4th of July Special, Ghost Phone, and a Friendly Race

[00:00:03] You're listening to PBN. You will pay us back the stability here.

[00:00:12] PBN Family 4th of July is cancelled. All over the nation we have weak people in power who have decided that for safety, 4th of July should be cancelled.

[00:00:45] And is there anything more weak than that? Is that not the epitome of weakness? Whatever the situation, I mean we know what the situation is and we'll talk about it here in just a second. How about the background here from my buddy Grok, right? My overlord Grok. He's being benevolent. He's being benevolent and I gotta appreciate it.

[00:01:11] It's pretty cool though. You can't see the full picture. There's an American flag on top. You'll see it tomorrow. We're doing our own 4th of July special and I'll talk to you about that real soon. I just want to get this article up for you to look at because we have lists now. We have lists of events being cancelled on the 4th of July in the United States and I can't think of a better way to pat our enemies on the back. I can't think of a better, you know, olive branch to give to the enemies of the United States.

[00:01:41] Then to show them, particularly on the West Coast, the weak coast, right? The frail coast. Just, you know, take away our day of celebration. Now this is in July now. We've celebrated every other possible thing that you could celebrate. Every religion, every race, the accomplishments of field mice in Wisconsin and the things that they have contributed to the United States of America.

[00:02:10] America. Only in my country. This stuff only happens in my country. Only in my country do you, are you given everything, given opportunity, you know, everything. And yet you, you berate the country that has given you so much. It's, it's a wild thing. It really is. So list of cities cancelling the 4th of July events. Let me make sure you guys can see it. Yep. What to know, right? What to know.

[00:02:37] Several cities across the United States have cancelled their 4th of July celebrations just before the holiday. These cities are citing several reasons for cancelling or postponing, including fears that ICE officers might use the event to arrest people, as well as concerns about overcrowding. Now, when this story first broke out of California, it was very clear. Look at this. Look at this shit right here first. Hold on a second. Do you see, do you see what the commander spends his time looking at? Look at them.

[00:03:08] That's all little Warhammer figurines are sending me Etsy ads. Buy more Warhammer stuff. I'm so, I'm so deep. It's bad. Anyway, so the left coast comes out, right? Hey, Savage Ocean, Jay Fergie. Oh my God. Look at everybody hanging. Welcome in.

[00:03:30] So we have all these people, you know, making up this big lie that they're terrified that ICE agents are going to raid 4th of July celebrations and potentially throw out illegal aliens. Like, what? And? First of all, I have a hard time believing that because guess what? A lot of those ICE agents are probably going to be off and celebrating 4th of July. You know what this is.

[00:03:59] This is, there's one word for this and it's petty. That's what it is. That's this whole thing. It's let's do something to punish. You know what it's a lot like? It's a lot like what school is nowadays. I always hear these stories from my kids. Nowadays, one kid is bad in the class and the whole class gets punished. And that's what's going on here. They don't like Donald Trump's policy. They don't like the ICE raids that are happening. So they're going to punish the whole, the whole city by not having a celebration.

[00:04:30] First of all, you should be able to vote on it. It's terrible for the people there. It really is horrible. So the county of Los Angeles, East LA, Rockin' Fourth of July, canceled. Out of caution. And in response to recent ICE enforcement activity impacting our communities, canceled. Okay. Bell Gardens, California.

[00:04:51] All events canceled due to concerns about ICE in a predominantly Hispanic city that has been hosting several events, educating immigrants on their rights. Esparto area, California fireworks displays canceled. Right? I think this one is because of the explosion, though, right? Following an explosion to warehouse containing fireworks for these events. Seven people are still unaccounted for when we're displaying them. Yeah, that's one.

[00:05:21] That's one that. Did you see that video? That's a wild video. The city of Whittier? Is it Whittier? The city of Whittier has canceled its 4th of July Freedom Walk following community concerns. Although city officials did not reference ICE, Whittier has seen an increase in ICE activity over the past months.

[00:05:47] So Mayor Joe, what the hell are you doing? Recent feedback we've received from some community members for a reason. I don't know about it. Yeah, they're picking on people, man. That's all that is. SeaTac, Washington. Fireworks drone display. The city of SeaTac has canceled fireworks citing concerns over crowd control and safety. Come on. Now, what I want to know from SeaTac is the following. This is what I want to know from SeaTac. Okay. You got crowd control issues?

[00:06:18] Did you have a no kings protest or no? Was there no kings going on a couple weeks ago? Will there be no kings protests in the future? Are you worried about crowd control there? Illinois, they have some, they got roped into this, but they have some, some kind of, it looks like construction in the area where they do it. I don't know.

