Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro. And in the midst of his story, one of my friends turned to the other and said, we don't know how lucky we are. And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are. I had some place to escape to. And in that sentence, he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to.

This is the last stand on earth. This is the last stand on earth. The last stand on earth SILENT PRAGUE ¶¶ You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com. Patriot Power Hour, we are back. It is live.

It is the 15th of November, and it's the 247th episode of Patriot Power Hour. I'm Ben the Breaker at Banksters here with future Dan. Future Dan, mid-November, not as much news as we've seen in the past, but still a lot to talk about and still a while to go to finish out the year. We'll see what happens. Yeah, some of those columns, economics and security, although we know all kinds of things are going on, there's just not headlines this week.

No, not as much. It doesn't mean we're not, you know, people aren't feeling the effects of headlines from last week or last month or even last year. But as we talk about often here in Patriot Power Hour, especially during the news blitz our patented news blitz in the second segment we really try to focus on what's actually occurring now what's in the headlines now and it's relatively light again a few big articles we'll get into in the second part of the show but but certainly a lower rated frequency and severity compared to normal.

So the inflation indicator on future danger, you know, implicit in the title is that, you know, inflation is skyrocketing, right? It's not skyrocketing anymore. It's still high. It's still bad. It's just not skyrocketing anymore. Yes, and that's a lagging indicator generally so if they're finally saying well inflation's peaked it's gone down and we're getting near

the two percent per year federal reserve target and i won't even go down a rabbit hole about if that's legit or not or good or not but let's just say that if they think inflation's abated already then it you know it certainly has because that's a lagging indicator and what does that mean on one hand it's good inflation at least won't be double digits hopefully going forward but uh what happens when what's causing this inflation to go down? There could be a few reasons it's happening. And one of them could be that a big recession or even the D word, depression, could be on the horizon. And not to mention World War.

So if those occur, well, let's just just say as i've said before the federal reserve is going to have to cut rates all the way back to zero maybe negative again uh so we might have seen peak interest rates we may have so there's terms inflation deflation and disinflation yeah the last one often confuses people. Could you sort those terms out for us? Let's see if I can pass my test here. Well, disinflation is a slowing rate of inflation, whereas deflation is a reduction in asset prices.

Would that pass the test? And inflation is things are more expensive yeah yeah so so if things were raised you know inflation was 10 per year like it has been if not more last couple years then if it goes to four percent per year that's still inflation you know it's still four percent still price is going up but it's slowed down quite a lot that's the disinfl you know it's still four percent still prices going up but it's slowed down quite a lot that's the disinflation but it's not going negative prices aren't rolling back we ain't rolling back prices like walmart here not at all so it's not deflation yet but there's a massive crash in the stock market in uh real estate, whether it's commercial, residential, otherwise.

That could change that, and it could be deflation. And deflation's actually as scary, if not scarier, than inflation. So don't be just hoping we get deflation necessarily. It could be a sign of something worse coming. necessarily, it could be a sign of something worse coming. Well, deflation couldn't happen without massive wealth destruction and just bankruptcies, right? I mean, when things are costing less, you know, the goods and services are being produced by the most efficient of the most efficient firms that are somehow

surviving the deflation, but most can't, and therefore massive unemployment could only accompany deflation, unless you could describe a scenario where it could be done soft landing style. Well, there are many variables involved. And so that's why the Fed and all the Harvard and Oxford and Cambridge type of economists around the world think that they are able to engineer with their equations and determine how to have a soft landing right how to get the best of both worlds and kind of thread the needle because it's the you know 21st century we're smart enough to figure

this out and the fed and everybody the banksters my best friends they're smart enough they have enough power where they can steer this ship and I definitely call shenanigans on that, but that's definitely their cover story, to say the least. But going back real quick, yeah, deflation, maybe prices go down 10%, but if your income's cut by 60% because you lost your job or your spouse lost their job, hey, just because prices went down. During that period of unemployment. Exactly, yeah, prices are down a little bit, hey, just because prices went down. During that period of unemployment. Exactly, yeah. Prices are down a little bit, hey,

but if you lost your job, your income, or your stock portfolio, your pension collapsed and all that, exactly, what you're hinting at is that deflation usually comes because of bankruptcies and people getting laid off, yeah. Can there be any way to deflate prices that didn't accompany massive bankruptcy, firms failing, layoffs, unemployment?

