This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of Future Danger.com. We're live. What do you want? Statement of Perkins.

Oh. It didn't work, Future Dan. my efforts failed we got the music came back even though i went through the entire step it bummeranged even though you said it wouldn't happen that's what happens yeah when you go almost an entire year without that error who cares it is the season finale patriot power hour episode 330 december 16th 2025 bend the breaker banksters future day bringing you four seasons in debuted the premiere of winter season 2025 at episode 290 so tonight we're at 3 30 it's symmetrical I don't know if we so we've averaged 10 episodes per season winter spring summer fall yep this ends the fall season it ends the 2025 collection of

four seasons and we did predictions at the beginning of it we did predictions at the beginning of it and it's a little bit of a tradition we started a few years ago formalized a little bit more in 2024 and this year from start to finish we've been touching on these different topics gauging how well we've been doing how well we've not been doing maybe and that's not necessarily a bad thing right hey we don't necessarily want a lot of these things to occur point is it's the last show of the season so it's time to judge and grade our efforts future Dan you want to go forward with that before we hit the dashboard yeah absolutely this is a wrapping up the year let's see how we did all right so for those following along on

video format i'm going to go ahead and share screen and for those listening we're going to do our absolute best to describe what we're showing if it gets a little numbery and jargoni i swear we'll try to keep a high level and bring it back to prepping because that's what we're here on PBN for all right future Dan yeah right now we're seeing a table I have no idea what it is I do know what it is but if I was just looking at this and I had not really seen this I would not know what it is can you describe it yeah a few hours ago I didn't know what it was all right so what have you learned in the last couple hours I learned that we did you know we needed to score our 2025 predictions in some meaningful way so just turning to the

AI I asked like how do you do that if as we are want to do give percent confidence in an event happening or failing to happen right we don't just do predictions like this will happen or that won't we say all right it's going to be like a 30% chance this will happen or 75% chance that'll happen how do you how do you score that how do you know if if you did well at it or not so I asked the AI and it came back and said you know check out the briar score method the briar score method a statistical method that well in our case pits your prediction the p value p for prediction compared to the outcome or the oh value so p and o your prediction versus the outcome it then comes up with a score the closer to zero feature Dan the closer to zero the better zero's perfect

one is absolutely imperfect which is almost as good as perfect if you could bet it gives yourself perfectly right so you're almost never going to get a one or a zero I guess is my nerdy way of saying that yeah because we don't ever lay down zero or 100% chance of anything you know very true so even if it happened perfectly we probably won't give it 100% chance great way to say it so this rank ordering you know just applies the briar score and you know our best prediction right at the top we said that gold would exceed three thousand dollars an ounce 90% chance we said well the outcome one means it happened so you know look at the math it's it's the best prediction we made on this on this methodology by the way there was a guy you name name briar

the 1950s who came up with this methodology for weather forecast models that had percent chance of rain percent chance of you know snow whatever right it was a method it was a early method to tell you how good was your confidence level forecast okay all right well known and there's different statistical methods you know you can think of whether it's standard deviation or regression this is just kind of in that same vein So, I'm going to run us through these 10 predictions. Oh, something really cool. How did we get this data?

Well, first off, I had written this data down, these predictions down, just for our own tracking, the old-fashioned way on pen and paper. But I wanted to go way more interesting and fun than that. I have written transcripts that I pay for for each of our podcast episodes or most of them. So I took the written transcripts from earlier this year, put it through chat GPT, had it build kind of the table and its understanding. And it did a great job. It already knows who said it, whether it was me or you and some of our rationale. And we're actually going to look some of this up in real time tonight. So we're going to ask some questions about our transcript from January.

But anyway, it also pulled out what we thought the percent. were and I cross-referenced this so these are legit that's the big part is voice to text has been around for a while but it's pretty reliable now but once you have text right narrative dialogue from our show extracting how we made these predictions and the percentages we gave to them more than less than condensing it to the table you see right there that's that's all done with machine assistance that wasn't done by hand no no I just did it by hand because the plan was always to do it by hand but now I totally separately but in parallel I did it with the machine cross-reference to make sure everybody was in line and it was and uh you know this the really cool thing about the transcript is I have Patriot Power Hour and other podcasts and episodes of mine and just other people's that I kept from 10 15 years ago and I can run it through so point is I want to be using AI to data mind shows from 10, 15 years ago where it would take hours and hours just to listen

like to five episodes, but you can go through an archive instantly these days are damn near. Right, right. Same thing Palantir could do 20 years ago. Yes. So, all right, with that all said, January 9th, it was January 9th, 2025. Episode 290. Episode 290. January 2025, it was the 2025 first show, right?

Right before Trump was. Yes. inaugurated again good point so here are the 10 now we did sort this in order of how the best we did versus worst so we'll start off doing really well and maybe fall off a little bit but first one and okay let's set the stage on january 9th 2025 gold was 2,683 so it was still 10 15% below $3,000 yeah so it would still need a nice gain from again it was let's just call it $2,700. But you had a 10%, you and I, with this prediction, we do these jointly.

Yeah. We were still thinking there's a 10% chance that it might not gain another $400. Yeah, but we thought there was a 90% chance. It was going up 15, 20% this year. Which was only $400 relative to the 2680 something. Correct. But what did it do? It's up to, what, $4,300 right now?

and it peaked at around 434400 i think something like that i'd have to go look exactly i don't think we got to gold 4400 but close is that that doesn't even sound right i'm about to like go check this myself but i think it's true honestly you ought to know i know but almost it's one of those like the gold sores indicator will give it to you too on future danger yeah click on it anyway At the time, gold, under $2,700, we thought there was a 90% chance that gold would be above $3,000. So it doesn't sound like much. October 16th. But in October 16th, it hit an all-time high above $4,300.

So we hit this one out of the park so hard that I think we almost failed because we, we, we we could have made just so much day of money if we actually backed this up. But that's the nuance I wanted to focus on. Perfect. Even, you know, 40 episodes ago, 12 months ago. Right. We were holding back and saying, well, you know, still a 10% kind of side to the equation that it can't get another 400. When it got like another, what, 1900?

