The American Pronunciation Guide Presents ''How to Pronounce Cuban Refugee'' 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 ¶¶ You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour. This live episode features the situational 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. It's the Patriot Power Hour, and we're live as always on Wednesdays. It's January 17th, 2024. Time keeps on ticking. We got a whole dashboard and set of news. Pretty busy day on the news front. We'll of course hit that in the second

segment. Future Dan, my co-host, will be calling in here just in a few minutes. But I was like, you know what, let's just get rolling. So what do we got going on right now? I mean, well, first and foremost we'll be looking a lot at what's being said over there in Davos, Switzerland. We won't spend too much time on it. But the 2024 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is taking place in Davos right now. We have Zelensky of Ukraine talking about how the West, i.e. Europe and America, need to triple down in Ukraine and defeat Putin there instead of allowing it to spread to World War III.

Pretty much saying start World War III to prevent it or escalate it even further to prevent it that type of logic so he was speaking at davos we have uh all the different types of banksters we have uh geez a whole swath of that so we won't talk too much about we won't focus on the personalities and what kind of the oh it's almost like bilderberg and davos and all those are like almost like the oscars of of the banksters and their cohorts these days and they don't need to be glorified at all so we'll talk a little bit about what they're saying over there as a preview uh but i won't get too much in there because we do have a ton of news to jump into uh it is of course the middle of january so it's cold it's been cold everywhere hopefully all y'all doing okay great time to test out your preps right i've went um i pretty much live at the same altitude and general location as NBC guy Dave Jones himself.

And it got down to about 8 or 10 degrees Fahrenheit with 20, 30 mile an hour wind. And I wasn't out camping outside, so to speak. But I haven't had to leave my house for multiple days. Could easily do so if needed. But it's also good to just be like, you know what? If electricity went out, I got a huge stack of firewood. I have food for months.

I have water filtration. I have all types of tools, medical gear where I could self-sustain. Why? Well, if World War III goes off, you're going to want to shelter in place. I got a feeling, number one. And if there's another disease X or COVID 2.0, another good reason. So, hey, I'm getting a little cabin fever, not going to lie, but it's also a good time to kind of hunker down, see if you can do it,

see what you're missing. Later tonight, Trevitt Commander will be having his show as always. And he was going through the master preparedness schedule. This is a good time of the year for that as well. So we just had a three-day weekend. I did some preps over the three-day weekend. I actually am going to have another three-day weekend coming up. So I'll be spending at least a day doing a lot of prepping-related activity,

including some work on the master preparedness schedule and some working out and just sticking to those routines. That's what Intrepid Commander talks about. It's not goals or resolutions, it's routines. You are what you do every day. So I've been trying hard and doing a pretty damn good job. I gave myself a B plus in the last three weeks or so. I started my New Year's routines and goals, whatever, resolutions, a few days after Christmas.

Before New Year's. New year's i was healthy and stuff i didn't drink or do anything you know overeat during new year's eve or any of that so i was off to a good start and i've been again a b plus in the last few weeks but that's the easy three weeks right it's like can you keep that up another three weeks, three months, three years, 30 years, live that lifestyle. Slowly but surely, every year I do better and better and better. I've been working on this for 15, 20 years. Funny thing is, when I came out of high school, I was a three-year starter in the largest class of football in Indiana and always working out, always in good shape.

And before that, like, you know, in elementary and middle school, I'd play three sports a year, just play, you know, basketball, baseball, football. So year-round, maybe get like two months off during that to, you know, not to go to practice every day. So I was kind of regimented and in pretty good shape well let me just say when i hit undergrad in college let it loose a little bit right gained that freshman 15 ate double portions and at the dorm and tons of donuts and oh man of course drank a lot and my activity level plummeted so that was not cool and you know by the time i

was you know within a year of that i was like okay this is i went overboard let me get back on it and i'd righted the ship and ever since then i've uh you know i've really been not only just focused on being a good weight and staying athletic and whatnot um to look good but for preppingpping. And over the last, especially last decade, as I've become more and more of a prepper, physical fitness becomes more important. Also, when you get older, right? Because I'm nearing 40, not there quite yet,

but, you know, I'm 25, 26, whatever. You don't have much of a problem. When you're 36, 37, 38, it's not too bad that first day it's can you do that two days in a row can you do that three days in a row like if you had to bug out and you had to go 40 50 miles maybe you could go 20 or 30 miles real hard that first day but when you wake up that next day would you be able to move i mean desperate times anyone could do almost anything he's just gonna be in a lot of pain. But, you know, long story short, that's a big part of it. So physical fitness and all that.

