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. We are live. It's Thursday, the 16th of October. 2025, I'm Ben the breaker of banks. Here's your host today on the Patriot Power Hour.

Future Dan, we will see him in a couple weeks. He's gets a little bit of time off from Patriot Power Hour. I mean, we have done 321 episodes coming in on almost eight years. So a couple weeks off, well deserved. But me, well, I had my time off last week and a little bit earlier this year. no time off for the breaker bankers right now especially with the news we're seeing in the markets and in particular the precious metals we'll go through the news splits we'll cover a swath of news today but hey just so happens to be i have a captive audience here on pbn hope you all

doing well and i'm the only host here today so i'm going to take us directly to the financial aspect of what's going on and really gold and silver gosh i don't want to say i told you so because i hate when people tell me that but i told you so now i know a lot of listeners here and a lot of hosts have also been investing in gold and silver the last 10 15 years it's been pretty boring actually if not a little make you a little jealous watching whether it's bitcoin the stock market real estate just the price of food go up faster than the price of precious metals the last decade but for those who were patient and kept on just putting a little bit of your paycheck or whatever income you can get away buying an ounce of silver a week ounce of silver a

month well you've been rewarded let's just say that of course i as the breaker banksters don't suggest you sell right now. Let's go take a look, though. What are we looking at? Well, it's probably the biggest two weeks in the history of silver since the collapse of Rome, let's say, at least. No, there was absolute craziness in 1980 in the silver market, but we've blown way through that mark, through that all-time high.

Patriot Power Hour was last live October 1st. Today's October 16th. So that's about 15, 16 days. In the last 15 or 16 days, let's go ahead and share my screen here. If you're watching live or you're watching the archived video on X, YouTube, or Rumble, well, you're going to see my screen. Of course, a lot of folks listening on Spreaker or otherwise on the MP3 audio only.

That's great. I'll always try to remember that most of our PBN listeners are listeners. not watching a video, but I do encourage people to at least right now go check out the video of this episode if you want to catch a little bit of, well, I'll try not to get too lost in the graphs and the charts and the numbers, but it's extremely important to understand the magnitude of what's going on. If only to know, you need to be prepping your ass off right now. So anyway, that said, let's go ahead, share my screen. We're going to jump through what's happened in the last couple weeks. This has been insane.

craziest since I've been alive. I wasn't alive back in 1980, but here we go. We're looking at the silver chart. Let's go back to October 1st, the last time we were live on air. By the way, silver had been doing quite well this year up until we were last on air. It was up to $45, up 70% year-to-date. Well, you know what? It went from $45 to $50 to $50 to $5 to $50. 54 bucks just in the last couple days literally more than 50 cents per day every day the last two weeks and it's continuing to rise at that level silver right now 54 dollars 14 cents gold all-time high actually wow had a crazy day today up a hundred and eighteen dollars just today and that's a silver or of gold we're at four thousand three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and three hundred and $27 just this past summer let's go look at some more of this chart real quick just this holy cow look at this chart folks i don't know if you're just listening just go to cnbc or

wherever you could find a chart of gold and just put it on you know going back from this summer till now back in uh right around memorial day we were looking at about 32 3300 gold and i was going pretty crazy on patriot power hour like we're above 3,000 gold we've broken all-time high yeah that sounds so quaint and cheap three thousand two hundred bucks because we're at four thousand three hundred bucks today more than eleven hundred dollars in just three months craziness maybe okay maybe four months four months but just i mean holy cow these last few days gold ripped right through four thousand right through 40100 right through 4200 right through 4300 at this rate it'll hit 5,000 by end of the year now I'm not necessarily saying it will hit 5,000 but holy cow so what does this mean number one this is just catching up to all the inflation that's gone on in the economy the last 10 years all the debt spending all the COVID BS all that well you've seen it

Price of energy, price of food, real estate, double or even triple, but you have not seen precious metals do that until now. So this is just backfilling to what should have happened over the last few years that was being suppressed. The thing is, just like holding a beach ball underwater. Once you let it go, it doesn't just return to the surface, it sky rockets out of the water, right? It goes way out of the water. It doesn't just slowly come to the surface and settle. Well, that's what I'm thinking.

Gold, the gold $5,000 would be hitting the surface. That's kind of the median level price that I would expect. Given the debt situation we're in, the deficit we have, just the overall deterioration of Fiat worldwide. Yeah, $5,000 gold. So I, of course, wish I had bought a little bit more gold and silver. over a year ago, two years ago, five years ago, but I did buy some very glad I did. But I'm also very glad I bought preps, right? Preps have been going up in value too. Use gold as a proxy.

