Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of Future Danger.com. Patriot Power Hour back and live, November 13th, 2020, 5. It's episode 324. and guess what it's the official unofficial eight eight the number eight eighth year anniversary a patriot power hour with future dan and myself ben the breaker banks just so eight years future dan that's crazy what's going on patriot man got uh just eight years so much has happened in eight years but it also's gone quickly it's such a paradox getting older and memories and all that

So eight years doesn't really sound real, but it is. And we've packed so much into that 325 episodes, to be precise. Yeah, we're just hitting stride, too, I think. Yeah, getting better. Getting better every, uh, let's say at least every year. Some episodes better than others, but the general trajectories upwards. What do you say? Yeah, I agree.

I agree. What's going on tonight, though? What's, what's on your radar for important topics? for the 325th Patriot Power Hour. Well, I got a couple goals for the ninth year of Patriot Power Hour on Tap. You ready for that? That's a good topic. First, I, well, given that Black Friday and the whole holiday season's coming up and all that crap, whether you hate it or not, you get some decent deals.

I am investing in some upgraded audio equipment and other systems. So one big goal is to increase. the fidelity and reliable reliability of the show so that's one for your future dan another is guests i want to get at least one guest a month so this is my call out i want at least one guest between now and the end of the year and hey firewif forge is in the chat i was about to mention your name potentially if you want to come on firewolf but anybody out there now which day we're live can be flexible we want to i've talked about we want to be more firm with that but on the other hand with guests out there we could pretty much schedule around you so those are those are a couple

i had in mind before we get into the news just topics i really wanted to get your thoughts on i'm springing them on you yeah yeah absolutely full agreement love to talk to people reach out to us and if you're uh part part of the pbm family you know how to do that but for the general audience reach me on at future danger number six on x how about you ben at bankster breaker bankster breaker on x fire row forge says he's boring how are we coming in far before you at least be our de facto producer audio tester you're live always great to see you buddy uh you got i want to hear about stories from the forge but you don't want to come on understood but i'm gonna i'm gonna next year at least get you on at least once um same audio for

all intents purposes all right so future dad question there's not too much on the newsblitz we'll get to the newsblitz shortly but it seems the government shutdowns over so that's something the you know get to straight away if you want to so i was coming in getting ready to do this show tonight and bloomberg radio is a source of news that i pay attention to in order to always understand that perspective right mainstream wall street thinking and never take my eye off that ball it's important because sometimes they do get panicky and knowing that as it's happening is valuable i think but uh a certain congresswoman out of texas dela cruz was on there to discuss at their 5 o'clock hour political show, you know, the end of the shutdown and

Bloomberg host came at her with 20 questions why the president should have sued in to the Supreme Court and should the president have had a plan, just basic Democrat talking point questions. Dela Cruz slammed that host. Just went right back to the point. There was a clean C.R. funded the government, no bipartisan spending, kept everything the same, just clean, continuing resolution, and 13 times the Democrats went against it. So this is a straight up, down fracture. Both parties are going back to their base campaigning as, you know, on who came out on top. But I think that the middle of this country, it certainly looks like Democrats folded.

oh in terms of who folded for sure and anyone who's even somewhat educated and informed knows who caused this and who actually really took the brunt of it the damage from the government being shut down was actually the constituents of the left overall uh so it's uh not logical you and i were talking a lot about logic and I'm trying to train myself on logic a little bit more mr. Spock want to be more like mr. Spock want to be able to interface with these AI programs like a computer not become one but anyway when you start training and looking at hard logic problems and examples very basic stuff and then you apply that rigor to some of the leftist thinking my brain wants to explode future Dan that's not good oh it falls apart most of most of

their platform and it doesn't doesn't doesn't hold up does it so um it's just a constant battle of repeating the arguments against so so many things big argument going on right now that you know the the free trade side of some voices you know on the right that that tariffs might not be a good idea, are starting to emerge. That's not, you know, the Trumpian economics and, you know, neo-mercantile, you know, somewhat, you know, approach to, you know, the economy that, you know, the jury's out on that. Are we going to catch a quarter of negative growth and have more voices speaking out

