You're listening to P.B.N. You're playing back the stability here. Good day, PBN family. Welcome in. Welcome in. It is Tuesday. We have, uh, man, do we have a good day for you planned today. We are dealing with the Rising Republic. So last week we had our man L. Douglas Hogan back from the dead. A couple weeks off, a few weeks off, and he brought us two episodes of the Rising Republic. Episode number two airs today. I do want to talk about last night. Last night with Dave Jones, the NBC guy, we did a Q&A.

It was an astounding Q&A. The times have changed so much, right, that when we would do a show like this, I used to say last night's show was prepper gold. That's what I used to say, right? Last night's show was prepper gold. That's what I used to say, right? Last night's show was prepper gold. It was awesome. And now I find myself saying it was gold. The lines between prepper and normie or whatever have blurred so much, and the concerns of the world have taken such a forefront,

and mainstream media has hopped on the sort of doom and gloom bandwagon so heavily that to me it looks like last night's show all about the maybe about four or five really deep prepping questions answered by myself answered by dave jones just gold man just go i mean if you're here and you're listening to this podcast that stuff is invaluable that information is invaluable uh for a number of reasons experience being you know the the greatest of them so today's pbn daily news is titled a well rationed life and it has everything to do with the conversation we're going to have. Well, the conversations that we had last night, what you're going to hear on The Rising Republic

today, and what we're going to do for One Threat, One Solution in today's PBN Daily News. Before we get into that, though, so you guys are aware, PrepperBroadcasting.com is where you get all the podcasts. PrepperBroadcasting.com is where you get all the podcasts. PrepperBroadcasting.com. We promote on a bunch of social networks. But really the home base for what I'm doing right now, what I do every other day about,

and the shows that I do in the evenings, and our 15 other incredible hosts that do shows here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network daily, PBN, right? That's what it is. That's the entity to know. PrepperBroadcasting.com is the website. So check it out, share it, spread the word. We have, I mean, we're what you've been looking for. If you're looking out onto the horizon and you see the chaos approaching, we're what you've been looking for. All right, so let's get into our One Threat, One Solution. Last week we talked about, this is from our friends over at the Gray Man Brief, last week we talked about things getting better in the West

with water rationing and Oregon farmers. Was it Oregon or Idaho? It might have been Idaho. Yeah, I think it was Idaho farmers getting their water rights back. Well, you know, the battle with your electricity, the battle with your water, the battle with your food, all of this stuff, man, this never goes away. It's similar to like a Second Amendment attack,

you know what I mean, where they're always, even if they're just taking little nibbles. So let's get into it. Government oversight, self-sufficiency with the gray man brief. That is our one threat, one solution. In Oregon, law limits the use of groundwater on private property to irrigate up to half an acre for personal use, not for commercial purposes. Some small farms violated this by using groundwater without a permit for crops they sold with increased enforcement funding. The Water Resource Department mandated these farms or personal gardens over a half acre, so anybody growing food over half an acre. To obtain water use rights, a process that takes a year, according to multiple reports,

misconception spread claiming personal garden watering was banned, which is false. So, you know, sort of the psyched-up news was, holy shit, we have to stop ordering our gardens. The government says so. have to stop ordering our gardens the government says so first of all um if the government says so and it's something as heinous as that you need to start questioning you need to start saying to yourself what's it look like if i follow that path right so what uh what happens if i don't who's going to enforce it who's going going to—you know what I mean? You've got to start wrapping your head around these things because a lot of these laws are going to keep coming, keep coming, keep coming. to sustain a home garden, particularly larger gardens that are capable of producing quantities for sale, but also larger gardens that are capable of producing food to feed your family, maybe exclusively, right? I'll tell you right now, something that I didn't do out of brilliance, I did out of by accident, fundamentally. And I can't even say that I'm the one responsible for it all. But you know,

you've heard the word decentralized. You've heard about things like decentralized gun storage and currency and all that kind of stuff. Like if you have a half acre and you're worried about this in Oregon, and I'd recommend this anyway for all people who are self-sufficiency minded. You should decentralize your food growing also. What does that look like? It looks like hidden perennial gardens. Not hard to do. You look at local perennials that will sustain in your environment. Food producing perennials, in other words, you know, food that comes back year after year.

