breaker of Banksters and future Dan, the editor of future danger.com. What do you want? Statement of statement of 2025. It is episode 295 closing in on episode 300. This has been the Breger Bankers here with future Dan. Yeah. Yeah, that was Brad Pitt yelling at you. What do you want?

We're still learning amateur podcasting getting the studio, right? We hope to be on an hour ago, but had to fight through some technical challenges, but great to be back with you ago, but had to fight through some technical challenges, but great to be back with you. Yeah. I blame myself.

I guess, I don't know. I used a different browser and everything was fixed, but that was like the last thing I tried obviously, cause it worked. And then one thing for a intrepid commander. I don't know why stream yards defaults. Every time you go into the studio, it defaults to replay yours every time you go into the studio it defaults to replay in your music every time so if you ever forget to toggle off the replay it'll happen I had everything fixed including that earlier but I was had to restart my

computer multiple times lost all the settings but anyway who gives a crap we got so much going on a lot of great great news. A lot of, you know, dangerous news as well. We'll cover it all here on 295th episode of Patriot Power Hour. Yeah, what do you want to hit first? Well, we're going to do the news blitz in the second segment. What I want to do is really focus on the fact that we are now using video as a medium of reaching our audience, trying to connect with folks, trying to inform folks, trying to think through all this craziness going on for better and worse. So with that said, we are of course live and anyone that's watching on the video will be able to see a few of the videos we're going to play and those listening on the podcast

Archive, etc. You'll still be able to hear the audio. I'm pretty darn sure. Let's very hopeful at least And in the future once we get a little bit more tightened up on the tech stuff all that we will be live more Consistently so you can kind of join in and watch these videos. And of course on rumble, actually on rumble, you can always find the archive video, not just the audio where you find the podcast. So what you're telling me is the days of, you know, not to, not to bad mouth speaker, I'm not, you know, uh, advocating for or against, but we used it right. And it could at times, depending on the sayings, cause we're, we're You know advocating for against but we used it right and

It could at times depending on the say because we're broadcasting not in the same location frequently Trying to tie it all in we would have dead air Lost episodes. Are you telling me that with the move to stream yard that that that phenomenon might? Not be happening to us anymore? I hope not. I can't guarantee anything. But I knew I know for a fact that it was a whatever reason Google Chrome fixed the issue. I was trying to use a different browser because I don't want to use Google. But freaking Google worked ironically, but it's all good. So start looking at these videos. Yeah.

Yeah. Let's do that. I just wanted to say there was a couple hour long Patriot power hours that are lost in the ether and just a conversation between us. I want to assure everybody they were good shows. They just never got recorded. So despite our technical difficulties Tonight it's I think we're moving to a better place and yeah video we've never had this before so

I'm watching you. We're just gonna explore X a little bit tonight There's a lot of news that isn't gonna be on the heat map dashboard because do you know why can you guess why I know why but I have the inside information plus we've done 295 plus episodes together but tell the listeners why what the difference is between you know dashboard news and other type of news it's not dangerous it's actually good news you. It's not dangerous. It's actually good news. You're saying maybe not dangerous news. Maybe the the banksters and the infamous they capital T H E Y maybe they're getting punched in the nose figuratively and politically

right now and there's always good news and we often don't focus on it on Patriot power. We also don't focus on the petty daily, you know, run of the mill political showing the hypocrisy of what another member of the other, you know, point of view said today. So, you know, try, we try to rise above the petty stuff. You know, if you want that, go, go watch cable news. Somebody's doing that right now on cable. Certainly. Yeah, yeah. So new technique suggested right in the middle of our technical problem. So it made just a little bit more complex of a Patri patriot power hour tonight, but I said, you know, why don't I just DM you some? Posts they're not tweets anymore posts

That we could just talk about that, you know again They don't belong on the heat map dashboard and everything on the heat map dashboard on future danger goes to an archive It's designed to be informative on that danger indicator. So We're just gonna talk about some good news for once. We don't usually do this. We got about 14 pieces of good news. Then we're going to take a very short break and come back with the normal dashboard newsblitz

and then review some of those articles. And of course, be looking out, never assume that we're out of the woods quite yet because we're not, review some of those articles and of course be looking out never never assume that we're out of the woods quite yet because we're not but I'm looking forward to some good news this will be fun you ready let's get going yeah so uh lots of intelligence assets who are leaving their transponders on for a large group of uh ex-users and other platforms too that watch where planes are flying are,

you know, they're not hiding it that the U S military is putting the, uh, the, the, the signal birds all up and down the border, down the Gulf of Mexico into Mexican airspace. We reported on that last week. So Mexican drug cartels are seriously being targeted right now that was one of the I guess it was a surprise or I didn't know that on inauguration yeah inauguration day Trump was going to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organization maybe I missed the memo but when he said that one of the first things he said, I swear after he got sworn in, I was like, hell yeah, that is a great way to start.

And they're treating them like they're al-Qaeda with this. These type of air assets. And, you know, there's been some firefights and hitting them. I don't know if they've gone for the jugular quite yet, or they're more preparing for a big strike all at once down the line, but definitely interesting to see here. It's leveraged, leveraged. And you better be sure just, you know, behind closed doors, you know, you

show the Mexican government what could be right now. This does lead us in a direction though that would activate a future danger Danger indicator and that would be war unconstitutionally waged. There's nothing That's ever been passed by Congress that authorizes a current strike in Mexico So if you if you believe in our Constitution Congress would have to vote on this So, if you believe in our constitution, Congress would have to vote on this. But if there was a severe enough incident or enough building pressure publicly, Congress can pass a declaration of war.

Or they would use other words these days, it would be an authorization of force. But constitutionally, that's a declaration of war. Another article here. HHS splurged more than 22 billion on grants for migrants, including cash for cars, home loans and startups. There you go. Just coming out. And that's some of the kind of news that Doge is bringing out that would build public support if you know things don't get controlled on the border which

Everybody seems to think is happening, but I'm waiting for like more hard evidence By the way, you see this is posted at a little bit afternoon today Eastern the The post I sent you I put him in chronological order. So we're looking at a snapshot of positive news coming out since basically noon today. Now Musk tweeted or retweeted something about how such large numbers millions billions trillions are impossible for a human mind to truly comprehend So instead you should convert it into number of taxpayers or some other you know the entire life of a taxpayer all that. What I've done in the past was convert this to an aircraft carrier. So now these were using like 2013 or 14 numbers but Gerald R Ford class supercarrier was like 16 billion.

The latest. Yeah, the latest or up to date in the Nimitz, like the single most expensive object, the US government or any government buys ever is, you know, space shuttle, certain spacecrafts are up there too. But this nuclear aircraft carrier costs a lot of money. It was less than this. So this is more than an entire fully laid in with all the fixings nuclear aircraft carrier for for grants and migrants. This is just one one article of a lot of waste and spending. So just keep that in mind. I looked at that as positive news because, uh, you know, RFK junior's in and that's 22 billion that could be cut pretty fast. Certainly.

