Statement of purpose. Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? You decide your own level of involvement. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. I don't know. I'm going to be able to be able to

I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to I'm going I'm going I'm going You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence.

introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of of Future Danger.com. Patriot Power Hour. We are live, November 19th, 2025, episode 326, Ben the Breaker of Banksters here with Future Dan. Future Dan, what's going on tonight? Hey, we got Thanksgiving coming up, so for you and our audience, thanks for listening, but for you and our audience, happy thanks. Thanksgiving just so we don't run out of time on that one.

I think we're going to be live next week. We haven't discussed that. But next week is Thanksgiving. Time's flown. Before you know, it'll be Christmas. Before we know it, 2026, we'll be doing our recap show and then our 2026 prediction show. Pretty crazy. Yeah, maybe, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday we can get one more Patriot Power in.

Just in case, have Thanksgiving early. hey never too early to give some thanks and i'm looking right now at our screen share some memes and some iconography and paintings of revolutionary war always thankful for those who came before us the real patriots we can't squander that so that's what we're here on patriot power hour for to kind of carry that forward through our generation because we got some trying times definitely unique we also have looks like the Epstein files coming out

future Dan and Polly Market is confirming that based off the percentages Trump's signing it either today or tomorrow so that doesn't release anything not not right away I'm not sure people what's the terms on Polly

market for the devil's in the details right is that a Is that a yes-no bet on whether Congress votes to release or the real release? I'm looking right now where it says, this is important nuance. When will Trump sign the Epstein Disclosure Bill into law? 19% says today, the 19th of November, 66% chance November 20th. So that doesn't equal 100% by any means, but it seems possible tonight.

probable, very probable tomorrow. It's going to be signed into law. What does that mean, though, of course, is the question. So there's other laws that allow Bondi to redact. So that's the big fear for Democrats, is that everything will be redacted except for the Democrat names. Right. And it might take them a little while to do that. Might take a little while.

Well, it's already been taking quite a while. as we've talked about on this show ad nauseum uh these files could have been manipulated massively in the last dozen years it's hard to trust them but certainly big news tonight uh i don't think we'll talk much more about it though unless you have other stuff to talk about what share of the total uh records is is classified right because this this bill doesn't authorize this bill can't can't de-classify classified information federal branch that does that and we wouldn't know as people on outside would we wouldn't know what exactly that they exist we what's classified what actually exists what's no that's the point it's a secret probably top secret that's the i

Right. Therefore, can't trust any of this, whether it's partial release and or disinfo, biased, played around with, if anything even comes out. Oh, there's going to be, you know, perspectives on the truth will be there. And there are the, you know, the women exploited, the girls exploited by Epstein, right? They're out there. they any one of them could choose to speak up right right after that's released so this is by no means nothing but i'm pretty sure it's by no means everything either right it's the more in between yo most everything is in between it makes life interesting to say the least far with forge in the chat what day is it is wednesday we've been We've been using our prerogative to have a flexible Patriot Power hour in the fourth quarter here at 2025. Today's Wednesday.

We've been live on Tuesdays and on Thursdays. Keep you on your toes, Firewolf, but you show up. I love it. We were just saying, actually, a little bit of a plug for the network. I know James and Trep and Commander always has Prepper Black Friday Cyber Friday Cyber. Monday collection of deals some of them have affiliate links which help the network some don't but i you know a little hit for the listeners next week i'm going to have a nice new microphone setup should really improve i found myself a little black friday deal and i'm looking forward to perusing yes i

did and i'm looking forward to perusing james's prepper black friday deals especially i'm looking for Made in America Black Friday deals, not Chineseium as you call it. I don't know if you coined that term, but you use it often and it's true. Chineseium. I'm not looking to support Made in China stuff, but for

my microphone setup, they don't really make that here in America. So what can I say? So you caught a tariff for your Chineseium? Yeah. But you know what? It was pretty darn cheap still. So, you know, the Chinese is marked up 10x so if the tariffs come up

they can still just cut it down to a 5x mark up and still make off like bandits and no price increase on some of these white widgets and gadgets not true for everything of course but so you'll settle for how much of a lifespan out of that piece of equipment

for the price you paid and say all right I accept that deal how long does that gotta last? Yep I have a whole equation in my head essentially. Depreciate at, you know, $100 a year, and the piece of equipment is only about $100 bucks.

So if it does exactly what I needed to do at the quality I needed to do for one year and it lasts one year, it'll meet its purpose. Now, I expect and hope it exceeds it to three, four, five years. Don't tell them my opinion that I'm okay with one year. right so oh man your standards are i got to say i just got to say it's not going to sound nice your standard's too low we should we should have better stuff in the market than you know some chinese junk that last one year and you got to buy it again well a lot of things i do buy i research get the higher quality pay a little more and it lasts a lot longer than a year i

expect three years i'm hopeful for five years really but one year is like the minimum break-even. And the way I kind of calculate that is for the quality increase I'm hoping for, I would pay at least $2 per episode of Patriot Power Hour, and that would be about $100 a year. So if it was a, you know, subscription service and I had to pay two extra dollars

to get my sound quality up a little bit, I would pay it. And that's what this part will do, hopefully. See, I grew up, you know, know a decade and a half earlier than you and none of that sounds good to me i i would expect it all to last much much longer and and in fact i say that because until we exported our electronics industry entirely to china it was like that and japanese products are are still better and you know used to be that way too i'm talking about car audio all your home uh audio systems everything that

