Red Beacon Daily News 8.20.2026 US DEBT HITS $40 TRILLION

Red Beacon Daily News, August twenty at twenty twenty six, we are back from a long stretch of travel, Prepper camp, so on, so forth. Happy to be with you. Big story, not a good one. National debt reaches forty trillion dollar milestone. The national debt could cross the fifty trillion mark by twenty thirty. This is historic. It's been about three months into federal government's de hit thirty nine trillion. Wrap your head around that. It's been about three months since the federal government's debt hit thirty nine trillion, and here we are at forty trillion dead held by the public's around thirty two point two trillion, and intra governmental holdings are closed to seven point eight trillion. Hitting this milestone comes firmly ahead of the congressional budget off the Congression, the Congressional Budget Office, the whole thing should be abolished. What what is the core you have a Congressional budget office with a forty trillion dollar debt? Is that that's like something out of a joke, that's like a punchline. That's stand up comedy. That is stand up comedy, right. Congressional Budget Offices baseline estimate of twenty twenty seven and congressional budget. All you want to slash something out of government, immediately start there. Start. I want to thank the Epic Times for having a wonderful website that I pay for to view, and I don't mind paying to view it whatsoever because of the fact that there's no ads. So, yes, we're indebted. We're indebted forty trillion dollars. Maybe maybe we are, I don't know, are we really? Are we really indebted forty trillion dollars? Because how many trillions does the government take from the American people every single year in taxes? Hundreds of billions trillions, but we never seem to put it towards the debt. Trump's made a lot of money, trillions, trillions in investment, doesn't seem to be put towards the debt. So we can't pay it off. And so the way I look at it, right, we can't. I can't. I don't know how to make a payment to the national debt. How do you force Congress, how do you force the executive branch, the president to make a payment on the on the national debt. I will just pay the interest, Okay. I have a feeling that's not a long term strategy for success. If you want to mitigate that, then you know, tune into the Prepper broadcasting network. We can only do so much here on Red Beacon Daily News. We have our priorities. Two topics that are absolutely fire, Flock cameras and AI. Let's do it. You're AI assistant here. We've got a bit of a new news situation. So over here at giz Modo, a website that I don't pay for to view, and it shows because there's ads and videos in this and that horrible. Flock's new AI tool does much more than track license plates. A Wired investigation found that cops can search for vehicles and their drivers using prompts describing location, time, and pattern of movement. Controversial surveillance technology company Flock Safety has long insisted that its automated license plate readers can't recognize or track people's faces, but they may as well be able to thanks to the new AI tool, which can reportedly identify vehicles and their drivers based on several other variables. Tool called os Investigate, is currently being tested with a small group of law enforcement agencies, according to a Wednesday report from Wired, using the code found on the Flock website's login portal, wired reporters, and an independent insecurity and privacy researcher who goes by the pseudonym Bukodi. We're able to reconstruct a mock up of the experimental tools interface without being able to access it directly. So, okay, I gotta dance. I gotta do a little dance here. Here's what I do know. Halloween is fast approaching, and from the looks of things, the flock camera situation around the United States might not be as much of a situation going forward. You follow me, it just doesn't seem like that's gonna be much of an issue. I have a feeling that, well, we'll just have to wait and see. I'm leave it at that. You're gonna hear a lot more about it, trust me in the if you haven't already, in the weeks and the months to come. But something tells me by early November, flock will probably have a lot of new business, but they won't be utilizing the AI technology in early November. But you know, we have to address the intrusiveness of privacy and survey or the intrusiveness of surveillance on our privacy in the public space. Here we have to address the fact that Atlanta is now using police dogs to roam around the streets, police robot dogs to roam around the streets. At the end of the day, folks, we have to hang on to our no. We have to hold on to our ability to say no. Okay, that's the whole thing, that's the whole shooting match. As my father in law used to say, Doctor Prepper Medical I ran into Tom with doctor Prepper, let's do a little let's do a little prepper tech, because that's what this is. This is prepper tech at its