The other prepper broadcasting network. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence introducing your hosts ben the breaker of banksters and future dan the editor of future danger dot com patriot power hour we are live episode 328 it's the fourth day of december 2025 ben the breaker banksters here with future dan we're back on a thursday our semi new night after Thanksgiving what's going on then well we got the newsblitz of course we have the rush to the end of the year but you know one thing I've been trying all week to do

and talking with you about a lot is Polly Market we haven't been able to crack into that yet but I say we still go through a couple of the the bets the selections we were looking at even though we don't have an account yet. So that's on the docket. I know you have a topic you want to get into, some constitutionality of the executive branch, for example. So we can go through that all. Firewood Forge, what's happening, man?

Audio good. Nice. We did an audio check. And I got my little booster inline mic booster. Black Friday time. Let's go, baby. Let's go. Seems to be helping.

I guess so I just jinxed it but he says it's go it's good there you know what's awesome that happened in the last week have you spotted the prepper broadcasting network catalog, Christmas catalog online Christmas catalog? Yes

there's been a few iterations in multiple years as well so I saw about this time last week on Thanksgiving is when I last looked at it but there's been new new additions even maybe since black friday i think they're adding to it almost like a you know ongoing basis but why do you ask it's big now it's big i might have just a few pages in years past but it's it's solid i want to ask you did those things from jc penny or seers

that were clothing and department store in the middle was the the section for kids with toys house because that was a big thing when i was a kid oh for sure all the way up until uh i tell us about 12 or 13 i remember sunday paper always got it for the toys russ spread around christmas it'd be way more cool stuff and of course the best buy or target or circuit city when it was around all the cool new computers and stuff so i was into that and the department store stuff too for sure the JCPenney's and Sears catalogs

not like the thousand page ones like mail in type I'm not that old but yeah I was all about that I definitely don't get any of that anymore a thousand page mailing yeah like in 1907 you could like mail away for a house

from Sears yeah no I'm not that old either but but then then the technology the internet came and the fake account like the digital catalog that looks like the page rolls that was that was very in at the beginning of the internet and james has that effect going on in the pbn catalog i love it yeah i think there's probably a lot of reasons to have it first it's just a different way to look at info online but second it really focuses your attention on just one one area if you have

your normal spread like think of a newspaper spread with five all articles or in this case five different ads or things going on the page kind of get lost but kind of focuses the reader a little bit maybe the advertisers like that then again less like they they may be selected so uh but no all around the deals and the uh presentation pretty legit and it's totally about prepping which makes it utterly unique and a good what quarter of it is either hosts or guests that have been on the show. So there's a lot of, you know, helping and supporting the host, but a lot of outside kind of best, the best in class that's been found by us as the host and the aggregate, I guess.

So some stuff with supporting the host, but just as much or more that we've done the research and even some of the testing, for example, the Lima Tango bags. uh that we've put those through some of the tests so hey it's still uh time you can still get things shipped to you it's shopping season's not over yet you you sound rushed i mean this is December 4th it's like to me christmas is it's still not close like there's plenty of time i'm not even worried about it i don't know one two three weeks three weeks and i also have to be ready before I travel so I have to be ready like a week before so I'm down to a two week period before I know it it'll be one week and there you go yeah I just think I made a decision

a while ago I'm not going to rush any one month of the year because this becomes like a 12th of your life that's true feels like the afterburners on end of the school year right that was always like a rush to and and if we're families that have kids in school you know may june rushes by so i like i like it when it's getting darker this time of year to try to stay paste yeah i mean i wish i wish i'm just rushing so i could be lazy how about that oh you you got vacation coming up so that might be different you want to you want to press on to that i got you sort of yeah it's like the last mile of the marathon get that adrenaline boost sort of i never run a marathon what do i now um we're gonna pump out go ahead uh page your power hour right on through

week of christmas that's that's the solstice or how do you want to handle that call make a call then when's what week at least will we have a finale for the audience that's a perfect segue something you alluded to early on the show our semi new regular day of the week Thursday which is inside joke that firewood forge would probably laugh at as much as anybody because like sometimes we're Tuesday sometimes we're Wednesday sometimes we're Thursday sometimes we're not even on no we've been on like 90% of the weeks this year long story short I'm not sure exactly what day of the week we're going to be doing. But we're definitely going to be on next week, either Wednesday or Thursday,

because the Fed meets next week. So I'm thinking Thursday next week, but we'll find out for sure. So anyway, we'll definitely be on next week. We'll definitely be on the week after that, which is the week of December 15th, Monday the 15th. For that, I have an engagement, I believe, on the Thursday. So that might be a Wednesday week. Okay. That's the thing.

You and I are, we do things. We don't just live in our mother's basement, so we can't just always do the exact time every single week. We try. Anyway, I do feel that I will not be at my home base the week of December 22nd. So I could try to host one on the road, but it looks like the 17th is a finale. All right. Then we only got two more shows left, regularly scheduled shows.

yeah tick talk so we got now who's rushing here we go we ain't got time let's go maybe maybe subconsciously you were rushing for the right reasons the patriot power hour reasons but we got to knock out selection well let we're going to get into our the status of the show's polymarket account assuming that comes in though I think we might want to take action on that in a special and we also got to cover predictions we made in in the June-Duly time frame at the end of the spring season. We've got to look at how well we did. So there is no time to burn. We don't have to rush, but we can be lolly-gagging. I say next week, okay, the week of the 17th or thereabouts, that'll be our finale. That'll be the year in review.