Great question. So this is a little bit idealism, but you could totally bring prices down through technological evolution the simplest way to look at it is televisions and computers in the last 5 10 20 50 years not only are they massively improved but they're actually a lot cheaper uh when i was a kid in the early to mid 90s a brand new pc was like a pretty good one but not the best on the market. It was at least a couple grand. And now you can get pretty darn good ones for modern times for $800, and they're like 5,000 times better than the 90s one.

So my point is there's all types of improvements to supply chains and workflows and people working smarter and more efficiently in a good way. I'm trying to be happy about this, not dystopic. And prices could go down while incomes went up and that would just be awesome. But it takes a long time and it takes actual economic growth, not some fiddling around with interest rates. You can't just create wealth that way and lower prices at the same time. You know, automation, artificial intelligence come with that, right? And I was messing around on ChatGPT, which now has improved features on the subscription model.

And its ability to take directions and create artwork using the doll e model actually had my head spinning when i got deep into it earlier this week what what's possible just now this is going to look primitive it's going to look like commodore 64 type technology before long, right? You know, Commodore 64 was before the Atari 2600. Like, I'm dating myself here, but, like, that's how primitive it is right now, and it's still stunning me what I saw. And if you believe the exponential curves, which have pretty much held true for computing power

and just overall hash rate, whether it's Bitcoin or just overall computing power of the world and supercomputers and the growth over 30, 40, 50 years, geez, by the year 2030, let alone 2050, what AI and all that's going to be able to do, hopefully it'll be great. We could live in a utopia. It's just we humans kind of sometimes get in the way of that.

So it'll be a struggle, but I still think we can come out of it the other end and things could be great. But, man, there's a lot of obstacles in the way. could be great, but man, there's a lot of obstacles in the way. So what else about the economic news recently has you skeptical? Maybe that inflation number in and of itself is a highly false figure. You know, there's been GDP figures down really revised month after month after month after the headline. That stuff's going on, too. Totally.

And truly, that's part of the eggheads at the Fed and the banksters. A big part of their calculus is the behavioral economics and essentially propaganda and how the herd will react and how to ride that wave. So I touched on a little bit of that in my study when I was at Purdue. And it was one of the most fun things was in undergrad at business school, you go and do um business tests it was like scenarios and kind of like game theory you'd be going up against other people and play these little games and get money and i did well pretty like very well and it was way better than going to get like experimental shots at the nursing students no i definitely didn't want to do something like that but long story short it was all about behavioral economics, how people react to stimuli. And so I already kind of had an idea about some of that.

I think some from video games and other gaming, but also just kind of common sense. And I put that all together, and I was super motivated because every dollar counted when you're an undergrad to get beer, right? So I would come out of there with a lot of money. And long story short, it was the PhD students and professors that were studying us. They've been doing this for decades and decades and decades. And as it goes up the pyramid, pun intended, they're definitely manipulating data both ways,

but especially in their favor. So yeah, we'll see what it really looks like here in a few months. I don't expect the cost of living for the average person to go down at any time soon, though. So we are part of Prepper Broadcasting Network. There's no reason to stop prepping based off this. I can tell you that. Real estate might witness a deflation soon yeah and we've talked about the commercial aspect of that for sure

um but but even residential and in certain areas more than others too we're already seeing i was watching some uh you know really guys who try to flip market you know flip housing and stuff so not folks like content creators on youtube that are like us who are saying a lot of this is a scheme and a scam but people who are all in on that and are trying to make money and and whatever and trust the banksters and want to work with them. And they're saying that some markets are starting to fall apart, especially Florida and Dallas and a couple areas out west. But they're also saying it's not spreading and there's a lot of strength in certain areas. We'll see if that pans out.