you know, and even today, like, you still don't pay top dollar from computers and expect them to die that fast, right? But, but it's, it's gotten just, my standards have been blown away since the last 25, 30 years, and I'm never going to come to terms with it. Well, I certainly get that. Might as well just unveil the curtain. I could spend $500 on a brand new soundboard that would fix this problem. and better last five years or I can spend $50 on two inline microphone boosters which will allow me

to just get better volume and subsequently better or less loss of fidelity which means better quality and so I went the $100 route hoping it works you know that's a risk but I'm I'm more worried about buying the $500 thing and it breaks in a couple of years. So in a way, I'm so scared of things breaking that I'm taking the cheaper route that it probably will break sooner than the big purchase that I fear will break. And you'd never use your time for these $100 devices. If they had a warranty that you could even apply and the organization was even a named company that didn't change or.

right simply exist just to sell that product and then disappear right would you even expend your time to try to exercise a warranty what if they come out of the box dead not working you'll return them then right that absolutely i will and within the first year i would try to claim that warranty after the year it'd be tough i'll say that you could go to like a sweet water if anyone's an audio person into audio Sweetwater is a really reputable and great customer service, great

returns, but very expensive, very expensive, but, you get what you pay for, and I'm sort of kind of going the cheap route, because I'm hoping in a, I'm also hoping in a couple years, then I can really go for the big great, you know,

$500, $800 set up. But anyway, Firewood Forge says he's got an audio guy if I want suggestions so I've been cranking through AI using this as one test case to really get deep into AI and it's it's uh it's been eye opening and anyway our story short looking forward to that what if we what if we elevate this from the practical yeah there's a philosophical do it there's no warranty for anything you're buying electronic over over over one year, you know, and the computers, you buy them and you have to pay for a warranty that goes

beyond one year, right? Sure. So I think that's set by federal law. Could be wrong on that, but I think either that or there's so many states that have a one-year warranty that the easiest thing for them to do is just make it blanket. What about government interfering in the marketplace, raising that to two to three? three. Are you in favor of that? No. No. I would much prefer a free market to sort out the different tiers of equipment.

You could either because you don't have that much money, right, the budget case, or you just don't mind the throwaway for a little cheaper now. Having that option available is not the end of the world. But here's where it gets into the tariffs and national security aspect is, okay. you know it'd be one thing if some of these were made in america or some were made by our allies but almost all the crap especially the crappy crap is made in uh in china some of it's made in vietnam or the better stuff's made in south korea and taiwan so in a way if you spend more at least you know it's not all going to china but still it's uh you know the i want more options But the options are restricted artificially by China flooding the market, having all types of lack of regulations, which you could argue, we should have the lack of some of those regulations.

But it's not fair competition, if what I'm saying. I want more fair competition, not less. Yeah, yeah, I agree not interfering in the marketplace. It's the right answer. And it's just one of those things where eventually we might see tears to this sort of thing and there's a robust made in America production that isn't just absolute trash to fill landfills to use scarce metals and materials just to just to immediately get buried again and probably be, you know, far less recoverable because it's been manufactured once and buried, right? some tier of American-made goods that, you know, do have, you know, you may pay five to eight times the price, but comes to the 10-year warranty, right? I would absolutely prefer having that 10-year horizon and paying 7 or 8x for something that I was. But the warranty, I want the warranty to be the word of mouth and actually standing behind it, not necessarily just a signed contract because they could try to squirm out of that.

right I'm an insurance guy all they would try to do is squirm out of the warranty so that's fine I do want a warranty but I also want them to actually believe their stuff will last that long hard to build that trust though and hard to be profitable putting out a 10 year warranty yeah if you didn't build something that very very very rarely needed to be returned on warranty right that'd be the solution yep no absolutely right flipping this all to prepping and prepper broadcasting network which patriot power hour is very happy and proud to be part of well i think it's a great time to add to your preps but keep all this in mind whether it's a leatherman or a knockoff a leatherman right or firearms or all types of

stuff i mean the amount of crappy optics for firearm out there is crazy i would never buy an optic like budget optic type of thing right so i i don't know just same with a lot of different prepping tools and a lot of things yeah well there are industries there are you know tools weapons you know vehicles in some places and some types you know and obviously you know made in america when it comes to major defense weapons systems is built at a high high quality it's just the consumer stuff like boosters for your headphones and stuff it's like we get we got no alternatives we're stuck with the chineseian whether we wanted or not there's no way there's no even bringing that forward in the marketplace and i i agree with not interfering with it not using any

kind of government power to interfere with it it has to come from the other side the private side right the the demand side has to say hey i demand you know things offered at a higher quality I have a little challenge, so it's not Black Friday quite yet and all that crap, which kind of is hyped up, but we're not even going to get into that. But we are expected to have a show next week, but a lot of the sales are starting this weekend, blah, blah, blah. I challenge Prepper Broadcasting Network audience, hosts as well. When you're doing your prepper type shopping, practice using AI, whether it's Chad GPT or another one that you like. to do some market research, but also to put together your analysis, put together tables, put together historical price charts,

just play around with the AI, see what it can do, and it's unbelievable what it can do. It also will be able to help you find evidence that something's made in America or perhaps 50% made in America instead of 0% could be better than its competitor. My point is, you don't need to go to 10 different. shopping sites anymore. You don't need to go read a bunch of Reddit threats. Chad GPT is perfect for

hunting for a particular product. And then it's even pretty good for finding some of those deals, although I think James's collection of prepper gear and deals will still be better. AIs after you though, James. So keep your edge in a few years

it might try to surpass you. So there you go. What's in the news besides Epstein that we care to talk about on this show. You want to hit the newsblitz or you want to go to break? I think of newsblitz. What do you say?

