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.com. Patriot Power Hour is live once more.

January 15th, 2026. It's about 639 p.m. Eastern and it's episode 3333. Yeah, 3333.33. I bet in the breaker of banksters here with Future Dan. Future Dan, 333. I don't know. I don't believe in numerology. But that's a lot of episodes.

We got one of the most action-packed ever after last weeks, which was also one of the most action-packed ever. Yeah, there's a lot of news on the heat map dashboard. We're looking at reds and two blacks showing right now. Can you give us an update? I'm going to make it as pithy as possible. We're running through the dashboard right now. We've got people piling into the video.

We're live on Rumble, live on X, live on YouTube, but I know a great majority of folks are on podcasts, so I won't belabor the point. Here we go, Future Danger.com, January 15th, 2026th, midpoint of January. Here we go. Let's start in the economic sphere what I've been focusing on all week. Gold, all-time high, 4,626. Silver, $94, but dropped 8% in one day.

Incredible volatility. We'll be looking at that. is $100 silver on tap. Incredible. Stay tuned to the second half of the show. We'll talk a lot more about silver. Continuing, China announces record trade surplus as its exports, flood world markets.

Generally speaking, stock market flat to slightly below all-time highs. So no market crash, but we are seeing gold, silver. totally crazy right now. Let's look at health and natural news, the fourth column. Mystery virus ravages Cuba, leaving hospitals on verge of collapse, has death toll covered up, and medics are silenced. Congressional Budget Office projects lower than expected American population growth. This under the Natural Family Falls indicator.

We have your weekly volcanic activity report always tracking volcanoes, earthquakes, major floods. But thankfully, no serious natural disasters worldwide on the dashboard. So we've hit two of the four columns, but we're less than 20% of the way through because these last couple columns, especially the geopolitical column. well, actually it's a security column, geopolitics plus domestic security, and the domestic might be outweighing international. So we'll leave that for the very end. In the meantime, let's go to the Liberty column,

not to be poo-poohed by any means. We have what is actually the first time we've ever seen this indicator in a decade on future days. danger and like eight years on this podcast. This is the indicator accused suffered trial by alien jury. And for the first time ever, this has activated. And it's activated at the highest grade as well. Michigan County Clerk discovers 239 foreign aliens.

We're selected for jury duty over a four-month period. not four years, not four decades, four months, 239 foreign aliens selected for jury duty. And of those 239, 14 were registered to vote. So we got some election voter fraud too. So accused suffered trial by an alien jury, by not a jury of your peer citizens. Wow.

Incredible. California restricts free speech of California's own lawyers, facing contempt threat, Clinton's refused to testify in the Epstein query. So that all we've talked about right now, we can spend easily an hour on deep diving, but

from the geopolitical and the domestic security, which we're about ready to go through, I mean, wow. So many articles and they're all high level, essentially. Let's just start from the top. This under the insurrection declared indicator,

Not absolutely declared yet, but creep in there. Philly Sheriff and DA threatened to arrest ICE officers. So sheriffs and DAs going after ICE officers. That's the insurrection. President threatens to use the Insurrection Act to end riots in Minneapolis. Pretty much breaking news. The last 24 hours or today, some more developments. We'll come back to geopolitical and talk about NATO.

under riots erupt several articles more than a thousand anti-immigration enforcement protests to take place across America ice vehicle rammed agent hospitalized in san Antonio federal agents deploy tear gas in minnesota ice agents shoot shovel-wielding venezueling venezuelan and north minneapolis anti-ice riders drive recklessly through neighborhoods run traffic lights hunting ice Minneapolis. I was kind of joking about how I was going to be so cold to riot, but not right now, apparently. We got a lot going on with foreign black ops,

but let's keep it domestic right now. Continuing to scroll down, dozens of military lawyers deploying to Minneapolis amid immigration crackdown. That's an SHTF level under mega police operations conducted. We'll review all of these in detail. again, dozens of military lawyers deploying to Minneapolis

amid immigration crackdown. Immigrant Secret Service agent leaks the vice president's travel details, Vance. Now, I will skim through everything to make sure I didn't miss anything. I believe that was all the domestic. If I did, we'll review again with future Dan,

but let's go. not to just the domestic threats, but foreign, yes, foreign enemy and domestic, you know, all that. We got a lot of forward stuff going on as well, as my point. Chinese billionaire faces House subpoena over alleged communist-linked network, fueling anti-ice protests. So that's a combination, right? We're international meets domestic. Chinese billionaire, yeah, alleging that the communist.

this link network is fueling anti-IIS protests. We've talked about this, but now there's a house subpoena about it. U.S. Navy sailor, Xin Xia Wei, sentenced to 16 years in prison for selling secrets to China. After being encouraged to do so by mother, selling military secrets. North Korea, Downs a South Korean drone. That happened just after our most recent episodes.

So worth noting, North Korea did. shoot down South Korean drone. What else we got? The NATO. This is low level, but worth noting, of course. France and Germany send only squads to Greenland for joint exercise with several European countries. My point is, and Future Dan can elaborate on this,

France and Germany are only sending some squads to Greenland. They're not sending the full military there, meaning they're not really. serious about defending. I don't know. I want to get his opinion and thoughts on Greenland overall. I think that's the full dashboard. I don't know. It was so much, but I ran through it future Dan. What do you think? Did I miss any offhand?

And what's going on in Greenland? Maybe we should just start there. Yeah. There's a headline about looting an ice vehicle as well that was in the riding stack. But same, same, really. What do you want to know about Denmark? Denmark's military. What's going on? Like what is, I don't even know what is going on.

Level set with me here. Yeah. Vance and Rubio met with the Danish foreign minister and made an offer on the island yesterday. Okay. Monetary offer. And simultaneously, France and Germany announced. troop deployments, which amounted to, you know, 10 or 20 soldiers, at least from Germany. France might do something different, but, you know, symbolically, you know, sending reinforcements to Greenland.