Yeah. Yeah. And this is the thing. What I wanted to create, but I didn't get the chance. I need to think about how to best do it. But what was the market sentiment at that time? Like, if you ask the best paid hedge funds and Wall Street guys what they thought gold would be, no way they would have said a 90% chance would be 3,000, let alone get to 4,300.

No one thought that. I know whose sentiment we know, though. Patriot Power hours. That's what we said. And we checked ass. Yes. We almost got zero on this. Remember, that's good.

We got 0.0.0.1. I can say that 99% accuracy is what that is. Now, here's the next. one i'm actually now that i'm looking at this excited and proud about okay this was sort of contrarian to much of what you might run into on patriot power hour especially from the banks to breaker himself but i agree most of the time on these issues when when there's headlines indicating the banks are stressed then you got to look at at face value right the second one though is we said that a top 10 u.s bank would not

fail in 2025 and we're right and its briar score is identical because it's the inverse question right so we nailed that one and anyone who says we're fear monger's or anything like that we said there was a 90 plus percent chance a bank would not fail this year so we're not chicken little we're not screaming and crying going crazy even though we're always saying to prep and we're always saying that the banks could fail almost any second we think what the way we can maybe explain these contrarian views are well uh many reasons but it just occurred to me that perhaps in the winter 2026 season debut next month after new year's maybe even before got to look at the dates but uh we're going to we're going to bring out some more predictions

Ben, I think we should go for a two-year duration on some. I think we're ready for that. But I got, well, I got some. And the reason for that is top 10 bank failing in the two-year horizon, I'm going to suggest we go with a much higher chance of that. Because that's reaching into, that's reaching into 2027. That's reaching into 2027. And that's when somebody could strike with a financial crisis and bring down Trump,

his agenda and his successor. Hoover him. So for similar but different reasons, both you and I did not think of banquet collapse. My main reason is because I still think they have got one more big bail out in them. Your reason mainly is you think they're waiting to do that for a, to take Trump out around the election.

I'm calling the conspiracy of the manipulation. Right. That the powers that be in the financial sector can choose when and how the House of Cards falls and line it all up so that all the right people benefit and the country doesn't. Yeah. And I think both of our views have like 80, 90% overlap in that regard.

But we have different perspectives, which is pretty cool because it's actually, well, we did an average here because there was a couple of these that we, I gave a percent and you gave a percent, and the AI actually averaged them. could have done two separate analysis but they were very close on most of these this is the this is the consensus of this is consensus that exactly we go in this is kind of like with a polymarket or any other thing we're going to do a similar because you never set a percentage that I disputed in episode 290 last January nor nor you I we just had slightly different views on it so this is the average pretty much of the two yep it's like I'd say 75 you say 65 or vice versa it was like

the biggest differences. It's like we work like the the fomac here. How are you going to say it? Two governor. Now I will say this where I don't want to, on this last one for the top U.S. banks fail, if I did put in the market consensus or whatever, the great majority of people would also not have thought that a top U.S. bank would fail.

But they also don't have a podcast talking about banksters and prepping. Right. So, you know, that's the hell I normalize that, I guess. U.S. debt, greater than $38 trillion. We said there'd be an 85% chance that's already happened. I think we're at like $38.5 trillion. Should put 99% of it. Still, we hit that easy.

Yeah, should have gone higher. Perhaps, you know, what's the root cause analysis? Were we looking at the prospect of Doge and savings at the time? We were hoping, I don't think, Doge had definitely not been in yet, but they were talking about a lot of cuts. Doge was a surprise attack on, like, day one of the administration. Yeah. They never said a word on it.

This is January 9th, so it was still a week and a half. Yeah. I do feel like, gosh, I don't have it pulled up right now. I could get it pretty quick. It would have taken a reduction of the annual deficit to hit this goal. And that definitely did not happen. And it, like you said, I think I consider this almost a miss, even though they gave us a grade here because we did technically hit it pretty soundily.

actually. But in retrospect, yeah, we should put like a 95% chance, not 85. 85 is still pretty high and we hit it easily. Yep. Yep. I might, I would go much higher on that same bet at, you know, well, it depends on the figure you give me, but right. I'll probably do the same one as a benchmark next month. What's next? Yep, exactly. Next up, a lot of financial things and it kind of all rings in the same boat. Will there be a U.S. bail out of more than one trillion dollars, which is like Lehman Brother or bigger, great financial crisis or COVID-ish? This was one where I forgot who said what, we could look it up, but not really need to.

Our consensus was about a 17.5% chance or a 1 in 5, 1 in 6 chance. But it didn't happen. That there would be one, meaning we thought there was very. unlikely to be a bailout which goes hand in hand with what we just talked about and that was true no bailouts and i think we discussed that bailouts can come in many forms right subsidies to farmers is effect effectively a bailout of a kind so you know and they're working on doing that right this month so i don't know i don't know if it's not going to be a trillion but we didn't see a trillion financial sector bailout that no yeah all right

I know we don't want to leak into 2024 predictions, but before I forget, I did track how those continued on for the second year for 25. And the one that we hit out of the park for that, that has continued even more, is interest rate cuts. It seemed unlikely there to be interest rate cuts. We said there would be, and they would continue. And guess what? The Fed cut interest rates last week.

So interest rates continue to be cut. We were calling that a year and a half ago, two years ago. um and that does not show up in 2025 we actually we just didn't do that we didn't do that because it was already being cut and kind of obvious yeah exactly kind of missed the boat but we called but my boy did i just kind of saying that we kicked ass a little bit before that already called it out got the credit for what it's worth all right attempt on trump's life a public assassination attempt and i will say 2025 is not over yet so we're not absolutely locking these in for any of this stuff.

Obviously, Trump's life don't want that to happen, but any of this stuff, not locked in 100%, but 17.5% chance Trump, you know, another assassination of Butler or equivalent attempt. And did not happen. So what do you think? Would you change that number? Have you seen the new U.S. Secret Service

recruiting commercial? No. It's just full of stud. like people that would obviously be highly valuable to protect anybody it's actually a good commercial so you know one year later he has control of a secret service that was problematic to say the least in Butler so I think I think this number is declining but it never goes zero the other you wouldn't get a secret service if it did right 17 and a half is

Boy, where I'm sitting tonight, I might do the same number again next month. I don't think you can go lower than that any particular year with Trump. Here's a question for you. I don't think it changes a lot, president to president. Well, I was going to ask what your floor would be for any president. It would be like 5% would be the absolute lowest, right? Because one in 20 chance for an attempt? No, not in this lifetime, not in this environment.