If you don't want to own the shiny rock and you definitely don't want to own Bitcoin, well, just look at your preps. Are your preps going up in price? Almost all of them are more expensive now. First off farmland, good land. Definitely up in value. If you own it, that's a good thing. If you're trying to buy something, that's bad. but my point is we're just getting started with gold and silver and really with everything and it's not that gold's becoming way more valuable at a parabolic rate like you see right here yeah i mean gold is outpacing current inflation but again it's catching up to what's happened the last 10 years all the shenanigans but it's going to over over match that now the question

is where will it stop and the other question is when should you sell if at all i personally think you should not sell i would my gold and silver is being held for e mp type situation right or total financial collapse where hopefully people exchange food or other items for the gold or silver they may not for a while of course so that's why having some prep some foods and water a way to filter water, medicine, all that is super important because for quite a while people may not even take gold and silver and it may be so desperate. Eventually, hopefully, civilization would return enough where, you know, if things were that bad, 80% nationwide dead, for example, hopefully within five, 10 years, your golden silver

would be useful? Maybe not, though, because guess what? If most of the population is gone, there may be just lots of golden silver and other stuff laying around, not that many people. go study the dark ages go study the bubonic plague etc more than half of the working age population or let's just say 15 to 35 that was the working age back then half dead so all your working age and reproductive years wiped out and guess what happens after that uh prices fall big time maybe even of golden silver what i'm trying to say is golden silver is a means to an end it's

way to diversify and it's a way to squirrel things away if the electronic banking system whether that's your actual bank whether that's bitcoin whether that's internet whether that's just electricity in general having some gold and silver it's been working out nicely but again just a barometer it's a good prep in of itself but it's a barometer as much as anything, let's go focus on us debt clock.org. Yep, us debt clock.org. This is the underlying problem that's causing the gold to double in the last 18 months, silver to double, right? It's this debt. We're so close to $38 trillion. We are still, even though the annual deficit is going down slightly we're still at about 1.9 trillion per year of deficit so we're still i mean i

bitch and complain about how much taxes i pay and i pay a fair amount but they're spending a lot more like on my behalf like let's just say at a high level if i paid 10,000 dollars of taxes well they're spending like 14,000 dollars so I'm pissed that they're taxing me already this much, but they're actually putting me in my country in debt even worse. So, yeah, anyway, that is not really being fixed right now. Even though we are in a government shutdown, another, we talked a little bit about that on October 1st,

our last episode of Patriot Power Hour. We did talk a bit about government shutdown. It's still shut down here 16 days later. I'm going to get through the newsblitz, and we got some articles a little bit about the shutdown. But as expected, future Dan and I did not expect the shutdown to be fixed by now. I was wondering if it would be fixed by end of the year. And by fixed, I don't mean fixed because good luck fixing this government.

But I meant not shut down. Interest on the debt, over a trillion dollars. Every year, over a trillion dollars. So it's, uh, it's, uh, Two weeks from today, no, two weeks from yesterday, the Federal Reserve will be meeting, potentially cutting rates. That's led to gold and silver, just going crazy. But there's a lot of other underlying problems in the financial markets. And that's what I titled today's episode of Patriot Power Hour, financial crisis imminent, question mark, question mark.

I have felt like a financial crisis is imminent the past decade, but somehow all the banksters kept their scheme together for a while. well now it seems the gold and silver that they've been trying to repress and suppress is break it out and is not being able to be controlled by them so two options they're accelerating this so they know it's going to fail and they're kind of you know getting behind that or they've just totally lost control and they want to keep gold and silver low but they just can't do it anymore i think it's a little bit of both but more of the fact that they've lost control once they've lost control they may finally just kind of change sides and try to act like they knew what was going on the whole time when they really did not but that's a good example of jp morgan mr jamie diamond himself came out yesterday said yeah i can see gold going to five thousand or ten thousand dollars i hate gold but you know every 20 30 40 years it's good to have some gold Yeah, Jamie, that's what we've been saying.

