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 Future Danger.com. Patriot Power Hour, it's a season opener. fall 2025 we've arrived it's episode 319 September 23rd 2025 Ben the breaker

banksters here with future Dan wow Ben what do you want to talk about first talk about Trump in New York today the UN General Assembly how about that yep we got some headlines for what he said about Russia to get into later but just as a preview to that i wanted to talk to you we've talked about it on the show before but this this usage of the term nato so do you how close to or separate from nato do you think the united states is not that far at all at least from a funding point of you never went that far away um i think it's pretty close pretty you know joined at the hip is a pretty good term not much less than that so trump in new york is is speaking about giving nato the arms that it can do what it will with ukraine

and and speaks about nato as as an otherness right it's something other the united states and This is one of those times where, you know, Trump's not being precise and his detractors would, you know, you know, just knee jerk to many, many detractors are just knee jerk and try to say that he doesn't know better. But I'm pretty sure he knows better. But when he talks about us versus NATO, NATO doing things that that isn't us, it's a facade. It's not real. And, well, you sent me some good stats in terms of the funding percentages. I already knew that the U.S. has always been more than 50% of funding and also that the Supreme Allied commander of NATO always been a U.S. four-star general or admiral. But right now, based on the numbers you sent me, 62% of NATO funding comes from the U.S.

funding comes from the U.S. So if you got more than half of funding and also the Supreme Commander of NATO is from the U.S., then I agree. It's a facade to say it's anything other than one and the same. So there's committees and nations inside of the alliance, you know, obviously are consulted. And despite having joined the European Union, those European countries have militaries that are, you know, with their intelligence services constitutes the core of their remaining sovereignty, right? So 20-something sovereign nations with their own militaries, their own spy agencies, you know, they're obviously in the same alliance, but, you know, there's, there is sovereignty there, right?

our sovereignty towards you know within NATO is way way bigger than everybody else's and if push comes to shove Supreme Allied Commander Europe SACUR it's always an American the top officer is always in an American so it's not really that separate from us the one place if you wanted to point to you know some hardcore, sovereign, you know, control over assets is the fact that Britain, France, and the United States have nuclear weapons. And we control our nuclear weapons, even when they're in Europe. And there's a lot of them, like 100 tactical weapons.

And the British arsenal is probably aligned more close. under SACUR, if it came down to a nuclear war, the French are not. The French withdrew their arsenal in the 60s, have never brought it back in. And it's completely, you know, a sovereign decision of the president of France if French nuclear weapons get used, right? So that's where, you know, the end of the road for, you know, how tightly woven. Our military and all their militaries are, but we're the, you know, 800-pound gorilla in NATO. So to speak of NATO as something other than us is a pretty clever rhetorical device for Trump, but in this case, it doesn't reflect reality.

No. oh yeah the u.s and our allies came out nato we were really the last man standing with our allies helping us out in the west and sure maybe we ceded some sovereignty meaning france's nuclear weapons we're like okay we'll throw you a bone there you know we're still the boss of you Europe always will be and that's what NATO is and there's been no step back even though I'd like to see one sometimes but uh Trump's certainly making it sound like that's not going to happen he's uh he sent me a link in one of his true social posts you want to run through that yeah let's do it future Dan you there yeah Ben can you hear me technical hiccup on my end

now i'm getting no audio potentially nope feature dan dropped off i don't know if it was me or him hopefully hopefully it was him because i'm the host he made me dial the bag again hopefully people could hear me still it was pretty odd future dan future dad come in yeah can you hear me now ben that must be on my end i was playing around with too many windows and i think it shocked so Firewolf 4 says I'm there I bet you're there and I just can't hear I bet I bet Firewolf could hear both of us it's just I can't hear future Dan that was on my end we do like to blame and truly sometimes it can be streaming arts fault but this is a me issue so let me try to rejoin hope it doesn't destroy everything stay in here future Dan stay in the lobby and we'll hope for the best I'll be right back I'll hold the line Ben hopefully our audience can hear me too Dead Air on Patriot Power Hour, September 23rd, episode 319. Hopefully we can get this episode off of the ground, folks. Stand by.

