Who knows the quote? Who knows the quote? What awesome show is that from? show filled of devoutary really but you know layered in there

is a little taste of communism also interesting it's always there it's always in the corner in the dark corner there until it gets an opportunity $4.50

what can you buy with $4.50? Seriously Think about it I think you can get a Wobber Jr. 599 what can you buy for $4.50? Not much anymore.

But one of the things you can get is an issue of the Epic Times. $4.50. And this paper right here, man, I have been reading now. We're going on a year. I think I started in October of last year. October of last year I got my hands on the newspaper again. I used to read it, eating my cereal in the morning as a young man. You're not, you know, teens.

I'd read the Delco Times. And I don't know. You know, there's just, we all understand that we have to move. We've got to go back a little, right? We've gone too far forward. We've gone too far, period, with technology and with a lot of things in life. And for the human animal to really thrive, it certainly feels like we have to go back a little. And there are all these little things that you can do to sort of,

to take a step back and get a little more analog and a little less dizzle and a little more flesh and blood and a little less dialed and a little less dialed. And the newspaper is one such thing. The newspaper is one such thing. So we're going to read through the time today and that's what we're going to do. Enjoy our day. Drink our coffee and yaff about the news. I just got upward by the news. I'll try to keep it loud.

I know that I'm kind of far away from the microphone. But at the same time, you know, is what it is. One of the most interesting stories in the paper is the mind and body section, which I think I left in the house because I was reading the death. But it's a story about bandiline showing promise for cancer treatment. So the bandiline root in particular, the coffee tasting itch substitute, that we talk about here on TVM and have talked about on TVM many times. In fact, during Lent, which I failed, I gave up coffee.

How long did I go? Two weeks? I think I went two weeks without coffee. And towards the latter part, I was drinking chicory and dandelion. Which was pretty bad. But I think it was a pretty bad substitute for coffee. You know what I mean? It just wasn't the thing for coffee.

But drinking it anyway to sort of, you know, what really is interesting to me, folks, is when I think about dandelion, the properties of wild natural foods, the resistance to people learning about how to for wild natural foods and how to use wild natural foods and barks and roots for medicine,

it becomes sort of very clear that the pharmaceutical mafia is completely uninterested in you finding out cheap and effective ways to secure yourself. Painfully obvious. I was talking to someone this morning on a business consulting call. If you have a idea for a business or a business itself that you'd like to revamp and redo, something longer take to another level, a business idea you'd like to start, then reach out to me at prepabroadcasting.com by our contact form. And we could do, you know, an introductory call on the house and maybe schedule more, you know.

Maybe schedule more if you're interested and really, really sort of, you know, what I find a lot with people in business that or people who want to start business in particular is despite what you think about people in society today, they're mostly overqualified. you get to a certain age, you've done a certain amount of things you're most of it overqualified and the real struggle is figuring out

the vehicle for business that best sort of utilize with your skills and balance and shows off what you have done over all these years. It's not easy to do. But you can sort of turn it all into one big cyclical thing

if you know what you're doing and you know how to operate certain modalities. Podcasting, writing, social means, and newsletters, you know what I mean? All these different things kind of work hand in hand, not knowing the baseline of your business.

It's hard to sort of represent, but prepabroadcasting.com if you've got a business idea, and see Tom to Life, I can help you. And I'm very affordable. But Dandelion shows Promise for Cancer is a very interesting story to me because we were simultaneously

using artificial intelligence to try to solve cancer. Right? What a picture, huh? This is why the newspaper's right. Look at that beautiful picture. That thing was gorgeous. When an older woman with terminal leukemia

asked to be discharged from the hospital, her doctor assumed they would never see her again. Two weeks later, she walked in. Blood tests revealed that her cancer markers had dropped 50% leukemia. The only thing she had done differently was drink tea made from a common backyard weed, and that's, of course, a dandelion

room. Her hospital roommate, this is crazy. Her hospital roommate, hearing the story, began drinking the tea herself. Blood tests showed that her cancer markers dropped by 25%. One person having that experience might be a coincidence, two people getting the same

result as something else. Dr. Carolyn Ham, an oncologist who had been treating both patients, picked up the phone and called a biopanist. That's how this show starts. It's how the show starts. I mean, how this article kicks off. It's so plentiful. Right.