17th or right around then. next week will be the Fed Day so that you know we'll reserve that at any other news it's really about three episodes to finish out the year and then we may have our first show on New Year's Day

or even New Year's Eve we don't have to make that decision now but we'll come back and you know hit it hard in 2026 right away and of course if any of the heat map dashboard starts turning bad news

clouds forming crisis brewing we'll be back on anytime yep we have that capability lots of different ways as long as there's uh as long as there's internet we can make that happen what do you want to hit first you want a dashboard run for the dashboard or yeah might as well might as well pick up from there and hit some other topics for the rest of the show all right let's run through a couple ads super quick. We'll hit the dashboard and run on from there on the 328th episode of Patriot Power Hour. Be right back.

December 4th 2025 for those falling along live or watching the Rumbler YouTuber X streams you can see the future danger net dashboard of course those of you listening I do encourage you to check out the video sometimes It is pretty cool to be able to see a lot of this. But, A, without further ado, let's run through the articles. I'd say this is about an average news week. Last week was very low on the frequency and severity, but we have a decent amount this week,

especially in the fourth column. So let's start there. Let's start with the most severe actual and dangerous news. Rasmussen survey 1 in 10 adults seriously injured by COVID-19 vaccine one in 10 seriously injured by COVID-19 vaccine tropical cyclone leaves over a thousand dead millions affected across Indonesia Thailand and Malaysia an asteroid flying by earth pretty closely all considered only six percent six percent the distance between earth and the moon that's not that far i mean it's still thousands and thousands of miles

but in the grand scheme of space six percent of the that's like very that's that's that's a that's a close shave to say the least in other space weather news severe space weather warned G3 strong geomagnetic storm alert issued and we also got a little bit of volcanic activity wire volcanoes that have been dormant for ages suddenly roaring to life all over the world we've been covering these well for a decade on future danger future dan has been covered monstrous volcano erupts but I've noticed a little bit of a pick up it seems this year too let's go ahead and look at economics actually not a ton going on bitcoin's around 93k gold at about 4200 silver silver broke all-time high on sunday the sunday after thanksgiving

broke an all-time high, but it kind of has been laggard since then. And by a laggard, I mean, still at an all-time high. It just hasn't broken through again. So around $58 is silver. Might talk about that a little bit more. But the markets, a little choppy. Generally, the equity markets are seeing some tremors out of, Japan but really the only thing rating on the heat map right now economic think tank warns

AI and robots could automate 40% of American jobs by 2030 that's only four years really four years from 2026 layoff announcements top 1.1 million this year the most since 2020 so those two articles somewhat topical but 1.1 million layoffs this year. Most since COVID, we'll be watching that. Otherwise, economics relatively quiet. Geopolitical security, also relatively quiet. Thankfully, no, World War III break it out right now. Keep prepping. Russian drones did breach Romanian airspace. And of course, it's not like that war has ended. But as featured, Dan said the week it started in February 2022, this thing's going to go on for years and years

without a clear winner. And that's what has happened. Riots erupt, multiple arrested as protesters violently block federal agents at a Manhattan garage. And final article of the newsblitz will bring future Dan back in. Six major warning signs. that indicate that military strikes on Venezuela could be imminent. And I know that future Dan wants to talk about Venezuela and just constitutional powers overall.

So do you want to start there or were there any articles you want to hit on first? Yeah, let's go right into it. You know, I think it's a giant controversy yesterday and today. Huge political football now, the strikes on the boats. Run us through that for posterity. So a matter of a few months ago, the president, through the secretary of war, to the theater commander, and on down, authorized strikes on the drugboats. And it is a novel rationale for the use of lethal force. That's true.

that the cargo of the boats constitutes a direct threat to the United States and therefore striking it, rendering, you know, destroying it is is going to be a lawful act of use of force. The one thing I remember most from Trump's inauguration day was, designating the drug cartels as a terrorist organization and I remember thinking hell yes so

can you explain what that did and get into the particular legal aspect I'm not sure that I'm not sure that matters right and why did he do it just as a cheerleader

no well let's just focus on the legality of it right just purely the legality because that's the great big controversy in Washington, D.C. right now. War crime, war crime. Is it a war crime? So, you know, there's, there are conventions of war, of war, naval warfare, right? That have just been, you know, they're considered customary. And there's Supreme Court decisions in 1907, which, which held that, you know, these customary laws,

unless there's something that the U.S. Constitution or federal law you know if there's something that overrides it then customary international law has no effect

but if there's nothing overriding it then it it should hold and I wasn't in the Navy I'm not a Navy I'm not a Navy lawyer and I am using

AI, so just put that out there, full disclosure, not an expert. But the law of naval warfare has evolved that there's, there's, there's aspects to it, fighting at sea. And the vessel itself can, you know, if it, you know, if self-defense applies, right? And that's not just self-defense of the, you know, attacking vessel. It's self-defense of the nation, right? Which is the sole discretion of the U.S. President to decide when a threat exists. What Trump has done is he's defined the narcotics

as a cargo that is a threat to the United States. And if you thought about it for a minute, well, what if those boats carried you know, the equivalent poundage of, you know, COVID-26, right? Or some other biological warfare agents or just, you know, crates of, you know, nerve gas, right? Some other substance that's, you know, a weapon of war. So what Trump's administration has done has said, this, you know, these narcotics are a weapon of war. And he's going to be right because Article 2 powers leave him with sole discretion on defining threats.

There's no international law that defines this threat. The U.N. Charter, you know, Article 51, that covers, you know, warfare and when it's, you know, permissible to go to war under the U.N. It doesn't cover this aspect of, you know, warfare at sea law. There are details about, you know, not using force, you know, proportionality, right? Law of warfare always, you know, includes this concept of proportionality. So is it proportional to strike those boats and to restrike them if the cargo doesn't think? think regardless of survivors or not. That's the big question mark.

