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

of Future Danger.com. Patriot Power Hour, we're live. November 4th, 2025, it's Tuesday, it's election Tuesday, 7.6 p.m., episode 324. Ben the Brager Banks is here with Future Dan. What's going on on, Future Dan? Yeah, we've got the election and still in the government shutdown, longest ever. That it is, did not see the cores of all the cities burned down on November 1st when the SNAP benefits ran out. Now, there has been some partial funding, and they continue to sort of keep things afloat.

But each day that the government shut down continues just a little bit more and more damage being done. Now, I am not crying at all about this, but there are some negatives to unexpectedly shutting the government down with no leeway, no contingency plan, just unplugging it. I want government to be smaller, but just unplugging it, I don't know, though. I could be, you know, I could argue that it's a great thing, though. What say you and where do you see this going? The government's not unplugged. This isn't like the typical government shutdown that we saw since Gingrich and Clinton in 94 or whatever. The record that we just broke was, you know, compared to that government shutdown.

It's not like that anymore because, and not, especially not this. year because we got a totally new phenomenon going on every other shutdown was a Republican Congress against a Democrat president Democrat president wanted more money so Democrat president shut everything down down made everything inconvenient made every government employee that could possibly be sent home and do nothing do nothing that was every other one of the Now, though, after reduction in forces, aka firings, I can assure you many parts of the federal government, many people in it are working the survivors of the Trump 2.0 who still have a job. A lot of them are working right now.

The DOD is practically running on nearly 100% capacity. well you know that's part of the government i almost exclude that they're always taken as a special case in my view for better or worse but the federal civilians are actually not getting paid they're actually furloughed but they're still working because they're being watched they sit on the sidelines and do nothing during this shutdown they're actually fearing for their jobs because many of them are in offices where there used to be 10 guvies now there's two and they're one of the two survival of the fittest welcome to the private sector they've been so cush for 50 years i got no mercy for them bring it down to one of them or one out of 20

the dynamics different so so i'm not sure any damage is being done i think i think the entire enterprise is getting leaner and fitter and the employees that are working without pay they're not happy about it they're not happy about it at all a lot of them have credit unions and banks that have loaned them on the anticipation of, you know, being paid back, but, you know, at some point it's going to get really damaging and I don't think either party is going to let it go that far. I think they just waited until the New Jersey and Virginia governor races and downstate ballots to come out, try to make some political hay, some donations, try to gain some leverage on each other.

because they both know on the inside of the government it's running under a republican president during a shutdown i think i think that's for the first time it's not like ever before no not like ever before but you feel that this is not going to last all the way through thanksgiving very good chance to the end you know today's election so if this keeps lasting assuming that these federal employees that fear for their jobs are going to keep working without being paid it's going to start to get really hard on them like you know maybe they're going and getting a second job but if they want to keep that federal job when it opens back up a lot of them have to you know show that they're not just just sitting there with their hands on their you know on their hands i'm talking about like the mid to high level gs you know 15th and 16th that have the you know their responsibilities of duties their supervisors directors etc right they're still working from the best i can tell i'm trying to think i you know i there's a lot of propaganda out there on both sides what have you seen that's maybe the most

false about this government shutdown i haven't listened to it it's Because they're running all the playbook. They're running all, the opposition parties running all the playbooks from all the previous shutdowns, right? But it's a new dynamic, right? Right. There are things that are out of, you know, reach like national parks and everything. We're not going into like a big national park visiting time of year either, though, right? It's not, it's not like you can't see Yosemite in July.

So, you know, I, This could go on. And I'm not sure behind the scenes, the government's not getting leaner and footer. Like any government employee who's not working and whose entire office is sitting on their hands waiting for the closure to end, their giant target for reduction in force and slashing their entire budget, right? They just didn't have any value, so I think most of those survivors of the beginning of Trump 2.0 are still working hard behind the scenes, unpaid, to make their office or their department relevant. All right, putting in that work, there needs to be a little bit of government. So, hey, if only the best get through this and they actually end up working and doing things, and if the efforts started,

by Doge continue. I'm all for it. It's definitely a siege. It's definitely a siege of the federal civilian agencies. The highly displeferred federal civilian agencies. They, you know, they're going to come out leaner.

And there's going to be a lot of people that, you know, they'll get their back pay, but ultimately they're going to be cut from this. And that's the leverage Trump has, right? And it's just going to, to be a certain amount of Democrat senators and a certain amount of, you know,

states where, you know, certain cuts are made before they vote for closure on the, on the continuing resolution. That's what I think is going to happen. After these elections tonight, I think the point was made and the opposition party might capitulate pretty fast. So last Friday, I believe, Elon Musk was on Joe Rogan. The Joe Rogan. The Joe and he said more than a hundred billion dollars a year could be cut just by just by some basic due diligence on social security numbers by vetting them just at a basic level and cutting off all the various funds tied to these social security numbers he said a hundred a billion now that's only you know i think we're running a two trillion dollar deficit so that's like five percent of

our deficit but that's a lot he all he said though that that's only a drop in the bucket that he really if he had the resources and the the backing he could cut the not just the deficit but the entire government budget excluding military in half if not more and accomplished twice as much so that's essentially a factor of four cut it in half and get twice as much done at the same time so if he if he says that he's seen the inside of doge whether it's politicized or not he is very very good at making companies lean and mean and i wish he was back in there doing some of that work but hopefully that spirit of doge will continue i still don't see enough uh reduction in the deficit though enough reduction in government spending but we're still quite early i mean

