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, Patriot Power Hour, episode 341, March 18, 2026.

We're going straight to the headlines. Last week, we had 42 headlines. It was a very busy week. We have 58 right now. We thought 42 was a lot. We got 58. Let's just get started. No time.

waste. Let's roll. Virginia lawmakers pass assault firearm ban. California school bans brands first grader racist over any life matters drawing. We'll get to Iran in a second. We have that across the board. But continuing, Judge protects Fed chairman, quashes a DOJ pressure campaign subpoena over renovations of the Federal Reserve building in D.C. billions of dollars. Minnesota Senate Rams through sweeping anti-second amendment measures. Firearm laws to watch in 2026. Got a whole list of different laws to watch. And more coming out of Virginia. Ten anti-second amendment bills await Virginia governor's signature. Keeping and bearing arms is infringed. Under life, liberty and property being deprived

without due process. Michigan's red flag gun law use jumps 31%. So all different ways are coming up to guns. We have war unconstitutionally waged. A trend we keep reporting it on. Iran's

drone assaults down 95% as the Secretary of War declares Operation Epic Fury still ramping up 12,000 troops across four southern border states prepared to join the fight against Mexican drug cartels. So multiple wars going on here, you can almost say. Iran war maps tracking the Mideast conflict all here on future danger.com. At your fingertips, U.S. forces drop multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions

unhardened Iranian missile sites near the coastline of the Strait of Hormuz. A little less extreme. but still important articles in the first column. House Oversight Committee subpoenas AG and Epstein probe. Six million total pages release, or excuse me, there are allegedly six million pages of that. Three million have been released. Seventh Circuit slams Chicago judge

over her constitutionally suspect orders against the Trump administration. a little constitutionally suspect. Undercover video exposes California elections fraud, cash for ballots scheme. Truth will come out there. That is the first column. We got a few more to go. Let's keep rolling under the security column.

Israelis kill Iranian internal security chief. the highest rated article of the week. There was a jihadi killer that was killed by a ROTC cadet with a knife in the back channels. We're talking about that. Islamic Terrorist Strike, Michigan, Synagogue, and a university in Virginia.

Terror threats rise amid Iran war, but would not seen huge uptick in sleeper cells as feared. Still, though, the synagogue attacker in Michigan a few days ago had ties to Iranian-backed Hezbollah rocket unit. So they're out there. 307 Iranian illegal aliens nabbed by U.S. Border Patrol in Trump's second term. So just in the last year, 307 Iranians minimum.

military assets moved do not see this indicator too often so worth paying attention to 31st marine expeditionary unit order to the Middle East that's 2 200 Marines board 3 Navy amphibious ships NATO dissolves this is an uptick recently the indicator NATO dissolves has several articles under it. Let's go, start to finish. The president blast NATO after allies rebuff

a call to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He calls the coalition of the unwilling. He says the U.S. needs no help one day after expressing confidence that the allies would give aid. European nations pull their

anti-IS mission troops out of Iraq. So there were European troops fighting ISIS in Iraq getting pulled out. Trump's saying on NATO, they will do nothing for us. President says continuing NATO membership, certainly something we should think about, meaning whether we should continue NATO membership. Big developments there.

A few, let's call them, topical news articles was still really important and could change instantly. North Korea launches multiple ballistic missiles. in a test. Freedom Shield is the name of an exercise in South Korea. Multinational forces arrive in South Korea for that exercise.

Freedom Shield just when North Korea launches the ballistic missiles, but this is something that's happened for many years, so we'll keep an eye on it, but it is topical deep state protection of the Seth Rich Files might be ending. Will the Seth Rich Files come out?

What could those contain? Russia is keeping Iran in the fight. It's sharing satellite imagery, drone technology, a little bit of what NATO is doing in Ukraine. Russia can't emulate that perfectly, but anything they can do, they're trying. Northern Command Chief calls Russia adversary with greatest capabilities.

So Northern Command, the head of that, the chief of that, it's calling Russia, really the Adversy, adversary with the greatest capabilities. Not China. Search area conditions, hindering investigation into the missing Air Force General. We talked about that last week.

That is the security column. Economics. ShtF level. Rarely have seen this. Only in the worst crises have we seen this. 401K funds are being rated. Record high. Record high. More than 2008.

More than 20, 20. 401k hardship withdrawals hit record high. Crude oil just under 100 bucks. It is up 40% in the last few weeks but has not really

crossed at least for a significant time $100 mark. But diesel back up to $5 bucks. Gasoline up a bit. National average average of one gallon of

gasoline. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker. The platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

Sprinker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. In the United States, $3.75. There's a fertilizer bottleneck because, well, it's not just gasoline and diesel that comes. out of crude oil. A lot of things do, including fertilizer. Plus, there's a lot of other shipping

in Hormuz as well that's involved with fertilizer, food, and all types of production. So, this bottleneck raises the risk of food inflation and other inflation, of course. You can learn more as a few good articles about how the Iran War is an economic world war and some of the numbers involved. How about this? The $3 trillion private credit crisis, nobody. Nobody. is talking about, except the Patriot Power Hour. We've reported on that three weeks straight private credit crisis. Under federal services falter, we're seeing some big delays and perhaps total shutdowns cascading through the airport system.

TSA going unpaid. 300 TSA agents quit as deputy administrator says the agency may shut. shut down airports, particularly smaller ones under federal services falter. Get to the airport early, folks, if you're traveling anytime soon. Otherwise, economically, the markets and everything else fairly calm and, oh yeah, the Federal Reserve. They're going to keep rates. Well, they're not cutting rates.

I'll tell you that. They're not cutting rates with everything going on. But Dow did fall to a fresh 2026 low, but again, that's all. only 8% lower than it's all-time high. Let's move on to the final column. How about this? Vaccination effects exposed. 56% of Americans now suspect COVID-19 vaccines caused mass death.