But at the end of the day, the executive branch decides on these things. And, you know, short of, you know, an election or impeachment, there's no other source that that controls this. I was listening to somebody that was in the Coast Guard talk on the radio about the fact that when you vaporize a boat full of fentanyl, it creates a cloud of opiate particulates that anybody who is on that boat is going to die from within seconds anyways so you've seen the videos they're firebombing these things and that's because they're trying to literally destroy the drugs

in the most efficient way because they're packaged to float and you know if they go over the side so they're just setting them on fire in an instant you know fire bomb the people on board of those boats they're they're going to die from that right so you know striking the boat again to make sure you got it all you know there's there's bodies floating around the ocean that are you know still have a heat signature but certainly doesn't mean they're alive anymore so that's that's a big be on Washington, D.C. right now. And it seems

concocted. It seems like a strategy that was probably in the works for months by Trump's opposition. But I think when you get to the end of it,

he's using a novel interpretation of what the threat is. But after studying it, there's nothing besides an election or an impeachment that would

you know prevent him from making that new interpretation of what a threat is and how about how about how they're trying to kind of circle and isolate

Hague Seth away from Trump too but Hakeshers just following the proper orders of the commander in chief so that's not going to be successful right absolutely the roles being played, you know, are secondary to the, you know, fundamental question. What are there war crimes, right?

And the legal position of the Department of War is going to outline pretty much what I've said. And that's the end of it, right? It's really a matter of, you know, Democrats trying to peel off, you know, some Republicans that can be, you know, somewhat ignorant on the details of these things, it seems. and it's just the topic du jour topic of the week they come up with another one every week or two and some of them stick a little more than others no one's going to care about this in a week i don't think navy struck another boat tonight like it's after noon in terms of the war crime oh my god we got to get rid of a hag set that's he's evil he's killing people unnecessarily like everyone

knows that's BS what life I don't know I don't know I don't care I know that they ordered another strike right in the face of the Democrats tonight and put it on video they blew one up in the Pacific a few hours ago so they just don't care what the what the Democrat think or do in the least which could be dangerous you know there could be a line that was crossed and I was in the U.S. Army. I wasn't in the U.S. Navy, so I never got the, you know, the law of warfare on the sea. I got the law of land warfare, several of those classes. So I've got a pretty good idea what that's about, but I had to go and do some research on when is it, you know, if the vessel

or its cargo continues to be a threat, you can hit it and hit it and hit it again, right? That's war. So I think we're going to see more of that. Another thing that, trust me, I've been quite critical Trump, but today I'm on his side more than normal, I guess. I don't know, one thing I love about what he does is he twists Democrats around and all of a sudden they're arguing against themselves or where I'm coming from here is Obama's drone strike campaign had so many more people killed and more likely under their current definition of, what's a quote unquote war crime or innocent casualties a crazy amount more with under obama well and now they're arguing against trump and they're just the same thing with epstein too they're like you know okay where were you guys in the last four years eight years with epstein files now only that trump's there that's the only time you bring it up huh yeah i got

you but you know a lot of that's for their own you know constituencies that are not the not the high information types right so the the part of part of what's going on though is since the end of the cold war the u.n. charter and the conceptions of international relations and international warfare utterly broke down with non-state actors right so you know the closest you know one of things that's similar to kind of what's going on in the Caribbean is this you know states have always you know used force against piracy right without a doubt navies always do that and this isn't piracy technically right this isn't this isn't venezuelan coke boats trying to take over other boats so there's a very novel interpretation here but i would say it's even worse it's even worse than piracy

more organized and more lethal to the citizens than your average pirate in my opinion yeah and everybody's you know i was allowed an opinion but the only opinion in this case it matters is trump and what he delegates people to do so that's what we're seeing and if 90% of people or 80% of you know his party hates it they could impeach him like he said and highly doubt that'll happen even if they did though i don't think whatever crime the senate convicted him on would be a high crime I just I think they got the legal reasoning

Obama you know the Department of Defense throughout every presidency their lawyers draft up the statements the opinions so they all justify it

and it's pretty easy to do in an era where there's failed states non-state actors factions partisans right the old days of that's your capital that's your government, that's your leader, that's your army, we're going to fight you.

It's pretty clear. We're fighting you, right? When that's not in effect, all these states are going to use this force, right? And we're doing it transparently, right? Other presidents would just have ordered all of this and classified it. They don't have to be showing the videos. That's the part that's shocking to the rest of Latin America and the political opposition to Trump is, they're just doing it boldly.

Now, the threats of, you know, putting 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit into Caracas and, you know, invading countries, that, I don't think is something that Trump is going to do. He's just going to threaten it to the max and see if he can get Maduro to back down. And with the cooperation of the Mexicans, that could involve. strikes inside of Mexico, but pretty sure we wouldn't hear about it. Well, great minds

think alike. I guess if we do 328 plus episodes we're in sync a bit because I was going to ask you what the next shooter drop would be or if there would be strikes, whether airstrikes or

speck ops, commandos, whatever in country, in Venezuela, not on boats, but actually in Caracas or anywhere inside. Is that already occurring, or if that did occur, would that be a huge escalation? What do you see in? They got a lot of people alerted down there right now.

I don't think that's happening. But they could. They could easily insert anything. We can invade Venezuela very easily in multiple ways very fast. At very low cost of life to us. That's for certain. What I'd personally like to see is a declaration of war. I mean, if you want to do it, declare war.

Declare it the way it was meant to declare it. Now, doing that would wipe out the fine old nail in the coffin of the United Nations system, right? Supposed to get a resolution through the security council with the five permanent members. And China and Russia are certainly not going to vote with us. France and Britain wouldn't even vote with us. Like everybody on the permanent five would vote, you know, all of the four would vote against us, right? So you could declare war, you know, just like back in the day at the beginning of our republic, but it would destroy the UN system once and for all.