we had the election one year ago trump hasn't even been in power for a year and it's going in the right direction but you know this is the titanic trying to to turn uh and one year is like turning on a dime so it's tough yeah and it reminds you know the turnaround our economy had to make under reagan the first few years of it the 80s right i was a little kid then but you know you know at some of those points in those first few years it was it was the pits right it was stagflation as worse government spending is not the same as that but it the presidential term given given given someone a shot to bring about effects within four years I'm not I'm not surprised we are where we are so yeah it's a it's probably

going to be the longest got it could go through the end of the year and i don't know if both sides will get hysterical about it either well i think we should go to break real quick come back for the newsblitz then i got a topic that we could probably spend the rest of the show on what do you say about that plan yeah let's do it 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.

Again, that's the Preppers Medical Handbook by William W.40.

All right, folks, it's time for the newsblitz. as always if you're watching the video be sure to check out the screen while we'll share the screen while I go through it if you're on the audio podcast be sure to check out our Rumble and YouTube and you can check out the different video

we're sharing let's just go straight away we're going to start with the economic column because guess what it's empty there is no emergent news on the economic front i will say today bitcoin did very briefly crash below 100 000 the first time it's done that in a few months so bitcoin 25% off of its all-time high gold is about 10% off

of its all-time high same with silver but uh pretty big day on the downside for bitcoin is it on sale or does it have more to go well that's not what this show is about right now so let's continue moving natural news 50 people dead or missing after massive landslide in Kenya but otherwise relatively quiet as well on the health and natural news side of the house where we do have a lot of activity is in the security geopolitics and domestic alike as well as as I consider it

like the freedom column but it's the liberty column I like freedom I like liberty they're both awesome but there is a lot of threats to freedom and liberty out there

and in fact the freedom but really liberty column has been quiet fairly quiet in the last year but pretty

pretty full of news today let's run through it Senate grills meta and Google on Biden-era-COVID speech pressure the road to war with Venezuela

talking about whether that's constitutional or not Ohio Secretary of State refers 1,084 cases of suspected fraudulent voter registration to the DOJ can't have liberty without free and

fair elections and finally Tennessee man jailed over Facebook meme has charges dropped after an outcry so two of these four headlines and the two most severe are actually related to the prior administration so if you control for that there is not many active threats to free speech and in fact it's the opposite Facebook meme try to to turn us into the UK being arrested for memes nope those charges were dropped like to see that and from geopolitical national security and domestic first batch of u.s missiles for japanese F-35 is to be delivered this week. POTUS orders immediate

resumption of nuclear weapons testing. And there was an FBI raid on Halloween. This raid allegedly stopped a terrorist attack on Halloween. Al-Shamandi and Al-Matari,

the names of the suspects. feature dan that's the newsblitz it's relatively quiet today but there is some activity uh where do we stand right now the 4th of november 2025 yeah episode 324 uh some these are relatively new topics to discuss so anything that strikes your fancy on the relatively deactivated heat map dashboard or jump right into your second half topic then up to you hmm let's go with the senate grills meta and google on the Biden era COVID censorship

I know around this time my YouTube channel was mysteriously with no explanation deleted I know PBN was canceled but we've got our account back but it hamstrung us for many reasons

but this coming out of reclaim the net.org reported on a Senate hearing this week discussing government influence on online speech senior execs from meta and Google face questions about the Biden administration's communications with their companies during COVID-19 pandemic what was the government telling or perhaps foreseen meta

aka Facebook and Google to do and even Twitter before it was purchased by Hanlon Musk and turned into X Senator Ted Cruz led the hearing declaring that the right to speak out as the foundation of a free society censorship around the world is growing

I saw a lot of censorship personally of myself but more so of others during COVID so I'm glad they're being held to account even though it's five years later better than never future dane that includes future dangers youtube channel

that's that's one that you watched go down and out yeah I think uh did they give you a reason I forgot did they tell you because you talked about medical information or did they just cancel you after I actually created

such a Byzantine overlapping maze of email accounts that I'm not entirely certain which one was linked to that channel okay and i haven't checked the email ever since so don't really care fully expected it sure well both meta and google and others have tried crawling back and say that we're going to uphold first amendment this is all the last year ever since trump won they would not have done as

come all the one i suspect so maybe elections do matter future dan i like to see that but it's just lip service, I believe, at the heart of it, I ain't trusted that meta or Google are going to reform. Future Danger did have an account on Facebook. Briefly, the API did accept the pushes

of news. That Facebook account was under I believe James Madison's name. And somewhere in the mists of COVID it was

obliterated too most of the followers for some bizarre reason were strongly in tuned in with flat earth theory being not real accounts so I

also never really cared about that Facebook account but we were a victim of that too the flat earthers there are a size A reasonable amount of flat earthers, but I also knew a lot of the flat earthers are bots, exactly. There are a few real people that believe that, but I swear a lot of them are bots, though. I've talked to people there are, but most of them are not real.

No, it was like 100 or 200 followers all with various faces of the same floging in their image. So, no, it was. Maybe not, okay, that's a different subset or set of followers. I didn't see myself, but Facebook especially, I feel like Hasbore of that, but, you know, going back five, six, seven years. Was that supposed to look like a phone app that showed up on your browser looking like a phone app? I never thought Facebook was a very good service. I just never had an account myself. I don't know.