56%. New study shows wireless radiation limits are at least 200 times too high to protect against cancer. That's a couple orders of magnitude. tune not good unprecedented March heat wave coming across the southwest challenging heat

here in the middle of March in fact this is the season finale and spring is just a couple days away so already getting some heavy heat in the southwest I know we got a couple listeners out there Kenya flood death toll rises to 71

as forecasters warn of renewed heavy rainfall little known virus with no vaccines spreading in California, New Jersey, and the Great Lakes region. I mean, that's pretty much all of America. Earth-directed CME triggers G2, geomagnetic storm watch. Aurora possible. These are topical, low-level.

Well, not the vaccination effects and the electromagnetic field effects that we were talking about. Those were very high level, but the most recent few were topical news. And more topical news, there was a confirmed daytime meteor. So a sonic boom, daytime is seen in the daytime, hurt in multiple states over that Pennsylvania, Ohio area. And that is the newsblitz for today, March 18th, 2026, such a wide swath. Let me bring in future Dan because he's actually standing by. Future Dan, what do you think? I think that that was a great heat map dashboard.

Blitzkrieg by you. Outstanding. I appreciate it, man. I had to be succinct. There's so much I wanted to say about each one, but I just had to get through it. So I appreciate that. Just bringing the reality worldwide dangers, homeland dangers to the United States of America. It's like you can't get that perspective in one place other than Patriot Power Hour. So that was a masterful rendition of tonight's heat map dashboard. March 18th, 2006 on episode 341.

Where do you want to begin? What are you forced to talk about next now that you went through that entire set of things happening all within a span of the past six days? Pretty incredible. I'm going to pivot away from Iran for now and go directly to 56% of Americans suspect COVID-19 vaccines cause. mass, death. That is a huge number. Let's just talk about the facts, though, of this survey, Rasmus Mousen, I can never say that, that particular survey. Everybody knows who they are, though, of 1,158 likely U.S. voters. And this was conducted September of last year, so I would only think it would be stronger now. But anyway, 56% believe side effects from COVID-19 have likely

caused a significant number of unexplained deaths. One third say it's very likely. There is one third that fully dismissed the idea. I know it's just one survey and it's a plus or minus 3% margin of error, but anything near 50% is good news because people are waking up, bad news because it means it actually did happen. them bad news that people might be afraid of taking vaccines for future diseases that really do need them.

Oh yeah. That is super hard to trust them in the first place. And then you have some confirmed issues. Let's just say that. And oh, not good. All of the way I look at, almost every institution out there has been discredited big time. Do we throw the baby out with the bathwater or do we rebuild? I hope we could rebuild.

But man, it's tough to trust anything out there, whether it's the banksters, big agra, big oil. And now, you know, big pharma. Every headline you read, every indicator that's hot right now, you know, people have opinions. But there's also facts. And what this 56% number means to me is, you know, although it took six years, the truth wants to be free. The truth will be known. People will reconcile themselves to reality, to the truth.

The amazing part about it is, in this day and age, how long it takes, six years to get there. When I think previous generations probably would arrive at it within, I don't know, it depends on the topic. There's many, many topics that took decades for people to actually get to the truth. hard to say but we're here on patriot power hour talk about these things early often and have our opinion out there ahead of the curve and we talked about you know two-stage bio-attack bio weapon attack out of china and the pharma and here we go i think i think i think most people are ready to believe it and that's exactly what patriot power hour is all about you just took the words right out of my mouth there We're here to evaluate, and sometimes we're right.

Sometimes we're wrong, but we want to explore and not just take the propaganda. I think part going back to why it took so long, but also, hey, did it take that long? At least it's coming out. Some things could have never come out in the past. So it's, everything's more intense now. There's a lot more noise than ever before, but there's also more signal than ever before. But like if you can't distinguish that, you have no hope. That's the thing.

Well, a lot of it is a matter of winning elections, right? So every two years, every four years, you know, completely depends on today, the party in power on what information is going to get released. And, you know, in this day and age this week, there's a lot of Trump opponents that see him as, you know, having made mistakes. This is the waterloo for Donald Trump with what's happened in Iran, right? But look across the heat map dashboard on the more shoes to drop, right? You know, the DNI director, Gabbard, in Congress, getting asked, why was she at the Fulton County, Georgia FBI raid from ballots from 2020? So many other shoes to drop. Epstein shoes to drop.

Half of that purported, you know, body of evidence hasn't been released yet. The strings that Trump can pull from the position that he has is, it's historical. But had Harris won, none of that would be happening, right? Elections matter a lot. These most recent ones certainly have. I'll give you that. Absolutely. All right.

Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. You want to just jump into Iran? We've got a lot of news there. Yeah, I know you're pissed. You're about ready to jump off the Trump train. So air it out. Air it out. What's the problem? I feel like the longer it goes, it's going to just blow everything out of the water that's been gained. So I got a short list of, I didn't even really put that much into this. However, I'm always putting thought into this.

So here's my best list right off the top of the head. A bunch of items that may get pushed to the back burner or even we start to lose traction on if everything's focused on Iran. Here we go. the border and cleaning up the border but more importantly what happened to the ice raids are they even doing that anymore are we you know what are we doing the cleanup illegals and border what are we doing about

election integrity which goes hand in hand really those are the same thing cost of living's already being blown out of the water the Fed can't cut rates no way now if all this resolves in the next month it won't be that much damage but every day oil is at 100 plus is bad. Cleaning out the swap? I don't know.

How much bureaucracy reform? How much swap cleaning is there going to be with all this going on? The debt, there's no way we're going to pay down on the debt with this. Banksters actually getting in trouble for all types of different fraud. Nah, COVID accountability. At least the people, we the people, the court of public opinions holding them accountable. but yeah that ain't going to happen I don't know

the censorship and lawfare like what happened to the Biden administration for all the robos signing and BS like we should I don't know I guess I never expected full justice to be served on a lot of this and a lot of it's still a shoot a drop like you said

but man like if Iran does become a quagmire that you can't extract yourself out of all this other stuff's and get thrown to the wayside. At best, it'll just get paused, which is good. Hey, we've made a lot of progress in last year, last 10 years,

but a lot of the shit might start getting rolled back. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah, yeah. What else? You got to be pissed about something else. I didn't think that this attack on Iran is necessary unless there's information I don't know about that they really were going to put a suitcase nuke in Tel Aviv or New York

or something crazy like that, but I did not think this was necessary. If they had done a 9-11 type of thing and it was actually legit, even then I would have been like, I don't know, man. Like, let's hit their military sites. But I don't know. So you just blew up the freaking Middle East. It's going to be such a cluster over there and so many fractures spiraling out into the, I mean, this is like the perfect example of how a world war starts. So not like, why did we do this?