You dumbass bagsta? Well, he plays both sides. J.P. Morgan, guess what? They have been fined millions upon millions of dollars for precious metals manipulation, and some of their employees are in jail for that manipulation. So that was before Golden Silver River was high as they are now. So Jamie Diamond's always been manipulating the markets. He's a lying little bank.

but now because gold's doubling every 18 months and probably will continue to do so for quite a while as the US dollar totally burns and really just the Fiat system worldwide burns down now Jamie Dumb is like yeah yeah might go to $10,000 you know last 15 years I told you not to buy it it's an old relic but yeah you know it's up 10x from from that time it'll go up 10 times that so that's an example of the banksters talking out both sides of their mouth and making money going up and down and just as importantly you know how they really make money just just like las vegas does by working both sides of the spread the vig right Vegas normally doesn't care who wins because they'll make money either way if they priced it right well the banksters do

more than just handicapped the game well and collect, you know, that little spread in between the number of who wins or whatever, right? So, yeah, Jamie Diamond, one of my favorite banks are still around. Still talking trash about Bitcoin and Golden Silver, but also his bank, heavily involved in Bitcoin, gold and silver, both manipulation and now buying it. one more thing then we'll just get to the news blitz this is my final part of my economic rant generally but if you're looking on the screen right now i'm trying to zoom in as much as possible without acting to it's a little out of control there we go okay yes all right here we go you ready

for this here is where it gets crazy this is this is where it may totally blow up the financial system and again they've either lost control and it blows things apart or they realize it's going to blow up and so they have kind of a controlled crash where they try to end up on top i don't know if i give them that much credit but hey the banksters they're pretty uh they're pretty savvy in their schemes but look at this right here paper to silver ratio 359 to 1 meaning for all the silver that hedge funds have and that you can invest in on the ETFs and any way you can get silver exposure it's called paper when it's just a contract or a derivative etc right when you actually have an ounce of physical silver in your hand it goes clank clank clank damn and i should

have had some of my silver with me how did i miss this opportunity to make silver sounds on air anyway ounce of actual silver there's 360 contracts out there that's such a joke it's impossible it's impossible what i'm trying to say is not only is the paper silver price of 54 bucks low it's possible that there may not even be a price for silver in some places in a short term what do i mean physical silver sold out everywhere you can't find physical silver anywhere and there's even reports and screenshots now take it with a grain of salt but a hundred dollars an ounce for silver in Asia right now on the street they've totally repriced silver totally separated it from the new york and the london prices because those price finding mechanisms are extremely

archaic and broken and significant even at 54 dollars an ounce significantly under price ate the actual ability to get one physical ounce of silver because look again 359 to one ratio we talk about fractional reserve banking right fractional reserve banking's 10 to 1 ratio we got 360 to 1 so 36 times worse than fractional reserve banking the fractional silver banking 36 times worse so i get this it's crazy i don't know maybe i'm the only one freak it out here but but gold is still really bad 139 to 1 but silver that's what the banks is achilles heel and they're getting washed out and why is silver so important goal i i'm harping on silver mostly number one because silver is much more owned by the people

a great majority of gold still owned by central banks and countries and banksters and swiss accounts and shit like that but silver yeah there's a lot of silver in the vaults of the banksters and all this stuff but funny enough the banksters have sold or leased their physical silver to play these paper games where they're able to make all this fiat money but now when the musical chairs ends they may be in big trouble if they don't have the actual physical silver so part of it's the manipulation but when it comes down to it silver is one of the if not the most important at least by weight the amount of it needed and how rare it is combining that industrial and probably more importantly military industrial metal out there talk about rare earth metals and minerals and all this stuff right alloys silver is used i oh my gosh i should ask grok or whatever right chat gpt i believe it's like 10 pounds of silver is using a tomahawk missile might remember in that right even if it was like one pound of silver for every cruise missile that's a pound that's that's a lot of silver at 16

ounces but i think it's more than that how many and that's i mean that silver's totally obliterated forever I think, you know, if that Tomahawk explodes, how many ounces of silver in a Tomahawk missile? But besides just Tomahawk missiles, I mean, satellites and communications gear and other high-tech stuff. Holy cow. All right. So this is the claims, 500 ounces, but they say it's potentially a lot less. This is, okay.

