You're listening to PBM. You're paying back the stability here. Happy the man, PBM family. Welcome in. Let me get out of here. We're going to do a little... We're going to do a little Alexander Pope this morning. But I want to disappear.

This one is for all of you out there on the acreage, right? Or the ones who aspire to be. It's called Solitude. written just so you know by a guy who was doing his thing 1688 to 1744 I'd like to plug the dates on some of these older poets so you understand the same message I was conveying in my book poems for men

which is we've been at it a while we've been at the same old shit a long time Alexander Pope Solitude Happy the man who's wish and care a few paternal acres bound. Content to breathe his native air in his own ground. Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread, Whose flocks supply him with attire.

Whose trees in summer yield him shade in winter fire. Blessed who can unconcernedly find hours, days, and years slide soft away. In health of body, peace of mind, quiet by day. Sounds sleep by night, study and ease, together mixed sweet recreation and innocence, which most does please with meditation. Thus let me live unseen, unknown, thus unlamented let me die. Steal from the world and not a stone tell where I lie. Alexander Pope Solitude Tremendous.

Tremendous. I mean, we're trying to figure out, trying to figure them out over and over again, all the old lessons. They're all in here. I want to thank Chin for this book. This book has probably, I don't know, it's got a lot of markings. I've had it for less than a year, but it's, I mean, it's amazing book. So big show today, folks, lots to talk about. We got an evening show tonight that's going to be a little bit out of the norm,

but one you don't want to miss, okay? One you most certainly don't want to miss because, you know, a lot happened in that assassination attempted. We've got the right group of people to talk about it. We've opened up. So we're going to take a look at the Secret Service response to the assassination attempt. if you want to call it that, I don't know, that part beyond the motivation of the shooter and all that kind of stuff, I don't care about it. You know what I mean?

It's not really what I want to talk about tonight. I want to really look at the response because a lot of people talk about it. People on PBN have talked about it. I heard about it in some ways. I haven't done deep, like, research on it to see what really happened. I'd like to see what a smattering of hosts here at PBN have to say about it. And most importantly, how things like check in, things like, you know, the overall response, proficiency, training, like how that stuff relates to the prepping world, the home security world, the home defense world, you know, protecting your family world. Because it's weird.

It's a weird one. I don't quite understand it, to be honest with you. So that'll be live 8 p.m. Eastern time. We definitely have Dave Jones, the NBC guy who will be with us tonight for sure. I just put the announcement out to the rest of the PBN hosts. We may. It's a short notice, so we'll have to see who comes, who shows up, you know, that whole thing. But welcome in, Preb Broadcasting Network, for those of you who are unawares, daily shows, seven days a week.

We're on cranking out shows. Today is Medical Monday. You have one of the best. You got one of the best. It's Judson Carroll, How to Treat Viruses. with herbs. I mean, like one of those sort of like drills to the very core of sort of self-reliance and independence. Right, right, right to the core of prepping, homesteading, that kind of stuff. How to treat viruses with herbs from who is really our professor on the topic. You know what I mean?

The guy is an absolute professor here at PBN. That's what he is. If you paid for an education on herbal medicine, you wouldn't get the kind of quality that is just sitting here, thanks to Judson Carroll. You know, just go to prepperbroadcasting.com, search herbal medicine for preppers, and download everything. Save it on a thumb drive. Truly, he's done an amazing job for us. Caffeinate, caffeine, caffeinate, caffeine.

The other big story for today that I want to talk about, and I'll have to disappear to do it because it's all around phenomenal article right up by the Epic Times. For those of you don't know, we read the Epic Times here in this house. It was maybe like a year old decision, a little less, to get the newspaper back in the house. I read it. I give it to my dad. You know what I mean? He loves reading it too.

it's just one of those things. The digital world took a lot of stuff away. You know what I mean? It took a lot. It took things away from you. You never really asked. And in the face of comfort and convenience, you probably let it go without even knowing it.