I don't know. Maybe Trump has a really good reason why he struck first. And I'll never be privy to that. possible i don't know i did not i wasn't even happy last summer i was pissed you probably remember but this is like 10 steps further so that's i'm just like me i don't know like did we really need to go get in a fight we could beat him up but this is i don't know if it's a good idea yeah yeah his opponents certainly uh want want us to believe that so i know you got other thoughts i want to hear a few you had some in the back channel yeah yeah yeah run run

running down the list again, I want to respond point by point. I want to bring possibly an alternative view, although I don't entirely disagree with what you're saying. I'll say this with the thought that there's only so much time in the day, only so many press conferences, only so much bandwidth and knowledge throughput and all that shit. So there has to be, it has to give a little bit. So, ready? Start with election integrity.

Election integrity. That should be like the number one thing. It's not going to be the number one thing anymore. Well, they're going through the process. process in the Senate right now for the Save America Act. And one could argue that the Iran war distracts Trump's opponents and prevents the kind of intense pressure that might defeat the attempt to pass the Save America Act. And ultimately, you know, if the Republicans had the, you know, the spine to, you know, force

the Democrats to filibuster, make them stand. Make them stand and talk, right? Because after they run out of people that speak, then it has to go to a, you know, a normal vote, right? You pass cloture. So it's entirely possible to pass this. It could take weeks, making Cory Booker stand up for it for 25 hours or make, you know, Chuck Sumer stand out there for 18 hours and all the rest of them. They can, that's going on right now. They, you know, jury's out on that one, whether soon the Senate Majority Leader for the Republicans can make.

it happen but it's in process so you think it might be easier to fix up election integrity if there's everything's gone in iran pass that act pass that act it could be easier if you know if trump's over here on one side doing things that because what he does to you know at least 30% of the country hardcore Democrat opponents, the constituencies, is it's like, you know, we do have a generational thing going on on Patriot Power hour. I'm the Gen X and you're the millennial. So I, occasionally I got to stop and ask questions. Like, did you ever play pinball like at an arcade, like the real thing pinball? Yeah, for sure, for sure. And if you if you're trying to cheat on it and you tilted it, you know, it goes on tilt. Right. Yeah. That's what A tilt really means.

means exactly people probably don't know that are young people and and that's what trump does to that block at will at will it's like it's like it's like the bugs bunny against the tasmanian devil or daffy duck or elmer bud forky big he just messing with them and that might be a strategy to you know cover for you know just force that ram that thing through the senate well let's say this if that's a tertiary effect that was not part of the calculus of starting bomb in a country, I would be like, okay, that's a good externality. Democrats want to believe it's wagged the dog. That's absolutely a distraction from other things.

Right. And I'm not saying it's not. I'm not saying it is. It's hard to agree with Democrats. But I'm almost like it's a distraction of other things to the negative for what I want to get done. Okay. We'll continue on the list then. What else did you list?

for me a minute ago. Doge and swap cleanup. I think Doge has cut as far as it can go and without bigger majorities in both the House and Senate, this is reality. This is the most it can be done without changing the law.

Okay. They got to win elections. They got to win elections. They got a bigger majority. I'm not sure that a four or five seat majority in the house has actually ever ruled this effectively before, right? It's a tiny margin to, you know, on any single vote you can lose. Sure.

Like the big beautiful bill and some of these other laws that have come through, it's actually sort of amazing that Johnson got him through, right? And Trump right now is saying that he's not signing another law until the Save Act is passed, Save America Act. So, you know, this all, I'm actually witnessing, you know, a bicameral. legislature and an executive party doing things the way it was designed to be done. Perfect segue. So the question is, and we'll get back to my list, but almost the heart of it that touches on almost all these is,

will this cause fissures in that very tiny majority where shit can't get through anymore because just enough of people are pissed off about Iran war that they just don't. don't go along with it anymore. And now all of a sudden that slim, slim, you know, margin goes the other way and now everything's screwed. I, I would tend to think the opposite because there's just so many critical issues that are facing everyone that the, you know, there's there's a swing vote in, you know, both parties in the house somewhere, you know, 10 to 15 on either side. right the democrats are pretty lockstep but it depends on the issue right there's room to to get things

done and the how the sentence a different matter right they got they got the they got the rules with the with the cloture got to have 60 to vote to agree to have a vote right unless you filibuster the way through it but yeah i don't know i don't think i don't think i don't think the iran war is going to collapse anything change anything It's almost a side show. And part of the reason why is, again, the reason why on future danger, there's no indicator that says war with Iran starts as a dangerous thing. Because it's not. And something else you mentioned earlier, you know, it can be stopped at any time.

It's an aerial bombardment, right? It's only half a war, really. So it's the half of the war that you could shut off with an order when, you know, infantry. are engaged in urban terrain, the president doesn't say, all right, stop it now and no, no, no, they're in, they're committed. That, that's total war. Trump knows he doesn't have to deal with that. He's not, he's not going to put himself in that position. Quagmire is the wrong word to use. You can't get quagmired in an air war when you've already, you know, obliterated the, the opponent's Air Force and Navy, right? And the other country you're fighting with is,

wiping out the whoever gets appointed next to be in the leadership I mean I'm kind of wondering for how many more weeks can the Mullah regime receive that kind of destruction it can't be endless I feel like this is my over under point right here where I was like all right

I wasn't super stoked about it but if we got it done in two three weeks and stopped fine not fan but whatever But if it goes longer than that, but especially, and here's where it will become quagmire, if they do put Marines on the straight of Hormuz or more, there's going to be IDs and little spider holes and suicide bombers. And we're going to start having one or two or five troops killed a day. And it's just going to be messed up.