Future Dan, I'm back. Yeah, can you hear me? I can. I can hear you. that was rough that was rough for some reason windows just totally disassociated my headset and i had to like re-plug it in and it had to recognize it from scratch and i unmuted it and now we're good so that was windows just glitching out whatever five by five firewoods for says so hey live radio self-produced we fixed it knock on wood let's keep power through future dan

yeah definitely maybe before we run the risk of having another error let's jump right into the heat map dashboard what do you say deal let's make that happen all right share the screen boom you got that yeah it's up go for it man awesome let's run through it we're going to go right to left this time why not the fourth column yesterday big time news coming out of the white house and make America healthy again Tylenol during pregnancy linked to meteoric rise in autism study reveals 36% increased risk of heart attacks from the Pfizer COVID Vax separate but related in the Maha movement and then from now Natural news, another Ebola outbreak in the Congo, 63% of, or excuse me,

deaths surging 63% in lockdowns going on in the Congo right now. Something to be worth watching. Many earthquakes, the frequency of earthquakes this year, one of the highest in recent memory, 466,000 earthquakes so far in 2025. almost all of them very small of course but there's been some big ones including a huge one in kumchatka russia a couple months ago well there's another big one eastern russia kumchakka region lava fountains over 500 feet in hawaii 500 feet tall lava fountains holy cow go to 500 foot tall

skyscraper and it's lava crazy economics this will take up a solid 20 minutes of the show at the end i have a very detailed analysis of gold and silver over the years over the decades well gold all-time high today after hitting an all-time high yesterday and multiple all-time highs closing highs this year over and over and over seemingly in the last few months $3,790 per ounce

silver nearly at its all-time high nominal all-time high we'll talk about that later but yeah I think I saw silver at $45 today that's up just a couple few bucks in the last since we've been on Patriot Power Hour

yeah $44.36 for silver $3,800 for gold. There you go. Gold hits record high after Powell speaks. We'll talk a lot about that. I mean, we talk about it a lot here in Patriot, Power Hour, but we got something special today. Fed Chairman, speaking of Fed Chairman, Fed Chairman, says stock prices appear fairly highly valued.

Yeah, you think. Sunbelt states are seeing property prices plummet. And Nevada leads the states with the worst foreclosure rates. Inflation is starting to pick up. Hiring is wobbling. For one of the first times in recent memory, there are more people looking for jobs than jobs out there. Big warning sign for potential recession.

Talked very early in the show about it. Trump at the UN and just other comments by Trump recently, especially today, well, he says straight up, shoot down Russian jets violating NATO airspace. And also, it's time for Ukraine to act. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want. So definitely seems like peace talks failed at this point domestically rioters gas for blocking vehicle at ice facility in chicago suburb rare naked doomsday plane spotted flying over texas naked mean it has no paint on it we'll look into that a little further spice 98 the call sign that's very interesting.

Yeah, very distinct. Space Force conducts the biggest U.S. space warfare exercise ever. If there's one place, I wish I could be a fly on the wall, it's possibly in Space Force headquarters and just see what really, what kind of assets and exercises and capabilities we have. It would be pretty cool. Better have something. I pay a lot of taxes

damn it congressman claims the FBI has at least 20 names of suspected Epstein clients and this is huge I actually did not catch what the intrepid commander said on the back channel

I had technical issues try to get things working today and I missed that the last second but we are going good right now so bygones be bygones but apparently YouTube and Google may un-banned people who were banned and I mean accounts that were banned I know broadcast network had a channel banned I had a YouTube channel band

Google admits to censorship pushed by the Biden administration and invites back banned users future Dan what did an intrepid commander say what did you guys say in the back channels I was actually trying to look at the back channels when everything went to crap so I'm not going to touch it right now but let's start there if you don't mind yeah basically i threw that when i was adding that news article the future danger i threw it in the back channel just to ask where pepper broadcasting networks at by the way future danger had a youtube account a long long time ago we'll see if we can get that back working i mean that is pretty cool but the damage has been done big time my channel wasn't big at all

but it was growing a little bit and if I had been consistent with it like I've been consistent on this show and you have and PBN in general right this is our 319th episode once a week that's a lot of time and dedication my YouTube channel was banned six plus years ago point is I could have had thousands more subscribers in the last six years maybe I'll start again right my next best day to start is now I guess but screw you YouTube, screw Google. I do watch YouTube sometimes, but otherwise I try not to, I don't give any money to it besides the stupid ads I watch, I guess, feature Dan. Well, I'd say more reach is better. So we got to get back on it in many forms. And also, you know, Canary in the coal mine, let's let's put, let's get out there and let's talk about things that were clearly the source of the banning, right? You know, questioning the vaccine. right

questioning the election clearly some of those triggered the expulsion of Future Danger's YouTube channel and I think we need to get Patriot Power Hour onto that platform

watch and see what boundaries cause us to get thrown off again if any all right we're going to do it even though I'm a little sour we'll definitely do it Firewood Forge in the chat firewood forge you're the man he says i agree with the air intrusion comment there's supposed to be a do not cross line a don't line and he also says uh he's either exhausted or her all summer

he's been in the smithy in the forge putting in work all summer well firewood forge always glad to have you he says he hasn't been in the smithy oh he hasn't been able to be in the smithy so he's a little grumpy hasn't been able to smith as much as he'd like exhausted or hurt well good luck heading into the fall you know get a turn around in that hit the smithy as it gets cooler out at least it's got to be a little better in there right uh future dad real quick and and we'll come back to this in future episodes my youtube account was banned before covid so i really want to go back some of the content

