Episode Date: June 4, 2025

What do you want? Statement of purpose? Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? You decide your own level of involvement! We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. The You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. 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. Patriot Power Hour, we're back in your life once more. the the first and foremost, the attacks in Russia have just gone

a whole new level. Trepid commander just released uh 3040 minute uh episode about it just an hour or two ago. I listened to it and for anyone who hasn't caught the news which is I don't think anyone. I'm pretty sure everyone's seen it. Strategic bombers far far far from Ukrainian territory were hit and destroyed a third or more of the strategic nuclear bombers for Russia equivalent to the B-52s. the other news tonight isn't as you know severe or in our face but I think this

is and I gotta ask you right up front what your thoughts here and why isn't this rating a little bit higher on the on the news blitz yeah just my connection on this show is not optimal so so I missed the last 10 seconds, but I know that you want to talk about Russia. I want to talk about that drone swarm, the 41 warplanes that were hit, equivalent to our B-52s, one of the legs of the nuclear triad, taken out. This is huge escalation, and it's of course on the news blitz on the future danger dashboard which I'll share here in a second but it's only topical news it seems

more severe than that what's your take on it and what's the latest with that attack I guess about 48 hours ago in Russia yeah so the bombers the submarines this the missiles right it's the triad Russia's got the triad we've had the triad we've had the triad pointing at the Russians for a long long time you know getting close to 75 years right and now Ukraine has gone and struck some of those assets and it makes you wonder is the triad all that it was cracked up to be or is, you know. Seems like we lost future Dan. I almost wonder if it's because I tried to share the screen. I'm going to stop sharing the I'm going to go back to the as always, besides the great majority of our listeners and viewers. Well, they're listeners through the radio show, through the podcast.

Ukraine launches massive drone swarm attack on Russian nuke bombers, operation web they're calling it hidden in cargo containers. So getting to James that's a group that hates us you clean but we're gonna keep cranking through essentially I'm saying that uh in traffic commander James Walton just today posted and uh what I thought was a really good podcast 30 40 minutes talking about well this is a turning point a whole chapter in warfare of drones being used in this manner and just really the evolution in the last three years

or so of drone warfare. What's your take on the attack itself? And my question to you is this looks like shtf level almost, but you didn't grade it as such. Any explanations why? Well, the indicator is war with Russia starts, right? This attack isn't us being in war with Russia. It can lead there, which is why it's, you know, green topical news, but it's not, it's not an act that's going to cause a war. And it's because we have mutually assured destruction and hitting these bombers you know back in the day would have been a problem it's you know bombers were part of the nuclear triad but Russia's got hypersonic missiles now so I'm not sure it's the same calculation

I was thinking of that myself I'm a numbers guy and I was like well you think triad you're like oh, oh, well, that's one third of their you know, one third of their triad of these strategic bombers. Almost half of them were destroyed. Huge, huge threat but I'm like, actually, the submarine launched are truly the most vulnerable. Now, maybe there's some other web space base that both sides might have. They're supposed to be treaties against nuclear weapons in space. Who knows? But I also thought that if there was one part of it to be taken out that would hurt Russia the least, it would

be these, these bombers, but it's still worse than a slap in the face and war with Russia starts. I mean, if NATO goes to war with them and we do so what if a NATO member not even the US but a NATO member clandestinely helped with this because apparently Trump didn't know about this is all happening before the peace talks any thoughts on that and what if some people are doing behind you know going behind Trump's back Macron and those idiots who knows what's going on over there in Europe, man. All right. Let's back up a little bit. Uh, take that piece by piece. Um,

so it's a triad, but it's not like an economic financial calculus. It's, it's, the triad is three major means of delivering nuclear weapons. It doesn't mean that they're equal in size. It doesn't mean That that they're of equal importance But there's all all three are a means to do it and all you know, fourth way would be suitcase, right? Jump in with a nuke and we we we rehearse that stuff during the cold war in fact, but it's not viable Right. So not in a massive way. So bombers subs Siloes, that's the three, you know systems and each one has their countermeasures and With hypersonics