So hopefully it doesn't take that route. But it seems like it's, I don't know. That is not a non-zero possibility at this point for sure. Yeah. Trump thought the Vietnam War was stupid war to fight. he thought the ground invasion of Iraq was a stupid war to fight. He doesn't fight war like that. Right.

He's not going to get the results that you get if you occupied Iran and forcibly, you know, exchange the government for something else. But I'm not sure that's ever going to work in the Middle East. So, you know, it's an aerial bombardment. He can call it off, declare victory, walk away. And a week later, we'll be barely talking about it. If that happens in the next few weeks, There's like a criticality to it, especially with oil infrastructure.

So this comes to the next point. Iranian, but other Saudis and the Qataris and all of them are getting a lot of infrastructure blown up. Not all of it by any means, but there's pretty much a blockade as well. So currently, oil price, not above 100. But if this remains this way for much longer, could it be? Probably will. So cost of living and energy dominance. And that goes hand in hand with debt.

I think if it's temporary, one thing. But if this drags on for months, I can be nasty. Yeah. And nasty for who? Maybe by then the Chinese have no strategic petroleum reserve, which might be the point in the totality, right? So, you know, oil industry in the United States, States might come out the winner in a big way, right? So this is an economic world war for

sure and Trump's playing for keeps. I think most of the Iran operation is messaging to our two peer adversaries, the country that inherited the superpower status of the Soviet Union and everything that came with that, which is Russia and China. And, neither of them are you know benefiting from this war and very arguably you know china's going to get economically crushed by it that is very true well i want to talk more about that actually in a second or two um lawfare cleanup censorship speech and all that you know i don't know if i can defend that as much but i just feel like for every press conference that's about iran there's not one about one of these other topics like it's there's a lot of

only so much attention to go around. Yeah, well, this time. It's a lot of time. Yeah. I admit in the last three weeks, it hasn't been a lot of that. But, you know, 2026, it's clearly a different agenda, right?

First Venezuela, next Iran. They're going to circle back to Cuba. And Mexico is well aware at any time. There might be strikes there. And that could change the government in Mexico, too, by the way. And Ecuador, made massive war going on 75,000 Ecuador and troops backed by U.S. 7th group Green Beret trainers and military advisors. I mean, they're doing strikes in Colombia right now, right? And then

in the in the far east, you know, the rocket man launching, launching cruise missiles. When does Trump turn back around and make a spectacle of, you know, visiting the dictator in North Korea and, you know, maybe solving some sharp elbows his way. Firewall Forge in the chat was happening. FireWill Forge. He says, let's see here. His dad's flying today. Haven't heard how it went yet with respect to the TSA staffing shortages. World Health Organization preparing for potential nuclear emergency at the conflict involving Iran continues to escalate. Well, anything the WHO says, I won't believe. However, how about that feature, Dan?

Let's pivot real quick. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. you know, do you think the threat of nuclear war is a lot lower than it was a month ago?

More or no change? No, it's steady. I mean, for the countries that have mutually assured destruction, this doesn't change it. I mean, if Ukraine didn't change that between us and the Russians, obviously this can't. none of this is happening close enough to make the generals in China, you know, start talking about using nukes, you know. There's things that can be done. Remember when the Ukrainians did the drone strike hundreds of miles inside of Russia and hit

strategic Russian bombers? That was dangerous because it could, it could unsettle their triad, right? Now, are you talking about the dangers of nuke of Israel using nukes on Iran or, or, other countries that are nuclear using nukes i mean i'm not sure how dangerous that is if they're not using them against us i guess any or all nuclear exchanges by any country in the entire world just the well did we get any closer to midnight at all or have we gone backwards from midnight because iran's been neutralized or i reject the paradigm with all due respect i'll tell you why Either we're engaged in thermonuclear war with someone who could, you know, obliterate us.

Or what? It's dangerous because it's an environmental and humanitarian disaster somewhere else in the world, right? Imagine if India and Pakistan went at it. That would be hundreds of millions of people killed within a half hour. But besides the fallout, the actual environmental devastation. that came from it, it would be a terrible war between them, right? Not us. So differentiate that.

Some of it is going to be, you know, it's not really dangerous. It's just a tragedy on one hand. But on the other hand, we're fighting somebody, and that's war, and that's dangerous, because anywhere you live in the United States could get struck, right? Yeah, well, if Pax said it'd go after each other, I don't see how. how that could possibly be contained. But I don't work for the RAND Corporation or some other think tank war games this. Why would anybody else step into that?

Why would it? Why would it? There's no alliance. Pakistan is not alive of anybody that has to back them up. India isn't either. China want to start to get involved at all? China would be very worried because, you know, India has nukes and China has nukes. They're their neighbors.

And they're to the east. Right. Exactly. But, but. the radio active. I think China would, as China's record of having client states, you know,

Venezuela, Pakistan, to some degree Iran, they're not faring well. They don't exactly look like the same kind of superpower we are in that respect right now. They certainly cannot have an empire spanning the world like the English, the Dutch, America. They don't have that in their repertoire. As a culture, they're good at pretty good

things. But I guess you're right. They're not very good at controlling puppet states and having empires worldwide, which I'll take that, I guess. Our projection, right? It's projection of power. And they still don't have the Navy. They can get, you know, way out there and challenge the U.S. Navy. But even before we have our Allied navies join us, right? So, You know, this is actually what Trump's doing in Iran could be very destabilizing to the Xi regime. And, well, so when I hear that, I think bad. But maybe that could be a good thing. Maybe it'd be a positive revolution.

But when I hear destabilization of a tyrannical regime, I just imagine something worse coming. Where were you and Gorbachev stepped down? I could see that happening. I'd like to see the, the, the, Cold War completely end with North Korea, Cuba, China, all the declared continuing Marxist, London estates going to that dustbin of history that, you know, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Europeans did, you know, when I was a young man. Most empires don't collapse that way or other, but maybe that would be nice. That's ideal.