But that's just the residential i think everyone can agree the commercial real estate screwed malls have been empty for years that was before covid covid just death now for that let alone offices we work which was valued at 60 billion went bankrupt last week so all the all this debt is refinancing at higher rates and a lot of defaults and vacancies that it has to be felt somewhere and it has not shown too much yet so we'll see yeah yeah deflation when it comes to real estate prices is you know there's the opposite side of that is it's you know a loss of someone's personal wealth, right? So deflation seems to me to be entirely possible on the horizon if the other side of the ledger is an average American's life savings

and the biggest thing they own, their home. Yeah, and one of the things, this is the last thing I'll say before we go out to break, listen to a couple sponsors come back, And one of the things, this is the last thing I'll say before we go out to break, listen to a couple sponsors come back, is the banksters are really good about privatizing those victories for themselves and then passing the buck to the taxpayer whenever things go wrong. So that's what I'm seeing here. Anyway, we'll come back with that news blitz.

What do you say? Let's do it. All right. We'll be right back, folks. Anyway, we'll come back with that news blitz. What do you say? Let's do it. All right. We'll be right back, folks. Patriot Power Hour number 247. Stick with us. Now listen from our sponsors.

Patriot Power Hour, we're live, and it's time for that news blitz, November 15th, 2023. Let's run right through it. Start with nature and health. Global decline in sperm concentrations linked to common pesticides. Deadly floods in Somalia. Another incoming CME, coronal mass ejection from the sun. It impacted over the weekend. These are pretty low level, thankfully.

We have a little bit of volcanic activity as well monitoring that we we definitely monitor natural disaster as much as man and you know created by man disaster but thankfully not much going on this week in that bucket we do have chinese scientists creating the chimera monkey that glows green. Economics. Moody's cuts the federal government's AAA rating outlook to negative. Years ago, more than a decade ago, the S&P rating agency cut the federal government's rating by a bit.

Moody's still calls it AAA, but is looking to downgrade the federal government debt. Beef prices hit record high as cattle herd expected to shrink through 2025. 2025. Looking at gold, silver, Bitcoin, pretty flat over the week. Bitcoin had a little run up in the last couple days, up to about $38,000. Gold, $1,960. Silver, about $23, $24. Relatively muted given all the turmoil going on. But we have FBI director confirming that illegal alien terrorists have slipped into the U.S. We also have Atlanta protesters clashing with police over the construction of a training center. But not much else in the security column. Really, it's domestic and very little, actually no foreign security news right now.

CDC caught running two VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Reaction System. There were two of them being, two systems running in parallel, but the public can only access one of them. Why is the question. ATF director says assault weapons ban now on his wish list. Christmas Santa Claus list for ATF director. Assault weapons ban. Not coming to take your guns, of course, though.

Senator moves to force release of Jeffrey Epstein flight logs. And future Dan, that's the news blitz for the day. Yeah, that's dangerous news. It's relatively less than several weeks prior, but the Chinese communist dictator is in San Francisco. We got Ukraine front lines potentially in jeopardy. We got the Israelis occupying the northern part of Gaza in street-to-street combat. The whole world is absolutely in flames rhetorically about that war.

And we got people in Congress physically threatening to assault other people. So plenty of other news occupying America's attention, but all that latter stuff isn't in and of itself dangerous. So it doesn't rate for the heat map news blitzkrieg. Yeah, and it's more of, as any of those threats developed in the past few days? Have there been any new developments that would draw in or threaten, especially U.S., living here in the U.S., from a prepper point of view?

Does it actually pose a threat to you? And I think it's NBC guy, I don't know if he coined this, but he talks about it often, you know, worry more about what's going in your house than the White House, and definitely more than what's going on in, you know, most other parts of the world. So that's true to an extent at least, right? I don't know about that. You know, it's a threat to us know it's a threat to us

it's a threat to you and me us US right well okay my point is like there's no news here

about Ukraine and obviously a lot of people are getting killed there and there might be you know major developments there that you were talking about

but it doesn't affect or threaten the world order more today than a few days ago. Therefore there's nothing on this news blitz about it. Right? Well, that's important.