It's questionable whether You know, they can be stopped, right? They're so fast and Russia has that so Hitting those bombers Looks more to me like Ukraine Attacking military assets, which have obviously been used to bomb Ukraine now Europeans European Western Intelligence agencies there are other NATO members doing this doesn't I don't think it

changes anything. We've hit a threshold of violence in Ukraine that not sure taking it into the interior of Russia. And that's why it changes much we shot down or help shoot down these kind of aircraft already anyways. I mean, it's a complete, you know, mid to high intensity conventional war right on the border of Russia or, you know, border of Europe anyways. And I don't know about what Trump knew or didn't know or what somebody did, but France and England and Germany and others in Europe, they're sovereign nations too, right? And the Article 5 Treaty of the NATO Alliance calls for, if one is attacked, all are attacked. But think about that perspective, that's being attacked. It's not necessarily doing the attacking, right?

And I don't think Russia is going to do anything about this against us. They're not going to attack a NATO member in response for this. So I'm not, I'm not sure I'm as concerned about this. I'm kind of fascinated about how they got it done, but I don't think it destabilizes, you know, the global balance of power. So let's say Russia doesn't retaliate in a crazy way. Have they before? Well, eventually they have to, right?

Or are they just going to get steamrolled into a total breakup and balkanization in their far years? They're obviously far, far weaker than the United States, which is NATO. Our general is always in charge of NATO. NATO is forces are always commanded by an American. There is no NATO without America. So the, the rush is clearly weaker, right? by an American, there is no NATO without America. So the Russia is clearly weaker, right? Or this were just spout out control a long time ago. Russia thought they could invade Ukraine

and nothing would happen. And that, you know, something did happen, you know, a massive like air intelligence surveillance reconnaissance effort right on the border has made every Russian all the way through that country completely visible little red dots on your video game mini map right I mean we were dominant in so many domains that rush is not that what could they do? I guess nothing in the game theory except for end the game and throw the table over, which I sure hope they don't do. So it seems like they're pretty screwed at this rate. But

what we're talking about, go ahead. Why would Ukraine do this? Right? Because it's a state There is a government It's above and beyond the people Oh Ukraine is a criminal state doing criminal things So is Russia Right? For sure, definitely

That's the problem And you can go around the world and label any state any way you want to people do all the time Point is it's a state and it and it it preserves itself. It protects its existence the russian state every every state in you know In the world and and the united states are our government, right? When when you're talking nuclear weapons You're down at the level of the state preserves itself beyond any one member of the state

President United States President of Russia obviously the most powerful single people in those states And have the power to take you know actions which could you know bring about the end of states for sure but I don't think that the I don't think the Russian state you know is gonna kick over the table and just risk it's it's a it's annihilation. It doesn't make sense. Hey, if that's even a 1% chance risk, that's like way way way too high. So, I feel like it notched up by a percentage of one decimal in the last few years at least. Hopefully, it's

less than 1% chance they're gonna do anything crazy in a single year. You can definitely make a lot of money on like Polymarket if you say no that a nuclear weapon will not be detonated but that includes tests by the way so be sure you're careful what you bet on Polymarket read the the lot the lines because even a North Korean nuclear test underground would cash it was like 1520 percent last I saw. One knock out the news blitz real quick and we can go through some archives and see who we got in chat.

Anyone want to check out questions or thoughts for us tonight? Definitely use that. What's happened in Firewood Forge? So future day. How about this news blitz? I'm going to run through it real quick. Yeah, yeah, go for it. All right, let's do it. the Ukraine Ukraine launches massive drone swarm attack on Russian nuke bombers. 41 warplanes destroyed using covert drones hidden in cargo containers near Russian air bases. Anyone who missed intrepid commanders podcast earlier today, go check that out about how terrorists might be able to use a similar attack here on the homeland

