All right, PBM family. The dust is officially settled. And the cool thing about the dust having settled is that we still got half a year almost. And when I say the dust is settled, I mean, I made it through some lofty things that I wanted to pull off that took a lot of my focus and attention. One of the biggest, of course, being Preper Camp. And now it's time to get back to the work. It's time to get back to the daily grind that I love so much. Monday. Here I am Monday, and, you know, if you think I'm joking when I tell you I love Monday,

I truly love Monday. I really love it. I mean, it's, I love it. I love getting in front of the computer and starting up the machine, praying to the machine God and starting up the machine. That is the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Today we have a fireside or recipe episode that I've played. I've played it a lot of times, guys.

You know, sometimes content is great. And I've come to the conclusion that, like, you know, maybe there is seasonal content on Prepar Broadcasting Network. Like, seriously, seasonal reruns just like any other network. Like, there may be seasonal content on PBN. That's like, okay, it's fall. It's time to play. Just like we do in the Fourth of July.

We play our Fourth of July special every Fourth of July. It's just season. seasonal content, the fire cider episode by Sam Kaufman from the Human Path, a man who I have to get back in contact with, a guy who really, I don't know, there's just something about the dude. I always love this show. It just should be played this time of year. You know, it's end of August, it's time. You got time to put together your fire cider. And we got hit a little bit with some allergies. I want to give a shout out to Maria Jones and her incredible tincture, okay? She, because the Joneses are, you know, just amazing people.

I mean, they're just amazing people. Description, amazing people. I don't know how else, I could sit down here and do a breakdown of, like, all the qualities, you know, but it just is what it is. So because they're amazing people, we're all suffering through prepper camp and all that kind of stuff. And Maria tells me to take one of these tinctures home that she's made. And, you know, my house, I know what's coming. You know what I mean? We all get...

I don't really get them, but I get them for like 30 seconds. But in the fall in Richmond, Virginia, it's pretty common to get seasonal allergies and that kind of thing. It's also the first week of school, and usually a cold or head cold comes home. Or it's probably like the second week of school now for my youngest and the first week for my oldest. But a head cold usually comes home along with that first. week of school. And I said, you know what, let me, I'll take the golden rod home, right? I'll take the golden rod home. And here's the proof in the pudding. Okay, I know I was talking about this with dandelion last week about the fact that the earth grows cures for things. I'm always talking about this fact that

we've forgotten so much the 150 year amnesia the 100 year amnesia all of the above this is a dead guy what's going on over here oh just driving through richmond and dead bodies i think he was working on his car so cleaning it out uh wasn't moving a lot you need some golden rod tincture from from maria's botanicals butanicals but anyway uh here's what i did maria you can you can scold me if you'd like so When I was, when my kids were little, I'd give them core ingredients all the time. And some they would like and some they wouldn't. But my oldest always loved just olive oil.

We would just take like little teaspoons of olive oil together. Because I used to just, when I was a chef, I was always tasting olive oils. I was always trying to find the most affordable and flavorful olive oils. Actually, there was a point where my whole kitchen window sill was covered in different olive oil bottles. That was a good look. Maybe I would do that again. him. But anyhow, like, another thing we do is taste different honeies together, you know. My youngest never really big fan of honey. My oldest, he always loved honey.

And when I heard about, I don't know, he was, I don't, it doesn't matter, the timeline doesn't matter. But there was a time when I learned about the value of eating local honey for your seasonal allergies, right? Like, eat the honey that comes from the bees that come from the, that get the pollen from the local flowers. I don't know if that's worked for me, and that's why I don't get seasonal allergies, but I've been eating a lot more honey right now. I've been eating a lot more...

