The Prepper Broadcasting Network - NO: A Reason to Prep on I AM Liberty

Episode Date: May 9, 2024

https://linktr.ee/pbnlinks

You're listening to PBM. You're playing back the stability. What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God. I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty, or give me death.

Ah, Patrick Henry and metal. Mmm. It's a good start. Good start to any evening. Welcome in, TBN family. It's a good start. Good start to any evening. Welcome in, TBN family. It's the I Am Liberty show. The stalwart here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network now. Not that the next generation is gone.

It's the gunmetal armory and The High M. Liberty Show. What else? These are the old classics now. I'm still reeling, so I'm going to try to drink a lot tonight, keep myself from hacking on the air. The members piece for today, which I probably will put up tomorrow, was about attributes and skills. And I apologize because I was driving and the coughing got the best of me at some points. It is what it is, you know.

I feel better today than I have in a while I worked out twice today And I feel great I feel like maybe tomorrow I'll wake up Not sound like I spent the whole night at a rave Oh, welcoming everyone, it's James from ABN I don't know why I turned like Winston Churchill there, but... So tonight on the I Am Liberty show... Why do I sound so weird in my headphones?

Tonight on the I Am Liberty show, the overarching concept is I want to talk about no. Okay? The overarching concept is the idea of no and prepping for no. And that's because there's so much out of whack. There's so much silliness in our world today that we cannot forget.

Without our ability to say no, we have no freedom. And when you look at the many movements that have taken hold in our nation, the most devious of them are sure

that you will have no ability to say no. Thank you. Sorry. No ability to say no. Bang it. Sorry. They want to make sure you have no ability to say no, right? White people are bad. No.

Well, then I guess you're racist. You've got to be able to hang on to that no, PBN family, because the cultural side of things are just the beginning. That's next to nothing. Why am I looking at a picture of Marjorie Taylor Greene on the Drudge Report holding an AR-15? But they have a picture of her in like a leather jacket holding a short-barreled rifle or a pistol. And Green moves to oust Speaker Johnson. Now, why would you take that headline and put a picture of someone with a gun in their hands? Green moves to oust Speaker Johnson. She's coming for the speaker with her ar-15 i told you those republicans

schumer to revive border deal to challenge republicans oh that's great uh i don't know if i you, I just want to get around tonight. I just want to get around tonight. The licentious headlines are brutal. I don't even feel like getting into them. It's, I don't know. Nearly a third of Americans in constant pain. What's that even mean? What does that mean? What do you mean in constant pain? I don't even think a person can survive in constant pain. So prepping does a number of things for you, right? There's a number of things that it does for you. It removes anxiety. It fortifies yourself as a person. It gives you a base from which you can live a life where you can be you. And that fundamentally has been my experience with preparedness, right?

It's led me into this life where I can actually be me. And it's getting harder and harder to be you All the time Because everybody's kind of holding fast To whatever doctrine they have They're holding as tight as possible Cannot let it go Right? But when you're prepared

When you have a base level preparedness Then you can weather the storms You can tell people to piss off. You can quit your job. You know what I mean? You're not in this situation where it's like, if I make one mistake, then I fall off the high wire and it's over.

You know? And it's a shame because, it's really a shame because, it's really a shame because my generation largely was the first or maybe the second that was lied to and told like, just go to college. Everything will be fine. You know what I mean? And I don't think it was, it definitely wasn't malicious. It was just what parents saw. They saw people who went to college and they said,

oh, well, they make a lot of money and live a good life. It's nice. You need to do good in school and go to college. And I was thinking about that today. Microaggressions, traumas, all the safe rooms, all that kind of stuff in college. traumas all the safe rooms all that kind of stuff in college what popped into my mind because when i was in college it wasn't the college at least that i went to wasn't as indoctrinated

it would it didn't seem like a place that was against me in every way. You know, if I were to go back in time, 18-year-old me, step into a college with the kind of mindset that I have now, I'd be me against the world, you know? And I started thinking about terrible things that can happen to a person through their college years, you know, like being completely and totally distraught over a war happening all the way across the world that you know very little about. So much so, so distraught that you go out with a bunch of your buddies and buy all the same tents and hang out in a dirty park in New York. I started thinking

about the types of traumas that you can experience. Not like, not like a group of angry people calling for the death of your kind on campus and you trapped in a library like some Jewish people have dealt with. Nothing like that. That's not real trauma. That's not real trauma, you see. Not in the eyes of the mainstream media or the academics.