Yeah, I think blitz in the dashboard might be the answer to the question. Because there is a lot. So let me go ahead and, you know what? It's going to take me about 20 seconds to pivot. Should have been ready to pivot anyway. So I'm going to go to an ad or two real quick. First off, for those that are watching live or watching the videos later, there's a QR code on the top right

of the video. You can become a member, PBN, scan that QR code. And we're going to have a couple audio ads. We'll be right back with the newsbloods. All right for you, Dan. Let's do it. Are you prepared to be the family doctor

in a disaster or emergency? This is the intrepid commander, and I'm holding the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgey in this great book you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid you'll learn about assessment and stabilization you'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response radiation and how to build the off grid medical kit at home look 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in america get the preppers medical handbook today at amazon dot com again that's the preppers medical Handbook by William W.40. Here's my question to you. Are you really going to build that kit?

Look, it's 2025. It's time to get honest. Are you going to build out that get-home kit, that bug-out bag? Lima Tango Survival is the best value and the best quality, frankly, that I've ever seen in pre-made survival kits. Traipsing through the urban sprawl, get your hands on the gray man backpack. Outfit your vehicle with the EDC kit. bury a bugout location with the homestead kit.

Lima Tango solves your preparedness problems, okay? Visit Limatango Survival.com and find the kit that solves your problem. All right, ladies, gentlemen, time for the newsblitz. November 19th, 20, 25, 326th episode, Patriot Power Hour. Let's just go left to right tonight. night starting with a lot of news under powerful pedophiles exposed indicator as we've covered already house not only was set to vote but actually did vote and passed the epstein releasing the epstein files potis says he's all for the release of these files he's supposed

to be signing the bill either later tonight or tomorrow we'll be reporting on on this as time goes on. There's a claim that the Clintons refuse to testify before Congress on Epstein. Also, looks like Larry Summers is in some trouble with this.

I'll be keeping a particular eye on him. Of course, Treasury's Secretary for Clinton and Banks are extraordinary. Next up, President threatens to bomb Mexico and Colombia. we'll dive deeper into that article after this newsblitz get future Dan's opinion

Ford Carrier Strike Group enters the Caribbean the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group China warns Japan of attack over Taiwan a populist revolt is being questioned as the beginning of a true revolution down in Mexico.

That's the question. But this is one of the first times this has popped up recently on Patriot Power Hour. Yeah. Under the Mexico plunged into revolution indicator, it's medium grade right now, not S-H-G-F, medium-grade. under Mexico plunged into revolution. Economically, half of American homes fall in value this year, most since 2012.

October foreclosure filings jump 20% year over year. And Bitcoin's been getting beat down, dipped just under 90,000 today. Gold, just above 4,000, silver, it's just above 50 bucks. And from a nature and health perspective, not much going on. Washington resident hospitalized with a virus never before seen in humans, so that's notable news. Of course, we did have the hurricane in Jamaica, but there was no other landfall. In America, there's no, you know, USA landfall of a hurricane this year.

No major weather events, good to see. No viruses, knock on wood, we're heading into that season, though. Future day, that's the newsblitz. Where do you want to hit next? Yeah, they have seen situations dominating the news because, you know, the only other real pattern in the dashboard is military buildup and Trump comments on Central America. I think news was out today

that Maduro wants face-to-face talks with Trump officials, the dictator of Venezuela wants to talk. So that's going on. It doesn't mean any of it becomes violent or actually becomes a dangerous situation.

But it's on the radar, but other than that, everything else is pretty diverse. It is. What do you take on the first time? let's go look at it again the mexico plunged into revolution indicator we had some one article in 22 and several in 2018 and 2019 but nothing except for one article and today's article

as well there's been nothing since covid but uh what's going on in mexico this populace revolt that this just like come out of nowhere nowhere what's going on yeah it's it happens in mexico every once in a while, you know, the government gets a little bit unstable. This population gets, you know, looks like it's out of control. Some of those headlines from five, six, seven years ago are, you know, just absolute cartel war zone stuff, right? So, you know, I mean, it's Mexico. If Mexico was plunged into revolution, you know, that will affect us, right?

Just one more straw on the camel's back, right? If that country goes to failed state. Very true. Very true. But another reason to have strong industrial base here in America and the USA, because we've outsourced so much to Mexico become a little vulnerable. If they go south, pun intended, I guess, then we're relying on them for key supply chain. a problem.

Interesting to see how many people lost their jobs because of the inability to export to the United States. That won't help Mexico stay stable. No, not at all. No, it's a spiral. Maybe they're just starting to crest into the event horizon of that. But I hope, on the other hand, I'm rooting for them to shuck off the green. rip of the evil cartels and the

governments that enable them a lot of these revolutions end up with just as bad or worse people in charge but hopefully they can make something happen I'd be rooting for them doesn't mean we should fund them with hundreds of billions of dollars but yeah we're not in position to do that anymore

are we we got some chips left on the table but certainly fewer than we did let's say September 10th 2001 I think we've used a lot of our chips since then. Yeah. What else on the news dashboard, Ben?