against that, you know, going back to adopting, you know, maybe not a, you know, never going back to just, you know, sell it all to China, make. you know make anything anywhere if it's cheaper there it's better for us if it's cheaper there you know that's that idea is dead on the right but being a little bit more selective and a little less heavy handed with tariffs you know across the board blanket tariffs you know might start getting some heat soon about not necessarily being the you know the free trade principle that made this country great in the first place well let's Let's look at this.

A lot of listeners of Patriot Power Hour on Prepar Broadcasting Network are not into economics and finance, right? A lot are, actually, more than the average population, I'm sure. But my point is you don't need to be to understand where the dollars go and how things are going sideways. So one little slip up in the system, i.e., the government shut down for a month or two, could have some really nasty ripple effects on a House of Cards. And that's all they're going to do is try to hoover him and blame Trump. I believe, I guess last time we were on the air was Election Day. And we saw Democrats win in some major areas.

And I'm not saying that's what the midter, what's going to happen at the midterms, but that's what everyone's hoping for on the left. And that they would just love to see a market crash. we're seeing some tremors right now. Oh my God. A hundred K, NASDAQ, but the AI sector is still extremely high. And it's just a, it's a battle.

It's a big tie battle. A lot of it doesn't even have to do with fundamentals. The economic battle right now, it's getting surreal. Yeah, Trump's opponents are hoping for incredibly bad things on any front they can come up with. Just shy of, you know, almost openly hoping planes with. crash during the shutdown, right? You know, I wouldn't say any of them said it, but does anybody believe that some of them weren't thinking about what to say if we'd had a fatal crash with passenger jet, right? So, you know, economics is only one dimension in many where, you know,

we have a political opposition that it wishes the worst upon his presidency. well uh we got james walton intrepid commander himself in the chat as well as firewood forge wanted to shout out to the boss the intrepid commander as far as forge called him the boss be on your best behavior no really glad to have you here um we'll go to the news after a short break future dan i wanted to see if you had any other thoughts on government shutdown um or really all the battles Trump is fighting like day by day week by a week it's been nine days since we're on air any other big news items that maybe we won't see on the news splits here in a few minutes but got to touch on the last 10 days eight days yeah yeah yeah uh question for you yeah what what

resembles in the contemporary news environment something akin to wolf boy on the national inquirer or some wild ass news that you don't you immediately don't even believe wolf boy wolf boy so this is like at the grocery store I remember as a kid going to the grocery store with my mom

you know go and I always go your mom you know you go with your mom everywhere go the grocery store multiple times a week and at the checkout stand and the National Inquirer along with People magazine and all this other random stuff but there's always you know wolf boy from ohio caught on camera you know hiding out

parents hide from authorities or something i don't know i'm making this up but you know what i mean or like UFOs or some sort of like mutant uh family that each of them have some sort of weird mutation and it's all BS but it was like almost always black and white newspapers and it was is right at the child's eye level, too. So it's like perfect for a child to be like, I don't want to buy this, Bob. I don't know. Even though it was really four children, I don't think.

I don't know. Anyway, that's what all mainstream media reminds me of these day. Why is it always Ohio? Because I'm from Indiana. I had to throw some shade. If I wrote for it's like, why isn't always Ohio? Wolf Boy from Ohio. It's actually usually from Florida, too.