And, yeah, it goes under the, you know, the indicator of NATO dissolving. And whether you want the United States to be in NATO or not, NATO dissolving, would be very dangerous. So Greenland is owned by Denmark. Correct. Yeah. Colonial territory. Are we going to annex it if they refuse the offer, I guess, is the question.

What Trump does about Greenland, only he knows next, really. I got to feel like we'll get a lot more of that in future episodes, but we've got a hell of a lot going on right now. Where did you want to start? you got one. It is. It seems like a tactic to, you know, further consume all of the, you know, the news cycle, right? So.

Oxygen in the room, the news cycle, control that. If one person can do that better than anyone in the history of the world is, Trump. Yeah. Europeans might easily think that that's what's happening to. That's why I wanted to level set, because I've not been paying attention to it, because I've been paying attention to everything else on this dashboard practically. I've been hearing about Denmark, but I was like, I don't really, you know, it seems kind of out of this world. And during the Cold War in 1955, the joint chiefs of staff, and in 1955, you know, it was the army and the new Air Force and the Navy, right?

And they were pretty independent of each other in those days, much, much more integrated to much, much better effect. now militarily, but back then they were somewhat, you know, sovereign services, right? But they all agreed that the three things, there's three things that the United States should do about Greenland. And this memo, it just, I just saw it on X just the other night. So it was, you know, pretty interesting history. And you know what those three options are? Take a guess of what the Joint Chiefs in 1955 said. that what the united states should do about greenland in 1955 that was dr strange love time so i would

say you know either invade it or fully irradiate it or uh no no no no no we're talking about we're talking about uh you know territory of a nato member in the middle of the cold war right No, nothing in Hollywood. No, it was all transactional. Guess what the transactions were going to be, the recommendations. No idea. Give it to us or else we don't get the nuclear umbrella. Buy it, lease it or lease pieces of it.

And the memo says title to it is the absolute best option. So Trump's effectively just dusting off a policy that was proposed by the military in 1955. I've been executing on it. Okay. I guess I was like thinking about war plans or what to do because it's all about strategic resources and countering Russia over the Arctic, right? Blah. No.

No. No. No. What's it for it in? Missile defense. Missile command. Play missile command. That's shooting down the, hitting the Soviet ICBMs at their zenith at their apex, right at the highest

height of the trajectory putting them right up there we got Alaska with Greenland you kind of have you know the bullhorns around Canada and you can defend it I guess I figured they already did this like long ago but I guess not we have no we we signed treaties to not do anti-ballistic missiles besides the cap of the but besides Moscow and Washington DC nowhere we're either side allowed to have them and pretty much followed it, right? Like in the last 20 years, I guess. But you're right.

I guess there was no reason to really dig up Greenland until now. Well, and also it was done, right? One of the famous experiments up in Greenland by the United States Army was to try to build a base for shorter-range ballistic missiles to be stationed. And they put it in the ice, and they had reactors there to, you know, power the entire under ice cave-like, ice cave-like facility. They went up there and built it. Trouble is that the ice shifts.

The whole thing fell apart within like two years. It's still there. There's still remnants of that under the ice. We've had bomber bases. We certainly runways for when, you know, our bombers have to go over the North Pole, you know, and turn around and come back, you know, they have an emergency place to land. I think, if I remember correctly, a nuke was lost there, right? There's been accidents, like planes have crashed.

So, NATO, Greenland's always been part of it. But, you know, buying it is clearly something the Danes don't want to do. And for some reason, Trump finds useful to press on right now. well we'll keep paying attention that week by week and hear what NBC guy has to say about that too where you want to go I'm kind of in shock because there's so much to go through where do you want to go next you got to lead me

well one more thing about Greenland if the polar ice cap melted sufficiently then you know having ports and being able to control the sea that would obviously be an issue But the last thing would be, you know, it's kind of like the rare earth mineral deal in Ukraine. I'm not sure Ukraine is an ideal place to get rare earths out of, right? So having that argument as part of, hey, we're going to get Greenland, we're going to get that resource.

I mean, we already got Alaska, and most of Alaska is not mined yet. So not sure, sure. True. True, but it's also keeping others out of it, just that sort of game of risk thing going on. I'll tell you what I really think is in play here is it's just an absolute rebuttal of a European worldview, right? And, you know, the whole argument about, you know, Ukraine, right, and what Russia couldn't do. Here's Trump, at least, you know, putting forward a policy that resists. resembles what Russia did to Ukraine. It's like, you know, concede the territory,

we're going to take it kind of thing. And it's like, you know, having a pinball going off in every European leader's head, just that Trump's doing it. And that might be the purpose. Hey, with so much other stuff going on, you know, there's a lot of, let's just say there's a lot of punches flying. So not everyone's going to be a number.

knockout, some are jabs, some are faints, some are knockout punches. So keeps you on your toes. I would say that even if there was a, even if, you know, Denmark decided that yes, we'll sell it. I would, I think the people that live there should vote. That should be a majority self-determination vote. They'd have to have a referendum or any, or any agreement that was made wouldn't last long. How about Michigan County Clerk discovers 239 non-citizens selected for jury duty over a four-month period? Well, thankfully, in the 10 years of future danger, we haven't seen headlines like that.

But, yeah, I mean, that's a violation of constitutional rights. Jury of your peers, right? No Americans should expect their peers to be foreigners. One of the coolest parts of future danger is, well, there's a lot of cool parts. The data, the info, the news articles, great. The spine of Patriot Power Hour, great. But really cool are all the custom art that was created for each of these indicators and also a description.

So the description or explanation, what do we mean by accused to suffer trial by alien jury? It says right here, government has no power to try you with a jury composed of people foreign to the state and federal judicial district in which you are accused of committing a crime. Today, foreigners summoned for jury duty from voter registration roles are excused because they are not U.S. citizens. And it continues to go on.

I encourage you to go check it out at futuredanger.com. If you're listening, I want to read through that and others. This is literally the first time this headline's ever shown up, and it shows up at the highest grade, most severe future Dan. Yeah, that's never happened before. Yeah. That in of itself makes this a landmark show, but I don't think that's the only thing we got. Honestly, if I was grading it a little harder, I'd probably leave it as grade two red and wait until any conviction stands.