the market. So, we'll use a similar attack here on the homeland. economically, relatively quiet in the markets. Bitcoins, 100, 500, 106, 000 gold nudged up in the last week or two. 3, 300 silver, 33 bucks or so. So, uh a little higher than it's been lately

over the, you know, rolling average but nothing extreme real estate market. Starting to see some symbols or signals even about uh some some decay. I'm going to call it decay in the market. Not collapse, not destruction but decay. Pending home sales plunged most in 30 the

back near record lows and this one's key home sellers now outnumbered buyers by half a million. So a lot more sellers than buyers. There's also numbers supporting that compared to just this time last year and again, we're this is the numbers supporting that compared to just this time last

year and again, we're this is the hot real estate season, May, June, right? Uh compared to just one year ago, it's taking I think it was like 1520% longer to sell a home. more homes were staying on market for over two months as a percent and uh prices prices are pretty regional some are still up a few percent year every year some are down five ten percent

depending where you live nothing absolutely cut out at the knees but i'm seeing some decay in the market but economically otherwise though, uh kind of quiet. It is June. Usually quiet this time of year. Nature and weather. We actually have a little bit here. We have uh seventy dead as highest pre monsoon rains in there is some activity at Mount Etna, Italy. Pyroclastic flow. Strong strombolian eruption. Yes, that is exactly it. It's a strombolian stromboli. Same thing. That's truly what it is. Pyroclastic flow at Mount Etna, Italy. Hey, we're not in Ration R anymore. I want a strong, bully future. Dan. What can I say? Yeah. Yeah. Well, natural news, but not that severe. Nothing really, nothing really severe tonight. I think we're all green on the news headlines. So it's a relatively safe night.

I still get conservative rush. I'd get a lot of your points though, but nothing's deescalated. the it much crazier. Well, that's thrown out the window for the next few months at least it seems. Um but you're right. Otherwise, I don't see anything out there that's really going on right now. There's tons of unsolved problems and issues that uh will rear their ugly head in the coming months and years. That's why we're on

Prepper Broadcasting Network prep on hey before we talk about some of these articles and stuff, how about I get a couple ads out of the way? We got a couple couple of good ads here future day. And what do you say? Yeah, let's hear them. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Here's my question to you. Are you really going to build that kit? Look, it's 2025. It's time to get honest.

I need to hit up Lima Tango Survival for a bag or two for real. I am in I'm in the market for at least one everyday carry for my vehicle and maybe another bag or two even so good timing to get that sponsor here future

Dan yeah we've packed fresh those are great new commercials thank you to our sponsors now let's get back to those drones in a container. I just you know want to put put something out there I've been part of defense analyses for about 20 years and About about 20 years ago a little over 20 years ago. I Was part of a program and even back then that it was the idea was called missile missiles in a box missiles in a box This is before it was really beginning to the point where it was understood. You could do loitering munitions

Start throwing up unmanned Vehicles that are themselves bombs and that's not exactly what was used in in the attack in in the interior of Russia this past week but this concept this isn't new this is this has probably been perfected on a clandestine level by our forces for well not long after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were winding down, not over, but you know that that's when we got a handle on this. Now who enabled the Ukrainians?

They might have figured it out themselves, you know, talking to people, right, getting ideas from people from contractors, from governments, they might have done it, you know, all by themselves. Or they might have done it, you know, all by themselves. Or they might have been handed the hardware. I don't know. I don't know if it matters. But this missile in a box concept, it's not, it's not necessarily new. And I, all I can say about Islamic terror attacks in the United States is this after September 11th. Why wasn't there more clandestine cells launching attacks everywhere across the country and

you know, they wouldn't have had missile in the box, but they could have done a lot of damage, but they weren't here. They weren't. They weren't here. That is the reason why for a Middle Eastern insurgency to bring that level of technology and launch it inside United States. Yeah, sure. Yeah, it could happen. But so many more primitive ways to attack inside the United States and they're not doing it. So what gives? So what gives? That's a good point. There are Occam's razors. There's simpler ways to do as much destruction, more

