Red Beacon Daily News, July 14th, 2026, today's show brought to you by HydroBlue Water Filtration. Check them out Hydroblue.com. DHS ICE officer fatally shot man in Maine, quote, fearing for public safety. DHS said an ice agent fired his weapon at the man and an illegal immigrant with a final order of removal after he attempted to flee. This story by Jack Phillips From The One and Only Epic Times An illegal alien with a final order of removal

Was fatally shot by an immigration and customs enforcement officer In Bidford, Maine on Monday morning After attempted to flee in its vehicle During an attempted traffic stop The DHS said in a post on X DHS and ICE agents were conducting targeted surveillance at the man's last known address around 7 a.m.

When the man drove away from the home, officers tried to pull him over, but the driver fled the scene, quote, fearing for public safety, an ICE officer shot at the car and hit the driver. The man was taking the hospital but died from his injuries. Bidford police and the FBI responded to the scene, and the DHS office of Inspector General will investigate the shooting as is standard practice.

and people are pissed. Now, it's weird that we don't know anything about the man. They need to release some information on the man so that we know, because, you know, fearing for public safety, that means that the man probably was a dangerous guy, right? We've done, you should get to know the people. No matter how this story hits you,

no matter how this story plays out, you should definitely get to know the people that ICE has removed from this kind of. country. Because they're so awful, you can't even wrap your head around it. The main house speaker, Ryan Feck 2, and I don't know if you know this, but Maine is, Maine is not what you would expect out of Maine, was first to report on the incident writing a statement on Facebook on Monday morning. Oh, wonderful.

This morning, a shooting occurred in Bidford. A person was killed. Ice was involved. I don't like statements being made on social media. You know that? I'm not a fan. We need a new town hall. We're in dire need of a new town hall, really. To me, something, you know, the Red Beacon way, feels like we should get back to mail.

I really think we should get back to mail. You know, newspapers, mail. It's just better. You know, let me log on to X to see what the Department of Homeland Security has to say. What? Let me log on to Facebook to see what. that my house speaker, Ryan Fectal, has to say. Bidford is a city in Southern Maine near Portland.

He added that the main state police and state department public safety are investigating and that he expects the FBI to get involved. Quote, these are the details that I have at this time. I will provide further aware of reports that someone was fatally shot in Bidford this morning and ICE may be involved, so in the early days here. The Maine Solidarity Fund This is from Niriv Shah The Democrat running for the Senate seat

released a statement On X The Maine Solidarity Fund Has been providing direct assistance To Maine's black and brown immigrant communities As they face arrest, attention, and deportation from ICE If you can, please consider giving In support of their work today

So, you know I wonder how long it would take to dig into the main solidarity to fund to see who's really making money over there. Another wonderful non-for-profit where everyone drives around and Mercedes-Benz. Yeah, this was, I mean, you know, you want my two cents real quick on Red Beacon Daily News. This is, we're firing up the DHS, the, I mean, the ice situation, you know. Before long, I think ICE themselves will be under attack under sort of. of a, like a rebellion in the streets against ice and not just, I think by the end of the year it could be pretty ugly with ice. I really do. I said that at the beginning of the year and I'm going to stick

with it. Let's move on, shall we? Let's move on. Let's move on because we have a very interesting letter from, I don't even know how many signatories, untold signatories from the Stanford Digital economy lab. We Must Act Now. That's get into it because it's short. It's to the point, but it's a reminder. Do AI assistant here? We've got a bit of a good news

situation. Statement on AI's transformation of the economy. Now, this is a very short three-point letter, if you will. It has five, ten, ten, Harvard, Stanford, Harvard, former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt, University of Chicago,

University of New York, Brookings Institute, Yale, University of Cambridge, Johns Hopkins, Harvard Business, George Mason, Open AI Foundation, Anthropic, Peter McCroy, Partnership on AI, Raise U.S., Advanced Machine Intelligence, Emory University,

I mean, to go University of Virginia, Chicago. University of Zurich, Complexity Science Hub, the Toulouse School of Economics, the Warsaw School of Economics, the Bank of Korea, London School of Economics, Cornell, Anthropic, Thinking Machines, University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University and Open AI, Inset, MIT, Johns Hopkins, I mean, you get it, right? I'm scrolling. I'm still scrolling. University of Oxford, Windfall Trust, Princeton. These are all colleges, but the college is not the, these are all. These are all. all people in the college that they have attended. Zoe Hitzig, Lawrence, Katz, every one of these is a person. Creative Destruction Lab, University of PA, Stanford University, Anthropic, MIT, Boston University, Columbia, Columbia, University of PA, Yale University, Union Square Ventures, Utopia. I don't know where Utopia is, Gigi. Northwestern University of Michigan. But, but, but, but, but, still going, still scrolling, still scrolling, and scrolling through a bunch. Stanford, Stanford, Stanford, Fast.A.I. University of British Columbia, Microsoft Research.