Right? Because in that Michigan County, every single convict that possibly had a jury member that was a foreign national should immediately appeal and have their conviction overturned. I mean, that's what the remedy is. And that we haven't, we haven't gotten to the point where some higher court said, in fact, no, you're, you are subject to, you know, a jury of, you know, alien jurors. And so that would be black on red, truly. But it's maybe a little exaggeration there. But certainly right.

I never have, has a headline come across. But it was dangerous that it was that way. It's dangerous if it continues to be that way. But if this thing surfaces and draws attention to it and we don't get another headline, then perhaps the future danger heat map dashboard did its job. That's definitely one of the items that popped out to be big time today. I was like, I don't think I've ever seen that. And it was true.

I had never seen that before. Unfortunately, what I have seen a fair amount. out the powerful pedophiles exposed. We've been covering that week by week, month my month, year after year. Facing contempt threat, Clinton's refused to testify. Just another data point to continue on.

Even the New York Times has to report this now. I mean, future day. And eight, nine years ago, when Patriot Power Hour started, if you told me we would be here, it'd be tough. It'd be tough for me to believe that New York Times would be reporting on Bill and Clinton,

Bill and Hillary with an Epstein investigation. So that's good news. At least the cockroaches are being spot lit, even if no one's going to jail for it. Yeah, it's these news cycles. And history, history itself, right? Eight years, that's history. It doesn't oftentimes doesn't move as fast as people want.

And two weeks ago, when the dictator of Venezuela was arrested, you know, lots of people were spinning up about how, essentially the president ignored the last election winner in our view, in our country's view, the last election winner, Machado. Two weeks later, she was at the White House today, walked out, great meeting. He had great things to say about her. You know, he probably always meant to get her in there and still intends to get her in there and install her.

He's just not going to do it in a clumsy way. It seems like Trump learns from history. he's certainly doing better in almost every facet than his first run and we're i think this is our last episode before we hit the one year mark of his inauguration because what is he on january 20th i think last year and it's the 15th now so uh and even though it's been a crazy year like if you go back and look at everything he's done and all the holy cow all the different projects from doge in the all the way through now with Greenland and Venezuela, everything in between. We're shaking it up, and that's what I wanted.

I want to rebuild once we shake some of the puzzle pieces apart. We've got to put it back together. We can't just destroy society, but I feel like, you know, he's fleshing out a lot of the people who are anti-American, forcing them to show their hands. And now that we can see them, maybe we can reconstruct the society a little bit better. Oh, he's exposing dimensions and angles to the American society that were long unrecognized, you know, cornered into, you know, fringe thinking, no more, no more. You know, a lot of the wounds of this country there, it's wide open now.

So, you know, now that you know you have a problem, healing should be the next step. And so Trump's already done his job, so no one should be relied on Trump to do anything more, honestly. Like, I hope he does more. But now it's up to each and every individual person, really. But society as a whole to carry on. Like, okay, see all this bad stuff going on. We got a couple ways where we're turning it around in the right way. Some big questions still unanswered.

We're going to have to do something about it because Trump ain't going to be around. forever one way or another whether that's in office or otherwise so even if he's around 10 more years as a sage advice right and he's still running all things intents and purposes that's still only 10 years that'll be a gone in a flash so we got to push a lot harder yeah well he maps showing the stress right now yes that's what I'm saying and I'm happy that honestly even though a lot of this is a little a little concerning news. It's like I said, we've got to flesh

this out. I knew a lot of this poison was in the system. Let's get it out. Let's see. I'm going to leave gold and silver for the ed, if you're cool with that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So with that said, we've looked a fair amount at NATO. We've talked a little bit about

Greenland. We have not talked much about domestically what's happened in this past week. Can you run us through some of this. We got a dozen articles at least, but kind of big picture, where are we? And what, maybe most importantly, what's occurred in the last 24 hours? Where do you see happening over the weekend? Can you hit me again with the topic? I think it cut out momentarily. That's all right. Riots erupting, insurrection declared that. Let's pivot to that with,

of course, what's occurred in the past week. We got a lot of articles here. here, but can boil that down and as important or more importantly, what's going to happen potentially this weekend? What are we looking at? What's occurred just today? You know, breaking news. Yeah. So, you know, the basics, the Insurrection Act is, you know, there's a law that prevents the

U.S. military from enforcing domestic law, right? Being occupying the, you know, out in regular America. you know, outside of their installations, right? For very good reason. And the Interaction Act has, you know, essentially leaves it to the president to declare that he's going to invoke the act and, you know, bring order to some part of the United States that needs it.

And since the law was passed by Congress, it's been invoked 30 times. Republicans, Democrats, it's happened a lot, right? I mean, in your lifetime, Rodney King, right? Were you watching that? You're old enough for that, right? I remember hearing about a style is probably about seven or eight, but I remember, I mean, it was the theme growing up about Rodney King. And it was in a lot of songs and movies and stuff for sure.

Right. Yeah. So when those riots occurred, when his, when the police that beat him were, you know, found innocent or, you know, not convicted, found not guilty. obviously rioting in southern LA. And that eventually led to, at the time, a Republican governor calling upon George H.W. Bush to invoke the act. So that's an example, right? Now, in the first term, I don't think Trump understood that, you know, he could do this. But once he did, you know, he had, you know, a chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Miley, and a secretary of

war, it was a hangover that, you know, wouldn't follow the orders, right? And it's certainly not the case in this administration. So he knows exactly what to do if the city start to burn and the local officials are not cooperating. And as a matter of history, the only times that a governor resisted federal troops in their states in the history of like over 100 years, has been Democrats, mostly during a civil rights era, right? So that's a very high chance of happening this year. The question is when will Trump do it, right? And how will the, you know, how will the visuals of having a, you know, a modern,

even a military police company, let alone infantry company walking through the streets with ice? I mean, you know, what's that look like? And, you know, when does Trump pull the trigger on that? He could do it right now. He could do it right now in Minneapolis. And really, there's not much of a check by any other branch of government on this without some kind of case getting before the Supreme Court.