I don't know I had at least 80 hours on there of content so it's really hard to pin it down they didn't tell me why but I wonder what did I say

what flag the algorithm if anything specifically I'm going to go back and listen to a couple of those old episodes from 6, 7, 8 years ago anyway I'll tell you right now

and I was using perplexity which is Google's AI throw the word globalist out there and that's now treated as a dog whistle for anti-Semitism automatically

Okay It could absolutely be that It could be my disparaging marks About the banksters and Bernanke It's not logical Trump's been outspoken critic Of the false song Of globalism

His words And like today or yesterday He said that Israel's never had a You know better friend As the president, right? So it's You know It's good

almost hasn't given up their evil tendencies this is an example of them staring down the barrel of a trump department of justice that's ready to bring cases against them good need to keep that that balance otherwise run amok it's a problem this week actually i rarely watched the nbc but right around noon yesterday on monday the 22nd i decided to turn it on and they had the announcement hundred billion dollars being invested into open AI by or excuse me into invidia by open AI they have a relationship going the other way to long story short open AI Nvidia which is the largest stock in the world right now by the way are investing billions and billions and billions of dollars and gigawatts of energy by the

way into AI data centers all that so uh google it's a little bit on the outside looking in right they have their own AI system separate uh they're it's interesting watching these top three or four AI systems jockey for position but it does look like open AI which is the parent of chat GPT so to speak uh is taking the lead off based off yesterday at least and that's a nonprofit point of view yeah i was set up as a non-profit it's going to have to monetize it's going to be like you know before facebook went public but the more that all of the world looks at what trump's doing we're going to have leap ahead capability in AI compared to the rest of the world and with the amount of freedom that we still enjoy compared to like fatality in china this is this this

might easily make the boom from the internet look like small potatoes yes and that's why number one we need competition we can't have one or two AI systems that take over everything we need a few to at least check one another so I'm wrong for Elon Musk and X I'm definitely hoping for Elon Musk to have his own right and a little bit separate check the others because China the data you were reading the data you were reading earlier was from Grock yeah exactly yeah there's those choices for for AI right now at the consumer grade but at the enterprise grade you know different businesses building their own GPTs for their own custom uses this is like when companies began to realize that they needed a website in 1999 now it's companies

realizing they need AI in all of their processes It's going to propel some major growth. So we need that competition. We also need some government regulation. We could talk about that all day. But my point is we do need the DOJ holding these mammoth conglomerates and alliances of multi-billion-dollar companies, hold them accountable for censorship or other just blatant attacks on Bill of Rights, just call it that so we if google's caught censoring and screwing people over on youtube and

google then that should be you know i want the government to take that into account to some degree but mostly i want the court of private or the court of public opinion in the private sector to be like i'm not going to use google a i anymore i'm going to use these other a is and vice versa long story short they got to be held accountable it's got to be somewhat transparent Even if it's going to be an oligarchy of AI systems, we at least need a few and we need the U.S. government to check them somewhat. So this is just all comes down to just elections. Because the next time the Democrats gain power, they're going to do what the Biden White House did and lean incredibly hard upon Google and Apple and everybody else. and when the Republicans regain power after that,

it's just going to be government power swinging one way towards censor to remove censorship. Sensor, remove censorship. I'm not sure I agree with you if the government needs to regulate this. We've got to find ways to make it unregulatable like Bitcoin. I like that for sure but when there's a conspiracy to violate users rights then the directors and officers of that company should be held accountable for example and if the shareholders do that with their own lawsuits or ousting the board and suing them personally that's awesome too but there should be some sort of regulatory framework but it's you know I agree 80% private sector. The only time it's a legitimate First Amendment issue is when the government is infringing the right to free speech. And by going to one of these behemoth information companies and pressuring the censor, they've basically outsource the censorship to the private sector, right? But there is no rule or law or regulation or policy that we can put in place now that's going to prevent.

the next Democrat presidency from doing it again. It's unregulatable. Wow. They don't care what's lawful or not or regulatable or not. They love regulating. They love breaking the law. So agree. And then you've got to make sure they don't get in power.

