for sale, survival seed banks, herbal seed banks, all kinds of different canisters, containers, bags, boxes, things that were filled with seeds. All kinds of varieties of seeds, different. The vast majority of my gardening experience bloomed out of having access to those survival seed banks, and I still have plenty survival seed banks. and I believe in survival seed banks 100%. That's not something I talk about on this podcast very often.

And it's weird. You know, when I pulled this out, I don't even know if this company exists anymore, so it's not necessarily a plug for them, but I want to talk to you about seed banks, man, because seeds are still really dirt cheap. If you buy them this way, right? If you buy seeds this way, they're very, this is,

I bought this probably two years ago, if not three years ago at PreparCamp. It might have been four years ago, actually. One of the things I've come to realize about seeds, man, is they go way past their expiration. They really do. This thing is not dated, but it was a cute little couple at PreparCamp.

They were selling Red Fox Organics. 35 seed varieties. So each seed packet cost me less than a dollar. because there's 35 seed varieties, and they gave me that for $24.50 or something like that, $25. And it has, I mean, it's got everything, you know? Now, what's important to understand is, like, when you buy a seed bank,

you're going to find out that certain things you can grow and certain things you can't grow, you know? Never tried the celery, not once in my whole life if I tried the celery. But I know just looking off this thing, I could go grow some great arugula. I could grow green beans like crazy beach, like crazy. Kale like crazy has always been good. Although the last few years, I don't know what it is. I have struggled with kale. We cut down a big tree this year in order to let the sun hit the yard again.

A lot of maintenance, man, when you live in, where I live is gorgeous. This time you there's nothing like it. I mean, the trees surround us everywhere and it's a valley largely. But it's beautiful. Cucumbers like crazy. Eggplant I've done. lettuce easy lime as I've never done here but I've done them at our other location onions red and yellow peas peppers

radish every year radish every year radish I guess it's the British and us we just love them my oldest and I particularly but my youngest too now green squash yellow squash

beefsteak tomatoes cherry tomatoes all squash do well here I've got giant I've got pumpkin leaves right now out back. I can't show you how big they are because they're not as big as the screen allows. They are bigger than this. Now you know what? They might be about this big. I've got leaves on pumpkin right now that big. Insane. You're just giant. Turnip. Turnip green's great. Watermelon I've never done good on ever. I don't think I've harvested a melon from my backyard once

that was worth eating size you know the uh ripness the whole thing but these are out there man let's take a peek i really don't know um i don't know what the the amazon look is right now i'm just going to look up seed bank and amazon we're going to look together and see what people are selling and what people are charging just to sort of prove the point i already know that they're going to be cheap but just to prove the point, right? Let's see what we got. Zone 9 seeds. Here's a starter. Here's my exact kit. Somebody must have either, it looks like the exact same kit. Starter kit, hairlum seeds, 32 packs, 2499. Now you go to the store, right? And you're going to buy a pack for $4.4. You buy a pack of hairlum seeds, it's like $4 or $5.

Survival Essential, 17,500 non-GMO seeds, 100 variety, $76. These are 55 vegetable seed variety, $30. This is the best one right here. Look at that. Hairloom seeds. I mean, that's just, I want to buy it right now. This is one that I want to buy right now. You know what I mean?

Like I said, it's just sitting there. It's just sitting there for the picking, for the plucking. And that was a great time, too. Well, maybe not. Honestly, if I was going to be real silly about this, I'd watch this product and wait because it'll go on sale. You know what I mean? It'll go on sale, particularly in the dead of winter.

It'll be maybe like a Black Friday or a prime in the dead of winter. This thing will go on sale. Or maybe even in the spring, right? And you can grab it. grab yourself 35,600 seeds, folks. You're not going to screw up 35,600 seeds. Something's going to work. You know what I mean?

Something's going to work even if you don't know nothing about nothing. Brian Burke is with us. How you doing, sir? How you doing? Rich Baker, welcome in over at Instagram. Eat? What is Eat a ban? Some of you guys with your Instagram names, like, let's tone it down a little bit.

It's make it easy to understand. But yeah, so like I said, years ago, these things were tremendous. They were everywhere. They were awesome. And I don't see people talking about them selling them like they used to, right? I see a lot of water stuff. I see a lot of food stuff. I see a lot of power stuff.

