Hi folks, Jack Spirco here.

Today, you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial-free versions of past episodes.

Podcasts blasts from the pasts.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds,

but will be titled

TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we are rewinding back to April the 11th, 2018, and you might wonder why

you're getting a rewind today.

We could talk about elections.

We could talk about homesteading stuff and ignore the

elections. There's a lot of stuff we could be talking about. I woke up this morning though and I started

planning a show and I realized that there is one thing above all things that have come out of this election

that I'm grateful for.

And that's that Ross Ulbright, who has been in prison since 2013 for the heinous crime of building a website, and that's really what it comes down to.

Yet, 2013, 11 years this man's been in federal prison on lockdown almost all day long every day of his life

and it was probably about i'm going to say 2015 or 16 the first time that i met lynn illbrite

and i told my wife this morning that I remember meeting her.

And I remember realizing who she was.

And I gave her a hug.

And I felt like I was hugging the most broken human I have ever met in my life.