Do it, Trump. Do it. He already kind of hinted at bringing the UN to heal or even disbanding it. How about just go for it? Just declare war and show that the Security Council doesn't mean anything anymore. It's ratified treaty law. It's as valid as the Constitution. That's sad and pathetic.

I can't believe former Senate did that to us. Founders always admitted that we can sign treaties that were law, right? Louisiana. Yeah, I mean, whoever signed it in the 50s or whatever, that's who I'm calling sad and Well, not, not from that perspective. It was it was a few years after absolutely winning World War II. I can see why it seemed like a good idea. I could be convinced of a lot of things, I guess.

So that's what we're doing. All right. I'm just checking it out. June 26, 1945. Hey, that was before the A bomb was even dropped. Interesting. Father of Four says, did we declare war? He said that even before you brought that option up.

That was about six minutes ago. He wrote that. He also thinks maybe that should be done. Congress hasn't declared war since day after Pearl Harbor. It hasn't happened since, in a outright way. although a lot of people would argue that the authorization of use of military force a umf they just kind of change the title of the of the resolution but they were definitely passed for you know both wars in iraq and afghanistan what else we're looking at today on

the dashboard do you want to really dig into hey i'll let you guy to spend um there's There's polymarket discussion to be had, too. Yeah, let's save that to the end. Jump into the most serious news of the day. Rasmussen survey, one in ten adults seriously injured by COVID-19. I won't read this verbatim, but I'll go through some of it for those who aren't following along visually. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin faces backlash for giving victims a voice. as mainstream medicine and media dismissed their suffering.

So this survey came out, said 10% of U.S. adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experience. Major side effects, 36% suffered minor side effects. So 10% major, 36% minor. A lot of heart inflammation, even in young males. And really, at this point, what about four years after the vaccine was rolled out maybe four to four and a half years it's slowly being proven that there were negative side effects and a double digit percentage of those who took it had some sort of side effect but the exact extent and how bad that was

and of course the benefit did the benefit outweigh well i have my own opinion but Based off this survey, it seems pretty conclusive, even within the sampling error, even if you gave it the worst possible sampling error, still a good percentage. At a 95% confidence level, that 46% of adults believe the COVID vaccines led to more unexplained deaths. So we got injuries coming out. We have death numbers and we have people's belief all trending more and more to exposure. But it's really hard to pin it all down to future Dan, so I don't know if there's a smoking gun per se. I don't know if there ever will be.

Well, this headline is just a bit of evidence towards the indicator. The indicators vaccine effect are exposed. But stop and ask, like, why is that dangerous? why are vaccination effects exposed why is that a dangerous thing for those effects to be exposed yeah oh shake the medical system to its core right but that to some people might sound like a positive thing yes to me but so what i can understand why so is it not dangerous it's dangerous because it would make things more unstable potentially and more heavy-handed vaccine mandates down the line to counter the populist uprising how about that that's dangerous

how about um the next bioweapon that hits us is an order of magnitude more lethal and the amount of people that will refuse to get a vaccine that in that scenario might actually be the best strategy for survival they refuse to get it it's a knock-on effect it's a second-order effect yeah right set aside like trust mistrust in anybody in in your nation and your government and the corporations of of of your world now look at that from an adversary's point of view we're weaker as a total result of of that vaccine certainly and well our readiness is lower too in a lot of ways and kind of old crying wolf thing if a real vaccine came out to really save us if there was a 10 20 50% death

rate people might we not want to take it and maybe they should down the line so there's a lot of reasons i i guess it could be and like you said it's been fully actualized we have a lot of this shtf level news in this indicator we do you know it's it's not it's that story's not over what happened in the past it's gonna have have significant risks from a national security point of view in the future hell we've been watching it since uh gosh Need to go data mine. Maybe all the use AI to go through all the old archives. I'm planning to do that.

I'm sort of doing it, but I need to bring it even to more episodes. But I can all but guarantee we talked about a vaccine before they even announced one about how there would be one rolling out. And it came right out more than four years ago. What else we want to hit on? Let's see. My turn to pick still, huh?

Dealer's choice tonight. um that asteroid that's about as close as I've seen one on the newsblitz that I remember usually they're like half a lunar distance or two lunar distances away far with Forge road in there

14,000 miles like 14,000 miles I think I've flown that far when I went to freaking Korea um 11,200 miles actually is what this one's saying

super close it was about hmm a diameter of 30 feet so card a car to school bus size yeah that's that's the diameter so it'd be a big sphere with the diameter the size of a bus so pretty big obviously not going to kill us all like the dinosaurs but if it hit your neighborhood it'd be a bad day yeah none of these things are spherical though they're always like to show usually longer than than you know tumbling along but you know not big enough to you know have a global impact but these things come you know from a certain direction out of the sun and and and we have blind spots in our sensors you can't you can't necessarily spot them so that's why that indicator is you know a back door asteroid spotted one that you know backdoored us we we we we found out with very little time

and it was big and it was uh zero lunar distances from earth crazy watchers dot news really cool website in fact it has this interactive tables here it shows all asteroids that came within one lunar distance so every asteroid in 2025 2024 2023 that came pretty much between the moon and and earth and it has its speed so it has its relative speed which obviously translates into energy destructive energy if it hit as well as diameter and the date it approached most closely and all this other stuff pretty neat but also another reason to be a prepper We got a lot of man-made problems, but all to take is one of these near-Earth asteroids to hit on your side of the continent or your region. And you might not be having power for a couple months, if assuming you didn't get blasted yourself.

All right. We've got a few more articles to hit on, and we'll hit some polymarket. What do you say? Yeah. Yeah. And all that natural, the volcanoes that we got, you know, acting up a little bit, the objects in space, the space weather, every single one of those has to be like extreme, extreme super volcanoes, super, you know, earthquake, so super, you know, backdoor asteroid before it poses a problem in and of itself, a long-term problem. But any one of those things could trigger everything else on the heat map to go, you know, wild, right? It's a cascading effect that we're looking for.