All of these people, it's got to be hundreds of people. We have put together this We Must Act Now. That AI website. You can look it up. And it's just a statement. It's one of these monuments, one of these moments in time when it comes to artificial intelligence. AI, number one,

AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years. I mean, you need a PhD for that. Two, this could drive an unprecedented, dented transformation of our economy, larger than the Industrial Revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, it could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major gains in living standards. Number three, economists, economists, policymakers, and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI and to build the incentives, guardrails, and institutions need to steer AI in a direction that complements humans and benefits society.

This, we must act now.a.I. This statement that has been signed off by all of these signatories from different colleges was a big story. and I think it's kind of dumb. I'm going to be honest with you. I think it's kind of dumb. I know with 100% faith that this audience could have done such a better job at a we must act now statement, a statement on AI's transformation of the economy. Like, me and the hosts of PBN, me and the listening audience, we could have come up with three points that just would have been way better than this.

This is crap. I was going to, you know, I thought that I would feel better after I read this. I read it before the thing, and then I looked at all the names, and I was like, okay, and then I read it after, and then I read it live on air right now. And after naming all those schools and all those colleges, this has gone completely differently than I planned. Because right now, there's a level of underwhelm that, you understand?

Did you read that and go like, wow, PhDs and MIT's and you and me's? You probably read that and we're like, duh, what? Even number one's crazy. AI may become radically more powerful over the next 10 years? What do you mean? It's going to be radically more powerful in the next 10 days. What is this? I'm angry now.

No, I'm not kidding. When I grabbed the story this morning for first at Beacon Daily News, I said, this is interesting. You know what I mean? And I read over it real quick. I saw revolution and scale job displacement and economists. And I said, you know what, this will be good. this would be fun.

We can talk about AI at LAR. And I've come to an completely different situation now, like a completely different conclusion. And one that really, it really sucks to come to this conclusion because of the fact that colleges are so under fire anyway. But when you listen to a bunch of people from universities, Eric Brissonoff,

A.J. Arr, Anton Korenek, Tom Cunningham, Michael Spence, Darren Aachenacham, Diane Coyle, Chad Jones, David Otter, Joseph Stiglitz. Who are these people? My son, either one of them, either one of them, the 10-year-old or the 14-year-old, could do better than this.

I'm just saying, it was what it is. If I told them give me three points, like, we're going to title this, we must act now, a statement of AI's transformation of the economy, right? And I said, I need three points, all right, that are serious, that we need to wrap our, head around, right? Things that are urgent.

And look, there is a disconnect, and it's not generational. It's not, there is a disconnect and the division with artificial intelligence. This explains it. This explains it. This could drive an unprecedented transformation of our economy larger than the industrial revolution, but unfolding over a vastly shorter time frame. It could bring risks, including large-scale job displacement, as well as opportunities such as major...

I mean, this is like... You know what this is? I'll tell you what this is. I think I know what this is. And this is another divide. This is another divide. This is where the universities are at their worst. Because this is my guess.

My guess here is this. If we're going to make this big letter, right? We're going to make this big letter. See, this is like I got to stop. because I'm going to have to talk about this on today's show. Over at PBN, Red Beacon Daily News is not designed for big breakout topics, but this just pissed me off. This is people who are quote-unquote smart, right, who created a letter.

They listed their concerns. They brainstormed. They thought it all over. And then they said, how can we rewrite this so that the idiots understand it? And now when I read it, I realize that's exactly what this is. All these brilliant people, instead of publishing something brilliant, I guess they're brilliant people. I don't know. I'm just assuming because they have a school next to their name.

It could be the complete opposite. It could be the fact that maybe they're just not that smart anymore in colleges. But anyway, they wrote something down, the three-point plan here, the three-point letter. And then they said, all right, let's simplify it. okay so that even the dunces out there that make up the majority

can understand it because we're super smart and they're not smart economists policymakers and technology leaders must act now to understand the economics of transformative AI

and build the incentives guardrails and institutions needed to steer AI in a direction to common society Oh Yeah, we gotta hold on to that one We Must Act Now.A.I.