I do see demand for heirloom seats, but I don't see a lot of people selling seed banks like they used to. And I bought seed banks in the early days of prepping. And I was so blessed because my mother-in-law was more of a prepper than I am. And she bought seed banks. And, you know, it was just one of those things. We wound up with a lot of seeds. So that's your dirt cheap prep for today.

It is $25 to $30. So it's not as cheap as some of our preps have been for the earlier shows in the month, you know, a couple dollars or whatever, $4. But when you think about what it is, you think about what a, what a, something like this represents in terms of food. Oh, my, my thing is just dying to see me instead of the seed bank. Well, you think about what it represents, right? You've got to come over here a little bit, buddy.

And a little back, there we go. Johnny Five gets crazy. Johnny Five gets crazy sometimes. He sees you waving your hands around talking and he thinks, he thinks you're giving them orders. For those of you don't know, Johnny 5 is this guy, this AI powered camera that's looking at me. You do a great job, Johnny, you do, but you're a little overzealous from time and time, that's all. Like most AI operations.

So, before we get into the free prep, I want to get in to my own personal Be Aware dashboard because I haven't checked it out today, and it's new and improved, and I'm having a ball with it. So let's do it. Here, man, we are in the beta version. And you know, we're going to just take me out of the picture altogether. Because we are in the beta version. And it is, I want to show you something I learned today. I probably learned it another time.

Brian, if you're listening, sorry, I wasn't paying good enough attention. I did horrible in school. And it shows. So for those of you who are uninitiated, okay? If you are uninitiated, first and foremost, this is what you want. If you're a prep, if you're prep preparedness minded, right? If you're type A, if you're a planner, if you're the type of person who wants to be in the no-make plans, have things go well day-to-day, be aware of what's happening, right? This is the best resource there is.

Be Prepared Solutions.co. There are Be Aware dashboard, which is available to everybody. Okay. you can go to the link in the Instagram live. You can go to the link in the broadcast itself. And you'll be able to check your zip code in this exact same Be Aware dashboard. Just use that link, that be prepared solutions.com link. You'll see it.

You'll see a little cell phone and it'll ask you a question. Trust me, it's worth it. It's worth the five, ten minutes. When I look at this thing right now, what I'm seeing is a news feed scrolling. And this is not a news feed of everything that's going on. This is a news feed of stuff that I need to know about. We have technological news scrolling down there. We have a crime in the area.

Right now I'm looking at the radio section because the radio section is just so cool. It gives us a breakdown of different radio stations and how they can affect us where we can get news, right? where we can get news when we need it, where we can get frequencies that we can get the NOAA brought up on. Maybe you have those programmed into your thing already. You should. It's not hard. Into your radio.

I actually use GMRS, so mine are in the 400 band. My pre-programmed weather radios, but, you know, it is what it is. It's all information. You could tune into these things. And they give you, you know, Local news, NOA radio here we can tune in directly, right?

If I'm not mistaken, let's give it a word. You wouldn't test. I don't have my headphones on, so I can't even verify. The following information is for Hapton, roads, and northeast North Carolina. My headphones are working. There you go. There you go. Mississippi Bay from Little Creek, Virginia to Cape Henry, Virginia, including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

I feel like I'd like to follow sleep in this. It's kind of nice. Today, Northeast wins 15 to 20 knots. I'm not going to lie, it's kind of nice. But this is what I want to do, okay? This is what I want to do and what I want to show off today because this is so sweet. Let's look at layers. Layas.

I was doing a charcoal drawing with my son last night and trying to show him about layers. Calm briefing, Stormwatch, sky over home, wide air. right boom what's going I'm traveling today I'm going to I'm going to DC let's hit the wide area right let's hit the wide area and see what we're dealing with right now we can get a much bigger understanding of what's going on around us it's cool man it's a very cool thing and actually we give it time it's going to do even more stuff 30 layers operational you got it all this one is probably the coolest I think I just I just think it's a cool idea, man.

The sky over the home. It gives you a bunch of stuff. Give it a minute because there's stuff it needs to do. Flights, radar, and clouds all around the home. We could look at Stormwatch today because we have some rain rolling into the area. You see, we may need to zoom out for this to be effective. Whoops. Is it currently raining?

Is that what that means? I'm not 100% sure what these lines are, but they look apocalyptic at the moment. Remember, this is in the beta version, so we don't have everything ironed out just yet. Let's zoom out and see, actually. I want to see now. What is this?