Yep. Again, this tropical cyclone was big, 1,000 dead, rare tropical cyclone in the Pacific, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia. But big storms do happen. We'll track them here. worth prepping for all types of potential problems. Last one I wanted to get on is this Russian drones breach Romanian airspace. Two Russian drones penetrated Romanian airspace. One crashed 70 miles from Ukraine, which is the furthest incursion.

So it went 70 miles from Ukraine, 70 miles into Romania. Romania is not the biggest country ever. so 70 miles in is a good percentage of Ukraine's or excuse me of Romania's airspace I would guess they'd be like going 400 miles into the U.S. equivalent I bet so this has been tested and also in Moldova Poland Latvia Lithuania future Dan what are you seeing is this uh anything to be concerned about or just normal probes prodding and what's going on or they're not not really even Russian, or they're Russian and they got hacked and made to do that, or the psychological operations purposes, like, I don't know what's true over there.

But they're not armed, and they're not, they don't look like a, you know, something that would trigger, you know, NATO to respond militarily to Russia. So it rates on the heat map. We've got to pay attention to it, but it's just a low-level topical event. the um yeah uh what what probably is is what was once known in the united states and uh i've learned it has recently been reestablished in the u.s military doctrine and renamed from from some you know somewhat meaningless names in the interim we're back to psychological operations head said heck seth actually renamed what what was once psychological operations and then became information operations and miso you know some some you know innocuous acronyms he's like now it's psychological operations that's what we're going to call it that was what was coming to my mind not because i even heard or knew that but because i thought these drones

whether they are from Russia or they were captured by NATO and as you said hacked and brought back that's a psychological operation on on Russia that their drugs could be taken over like that so a lot of mind games and cyber games going on too yeah well it's not psychological when you do it and your enemy is like oh they stole our drone

they could do that it's psychological because you're directing it back at your own population right and the headline of appears as though Russian-controlled drones flew into our airspace. Very scary, very scary, but it really happened that way, right? I don't even try to try to guess necessarily, and that's not even what you need to do, right? Like, how do you handle that uncertainty that you will never truly know? You'll never have the source info in front of you.

So how do you handle that? Look at how history has handled all kinds of provocations that were used to begin wars, right? The Nazi regime did stupid shit at border crossings with Poland, right? You know, just put out on national radio that fire up fights had erupted from Polish border guards just to, you know, begin that, right? It's been going on forever. And because of, you know, radio, really, the Nazis were the first to be able to do it on a mass level psychological operation directed at their own populations. Or in this case, maybe Russia is just really putting the pressure on flying their drones in and not really caring anymore. That could be it too.

I think this is a good segue into Polly Market. because maybe I'm coming out of the left field with this the way I look at it there's so much information out there it's hard to tell what's the truth or what's more true than other half truths you know we were just talking about one are these Russian drones are these false flag are these hacked is it a little bit of all that is one have more preponderance than another that's a hard to know but one thing I've learned in my education and even experience is the wisdom of the crowd can suss out some of this uh you know what's really applicable what's the true truth the best truth out there well when people put their money

where their mouth is that could help motivate you know truth seeking not just opinion seeking or belief-seeking. So I kind of just ad-libbed what the polymarket and Kalshi CEOs and presidents have said the last few days that their prediction markets are going to help to clarify the crazy sea of information, more information than we've ever had as humanity. No one knows what the heck is true anymore, but your prediction markets will bring clarity. What do you say about that? Connecticut's already sued to get Kalishi stopped, along with a few others.

And meanwhile, Patriot PowerHour is trying to get an account. We're in the low 200,000th on the wait list last I saw. This is revolutionary, and there's a lot of powers that be are fighting against it. They are, and I think there's a few reasons. first they want their cut so they definitely want to tax it they want to have their cut i think a majority of it is they want their cut there is some that just want to ban it maybe even for moral reasons but it's mostly they want their cut i disagree oh really if you've seen the the fiscal affairs of of connecticut that they don't care at all about you know their tax

revenue or balancing a budget this is absolutely not any of their concerned in that state. Ah, well, that's Connecticut is like the smallest state. Could it be one of the first states that, you know, tries to, you know, officially bankrupt, right? Um, no, it's all about the power. It's all about hanging on to, speaking of sciops,

the push poles, the push polls, putting out information with, with rigged poles, putting it out over mass media and, and building up this, you know, you know, fake world where a a minority opinion seems to be the majority. Can't do that with something like Polymarket around. And that they're losing power. They don't care about the money.

My opinion. Some, well, yeah, for sure. Some are at that level, but maybe, I think not everybody's like Connecticut. Because Connecticut is, well, the hive of the banksters and a lot of old money and they definitely are much more globalist than your average bear in America I wouldn't be surprised we'd come to find out that Massachusetts New

York Illinois and California Oregon Washington many many of these states are suing to block it and it's you know it's gonna be probably come down to be you know these these future position markets are gonna you know be like porn right just blocked and you know entirely blocked in some states but not in others you know and then and then what you use a VPN to get around it and where do we go from there oh it's a legal mess but i think polymarket with this president is going to come into effect and there's a lot of democrat establishment that's going to you know witness it happened but they're going to be kicking and screaming every possible way to stop it.