That's exactly the way communism should collapse. should or a lot yeah or more crazy radicals get involved take over i'm wondering china what kind of censorship is there like obviously they're going to portray us as losing the war just like mainstream media here's you know making it sound like right now the war spiraling out of control just go to the the new drudge and just check to see the spin on the news right that's what they have to tell their people in China, but what happens in three weeks if the Mullah regime falls? Then what do they tell their people? Like, as I mentioned earlier, you know, eventually the truth will have its impact. And, you know, loss of, you know, face, loss of respect, loss, you know,

I'm not sure China would be, you know, would replace its regime just like Iran. I don't think the, or Venezuela, whatever follows in Venezuela, these might not be the most, democratic societies they got a long ways to go but you know nzhi himself his his tenure as leading china it could be drawn into doubt and he could be forced out of power there yeah some sort of force out is might be good some sort of assassination maybe not as peaceful i don't know we'll find out soon on the patriot power hour actually the topic i want to hit on with regard to china was can you explained the oil situation, straight of hor moves, and why other

reasons maybe China's on the bad end of this really hurting them. Why is this bad for them? Because we make our, we, we produce our own oil. Europe has its own sources too, you know, North Sea.

And China gets it from Russia or the Middle East, pretty much. And both of those are problematic. Is this, this, Chinese economy, they're going to have to lie big time about their growth numbers because this, this, it may be every day it hurts us to some degree. Oil over $100 a barrel is going to cause wealth destruction in our economy. It's going to happen. Things are not going to be bought and sold because of high fuel prices.

That's a fact. But, you know, for every bit of damage to us, what is the multiplier on the Chinese economy right now? I wish I knew those numbers. I would be able to give much more informed opinion if I agree or not with this. However, that's fine. I just have to take it what I look at. I don't think $100 oil is that bad. It's not going to hurt us that bad.

But if it goes 120, 140, 160, no stopping. That would be different. We're not seeing signs of that now, but again, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. I'm kind of over talking about Iran right now. We've got some of the other things to talk about running out of time, but do you have any other points you wanted to make or questions? Do we hit everything on your list?

Your concern? I think so. Well, actually, there's one more. The death of innocent people. We got to weigh that. And also, Israel is just going ham, just blowing the shit out of everybody all around the place now. So a lot of innocents being killed.

Just want to point that out. I'm not sure that's true. I think some of the, some of the, yeah, targeting mistakes. That's true. But, you know, the first major targeting mistake of the war was a building that had X hundred number of school girls in it. But that building previously was inside of the Revolution Regards base. And they actually rebuilt the walls to cut it out so it was outside of the base. And then somehow found families that would, you know, or force families to put all the girls in the school,

creating a gigantic risk that exactly what happened happened. Right. But there's big, like, funerals for the next mula up at the plate getting wiped out. Hundreds of people outside. Those are the regime supporters that, you know, if this was 1945, that's Dresden, that's Tokyo. that's all those people die because they're supporting a regime and we absolutely positively have to put an end of the bloodshed. I'm not saying that, you know, that's lawful war and we should be bombing civilians, but we're not. No one's targeting those giant crowds of regime supporters.

Oh, yes, definitely not Dresden or Tokyo or anything like that. Fire bombing. So good point. And they are very precise with it, but there's, you know, there's a lot of people getting messed. So they don't deserve it, feel bad for them. And if you use that hippie argument for any war, you'd never be able to go a war with a tyranny. So I'm not sure. I'm not sure I accept it.

Well, there's a lot of variables to balance, but that can't be left out. So I just had to throw that in there. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker.

Sprinker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. All right, that was about it.

Let's see. What else? Man, we got so much more. And I got to cut out of here in 15, 20 minutes. I know it's the season finale. Usually we do like two hours. But I'm up against it. Let's just say that.

I'm up against it. That's okay. Any topics you really wanted to hit that we absolutely had to hit? I mean, holy cow. This is the first off? This is the most headlines we've had ever or definitely this year. And we got a triage here. We've got to pick a few.

No, this is probably top, you know, definitely in the top 5% of most that you'll ever see on future danger. Yeah. You know, there's a limit, though. They can get added as they're found. Maybe you want to, maybe you want to circle back on a few of these indicators that actually seem a little bit. disconnected from from from the Iran war if like the private credit crisis or you know the 401k you know accounts getting rated that is somewhat separate from the Iran war I don't think everybody just ran to their 401ks because they ran war you started so maybe

they did I don't know I mean some of these seem you know, contemporary, but somewhat disconnected from geopolitical events. Let's take a look at this 401K in particular. Before the pandemic, about 2% of 401K holders used a hardship withdrawal every year. So like one out of 50 people used a hardship withdrawal. Usually, you know, there's different qualifications for that, let's just say. In 2024, it went from 2% to 4.8%. which is really, really big increase.

But now it went from 4.8 to 6%. 6% of 401K holders are using hardship withdrawals. And that was based off, I mean, that was last year. That was with $50, $60 oil. That was with all-time high equity markets. Now, maybe people are taking some of that money off the top, faking a hardship withdrawal. But it's not super easy to do necessarily.

Foreclosure or eviction was 36% of the reason they did it. Medical expenses 31% and tuition, 13%. So that's, it's, wow, 6% is quite the growth. 3x more than pre-pandemic norms. Don't count out the fact that there's more sophisticated tax strategies that can go up to a Trump IRS and get, you know, a lot of that penalty that you pay when you do those hardship withdrawals wiped out. There is a little bit of accounting.