So that's kind of maybe the folk. the folk story about silver because i've heard that 500 ounces or 10 pounds which would be 160 ounces they're saying here maybe it's more like 10 to 15 ounces remember i said more like a pound maybe even if it was one pound not 500 ounces which would be a lot more again that's why i try to use ranges that's why i try to go conservative and that's why i felt like yeah a pound is about right and that's the low end here so let's just say a pound of silver a pound of silver per tomahawk well let's uh let's just assume that none of that silver is ever going to be recovered number one number two the price of that tomahawk just went up now who cares because

the government pays for that well that's just going to add more to the debt in the long run but really what matters is how much new silver is being mined and how much is being used and destroyed Well, all this AI and computer infrastructure, electronic infrastructure, even the electrical system upgrades, tomahawk missiles, all this crap. Take so much silver. And that silver is used up forever, or a great majority it is. Maybe you can recycle some of it. But very great majority of the silver will be lost forever in these processes at this price point.

So with that said, there's already way. more silver being destroyed every year than being mined number one number two there's way more paper silver than real silver so you put that together and we get even more demand for AI even more demand for Tomahawk missiles even more demand for electricity and power to revolutionize the world all that crap and the banksters lose control at the same time we might be looking at not just $50 silver we might be looking at $500 silver by the year 2030 i'm not going to make my bet on that but that's what i would see is a potential mid to high range for silver again right now it's $54 within five years i could see silver up to $500 that's a 10x

to silver now if it gets that crazy government may step in you know what i mean so at your own risk watch out they've confiscated gold before trust me they would confiscate the crap out of bitcoin if they could and uh silver would be right behind especially if they need silver for the ai race to beat china you know everyone with silver must sell it to the government we'll give you a hundred dollars an ounce which sounds great right now but at that point it'd be worth five hundred dollars an ounce you'll still be getting screwed over but uh maybe it'd be better than getting shot you know by the local authorities come to confiscate i don't know maybe i'm getting a little dystopian but i really sucks as i lost

all my gold and silver in a boating accident and then i gambled away all my bitcoin so i just don't have any more guys this sucks so but ever everybody else out there you know be real careful there L2 survive in the chat what's happening I need silver to go to $1,000 an ounce You just heard what I said I did not see your message until that I was saying $500 an ounce by 2030 is not absolutely unreasonable I think it's pretty high estimate but

again if we get this total short squeeze and the banksters have to turn that 360 to one down to 100 to one paper ratio or the entire paper market just destroyed yeah that physical man it'll be going up 100 200 300 maybe even 500 a thousand you'll pay off your house with it i like it man hoping for the best but again i will say this anytime i get too hyped about gold silver or bitcoin or preps or real estate going up in value realize if that happens it probably means the world's getting a little worse yeah if silver's a thousand dollars we're going to be having all types of freaking problems so that's why we're

preppers here that's why we're not just financial at least i'm talking for myself of course not just financial analyst giving financial advice blah blah blah blah no i'm a freaking prepper because i realize at some point yay my portfolio makes me a million dollars okay well who cares if i don't have electricity and i got marauders at my door so yeah you don't want to just be kind of rich in theory it totally defeats the purpose if you're a prepper like me anyway l2 survive hope all as well anybody else that's watching live on x on youtube or on rumble hit me up on the comments section otherwise we're going to go to a break real quick hit up a couple commercials support pbn pbn family dot com and you'll see the list

little QR code this is something really cool i believe intrepid commanders added in the last couple weeks since i was last on air qr code scan that uh there's a few different QR codes that'll come up on the screen throughout the episode or whatever so pretty awesome pretty cool way to help support pbn find out some some things about our sponsors blah blah blah you know we're not here to make cash money we're here to make connections we're here to help change the world in a positive way we're here to prep and share prepping techniques and skills and news so but we do need a little bit of fiat currency to operate so if you're a member trust me your money is going to the right place and it's being used very judiciously if you're not a member i encourage you to try

to be one or donate five bucks ten bucks hell even a couple bucks you know help keep the station going etc all right without further ado let's go to a couple commercials i'll be right back we'll do the newsblitz and finish off the show be right back are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency this is the intrepid commander and i'm holding The Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgey, MD. In this great book, you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid. You'll learn about assessment and stabilization. You'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response, radiation, and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home.

Look, 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in America. Get the Preppers Medical Handbook today at Amazon.com. Again, that's the Preppers Medical Handbook by William W. Forty. Here's my question to you. Are you really going to build that kit? Look, it's 2025. It's time to get honest. Are you going to build out that get-home kit, that bugout bag?