[00:06:41] This is in addition to existing concerns about crowd control as the event became a lot more popular since COVID-19, led to community issues including drunken disorderly behavior and trespassing. It's the 4th of July, folks. So, you know, shame on you. That's all I have to say. Really. Truly, shame on you.

[00:07:03] Like, it does, this, this country is, it's so, like, if you're sitting here really considering, like, really torn up about ICE raids and really worried about your citizens. Yeah, let's talk to those citizens, right? Right? Morning, Firewolf. Let's talk to those citizens and see how they're living in California. You'd expect me to believe that the people like Gavin Newsom who run California are worried about their citizens.

[00:07:32] Have you seen your tax rate, California? Have you seen the price of gas, California? Have you seen the mass exodus that is happening in your state? What do you think that's going to do for your citizens? Yeah, it's going to be good. But now they're going to sit here and go out of an abundance of caution because of Donald Trump's mean and nasty ICE agents. We're canceling the day we celebrate your independence. Literally. Like, it's a victory. That's all.

[00:08:02] California has handed a victory over to Iran. They've handed a victory over to Russia. They've handed a victory over to China. They've handed a victory over to North Korea. Because now these idiots in the West Coast should sit there and go, America bad. We're not going to launch our fireworks. We're not going to. Well, there'll be some crazy Californians that do. And God bless you. You know, there will be. But, you know, this is. Let's talk about ours. Okay. Let's talk about what we're going to do. On a better note. On a lighter note.

[00:08:32] Let's talk about what we're going to do. Because we have a lot planned. This year, it will probably be the best. I did the video yesterday. Created the whole big video sort of display. It's about five. It'll be on about a five-minute loop. Something along those lines.

[00:08:54] And we will do everything from podcasts that are dedicated to the 4th of July. So there won't be any, like, prepping podcasts on tomorrow. Maybe a few. I'm trying. I may try to stay up till midnight and actually kick it off at midnight. I can't make any promises. It's been a tough few weeks. Been having trouble waking up early, which is really weird for me.

[00:09:23] But this, too, shall pass. So. But anyhow. We will do. Well, let's look at the playlist together. Why not? We can look at the playlist together. Let's see if it's in my. Just to give you an idea. Right? We might as well show it off. It's no secret. What was I in? Media player? What the hell was I in? Windows. Windows. What is it? Yeah. Media player, right? Let's bring this thing up.

[00:09:49] I'll share the window with you guys and you can get an eye of what's coming tomorrow. Now, this whole thing came out of necessity. This whole sort of 4th of July special was built out of necessity. Because. Where is it? Here we go. Because I just wanted to listen to tunes. You know what I mean? Like, that's what I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear tunes. Of the time. You know, I didn't want to hear. I didn't want to.

[00:10:18] Like, nothing wrong with Miley Cyrus. Probably a lot wrong with Miley Cyrus. But I didn't want to listen to that kind of stuff on 4th of July. Like, those kind of pop culture sort of, you know, USA. And I'm not a big fan even of the 90s stuff. I'm not a big fan of like, I don't know. I don't want to get people upset. But a lot of those popular songs from the 90s and people were doing, you know, good on them. And I'm glad it exists and all that kind of stuff. But just not my thing, you know.

[00:10:48] So what we're going to do this year, which is different. I used to have to make the list by each individual song and speech and podcast. And then I would have to do it line by line and run it. And inside Spreaker, it was really hard to do. So this year, we're going to run it completely on a streaming software called OBS. We're going to pump that into YouTube, pump that into X, pump that into Rumble. And we're going to run it the whole day. Okay.

[00:11:14] So the whole day for this, you're going to have this. And to give you a taste of kind of what we got going on. Shoot, you guys could probably even hear some of it. But anyhow, we have everything from the Continental Harmony Singers. These guys are great. Let's see if you can hear them. Where's my favorite one? Come join hand in hand. Well, yeah, this is, I'm pretty sure this is.

[00:11:45] No, this is not it. Can you guys hear that? I don't know if you can hear that on that. Firewolf's going to be working. Yeah, enjoy it, man. So we'll have the Continental Singers, which are great. I love them. This is background music for me, man.

[00:12:09] We will have LibriVox recordings are amazing. Huh? Huh? This is the Patrick Henry speech.

[00:12:37] We'll have speeches from the likes of JFK. This is the we choose to go to the moon speech. You know? Well, of course, we'll have our, we've got to have our drum and fife. This is really what started the whole thing for me.