And we know that those take years, right? Like a case against the Insurrection Act by the Trump, might not make it to the Supreme Court for a final decision until after Trump is out of office. So he has that power. And you and I have talked about in the financial domain, what would happen if, you know, if you work it on the premise that there are banksters

and banksters, you know, are in collusion and therefore have the power to rig the world economy and therefore, if they can rig it to their favor, also rig it to collapse in their favor. You know, if you're of that frame of mind, right? I've said, you know, doing it too soon gives the president too much power, too much emergency power. They don't want that.

I think they want to spring it on him in 2007 when there's not enough time left for him to do anything really about it. Same thing with the Insurrection Act, right, but in the opposite direction. Trump invokes it too early, and he might have much worse circumstances in the next two or three years, and then he faces the prospect, do I got to do it again? Do I got to do it again? Something tells me, though, if something bad enough happens in any of these cities, with local officials threatening to arrest federal officers, like if any of them dared, like the Philadelphia police chief, actually making an arrest of a federal officer,

boy, the U.S. Army is going to be there the next day. Yeah. Philadelphia's top law enforcement officials have drawn a red line with the Trump administration after an ICE agent, killing activists, blah, blah, last week. So the DA and the sheriff vowed to prosecute any federal officials who commit crimes in cities. Well, there's a difference between crime and committing their duty, which is pretty clear. year. So. And the vice president came out on day one of the, of the Renee Good incident and said, uh, these officers have absolute immunity. And that's pretty true. That is pretty true. Right. In the context of their, you know, duties, there, there, there, there is no cases against them, especially not by a state or local official, right? Rarely could one of these officers,

you know, face any kind of, you know, charges in court for doing their duty federally. And it's almost like zero chance that anything in a state court would be, you know,

dismissed before it ever, you know, moved an inch. It's all a bluff. It's a bluff for their constituents who don't know any better, right? You can say anything if the people following you are stupid enough not to know better.

this is a bluff is a great way to put it and the sheriff ends it with you don't want this smoke she concluded so that's talk about bluster fake bluster i would expect um do you live anywhere near jurisdictions that have have have police chiefs like in minneapolis and other places that are you know openly political about these matters I mean, prepping 101 is, I'm sorry, no matter how deep your family ties are, move, move. That is a law enforcement system that can break down with mutinies and police forces and absolute mayhem under the wrong circumstances. Like, not safe to live there. That's my opinion. Given how many, I mean, there's just so much money behind the agitation we look at. China, let's shift gears a little bit, but money, effort, time, put into this agitation

that it's a wonder. There hasn't been a larger incident, as you pointed out, that would force Trump's hand. And I think it's only a matter of time. It's a numbers game. Eventually, someone will do something crazy enough, either on accident or as a provocateur, whatever. There's just so much randomness, so much potential that's going to happen sooner than later. What exactly it's going to happen, though?

Well, that's a good question. Is it going to be multiple people shot and killed? Will it be multiple ice shot and killed, right? Jumped and machine gun down by, I don't know. I don't know what. They're going to use that for gun control. It happens first off. You know, beyond where we saw it with George Floyd riots?

I mean, like a group of five people come out with ARs and AKs and gun up a van of six guys that's military grade violence military grade violence is a different matter that that's an heat map indicator that's that's order of

magnitude more severe of an indicator than riots erupting right widespread rioting across every major city with blocks burning and police force is not in place would be a very very, very dystopian bad scene, right? And there's only one, you know, one ambush of a vehicle with,

and all it takes was the three or four crazy guys or operatives of a foreign government or otherwise to set that up. And that's an order of a magnitude more dangerous than what I just presented for cities burning. Just a regular old, you know, major American downtown riot, even if, you know, six, 10, 12, 20 cities, if that's happening, and I'm looking at that, I am saying to myself, that's happened before. We've coped with that before. We've already been stronger than that.

That tends to not last. And if it's only happening and, you know, fairly isolated, you know, just a few indicators in column two, it's bad, it's dangerous, but we can come back from that. military ambushes. No, no, no, no. That's way, that's military-grade violence. And that's the, I don't, I don't think we're, I don't think we're close to seeing that right now.

And even if that happened, it would be a one-off. If it, you know, then we're talking about, you know, absolutely that's an insurrection. It's not just local officials that are impeding federal forces, which is a form of insurrection. It's, now we're in the, you know, armed, armed revolt, right? We're in a civil war then.

Hopefully don't cross that threshold, but that order of magnitude, that 10x, it accelerates quick, right? In a week or two, it could occur. Hopefully it won't. Just keeping an eye out for it. The Phoenix Survival in the chat. What's happening?

We are live here on Prepper Broadcasting Network. We're about halfway through the show. episode 333 January 15th, 2026. Featured Dan, how about I hit a couple commercials and we come back and finish strong? What do you say? I want to address one more thing. Okay. We got on our own schedule.

Go for it. About the funding of the groups that are involved in the anti-ice, you know, mostly peaceful riots. The Chinese connection, right? and yes i had that up on the on the screen and i actually kind of glazed over i'm glad he brought it up go for it i want to unglaze that one and i want i want to i want to kind of focus out at a higher level the chinese and we've talked about in the show you know you know hybrid warfare right asymmetric warfare all domain warfare there's lots of terms for this sort of thing right and it wasn't really

known to the world until, you know, the U.S. Soviet Cold War, right, for the West and the East, that Cold War last century. When, you know, it was called the Cold War because KGB and the CIA and everybody in between were going at it all the time, clandestinely, right? They couldn't go openly because that, you know, would start making ICBMs fly, and that was unthinkable. So it was all behind closed doors, right? all hush-hush secret warfare

but it was all the time it was going on and obviously you know playing spy movies out there all you know in military you know just working on the psychological warfare the information warfare

all the domains not not just the actual thing that you traditionally think of as war and a term that's back in in usage that for some people it you know the it bugs them but it i never really loved the terms when it came to military doctrine but you know thinking about today they are pretty apt and that's kinetic and non-kinetic