One thing I just got to put out there, the insider trading, I mean, there could be rampant insider trading. Got to be on the lookout for that. In terms of push polls, I think, here's my conspiracy for the day, they're actually pushing Polly Market and Kalshi for push-pull reasons. they're just fighting it on in a couple of their proxies or allowing some people to fight them without stopping them but and why do I say this the amount of money that would sway these poles is minuscule compared to the Pentagon's budget for psychological manipulation I mean how much would be spent by the deep state to change people's opinion

for the midterms or the 2028 election billions upon billions of dollars most of these bets only have five 10 20 million dollars so you can spend a few million dollars have a statistically significant impact on that number and money well well spent now the counter to that is if they make this free and open then people like you and i would take the other side of that bet and take their free money and screw their propaganda will fight it with our own predictions so that's the confluence of power in that regard so a couple things i've a couple things i'm not sure i agree with and other ones i'm a little confused about about what you just said so the deep state and the siops on the american public i mean sounds sounds good but you know and we found it right

Right? That was USAID. Yeah. But USAID was disbanded in its entirety. The amounts of companies, the federal contractors have gone absolutely bankrupt because of that is large, probably unprecedented. So that's gone this year. Pentagon seems to be increasingly in the control of the president. And the FBI seems to be fairly. in control of Patel and his two deputies and noam seems to be in control of dhs so where is

where's the deep it's it you know to be the deep state it has to be actually part of the state not not private actors you want to say to me that the nwo you know secret societies with billionaire money that that through the through the corporate media are going to continue with that kind of sciops. Well, that's, that's obvious. But I'm not, I'm not entirely sure there is a deep, there's remnants, right? I think they got their heads down. I think they're just hanging on and trying to stay in, you know, in a job right now.

I'm, I'm not sure how effective and powerful the deep state is the end of 2025. Yeah, I guess I meant more of the donor money that got, I mean, all that. There's even more reason for the soros of the world to donate 10 times more money than they ever donated to fight against Trump and friends. Okay. So where's that money going to go? There's just unlimited. First of all, they can print unlimited money at 0% interest rates. Second, they have an impetus and an absolute emergency to spend every dime and every route of propaganda possible.

So probably market looks like very ripe for manipulation, but not by the CIA per se, that type of deep state. Maybe people that used to be in the CIA and hope to be in it again, right? Yeah, so they're not exactly state actors, but, yeah, that is part of the deep state. I don't know, though, if Polly Market and also it has competitors, IBKR forecasting, Kaleesh, you know, there's others out there. I think it's a losing battle trying to, you know, it's going to have to be banned, right? It's going to be happy, you know, which is what Biden did, right? But short of that, I don't think you can throw, you know, money in to manipulate these things. Can't do it often, you know, just reality will intercede.

You'd have to be real smart about it and you have to have a long-term play where you're, you know, have hundreds of accounts each put in a few thousand dollar bets regularly to build up some you know so the AI can't find trends and stuff would it be worth it I don't know on the other hand cal she is literally partnering with CNN yeah CNN's hit such rock bottom that they're uh behind the curve of Patriot Power Hour we came up with this before CNN now it's just joking but they literally uh came into a sponsorship cal she's sponsoring CNN paying CNN so that CNN will give odds and predictions on some of their stories and stuff, you know, similar to ESPN and then being sponsored by Draft Kings,

like, hey, you know, the Colts versus the Raiders, and it's the first touchdown scored by the Raiders is a minus 1 30 favorite, blah, blah, blah, well, now they're going to start throwing in the equivalent to news stories on CNN, which is kind of gimmicky, but on the other hand, hey, we're going to do it, but I think we're going to be doing it the right way. Wow. Yeah, that's different. What about insider trading?

You brought that up a moment ago. In a pure libertarian freedom of association, you know, construct. And imagine the ideal of freedom of association. Is there any role of the state to intercede in a position, contract, bet that I and another person want to make I don't I don't think there's any role of the government to govern this you it should all be you know buyer beware or speculator beware straight up and I think polymarket has a media strategy for this because I follow polymarket and polymarket money there's a couple X accounts right

So what they're doing is when someone, I saw a lot of these posts during the New York mayoral election, when Mamdami was, you know, high on the yes, you know, contract, you know, 70, 80 percent, 80 cents on the, on the contract. But then big money was showing up going, you know, 50, 75, 100,000, 150, 200,000. dollars on the yes vote it the polymarket puts that out there as a tweet and and they're not and they're straight up about it they're like somebody knows something look at this guy they they also like if someone wins a lot of these you know non-sports bets the political or economic and just runs runs the table on a bunch of bets you know the terms of conditions of the using the platform they're going to point that out like hey look look at what this guy knows is that not an effective remedy using a free association model to the threat of insider trading or do you still have you know an urge to regulate it it could just get that bad well it should be up to polymark or whoever to suss out any insider traders if they want to to take it also tail those guys themselves and make tons of money off the backs of everybody else

so do you trust the exchange in that regard um i'm not worried about the government regulating it as opposed to protecting others i'm trying to come up with good examples on that but people who are able to they either have insider knowledge from government or certain protections from government they can take certain actions or know certain things before others and you don't need the you know that's not that you know when you have privileged information because of your government clearance or any reason really but especially because we're talking government association or knowledge that's a different you know leveraging that to bet that's a shaky ground so you're worried it just concentrates wealth in

in the already powerful hands. Oh, they'll definitely be able to skim it off the top, and if they're smart, they'll create, like I said, lots of bots who win 55, 60% of their bets, so they never show up, but they're not too good or too consistent. But they're always winning. And then if there's a really important bet, I don't know what it is, but will Trump's assassin be X, Y, or Z?

Because Trump just got shot, and they need to really twist this bet, because everybody's talking about the polymarket bet. It could change this course of American history, this one little website with $100 million, which is nothing. You know, they spend $100 million on the Super Bowl. So this is like a big pushpole, like you said. If you look at it, that the U.S. government spends tens of billions a year.

Now we just went through that the U.S. government's not funding this, which is good. But let's just make sure USAID doesn't come back in a few years. and then we're just really set for a cluster. You don't think the power of the market, the wisdom of the crowd, will cut through that? Not if the market makers like Polly Market hide and obfuscate it because either, A, they can't control it, so they have to make it look more fair so they don't get called out. Or B, they make tons of money off the back of the whales in parallel. That's what I would do.