[00:13:07] You know, I had to have the drum and fife. I said, I just want to have the grill on. I want to be killing North Koreans. I'll explain that in a minute. And I want to have the drum and fife on. Yeah, that sounds crazy as hell. I don't know if you guys can hear it or not. I'm going to turn it down and I'll speak over it. How about that? That's nice. I can't get enough of the drum and fife. You know what I mean?

[00:13:31] But we do have a tradition in, we have several, we have all kinds of traditions, right? Like our kids are screwed. When they meet a woman, they're going to have to explain holiday traditions to their lady. And the lady's going to be like, how are you brought up? What, what the hell did you, why did you do all this all the time? Like the Christmas season begins November 1st or something like that. You know what I mean? But anyway, we have this really fun tradition where we play a game called Homefront.

[00:14:01] And in the game Homefront, the United States has been taken over by North Korea. It's an old game now, but it was an amazing game. It was a fun time, man. And it was, it was really like just a wonderful, a wonderfully violent American rebellion that takes place in Philadelphia.

[00:14:23] You know, so for me, it's, I like to get on that video game in the morning and I drink a little bit of coffee and I maneuver around the alleyways of a war torn Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and find heavily armored KPA agents. And stab them in the neck, shoot them in the face. You know what I mean? That kind of stuff. And then my kids will wake up and I give them the controller and I say, hey, kill some North Koreans. And they go and shoot and kill and have fun.

[00:14:52] I don't know. It seems, I know it sounds crazy and they're older now. So I don't feel, I used to feel kind of weird about telling people about it because they were like young at the time. But it just feels like the right thing to do that day. You know what I mean? We had to do it to the British. I don't think we'll ever have to do it to the Koreans, but it's just one of those things that took hold in the household.

[00:15:15] And the kids will wake up and they'll be wondering, they'll be like, is, do you have, do you have homeland or home front rather loaded up? So you will have a collection of speeches. You will have the Gettysburg address likely. I haven't added everything in yet, but we got a ton of stuff already. You'll have, you know, Dave Jones's take on the fourth, probably several. You'll have my take on the fourth. You'll have Carl B's take on the fourth. You'll have almost every host.

[00:15:43] I feel I think we need a Jay Fergie 4th of July hot take. But anyhow, no biggie. It's just one of those things, right? We've got a lot of takes from a lot of people and it's a really good time. You know, it is. It is a really good time. Yeah, I should get you that. Maybe I'll see if I can find that or write that and try to get it to you today. I've got another. Doing too much.

[00:16:13] I need a real slowdown, like a real slowdown. So anyway, let me let me kill this. That is basically what you're going to see. You're going to see a big video. It'll be a video full of a bunch of different sort of patriotic stuff, probably some PBN logos and tons and tons of stuff. And the big difference this year is it's going to be on shuffle.

[00:16:38] So instead of me designing the playlist, which I didn't really do a good job of, it'll be it'll be awesome. You know. It'll be awesome. Jay Ferg. This one's for you. Okay. This one's for you. So star spangled Ferg. That pen doesn't work. Star spangled Ferg, right? Star spangled. Because if I don't write it, it don't happen. Or it has no chance of happening even.

[00:17:08] But this one is this one is definitely time sensitive today. But we'll see. We'll see what we can get done. The days are going too fast. They really are. They're going way too fast. It's I don't know what it is. But it's too much for me right now, which is saying a lot. You know, it is saying a lot. Well, there's one thing. I'm sleeping too damn late. When you get accustomed like four or five o'clock and you wake up at 630, you lose. You're losing hours. You know what I mean? It's a thing. But there's something about it.

[00:17:37] There's something about this monotonous hum where the clock is just winding down. You know what I mean? It's not good. It's not good at all. So look for that. Fourth of July, you'll have common sense. We'll do the whole common sense thing. You know, the literal book. The book is read on air by a LibriVox speaker, and he does a great job with it.

[00:18:04] It's just something to put in the background and have running the whole day. It's history. It's our personal take on the holiday. A little bit of history wrapped in that. It's the drum and fife, the continental singers, the different speeches from different people. And, you know, it's exactly what I wanted. You know, sometimes in life, in order to get exactly what you want, you have to make it yourself. That's mostly my life. You know what I mean?

[00:18:35] So let's talk about this ghost phone, okay? Because I think we're going to start our ghost phone journey together after the holiday. I was going to release my first video on it this week. And then, you know, from what I've seen out of people this week, it's like nobody's really. I got like 80% of people's attention at best. Probably more like 60. But I've got a link in the description down below. Buddies of ours who have pushed me and pushed me to get into the ghost phone.

