We are back. We are alive. May 28, 2026, episode 349. I had to double check that number. I'm like 349. Is that really how many episodes we've done? Yes, it's not a typo. 349, episode 350 coming around the corner.

I've been the breaker of Baxter here with Future Dan. future Dan. It's been a very busy month, but I feel like looking at today's dashboard, this could be the busiest of the month and one of the busier of the year. There's a lot of headlines tonight, Ben,

and a lot of new indicators, heating up. Other ones we talked about earlier in May, going quiet. So it's a very dynamic news environment. Before we jump into the dashboard, I wanted to see, are there any

big themes you're seeing, anything you want to preface the dashboard run with, because I'll tell you what, the dashboard read is going to be 10 minutes long, and that's if I do a very efficient job with it, because we have, I think, 40 plus headlines. So before we jump into that, are you seeing any big picture trends or is there any topic you really want to hit on? I'm almost in paralysis by analysis where I see all these things that are important, but I can't really determine where to start. That's a challenging question. And to be honest with you, I'm in the weeds from last Patriot Power Hour to this Patriot Power Hour,

seven days of running the HeatMap dashboard, looking for news that qualifies and matches indicators, grading it, posting it out there. And the headlines running for about six days, seven days. So we get a fresh one every week when we do Patriot Power Hour. but I'm so at that level that I have a hard time answering your question. And the truth is, when you present the heat map dashboard and I get that opportunity to be step back and watch it and listen to it, it's when I can answer your question. I don't know what I feel about the trends because I haven't stopped to think of it that way yet.

Nice. Well, that's a top down. bottom up approach where I'm looking at like wow there's so much here I see you know the wide swath on the other hand you see each an individual tree in the forest because you planted them you put all these headlines on and I'm sure you've for every headline that makes it on here you're probably look at multiple so you've been definitely digging deep into the news well without further ado then I'll just start reading them off what do you say yeah let's do it heat map dashboard News Blitzkrieg from Future Danger

Presented by Ben the breaker of banksters All right, May 28th, 2026, just after 6 p.m. Eastern, let's roll with it. Starting with Econ because I am the breaker of banksters. Interest on federal government

debt is eating a record. 19% of tax revenue. 19% of tax revenue is going to interest on the federal government debt. Debtpocalypse. in quotes. There's new warnings of soaring interest costs, a potential spiral. So these are headlines we're actually seeing out there, not just talk.

Bond yields near in the danger zone. GDP growth revised lower for Q1, 2026. Some of the wealthiest investors worldwide pulling money out of the U.S. In the de-dollarization trade, we've seen a lot of, lot of flow to the dollar at the same time. Such, you know, it's just volatility left and right. We'll talk more about that in a second. But the truly actualized highest rated headline, really of the entire night, what's truly

happening right now, well, 401Ks being rated record amounts. And I think we reported last week, 3X. the pre-COVID number of people are using funds from their 401K, and the average balance of the American 401K is going down for one of the first times ever. The average 401k balance down, even though the market hasn't even crashed. So big time indicator.

We'll talk all about that article. That's why it's ShtF in the color scheme and the grading. Well, let's move on. Let's go with health and nature. Really, both of those rear in their head. But let's begin with Ebola. There's certainly a lot of activity and new developments in this last week. We started reporting on Ebola outbreak last week.

But this week, well, let's run through the headlines. Ebola outbreak, death toll climbs in the Congo, as new infections confirmed in Uganda. The CDC has added a few airports, including Atlanta and Houston, as hubs or, you know, screening points for those coming into the country who may have Ebola.

So if you live next to Atlanta, Houston, or other airports and ports of entry, might want to be aware of that. 101 confirmed cases, 220 suspected deaths, a lot more suspected deaths. A lot more suspected cases. So for every, you know, for every confirmed case,

there's nine suspected cases based on these stats. And as we said, spreading to Uganda. Actually, there's Ebola exposed Americans being held in a Kenyan facility. And there's even a couple cases suspected in Europe. We'll keep a really close eye on this. I'm sure the entire PBN network is going to be keeping an eye on this if it gets any more than more severe. Other health and natural type of news,

well, China launches human stem cell derived embryo-like models into orbit. Yes, into orbit in space, experimental biological material. So stem cell, type embryo sort of biological material being launched in space by China, who knows what they're doing with it. And we do have pretty heavy heat waves in Europe and in India, deaths, and all types of hardship. It's not even the peak of summer yet. And a couple big earthquakes, Antofagasta, Chile. There was a 6.9 earthquake. And, hopefully. Hawaii, the big island, 6.0 magnitude earthquake, no massive tsunamis or serious deaths

or damage, thankfully, but hey, anything that's a 6.0 or higher is worth paying attention to, and we had a couple in this last week and the Ring of Fire. So keep that in mind. That is the natural news column. We'll save geopolitics security, even domestic. matters related to security. We'll save that to the end and pivot right on over to the Liberty column. Start from the bottom. Work our way up. Oregon moves toward banning, hunting and fishing.

