Red Beacon Daily News 06.29.2026 INTOLERABLE ACTS

Red Beagan Daily News. Folks welcome in June twenty nine, twenty twenty six, Who've got some invocations happening in the United States. Trump invokes Defense Production Act as US moves to rebuild weapons stockpiles. Trump administration seeking a major increase in defense spending while simultaneously using executive authority to accelerate weapons production, reflecting growing concern over US munition's inventories after the war with Iran. According to NBC, to neglect to mention the war and know all the munitions that went to Ukraine, who was seemingly turned the tide against Russia, which is it's a story I can't wait to really read all about, you know what I mean. I can't wait to find out just what went into Ukraine in order to give them the wherewithal to stop and now push back and even consider, you know, making forrimea untenable for the Russians. Defense Secretary p Xeff met with the Senate Republicans this week to rally support for proposed three hundred and fifty billion defense package, much of which would be directed toward replenishing missile and weapons stockpiles. According to NBC, John Cornan said the Pentagon is quote running short of funding, and they need funding they need in order to acquire the weapons of missiles and things like that that they need to protect the nation. So Trump invoked the UH the Defense Production Act, And I mean that largely means put your money into Northropingum running, put your money into the into the munitions makers and the warmongers, because they're gonna get billions. They're gonna get three hundred and fifty billion. So the beat goes on, you know, the beat goes on. I mean, you know American dominance in the Western hemisphere. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take the wolf Venezuela, I'll take Cuba. It's not pretty. But in the long game, which which nation would you rather have control of the oil? Which nation would you rather have control of the Western Hemisphere. We like to make believe that everybody will get along and do the right thing. Doesn't work that way, right, Mexico's basically run by cartels. Our southern neighbor, another northern neighbor is run by some amalgamation of China and woke left wing lunatics. So we had to you got to consider this stuff. When you look at the military moves at the United States are moving. Nobody wants to see war. Nobody wants to see battleships floating. I mean, I don't mind seeing battleships floating across the oceans, to be honest with you, but you don't want to see it this some people getting blown up by missiles. Nobody wants to see that, rockets, bombs, the whole thing. They surrounding nations taking you know, damage because of war that I ran, you know, brought upon themselves fundamentally we decided to go over there, and you know, we can argue about that too, But the reality is, if Central America had a strong, democratic, freedom loving leadership, if Mexico wasn't completely infected by drug cartels and human traffickers all the way into the highest levels of government, if Canada was in some degree sane, then I don't think America we get as involved. The whole problem with America. First in America. Only in America. You know, we are self sustaining for the most part, but we can't have enemies. Just wolves just slowly move in all around us. I mean, if you want to know the big sort of the big picture, the big story, why why are we going to Iran, Why we go to Venezuela. Why are we going to go to Cuba? Why are we yelling about Greenland? Why are we? You know what I mean? That's the story, right, The story is. You can have your little homestead. You can have your little urban homestead. You can have your chickens, you can have your gardens, you can have your guns, you can have your drones, whatever you have. But if the outside world keeps getting darker and darker and darker, and worse elements move in, you have to take action, you know what I mean. For the most part, people move when things get that way. But you know, you can't move a nation. You know, it's a big picture. It's a big picture. If you're at all interested in the big picture. Trump needs more bombs and weapons and so on, and that's why you might not like it. I don't like it. I don't like three hundred and fifty billion dollars going into that, But it is what it is. What would you prefer? What would you prefer? Would you prefer in twenty years to have the Chinese lining up soldiers on the northern border. Would you prefer Mexico to just dissolve completely into a narco state that we have to deal with with our border patrol and our military. Would you rather China or Russia build a base in Venezuela and in ten fifteen years they can launch weapons that can have drones forget about weapons, rocket propelled drones like Russia's using now to hit California hours. What do you want? You know what I mean, what do you want? Maybe not even hours, five hundred miles an hour, those things can go, so, I don't know, you know, I think Americans largely have become so accustomed to paying their way out of problems and letting other people handle their problems while they sit safely in their home that the scope and the real downstream effects of things like war and territory and borders lost on a lot of people, you know what I mean, just straight up lost on a lot of people. It was a very interesting turn of events and a new sound bite for eyes on as you're a I assisted here, we've got a bit of ash situation. I wasn't in love with the first iteration of the music I pulled from the Terminator soundtrack, so that one is much better. I don't know if that was loud enough though, But I do have my volume turned down from the Epic Times today. Oh, by the way, the first story came from future danger dot com, the one and only from the Epic Times Today? Can we have our humans back? Companies rethinking AI industry insiders and CEOs explain the hidden price tag and in some cases buyers remorse associated with trading real workers for AI agents. One of the things that this is like a dark piece of humanity. But one of the things I thought about was, once your organization is full of artificial intelligence, you can't do two things that most people hate about work, but I think some people really love, particularly managers. You can't yell at anybody when things go wrong, right, You can't discipline, You can't you know the other thing, you can't have meetings. If my workforce is ninety percent AI. All right, let's let's put our heads to the other and solved this problem. Get in a meeting room, spend an hour and a