episode 318 it's September 16th 2025 I'm Ben the Breaker Banksters here with future Dan The real summer of 2025 is ending Ben so this is a finale which means we might do things a little bit different than usual

we reserve the right to have a special show on our finale and our opener each season each quarter and this is the end of the summer technically where I'm at it seems like it's a summer left a week or two ago doesn't mean it won't come back hot at the end of September

but yep no denying it. We're past the midpoint of September and official summer is gone this weekend. Yeah so we do this on the equinoxes and the soul and solstices and

it's a season. It's a Patriot Power Hour season and this one's ending. But another begins. So next week will be the season opener. Usually in those openers, we preview the coming few months, maybe do a prediction or two. And now that we got polymarket in our back pocket, maybe we'll use polymarket to finish that out. And sometimes in the finale, like it is today, we'll look back on the quarter. It was a pretty crazy quarter here.

We didn't prepare anything specifically to review Future Dan for today. But from No Kings to Charlie Kirk, to, I expect, a Fed cut right here at the end of the quarter or the season, so to speak. We had other big events as well. The Texas floods, I believe, fell in this time. The meeting in Alaska, Middle East, Iran, of course. So pretty active quarter, all considered. Yeah, someone took a little bit of time and just kind of tried to plot, you know, first, geopolitical, first, national, first, just things that,

had not happened before i think this past 90 or so days is packed full of them certainly and here at pbn prepper broadcast network usually we try to avoid too many firsts but when it comes to news at current events etc well not necessarily in control of what firsts occur but you can try to be in control to some degree of how you can react and how you're prepared prepared for that. So that's what Patriot Power Hour does. Try to get ahead of the news a bit and integrate it with your prepping plans. Future Dan, where do you want ahead today? We'll hit that newsblitz in the 15 minutes, 20 minutes, get through the news of the day. But where do you want ahead before we go into general topics? So I shot you over an article from the American thinker

and was curious what you thought of it. All right. Well, I got it pulled up right here. Let me actually share my screen i know good good portion of folks are listening so and can't read the screen so on the other hand a lot of people are piling in here on the live video so i won't read a word for word this article let me share the screen though we'll get it up and it great article i actually said we should get this author on patriot power hour next quarter see if we can make that happen um here's the window there we go you see that there sir yeah tell me what you think man all right be careful of the cornered democrat rat by patrick toddy eight-minute read we'll try to cut that in half if not more we all know when you corner an animal it will fight tooth and

nail for its survival. I myself talked about the banksters backed in a corner. Well, lots of examples of that in the past. And Patrick Toddy of American thinker believes in states that the Democrat Party itself, the Democrat Party movement finds itself backed into the corner. They've lost their U.S. AID money. They've been humiliated by Trump just over and over. They've lost all types of political action. committees and funding, the morale, the infighting, the Democrats are toast. Now, what the author goes on to say is maybe the Democrats would wake up, maybe they would realize they're foaming at the mouth, hatred, quote, hatred, projection, and trans adoration,

and irrationality, maybe they would back up on that. But the murder of Charlie Kirk exposed many of them. as not pretty much beyond saving right they as the author puts it now we stand in the bright light that brings clarity the democrat party has been taken over by nihilist distorted beings who aim to bring us our country and our civilization down to ruin any hope that the so-called moderate democrats like let's win them over maybe we can be rational with the so-called moderate democrats that they would get it together and make the Democrats a somewhat

respectable party. That flickered out on September 10th, 2025, the day Kirk was assassinated and so many cheered and said, well, you know, maybe he deserved it and all that type of crap. So future day, I'm going to go into a few bold items

or policies that will continue to, as this author says, God forbid, lead to a potential hot civil war. But anything you want to chime in on first? No, no, I'm, I'm fascinated to, you know, watch how you react to this. Because you, you in the past haven't been, you know, a thousand percent parsing yourself. No, no.