But all kidding aside, I started thinking, you know, imagine you paid $100,000 to get a degree. And your time at the college was best for you to keep quiet. You were basically amongst a group of people that decided that you weren't allowed to bring up your point of view, so you just stayed quiet. You never gave your opinions. You never raised your voice. And you were held up in a college for four years or more where that was your deal. Just shut up and give us your money. Don't tell us your opinions. We'll throw you out.

We don't want your right-wing opinions in our college. I don't know. I was thinking about that and how crazy that must have been for some people. To arrive upon graduation with the type of debt that a lot of kids have and look back on their school and school time in school and just say you know i was completely outnumbered and silenced there and i paid for it or my parents paid for it whatever gross so when you have some things like that boiling just under the surface you have people in the

world who have proven through COVID and the like that they like people to do what the hell they tell them. You know, they really like this idea of you do what I say. Put your mask on. Get in line. Make sure you're six feet apart, damn it. Right? They like to tell you who you can and cannot worship, what you can and cannot favor, right? All that kind of stuff. And it's gotten so out of hand now that they even question their own existence and the existence of things like gender and all of that. We've reached a point where we're so shallow and so bored because we're so petrified.

The coming generation, I do believe, is petrified of taking on the challenges of real life. You know what I mean? And they're so petrified of that that they'd rather stay on campus and fight about what a girl is. And they're so petrified of that that they'd rather stay on campus and fight about what a girl is. You know, and that'd be way better use of my time than actually admitting to myself that I need to get my shit in gear and get prepared for what could be a very hard life. Because I got news for you. A lot of people live very hard lives with and without college degrees. You think that if you get a good job, life is good to go?

I was listening to Tim Ferriss. Pardon me. On the Chris Williams podcast. Might have to put the cough button in play here. I was listening to Tim Ferriss on the Chris Williams podcast. Modern Wisdom. And for those of you who don't know, Tim Ferriss was a guy who wrote a book called The 4-Hour Workweek.

He was big on a bunch of routines and systems and money-making systems and lifestyle systems and psychedelics, that kind of stuff. Kind of a guy who was like, this guy has it all micromanaged and has it all down and is good to go. And one of the things that he did in that podcast that was crazy is he said, you know, one of the things I'd like to do in life is to get married and have children. And I'm single. So ladies, if you're out there And he did sort of like a cringe Bark at the moon for the ladies listening to the podcast And I started thinking to myself

With all the accolades that a man can have Or a woman, this day and age With all the money that can be made With all the success that can be had It can make a part of your life great. But, you know, to live a great life, everything's got to be firing on all cylinders, you know. I bring up Tim Ferriss because he's a guy who has, in my mind and the way I learned about him, has always focused on maximizing, you know, himself, his efforts, his life,

the challenges to his life, and that kind of stuff. What is required of us now and what will be required of us tomorrow and into the future is our ability to tell the idiots no, okay? is our ability to tell the idiots no. Okay? I've got a situation here in Richmond, Virginia right now. I'm not the only one that has this situation. But we're going to use it as an example because it's a great one.

It's that time of the year again where our state government sends us out personal property taxes for our vehicles. And they send these personal property taxes out. And you usually look at the bill and go like, really? God almighty. Last year I got the bill and I looked at it and I said, oh, I guess I'm going to have to take a loan out to pay this personal property tax bill. It's so insane. I mean, outrageous, you know. bill. It's so insane. I mean, outrageous, you know. They valued my car last year at like two, probably close to $3,000 more than it's worth.