Lima Tango Survival is the best value and the best quality, frankly, that I've ever seen in pre-made survival kits. Traipsing through the urban source. sprawl get your hands on the gray man backpack outfit your vehicle with the edc kit bury a bugout location with the homestead kit lematango solves your preparedness problems okay visit lematango survival dot com and find the kit that solves your problem limatango man time flies it's been about three months since james walton the intrepid commander and and myself, Ben the Breger of Banksters,

tested out the gray man pack. It was two packs. A two-man kit, 72-hour two-man kit. And you could live off of it for more than 72 hours, for sure. It had the food and emergency water and water filter to easily get you 72 hours, plus tent, some metal supplies, all that.

And pretty good backpack, pretty good quality, man. All this was definitely cheaper than I. put together not to mention save hours and hours of your time so the gray man was a again a two backpack system awesome if you got two people but there's one person systems you know one bag uh i think they got a 24 hour pack and a 72 hour pack one thing i've learned from not only uh our our test our trek in july earlier this year it was july right yeah that was mid july three months ago wow then but also our other exercises and just the last five years i've been rucking a little bit more and hiking blah blah blah you don't need a 60 pound get home bag

in fact you probably don't even need a 30 pound get home bag in fact every freaking ounce you can get off of your back when you're trying to get home 20 30 50 miles the better Of course there's some things you really will want So you got to be smart about it But that's where I'm telling you these pre-made bags are awesome They're very well put together High quality stuff I like to put my own bags together and stuff

What can I say It's the opposite of cars Like I don't know Jack about cars But if I was like a really big car guy I would always want to do my own Tuning and adding of parts And stuff like that I do that with my computers a little bit, I guess.

But anyway, I think it's a great base to start with. Great gift. Hey, by the way, it's coming up. Only a couple months until Christmas. You didn't know a, well, either of the sponsors, really. The Preper's Medical Handbook, great gift. And the Lima Tango, talk about a great gift. Get your kids or maybe not your spouse.

They're probably sick of you already. And hopefully they already got a bug our bag. But your aunt, your uncle, nephew, niece, brother, sister, mom, dad, get him. Get him the medical handbook and a backpack. Why not? All right. Did my best plug-in. I'm not a salesman, but I try.

We're going to hit this newsblitz, but I got a couple of comments. Let's see what's up. L2 survive. My solar ground mount should be installed within the next couple weeks. After that, I will technically be off grid. That's sick. is awesome how many uh how many watts are probably kilowatts of solar power can you get i guess like how many uh panels do you have what are the wattages of those and how much battery do you

have that'd be another question i'd have for you because i'm hoping to be right where you're at in oh i'll say about five years i still got a few years to go but i'd love to be fully off grid um maybe even with no electrical connection at all and even if i did have an electrical connection that would be just you know for luxuries right i could i wanted to plan my entire homestead around no electricity but still have the electricity if the electricity's on right so anyway point is that's freaking great news i'd love to hear that when are we going to bring freedom to venezuela and take some of their oil. I think that's already going on.

Hell to survive. But in fact, let's go through some of the news. I think we might have one or two articles on that. No, not really, but I think we're going to be having them soon because it sounds like the invasion is coming shortly. All right, the newsblitz. Today, October 16th, 2025. Let's roll right through it.

Already talked all first half of the show about gold. gold hit a record high above 4100 but then a good above 4200 and then again today above 4300 so just in the last few days it's hit a record every day 13 reasons why gold has outperformed stocks since the year 2000 yeah gold has outperformed stocks what a barbaric relic has been bernanke once said first asset with 30 trillion dollar market cap but keep this in perspective every ounce of gold in the entire world at this price at four thousand three hundred dollars every single gram of gold at this price of gold at this price you know what it's value of 30 trillion dollars that sounds like a lot but that's still not even the u.s. debt if the US magically got every single gram of gold in the world we'd still have eight trillion dollars a debt left over ain't that pathetic anyway foreclosure filings jumped 17% between July and September 2025 let's read that again

because that's important foreclosure filings up 17% in the last few months so gold and silver up huge interest rates starting to be slashed perhaps in an emergency fashion soon because of things like foreclosure filing just jumping a huge amount just in the last couple months otherwise though the markets are near or at all-time highs meaning stock market etc so we'll keep an eye out, though, October is always an interesting time of a year for finances. From natural news, weather, health perspective, not a ton of news. There have been some serious floods, though, down in Mexico. Over 120 dead or missing as floods sweep through Mexico, which is horrible.