Yes. RFK did get confirmed today. Ron Paul is bad. Ron Paul is getting vindicated, loving it. Got a smile on my face, but, uh, on this the What do you take on the current situation in Ukraine and Dr. Paul here? That's right and the Europeans are freaking out about it but they have no say in the matter ultimately. And unless they, unless Zelensky, you know, goes with them and they try to fight the war, continue the war against Russia without our support which they won't do so you know Real question for me is will be will Britain at least be brought in as a token You know are they gonna have some kind of? Summit and peace treaty where United States Russia and Ukraine are the primaries

to the Treaty event and to signing the treaty and then their secondaries. How will how are they gonna they're gonna they're gonna have to placate the Europeans somehow but for now Trump's just leaving them out of the conversation and it's driving them wild. We have so much news and stuff to get to but this is like a three four minute video. So we're going to skip it for now. Yeah. I didn't mean to watch the video down the line.

We're going to watch the video too. Every episode as well. Might've just turned Patriot power hour into 90 minutes at this rate. Cause we're going to have a lot more content this way. Let's keep rolling though. Go ahead. Uh, tell us about president Trump firing dozens of employees, department of education and small business administration.

Well, hang on, hang on. I just sent you the posts. I didn't read all these. So, that's okay. We have day jobs, unfortunately, but I'm not sure I need to go past that headline, right? I mean, that's happening.

Right. That's happening right that's happening I Think I didn't catch a post for it, but I heard the news today that one of the lawsuits blocking the buyout the federal worker by yeah was the the union sued and Judge said you know I'm standing so You know more winning I? and sued and judge said, you know, I'm standing so you know, more winning.

I saw that. I have no idea if there's another appeal or another route for them to keep pushing. I'm certainly going to keep doing it, but it's pretty clear that Trump's in the right here, even to basic everything. He's everything he's announced is drawn lawsuits right so the more that are launched is

Is just to me more opportunities for his legal team to start laying the groundwork for You know at this point the Democrats would be stupid to let it get to the Supreme Court Because that could get you know You know final decisions that blows them off forever Well, I don't know about forever. Maybe the rest of our lives though. It was just you know decades decades They could get things can get locked in place. We know that so Yeah, the firing of employees, the transgenders, gender surgeries, the impoundment, just, you know, choosing not to spend funds.

They're gonna I think Trump's team is probably looking back saying, Yeah, more, more. Go ahead. We knew this was coming. Yeah, bring bring all the suits you can. And we'll, you know, we'll, we'll find a way to get them, you know, appealed all the way to the Supreme Court of the land. I think that was part of the strategy of going after USAID first, because a lot of those NGOs and these nonprofits and dark money pools and stuff help facilitate

and pay for those sorts of lawsuits and at least fundraising for those lawsuits or other sort of fundraising and propaganda blah blah blah. So kind of neutered that up front and now if the big money wants to go after Trump, they're going to have to do it more out in the open. That's definitely one benefit of going after going after that NGO machine up front, you know, Democrat deep state money laundering to NGOs. Oh my God. That's going to get this is only beginning of exposing it.

We got a post coming up a Bernie Sanders reaction to it. It's serious. Yeah. I'm not laughing, but I am just because I'm just a little happy that finally the stuff's being exposed. I knew this stuff. I know a lot of people out there knew this stuff was going on, but like to see it happen, to see the dagger every day being thrust deeper in exposing more.

Uh, so much damage has been done already. It'll take years and years just to go through it all. That's a, that's a good thing. Um, well, it's not good that much fraud and stuff happened, but at least it's being exposed. All right. Cash Patel, deep state braces for cash. Patel's possible Epstein files release in the next 10 days.

So you and I were talking about Epstein list a little bit and you appropriately said it's being used big time for leverage. I said yes I understand the 3d chest and he could totally use it long term Maybe get more value out of it by leveraging against people But on the other hand if they actually just released it, it would just be so big I think that might just be worth it. Just just I wanted to just release it They say maybe it will be released the next 10 days. What do you see in here?

Maybe partially released. Who Epstein ultimately is working for? I don't think that's coming out now. Who was the client list? Who went there? That is multiple dagger strikes to the Democrat deep state. dagger strikes to the Democrat deep state My just gut reaction on on this article is first first thing I think of is I've I don't think I've ever really listened to cash, but tell I Never spent the time to listen. He must have what it takes to convince Trump that he could do this job It's one of those personalities in politics that I don't even know him right now, but I'm pretty sure in a few weeks I'm really gonna have heard a lot from him after he gets his confirmation Yeah, and

Let's talk about the Middle East right this you know the suspicion is that? Epstein was a massage agent or or MS M16 British and massage agent Maxwell yeah maxwell's dad i think dislane's uh yeah father right was exactly that um let's look at the uh the uh gaza largo idea a week later right trump trump had announced that last week what i'm seeing and it Last week what I'm seeing and it actually this is wasn't entirely unpredictable Everybody except for I think one Gulf State foreign you know you know print you know head of something spoke up and said it's a plausible idea

But pretty much Trump has united the entire Arab world And by the way in Israel you know there's rabbi groups now coming out saying that that genocide in Gaza, like cleansing, cleansing, Gaza, of any Palestinians is unacceptable. So if you know, if it if it is 40 chest shaping up, you know, think about it. He got all the sides to reject his plan. Right. That could, that's the type of thing that could just shake things loose, start to get some kind of agreements that actually lead to some kind of peace in,

uh, in Gaza. I'll never say peace in the Middle East cause I'm pretty sure there'll always be a war there somehow, but you know, at least get a resolution on what Gaza is right now. So he's almost like a mediator in a civil trial or two parties, huge disagreements. A mediator says I want to see both of you usually mediators a retired judge or even a current judge sometimes and they'll be like, I want to see both of you guys here. You know, 9 AM on Tuesday, both come with realistic offers and. This time Trump or the mediator put his offer out there to start and it kind of, you know, sure Israel liked it, but the rest said, hell no, hell no.

So now it's like, okay, well, you don't like that. We need to see your realistic counter. Yeah. I don't think Israel likes it. Uh, I don't, I don't think. No it. I don't. I don't think they do. No. Because the US wouldn't take it all over? Is that why?

The only route to that is the history of that effectively, they seized it. And they cleansed the land of Palestinians. And do they want Gaza? Do they need Gaza? Is there economic value in it? Do they really believe Trump could ever build that I don't think they do So it's a bad plan for them

Plus if Epstein was involved in the Mossad there's leverage there Publicly standing right next to the Israeli PM. You know saying everything great about Israel privately behind the doors Trump gets his hands on evidence of that we might see the Israeli government ready to make concessions that nobody else could ever make them make. Interesting. Probably a blind spot for me now. I don't pay too much attention to Middle East, but I presume that Israel would have liked that to clear Gaza out of all their Mortal enemies, but so so I mean it's a body politic right there's there's the spectrum of opinions on that sort of thing Like there aren't every country right so you know

Some you know very conservative Edge of their political spectrum would like a greater Israel But they have an opposite spectrum right and those are the people coming out to say You know today and saying absolutely not Absolutely not should we ever go down in history as having expelled You know entirely right you gotta remember that you know doc you know what has happened in the West Bank Palestinians haven't been expelled. It's just settlements have been built, right? So it's not like absolute, you know,

march everybody away from the land, which is exactly what happened to the Jews in ancient history, right? I think twice. So we got about five more articles to hit and let's try to do it in about five minutes so we can go to the news blitz after a short break. I do want to welcome everybody who's joining us live for past double digit viewers out there.