These are, oh, you know what this might be? This looks like satellites or some kind of path of weather, perhaps. It looks like we're in the middle of a hurry. Okay, not the moment. right opens up with that calm briefing we can zoom in and see what's going on see we got some weather rolling into town we may get it maybe maybe we won't get it i don't know maybe later maybe later and this is just one piece you know what i mean this is one piece of the hole it is light heat

and wildfire this is married yesterday i wonder what it is folks be prepared solutions.co, if you like what you see, you can sign up for the Be Aware dashboard itself or the whole shebang, shebang, which is, I mean, you can make your own preparedness plan over there. It's incredible. It really is. And use the promo code PBN 20, get 20% off at signup. Pretty good. Pretty good. I'm talking about having your own customized preparedness plan, access to professional advisors if you were so interested, right? Fully customized kits built out for you and your family, by the person, by their age, by their need, right?

It's just a really comprehensive thing. If you want help in preparedness, like, take it, you know what I mean? Take it. So we talked about seeds. Now we need to talk about leaves, right? This is a really cool willow leaf that, fell uh i don't know it fell on my back porch somehow i'm not quite sure how i do have a willow oak outback but the leaves aren't off aren't usually pointed like these uh these willow well why is

willow so important class what does willow do why is the willow tree so important what's the willow bark do what's up native flows how have you been i'm not actually going up to uh dc I just was using as example to show off that incredible be aware dashboard. But why? Why is the willow so important for you to know? It's because the bark contains an active ingredient in aspirin. Is that right? It contains salicylic or salicylin, I think it is.

It's some derivative of salicylic acid, which is the pain reliever fever reducer. You take two ounces of bark. I know this part. You take two ounces of bark, simmer it for 10 to 20 minutes in eight ounces of water, drink it. And you've got a pain reliever fever reducer, concoction, or really what's that called? And not an emulsion. What is that called? Somebody help me out.

Who's good with the homemade medicines? Not an emulsion. They'd call it something. I don't know what it is. It's a tea, for God's sakes. That's what it is. And like I said, fever reducer pain reliever from the backyard. In my neck of the, I live near a creek, so in my neck of the woods,

willows are all over. They're all over. That's not why I want to talk to you about leaves as a free prep, though. I want to talk you about leaves as a free prep because what's going to happen starting now and through the rest of the season, you know, for another month at least, is people are going to be asking questions. What do I do with the leaves? When's leaf collection date?

When do the leaves get picked up? I got to blow leaves this weekend. I got a rake leaves this weekend. I got a bag leaves this week. Should I bag them? Is the city want them bagged or they just want them up at the curb like normal? This is compost. This is next season's growing strata.

You know what I mean? Like it's next season's going growing substrate. What's falling out of the sky right now, particularly if you're in an area that gets a lot of leaves, is a pile that you can turn, literally, into compost. You're probably going to pull a lot of green material up out of a garden soon, or a lot of dead material up out of a garden soon that's going to go into hopefully a compost pile too, right? You're going to keep that pile wet all through the season.

You're going to turn it regularly, tarp it, tarp it and turn it regularly. And even if you're really bad at making compost, I've been on both sides of this thing, So I'm telling you from experience, right? I've had years where I really paid a lot of attention to the compost. And then next year I had some great composted materials to fill in raised beds. And then I've had years where I've taken barely broken down leaves and use that as cover, ground cover for the garden to protect the seedlings and protect the ground from weeds growing up. up out of it and all that kind of stuff.

So, but right now, it's just cheap and easy. It's free. It's better than cheap and easy. It's dirt. It's free. If you take the time through the next few months and really get the compost pile started with all the leaves falling in your yard, then what you'll have next year is money saved because you won't be out buying bags of soil, bags of organic compost.

You won't be filling the pickup truck up with loads of compost. posted, whatever, somebody else who did the work and turned nothing materials into, you know, $50 a truckload or whatever. But it's all on you, man. That's the problem, right? The problem is it's on you. Are you going to do it? Are you going to say, eh, I'll drop $100, fill the raise beds back up, you know?

It's weird because the cheap and free stuff, particularly the free stuff, doesn't get taken advantage of as much as you think it would. You know what I mean? It doesn't get taken advantage of as much as you think it would. Everyone you say like give them something free, Jim. Sorry, I just kicked my camera like an idiot. Give them something free, man. And you think like, okay, who's not, who doesn't want something for free? A lot of people don't want something for free. Because sometimes free just means no money, but it doesn't mean no work, right? It doesn't mean no effort. And that's a big deal, right? That's a big deal.