I mean, that's what a bookie would do if they knew, you know, what was it, the black socks you know my field of dreams reference so if you're the bookie and you knew all this is going on would you say hey this isn't a fair market to everybody or would you actually go place your own bets somewhere else and just take the bets from the person who knows it and not tell everybody but i think we're talking about two things you're you're focused on the inequality of your ability to you know profit from such a platform existing and the owners of the platform being able to profit. So that's worth discussion, but that's one thing.

But then there's the other thing, which is the ultimate reality of the outcome of the position. You know, these things are fairly objective. Did it happen? Did it not? And that's because, you know, the platforms, you know, they can't have some ambiguous settlement rules, but they're going to get sued, right? And somebody will win that lawsuit, right? If they're, you know, just if they get to make up what the definition of yes or no is,

and it's not objective and demonstrable with facts, right? It's going to be a problem for them. So most of these positions are pretty binary, like pretty hard to argue that it didn't go one way or another, especially because they use dates all the time. Did this happen by this date, right? so two different things the inequities that come with having a having the platform and seeing the all the data and the possibility that somebody could rig it because the volumes are low versus you know the the the truth providing function of the of the actual positions themselves i think the truth finding function is is worth Everything else in an economic parlance, Ben, I think you're talking about externalities, right? Negative externalities, which, you know, admittedly, you know, just like the combustion engine and the use of fossil fuel has negative externalities, right?

You know, air pollution, right? Has positive externalities outside of some gasoline line chart, right? You know, the mobility that is afforded by the combustion engine promotes a heck of a lot of great economic activity, too, right? So positive negative externalities, I think that a polymarket, you know, could they, you know, have a negative externality of being corrupt on the side? Yeah, they could, but how bad would it be before no one used their platform, too, right? It's not a monopoly. yep great points have been a little bit of a devil's advocate or pointing out some of the negatives for sure hmm i'm excited for it i told you that we got to try to have more than just one

market so polymarket kalshi any others because of what you just said if we feel one's not fair or screwed us over we could try other ones as well as just shopping the different odds. If one of them is heavily manipulated and the odds are bad, well, maybe we can go somewhere else to get better odds. So that's a great way. You know, the opposite of a free market is monopoly. So if it all becomes polymarket only, that is a bad thing.

But if there's several equivalents of polymarket, that'll make it more free and competitive. I don't know if that's going to happen. They've got people scrambling to build the arbitrage apps. Right, exactly. Seek out positions and always are. So because of those middlemen who will always be seeking, like, at 73% or cents on this same bet, and over here it's 46 cents, I'm going to play the difference.

You know, it'll all start to equalize, won't it? It can, especially if access to it is more open. if only you know each state has a different one and half the states don't have one and different countries have different versions it'll be more fragmented and not as free but that is really cool thing about modern internet like all this happens like so fast you know back of the day such an arbitrage equalization between let's just say like san francisco and new york arbitrage would take like months because you'd have to take the gold or whatever product literally over the land now it happens in milliseconds and you can have hundreds of thousands of trades per second that all try to equalize so that's great um but don't put it past the banksters to figure out ways to scam either so yeah just keep your eyes open and i'm looking forward to it i wish the government will get out of our way that'll be my final stage on it like come on i'm a consenting adult u.s. citizen

let me freaking put some fiat currency down on some of these patriot power hour positions got any in mind you see any tonight that are like yeah if if if the account was active i'm putting money down tonight on that that's what it gets a lot harder all of them look like oh yeah i might do this i might do that but when you actually get a wager your own cash money you're like oh jeez i don't know. I don't know. Funny enough, I've not seen any of that jumped out that I was really stoked for this time around. In the past, I have. I saw ones that were more telling, or I remember seeing them at much different numbers. For example, this Russia and Ukraine ceasefire in 2025. Question mark. What are the chances there will be a ceasefire in 2025? In March, there was a 78% chance.

now there's five percent so if you bet that in march when most everybody was thinking there would have been a ceasefire if you're like no there's not going to be one you could have made a hell of a lot so there's a lot this year that i've i've watched progress over time so that's kind of what was catching my eye right now not really any that i thought were an arbitrage or i would have a particular different view how about you i i i'd put But, you know, for a five-cent yes on that one, that might be some, you know, what would be the right term for it? You know, it's a high-risk position, but a little bit of money on that yes vote could pay off really big if some surprising news comes out. So, you know, one in 20 chance.

If you think there's a one-and-twenty chance that in the next 27 days there'll be a ceasefire. I don't know if that ceasefire has to be permanent. It could be like a one-week ceasefire for Christmas. Let's take a look how that would be defined. Publicly announced and mutually agreed to halt between Russia and Ukraine. It doesn't have to last long at all. Otherwise, they would never have to pay the bet because, you know, you know, you get your money if it lasts forever well right they pay you forever from now hey even this guy here in the

comments now this is another cool part they just research in the crowd source you don't even have to put a dollar on any bet or anything but reading what everyone says 17 hours ago someone said everything under 15% yes is undervalued well it's at 5% we're saying that might be a good bet this guy says up to 15% would be a good value so he's thinking we are along our lines but three times more risky than that so maybe that 5% would be a good bet right now you got nine likes for whatever that's worth it's a matter of how much you bet this is this wouldn't be something you put a lot on there's a little bit of an investment with with a big chance of paying off really big if if you know 19 out of 20