It's within, I'm sure it's within my grants, right? Maybe not. I see some common plan thing. But in this yard, there is undoubtedly some nice, healthy bandy land. I'm certain of it. It's just not, just not right here. But it's in my yard. It's in your yard.

It's in everyone's yard. Imagine the money could be lost if people start drinking dandelion tea in their cancer goes, especially if it's caught early state. Or even if it can just help people get off of the brutal nightmare that is what you call it? What do they do with the radiation? Yeah, the chemo, the radiation. For a long time, I had this idea about diets. Now, I was gifted with like a super metabolism, so I understand that.

but work out a lot too and what I came to realize was your diet I think is not as much about what you eat as it is about the foods you choose not to eat and I don't mean no sugar no fat you know that kind of thing I mean when your diet is bad and off balance it's not because you're eating cake and cooking

it's because when you eat cake and cookies, then you don't have the appetite for the medicine that is real food. In other words, you can't eat a lot of real food if you're filling up on fake food. I don't think the problem, it's just the way you have to look at it, you know? It's like you can only fill your stomach with so much. You can only make so much out of the food that you eat.

Eating healthy is not about not. not eating stuff that you like to eat, but you have to understand that eating only cookies and cakes and sweets and sugar and candy, processed foods and fast food, like now you're not getting access to all kinds of ingredients.

You're not getting access to the nutrients that vegetables of all varieties provide you with a differing of meats, fish, right? All these things. I eat fast food twice on the ride home for Prepar Camp and the next day it was like, wow, I regretted it. I regretted it for sure.

But an amazing story out of the epic times, you know, dandelion shows promise against cancer, but human trials are needed. But what an easy human trial, right? Instead of injecting people or, you know, having people take a pill and see what happens. Like, this human trial is, oh, you got cancer, drink this dandelion tea unless you have it happens.

watch that story very closely because that's something that should be everyone. It literally should be everyone. Here's why dandelion tea is in real big trouble. This is why it's in really big trouble, if you think that this story is going to get the headlines and the research is going to get put out in front of everyone, there's not only is that the

pharmaceutical mafia going to stand against it, right? We can't have people curing themselves with cancer with dandelion. That's insane. The other problem is I hear that artificial intelligence has come up with a cure for melanoma if I'm

right. And so that means that all of a sudden we have this story that is desperately needed by the AI the AI Skynet, right? Skynet needs good stories like this.

Skynet needs a story like this. So, bad because they have to get people back on the side of data centers. And that's not an easy thing, right? It's not an easy sell at the moment. We'll see. We'll see. It doesn't look good.

I'll tell you that. FBI director vows to annihilate scam compounds, scam compounds targeting Americans. This is a good one. The scams are out of control. They're everywhere. You can't stop. But at least the FBI's got their head in the right.

Dispute over transgender members rattles historic women's group. Daughters of the American Revolution and turmoil over males being admitted to the group. Why do men have to be admitted to the daughters of the American Republic? What is the motivation for a lunatic male to all of a sudden need to be... It's one thing that need to be a woman. And that's insane as is. But why... Why?

Now I have to join this all-female group. to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm like in a view. Nation A2. This is a story that's very interesting. I think that nuclear power is so underutilized. Fifth small nuclear reactor since June's voice for production

A2, the nation. I want to read that. You know we have over 90 active nuclear power plants in the country. You know what's amazing about them? You never hear anything about nothing. You hear nothing.

You know what I mean? They just do their, they just work. Like they literally, they just work. And the power that can be generated is insane. A2. Fits small nuclear reactor since June validated poised for production. Okalo Grove's isotope test reactor achieved criticality. The company plans to build them to order at and at scale perhaps by late 2020.