But also, you know, balancing fun with work, with fighting against the banksters as I try to do. So I'm glad to be here, of course. And, hey, that's perfect timing. It's future Dan looks to be calling in right now. We'll talk to him for a few minutes. Let's see. Future Dan, live on air.

How you doing, sir? I am in action tonight, ready to talk about the news with you. Awesome. Episode 252, I just talked a little bit about routines and you know physical fitness with regard to prepping and a little bit about what uh the intrepid commander talked today with the master preparedness schedule and i was kind of gonna have a crescendo of how we are you know we kind of missed a great weekend for gotham Get Out, what we're planning, because it was actually pretty cold with a little bit of snow. But long story short, we are looking to do that in February,

and I'm trying to train myself, mind, and spirit and body for that. Yeah, I have been too, actually. I wouldn't necessarily use the word train. I guess it's a type of training, but I'm trying to acclimatize. So I'm going outside with less warm clothing for longer periods gradually. And I think temperatures this past weekend, I think I would have done just fine, actually. this past weekend, I think I would have done just fine, actually. And so in February, President's Day weekend, I believe,

is our templated schedule. Yeah, yep, yep, that is. It could be just as cold, and I'll be ready. I think I'm looking forward to it. I think some of the parameters of the test will have to be scaled. If it's relatively warm, then we get way less clothes. But if it's like, you know, zero degrees with a windshield and snow, maybe we get a little more than a T-shirt as an example. But I know that you're planning that deep,

and we're going to get with Intrepid Commander and NBC guy to iron that out. And we're going to get some of the hosts and maybe even some of the listeners some ideas and participation. Yeah, it's going to be good. And so as a graduate of Ranger School in the winter, that's exactly how it's done for that school, right? In the winter, obviously, you have the clothes that you wouldn't have in the summer. school, right? In the winter, obviously, you have the clothes that you wouldn't have in the summer,

and the food is increased rations for winter students, and obviously a lot less going in the water in Florida. So, you got to scale it, right? Gotham Get Out is not going to be Azure Highland or Dark Trail March. We did those in July both times. This will be what's necessary to get some takeaways, get some firsthand experience enduring. So I am looking forward to it, and if it's warmer, so be it. But February is February.

It could be just as cold. Certainly. It's February. Yeah, it's definitely very cold. And a big part of it as well isn't just can we survive overnights in the freezing cold. It's going to be about orienteering as well as crafting as well as ingenuity. We're going to both be fasted and potentially sleep deprived as well going into this and definitely by day two. So it's endurance, but it's also trying to accomplish things, not just like suffer.

Yeah, again, it's only two days. And it's just a lot of marching. And if you get cold, you just keep moving. And again, it's only two days. So put it into perspective. We're not doing this for a month. I'm sure you can put that in perspective. I'm still like, oh, man, bit off more than I could choose.

No, I'm ready for this. I'm ready for it. We got about a minute to go before we do hit commercials real quick. Come back to the dashboard. There's lots of news. I didn't really talk about much news. Is there anything you want to hit on right before we go to break? Yeah, your background in cold weather growing up in the Mountain West

had you doing what for what amount of time outside and freezing temperatures growing up? And maybe you want to answer that in depth later or real quick now, but that directly affects how well you do in the cold. And if you don't have a lot of it, you need more of it to be good at it. I think a big part of it, well, I grew up in Colorado at about 8,000 feet, and the main suffering in the cold where you just kind of learn to be tougher about it. It was football practice, right?

You know, freezing the ass cold. We would just practice outside. You put plastic bags over your socks. Did the end of your season have snow on the field? Were you still playing football tackle in snow conditions out there? Yes. I remember pretty much we would end around Halloween, and it would definitely snow around past Halloween.

Occasionally we would practice inside like a barn, literally a heated barn. It was pretty awesome. Now I go back and think on it. But I'll say this. One thing about the cold and maybe even the heat is if you don't, you could, like, lose that toughness about it. So just because you did it in the past, you've got to could lose that toughness about it. So just because you did it in the past, you've got to re-acclimate to it.