You were in on the ground for that, but I never could believe how popular it was. it definitely jumped the shark by about by about the time the IPO for facebook came out which i think it was like 2015 so like the first five six seven years it was the coolest thing and the most functional thing with regard to social media you know you could say how what is social media functional and worth a damn that's a question we don't have to dive into but but you're right the Facebook, the entire aura of it, as well as the functionality and how it looked, all that did not evolve very much and quickly went downhill. And I was in on the ground floor when only college students, you had to have a college

email to use it for a couple years. I was there at that point. And I used it a lot. And right around 2015, 2016 is when I stopped using it. I go on there like twice a year now at most. But I did find it to be a very, very useful place to get the word out and to learn a lot. And, you know, I got into, pretty much I got into radio and podcasting and writing articles about the banksters and all that. A great, a large majority of the connections I made was through Facebook, at least 50% was through Facebook.

But that was way before the censorship and before the algorithm. there was a point where there wasn't like the algorithm controlling everything so much once that came in it really made it sterile and brainwashing if that makes sense yeah it's probably really several dozen protocols and algorithms all being tweaked constantly to just reduce your reach and shadow ban you and move you into uselessness especially after the 2016 election where both of those certain services up on Capitol Hill and X, then Twitter, many others were, you know, not yet controlled and Trump want. Yeah, certainly. It was after that, for sure. The crackdown was big. And COVID, it was that next level, for sure. A couple of other. Yeah, the resumption of the nuclear weapons testing, what should take on that? So that's a real challenge to the military. And Department of Energy, I'll tell you what, they don't just go without testing one since 1990-something and just, you know, pull one out and pop one off, right? I got to believe it's not going to be, you know, an atmospheric test.

It'll be underground because I think our last ones were underground. But that could be very interesting if they attempted some tests on nuclear bunker buster. it's going to freak out the world though big time Moscow and Beijing will be they'll be freaked out yeah the I remember writing an article I probably not an article but

let's just call like a five page report as a junior in high school about nuclear proliferation and testing and all that and at that point nice I felt that we were past the threat of Armageddon and denuclearization would proceed very quickly. And hell, I would have thought by the year 2025, maybe not all nukes would be gone, but I thought things were going to be hunky door. I guess that's just naiveity of youth, I guess.

Who put that into your head? I don't think anybody I was just like hey we won the Cold War no more nuclear tests non-proliferation is the key we got to keep it away from terrorists and you know unfortunately Pakistan got it but we were very hopeful it wouldn't spread oh that was big yeah all that was true that was very big but the idea that we were going to denuclearize maybe not like 100% but like maybe he could get away with 20% of the nukes now I know for a fact since the Cold War we're down like we've cut our inventory massively but not like as much as i thought but point is

we've got reverse gear we're going to ramp up production i feel if they haven't announced that yet i got i got a feeling they're going to ramp up production there's no need to build no there's no there's no need to build any more warheads now they're still they got to recycle them i think right and make something like no they're good for a long time those now it's not like you know one will just be a dud, right? They were built the right way. The equipment's not a problem. And we got plenty. Plenty. They're not in a state that could go on to a delivery system, you know, immediately, right? They're, they're warehoused, bunkered, but they were built right. They'll work. Now, having the Department of War and Energy, who controls them, too, you know, set,

up the test, that's going to be expensive and a lot of people would be nervous about it because there's probably no one in government today that was serving when it was last done. So it would be fair to say that if one year from now Trump has ordered the production of new nuclear weapons, that would be very, very bad. Those would be specialty weapons, right? those those would have some advanced designs for very niche purposes they won't there's not going to be like a you know an entire redo of the H-bomb for the triad we don't need it we it'd be money poorly spent if they built anything it would be for probably what they did in Iran this summer you know a very small low-yield bunker bus

they probably they probably designed them they've just never tested them okay that was kind of a follow-up question but probably just answered it is well then why test it if we know they work and we don't need to build anymore so why test them show of force just saying it as president of states probably causes every other country to deeply rethink their testing which was probably the goal of him saying it right so in a year from now my prediction he's going to have said ramp up the production of well there could be other weapons he'll say and we have other weapons that will be ramped up in production as well to meet the threat from china platforms hypersonics get you know getting ahead on the hypersonic yeah well that's a different matter putting nukes in space and

admitting that you're putting nukes in space would be a big big big dangerous threshold to cross that's already banned i was thinking more of like other sorts of weapons besides nukes in space but yeah definitely that would be even more of uh a raise you i'll uh call you and raise you well i don't want any of this to escalate so let's just kind of chill here um we'll see when trump sees the price tag he's going to immediately he's not going to want to do it right but it's just a you know taking one of those you know 80s built h bombs out underneath nevada setting it off and setting off a man-made earthquake and letting the whole world know we could still do it that that is kind of a a tool of diplomacy that

he's he's he's wielding it right now Well, I think I'll cover one of the other, actually, besides the Senate grilling Met and Google, the other high-grade article of the day, first batch of U.S. missiles for Japanese F-35s to be delivered this week. Go for it. Yeah, you know what it makes me think, it makes me think that someday, probably with an AI tool, maybe it would be helpful if you help me. put a weight factor on indicators, right? So Japan conventionally re-arming is a sign of danger, but it's, you know, nothing compared to, you know, war with China starting or any leading steps to, you know,

the invasion of Taiwan, et cetera, right? Or the Korean War restarting. So those are the actual wars that would be highly dangerous. Japan rearming is a sort of an ancillary minor indicator in the same arena. And obviously we fought Japan before. Germany's rearming too. They are powerful large states that, you know, with the wrong, you know, probably multi-generational, but the wrong sentiment towards the United States could become foes again, right?