What we want to dive into? All right. How about half of American homes fall in value, most since 2012? And this is something we'll keep watching. It's a lagging indicator. And it can take three, six. 12 months to really see trends that are worthwhile but now the interest rates have been cut if we still see foreclosures going up and prices going down even though

interest rates they haven't been cut that much but if they continue to be cut and you know 100 150 basis points by the spring compared to where they were in the beginning but we're not seeing or we're not seeing an improvement but we're actually seeing degradation of the housing market that'll be huge huge problems

because that'll mean the interest rate cuts are not working anymore so we're not there quite yet but let's see here this is out of the Daily Mail well all of what I just said is important but another really important thing to keep in mind here is

some areas are doing well, some are falling off the Grand Canyon. I mean, you've got some areas that are still seeing 5, 10% appreciation and prices year over year, but you have other places down 20, 25, 30% in the last year. So it's like the haves and have not.

So keep that in mind as well. Yeah. I have a hard time believing that the next financial crisis will originate from real estate. It could be wrong. It could be just that bad that it all happens again. And millions upon millions of people,

you know, in the financial industry, not even counting homeowners, kind of walked into another, you know, housing bubble. But when it's fragile like that and arguably never fully recovered from 2007 and 8, when a financial crisis comes, it doesn't have to be the leading problem. You know, it's, it's right to topple over if other stuff goes wrong. Yeah.

Yes. And just as we were talking about the stability of Mexico, the economy as well as just the political and social fabric of the country, teetering. Well, if housing prices go down, foreclosures go. up that's going to hurt there's always a double ed sword with prices though because if prices go down 20 or 30 percent that'll help housing affordability which will help people be able to spend their money on other things and raise families and do other stuff right so it's kind of a bastardization of housing being financialized so much in the last 20 30 years that it's all jacked up. It's not horrible

if prices go down. It's just if it goes up really fast and then down really fast and that's where real big problems come. Yeah. So we had a month of federal economic statistics go unrecorded

apparently forever. A big, big break in a data set. And of course, the president's critics are suggesting it's because the jobs picture would be, you know, even worse than what they think. I want to ask you about that missing data from the government shutdown, the data that never will be October 2025

on multiple levels, Ben, but probably, you know, chiefly, where do you think interest rates go for the rest of this year with Mr. Powell and crew, you know, lack of the economist, you know, technocratic, you know, fuel, which is the data, the data. You know, they're supposed to be data driven. How do you see this playing out? Oh, man. It'll loft it one up for me. Let's see if I could be concise.

I don't know. It'll be tough. I got a lot of things, a lot of areas I could run at. interest rates I think will continue to drop I think what I touched on a few minutes ago maybe like a hundred basis points between now and the spring is likely nothing's guaranteed they're not going to slam it down to zero

percent but they're not going to raise it any time soon and they're going to cut it a couple times pretty darn sure with the stats or the data driven fed speak how about this i got i had i went through a couple permutations while you're speaking so i'll try to remember first off if they took a month off why don't we just take off the rest of the year and just clean house refurbish the entire system update everything like we can get better numbers there's got to be a way if we've already shut it down for a little while don't we just shut it a little longer

And then I'm like, why do we stop on December 31st, 2025? Why don't we just shut it down all next year? Or why do we even need these government numbers? Would be a great question. I'm not absolutely saying we don't need them, but I'm going to, you know, why? Maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. And at a minimum, if we've already missed a month, let's just shut it down a couple more months,

re-evaluate everything, maybe scrub some old audits, dust off some old audits, see if there's any fraud in the numbers. last one to 20 years that's what i'd say wow yeah that would cause a panic that that would crash that would that house of cards would fall even you know if if if if trump even went out there and spoke you know and you know without really meaning it but suggesting it sort of the way you know if someone asked them that question just like they ask you do you plan to bomb Venezuela and Mexico. He says, I don't know. I'll see what happens, right? You know, maybe. If someone asked him, you know, let's stop, what do you say about stop collecting that financial,

those numbers for the rest of the 2006? It would be, that would be the only thing, that would be a firestorm in the news media for a solid week. Democrats would be, Wall Street would freak if Trump wanted a major sell-off before Christmas he could do that and then he comes back after you know after the holidays and says you know what

we're going to we're going to continue with the collecting of the data and pump the stock market up another 10% from there I know I gotta wonder if they've thought of this not that they've truly considered

or considering it but it's something it's something the it seems Trumpian it seems like something he would say or hint at if only for leverage or to mock Powell so be on the lookout if it happens we got some great clips right now yeah yeah dangerous playing with fire there though too dangerous he probably ain't gonna mess around it I'm not even saying he should but it is a way to burn the baxter's bad and keep him under heel maybe Think about the hypothesis and the wild lending and leveraging between funds and private, you know, those

private lenders, private credit. Think of what kind derivative sand castles. If they started to just erode, the whole thing could come down, right? Like, you, you,

among everybody I've ever spoken to is the foremost authority on saying what we got in Wall Street and in financial elites in this country is not sound it could fall apart at any time

you know prep on right right start messing around with the you know you know the economic data wow that would be yeah that'd be playing with fire he could be a big risk if he did it

because once it started to go down. No human, not the present, no one might be able to stop the falling knife, right? Sure. Well, I almost wonder if Fort Knox is a similar situation, especially if he knows that there is some missing gold or worse, some shenanigans, and he doesn't want that out there. Even if he would burn the other side worse than the Republicans or worse than MAGA, it would be so bad. It would self-sabotage to short term, and he would just get the blame by the propagandists. I don't know.