I call it biblical foods. I don't know. I'm building the Aegis up. I'm building the armor up, and this is just another thing that I do. If you're interested in that sort of biblical foods concept, It's not too groundbreaking, right? It's really just a whole foods kind of diet,

but it's a lot of the foods that are mentioned in the Bible. Over at redbeaconmedia.com, go to the zealots page. Over at red beaconmedia.com, the zealots page and scroll all the way down, and I have a whole breakdown of sort of the biblical diet, you know? And, but honey for some reason, I don't know what it is. Honey for some reason, to me, just there's something special there, you know. there really is and uh i don't know maybe 2027 we'll start i think the kids are old enough now i think we're at the point where maybe we can have ourselves a little um hive you know what i mean

i've always wanted i mean i've always wanted to make my own honey made a lot of my own things in this life you know what i mean all the way down to like growing mushrooms from uh inoculated tree stumps never mess with honey so that could be in the future but frankly I gave my son a literally like I think I gave him 12 drops the

the bottle called for 20 drops golden rod tincture and I didn't know he's never had it you know what I mean so for me my thing is always like allergies we're not really allergic to things and I'm not talking about seasonal allergies I'm talking about close your throat

die allergies, right? So I said, you know what, let's give him to 10 drops, and then we'll go from there and see how it works. If there's results, no results, some results, whatever. I gave him 12 drops because, you know, he's bigger than me now. My son's taller than me now. So I said, let's give him 12 drops. If nothing crazy happens, we can always give him another 10.

And what I did is I took it. I put the 12 drops in a tablespoon, and then I filled a tablespoon the rest of the way with honey because, you know, I don't know if you've ever taken tinctures. They taste like medicine. You know what I mean? They don't taste like bubble gum. They taste like, you know what I mean? They're the tonic and they taste like medicine, and that's what they are. It worked immediately.

I mean, instantly, it was crazy. The whole day he was talking. He even took an allergy pill. Like early in the morning He was just like Let me just take an allergy pill I know he'll never take an allergy pill again now Because that worked so fast

And was so effective It was unbelievable So get your hands on some of Maria's tinctures, man Email Dave Jones Get that golden rod tincture All I can tell you, it works Okay, she makes another pearl tink It's not a pearl tincture

It's a pearl something cream For your eyes Works She gave me a a wild lettuce that works tincture for pain i don't have a lot of pain but i went through the thing with the finger and it it helped the thing with the finger man the finger is uh it's pretty much back to normal i got to go rescue my tire someone drug it all the way across the field and left it there and what's going to happen next i've seen this happen in years past what's going to happen next is

somebody's going to bring a truck down and take it to get it off the field for school not good so i got to go get that thing and wheel it back into hiding And I think I'm ready There's a little fear There's a little, you know, you know how it happened Like when you get injured from doing something How there's a little fear It's like, oh, it could happen again

And then I'm back to square one But it's got to happen We gotta get it done We gotta return back to form It's almost three months now, right? What was it, July 1st? It was right before July 4th Oh, so it's only been a month

In almost two months You know, I think we need a new political party In the United States I propose the Democrat Party. I propose we have a Democrat Party as a third party. Because it's very clear, that's the laugh line of the day. Ha ha ha.

Because it's very clear to me that the Democrat Party is dead and gone. It's gone. It's off the face of the earth. Doesn't exist. The Bill Clinton Democrat Party is gone. The Barack Obama Democrat Party is gone. I'm talking, you know, 2008. Gone. History. Wrap your head around that for a minute, right? Gone. It's hard to believe,

but it is what it is. We need you back, Democrats. We do. We do. All the time America's been crying about a third party. Here it is. It's here. The third party's here. It's the progressive communist party. They're here. The communists of America have arrived. It's the communist, it's the communo-Islamo party. You know what I mean? They've literally risen to power on making you feel bad. Feel bad for, you know, things you've never done. Feel bad for a certain group of people.

Feel bad for this. Feel bad for that. And if you don't feel bad enough, it's punishable by death. If you don't feel bad enough, then it's punishable by some lunatic. So yeah, where did Democrats go? That's what I want to know. Where'd they all go? Do you know what I mean?

Like 10 years ago, 15 years ago, there were Democrats. Did they all die off? Were they all like baby boomer age and are all dead? All the common sense Democrats are dead? Did they move to Libertarian Party? Did they vote for Trump and say we're doomed? I mean, because one of the core talking points of Democrats in the early years of my life was border security.