Not in the modern society. No way will ever get that low again. 10%. the population is too large and the insanity the political violence potential it's as high as the 60s it's much higher than the 60s even but they got so much crowdsourcing data surveillance I don't know although the infrastructure of surveillance and security to prevent it yeah I don't know he's got pretty damn good he's out on golf course is constantly if you had a president that was literally a shut in in a bunker and lived that way like maduro right now right then you could probably lower that number right great point actually but he's yes he's not going to be doing that never would have Ukraine ceasefire by April this is something in 24 that hit and also hit in 25 no Ukraine ceasefire this one says by April I think

maybe that was a mistake or a typo because I'm pretty sure we said by end of the year but maybe we said by April I should go fact check that let me go look at the no I think we did April and I think we did we did April why did we do that April you think because that was the target that Trump was set for himself oh yeah that makes sense yeah every time I've questioned the transcript it does come back and it was correct so and I think given what we know and the just the loss of territory and material and most importantly just loss of Ukrainian soldiers that that that wasn't a bad number just the you know there's there's certain people that are dead set to not accept um seating territory to russia

like that it's going to take a while that come to terms of that so one and three i guess it's a fair chance what do you think uh we don't need to do the prediction show for next year. One and three is like another good repeatable one possibly. I think it's one and three at any given moment. And, you know, it's all the spotlight of the world is on the, you know, the regime in Ukraine, right? And I'd really like to see, like, you know, a ceasefire, not a peace agreement,

but a ceasefire in conjunction with a referendum in Ukraine. I mean, honestly, the people should vote. People should vote on what they decide to do. So I'm not going to share. my screen for this portion but I did ask for two key excerpts from the January episode of Patriot Power Hour

about the Ukraine ceasefire at about one hour and five minutes into that episode Future Dan says a truce a ceasefire dot dot dot that's relatively stable like the kind to end the Korean War something like that within 90 days

low chance I'll go 40% and then I said Polymarket has that 30% I think 30% is about right. But that's a very short time. A ceasefire by April, that's very short is what I said. So 35%. So yeah, that's what we said.

Pretty cool how we could search that so fast. It has the time stamp. You're going to have to get some clips sometime. I need the AI to start pulling some audio clips for me. I won't do it quite yet. But I'll get that. If we had revisited this same prediction in June, probably would have been around 20%.

And then, you know, it ebbs and it flows. But, you know, it's a contest between world powers, right? It's not resolving quickly. Now, here is something that totally threw me off. And this is the biggest miss I think I've ever had a Patriot Power hour. But I also say I was about a decade early on it. So I'd rather be a decade early than a month late. And that's the price of silver, which we thought the gold prediction was crazy.

silver absolutely out of control since january 9th tripled from that number wo buddy so on january 9th where was it i just had it right here i thought january 9th 2025 silver closed at 30 dollars an ounce it's at like 63 bucks 64 right now so more than doubled in the last year we said there was a 40% chance it could go under 20 And I fact-checked this with the transcript previously. We did say that. You were like, what? I couldn't believe I said it.

You thought, what? We couldn't have been, like, thinking that way. But we were. I don't, exactly. It seems so crazy, but just in the last year. This improves our ability to do this. I'm actually interested in the bottom half of this list to expose, like, how we got to that and how we missed it a little bit. Yeah, exactly.

And my saving grace, or maybe just an excuse, is I thought silver would be 50 or 60 bucks back in like 2013. So I was already big time into silver, haven't sold one single ounce. Wish I bought a lot more when it was 20, 30, 40 bucks. But very happy with where it's at. We'll talk about silver and gold a lot for 2026 outlook, considering they doubled or more in the last year. What will they do in 2026? We'll talk about that future day in. Might as well round out with silver.

We thought there would be a 25% chance that silver would be greater than 50 bucks. So what, this is a lot of volatility. We said there was a very good chance it would go low and a pretty good chance would go really high. I actually, I looked at the transcript and I was like, I think it's going to just kind of middle around, but I could see it crashing again. If we have a massive stock market crash, it could crash. Remember, in COVID, silver crashed to like 12 or 3. 13 bucks for a short time.

Yeah. So that's really what we were baking in there. But anyway, yeah. It's considered a big miss on the Breyer's score. The silver was big miss, both up and down, you know, is what it is. And Bitcoin, funny enough, the biggest miss was we thought there would be a 15% chance that Bitcoin would crash below 60,000. At the time, Bitcoin was 92,000.

Right now it's like 88, 89,000. It was 93,000 over this last weekend. So it's pretty much flat in the last year. It's also up like 6x in the last few years. But it was flat. They gave us long short, short, we gave it a very high chance it would be above 150K and a very high chance it would be under 60K. But it was neither of those.

You mean very low? Yes. We thought it'd go very low or very high, but it actually was flat. And so we missed. If we had bet on this, we would have lost money big time. We bet it to go high. We bet it to go low. We did not bet for it to just stay where it was.

No, we said it was a low chance it would go low. Only a 15% chance it would go low. That's pretty high. You know, not super high. We thought it was a 72.5% chance it would be above 150. I would stick on number 10 on this list today. I would still keep a 15% on that. Now I think, yeah.

If you started all over again because it round tripped, well, I guess to finish the thought, it was at a high of 120, 130K, so at that point, there was almost no chance. How is it ramping up right before we made that prediction? What did the curve on Bitcoin look like? Were we in a kind of, you know, in a mania there? Were we like bidding on orchids or tulips? Can you get us a chart of January Bitcoin price, January 2025? I could.