But I did vote for Trump in 2024 and a lot of it was based off the following, him saying he would do the following. And now we need him to follow through. He is following through. at least has started number one discover and prosecute government officials guilty of bribery cover-ups dereliction of duty etc the mainstream media will continue to portray this as witch hunting persecution and even that it's based on racism especially for democrat mayors and lisa cook the black federal reserve governor but no actually it's because of fraud, mortgage fraud

in that case. When pollsters ask the Democrats if it's sometimes okay to assassinate a political foe, they will nod yes. Emphatically yes. So that will continue and get worse. Author's

writes. Number two, Trump will continue ice raids in many heavily Democratic towns, something myself and others are very glad of going on, closing the border and removing those that came in both of those big points or pillars of a trump campaign now this goes on to highlight the hypocrisy of the mexican and guatemalan laborers and other uh ethnicities being

worked at lower than mar uh lower than minimum wages horrible conditions but the first thing the democrats will say is oh this is bad for the economy this and that but at the same time totally abusing these folks this is well specifically what i like about this article it specifically will enrage the sheep that live in places like bell air that live in upper east side that live in you know the the the gentrified areas of wherever right the rich carings and liberals that you see at all the protests, right? The yuppies, I guess. I don't know.

We could get into the name, Colin, later. And finally, or actually a couple more. Trans people who are either psychotic or grifters will continue to bathe. And the sweet assurances that their identity is more powerful than their nature or even God. In my opinion, that'll trickle down. or trickle up to the entire population there on the left, that their identity and what they think and feel is more important than rational laws of physics.

Like, it does come down to that at some point. Because of this precious self-regard, they have becoming willing to kill or maim or allow or encourage others to kill and maim. So in the end, the Democrat Party will implode, but the question is, will they bring the rest of us down with them? And potentially they could just, in all the chaos and whatnot,

but the author goes on to say essentially that, no, there's no way the left can win. We might lose, but we still should be able to win. If it does come to arms, we certainly have the skill and the organization to win. But if it turns into a hot Civil War, hard to say anybody wins that future day and so that's my take on that article i've been kind of seeing this build and i expected it to actually kind of turn into this earlier than it actually has

but yeah charlie kirk assassination was that next level and i'm expecting more political violence for sure yeah yeah it's bad it's dangerous that's why we talk about on patriot power hour the end of the article refers to a point I've made in the past, but this author refers to Kurt Schlichter's American Apocalypse. And the point being is the left doesn't have any capability in a real civil war. That's why it's pretty far-fetched notion, right? It's not, you know, It doesn't resemble the blue and the gray of 1860s, right? Because there's no two sides that are equally well-armed and capable, right? So I think I kind of threw cold water on the idea that there's, you know,

an imminent civil war or more political violence on the way, a couple of times this summer, actually, when various things got out of hand. And it's because the people most capable of violence are the ones, you know, that that are opposing this absolutely irrational political party in the United States now. What I wanted to ask you, Ben, is, you know, if we did a, you know, a flashback 10 years or more, let's say perhaps 2008, when Ron Paul was running for president. as well as Barack Obama and and John McCain in your political worldview in the you know the summer of 2008 running up to election is has been changed significantly can you tell us how I should probably write a book about it someday the metamorphosis but you're right from Ron Paul to the Tea Party to Trump's first term to 2020 and then January 6th and of course COVID all the way to 2024 assassination attempt all the way through now and more to come changed a lot I think but I'm sure I myself have changed some but I feel like the Ron Paul arm let's call it the Ron

Paul arm of the GOP used to be well almost for a good to some degree like fully uh exiled or kept at arms distance minimum but now it's at least half of maga is direct tie to ron paul in my opinion the movement now that's only half of maga and maga is only part of gop i kind of see it like nested dolls only almost or whatever but but it used to be just a few percent Ron Paul and GOP and now it's the equivalent of 20, 30, 40 percent. That's awesome. But I still think the John McCain GOP, which I hated,

the George W. Bush GOP, which I hated, is still 20, 30, 40 percent of the GOP. And it's way too much. But the friend of the, or what is it, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I did bite the bullet and just, you know, I like Trump a lot. more than i like the gop and so i voted for him even though i really didn't want to vote for a