than likely. I think what gives are the question, a potential answer to the question, is Biden administration. Borders wide open the last few years, maybe not the same. From 2001 to at least 2012, or I don't know, maybe Obama. the same. Maybe not the same the reason that would essentially say that there's complacency and maybe even part of Biden administration deep state allowing this in or even facilitating it. Yeah, and they do it hat on but sounds reasonable compared to some of the stuff I've seen these

days and they'd be doing it in the face of state police forces, local police forces local police forces dhs department of defense, uh Obviously aware that this is a major threat and could be it'd be all classified missiles in a box But if there's you know, just just the apparatus that state apparatus to Prevent this kind of attack. It's it's not small right the budgets of these organizations and this this idea that You know tens of thousands of people could have worked on area 51 and known about a UFO and not said anything No, there's not tens of thousands of people Working to prevent weapons of mass destruction in the United States that wouldn't have already

Thought about this thought about how to look at them at ports thought about how to find them and you know with with almost You know complete surveillance of any you know electronic communication including a podcast like this the Patriot power I I don't think it would be easy to bring a missile in the box into the United States and And and I don't think the actors that you know, we fear the most have the wherewithal To do it. This is a pretty advanced weapon. This is this is Ukraine punching above their weight, which is why You know if they weren't handed the hardware by a Western intelligence agency, they were

Certainly given the plans on how to do this. There you go. Anything else you want to hit on for war on Russia? You want to go through that? I don't know. I know you can't see it though. If you want to take a tour of the archive maybe just glance where the future danger archive war with Russia might date back to 2017 then. And there's a lot of articles that are all low level. They're all grade one green topical, you know, probably a good share of them are strategic bombers flying near Alaska airspace or something like that. You know, something, something, you know, very commonplace. It could be part of a you know a future

Warp or starting but they never they haven't led to anything, right? You scroll from bottom up on that archive Maybe I'd like to know if you see any Events that are as severe in your opinion as this drone attack last week by Ukraine. Well going to the bottom, there are at least 300 articles, maybe more. I'm not joking either. So several hundred, more than 300 but they are color coded. So I don't even have to read it. I can scroll very fast and see that they are all of a green indicator,

low indicator for the reasons you mentioned. There's not even one that's orange or yellow or definitely not black or red. Um, in terms of, I can't data mine this all right now, but I would have to say you would only need to look from February 2022 until now to have your sample size if you're trying to find what's the most extreme or dangerous articles. So that cuts a lot out because maybe I'm wrong, but I can't think that there would be anything before the Ukrainian that's a lot of the more dangerous articles. So that cuts a lot out because maybe I'm wrong, but I can't think that there would be anything

before the Ukrainian war that would be more severe and no, I agree. Yeah. Okay. I just off the cuff maybe because it's recency bias but nuclear strategic bombers. I know they can be used in other ways but that uh it seems like that seems like an escalation to me and I don't know if anything's hit this high watermark in terms of just overall monetary damage I don't know um a lot of obviously men and material have died on Russia's side

but this is a huge humiliation factor too. I think French Foreign Legion being put into Ukraine was more dangerous. All right. As trainers you know what actually let me search for that. Probably half way since the Ukraine war started but you know some of that symbolically could be more dangerous that it didn't turn out to be and clandestinely Western special operation forces have been helping the Ukrainians since day one in huge numbers. So it's all a matter of what is publicly acknowledged or not there. Now I'm not going to try to downplay the striking of, you know, 41 strategic bombers

for Russia. It's, it's, but it's hard to feel as though it's an escalation. It's just a continuation of a war and now they're fighting it inside of Russia. There's also a big attack on a bridge. So, ongoing attack on infrastructure but as you said, Ukraine's beginning the **** blown out of it too.