I remember specifically, though. at the election early November it went from about 50 to 70k by Christmas it was up to 100k and it dropped a little bit to this mid to low 90s so at this time it had already hit 100,000 by January the last year but just a little bit since then it hit all-time highs all summer

was kicking ass but dropped a fair amount I guess oh my point is we missed if you aggregate the 72 and a half percent chance that it would be above 150 and the 15 percent chance that it would drop a lot

I mean we put all of our eggs in those baskets we lost that's all right bitcoin's volatile as hell that's why I don't trade it feature Dan even though you can make money I just I just hold on to it and eventually it'll go up as the goal

just sit on it sit on come on let me see a chart you we don't have to present it explained it to you were probably no i was i just want to know in january what i got like what screens open right what direction was ahead what direction was it down it was going down slightly when we made that 72 yes point five it was it was coming off of highs yeah what did it done earlier you know this time last year i'm pulling it when was the big spike you know up to the you know it's all the time high last in like the summer there we go summer 24 summer 25 all right here we go since the election i'm not going to show this election 2024 i'm just looking at this with him folks what january of 25 is what

the environment that we were in when we made that prediction is what i'm interested in yeah right after the election to set the stage bitcoin's 75 k By January, it's up to 97K. It had hit a high of 101,000 right before Christmas and then dropped to 93. That's psychological. It broke the sixth figure. After inauguration, it went to 107. Yeah.

But our prediction was between 100 and 107. No, our prediction was 150,000 or under 60,000. Right, but when did we make it? The point is when... On January 9th. Yeah, between what prices? At 97,000. Okay.

Between 100K and 95K. And it later hit what this year? 120. I was 122. Yeah. So we saw a rise coming just not as big as we predict. Exactly. That was what we just spent the last two minutes trying to say.

So anyway, there's our predictions for 2025 graded, best to worst, using a statistical method. The Breyer score. Really cool. There's other statistical methods out there. And I think we're going to try to capture a couple extra fields or let's just say more detailed predictions for 2026 so we can grade them a little more closely next year. Yeah. So we'll make that a point.

Ideally, we can have some actual real money at stake in prediction markets. True. We do want to get into polymark. We were talking about polymarket as, well, even. earlier than January 9th, but we talked about it. Are we still getting pumped out on a wait list? I don't know, man. I don't think they're adding people.

I think we're getting screwed here. I bet you they cut lawsuits, like from Connecticut or something. Yeah, stop action or whatever they call. Like, not season desist per se. I-BKR forecasting

is still running. It doesn't have as risque, you know, wild predictions. It's a little tamer but um it's out there we got to do something we got to something because the scores i'm seeing here i think we can hedge some things and uh generate a little show revenue so the overall scored analysis by chat cheap t is that we did quite well we solidly outperformed and really the only thing we screwed up on was the silver and bitcoin which for

a decade almost we've been harping on buying and buying and buying it just took so long but it's almost like by the time it was ready to it's almost reverse capitulation by the time we stopped thinking it would go up is when it actually finally went up but you know that's why can't let your human emotions get in the way sometimes let me run on this list of 10 i'm gonna tell you what i'm okay what i what i think we did well what i think we could have done have at it so you know number one number two but we did those well what are number one and number two for the listeners the gold over three grand an ounce crushed within the year and um choosing the negative on will a top ten u.s bank fail we said no anybody who would say gold would go that high and then no failure

like we made it such a great prediction there yeah and they and they contrasts with each other you know they're balanced but we did well there um I think where it wasn't that good is Bitcoin and silver. Yeah, exactly. Kind of influenced by perhaps our own positions in it or our own hopes at what will happen. So kind of as an after-action review using this scoring methodology, I think I'm going to, you know, recommend our consensus predictions in January a little differently on the financials. Okay.

we'll have to look at that procedure and think about it over the holidays over Christmas over New Year's it is December 16th, 2025. We will not be having a show next week. Of course we will be ready if there's some sort of crazy emergency we will be broadcasting or at least doing

some offline daily audio cash type situation if any listeners have a suggestion on predictions they'd like us to attempt to make with a confidence level. Yes, I love it. be willing to look at those i'm kind of interested ben in having 2006 predictions in in kind of two stages where there's what what percent on a one year time horizon and then

the same event happening on a two year and doing so like you dual it up like two confidence levels to give a directionality right you know what's what's my percent chance i think there'll be a ceasefire in Ukraine in the entirety of 2006 and then do it again for 2007 see the difference well do anything else to say about the predictions or should we get into the dashboard for the week oh what about um silver analysis we got that coming we could get into the silver analysis I know you have special silver analysis I do it's on interesting enough I figure we get to the news but you're ready with that first you want to hit the dashboard and then take a break and see what happens then with

you know getting right into the nitty gritty of silver pricing straight up in the nitty gritty i say we hit a break first folks we'll come back from a break hit the silver analysis hit the news call it a season sound like a plan let's do it all right be right back food storage and preservation are at the heart of self-reliance our sponsor PackFresh USA features made in America products.

Looking at the heat map dashboard at future danger.com, call them one, Ben. Powerful pedophiles exposed. Will it happen? This is grade, you know, one just topical it's not you know you know any powerful pedophiles being exposed yet but it's a fact the house oversight committee chair postpones the ex-president bill clinton and ex-secretary

of state Hillary clinton's depositions on the epstein review threatens condemned if they don't show up in january column two security last security news actually um We've got big flooding out in Washington State, and suspected looters are using kayaks. Never heard of that before. Kayaks to Rob Holmes. I'm sure people are using boats and Katrina, but they're doing it with kayaks, the police say, up in Washington State. It's a form of rioting. Russia lands two nuclear bombers in Venezuela amid pressure from the U.S. on the Venezuelan regime.

News tonight, Ben. Trump announces that there's a complete blockade of oil tankers into Venezuela if they are sanctioned, which is tantamount to the same situation we've had for several years, but he's going to actually enforce it. So it's not a full blockade, not an act of war, still judicial, quasi-judicial right there. New York City mayor-elect suggests that the New York Police Department, may arrest ICE agents enforcing federal law certainly would be grounds for an insurrection declaration. Breaking yesterday, the Turtle Island Liberation Front.

Heard of them? No. Their members were arrested for plotting coordinated Los Angeles bombings on New Year's Eve. Apparently they got tracked out to the desert where they were rehearsing and setting off explosives that they had made. improvised explosive devices. The Turtle Island Liberation Front.