Not just regulating, banning it. Oregon. Oregon. Think of an organ. She should be beautiful. Hunting and fishing everywhere. Oh, my God. Woman arrested after posting about unsafe tap water.

gotta read that one war unconstitutionally waged well now cuba is certainly in the sites but we still have what's going on in iran and other places of the world but u.s surveillance flights tracked off the coast of cuba president accelerating the squeeze on cuba will there be strikes will there be a decapitation or some sort of raid in iran and around persian gulf etc President threatens to bomb Oman. Treasury Secretary warns about the Ormuz toll scheme.

U.S. forces conducting strikes on boats attempting to lay mines and missile launch sites in Iran. Seas fires sort of holding together, but there's still a couple strikes a day. Few here, few there. Not approved by Congress.

See how this continues to develop week by week. New York City mayor. to force transfer of private property to non-profits. Reporter who investigated Jeffrey Epstein is fleeing the U.S. after an alleged attack. In the last article here in the column, the DOJ urges the Supreme Court to take up case that could lead to pre-election voter roll cleanups.

So, again, DOJ trying to get the Supreme Court to take up a case that could clean up the voter rolls before the election, midterms, and of course 2028, which will be here before we know it. Already the end of May, 2026 very soon. And let's go security.

Let's make this happen fast, because we're going to come back and read all these articles. So we'll try to go fast here. There's a lot. President Blast, Chicago, after five cops were hurting chaos. Supreme Court, Justice Victim was the victim of swatting. or attempted swatting.

Curfews on riotous teenagers in Jersey and D.C. Multiple people killed and missing and injured in Washington State. Major chemical explosion. There's also a chemical leak in California a few days ago. Camouflage clad Chinese illegals caught at the border. Special interest aliens. Taiwan says China deployed more than 100 vessels in region. waters. Second Chinese

Combat Patrol buzzes Taiwan within days right on the heels of the Xi and Trump Summit. These are relatively low level, but each one of these could turn into an incident or could be a bluff, right? So we track all these, but currently they're low grade. We have riders clashing with ice agents outside New Jersey detention center. Leftist activists build a legal autonomous zone around a New Jersey ice facility.

So the riots and ice heating up as the weather heats up. Chinese Navy pushes Dutch frigate from claimed waters using electronic warfare. There was a shootout outside the White House, gunman dead, bystander wounded. Russia closes its airspace in Moscow after assassination fears. Russia and Moscow been hit by tons of drones, and they've been launching more and more into Ukraine cities as well. War with Russia. Continuing, U.S. to cut NATO commitment. Fighter jets are down a third.

Destroyers and submarines withdrawn. Drone support ending. Get future Dan's take on that very shortly. A few more. Army veteran killed from assault outside his Trump-themed house in California. investigate that. American journalists charged with serving as an unregistered

agent of China. All under foreign black ops suspected was that. And the following FBI accuses American who worked for Chinese state media as the illegal foreign agent and president accuses Delaney Hall rioters as

paid. Feature Dan hold me to account. But I think I got all those articles for today's news, please. Yeah, you did. Great job. And I think I'm ready to answer, try to answer your question. Yeah, all right. Perfect. So, so you can see this cluster of news interrelated in different indicators in column two surrounding rioting, political violence, curfews, threats against public officials, Supreme Court, shooting, shooting near the White House. That's a lot of the, that's

seems to be kind of related or at least you could put a boundary around it and say it's all kind of the same environment and the unconstitutional war has provoked things like what we're seeing with NATO that's that's connected then almost every other headline and every other indicator seems to be operating independent of each other it's it's it's Besides those clusters, those two clusters, I see it's very diffuse. So I don't know, even though it's low-grade news, whether just the volume of low-grade news on so many separate trajectories invites a different kind of concern. It's not the kind of concern you'd get when you had a bunch of black-on-red polycrisis happening now, which we don't have tonight. We do not have that.

It's not, we're not in that kind of crisis mode. I've seen dashboards like this have half of these somewhat diffuse, one-off kind of piece of news, quiet down, right? So it's like every indicator is a drum and they're all beating at different rates. And, you know, right now there's a lot of drum beats, but I'm not sure how heavy they are. There you go. The system has energy in it, but it's not really peaking in one certain.

area or it's not necessarily overloaded in one area, but the power's on. There's kind of one way to put it. Like there's a lot of stuff going on. Seems a little bit disparate. Maybe it is, maybe it's not. Sometimes it's hard to tell, you know, in the moment. But I can agree with you that just the frequency itself has to mean something. What does that mean? Hard to know. Is it a seasonal thing? Is it all going to go away? Or is this really saying, like, like, hey, we're booting up for a big summer of violence. Really hope not. But, you know, there is a lot to take in.

So that end of itself is a trend. Yeah, I think the potential for rioting is high. When you see these, you know, like these just teen mobs, what you're, what you're seeing is, you know, just a large amount of people willing to go out in public and break laws with impunity, even if they're, you know, relatively minor laws. Then when there's some political. act or something happens there's a grievance and more people pour out to protest that's when the crowds get

very big very lawless very violent right it's just kind of useful idiots or just dub kids with no parental oversight breaking stuff or fighting each other but if the police overreact to that or allegedly overreact to that someone gets hurt or killed then all of a sudden you got way bigger crowds and bigger potential rights. That's pretty much what you're saying. Or foreign intelligence agency pays somebody to deliver a pallet of bricks on some corner. Yeah. Great point.