Well, two or $3,000 more than it was worth brand new, right? This year, and this happens to everyone in the city, this year, and this happens to everyone in the city, this year, somehow, now, everything that I know about vehicles is as follows, they depreciate the moment they drive off the lot, right, this year, my car has actually gone up in value by another thousand dollars. So you've got one or you've got two choices, right? One is to pay the bill and say, OK, well, you know. That's nine hundred some dollars out of my pocket. Terrible.

For what? They tell you all the taxes, they go to the kids, The taxes, they go to feeding the hungry, and they go to fixing the roads. I tell you, the roads. And you go, okay, well, kids can't read, and the roads are broke. So, Mr. Mayor, where's the money go for real? so mr maya where's the money go for real so in that moment you have to learn how learn what your no is and you have to figure out how to execute on no right and there's a bunch of people who are you know going to take steps to make sure that a majority of people who are being overcharged and overtaxed for their vehicles take action against the state. I mean, that's against the

city, rather, so that they don't have to pay this insane bill. This is one example of the importance of your no within your community, you know? It happens at school. Okay, I'll give you another great example of your no. And this is an example of how preparedness can help it. Because the no goes to the superficial all the way down to the darkest of scenarios, right? I told this story, but I'll tell it again quickly. My youngest son, school had planned two Fridays ago, had planned a validation parade.

My wife and I, we didn't know. We had no idea what a validation parade was. Truth of the matter is, no kid going to it knew what a validation parade was. Truth of the matter is, no kid going to it knew what a validation parade was, and no kid coming from it still understands what a validation parade is. In fact, I don't know if anybody who has put on a validation parade knows what it is. We thought it was something having to do with the school, right? Because of the nature of the school. I look it up and I see that it is exactly what you think it is, right?

Validating yourself. And I said, no. My mom said, you know, they're just teaching them how to protest, Jim. That's all it is. They're just teaching them how to protest, Jim. That's all it is. They're just teaching them how to protest. I said, nah, I think we'll go look at samurai armor at the museum. We'll take the day off. We'll do a family field trip. I set aside some field trips every year that I take them on.

Real cool stuff. You know what I mean? Stuff that we do together. Take Friday off or whatever and go have a field trip. Field trips ain't what they used to be, man. At least from what I see. Because I lived the life that I live and I chose the career that I chose, I was able to say, no.

My kid's not going to your stupid validation parade. For what? To validate that everyone hates him for being a white kid? Like, what are we doing? To validate that he's a boy? He knows he's a boy. He doesn't need a validation party. To talk about his feelings on being a little boy. You know what I mean?

Now, these two things might seem superficial. But you see, you have to craft and polish and work on your no. You have to get good at no. Because there likely will come a time when you have to say no to something that is a make or break. Could be a life or death. Right?

Like, maybe they one day come up to you and say, hey, in order for you to come back to work, you have to get vaccinated by an experimental vaccine. And in that moment, you might have to decide, is it time for me to whip out that no? Is it time for me to use the no? Or it could be much worse. or it could be much worse.

So one of the reasons that we prepare PBN family is so that we have something to fall back on if the no has consequences, right? Because sometimes the no's can have tremendous consequences. Sometimes your no might be, I'm going to break into this guy's house and steal everything in his downstairs that's of any value. No.

No, you're not going to do that to me. But that no might have consequences, right? So I want to talk about no i want to talk about prepping for no and uh whatever else comes up okay let's knock out a couple commercials we'll get back to the i am liberty show talk to you soon pbn family don't go anywhere who wants free ammo our new sponsor ammo squared.com is a truly automated set it and forgetit ammo purchasing program.