bright spot though no named storms no hurricanes or major tropical storms landfall in the US this year it seems that's good so we've had uh of course some the floods in Texas these floods in Mexico there are some floods and landslides in India that stuff happens it's horrible but there's not another pandemic on our doorstep knock on wood there's not category five is causing $100 billion in damage and hundreds of deaths thankfully there's not the big one

on the San Andreas fault there's not huge tsunamis hitting the west coast of the USA so knock out wood again I know I know let's not bring it into existence but pretty quiet right now

geopolitically and domestically though on the security front quite active first and foremost this weekend in a couple days supposed to have kind of the part two of no king's protest will it be violent will there be false flags meaning essentially a Kent state or other mass killing by the police either egged on or actually provocateur or absolutely faked be on the lookout for that

Democrats desperate right now for anything like that in my opinion but hopefully it'll fizzle out we do have National Guard on the streets ICE detaining a lot of rioter

or DHS detaining a lot of rioters ICE arresting detaining a lot of illegal immigrants but thankfully we're not having some sort of massacre that could be grandstanded upon like the Dems would love I would expect right now but look for that this weekend be careful out there deadliest ever fighting between Pakistan and Afghanistan sees drone strikes on Kabul Pakistan and Afghanistan

Now fighting it out Afghanistan of course With billions and billions of our weaponry And equipment left there So they're well armed This is actually under the PAC Nukes lost Pakistan Nukes lost

It's only A grade The lowest grade And of course We don't expect Afghanistan to take over Pakistan's nukes. But any sort of instability or war on the borders of Pakistan because Pakistan's nuclear power is worth watching.

That's essentially what this means while we're covering it here. Chai Com, meaning Chinese communist, linked businessman, man, one of them, donate 65,000 to Democrat, New Jersey governor candidate. Meanwhile, FBI foreign espionage arrests up by half. So if under Biden, for example, there were a hundred foreigners arrested for espionage here in America. And you know there's spies here, right? So we at least got to arrest a few of them.

Even if we were letting them spy on us, we'd have to arrest a few just to kind of look like we were even trying. Well, maybe that was what was happening because just in one year, that's up from, again, the hypothetical, a hundred arrests to 150. So, I don't know. Either a lot more spies are here or the FBI's trying a lot harder. But whatever happened, maybe it's both. I'd expect it's both, actually. FBI foreign espionage up by 50%.

So chikoms donating to Democrat governor candidates. More and more foreign espionage being caught and arrested. that's just what they're telling us about I'm sure there's a lot of a lot of foreign agents that they know who they are and they

don't arrest them so they can keep following them and learn more about the network right that's what every freaking movie would say at least DHS detains three rioters Portland police make arrests in your ice facility again look for this to potentially go haywire

this weekend hopefully not but been hearing some rumblins US intelligence enabling Ukrainian deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure finally last but certainly not least the Liberty column

Sixth Circuit rules in favor of school ban on let's go brand in sweat shirts so well if you don't know let's go Brandon. Let's just say that's a slur

against Joe Biden and school banned kids from wearing a let's go Brandon sweatshirt. And Sixth Circuit has approved of that ban. California uses see-through envelopes showing choice

on mail-in ballots. Let's go see if we can see a picture of this. Again, if you're listening on speaker or wherever you find your podcast you can find prepper broadcasting network pbn remember though we have a lot of video posts every week on x on rumble and yes on youtube although i'm sure they'll ban us again someday so we're going to take a look at this on the video see if we can see the see through envelope essentially you Let's see, they got a good example of here.

Ah, there it is. Okay. You have to run it through kind of like, looks like an infrared light or a really bright light. For example, you know, every kid's done this. You take a really bright flashlight and you put it up to your hand and you can kind of see your bones through your hand. Or you can at least kind of like see through your skin a little bit.

Kind of see the light coming through your hand in some spots, right? Well, that's what we got here. essentially the envelope so thin that you can easily scan and see if it says yes or no or whatever is filled in so so much for security envelopes i mean i'm a millennial so i barely could write my own name with handwriting i've set like 20 envelopes in my life which is kind of a lot for a millennial pretty sure they're called security envelopes we can't see through them right I mean, even I know that is what my point is

But yeah, for voting Of course, for mail-in Absentee voting Supposed to be one of the most important things In our entire society Yeah, well, you know, freaking security envelopes Learn to survive