I'm not sure that's brutal political violence, but I mean, it is where it is. It rates on the heat map dashboard. U.S. military conducts massive buildup in Puerto Rico throughout the Caribbean. Presidential address tomorrow night, prime time. Trump will address the nation and is not releasing what that is about.

The admiral in charge of Southern Command. retires two years early that was announced several weeks ago that that would happen well it did happen now and um u.s. answers China by sending a pair of nuclear capable bombers over the sea of Japan this is after the new Japanese prime minister is breaking taboos and what Japan is considered allowed to be able to say about self-defense relative to China some some you know covenants and conventions of what leaders say in Asia she didn't care and uh china acted up and the u.s air force nuclear bombers are on patrol u.s. special ops intercept chinese military shipment headed to iran that's several months ago but it has been

released so ship seizures all all around the world probably classified there those are going on and that was Chinese military equipment not a Chinese flagged ship but it was a Chinese export to Iran and FBI made an arrest of the purported

J6 pipe bomber apparently the person has obvious mental disability put two and two together Ben that's rating hot on the false flag exposed if it's true bring it back up to economics we got a little bit more news than usual unemployment rate hits

four-year high today home prices go negative have been doing so in several markets but that's national now so two poignant pieces of economic news I'd like to hear from you about after we wrap up the heat map dashboard blitzkrieg because we got one more column clusters of quakes in northern California happened fourth straight day earthquake swarms check out the weekly volcanic activity report from around the globe that's it we got Liberty related news we got security news we got economic news and we got natural news where do you want to take it great read of the news blitz man it's actually one of the highest

volume of the season no SHTF level But we do have some pretty severe and just a lot of quantity. Let's just start with the most, I guess, most active column, security. Not really severe. Like the least severe, pretty much on average it can be. A lot of green. There's a topical news. Got a couple yellows in an orange, though, in the security side.

You got a bunch of topical. I guess you got a lot of topical, but, you know, it's not all topical, especially the, you know. Venezuela's situation. We'll see how that turns out. It could be totally different in two weeks from now. Yeah, any of them could crack into a crisis that would bring back Patriot Power Hour during the end of this month when we plan to take a break. We'll be back. Any one of these could be a crisis in no time.

Right. Well, Admiral in charge of Southern Command retiring a little early. U.S. military massive buildup in Puerto Rico. Do we know where Trump's giving the speech from where we know nothing about it? I thought I heard the Oval Office. Okay. Okay. So that would be Thursday night, the 17th of December, or excuse me, Wednesday night, the 17th of December.

You know what time? I'm definitely going to set my calendar. It's at prime time. Okay. Eight or nine, something like that. Yep, they usually go for, I'll be on the lookout any time after seven. I bet it'll be like 8.30 or 9. Eastern, of course.

Any. I could talk about a lot of. different topics do you want me to just pick one or you guys you want to build a narrative on your end no go right into it something here is uh got going to peak your interest in any moment i just know it well unemployment in real estate we'll just knock that out yeah we're going to keep watching that as it evolves but we're seeing more signs of negative economic growth plus ongoing uh negative growth i haven't seen that We think we're going to get a negative GDP.

Trump procession? I don't know about that. We call it less growth, a decreasing rate of growth, if the unemployment rate is going up. When's the GDP number come? There's got to be one coming soon. End of the quarter, right? That'll be, that'd be January, won't it? They do it more like February, probably.

We could ask, we could ask the Grand Oz, but usually it's two weeks delay. And the Fed has survey. So we can look at what they think the GDP is all the time, right? Is that Atlanta, St. Louis Fed? One of them does it. They got all types of reports. A bunch of feds speak garbage. I mean, at best you can say plateau is bobbing along, I guess, with interest cuts as well.

So it's got a tailwind. Maybe things can stay afloat or keep growing a little bit. But if things stay stagnant with interest rate cuts, That's a huge problem. But interest cuts are coming with that headline. It's already happened. What are we down? 75 basis points or a whole 100?

1%? Coming again in January. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's already baked in that there's going to be more. So that'll be like another 25 or 50. So they've cut rates 1.5% in the last year. Year and a half it will be. So late January is the first estimate of Q4 GDP, second estimate.

second estimates a month later, which would be late February, and early March is usually the actual Q4. And, of course, nobody measured any of that for October and September. So there's a lot of freedom for a lot of narratives to take hold in the next several weeks economically. It could get a bit of a disarray, like lots of people saying the opposite of each other, I think. I don't know if that amounts to anything dangerous. But without that data, that anchors everybody, when that goes missing, it's maximally politicized.

The numbers are now. Whoa, I'll say this. In the last two business days, our total public debt outstanding went from $38.3 trillion to $38.42 trillion. So, yeah, every week or so, 50. or $100 billion added to the national debt. That ain't stopping any time soon. That's what I care about. The GDP number, yeah, we'll see.

We'll see what it says. Not too impressed by what they ever put out on that. But it's not ShtF level on those articles, but worth watching. I'm more looking at what's going to happen in Venezuela and any other, you know, Is anything escalating with China and Taiwan in the past year? That's a good question for you. Or do you think, is it less likely there will be an attack in the future more likely or the same compared to January? Oh, I'm doing predictions, though.

I mean, just evaluating how it's gone over the last year. Do you think it's less likely there would be an attack or more or nothing's really changed? Because we have, you know, nuclear capable bombers over the sea of Japan. We got Trump, no nonsense, Trump. So maybe that means there's less likely. China will screw around than January 9th? The first thing coming in my mind on this particular question

is there's a public now program. The U.S. Army would be the first armed service with a hypersonic missile. Like a piece of equipment. Not an experiment, not a prototype. It's like that's the first gen

hypersonic, you know, missiles. That's public. what the Navy and the Air Force has and has had is you're going to be significant and classified they don't want anybody to know how fast they move and how well they perform right total top secret as it should be right because soon as somebody knew anything about that it it can be countered right so the Chinese are staring down the barrel of of that kind of technology no they're not going to they're not going to risk it with an armed force and this armed forces is getting it's getting purged it's getting purged there's trump and hexeter cutting back on the number of

generals and admirals and and and just driving out people like this south comp commander who couldn't take an order so trying to seize that russia does too what about russian landing to nuclear bombers in venezuela it seemed like they weren't going to support venezuela that much do you think they're standing by and just going to let this happen or are they shipping in anti-air missiles as we speak the Russian playbook for how to you know fly in to some place that you know we're putting pressure on militarily and diplomatically that they they got three ring binders buildings full of them on everything they could do to mess that up for the United States not sure where you were in terms of your education, what you're thinking and listening to in the ramp up to the invasion of Iraq, right?