Feel free to interact with us in the comments or chat section, whether you're watching on YouTube, X or rumble. We're actually simulcasting live on all three. And of course, if you missed some or all of the live show, you could find the archive podcast. Really wherever you find your podcast, just search for Prepper Broadcasting Network, Prepper Broadcasting Network, and you'll find the entire network and us. You probably know that already. And of course, pbnfamily.com. But let's try to do one art article per minute and the next five minutes, go to break. We'll come back with the full news. What do you say?

Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. Yeah. 75,000 federal employees have now accepted the buyout and this is the buyout that is purportedly halted while, while certain judges, you know, lay down injunctions and stays and whatever the right legal terminology is. But Mitch Lee is getting blocked by the courts. Meanwhile, the numbers keep going up. You can't make this up. This is pretty clever. My understanding is at least half or somewhere around half, I won't say at least, but somewhere around half federal employees really aren't even eligible for the buyout. So they say there's 2 million federal employees, but my understanding is it's actually like a million are eligible. So it's not 4% of the workforce, it's 7.5 or 8% of the eligible, I guess, non-essential,

non-military type, I don't know exactly, but yeah, it's, you know, upwards could be 10%. Now a good portion of that's early retirements, that's fine, you know, well wishes to those people, bye bye. It's not like we're gonna prosecute the average Joe that was just clocking in and doing minimal work. And some people at the Fed, federal government sure do a lot of work.

I don't know, some do. But regardless, don't let them say that this has not been successful because it's actually more like eight. And I think by the end, 10 plus percent will be voluntary resignation with a buyout, which I think that's a pretty good start. I wonder if part of that ineligible piece that you're talking about is the

provisional employees, because they were demanding the CIA names of provisional employees, there's certain agencies with certain hiring situations where, you know, they're not even full employees yet. He, he, that's why they're there, but I don't know, maybe they didn't get an offer, they're not even full employees yet. He that's why they're I don't know. Maybe they didn't get an offer They're just gonna get fired Yeah, exactly All right education department now the news last week was that this was the target this week but I think that was a head fake first Linda McMahon had to get confirmed and she was and

You know, so the the real attack on the Department of Education I Think that's coming. I thought we felt like it was gonna be this week, but There's news tonight of where doge is coming up Yeah In the good news segment of Patriot Power. All right. Yeah. Here it is. Go for it. Yeah. Uh the tweets missing but uh oh yeah there it is. Yeah. Word has Doge is entering the IRS headquarters in DC. Tonight. This is a freaking put PM. So, just like a few hours ago, I've stood

right by that sign multiple times in real life. So I've been there. They're flipping out future. Dan, getting their own in person audit. I would flip out if I had an agent come directly to my door for an audit. I would not be very happy. And apparently they're not happy. Doge is in the house. I predict major contract cancellations in that agency. And the irony of this kind of, if that's the right word, I'm sorry,

but just the surrealness of this, right? Let me give you a little jump back in time when the IRS was suppressing nonprofits that were trying to register during Obama's presidency, right? And Lois Lerner called up on the Hill like a stone wall, refused to answer. And the IRS director at the time was an entire worm,

went up before Congress and said that they were an independent agency, independent agency, independent agency. This whole facade of independent agencies, as if since the 1930s, Congress can create agencies that are not in the executive branch controlled by the president. That's what all these lawsuits are coming down to, is to reestablish, you know the the Democrats label it the unitary Presidential executive power theory or something similar like that so Yeah, you know iris is gonna take it on the chin very soon. I predict. It's not a hard prediction to make This is interesting yeah

You're saying So before this news, it was made known that the the new DOJ was going to drop charges against Adams. political retribution for breaking ranks on the immigrant issue, which for his city, a big part about that was the Texas and Florida governors, you know, started trucking people to New York City, busing them, dropping them off in the middle of blue cities. So that made things bad for Adams. He started to, you know, make problems, you know, admit that's a problem for his city He got indicted by the the Biden regime Trump Calls off the DOJ, but now look at this he's gonna cooperate So ice is gonna be getting into Rikers Island so deals are being made and

These are the kind of deals that are behind closed doors, you know, kind of, you know, you know, you do this for me, I do this for you and you know, none of it's Mayor Adams is flipping to the good guy side by saying, yes, we will let ice go into Rikers, find illegals and get there, get them out of here. As opposed to other sanctuary cities and places where they would release them onto the street. And it would take like 10 times the resources, much more dangerous to go and find these illegals after they were released. So anyway as more and more Mayor Adams start to work with Trump more and more are gonna capitulate as well I think so. Might already be a route at this point what do

you think? Looks like a route tonight. Alright, let's do this video. Looks like a route tonight All right And before we do look at the tweet you know it's it's it's You know this account breaking 9-1-1 useful account. They're ahead of things. That's for sure. Not not highly political either Just like you know when stuff has happened they put it out there, but here's a little dig on Democrats yeah Sheer panic in his eyes as he knows the jig is up. Yeah, he looks scared here Look at his eyes

This is good. You don't have to listen just Just look up. He looks disheveled. His head is red Right. Oh, yeah eggs under his eyes. He's he's losing sleep trying to come up with strategies to put a stop to what they're encountering or You know just figuring out. All right, this is gonna come out. How do we react to it? This is gonna come out but they got so much corruption in there that they can't do all the you know The the courses of action and branches and sequels that they're facing that looks like an opponent. That's in disarray

Route let's keep going a couple more Yeah Let's keep going. Couple more. Yeah. Sanctuary cities is going to get exactly what they don't want. More collateral arrests, more non-criminal arrests, more arrests in the neighborhood. Exactly. More dangerous collateral damage, which we don't want. That's why it's, that's awesome news. It's the first time I had seen it today. That Rikers Island man there that's so symbolic as well so all across the country Tom home and a warning to sanctuary cities let's be clear about what we're talking about here the non criminal arrest means they're looking for a criminal is illegal and they are searching in places now there's 12 more people and they're illegal they don't have status So they weren't a target but they are gonna get picked up and deported

So that's like a you know a real like leveraged threat on blue cities again putting the leadership of those those Municipalities in a bind right? Those are their voters They think they need that population so

You know those are the children of those people are the ones that they fully intend to brainwash in the schools They got to have them and and and you know cooperate and let us have the The criminals or we're gonna take them all is kind of the message here. That's very smart. Just yeah that's the type of strategy and yeah just finesse and just superiority across the board I'm seeing from all all you know whether it's economic whether it's immigration and all all across the board I'm seeing from all, you know, whether it's economic, whether it's immigration and all across the board. That's just a great chess move. It's like, give us, you know, one out of 10 of your, you know, of your community. That's the criminals and we'll leave the other 90 alone. We're going to make it very difficult for you to get employed. So hopefully a few

of you will just leave. You won't bring any more of your family over and those that remain. Hey, maybe eventually you can be part of the melting pot over time. Maybe not, but starting with the criminals and being like, we don't want to be violent. You're forcing us to come in there. And also, by the way, we're going to take grandma and your aunt and all of this, if we have to do it, self deportation is going to be way higher than you expect. We're going to have to look at some of those numbers down the line. Absolutely.