So, I mean, Chicago, D.C., Jersey. When, how about this? I think since we've done Patriot Power Hour, there was a few summers that were worse than others, certainly. 2020 was bad. I believe maybe we weren't doing the show together quite yet when there were some other riots before COVID time. But anyway, on the other hand, we've seen where we expected maybe a violent summer, but it petered out a bit.

Ferguson, I think you're referring to. Yeah, that was right before we broadcast together. There you go. Exactly. Ferguson. So I guess where I'm not saying you have to point at a Rubicon like crossing the Rubicon or a tipping point per se. But when do you feel like or what are some signs that you're looking for to say, hey, this is escalating into a Ferguson summer or, you know, COVID riots or even worse? You know, what would be those signs?

Especially in like May or June when maybe things would be getting starting to get a little crazy. heading into the summer. So I'll tell you that we're this a different live show. I would have to say, well, we need to go back and look at what's happening in 2018 ahead of that midterms when Trump was president. But since we're not your average news show, we in fact can go to the riot indicator and hit the archive because I would like to remind myself if we have a pattern. I think it's going to show that there's always street violence ahead of an election when Trump is president. And that's what we're doing here. Futuredanger.com.

It's an archive as well as current news. We have, gosh, I don't have the count in front of me, but more than 100 articles underwrites erupt from January 18th, 2017 till present. So nine and a third of years, almost 10 years worth of articles. and honestly, January 20th and January 21st, the first inauguration of Trump is when you first see your first flare, flare up of riots erupt, and going through February of 2017 as well. So it did start to quiet down a little bit with a spike, quite down for about a year. And then it did spike a bit, as you said, in July 2018, October 2018. we see some high level indicators yeah they go the streets then it went quite until actually

may 28th 2020 in today yeah same thing 28th 2026 literally the same day six years ago los angeles uh rally turns into a riot minneapolis fires uh air quality maps are showing you know the soot and all the burning and then bam the 29th the 30th of may just severe like you have 20 articles here May 30th, 2020 is when it really kicked off. And the suspension of posse comitatis is coming this summer. If the last time, it's the last part of the pattern, midterm of 2018, full federal election 2020, the worst riding. Here we go, 2026, midterm.

It's the last time that they get to behave like this towards Trump. And I guarantee you just because of what happened in 18 and 20 that in 26, federal troops are coming out to put this down if it gets out of hand. So we're already seeing April and in May. We're seeing lawless behavior in the streets. Just wait. Just wait. If there's any kind of interest, you know, especially a racially incited police brutality incident again, it's happening. This turned so quick in 2020.

I'm amazed just looking at it. So you got a few low-level articles in April, and it wasn't much. It was mostly related to COVID and some quarantines and stuff and looters. But May 27th, there was one article about Minneapolis police brutality, obviously. One day later, May 28th, we. got three articles and they're orange high level the next day we got 15 or 20 articles maybe 30 30 30th and by may 31st we had like 50 articles they're all shtf that i mean that just shows within like three days you can go from one seemingly innocuous article all the way to full-blown multi-billion

dollar riots with all types of, you know, foreign funding potentially involved and just, wow, that turned on a dime for sure. Yeah. And ice mega police operations might begin again, right? That could really inflame this. And it might be done to inflame it just a little bit. Some buildings burning down in one city and then U.S. Army is on the streets. they're not messing around.

So New Jersey is where we're seeing right now, at least, protesters clash with ice agents. Protesters say the agents use pepper spray and batons. There's a hunger strike there. Well, I am fasting on almost 48 hours into my fast. I don't consider that a hunger strike against the banksters. But good luck out there, people. Let's do you, I mean, the way you phrased it, that this is their last chance to really get out before an election with Trump's still out there.

You're making it sound like I think it is likely this summer will be. It's the third of four chances. And the fourth will be two years from now at the end of Trump's final term. That makes sense, too. Even if he's not running, it'll still be his term. And for all we know, he'll be like just feeding that idea that maybe he can run again, even though he has also said that he knows he can. but there's dumb enough people right and the more that rioting there are the more people are repelled

by democrats so watch out can become dangerous in these summers leftist activist build autonomous zone them in their autonomous zones in Portland and Seattle and now new jersey yikes if you live within 50 miles of where they put up an autonomous zone you might want to move away that's That's an indicator of where you might not want to live. So let's see. Oops, I dropped out of the future danger by accident. Anything else you want to hit on with specifically with respect to riots and even the foreign funding aspect of it or just brutal political violence generally? Yeah, I think that the president has enough of control.

of the national security apparatus of his administration this time, that he could prevent this. If it's not being prevented, it spirals like it did in 2018 and 2020, I would, honest to God, be conspiratorial that it's a lie hop. It's a let it happen on purpose. Well, hopefully we want to go back in the archive and clip that because I don't want it to be like that. Hey, you heard it here first from the future Dan himself. Why don't we stick with the security national, both domestic and geopolitical national security? What's the latest going on with Iran?