So Japan rearming, you know, the most dangerous. part about Japan re-arming is, you know, China might challenge them and suck us into a war too. So we keep track of it, but it's on a weighted factor, it's a, you know, relatively minor compared to the other factors there bigger and adjacent to it, if that makes sense. Right. This, I mean, it could cause a major incident, but this is more of a canary and the coal minor or Japan. is rearming because of the threat posed from China rather than... Yeah, sort of a leading trailing kind of relationship there. And the trailing indicators are, you know, much more serious, much, much more heavily weighted.

Looking at the last few years, it's been consistent, but it's certainly accelerated in terms of severity of indicators under the Japanese conventionally rearm. In 2017, 2018, 2019, they were forming the basis of this, but really from COVID on, and especially in the last year to record defense spending, record budget, and long-range strike weapons, not just the defense force that I could make some jokes about defending from Godzilla, but it's supposed to be only a very small defense force for the home islands, nothing else, never again, but that's no longer. are the case, is it? Yeah. And South Korea and Japan could secretly have the amount of ballistic nuclear submarines with hypersonic sea launch nuclear delivery platforms, secret nuclear arsenals that could ultimately stabilize Asia tremendously. So if they had some right now on a classified level, I wouldn't be surprised.

You know, both populations would be, you know, you know, very, very, you know, dismayed if they knew what their government's had. And I'm not saying they do. I don't know one way or the other. But Japan, for a long time, certainly could have been able afford it. If they don't have that kind of capability, I'd have to guess they have some bunker somewhere where all the parts of pieces are laid out, right? And just, you know, next week, if they decided, they could, they could arm, right? We got Phoenix Survival, PBN in the chat. What's going on? All right.

Well, at least we're making some money back on these F-35s. How about that? I'm not stoked about this, but, you know. I know Trump wants to make money. He wants to make the number one. export of America, military hardware. We're well on that course. I guess there's a lot of thirst for that out there. Yeah, and Japan is buying from us, but let's be honest, if they chose, I mean, they're space-faring nation. They put probes on moon and Mars. So if they, if they chose

overnight to rearm, they could do it pretty well. They could do it pretty fast. well i would go on to say that their economy is essentially a zombie economy and without our support they would totally crumble but that might just push them into more of aggressive militaristic state which you don't want what i prefer is that the starting picture of game seven of the world series is from japan and japanese love american baseball we could all be friends and you know japan has an interesting culture to say the least, but I don't like to see them arming again. Yeah, they're a vassal state.

They need to stay that way, is how I put it from a militaristic standpoint, from American standpoint. I don't know if I'd call any countries after World War II that we defeated vassals. That's not like from the- They are economically, certainly. That's not like something that KGB would tell the hippies to say out loud. They're absolutely our vassal state. economically, socially, et cetera.

Maybe they have some more slack, but they are fully integrated. When you buy a Toyota, I consider it we conquered the Japanese industrial infrastructure. So Toyota is actually an American car, in my opinion. Maybe just because I drive a Toyota. Same with Germany, but they're getting a little looser now. They're just as quickly trying to run back into World War II against freaking Russia. so any there's no there hasn't been many articles about russian ukraine the last few weeks any

updated status there and how come nothing's scoring on the heat map i suppose even though the combat's raging because it's not dangerous to us so no new news about the ukraine regime about to fall and america having to fill in the gaps having to if the regime fell what will we do I don't think it will but you know we're not going to occupy

Western Ukraine well we had we've definitely talked about how NATO versus US and all that semantics so oh I got a new way of thinking about that I thought of since our last show

so so if NATO equal to NFL would you talk about how NATO is coming to some other stadium to play next weekend or the NFL's like the NFL's playing you next weekend no like an NFL team has to play you but there's there is no NFL that plays football there's not like a permanent standing all-star NFL team to play so you know that's why you can't and And then one of the teams in NATO is the United States of America. It's, you know, the largest, most dominant player. It's the biggest club, right, of NATO, if you use the metaphor.

So which clubs are, you know, participating in something next? There is no NATO. NATO is like a league. It's just an umbrella. It's just a rapper title. or a bunch of militaries it doesn't do anything itself europeans have talked about making a you know unified european force right that may or may not be part of nato but they haven't done it yet you know they're all still separate militaries they're all still separate clubs in the league

interesting i like i like that sometimes the league forces teams to do things they don't want but there is a lot of autonomy in the teams they're not they have a lot of their own rights and force to do things on that front the nfl has way way way way more power over its members than than nato does okay nato the diplomats have to get all together talk constantly to each other And when they, when, when, when, when, when something is announced as, you know, you know, a NATO initiative, it's because all, you know, all the players have agreed. It doesn't announce something and then have, you know, Jerry Jones in Texas speak up and say, I'm not doing it that way. Right. Now, and as you also mentioned, the, uh, the Roger Goodell or Tagliaboo or whoever commissioner you want to use is really,

a U.S. general or admiral at all times. So I keep that in mind too, right? Yeah, that's where the paradigm breaks down. Goodell would be like the NATO secretary. Okay. Right. And the quarterback for the most powerful club in the league is going to be the general of NATO, you know, the Supreme Allied

commander. So parallel kind of busts up right there. But in any event. There is no NATO doing anything. There's a, there's a secretariat that announces the consensus of its members. And we being the biggest member, nothing goes on without, you know, they're never going to announce something out of NATO to have the United States, you know, immediately embarrass and refute it. Trump's gone that direction. He started talking about NATO and othering NATO, making it an other thing. It's not because he doesn't understand that that's false, it's because it's useful for people who don't know any better, right?