Border security was a thing under Clinton. It was a thing under Obama. It was a thing. Or at least it was part of his act in the beginning. And he brought about the big change. There's no doubt about it. But anyway, I'm opining for a return of the Democratic Party. Truly.

I'm going to put a link down below in the show description it's going to be a link to the Red Beacon 26 YouTube channel okay I want you guys to help me with the Floralegium you don't know what the Floralegium is it's a very

it's a 10 right now it's a 10 no 9 it's a nine sentence story at the moment and the way the story works is every subscriber I get on YouTube for the Red Beacon I'm going to write a sentence to the story

and it's a very interesting little tale about humanity underground, post-AI humanity, about 800 years in the future, and what lurks above? And do we bloom once again? Does humanity bloom out of this cave life once again? Because this is a cyclical thing that happens, it seems. You know, there are times that come where humans say, okay, there is no shelter above. sufficient, so we must head back into the caverns. Yeah, it's real. It's crazy. I think I learned it first from Sarah Hathaway, actually, when she was telling us about the lightning storms.

She said that the sun was so active at one point that it would just rain lightning on the world. And the Native Americans or the natives of South America, some native group had a word for it. And it was just that. The word meant raining lightning. And that's... It's fucking nuts, man.

Can you imagine? You know, everything's on fire. If we had that level of lightning, everything would be on fire. You know, everything's on fire and it's raining lightning. And you're going, uh... Step two. What do we do next? You know what I mean?

Wild. Wild would we humans have survived. And here we are trying to figure out how to survive, you know, $3.99 gas. You know what I mean? We could be using pickaxes to tunnel down into our backyards and trying to figure out how to raise food underground with no sunlight. It's crazy, man. But the floor legium, okay?

I'll put a link down below in the show. Check it out. subscribe, tell people to subscribe. There's just some shorts and some stuff. I'll post a show from PBN up there from time to time. As we get more interviews from Red Beacon Media, then those will go up as well. Yeah, the Grimdark Dispatch likely will be up there.

Just those kinds of things. You know what I mean? Have you heard the Grimdark Dispatch yet? You can go to Red Beacon Media.com and listen to it if you're interested. If you really want to take a load off of the nonsense, then you can go to red beaconmedia.com and listen to the first episode of the Grimdark Dispatch, which is my Warhammer podcast.

That's what it is. It's fun. It's all about fun, man. You know what I mean? There's no politics, very little angst. It's just talking about a hobby that is fun and gives me a bit of a break from the headlines and the Trump ad and Iran.

Iran war forever and what else? Apparently the Iranians want to assassinate Trump's son, right? The baron. The baron is to be assassinated next by Iran. As if the leadership wants, they do want it, though. That's a funny thing. I was going to say as if the leadership of Iran wants to be nuked, right? You take the most powerful man in the world with all the nukes and all the capability

and tell him you're going to kill his son. And then you remember that these are, what are they, the 12th something or other lunatic Muslims is what they are? The 12th Imam. Isn't that right? Yeah, the 12th Imam. They're ready to usher in the end times. They look at a nuke in Iran probably like the beginning of the nuclear volley

that brings about this apocalypse again they're all after anyway. You're not dealing with real people. You know what I mean? You're dealing with some form of mental gymnastics that's being attempted in the name of some religion. And the most extreme version of that religion, the most dangerous version of that religion, you know? I laughed.

I found it pretty interesting. It was a lot of talk going around about people in Trump's administration and the Republican Party who are in this similar Christian version of the ideology, right? Like everything's falling apart. Let's bring about the end time

so that Jesus will return. As if it's a button we push. You know what I mean? As if that's some kind of button that humanity could push. Oh, just burn everything down and then Jesus will show up. The second coming of

God in the flesh will return to the earth because we've screwed up so severely. No, I don't think that's how that works. Look, I'm not privy to the inner workings of the universe, but something tells me that Jesus' return is not incumbent on a little nuclear button that we press. No, I think we would probably wallow in our radiated filth for a while and then go, Oh, it didn't work. And I have to deal with that subsequently. Skycom PTT, folks.