republican and that's where i that's where i stood and it's because these democrats are rats and they become more rat like in the last 10 20 years more pathetic and there's a lot of pathetic gop but man not even close to the democrats in quantity or in uh lack of quality you know just severity of scumness and banksterism associationness as well So talk to me about uniparty and controlled opposition and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, have your views involved on whether there is a contested elections in the United States? I would, hmm, Trump definitely changed it without Trump, it, it would probably, be in very similar place, but Trump disrupted the hell out of it. There's a lot of bankster influences on or around Trump,

but he also takes on the banksters head-to-head, calls them out in a lot of different ways. So I love that, as well as the bankster operations, whether it's make America healthy again. Oh, man, that one's doing great. And just other ways, carbon taxes, that BS, world trade organization, like that's awesome but there's still a lot of banksters and former banksters that either work directly with Trump or near him trying to influence him they just you know they're mercenaries you got to work within that system at some point but you know I don't want to every year I want to make it less bankster influence not more if that makes

sense it does it does so to you before 2016 seen this country had a uniparty how far back would you say that goes yeah the uniparty hmm well first one that pops up is fDR because he had like four terms and he totally revolutionized the federal government mostly for worse now some projects that came out of it were good i guess but uh yeah the new deal fDR that that screwed a lot of stuff up but even going back to the Fed and income tax with freaking Woodrow Wilson in 1913, you know,

the bankster unit party. But the Republicans and, you know, the historic Republicans and Democrats both involved to some degree. So, I guess that's why I considered it a unit party. So to you, before 2016,

the political party system in the United States was on some kind of, you know, ebb and flow towards you know more of a unit party sometimes less sometimes you know you know more clear you know differences between parties and choices being made but in it in its totality that that system was right to be accused of being you know equally influenced by powerful international moneyed interests is that about that by right it seems like the right way definitely

oscillated where there were times, let's just say, early Reagan administration where it seemed like that was getting fought against. But by the end, and definitely by the time George Herbert Walker got in, you know, the difference between him to Clinton to George W, I feel like is pretty negligible. So that part was high uniparty of that oscillation. And then, you know, before then there was definitely some differences and we could talk deeper if you want to get into like JFK or even you know before that of Democrat versus Republican but I do think that it was the banksters that had the great majority of power all across government definitely after World War II but even just the Federal Reserve from then on you could say yeah I'd beg to

differ on the military dimension where at some point bank banksters don't matter but you know banksers don't control what the strategic air command was doing during the cuban missile crisis no nor anything that got them there no nor had anything to do with how it ended that's either the republicans or democrats that they're just they're not yeah they're so that's a uniparty or just no parties involved in Matt, I guess. Well, if things get to a, you know, serious enough level, militaries are institutions that have prerogatives and do do things that, you know, despite being under civilian control, they're still going to do stuff. But if you set aside anything military related, then, then to me, the, this idea that there was a uny party that had these somewhat fake elections,

They have, you know, they oscillated between, you know, parties, you know, in the White House and they were greatly controlled by, you know, they're greatly captured by industry, banking in particular. That makes sense. But what you're saying is Trump flipped this upside down in 2016. And especially in 2024. He's tried in 2016. and it was a heavy lift first off second we've talked about he's gotten a lot better and experience is the best teacher and three you know he's just i think people are more awake and more pissed off so maybe it's more successful and it's just uh been a crescendo so i would say the

last year he did more than the last year by far than his first four years but he still did a pretty good job of disrupting stuff in his first four years don't get me wrong yeah so he's on I mean, the last eight months, just U.S. AID by itself is so huge. Just challenging the Fed by itself is pretty damn big. He didn't really do that in the first. He might talk a little trash, but he appointed Jerome, by the way. So anyway, he's definitely got a chip on his shoulder, and he's more experienced, and he's surrounded himself with better people.

