PBM family, how have you been enjoying the Relentless Prepper Broadcasting Network? I was quiet last week kicking off the new Red Beacon Daily News. I hope you're enjoying that. It is, well, it's, you know, daily news. I don't know. Hope you like it. Hope you've tuned in. Hope you've had time.

We have an incredible day for you today at PBN. Medicinal Mushrooms for Medical Monday. Enjoy that one. It's getting around that time. We get some more rain around this country. It would be all right. The data centers quit sucking up all the moisture. And maybe we can get some chantrails popping out of the ground.

You know, it's just funny because I had a conversation with the Phoenix the other day about turkey tails and mud the mushroom. And it spurred in me the old podcast that I heard from Judson Carroll back in January on medicinal mushrooms. And, you know, what an important topic that is. Ancient medicine. ancient medicine mushrooms are. So we're often running with that here in the

here in the Socialist Republic of Virginia I'm behind enemy lines. The Socialist Republic of Richmond actually more like it. But Virginia in and of itself is under attack. Although, you know, it's just a battle. It's a battle is what it is. Watch the state of Virginia. That's all I can tell you.

Watch the gun rulings. Watch it all because it is, it is a legitimate battle. It's a microcosm for the United States of America. It's something worth paying attention to. Chantilly, Virginia just struck down. With the help of the pro-second amendment groups, the civil...

What is it? Civil? Oh, man, I got a... Civil... I don't know. Can't think of it. But with the help of the pro-second amendment groups here in Virginia, Shantilly, Virginia just struck down a ruling that made it illegal to carry any kind of weapons on city and state property, that kind of silly, you know, gun-free zone nonsense.

You know, all the violence goes away in a gun-free zone type of thing. The mother of mayhem is in hot water here in Virginia. You know, instead of allowing ice to deport some race, from another nation, South America, I think, or Mexico, I don't know. This guy was detained on charges and then let go, only to resurface as they do, right? To resurface having assaulted some woman in the stairwell of a parking garage. Beautiful, wonderful.

Liberalism at its best, right? The mother of mayhem is hard at work. We haven't done a show in a while, but we'll get back to it. Don't worry. All of our episodes, all of our video episodes of The Mother of Mayhem on YouTube are deleted. So you'll have to go check them out on Rumble. But we have a great series that is really, you know, sort of catalogued Abigail's efforts since she stepped into office. And I've had many conversations with many different people all about this idea that we're not going to cooperate with ICE.

It's fine. I mean, you could do what you want. You won the election. maybe, but there will be repercussions. And it's not just repercussions for the poor lady who was assaulted

by the guy who was a convicted rapist who could have been deported from this country if ICE were allowed to do their job in Virginia. No, there'll be repercussions for Abigail, too. You know, you can only push people so hard for so long. You try to cram a

gerrymandering sort of eternal Democrat rule down down a purpleish state, right? And down a purplish state's throat. And, you know, you're going to have people that get upset. You try to cram a gun ban down the people's throats also assuming, I'm making a radical and stupid assumption that only gun owners are conservatives and only gun owners are responsible for gun violence, right?

Two, critical errors. Like, critical errors, right? limit guns, assault weapons, whatever that is, a catch-off or whatever guns you don't like that morning, limit those guns, and then the gun violence will go down. Because all the criminals buy their guns at gun shows in Palmetto State Armory. So, I don't know, I'm giving you the temperature of things right now. I'm free basing. I'm free basing freedom right now, okay?

That's what I'm doing. Because I've been in the rigors of sort of the daily news outline. I didn't even do a Surviving America last week. I just released on our Rumble and in the element chat a video of Preper Camp, 2026, the new location. I went and toured it, videoed it, recorded some podcast clips on it, and just did a full release of the video. So go check it out over at Rumble.

It's pretty awesome. amazing place. It really is an amazing place. I mean, hard to really believe. I don't know. It's such a night and day thing. I mean, it'll be so much to do for people. At Prepper Camp 2026, it's going to be a great time. Prepercamp.com, get your tickets if you know what's good for you. And what else? We are, we're going to push off the comms and the continuity tonight. All right? We're going to push that. off tonight and move it two weeks from now because I didn't get you your intel on our mission therefore you cannot complete your mission so we're going to take some more time to do it right and and we'll come together over our comms network we will fold in the element members room

as part of our comms check in as well so we can expand on that I think that's a good way to expand that group not to say that it's your number one emergency emergency comms option, but you never know. Whatever works when you need it to work, right? Whatever options you have as options are going to be something. I'll talk more about that in the days and weeks to come, but suffice it to say this Monday night we will not meet as the continuity or for our comms check-in.

We will meet not next Monday because I'll actually be on vacation, but the following Monday we will meet. And do our second PockLink check-in. I'd highly recommend you get a Pock Link radio. with Wi-Fi. I think they're incredible radios. Dave Jones and I have tested them extensively. We have not tested the Wi-Fi capability, and that's the next step for me. But we're getting there. We're getting there on a lot of things. You know, it's PBN, man. I can only tell you so much because the hosts take things where they want to take things is beautiful.

