## Resource

In this episode, the crew addresses the political chaos within the Libertarian Party following recent conventions, highlighting Otto's controversial business-casual dress code proposal, internal spending disputes, and the sudden removal of Otto and Ben from the social media team over anti-war posts regarding Israel and Ukraine. The hosts review their independent $44,000 "Enemies of the State Bash" and challenge Austin Petersen’s pro-war arguments before shifting to broader "Clown World" issues. Finally, they critique Bernie Sanders' and AOC's proposed AI data center moratorium as a state-grab for narrative control, warn against the stealthy rise of local "Flock" surveillance cameras and 2027 mandated car kill switches, and debate the logistical realities of building off-grid hydro, solar, and wind power systems to escape the digital grid. ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !!