Just thinking like, I can read the news on my phone. I can read it on my, you know, and everything is the thing. So when you give a thing up like that, you're giving more up. giving other things up. You give up the newspaper. You give up some things. And you receive some things that you probably are unwanted, right? Like now all of a sudden, if you're going to read your news online, it might be between some stories that drive you absolutely nuts or some ads or some, you know, whatever it is. Not to mention the quality of the news itself is in the toilet. So it's epic times. I don't know. They're not a sponsor yet. They are, they just do a really great

job, man. They do a great job at news coverage. They put out a hard, a true newspaper, but they also have an online publication that's great. And they touched on, you know, the raw nerve of kind of one of the things that is really building and building in the American sentiment right now, which is how come we never own anything, right? There's a lot of people all around the country right now who are asking that question about vehicles and about homes, massive. investments. And if you pay an annual property tax, no matter how old you are, you think to yourself, like, am I ever going to own this thing or no? Like, what's the deal? So before we get into that, I want to invite you. I want to invite you to an ad hoc fast over the next 72 hours if you

are so daring. Okay. It's up to you. This was not a pre-planned fast like we do here at PBN, but this is It just is what it is. It just, it was one of those things. It was a, well, where did it really come from? I haven't done one in a while. I needed to do one. Last week, I worked out one time. You know what I mean?

Really, really solid workout like once. I, sometimes you get like, you feel the weakness creeping in. You know what I mean? Like the, you feel the weakness. is creeping and you start giving into all kinds of things eating this kind of food and sleeping in and do you know what i mean i don't know i don't know how to describe it to the average person i say sleeping in i get like upset with myself after six six 30 seven right you just feel yourself softening up right the voice in your head is winning right that that horrible voice in your head that demon really

It's probably what it is. I've been reading a lot of the orthodox quotes from the saints. The Eastern Orthodox saints quotes. And they talk about fasting a lot. And it is very clear in the Bible. You know, if you want to fight demons, fasting is it. It's just it. And I think the reason for that is like that weak whisper in your head that you give

into when it comes to whatever vices you have, right? When you give into that shit over and over again, the best way to put a tourniquet on that, you know what I mean? To cauterize that is fasting. I think it's the polar opposite of comfort and convenience, right? It's like the total opposite. We live in the world of perpetual comfort and convenience. I want a snack. I want this. I want a piece of digital dopamine. I can just look at that and flick around. look at pictures and you know buy things and do things and play a video game and play you know you can get a wash in this stuff intoxicated you know and I think in that intoxication of comfort and convenience the demons get in and they start pushing and pushing and pushing and

you know then all the sudden you realize like oh I'm off course man like I'm I'm off trajectory now now I'm off trajectory things aren't getting done that are supposed to get done I I can't. You know what I mean? If you need a hard reset, that's what the fast is. The fast is a hard reset on a number of things. The other thing it does too is it, it's one of the only things that really cleans you out for real. There's all this stuff you can drink and, you know, I remember the like the juicing fasts and the this fast and, you know, whatever, eat this and just only eat this for like a week. chia seeds, everything is a workaround. All of that stuff is a workaround to the real suffering of not eating. That's really not that bad. You do it a few times. We've got people who do it here now.

A lot more than I ever thought would do it, do it. You know? It's ancient. You look it up in the Bible. You see how ancient it is. It's something we've always done, probably because we had to. It may have been like, it may have been something we may. made up just because we were poor and had no money and no food right oh i'm on a fast yeah i'm on a

five-day fast for the lord uh but there look it's true it's real i guarantee you i'll do 72 i'll do 48 72 hours somewhere around there i'll break and uh and i'll be back you know what i'm not that i'm there's nothing really wrong but you can just feel things that the ship the ship's starting to get a little rickety out there on the sea of life life and, you know, just do it. Just try 24 hours. Try 24 hours if you really want to give it a go. Maybe ate breakfast already.

So now you just stop. Don't eat for the rest of the day until tomorrow. Try to go to tomorrow till lunch or something like that, you know. Again, it's completely up to you. It wasn't, it's not a network wide fast. I didn't tell anybody about it. I didn't. It wasn't planned.

It's just personal. Just one of them personal ones. So you can get involved if you want. If it's your first one, you'll probably be pretty uncomfortable. You'll probably feel like, oh, I don't know about this. But 24 hours in, I think it gets easier, 48 hours in. You know it's working. And what do I mean by working?

Everything starts burning off of you. And you feel it, taste it, smell it, experience it. I mean, it's just is what it is. You'll feel it. So join in with us. If you're in element, we can talk each other through it. You know what I mean? That whole thing.

If you need that kind of support, I'm here for you. Okay. Let's get into the Red Beacon News, and we will talk about this property. Oh, that's a pretty, pretty thing, isn't it? That breaking news, Red Beacon Property Tax Rebellion. Epic Times reports public schools spending $1 trillion a year. and then I added Americans own nothing. This is not an attack on the public school system.