I mean, I think on Rogan, this is a great interview. If you guys didn't listen, I've mentioned a couple times, Musk on Joe Rogan a couple weeks ago. He said, if we live a simulation, it has to be the most

interesting outcomes. So, we would not be in a simulation that's boring. And it's definitely not boring here. there you go future dan is 3d reality a simulation and that actually could fit within christian doctrine that the 3d world is just simulation that god put together just saying that's not heretical to think about wow that was a whole other level right there well we can get back into the news we got about 10 minutes left where you want to go i got i got there was a bit of a comic moment in your portrayal of the heat map dashboard tonight.

All right. Now, when you announced, when you announced very little's going on in the natural and medical column, and then the one headline is like, it might be clickbait. We got to check it out, but a bird flu that's never been in people is, is probably the scariest headline we got tonight.

Well, hopefully, I certainly don't want to jinks anything. thing and sometimes I bet at that, but you're right. It was low grade, but the potential tail risk is huge. A Washington State resident has been hospitalized and is severely ill with the strain of virus that was never before confirmed in humans. As he said, this is a strain of bird flu, and Gray's Harbor County, 100 miles west of Seattle, before being transferred to an unnamed hospital in King County in Seattle

for specialist care H5N5 previously detected in animals but never before recorded in humans. Is this making big news anywhere else or was it pretty

deep in your search before you could find this? I don't know you saw it today could be the first instance of something that gets really terrible H5N5 is going to be an easy one to remember if it's if it's something but this happens right this happens naturally you know it could happen naturally beyond anybody's control some some disease jumped in from animal to man and we got the infrastructure to observe it

now better than ever before so you believe this is true well we did document from start to finish COVID starting off with this odd coronavirus all the way through the vaccine and beyond hopefully this will not turn into anything even close to that we'll keep an eye Dave Jones always talks about

how he's he and his family are prepared to bug in for months and months on end I think he said six weeks is what they made it without leaving into town during COVID and they could have gone longer but he's been prepping ever since to double triple that time maybe just indefinitely hey at a minimum prep on so you don't have to leave for a couple months if this is serious down the line that's always a good goal I think

a month of power outages is a good goal for a prepper and you know be able to bug in for one month with no power that's as bad or worse than this virus I guess except for you know dealing with patient you know patients within your home or people who come down with this that's a whole other route there future Dan but um this is the only case we've seen though like if you see a second or a third that'll really ring a larbells right oh future Dan you we got you back no problem I jumped backstage

but I'm back on the stage yeah 50 nothing it's been a lot of other mystery diseases that hit the heat map dashboard that went nowhere and came nothing

right and then there was mystery virus out of Wuhan China in late 2019 that made history so always trying to catch she's up front

and gonna keep an eye on it might be nothing might be something anything else to hit on tonight how about i just hit on bitcoin let's go take a quick look see is it the right time to buy would you say let it let it drop a little bit more i have just started buying a little bit in the last uh let's take a look here just a one-year chart then we'll go look at gold as well but very quick for bitcoin and this is horrible Bitcoin and gold people and silver and preppers, all everybody should get along. Even if you don't want to buy Bitcoin or you think gold is archaic.

I think both of those people are wrong, but I could get along with everybody. My point is, Bitcoin people dunk on gold. Gold people are just mocking Bitcoiners with this crash. We all agree the Fed needs to be ended. All right, let's get along during these holiday seasons. Anyway, Bitcoin right now. is at 92,000, that is off of its all-time high of $126,000, which was only

seven weeks ago. So seven weeks ago, from 125k to 90K. Ouch, that's rough feature, Dan. But I will say as recently as early May, Bitcoin was at the 93K range. So you lost five or six months of growth. growth, but it's not like you're back three years, four years. It's still quite a growth story for Bitcoin if you zoom out some. Yeah, going back to the missing data of October, you know, what is expected to be softness in the labor market. And definitely in real estate, if Wall Street got really, really wobbly, maybe sometime early next year in the winter,

in. Maybe there's a mystery blue, you know, a H5N5 scare, right? Coming up. Kick going could be from, you know, 92 to 52, temporary as things spun out of control. So my advice is have some powder dry to pick some up because it's going to bounce down there and then 135 all-time high is the next high it's going to be, you know, probably going to be surprising.

And it could happen with a matter of, oh, I don't know, 90 days, in my opinion. And you're absolutely right. I have to look zoom in so much on this chart just to get back to COVID days. But Bitcoin was at 10,000 in the end of, actually in early 2020. About the time,

We joined Prepper Broadcasting Network, February, late January, 2020, Bitcoin was 10K. Just a few months later, March, April, it was under 4K. So it lost 50 plus percent of its value in just a few months. Well, if you zoom out, you see what happened shortly thereafter. And then it just kept growing and growing it up. But anyway, let's go look at it. gold and silver, super fast. The Firewood Forge in the chat says

Bitcoin is still a Bitcoin. Yes, you're a true Bitcoiner. I agree. One Bitcoin is one Bitcoin. One Satoshi is one Satoshi. And Bears, Bullets, oh, Beans, Bullets,

Band-Aids, Bitcoin and Boolean. Yes. Firewood Forge. I love it. He's definitely on the right track. Wait, wait, wait. Run that past me again. Let's hear that again. The five bees of prepping? Yeah.