The weapons of mass destruction, the UN Security Council, Colin Powell, and all that. But it seems pretty clear that the Russians helped set up, it seems clear to me at least, that the Russians set up enough circumstantial evidence and helped get that into the hands of the U.S. intelligence. just so right before the invasion, their special operators could go in and remove all the traces. Remember all those chemical attacks in Syria? I was in high school. I believed everything.

But recently, during Obama, remember all the chemical attacks? Yes. Who's to say those weren't like out of the, you know, Hussein regime, right? So, you know, that was clearly credited with being, you know, Russians. in Baghdad on the eve of our invasion of Iraq and helping Saddam Hussein, but also helping themselves. The same thing. Same thing here with Maduro.

Put two bombers down there and, you know, no one's going to do anything that night. And it goes to the entire world that looks at that and says, Russia's standing up to the United States. That's their foreign policy. They do that stuff. It's demonstration of force with strategic assets. So they're not just letting Venezuela. hang out to dry they're still trying to at least leverage them for their own purposes but they're

not actually going to like help defend obviously i don't know cubans might okay what could the cuban military do cuban miltuban special operations and intelligence services have propped up this regime right maduro and the and the dictator before him like they wouldn't be there. It wouldn't be running Venezuela without Cuban you know making it happen. Cuban security forces are the protection of these leaders.

So for Russia and I guess even more for Cuba you're saying are they going to just like cut and run I guess someone out there like ah we got no hope we're getting you know we fold you're done Maduro we're just going to let you fry no no no they will not do that is what you're saying

Cuba for the for the ability to control its own populace and Russia would love nothing more than to see the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit occupied downtown Caracas tonight. They'd love for us to blunder into that. Really? All right. Yeah.

Yeah. There's no solidarity with Venezuela. I mean there's no reason at all for Trump to do that. You could argue in the 80s when the Soviet Union existed that it was ideological, right? The Soviets wanted, you know, the Nicaraguan's. to help bring about worldwide revolution, right? That made sense then. Now, the only thing the Russian government cares about

is the preservation of the Russian government and Cuba, too. Those dictatorships want to be preserved. They will throw Maduro's regime under the bus to come along with a lifetime of talking points, a lifetime of young Russians and young Cubans that could be taught how bad the United States was. Look what they did in 2025. So, all right, what's Trump going to do then?

Can't invade, better not invade. I'll be pissed if he invades by land. Just hit him over the top. Pressure economically, cyber attacks, hit him. There won't be a declaration of war from Congress, but if there's a declaration of war from Congress, I'd say top of that regime tonight, tonight. Knock them right out of there, but do it constitutionally, have a vote.

But that won't backfire in the way you just said for Venezuela and Russia? No. If the Marines were in Caracas. Maduro would be sitting next to Noriega. So we should do that. If there's a declaration of war. Okay. And the odds of that happening are very low, right?

Zero. Zero. Unless somehow Venezuela lashed out and sunk the Ford aircraft carrier, I guess that might do it. definitely don't want that to happen all right well we're building through the game theory working through our model what's actually going to happen in the next week what month or by the time we're on air unless it's an emergency could be the same thing we've got now it's been a few weeks and you did say they can stand by indefinitely and they can so I study international relations in college is like what I was interested in so I did it and part of

that's because I've always paid attention to this in the news I and and it goes back I'll date myself here but I remember the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and I was a little kid when that happened I was a little kid when the Iranians took our embassy in in Tehran right and what I remember most is that it was just this big deal that adults were talking about right and that was you know before Reagan even got in right and when he got in people were very concerned about you know the potential for the world war three with the soviets right so i pay attention to that stuff it interested me but what i learned is that none of this resolves fast and the networks when i was a kid i remember like every night on the nightly news in our living room they'd be talking about the soviet invasion of afghanistan but then after a month it's like what happened to that i don't hear about it anymore well they were there for 10 years but it just fell off of the media's interest right Right. So this too. We could see, we could see, you know, the U.S. Navy could, you know, quasi blockade Venezuela for the next three years. It's just like a new permanent, semi-permanent port. It's not like it's far away from the U.S.

Yeah, quasi, you know, embargo. I got to believe that they're, you know, whoever's bringing those boats, they're hitting them up, you know, on the eastern Pacific now, right? But they're going to run out of drugboats at some point, I can't imagine. All right. Well, domestic, whether it's insurrection declared, it's topical, New York mayor, trying to get things rolling on his end. We have the Turtle Island Liberation Front arrested for coordinated L.A. bombings. I mean, we've seen a little bit of an uptick of shootings. We had shooting in Brown. We had the shooting, of course, in Australia.

I don't know. Other hosts here on PBN talking about, you know, Islamic Terror on the rise. I don't see much here in the news, but we don't have it in the U.S., I guess. Any thoughts on that? All I could tell you, I was in the Army on September 11th, and after several, hours our commander came down and briefed us and said you know the next thing that everybody's worried about is you know car bombs in Iowa at schools like if this could happen to our aircraft in this way then get ready this might be jihad

across the heartland right never happened never even came close to happening right never even never that was stopped all of those or there was just was really no threat or why boy it sure land credence to the idea that 9-1-1 was an inside job if it wasn't an inside job you tell me it was such a fluke that they pulled that off and then all of our security just got naturally just got better talk about a briars score that's a zero point zero zero zero zero zero one it'd be perfectly impossible almost to not have that happen but uh yeah we don't go down that but that's how i look at it like iranian sleep or so

Iranian sleeper cells where all the fear you know sleeper cells were supposed to fear where where'd they go when when Israel basically obliterated the Iranian Air Force and most you know went after their government leaders last summer there were no Iranian and I felt like that was just as equal of a threat of the home or the heartland being hit didn't happen didn't happen didn't happen didn't have happen now I'm sure there have been some cells that have been busted or prevented and I'm sure there's a lot of law enforcement and even feds doing great stuff out there but I also wonder how could we not even have hundreds of shootings per 9-11 so you're going to tell me we have like the most advanced complex pulled it out of their ass dozens of people involved but we're not having one or two shooters going out and shooting up malls like weekly that does not compute and that's exactly what we're talking about here. Not that we want that to happen. Do you foresee that ever changing? Are you still thinking that's a non-starter?