This happens in a war. Um well, if Trump didn't know about it, that's a problem. If he's saying he didn't know about it. Well, it depends on who did it what you gotta do. I suppose If Ukraine really did do it by itself, that's case number one Ukraine did it by itself. I think it's I Think it's a low chance. They did it entirely by themselves, but I think There's a chance they did most of it by themselves once they had the right and they've had tremendous Experience with drones, right? They make them themselves now as a necessity. War will do

that. So, you know, case one is Ukraine. Ukrainians did it without telling anybody. Then I'm not. How do you blame Trump for that? It's hard to blame him. That's just he's got tall task in front of him. We can't also forget yeah just I guess eight hours ago, ten hours ago the bridge from The bridge was that's what's going on. They detonated them. This bridge has been hit a couple of times in the past but it is from missiles that did mostly superficial

damage. It seems like it's it's in the war zone though. It's just it's just the wars going on. That's it. Yeah but it's bigger strikes more damaging than ever before. Definitely. I don't I don't agree. I don't agree. If you take the nuclear out of it, it's still that bridge is so critical and it hasn't gone down yet. Russia invaded Ukraine and took it like of

course it's going to get attacked. It has been many times. This is this. It doesn't it doesn't move the needle in my opinion Yeah It's when NATO members overtly confront Russian forces do we have a New problem, which is well with Russia starting not not Ukraine's world with Russia Future danger isn't the future danger of Ukraine It would have been black on red and every possible indicator for the past three years for their future danger isn't the future danger of Ukraine. It would have been black on red

and every possible indicator for the past three years for their future danger. This is our future danger, right? And I don't see that calculus changing because of what Ukraine's done here. Yeah. Well, I think it's more likely to

sprawl into a regional war to I think it's more likely to sprawl into a regional ward and include other areas now. Hopefully not but it seems like it could go from green to SHTF over you know, real quick then no transition zone then. So, so you know, with with human

behavior to me, the most simple way to look at anything negative that's happening is that it just comes down to two dimensions of human behavior. You know, is it is it from evil or is it from stupidity? And the evil is what it is, you know, invading that country where I can have it on it like that. You know, it's clearly evil. I said it at the start but that that is not

Because of the nuclear deterrent both sides hold it's not It's contained but it's the stupidity then it's a mistake a series of mistakes and there's a number of examples during the Cold War where Mistakes were almost made that started third, third world war, right? You know, human behavior has that and autonomous systems made by humans are going to be at risk of that. And that that's why, you know, we can't help but talk about it.

You know, what that yes, that Ukrainian drone strike could lead to World War Three, war with Russia. Right now it's just another tick on the news radar over time. It's just one more tick that we're watching out that you always got to keep an eye out on the potential for that war. But man, both security structures on both sides have stood in place with nuclear weapons for 70 plus years without firing at each other. I it's gonna be a mistake that got us there, I think. Sure, I can buy into that. I think a mistake now would be way more likely to cause a problem than the exact same mistake in like 1998 but maybe not well Russia was really weak in 98 and Russia is still very weak compared to where the Soviet Union was if you want to go back in time a mistake in 1985 that would have been that that that was hair trigger right I think if you look at 1985, No, I don't. I think we have super weapons that you can't dream of that. We've already advertised covertly to every other world power. I think, I think, you know, a healthy guess,

I don't know any classified programs not read in don't know this in any classified sense, but weapon systems in space that can strike earth rail guns It could you know some of these tic-tac UFO Films that the Navy put out and has the whole UFO community believing that you know, we filmed extraterrestrial craft like big part of me believes that's just the cover story those are ours we control them and and and everybody in Moscow knows I to me believes that's just the cover story. Those are ours. We control them. And everybody in Moscow knows. I think we got overmatch. I think you got such an overmatch. It might be after advertising some of these secret super weapons that Putin decided, well, I

might as well just invade Ukraine because they know I can never fire nuclear weapons the Alright, what else you want to add tonight? Russia's got the territories that you know it, you know several eastern territories the Donbass So if you're gonna be fair about it, you know, if the war ended today they won they took territory All but it's not ending Ukraine made sure that There's no way Russia will come to a peace table for at least half a year after what just happened I don't know. I was listening to a Boy, what I think I was listening to Bloomberg radio with some very young