Let's see. I can talk a little bit. One more thing on the AI. I can talk about it again for a while, but we only got. We can go a little bit later today since we've had a couple tech items, but I have a question about the power requirements of all this AI. They are going to have to start standing up small nuclear reactors ASAP to handle all this power. 10 gigawatts is what this new contract is going to produce over a few years. that's more power than all in New York City

just for this one order of new AI so you add in all the electric cars you add in just more and more activity that's electric well I'm hopeful that the electric system and infrastructure gets a huge investment and we can support that but that's a huge bottleneck they're going to have to work through yeah but you know

it's going to be a demand for electricity that You know, there'll be incentives to supply the demand, right? So I don't know about miniature nukes. I think it would be wise to build modern plants that are not miniature, just, you know, built at the highest level that you can build nuclear power and build as many as we need to keep this AI boom going. well we definitely want to be on the forefront don't want let's just say China they're the only ones that can really compete with us in this front they have a lot more electricity producing power but seems we're still on the forefront of actual AI tech who knows where it really stands super important though firewood ford says AI bubble question mark I'm sure there will be bubbles within it but generally the big picture I feel like it's not even touched like even 1% of the potential that it could have in the next couple of decades.

Think about the dot-com bubble, right? Yeah. So did the speculation in the equities markets exceed reality at the beginning of the technological revolution? Yes. But since the mid-90s has the internet been a massive source of growth and productivity? Absolutely. It's a world industrial

revolution. AI is going to make, is going to, you know, make just the advent of the internet look small, in my opinion. So, yeah, there might be bubbles now. You know, if you're investing in stocks in the AI domain, you could, you can lose your shirt. Now, But if you own a company and you're ignoring AI, really, I mean, how long can you do that for? Especially the more, I guess, I don't want to say white collar, but the more it's information, the more AI is going to affect it. You know what I mean? So we've talked about robots and the like. That's not as likely down the road.

Not going to have robot plumbers anytime soon, we don't think. But accountants, insurance, guys, yeah, for sure, lawyers. So, all right, let's move on. There's so much more to talk about. You want to pick a topic? Yeah, I want to talk about some of the things Trump has come out and said about NATO airspace. It's always been the case that NATO defense NATO airspace. And with drones entering Polish airspace,

And, you know, and there's a slew of reports of drones over other airports inside of Europe now, right? Yeah. You know, I don't know if that's an information operation to piggyback on what may have been Russian drones entering Polish airspace a week or so ago. But something tells me that unmanned Russian aircraft are going to get shot down. I know in the Baltics, manned Russian fighters have entered some airspace. We might have a clash with Russia, and it might not just be unmanned air systems. That might happen at any time. It's going to freak a lot of people out.

But here's the reality of the matter. All the way through the Cold War, anytime any of this ever happened, it was classified, but there were deadly encounters between, NATO and the Soviet Union all around the Soviet Union's airspace during the Cold War. The difference is that we'll be classified, but it would be hushed up. Better believe that Russia and all the NATO countries, especially us, could hide it if we wanted to. They might not hide it this time. well you sent me it was probably from i don't want to look at it now because it'll probably crash

everything uh but i believe it's from true to social where trump was not not only saying shoot down planes entering nato airspace but that maybe we should just give enough resources to nato so they could help ukraine take back everything they've lost and maybe more Meaning going further. And again, that's him othering NATO when there's no reality to it, right? So. What do you take of that, though? What do you take of that statement?

It's meant to allow him to have his cake and eat it too. If NATO does something that he doesn't approve of, then because NATO's other than us, he can flip on him, right? When he says NATO, what he's really talking about is all the other countries in NATO besides us. He's not really talking about the force structure of NATO, which, again, you know, setting aside reserves, not counting all the reserves in France and Britain and Germany. There's a lot of reservists, but active duty military formations, we got the most in Europe all the time anyways. well it'll take a lot of men and material and dollars to push russia back to the original original lines let alone further so that would need a lot more funding for nato than we currently have i think and russia came out and said that they have 700,000 recruits under contract

to begin entrance into the russian armed forces so you know the Russian military is, you know, going back to the standard Russian playbook, which is just draw upon massive amount of manpower. And they're going to come at Ukraine again and try to gain more territory. And, you know, what Trump is signaling is it's going to be a bloodletting, just like it has been. And when the dust settles, there's just going to be that many more hundreds of thousands of young men dead with the Donbass in ruins with their borders changed by a few miles one way or the other this time next year.

Well, you called this in 2022. You said this would draw out for many years and it has. And it continues to, unfortunately, Trump was hopeful to end this war in his first few months even, but he's only one man and doesn't look like it's going to end any. time soon. I don't want to spend trillions of dollars and thousands and thousands of men to push Russia back further. But hopefully that's more of a, you know, him just saying that, that's a difference between, okay, well, help fund NATO to defend everything we got, maybe push it back some. But to get to the original level, almost impossible, it seems. And to push further,

meaning actually get into Russia territory. He just threw that in there. Maybe he likes to do that. Maybe a negotiation tactic. I don't know. But inflammatory, I'm sure. But even listening to you speak, the only ground forces there to do any of that are are Ukrainians and foreign mercenaries.