And people wouldn't admit that in a servant. Oh, for sure. Yeah. The penalties might not be as severe as they were just, you know, during the previous president. And there's also people that want to buy houses, right? Rates, rates were coming down for a while. So some of that's going on. Exactly.

you can't always trust what they say. They might just be getting the money for any other reason. They might be getting it for drugs. Who knows? Final quote off this now. CNBC interview, but I know that this is true. We've reported on it. Nearly half of Americans don't have $1,000 in liquid capital,

meaning cash or in your bank account that you can get, like, same day. $1,000. $1,000. Almost half of Americans don't have $1,000. No emergency fund He says even here No available credit I don't

If nearly half of Americans Don't even have a thousand dollar open credit line That's even scarier Yeah Yeah very dependent position There's not a lot of self-reliance And getting to that place No

Got to cut the corners But we've been cutting corners for a while As society and economy How many corners So that vice is squeezing a little bit more. We'll keep taking care of that. Let's take a look at a $3 trillion private credit crisis. Zoom in here.

Blackstone. Oh, my gosh. This is the biggest name that's popped up in this yet in the last week. We've been reporting on private credit. A little smoke. Whether there's smoke, there's fire. But Blackstone, one of the most well-known of the private credit. it rated its own balance sheet to cover 3.8 billion in unexpected redemptions.

We talked about Blue Owl last week. They froze withdrawals. Think of it as a bank run for rich people. I think that's the right way to say it. We already talked to almost half Americans don't even have $1,000. So it's not those people. But it's the people with, you know, 500k in net worth, 100 or a million, 2 million. They're like, ah, give me my money back.

And this company is like, actually, we're not going to give it all back to you. We can't. Yep. So it comes down to who's directly exposed to this? Who's indirectly exposed to this? And what lessons were actually learned from 2008? You know, are people seriously committed to not letting that happen again? And on episode 341, March 18th, 2006, I'm going to say,

again if there really is a you know a global financial elite billionaire class you know just just cabal just a just a nefarious evil rich kind of scenario out there who who want nothing more than to see don't j trump fail and and mark him as you know his approach with failure that you know you know goes on for centuries right like you know kind of what hitler muslimity managed to accomplish for the reputation of fascism so you know are they going to try to hang that on him well next year would be the year to do it they'd love nothing more to blame it on capitalism and free markets too so inevitable yeah you'll be freaking exactly i can't exactly um they're after you Eddie Roosevelt had the square deal and Franklin had the new deal and whoever comes after Trump,

if he swept out of power after a complete collapse of the capitalist system, whatever's post-capitalist at that point, you know, it's going to be the last deal. The last deal. Not bad. It won't be a good one either. No, absolutely horrible. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker. The platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain. Symptoms include buying microphones you don't need, explaining RSS feeds to confused relatives,

and saying things like, sorry, I can't talk right now, I'm editing audio. If this sounds familiar, you're probably already a podcaster. The good news is Spreaker makes the whole process simple. You record your show, upload it once, and Sprinker distributes it everywhere people listen. Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and about a dozen apps your cousin swears are the next big thing.

Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. I did miss speak a little

earlier. I said, you know, 500K, a million, two million network. Nogers are very wealthy people that are not only have accounts with these private credit, but. but work there and have stock options. So they're not very happy. It's not just, you know, this is the 5 to 1% kind of. It's not the 0.0001% cabal that I talk about as much, but some of them are involved or have shares in this as well. But we're looking at stock price drops in the last few years.

We have Blue Owl Capital. It's lost 61% of its value. Well-known Blackstone, like we talked about, down 40,000. 3% KKR, which is a huge, huge private equity, down 44%. Carlisle Group, I believe the Bush family is all deep in that, or at least they were, down 24%. So not that bad, but still not great. Anyway, wealthy people are definitely taking on the chin here.

They're not going to go hungry, but that's a little, you know, will they get a bailout or what are they going to do about this? That's what I'll be looking at. If they don't bail this out, that might be a sign that they can't bail them out. How about that? I can see Trump turn around saying that no one's getting bailouts in a heartbeat. Well, we'll find out bail out or bail in. We've talked about that, but I'd like Trump to take a hard line like that against the banksters.

I'm not, I don't know. We'll see. Oh, we missed another Iran war, Bankster breaker, Grype. which was your first one on the list about, you know, what happened to the ICE operations, what happened to the deportations. Okay. And I'm thinking, you know, think about all the fronts that his opponents, the coalition that represents his opponents, whoever you know is inside of that, that's just the vectors of attack that he has on them.

What we saw in January, Minnesota, just, you know, I think. think what's happening is, you know, obviously the DHS secretary is going to turn over and they got to play games with Democrats to get funding for the rest of DHS. And, and, and, you know, Bobino, the border commander who is up there, he's, he's out finally, you know, he's, he's going to retire. But just, just bringing, bring in ice back to a center point where, you know, perhaps a lot more internal training and more planning, a lot of less. and learned and just search back at it, probably after the midterms. Looking through the news blitz. I'm not going to lie. Head is spitting. There's somebody I want to hit on so little time. How about this?

News study shows wireless radiation limits 200 times. 200 times too high. So the limits pretty much like, hey, you can get X amount of radiation from your phone. but really it should be X divided by 200. Or that Wi-Fi that you're bathing in 24-7. Oh. Hey, can I tell you my life history of with smartphones? Do it.

It's pretty quick, right? So in 2002, I bought a Sprint Trio 300. This is before Blackberry, long before iPhone. It was the first combination of a PDA personal digital assistant and a cell phone. And it was a flip phone. And it was awesome. Black and white, but it was awesome to have. Loved it.

Used it constantly. I was like the only person I knew that had one. And then within years, that all changed. And as these technologies evolved, I've honestly just become less and less and less inclined to want to use my phone. To me, it's a tool I'll use it or I have to. But if I'm anywhere near like a desktop computer, forget it. I'm not using a phone. I don't watch anything on it.