supposed military Expert on you know the historic Historical things that are happening in Ukraine and putting them in trying to put them in perspective and he was going on about how Russia's use of air power Which is part of the reason why Ukraine wanted to strike those bombers is because those bombers have been punishing civilian infrastructure inside of Ukraine just trying to wear and grind them down and and and this guy was talking about how this use of air power hasn't been seen hasn't been exercised and and it was really the earliest

uh air power advocates i'm talking about the early writers and thinkers in the 1920s who envisioned using air power this way and that and then and then this analyst went off the rails and started to say it's never been really practiced and I'm just thinking to myself that you know at the end of the Korean War the bombing was ramped up to get the truce in place at the you know Nixon bombed the ever loving hell out of North Korea to bring them to Geneva to negotiate the truce that allowed us to withdraw. Using air power to absolutely pound your enemy as you're in negotiations That that's not new right and and for that matter striking your enemy to Bring about their moral collapse. I mean the firebombing of Tokyo, right the nuclear the atomic weapons use on Japan

You know the firebombing of Dresden the you know, this has happened before we've been here before That's that this is both sides, Ukraine and Russia, putting out all stops to try to have leverage at the negotiation table and also save face at home. This war could end this summer. This could be like the you know the you know a good fireworks show at the end the biggest blaster at the end. Grand Finale. Yeah. All right. Well you know a lot more about this stuff than I do. Hey I'm just being a little contrary contrarian about this because I think there's There's not a lot new going on here. Yeah drones coming out of containers that were shipped

infiltrated into a country and striking their strategic assets That's a heck of a clandestine wartime operation. It's quite a success Like that pager attack. Yeah, it's in that league. Yeah, it, it, it, it, I think it takes it one notch above exploding pagers, but it's, uh, it's, it's novel things happen in war, but probably shouldn't be terribly surprised by it. It's, you know, just think about what's possible.

People are trying to do it. Right. What are the news tonight? You want to jump into? Yeah. How much worse does the property market have to get for sellers before you're buying? That's a good question. I don't know.

I don't know. At this point, I don't think I want to buy a house until Bitcoin multiplies by 10 and becomes new reserve currency. going to go down and uh becomes You know II did some calculation on this three, four years ago, or five years ago, who knows when. I've done it multiple times, but when you look at the really low interest rates, right before COVID and then after COVID,

and the mortgage rates that were 3% mortgage rates and you compare what a $400,000 house at 3% mortgage compared to a $400,000 house at 6.5 or 7% or 8% mortgage, the monthly payment like doubles damn near. So my point is there's a huge effect and with interest rates going up as much as they've done the last few years have not seen prices

go down at all. So that's fine because there's just been so much inflation. A lot of it's gone into the housing continues to especially in certain areas. The areas I want to be in the necessarily. But anyway, I don't know. I don't know, man. I've expected the real straight market to melt for the last 10 years. They've kept it going somehow. You know, maybe it's starting to decay a little bit, but I've capitulated and said that it'll never crash. So maybe that means it's actually going to happen like imminently. And I don't know when's the Fed gonna cut rates for Trump and where's where are we at

with the trade war? Well, one at a time, we'll talk about interest rate cuts and that's not happening now. When is is that this week? Let's go look. When is the Fed week? Let's go. Let's go. When is the Fed meeting? It's really soon. Let's

see. Fed meeting, interest rate, cuts, everybody. 5 days ago, May 7, 2025. Maybe it's in July. It's every 2 months and I think they met in May. May 7th. So maybe it's like after around 4th of July. I don't know. I don't keep it on my calendar anymore. But the market, speaking of Polymarket,

they said there's like a 90 plus percent chance that Powell keeps rates flat. So not expected interest rate cuts. Any time soon, the fed's been trying to say with all their feds speak that they're not gonna they're not gonna cut and Trump's definitely pissed about that. How about that trade war? Is it do you see a severe decline in trade this year? I don't know if it's proven out in the the that's been put into that trade and they've talked about how they're collecting billions and billions in tariffs and applying that so that will every dollar

of tariff is some destruction of economic activity. How much I don't have access to the real time database. Unfortunately, that'd be pretty cool to actually have that like a video game or something. But it's got to be digging in to both sides. I don't know.