They deserve to be attacked in some places around the country. What's coming out of public schools is ugly. Public school is a big conversation, though. It also has a lot to do with parenting. Your kids come home. Do they do their homework? Do they read at home? Do they do anything at home?

They come home with detentions. They come home with suspensions. Do they get punished? Or you just say, whatever. I don't have time for it. The school deal with them, right? I want to get into this one. We're going to full screen this thing.

basically because I want to read it and not be kind of in the way and stuff. But look at that beautiful image, huh? Is that a beautiful image? They do a great job, man. They really do. So hang with me. Let's look at it.

If you're not looking, just listen. We're going to read. It's going to be good. This is a premium report. Epic Times. I'm sorry for sharing your premium content with my audience, but it is what it is. public K through 12 school spending now exceeds $1 trillion annually

$1 trillion annually on public school nationwide K through 12 and groups say they've had enough. They say they've had enough. Let's take a look at what's happening in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, at a petition table inside a Cleveland area gun show on a drizzly Saturday afternoon. Citizens talk on American Dream. derailed. There's the elderly couple who paid off their mortgage decades ago

but can't afford the property taxes on their home. Their local government theoretically can seize the property and auctioned it off to someone else if the annual bills remain unpaid. It's the crux of the issue. I mean of all the things happening nowadays, that crazy-ass looming threat is it's insane to spend your whole life paying off a property you own it and it can still be taken away. Add empty nesters who can't downsize the smaller houses because interest rates are too high. Farmers describing an impossible situation. I never even thought about farms.

An impossible situation. And recent college grads who, well, you know what kind of a boat they're in, right? Let's see what they got going. If the signature count falls short, whatever is collecting can be applied the following year or however long it takes, said Black Marr. The main volunteer for 3,000 plus members. Citizens for Property Tax Reform Group. I need one. We need one in Virginia.

We need Patriot Power Hour. Start the... Actually, you know what? It should come from the mountain. It should come from Jones and E. Tom and his neighbor because they're... Well, they're not out of sync politically to some degree. Citizens for Property Tax Reform, the CPTR. I like it.

we're really hurting in Ohio everybody is hurting anybody who owns a thing and doesn't own the thing is hurting this is this is the whole issue this is the crux of the issue right it's it's not fair it's literally the great reset in and of itself like we were bitching and moaning about the great reset like you will own nothing and you'll love it while we were living it like oh god look look what's coming something is going to happen but meanwhile you're living it 46 states in the district of Columbia already have limits on annual local property tax levy increases, and leaders in Florida and taxes are pursuing additional legislation to limit government flexibility and how it raises revenues. According to the September report from McKinsey and Company, a global management consulting, oh, my favorite, I love it. I love a good global management consulting firm.

I have no idea what they do, but it's never good. their clients include state and local governments. Schools, here's the old thing, right? This is the old rub. This is the old rub that they get you with every time. This is how they repossess your home and take it and sell it. It's the only ammunition. It's the only ammunition you could use against two old people who are struggling

and can't make the tax payments on their house so the state takes it. There's only one thing you could do. And here it is. School's already strapped for cash hanging the balance. That's a great line. That is as well written as it gets to scare the shit out of you and make you say, oh, take more of my money. I don't have any fucking money to begin with.

Take more of it. School districts struggle with declining student enrollment, unfunded mandates, state and federal aid loss largely due to skyrocketing Medicaid costs and spiking employee health insurance costs. Let the state, what is this, Ron Schumont resident, Springfield Township says, let the state find a way where 100% of the population pays for education. They give profit-making businesses a break, but not us. It's wild, man.

I love the hat. Axe Ohio tax, baby. Yeah, Axe Virginia tax. I love it. Across states and communities. This is a crazy story. It's a, it's a monumental thing. that we all have to wrap our head around because why why is it such a big deal it's such a big deal

um hey get your epic time subscription if you want to read the rest of it i may read some more of it we'll see um but anyway it's a monumental thing because we're 250 in right we're 250 years in and we really have to make a decision about what this country is. Like, what are we? Because what's happening right now is the, I always tell you the battle for liberty is perpetual. Every day, every generation. You can't fix it.