And what do you see going on with Cuba? I'll throw a Russia in there and NATO. Why not? What's going on geopolitically and then come back home again if you want? We already talked to. I can tell you what's going on. I can tell what's going on in my mind. What's going on is on the heat map dashboard, but behind the scenes, I got to imagine the intelligence, you know, covert warfare assault on the Iranian regime, the Cuban regime, right?

You know, covert war spy, black ops has to be extreme right now. It seems like the CIA director has an agency that, you know, once upon a time could do that sort of thing against our. our communist opponents throughout the Cold War. So we'll see if this whole Hormuz straight ends up being what it's feared about and fear mongered about on a daily basis. I think before the election. And I guess looking at price of oil related to that, it's dropped under 100. maybe the fears are over overstated like you said maybe there's a little fear mongering going on maybe not though do you expect this memorandum of understanding to lead to anything lasting

or we're just going to continue down this rigmarole for i think you said probably september october it would get wrapped up and be you know just in time but what i think This is about regime change. It's full court press behind the seams to bring any remaining elements of the Iranian power structure that doesn't cooperate to destruction. It's not going to be the epic fury style of destruction. It's going to be behind the scenes. I mean, that's what they're trying to do. So the job boning memorandum of understanding, oil prices, like if you're over-focused on money,

that will dominate your perspective, but if you look at how real politic works, it seems like a covering layer to me. I guess here's a question. Do you think that this was expected to take this long, or did it not go to plan and it's taken longer than expected? Takes what it takes. You're trying to bring down a tyranny.

But sometimes there's like a critical window where if you don't get something done in a certain, amount of time. It's 5x harder to get done. This is just generally. I don't know even with this. Do you think we've missed that window or did they plan that? This probably will take four to six months or longer. Tell me what war we've ever won that was planned to the T and went on schedule like some integrated master schedule on Microsoft project. Never. Well, that's that's even that doesn't help the situation. That's for sure. No, no. It says that this situation is warfare. applying constructs like planning and timeline to it is some businessman who has no business

thinking about international relations applying a layer to something that doesn't exist. This is warfare. You can stop trying to fight it anytime you want, but once you started to fight it, the objective is to win. And, you know, was anybody running against Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1942 on the argument that he should have won the war by now? Oh, that's beyond apples to orange is completely different. Here's a question.

If, uh, would they have, it's, would they have made a different decision if they knew it was going to take this long, then would they have not started this war if they knew it was going to take this long or were they fully understanding or expecting that they'd take this long? The problem was going to be like four days. There's going to be four days is what I heard. Yeah, and that's the problem.

Trump talks in terms of the businessman who is ignorant of how this works. I think he is not ignorant of it, but he has a persona and he has an audience. He's had financial world listening to what he says for a very long time and with the tariffs for very good reason, right? So he can job on that. But it's not how war works. It's not, you know, it's apples to apples. You're fighting a war against somebody. You're either doing something like massive bombing campaigns that can't be hidden or all the things we learned how to do during the Cold War, which was a hot war in tiny ways constantly.

That's what's going on. And it's a business timeline thing to it. That's part of an audience that believes that that's actually real. I'm not in that audience. But this was a choice to go to war. whereas I would say World War II, we were put into it. We had no choice. By the time you're in it, you're in it.

Planning be damned. You know, Mike Tyson says a good plan goes to shit as soon as you get punched in the face. I understand that. But this was like, okay, we're jumping into the, did we do, you know, we're jumping into it. Are we ready to do it? Did we know this? Here's the point, though. Although that be true, after the war starts, what difference does it make?

Because the enemy has a vote. Hey, I will say, this is academic, pretty much what I'm asking, like it doesn't freaking matter now. That's true. It's a sunk cost fallacy to be like, oh, well, we should have done this or thought of it different. So I'll give you, you know, in that regard. I'm just wondering, like, maybe they thought it was supposed to be like this, and maybe

I'm overreacting that it seems to be taken so long. Maybe it always was going to take this long or maybe, you know, obviously a lot of stuff I'm not pretty much of really clandestine what's going on. Warfare is it's going to take as long as it takes kind of thing. Always is, always was, always will be.

And all the professionals in the intelligence agencies and uniformed services will always say that. Now, you could do everything in your might to try to end it faster, but and of course there's intelligence estimates on X, Y, and Z. But that's solely to placate,

non-strategic thinkers who need to believe that there's schedules that are possible in war. There's not. If you wanted to schedule that was possible in war, then ask the Pentagon to drop the plans to land on the coast of Iran and drive to and occupy Tehran. They'll build a timeline for that, and I guarantee you they beat it. you know, all the costs that would come with that. I'm not saying we should do that, but then you could have a timeline because that starts to get empirical, right? Like, you know, we know about their forces, the size of their forces, their equipment,

their training, we know ours, we know we're better. There might be a huge bloodletting, but we'll get to Tehran in 90 hours or whatever. But this kind of warfare, this kind of like ceasefire clandestine, little bit of kinetic striking. No, there's no timeline to this. All right. I had a couple good thoughts. I got to, well, I forgot them.