Do I foresee what exactly changing? That there will be some sort of like attack the heartland, attack, you know, whether it's a jihad or some sort of unleash, or do you think that's just essentially impossible at this point because now the security state and surveillance is in effect, but maybe it wasn't in 2000. I put something like that on a low percentage confidence chance that will happen. 26. It's never

zero. It's always possible. It's just a matter of how effective could it be? What we've learned is that anybody in the Middle East that wants to bring jihad to the United States of America has not been able

to organize secretly enough to mount a threat. And that's what we're supposed to believe on 9-11 happened. And, you know, there's still a percent of chance of that all happened the way the narrative went, right? that's one case of potential reality can't ignore that that's theoretically possible to happen that way but the chances that they were allowed to let that happen you know it was a it was a lie hop

seemed far stronger it's never a zero chance though certainly no shortage of people that would love to try it if they could now give you that exactly that people don't want to do it I do believe they want to do it or do worse all right we're talking about economics We're talking about security, foreign, and domestic, powerful pedophiles exposed. I hardly even want to talk about that crap, but anything you want to hit on that article about the House Oversight Committee Chairman postpones ex-president, ex-secretary of state depositions threatens contempt. They don't show up in January, so that is word talking about.

Who knows what Trump's going to say tomorrow night? That crap ain't going to actually happen. I don't believe it, though. Who's sitting there thinking, what could he possibly know and say? say tomorrow night to the nation right you never know one week before Christmas Eve let's go let's go you never know I better not be disappointed that's all I guess I there must be some bets out there on prediction markets about what is the topic of the speech it's got to be let's go look yeah so probably the leading issue is I don't know Ukraine and Venezuela are

probably top one and two. I can try different ways to sort it. It is sorted by volume. We could do by volume, I guess. Elon, this is kind of a junk one. How many tweets is Elon going to do? Who cares?

Just search for Trump speech. Trump's speech. It's not in the top five or ten by volume for what it's worth, but let's see. Well, it would be pretty new. But if it's like such a big deal, Everyone might just like, I don't see it. Let's just put in speech. I'm going to put in an announcement.

We're ahead of this curve. But there definitely should be some structured contracts on what that topic can be. Right. Of course, you know, everybody's going to just naturally assume that the entire Trump family knows and places thousands of micro bets to avoid detection. Right. So this entire prediction market thing, it's going to be wild because the insider trading accusations, you were making them last. week right yeah that's some some of these things people are going to be screaming are unfair to allow to people to bet knowing that insiders can automatically enrich themselves and my attitude

the same as last week you know just let let let let let let let let's i fair let it be don't put your money there if you have a problem with it it is up to you to really understand what constitutes a victory or a win. That's what's cool about the Polly Market. I mean, it explicitly states what the rules are. For example, will Russia announce a Christmas truce? I just randomly clicked to this. At some point,

it was a 40% chance earlier today. It's been bet down to 12%. If we had found that 30, 40%, we could have made a killing, possibly. But the rules for this, is by January 7th,

2026th. Is that because the Russian Christmas is later? It's not on the same calendar? It does talk about Orthodox Christmas. The January 23 unilateral Orthodox Christmas ceasefire order, which did occur, is an example of qualifying announcement.

So, for some reason, someone really thought that was going to happen. The market corrected, but there's only been $41,000 bet on this. So if you put a thousand, dollars on this you would affect the odds heavily but anyway yeah we tell everybody's off their wait list and they're actually allowed to I know that's so they want trust me they want everybody in here ASAP they get a little skim of every bet but um apparently uh

that ain't happened quite oh I just found it they're market makers oh no this is here we go what what will Trump say I says that could be it because of the soldiers killed only $967 have been placed so far this is a brand new bet literally as we're talking about $104 has been put on ISIS, $300 on Venezuela. I said that a few minutes ago. $10 if he says terrible or horrible. This is where you can pick up your pennies. Yeah.

There's a 78% chance. You could bet this up to 99.99.99. But if you bet like $3 on it, that's all you can bet. And that's exactly where an insider trader, like Trump himself could just make an incredible, put a billion on that. That's where the transparency has to come in. Who's betting? Exactly. Now, they do have limits on certain bets.

Like, for example, this one only has a $1,000 volume. You probably can't put a bet bigger than, like, $50 or $100 possible. I see $50,000 and $75,000 and $100,000 on the polymarket X counts all the time. You betting to yourself, though. You should, you know, anyway, I don't want to get into a betting theory. But here it is. We're going to track this. This literally came out, like, while we were talking about it, like, seconds ago, apparently.

So what will Trump say during the address? People are talking about ISIS, Venezuela, big, beautiful bill. These are like words you will say, not necessarily the topic, so it's not that great. Anyway. Well, that's the only way to do it, though. You have to have an outcome where the word comes out of his mouth. If he implies things, people fight over what he implied. No, he has to speak the word.

He's going to say all those words. So they all should be like 98%. It's kind of boring. You don't think he'll say Venezuela or ISIS or something? you make more money if you bet blanket down every single one like take $100 and split it across all of those equally you think you'll do better than if you leave a few out i scroll down that possibly i don't think he's going to say anything about the big beautiful bill i don't okay i would say no on that too um inflation the election he's i don't think he can't say

apparently he's been digging into election fraud okay that might be an announcement then but he's not going to directly talk about the midterms but if he uses the word election yeah yeah i think that bet should be election fraud uh artificial intelligence boy i don't know if he's going to get on there it's supposed to be like the type of presentation like other presidents have made so it's this when the presidents do this from the oval office it's you know usually you think it was like i want to make a statement in a way that Oh, the presidents have in past. Yeah, it's supposed to be like a flashbul thing.