so everything you could do in an adversary you know divided into the kinetic and the non-kinetic is shooting killing real war and the non-kinetic is everything that accompanies that right so there's article of a Chinese billionaire linked to Chinese intelligence, you know, accused, you know, of or alleged to have, you know, be funding these protests, that would be, you know, on the non-kinetic side of a worldwide constant war, non-kinetic, but in clandestine, but it's war. And on the other side that I thought, you know, about an article that I shot over to, you know, you James and Dave in the back channel that just arrived in the past two days or so where apparently there's an account of someone claiming their Venezuelan soldier telling a story about how while guarding Maduro

suddenly there was explosions there was drones everywhere in the sky there were helicopters and then all the Cuban security detail and Venezuelans in the vicinity of Maduro all started bleeding from their ears and vomiting blood. Big, big question about what that's all about, right? Do we have that weapon? Is it real? Are we really doing that? Is that a lie? Is that a lie by an adversary? Or possibly, is that a psychological? operation sequel to the main operation two weeks ago where we're putting that out

into the infosphere to scare the fuck out of our enemies whether it's true or not. So we do it. China does it. Other countries try it. Lots of other countries do not

succeed in influencing opinion like we do. But this is what it means to live in the 21st century. These security apparatus, these states are going to have the power because kinetically, they're always able to fight and non-kinetically, they're always at it in the information sphere, in the human intelligence sphere.

This is the world we live in. If you have some kind of, you know, more quaint view of what it was or what it should be, I suggest you come to terms with reality. This is the way it's going to be in our lifetime. With that set, we're going to go to break. We'll be right back on the Patriot Power Hour. Here's my question to you. Are you really going to build that kit?

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

Visit Limatango Survival.com and find the kit that solves your problem. Are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency? This is the Intrepid Commander, and I'm holding the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W.4. the MD. In this great book, you'll learn how to prepare for medical care off the grid. You'll learn about assessment and stabilization. You'll even deal with things like bioterrorism response, radiation, and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home.

Look, 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in America. Get the Preppers Medical Handbook today at Amazon.com. Again, that's the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. 40. Patriot Power Hour episode 333. Still live and we're back. Quick plug, I will say, in the top left of the video, check out that QR could be part of the supporters of PBN. And it's all just rolled up now into podcast,

Spreaker, much simpler membership structure. so easy way to do that. Future Dan, where you want to go to next? I want to know what you're doing with AI to learn a little bit more about how silver pricing works. Oh, we're going to go down that, Rabel. I'm excited. Are you ready for this? All right.

Yeah, yeah, I am. I barely understand what you're doing. So I'm like, honestly, I want to know what you did with AI. Here we go. I'm going to try to keep this preper-centric and not much jargon. Wish me luck. Let's just start with gold at that all-time high of 4,626 and silver hitting $94 or nearly $94 yesterday. With that, all you have to do is listen to Patriot Power Hour in the past year.

And you just see every episode we're talking about the ongoing march upwards of gold and silver. So what I did, well, I've already done a fair amount of research in chat GPT on the silver landscape. Demand for physical silver, what it's actually used for. We went through this in the last few episodes, right? How demand and silver has changed and how it's going to increase over the past couple decades and especially go forward with solar panel, electronics, data centers, military weapons. A lot of silver is using Tomahawk missiles and drones and all this stuff, right? So we have that portion.

Then we have also, of course, the monetary portion of silver. As the breaker of banksters, I always go against fiat currency and talk about how silver's the people's money, blah, blah, blah. So that is the start of the primordial super, the witches brew within this AI system. You can pretty much keep adding data into it, talk about it. I gave it the values. We talked about this last episode as well. 1776 is the true value that we're looking forward to transparency, accountability, bill of rights, but also a monetary system that supports that.

So with all that background, I decided let's now try to make some predictions or put together a dashboard to say, hey, are we seeing a systemic collapse in the banking system because of this? Number one. Number two, why does this even matter to a prepper? So what I'm going to do, share my screen. Let me do this. We're going to first talk about why this even matters. to a prepper and I have it all prepared right here I think yes I have so much data and so much information in AI but I asked it to put together one paragraph to summarize why this is important

for a prepper this is what it said silver isn't about money I would add silver isn't just about money it's about whether the systems that deliver power clean water medicine and communications keep working under stress when supply tightens or and or when demand goes crazy repairs slow replacements vanish outages last longer prepers don't wait for collapse they watch the materials that everything depends on and i would say uh gather those materials not hoard them but silver is one of them so that's the translation wow and I have a dashboard as well that I put together. We can look at.

Any questions first, though, or thoughts? That was kind of poignant, wasn't it? The AI kind of eloquent, you know? Yeah, silver is one of those metals. But, you know, this is, it's time to really start paying attention to all the metals, right? All the industrial metals, big, big deal. We talked about earlier today. How important would Greenland be to rare earths, maybe a lot, maybe a little?

I'm sure it has them, right? But it's the Chinese monopoly on the, you know, the refineries of rare earths, right? That's what we're trying to break right now. So I'm kind of interested. Like, is silver considered rare earth? It is, right? It's one of the rare earths. And, you know, where are we at with that?

How much is that funny? It's the most common of the rare earth. But given its price action, that has changed a lot. I mean, it's more than tripled in price in the last few years, which changes how rare it is, because prices a signal of rarity and scarcity in a roundabout way, the physical. And that's part of what I'm going to look at next is the difference between the physical metal, the actual rare earth used for manufacturing versus the paper Ponzi game that the banksters are playing. That's what I'm really trying to tease out.

Right. And help me, help frame this for me because I would never buy, certificates and any bullion, right? That means adding it to my IRAs, you know, getting exposure to the metals. Like that, that whole racket is what is actually distorting the price. But I'm, no one, no one here suggesting that we, you know, that we try to reform that into something that is a prep, right? No, no. How about we start getting into my system itself? It might answer some questions. It'll probably raise more than it answers, but I think it's a good time. Yeah, I'll go for it.