And the Democrats have become even more detestable and horrible. So it's like, okay, I guess there's really. no choice here you know i think that that's almost obvious to everybody so in your adulthood you sat out a number of elections until you voted for trump in 24 right let's see i voted ron paul and oh eight and 12 but i didn't vote in between those so did not vote in like the midterms or local elections in between 2016 I did not vote because I and

I won't apologize for it but I thought Trump was just another bankster minion just a new face on it I thought he was hilarious I thought I was great that he was just embarrassing the politicians and Hillary that deserved it but I totally did not believe that MAGA

would actually be legit I was slowly but surely convinced definitely COVID was a step backwards but January 6th plus him being nearly assassinated like really close I swear even with Charlie Kirk now I think people underestimate how close Trump was for that happening to him that was like okay Trump you know there's

some things I like about Trump some things I don't like but I really really really dislike the people that dislike him so I guess I'm on this bandwagon and you definitely help me come to that conclusion to some degree it's more voting who you don't want than who you want type of thing yeah that's an interesting progression and where you started in this and coming coming to age with you know i guess a choice to vote for george w bush's re-election is that right until now it's interesting for me to hear yeah yeah and in terms of what is the unit party i just try to always look at issues so from let's just say from 2000 hell let's just do from 1992 to 192 to 2016 was there that much

of a difference between the geopian democrats on health on agriculture on business there was some here and there but generally speaking in business it was outsourced to china and let the fed do its thing and get wall street fat right everyone can pretty much agree with that with health it was massive amounts of GMO mass amount of increased vaccines at younger ages both parties agreed with that right and I could keep going on and on and on but it's just like for most issues that I cared about it seemed like GOP and Democrat agreed on 70 or 80 percent of it big picture but now well the gop's changed a lot because of trump and the democrats have just gotten just pathetic like oh my gosh uh there's a lot of democrats that have also agreed

and they are ashamed to call themselves democrats so just ask them they could probably explain it better than me yeah well i i've talked to some and i i i've talked to some and i i there You know, they talk in terms of reform of returning the party to, you know, the middle. And that always used to be able to happen when one of the parties went too far in a direction that would lose the middle, then they'd lose power. And that's the middle, right? the middle of our constituency probably is the you know the piece of the electorate for us over a century that has produced for you this sense of a uniparty party right if you know and and and what the middle is and what it was and what it's going to be you know we could spend all night

talking about but blowing away charlie kirk and reacting that way is is is is is is absolutely bringing the independent voters out of any touch with the Democrats. They can't recognize what that is anymore. And just for my own observation

and people I follow or even know, it's not like 1% or 2% of Democrats celebrating. It's solid like 25%. So it's not all of them, but 25% is pathetic, pathetically high number. Future day, we're going to go to a break real quick and hit the newsblitz. Anything else you wanted to say before we go?

Yeah, I think COVID was a designed campaign to bring about that behavior. During the period of lockdown and separation from people, that side of the political spectrum lost their minds through isolation. Makes sense. That actually connects a lot of dots. All right, folks.

Again, that's the Preppers Medical Handbook by William W.40. all right we're back with the patron power hour episode 318 future dan you're ready for the newsblitz yeah i am all right i'll run us through it i'll be pithy if possible hard for me but i'll try september 16th 2025 newsblitz fresh off the presses future danger dot com let's start with economics the fed is meeting this week should be cutting rates that's what All the odds makers are putting out there.

In the meanwhile, gold price is following that hit an all-time high, $3,682. But even since this article is posted just today, gold price above $3,700. So just every day it's up 20, 30, 40 bucks. It seems like could gold hit $4,000 or more dollars? It's already up 40% this year. Remember, I said I'd be pithy, hard for me with gold. But let's move on. Texas sparks unexpected search and jobless claims.

Highest in four years. Highest since COVID. Consumer prices rise more than expected in August. But services are at the heart of that. Not tariffs on goods. From health, make America healthy again, has been making big-time inroads not just banning and changing things but releasing government studies and documentations they state that the federal government's going to be linking child

deaths to the COVID shots that simultaneously researchers have found that unvaxed children are healthier than vaxed but those findings were not published while they're coming out now a lot of other studies either being started right now or being finally published or finished over multiple years some of these take many years so that continues big time progress geopolitics and security domestically we certainly talked about charlie kirk assassination

when we were on last thursday but yeah Democrats celebrating the assassination from blue sky to Reddit and everything in between many many people losing their job and being outed publicly though so free speech but you got to deal with the consequences

and in Liberty column the first column there's only one article but it is a S-H-T-F grade article meaning actually occurring big time. This is not a conspiracy. This is not a theory. It is happening in front of your face.

