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. 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. Sous-titrage ST' 501 © BF-WATCH TV 2021 You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour.
This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence.
and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan,
the editor of FutureDanger.com. Patriot Power Hour. It is episode 249, November 29th, 2023.
Ben, the Breaker of Banksters here with Future Dan. Future Dan, been a pretty busy November.
We'll recap it, I think, with the news blitz and looking to December and beyond.
What do you say?
Yeah, and we've got to do something special for 250,
so probably time to start planning for that.
Absolutely. I made a little pit stop today at the Jones Homestead
and picked up a few supplies and talked with him.
And we did a little daily audio cash and he,
I pretty much told him,
look,
it's episode two 50 next week.
I don't know if we're going to be able to meet with him or do it virtually or
two of us together.
One virtual,
I don't even know,
but we're going to try to get him on the air with us next week for episode 250.
Heck yeah.
We've also got to plan out the next exercise as well.
Yeah, yeah.
That exercise we teased a little bit,
nowhere near a fully formed concept of operations,
but we're going to challenge ourselves in the new year in cold weather,
at night, in a suburban, urban terrain environment,
and try some things we've never tried before.
For sure.
The way I put it when I was talking with NBC guy Dave Jones today,
it was great to see him, talk with him, and then great to talk with you as well tonight.
It was almost the last day of November 2023, but I was saying, yeah,
it's one thing if you know you can't do something and then you prove it to yourself.
That's definitely a reality check.
But if you think you can do something or let's just say some tasks within, you know, smaller tasks within the overall challenge, but you can't even accomplish those or you're overconfident or something goes wrong that you didn't expect, that's where a lot of the lessons come from.
So looking forward to that.
It is definitely turning a bit cold out. So we've done our previous kind of exercises
and radio check-ins and all that stuff during the summer.
But yeah, like you said, this will be in the winter
and also, like you said, suburban, urban terrain.
Right.
We started this with the Azure Highland exercise two summers ago.
Last summer we did Dark Trail March.
Yeah, it was seriously
hot for those. This is going to be the opposite of that.
For sure, for sure.
Alright, enough of that said.
We are having a little bit of a
truncated show tonight. Pretty much the full
power hour. Maybe a few minutes
shorter, but we'll get to the news
blitz in the second segment, but
what news article or
even overall topic has been burning at you this past week i can't name one maybe maybe the
shrink inflation of patriot power hours tonight but no uh there's lots of various diverse disparate headlines but less news and no consistent
theme week to week gdp number came in today supposedly strong i would say from the financial
side of things there's been a smattering of negative news but there's not any significant crash but there's
certainly no boom either um hey it's uh it's got to break one way or the other i think uh either
either things are going to keep getting better or get worse economically and i think that goes
across the board geopolitically uh just the governance of our country, 2024 coming up.
Here's a funny story today.
How about this?
I was out and about in town, and oh, I need to, gosh, I'm going to go see if I can find this person again.
But they were collecting signatures for Nikki Haley to put Nikki Haley on the ballot nearby.
And today, Jamie Dimon came out and supported Nikki Haley.
Jamie Dimon, of course, J.P. Morgan, CEO.
He was actually on the board of directors of the New York Federal Reserve
around the time of the Great Financial Crisis.
So he wasn't a governor of one of them, but he was on the board of directors of the New
York Fed, which is pretty much the most important.
And at least, of course, with financial rigging.
So he came out for Nikki Haley.
So I politely asked this person a couple questions and then declined.
It was all good.
In retrospect, I should have been,
man, I should have really asked them what they thought about Jamie Diamond's endorsement.
It was one of those, after I walked away, I was like,
oh, man, maybe I'll see him again.
But they were nice enough about it.
I don't know.
It was interesting, though.
The most interesting
part of that would be whether
that person doing the signatures
even knew Jamie Diamond
Watts. That's
pretty much at least half of
what I wanted to get at
with this.
And
they were doing it as a team
so there was actually another person who came up to me
or I was walking and I came across them
like a block down the road,
and they may not be around that area anymore,
but really I wanted to ask them.
I wanted to be very neutral about it.
I was not going to load the question at all,
and so I'm not saying I want to do a man on the street
or anything like that,
but damn, that was a missed opportunity
just to ask them what they thought about Jamie Dimon's endorsement and just, you know, see what they had to say.
Yep.
And it's a political year coming up.