What's up Apple Eater with Rome? How you doing? How you doing today? It's a very interesting name. I'd love an explanation. I also don't know what 07 means. No clue. So, folks, that's it for today.

In terms of dirt cheap and free, we're going to go over some news. We're going to keep the stream going beyond the dirt cheap and free concept. Because I'm here. so we might as well. There's news to be had. I want to welcome everyone in on all the different streaming platforms. We are live all over the world, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, X, Instagram, Rumblekick. Welcome everybody, follow, spread the word, share. Most importantly, take advantage of the podcast at large, prepperbroadcasting.com, okay? Prepper Broadcasting. I'm one piece of this puzzle, okay? I'm the Intrepid commander. over at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

But there's a lot of hosts over there, man. We have at least 12 hosts that do live shows, and we have even more hosts who we have archive of that are amazing. I mean, they're incredible. Incredible. The herbal medicine for Prepper's entire archive is worth its weight in gold, literally, literally worth its weight in gold over there. So go to Prepperbroadcasting.com.

You can ask the website all about herbal medicine if you're into that kind of thing. Let's just play with that real quick. Let's play with that real quick. I want to show you. Can we play? Let's show you what we got going over at prepperbroadcasting.com. Thanks to the guys over at Be Prepared Solutions too, by the way. Let's just pretend like we're doing that thing with Willow again, right?

Yeah, let's play. with that. So over here, you're going to see the PBN Archive search, right? Click your PBN archive search. That gives you the ability to ask the PBN archive any question you want, right? How do I make Willow Bark T? This is going to run through our transcripts. This is going to run through our episodes. This is going to run through everything that we've done. We've been doing this for 12, what, 2008, almost 20 years. We didn't do it to the extent that we do it now, but we've been doing it almost 20 years, guys. So this is not a

chat GPT answer. Okay, this is not a clawed answer. This is a answer direct from our transcribed podcast. Do you understand? You understand the value there? To make medicinal tea from Willow bark, you should prepare a decoction. There it is. This involves simmering the bark in water

for about 20 minutes, reducing the liquid by half. Unlike infusions for delicate plant parts, decoctions are used for tougher materials like bark. because their medicinal properties do not rely on volatile oils. Willow Bark contains salison, which is a natural precursor to aspirin. I was right. And can help with pain relief for headaches, muscle pain, arthritis, springs. You think it's easy to just get up here and remember all this stuff, man, live in front of everybody.

You know what I mean? It's not an easy thing. Every host that comes on here and does a live show, you should definitely appreciate them. So over at PBN, you search in, how do I make Willow Bark tea? herbal teas require specific preparation. Source 1, decoctions and infusions are different. This is from herbal medicine with the herbal prepper. This is an amazing show.

Herbal medicine for preppers, medicinal trees. Herbal medicine for preppers, survival gardens, and Medical Monday. Another great show there. And here they are, man. You can listen to the whole episodes if you like. You can click the excerpts if that's something you want, right? We can click source three. Well, let's click source two because it gives you this whole breakdown here.

And if that doesn't answer your question, you can go, boom, listen on PBN. It takes you right to the episode. Medicinal trees, dogwood, right? Awesome. You know what? This may be actually making a decoction. This one might be making a decoction from bark in general. Dogwood has the same effect.

Your dog would bark. But anyway, it's just a really cool resource over at prepperbroadcasting.com, guys. You can also get your Be Aware dashboard over here too and get your 20% off deal right here in the archive, right? Prepperbroadcasting.com, folks, listen, please do yourself a favor, man. I'm just telling you like it is. Do yourself a favor. Like, every day I hop on Instagram and cruise around and Facebook for a little bit, and I see the explosion. of people who are out there who are prepping and have legitimately good prepping ideas, but are completely out there to make a buck off of you.

There's no doubt about it. And I'm not saying we're out here as a charity. You know what I mean? We're the prepper broadcasting. But network is, like I said, at least a 15-year-old business. We've got to make money to stay in the world as well. But all I want you to understand is, like, the PBN archive search, this is bought and paid for by people before you. You know what I mean? This is bought and paid for by sponsors long before you.