Wolf boy from Florida. But there you go. But anyway. Right. Yeah. I feel like my whole entire world is like that these days sometimes. I didn't know Indiana through shade on Iowa. Ohio. Ohio. Ohio. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? I'm not from those parts. I'm from New England where every state throws shade on each other in certain ways. Yeah. I mean, what's the wolf boy out there right now? you called it right the epstein emails and really the whole charade around it in the past several years

but especially in the last six months eight months since the government is opening back up immediately the emails some emails came out more drama is taking up all the airwaves and i'll say this i wouldn't trust an email if they If they, whoever they are in the government that release this and find it, et cetera, and process it, if they said it was sent yesterday and they sent it and they released it today, I would still think it was doctored, censored, somehow manipulated. If it's from years ago, like no way, especially, as you always point out, how would they have not used this before the election? so yeah this whole it just reminds me a wolf boy and all the conspiracies out there earth is flat

you're just you're just you're just it's just noise right when something like this is dangerous though because i i might miss important things so i don't know epstein thing though i do i will not trust anything it's breaking news or just released so i'm pretty confident in that but i don't want to get too confident that oh i shouldn't look at some of the evidence or some of things of other topics let's just say and just write it off that's not good from like an intellectual point of view but eh with epstein i know it's all BS so there you go just putting blatant lies out because we're not going to believe that you know first the obama administration and then the Biden administration was incompetent enough to you know not have had these emails right they

They say that they're from Epstein's quote-unquote estate. Couldn't you possibly believe that he had a private estate of emails that went, you know, just sat around outside of any of the investigation? Hard to believe, right? NSA had all of that. So to have this come out is, you know, meant for a low information voter base who can't remember. remember six months ago or six months from now, we'll barely remember just Trump bad Epstein, right? Oh, it acts on the subconscious, too, even if they're like, even if you ask somebody, do you think this is real? They'll probably say, nah, they're all liars. I don't believe it

anyway. But subconsciously, they'll still somehow associate this with, well, maybe it's true with Trump. So as you said, it could be a full on lie, but throwing it out. there in such a coordinated fashion as it's been that's the number one tell that it's BS when all the news channels and everything have coordinated speech and release and it's not just that they all got the information at the same time but they have the exact same stories and threads perfectly ready to rock and uh that's evident here too well with AI that's a lot easier than it might have used to be and in and of itself that's that you know that's not you know a logical proof going back to your desire to get into the logic just

because everybody had it well orchestrated doesn't necessarily mean that it you know it's not genuine what what is impossible to believe is that the administration the democrat administrations were sitting on that and waiting to use it when were they waiting to use it for he he he won an election lost an election and won him came back and beat him again and and we're supposed to believe that this communication was you know not found and readily available by by trump's opponents i it's completely implausible but who else is named in all that stuff right i i understand that the house has to do some kind of process like discharging in order to bring about a vote to release all the files so that that might happen soon too big question is to

you tonight is this still like uh look like trump on the ropes getting beaten or trump on the rope's playing rope dope no he's taking some shots but he is moving pretty good he's He's dodging some, blocking some, and taking some on the chin. But he's got a good chin, to say the least. So he's weather at the store. The thing is, he's not just going up against, like, one other boxer who would get tired. And he just, like, keep throwing in more people into the ring over and over and over. So he's fighting, you know, and he's really actually fighting, like, 50 people at once.

So, uh, and I don't glad hand Trump very much. And also, I would say, I don't have evidence that he's not guilty of any of this stuff. but when we're talking about what's being presented to me I'm just not impressed at all and I've seen Trump do a lot of things I agree with and I support those ideas if he's a scumbag behind closed doors I have no evidence one way or the other

of course I would not support him if that was true but I'm looking at what he's trying to do against banksters election reform immigration all that type of stuff almost like it's hard to do like pretend that he's not a person because he has such a personality and he's pretty damn funny and all this other stuff. But I look at what he does as much as possible. Yeah, one of the things he's doing is having,

was that the big banks are going to the White House for dinner. So maybe that's a, you know, know, know thy enemy's moment too. But the idea to me that Epstein and Maxwell weren't a honeypot operation, that stretches credibility. now, right? So Trump was, you know, certainly targeted by them, right? And how far and how naive it was he before he figured out what it was about, you know, that's what's going to go down in history is the big question. This could be the last gasp of the Russia gate hoaxers, right? This is the last, you know, attempt pathetic attempt to survive you know getting choked out from you know and in the form of