We got a mystery virus in China that doesn't seem to be gaining the panic mode that, you know, one might have expected after COVID-19,
but no real serious death figures coming with it yet.
It's a flu in China, but it certainly has the attention of British tabloids.
Well, yeah, I've kind of seen it blown up on the tabloids and
the American mainstream media, which might as well be
tabloid at this point, but I've also seen
kind of the seesaw of it where
at first it was a panic and then it was like,
oh, it's actually not that big of a deal and China's actually
going to do
the exact opposite of what they did with COVID, meaning
not lock things down
and not
force testing and not, you know, force testing and even vaccination, et cetera.
But I saw both of those viewpoints like within a 24-hour period.
So I don't know.
It's more, it's a lot of noise, but we look for trends.
And if we see trends, we'll definitely report on it.
And we, you know, one trend we saw was one bioweapon out of China.
So we got to always be looking out for maybe another,
but that doesn't mean absolutely this is the one.
Yeah, if there's any dangerous trends or threads of trends
that are emerging at the end of this November 2023,
they're not particularly easy to detect right now.
I can't speak to any trends this fall that have been consistent and growing worse.
No, not that are just like total smoking guns.
I will say in October and November, the push towards war with Iran definitely ramped up,
as well as obviously Israel and Palestine,
and putting the U.S. carrier group even closer to that area.
But meanwhile, Ukraine is not really accelerated,
and China continues with its drills and some nasty talk,
but hasn't crossed the Taiwanese straits. So we're not like totally in the throes of World War III right now,
but I feel like nothing's improved either in the last month or two.
So I guess we've got to get ready for a year in review soon.
The Middle East got obviously much worse after October 7th,
but you're right. The Middle East got, you know, obviously much worse after October 7th.
But you're right.
You know, the status quo with the other nuclear superpowers,
again, I go back to mutually assured destruction.
There's kind of an ultimate limit to how far anybody can escalate with each other because, you know, go watch war games again.
It ends the same way every time.
And as a consequence, you know, a lot of bad news,
but not a lot that is, you know, peaking, you know,
grade one actual war with one of those countries started.
We didn't even get close this year.
Mark, I would agree, though.
One thing that we've talked about a lot,
and we don't have too much time to talk about it
because we do got to go to our quick break and then the dashboard.
We've got a couple minutes, and we've talked about it a lot before,
but maybe you got some thoughts, some new thoughts or new angles.
It's fine.
We're not going to have thermonuclear war, hopefully.
And there are kind of steps between where we are now and that end point.
And those steps could be EMP, they could be trade embargoes,
they could be different types of proxy wars,
they could be cyber attacks, all these different things.
That kind of gray area, I hope a lot of that is also under mutually assured destruction, meaning no one's going to cross a lot of those other lines as well. But I think a lot of that is also under mutually assured destruction meaning no
one's going to cross a lot of those other lines as well but i think a lot of that's been untested
especially the cyber aspects so i mean that's why they got a space force now that's why the u.s puts
hundreds of billions of dollars into uh internet infrastructure security etc but um i don't know
i feel like our society as a whole hasn't been tested with it.
And it'll be interesting if it goes up that ladder further
to this kind of next generation war, you know?
Yeah.
On the cyber front, I think it's an industry of its own
within the defense industrial complex.
And in certain aspects of market forces,
there's a lot of money going into it, like you said.
And it seems like, at least for government systems,
we're as hardened as we've ever been.
We probably have an edge on other countries.
I just don't fear the cyber.
If that edge ever was lost, if quantum computing was actually broken through by the Chinese, different story. But for now,
I treat it like the nuclear situation, pretty much a stalemate. It happens in the gray background.
I just think it's an outlier for some collapse to come about
because of some kind of cyber attack from abroad, at least right now.
Great stuff, great stuff.
All right, we're going to go hit a couple commercials.
We'll be right back on Patriot Power Hour, Episode 249.
We'll hit the news blitz, talk about some of the news and trends of the day
and maybe preview the rest of the news and trends of the day,
and maybe preview the rest of the year and talk about Episode 250 ideas.
All right?
Sound like a plan?
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
All right.
Stick with us, guys.
We'll be right back.

On the brink of blackouts again,
as power demand reached an all-time record high overnight,
slivers of the Golden State plunged into darkness.
It expects to continue with stage six,
running blackouts for the rest of the week.