But. They'll come back. Sorry for soulpox in there, but I'm real, I'm real politic. You know, that's how I view the world. I have my ideals, but the ideals can't get in a way with what, you know, how the world really does empirically work over history.

You can pay attention to it. Once you start something like this, it ends when it ends. It could be decades. It's at a low level if it's not handled right. I guess I was trying to draw parallel to what would Putin say about Ukraine. Like if they had taken Kiev in three weeks, they would have been great. if they knew it was going to drag out this long would they have done the same thing i don't think so now that's like way more severe than what we're doing we're not losing thousands of men a month

like russia is right now it has been for four years russia russia russia launched um an airborne combat brigade to jump the national capitals airport keeb's airport with instructions all the armor to just drive straight on Kiev. They totally thought they could do it. And had not those aircraft loaded with the best paratroopers Russia

had, all been shot down. Right? And every armored column been broken up in ways that no one thought the Ukrainians could stop. Then they would have taken it. They thought

they were going to take it. But I'm pretty sure space assets and air assets of very exotic types that Russia can't counter put all that to a cold stop and that's that's clandestine warfare yeah we fought it in Ukraine and and we won it it seems to me so I mean we'll continue going on I Hey, it does take time. Things don't happen automatically, but the damage will be done over time if it, if it doesn't get taken down. But maybe they will be able to overturn the regime and all will be hunky dory.

And the U.S. will break the OPEC grip on oil and will run the oil market for 50 years. I mean, that's the real goal, right? Is that the real politic of it and crowd China out? well the immediate effect is to replace the regime and Tran with one that won't kill tens of thousands of protesters That's what I don't believe that see that's the shit that reminds me of the Bolshevik revolution where the czars were assholes But worst people sure came after that But you agree that people protesting that government were slaughtered in January right

Yeah, what am I going to do about it? give them billions of dollars of guns. I guess so. That's, you know, build their leaders so worse guys can get in, you know, and fund that.

Like, you know, who put the Iran in Iraq? Like, look at Saddam Hussein. Who put him in power? We put him in power to fight Iran in the first place. That worked out great.

Well, China's students in 1989 stood up in tandem and got, you know, armored personnel carriers rolled right over them. And China was, nuclear state with you know they were you know not our peer but a close peer even in the late 80s and there's nothing we could do about it that's not iran why do we have to tolerate regimes that do that to their people right and and try to achieve nuclear weapons so there's your rationale

we'll see how it goes but we talked about it in the opening first episode this year of patriot power hour what's the chance of the Iranian regime falling. And I put it at 45% and I'm still kind of feeling good about that estimate. Yeah, I think it's really in the money as they

say. Let's see. Looking at the calendar here. One, two, three, four. I would say in about one month from now, we'll be doing our mid-year review of 2026 predictions. So that'll be here before we know it.

We will. We will. It's a few news dashboard. I know you talked about several headlines that you wanted to investigate. Some sheriff in Texas thinks that he can arrest person for making false claims about dirty drinking water. I mean, that's what he says, false claims. We want to check that article out. Yeah.

Trinidad, Texas, discolored drinking water. This is on a Fox 4 article. posted a message on Facebook. Yes, Facebook. Citizen Watchdog group page. Southern Bell Watch. You know, how those Facebook groups can be, but why would you be arrested for that?

That's crazy. Well, there's the post. I'll just read it verbatim. We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern and deserves immediate attention. If your water looks discolored,

contain sediment or has a strong odor or you experience, you know, health issues that may be related, send us a message. We're gathering information and reporting. And then there's some pictures and video of this. So let's see. Arrested about a month later, literally, um, trying to find like,

I wish they had to complain here or whatever, like, charges she was brought up. False information that creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response. I guess this is the equivalent of like pull at a fire handle on a fired, you know, at a library or a school. Definitely is not. I mean, that's what they're trying to charge her with, though. Is that what that would mean false information that creates fear, panic, unnecessary emergency response?

They're losing a lawsuit. and she's going to make bank. Extreme stretch comb set of her arrest. Yeah, I wonder her attorney is probably right. I'm just hoping there's a feedback mechanism that, you know, sheriffs like this, probably elected sheriffs, have to be smarter than this. And the mayor admits that, yes,

the city water pipes are back to the 1950s and they are having some issues. um hey you know you're getting piled on by this lady on her facebook group maybe you deserve it maybe not but sure is hell can't arrest her for doing that like it's crazy that is but yeah filed a federal lawsuit so that's what's going on so so imagine a scenario where you know really bad earthquake Ebola goes you know parabolic some other kind of mass of fearful crisis situation and you got local officials like this, they'll lock people up at a drop of a hat. Very dangerous.

It has to be talked about on Patriot Power Hour. This is infringement of speech. It's got nothing to do with Colin firing a theater. She did it online. Right. That's a good point. I am very guilty myself. I bet a lot of people are preppers or otherwise.

of just thinking about like the big bad centralized super federal government big brother but like your local sheriff if they wanted to screw you over like you probably could get they could probably do worse than the average federal bureaucrat i guess is my point oh we're we're watching tyranny at all levels on future danger yep exactly and that goes back to my point of like hey if you live within 50 miles of a place where they, you know, have some of this stuff going on. You might want to put a little bit more distance between you if you can. I know that everyone can do that or some people want to stay and fight where they live. That's cool too.