Couple more articles before we head to break in the news. Yeah. Yeah. Um, nationwide injunction against Trump's birthright, citizen executive order kind of talked about that. That's the fourth one lined up against just just this 14th Amendment issue, so You know there's you know it I have to believe they anticipated it but going back a moment you know the finesse and tactical acumen that you're seeing out of this government is Now you didn't think in your lifetime you'd see government that could effectively do things like this, did you?

No, even three weeks ago, I didn't think it would be half this, maybe about half this is what I expected at best. Yeah, and as a connoisseur of the video game form of recreation. I'd like to share with you something that I read, read on x earlier today about what's happening here, right? So first time you get the game and you plan against the game and it has you know, the

campaign like kind of work your way to the end, right? Most many, many games have been built on you against the game to, you know, beat it, beat the end, right? Most many, many games have been built on you against the game to beat it, beat the game, right? Beat the game, beat the last boss. Yeah, the bosses, the big hard things to defeat along your way, right? Somebody's saying that this is like Trump's first term was coming up against all the bosses and losing and losing,

but learning where they are and what they're doing and how to beat them. losses and losing and losing, but learning where they are and what they're doing and how to beat them. And this second term is like just starting over at the beginning and beating the game. And it wouldn't have been possible had he remained in office eight consecutive years that because of this, you know, highly rare event where, you know, second time in US history where we had a four year term, four year intermission and another four year term, is it even possible that for four years in the wilderness, he could surround himself, he don't Trump, what we're showing right now, could surround himself with people who had strategies. And the discipline

with which they kept it all quiet since being elected in November, in fact, all the way through the that we just went through. So, it and the training and pay for all the sailors and airmen. And the federal contractors that are democratic aligned that did all this work, bankruptcies are coming. They are they are going bankrupt. They are going out of business. They are getting wiped out. There are so many niche firms out there that rely upon the very grants that we're looking on clean energy scam. Like they've been founded and they exist because they get these grants. They're going away. Going away very, very quickly. All right folks, honestly, since we had a little bit of tech issues to start the show,

I don't want to try to play an ad. I don't know if I have the right one ready to go anyway. It'll probably mess things up. So what I'm gonna do future Dan is plug pbnfamily.com. What do you say? Yeah, what do they call it when the host just slips right into talking something commercial? They do have an exact, it's an embedded ad.

That's what they call it. I guess that's what it is. I believe it's like embedded within The radio host i'm pretty sure that's right. But anyway, I didn't make it a smooth transition, but I wanted to make sure it's obvious It's not it's an ad But anyway, you all that are see it looking uh, first off we got 14 Watching live, of course Thanks for joining us on Patriot Power Hour. Any comments, questions, thoughts, topics

you want us to talk about, throw them in the comments wherever you're watching us live. And those listening to us on podcasts, try to join us for a live show sometime. Anyway, what I'm showing here, pbnfamily.com. That's really all you need, pbnfamily.com. If you go there, you can find all the other stuff within the preposphere. I think that's what they call it, Tripit Commander and them. There's a member area where you can pay five bucks a month and there's a lot of free resources

if you don't want to become a member or just want to test it out But really PBN and family.com is the way to go There's very Oops, let me go back to the home page What I think is the best thing about becoming a member is the annual preparedness master schedule I actually don't have it on this computer. Maybe I should bring my Well, I'd have to scrub it for a little bit of personal info type stuff. But my point is there's a master schedule that goes an entire year, week by week.

It has things that maybe you only do once a year and then there's things you do maybe once a month. And then sometimes there's even things you do daily or weekly, especially if you are more of a homesteader or deeper into the prepping process. The point is, I need to get one of, or I have mine, but I need to display it. I can't right now. That's huge. Another huge thing is the Homestead Group Calorie Spreadsheet. If you're planning, and this is a little bit of a segue, future Dan, I don't know how much we want to announce or if really anything, but the ultimate preppers group calorie homestead spreadsheet, you can plan out how to really just store food for your family, how much to store, what type of

calories, the macros, even the micros, whether it's the freeze dried, storable food, or you have freezers full of stuff with some generators or whatever to keep them cold at least for a while. Put it all together. It's a really cool spreadsheet, really cool tool for you to be able to plan out your food preparedness 3, 6, 12 plus months down the road. So, Future Dan, I think PBN family and prep broadcast network. We've been here more than five years now. And, uh, really cool that we're still around and keep on thriving

through Trump's presidency. Don't I guess what I always tell myself is don't get complacent just cause Trump's in office, you know? Well, there's threats from other directions all the time. office, you know? Well, there's threats from other directions all the time. The ultimate preppers group calorie homestead spreadsheet and the food storage calories per five gallon bucket pieces. I think we need to just come out in the open.

We're thinking about our next installment of Azure Highland where you and I and the Intrepid Commander and Dave Jones and others who let us know they want to participate, get with us. It's possible. We're going to do something along the lines. It's going to be a new to the Azure Highland series because we're going to do it in the spring. It's going to involve exercising dietary restrictions so that we are you know been through it done that had to cope had to cope with you know

eating our preps so working title we can announce that later Exactly what we have you know up in the air Still very very much in the you know early planning stages, but this spring not a winter exercise this spring You know we're gonna do something special. That's you know maybe never been done on on podcast and and This kind of medium to to do you know to communicate to the proper community. So looking forward to that. You want to do the heat map? Let's do the heat map. Alright, let me pull her up. Future danger.com. I had it pulled up on a different thing but let's just do it right here. Hey that loaded very nicely and wow we do have a packed heat map so we had a packed first half of the show with quote-unquote good news or at least news that's not threatening or dangerous. On the other hand here we go with this has got to be three dozen articles featured Dan this is pretty packed and a lot of severity. You want to start running us through it? Yeah, yeah, I do.

So we've got three grade one happening now. Threat indicators, news, blatantly censored gold sores and vaccine effects exposed. Those three in and of themselves aren't a crisis, right? But you know, those, those among others are, you know But those among others can lead to trouble. New censorship though, it's just coming out now. It's really what's happening. USAID pushed a blacklist of independent media

while operating global propaganda network. And I'll tell you this, there's two other articles along these lines I tried to post on future danger earlier than this article from zero edge. And for some reason my website doesn't like those. It also gets really kind of screwy whenever I tried to post anything about a war with China starting. So I'm going to do something different.

I'm going to just jump all over the place tonight. Bamboo Eagle tankers, flood airspace off California coast for China focused air combat exercise. I posted that one, but more recently under this president, first time the US Navy sailed, not just one, two warships in the Taiwan Strait. Tried to put that into my indicator and my website just rejects it just really isn't there Yeah, they rebuild the future danger and some kind of look at whether it's been corrupted is By nefarious external actors in an order, but it's sort of hit or miss right I got that bamboo eagle article in there so Can't can't it's just a conspiracy right now jumping back to column one Elections aren't happening now, so they're not stolen right now, but this news has to get recorded somewhere because it's evidence or You know definitely you know

Ways in on the historical conversation about the 2020 Election so the president is coming right out When asked about USAID's role in the 2020 election interference says it could have could have played a role I think they probably tried right so he's kind of downplay it But you know he's saying it right he's saying he's not saying it, but he's saying it. You know what I mean and I'm sure you're gonna want to get into this one You don't really think of the Federal Reserve as an arm of the US government that would be at risk of facing pressure for sense of for you know suppressing free speech, but

some obscure manual if the Fed puts out had some very you know clear language that you know gave them the right to Not just you know squelch your speech but punish you for it, you know Don't give you access to banks if you if you're a reputational risk So we'll have a look at that one After we conclude the heat map dashboard column two security, president orders secret service to provide information on his two would-be assassins

or waiting to see if a false flag is exposed there. And news coming out just now of the Chinese spy balloon that flew across our country in 2023. Well, it was packed with American tech. I don't know if it was packed with American classified tech. It might have been commercial tech, but dual use technologies are a real thing.