[00:19:04] And what I have in my hands now is a Google Pixel. I think it's a 6 or something like that, right? It's a great phone. I mean, in terms of phones. Oh, look. You can see Johnny 5. Hey, Johnny. How's it going, buddy? You've been doing me well, Johnny. You see his little... You see how he's got the googly eyes on him? I think Firewolf Forge told me to put the googly eyes on him. Really, they should sell them like that. It's way cooler. He's got like the Baymax eyes.

[00:19:34] See? I am Baymax. So this is the Google Pixel. I think it's the 6. I'm pretty sure. There's a link down below, okay? I want to take this journey slow. And I want to take it with you. And we're going to do it on social media. And we're going to do it on here. And we're going to talk about it. Because I personally want to take it slow. Like, I'm not going to throw this thing on Patriot Mobile or on some kind of cell service and start using it right off the bat. We're going to take it slow. We're going to activate it together. Do that kind of stuff.

[00:20:05] And, yeah. And do the thing. But do it right. Do it slow so that it makes sense. Because it's probably the way of the future, to be honest with you. It's probably the way of the future. And what we're doing with this ghost phone, for those of you who have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Look at that light in my face. Hello. This is just a phone that's not going to have Google on it. It's not going to have anything on it that can track me when I don't want to be tracked.

[00:20:33] That can listen to me when I don't want to be listened to and so on. You know what I'm saying? That's the whole motivation here. Is to have a phone that is actually what a phone used to be. You know what I mean? A thing that you could carry, that could improve your life, that could give you access to people. That is what it is. You know what I mean? It's just one of those things that so many things in the prepping community are ahead of their time.

[00:21:03] Way ahead. I mean, I've seen things as much as 10 years ahead of the time. You know? And this is just another one of those things. You're going to hear about the ghost phone if you haven't already. You're going to hear me talk about it. You're going to see me put mine together and show you how it works and all that kind of stuff. If you want to do it with me, like I said, the Mark 37 link down below is where you get the phones. The Google 6 right now is super cheap.

[00:21:31] I think they're selling them for like, and it's not super cheap in like any terms, but super cheap and super cheap in cell phone terms. I think they're selling them on discount for $4.50, which you go get a new cell phone today. You're talking $1,000. And I'm pretty sure that's what I got here. I got to verify that. But you're going to see this pop up. You're going to see this whole thing, you know, pop up and take over where people are going to say, I need to be de-Googled. Like, I need my space, Google.

[00:21:59] Google, you're up my ass all the time. You're sending me ads. You're sending me this. You're sending me that. You're tracking this. You're tracking that. I remember the first time I got my Google activity report. This is, I don't even think they should send this out. It's so creepy. They send, I turned it off, but it's never turned off, so it doesn't matter. No, I didn't turn it off because I knew it didn't matter.

[00:22:24] But they send, sometimes Google will send you this Google activity report or travel activity report or whatever it is. And it's a map that shows you everywhere you went last month. And then even better than that, it shows you where you go most of the time. So I take my kids to school every day. Imagine what number one is on my Google activity map, right? Oh, where do you go the most? Oh, look at that.

[00:22:52] So, you know, it is nefarious what's going on. It's convenience masquerading as nefarity. Is that a thing? So, yeah. Like I said, Mark 37 is now working with Patriot Mobile also, which is pretty cool. This is all in reverse, so it's not going to help you. But if you want to take that journey, if you want your own ghost phone,

[00:23:17] you want to learn how to put apps on a phone without putting Google on your phone and have a real legitimate cell phone without Google, you know, hunting you down every second of every day, take this journey with me. Okay. I've done nothing to this phone yet. It's not even charged. Well, it probably is charged, but it's definitely not charged all the way. I want to do it with you. We're going to do it together. And, yeah, thanks to Mark 37 for pushing and pushing and pushing. They must have talked to Jordan.

[00:23:46] They must have said, Jordan, how do you get this guy to do anything? You know, what do you got to do? We want to... Anyhow, it is what it is. Last but not least on today's broadcast, I don't know how many of you know Breezy Can. Okay. But Breezy Can has been a long-term supporter, long-time member here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:24:10] And we are having a friendly race over at YouTube to see who can get to 1,000 followers first. Okay. We're both new-ish to YouTube. I'm not new to YouTube, but I had to start over on YouTube. And she does really fun chicken and homestead-related content. Her YouTube channel is Salvage Valley Homestead. Okay. Salvage Valley Homestead.

[00:24:40] What I'd like for you guys to do over the weekend, over the long weekend, is just go find Prepper Broadcasting Network on YouTube and follow us. And then go find Salvage Valley Homestead over at YouTube and follow them. This just came up on our Countdown to Midnight cast. She was in the chat room, as you said. Let's have a friendly race to 1,000 and see who gets there first. You know what I mean? So I'm interested. I'm interested to see what's what. You know what I mean? Firewolf Forge.