So I definitely grew up skiing, which is an advantage, a lot, like all the time outside all day in very cold temperatures. But I'll tell you what, we never played football after first week in November. State playoffs weren't that long. But other than that, you know, first week in November. State playoffs went that long. But, you know, other than that, you didn't play on it where I came from because the ground was frozen solid and, you know, pretty much dangerous to play. That's hardcore if you're playing, you know, in winter conditions. Did you ever play when it was snowing?

Yes, but maybe, I mean, it was usually fresh powder in Colorado. So it was just like craziness and fumbles, and it was fun as hell, especially practice, right? We'd have fumble drills and all types of fun stuff. But to be honest, though, my second, or just as cold, was skiing and snowboarding, any of those places, whether it was Vail or some podunk mountain that was actually just as good, never heard of.

And at the top of those, man, the wind is biting cold. Even in the afternoon, it's freezing. So skiing is definitely a cold, cold experience that I'll have to rely on as well. So this is a shout out to except the commander uh i'd like to hear about your your um frigid temperature experiences growing up and so we're we're kind of level setting the competition among the three of us i got a lot of it i gotta admit i'm not that worried about the cold you know crafting survival you know you know stuff and fire making the time will tell whether i can live up to my own expectations and others but

you know i may be trying a lot of things new in that arena but just being outside cold yeah you know it's good to do it once in a while and you might have to do it to survive right um not not gonna necessarily enjoy being cold, but I'm not too afraid of it. Yeah. Can you stay effective as well? It's like, okay, you can suffer through it and it's not too bad. Can you still perform all the tasks you want? I think, hopefully, on the second day we're going to be doing some shooting

when we're really tired and cold. In a safe way. In a safe way. All right, folks. We will be right back. Going to the News Blitz Patriot Power Hour. Stick with us. We'll be right back. Patriot Power Hour Interception

February 25th, 2020, episode 85. Why can low interest rates be bad? In layman's terms, think of it as adrenaline. If you're running on adrenaline at all times, that is really taxing the system. And really, it could kill you. Sometimes you need adrenaline if there's a medical emergency. That can keep the patient alive, right? Bam, right in the heart like Pulp Fiction.

But guess what? You can't be having that all the time. We're not just seeing emergency measures. We're seeing unprecedented emergency measures. Very low interest rates for a prolonged period of time. They simply lead to bad and poor allocation of capital slash resources. Malinvestment, those investors, whether it's your pension fund, whether it's 401k, whether it's foreigners who buy a lot of our debt, by the way, all those folks, they want to get a return.

And guess what? When inflation is actually higher, even though they say inflation rate's low, it's not this low. And the lower these rates go, which just means inflation is much and much higher. Where does that end? This ends in the total, unfortunately, the total destruction in an exponential fashion of any mathematical model. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Target on my back, lone survivor last They got me in the sights No surrender, no trigger, fingers go Living the dangerous life Hey, hey, hey, every day when I wake

I'm trying to get up, they're knocking me down Chewing me up, spitting me out Hey, hey, hey, when I need to be saved Outro Music All right. It is time for the News Blitz Patriot Power Hour, January 17th, 2024, episode 252. Let's jump right in. U.S. missiles strike targets in Yemen linked to the Houthi militia. A pair of Navy SEALs have gone missing off of Somalia during a secret night boarding mission, voter fraud convictions,

well, they're challenging the narrative of secure elections. More is coming out. There have been some bills to outlaw militias introduced in Congress. Former NSA counter-spy says Jeffrey Epstein was part of Israeli network Mega Maxwells and the Mossad. Mega, Maxwell's, and the Mossad. Hezbollah could turn all of Lebanon into a war zone. IDF chief warns.