the grand jury going on right now and you know all the all those Obama intelligence officials that are you know staring down justice now right this could be just the last gasp definitely for this set of evil rulers and scumbags and that'd be great it'll be always another set coming down the pike but you know they did not get their e bt riots they didn't get no kings riots they didn't get summer burning down this year um they they can only kind of amp up and try to get people rallied up to do crazy stuff and have it fall flat on their face so many times before it's like crying wolf back to a wolf boy but crying wolf getting everybody whether it's antifa or just whoever out on the streets, you know, it's, didn't catch that critical mass.

So, but this makes it almost more dangerous because they're like, all right, we got to pull out COVID 2.0, but this one's going to be way more dangerous. But as you've said, maybe that can't be done right now. Maybe there's enough good people in the right places to prevent that. But I don't underestimate that. That's why I'm a prepper. So there you go. Wolfman, National Enquirers.

Somebody was buying those national inquirers. that might be our problem yeah I could guarantee I never got one purchase for me I probably asked for them but I probably quickly learned from my mother don't ask again

but they're always there remember I looked through a couple or like I looked through a page or two before she'd swat at me probably they wouldn't put them out if no one bought them oh yeah and people my age

and older let's just say my age and older realized there was no phones to read things on there was no computer sure there's tvs but half the houses didn't even have cable or and this is i'm talking about like mid to late 90s before then of course no one had cable etc etc going back uh 40 50 years but my point is it's kind of boring sometimes so like you know you might just pick up the freaking wolf boy thing because you're bored like uh not not great information to be feeding you're supercomputer above your shoulders but no there's equivalent of wolf boy in digital form these

days that's very popular i'm sure it's it's splintered into a trillion tic-tok videos yeah almost it's almost that's what the brain rod is i guess uh just almost magnified unfortunately what do we got we got ads we got news splits what are we going to do it's got to add Got a couple quick ads and we'll hit the newsblitz and keep powering through Patriot Power hour number 325 on Prepper Broadcasting Network, all right?

Well, long-time listeners of the Patriot Power Hour know that the newsblitz is the spine of Future Danger. And actually, Future Danger.com had a 10-year anniversary. for recently today is the eight-year anniversary of Patriot Power Hour but future dad I'm looking at the newsblitz there's not an incredible amount of news I certainly know there's a refresh and it's being updated on the regular but the biggest article that is on the dashboard I want to cover

first war secretary relieves two dozen generals and admirals over the past nine months haggseth purging military leaders with little explanation according to new york times article i can actually read some of this article uh which is rare for new york times but feature dan as uh you know we've have pretty much i defer to you and nbc guy for anything military what are your thoughts here uh just more of the same maybe doing it since january um i guess ben if you want to ask me like why is it an indicator or when would it go fully actualized or which direction is trump having heggseth go i mean what do you want to know i guess is the question so let's put some numbers to this i like numbers

i believe this is numbers i heard maybe you can fact check me maybe not there's about there were 800 generals and admirals that were summoned to Quantico a couple months ago is 800 right or is there more or less do you remember that was the number given yeah okay so two dozen 24 out of 800 is not that many no really so that's how I first wanted to look at it but also do you know if two dozen 24 in a year is that When was the last time that was done? Is that common? Has that happened during the history of future danger?