And let's be honest. And let's be honest, a relatively small amount of covert military advisors from NATO. probably the greatest amount of those military advisors that are covert are from the United States of America and have been all along. But those are the people that are going to push back the Russians. And it won't be the U.S. and NATO advisors fighting on the front line by any means. It's Ukrainians. And I think the Russians know they just don't have the manpower. Yeah, then really they got no hope because there's not enough able-bodied men in Ukraine left at this point.

I mean, you get some French and some of those other Europeans to throw their men in there. Maybe it would help. No, no, that's more than that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's totally cocking then because it's obviously impossible with the Ukrainian manpower. So, so, okay. Yes, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, that's what's saying the Ukraine's like, find it out. He said it before. You don't have the manpower to win. Now he's just throwing it at their lap and be like, here you go.

Europeans are going to buy the weapons. They're going to give them to you. You're going to push all the way the Russian borders and beyond. He's sour about it too because he knows that the loss of life it's coming. But sometimes you just got to let him fight is where he's at mentally. But there is no, you know, the militaries of any NATO member, are not going to be in Ukraine fighting Russians or you have World War III right there. Well, I don't want to spend any more money over there than if it's a losing fight.

But I guess if we had a poll funding fully, then Russia would just steamroll them. Oh, man, that's apparently not acceptable. And you're supposed to be selling everything to the Europeans. They're giving it now to the Ukrainian. So from Trump's perspective, you know, we're not spending money anymore. now the the isr airborne isr package that's flying up and down the borders constantly staring at the russian military from space and from air you know we we are paying for that but i consider that training actually i'm fine with that if you know as much as it can be it's beyond the training that they

actually need to be effective it's it's costly But, you mean, you've got the Russian military actively invading in full-out conventional combat with a state adjacent to NATO. That's, it's impossible not to have that cost. Well, I'll have to try to find the numbers of what Europe's actually paying and when they started actually paying. And if we're holding them to account or if we're like, okay, at least you paid 20%. of the weapons will chip another 80 percent i got to feel it it'll be like that but we'll take a look it's more like these large combat formations just you could start with the salary of the troops but that's only a fraction of the total cost of keeping a unit in in readiness right and

europeans you know the polls and the baltic states they're paying you know they got a lot at stake true definitely so anything else you want hit on national security wise or even domestic security just just what trump said today could be a green light to other members of NATO and their militaries and Ukraine that could get us into some pretty provocative acts in the next seven days before we do our next episode for sure absolutely could I'm looking at this article, the Space Force preparation. I mean, I try out to be too much of a paranoid prepper, but every time my Wi-Fi glitches out,

I'm like, oh, is this the big cyber attack? Well, it's not. We still have the Internet for now, which is great, I suppose. But the Space Force biggest U.S. space warfare exercise ever. Resolute space. I mean, that goes hand in hand. with both Russia and China, which we've talked about quite a lot today. Between that and the naked doomsday plane, what is that about?

Many thoughts on that. Anytime night watch gets spotted, it just activates the indicator, you know, Nightwatch launch. That plane is fairly secretive. It's out of Offutt Air Force Base, the unit that flies the handful of Nightwatch, you know, command and control, nuclear doom. day planes right you it's meant to put the president the vice president you know the speaker of the house the chairman to the joint chief the staff you know they're meant to put them all up in the

air during you know a potential nuclear war so spotting one is you know it makes the heat map dashboard but in and of itself it it doesn't mean a whole lot because they aren't spotted they are their training I don't know what, you know, seeing one without the paint job means. Probably nothing. How about this? They're being purchased secondhand from Korean Air. These are some of the new E4C survivable airborne operation centers. 747-8 airframes, which I believe was the final version of the Boeing 747, which is no longer in production.

the huge Boeing 747. So if you flew on a 747 to Asia, you might, that might be being converted into an E4C survival airborne ops center. When I went to Korea, it was not a 747. It was a 787 for what it's worth. Kind of cool, though, actually. Like the numbers of these are almost certainly classified. Maybe they're acquiring more.

Yeah, could be. all right a couple more items we got to hit on before we get to my gold and silver analysis and uh i really want to touch on the maha movement generally but more specifically we'll talk about Tylenol the how that's linked to reducing the blood brain barrier which can cause a lot of problems. That's just with babies. Tylenol can eat your liver up. Future Dan, I knew this like 15 years ago.