Deputy chair of the Russian Security Council is coming out and saying British troops in Ukraine would be a declaration of war, risky nuclear response. In the first segment today, I talked about how Zelensky was at Davos, the World Economic Forum, talking about how Europe needs to double down

in Ukraine and win the war there. But in the meantime here, this article, Deputy Chair of the Russian security council that says British troops in Ukraine would be a declaration of war risking a nuclear response by the way

that was also the headline military purge reported in China high level military officers being dismissed there's a report that the army is baffled by a sharp decline in white recruits in the last five years

pro-Palestinian rioters outside the White House hurl objects at officers as non-essentialers outside the White House hurl objects at officers as non-essential staff evacuate the White House. FBI stonewalls over the Seth Rich laptop production. Chinese scientists create mutant coronavirus strain with 100% kill rate in mice. Wall Street Journal says a Chinese lab mapped deadly coronavirus

two weeks before Beijing told the world. PLA, People's Liberation Army fake aircraft carrier in the desert helps China better threaten US Navy 16,000 Chinese illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol

since October. So it's not just illegal aliens from Central and South American countries. 16,000 Chinese illegal aliens apprehended since October.

Economics markets are relatively quiet. Bitcoin ETF came out a month, or excuse me, a week ago, and Bitcoin is down a bit. Gold and silver down a bit, but mostly flat. Other markets relatively flat to slightly down. On the inflation front, cost of shelter and energy

actually led to December's higher than expected inflation numbers. We're at 3.4% annual rate. The goal is supposed to be 2.0 percent annual rate which would make one think they they're going to raise rates further we'll see federal government budget deficit soars by 50 percent in december in December Federal balance sheet, excuse me, the Fed not the federal government, but the Federal Reserve

Central Bank balance sheet expands by the most since the Silicon Valley bank crisis in March of last year as banks arbitrage bailout fund. Let's round out the news blitz here with natural news and health.

We have a couple volcanoes, one in Iceland, we have a landslide in Colombia claiming 18 lives, and some flooding in Rio de Janeiro claiming 11 lives, declines in fertility and sperm counts worldwide linked to industrial chemicals. And last of the night COVID-19 shots linked to autism and vaxxed rats.

Laboratory rats. Future Dan, things are starting to pick up here mid-January 2024. So, Ben, pick your top three headlines that you would deem the most dangerous in the future. Well, one that jumps out at me right now, the declines in fertility and sperm count, because if that continues on this trend and persists, well, the population is going to totally collapse,

and that won't be good for economics or a lot of other metrics. When the population collapses, that could cause some real, real problems. Yeah, that's a long-term future danger. Number two. So we have almost being poisoned or soft kill. How about a fast kill? These bioweapons which China

not only, I guess, even the Wall Street Journal coming out and saying that the Chinese lab mapped the coronavirus two weeks before Beijing told the World. Wall Street Journal coming out and saying that. One of many articles come out in the last year or two just reaffirming everything we and others on PBN were saying. has come out in the last year or two just reaffirming everything we and others on PBN were saying. Anyway, they're talking— I think it got mapped in CRISPR, you know, years earlier. Yeah. In Beijing and Wuhan. Still whitewashing, aren't they?

So we're talking about the past, but also how about the future here where they're creating mutant coronavirus strain with 100% kill rate. So they're taking kind of the basis they're kind of taking you know the chassis of the coronavirus covid19 and messing with it and maybe even making it more deadly in a lab told joseph mengel it's it's exactly what the Third Reich was aiming towards. They're doing it on the greatest scale ever attempted. And all the other countries are doing it too, that have that scientific capability, all Europe, ourselves, because we have to, you know, it justifies a defense against it, right? So, biowarfare, offensive and defensive

bio-warfare, it's, it's an immediate high danger in 2024. Yes, yes. Number three.

I still think Ukraine and also China, but there's not really any news right here about China and Taiwan

too much. There's this military purge which we can explore. But anyway, what's going on with Ukraine? And if NATO or UK, an individual country, does overtly put troops in Ukraine or do what Zelensky asked them to do, I just feel like that could be, that's always something that I'm worried about. Yeah, it'd be like putting a trip wire,

like putting actual British soldiers right out there in the open to get killed, and that would immediately cause a triggering of the articles of NATO that go to war. So I'm not sure. That's Mendev. The number two, the last other president of Russia, for a while there, Putin, and he rotated the presidency. So now he's the vice chair of the defense committee

or whatever they call it. And sometimes I kind of wonder if that's a little bit for internal consumption, kind of just rally the Russian martial spirit. Oh, they have to use even more propaganda than we do, I'm sure. But it's, you know, I'm sure there's some truth to it too. But they've said there's already been a lot of red lines that have been crossed, so they're not truly red lines, but that doesn't mean we need to keep pushing them.