It's a beautiful thing, to be honest. I imagine once we get back, I don't know. I don't know. There's big homestead news. We've got some tree work happening in the coming weeks, which is going to change things for me in a big way. We've got over the years now, we've had our backyard shaded out. And this is a prep that you don't think about a lot, but it happens. And it happens over time. And before you know it, it's like, oh, I got problems.

You know, we've had one of our, you know, largest growing areas, shade basically shaded out largely a very small little slice of heaven where I'm growing food and stuff right now but thank God for the perennials like I always tell you about the perennials right thank God for those thank God for the fruit producing pawpaws the raspberries the things that come back every year the sun chokes out front that um you know they're accustomed to the environment right that's why you plan them that's why they come back every year but the annuals you You know, we're leaning on other people for the annuals pretty heavily this year because, well, at least at this point. Because really last year, it kind of was a problem.

The year before even, it was kind of like, oh, this is getting bad. But now we have this giant tree in the backyard and a couple overgrown crepe myrtles that they're just, they're killing me. That's all there is to it. You know what I mean? They're killing me. They're killing the amount of sun that I get in the areas that I have grown every year. successfully great gardens year over year and I'm just not getting the sun that I need

so we got to bite the bullet and spend the money and get big trees taken down but what comes to mind is I mean that's all good and wonderful in this day and age but what happens when you don't have a guy who can climb a tree and cut it down for you

you know it's one thing to drop a tree in the middle of the forest whatever right drop a tree with a with a chainsaw you see people doing it all the time it's another thing entirely when your your main home right your main your domicile your survival headquarters is sitting underneath a giant tree and you're like well if i smash this tree through the house not only will the tree be a problem but i don't have i can't call an expert in to fix the roof i can't call a guy in to fix the siding i can't call right So getting those big trees removed from around your home might be a thing.

I mean, it's definitely a prep. There's no denying that. It's something that we should talk about as preppers. And even beyond getting the big trees removed, understanding that, oh, I got all these nice little trees, like the crepe myrtles. If I had known, if I had had any experience whatsoever in tree management, five to eight years ago, those crepe mertles, they were manageable. You know what I mean? These were trees that I could manage on my own. Now they're 25, 30 feet tall on power lines. It's a whole different ballgame now.

So fast forward, you know, look at your layout, look at the trees that are growing around you. And, you know, fast forward a little bit and see, like, what's that going to look like soon? Is that going to be a problem? Because there's a good chance it will be. you know what else pbn family i think that might be it for me i don't want to go on and on we still have you know the united states and iran holding the american citizen at gunpoint with the gas price who knows where that's going to go you know we give a little we get a little in terms of a deal and in terms of warfare it seems like but what really bothers me about the whole thing is it's

you and I who are held accountable. We're the ones that got to deal with it, right? We got plans. Everybody's got summer plans. They want to go somewhere to do something and they're looking at $4 or $5 a gallon gas. Bad enough, everything costs extra. You know the whole thing, right? You know the whole thing. All I can tell you is, you know, the more you can do for you, the better. The more you can do for you, the better. The more you can learn to live without, the better. I don't know. A minimalist and simplistic lifestyle really does seem to be the thing. I can't, I mean, I just, I simply cannot promote thrift shopping, Facebook marketplace, Craig's List, buy nothing. I cannot implore you enough to do these things.

Like, it's a different world. It's a world where you can save insane money. And if you have the desire, you can make money. Right? If you have the desire to get into resale and things like that, you can make money. That's your call. Local farmers markets, it really is a time to consider things like fishing, hunting, foraging. Look to the minority communities, particularly the people from South America and other parts of the world. Because these guys fish, man.

they do it right. I talk to some Libyan guys and they, man, they go fish from coolers and but I've known people, you know, in South American communities and they go and they gather. You know what I mean? And they bring it home and they eat it and there's something to that. There's something to bringing that back to life. Now, it's scary to say it out loud because you think, well, if everybody does it, then we're going to have problems. But what I've learned over the years is everybody's not going to do it. When I do a show, I know I'm speaking to a lot of people, but I know there's only so many people who are actually going to do the things that I say.

Follow the path that I'm on, right? Maybe until necessity comes, right? Maybe to the point where it's like, there's nothing left to eat. I have to get some fish. But if you want to live well and stay above board, man, there are things that you can do despite the economic situation, despite the war, the gas price, the whole nine yards, you know. But all that said, entrepreneurship is a survival imperative.

And it's not this, no matter how bad situation seems, I mean, I'm sitting in a parking lot right now on a Monday morning and I don't know. Hundreds of cars here in Richmond, Virginia, packed, pulling in, shopping, eating the whole nine yards. Can't be but so bad. Can't be but so bad out there, right? People got money. I don't know if they got my money and your money, but they got money to spend. So, I want you to enjoy your week, folks, and your summer. Make some plans, do some fishing, get out, enjoy the world, see the sky.

You know what I mean? Listen to the Prepper Broadcasting Network. There's nothing like PBN out there. We are absolutely relentless right now. We just added the daily show. I mean, it's it. Spread the word. Spread the word.

I'll talk to you soon.