People were like, don't drink and eat Tylenol or take Tylenol at the same time. In fact, don't even really take Tylenol. So I didn't. But guaranteed my mom, I'm sure she took some Tylenol when I was in euro. So maybe that explains something. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know. I think if Kennedy can get some valid studies funded, the amount of connections and surprising changes that could take things that throughout all of our lives, all adults listening to this throughout all our lives, medicines and foods, and get them, you know, make them a thing of the past because they're, you know, as healthy as smoking tobacco is, right? breathing asbestos you know is those those kinds of things that could have been known but

just weren't that would be real success there but um you know there could be a link right they need to study it they need to honestly study it another study for the Pfizer Vax this time 36% increase in heart attacks so there's a lot of studies out there i think you talk you know just mentioning cigarette smoke is a is a good parallel and this is just based off my own experience uh from my grandparents who smoked and my parents who smoked well uh in the 50s in the 40s and 50s pretty much everybody smoked and some people almost said it was good for you eventually by the 60s and 70s it's like it's not really good for you but pretty much everyone smoked

even smoked inside a lot but by the 90s a lot of restaurants stopped being able to smoking them obviously not in planes anymore and but let's just say by like the late 80s you knew it was bad for you there's not really an excuse you got to take some personal responsibility for it before the 80s maybe you could argue you were misled but after the 80s let's just say it's kind of a little arbitrary, but I think that's a good point. Well, I think with vaccines and with sugar and when GMOs and a lot of this other crap were past the point of people being able to claim ignorance or they're misled. Maybe a few years ago you could say, oh, I didn't know eating a ton of sugar every year was bad for me or that bad. Or I don't know, all these other

examples. There's so much education out there now and information that can't necessarily point to it you know it's tough to point to one thing causing all these problems but we know for fact a lot of these things combined make a nasty soup and avoid as much of that toxins as you can and roll the dice otherwise i guess yeah the hard part is not all these things affect people on an equal in an equal way right my grandmother died when she was 90s she spoke that day she happened to choke on a peanut butter cracker. So, you know, you know,

does, does Tylenol during pregnancy cause autism some of the time, enough of the time? Is it scientifically, you know, correlated enough to warrant, you know, not banning it,

you know, we should know these things. We should study them like, like real science, not covered up, controlled, big pharma controlled, captured,

HHS, and CDC, you know, kind of studies, you know, honest, open ones. And, you know, this is Bobby Kennedy, doing what he's always wanted to do. The guy was a Democrat still holds dozens and dozens of political views that are antithetical to what Patriot Power Hour stands for. But on this one main thrust, man, he's got a lot of backing. And you're right. He's breaking down barriers and, but, but, you know, even so, X had pregnant women, you know, getting on and filming themselves taking Tylenol right after the announcement just to prove Trump's wrong.

Oh, my. I saw a meme of someone. Oh, my gosh. Don't want to get into too many memes. It's hard to describe on radio, but it was liberal trying to take Thailand. all while self-masked inside their own car. So I don't know if you've seen some of these people with masks in their own car. Even nowadays, I've seen a few.

Inside themselves. Yeah. They're trying to take Thailand all at the same time. But they can't because they got a mask on and it's blowing their mind. It's a lot funnier on the meme than me trying to describe it. Future Dan, anything else you want to hit on before we get into the spreadsheet, finish the night. Yeah, yeah.

Getting into a spreadsheet doesn't sound like a fun thing to do. It will be, though. 8 p.m. on Tuesday night. So why'd you sell me a little better on that? Tell me what we're going to learn about, what knowledge do you have to impart? I like it. Good. So, for our dedicated listeners that were listening last week, we were talking a little bit about,

huh, I wonder if I translated or converted my salary into ounces. of gold what would that be what would the price of a the median price of a home be in gold or in silver in ounces and how has that changed over the years you know compared to when the federal reserve was put in place 1913 what was the average or actually not average i used median is what i asked AI to put together for me what's the median ounces of gold per year in 1914 compared to now etc etc so really the 15 second elevator speech I want to see what's happened with your wages and what's happened to your cost of living specifically housing in terms of gold and silver are you becoming richer or poorer at gold and silver over the last century we yeah as a nation so we're doing this in pounds right all of it's in pounds you're going to make me try to think of what an ounce is or we're just to get up into the pounds well gold you're going to probably need to be in ounces because it's so valuable silver yes you could uh maybe pounds would be more viable 16 ounces

in a pound so now there are Troy ounces and some other weird things that go on there but we're just going to say 16 ounces into a pound but no we're actually not going to do pounds because I didn't do that conversion so we're spreading to the spreadsheet right now you did ask me to do that but I did not but we're going to be thinking about it in terms of like to picture this I can picture like one ounce gold coins or one ounce silver coins yes yes We're going to review just high-level data. So, again, as I know, a great majority of folks listen to this. But some of you watching live on video, you can see my screen right now, follow along.