many people are wrong about this pay you know bet 10 bucks get 200 back that'd be a nice new microphone for page of power hour right there you go now you've said i don't know if this is what you're going to lean to but you know i've talked a little bit about this and you thought going for some of these one in 10 one and 21 30 bets might be the way to go but on the other hand you've also seen some that were like a 95% chance like here's one how about this is the most extreme version you would always bet against thermonuclear war beginning because if thermonuclear war begins it doesn't matter what you bet against right so that's a little extreme maybe but where do you see that are you going to take that sort of not at that extreme but is that the sort of rationale

where you might take these certain bets and just go all in, even if there's a small chance? Yeah. I mean, some of these no votes or positions are like 95 cents. And I cannot conceive how whatever the proposition is could happen at all. I think it's impossible. You know, you've called it, you know, picking up pennies in front of the seam roller, but I don't necessarily think all those are steam rollers there

they might be steam rollers but they're parked they ain't moving it's not going to happen and I see those bets on Bolly markets some people throwing very large amounts of money on them because they're going to just pick up a 5%

coupon on just putting their money there for a little while yeah if you can truly consider it risk free that it'll never happen that you'll never lose your money, then easy 5% gain on it. I would just say that, you know, after running future danger for over 10 years and, you know, paying attention to international politics as something I studied in college

and been looking at the world this way since I was little. I remember when Soviets invaded Afghanistan and, you know, the Iranians took over our embassy. I was watching the news at that age. some of these bets on Polly Market are inconceivable to me, right? Just like you ask yourself, all right, let's say that happened. Think about everything else that would have had to have also happened for that to have happened. Can I believe that that set of events has any chance of happening? That's when I think when we get this account up and running,

we could grow the portfolio by throwing, you know, some, some, some, medium-sized positions on some of the impossible outcomes that are sometimes on these platforms. I'm looking forward to that strategy. I'm looking forward to use it. If only my government would get out of my way. I don't need its protection. But that's not even your government and they're holding you up. Yeah, there you go. Perfectly said. Here's one. So I'm getting into the sports betting parlance, but it's called, you know, you fade. It means you go against. You fade. You're going to fade AOC Alexandria Ocasio-C Cortez. She has an 8% chance to win the presidency in 2028. I think that's a 0% chance. So I think by fading her at 8%

that's guaranteed money. But hey, crazy stuff happens, man. Someone could have lost a fortune when Trump came in and won in 2016. Hey, you think the apprentice guy's going to win? No way. Well, You know, I personally will be a little careful with mine, but I'm looking forward to talking through it. I'm an advocate for sort of two things to keep any polymarket positions that are Patriot Power Hour account, you know, put some money down on is maybe two rules of the road, Ben. Okay. All right. But this is the proposal. I'm not trying to say it has to.

to be this way you're not dictating it first one is it has to be consensus we both have to you know voluntarily agree and and and there's no there's no blaming later that one was your idea all right yeah so consensus positions and the second one is you know the geopolitical or economic sometimes political uh positions that you know relate to what's dangerous right what we mostly focus on this show oh yeah yeah so i don't i don't think a position for for our show accounts maybe you're your my personal accounts but you know we who's the president next is not in and of itself dangerous okay i get you we're definitely not going to do like who's going to win the oscar best picture or something but we certainly

talk a lot about ukraine and russia and for years you know what it meant and i appreciate what you said that they're in the heat map dashboard it you know it just reminded me of a giant version of the break up of of of yugoslavia and and how that that was just going to grind on right and it turned out so far to be actually you know pretty much that with much higher stakes of course but you know military strikes would be unconstitutional warfare unless congress you know voted to go to war with Venezuela. So we're going to pay attention to that stuff.

And then the economics, obviously. There's a billion ways to bet how many times the Fed chair says something and is reading of the results of a Fulmec meeting. So there's a fine line there from important stuff to sort of trivial stuff, I'd say. Well, I think that does it for the show. We'll be back next week because Fed decision is looming, December 10th. So next Wednesday will be the Fed decision. I think we'll be on Thursday, but maybe Wednesday.

We'll talk about it. But that'll be our next show. They're showing a 93% chance of a 25 basis point decrease. And that's been going up big time in the last couple weeks. So that would you bet that one? That seems about right. had to i would pick one of those really low ones i would probably pick the let's see i probably pick the no change at the 8% just as a flyer that's another kind of the betting or gambling

term a flyer like there's a 1 in 10 chance like 8% chance i let's do it that's what the term was that's exactly right pick a flyer pick we'll take flyers we'll take we'll pick up the pennies in front the steamroller and a lot of interesting middle stuff hopefully our accounts approved by next week huh man i hope so i am in the waiting list but i have no idea if being 200 000 is means it'll be a day a week a month so can't guarantee anything but we're in the waiting list apparently and you do have our predictions from june on stock uh i am curious to see what we said and where we got to since then yes And we have, I mean, we have our June predictions, but we also have the full predictions from January, too.

Oh, wow. It runs through. We have kind of like that check-in. So that would be, yeah, we could, I'll see if I can cope up with a tidbit or a teaser next week for one or two of those. But the week after, yeah, I got to make sure to do my homework. And I'll have that, all those ready to go. We'll run through it. Isn't it because unlike almost any of the show you're going to hear out there,

Patriot Power Hour is a learning organization. We're going to see what we thought at the time that we thought it, compare it to what happened and improve, right, Ben? Yep. Exactly, exactly. Looking to, I want to change my mind if I was wrong. I want to evaluate what we said and make corrections or reinforce that we were on the right track. Whatever is the truth.

Throw my pride away. So a lot of accountability on store for, Patriot Power Hour, but I appreciate being able to do this show with you, and I appreciate the all listeners who are tuning in live or picking it up later on podcasts. Please support

Prepper Broadcasting Network. Great catalog out all kinds of deals for preparedness. Totally fun to read catalog. Check that out. We'll be back next week. And one more after that. To close out, the

autumn, 25 season, Ben. That's the plan. See you next week.