This is important, you know, discussion to have, you know, zooming out and talking about Patriot power hour and future danger in a very, you know, high level right now. But the entire news dashboard is for dangers to America, our country, us, inside our country, us.

There could be a future danger for, I don't know, Italy or Canada or some patriot of one of those countries wanted to have a dashboard, they would frame it that way. Ours is for our country. Right. Exactly. And that was my poor analogy about the your house compared to the White House compared to the Ukraine front. But that's kind of what I bet, too.

It's like this is American-centric and kind and the reason why is because you and I are Americans. So that's why, not because we're biased any more than we do love America, and that's what the Patriot Power Hour focuses on. But there you go. Right, but I'm prepared to survive in America because I live in America. So bringing it down to the home level, the family level, the individual level, having a blind eye to the macro level national and international events that can lead to direct danger to you where you live.

That's the lens that future danger intends to be. There you go. Perfect. Perfect. With that said, I think we could dive into a few of these articles for a minute or two. There might not be too much, but we could certainly get into it. If you had to pick one, what would you want to jump in first?

I was going to say, what's the one that you didn't expect to read tonight? Let's go with that VAERS system. It just kind of came out of left field, even though I feel like I've either heard this or maybe when I heard it, it was just a conspiracy theory a year or two ago,

and now it's coming out straight up. But this Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, VAERS, there was an investigation into this system, found that there were two systems, one for the public and a private back-end system that contains all the, quote, corrections and updates, including deaths after an injury. including deaths after an injury. So the private system that the public can't access has more up-to-date info as well as adjustments and corrections.

And if someone said, hey, I have a vaccine injury, maybe the public can see that at a high level, but they can't see that six months later that person passed away or it got worse. And that's, at least based on this investigation, not accessible

to the public there. So there's only so much bureaucrats acting like Soviets can do. And I believe it's true because there's something about the truth, anything that's true among any groups of people. The truth almost has an autonomous property.

It acts in a way beyond any one member of the group. it acts in a way beyond any one member of the group the truth seems to you know have this sort of property where it wants to be be known it wants to be free right the truth will be established and for the cdc they're subject to freedom of information requests. Of course, that information could be falsified. But ultimately, if the truth isn't free, it's going to be pretty obvious to everybody paying attention to it that it's not free and that the malfeasance is now on people in the American government acting like Soviets. Super well said. I think part of their strategy is they know that the truth will come out eventually, but if they could obfuscate and stall for 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, a few years, they're

hoping most people forget about it by then or no one's held to account when the truth does come out. So they try to stall it from coming out, try to manipulate it, and then try to get people to not care about it and have a lot of distractions and a lot of other crap going on that people don't even care about COVID-19 anymore. I mean, people like you and I have memory, and that's why it's important to study history and check into what's occurred in the past because you'll find some patterns.

But yeah, point is, it's kind of, how do I say it? I think the bad guys who do these things, for a better way to generalize it, I think the bad guys know that when they do some of the bad guys who do these things, for a better way to generalize it, I think the bad guys know that when they do some of the bad stuff they do out in the open, it's going to come out and they will be exposed. But they think if they can delay it long enough, that the risk-reward of it is okay. And they're willing to take that.

And it's a calculated decision by them that might have been the conventional thinking of the leadership of Soviet Russia for the 70 years they pulled it off until it all fell apart exactly all rods underneath

it's almost like a degenerate addict does this a lot. Even just like a kid in college procrastinating, not doing their homework, not going to class, not cleaning, not even doing anything except for drinking and playing video games. And then you can keep kicking it down the road for a while. But eventually, you're going to get kicked out. Or, I don't know, there's a million examples of that. And, yeah, when you aggregate the worst of the worst, it can get pretty ugly in human

history, you know? Yeah. And this government has limitations on how much it hides, right, compared to what the Soviet Union was. Which is a good thing. That's why we're talking about it. That's why we're talking about it. That's why we're bringing it out. We're going to raise that topic and point out when government statistics are blatantly falsified,

like they are when you set up a system with two sets of numbers and only one of them is public. Exactly. So I work with databases all the time. I know how there's issues that get worked out, let alone updates. I work with insurance claims, and when a claim is reported, a lot of times, six months, 12 months, 24 months later,