This is under unreasonable search and seizure normalized. Red Alert. Airlines sell 5 billion plane ticket records to the government for warrantless searching. Let's say that again. Airlines are selling the ticket records to the government for money for warrantless searching. and, of course, to feed it into the AI systems, et cetera. A data broker owned by American Airlines United, Delta, and many other airlines is selling masses of passenger data to the U.S. government future, Dan.

That gold soars and dissident assassinated. We got three indicators at ShtF this week. Yeah, we do. And unreasonable search and seizure normalized. Usually the only news that makes it to the board is, is actualized on that one, mostly because of the very concept of privacy and having your papers and effects private to you is pretty much obliterated in the digital age, unfortunately. Yes, and I do have a, I've always felt guilty for this that I thought to myself 10 years ago

and maybe I could have made a difference. I thought to myself, that's too late. They already got everything on me digitally. Now, I have gotten away from Google to some degree. I do have a proton mail. And I certainly have private ways to communicate and transfer Bitcoin, etc. I've made that quite public. But how I do that, I keep very private.

But in terms of almost everything else in my digital life, it's way out there. Stupid of me. But it's like toothpaste is out of the freaking tube, unfortunately. yeah but some of this could be you know protected by state governments by law right so what's more important is you know putting an end to unreasonable search and seizure being normal right that's that's what you know i'd like to see happen be safer for everybody yeah just some basic restrictions basic guidelines all around as an individual first but yeah your government might be able helping this to at least don't normalize it and facilitate it or even spearhead it like is being

done here i want to get a little deeper into this super quick even though we got a lot oh it's paywalled what can you say oh well airlines reporting corporation arc this is a data broker owned by the airlines by the way this isn't some entrepreneurial you know small business that came up through the ranks for a great American story. No, these conglomerates got together and made their own data broker that sold into the freaking government. Like, what are we talking about here, man?

What, I says, I can't read through this and maybe you know, maybe you don't know. Is this anything happening because of this? Is this some sort of, like, something to be done about this? It seems pretty bad. Yeah, I don't know what's going to be done. I'm sure it's just the tip of the iceberg, really.

you can go to the archive for unreasonable search and seizure normalized and see grade one fully actualized news stories for the past eight years so another drop in the bucket really what i know what will happen i don't know if it'll be successful but in my professional career i see some of these things class action lawsuits some frivolous and some not frivolous but a class action lawsuit will be filed against this it'll cost them a lot of money Some people might get paid off, but the data is out there already. Costs of doing business. I mean, JP Morgan and banksters don't care if they get billions of dollars of fines

if they're making trillions of dollars a decade's airlines buy the same thing. Hopefully someone sues the crap out of them, though. So let's talk about information security in a more abstract way for a minute. Okay. So when you're trying to protect secrets, and then I, our government and other Western governments, British are quite, quite good at this too for a long, long time. The way to do it is to put information in compartments and keep very, very, very careful track on who has access to different compartments. And then you have a very strong ability to trace back to find out, you know, who's given information to the ad,

adversaries. Right. And one of the approaches early in this process that really got encodified with the creation of the CIA in the 1947 National Security Act, right? The National Security Agency for Signal Intelligence, the CIA, for human intelligence, when that entire apparatus, you know, was stood up. up against the Soviet Union, the concept then was sort of primitive that you just viciously guard against any leaks, right? Any spies, any moles, any loss of secrets. But over time, the idea sort of evolved that everything's going to leak. Information wants to be free. that everything has a possibility of leaking because it's all done by human beings, right? Deathbed confessions, you can't stop that, right? So the information is going to come out. It's all about a matter of where is your risk mitigations.