A scheduled outage on Thursday,
but the one that happened Sunday,
it wasn't scheduled, it was unexpected,
and it lasted longer than a day.
Point Zero Energy has given me
the American-tested, American-assembled,
reliable solar backup that I've been looking for.

ingenuity at its finest with a removable expandable lithium-ion battery, 2,000
watt hour, 3,000 watt high efficiency inverter. So what does all that mean to
you? It means the Titan can charge your smartphone for 88 hours, your laptop for
35 hours, a CPAP for 108 hours. Your refrigerator for 26.8 hours.

Patriot Power Hour, episode 249, November 29, 2023.
Let's hit the news blitz.
2023, let's hit the news blitz.
How blue states work around the Supreme Court to restrict Second Amendment rights.
The DOJ releases heavily redacted search warrant
for POTUS45's Twitter account.
Meanwhile, a judge refuses to let POTUS 45,
see evidence in his own,
January 6th trial,
let's go to economics,
American borrowers,
are getting closer to maxing out,
Americans are doom spending,
so, are getting closer to maxing out. Americans are doomed spending. So,
nearly all Americans concerned about the state of the economy,
but they're still going with the spending.
Hey, spend it while you got it.
But American borrowers are simultaneously getting closer to maxing out.
That's at the personal level, at the national and supernational level.
Fed bank bailout program borrowing surged in November.
And gold is well across the $2,000 mark.
I think gold is probably about as expensive as it's ever been.
Live on a Patriot Power Hour.
Maybe it was a little bit more expensive around the time Russia and Ukraine popped off.
But it's at $2,046 right now.
Silver at exactly $25, what I'm looking at.
Bitcoin, just under 38 000 nice run up by bitcoin in the last month from about 27 000 to 37 38 just less than 60 days other markets have been relatively flat, to be honest. Oil, $77, which is pretty, you know, not too high, not too low, to be honest.
It's actually a decent spot.
And other financial markets are relatively flat.
The VIX is tempered.
Low amount of volatility as well.
Let's go to natural news and health.
China grapples with respiratory illness spike.
Meanwhile, the WHO is saying, at least right now,
no unusual pathogen has been found.
And at least right now, no unusual pathogen has been found.
China seeks more clinics to cope with surge of respiratory illnesses in children.
China brings back masks and social distancing over new mystery outbreak.
China orders mystery pneumonia outbreak cover-up as officials told to downplay illness and ban the word COVID.
Powerful explosions at the Anak Krakatau volcano in Indonesia.
Solar flare erupted.
A CME directed towards Earth is likely.
We'll explore that.
And let's go to some geopolitics to finish off the night.
Before I continue, I'll say this is the most actualized
and severe indicator of the night but it's not even
quote unquote not even
SHTF
level
we have
under false flag exposed
former house speaker's daughter
caught on video appearing to explain
key parts of J6
PSYOP we also have Albin
Sadar with more information about January 6th.
Why it happened is now obvious.
So all this important information coming out,
inconsistencies bearing out on January 6th.
And that is very important news.
But otherwise, throughout the dashboard, interesting topics.
And, you know, there's threads that are important to it,
but relatively low grades this week.
Let me bring future Dan on.
What do you say about that?
We talked a little bit about it in the first segment,
but again, not seeing too much severity right now.
Yeah, the conflict in the Middle East has stayed low level in terms of Iran and Israel.
Israeli-owned ship came under attack from Iranian drones. But besides that, it's relatively cooler
there. You know, Ben, demand is sagging for U.S. Treasury bonds. That might be a topic you want to educate us on.
Why is that bad?
Well, when bond prices go down, interest rates go up.
And we've had purposefully right over the last 18 months,
Purposefully, right over the last 18 months, they've purposefully raised interest rates from essentially 0% all-time record lows, never in human history, to reasonable levels, 4% or 5%, where we are today.
But given all the debt we had, both as consumers and as the world and governments, etc. That was a big shock to the system.
Now the question is, can they undo that
or are high interest rates going to stay here for a while?
If that happens, there's going to be a lot of bankruptcies,
there's going to be a depression, but we can get through it.
We take our medicine and I think we can get
through it. They're not going to do that. I think they're going to kick the can down the road and
lower those interest rates. But the only way to lower the interest rates, remember, bond price
goes the opposite. So to lower interest rates, you got to raise the price of bonds. So if they're
going to reverse course, like I've said, they're going to and all that, which they always have done,
they're going to need a lot of demand for these bonds,
especially if we go to war or there's some other national disaster
where tens of trillions will need to be used and printed, etc.,
over multiple years.