so much has changed. It's worth so much more money, or sometimes less money usually more uh so not updating your vaccine injury database of people that have an injury then later died and i don't want to go through this whole article it is quite deep um so i do expect people or suggest people go go check this out but they're just talking about how fewer than 20% of the concerning reports get a follow-up. So pretty much 80-plus percent of the concerning reports

and reports of injury don't get a follow-up anyway. So I don't know. Long story short, this is horrible data, and they're also running two sets of books at the same time to compound it man so that was probably one i did not expect to see even though i kind of know this stuff happens yeah well medical doctors are supposed to be you know in the broad broad category of what we would describe as scientists but the fact that they won't follow up and won't take seriously vaccine injuries

shows that there's behaviors within the medical profession worldwide these days that is a lot less than that which you'd expect from people that sought the truth in all cases fairly and objectively like a scientist should. Yeah. I have so many things to say about this further, but it's more of identity politics I don't want to get too into. But they'll certainly fall on the sword for one individual's right to do certain things,

but then they won't really care much about people dying and being severely injured. But anyway, okay. Here we go. What else? What else? Now you've got to pick one. You've got to pick an article now. I think that Moody's downgrade or threat of downgrade could be interesting to discuss.

You know, that headline came out before today when the House of Representatives passed a spending bill that funds the government through, I think, early February. So they kicked the can again. through, I think, early February. So they kicked the can again. But we have Moody's out there. Sort of being, you know, one could suspect it's being used as a, you know, a tool to, you know, promote or to, you know, have prevented a shutdown or, you know, federal worker furlough, partial shutdown again this week, which seems for the time being to be avoided.

Yes, kicked down the road a little longer, but didn't wait until the 11th hour this time, I suppose. Well, Moody's goes on and sounds almost like Patriot Power Hour. They say in the context of higher interest rates, meaning the government has to pay a lot more interest now, without effective fiscal policy measures, meaning stop spending so much damn money, or increasing revenue,

which I don't think you and I really talk about or really think needs to be done definitely not more taxes on on the people here of america at least uh anyway moody's expects that the u.s's fiscal deficits will remain quote very large significantly weakening debt affordability so pretty much deficits are gonna be huge the ain't going to do jack to stop that. And interest rates are elevated, and it's just now starting to really bite. That's how I read that. Yeah, and there's more than one credit rating agency, too.

But if the U.S. is AAA rating wherever to fall again, it's probably being accompanied by a lot worse news. So this is topical. But I guess if I could put you on the spot again, because it is your rubric for the U.S. federal government debt, right now how fast are we basically wasting the resources of a nuclear aircraft carrier? Is that a monthly basis, weekly basis? It's not daily that we're paying interest to the price of a nuclear carrier yet, is it? Very interesting question.

Let me actually do the calculations, which I should be able to do. Very interesting question. Let me actually do the calculations, which I should be able to do. So real quick for everyone out there, about 10 years ago I wrote an article. Before I even got on radio, I wrote, had a website, and wrote about how the brand-new Gerald R. Ford, which is in service now. I think it's in the Mediterranean even. But the Gerald R. Ford had its keel laid,

and it was going to be, I think, $13 billion. And at the time, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government were doing quantitative easing, if you remember that, pretty much ongoing bailouts,outs of 85 billion a month so the 85 billion divided by i think it was 16 billion for an aircraft carrier met five aircraft carriers 5.3 aircraft carriers per month that the fed was interfering with and monetizing on its balance sheet and looking back that's kind of not that's kind of small small dollars compared to what's gone on since but um but yeah uh how much interest is the u.s government paying per day i could try to do a back of the envelope uh calculation right

here that's a million that's a billion that's a million. That's a billion. That's a trillion. I believe we just passed $1 trillion in interest paid by the government. Interest paid by the government on its debt per year. $1 trillion with a T. And there's 365 days. So $1 trillion divided by 365 days. So $1 trillion divided by 365 days, $2.7 billion per day.