I try not to buy any Chinese crap art. I haven't even really noticed any myself. But we're just maybe just being in those first stages. Obviously, the rates have come down a lot. And the left is trying to say, oh, Trump's, what does he say? Always chickens out or some stupid thing. It's like, no. the the the the the the

the the the the the the the the the if you don't come to the table. So I don't know. It's going to be a slog. It's not going to be a simple victory at all. But we'll see how it pans out still early. What do you think

about a appropriations bill coming out of Congress this summer? You think you think we'll see one? Was that like the rescission? Where they reduce things? No, the big, beautiful bill, the spending bill, the appropriations. Oh, that. They got to do that first. Oh, I don't know, man. I hate all the spending.

I'm very sour on that. So I'm with Elon Musk. You can have a big bill or a beautiful bill. You can't have both. So, not a fan. There's some decent stuff in there, but most of it's same old. Okay. So, the spending bill isn't making your happy chart go up. I got it. But the question was, do you think we'll get a bill this summer? No, because it's so slim in Congress,

there'll be a couple cowards that don't go forward with it. Maybe I'd be one of them. I would think I'd get over my ideological stance and just do it, because alternative of the left is stalling things up and trying to come back with their own worst big government down the road. So it is a loyalty test. I think things will be gummed up so bad,

and there's enough stay behind networks to take out Trump politically, if not literally that. They won't get it done. But again, I'm usually wrong on these things. Well, they'll get it done before the government shuts down. They'll always pass the bill when the government's about ready to shut down. So the only question is how they're going to play chicken with that straight into September, October.

It'll get bad. It'll be, and it'll be worse if they do it that way without, you know, now, now people that need need more for their districts will have more leverage because it's got to get past with a shutdown. the Yeah, I think the longest was Gingrich under Clinton shut it down, right? Leaving only interns in the White House, etc So that's that's the worst day. It's the worst has ever been most of them been like from Friday to Monday Maybe a week We should do a whole special on that bill

Analyze it when does it come up to vote? Do you have any idea? I don't know. Well, they're trying to bring it up before um 4th of July but you know it's it's it's got problems that you know the one party doesn't have the majority necessary to do this without controversy. That's just the way we are we are that's the way our congress is right now. Well for most of my adult life I've been like that's good whatever could stall up the government it's kind of a good thing whether you want it to go forward or not usually they just cause problems I don't know again I'm sour on it right now but I'd like to dive deeper into the

actual guts of the bill we've done that that with JatGBT or other, or with Grok in particular. I bet we could get some good content for a whole hour chopping through that bill. So that's something we'll have to do later this month. Yeah, I'm just more interested in seeing whether, it's something that can allow this president to retain the

Congress in his favor at the midterm. Cause it, you know, ultimately they're going to spend too much money. The debt is going to get worse and, and, and it's going to endanger all of our economic prosperity going forward. We, we're pretty sure that already. going forward. We were pretty sure that already. I'm just concerned, you know, if Trump is meant to be the second Herbert Hoover and the economy is collapsed from within under his watch, similar in my mind to what happened right at the end of George W. Bush's term, when might that happen? If the Democrats

take back one or both of the houses of Congress, how does that accelerate or delay such a collapse, an intentional collapse, if such a thing is possible? Just kind of spitballing here. I the most dangerous year in the next four years that we're looking at. Right. I think that is a big possibility. I've said it beforehand. You know, things could collapse quicker, but you point out that last thing they want is Trump to have a year or

two of emergency powers to deal with economic collapse. They'd much rather do it when he's a lame duck. I think that's a big possibility. I think that's You point out that last thing they want is Trump to have a year or two of emergency powers to deal with economic collapse. They'd much rather do it when he's a lame duck only a few months to go, six months to go, or even right before the 2028 election. Which be here before you know it, damn, it's already June 3rd, 2025. Third twenty twenty five. Here's a here's a here's a here's a mental quad chart for you to envision, if you will. You know, think about any collapse coming up. You could split it into four parts,