Sorry about the camera. I'm going to get the book back. And I've got an AI powered camera and I'm using the tip of my toe to maneuver it back and forth. We got ads and we got products and we got memberships and supporter clubs. And we have all these different ways to monetize you. Right. We do. But what we also have is, like I said, 15 years of experts, guests, incredible hosts that truly care about preparedness. And you know what? It all comes from the fact that they've learned how to prepare themselves and their families because they truly believe two things.

Number one, life ain't easy. And it will get harder, right? And they believe that prepping makes your life better, which it does 100%. 100%. You know, my family lament some things about my level of preparedness. What they lament most is not the weird like gardens and the chickens and the rain barrels on the property. I have a great wife, though.

I forget that all the time. I'm always, you know, you spend so much time. If you marry the right person, you spend so much time with them, you forget. And it sucks. You know what I mean? And it's impossible. It's maybe not impossible. But you have to be real intentional if you marry the right person.

And they let you do the things you want to do and be the person you want to be. And I've been lucky enough to have that for 20 years as well. So what they lament most about me is my paranoia with people. My situational awareness, I should say, with people. You know what I mean? Everybody's a threat. Everything is what's going on. There's a car parked in a place they never park.

It's a problem. There's a guy standing out here with a big bag and he's just standing in a weird spot. I never see people standing. It's a problem. You know what I mean? And that really is the fundamental thing that wears on my family. Do you know what I mean? Oh, that in my ghost phone.

They're not big fans of my ghost phone because sometimes it doesn't do things as quickly or as easily as if I were tethered into Google's brain. But like I said, we all have to make our own decisions. You have to understand prepping for the most part makes everything wonderful. It looks so great up. It looks like the sky's about ready to open up any second. So yeah, man, tune in, tell the world, prepabroadcasting.com. We are normal people. We are largely Christian conservative people.

So what I need you to do out there if you're listening to that and you bristle a little bit, I need you to go like, say this with me. James may say things I don't agree with. Okay, you go ahead. Good. Now, my life will continue as will his. Go ahead, you say it. It's that simple.

That's it. I listen to people I don't agree with on politically, religiously, whatever, all the time. It's really very simple. They do this thing in their show or in their podcast or in their creative process that I love. And I listen to it. And I'm like, man, I love this. This is great. One person in particular, she just did a girl.

I'm going to give her a shout up because she's just, she's a struggling YouTuber. She goes by the name Lady of the Library. Okay. And she just did just an amazing breakdown on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The origins of the story, the deeper meanings of the story, just perfect. The timing, October, the breakdown, everything excellent, right? But she's clearly atheist and she's clearly politically left wing. And you know what happens?

Sometimes she says stuff that I go, oh, okay. I get it. And then she moves on. And I move on and go back to enjoying the video. That's it. It's that easy. You know what I mean? You don't have to report anybody.

You don't have to call anybody. You don't have to have your whole day ruined because somebody said something you don't agree with. You just move on. You don't have to make up some big world in your head where like if I support them, then that's supporting this and that support and support, support, support, support, support. And I just, you know, just calm the hell down. I'm going to, what is it, spit out the bones and keep the meat that old for that old saying. Like, really, we have to get over this because this is advice, all right?

This is advice because I've listened to people. and listen to people who are literally on the left side of politics, who are literally agnostic. You know what I mean? And I get great stuff from him. You know, years ago, before he, whatever his journey is, no one knows what the hell Russell Brand is up to. But years ago, I used to listen to Russell Brand because I liked some of the things he was saying.

And I hated a lot of the things he was saying. He was pushing for socialism and communism for a long, long time. He still is a little bit. But I still listen because he'd say some stuff, and I'd be like, oh, I like that. I like where his mind. I like how his brain is where. And then slowly he started to get like almost kind of conservative. Listen to people you like.

Go back to figuring out what you like about a person. You know what I mean? What they create is what's important. Do you know what I'm saying? Does this work anymore? I don't know if this works. I have no idea if this even works with people anymore. I assume some people are sort of.

so rooted. Everything has to go through a chinoa of political and social in order to make it to their feed that they wouldn't dare listen to somebody who might, you know, say something they don't like. You're missing out on the breadth of life. You really are. So all that said, let's get ugly and conservative. I'm just kidding. I do want to look at the news. I mean, we get look at that. We're doing a live stream, right? I figure if we're going to live stream and we're going to do this thing like, I don't know, for 50 minutes or something, if we're going to do this thing to eight different locations or six, seven different locations across the internet, then we might as well keep it going, baby. There's plenty to talk about. There's plenty to read on,

right? I'm over here at the Epic Times because I read the hard copy news, right? I really love reading the hard copy news. Oh, it's going to be a freaking newspaper. Oh, I probably got one coming to this weekend because it's going to be like a chilly weekend. You know what I mean? Like cold, rainy Saturday. It's going to be lovely. Cold, rainy Saturday. I cannot wait.