How do you manage that risk? And how do you constantly minimize, right? so why not why why why why why not in the 21st century every citizen out there every patriot out there do that in your life so if everything was leaked for the past 10 years and you left it all hanging out there that doesn't mean tomorrow that you can't start tightening up right just you know the past is the past the secrets that were lost were lost then tomorrow's a new day I like it and I don't want to get too sci-fi about this but they haven't been able to read your mind yet read your thoughts so when I interact with an AI I do not interact with it with like with my full capabilities I usually talk to an AI in a very dumb way I don't want to feed them more information especially how my brain operates now on the other hand i do a podcast and they could data mine all this uh and probably map my uh voice perfectly in mannerisms but even though my maybe my uh emails have all gone

through gmail or yahoo the last 20 years let's just say that okay so yeah maybe i could start using proton mail more which i am but more importantly i think AI is that next 10 20 years ago where i don't want to be here in 20 years ago and be like man i could have got my AI information security or however you want to say it much better but now it's too late now all my secrets are exposed it might as well be able to read my mind right so interesting thought experiment and something I think that'll become only more real as the years go on so part of this strategy of the minimization and and just putting down this idea of you know you can absolutely the only way to absolutely protect a secret is you

keep it in your mind exclusively so once it goes anywhere else it has risk of being exposed so you know you're you're talking about AI and you're talking about interfacing with the with the grid right with the net there's other things in play right there's there's storage limits gmail yahoo how much did you ever pay to store anything there well you might have filled them up and decided you had to pay because that's what they do they let you get you know to a certain point full and then you got to make a hard choice can you delete it or now are you going to be paying for storage but storage has a cost and so does CPU cycles running running the AI algorithms so what I would say is it's a little bit you know kind of Hollywood movie plot kind of thinking to think that currently on planet Earth, there's an all-knowing, all-seeing

all-capable, perfect storage, perfect artificial intelligence algorithms to absolutely capture every detail of your life. It's not true. But if you're oh, I don't know,

in a Discord talking about somebody shooting Charlie Clark before it happens and and and and our national security apparatus the FBI brings its full focus on things that you put on the internet a few weeks ago well yeah yeah that's that's going to be highly observable there's nothing secret about any of that for you so what i would say is i practice levels of you know information security one of them is i'm future dan on this show right now for example right so different layers for kind of a

layered defense where i'm mitigating how much information do i want to make available how much don't i what's the you know the cost risk benefit and what's the potential that you know of that what i'm putting out there you know surviving for a long period of time and i hope peterra power hour Episode 318 survives for a very long time, by the way. You know it. Yes, sir. The summer finale of 2025, but don't worry. We're going to be back next week and hopefully every week up through about Christmas, Tuesdays, live 7 p.m.

Eastern, man, I can talk about AI forever. I got a lot of other sci-fi or maybe too realistic nowadays. topics to talk about there, but I don't really want to go down that rabbit hole. Maybe we can bookmark that, talk about it. Put a pin in it, as the corporate speak would say. I got to talk about the Fed, though. Can we indulge me? Fed speak.

We got to do Fed speak. When are they making a decision tomorrow? Let's go look up the exact time. I believe it's usually 1 or 2 p.m. on Wednesday? Yeah, it's a Wednesday. Yeah, they usually do that. Now, will I actually be able to find this live? When is Powell speaking?

September 17. So, Powell's really only announcing something that they already decided, right? They private, the FOMAC, FOMC already met, if I understand this, right? Yes, they're meeting today. They had, they met today. They're probably at dinner right now or something. sacrifices on a Black Sabbath or something. But tomorrow they also meet,

I don't know when they make the final decision, so to speak, but at 2 p.m., they released the policy statement. 30 minutes later, Powell has a press conference. Interesting. Interesting this time.

I'm usually pretty boring to most people, but this time interesting because you can have a seriously split the committee vote, couldn't you? You could? And just the fact that Trump is putting a spotlight on the Fed makes probably 20 times more people paying attention to this than did 10 years ago or 15 years ago or 20 years ago. And trust me, Wall Street. And there's a lot of people that care about interest rates and what the Fed does.

but the fact that it's potentially at least based on polymarket 90 what was that 90 9.5% or something yeah pretty crazy 98.3% chance that we're going to oh actually a couple people think maybe there'll be an increase tomorrow they're going to lose my point is more than a 95% chance there's going to be a cut tomorrow but apparently the great great majority believe it's only going to be a quarter of one point rather than half of a point anyway a lot of people will be paying attention to it um just another fed meeting for me no just kidding it is actually super important uh there could be an outside chance that the fed doesn't change rates i think the 1.6% is just too low but i do think that they will cut rates by 25 basis points, but you know, I think it's more like a 5 to 10% chance. They just defy