You're never going to fix it for your children, their children, so on. And so there's nothing the generation before you could have done to fix it. right it is it's the perpetual battle and you can see it in an issue like this because in an issue like this and in time like this you're being pushed the wealth is being swallowed up like normal the power like normal you look at countries around the world especially old ones the consolidation of money the consolidation of power right that's the death of the american way it ends. And it ends because rebellion stops. You get that, right? It ends because rebellion ends. People get comfy. Oh, this ain't so bad. I'll just shut up. You know, that's how it ends.

As soon as it ends, the boat starts, the course changes. The boat starts going in a direction. It hits the good old jet stream that every country goes into all over the world ever since the beginning of everything. which is power, money consolidated the top and you follow the rules. The big difference is America is rebellion against everything. You know what I mean? It's not just tax. It's just that's the mentality. That's the mentality you want to carry with you.

The problem is the rebellion movement currently has been hijacked by like fully grown adult teenagers who for some reason they argue about. the state of affairs in a nation from within like this world that is amazing and it looks terrible they don't make the case well you know what i mean like they don't they everything looks great coming up roses they are they they they protest from a giant mansion in southern california about the conditions of living in the united states and it's something about it just doesn't feel right but it's fine by me i mean if the if the issues they're fighting for are the right ones.

And this is the right one. You know what I mean? Property tax is insane in a place like America. It's bananas. Crazy. I don't even know how it came to be. The fact that, see, but we did have some, we did go on Liberty vacation for sure. We definitely went on a, we let the tyrants run rough shot for a while.

We must have because that's the only way something like that can come to be. Or we were guilted, right? We were guilted by the children. They can guilt you very easily. They use this. They use your complexion. If you're Caucasian, they'll guilt you with that. Oh, you need to help.

You need to do. You need to give. You need to step aside. You need to shut up. You need to let the other person talk. Right? They'll guilt you with that. And then they'll guilt you with the kids too.

They'll say all the kids. There's no money in the schools. We don't know. Teachers are getting paid $2 an hour. You got to send in pencils because we can't afford pencils. And you're supposed to sit there and go, okay, sure, whatever. I remember when I moved to Virginia,

they put the meals tax in place. I got here and they added a new tax. And every time they added a new tax, they do the same thing. They tell you how kids, schools, children, no child left behind, right? There was a reason why Red Beacon media is rebellion and renaissance.

Right? Rebellion and renaissance. These are the two things that we need in this country more than anything right now. We have to rise above the idea that it's a done deal than AI is here and everything's done. Don't write, don't paint, don't draw, don't sing, don't do anything because AI can do it all better than you anyway. We've got to get above that. And there's no better time for the new American Renaissance than now. It's perfect timing.

Perfect. I mean, you go back in history and look at waves of Renaissance throughout history. in the world's perfect this is the time and and the reason that's so important is because with the with an american renaissance then we can get back to valuing americans again and humans in in general because there's a big time sort of devaluation sorry chat fire wolf what's up man family doesn't like me fasting taxes is supposed to have a tax discount for how many kids you have Okay. Yeah, I don't like tax discounts. That feels like another like feeble sort of way to quiet the populace down. Just quiet. Just give them a little, we'll charge them a little less. You know what I mean?

All right. I could go on and on about this. We got to move on, right? We have to move on. It's an issue that's been a pain in my ass for like five, six years now. Multiple angles of anger. You know what I mean? So I don't want to die on. it I think it's straightforward. Pay attention locally, obviously, because it's going to keep coming. It's going to keep going on. Groups in your area. You probably want to get to know them. Probably want to support them, right? Sign the thing, do the thing, send the email, all that kind of stuff because you never know. You never know what can happen. That's kind of what scares everybody in this whole thing, right? You never know what can happen. And then before long, the government's

at your door, the padlock. Let's talk about portable prep. We got to talk about. We've got to talk about today's amazing sponsor. PortablePrep.com. Their Kickstarter link is down below. Hang on a second. I'm going to share with you their website because I want to show you their water treatment. The Kickstarter that they're running,

or I don't think it's started yet actually, but they will be running. The link is down below. Go check it out. Save the Kickstarter so that you get alerted when it comes up so you can see the whole thing, see how to support, see the whole thing. This it is what it is.