It's huge, man. Like, you may have your. qualms and you know in warfare maybe it's a problem with drone attacks or something like that maybe it could be in the worst of worst case scenario perhaps it could be a problem but we have the ability to just generate so much power by nuclear it'll make solar panels seem ridiculous you know what i mean unlike massive cement siloed utility scale reactors such as the westinghouse a2 thousand The droves reactor is a circular 1.2.5 foot diameter

nuclear generator that can be shipped by truck or rail planted in a 35 foot deep reinforced concrete cavity, making it a distinct entry in an expanding range of small portable reactors on the cusp of being retail ready. It's wild.

There's going to be a person in the near future who has their own nuclear reactor. That's crazy if you think about it. Right? Like, yeah, we live on this off-grid homestead and you know, 30, what is, 35, 35 feet below our home, we have a nuclear reactor that powers everything. We don't have solar, we don't have wind, we don't have, this thing will work forever. Crazy.

I like it, though. Authorized by President Donald Trump, 2020, by Nuclear Renaissance, Executive Orders that call for the license of 10 new reactors by 2030 and for dupling the nation's nuclear energy capacity by 2050. if you haven't noticed America America's energy dominance is the play and you shouldn't be happy about that

you know it could be someone else right it could literally be someone else China stirs disinformation in AI dominance race so this is the weird part man

this is the really weird part about the gray area everything is a gray area This is the weirdest part about the gray area with AI disinformation. China is putting out cartoons like we made by AI, which is hilarious, to talk about and to convince you that these things are happening, and AI is bad, and you should fight against it.

And, of course, there's some truth to that, right? some truth to them, but the reality is, like, they're doing this so that they can get the edge. And, you know, this is a screenshot of an English language comic strip generated by chat GPP that's suggesting that AI data center

construction driving of electricity cost for average U.S. households posted on X by a network of likely inauthentic accounts. We want the world to be black and white, but it's anything about it. You know? Hong Kong Titan screening of travelers to U.S. ahead of new

exit ban. Oh, they're not letting people leave. That's classic communism right there. Classic communism. Hong Kong no longer a free port. U.S.-Columbia, Costa Rica see 71 bales of cocaine. Damascus and Moscow reach your deal on military bases? Colonel Ryan Donald, Director of Public Affairs, Combined Forces Command, says the character of warfare has been changing. the United States and South Korea is the fucking major military drillings. I was talking to my father about China yesterday. What a

collapse. What a collapse it is becoming. China taxes offshore trusts, targets overseas well. I'm Donnie. The Sultan and the Chinese, they work the same, right? Communism. It's always the same thing. Go after that which is in mind

and give it to those who I do. being, you know, qualify. I was growing a little licento kale in a pot over here and some creature stole the entire plant

out of the dirt. I don't think I could ever say that that's happening. Triumph, the triumph of Winnie the Pooh, I don't know if we're going to get in. Oh, you know what? Real quick.

Let's take a look. I've got something to show you that you're really going to like get the producer. A producer. So my two business partners, Phil and Andrew, they had a layer to disaster coffee that I can't add and I don't add and I you know

it's as much as it is nice to delegate duties and you know separation of powers and all that kind of stuff um other people's input in your business can be valuable Andrew went on a tear and basically you know we did our entire website rebranded to some degree. We went ahead of rebranded all of our labels. They look really sweet. I just wanted to show you guys. A lot of times you don't even go over this website.

We should go over it more often because, you know, we have a great product from Disaster Coffee. But I'm just having a proud business owner moment, and I wanted to show you what's going on over at DisasterCoffy. So we've got our specialty blends, We've got our dark roast. We've got our medium use. We've got our single-use cups now.

Actually, I have single-use cups that I will sell and ship to you, okay, if you're interested. I can get them in your hands by next week. See the price here. I can get them to you for about that much with shipping. So if you're interested, reach out. I have a bunch of them, and I really got a cell. Let's look at the specialty coffees. We've got one that you need to know about.

are specialty coffees, as you can see, looking good. But the one that I wanted to show, these two on the left are new releases. The s'mores and the mammy's pecan pie. Both flavored coffees, if you're into that sort of thing. If you're not into that sort of thing, try it with a little heavy whipping cream. I find that's pretty good. But this guy right here, the black pumpkin. The back, black pumpkin, man, phenomenal.