Trump and hold it for another month because they're going to meet again in October, I believe. Usually they meet every two months, but in the fall they meet monthly, I believe. Not November. Correct. Ah, it's right here on Polymarket. Polymarket's a great tool. Besides

the betting part, it's actually great information. So September 17th, then October 29th, that's the next time they meet. So six weeks, seven weeks. And then they meet one more time, December 10th. So they can potentially cut rates three times, two times, one time, zero. Highly doubt zero. But very interesting.

In the market, I mean, people are putting their money where their mouth is, and that's just a massive amount. And we also have gold pumping big time. Let's see exactly where that is. But, yeah, tomorrow, 2 p.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. or 11 a.m. Los Angeles, California time. Wow, it almost feels like a NFL game. I gave it my best plug.

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday. Gold, actually up tiny amount since closed at 5 p. 4 p.m. Eastern. It's almost 8 p.m. Eastern. It's up to 3,731 bucks. Pretty crazy. Let's just look. year over year you think gold was truly suppressed like all of those youtube videos you know last decade

with all these gold bugs talking about you know the evil secretive financial powers that be in the financial federal reserve and that the real price of gold should be $3,700 somebody was saying in 2012 you think it's been operating off of relative free market price action or do you still think that it's absolutely suppressed so that suppression has been lifted because they just kind of keep a cap on it it's almost like the election i mean i wish i'd make this analogy sooner but we've talked about trump has talked about others have talked about how you might be able to to steal an election if it's like a five or seven percent differential but if it's like a 20 or 30%

in a margin of victory. It's too big to rig, exactly. So with gold, if they were able to corner the market, play the games, never let it get too high, never let it get too low and just make money up and down in between,

they were able to do that for 10, 15, 20 years. They were especially able to do that with very low interest rates, as well as the Japanese yen carry trade, which we've talked about a little bit here, but long story short, the banksters had all, these tricks up their sleeves and they a lot of those tricks are running low they're not all

out but they're running low i still think gold should be 5 000 or higher and they're still trying to keep it lower same with silver silver yeah for definitely it could be what would be overpriced to you oh if if gold got to a certain price what price would you say now that's irrational exuberance people in gold probably are you know should sell now great question i don't i can't do the figures on the back of a napkin right the second i should bring them to the opener next uh week for the season opener something that equates the price of a average home and equates the average wage of a middle class earner in ounces of gold per year in just say the 50s the 60s the 70s before Nixon took us off the standard if we could equate that to now so in my opinion you

know again I wish I had the numbers on hand but the amount of gold to buy a house back then man if you had to translate into how much a house costs now you would need gold to be at like seven, eight thousand plus dollars to truly price in what things like real estate I've done since the 70s and what the stock markets have all done and just how the and just to cap this off this isn't gold going up it's the value of the dollar finally showing that it's lost 40% right because let's just say COVID just because of COVID and all the stuff around COVID shutdowns as well as the government stimulus and the interest rate manipulation, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That right there reduced the value of the dollar by 40%, 40%, you know, within five years.

And gold finally reflects that. However, there's a lot of other fraud that still hasn't been fully felt a bubble that needs to pop. And when that happens, and the dollar plunges another 30, 50, 80 percent, and then gold will easily be 6 grand, 8 grand,000, 10 grand. and that's about where I see it. So much higher than 10 grand and you're starting to think it's over by. At that point, perhaps, but also we might have bigger problems. It might be that the dollars fall in like 10, 20% a year, like year after year. The whole future danger, column three economics is all rotated through black on red, grade one crisis after crisis after.

crisis by the time we're at $10,000 per ounce gold for sure and you asked about like my same theme as earlier a little bit of the evolution of my political thought and supporting all that well going back to where I was economically in 2008 I had just graduated undergrad and just got my entry level job my entry level job paid a third of of what I make right now on paper in U.S. Federal Reserve notes. But guess what? Gold is about three times more than it was in 2008, uh,

in the long-term average that had a spike back then just before financial crisis. Then it bottomed out. But anyway, all intents and purposes, my fiat currencies tripled, right, in my 20-year professional career, let's say. And, uh, guess what? As of today, at $3,700 gold, I'm making about the same amount of gold per hour as I was straight out of college. That's really bad.