Also, if you want to go watch the archive video on YouTube and on Rumble, that's the two best ways you can see this. But I'll try to explain as best as possible. You ready, future Dan? Yeah, let's do it. All right. first i asked chat gpt for median price of gold silver as well as median income as well as median home price by decade i said hey that's all i asked it i didn't put any other context didn't bias it didn't try to even have it figure this stuff out what i'm trying to explain here i just literally said

give me the gold price so in the year 1900 or that decade gold was about 20 bucks in the year 1914 when the fed actually came into being and act you know actually start doing stuff gold was also 20 bucks now 1940 right before world war two in america at least uh gold was up to 35 bucks nearly doubling that was of course the repricing of gold fdr etc so we already seen almost a doubling in gold but that price remained gold was fixed almost perfectly to 35 dollars in the 40s the 50s and the 60s but as we know in the 70s went off the gold standard and all of a sudden gold went from 35 bucks an ounce to a hundred and sixty dollars an ounce. Crazy. Crazy amounts. The next decade, the 80s, gold more than doubled again.

But in 1990s, it pretty much stayed the same or even was down slightly compared to 80. Again, it is volatile, but this is a high-level median. So, 1980s, 1990s, gold, stable. $350.50 pounds. The year 2000, especially post-911. gold doubled again up to 750 bucks now we're seeing gold continuing to double almost every decade uh in fact gold has doubled just in the last 18 months from eighteen hundred dollars which is kind of its average or a median thereabouts around covid and after but now we're at 3,500 in my spreadsheet by the way gold's actually at like what was it at?

going to look at a game 3,800 just tried 3,800 so I mean my spreadsheet is still it's a solid 10% less than what it is right now so the numbers I'm about to give you are actually conservative is what I'm trying to say with silver I did a similar thing I'm not going to go through all those numbers but silver has some interesting nuances we'll get to but it pretty much followed the same path where into the 70s there was a pretty much it went up by a factor of four once they stopped putting actual silver into the coins it went from a dollar i.e a silver dollar with JFK's head on it right a $1 per ounce of silver or a silver dollar in the 70s now it's on it's four bucks and the 80s it's five bucks the 90s it's 450 so again in the 90s That's like the golden age of the U.S. dollar is one way to look at it. It really will look at other ways. It was a great time to earn U.S. dollars in the 90s, but all downhill after.

Silver has more than doubled recently just since COVID. So, yeah. Median income, not going to go through that, but these are the numbers. In the 1900s, the average or the median, I can't. he can hung up on that i hate it it is late 750 dollars made 750 bucks in 1900 now 75 000 yeah but how many ounces of gold how's that compare how many more ounces of gold in each of those years is it take or is it the same oh it had huge fluctuations right now you you're getting an all-time low in gold in your income.

If you live in the United States, you're making less gold than ever in the last hundred years. 21 ounces a year is what the average, you know, kind of what the normal Joe, average Joe out there is making 11 ounces of gold. Average U.S. income in 2025 is how many ounces of gold? 21. And how much was it in whatever year, 1950? 1950, it was 94 ounces of gold.

94. And we're down to what? 21. But the price of gold was controlled back then. Maybe we should only be looking at the 70s after it was off the dollar standard. It is a good question. There is manipulation up and down throughout the, these years. I will absolutely give you that. The long-term average of the last century is about

63 ounces of gold a year, so almost like an ounce a week, a little more than an ounce a week. But right now, you're making like less than, like, maybe two ounces a month at best, maybe less. So when the price of gold starts skyrocketing, like it has been this summer, it's only bringing the value of gold back to historical average in terms of your income yes absolutely in terms of what about housing yes exactly let's go look at that actually housing prices pretty good right now a hundred and twenty three ounces could buy you a house and average home average home in the United States. And over the last century, it's like 176 ounces. So you used to have to, you know, over the last century, a lot of volatility, 176 ounces of gold for a house. Now it's only

123. So housing prices are very low in gold. Not all time low. They were lower in the 70s before the gold standard was changed, as we've talked about a little bit. But, uh, but yeah, no housing crisis in price in gold at least now silver was never controlled by fdr correct it wasn't repriced or confiscated so to speak in terms of like rationed or some sort of price controls not sure i've never heard of any i've never heard of it i have either i don't think they bother with it it's very common you know much more common metal and then even then the you know the government was a voluntary system right did you turn in your gold during the great depression right so maybe maybe ounces of silver before and after back in time and now do you have any

any common things that we pay for that you've you've priced in silver to help us understand the delta there housing again housing so silver is actually not as strong as gold in the housing comparison but at the start of the 20th century it took about 5,000 ounces of silver which is a lot 5,000 ounces for a house now it's more than 10,000 ounces of silver so either the house has gotten twice as good or maybe the value of the dollars just cratered so much or both I will say housing it's a tough one because some say housing craftsmanship and quality is