That's a I could do a diatribe on that Like you wouldn't believe But I'm not going to do it here on the news show Instead we're going to talk about some prepertect courtesy of Chin The Wizard of the Communications Network here at PBN

The man behind the comms The All Encompassing The All get it The All Encompassing Chin Gibson, ladies and gentlemen. I don't know what happened yesterday. Listen, I'm going to be honest with you. I get a lot of messages from Chin about a lot of radios,

and only about 50% of those messages with links do I open. Because it's a title wave. Tom's is a title wave. You know, I am so grateful to have Chin in our corner who can say, this works, this is bullshit, try this, do that. you should try this, you should listen to this guy, these kinds of things, you know what I mean? Because if I was out there,

I'd rather do smoke signals than sift through the internet to find out what radios to buy and not to buy. You know what I mean? But listen, he puts me onto this new technology called Ritculum and I listened to a podcast about it and then briefly listen to a podcast about it until I got the idea.

And then I said, you know what? I'm just going to download this reticulum mesh chat, put it off, put the software on my computer and mess with it and figure it out. This is, this reticulum mesh chat X, you can search it up, you can download it from their website. It's an all-in-one reticulum client. And this, this, I'm not sure. I don't know 100% what we got going on. we've been on the cutting edge with the element chat room. I always felt like that.

I always felt like our encrypted element chat was awesome. Now it's clear to me. And Chin was the man behind that, too, by the way. This is years before everybody had signal on their phone or whatever. You know what I mean? With telegram. I tell the kids about telegram. They tell me it's just pedophiles on telegram.

So be warned. The word on the street between the kids is avoid telegram because it's just pedophiles. So if you got telegram on your phone, you may just... the things that come out of your kid's mouth, man, when they get older, is hilarious. All I can think about is the old tool man that used to tell me all the time. Join my telegram. Join my telegram. So we have our comms group.

It's very slow. We don't got to get into that. I want to create a chat. Maybe we'll call it the Red Beacon. But I would like to create a chat that is built on this reticulum mesh chat client. And the reason is because it uses telephone. It uses every means. and method, I think, of adding to the chat.

So in other words, the chat, if set up properly, using the proper, you can use mesh nodes, you can use, I don't know all that you can use. Let me give you the 5,000 foot level thought from me. We turn our day-to-day chat into a thing that operates for our audience, both on and off grid. You know what I mean? I think that's the way to do it. I think the way to do it with the chat,

to upgrade the chat, to change the chat, to make the chat more incredible. We build out, I don't know if we can do a forum style or not, but we'll play with it. What I would love is I would love to get this thing up and running and become the new chat.

for PBN and Red Beacon Media and have it be one where even if we have a portion of the chat that exists online to have another portion of the chat that's consistently offline, off grid, running on nodes, running on mesh chat, you know what I mean? That, that's something, right? Because that is the pinnacle. Well, that's everything because that's reps. That's existing. That's like walking around in broad daylight in Super Sayan for no reason because you have to fight sell.

I don't know nobody understands what I just said. But that's what that is. That's working under the load and all of a sudden it just becomes the way you do business, right? That's working with the mesh nodes, working with off-grid comms, not once a month, but every single day so that now all of a sudden, oh, we're just always off-grid. We just always off grid over at our reticulum chat. That's what we do. So feel free to reach out. Feel free to join.

You may or may not be able to connect to the network because of this, that, and the other things. But it's really only a matter of time. So if you're reading about mesh, you're hearing about mesh, you're thinking about mesh and all that kind of stuff. Just believe me when I tell you, like, it's only a matter of time. The mesh networks are going to continue to build. If you're incredibly rural, you might have a different level of trouble.

But basically, I like this chat. like that people can join into this chat in a number of different ways in some of them off grid. Ritcula mesh chat X. Check it out. Big thanks to Chin. Make sure you thank Chin, man. He is the man. He is, like, there are so many pieces of the puzzle.

And, yeah, there's so many pieces of the puzzle that, uh, that really make me and make PBN and Red Beacon what it is. Just so many. So let's get into the goods. Let's get into the goods today. We're going to read something to you. Entitled Solitude. And then I guess I have to get ready for the live show. Happy the Man.

So Solitude by Alexander Pope is something to consider. It's a life to consider in this technologically driven day and age, right? Solitude, Alexander Pope. Happy the man whose 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, and health of body,

peace of mind, quiet by day. sound sleep by night study and ease together mix 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 the life of solitude Who could bear it? Who could bear it this day and age, folks? Well, listen, thank you so much for joining us. Another episode of Red Beacon Daily News. Red Beacon Media.com will be up this week.

It is a new hub. It is a new place. It is a new stance for humanity. And I hope you go and check it out. We'll make an announcement here amongst many other places. but thank you so much for joining us today. We will see you tomorrow for more Red Beacon Day.