But, yeah, I think any sort of escalation to the wars we saw kind of break out big time in 2022 and continue to run in 2023, or any new major ones with Iran or, you know, Korea's or something, or even India versus Pakistan, some just like random one because they hate each other. They're both heavily armed. You know, hopefully we ain't seeing much about that, but any sort of wars like that, plus bioweapons, plus destroying sperm counts and all the other damages they're doing,

soft kill, those are pretty big threats right there. You're not even looking at column three economics tonight. tonight and I would have thought one of your three top three would would would remind us of of the debt Armageddon that's out there but you've actually found you know three that are much you know more likely to be you know directly take your life stuff not just make you poor stuff right it's if you had if you're listening here and you had a 50% loss in your standard of living, that would suck. And if you're really already in the poverty section, that could mean you die or live right on the very edge, you become homeless, etc. That's horrible. But dying or the entire human race being extinguished from nuclear fire or just from no one can have children anymore,

both of those are worse than your standard of living going down by 50%, 60%, 70%. Unless, of course, that also means you die, which in the third world it will for a lot. Yeah, so that's the news. We don't want to always dwell on the worst of worst scenarios we don't always pick the top three most dangerous headlines but it's probably interesting to do that this week ben and maybe do it again periodically and compare them down the line certainly because it would be different on different weeks and different years for sure. So if you want to dig into some headlines,

I'm ready to talk about many that you covered in the Blitzkrieg. Yeah, you did a great job sourcing these. I've seen several of these, but several of these were relatively new when I first reviewed them earlier. Let us, let me just pick one not out of the hat, but here's one that just kind of sticks out as, huh, didn't even hear about this until, of course, Future Danger and going through it. Democrats propose bill to neuter militias.

What do you have for us on that one, future Dan? Yeah. So it's directly an infringement on the second amendment. Bearing arms is all the activities that they're proposing to ban after categorizing it as militia behavior. Right. But it's bearing arms in every possible traditional sense.

So this is going nowhere in Congress. You know, it's not going to pass the House. It's just not going to happen. It wouldn't make cloture in the Senate. But this 2024, they roll stuff out years and years ahead of time. They're just coming back at it, coming back at it. If they want to go down the route of saying that bearing arms in groups and actually undertaking private military training is in some kind of way

that violates freedom of association, that you can do it in your own groups, in your own manner, right? Peacefully and safely, of course, to be lawful. But that activity is banned. I don't know. Maybe that's just red meat for consumption to their voting bloc. Maybe they don't even mean it. It would be entirely unenforceable anyways, and unconstitutional.

I've seen a lot of folks say, well, the militia, maybe they can bear arms, but not just your average dude that's not organized. That was wiped out

by Heller. The the argument was that you know dc could restrict gun rights because you know it meant only in militias the supreme court weighed in on that i forget i think it was scalia or or alita they they wrote the opinion opinion. So that's done with. That's good because. Gun rights are individual rights, right? Groups don't have the right to the First Amendment rights or all the other amendment rights. So the Second Amendment is individual.

And it will be forever because I believe it was Heller. If it wasn't, it was another recent Supreme Court gun case, but at least I know that that's decided constitutional law. Which is good. It's way easier to protect those rights as an individual than as a group because they can pigeonhole and put everybody into, oh, you can only have it if you're part of a hunting club or a militia or whatever. They have heard some of those far leftists try to say, and even how they do it in Europe in some areas, et cetera,

then they consolidate those all, centralize them all, and then they can easily just take that away at some point, right, once the decentralization is gone. And that's the great thing about being a prepper gold bug bitcoin stacker second amendment advocate and uh gun enthusiast is when you take those hobbies and investments up you're decentralizing from uh the main power sources which which is definitely a good thing. So anyway, I could see a lot more demonization of militias in the next few years, next decade or so. So this is a smoke signal to kind of watch, I think.