worse than ever but on the other hand there is a lot of if a lot more added to houses these days electrical systems are much more robust and expensive and I don't know I don't know hard to say that we don't control for the quality of housing so

to speak or the size maybe used to be two bedroom average now it's three that could make a big difference but that's not controlled for um here's what we're four or after let's get to the graphs let's get to the graphs i think that'll help let's look to this bottom left graph let's just uh fiat currency the fall of the u.s dollar at least in terms of housing how many years of salary do you need for a house well early in the 20th century It was about three years of salary.

It dipped to below two years of salary in the post-war era, making money hand over fist, housing boom, population boom, in terms of workers more than anything, but also homeowners. But ever since then, it's just increased, increase, and increased. Instead of being about two to three times your salary in fiat currency, again, this is in U.S. dollars, not in gold and silver. instead of being two or three times your salary now it's almost six times your salary

in certain areas it can be higher than that so yeah there is a housing crisis in terms of being affordability in U.S. dollars but in terms of gold and silver it's actually about right in the middle of where it's been in the last century so there's been times

when housing was cheaper in gold and silver, but there's definitely been times where housing's more expensive in golden silver. And with golden silver continuing to rise big time, it's just another example of, well, the U.S. dollar is failing, number one. Number two, if you've been a prepper and been buying golden silver, that's great. If you haven't yet, maybe it's not too late. We see some evidence that golden silver could still double from here in the next five. years which would put gold at eight to ten thousand dollars silver at a hundred plus

dollars is very possible we'll look at these long-term trends and you know no guarantees though but i think it's i think it's possible future dan yeah that helps the i like the weights like thinking about the weights of it right so is there any other you know we talked about housing and talked about income, any other kind of basic thing that everybody thinks they know what it costs that you can compare over time with metals? One thing I wanted to try was the minimum wage. I believe it was like $1.25 in the early 70s when they actually had silver in the coins, like 90% silver coins.

And my point is back then the minimum wage, which I don't like minimum wages, but we're using this as a scale, a $1.25 minimum wage back then would be equal to like, well, with silver at $44 or higher, it'd be like a minimum wage would be like $40 or $50 an hour if it was the same minimum wage equivalent as it was in the early 70s, which is crazy to think. But again, it's not really gold and silver going up. It's the U.S. dollar deteriorating and a housing bubble. I think this housing bubble is going to pop pretty soon. So we'll see how that goes. You know, one thing I'd like to have for you, Dan, is food. So maybe that's some homework for my next step. Yeah, we can revisit this, but this is great for kicking off the fall season of Patriot

Power Hour. Episode 319, September 23rd, 2025. We've been a lot of topics, but we're finding this to something that really just makes sense to people. I think it's going to be easier for you if at the season finale of the fall season 2025, we've seen Gold do another 20, 30% gain. Yep, that would make a big difference. It does need to be refined a little bit, maybe a little more focused, and there's a lot of data there. But again, in the end, you're getting screwed. So if you're not getting 10% per year, raises, tell your boss you're getting screwed.

Ben the breaker, Banksters told you. Before we leave, Firewell Forge has been chatting while I've been sharing my screen. Let me go through a couple of his comments. he says ah he's talking about Troy ounces versus peanut butter weight meaning kind of like standard ounces that's a great question

great question I was kind of I think I don't know it didn't specify but you're right there are different types of ounces he 16 ounces of gold for the two and a half acres next door to him is what Firewood Ford said yeah maybe we need to start pricing

things in gold and silver leave the fiat currency behind Trump doesn't like that though Trump's trying to save the dollar I don't know if he's going to be able but he wants to you know another way interesting way to do this is how many

how many eggs with a ounce of silver Troy or Imperial whatever how many eggs would it buy in 1970 the year before we came off the gold standard compared to today.

Yeah. I think that's, food is probably the next one and maybe oil, barrel of oil or a gallon of gas would be a great one too. Or how nice of a sports car, pick a model from 1971 versus 2025. Something to make, you know,

bring it home to reality, you know, that's what I think we should aim for. But the point being is these metals have enduring value across cultures, across civilizations, across time, and Fiat money, it's valuable because the government says so, is a very stressed place to be in the world.

Always has been. Absolutely. All right. I think that was a great show. We'll be back next week. What do you say? We are kicked off. That's the premier.

Thank you all for listening on the Pepper Broadcasting Network. coming up this week with the hosts live from Preper Camp as they make their way to the annual event and all the great input and output from that. I can't wait to hear it, Ben. We're going to be able to be. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