Beans. So you got your food. Air water. Throw water in there. Beans. Bullets. Band-aids. Everyone's heard those three.

But then you throw in bullion, silver and gold bollion. And Bitcoin. I love it. A very simplified, you know, method to remember. the pyramid that you announced on this show and discussed at length with James Walton. I'm trying to think of anything

it was missing from it, but that those five encompassed it got to be 90% of, I got to try to think of some examples outside the food and water. I mean, I guess shelter is part, but you know.

You know what Walton would put in there his body, taking care of your body. There you go. The six Bs. Definitely your body, physical fitness. And you can throw mental and physical into your body. I love it. I love it. That's totally true. Yep. Body and brains. You have brains, skills, training, knowledge.

Yep. This part of the pyramid, too. So we've distilled that nouns to start with B tonight. What else do you are? We're crushing it. um well i just got an ad here on the trading desk but looking at gold 4100 silver 51 still holding quite strong the japanese yen has not absolutely collapsed as it looked like it might a few months ago it's still in a precarious position there in japan they call it not just the lost decade now it's almost three lost decades. It's just kind of

running on a treadmill over there. You know, why? Because they do not have the reserve currency. That's the tiebreaker. That's what makes a difference. That's why America still has a decent, you know, pretty high, standard of living. But without the reserve currency,

we'll fall. And it could be pretty rough. There's a debate philosophically there, too, right? We have it. Obviously, Bretton Woods ended World War II on top and held it. By the early 70s came off the gold standard, things, you know, overspending, started getting trouble.

And obviously what's happened in this century with the debt has weakened our position. But isn't it like, you know, you don't have to be the fastest guy when the bear's chasing. You just have to be faster than everybody else, right? So, or at least a few others, you know, we, we, we, we stay ahead of governments with much, much, much worse, you know, monetary ratios, don't we? I would say yes, but at a slower, uh, improvement or maybe more like the gap between us and a third world crap hole is narrowing, but we still, you know, we're still certainly superior in all. actual financial regards, whether it's GDP ratios to debt and tax base, and actually, you know, we still do produce a lot of stuff here. Manufacturer and otherwise is just, it's decreasing at a bad rate.

And here, the last thought there is, yeah, if you're just being compared to other countries, you don't, as long as you're not the slowest gazelle, you won't be eaten by the lion as much. but when you got bitcoin and gold and silver and other commodities whether it's energy or other rare earth minerals etc those don't really care if you're the reserve currency the scarcity of those materials remains pretty much the same and they stay constant it's your currency that devalies against them is kind of what's going to happen and it has happened and will continue to happen you got to factor in the explosion of knowledge available to everybody now with artificial intelligence. The boundaries of lawyers got to know this and got to say this because they did three

years of law school, doctors, this and that, and every other profession out there. Every professor could be fact-checked and, you know, you can, you can learn a universe of information around the smallest, minutest details now. this is an entirely new age. What do you think of the AI investment boom right now? Here you go. I mean, the simplest analogy may not apply, but it's right in front of us.

It's the dot-com bubble of 2000, where there was huge loss of capital. A lot of people went bust. A lot of bad stuff happened. But do you think the internet stopped? growing and no the internet didn't even get started until after the 2000 bubble like honestly the internet didn't even hit its stride till like 2010 when like most of the world was plugged in using it for most activities of course it was available in the 90s or even earlier if you had certain

you know knew how to access it but yeah so AI same way it's just going to grow in a crazy amount in terms of where to invest and if it's a financial bubble man it's some of these companies have like a hundred a PE ratio price to earnings ratio of like a hundred or more with most companies are like 18 or 20 what does that mean they're just they don't actually make revenue or profit that they need to in order to support their prices it's all what are they going to do in the future so for the industry as a whole I think it's going to be super valuable in the future but I have no idea where to where to place your bets I'm looking at like several other

strategic resources strategic industries that the United States has dominated in last hundred years dominating this dominating AI means that the greenback and central banking and the Federal Reserve are are bound to continue as they are to the rest of your life because of the growth engine that the AI boom will be and there may be overinvestment now

malinvestment but the infrastructure that will be left older and the knowledge base all the jobs that are going to be involved in building and running data centers and coding for applications that exploit artificial intelligence

that'll get laid in I got to believe it's going to be laid into the world like the earliest days of the steam engine railroad were laid into Great Britain first and the benefit from that that could be multi-generational the only other potential competitor would be China right that has the size and the power

literal electrical power wherewithal are they the only ones that are like in the punching weight right i don't think i don't think i don't think russia is are they well that's the question i don't know can you test my premise what what what haven't they copied or stolen from us they got stealth jets now during obama's term those f35 plans are stolen by them to get it they got hypersonics now those are taken what do they got that they ever came up with directly that came dominant well when it got to Europe it got a whole lot more lethal so I don't see it well that's that's dangerous

but I get where you're coming from but all they would need is 80% of the quality but five times as much computing power even if it's half as effective but they got five times as much that could be a threat so I would not underestimate them KPI on the micro-nuclear space, right? It would probably get banned if Trump's party lost power. It probably gets so regulated that it would be unable to be enacted, but there's a window of opportunity to roll out, you know, basically nukes on trucks in clusters that are entirely independent of the grid

that would tower the AI revolution. It's going to take that much electricity. And by the way, when you're suggesting that folks go out there and do some kind of Black Friday analysis with AI, it definitely depends on how many tokens you're paying for. If you're using freeware, free AI right now, I bet you a free AI a year from now is barely usable and highly mistrusted because it's free. Right? It's just a teaser. You got to pay for the tokens.