That's kind of why I brought it up, I guess. Yeah, and again, they picked on well-regulated militia. They wanted to see how well they could regulate militia. Militia in every definition of the 1700s was the able-bodied male population of the nation. The way I always read it is, I don't need to get into an English analysis of it per se, but it's because a well-regulated militia is so important, all men must be able to join that. They don't have to join it, though. It's just like an example of why we need men to be able to bear arms is because

uh the militia is so important and they need to be kind of pre-trained before they even get in there let alone for self-defense outside of militia activities like someone breaking into your home so keep that in mind too um let's see yeah yeah the um you know there wasn't supposed to be standing armies of any particular size, large size. There wasn't until the Civil War. And even after the Civil War, the U.S. Army shrunk to a very small size before the World Wars. And conscription, you look at the phenomenon of conscription. That was never in doubt. Second Amendment kind of always made that never in doubt that it was constitutional. There's never been anything in the Constitution or any challenge to the idea that during times of war, you can be drafted. war, you can be drafted, right? We haven't, we've had an all-volunteer force since Vietnam because by the time we got to, you know, in the 1960s, you know, a conscription didn't work

anymore. Just too many people refusing to be conscripted, right? And too many people being brought into the service that didn't want to be there and were ineffective and lowered morale. They went to the all-volunteer force. But, you know, if you want to talk about basic liberties that we have in this country, you don't have the liberty of not being conscripted, you know, within, you know, the laws established by Congress, of course, the ages and the, you know, physical conditions that you need to be in but you know that's that's that's with us it's always been with the society

that's not something that you're free from no and well what they did in ukraine was uh went ahead and changed the ages just a little bit so uh i want to surprised. I'm not saying they're going to bring the draft back in America or the West, but I don't know. All right. They could do it pretty fast, right? That's what selective service is. They could, exactly. They could go beyond like 25 years old or 35 or whatever, too,

if they really needed to. And from a strategic point of view, it would be a mistake for a country of our size and power to not be able to do it. It's very possible very fast. Yes, yes. Well, it goes hand in hand with this article of the Army Report where they're baffled by sharp decline in white recruits in the last five years. Are they going to be able to fill the ranks are they

gonna rely very heavily on other racial groups or in particular immigrants or uh more robots or what do you see here um and obviously they've had a low amount of with uh they've had a issues with recruitment generally as well as a fit and intelligent enough population to draw from has kind of been falling apart a little bit. But anyway, all those put together, but in particular declining white recruits signing up. There's clearly a lot of people out there that were in recruiting command positions at the highest levels. The human resourcing of their armed services army navy air force marine

corps now space force and you know coast guard coast guard too and and they they got decades of analysis on you know how to recruit and during, you know, different economic conditions. And, you know, for example, in the 1980s, with crack cocaine sweeping the nation and the economy strong and a, you know, societal disinclination to be in the military, at least in the early 80s, led to, you know, hard choices on, you know, what kind of people you could have in the military, and especially ones whose parents have been crack cocaine users, right? By the 90s, that was also a consideration. And you got to have healthy troops, right? And where that line is on what they'll accept, what fitness level they'll accept.

We've been classifying recruits for the World Wars, right? You know, A, B, C, D, and F, and if you had enough physical disability, you rated low and you couldn't be drafted, of course, all that. So the aspect of the lack of decline in whites enlisting obviously goes directly to the indoctrination of DEI that is rampant now. People don't want to join a service and have it thrust upon them, and they're not. Yeah, very straight. Num numbers don't lie especially over time as more and more numbers aggregate and the trends present themselves further

harder to cover them up too and also all the people that know people that was in the service that were forced to get the covid shot or ejected from the service for not getting it. And all the veterans are perfectly aware that during the next bioweapon attack, any shot can be ordered into your arm anytime the service wants to. And, you know, I got my share of shots, including all five anthrax. I got my share of shots, including all five anthrax. And, you know, I had spoken to other people when I was in the service about them going to, you know, the first Iraq war in Kuwait and just getting lined up with shots. And so you've got to concern yourself.

And before you jump all anti-New World Order on it, soft-kill depopulation, think about it rationally. There are diseases that can be weaponized that can also be inoculated against. So, you know, from a military strategic point of view, how would you not inoculate your troops? How would you not, you know, especially for tropical diseases and other things, you've got to have the shots. It's not safe to have a force that hasn't had shots. Historically, diseases killed armies, you know, right up there with combat, right? Or more sometimes. I think civil war is more. Yeah, so it cuts both ways. You've got to inoculate troops. But if they're going to do something like experimental vaccines

that have increasingly shown themselves to be not healthy to have taken, yeah, I can understand why there's a decline in recruitment. Certainly. All those factors combined. But if we do hit a big-time depression, I've got a feeling there'll be a lot of people lining up for a job in the military, to be honest. So maybe the job market isn't so bad out there at this point.