If I have any choice to be anywhere else, you know, I'm Gen X, right? I'm an immigrant to this technology. I'm not a native. And I don't have to have it. It doesn't go anywhere near my bedroom. I never bring it anywhere where I'm trying to relax. and people know me know that you know you're going to have to you got to reach me on my landline if you want me at home because i'm not i'm not going to be near that phone unless i need it

so that's that's kind of my evolution went from loving it greatest earliest adopter in 2002 to you know after this podcast i'm going to probably put this phone down and barely look at it again tonight nice that's a full evolution i would say i did not have the same extremes but i went from playing games on it all the time and watching it all on things on it to sit somewhat similar to you where i'll never watch a video on it i'll never text message if i could type or talk to someone or voice chat i you know i'm sick of looking at screens generally but i have to but definitely not the little screen the desktop functionality is always ten times better than any app absolutely so

I get what you mean. But unfortunately, I'm still tied to it too much for text messages, like the SMS with your cell phone number that you can't really propagate. That's the anchor that holds it to me. Damn it. I like Signal. I hope it continues to be free and available because, you know. Yes, but like my girlfriends and all the others, they don't use Signal.

Anyway, I get it. I've been telling people for probably as long as you and a lot of people listening in like minimum 10 years, maybe 15 years. Like, don't put the radiation on you. Like, if you're watching TV, like, don't just put it on your lap. Are you crazy? And long ago, people thought I was a tinful of hat, literally, almost, right? Because we're talking about that.

But now it's common information, more common than the, even the vaccine stuff. More people believe it, I would think and hope. There's a lot to say about how the state of California is governed. That's negative. But in the fine, fine, fine print of every device that you get, they have to state that California law has mandated that, you know, people know, that, you know, I think the standard in California is that should never have that phone next to you when you're sleeping, you know,

within arms reach. I don't even bring it to that level of my house. And the Wi-Fi, I hardwire as much as I can in my home so that, you know, I can minimize the Wi-Fi. Because I don't know, you know, a little bit for a short period of time is probably absolutely harmless. But when these technologies rolled out, they had no idea what the effect would be at very low levels for decades.

And the distance is such an important. important part. If your Wi-Fi routers 70 feet from your bedroom, probably not end of the world, but if it's literally three feet from your nightstand, because for some reason, your computer and internet are in the corner of your bedroom or something, that's like, no, do not do that. So the future danger indicator that, you know, this topic that we're talking about is falling under tonight is electromagnetic field effects exposed. And almost every indicator on future danger is pretty much, you know, straightforward about the issue that it's about, the danger that it represents. And I guess there's a few that are general purpose, right?

Many, many, many types of bad news can fall under them. I'm wondering if electronic fields being exposed, would it be dangerous if super weapon systems have been developed for decades? rare exotic exquisite ones that that harness you know magnetism in ways that no one right now

in an unclassified environment is even aware of you know weapons systems that you might be you know part of an information operation on television shows like Skinner Walker Ranch which wants to lead you to believe that's something extraterrestrial

but may very well be something that we built, right? And is able to hover and stare across Iran, all their cities, listening, watching, just there, invisible, constant ISR. It would go a long way to explain how the entire Russian army was prevented from invading a significantly weaker Ukraine. with that kind of exposure of electric or magnetic fields, meaning our ability to manipulate them, would that be dangerous to society in your mind? If exposed. If exposed as being real, this sort of secret hidden technology that's been developed on a side parallel track for the last 50 to 80 years. yeah

I still want it to happen but it'd be a little destabilizing and dangerous I guess but you know not that bad unless you know I'm trying to think of the worst case scenario

but maybe that would shock some people straight yeah create a lot of people that's saying that you know something like that was suppressed for decades so that we had to use oil or something you know

but what if it was the weapon system that our enemies knew existed and they didn't dare say anything and we didn't say anything and it's kept the peace right right maybe some of that's getting you know maybe maybe it's not been in place and ready to use until recently remember the drones of new jersey in the month of December one month after Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump remember that in new jersey yep oh I I literally traveled to New Jersey during, like, during the whole stupid thing. I didn't see anything, but it was, yes, I remember. This episode is brought to you by Spreaker, the platform responsible for a rapidly spreading condition known as podcast brain.

Spreaker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. So we talk about deep state. And it's easy to be simplistic and think that deep state is, you know, all unilaterally one, you know, block of people. And by God, since the Clinton administration, and definitely during the Obama administration, those people did as much as they could to tilt the deep state to their favor, without doubt. It's obvious. But you can't be 100% about these things. did someone order up some very public testing of some extremely secret technology that, you know, I'm talking about orbs.

I'm talking about UAPs. I'm talking about energy or crafts that can be up in the, you know, atmosphere and don't behave like airplanes, right? I tend to believe that, you know, the most likely explanation for this, It's got nothing to do with extraterrestrial off-world. No, I think we got these weapons systems. And if you think about the Manhattan Project, and what we built during World War II entirely secretly and then deployed,

think about how long that took, right? And think about how many years it's been since then. Some of the other super weapons that are now public are, you know, like our aircraft that can evade radar, stealth aircraft. it's got to be other stuff I think I think we're about to have it revealed I think Trump's ready to do it

I think he's wielding weapons that you know every all of his opponents who knew about them were desperately afraid that he would not wield them they're still secret right now they might not be by the end of this year

from the back channel you APs are real we fly them that's what you're referring to essentially that's why that's my work in theory right now there's there's videos over i ran of stuff going on that it's not explosions it's different there's there's iranian air defenses firing at lights in the sky and doing nothing to them and i matched that up with just the you know from my from from ukraine like just the absolute bloodletting on the russian army that

that the Ukrainians were able to do. It's because they know where every Russian soldier is all the time, every heartbeat, every pulse that's a Russian invader, we know where they are. And I'm pretty sure the Iranian regime is being subjected to that too. And what did it take? 20 minutes for this to work in Venezuela? Right.