Here's the, okay, here's the stats All the other Preppers out there Well, first off, leave a comment Wherever you're listening or watching this give me some feedback which you think about the show so far but also want to hear of any of you folks have any solar off grid and here's l2 survive setup 14 kilowatts in solar which is awesome 14 kilowatts you can run a heck of a lot off of 14 kilowatts of course it has to be

fully sunny that day but the point is you have the inverters and the batteries and all that so got 40 kilowatts of batteries okay 45 kilowatts inverters and also 100 amp generate you know 100 amp to get that working so the 40 kilowatts and batteries let's just use that as an example I believe my house let me think here yeah I have a very small house But if I have, if I'm using the heat, like a little radiator heater I have, electric, and I do my, you know, during the winter, and I use my computers and my refrigerators and freezers and showers, hot water heaters, I just live my normal life in my little cabin here. I probably use about between 20 to 30 kilowatts a day. so you have two days worth of electricity for my full use of my entire home and i'm sure you would agree if stuff was hitting the fan you would not be using all the electricity like liberally like just i mean i don't really conserve electricity per se i uh turn off the lights or whatever if i need to but my point is you would not uh be playing with your gaming pc or have your tv on for

the day if stuff would hit the fan so my point is that uh 40 kilowatts batteries and 14 kilowatts worth of panels that'll last you that's pretty much as long as you get sunny i don't i don't know how many but say 100 sunny days a year you could probably be 100% self-sufficient off of that almost there's a lot of places on on uh in the u.s have way more than 100 sunny days a year obviously like down in southern california but it would kind of defeat the point to have off grid but be within 10 miles los angeles anyway that's awesome man in the winter we use 100 kilowatts a day without using the wood stove i'll say if i if it's like a really cold day like 20 degrees and i have to like crank the heat to as hot as it goes on this small heater i

have um and it's on 24-7 it doesn't like turn off in the middle of the day when it gets to like 50 degrees outside or something like that yeah it's probably more like 50 kilowatts a day but again i got a pretty small place but that's legit man that's awesome 40 kilowatts of batteries good luck i hope it all works out uh one good thing about waiting to put your solar until now compared to doing it like five or ten years ago is i think the efficiencies and the quality are up don't hold me to that but i'm pretty sure just kind of what i've heard and seen that solar power and batteries definitely advanced a bit in the last decade so that's great let's see that's about it for all the tense purposes i could go check out a couple of these articles real quick to let's see

let's go look at the foreclosure filings so I'll give you this we're not even close to the 2008 or 2009 levels of foreclosures where at one point they were having almost nearly a million foreclosures a quarter but we're definitely getting up there a bit we're at 100,000 a quarter

so it's up 17% year every year but not a huge amount of foreclosure still but if we see it continuing at this pace for another few quarters could really be in the danger zone but what I want you to look at is look how quick this escalated in 2005-2006 we had about 100,000 foreclosures maybe a little bit more 125,000 but just within like a year and a half it went from it like went from a hundred twenty five thousand to almost a million because that was the subprime crisis so this can really escalate quickly and i would expect it to now they're trying to cut rates as best as possible fast as possible i almost expect 50 basis points in a couple weeks but we'll wait

we'll wait till next week to get deep into that a lot of these foreclosures are in florida and i think a lot of that has to do with insurance as well insurance prices going through the roof or you can't even get insurance because of hurricanes there but you got to remember florida and other areas have also had crazy runups and prices so if you bought a property that had gone up by a factor of three in the last decade and then it goes down 20% in a year or two, it's still up big time in the last few years. But guess what? You're kind of screwed because you bought it at the top.

We'll keep an eye on that. You know that. Take a quick look at gold and silver game before we get out of here for the day. See if it's had any big prices. I swear, the silver chart used to be so boring, only going up a few cents a day, and any movement would be just so slow. Now, it's just like, wham, bam, bam, ham.

Just crazy volatility. Holy cow, I mean, this is looking at a bigger chart, but... Silver... I mean, the day's closed. Still at about $54. And, uh, unbelievable, really. But again, I believe this is mostly just catching up to all the inflation, all the deficit spending, all the fraud and abuse of the last 10 plus years, maybe even going back to

the 2008 financial crisis, like we're still working through that, or that was kind of the genesis of all this crap here. So yeah. Yep. Anyway, people's, hope you enjoyed the show. show bend the breaker of bagsters is going to be siding off here hey l2 survive really appreciate joining me in the chat i'll be back next tuesday next tuesday is what i'm looking to be live again we're almost always live tuesdays at 7 p.m. eastern but we've had a little bit