All right. Actually, this is my script that you're seeing right here. So let me go ahead and share something else, a pretty little picture that didn't take too long to figure out how to program using chat GPT. One second. Let's see. Stop the screen and start the screen. We'll start this screen, right? Is it that one?

Yes. All right. I'm going to zoom in, hopefully, a little bit here. So for the podcast listeners, I'm pulling up a consolidated dashboard that looks quite confusing, but I swear is not going to be too hard to understand. And this will be a mainstay of silver analysis go forward.

So you'll get more used to it. Let's just say that. The first three categories are the price of silver, the price of gold and the price of Bitcoin. Pretty easy. Silver. Well, this was taken earlier this afternoon. I didn't include that in this picture,

but it timestamps when it was taken and all that stuff. Anyway, I also have the status. And the status is anywhere, there's a few categories or bands. The highest is if it's up more than 3%. Well, guess what? Silver's up 17% since our last show. So everything you're seeing here for these percentages are since our last episode, silver's up 17% in one week.

Gold's up 3.68% and Bitcoin's 4.82%. So that's what these first three lines are. Just high level, what's the price? Next up, we have really a couple types of metrics and don't worry about the jargon. what I want you to look at is the far right side, the status and the colors. Let's make it easy. The first one, extreme or systemic. This is the worst one we have, and it's the silver stress indicator. Silver stress is at the highest level, almost extreme, systemic, black on red, that color right there. So let me go read the definition super fast. We're not going to read the definition of all of these, but as to

Time goes on. We will explore all these, I'm sure, in the coming weeks and months. But as we're seeing right now, silver market up 70%. I mean, silver, you didn't change 17% in an entire year for an entire, for decade straight. It didn't change that much. So one week, absolutely crazy. But that means there's crazy stress going on. And that's what my model has indicated.

Let's go read what this means. Really, it is. it separates it separates what's going on with the price versus the baseline. What it means is going up or down. It's the volatility that is killer. If silver goes up 10%

and then drops a whole bunch and it ends up at the exact same price one week later, that is very stressful. Even if the price didn't move at all, it had a whole bunch of all. volatility in between. Here, we have massive price whiplash, heavy stress, plus massive price increase.

You put that together, and there's extreme stress on the system. That's really all we're going to get into in this dashboard tonight. I don't want to go through too much more. But yeah, pretty crazy run-up in silver. Actually, very crazy run-up. But don't forget, gold's at an all-time high. We have, we have big. Bitcoin back on a run and silver the stress.

It's ugly. We have other indicators that are showing problems in the silver market too, but there you go, Future Dan. That's the high, high level. So we're in the heat map dashboard making business, are we? Essentially, yes. Using AI, I'm able to have it pull about a dozen metrics in real time. so I have it pull all types of, well, here, let's answer the question you started with.

You pretty much made a statement that you would not buy paper contracts on silver or gold, which neither would I. And hopefully no prepper out there. If there's one thing you can get out of this whole thing is don't buy paper, buy the real thing, okay? Why do people do it, though? A lot of reasons, a lot of reasons. It's easier to do it in your 401K, so some people just take the easy way out. institutions do it, but really it's the banksters doing it. They can say, hey, my balance sheet

has 5% gold on it. I'm very safe, but it's not real gold. So that's part of the reason there's a lot of other conspiratorial reasons of price suppression as well. But it's, it is a lot easier to trade paper, you know, silver and gold than ship real silver and gold across the world. It's a lot easier. So, you know, in a functioning system, where people can't cheat, where there is arbitrage to hold people to account where you can't get away with this because someone else will undercut you, that type of thing.

That's fine, but we don't have that anymore. And that's what I'm all, some of these other, the integrity has a lot to do with, is there an ability to arbitrage, or are we seeing resistance to be enabled, to have a free market. So we're seeing a lot of resistance to a free market in silver. Not as much in gold right now, though.

So what would an indicator on this heat map dashboard look like that attempted to measure how, you know, some kind of, you know, a range from most controlled to least controlled, absolutely free economics to, you know, I guess the, you know, Communism, utter state control of the price of a given metal. What would it, would there be a way to look at, you know, just an arrow that wasn't up or down, but it's really just, you know, left or right?

Is it, you know, which direction is more freedom, less freedom in the marketplace? And that would be, you know, a question about, like, are the banks losing control? And are they suffering because they're losing control? it's a great question i am gathering this data right now it's not going to be a scored number like you said it's going to be a relative up down i haven't exactly determined it'll be up or down or left or right maybe it'll be a gradient so you start at a hundred as the midpoint and then it goes down or it goes up right kind of gauge like that not sure exactly but it is essentially what you said how transparent are the markets and is there actual physical access.

We know for a fact, and I knew this inherently, but my research proved it out, that there's a massive sink of gold and silver into China that it goes in and it doesn't come out. And we have no idea how much is there, actual gold and silver in China, but we know about how much goes there over a certain period of time. And we don't know if they're selling it out the back door or they're hoarding it or they're turning it into, you know, whatever. But that is being identified by Chad GPT and I have it dig a little further. And the problem is it's becoming a lot more opaque and shady, for lack of a better term.

In the West, right? We could expect Communist China to be like this. But now London is acting like this. And now the CME is starting to act like this. And they're changing the rules of the game. a little bit, changing how much margin you have to have and pretty much trying to let pressure off, right? Pressure relief valve so stuff doesn't blow. They're trying that and we're still seeing gold or a gold at an all-time high and silver just blow up.

So that's why we're seeing extreme systemic stress based on my model. This is the most stress we've seen since the year 2020. Okay. So bringing it back to first principle. stress to what? Stress to what exactly? I consider stress to the trust in the paper system, even working. If this hits like a 10, then it means.

So what's happening is, okay, how could I explain this? in 2008 and 2009, there was no liquidity, right? Because no one trusted each other anymore. Well, you say no one, but, you know, if you're living in the wilds of Alaska and don't have electricity and weren't paying attention, it didn't matter to you. Who are we talking? We're talking about the big banks. The big banks, hedge funds, insurance funds, all the big financial. Stress.