So it's rebellion again, right? It's a rebellion against who generates your power, who owns your power, that whole thing, right? I don't know. You look back at PBN history, you can see that we've been ahead of the game on a lot of things for a long time. This utility's thing is the next thing. You know what I mean? And it's going to be commonplace before long, but right now people are working on. the technology. A company like portable prep is one of those people. It's one of those companies

that's doing that kind of work. I want to show you their water filtration though. So go to the Kickstarter link down below and you can see what's going on with the wind. It's awesome. The turbine's amazing. It auto turns towards the wind, like the best course of wind. It auto turns to it. I did not want you to follow me. It's sweet, man. I don't know how much we can look at it and get the details. But I wanted you guys to see this cool case, this sort of portable water filter case, 12-volt DC, charger replacement, six-stage water filter. This is a, this goes into the pace for your water treatment, for your water preparedness overall.

This is one of those primary alternate contingency emergency pieces. You buy one. You're good. We're going to have another sponsor in water soon, and we'll talk about that also. But suffice it to say, man, this is a good one. This is a good one. It reminds me a little bit of something that the folks at Greenavative created years ago. But this is exponentially smaller and powered by electricity, which is my preference.

what's coming from the Kickstarter whether you left the grid for a step into the wild imagine a power source that works for you from I mean we're not going to watch just watch the video again the prep systems innovatively designed turbine captures energy from the lightest breeze day or night rain or shine it aligns itself automatically

rotating freely I don't know how 360 degrees to find the wind. But let's talk about what makes prep so revolutionary. It starts with our advanced generator technology. We've re-engineered the core to achieve an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. You get maximum energy output from a system that's compact enough to fit in your backpack, ready for your vehicle, boat, or remote cap.

Prep delivers fast USBPD and QC charging for your phone or tablet directly, or it can charge 12 and 24 volt batteries directly for robust multi-source power stations. It's an all-in-one solution that makes storing and using power beyond the grid both safe and effortless. Think about that reliability. When the sun sets early, the clouds roll in for days, other options are all short. Prep ensures your essentials stay on.

probably wasn't it's about expanding your independence right it's about confidence you're in a situation where you can plug your water you have a way to keep your lights on into your wind your mind critical electronics you can power that phone a laptop medical devices and emergency radio all charged up it all culminates in this idea of what matter secure be part of by utilities right i don't know if it'll wind up that way for good or not obviously say there's going to be a battle, right? The utility companies in the city aren't going to be like, oh, no. Yeah, sure, you handle that.

The only thing we have left. So show notes, go to the Kickstarter, check portable prep out, save, follow, do the whole thing, right? You can go to Portable Prep.com, buy their stuff right now if you want to. Get to know the company. Send them an email. Tell them you heard about them on PBN, okay? Goes a long way for us, really. If you email a sponsor, tell him you heard about us or heard about them on PBS, big deal.

The black fast. The black fast, the coffee fast. No milk, no sugar, okay? I always drink water and coffee when I fast. And I eat Himalayan pink salt. Okay. So those are the things. You see me sipping something.

That's what it is. I never put anything in my coffee anyway. So, um, those are the things. the non-negotiables. If I ever get crazy enough to do like a nothing fast, that will be, that's next level. No water, nothing. It's to take some toughness. The month of firsts, let's talk about it before we get out of here. Okay. We covered the Secret Service review show tonight. Don't miss it. 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Don't miss it. Firewolf, you could do whatever you want you want, man. You know what I mean? Whatever you want to do, you can do. You want to

drink bone broth only do it i drink water and coffee and a little salt for electrolytes because i don't want nutrition i don't want anything i want my body to scour the inside for what it needs because that's how it starts to eat off the bad cells what is it autophage right autophagy it starts to eat the cancer it starts to eat all that stuff in your body that's there from comfort and convenience. Comfort and convenience is the cause of cancer. I don't care what you say. I just think about it. Just think about it. You're living this little this cushy life where everything's just like a little arms reach away. Everybody's a little bit overweight, right? Everybody's got too many too much sugar, too many carbs. All that extra stuff goes where?

It goes to fuel cells and it goes to fuel things that are that are become extra. You got more than you need. You got extra. What starts growing off of extra? Yeah. And the autophage is the real deal. There's a reek that starts to come off you when you fast. It's a smell.

It's one of the most important parts for me because it's like it's working. You know what I mean? But you start to go like, oh, my, what's coming off of me? Your body is burning through the bad stuff, the extra. So we are at the month of firsts, and I want to talk to you guys about that because, you know, this year, we've done phenomenal with the routines. The routines have been top-notch. They really have. And we're going to carry them on.