And it's another bit of evidence that we're under constant espionage threat for many countries, but especially especially China and as predicted Philadelphia Loots and burns down itself after their football team won the Super Bowl Still riot didn't spread it was a one-issue thing one city thing, but now when rioting happenings happens we Put it in the archive

economically more news than we usually have right now Ben that's because the Indicators trade severely declines is getting activated by these tariffs so on The grades grade scheme. This is topical news has trade severely declined. No Or are we seeing headlines that might lead in that direction? Well, that's what a lot of people worried about with tariffs So Trump opposes 25 percent tariffs on steel aluminum signs a plan I think today for reciprocal tariffs on trading partners. So you see the posted official menu memo about that. And on the White House's website, I found another fact sheet. So that's that's the administration's point of view

on on tariffs. But you know, just a decline in trade, can we manage it? Would it be good for the country? Possible. Severely declined trade. Probably not good for any country. Gold soaring. You probably know the actual high that it's hit by now, but you know this this headline attracted at 2900 per ounce. Inflation skyrocketing. Well it's not skyrocketing. It's mid-grade, but annual inflation rate still at three percent producer prices surge fastest pace in two years little bit of question mark whether this should trigger a different indicator, which is government Statistics falsified so seemed pretty clear that once Biden didn't control some of these

Statistical agencies who might see oddities in the numbers. Food rationing, everybody's talking about the price of eggs. Yeah, well, we got egg rationing starting in stores and they're blaming the avian flu for, you know, they're calling the flocks. So eggs are at a premium now. I Think I commented you and Dave and James over the weekend. I don't think this is one of those commodities that is You know separating from supply and demand so I think

Supply will come roaring back, and we won't see eggs quite at the high price that they are now, but ridiculous right now federal government budget deficit its record 840 billion in the first four months of 2025 meaning the first four months of the Fiscal year 2025 which started in October and the interest on the debt right now is 1.2 trillion So people are waking up to this you got a lot of Republicans in Congress that are All about Doge right now. They're not gonna go against the Doge initiatives right now. They know those numbers Meanwhile Bernie Sanders and his crew are screaming bloody murder

come for more vaccination effects exposed Bernie Sanders and his crew are screaming bloody murder. Come for more vaccination effects exposed. Study finds 37 safety signals for COVID vaccines during pregnancy and the CDC as of tonight still urges women to get the shots. However, Senate confirms RFKk junior for health secretary so if you thought vaccine effects were exposed before we're already grade one black on red wait until he has an opportunity to release information we got uh out in hawaii kilua you know i think that number is wrong. I fix that right now. 330 feet in the air, like a hundred meters high,

not that high. That's a typo, man. Yeah. It's like Empire State Building almost. Still, it's, you know, that those hurricanes are just hurricanes, jeez. Those volcanoes in Hawaii typically not active like, hurricanes, jeez, those volcanoes in Hawaii, typically not active like that. So got to watch out. Unknown illness reported on a cruise ship sailing

from Tampa. Never saw a follow up from that. They probably figured out what it was probably nothing. It's one of those probably nothings. If there's one indicator on future danger That has the highest propensity for a headline that you can say that's probably nothing It's the pestilence for the falls anytime. I see any news about unknown mystery illness It goes here but in early 2020 that paid off in terms of tracking the news correctly because the Wuhan flu was a mystery virus and you know we all know what that led to. Argentinian stream is seriously turns blood red. You know that's just a kind of one of those biblical things like the rivers will run red. So yeah, it happened.

Probably nothing. And yeah, big earthquake in the Cayman Islands. Naturally though, no major disasters happening anywhere right now. The one part of the heat map dashboard that no one controls. So always prepare for that That's a heat map dashboard. Oh, yeah. Yeah one more. Oh

It involves banks too. So you're probably gonna want to talk about it. Thanks a breaker Center says Doge reform at the FDIC threatens quote the soundness of the banking system. Is that a Legitimate worry from a concerned elected official or a threat? We'll get into it though. Maybe because we have the opportunity to do this with visuals now. It's a whole new world for Patriot power hour really when we can see things. Why don't you like, can you do me a favor and scroll out on the heat map a little bit Yeah, all right. Yeah, so just look at the colors look at the order, right? Lots of topical news, but we have three things that are happening right now Colum ones a little bit more lit up than it's been in a lot of weeks, but less headlines

Lots of natural a lot more Topical news coming back into the economy But of course that always depends on when the government reports things right you know and inflation was reported this week What's your kind of? overarching view when you kind of take your eyes off of That specific indicators to look at the kind of the color grades across the heat map Is that does that match how you felt like the news

environment, the threat environment was before he came on board the show tonight, Ben? Well, honestly, when I look at these, I don't feel particularly threatened, not as much as I normally would by this many articles and this severity, but that's the micro.

What about the macro? The overall look. It's very busy. Yeah. That that itself might be an indicator of something to come soon. And it seems like they're fairly well a lot of them all roads lead to Trump I guess one thing to say but on the other hand a lot of these also seem like independent things going on not as much connectivity between them

all. Yeah. You have trade you have the tariffs which we're gonna talk a lot about the tariffs in a bit. The tariffs you have gold tariffs, which we're gonna talk a lot about the tariffs in a bit. You have the tariffs, you have gold and inflation, maybe though you can say those are somewhat related. But then the USAID and all these other Doze, just Doze in general is a whole nother another level and a whole nother topic, but I guess some of these could be more of just you know, the system striking back is what we need to look out for Now since this is striking back right now. Well, I haven't seen it either really lies indicators are old news old events

2023 Chinese balloon, right but USA USA ID funded in the past, right? What the Fed manual used to say, but it's getting changed now. It's, you know, it deserves being documented. You know, that's the point of future engineers document the way it was, the best of our ability. But you're right. There's a lot of disconnection.