It's expedient politically, but it's not reality. I'm not going to try to butcher the name of this Russian city, but I've been watching it sieged and slowly surrounded over the last, well, it's Ukrainian city becoming. Russia, a huge logistics hub in just north of Kharkiv. And if that collapses, a lot of experts think, you know, not that the entire west will collapse, but any semblance of a front line will disappear.

If that happens, no one's going to stop putting in. Or do you think there will be some sort of emergency action? it seems almost inevitable Russia is gaining square kilometers a day maybe it's only a few square kilometers but each day it's increasing I'm not sure how you would apply an emergency situation

above and on top of a hot war that's been going on for years right this is mid-level to high-level conventional intensity war it's the it's the first of this intensity since the World War II so there's no emergencies on top of it because some city's falling all right all right well I'm just wondering if they're going to they can't plug the gap if NATO's impotent to plug the gap then it looks like it's Ukraine's going to

fall in next year or two NATO's forces only work secretly and Ukraine as advisors or semi-secretely i think the french said that the french foreign legion would be there obviously we've had clandestine forces there plain closed clandestine advisors for a very very very long time and british have french have every everybody has every every european and and you know every every nato member has had that presence in limited numbers i'm someday the casualty numbers will come out because those people were obviously somewhere where missile strikes landed right but it's all classified right now but other than that the air power is all just on the border Ukraine is manning the front lines and losing the front lines right now it's

it's them all right NATO's not plug in the gap would have done it two three years ago under Biden. Certainly not now. And it would start World War III. Russians have made it clear. Right. Well, that's, I'm obviously novice at this, but I'm wondering if things look untenable, then German, British, French, U.S. forces do enter, you know, call it a couple of hundred. World War III. Even if they're like a couple hundred, couple hundred kilometers away from the front line, to like, hey, we're encircling Kiev, you can't get to Kiev except going through us. You think that's crossing the line in of itself? Not while there's fighting on the front.

Now, when the end of the Kosovo War happened, right? The agreement internationally was that, you know, U.S. forces, I think British and German forces, and also Russian forces were going to, you know, putting end to the. the fighting and the Russian forces went into Serbia and when the time for the Seed fire were you know was to begin what the Russians had at their disposal was personnel carriers with wheels you might have seen the US striker platform and you know it came about and it was used in the Iraq war well we didn't have that at the time we were all tracked mechanized and the Russian

Russians could get to certain pieces of terrain, certain cities, and kind of, you know, got the jump on, you know, Western forces. Not, they weren't fighting each other. They were peacekeeping, right, occupying to put an end of the war. But that's because the warring parties agreed to stop shooting at each other at a certain time. You know, Russia and Ukraine, they're far from that. So we're not rolling in peacekeepers and grabbing terrain and saying, all right, this is. is where the rump state of ukraine will get to be no you know zolensky or whoever succeeds him it's going to have to sue for peace and as trump has said before the the longer he waits the

worse it gets for him great analysis we do here on patriot power hour anything else you want to touch on for any news any topic before i jump into 10 minutes or so of my topic de jure Yeah, the nuclear testing remark by the president, you know, just two weeks ago or so, three weeks ago, the remark about the Tomahawks, these kind of not-so-veiled threats, Trump's putting them out there, putting everybody on alert that, you know, some real taboo kind of things can get done. And meanwhile in the Caribbean, you know, we've had B1 bombers and B2 bombers flying straight at Venezuela and discussions of putting troops into Mexico. I'm not sure how long the president can, you know, do this before it becomes sort of Pinocchio, you know, we don't, we don't trust what what's happening next. And, you know, I should say not Pinocchio, but like maybe little boy cried. Wolf, right? Like, you know, you're going to have to back that up with action. And I don't think Trump's going to, right? He can't get an act authorizing use of force out of this Congress,

maybe after the next midterm, but not this Congress. So he's kind of cycling through these things. Everybody's taking them really seriously because they're so kind of just like over the top. Dick Cheney died today. In the entire period that he was in, in government right some of this stuff some of the lines rhetorical lines that trump's crossing would have been in cheney's day not because of cheney but just because that's the way washington was like no one was talking that way and trump knows that he's pushing buttons but i'm not sure it's going to be i can't tell if it's destabilizing if it's stabilizing things if it's advancing an agenda it's harming his agenda or some you know frequently

it's harming somebody else's agenda that much I can tell right bowl of China shop well it is election Tuesday I've not looked too much at the results some big governorships up for grabs

some other elections as well I'm sure James Walton will cover some of this tomorrow or later this week he had a good couple good episodes earlier this week I'm going to dive right into this next topic if you're ready. I just would say that we might be looking at basically a socialist mayor of New York.