Will he get in there and just go, just talk show, just talk everything? That's what I would think would be mostly. He does it when he's in front of reporters getting asked things. Right. But I don't know if they're going to. That's it, though. He might gather a bunch of people behind the desk, sit at the desk, bring the press pool in, make statements and take questions.

And if that format happens, yeah, I mean, bet on them all. I saw this go from 977 to like 1,100, but then it went back down. I don't know. I'm sure people will be hitting on this soon. It could be delayed. It could be wrong. There could be other similar bets that are coming out. I don't know how to explain it.

But anyway, well, I'll be paying attention for sure. All y'all out there, December 17th, tune in. Yeah, so it could be consequential. Could be related to, is Epstein on that list? Say the word Epstein. What's the present a chance of that? I don't see that as one. Nope.

Not put on here yet. Too controversial? Green news scam. I don't know if people are going to add additional words or how that works, but... I think that's up to the pie market. I figure it would be too. Yeah. Pretty cool.

Pretty cool. All right. It's a new world. It's a brand. new world a i is changing many many things i was listening to a bloomberg report before the show tonight here's here's a long term danger okay that others have already pointed to so we're not the first but this is what the socialists are telling their adherence about a i okay that in the in the in their lifetimes that they're going to get a universal basic income

and should basically just enjoy the productivity of AI and catch a paycheck and work little or not at all. And the idea is that they will achieve, quote, unquote, superintelligence, which will be the new keyword that comes after artificial intelligence. Next level will be super intelligence. And they're going to imply that it's, you know, AI gaining sentience, right?

but hitting a singularity and all that singularity is another way of saying it right but the um but the premise economically is that um it's gonna you know there's there's there's some there's this a point in time where every job will be better performed by machines now this came from a Microsoft executive so i'm calling bullshit on that premise for the rest of my life and the rest of you know many generations of americans lives it's not going to replace work at all but that's what the socialists will be telling their people yeah i've seen that where they're like now the full you know true socialism can be reached with like you said universal basic income or they call it i forgot there's a phrase for it where it's even more than basic income it's

like, you know, essentially everyone's getting the wage of half a million dollars a year in today's dollars. That's what they're trying to say. It'll even be. So they're, you know, they have a carrot, but they even have bigger carrots that they're going to roll out. And they're going to bring forward AI as the missing. The arbiter. Yeah, the distributor and the reason why it was impossible for the Soviet Union to achieve it. But now they have superintelligence so they can distribute it and I I would bet right now that you know the current generations alive today and and future ones in Europe they're gonna try this they're gonna suffer for it it it's our job as Patriots to absolutely

positively never ever ever let that idea take hold the United States because as soon as you lose your rationale for existence to produce something right of value to others you lose part of your core identity and it's it's you know euthanasia mass suicide abortion you know just just not reproducing like solid why bring children in the world to have nothing to do right don't fall for it it's a lie don't fall for even if we were advanced to do it don't fall for but it's like you said it's hundreds of years away by estimation i think it's never a way you think it never a way never a way never It never can be.

It isn't the way we are meant to live. Well, one kind of, to agree with that in a different way is, oh, I had the thought. We're at about an hour and 20 minutes almost. Oh, super intelligence. Super intelligence is the group intelligence of humanity. That's why the markets are so important because that way the market can make the decisions. all the humans distributed network that's as distributed as you can possibly get

everyone has their own opinion it's the biggest super computing network you can have for many years to come it's reality whereas whereas a computer with algorithms and quasi sentient sentience they're going to say that these things are sentient but they'll prove not to be

right they're parroting data in very powerful ways in ways that vastly exceed people's capability to do so without a doubt right this is a profound new technology but it cannot plan a socialist utopia without bringing misery to earth you got to get the resources or something too and you can have all these great plans on a computer but who's going to go dig up the ore process it go refine all the the guy from macrosoft will tell you that's going to be machines well as you've said we got these robots do not have the power source they don't have the batteries they don't have the capabilities

to actually build robots to do this stuff. Okay, it's a Microsoft executive. How widely can somebody use a Microsoft Outlook for a couple of decades and it sucks ass. So I don't know. Right. And hopefully their predictions do too. Yes, yes. All right.

Great show. Anything else who want to hit on or we could put the season into the store. Thank you to all our listeners for all 40 episodes this year with my partner, Ben, the breaker of banksters. Thank you to the audience. Thank you to you. I hope you have a Merry, Merry Christmas, all of you. And I forgot a calendar. Can you pinpoint what, you know, maybe a tentative date for a premiere of 2026?

All right. Well, we got options. I could do a show on New Year's Day, Thursday the first. We've never done that. I would be available as early as that, or we could wait until the next week. the 6th, the 7th, or the 8th. We want to try to have more consistency on the day of the week we do it. I don't know if we have to lock that in right away, but...

We want that? I'm not sure I want it. I kind of want it for our listeners' sake. For us, it's way more... It's way easier to say, ah, we're going Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday. Well, as I've said many times, there... Depends on the news. You see the amount of headlines we have here, right?

You're going to get more the later in the week ago because the news sources have been working to publish things during the week right you always have a less news on Saturdays and Sundays and true so Thursdays always come after the Fed speaks third and then things happen Marcus move so Thursday's a good goal that's that would be January 1st I think we we want to pack in we want to break our 40 episode a year record we should probably start early it'd be our best change right day you think we've done better in the past we I think we've hit like 43 or 44 on previous years i think so i would have to go vet that i'll say this i would you know i took

a few weeks off because i was uh traveling out and about and that definitely hurt us a little bit and then we usually take a week off per season as well so that's already seven or eight of the twelve that we missed so it's not like we're missing any because we didn't feel like it right right all planned ahead knock on wood anyway it was an awesome show an awesome year awesome season and we'll set a new year's resolution to make it back on the first all right that's the plan pencil it in chat gbt put it on my schedule january 1st 2026 patron power hour will be back with episode 331 sound like a plan we'll be back earlier if anything goes wrong goes awry for the prepper broadcasting network community if some of this

turns black on red happening now better believe we'll be back talking talking about and helping people understand what it means you know it great show