Casting network. Newer path. Act as stability. KCTV CBS 5. No, I'm not doing radio call-outs. These are just ordinary people. More Kansas Citians embracing the prepper way of life researchers found since 2017 the number of preppers in america has doubled to 20 million and up to a quarter of them are people of color how why does that matter more americans are identifying as preppers and they're not just

disaster obsessed people cory hubbard and his team defcon underground have been building underground bunkers for the past seven years quote a lot of people just have this feeling that things are getting worse and eventually something's going to happen uh it's pretty interesting prepper goes 20 million since 2017 they go on to talk about the it's sort of the run-of-the-mill prepper news article where they highlight a couple businesses doing things in the prepper space. Hubbard said inquiries for his underground bunkers skyrocketed in 2022. Yeah, we know when Putin came out and said, you'll see something we've never seen in history. That was like an Arabian Putin.

I don't know what happened there. George Holt, who is black, is the co-owner of Riverside Survival in North. That's what the article, that's exactly how the article is worded. I don't understand. What does that have to do with anything? George Holt, comma, who is black, comma, is the co-owner of Riverside Survival in Northmore, Missouri. Holt has been prepping for 12 years.

His store has supplies you wouldn't find in most, including dehydrated food. I mean, yeah, this is a great thing. To me, it's a great thing. I don't know. A lot of people can get upset about it. Talk about people are more paranoid and, you know, they're bringing the apocalypse to life.

I don't really think that's it. I don't. I don't think that's it. I think it is people are looking out onto the world and using the tools they have at hand and just saying to themselves, you know, I want to be ready. And of course, there's that big dirty secret about prepping that life is way cooler as a prepper than not. You know, like it's way cooler to spend time shooting guns than shooting golf balls, right?

It's way cooler to talk to your friends on ham radio or meshtastic text than it is to, I don't know, what other people do. I'm leafing through a book at the moment. Oh, it's an old book. You may have heard of it. It goes way back. This one's a very interesting one because I haven't touched it in a while. I have several iterations. And it's one of my faves, man. It's one of my faves. Now, I have the entire section here. I have the whole chapter of Ecclesiastes

with a pink highlighter strip on it, right where it begins. Because in the Bible, Ecclesiastes is by far my favorite. It really is. It's by far my favorite. It really is. It's by far my favorite. Vanity of vanity, saith the preacher, vanity of vanity, all is vanity.

What remaineth unto man in all his travail? Which he suffereth under the sun. You know, when you read Ecclesiastes, you know that Shakespeare read Ecclesiastes when he wrote Hamlet. You can read it right in the first sections. All the rivers go into the sea, yet the sea is not full, for the rivers go unto the place whence they return and go. All things are full of labor, man cannot utter it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing or the ear filled with

hearing how could it be so all those years ago i mean when you look at the world today and you see the kids on the cell phones and you see the the people on pornography and you say to yourself this is a new problem right we have crossed the threshold here we have reached a point in american or uh in the world Where humanity is in big trouble Because they've never faced anything like this before All things are full of labor Man cannot utter it

The eye is not satisfied with seeing Nor the ear filled with hearing What is it that hath been That that shall be And what is it that hath been that that shall be and what is it that hath been done that which shall be done and there is no new thing under the sun is there anything whereof one may say

behold this is it, it is new it hath been already in the old time that was before us. There is no memory of the former, neither shall there be remembrance of the latter. It's so wild, man. In a time where everyone is searching for meaning, you know, you look You look at the pages of this book. I go to Jeremiah to talk about how different we aren't. More water. More water or the coughing begins. I go to Jeremiah 5.7. No. Jeremiah 5, 7.

No. Jeremiah 5, 8. They rose up in the morning like fed horses, for every man neighed after his neighbor's wife. Hmm? How should I spare thee for this? Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that there are no gods, The harlot's house is just in your pocket now Right? That's Jeremiah 5-7 How should i spare thee for this thy children have forsaken me and sworn by them that there are no gods like you walking around like this atheism

thing this new atheism thing is wild man we got to get this under control. Jeremiah was already talking about it. They rose up in the morning like fed horses for every man made after his neighbor's wife. And of course, the Lord strikes fear into your heart, makes you all wonder, right? All of us wonder and worry. Shall I not visit for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? Climb upon their walls and destroy them, but make not a full end.