We've seen, you know, during COVID where it bled straight across the heat map, you know, the COVID and all those revelations, the emergency use, right, the quarantines, the lockdowns, you know, that was directly causing the economy column to be full of black indicators, right? Yeah, this is black indicator, right? Yeah, this is this is this is um, shout. Well, it's a good term for it. Disjointed, disconnected, not unified and um I think you touched on it a little bit, but one thing to really point out is I feel a lot of these are after effects of policies from the last few years. So a lot of

these are news that either took place prior to January 20th, 2025 and or you know, maybe even a decade plus ago and it's really starting to bear fruit now in a negative way. So, a lot of this is it like brand new breaking. It's more after effects, knock-on effects and we got a lot of this to deal with for many years. All the bad stuff that's taking place is going to have ripple effects, right? So this is, I see a lot of this is ripples that we've already kind of talked about and it's getting worse or something happening. That's sort of the nature of the economic is that's that's pretty much happening now. There's no like really bad things happen in the past that are just coming out right now, sometimes in the banking realm, we'll learn about is recently and bamboo eagle the military sizes now

You're right that Trump's assassins has tried to assassinate a months ago, but look at the indicator false flags exposed the exposing of any false flags involved in that You know like I've said before some people like hey the truth is good getting out. There's good in isolation. You're, like I've said before, some people are like, hey, the truth is good. Getting out there is good. In isolation, you're right. I agree with you. But when it gets connected to a bunch of other threat indicators, how destabilizing is that news? So I want to go through a few of these articles in more detail, but we won't belabor the point too much. I won't even get into the debanking rules really but yes there was just like the IRS discriminated just

like a lot almost every nook and cranny of the federal government discriminated against conservatives one way or another whether it's debanking or censorship or straight up audits and prosecution, etc. So yes, the Federal Reserve, well, pretty much Jerome Powell, who's the head chairman of the Fed right now, says he's gonna rewrite, so pretty much bending the knee Rewriting the manual language on controversial commentary So from set senator Loomis who by the way is pro Bitcoin. So interesting for sure. I Wonder about pal I really do I

Wonder if he's there because of his demographic Right. I'll say it a white man to be the fall guy. Is he part of it? Is he part of why he's there is is that he'll be painted in history as you know the guy on the watch for the Federal Reserve when it all comes apart, it seems. He shouldn't get all the blame, but hey, if you're at the head of the head of the machine, when it blows up, you're definitely gonna get the blame and history. Is he a fall guy though? Or do you put him in that same space as Bernanke

who went before Congress and was just a worm when it came to, you know, are we, you know, during the 2008 financial crisis in that era was US Federal Reserve basically just floating billions upon billions to other central banks to keep them from falling apart, you know, outside of any control of Congress, right? Everything that the Federal Reserve does as a quote, semi private arm of the federal government authorized by Congress, it's, you know, that the blurring that happened

in 2013, I'm sorry, 1913 is, I think, you know, part of what Trump wants to get clarified, there's one executive. And that leaves me in my next point not really about this article, but about Jerome Powell is He gonna stand up to Trump is he gonna try to assert that independence and and I personally believe the president can fire him and ultimately Supreme Court would have to rule that that was constitutional because this is an executive agency no matter what any twisted kind of

you know 20th century you know thinking was that you know congress can could create independent semi-private entities. I don't think it's constitutionally sound. So Powell, he's more of a fall guy now as he live up to the the Bankster himself, Bernanke, who inspired me to be the Bankster breaker more than than anyone prior maybe equal to Jamie Diamond but Powell I mean he was in for during COVID and he's been in for five years so I think he's more than a fall guy he's a big player unless you think these guys are just front men for some areas folks let's just be fair that's his term right I mean he gets appointed for terms so 2018 February 5th so yeah just hit his seventh year pretty long time to just be a fall guy gotta be a real player I think I guess my point is not a Patsy so to speak.

I don't know if he'll fight. He said he won't. This is before Trump got into office inaugurated, but he did say he would not step down if Trump told him to. No. Push comes to shove, that actually happened. That's not exactly, he said he wouldn't step down if he was asked. the the the

the the the the if not in the Federal Reserve itself, which audit the Fed, let's do it, baby. But the IRS Treasury are heavily involved with the Federal Reserve, so they could find stuff that implicates the Fed at those other agencies as well. So with that, either you could do the backroom leverage like you talk about, or just upfront be like, look at all this fraud that Powell and Yellen Bernanke had and covered up. And, you know, there's way more than just that so

Powell needs to resign immediately. Well he Trump might do what he did to the Kennedy Center board. Just take it over himself. Fire him all in a point him chair of the Federal Reserve. That would be pretty wow man. I can't say that's awesome, but I don't know. That would shake your paradigm, wouldn't it? I can't support that. I just could not. Why not? Why not? If you want to put the country on the right direction

and you can't get it from this executive who has been raised his entire life attending Princeton University and Georgetown University Law Center, that Federal Reserve, that the Federal Reserve this this executive who, you know, has been raised his entire life attending Princeton University and Georgetown University Law Center that Federal Reserve and many, many other agencies were separate and outside of the control of the president. And this president says, No, wait, I was elected. This is my branch. I'm gonna run it. You're fired. And I run this

now. I'd be all for that If he's You know Take it over so that you can stand it down power it down and stand up a better option Maybe so you're always going to the financial You're always like, all right, then what to the numbers, right? I'm not doing that right now.

I'm just saying gaining control of an insupportant federal entity, federal executive entity, just in and of itself. Even if Trump was just chairman for a day and then appointed a new one, just to assert, you know, popularly elected control over this agency. That's what I'd like to see. Oh, that in itself, just to show that he can and that it always could have been done. Just flex on it. Yeah. Right.

I like that for sure. Here's, well, we could talk about this we want we had we were talking about a little bit of a veiled threat or maybe just outright threat of the banking system That collapsing is that a threat? Well, also there's all types of threats to from cyber attacks and they'll blame it on Doge or other issues if if Trump took over the Federal Reserve and then somehow they dumped the market 20% in two days purposefully maybe they would go down with the ship on that maybe they wouldn't what are your thoughts there. I think they're in serious fear of Elon Musk and the they launching a cyber attack that could actually penetrate and do any harm to these systems is

I'm not I'm not actually believing it. I'm hot. I mean, I'm not believing it's possible and I believe that if it was all Conjured up to look as though doge did it but some insider let The the the networks be penetrated that that would all come out eventually but if you want to jump to that article in column three look at look at what the Center for Massachusetts is kind of hinting at here this is the type of thing where they're laying the inoculation down out front Getting ahead of an issue, right? so that quote threat to the

sound safety and soundness of the banking system If if there is a plan and if there is a they that can bring down the banking system in late 2027 leaving the GOP it with a economic disaster losing That you know the Congress and the presidency to the Democrats and leaving Trump the second as the second Herbert Hoover Brought upon a great depression History will come back and look at where? Elizabeth Warren was so prescient about the matter

But to me that that seems like a gangster threat certainly a gangster threat I feel like it's a Fairly realistic threat if they want to go score sure, but it sounds like you think they won't do that or even can't at this point or they would be found out so quickly if it can be done. You know, the go back to this, you know, Saul Alinsky book that Rama Mount manual obviously studied when he said, you know, you can't let a crisis go to waste, right? And it's worse than that for the Democrats. They can't have a bank collapse this year or next year. Trump learned when he was waiting to restart the game and play it from the start again, that start signing national emergencies left and right. It gives the president enormous power

It gives the president enormous power by law. Congress put this into law to further empower the president during national emergencies. Imagine if the banking system collapsed, what that national emergency would look like, the powers that he would have. It has to be done when he has no time left to be the guy who fixed it. It has to be done so he's no time left to be the guy who fixed it has to be done. So he's, you know, just, he he's left holding the, holding the bag. And I, and this is, you know, you know, to me, history repeating itself, because that's essentially what they did to George W.