If there's a big deficit of people trying to sign up, what do you think? Well, how low is that percentage you have to get before it's conscription? There's trade-offs being made, I'm certain, in all the armed services. Think about it. If you don't have the personnel at the basic job levels, the entry-level job levels where there's lots of troops to do those roles, and it filters up to the, you know, the organization in different levels of command and those,

those units have a capability. And if they're lacking a certain percentage of their table of organization and equipment and the O in the T O and E is, is the people, then that, that unit's not capable, right? And at what point does the Army, in particular, go back and say, well, we can't perform these missions. We don't have the troop strength to do those missions. That's when, very quickly, Congress would consider a conscription.

So 10% decline in whites joining the military probably isn't enough to start having a serious conversation about conscription. But there is some percentage of overall decline in recruitment where they're going to have to have that conversation. Like, we've got to man the DMZ in Korea, right? If we're not on the Korean border, that entire peninsula gets way unsafe, let alone the Middle East and Europe, the eastern flank of NATO. So, yeah, and then there's always, you know, Taiwan defending that.

You know, having the availability of forces to defend it. At some point, the description would be right on the table. The Department of Defense pretty much came out and said that they'd be ready to fight two or more of those theaters at once. And I'm sure they would be for a while. a while, but I feel like, I don't know, that supply of new recruits would be needed real quick if something really popped off and we got involved. But on the other hand, are we going to be using mass armies? Even if we do get involved fighting China, it'll be Air Force assets, space assets. It's not like people digging trenches.

I don't know. That could change, though assets. It's not like people digging trenches. I don't know. That could change, though. Hopefully it would not. Well, I'll tell you this. The last war and the only war that we withdrew, and it was a clear defeat, was with a conscripted military, right? Vietnam. military, right? Vietnam. And bringing about a historic loss in war and a humiliation for the United States of America is something that, looking at the contemporary environment and listening to

the Democrat Party, I think they'd be down with that. They'd come in in seconds okay, in a war included, with a conscripted military that couldn't fight effectively. That right there is highly dangerous in the future. I'm a big fan of boxing and MMA, and I see the Western, kind of the way our military is set up is to be very strong and a good puncher as well but mainly fast kind of like a Muhammad Ali not a Roberto de Moran or Joe Frazier slugger take two to give one but your one's going to be big. That's more like what the Red Army is, whether it's China or Russia. We've seen Russia kind of get beaten back because they're throwing into the meat grinder.

But the point is, if the West lowers itself to that kind of just slugfest, just throw as many bodies at it as you can. You know, they outnumber us big time, and it would just be so bad on the morale here at home that I definitely don't think conscription's the right way to go. But I guess desperate times, desperate measures, so we'll keep an eye on it. Yeah, well, people stop volunteering.

It's going to be that. It'll be a weaker military, and it might invite an attack. Definitely. We got about nine minutes to go. Any articles you really want to hit on? Because time will fly. I wanted to hit on something else you said about this whole topic, right? And I want to let you know that i just for some reason

i my dvr caught and i watched uh terminator salvation the other night okay and uh i'm just i was watching it again i obviously saw it when it came out big big terminator you know story fan, always was. I'm just wondering, how formative for you was the factories in Terminator Salvation where the robots, Skynet goes active. That's the movie where they depict Skynet going active. I'm just wondering. I think that was 2009 that came out. How much of an impression in terms of how realistic that what might be in your lifetime was it when that came out for you i will say even before then with terminator 2

like the nuke scene of la getting nuked of course that famous scene on the playground or whatever like uh i remember seeing that when I was like 10. I'd be like, holy crap. What I'm talking about is earlier you said that, you know, will soldiers, you know, troops be replaced by robots? And I'm just thinking in terms of the feasibility of that. And I'm just wondering, maybe I'm underestimating the feasibility of that soon. We're not there yet.

But obviously, Ukraine has seen a lot of robotic warfare, the most ever in one war. But still, do you really think the T-800s are going to be stepping out pretty soon? Are you concerned about it, Ben? Okay. I would say they already have the aerial drones damn near at the same level, if not more lethal. They don't have laser beams, I guess. But we're already there with full drone, Terminator drones in the air. But they're remotely piloted

aircraft. That's not the same thing. I believe and expect if it's not already happening then they will soon. They can make it the onboard AI able to make all decisions remotely to get around jamming and stuff.