You don't have to go there and plant it and trellis it and feed it and fertilize it. Real stuff that grows where it's supposed to grow and comes back year after year. You look outside, you see green stuff growing. It's all perennial or trees, right? So decentralized gardening can be that. It can also be encouraging everyone in your family to grow food, right? Encouraging other people who live nearby in your family to grow food. Hey, why don't you have a garden? You should have a small garden. lot, you know, and you don't have to worry about hitting some kind of half acre who's he, what's he, you know what I mean? Because I look, I don't look at a story like this, guys, and go, oh,

Oregon is so crazy. I look at a story like this and I say, this is the future. This is the future. A well rationed life for you from your government, right? You can have this much water. You can have this much air. You can have this much electricity. You can have this much red meat. You can fly in planes this many times per year. You can this, this, this, right? So what our duty as freedom-loving Americans is right now,

we have to figure out how to get around all of it early and often. Early and often. The government puts these crazy statutes, ORS 537.54 or OAR 690-300-0010, that specifically allow water use for small irrigated commercial. When all that stuff starts going into effect, that's when you just have to, you have got to figure out how to go around it, how to go around it. Rain barrels, decentralized gardening, whatever kind of water sources you can muster. This is water. If you can't argue your way to self-sufficiency with water, we've got a much bigger problem.

And the fact of the matter is, when it comes to water, you don't have to argue. Water tanks can be stored underground, right? Wells can be dug covertly. You're not supposed to, I get that. But guess what? I don't think your government's supposed to regulate your water use either. Right? There's a lot of things not supposed to be happening. And one thing to consider—see, now I'm going off on a tangent.

Yesterday I was quick. One thing to consider, though, is the intolerable acts, right? The intolerable acts—I don't want to go into history. Look it up if you don't know what it is. Probably if you're listening to my show, most people know what it is. We're there. We're there with our government at the very least. And so it's very hard for me to wrap my head around this idea that only the peasants follow the rules that keep them alive Right? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate justice and so on And I want law and order But when you start telling me You can only have five gallons of water a day to water your plants

It's not about a protest in the streets It's about, well, we'll just figure our way around that Alternative everything, for those of you who listen to the Prepper Broadcasting Network on the regular. All right. So that's our One Threat, One Solution, folks. It, you know, it calls into question how you get the things that you need. And I hope that you're considering how you get the things that you need. We're going to wrap it up. We're going to wrap it up with our good friend Khalil Gibran. Khalil Gibran, a tear and a smile. I keep books next to me on either side. Books, some books you would appreciate, some books you wouldn't agree with, some books you would never touch, some books you would read.

Here's one example. Underneath Khalil Gibran is an anthology by F.L. Lucas of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's works and a myriad of other Italian poets. For those of you who have listened to me for any period of time, poetry's a thing, man. It's definitely a thing for me, so it is what it is. Let's get into it. We're going to end the show with this. In fact, I'm not even going to run a soundbite. We're going to keep it short and sweet. This is a poem called The Poet, actually, and it talks about the value therein and a variety of things, man. Until when, O existence, will you build house of honor to them that need the earth with the blood, and shun those who give you peace and repose? Until when will you exalt killing and those who make bend the neck beneath the yoke of oppression,

and forget them that pour into the blackness of the night. I wanted to read you this final stanza, but I just got tripped up on that, because that's pretty cool. The light of their eyes to show you the day's splendor. Those whose lives are passed in misery, that happiness and delight might not pass you by. And the final stanza here, I know most people aren't into this kind of stuff,

but it is what it is. It's important. Poetry's important. Art's important. These things, you start to abandon these things and you wind up with, you wind up with Oakland, California.

And you, oh poets, life of this life. That's pretty cool. If you can appreciate poetry And understand that it is like Someone grabbing life from mid-air And presenting it It's very cool that Khalil Gibran Called Poets the Life of Life

And you poets, Life of This Life You have conquered the ages Despite their tyranny And gained for you a laurel crown in the face of delusion's thorns you are sovereign over hearts and your kingdom is without end Khalil Gibran ladies and gentlemen master absolute master all right let's get the hell on.