Oh, I would be interested in someone comparing that to other firings. Right. But they'd be under completely different circumstances. I think during World War II, there was a heavy, heavy turnover because people just, you know, had had those positions or gotten to those positions before the war. But once the war started, they were not fit for it. And they were relieved. Okay. okay so so so and that happening now in my opinion but maybe it's no no no we're talking about war

like real war and it happened in World War one yeah but it's not war like go back and put yourself into like what people saw and did in 1940 three right or you know 19 18 in in in in Europe right or civil war right there would have been a lot of turnover of leaders in Civil War, too. Because not only for the fact that they were incompetent, but they were closer to the battle anyways. They got killed a lot back then. So this is different, and I don't know if 24 out of 800 is a good measuring stick, because there's a lot of other generals and admirals that weren't at that meeting. That was just the meeting of the commanders, generals and admirals that hold commands. Some of those commands are so big that they have deputies

in the commands that aren't commanding anything right now, but they're also general officers. So there's more. But if you think of this, like, from a civilian point of view, like put yourself in the, you know, a perspective of, oh, your favorite place on Earth, let's do, like, Wall Street, right? So what's a basic position on Wall Street that has general or admiral-like positions? What's that called, Ben?

hedge fund manager yeah well uh the different ranks i suppose if you're looking for equivalent a four star general that'd be like a jamie diamond there's lots of three and two and one star whether they're captains of their own small ship uh small business or they're just you know jamie diamond's lie lieutenants are pretty high up there if you know what i mean so so to put into perspective you know you know selfish versus selfless serving on Wall Street, what percent of the top 800 of such positions would have to be, you know, removed from their position for all of them to be in a panic? A lot more than 24, right?

But in the U.S. military, 24, that's a big wake-up call. That is what every single other... still in service general or admiral have to concern themselves with is do we think twice when we receive orders from national command authorities national command authorities is president to secretary of war to you know the the on the ground commander of the unit getting ordered right is there anything twice is there is there any chief of staff candidates out there that might want to deny the use of federal troops to stop riots and burning of the church of the president, right? And besieging the White House. Is there, is anybody wants to

think twice about, you know, denying those orders again? This is sending a message through a force that has had a massive rank inflation as well as many, many Obama and Biden, point ease. And our military is now politicized. It went a long, long time being able to not, you know, have that as an obvious thing. Depoliticizing it might be, you know, might very well start with calling all of them into the room and saying this is the, this is the way the Constitution works. It's president, the secretary of war, to you, and you follow the orders. And if you don't, you know, you're not you're not going to get you know selected to you know for higher positions which you know most of them get confirmations from the senate right far before it's in the chat

says that's only 3% 24 of 800 so that's all it takes is not turnover at all that is actually i almost want to see more because i know more than 3% were compromised so what's your thought on that is there less than three percent that are compromised or are the other large majority of potentially compromised just being held with leverage now or going to be maybe going to be taken out later no just they won't advance they'll retire at that rank okay and and and and therefore you know we don't want to breed a you know officer corps that's you know absolutely beholden to whoever political parties in power right not at all so the purge it you can't you can't go there is a way to go overboard there is a way to go in excess so 24 is enough 24 is a massive

signal 24 brings a lot of soldiers and sailors you know lock and heels and following orders again it's all it takes because it's not wall street it's not commercial it's not everybody for themselves it's it's the least american example of that and it's effective in its own right because it's not and the 3% weren't just like one star either uh they were they were up on the top yeah deep of naval operations top sailor exactly we report i was literally looking at uh yeah on future dangers in the archive we reported on several of these in the last several months uh three star adble representing u.s to nato fired in april and it's a cybercom commander fired and several are retiring early like you said that's not even included in that

list necessarily um so good good point i mean great point that we don't want the next administration or any administration to come in and just have carte blanche ability to take over but you know you got to kind of ride that line it is the president's prerogative to do this for sure yeah so that's yeah go for that indicator is really there like if there was a major major crisis and then you got news of you know top top brass being fired pretty much behind the scenes you know it's because they're not obeying orders you know that kind of purge of the military could be hand in hand with highly dangerous news this news it certainly qualifies but it's not surrounded by other crimes crisis at the same time right any other big pieces of news this week you want to touch on the dashboard not cooperating as well this week but uh what do you get what do you get if you log into the back end does it show up there good point let me try that let me try that this could be on a little over 10-year

history of future danger in the eighth anniversary of Patriot Power Hour. If you want to log in and show the back end I don't want to like actually at least show something I'm not supposed to. No, no, I'm all for it. I'm all for it. Go ahead.