Truly. I cannot wait to cozy up. Coffee, candles, newspaper, reading the headlines, not reacting, just enjoying the reading. Yeah, it's going to be nice. What's Raytheon, 6.3 billion missile interceptor contract? Yeah, if you're an investor, invest in war and AI. I don't know what to tell you.

It's not really that crazy, you know what I mean? Of a thing to figure out. China sanctions another company owned by the Taiwanese. 27 Social Security Payment Boost announced four things to know. Yeah, it should be, they should boost at about 36%. What do you mean? 3.6%. Come on.

Take some of that, listen, take some of that damn tariff money and give it to the seniors who are, they're not living on the street yet, but they're getting there, dude. It's getting close. You know what I mean? Like, it's getting close. It's getting close. Bump that thing up. Instead of 3.6%, give them a 36% increase.

Give them a 30% increase. Give me a 20% increase. or, you know, descending increase from the amount of money they get currently and their assets and all that. The government knows exactly what retired people on Social Security own, how much money they make, how much they have in a bank, how many properties, how much they know everything. You got to tell them everything before you get a penny. Give them some more money, especially the poor seniors, for God's sake. You know, you got people who've worked their whole lives in this country. They're getting pennies.

it's terrible you look at what social security gives out to people who worked in this country their whole lives probably went to war for this country compared to what some doofous loser terrorist who walks into the country and goes I'm an asylum seeker oh yeah here's 2,200 a month

here's a cell phone here's a hotel room have a good time meanwhile people seniors are rolling pennies I'd love to eat today It's terrible, man. It's absolutely terrible. And the government will be like, well, find a food bank.

Oh, yeah, you go to a food bank. You work your whole life. Go to a food bank. Get in line like you're poor and go to a food bank. Even though we told you, we'll take your money and we'll give it back to you. We'll give it by the government. Unbelievable. We'll take your money and we'll hold it.

Well, we'll give it all back. It's going to be really great when you retire. We'll take care of you. Uh-huh. just remember that when you start putting money in these Trump accounts be very careful okay we're not going to put a penny in a Trump account but we'll take whatever it is they have in them whatever appreciates between now and the time the kids are old enough right but if you think i'm going to put a penny in a Trump account you're out of your mind that's a bonus fill those Trump accounts up

with money some some communo islamo fascistee president shows up and says you know what we need to take that money from the from the Trump accounts a repurpose it for, you know, whatever, Hillary Clinton's golden headstone. So, oh, brought it. Hey, you talk about this scene, you get me up, stat? When we get into the seniors, man. America needs permitting reform, E.J. Anthony. I love it.

You're 100% right. I'm tired of Victor Davis-Hanson saying everything Trump's done is a genius move. Victor Davis Hansen is a smart dude Everything he does Trump's brilliant this Trump's genius that I'm good man I'm good

Hey look Democratic Socialists of America image I used to use this image all the time As Democratic socialists grow in the U.S. A renewed focus on trips to China Huh? At what point do you realize I'm going to China as a democratic socialist of the United States, I think I'm on the wrong path.

The news is largely boring. How a vague provision of human trafficking laws threatening religious communities? That's too deep a story to get into right now. I can't do it. Judge orders Trump and men to reopen diversity visa lottery. Why? Why do we have to have a diversity visa lottery? Why?

We had people die because of the diversity visa lottery already in the country. Right? So, and why? Why does America have to do that? Why do we have to be a country that's like, let's just roll the dice with your life? We'll just roll the dice with your life, right? See who shows up. Hey, this guy looks diverse.

Let's bring him in. Roll the dice on a diversity library. What is it? Diversity Visa lottery. and realize that what you're going to bring in, there's a chance you're going to bring in someone who has hatred and fire in their soul for the idea of diversity. The very thing that could get them here,

they'll want to destroy. Ask the people in Dearborn if you don't believe me. All right, folks, I think I'm ready to roll. It's been great. It's been phenomenal. I'm going to show you one more thing real quick, okay? I'm going to show you one more thing, another great sponsor here.