I'm going to introduce you to a new radio today. Today, maybe not today, probably not today. I'm going to introduce you to a new radio very soon and a new radio company. And no, I did not come up with it. I did not figure it out. I don't know anything. I'm basically like an android or a droid of some kind who is just programmed by chin to buy this radio and use this radio. Okay.

That's what I do. But we're going to develop a relationship with Skycom PTT because what they created is a Preppers national network. Okay. What they created is the bones of an emergency comms group that I've been trying to. to start here for a long time, right? And we're going to utilize those bones. It's a Pock group, right? So it's a Pock group that gives us the ability to push to talk emergency. It's pushed to talk emergency comms on a giant prep or network that we can check in on on a regular basis. I'd like to do a month-to-month basis. I'd like to get back to the continuity and get back to the monthly

comms check-ins. But I want to get everyone outfitted with a couple ways to do that. I think that we should triumphantly plan. I know I've done this in the past and I apologize, but we should triumphantly plan to meet at the end of national preparedness month? Or should we try a weekly? A weekly comms check-in all through. Yeah, that's what we're going to do. We're going to do an end of week Sunday night comms check and it's very quick, simple. RSW fire out there.

If you're listening to me, I'm going to check my own Pocklink and see if I can access that radio net. We may be able to with our standard Pocklink radios. If we can't, then I'm going to introduce you to the Pock links that are available from skycom. dot PTT, okay?

And I got my hands on one. I got my hands on the one that Chin wanted me to get my hands on, which was the Pocklink radio with GMRS combo. Okay, the Pocklink GMRS combo. I think if you know even a little bit about radios, you understand why, okay? my my gear my equipment now is based around largely around GMRS you know what I mean we have some we have some mesh my my true passion and what I really like most with emergency comms is the Pocklink I really do I mean I I well here's the thing

when was the last time all the cell phones were down You know what I mean? I know we're all worried about that one big, terrible event, right? Where things go completely south and everything falls apart. And you should be prepared for that too, you know? And maybe that's what mesh-tastic is all about. That's definitely what GMRS is about. But all that said, like, for situations where you want to get a hold of somebody quickly.

And those Pocklink radios, man, they're hard to beat. You know what I mean? Those Pock links that use a variety of cellular service providers. So it's not just one. It's not like my Pock uses Sprint. Like Pock Link technology bounces around on all providers. Right. So in other words, you wake up.

Like your kid had a sleepover. You wake up and find. Here's a situation that could actually happen. Your kids in college or had a sleep. your wife's traveling, whatever the situation is, you're traveling. You get in a situation where you wake up and realize my cell phone carrier has been hacked. How likely do you think this is to happen, right? My primary cell phone carrier has been hacked.

Now, I cannot reach my family member that I need to reach. Well, the combat for that and the thing that I like most about the Pock Link is, it goes from oh my god what do i do and what do they do to a push button solution right a push button solution where you can go okay hey i think the phones are messed up yeah my phone's not working either okay well no worries get back to me if anything changes or if anything gets crazy and it's you just you know it's like a walkie-talkie push button you're talking to them so more on that to come more on national preparedness month to come because that's a big one. We'll definitely be running Dave Jones' incredible index of tips.

I'll throw some of my tips in there, too. Our old prepper tips of the day, they're about two to three minutes long at the most, and that's the month to run them. All right, folks, knocking out an audio podcast for your first thing this morning. I may hop on tonight for a live stream tonight. But today, this is basically what you're going to get out of me beyond Red Beacon Daily News. Okay. I do have plans to record the second episode of the Grim Dark Dispatch today.

But that's a lot of talking. We'll have to see how it all works. Big Day. Hope you're loving Monday as much as me, folks. Talk to you soon. It's James Welton with the Prepper Broadcasting Network.