and ultimately those tokens come down to you know costs in in in electricity yeah and well I'm a little biased because I haven't used too much free AI most AI have used has had some amount of cost to it which is a more premium version maybe not the most premium but even that I'm surprised I'm surprised how much you can get out of let's just call it the $20 a month version you can get so much out of it where i don't know it's almost not a cost at all but you got to wonder okay if it's almost free if you use it daily then why is it almost free because it takes it costs electricity cost power etc well a good portion is because you are the product or more like their data mining and

and mapping you, the human, into their AI systems. So they're happy to give it to you at a discount. You're a free tester. Yeah, beta tester or even a true live tester. Yeah, exactly. Interfacing with large language models is going to be a matter of constantly being a two-way interaction. It needs the user to correct it as much as, you know, we need the information from it.

That's not going to change. That's not going to change. To make it more affordable, they're going to lean more and more on the people using it to, you know, go through it, correct it and correct it. I see it. I use chat GPT during the workday and at nights on weekends. During your standard workday, the quality is lower. You're not getting the same output because so many people are trying to hit it at the same time.

Right. So I'm just, I think this is the golden age of being able to use these subscription services once everybody, everybody out there who hasn't touched any of this yet, once they start using it or maybe they never do. But certainly their children and their children's children will, you know, once the demand is as high, think about smartphones in the 2002 time frame. 2002-2003 right I'm talking blackberries were just starting there were no iPhones right the the personal digital assistant and the cell phone had just merged like computers and phones had just truly merged for the at the beginning I was there I had devices that were some of the first ones and later when massive massive amounts of people all wanted smartphones it all changed

and some of the stuff you could do in the early years got severely limited or controlled monetized by whoever was providing it. AI right now won't be the way it is in the future but neither will our power grid if we roll out the technology

could make our power grid the potential for the grid going down so so so much less of a threat than we've been living under oh that's a huge point very true the knock-on effects of having a huge base load for power that could be shunted to other areas if there's a disaster in certain areas as well as just the resiliency and redundancy built into the grid is big part of it that's in fact a selling point of bitcoin as well especially in rural areas where let's just call old uh rural oil wells and gas wells that just burn off gas just because they have to and get no value out of it. You could make, you know, several thousand dollars with a Bitcoin a week instead.

But this is a whole other level of the entire AI infrastructure helping. So that's the solid case for AI. I'm definitely, well, hoping, but also pressing and pushing for a lot. Terminator outcome. There are dangers, but there's tons of good things. And we've got to be on the forefront, like you said. Some of these guys, Musk,

what's his face at Facebook, you know, they're young enough. They can become trillionaires. Like, that's how big this is going to be. Farwell 4 says they are learning us. I mean, the AI is learning us. Yes.

I was going to use the analogy of Netflix. When Netflix first came out, you got super cheap, pretty much unlimited. You can share your account with everybody. Now it's way more expensive. They locked it down. They don't have as many good movies and shows. And now there's 20 streaming services. And you're paying more than you used to for, you know, more than your old cable bill for less stuff compared to like 15 years ago.

So you think AI may head that direction, huh? so get it in while you can yeah or be prepared to pay you know if you're used to using it at a low price it you know high high high super high quality output is gonna be there you just you're just gonna have to pay for it how you can do that anonymously well I don't know you get getting in law to sign up with an account and give you them if you have some you have some Bitcoin that does not have Know Your Customer Association.

You could easily pay for it anonymously, but I digress. Got to get out of here pretty soon. Anything else you want to hit on? I do have Polymarket up. Do you know if Polymarket is going to be live anytime soon? And yeah,

anything else you want to hit on? I don't know. Run a prompt. What the AI tell us? What you hit it right now? Live. Funny enough. Funny enough, the Polly Market for Will Polly Market Go Live in 2025?

We already searched that in a previous show. It's up to 82%. Like just a week ago, it was 74% because the government shut down. Obviously, that's over. I could go prompt my Chad GBT, but no point doing that right now. I think this kind of tells the answer that.

It seems very likely. Check out what Polly Market's saying, though. They might have had an update. They may have made an announcement. They might have gone radio silent. Now, I'm a little curious now. In terms of if they've announced something on their X or you want me to go check Chatsy?

Has the company made any announcement about its plans to be legal in the U.S.? The last time I checked this, the excuse was the government was shut so it couldn't get It's stuff, you know, but, you know, talk about a disruptive technology. Democrats do do not want this. Political parties, political pollsters, political lobbyists, they do not want this because it shows the truth of what's about to happen in elections and they lose their pushpole propaganda adju propped advantage. That's why, you know, obviously under Biden, there was no polymarket in the United States.

some prompt in chat GPD right now about the polymarket we'll see what that comes up with in the meantime Fed decision in December there has been a big change here let's take a look no change in the interest rates has spiked from 45% to 65% recently

because they don't got the data I mean that's a great excuse that's their excuse it definitely could be used for that in the short term and that probably is added a little bit to the Bitcoin fall next May couldn't come fast enough for Jerome Powell he's got a one out of there let's look at this December 10th

so a few weeks till the next Fed meeting December 10th January 28th will be a meeting and we have March 18th and we have April 29th so one, two, three, four more meetings for Powell you know, seems like, based off the stats I'm seeing they're only expected maybe one cut

in the next four meetings when previously they were thinking two or three cuts or maybe like I said 100 basis points in total Yeah, that's been cut down now in the markets and the market. I would never bet more than the next event.