Take away their battlements, for they are not the Lord's. When I read the Bible, PBN family, I'm just always reminded that the challenges that we face are the challenges that we always face. That there's nothing new under the sun, right? That this book right here is literally designed for you to be like, oh, That this book right here is literally designed for you to be like, oh, I see. We've been here before. We've been here before. Yeah, that's it.

And, if you're a Christian, or if you want to be Christian, or if you're par for the course, or if you read the Bible and wear a cross, or, you know, whatever. If you're nice to people, and you like that thing, and you like Jesus, whatever. You the only thing that will stand between you and persecution is no. Right? And that might not even work. I mean, Jesus said it himself. It's coming. But that might not even work. But we have to secure our ability to say no.

And we have to use it. Right? I mean, this is what's gotten us to this point. But we have to secure our ability to say no, and we have to use it, right? I mean, this is what's gotten us to this point. It's not—see, silence is agreement. You get that, right? In order to stay—this is a problem with the Republicans. In order to stay quiet, in order to keep things calm, we've opted for silence over agreeing, right? It's at the time for no has come. And it's the little things all the way to the biggest things. When you hear people shouting from the river to the sea, that's where no goes,

right? When your teacher tells you that she thinks your son might be a girl, that's when no comes, and maybe some consequences beyond no. You understand? We prepare a number of things from self-defense all the way down to food storage so that we can maintain control of our no. You know what's a really good way to make people say yes to whatever you want? Is to scare them to death and take away their resources. If they can scare you to death and take away your resources, you know, like not letting you go to work. Well, then all of a sudden you have to say yes. Yes, please, Fauci, whatever you say.

Whatever you have to say just so I can get back to work, right? Yes, sir. Oh, what, the bird flu? Yes, sure, I'll stay home for that too. Only one person in America has been affected? Okay, don't worry. If it's two people, we'll shut the whole country down again, even though the guy got basically pink eye like i had look i'm not saying that that's something bad may not happen with h5n1

in humans but you're being cornered pbn family you're being cornered on a day-to-day basis by people who want you scared. And they want you scared, and they want you to believe that they have the answers so that you can forfeit your ability to say no. You see, that's what's important to them. Right? You'll own nothing and love it. You'll own nothing and love it. You'll have no meaning, and you'll own nothing and love it. You'll have no meaning and you'll own nothing. Where's the meaning come from?

Why are we standing out in groups of people hollering things we don't even believe in? Because we're searching for meaning.ering things we don't even believe in. Because we're searching for meaning. And because we can't say no. Oh, hey, you're going to that thing tonight, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'll be there. No, I'm not going to that crazy shit.

Are you out of your mind? See, people got to go along to get along. Those days are coming to an end. Corinthians 7.2, if you're looking for meaning, forget about what the internet says about dating, forget about dating apps, forget about, in terms of love and meaning, folks, forget everything.

Literally, forget everything. If you're looking for a formula for the woman or the man that you're going to spend your life with, I want him to be this tall, and I want her to be this size, and I want her to have brown hair and blue eyes, and I hope she dresses like this and does this and does that. That's about the quickest way to wind up alone. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication. Corinthians 7, 2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Let the husband give unto the wife due benevolence, and likewise also the wife unto the husband. Here's the part that the left wing doesn't want anyone to hear. This is the part of the Bible that they want no one to hear, which is why I have a pink highlighter sticker over it. The wife hath not the power of her own body, but the husband. See, if it were only that, they would love that. We told you it's just like abortion.

We knew it all along. And likewise also the husband hath not the power of his own body, but the wife. Oh, imagine that. They said that in the Bible all those years ago? The wife has power over the man's body, and the man has power over the wife's body? Holy mack, You must be kidding. Defraud not one another except it be with consent for a time that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer and again come together.

That Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. Did I say that right? But I speak this by permission, not by commandment. For I would that right? But I speak this by permission, not by commandment. For I would that all men were, even as I myself am. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner and another after that. Therefore I say unto thee, the unmarried and unto the widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I do.

But if they cannot abstain, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn. Yeah. You know, again, it goes back to the sort of triple and quadruple checking. Too many inputs, you know? You want to know what you're really looking for in a partner, in someone you're going to spend your life with. I'll tell you right now,

because there's a bunch of dudes out there with stay-at-home wives who are Christian who will tell you that there's one way to do it and it's my way or the highway. Those are the type of people that I run from. You know, if there's a dude with a formula for life and he's out there trying to, like, tell you it's the only way to go, you have to get away from him. You have to run from these people because there's billions of people out there. You see, when my wife and I met, we were broke. Both of us had aspirations, both of us.

Very different people, as we are still today. Very, very, very different people with very different likes and dislikes. Probably the most important thing, there were probably two things that were most important that we had in common outside of our love for one another. Number one, hard work. Okay? I don't know if that's a box you can tick in these dating apps, but if it is, that's the one.

Forget about everything else, you know? Hair, yes. Maybe that's about it. I don't know your preferences, though. Hard work. That's what your preferences, though. Hard work. That's what life is, folks. That's what marriage is. That's what raising kids is.

You know what I'm saying? That's it. That should be so high up on anyone's list. Is this person going to do this for 40, 50 years? If you get a hint like, a little lazy maybe, I don't know. Probably not the one. But if they're dedicated people that know how to work hard, that's who you want. That's who you want. And the other thing is, my wife and I operate on, we're on the same operating system.

You know what I mean? I don't know if you understand what that means. It's hard to explain. The only way I can really explain it, and we've always been on the same operating system. She's not a Mac. you know what I mean? We're both Windows operating systems. We're both running Linux. And the way I explain that is when stuff goes down,

we're already on the same page. Do you know what I mean? When life events take place, and it's not because we agree on everything socially. But the big things, we're on the same operating system. You know, if something goes weird at school, we look at each other, we already know. This is the move we're making. You know what I'm saying? All of that stuff so far outweighs how how much does she weigh how tall is he what color

how many freckles does he have you know what i mean all of that stuff is so incredibly uh unimportant 20 years 30 years Like, it doesn't even matter, right? This one I don't even know. Just a bit of advice to those of you out there looking for love. Remember, you're looking for love, right? You're not looking for hair. What did I mark here? See, some of these are so old.

This is John. Some of these are so old. This is John. Some of these are so old, it's hard for me to remember. And I placed this sticker in such a way that I don't know. I didn't want to highlight the Bible up, you know, so I put post-it notes and then I put these highlight stickers in it. I can't and this is the condemnation that the light came into the world and men loved darkness rather than that light because their deeds were evil

for every man that evil doeth hateth the light neither cometh to light lest his deeds should be reproved see this I don't remember for God sent not his son into the world be reproved. See, this I don't remember. For God sent not his Son into the world that he should condemn the world,

but that the world through him might be saved. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that that is born of the Spirit is spirit, and that that is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said to thee, you must be born again. Hmm. I don't know what that one's all about.

I mean, it's a very important John 3, you know. You guys know, if you read the Bible at all You know what happens in John In those early stages Yeah I thought I'd bring this old This old gal out What I have in my hands here Is of interest to you

It's the 1599 Geneva Bible Patriots edition Okay It was given to me By a wonderful woman It's the 1599 Geneva Bible, Patriot's Edition. Okay? It was given to me by a wonderful woman who is dead now. And I miss her every day. The table of contents of this book contains the prayer of George Washington, which I've read on the air. Books of the Old and New Testament. the Old Testament, the New Testament.