Who's going to buy all those bonds?
And if no one buys them, that means interest rates will skyrocket
and it'll be like the 70s, except worse potentially.
Like that's where things get really broken quick.
And I'm talking about liquidity events, bank holidays,
Lehman Brothers destruction times 10.
And, well, so here's the question.
Who's going to buy all these bonds?
We've talked about China's not buying anymore.
They're not really selling theirs, but they're letting them expire, roll off.
Debt matures over time.
It's paid off.
China's going through that, but they're just not repurchasing much
or even any at all, almost.
You've got to look at the exact numbers, but long story short, China's pretty much out of that market.
And our allies, others who buy a lot of this, like Japan and Europe, man, they're already up a creek themselves financially.
They don't got more money to buy even more U.S. debt.
Like, that's not
really going to work for them so anyway nobody wants u.s treasury bonds what what is what are
we going to do about that well i got some ideas but uh that's kind of the the analysis i guess
and for preppers what does that mean it, man, financial volatility is going to be crazy.
Inflation is going to be crazy.
Layoffs, stagflation.
So if you're making money now, save it and get some long-term preps.
That's what I say.
You save it, it'll be inflated away, won't it?
Save it with long-term preps, I guess, is more like what I meant.
Not in cash, for sure.
Okay, so great.
Great point.
Don't save it in a mutual fund or CD or in cash under your bed.
Gold and silver Bitcoin, I think, are decent, but definitely some land.
Actually, I saw that Intrepid Commander.
I haven't listened to it.
It just came up a couple hours ago, and I was busy with other stuff,
but it looked like he bought some land.
So I'm going to listen to that.
It says, I bought raw land.
So even though land prices and housing and all that are high,
historically, I still think you can get some good homestead land
or bug-out land or land that you can hunt on but also bug out to, recreation and prepping, I think,
go hand-in-hand sometimes.
Anyway, but yeah, volatility economically is guaranteed right now.
Well, look at the price of Bitcoin, gold, and silver.
Recently, you just spoke about it.
It's fleeing away from the dollar, right?
silver recently you just spoke about it it's it's fleeing away from the dollar right and putting your money into into land is you know essentially the same thing i mean they're not making more of
it so having it before it gets exceedingly unaffordable is all great avenues right definitely i'm not one for you know buying uh buying a bunch of stuff on debt
but if you had to get a mortgage on something uh that might be something to go with but anyway
uh i'm actually you know i'm in the market myself and i I'm still holding off, though. This is my own personal financial advice.
I still think there will be deals to be had.
But, on the other hand, if you can live on that land or start to improve it,
you never know when you're going to need it.
So I think now is actually a good time to buy if you're buying land,
not maybe a condo in the city.
I think that's a different conversation.
What would happen in a long-term grid-down scenario with debt, consumer debt?
Like areas of the country have no power for 30 days or more,
and all that would come with that kind of disaster
what do you think they would do would they forgive it would they expunge it would it
would it be changed in such a wouldn't that be i mean that would clearly be part of a reset right
how would that get reset i think so That's very possible something that could happen.
And here's a way that I try to think of it myself,
and I think others should too,
is if you get your debt forgiven or reset or partially forgiven,
well, some of your assets might be forgiven as well,
meaning your assets don't exist either.
So, yeah, forgive all the debt but
then everything you own is also taken from you and there you go because what you know
so be careful of of that but if no one's able to pay their bills or even you know hardly survive
for quite a while because grid down in a major region or even an entire country or world.
It would be super hard to balance a checkbook electronically,
and there's not many banking branches open anymore these days, it seems like. So long story short, that would be a cluster
and would be a great excuse for them to do a financial reset at the same time
if that happened.
But from a prepper's perspective, emerging from something like that that came with financial crisis
and resulted in all kinds of financial resets, having a credit worthiness,
knowing that at that point they'll have cut interest rates to near zero again
having the ability to emerge from that
with strong lines of credit
seems like a door that you want to leave open for yourself
yeah and I think real collateral will be important at that time and that's what you can use some of
your gold silver and bitcoin for as collateral for a loan that you'll get back you don't have
to give up your gold and silver but take five ten twenty percent of your stack right turn it into
the new dollar start a business and hopefully you can thrive in the new world, right? And you
leverage some of your hard assets as collateral in the future. That's one way out where you're not,
you know, that's like a non-super-mad-max-crazy world where, hey, there's a financial reset,
but you have real hard assets. You're able to leverage those into loans and build up a new business and live happily ever after, right?