What that means is all the back. boundaries around financial institutions, the big, the too big to fail financial institutions, not, you know, regular people out in America. Yes. This particular stress is all about the paper market stress, the financial institutions. If you hear paper silver or paper market, you should just think Wall Street, Chicago, London, pretty much think that. So I'm a big fan of the Heritage Foundation's,

economic freedom index. And it, that, that think tank organizes all kinds of economic activity and comes up with an index, right? And you can go very, very transparent. How do you, you know, how do you measure a country's economic freedom, right? I'm, I'm wondering if there could be a way to, you know, measure the, not just the silver, but the bullion, gold and silver, paper gold and silver versus physical gold and silver, monetary bullying, right, the relative economic freedom in the marketplace.

And I think your transparency is, that's a big part of it, right? A huge part of it, right? Huge, huge part of economic freedom. But not all, right? Because what are the laws and the regulations and then at the private level, the policies that make economies free or not free, right? I think you're getting towards something that resembles that just for this slice of the economy, which for generations has just been overlooked.

Like, yeah, everybody knew golden silver was worth something, but, you know, no one was stacking bullion in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, or most of this century so far, and getting a big return on investment. Well, that being said, if you had stacked, you'd be making, you know, more. multiples right now with what we're seeing. But I'm just wondering whether this almost Pullet Bureau Soviet style control of a resource, which has been applied by the financial powers that be for so many decades, whether it's just falling apart the seams like the Soviet Union did in the 90s, right? It couldn't sustain itself anymore.

At a certain point, it had to capitulate. Yes. And I'm wondering whether what you're seeing here, the stress, I've kind of sit here and wondered, should I be wishing that that stress increases? Because it's hastening the end of a somewhat economic, you know, very much economically unfree model. That's a conundrum I've faced for more than a decade now is I want all this to come down so we could rebuild.

But when it all falls down, man, it's going to be. be ugly. I don't really want mass unemployment and suicides and stuff. Why do we got to go there? Why does the golden silver price is becoming free and unsuppressed? Why is that? So there's the logic I don't understand. Why is that just a domino that knocks all the other dominoes down? I don't see why it has to be that way. I'm biased, but I feel and believe this would unwind a lot more. This would just be the detonator cap for the entire global bankster system.

That is total fraud. That's 10 times bigger than the gold and silver markets. All the stuff the Fed's done over the last 10 years and tried to bury and paper over the massive central bank schemes that they still

run to this day. We talk about repo rates, potentially spike it and stuff. if there was a huge margin call and collapse bear stern's level because of gold and silver, I mean, we'd be off to the races again. And we'd need another. I've always said they got one more big bail out.

So maybe they would do it here with Fiat, with this Fiat system. So that's what I'm looking at triggering more. I thought of something about this show earlier today too. And now that could be, I think I'm going to bring it up. And by the way, Jerome Powell got, you know, he's facing criminal charges now.

Yeah. We need to talk about that. But Trump coming back in his second term, stopped playing the Fed is independent game and just batter the entire, you know, board to lower rates, lower rates, lower rates, lower rates. Let's put that together with a scenario where, indeed, he fears in 2007 that, you know, some of those dominoes are going to start to fall real fast in the financial, sector. We're going to be looking like, you know, we're going right into an election in

2004 like we did in 2008 with everything coming apart at the seams. Sure. So maybe Trump's trying to drive the rates down. So there is no where to go. There is no failing out. There is no rescue coming a few months after he's out of office and, you know, having all that bad history hung around his neck for you know until the end of time maybe that's why he needs the rates is one of many reasons why he needs the rates absolutely as low as possible as fast as possible too late jerome that's what he calls him and now yeah you're right we'll see if jerome actually gets held to account on this polymarket stats weren't super high here's

something I want to touch on very fast. Back to the silver. We will continue to build this model and report on it as time goes on. But this goes hand in hand with your let's get rates to zero. Stuff's hitting the fan. We need to get, you know, we expect things to get gnarly in the next few years. We need the rates zero now. At the same time, worldwide states and preppers and institutions.

are realizing they need physical gold and silver. So they're buying it up. And here's where economic theory gets twisted on its head. This is where it gets really fun. You think when price goes up, more people want to sell their silver, and in the long term, usually that's true.

But for a while, people actually might pucker up and be tighter with their silver than ever. And there could be state-level hoarding of silver, such as banning the export of silver, as we've seen, coming through, right? So as price goes up, actually supply might be restricted and demand might go up, which makes

the price go up faster, faster, faster, faster. And I mean, that's pretty much where we are right now. But people are thinking this could expand to $200, $300, $500 in the next couple of years. I'm not calling that, but it's snowballing. Legal bans on the export of bullion would go hand in hand with the outlying of private ownership probably in which of course happened under Roosevelt so

yes yes hey we got a few people in chat what's happening about Phoenix survival a couple more talking about the background yeah we did have your background on actually just a little bit earlier it's a beautiful background given how bad the topic is of obey and consume

but I thought it was pretty cool looking good job there what's happening L2 survive L2 Survive L2 Survive says, did you see President Trump say he wanted to limit credit card interest rates at 10%? I'm glad you brought that up. Future Dan, while I went anti-free market on this and joined Trump on the 10%. What are your thoughts?

You want to quiz me on this? No. I'm totally going against myself, or is this a good thing? That's treating your populace like children. Price controls never work. And freedom of association, like it means what it says. I'll take a debt of any rate that I choose with another party. I'm a free American.

I get it. I get it. That is my libertarian streak, which is the strongest streak in me, but I still think, man, more than 10% interest rate really is just, should be a non-viable loan.

But it's hard to say the government needs to enforce that for sure. Yeah, but there can be other ways to, you know, you know, affect behavior, right? Maybe there's a way to reward people for being credit worthy in the tax system. Well, this actually hasn't been passed yet, and I'm sure it would be appealed or, you know, brought up to court. And I don't think it would stand very, very well.