So much could change all of that so fast. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's the only thing to expect is the unexpected sometimes in this world. Definitely, if you got money on it, you can

take that to the bank. Let's see. a chat. Good old chat GPT. That's the model I've been using. Hey, I got a question for you. I heard some advice that you should just pick one model and use that for a while, really go in depth with whether it's GROC, chat GPT, Gemini, whatever. Do you agree with that or do you think you should try out a few different ones? I use several different ones every day. Okay. Yeah. No, I don't certain reasons or you kind of like cycle them or I only subscribe to the open AI, but the other ones if they're free and they're available and sometimes I launch like a prompt that takes

some research and chat cheap he's trying to you know source the articles source the data get it right I might jump on to co-pilot and ask some dumb question that I know it can easily answer right so I might I might do you know something personal on my phone and just because I'm in Twitter or or x i'll just use rock because it's connected right whatever's whatever's nearby i might use real interesting uh going back to rogan and musk must said they must have competing a i's and a lot of them and that makes sense we want free market in technology and markets you know i mean um here we go latest on polymarket let's see i've vetted this and there is a lot i should tell chat gbt to summarize.

What I'm going to say, it's got, gave me a lot of great info, but this is the really cool thing. You can just be like, you know what? Summarize this in four sentences for a podcast. Yeah, yeah. Because most of that, it was just thinking out loud, right? Yes. I do the follow-up summary and then skip reading the deep analysis all the time. I love to read the deep analysis, but I always have time, and I definitely,

don't have time right now to pour through that and try to cut through it so i need there is some factor of trust that and i really have trust problems with my data and information but slowly but surely trusting but needing to verify which is fine by me here we go polymarket this is the summary polymarket is moving toward a full u.s launch after acquire acquiring a regulated derivatives exchange and receiving a green light from the cf tc To begin onboarding American users, it's in a limited beta phase, but the approval marks a major shift. Really, the big question now revolves around state-by-state regulations, and if this will be classified as a prediction market versus gambling, that's where it's sticking. They got sued by New York or something like that, Massachusetts, California.

Democrat states trying to put a stop to this. I'm making the call tonight and that's not based on any headline I'm guessing that as soon as they got the green light, a bunch of lawsuits landed that they aren't willing to talk about now

and they're negotiating their way around them but the fact that political polling can nakedly betray the lies that are propagated in the mainstream media right? Both times Trump was supposed to have lost the election and we were

getting told this by massive mainstream sources all the way up to the polls closing, yet he won, right? They don't want polymarket. They're going to do anything they can do to stop it, even if it's just for one more

election. Prompting chat GPT with just a couple others. We're not going to have PPH turn into a only polymarketing chat GPT AI discussion. But it is is a tool we

really want to use. Here we go. New Jersey, Nevada. I wonder why Nevada. Maryland. So New Jersey, Democrat hotbed. Maryland, Democrat hotbed. Nevada. Hive of scum and villainy for the gamblers. And Ohio. Ohio.

So this is what, again, chat sheet, PT predicts or how I prompted it. It came back with these four states as perhaps being some of the early or big troublemakers getting it nationally approved. Makes sense, though. Yeah, we're going to get to a point where you can bet on football games to the point of madness of all the most minute details of a special sports game, but who's going to win the next election will be banned.

Oh, exactly, exactly. And it's political reasons, not just that they can rig the sports a little easier. It's a power loss, massive power loss. The push-polling, the tactics, especially since the 90s, of trying to put positions out there, make them seem as though most people hold those positions and to scourge and make your pessimistic opponents stay home and not vote. You know, what's the use of voting?

Everybody already thinks X. When it was never true, it was just propaganda. Bolly market stripped that clean. Put your money on there and put your money where your mouth is. And, you know, the truth does tend to show when money's on the line, right? Yes. One final caveat for now on this, though, is there's not much volume. Some of these bets on Polly Market only have like two or three million dollars.

So the George Soros of the world could open up their, you know, get some change out of their couch cushion and sway these markets with false bets. If, you know, that would really, you know, that propaganda effect of swaying Polly Market and affecting podcasts and people's morale and opinions, I don't know, that seems very valuable to me. Well, let's bring it back to the game stock. issue. If somebody like that tried to push a polymarket, say after it's legal in the United States, somebody tried to influence the outcome and drop a bunch of money in there, I think that the crowd, the wisdom of the crowd would rise up. And for no other purpose other than sport, go and bet against that to make somebody else really, really pay the price. Call the bluff.

yeah tall the bluff that's what we would be doing that's what we will be doing once this gets all squared away uh 2026 goals got a lot of good goals but i think for tonight we've accomplished a good episode 326 anything else he wanted to hit on last chance take it to our audience and again early happy thanksgiving we'll see what we do might be tuesday might be wednesday might not be news worthy of a picture of our hour hour but In either event, we're going to come back in December and get some work done first three weeks of December. It could be always times to really pay attention whether things go sideways into the holidays. We're definitely not cheering for that. We're on Patriot Power because we're working to help avoid that. So a pleasure doing the show again with you, Ben, episode 326 in the books. Great show. See you guys later.

I'm gonnae. I don't know. So, you know, and