But I don't know.
You can't eat your gold either, so make sure you've got other preps too.
And it leads us to the inevitable conclusion that any place that you could put your wealth
that could escape the system.
The system's going to persecute it.
You know, FDR,
confiscate the gold. That's coming again.
I'm not going to be able to hide
very well from them. I've been pretty
vocal about it, but I'll still do my
damnedest and not give anything up.
Yeah, well,
go back to pirate treasure chests, maybe.
Boating
accidents is the popular term
I heard.
I have actually
lost a fair amount of my Bitcoin.
I honestly do not know
how to get into it.
They could blowtorch me
and I still won't be able to get to it.
Or did I?
I don't know. I guess the AI
will have to analyze my voice if I'm lying right now.
When they torture
me in the future, I'm just kidding.
Alright, we got about 15 minutes, man.
We got a lot of news to talk about. What do you want to hit on?
Why don't you take us where your
interests lie? I'm open to the entire heat map dashboard
or beyond that
really
ok let's see
I wanted to hit on
the solar flare I just wanted to check on that
because human made events are worth prepping before absolutely but even if all humans were
angels i would still be a prepper because there's just so many natural events that could cause
problems so solar flare super super dangerous to the modern society at least uh measuring m 9.8
erupt erupted from an active region 3500 on November 28th, so yesterday.
It lasted about 45 minutes.
And a moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for December 1st.
So Friday, this Friday, December 1st.
So that looks like it takes about three days for
it to get from the sun to earth and I know uh Sarah Hathaway and others definitely talk about
solar flares a lot and uh I'm sure this is on their radar literally and figuratively but
um I don't know exactly what a moderate what that means
there future dan does that mean we shouldn't even travel that day i guess they would tell us if
they'd be able to tell if it was a lot worse than that hopefully oh they can and if it's more severe
than that uh you know you'll see the most severe that I've seen in the last, you know, seven, eight years of future danger has been the severe ones will bring the Aurora Borealis down to the, you know, New England and Michigan and the northern parts of continental United States. Of course, what we're really thinking about is something that's multiple times
more powerful, a Carrington event, right?
Right, yep.
And so these things are like just storms.
No one alive has witnessed like the Cat 5 hurricane equivalent
of one of
these ejections.
Exactly.
The 1 in 100 or 1 in 500
year event that's happened
throughout history.
It's just we didn't have sensitive electronics.
So maybe
a little harder to tell.
Fourth,
let's see, this could be the fourth and the strongest cme expected to
impact earth over the next couple of days i guess that's that one exactly on december 1st it goes
854 kilometers per second there's definitely a lot a lot of uh potential damage there if it was strong but they're saying really radio frequencies
are the most at risk here there could be some disruptions to radar gps satellite communications
but it's not going to knock blow out any transformers or anything like that so so that's
good and that's why it grades as low level news but great that you watch this and you can kind of make trends of this over time.
Yeah, and the
site we get that from is The Watchers.
Outstanding for that.
Watchers.news.
Yeah.
I mean, the volcano reports
from them are outstanding as well.
It's got some really
cool visuals. I know we're, of
course, a podcast. by the way my 2024
new year's resolution might be to make this happen on rumble and we have a screen share so
people can see our screen while we're talking um and anyway long story short really cool visuals
on that site watchers.news it has it actually shows what part of the world will be hit by this
CME as well. So one part of the world will not be affected at all. That's actually the, you know,
Chinese, India, Africa, Europe side of the world. Whereas really, uh, the Pacific ocean,
Pacific Ocean, part of Chile, and Mexico.
But that really lands right mostly in the ocean, and it's not the strongest.
So anyway, long story short, something to prep for in of itself there.
Space weather, yeah.
Coming full circle, though, you're prepping and you have decent lines of credit.
And if circumstances arrived where a Carrington-level event is the space weather forecasted, severe space weather, like going to change everything space weather. You know, crank out last-minute preps on credit might be a good tactical move.