So every week or so, it's an aircraft carrier. There you go. If the Japanese were seeking an aircraft carrier a week in 1942, would people be freaking out? Yeah, they would. Yeah, so that's just the interest on the debt. And if we had cut our deficit to zero, we would still have to deal with that and eventually it would wind

off. But, I mean, the problem is we're adding to the pile of debt. So this interest is going up and up and up. So, not good, not good. Well, some moron could come and argue that aircraft carriers cost much more now. Yes. Well, the personnel on there, if you wanted to quantify a sailor's life, plus it wasn't a fully laden, so it didn't have all the actual aircraft on it.

So maybe you could say aircraft carrier month. Well, that's probably about what was being sunk at the worst part of the Pacific War, right? My question is how close... We're using the aircraft carrier. I think you used it because it's like a single most expensive thing the government

buys, right? At least publicly. Not black budget. Exactly. Right, exactly. Kind of as a big item not a maybe a secret satellite or something so using that as the like the currency of our metaphor we're at a you know a week 10 days per aircraft carrier right now in just debt payments, interest payments. How long before that becomes three days, two days, one day? And what does it mean when that amount is being accumulated or being paid out daily?

Can this regime, just financial, central banking regime, bring it to that without crashing it yeah well you've kind of brought this up truly asking it but also being devil's advocate you know both ways in the past it's like well does the math even matter anymore do the numbers matter anymore and in a way they don't until they do and the way i look at it with the aircraft carrier one reason i also used it is because you can't just build an aircraft carrier in like one day like it takes a very long time the time is a factor therefore you can't just like bring all this money into existence like instantly or even over a one year or three year or five year tenure like if you do then there problems, and that's usually inflation,

but there's a lot of other stuff that can go wrong. So, yeah, building assets and actual wealth and actual even aircraft carriers takes many years and lots of planning, and things can go wrong and all that stuff. So that's also a way to look at it. Yeah, yeah. wrong and all that stuff so that's also a way to look at it yeah yeah what else is uh piquing your interest this mid-november 2023 wednesday night on patriot power hour ben um oh one last thing i swear not to take over and rant but building five aircraft carriers a year, maybe we could do that. But doubling that would probably cost ten times more,

and it may not even be possible until we built the dry docks to do it. So there's a throughput issue too where there's hard limits on what could actually be done. It doesn't matter how much money you throw at it. So I just wanted to put that out there. Not to tell the navy what to do but if if one of our carriers actually went to war and was was actually sunk i think the concept of surface carriers with manned aircraft would would have gone the way of the the bronze sword i don't i don't know why you wouldn't build a a submersible aircraft

carrier that launched drones without having to surface right I'm a former soldier not a sailor but that kind of makes sense to me yeah it certainly does to me probably

we pay a lot of smart people to come up with these ideas I hope they're doing that and getting ahead of the next threat now but uh let's see here um how about this one's kind of goofy and funny but but not really uh the scientists create a frankenstein But not really. The scientists create a Frankenstein monkey in China that glows green. I'm getting an ad blocker right now on this one, even though I read it earlier. But I think this is just a little bit of a, I'm not going to say a safety valve or pressure relief valve but

they're doing all types of genetic experiments but they kind of show this one as kind of like the funny haha I mean they did this stuff decades ago probably it's my expectation what have they been doing recently is probably way more intense than this just kind of what I'm thinking

well for context you know just to be fair sometimes you're using the word they and it it tends to point towards you know a worldwide international evil elite i don't think chinese have been able to do this and i'm not certain that in this country's past in the 80s and 90s, there were any scientists that would have done this in America in large numbers. The ethical dimensions to it back then, even if they could have done it,