You should be able to see which indicators are active tonight and drive in and actually see the headlines. Okay. I've done that. I only see one ads. active right now but it could be messed up let me go to the headline wizard I guess I don't know

you can show me around you can you still our audience your screen gotta do it on command out of nowhere all right stop sharing that it could be a case for this could be

a case for this really not a lot of bad news well that's the question I mean I have been so busy at work all week I haven't read too much news I didn't know if this is a malfunction or there's really just a only one important article right here I'll show the back end shortly here's that Hegseth article and for everyone who's watching I wasn't sharing this at first because I thought it was broken no that's it that's it that is now any listeners long time listeners want to shout out and say we're missing it we're dropping the ball we're paying attention to hunting season more than we are the news environment whatever it may be let us know but it you know there's plenty of news out there but rating on the heat map dashboard just don't see it i mean i don't have any that i would throw on here we talked about wolf boy and we've explained why articles like that really don't rate on the heat map but

might as well for new listeners why is epstein not on here powerful pedophiles exposed is the head it would be the location for that unless there was more evidence that he was an officer of a foreign intelligence services and that would be under black ops suspected and that's not really the news we got, and I don't think it really rates as Trump being exposed as a pedophile. Nobody's saying that. So it's not there. And I would say there are more than 100 articles in the powerful pedophiles exposed indicator, including half of those are got to be Epstein.

So we've absolutely reported on it. I think it doesn't rate because there's no true evidence that it's really. and can't be trusted as far as you could throw as far as you could throw i'm trying to think of a fat politician Pritzker or something but you know they would if there was like a providence to the email that that locked it in and made it like at least a plausible argument why these this has to be taken seriously because there's been you know custody of the evidence the Democrats would have said that but they don't even do that it's not even meant for reasonable people to even begin to question it's meant for people that you know

Trump bad Epstein it's like those are three kind of blurred concepts that they can you know take away from this keep it simple a lot of your voters are a bunch of idiots obviously so there's that aspect it's just almost like suppressive fire just shooting a gun over the trench without looking, just, you know, emptying the entire magazine, just hoping it either, not only hits somebody, just keeps their head down, distracts them while your team goes around, you know, but that's desperation as well. It's not like, that's not super effective usually. Suppressive fire is exactly right.

Suppressive fire. It's not suppressing me, so I pay less, I put any more brain power to it the rest of the day. I'll tell you that. You know, what it really is, is red meat to their base to get the heat off the Schumer for letting Senate Democrats cave. That's really, politically that's what it is for sure, like this particular phase of it, for sure. Like, why did it happen right now? That was not a coincidence that happened like the day of or after. Yeah, exactly. Shut down, ended and voted and all that.

Yeah, it's not like they just, oh, look. We've discovered this now. That's not the way it works in D.C., I'm afraid. That's a logical. I don't believe a coincidence, but there are very small percentage probability statistical events that do happen. Crazy stuff does happen. That's not, but you can't stack like a hundred of them in a row and say all of these things that are one in a million chance happened. And that's what they're trying to get us to believe these days.

with everything from the financial system to the freaking pandemic and geez i can name 10 15 more things but i don't want to go down a diatribe without uh without asking if you had anything else to cover because we got about 10 minutes left on the show i do got to cut out right at the top of the hour um were there any other topics we could go look at some financial numbers if you want nothing much i will say bitcoin ate it a bit today on the other hand gold and silver back up to near all-time highs yeah i was i'd be interested what your thoughts on the missing and probably forever missing month of economic data will do to the uh bankster economic economists i mean what are they going to say about that

when everything crashes they could blame it uh for sure like you know well we couldn't see this or we had to do all these adjustments but it is just one month and this that's a very small blip on the radar so any i would expect any excuses or cover or just that excuses that they didn't get something done or they made mistakes that's if i actually trusted them to do try to do the work correctly since i don't then it'll definitely be you know propaganda suppressing fire yeah Carolyn Levitt from the podium in the White House straight up there's there won't ever be in October 2025 because the Democrats shut it down like it's just a point right