You know, that season opener next week, if you could put so much more into perspective, maybe mix a little value of silver in there, just for some contrast, take us back. take us back as far as you want in american history or world history and and i'd love to hear that kind of the whole world laid out if everything was bought and sold in bullion this is what was and this what it is today and this is what we're headed towards that'd be fascinating ben i like i'm gonna put that on my to-do list definitely remind me if you if you don't hear of it from me uh but that's my homework i'm going to make it happen just super quick looking at the cnbc chart summer of 2007 fresh bankster breaker back when i love jim kramer gosh i was such a noob anyway gold was like 700 bucks let's say and it's 3 700 now so we're talking to 5x since the summer 2007 and now

So I'm actually down big time in gold per hour. I was probably making more gold per hour in 2003 at the ice cream stand, making $13 an hour. It was probably equivalent gold per hour as I'm making now because gold was only $300. So it's got up 10x. So yeah, if I was making $13 an hour, that'd be like making $130 an hour now. So there you go, Future Dan. Isn't that just freaking insane? Was that soft serve?

or did you have, like, real ice cream? Real is frozen custard. It was good stuff too. Oh, frozen custard. Oh, my God. I'm still not sure what that is. Why is that different for ice cream? It's got, like, extra butterfat in it.

Uh-huh. We made it fresh on site every day, so that was cool. And you worked the ice cream, Stan? Yeah, I started off just, like, scooping and doing dishes, and by the end, I was running the machine and making it. I was assistant GM. It was impressive. I loved it.

Great first job. How much damage are you making at that? That was like the $13 an hour, which sounds like nothing today. But that is like $13 an hour. What year was that? Like 2003, 2004. That feels like that was. a really high wage for back then for that work yeah well like i said i was like the assistant manager

on certain shifts but there's only like eight people on duty but uh yeah i mean the north you know most folks were making nine or ten bucks an hour which is really good for back then i mean that's literally yeah it was really good money back then um i was doing uh mason's tender in nineteen ninety two at ten dollars an hour yeah nineteen ninety two gold so the funny thing is gold was almost the same in nineteen ninety two as it was in two thousand two so that was mason tender work getting everything ready for the masons that was hard work uh about four or five years earlier in that i was working um at a golf course cutting greens every morning and then rotary weed whacking trench digging actually actually had to pull a platform with railroad

ties in it to rake the sand traps at that golf course almost not yeah that was a federal minimum wage 1986, $3.75 an hour. So you were getting one one hundredth of an ounce of gold an hour. If you were getting one one hundredth an ounce of gold an hour right now, you'd be getting $373 an hour. No, excuse me. $37.37.37 right now. My labor's a little bit more valuable.

I was in high school then. so there you go i mean the manual labor of a 1980s american male in good shape is currently worth thirty seven dollars and thirty cents an hour in fiat terms if you held it equal to gold so wow let's get into that next week i'll remind you that's interesting i gave you those data points though 375 an hour in 1986 mowing greens and then $10 an hour mason's tender which was that was hard work i tell you what bringing all the material cinder blocks putting up the scaffolding bringing the steel wire and then keeping the mud you know just right not too wet not too dry just where the masons could use it and then keeping them stocked while

stocked while they worked and they were you know grumpy bastards anyways right so that was a hard job $10 an hour i thought i was kicking ass at $10 an hour back then but with spring that yeah let's bring all the gold and silver and see you know how how bad basically how bad inflation has been to all of us and it'll be a perfect setup for you to rip on the federal reserve again i'm sure they'll deserve it by next week you know it you know it all right anything else you want to cover i think that was a great show great season a lot of big news it was not a quiet summer we're going to continue grinding every week here on patriot power hour just uh i'm not from not visible where i'm sitting but uh if anybody's in the chat room uh thank you again for