Bush, in my opinion, right at the end of his term, the whole thing came apart. Right. whole thing came apart. Right. Now, gold currently at $2,959. Silver $33.27. Silver up almost four times more. Only, you know, it's not a huge percentage gain, but silver is gaining faster than gold, but silver still got a while to get to its all-time high. Meanwhile, gold has already passed its all-time high, what, 10 times in the last couple of few weeks? Like it just keeps making new highs, maybe a little bit of a dip. Yeah, gold sets 10 record highs in early 2025,

daily highs, closing highs. So 3,000 is like very possible as early as tomorrow. Definitely by next week or into March 3000 plus dollar gold. We have that plus the tariffs and that's actually the name of tonight's episode Trump tariffs and your prepping plans. Well, hopefully if you already bought a lot of your preps that require steel aluminum aluminum, and imported goods, because those tariffs are, well, 25% on steel and aluminum, and some reciprocal tariffs on trading partners.

But at the same time, Trump trying to invest these two. That's not some trading partners. That's a whole lot of trading partners that's in that plan. I hopefully has the infographic. I think it does what really shows well. He's going to every country that doesn't have reciprocal tariffs. Yeah, they have it on us and we're putting them on them now. And from Trump's point of view, that's everybody. Everybody.

Everybody's catching a tariff if he if he does now now he's announced you're all subject to these tariffs But let's negotiate I will say that right the value-added tax system in Europe right is so complicated That what the leverage that Trump's placing with those things It isn't going to be confined to the economic sphere. It's it's that's leverage to bring about an end to The war in Ukraine as well. I believe because they cannot comply it There's no way that the European Union could actually just you know Undo its value-added tax system and for those who don't know what it is

Because we don't have that United States Basically, I'm gonna give it a shot Ben. I'm gonna try to define it, but please correct me if I'm this state, but essentially Throughout the chain of production to get to an end product Value-added tax means that each stage when something is integrated, products, parts and pieces are brought together and integrated into steps, there's a tax. There's a value add. Every time you add value in the production process, the government's taxing that and If you count the value-added taxing of products in Europe You know making a reciprocal tax plan with Europe Europe would be tantamount to Wiping out their value-added tax system, which is

you know the Gigantic part of how the you know those states spun themselves. So it's not going to happen. Did I describe the value added tax to your satisfaction? Pretty good. I would say if you think, just to break it down simply, if you feel like you get taxed two, three, four times over with sales tax and income tax and all these other taxes when you're trying to buy something. Well, in Europe, they have the value added tax, which is another tax within that entire system at the stages of production. It's a sales tax. It's just the sales tax is at every stage of production, not just at the end.

Yeah. It's like a producer tax that they pass on to you at the sale. So it might as well be a sales tax. It's just the sales taxes at every stage of production, not just at the end. Yeah, it's like a producer tax that they pass on to you at the sale. So it might as well be a sales tax, I guess. Ultimately it is and they couldn't they could I mean, Europeans are already running massive deficits that you know risk risk default in Europe just like our default but Yeah, they can't undo that. So what he's doing here, what Trump's doing here is gaining the leveraging needs to negotiate with every single country to the satisfaction of whatever issues. It's gonna be outside of economics most of the time, I think.

It's another great example of his finesse and strategy. And they were thinking of this ahead of time. They had to be planning all this a year plus ago. Trump said tonight, talking to the Indian prime minister that, that, that answering a question of reporters when he was with, with his counterpart, that he planned to do this. And then there was COVID. Okay. I can believe that that definitely threw off the last He planned to do this and then there was COVID.

OK, I can believe that that definitely threw off the last year plus of his presidency, let alone the election. So less than a month into the second term, this is how you beat the boss. Right. Well, I should have saved this image and infographic I saw earlier today. It showed like the top 20 countries we do trade with and with a nice bar graph just showed the tax and tariffs that they had on us compared to what we have on them. A lot of them we had zero on some. We had, you know, 2.5%, 5%, 10% where they had like 30, 50, 100% on our goods. But Trump is in a lot of cases, he's not even matching what they are at, but it's still going from like a few percent to 20%. But the other country still has like a 30 or 50% tax on us. Not in every case. But my point is he's just bringing it up to a, a reasonable comparison. He's not even going over the top, which he certainly reserves the right to.

That's part of the art of the deal and negotiation, I guess. Huh? Well, he only has his right because Congress wrote laws, given the president president this power These are taxes Congress is supposed to Set taxes by law, but they basically delegated all this power to the executive branch That's why I think you see Bernie Sanders who has been in Congress since that became law You know red in the face and freaking out

because Trump has figured out how to use powers that were, he didn't understand how to do it last time. I remember during the pandemic, it was actually Chuck Schumer who suggested to Trump that he use the Industrial Production Act to require US manufacturers to make ventilators. And Trump was like, oh, well, I'll do that. But clearly, he didn't even know,

because he hadn't really studied on the powers that were available to him. That's just the entire irony. For COVID to come and then for him to have that election stolen in 2020 gave him a chance to learn all of this. And now, back with a vengeance is not even close to strong enough to describe what's happening. So for real quick, from my economic perspective,

what I would like to see, let's just take this one example. The EU imposes a 10% tariff on imported cars. So a Ford made in America sent to the EU, 10% tariff. Meanwhile, if you're in the US and you order a Volkswagen from Germany, that's you, you, excuse me, the 10% goes for the when you're buying that when you're in Germany buying the Ford you're paying 10% so they're less likely to buy that Ford and on the other hand we're not taxing their Volkswagen at all so they're very happy that we don't have any barrier to our population. Very low barrier. Anyway, it's been a long week, been a long show.

I would like to see our tariff go from 2.5% to like 5% so we can get a little more money. And then I'd like to see the EUs go from 10% to 5% so it's fair and even. So there is a little bit of a tariff to make a little bit of money so they can lower taxes or at least close the deficit, et cetera. But also overall, everybody's tariffs goes down a little bit. And full circle, $500 billion in bilateral trade between India. That's a good thing. More trade, less tariffs, at least less tariffs

on America and we will do more business with you. That's what Trump's plan is here. It is. We'll see where it gets him. I still think a lot of this is more about other things, especially the security arena, bringing parties to the peace table in the Middle East and in Ukraine. It's a big part of this. On the egg front, well, I think eggs are a perfect example. And this is very preparedness focused

of decentralized supply, where if you raise your own pens, or your neighbor does, or you have a connection with a guy like NBC guy that I do, well, you're not as worried about Costco or Trader Joe shutting things down. Now, petroleum or gasoline, you can't really just make that in your backyard, and that's a little bit different.

It's a very centralized, very capital intensive and time intensive, et cetera. But, uh, eggs on the other hand, very easy to decentralized production. And, uh, long story short, I like that. And that's what a prepper should always try to do when it's something that can be decentralized, try to do when it's something that can be decentralized Try to do that. You know, I Get you I get you I agree But I'm thinking about a different thing drawing a drawing a parallel

About what you just said that you're probably not thinking about and I thought it's just the other day It's like if you're to pick one food that functions in the as an ingredient to other, you know, final foods, you know, kind of like oil, gasoline, fundamental cost driver, okay, of all the products that get anywhere, right? Even, you know, jet fuel, diesel, whatever, you know, things get places because of fossil fuels, diesel, whatever, you know, things get places because of fossil fuels, right?