That's going to be a giant distraction that unless there's any tangible danger coming out of it, I don't intend to talk about on this program, do you? No, not from a news and certainly how we've talked about. how future danger is run and how Patriot Power Hour runs. Focus on actual dangerous events that you can prep against.

It's hard to say that that falls into it. Besides just generally saying there's societal decay and there's a bunch of idiots that think communism is good. So you probably should prep your ass off just because that's sort of folk. There's a lot more of those folk out there and that's a danger

by itself. That's quite a distillation right there. Thank you for that. there you go there you go well speaking of distillation i i only want to go into this for about 10 minutes and i'm not going to share my screen for this first because a lot of our listeners are radio so i need to make sure i can just talk through this instead of relying on people reading it but also it's i have like 15 pages of text that i could go through but certainly don't want to do that I'll try to do a high level, but it's where I'm going at is using AI and specifically chat GPT for prepping. Now, we've talked about chat GPT, we've used it on this channel or on Patriot Power Hour and on Prepper Broadcasting Network.

That was a year ago, two years ago. Do you remember when we first talked about it on PPH? Yeah, easily two years ago. And in your opinion, someone who uses this stuff pretty much daily. you're definitely a power user how much more improved has a i specifically chat gpti gotten in the last two years it's noticeably better by a lot and that's my experience too and yesterday i spent about four hours deep diving using chat gpt using the the five model when previously i'd been using the three and i think the three and a half model

And it is just much more on the ball. It, this is where it starts getting a little creepy future day. And I wish my coworkers were this understanding of what I say and ask me intelligent questions. It's like I get instant feedback, confirmation that understands what I'm saying, confirmation that certain areas need clarification, which I'm able to clarify and it understands it. I'm like, oh my gosh, it really is gone from a junior in high school. school to a you know undergrad or even grad school and that's just at the basic level does that

make sense yeah yeah it does it does but what's not changed is input equals output garbage in garbage out but if you can if if you choose to pay for a subscription the top tier subscriptions now provide a context window meaning the amount of basically words that every time you hit that prompt counting the words you use in your prompt and everything before it in the chat right is getting bigger and bigger and and so the memory is increasing and when that happens you it's going to it's going to give back better answers but at the end of the day is it's still just a manmade parrot. It's parroting things. What it's parroting, though, is millions of people's written works throughout history. So there's a lot there that, I mean, it's changing

everything. The internet revolution, no one's going to talk about the internet revolution for the rest of this century. They're going to talk about the AI revolution and how the internet needed to be invented 30 years earlier before you could have the AI revolution. Totally makes sense and pretty much agree. It's like the internet was the super highway. Now they have the buses and cars and semis that can use it. AI. A couple things.

One of the bigger advantages that I've noticed, maybe it's been working really well the last six months, 12 months, or even maybe a couple years ago. it worked pretty well and I just didn't use it enough but uploading raw documents raw photos what I'm trying to say is if you have a prepper library of like 80 documents and all types of stuff on your desktop just in a folder yeah each file is worth it but you could load all those in maybe not to the free version but to the $20 a month or something equivalent and it will build a library that you can say I only want you to reference this sec you know all the documents that

i've uploaded instead of searching the worldwide web only i have this prepper library i want you to essentially be the google search engine of my personal library way more as and you can say here's my list of my inventory or here's what i have in my bug out bag here's a picture of my preps on the ground it can even recognize your preps from a photo right so and what else tell me more yeah so it could do it could do anything that you can think of if you gave it the data to work on and one of one of the things that i've benefited from is after you get a result and it seems sound you read it and it seems like it's you don't see it you know drifting into you know areas that you know are questionable you don't you read it and it

it makes all the all makes sense at that point run up another prompt asking whether you know demanding you know very serious highly skeptical quality control in fact you know if you have previous broadcast transcripts articles documents web links whatever your you know resources are for a prepper library you know bring it in and and perform quality control on it. You can only improve the raw material that you had. There'll be errors. Everybody misspeaks.

We don't always say everything exactly like we meant, or we might have had a misunderstanding on Patriot Power Hour. You know, people are people. People aren't perfect. The AI can look at, pick a topic, you know, what's the best camp knife to get, whatever, right? You know, fast, fast opinions could be distilled and you know you can get an answer really quick across you know many many many human experts who

wrote about it it can also generate images and starting to be able to generate video especially for the paid versions creating icons and basic images pretty robust very fast pretty cool to play around with the videos sometimes they're weird looking but they're getting better and better um i wanted to go through one i'm going to try to go quick this is the 15 page that i asked about asked it about yesterday you ready what's the topic all right the topic is black hole of debt i just i literally wrote into there black hole of debt and hit enter it then said do you mean and it gave me 10 options you pretty much do you mean literal and metaphorical meanings, economic and political readings, mythic, et cetera.

And I was able to, I said, it's mostly focused on a self-sustaining collapse caused by compounding obligations in debt. And it said, great, thank you. Would you like me to, you know, write a poem about this, write a lower entry, blah, blah, blah. And I said, what I need you to do is help me understand if the U.S. economy is approaching this event horizon of the black hole of debt. I define the event horizon as when interest payments on the debt are equal to 50% of all taxes collected. So all the tax collected, if half of that is just going to interest on the debt, I told it, that's what I want you to consider the event horizon of the black hole of debt.