But I don't want to live in certain areas. I wouldn't be living in the city of Trinidad or Henderson County southeast of Dallas. That's for sure. So in Oregon, watch the ecological disaster. that follows if they ban hunting. It will be just a poster child of what woke delivers.

But, you know, unless they want to have, you know, much larger bear, coyote, you know, mountain lion, whatever predators were there to control the

the game species, you know. And there's crazy people in the cities of Oregon are going to you know, link it to animal cruelty. So watch out. We, we anticipated this a long time ago,

and I put it on future danger because things are getting bad. You'll see some of these states start doing crazy things like to ban hunting and potentially even fishing, right? Like, it's cruel to fish. People are, people in charge in Oregon,

if they can think that way, it you know very very dangerous another hot spot for rioting right so watch watch in Oregon 120,000 signatures were gathered and it's going to be on the ballot this fall in Oregon man it also bans drum roll please scientific research on animals, animals and rodeos, no more Portland pro-am rodeo, I guess, operating a commercial poultry business or castrating or neutering livestock in the Pacific Northwest States. So these people are going about it all wrong, in my opinion, instead of getting big daddy

government involved, which is just going to screw it all up, you need to put pressure on those companies that do maybe have cruel methods you can point out you know the farming industrial farming and livestock is semi cruel but you shouldn't be buying that type of crap either or eating that fast food that gets that type of stuff but but making a law where you can't have any sort of scientific or commercial business let alone the hunting and fishing is crazy Running a chicken farm is cruel. How? How that, I mean, depending on how they have the conditions,

I would consider some of it uncouth and cruel, but not so cruel that there should be a law necessarily against it. But, you know, go shame them. Go take out ads in your local wherever, a billboard, and be like, this, you know, this company, they're, you know, have horrible standards, you know, shame them, boycott them. That's great. I'm all for that.

But not changing the law using the power of the government with a gun. You know, that's another level. The animal cruelty, the only cruelty I would even recognize as cruelty would be in the experimentation. And there's experiments that are, you know, Pouchy and the Beagles. Fouchy and the Beagles or cosmetics or, you know, just stuff that. you know, it doesn't warrant the treatment of the animals or the species of the animal. It depends on the species to me.

The rest of that, running a chicken farm, I don't care how big or corporate or whatever. You run a chicken farm. Come on. You know, think about, that's the dystopia of the state government setting up conditions where it can starve its own people. Yeah, that's true. That's actually the real, how the preppers here at PBN should really take it is. This is the state controlling food supply, hunting fishing and raising food. I mean, that's like 80% of what they're talking about here.

And then, yeah, some scientific research and rodeos, sure. There's mostly food and castrating, neutering. Yeah, you can't castrate or neuter livestock. It's like humans have been doing probably for 10,000 years. I don't know. For animal husbandry and stuff, right? So, yeah, insane. people say that's the land of fruit and nuts they ain't joking i guess i don't know probably beautiful

out there i'd love to live out there but not live out there if that makes sense it's a good example of an indicator that in and of itself doesn't collapse the world but any government that brought that about could bring about much much worse things for people all right we yeah got at least solid 15 minutes left on the show tonight patriot power hour 349. We still got a lot probably to talk about. We've hit a fair amount that. We've been efficient. Where do you want to head it next or any? Yeah, you and I were swapping a few articles in the back channels up until this show. And I taught you an article about that author by Victor Davis Hanson entitled, you know, the Thucydides Trap or or basically refuting somebody

else's theory about the Thicittity's trap. And the idea is like when it was, some historians think that Sparta went to war to put down Athens because Athens was exceeding it in power and that a war with China would be that trap where we would, you know, someone would decide that we had to fight China because they were going to absolutely surpass us. And Hansen's basic point is that that was bullshit for Sparta. And that was, you know, the situation didn't apply. And it's certainly not true today because especially after Epic Fury, the, you know,

the relative weakness of China and Russia compared to the United States is on full display. You know, in Hansen's words, United States of America is radically ascendant in power on multiple. different economic, military, cultural fronts. And so it's a sort of, you know, glass more than half full look at the current state of affairs. And you, of course, reminded me of the glass, you know, getting empty, if not almost empty, and, you know, refuted that worldview, which is real politic worldview, with a libertarian worldview. of, you know, how Ron Paul sees Epic Fury and where he sees it getting us. And I did compare that Apple Thorges insofar as what Hanson's talking about is, you know, just, you know, U.S. power, right?

What it is. And what Paul is arguing is, you know, you know, attitudes about it that can have probably long-term effects, but not, you know, you know, Paul makes the mistake of saying, we have immediate effects, in my opinion, the mistake that, you know, there's immediate effects to the way Trump is negotiating with Iran, you know, and, you know, it's not the way United States has ever done things. And I'm pretty sure that's Trump's point is to not do things like ever before. He kind of broadcasts a he was going to be that way. And my, you know, earlier in the show, I talked about, I think it's all just a cover for, you know, letting intelligence. agencies try to bring about changing inside of, you know, Iran.

