## Resource

In this episode, the crew kicks things off with beer at a PTA meeting before pivoting to the "nothing ever happens" news of the aborted Iran strike and the Pentagon Pizza Watch. We break down the showdown between Jerome Powell and the DOJ over the $3.1 billion Federal Reserve renovation and the looming threat of tokenized assets. The conversation shifts to the surveillance state, aggressive ICE tactics using "federal immunity," and the U.S. government's renewed hostile takeover attempt of Greenland. Finally, we mock the $1.5 trillion military budget and the Space Force grift. ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !! Buy our shirt at libertariancountry.com and enter code PRL to save 10%!