It then went on and confirmed in several ways that it fully understood what I said. It said, okay, core dynamics include interest gravity, deficit spiral, inflation, erosion, institutional corruption. I said, I went on to say, yes, all of those and more. specifically focus on the loss of animal spirits as described by Adam Smith, meaning not only is their math involved, but the human factor that people just don't give a shit anymore. If everything's collapsing around them, they're not going to go to work or try. Just think about the Soviet Union in the 80s, right? No one wanted to try anymore.

Anyway, from there, I told him to do a deep dive research, just bring it back. This is more of a test than anything. And after 15 minutes of thinking under the deep research, it came back with just incredible information, essentially a 15-page research paper that I would have got at least an A-minus on in grad school. I swear, just reading through this is entertaining, informative, and makes me think. I have not tried to quality check it or ask it, follow-up questions because I'm still digesting it. but holy cow this is impressive and it only took like 10 minutes 15 minutes of me writing prompts and I just got so much information out of it so many threads to pull so I was impressed

whether it's simple to-do lists for my prepper tasks or deep diving you know topics that are pretty nerdy like this man it's it's impressive one thing I've noticed about using crock and you know that's Elon Musk you know, ex-associated AI, that one won't necessarily bend towards, it's not as sycophatic as, as open AI. So your black hole horizon of debt discussion and, you know, in that same chat, ask it to be a modern monetary theorist critic and tell it that you want the alternative point of view. and to write a brutally savage review of the paper that you just got it'll do that it'll do that and then ask it to you know counter that from an austrian economics chicago school point of view heik and all that and then it'll do that and then it'll do that and then ask it to

you know, pontificate on what Mahatma Gandhi would have said about that. And it'll do that. You can bend it any way you want. It is unlimited options. That's where it kind of gets a little crazy. At some point, you're like, okay, what is the real answer then? Well, a lot of gray areas, of course. To capstone this once it gave me all this information and opinions and thoughts and it actually created a few graphs for me i could have done something better in excel however it was real still very good for what it was i said hey i i understand you cannot make predictions and you have some limitations but i want you at the to the best of your ability forecast and create five scenarios that involve

debt interest rates unemployment and inflation those four variables between now and the year 2040 and I gave it its baseline which I thought was a very easy baseline where there was no great depression interest rates didn't go crazy but pretty much there's the same deficit spending as there is now as a percent of GDP blah blah blah and it came out and said in no uncertain terms that between now in 2040 there's almost no chance we're going to get further away from the black hole of debt it did say it's very unlikely we will cross that cannot return event horizon but you know based on the numbers it gave me we're pretty much as close as we've ever been here in 2025 and if we continue on this route in the last next 15 years

we're in big trouble but again this is where the different versions I didn't do you did and say hey take a different view of it per se but i said list on these different scenarios they have a couple scenarios in there that are devastating um where we cannot outrun the debt there's a couple others though and this goes hand in hand with alon musk and what he said on rogan is the only way to solve this is through AI and robotics and advanced technology otherwise there's literally mathematically no way to prevent the black hole of debt from overtaking taking unless we outgrow it. So this pretty much told me that as one possibility. But in the end, like the last sentence is more than likely we will be closer to the event

horizon by 2040 than we are now. So there you go. Yeah. And what I would, what I would say is that's a I would treat every single response you get to like that as a new baseline. Okay. If you read, if you asked it to criticize that thinking now you're into pay dirt because now you're reading a list of you know what would the opponents say what would the people not believing that analysis say you go down that list and you check all right how many of these are plausible how many these are valid and on the day that none of them are plausible none of them are valid sounds like the central bank of zimbabwe now you now you know you're Now you know that we're there, right?

You'd get several counter arguments, and obviously growing our way out of it is one of them. Commercial miniature nuclear, you know, implementation in this country, it's going ahead. It's going ahead now. There's a lot, meta, and Amazon, Microsoft, they are all with it. we're going to have you know our grid is going to be many many many times more you know electrified than it was you know in 10 years from now just because of you know just the potential of AI well that'll create a lot of jobs Elon Musk said the the jobs where you just sit on a spreadsheet PowerPoint and email are going to be gone quick but if you're actually moving

atoms in the physical world those jobs will expand meaning the data centers the infrastructure and in theory all types of economic activity based upon more production more efficiency he said that's the benign

or good outcome he said there's a non-zero chance the terminator outcome can still occur but that's why he said he wants to create grok to participate and try to make a truth-seeking AI, and that'll be less likely to destroy us all. And I was like, that's pretty cool. I like it.

It's just going to create new jobs. It's going to train, like, you can name all kinds of jobs that existed before the internet, before Windows 98, right, before, you know, the 56K modem before the internet of the late 90s. That simply disappeared. It's going to disappear a lot of jobs. necessary anymore because AI can do it, but it's going to create jobs in turn. Absolutely. AI is just a parent. It just, it's, it's not alive. It's not a singularity. It doesn't think for itself. That's all myth. We're not close to that. Right. It's, it's just, you know, an entirely new and advanced way of dealing with information. it's not as difficult as you might think it is on the flip side it's not a magic fix all cure all i suppose but i i just feel like the last i've used it a little bit in the last year but it's been at least

a year since i went deep into it more like a year and a half two years and it's got a lot better and i think i maybe i'm a little more open to it you combine that and i'm really starting to dedicate more time and to use it. So my personal life at work, et cetera. What I can say is that any document they have that's large, there are limits. You still can't do like 3,000 page documents or you know, there's limits, but you can get pretty big documents in place. And now you're doing what would have been called Googling before against a specific document. And you can learn only what you need to know out of it almost immediately, right?