it's just a driving it right into the point of Democrat Wall Street that that's what that's what that's what you get right of course they can lap over the data it's not going to really hurt them in the long run but my god they're going to talk about it on bloomberg radio for at least 90 days i can be sure yikes yikes uh i will say from the economic point of view we're starting to see some piling up of layoffs and some of them are being blamed or depends how you look at it blamed or credited to advanced technology. i.e. AI or some sort of use of AI. UPS, Amazon are some big names, but some smaller ones as well have had some not definitely not number crushing huge layoff numbers, nothing even

close to COVID, but this trickle could turn into a stream and could turn into a torrent. Lots of folks, including Elon Musk, are saying, yeah, five years from now, a lot of jobs are going be at least transformed and a lot of folks will not have the skills or uh drive to try to catch this train i myself try to kick myself in the ass get on the a i train as much as possible without becoming a robot myself but has that worked has it worked i don't know i got to dedicate more time i do got to buckle down so it's i've already made some leaps more more i'm at this phase where I'm like now I really understand what I don't know anything which is disheartening but you got to hit the bottom before you rise up right something like that so instead of

being a little pansy you'd be like man I don't like this stuff whatever no that's that's not good um but you have a profession you've talked about your profession before and you shared with me somebody else's ex post about you know that agreed with something that I had said independently to you earlier this week, which is, you know, if you're using artificial intelligence on a topic that you don't fundamentally understand in the first place, you're, you're going to get mistakes that you won't know if it's a mistake. And it'll discredit you. But if you're an expert in a field, you can now do, I wouldn't say necessarily things

faster. Everybody's going to chase AI makes us faster or AI makes it so we could do it with less. But then there's the whole other side. AI can take everything to a higher quality level. But only with a person who's an expert using it. So if you're out there and you're hearing rumblings that some of what you do could be replaced by AI, just remember if you're an absolute expert and practice your craft you know what you do you know it well you know how it functions you AI is a multiplier to that it's not going to it's not going to replace you yeah for information not just processing but actually using it and explaining it to others you better not fully just rely on the AI or you're going to be talking out your ass and

say something's totally wrong and you're going to build an entire premise around around a hallucination you didn't even pick up on you can't go ahead go ahead you got to like a tool and you go back and forth and back and forth you know everybody knows from the beginning of these chat bots that they were you know completely based on their training these things don't arrive like as you know having the ability to know everything in your mind right if you can't tell it what you want, you're not going to get what you want, but if you're an expert in your field, you can learn how to tell it what you want, right? There's still just so, so, so many activities, business activities that, you know, are going to require, you know, humans,

you know, negotiating, really. Machines aren't anywhere near ready to negotiate with each other, especially not, you know, the terms of contracts. So no one being an expert in a field, it's going to be lifetimes before we're at the super AI intelligence of, you know, some Hollywood movie, right? This is just the opening dawn to that dystopia, but it's not a dystopia now, not at all. No, and as you said, saving time, it depends how complicated the task and how repeatable your task is if it's super basic and you do

the same exact thing with very little variation or rules then it will save time and potentially outsource your job just like anything that's very simple and can be either by a machine or now AI but if

you mostly operate in the gray area between you know between the words of a contract or a policy pretty much what lawyers do. AI can write

some great dissertations and opinions on law, but they're not going to truly be able to argue yet. But they're going to replace a lot of paralegals, and here's what I'm a little concerned about. There's always dislocation in job markets

and retraining and new generations come up, and that's all good. But I feel like entry-level jobs are going to be cut out at the knees before AI is ready for those higher level jobs. So those people just getting into some of these fields, let's just say, the next five, 10 years, i.e. those that are teenagers now going