The, you know, there's some parallel, there's eggs just as a driver in food. Like how many, how many, uh, you know, different foods in a grocery store contain egg? Very true. Yeah. A lot of them. And if you think of it, if you think of food and ingredient of food, that that's true. Very true. Yeah. A lot of them and if you think of

a food substitute it, can you think of a food an ingredient of food that is a bigger, you know, constituent of other end product foods than eggs? I I don't think I can. Not something that's healthy relatively. I mean, you could just say like sugar and flour, but it's different.

It's not like a whole food in of itself that doesn't require much processing. And eggs are using almost everything and there's not really a substitute. Right. Yeah, I guess flour is probably even more fundamental. But yeah, some of these basic ingredients, the eggs in this. I I still think that this is temporary. You know, the time it takes to reconstitute flocks, it's a matter of a month or two.

So supply will catch up with demand on this, but it's definitely being used by Democrats to tell their voters that it's Trump's fault, eggs cost a lot right now. I mean, part of their strength is's it's Democrats to tell their voters that it's Trump's fault eggs cost a lot right now. I mean that that well, part of their strength is how economically

illiterate their voters are. It's pathetic that they don't understand it takes at least a couple months for things to work through the system. Let alone a couple weeks, let alone a day or two. I mean, they were saying this like the day after

he got inaugurated but whatever like you said it that's why they like their voters to be ignorant especially with regard to financials. I'm going to get into this COVID-37 safety signals the COVID, Vax, the VAERS system, vaccine adverse event reporting system. 37 types of adverse events when COVID-19 vaccinations were administered during pregnancy. So we're talking about pregnant women getting these injections. Yeah, yeah, not good, not good. Waiting for the results, I mean,

it's demographic, it's long-term. I'm waiting for the results. I shot relative to other vaccines. Keep that in mind too because gosh 10 years ago. Five years ago, just before COVID even people were talking about all types of vaccines being potentially harmful, but the COVID gene therapy, mRNA vaccine is just a whole nother level, but but sixty-nine point two X I mean that's incredible how much higher that is no what's gonna be interesting is an RFK juniors in as health secretary Health and Human Services Secretary now gaining control of those agencies and the firings that are coming and who remains to run those agencies and will RFK Jr. have enough time during this term to fund studies? Will he be able to find scientists? They'll

take the funding. He'll find some, but most will probably be on the outside refusing to touch it, but they'll find some. This goes for fluoride, this goes for microplastics, this goes for addictive drugs, this goes for the entire food supply with, you know, highly processed foods. Will there be time for the agencies who do do the studies? They just for, for years have been politically controlled. So they don't study vaccine effects. Can RFK junior convince Congress that that is money well spent and can he turn it around so that there's eight,

these agencies and National Institute of Health is refocused on that? Are there enough scientists out there that have, that aren't just absolute partisans that won't touch it? We're gonna see that happening. We're gonna find news about this and it's one of those things that's going to span many indicators on future danger. It's going to hit into the constitutional legal aspects of wiping out those grants and

firing those corrupt scientists. But on the flip side, you know, how strongly can vaccine effects be further exposed? How you know, or fluoride effects or what some speculate is just a soft kill depopulation agenda trying to sterilize us and bring us to you know ill health earlier to to enrich multinational corporations and shorten our lifespans But yeah, we got a health secretary tonight. that's fully on board with trying to make a change. Jim Collison I can't wait to see what he's able to do. All right, I think that's the show for the night. Do you have any other articles we missed or any topics we've hit? Probably an all-time record number of tweets, or I guess they're

called posts now. I guess we should hit tariffs in your prepping plans in a nutshell. What do you see those tariffs cause you spoke about a little bit, but how can you take contract create actions now before these tariffs start to set in to make final preps? If you're trying to economize, well, you might have some time to still buy some of these imported goods without having to pay the tariffs. to economize. Well, you might have some time to still buy some of these imported goods without having to pay the tariffs. If it's in stock now in the United

States, right, it didn't have to pass customs so it doesn't have that. Exactly. Cost increase. Exactly. So some theory, now there is of course arbitrage so there's probably a lot of people trying to buy up certain things right now Already have maybe may have been doing it over the last few months but my point is if you see something from one of these countries where That these tariffs are either going into place or going up if you see something that's important to your preparedness plans buy it on the other hand I was thinking not just financial kind of, maybe your preps are going to be a little more expensive, but it'll be a

lot easier to identify what's made in the USA and, uh, maybe it's not a bad thing to have to pay a little bit more, but it'll be made in the USA. And if you do buy these things with, uh, tariffs, at least you're in a funding the Republic's comeback. I don't know if I could even believe that so much, but these tariffs could be an important role to preventing absolute destruction of the of the national debt and bringing that deficit down. But I guess for a it's pretty much bad news if you're a prepper honestly is

What I'm trying to say here, but you still might have chance. I have a chance the next couple weeks I don't think it's gonna be more than that to buy things without the impact of these tariffs But on the other hand, hey, you know if there's bad news At least there's a silver lining by made in America And if you end up paying some of these tariffs because you can only find some of your preps and whatnot made in China, like electronics, for example. Well, you know, whatever. That's just how it goes. At least that extra money is going directly to you, not to China, right? Well, your country, I mean,

that, yeah, just to be clear, I was always a free trader believed in that But I've changed my mind over the years the Scottish economist Adam Smith wrote in 1776 the wealth of nations influential point of view on why mercantilism held that wealth was fixed and finite and and and and There was a zero good son some game and game and Trump is a neo mercantilist, using these tariffs. That's what we say when we say mercantile. It's running your economy at an optimum benefit to your people at the expense of your neighbors

and keeping the trade, you know, as internal as possible. Always seeking and maintaining trade advantage, right? And what Smith wrote was free trade grows all nations, but the problem is Smith was writing about countries that didn't have the ability to do what China can do to you today, right? COVID-19, one of many examples. So in a constant espionage operation, probably having corrupted big parts of the opposition party to Trump, as well as the deep state, right? What comes out for Chinese espionage inside of the FBI, the DOJ, even the CIA, I'm waiting to hear, right?

You can't trade freely with an adversary like that, right? You can't. And let's talk about the Europeans with their socialist welfare governments, where they build all non-tariff barriers into the system so they have an advantage on paper and they, you know, they're still sucking us dry to support their, you know, highly authoritarian and socialistic systems. Now, if Adam Smith was here and looking at the world today, I'm pretty sure he'd write some

caveats into the wealth of nations about how you can't trade with socialists successfully. And I think that's something Trump knows right now. And those that use near slave labor that use all types of, you know, poison the environment, whereas we have all these carbon taxes. Well, not anymore, I guess. Thankfully, we're getting out of, we're already out of the Paris Climate Accord and all the other stuff. We were never in it. the Gone as fast as an election can make it happen This is this is a lot of news that we talked about tonight, but a lot of good news the positive direction news I'm just waiting to see what what's this dashboard? the all new topics all Coming up from directions that we

Hadn't talked about tonight. So each and every week Patriot power our Join us for this conversation. Shout out. Thanks to our audience, loyal audience for listening and watching, Ben.