intentional or out of control. At not I want to say accidental, but just outside of humankind's control and then you know intentional and then from the United States perspective is internal or external right so like external out of our control is the meteorite hitting the super volcano going off, you know, the 9.9 earthquake on the west coast, something like that. Right. And which of those quadrants are we looking at at any given time on Patriot power hour? It's kind of be interesting to kind of frame it into all right, we're talking about threats from this dimension or that dimension, right? Intentional but external would be we're at war with a near peer in a very serious nuclear war, right? That'd be the

collapse scenario there, right? There's others, there's many others, but I think internally internally and intentionally having the Ponzi schemes, the derivative pyramids, the mayhem that's behind Wall Street is one of the easiest pathways to bring about a collapse, a reset, and more importantly, to hang that around the neck of MAGA for what the perpetrators would hope to be decades. the neck of the neck of MAGA for what the perpetrators would hope to be, you know, decades. And be careful with Bitcoin because there could be a targeted attack

on Bitcoin. Bring it back down to twenty, thirty thousand dollars. Say it's part of the Trump collapse Bitcoin. Trump jumped on Bitcoin and now it's become a scam. I could absolutely believe it. I'd be buying it all the way that Trump jumped on economic reset compared to World War III reset if you look at it that way Gold silver physical preps, that's where it's at. I think looking right now actually silver was higher than I thought It's been up a couple bucks recently 3473 gold 33 84 So you can protect yourself against some of those things maybe not a super volcano

depends what side of the world you're on from it I bet, but I like that the four quadrants and it'd be cool to see where every topic or every you know five minutes of our shows over were plotted as a point in those quadrants, where would they be? I think the internally caused collapse. Every time you say the word debt, you're in the top left quadrant talking about internal intentional. I do. I think mostly correct, but the nation, you know, worldwide debt is also a problem. So stupid Japan and Europe dragging us down with

them. They can be the precursor, but mostly the focus should be our own house, our own problems. So yes, when I say debt, it's mostly focused internally at our own problems, but it's a domino that could take everybody down kind of worldwide too. Yeah. Well, we saw, what was it? 97, the contagion coming out of, you know, property bubbles in Thailand, spread to Taiwan, Korea, central bank had a problem and then it is swept the financial world with a, you know, they called it the contagion, right? So externally these threats can come economically and, and, they called it the contagion, right? So externally, these threats can come economically.

And because it's economic behavior, you know, I'm throwing that in the, you know, intentional category, right? It's not, you know, uncontrolled, you know, economic choices of central banks are, you know, should be governed by the people who live in the countries that they serve. It your, your main thesis on Patriot power hour as the bank store breakers is that they're not governed. They're banksters, but everything can be controlled at the political powers there. Well, that's why Trump has been busting some heads, which I'm happy with. Uh, but a long way to go. the the anything else want to hit on tonight. We're coming up on

that one hour and I think we hit most of the news. Yeah. What are we doing about some data from ration or ruin? The cost analysis needs to be done. So I need to do that. Um I don't know when it'll be presented though. I mean we will be getting together hopefully with Trevor command an NBC guy later this week This weekend's but I don't know. I mean I can bring my laptop I guess

Yeah, let me help you figure it out. Let's get that out. Let's try to get that get that back to people in in the weekend because there's people out there like me that uh Might be using some of what we learned is by, you know, allow for some good purchasing choices while our money is still worth something. There you go. So I think gram of protein per dollar and then calorie per dollar will be the two metrics I'll be trying to solve for. But there could be other ones that are super important too. So I'll be looking into that. Cool.

Right. Looking forward to it. Me too. Good show, Ben. Episode. What was it? Three Oh seven in the bag. I like it.

We'll be back next week. What do you say? Yeah, I'll be here. All right. Catch you later. Thank you to the audience.