I don't think they could. But with CRISPR, and obviously with the people in charge, with Fauci and the rest of them, I think that the threat to humanity that was for decades considered the greatest being nuclear weapons, starting to pale in comparison to what the full-blown bio-war could look like. Yes. Good point. That was definitely kind of a failing of mine

or something, I don't want to be a blind spot. I guess I was thinking of pretty much the West and specifically the U.S. having done this type of stuff many years ago and maybe China just recently came around to it. I bet they're still more advanced than this but um but yeah uh they're they're pushing the envelope they're taking it further than ever not being shy about it and they want to sell it and they want to make it very public and that'll only lead to even more potential mistakes or errors

i don't know it doesn't seem like a good idea to be mixing all this weird dna to me but you you almost have to pray that there is no physical way that that that throughout creation it's not possible for mankind to engineer the the worst of the worst bio weapons like ones that can kill specific races, because if that were to ever be unleashed, you know, our country could easily be, you know, have suffered, you know, a trial run of that for COVID and, you know, worse things are in store. I'm not sure scientifically it's possible to build a weapon that could discriminate, right? Could, you know, in a used case, you'd say, you know, the Chinese regime did it and created a, you know, managed to engineer it. So it was less, much less likely to kill Chinese than Americans that unleashed it.

I'm just hoping that that sort of thing isn't even possible. Yeah, I get where you're coming from for sure. I don't even, yeah, I certainly don't want to even hardly think about it, let alone let it be true, but I think maybe a slight reduction, like you said, maybe, okay, 30% of Chinese die, whereas 70% of white Americans and 75% of other races would die or you know different different things but i if it is like if it is possible i guess we're relying on the same thing we are with nukes and that's mutually assured destruction so china launched their one that would kill americans

then we would launch the one that killed all of them i hope that's not really what it is, but I guess that's the fallback position. Well, the difference is nuclear war is pretty much global thermonuclear war could be settled in the first strikes and counterstrikes in a half hour, and much less now with hypersonic missiles, whereas this kind of bio-ar could run over decades. You talked about time being a factor in economics. Yeah. Certainly would be a factor in a multi-generational genetic biowar.

Definitely. Great point. Not to mention escalation and releasing subsequent worse ones. No, it gets nasty quick. Man, we've been on a pretty good show so far. Or slowly, yes. You die slowly and then fast. So we got, yeah, about seven or eight minutes left.

Been a great show so far, really. I think there's been some really interesting stuff. We've talked about what you really want to hit on, whether it's an article or some other topic. Let's finish off this show strong. What do you say? We have a little exercise that we're going to try to do on air in the winter of 2024.

We've talked about about a little bit maybe we can uh you know tease that event a little bit and and expose like some of the plan i'll leave it to you what do you want to reveal let's do that let's do that and I think it's about the perfect type of thing to finish on. And also, the only caveat or concern I have is we haven't really decided in full. So it'll be a little bit of a brainstorming. But I'm always fine to brainstorm on air. So if that's all right, let's do it. Yeah, we're going to do a little survival. A little urban survival. A little cold weather urban survival.

We're going to do a little worst case in extremis type of preparedness. I think that, you know, there is in the prepper community, you know, obviously the homesteading point of view of how to protect yourself. Probably, you know, that's predominant, right? But it doesn't fit everybody's lives. And even if you are in a rural situation with, you know, and highly self-sufficient and resilient, you could be thrust in other situations. So I would argue that's part of preparedness is to possibly have to do things and be places and, you know, survive when your homestead isn't there for you. So I think we definitely have Mr. Walton and Jones on the hook for some ideas. But we haven't brainstormed it with either James or Dave.

So probably, probably gave a mistake to, you know, disclose it, you know, exactitudes, but that's kind of like the thrust. The theme is, is getting through an urban terrain. And I'll just say this, doing a little scavenger scavenging, crafting, make a do with what you can find, will be part of the event. Exactly. At a high level, I was thinking we could come up with a few objectives or tasks,

not too detailed. And some of them I want to be kind of a surprise, like we've done on a couple of our other exercises too. But it's, first off, cold weather, number one. But it's, first off, cold weather, number one. Number two, we want to get to certain places relatively undetected. Number three, we're going to start with very little clothing. So it's going to be cold as hell.