[00:25:10] Yeah, you can get service anywhere. But, you know, they're big, nasty, crazy corporations, too. So if you're trying to ghost phone, you probably want to go Patriot or something smaller and less connected that world. But you can turn it on with whatever service you want. Yeah. Your service is your call. Everything's your call with the ghost phone. It's just like you're making a... Well, you know what it really is?

[00:25:40] It's a different operating system. So it's not the Google operating system. It's called Graphene OS. And it has its own operating system. And it's outside of Google. But you can turn it on any way you want. You can, you know, hook it up to whatever you want. That whole thing. And, yeah. Yeah, that's the deal. So, anyhow. YouTube. Prepper Broadcasting Network. Give us a follow over there if you haven't. Right? And I don't know if you need to bother to put the notification bell on.

[00:26:08] Because Firewolf rolls in here on YouTube every day and says, They don't tell me shit. I didn't know there was a show on. Right? And that's that. And Salvage. Salvage Valley Homestead. Go give them a follow, too. See who can get to 1,000 followers first. It should be a tight race, strangely enough. Because we don't get a ton of followers over at YouTube.

[00:26:34] And those guys are posting great stuff with chickens and different DIY projects. And fun little shorts. And they're definitely less bristly than we are. You know what I mean? So, all that being said, folks. I'm going to get out of here. I do appreciate you all. Thanks so much for everything. The promo code B2 is going all through the holiday if you want to become a member.

[00:26:59] Or if you want to get from your membership, your monthly, your annual, whatever membership you have and get into a lifetime one payment. 25% off membership. 25% off lifetime membership. It's big savings. Promo code B2. I'll run it all through the weekend for you guys. If you want to celebrate with a new membership or a membership upgrade, feel free. You'd certainly make my holiday. I can tell you that much. And tell your friends. You know? This thing is inevitable. I'm telling you right now.

[00:27:28] I just finished up this morning. It's 7 in the morning. I did a members-only podcast about artificial intelligence, automation, and you. And how, you know, what you got to do. What's coming. What, you know, what that revolution is. And how it's already affecting people and what it's going to look like. And the leg up that you will have if you're prepared and prepping and all those kinds of things. So, if you're a member, go check the members-only podcast out.

[00:27:58] That's out every Thursday. And it's usually one of these deep dives on some kind of an issue like that or some kind of prep or something along those lines. So, I thank you guys, man. You know, it's the day before the 4th of July. It's been a rough haul for the commander these last few weeks, man. And, you know, I can't impress upon you enough what a privilege it is to not only do a podcast.

[00:28:27] You know what I mean? Not only write for a living and do a podcast for a living. But to come here and to hang with you guys and the folks that show up every time I'm live and chat and watching. One of the things about being on social media is you get to see things grow in different ways. And we're seeing that start to happen. And it's, I don't know, you know. It's a wonderful life as the movie title goes.

[00:28:54] And, you know, it's a wonderful life outside of the strange metrics that we've agreed upon make a wonderful life this day and age. Do you know what I mean? It's like I'm not going out and getting in a Lamborghini later. But I'm telling you, it's a beautiful life because of what you've helped me achieve and what we've come up with here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Because of the incredible hosts here as well, you know. I see you, Jay Fergie.

[00:29:25] And that's it for me. I'll pop on tomorrow at some point. I'll interrupt this regularly scheduled programming and wish you a happy 4th of July because, you know, it is about the best holiday there is. And shame on these weak-kneed bastards in California. What kind of yellow-bellied shit is going on on the West Coast where you cancel 4th of July?

[00:29:54] You would have to fly nuclear bombers over my head from another country. In fact, that would only embolden me to fire more fireworks off. I can't even think of a situation where it would make sense to cancel 4th of July celebrations. In fact, I don't even think they did it during COVID. Pity. Pity, pity, pity. Pity, Gavin Newsom, if you ever thought you were ever going to run for president, dude, you need to get that shit out of your head. Because this is the final nail in the coffin. That's all I can tell you, you know.

[00:30:25] It's just the weakest thing I've ever seen. It's the pettiest thing I've ever seen. You want to hand over a victory to America's enemies, California? You're doing it. We'll make sure tomorrow that we set enough fireworks off to make up for these losers on the West Coast. I'll talk to you guys soon. Don't forget to tune in to the 4th of July special. It'll be on all day live streaming. Thanks for supporting the Prepper Broadcasting Network, folks.

[00:30:55] See you.