half in a meeting room, you and your laptop. Pashion it over with Grock. The artificial intelligence revolution may not be eliminating human jobs as quickly as some feared. Rising computing costs, operational headaches and inconsistent results are prompting some companies to change course and bring workers back. It's a hard lesson learned in the throes of the early AI boom, in which Bold claims a big savings have enticed many businesses to downsize their staff. Many industry professionals now say that roles requiring sound judgment, creativity, creativity now listen creativity, customer interaction, and quality control needs keep humans in the driver's seat. A Career Mind survey of six hundred human resources professionals who'd made layoffs in the previous twelve months revealed that nine out of ten companies would rethink their AI related terminations a big deal. Six hundred human resource professionals were interviewed they'd made layoffs in the previous twelve months and revealed that nine out of the ten companies would rethink their AI related terminations. Three out of four HR professionals who took to survey confirmed their organizations sacked employees due to technological advancements that replaced roles and responsibilities, but only eight point four percent said AI delivered the promised results only eight percent wild. The COO of Stealth Agents, James Callaway, is quoted saying over the past twelve months, we've seen a noticeable uptick in companies coming to us after pausing or scaling back AI tool rollouts. Calloway's company provides executive level virtual assistance, an area where the cost difference between human workers and AI agents is stark. Right, so callaway give you a real person and a lot of these people, I guess thought, we can. We can, you know, boot, we can boot the current virtual assistant, right the basically a person that works from home and books all your stuff, where you does all your stuff, where you maybe manages your social media, that kind of stuff. We can. We can boot the virtual assistance and just throw in an AI prompt or throwing an AI thing, and it'll be just the same, and they'll save us a lot of money because we won't have to pay a smelly human. So, you know, not everything's coming up, Roses is what it is. We got some good news out of Snapchat, interesting good news out of Snapchat. The CEO, Evan Spiegel and Miranda Kerr erase five and fifty million in medical debt for two hundred and sixty one Californians. It's a beautiful story. It is it's a beautiful story. Two hundred and sixty one thousand people had their medical debt erased by the Snapchat CEO and his wife. They dumped five hundred and fifty million dollars of their own money into just that, wiping out the debt of normal people. That's the whole story. I mean, there's more details about where and all that kind of stuff. But the CEO of Undo Medical Debt called the gift truly astonishing and highlighted how it unburdens families with addressing a crisis that undermines health care access, economic stability, and mental health. She noted that no one should face bankruptcy over cancer. I have to choose between insulin and food, you know that old thing. But it's uh, yeah, you don't get a lot of news out of social media. That's good, you know what I mean, So I'll take that one. I don't know how many hundreds of millions King Lizard Faceburg has put into any anything like that. Not that I'm trying to figure out who's the best social media CEO or whatever owner. I don't even know if he's the see is he the CEO is is Zuckerberg? The CEO or is he like the what is he? I don't know. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. So what else do we want to get into today? This week? This week, we're gonna do something a little different at the end of the shows. Okay, we're gonna do some American history. We're gonna do some American history, some Revolutionary War history, some you know, Independence Day history, because I think it's important that we talk about this stuff. And then there's a great week leading up to the fourth of July to talk about it. One of the things that at this moment right, one of the things I believe more than anything is our tax burden is way too high. It needs to come down. It has to come down. It's simply too high for the average American. It's too high. It's crazy. My kids and my wife were talking about the Mega millions, and I don't really buy lottery tickets, but I did tell my kid, if it gets up to five hundred million, then we'll go buy tickets for the Mega millions. Right, I don't know, just one of those things. And in talking about we're talking about the amount of money and then we had to explain to our kids. And that's not the first time, but we had to explain to them again how the government takes, you know, between twenty four and forty eight percent of your winnings right off the top for what, for nothing, just because because they're a government they can. This is insane. Right for those of you who get bonuses at work, you know what that is, right, forty to fifty whatever, depend on where you live, big chunky bonus. You get a bonus. The government just goes, oh, hey, we got a bonus. Did you were you where? Did you know we got a bone? We got a bonus. I think about the Intolerable Acts of seventeen seventy four, and I'm always wondering, and you know, these were sort of a uh well, a repercussion of the seventeen seventy three Boston Tea Party, right, and they dumped a ton of the East India Company's tea into the harbor in protest. Which is funny because never until I really thought about that and reread the Intolerable Acts did I start to think like we were not. The American Revolution was not just against the king, but it was also against the Corporation. Hey, the Boston Port Act one of the four main if you don't count the Quebec Act, but one of the four main intolerable acts was that the Boston Harbor was closed to all commercial traffic until the East India Company was compensated for the destroyed tea and the order was restored. It devastated Boston's economy and punished, you know, everybody, even though not everybody was involved in dumping the tea. But when you think about that for a minute, that's interesting, right, because the story behind the Boston Tea Party was really well, what it really was, it's kind of interesting. What it really was was a monopoly that was given to the British East India Company to cut the middleman out of the tea game and delivered ty straight to the US. Now in that time, you know, the real if you want to be real and honest about it, like what we were