A couple years ago, we used to do the routines for members only. We drop a few routines for everybody. but a lot of them went behind a paywall. This year we're just putting them all out. Just put them all out. You know what I mean? Why not? It only makes the world a better place.

It doesn't pay the bills any better because it doesn't inspire people to become members. So become a member if you're not a member. Because we're a very generous network, man. And, you know, in this day and age, generosity doesn't hardly pay the bills like it used to. Oops. I got to fix this. Can I fix this like this or no? I'll recreate this PDF.

I didn't look at this PDF. I've been looking off my own PDF. Maybe I'll share that instead. The PDF off the link in the website is not in landscape yet. And I apologize for that. But that's okay. We can fix that. Let's take a look at the month of first before we head out for today.

I want you to get eyes on. your duties for the month. Okay. This will be in PDF format. It's out already at PBNFamily.com. If you're in element, you got it already. I should. I'll link it in the podcast description.

It's not in the Rumble description. It's not in that. We're on LinkedIn today. I have no idea what people do on LinkedIn, but we're on LinkedIn today. Largely what I've done on LinkedIn has had unproductive conversations and received college advertisement.

That's like that's been my history at LinkedIn, right? People reach out and go, hey, you want to do something free for me? I don't really want to do anything free for you. Do you want to do something free for me? No, okay, bye. And that's LinkedIn. Or do you, or necessarily I usually ask for money with things. But anyway, let's have a look.

The month of firsts, if you've really been gone a while, you've have to been gone a while. So I'll keep it brief because I know most of you get it. But May's routine is called a month of first, and it's just what it is. It's about eliminating first. Dave Jones is old. Adage about too many firsts, having too many first sort of in prepping and survival and emergency readiness at large. Right. Like, oh, my God, the lights are out.

Dad, go get that awesome new light thing that you have. Dad, go turn that generator on you just bought. And dad goes out to turn the generator on. And he goes, I never turned the generator on. later on before. I got to put gas in it. I don't know if there's oil in it. You know what I mean?

That's sort of like the biggest too many first example. But there's all kinds of them. And you'll see in the prepper first column what we have to offer. We got 30 days of these. Yesterday was source filter and boil water from a natural source until safe to drink. Like I said, some of these are going to sound real simple. Some of them. Today's is is so simple, but if you've never tried it, then you're going to be surprised how the things go. Where'd I, where'd I shoot down to? We're going to have a Bible verse every day. We're going to have a workout every day, right? Oh, we got some sun salutations today. I always love those. Anyway, jog one mile while wearing your holstered firearm, safe legal location. right and you might think to yourself i know i can jog a mile there's no need for me to do that i know my

holster's really good and works i don't need to do that but if you do that first of all it'll eliminate a first and you'll also be able to tell what's going to happen to that part of your load out if you really do have to run you really have to run what's going to happen and let me you know Sometimes there's pain, sometimes there's discomfort, sometimes there's failure in the gear itself. You can only find it out if you do it. So that's what this month is all about. This month is all about doing those things that you haven't done. Even the ones that seem really simple and you think you're like 99.9% sure that you could pull it off.

I talked about my water filter in winter last year or last on yesterday's podcast about how several years ago I found out luckily in a way that wasn't, you know, make or break that something happened. The storage in the vehicle, the use in the freezing temperatures, it didn't work. Too many firsts, right? So we got we got a lot of good stuff, month of firsts, get in on that PBN family. I think Firewolf says having that thing bounce off your hip hurts after a while, right? That's kind of what it is. It's kind of what you're trying to figure out. What's the deal?

And it applies. We've got it through bushcrafting skills, through survival skills, through gear and stuff like that. So that you can, by the end of the month, I want you to be like, oh, I did some things, right? I did some things that I hadn't done before. And now I know how they work, how they could have failed, and we can fix things, right? Make things better. That's it for me today, folks. That's good.

We did 40 minutes. Tremendous. Go to pbnfamily.com. Sign up for your membership. Tons of great stuff to get over there. New members get an email from me that is worth the entire investment of membership. I mean, it really is. And hang on to your horse.

And keep an eye out for Red Beacon Media. We have a substack now that's going to slowly grow into what I want that platform to be. If you are a writer, artist, those kinds of things. Help me fuel the Renaissance. If you are a gorilla in nature, then help me fuel the rebellion side. All right. I'll talk to you soon, folks. It's time to go.

Big day of work ahead. See you. Just kidding.