I don't think that's there yet. I don't think any military is trusting that that they want to be the ones blamed when that goes wrong i think i think i think that it's all remotely piloted and will be for a while well i mean that makes sense and these are like prototypes that are being worked on or perhaps ready but not like mass production no so i don't think there's like a terminator army ready to roll out right now but it's kind of at that level of terminator 2 or in salvation remember where like like here's the the prototype here's the chip but then you know they don't have the whole army yet but it's the basis of it that could go into production pretty

quick in 5 10 20 30 years down the line yeah yeah, then it is full robot, robot army. So I take your point that the aerial platforms in terms of everything except for the piloting is pretty close to salvation in 2009, but the ground vehicles, especially the walking ground vehicles. So, you know, I watched that movie, you know, they had the microuclear reactors, little box nuke reactor going into those things. I'm not certain that's feasible yet. Yeah, no, the batteries in the way can hold that much power right now. So that's good.

Well, it wouldn't be a battery. It would be a nuclear reactor on board. And they were wise in the movie to point out that this is what it takes to get something that can replace a soldier, walk and shoot and fight on and on and on, right? We know the movies, they're hard to kill. They kept going forever. So miniature nuke reactors, I'm not sure that's feasible on a large scale. I'm sure people are experimenting with it chinese are probably in the forefront of getting those things down small enough but something tells me there's lots of problems with harnessing nuclear reactors you

know reaction that small and without it you're not going to power anything on the ground for for long and most of these drones that we're seeing in Ukraine, the most damaging ones, they look like missiles because they're loitering munitions. They're mortar launch. They circle around for a few hours and drop on their targets. So I think the future of drone warfare, it's not going to look like Terminator Salvation.

But we know we're getting into that and towards that it's just this period of time like when the the first tanks came out like right you can get you can get to what they'd end up being yeah yeah i was actually having some visions in my back of my head of like oh well this will be like world war one compared to like 1980s technology of aircraft and tanks so there's a continuum 50 60 70 years down the road what all these drones look like but yeah i agree it's not like there's still a lot of humans involved for quite a long time for for better or worse um hopefully that means we'll be less likely to just go to crazy war but on the other hand it's human lives at risk um so yeah there you go yep and there'll be a lot of americans that they're drafted into a real meat grinder war

that would really be worried that the leadership of the country wasn't doing it just you know to put put an end to them put an end to them and lose the war. Putting the United States of America into a position that Germany suffered in 1945, I don't doubt for a minute that there's lots of people in this world that would like to see that happen this century.

That's a deep topic to talk about, but we're talking about Patriot Power Hour because that's what we do. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. All right, one article I can't, I'd be remiss if I let this pass by. The U.S. budget deficit soared 50% in December as fiscal collapse under Biden accelerates. Long story short, everyone knows our federal government has had a huge deficit, Story short, everyone knows our federal government has had a huge deficit,

trillions and trillions every year of a deficit. This number spiked, almost doubled to $7.6 trillion during COVID. It then dropped a bit from $7.6 to looks about $5.6 trillion6 trillion but guess what it's back up about halfway so we're already almost back to the covid level deficits that we don't even have an emergency going on right now this looks really concerning total out of control national national debt. Everybody, my advice to you, and this is financial advice, is get out of debt, especially with high interest rate, if at all possible. You want to get out of this financial system before it bursts and have some cash on hand to maybe buy up some assets when people are panicking. That's my financial advice.

Awesome. With no warranty on that, we know. For sure. For sure. But, man, it's, yeah. We're beyond the exponential point of no return on national debt. Everyone already acknowledges it will never be paid back

it's just when will that actually cause problems well we'll be watching every single week future Dan we'll have to wait until next week to talk about it because it's time to go Intrepid Commanders coming on air here it's been a good show thanks for joining me episode 252

yep 252. Yep. 252 in the books. I'll be with you next week. Looking forward to it. And like always, if breaking news brings about a crisis or an emergency that needs to be talked about, we'll be doing a Patriot Power Hour special in the interim. In the meantime, thank you for joining us. Thank you for listening to the Patriot Power Hour on the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Thank you.