So, one, your thoughts on that. And, you know, you're talking, talking to me about, like, you know, being the, you know, king of turd mountain, right? But it does kind of make me question, like, you know, how bad could it ever get if we're this radically ascendant against every other country? Yeah, kick of turd mountain is, like, if we keep everybody else down, but we're collapsing as well. Is that a victory or not?

It could be considered a victory. Maybe not. Maybe it's not the necessary outcome either. Here, I wasn't thinking about it throughout the week when we were talking and stuff, but it came to me now is the British Empire. Now I'm no World War I scholar, but it seems to me that Germany was rising quite high. and England couldn't have that and pretty much bankrupted themselves to beat down Germany.

Then Germany came back, World War II. We went over there, whooped them. But really, early 1900s, Germany was starting to outstrip everybody with industry, culture, science, at least being equal to England or becoming equal. And it seems like the British Empire did not want that. And they worked. they kind of suppressed the German Empire Ottomans, kept them all, you know, kind of shook up the European continent

to say the least. You know, the entire Austria-Hungarian Empire is a relic now as an example. That was a lot of angst and death and waste of opportunity. So I understand that's like a real politic thing that we can't have, you know, that happened. So I guess, I don't know, with China, are they going to, you know, are we letting all this happen with Iran or, you know, forcing the issue here to mess with them? Is it the only thing holding them back from not invading Taiwan? I don't know. It just seems like we're radically ascendant. That's the real question. I don't feel radically ascendant in America. That doesn't mean China's

going to beat us and we're screwed and it's a Chinese century and shit like that. I don't feel like we're very radically ascendant here. Maybe I'm a glass half empty or 80% empty, but I don't know. I don't want to be the British Empire who, you know, had a 200, 250 year rise and then collapses because they go all out in a war, whether it's clandestine, cyber, or a land war or everything in between. and then okay we win economically militarily however you want to put it but like you know was Britain in a better spot in 1945 than they were in 1900 probably not definitely a lot of people were dead

I'll tell you that well with the wrong government in Washington DC who's trying to cause us to be radically descendant I can see no other you know nation state ever coming close to the united states power in your lifetime my lifetime the next generation's lifetime it would take self-destruction from inside here and i've said this before on patriot power when when you look at hansson's article he's compared to other countries other times he talks about world war two he talks about you know germany and in britain germany was going to pass britain they were on the way up that that was going to happen and even after world war two West German miracle validated it.

They passed France and Britain as manufacturers as an economy with ease, with half their country occupied by the Soviets. So there's times and places in history where different powers rise and fall. But we're ascendant now. And it's the reason why the modern monetary theorists, the Fiat bankers, they can they can rest assured that as long as the u.s. nuclear arsenal is in place it caps everything that you can run in you know almost any amount of debt and the real question is are they right or are you right i'm watching i'm waiting and i'm ready to report on it if if the federal government ever gets

the day where it's going to default we're going to get the reset that we're in an economic a true depression but you know we've had i've had hippies singing at me for 60 years that we're on the eva destruction but it hasn't been true yet thankfully not um those are all all good points um i don't think we're on the eve of destruction but you know can't take it for granted and uh the debt starting to get pretty crazy i still think we could pull ourselves out of this but going back to the ron paul article it's kind of that mid to medium term or long term 10 15 20 50 year outlook like okay you know we can have almost unlimited debt because we have the nukes fine but slowly but surely that's going to erode just the overall fabric of society and before you know it you know half the people are on

welfare. Most people that are on welfare are just crushed in debt. And all of a sudden, all the youth want to be communist and they think it's really cool. And they vote for communists. And then we're big shit. And that's the kind of the generational churn. That's like, okay, sounds good now. What's the knock on effects? So we do have news. We do we do have news on the heat map dashboard of the mayor in New York talking about seizing private property and handing it over to government-controlled nonprofit. So, yeah, very salient and sound points you're making. It's true.

And that's us defeating ourselves from within, which, you know, when you look at Hansen's article, it's international, internationally, radically, and, you know, ascendant. Domestically? Oh, there's a lot of people we talk about regularly on this show that are dangerous that want to, you know, make America fall again. 100% and I I do feel more comfortable talking about domestic issues because I know international is so you know so much behind it and there's so much that I'm not privy to and domestically sure there's

a lot I'm not privy to but I can call a commie and see a commie take over of my country from the inside when I see one and that's you know I can't lose focus of that is all I'm saying oh never we never will we never will and uh the good news is you know if madame does that he's going to get jammed with court cases that'll be properly heard and he'll probably lose them and justice will prevail but just the the willingness to attempt it you know if if that 15 to 20 percent a radical left in this country changed into 50 percent yeah super dangerous especially with the quote unquote AI revolution uh i'm not saying this is going to happen and i don't think you're saying it either

But there's a lot, especially on the left, who are like, yep, we either need universal basic income or we're going to burn down these data centers. So it's pretty much like we want communism or else, you know, add that fuel to what we're already seeing with, unfortunately, more and more of the youth, it seems thinking it's a great idea. But then again, I swear, once people, if people get responsibilities and start paying bills, usually they become a little more conservative. of his time goes on, but maybe not everybody. What we're looking at here, it's a rent freeze campaign, several hundred thousand, three hundred thousand apartments in New York would be affected, and that's called, you know, relief for the residents. Yeah, but what about the landlords? Sure.