finest. As you know, I like to deliver you U a prepper Tech segment. It's not always something I've tried or something I've done. It's something for you to look into. Sometimes it's something I've used or done. But I ran into the doctor Prepper at Prepper Camp, which was a wonderful time, by the way, and he showed me his stack system pro which as a medical doctor, you put together this amazing system. He put them together, this amazing color coded system with color coded books, color coded gear to really sort of simplify the big scary world of medical preparedness. Now it comes at a at a price tag it is an investment, but it's an investment. I think that will it'll give you confidence, you know what I mean, It'll give you and it'll give you everything you need should things get wonky, And how are things not gonna get wonky in the very near future. One of the most interesting things about Prepper Camp now is that we have it in one of the greatest natural disaster areas in the country. It's kind of creepy how that worked. It's kind of creepy how we had prepper camp for years and years and years and it was just this in this quiet little place in the Appalachian Mountains western North Carolina. But now we have prepper Camp in a place where the surrounding people have gone through a history or event like nothing we'll ever see again, probably, right, And sort of the ethos of the baseline prepper is you're on your own, no one's coming to help. And it's so interesting that that we now have people who have lived that, right, they have lived that, and that's wild. It's just why. And so now it's just an interesting thing to have a kit like this in the worst of times. This is a peace of mind investment, that's what it really is you know what I mean. But it's because it's knowing that I pulled the Red Book in the red box, look through the red book for the answer. The red box has everything I need within the Red Book. It's just a perfect well organized designed by a real doctor, Tom, a great guy, great family. I met them all. They seem like awesome people who know their stuff, and uh, just thrilled, man, It's just thrilled to be able to show it to you. So check out doctor preppermedical dot com and see if you like that stack system pro because it's uh, you can tell he took a lot of time to put it together and a lot of thought and it it's purpose built, you know, to make medical easier. So see if that's something you're into. So to wrap things up here, folks, we're gonna do uh, we're gonna do something that some of you are going to like and some of you are going to hate. Because it's August and this won't be the last you hear of this poem. But I don't know, just it's just something I want to do, you know, just what I want to do today. This is from Keats, John Keats, and I don't know about you I do hear that there's a cold snap coming. I do hear that there is a cold winter ahead and cold temperatures coming in the near future, and then we'll all be talking about autumn. But John Keats is owed to autumn in this poem titled to Autumn. It's just wonderful, man, you know, I I guess in some sense. Oh no, I can't talk about this on this podcast. But just take it from me. Okay. If I bring you a poem, take some time to appreciate it. Don't skip, don't close out, Like even if you're wearing your night vision goggles right now, with your AR fifteen packed away in your truck, Like, just take a minute to enjoy this, okay, because there's a reason I'm here doing this, and that's kind of what I know. We're not going to read the whole thing. It's like, it's not very long. I can't promise you I won't read the whole thing. Actually I may. I've got something coming up here in twelve minutes. So two Autumn John Keats, Red Beacon Daily News, Season of Mists and mellow Fruitfulness. Close Bosom, friend of the Maturing Sun, conspiring with him how to load and bless with fruit the vines that round the thatchieves run to bend with apples the mossed cottage trees, and fill all the fruit with ripeness to the core to swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells with a sweet kernel, to set budding more and still more later flowers for the bees, until they think warm days will never cease, for summer has overbrimmed their clammy shells. Who hath not seen thee off amid thy store, Sometimes whoever seeks abroad, may find thee sitting carelessly on a granary floor, my soft hair, soft lifted by the winnowing wind, or on a half reaped furrow, sound asleep, drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook spares the next swathe and all its twined flowers. And sometimes, like a gleaner, thou dost keep steady thy laden head across a brook, or by a cider press, with patient look, thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours, And there is one more stanza, but we're gonna end it there. When autumn is in full effect, we'll read the whole thing. Okay, that's what we'll do. Thank you so much, folks for joining us. Glad to be back, Red Beak