What about you? What exactly? Trying to implement some sort of rate cap. He has no power to do that. So this is more of filling the air with flak and just getting ideas out there to rally. It's getting down the trenches and fighting, you know, you know, knife fighting in the trenches at the same level as the police chief of Philadelphia. Like going out there and putting things out there that he didn't have the power to do. And Jamie Diamond doesn't have the balls to come out and say he doesn't have the power to do it.

But that's exactly what he said to everybody behind closed doors. wars, right? Right, right. Yeah. No, this right here would require a law. There's no national emergency act that's going to, you know, get involved with, you know, capping what a private lender lends its, the rate it lends its money to another private. No.

That's a total bad idea. Price controls never were. They always make things worse. So the classic reason, essentially there would be a mass. of shortage of credit out there because of this. And that would be the main, maybe there's other negative externalities, but that would be the main problem of price controls is you have less availability. If you cap the rent, then all of a sudden you don't have any affordable housing units

open. Sure, it's 800 bucks a month in New York City, but there's a 30-year wait list. So credit cards, though, I'm still, I don't know. I think you're framing it from some kind of cradle the grave, social welfare, command economy. The elites know better than us so they can govern our economic behavior kind of point of view, right? And if we as a society wanted to reward people who do not have the kind of lack of creditworthiness that puts them at those high rates, and then I think the people that save should be rewarded, which is why

slashing interest rates in the long run punishes all savers, right? And, but no, government should not be interfering with this. It would be, if nothing else, a pretext for a future Democrat presidency to do horrendous tinkering. Right.

That's true. Against everything, you know, so unless you want to avoid being accused to being a hypocrite in the long run, price controls really a bad idea price controls by presidential dictat not a not a constitutional idea all right you got me back grounded my brain is working again instead of my gut I feel like it's my gut that gets me pissed or yeah but that's what we got to avoid reacting to because that's what the democrats love to do their constituents just love to go emotion and gut

reaction instead of thinking through it you know we're human we got emotions whatever some you want to you want to break the banksters so badly that that's like uh going to the dark side right exactly yeah anic don't do it you feel the pole like yeah let's smite them no and it sounds you know sounds so reasonable it's so alluring but it's the slippery slope and the hypocrisy and as you said It's a Greenland move. It's a Greenland move. In the middle of the news cycle, tossing that out, gets everybody in Wall Street, boom, they're paying attention. Those money jockeys, how many of them if they took a constitutional quiz,

could clearly enunciate that, no, the executive branch cannot do that. Every single one of them would trade on it immediately, right? Right. Well, not every single one. But too many of them, far too many of them don't understand that. And the really smart ones like are afraid to come out. They don't want to say, hey, the president's wrong because he probably does have other policies up his sleeve, other laws that have other powers that can bring them a lot of grief, right? He's a lot of other tools, right?

So it's almost like boasting about a tool he doesn't have to threaten them in the background with tools they does have. Yes. I don't want to go on a diatribe about like the 3D. chest and is it smart or not, but it's so easy. If you look at things Trump does and you look at it from the stupidest, lowest level, lowest denominator, you could say, oh, he can't do that. He's dumb. But most of the time, maybe not all the time, most of the time he's doing that as a tactic for something else. You know, I'm sure it goes more complicated than that. And again, I don't know if it's all on purpose. Sometimes I think he's just trolling people or sometimes he believes his own

uh, believes his own, uh, you know, I don't know, believes himself that he could do these. But I think most of the time, he understands he's using it to rattle people.

It's the art of the deal. You know, and it's a little bit rally of the base, which I don't know. I would not be acting that way, but I'm not the president. I'm, I'm,

I'm not sure I'm, you know, in agreement with the, with the chess metaphor entirely. Because if you're, if you're up against, you know, an opponent as good or, you know, possibly better than you in chess.

It's not a very forgiving game. You got like one path, right, to really, you get a few chances. And if you don't execute them well, you're going to lose. And that's not really the environment the president's in because he's, it's carpet bombing. It's, it's, it's, I'm going to hit you in 50 ways at the same time. it's literally blitzkrieg, right, on a political level. It's not chess because, you know, he doesn't need all of his, you know, moves. All of his moves don't have to, you know, pay off.

Because most of his moves, all he has to do is stop talking about him. And they, they fizzle out of memory. Like, no one's ever stuck on him again, right? You know, that's him. He's just, you know, does. Knucking and weaving and moving on. And we had them earlier in the history of Patriot Power, I think we brought up a metaphor.

I think during his first term, really looked like a guy that was, like, surrounded by a mob, and there was a big circle around him. And he just had to fight whoever stepped out of the crowd. And, you know, honestly, he knocked most of them out, especially in the Republican primary, you know, seasons, right? Just on, you know, just stood his ground and fought them all off. counterpunter, right? So, you know, he's not playing chess. He's just brawling the same way.

And he's going up against power regimes that have for a long time have never had to defend themselves. And you can see the result. He doesn't win all of his fights, but he's winning a lot of them. All right. We've been cranking out some good content tonight. I heard a couple folks said our episode last week was a top 10 all-timer tonight was a great one as well it's not quite over yet were there any other topics or articles to hit I mean there's so much

we've been through so much but I feel like we're missing some stuff what's going on the paradox of that very statement right thank you for those I think we're doing this well but the total amount of news and a lot of it is dangerous is you know we don't want that

right maybe in the best Patriot Power Hour is a quiet late July quiet dark day of summer. We got three headlines on the entire heat map and there isn't really much else going on. And that was happening last summer, by the way. A couple weeks there. We're just like that. So thank you for the accolades for covering the news when everything's going to hell. I'd rather have a quiet summer evening where there's three headlines to tell you the truth. Agree 110%. I'd rather to scrapbook and have fun on chat gpt then calculate the integrity and stress of the paper silver markets because the banksters are schemers but we do what we got to do future dad i think episode

three three three is in the books it was a great one yeah man it was and i'll put this out there kind of thought of it this past week okay you know um you know the the answer to ternary is revolt and and in that circumstance war is the answer that's my message to iran and every other dictatorship on earth this could be the year that they really we really have a chance to increase the net amount of human freedom on the planet at home and abroad great message good show i'll talk to you next week