Chances are the system won't be in place to, you know,
you won't have to pay on it as quickly as you otherwise would have to,
and interest rates might get lower real fast.
Yeah, no, that's something you've always been a big advocate
of and
and what kind of in my
order of operations and spending
my resources it would be
that cash first while it's still accepted
and hopefully worth about as
much as it should be
so I say
keep some cash under the bed just not
that much and keep it in a fireproof safe too.
Probably a good idea.
But, hey, I've said it both at the national level and now at the personal level.
We'll still have more stimulus packages and bailouts and welfare
and universal basic income for people.
You might have to get the mark of the Beast to get it, but regardless,
I still think
you'll be able to turn things
into real preps and real resources
for a little while to come, but every
day it's just less likely.
I think people should
really double down.
Christmas present
to myself will be some preps.
I'm not really buying any more BS
anymore I'm kind of done buying BS
absolutely what do you got in mind
what do you need
need a better vehicle
and bug out land so those are
some big presents
I've bought some
more fire starter
stuff and I bought this awesome saw to process
wood out in my yard and nearby.
So I have essentially an unlimited supply of wood to burn and this works very well.
Just a little made in Japan, actually.
Hand saw thing.
Excuse me.
So I did a little bit of buying perhaps for myself during the sales of the past week or whatever.
But that's about it.
But saving up for a couple of those big ticket items and cheering on gold, silver, Bitcoin and holding tight, you know.
Absolutely. So we got our homework cut out to figure out how to do a show with Mr.
Jones next week.
And I'm excited for it.
So let me know if,
if it's,
you know,
how we arrange the studios.
Episode 249 has been relatively less news.
It's kind of been a respite in the fall of 2023 this week.
But, you know, we're still watching that situation in China.
The respiratory illness might be just tabloid, you know,
hyping something that's not real.
But, you know, fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on us.
And we're going to be fooled fooled again as president bush would say
oh all right good stuff i think you know no reason to belabor the point we've hit on pretty
much everything i wanted to hit on uh okay i got one more article i want to touch on might as well
hit it the americans are doom spending that sounds like the fall what a civilization does at
the very end right they're like ah everything's falling apart let's have a three-week feast
right that's what they do in the olden days and while everything's falling apart at least you can
eat the rest of your food and get drunk before everyone really starves um but that's what it seems like based off this article
doom spending may be one way to cope with stress um but it comes at the expense of your financial
well-being and uh yeah with the holiday season and all that people as always are adding more
to their credit card credit card tops one trillion dollars and gen z and millennials
are particularly susceptible to that mindset so that's not good to hear we're adding a trillion
dollars of uh debt credit card three months time yeah the federal government is doing a trillion every three months now. Yes, that is very, you know, and that rate has accelerated super fast,
and no one's really talking about it in the government.
Of course, the...
They're starting to.
Yeah, they need to.
Congressional Budget Office, their official numbers aren't even,
this is way ahead of what they were projecting.
And they're still projecting that the debt's going to double by 2050.
Which 2050 sounds like far away.
Guys, it's like 27 years ago.
That's like the equivalent of 1995 or 1996.
So if 1995 doesn't seem that far away from here right now,
I mean, it was a while ago, but it ain't that
far. Well, that's how far 2050 is
from now. They're going to double the debt we
have, but it's really going to quadruple
it. So yeah, the math is
impossible, and it's sooner than you might
think, even if it's five or ten years
from now. That's not that far.
It's a hockey stick,
and that's how we're on this
network bringing the news,
and one pillar of what we talk about every week is the economic financial situation.
I definitely appreciate your insights and background and orientation to that.
Yeah, it's a big part of this show.
If you catch a proper broadcasting network's version of Patriot Power Hour.
We've been on this network for two years.
We've been doing this for over five,
and looking forward to continuing with you, Ben.
Yes, sir.
It's been good stuff.
Yeah, actually, I think this is maybe last week was our unofficial
six-year anniversary.
We didn't even really think about that.
But we've been on air about six years now and coming up on episode 250 next week.
And we're going to have NBC guy, Mr. Jones, did say that he was going to be able to join us next week.
It's just will it be live or virtual or how that will be?
That's TBD.
But we're going to do that.
And maybe we'll make it a 90-minute show next week too.
So it'll be a lot of fun.
I'm ready for it.
All right, buddy.
All right, guys.
We'll catch you next week.
Patriot Power Hour signing off.