through school, going to enter the workforce, it's going to be real hard to do the, you know, the analyst type of work or equivalent entry level that you use to learn other stuff at the same time. Like, they're not going to need your ass because they got AI to do that already. I'm not sure. I'm not sure you're right. I think that there's going to be some tasks that take a certain level of subject matter expertise, human subject matter expertise. And instead of paying somebody 40 year old, 40 year old to do it, you can pay a 21 year old to do it because the workflows have been established. Still need a human in the loop, but you don't need one. It's been there 20 years. I can see where maybe get rid of the 60 year old and keep the 40 year old,

but I don't know about the 20-year-old. You've seen the 20-year-olds these days? No, I'm just kidding. Hmm, we can talk about this all day. I do got to get out here in a few minutes. I wanted to say, Walton, how about this? I meant to ask this earlier. Totally switching gears.

James Walton wrote in the chat. I want to know what's going on with Venezuela. To me, it looks like China and Central America. And then I would add on to that. Is this, you know, about the drug war? Is this about money laundering? Is this about immigration? is it all the above and china what's your take uh i think it's a thing it's about cuba cuba's a fact

cuba's control over over you know several of those states cuban intelligence cuban you know um covert forces where they are and what they're doing and you know that that'd be interesting to know they're out of the press right now but you know chavez regime wouldn't have existed without about Cuba. And Cuba's, you know, certainly got relations with China, right? So I will, they're using very, you know, novel interpretations of, you know, the use of power on the high seeds. But if you go back to the beginning of the Republic, you know, warfare happens on the seas without necessarily states being at war right especially privateers drugboats cartels you know pirates going after them is always navies have always done that without a declaration of war so bringing that amount of force down there

putting it right in the face of venez well i think i think trump's trying to see if you know they'll just fold either that or we're going to have covert war in central america and it's going to be unconstitutional warfare from what you've seen well articles and headlines have come through saying more and more has been put into the region i believe the ford gerald ford carrier group no closer um is there a window of opportunity where they must strike or could the u.s just kind of hang out there indefinitely and siege them essentially oh my god we could sit there forever those ships could just rotate back to any port on the Gulf Coast and now it's up up to Norfolk just rotate them out like everybody's going to sail down there and just be ready take turns on the East Coast now

there's no there's no nothing that's going to force any of this it's available sure from Maduro's point of view though he has to believe it's possible at any moment constantly right And from Trump's perspective, he may never have to do it at all because Maduro has to worry about it that way. Right. Especially if it's, well, we've talked about China and Taiwan. There's only certain times of the years that the sea, you know, the tides and the way that the beaches are really allows for landing, etc., etc. But that does not apply here at all. And it's...

One of those marine expeditionary forces could cut us. slice into Caracas and seize the presidential, you know, all of the government in, you know, buildings, oh boy, they, they wouldn't defend that for 24 hours. The overmatch would be insane. I'm absolutely not in favor of this happening, but our military capability in the Caribbean versus Venezuela, it would be like that. Eight hours, probably. I would she's not all the gold in the world

all the bitcoin in the world ain't good of you freaking splattered all right that's about it I think for this episode for the record go ahead for the record I'd love to see the Maduro regime collapse it's been awful with Chavez

as a predecessor for that country the country used to be a jewel of South America one of the wealthiest countries you know, within my lifetime, right? Within your lifetime, it was still well off. Corrupt, you know, had military governments through the 50s and whatnot. It was a Latin American state, but it was doing pretty well.

And under the current regime in Venezuela, it's been a tragedy, right? If you look at a lot of ethnic groups that have flowed in the United States and, you know, have some sort of resentment that, you know, they're here and not in their home country. But like the Cubans after Castro got Cuba, the Venezuelans that came to the United States after Chavez, let's just say, you know, we're talking about victims of communism. They're usually not fans of more communism here in America, which is makes me a natural friend of them in that regard as a Patriots. Let's concentrate on what we got in common. Dan, it's been another great show. Yeah, it has been.