Historical documents are also in this book, which is what makes it a Patriot edition. We have the Magna Carta in this book, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution of the United States, and the Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior, all in one book. Now, this book will find its way into the hands of my children, hopefully their children. And, you know, that's our duty, folks.

We've got to hand these things down. We've got to speak to them about what it is to be an American the way that our parents spoke to us about it. You know, and probably better. Probably even do a better job. There are so many people coming into our country right now, I'm sure, that aren't going to have any explanation to them of what it is to be American and why America is such a great place. Why they traveled over deserts to get here. It's not just for the cell phones and the Marriott, right? It's for the rights derived from the focus of that Geneva Bible right there.

It's about our responsibility to protect those rights. The beautiful thing about America is that, yes, here you go, bequeathed upon you, bequeathed unto you, these rights given by God. And if it were just that, that'd be one thing. But then, of course, there's responsibility, And the responsibility to protect those rights. And in an age like this, it's all the more important. We want to censor what you say. You can't do that. And I can't allow you to do that.

That's why I have to polish up my no and get it ready. Right? Well, you know, we want to take your guns and well life liberty in the pursuit of happiness folks and i'm telling you right now if you want to preserve life if you want to preserve liberty liberty and you want to protect happiness uh there is a there's a necessity for violence oh i can't believe it no but it's true there is there's a necessity for violence if you want to protect life and you run into somebody who wants to take life there's a necessity for violence in the case like that right if you want to protect freedom and liberty of a people and a tyrant comes to power. It's really weird.

You know, the type of a tyrant that might like, I don't know, use the Justice Department against freedom-loving Americans. Right? Something along those lines. Something crazy. The tyrant that would like, I don't know, embroil his political opposition in trial upon trial upon trial, right? Stalin-esque trials. If a tyrant like that were to come to power, well, yeah, you know, sometimes. We don't know the point.

Everyone's scared to talk about the point where violence, where the Second Amendment gets put to use. Everyone's terrified to even talk about it. It's probably a topic worth talking about. Any topic that's too scary to talk about, that people won't let you talk about, what happens? We watch it happen all the time. It gets blown up out of proportion, right? It gets suppressed. You can't talk about it. You can't say it.

You can't. If we had news anchors and journalists, if every morning you saw a headline and the headline read, when do the American people utilize the Second Amendment to protect their rights from a tyrannical government? It doesn't have to be. They don't have to say that this government is the tyrannical government. Things like intolerable acts, you know, if we were tallying up intolerable acts of today. But in the, you know, in the mainstream, the mainstream conversation. We'd be much safer. We wouldn't be sitting here waiting for an outcome, waiting for a crazy situation to unfold like in a Washington, D.C. backdrop.

But of course, we're too afraid of that conversation. Never violence. No, never. No, never. No, never until it happens. So PBN family, we hold on to our no. We hold on to our rights. We hold on to our rights.

We protect our rights because they are God-given, and it is our responsibility to protect them. We vote the people out. We get involved in local politics. If you don't have a recollection of the episode, just search Rick Austin and our latest episode with him, and we talked about what that looks like. It doesn't mean you have to become head of the school board

and take that kind of fire. But most importantly, we hang on to that no, and we prepare for a lifestyle that allows us to say that word. To say that word and mean it. To say that word when it is convenient and inconvenient. When there are limited consequences and major consequences. It is a measure of a free society, period. Major consequences. It is a measure of a free society.

Period. Right? I mean, the ability for the people to say no is a measure of the free society. It really is. It's a great metric. Can you say it? And does it mean anything? Okay.

Think it over, PBN family. My family's ready for me to come upstairs. I can hear them. They're being loud. It's taking me off my game a little bit. So we're going to call it a night. I do appreciate you. And we'll talk soon, PBN family. a night. I do appreciate you. And

we'll talk soon, PBN Family. Support the sponsors, okay? And get yourself a copy of The World of Ready. Or ten copies. It's your call. Talk to you soon, folks. PBN Family, come in. I need your help.