I hope. First off, it's going to be overnight, and it's going to be January or February. So if it's 45 degrees, it's not our fault. But it's very possible it could be below freezing, and we're going to start off with very little clothing, whether we can scavenge and craft some. There you go. And just being undetected during this is also going to be built into that somehow. Any comments on those or any other kind of objectives or thoughts

that we're trying to get big picture? Yeah, well, obviously we'll carry modern equipment to record it. It'll be in audio format. Maybe some pictures go out of certain things we're doing. But OBSEC is still a priority for our daily lives. But there could be a competitive aspect to this. Definitely compare what participants, contestants come up with. I think a little bit of, you know, obviously being deprived of temperature,

comfortable temperature is implicit to what you said, but also being deprived of a little bit of sleep. And everything but hydration. We're not going to be dumb about it and, you know, intentionally hurt ourselves. So it won't be as real as it could get, but it's going to be as real as we can make it and stay safe and make it a presentation that, you know, hopefully is informative to people,

if not entertaining. Good point. I forgot about those parts. That was definitely a baseline was 24 hours, no sleep when we start this. So by the time we end, it could be, you know,

36 hours, no sleep, um, as well as 24 hours, no food to start. And so that's kind of some basic stuff. And, yeah, I'm looking forward to it. We've got to kind of figure out a little bit more,

but I'm also, on the other hand, want to be surprised, and that's part of it is kind of flowing with it. Like, I don't know, if you get uh if you're away from home and traveling you had to walk somewhere or bug out from your broken down car in a blizzard you know you ain't gonna be expecting it so i want to kind of involve that but also some tasks or some like you said competitive type aspect to it i don't know what that means exactly but we'll think through it yeah and from you know obvious you know practicalities of military training it's obvious you know in so many professions that involve you know life or death that you know firefighters and paramedics and obviously emergency room doctors,

everybody goes through scenario training so that when they're in it for the first time, as much as possible can be familiar, right? Any simulated event isn't going to ever match know, the real world worst case scenario. But in other, you know, scenarios, I did talk to people in the Army who spoke of, you know, going to Panama, being deployed to Panama and describing how certain training that they underwent before they went was actually harder than the combat that they actually encountered right so there's there's real real you know validity i think to you know rehearsing and and immersing yourself in scenarios that you don't expect but if you're ever in them you want everything that you could have made

familiar to you familiar so that now you can really focus on what you have to do in that moment to survive I think that's about as well as you can say it it can be an iterative process so we've done a couple exercises already and I've done

well on some things and not so well on other parts and trust me I'm going to be focusing to not make the same mistakes twice at least and maybe all other mistakes, but that's just part of the part of how it goes and get better every time, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And hopefully with, uh, Dave Jones's help as, uh, the exercise controller some injections of reality that only he knows about before we encounter them and endure them.

Well, you know, for both those situations where we're doing an after-act review talking about, I didn't expect it to be that way, and that's really what I learned from this. I hope there'll be many moments like that. Absolutely. I'm looking forward to it. We are going to do that, though, in the new year. So we're considering maybe squeezing it in before the holidays. But time is going so fast, and we've got a lot of stuff coming up between now and then. But real quick, let me go through the schedule of the rest of the month and the rest of the year.

What do you say? The rest of the fall season of Patriot Power Hour? Exactly. That's the proper way to put it. So, today is the 15th of November. We will be live next Wednesday, the 22nd. So, we'll be live. We'll also be live on the 29th of November,

the 6th of December, the 13th of December, and our last of the season will be the 20th which is essentially the day of or the day before the winter solstice and uh the end of our season i think we'll be taking that following week off christmas uh week the 24th through the 30th off Christmas week, the 24th through the 30th, and back in January for our new season. So that's the tentative plan, as always. Could change, and in particular, could add some more content in the near future, especially if things hit the fan.

So we'll be on the lookout. Yep, we'll broadcast any time when things all go black on red, happening now, crisis, you better believe that. But sounds like a good plan to go black on red, happening now, crisis. You better believe that. But it sounds like a good plan to me for the rest of this season, Ben. Awesome, awesome. Oh, and episode 250 is going to be in that as well, so we'll have to do something special.

But with that said, episode 247 in the bag. It was a good one. Good discussing the current events with you as always, Ben. You too, buddy. Alright, folks. We're going to make way for the Intrepid Commander. Prepper Broadcast Network. Catch you later. Thank you.