It really is a good pumpkin spice cream. coffee. And before long, you know what I'm saying? Before long, it will be here. I want to show you some of these great labels, though, on our coffees. They're really awesome. I think the best way probably. So we've taken our more simplistic sort of coffee labeling, added a lot more detail. Look at that category six, huh? That category six label is sweet. one of my favorites is the great reset the civil unrest is nice too civil unrest is really cool Tanzania and the India

Robusta Civil unrest is a max caffeine blend okay that's what it is like it's maximum caffeine and it's real it is real man like it'll get you you got to be careful the common ground looks great look at the common ground

We got our topo mat. We got our crew around the fire, finding their common ground. Beautiful. Andrew, well done. This is one of my favorite things we have right now. This is another great one. I really love what he did with the Great Reset. The Great Reset looks so sweet, man.

Look at it. That is beautiful. So cool. And the coffee's amazing. Great Reset, like probably my second favorite part. tsunami is my number one all time. It's just my number one all time. This is what it is. It, uh, and it's a beautiful label too. Look at it. Color. Beautiful. It's, this Nicaraguan coffee is just the best for me personally.

We named it together my son and I, which is another reason I love. But really, like, when I drink tsunami, I drink a coffee, then it's better than just any coffee I ever have anywhere. Supply drop, the uprising. We got the founding fathers on the upwards. now. Look at that. Beautiful. Man, come on. Look at that thing. A free people are not only be armed, but discipline. Right there on the label. Beautiful. Franklin and Jefferson and Washington, man. Look at it. Awesome. The uprising is an amazing coffee. That is a, well, I don't even know that I know of a place where you can get a coffee like this, but the uprising is after it's roasted, it's aged

in whiskey barrels for 30 days. And when I saw that, I saw, oh my God, they got a coffee that's aged in whiskey barrels for 30 days. You know what? That's our Fourth of July coffee. That's our patriotic Fourth of July coffee. Get a happy. And that's

the deal, man. You know what I'm saying? So, folks, we have a weekend. The honest. And I implore you not to waste these weekends. Enjoy your life. You know what I mean? I really would recommend that you give a newspaper and try. Even if you just go pick up a local rag, it's probably worth sitting down and reading. The other thing you can get away with parents, parents listen up, this is a benefit, you know. When you read on your phone, you're just on your phone and everyone in your house sees that you're on your phone. And

like, oh, well, dad's on the phone. I guess I'll get on my phone. When you read a newspaper, you're reading a thing in the family season. And there's something, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. There's just something about dad reading a physical newspaper that adds some kind of a balance to the household. You know what I mean? It just sets some kind of tone. I get the same feeling when I'm working out back and the kids start to come outside and you're like, oh, they come out because I'm not doing stuff. You know what I mean?

And the dogs lay all outside and everyone seems to be more outside when parents are outside. Parents stay inside and lockdown and doing, you know, the isolation things. And everybody settles into this sort of isolated day. Now they're wrong with it. Like, you want to see an isolated day tomorrow. I might not even see the sun because I need a good ISO day. but I get the same sort of feeling when it comes to reading the newspaper on the couch, kitchen table, whatever, paper up. I don't make money from the Epic Times.

I'd love to be a writer for the Epic Times. I'm going to keep chipping away at them for that. But what I do know for sure, folks, is that there is something to this newspaper. In this modern age, there is something to opening up the newspaper. and being seen with the newspaper, being seen to be reading a physical piece of content, rather than simply, even though you can be reading the most important and valuable thing,

if you're just doing this like everyone else in the house, then everyone's just going to keep doing that. So read the newspaper, leave it around the house. You don't have to read the Epic Times, but it's the best newspaper there is by a long show, okay? And that's it for me, folks. Visit disaster coffee.com. Get yourself one of those new,

new beautifully branded labels. And I'll talk to you soon, folks. It's been a wonderful week. I hope you enjoy your week.