Oh, that's a great point. And some sort of detection of electrons, Or some sort of heartbeat, infrared. I mean, even just simple advanced satellite would take care of half of this. But if you start throwing in advanced detection sensors, you know, using different wavelengths, blah, blah, blah. We're really at Star Trek level. But I believe that we probably are at some point. I also wonder about super miniature drones that are just the size of mosquitoes or a very, very small bird, hummingbird,

that has sensors way beyond anything. So somewhere, we could speculate forever, but what they can know about us at any time, I mean, there's nowhere to hide. That's dangerous, I guess, but I pretty much presume everything I see is recorded at all times for better or worse anyway. But think about the first two atom bombs,

extremely expensive to make, right? It took a long time to mass produce nuclear weapons. weapons, right? You know, whatever, whatever we got, if this is true, you know, one of the reasons to keep it absolutely as secret as possible is we don't have that many of them. But how many, how many would you need? One for each major city in Iran, just park it over the top and listen and watch everything constantly for targeting purposes. How in the world have we done 7,000 strikes in this amount of time, right? You know, you would think that the collateral damage, the loss of innocent life

would be massive if we hadn't targeted it. True. Every single day, somebody else in the Iranian regime is getting announced and admitted to have been killed. How are we finding them? It was 20 years ago was 2006, and they could put a Tom Hoc through a window in like, what, 96 or 86? I don't even know.

So it's definitely new levels of stuff. I checked on the silver content of a tomahawk. Okay. What number did you hear? I heard something that I knew was like super inflated, but I believe I saw the real number was like 80 or 100 ounces of silver, I thought. I asked the AI to search. And it doesn't know anything that it, I mean,

if a human author didn't come, come up with it. It can't spit it back at you. It's a parrot, right? And it, it told me that someone was claiming 500 ounces. Yeah. And that some actual, you know, aerospace engineer type avionic kind of experts took a look at it. And, you know, they just guessed, you know, 10 to 20 ounces. Still, it's a lot of silver. I remember like, I do remember like the four or five, six hundred ounces. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. But, again, 20 ounces by itself is a lot, but it could be more. Who knows?

But 20 ounces that'll never, ever, ever, ever be recouped. There's no recycling or selling your grandma's silver. If it gets blown into a bajillion of fragments, so every ounce counts, right? Well, don't, you know, technology, certain number of centuries from now might be able to take atomized metal. They're going to be scouring all of our freaking dumps, landfills. There'll be so much gold and silver on the old circuit boards from the 70s, 80s, 90s, buried. But also, they'll just be getting some asteroids.

And then we really won't. Silver will be like five cents an ounce because they'll have an asteroid park in near Earth orbit. Okay, maybe not in the next, maybe next century, not this century. So how much would you agree with this idea that, you know, it was all fun in games. with Bitcoin, gold, silver, at least in this early half of this year, or early part of this year, until the Iran War. And then, you know, the major money players that could speculate in gold, Bitcoin, and silver, you know, now it's, it's, now they got to pay attention to the price of oil and

all their big trades. Would that explain why those three assets are, you know, falling off of their highs during this war? why don't they spike if they are you know a flight to safety a flight out of fiat and and and and if you are inclined to believe that us fighting iran is the you know bringing about the next world war i'm not sure at all that that's true but people do believe that why aren't those assets spiking in price well fed's not going to lower rates so a lot of it is because they thought the feds are going to lower rates that's part of it um silver specifically had all types of breaks put on it six to eight weeks ago we reported on it like margin trading and all types of shut you stopped trading and raised requirements and pretty much did everything they could to slow the price so that was part of it but even today gold did finally drop below 5,000 um pretty solid drop to

today. I honestly don't care that much what gold, silver, and Bitcoin are priced in U.S. dollars. I just want the real thing because when stuff hits the fan, I don't care what. All I care is how many ounces and how many Bitcoin I have. I won't care if it's what it's, what it's valued in when there's a bank hall day and no one can get to their ATM. But I got my stuff.

That's my value. Yep. Yep. Makes a lot of sense. I think I'm going to be buying some gold and doing something a little bit special with you on Patriot Power. There's a little teaser. Nice. We're going to we're going to do something practical.

Real world in the upcoming season of Patriot Power Hour. Ben, break down our seasons, our structure, how we do the equinoxes and the solstices for new listeners. Well, just like the seasons we take four. Four breaks. Well, there's four seasons. We take four breaks around the solstice and the equinox. Spring equinox is coming up, I guess, in a couple days. So we'll be taking our one week break next week.

And then, yeah, in June, June 20th, 21st, around there. And then getting in September and, of course, December, around Christmas and the 21st are thereabout. Those are our breaks. So we've been hitting it out the park. Didn't what do we do? Uh, five episodes in January. And we did, I think four episodes in February. And this will be our third episode of March.

So we've been kicking ass this season. And well, we'll be off next week. However, future Dan, I think if we have a, if we have a dashboard like this next Wednesday or Thursday, I might have to just suck it up and come on air. So we reserve it right for that. or if a lot of those go, you know, it's black.

You know, they start to get to Matt, you know, happening now without a doubt. Can't get worse. It's bad and as it needs to be to be to be alarmed. It's,

it's all breaking down. We can come back together or separately or or we'll patch something together. But, um, yeah, we'll take a break if, if things cool down and, uh,

you know, come back in two weeks. This is probably the, well, we don't have to go. blabler the point, but I feel like most ends of seasons are not super busy except for COVID 2020. We probably did not take a break, I would expect, in the middle of March 2020. We could.

We did specials. We did two weeks. Exactly. So I feel like we are at least at the point where we may not take a break next week. Like, if it continues on this trend, we'll do a show next week. Now it might be like Thursday or Friday or off kilter a little bit, but I don't know. We're still planning tonight. have a show next week but just keep it in mind i'm feeling like we might so there you go so we

really did 12 episodes in the winter 2026 season of patriot power hour that right there i'm not sure we've done 12 and a quarter yeah that's a pace that yeah we never done 48 in a year by usually it's 42 44 so equal or most we've ever done in the season and i thought every show was probably better than the last or at least very top tier like we've been knocking them out so we'll keep that up for next season as well yeah i'd rather just have a completely peaceful heat map dashboard next week with five indicators with five headlines and all grade grade five green topical i wish we could have that but i don't think that there's no way the heat map can cool down that fast in a week right no i don't think so either so we'll play by here as

they say, but another great show in the bag, 341. Another great season in the bag. Yes, sir. Look forward to the spring premiere, maybe sooner on Patriot Power.