smugglers aka probably just Americans out there on the seas. We were getting involved in the theft of t We were buying in cheaper Dutch ta, right And I'm sorry, no, we were. We were the middlemen and we were also kind of smugglers, right, But the middlemen did. Yeah, they did bring in cheaper Dutch ta. And what happened with the what was it called the uh something expired there was there was an some kind of moratorium that expired from the early or the late It started in the late sixteen seventeen sixties, and the East India Company then all of a sudden got the ability to sell direct to the colonies, and it created this whole situation, right. But moreover, we were doing we were doing a little bit bad, and we were out there smuggling, we were out there, but we had a we were building a tea industry in the colonies that all of a sudden was pretty much gutted. It was like a it was like a Walmart showed up that sold tea, except the Walmart was Chinese, you know what I mean, but in this case British. But you know what I'm saying. So we did, you know, amongst other things that were going on, we had already experienced the other big problems with the Brits and they enacted the Boston Port Act and shut the port down on us to make sure the corporation got its money back for the tea that we tossed overboard. This was followed up by the Massachusetts Government Act. Right. The law effectively nullified the Colonies Charter, placing Massachusetts under direct royal control. So it took the basically took us. Took the colony of Massachusetts and said, nah, this is this is royal now. Right. It replaced elected local officials or appointees of the royal governor, limited town meetings to once per year unless approved by the governor, and transferred most governmental appointments to the crown, undermining self governance. So I took Massachusetts basically turned it into an arm of the king. Right, think about Democrat rule right now, think about it. We've just talked about them shutting down ports, the ANTIFA group who was just exposed one of the things they were doing with shutting down parts. When they roll into a state and turn it blue, right, that state becomes fundamentally like what my state's struggling against in Virginia, becomes an arm of the left wing radicals. So it's what it is. You're gonna notice some things about these intolerable acts are happening to the average American person who is not overly political and insane. Administration of Justice Act was the Third Intolerable Act, and it was basically, you know, we're going to create our own We can take capital crimes, move them to another place and assure that the favorable treatment is given to the British officials who are accused of capital crimes. Right. So, in other words, rather than a jury of your peers right where the crime happened, they move it to maybe Massachusetts, where the it crowns in control of anything everything. Rather the best example of this right now is sharia law. Right. But how far away are we if the country gets blue enough, how far away are we from this being the norm? Right? A Quartering Act allowed governors to requisition on occupied buildings to house British troops. This one, you might think like, I don't know, I don't see the I don't see the similarities to today, Right, what governor's requisition on occupied buildings to house British troops? Well, think about this way. And I don't want to make it seem like every Democrat is at war with the United States, but I do think there's a lot of Democrats that are at war with the United States. I'm just saying, right, our way of life, our patriotism, our flag, our president are the way, our way of life, our culture, our history. You know what I mean when if you live in a city, or if you live in even even a town that has that had industry. Here in Richmond, Virginia, massive tobacco industry, the tobacco warehouses were renovated, remodeled, turned into high density living, turned into apartments and condos that were filled by whom Yankees like me who came down from the north, people who were going to college in the area, transplants, and largely people who want to vote Democrat. Right, So, if governors are allowed to requisition on occupy by buildings or however you want to look at it, modern age governors approve of this type of housing in an area. I was listening to a story today from Dana lash about her little town in Texas being taken over by condos in apartments and it's gonna basically take her big old conservative town that they worked really hard to keep nice and beautiful and kind of wreck it. I think she's I think it's over. I don't think she's gonna win. I hope that she wins. But it's a very similar sort of situation. Right, if we can build condos and apartments in an area, and thement government approves it and says, yeah, sure. Bringing all these extra people change the demographic, change the dynamic, change the politics, change everything. It smells like the Quartering Act. Right. If you get a big population of America hating liberals, left wing Democrat voters that show up in your town that is, you know, patriotic to some degree or maybe even moderate, maybe even just middle of the road, and everybody's happy. And now all of a sudden you have what would it be called, you have a resistance state. You all of a sudden have it, you know what I mean? Then you got problems. The Quebec Act, although not exactly punitive, the Quebec Act was passed in the same legislative session and extended the boundaries of Quebec into the Ohio County, branding rights to the French Catholics. Colin has perceived it as favoring Catholic interest over their own, and often including it among the intolerable acts. So these were the four intolerable acts that led to, you know, basically the war revolutionary war at large, and well. The reason I brought these up, numero uno, is because I want you to think about them. I'm always interested in the triggers. I'm always interested in what was intolerable. I'm always interested in taxation without representation. I live in a taxation without representation situation right now. A lot of Americans live in a taxation without representation situation, and perhaps we need a conflagration, you know what I mean. Think about it, Think about it. We're not going to be, you know, as eccentric with all the history, but the intolerable acts are always very interesting me because of that. They always make me think if the founders were to look on the country right now, would there be four intolerable acts or forty? The birth of the nation is coming two hundred and fifty years.