So just everybody's reach on information is all kinds of information that were left to very small communities of experts. It's entirely within reach now of anybody who's clever enough to ask the right questions and bright enough to read the response. well i got a lot of work to do uh every time i've thought today what could be my next chat gpt project i've come up with a lot i just need to get cranking away feature dan this has been a great show anything else you want to hit on before we get out of here make one of your projects pulling down the uh future danger dot com archive downloadable on the website for free um pull it down on spreadsheet see if you can make any hay out of that ben i think uh it's high time we try that i like that i've created some basic analytics

off that c sv file myself it's been a few years so let me repeat that exercise myself and also feed it through your chat gpt see what it comes out with that could be a lot of fun you want that to be the kind of the grab bag topic for next week what do you say well hit me up for the um the list of 492 indicators. Because I think, because one part about using AI is you've got to train it. You have to invest your time and thought into it. So you start off with like,

here's the 249 or 294. You know, keep in mind, these are discrete titles of indicators. That way, the spreadsheet that you give it next, it's got the context. You're not fortunate to take a chance

and see if it understood, the spreadsheet correctly because it might not, right? And what I've found is if you can get a nice flow going, like feed it chunks of information, chunk at a time, see if it understood it, chunk at a time, see if it understood it, you kind of work your way up to now you ask it for the big analysis, which I think is what you kind of told us you did for the debt scenarios and graphs. You built up to it. You got to invest time training the, you know, the large language model on whatever you care about to get the best results. So let me shoot you those list of indicator titles and then feed it the spreadsheet and ask away.

I think compared to the last time we tried this, it could put out some tremendous pattern recognition that neither you nor I have time, it may not even have the ability to detect. Right. No, I really think that's possible. And I was using minimal. I was actually trying to see what it would give me with the least amount of information or kind of the most basic of prompts. So it gave me a lot without me giving it too much. So I really need to work over it. I like what you said, kind of interrogate it with different voices or perspectives. us and see what you can distill and definitely got some homework there. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I call it blending when you're using the AI. You got to blend in, you know, like you're doing a recipe, you start with this and that and put it together and this, that and that. And then you blend in something more.

Like maybe baking is the best example, right? And if you blend, you know, you blend it correctly, you can get, you know, entirely unexpected and fascinating results. But sometimes I felt like I knew I was getting to the best that. the model could give me when I kept that blending process going back and forth, looking at it, different views and different angles, until you could tell, it's just flip-thropping. It told me this last time because I thought I wanted to hear it. Okay, now it's flipped over here on very minor points.

All the major stuff, your analysis is solid. It's not in dispute. But right around the fringes when it starts to flip-flop on you, you kind of get to that terminal state if that makes sense and then you then you know well without some wholly new introduction of data that it doesn't have that that's kind of where i'm at i kind of you know use it to truth seek some issues on that in that manner i like that blending absolutely makes sense to me all right um i'm gonna i'm not gonna say every week we're gonna have a chat gpt segment but I'm going to be using this a lot more for banksters and for prepping and for my personal life and for work.

So, hey, man. I think there's a huge amount of skill with being able to use AI or these large language models. So there's a lot of potential money to be made or jobs to be had in the future of using these efficiently and properly. So that's how I look at it. A lot of the legacy ways of doing things, you know, it's just going to be an automatic knee-jerk, rejection, holding off, postponing,

minimizing, intentionally misunderstanding AI. But they'll crumble. You know, I crumbled. I crumbled. That's where I was. I'm like a little bit of a curmudgeon.

But I just remember, like I'm still quite young. I saw what happened to people who didn't get on the train with the internet or with social media or with blah blah blah and as a content creator you got to get on social media and if you're going to work with information you're going to have to get with AI just that simple the AI era of Patriot Power Hour might might have just dawned books it's fully enforced at this point awesome all right great show 324 into books catch you next week what do you say yeah on our regularly semi-sched

of maybe Tuesday night, maybe Wednesday night, maybe even Thursday night. I think we've introduced this band of midweek where we might, we might hit it whatever night makes sense. Yep. And next year, starting in January, it might be more of a Thursday more often. But, you know, we've been double barrel Tuesdays. We've been Wednesdays, sometimes Thursdays. And our goal for the rest of the year is Tuesday.

but it may not always be Tuesday whatever it will be here and we'll keep bringing the news keep bringing the preparedness I want to shout out L2 Survive just saw your chat from a few minutes ago what's going on have you guys talked about the UPS plane crash yet I didn't see that in Louisville just before we got

on air it didn't look like it was a collision or a cause of air traffic controller that would be the main reason I would talk about it for government shut down what I saw one of the engines was on fire at takeoff which just that's just the worst time for your engine to go So hopefully, you know, it looks like a few people did pass from that horrible news, but not, not someone we really talked about here on Patriot Power Hour, L2 survive, but good to see you again.

So anyway, future Dan, great show. Talk to you next week. All right. Talk to you then, Ben.