Maybe some of the landlords are jerks, but got a feeling. Let's just boil it down to this. Whenever anybody says, why don't we just forget, all the debt, then I say, why don't we just forgive all the assets? Okay, if we get rid of all the debt, then no one has any assets, and that's the great reset. Some people are like, yeah, let's do it. I don't have anything. Burn it all down.

I don't want to feed into that, though. That's all right. So right. Hey, can you give us a glance at the HeMap dashboard? Just want to make sure we follow up on some other news headlines you read that you expressed interest in. Yeah, let me just. pile on super fast on economics bond yields are nearing the danger zone meaning bond yields are going up interest rates are going up and it seems like the fed might not be able to lower rates with all the

debt we already have we don't need even higher interest rates that's going to hurt so 20% or 19% sorry 19% of tax revenue goes to interest on the federal government debt so okay we can sustain that but what if it goes to 25% 30% you know it it grows it compounds let's just say that maybe not exponentially but it's fast it's not linear otherwise though the markets are at 50,000 Dow like there is no economic collapse they say sell in May and going wet go away, meaning, you know, sometimes the summer's a little quiet. Sometimes it's down a little bit, but usually not a lot of activity. And somehow we're here towards the end of summer.

Selling Maine, go away. Enjoy your European vacation future, Dan. I might just do that. I might just do that. Well, hey, I got a new challenge for you to end. Perhaps we can make it a thing if it works tonight. Just off the top of my head, I was thinking, I don't know, I was looking at the radio and I heard a cybersecurity term, which isn't what I want to talk about in that context, but I want to use the term. And here's the challenge.

I name one part of the American establishment, part of the federal government, maybe something else, just some institution. Okay. And you're going to respond with trust or zero trust. That's the cybersecurity term. And if you answer with zero trust, you got to answer why. And you got to mean zero. Or you have trust, and then you can express how that trust feels to you. You can be a master's of finance.

Perhaps you want to put a percentage on that. But I'll leave it to you. Well, we could do this, you know, I don't know how much time we got left. We could do one agency each or maybe a few more. And just put it on the record where we stand today. Maybe over time, repeat it so that we see where we move to in the future. Well, let me just confirm because I believe in cybersecurity, no trust is a positive attribute, meaning you don't have to trust someone to do the right thing.

and you can be secure without trusting someone. That's like Bitcoin is no trust. Is that what you mean? Well, in cybersecurity contacts, it means every device, every connection, every port, every node, whatever is always revalidating its security with anything else that it's in contact with. Everything's zero trust as opposed to the old days of the firewall. You built the wall around all of it and then you put your, you know,

asset, digital assets inside of there, and they can freely communicate, and the wall protected you. This is defense in depth. Okay. That makes sense. Individual little defenses instead of one big moat.

No front line. You got, you got all these fortified positions in your territory littered back, kind of like the way the British defended against Rommel's African Corps. They built up these little positions where you could drive the tanks in, and further you got. them in there's just all these different positions that would keep fighting back zero trust every node of the network's fighting back but in this patriot power our version of it i don't know if

zero trust is good or bad there's no right there's you know maybe it's good thing maybe it's a bad thing maybe it changes over time oh this is a tough one i don't even know we could try we could try So let's start. You throw at me any institution off top your head and I'll give you my answer. A random one, but it is important. Department of Energy. Trust I have in the Department of Energy is when it comes to storing, moving and handling nuclear materials, I think the record pretty good.

They've got a lot of processes in place. They cooperate with the Department of War. If they ever need the muscle to keep control of those things. Now, depending on the administration, if it has energy policies, you know, I don't trust it to ever be permanently a growth organization with the federal government on the wrong hands. If you do immense damage to the economy. But right now, that's not what the Department of Energy is. So right now, you know, my trust is fairly high. all right i picked that one actually not randomly but specifically because it has the nukes but it also

could have that whole green agenda or you know all the stuff around energy all the different so great answer i think yeah you tried to try to spread me in directions i like that yeah um um so that was a fastball but i'm going to do you of an easy one and maybe uh we can wrap up the show with trust or zero trust tonight. But yours for tonight, the inaugural challenge of trust or zero trust. I'm going to give you the Federal Reserve. And I don't want to just be contrarian, so I got to actually come up with a great answer. I trust that they're doing their best job to keep the system together and make themselves and their friends money.

so I don't think it's in their interest to let the system collapse so I kind of trust them to try to keep it together but I don't trust their motives does that answer it or am I totally off base well that definitely exposes part of this analysis to what do you mean by trust right you can say I trust them to do everything wrong and be evil too but what we're kind of talk about is the positive kind of trust and You know, I'd give them zero trust because they're founded on a predicate that was flawed. That, you know, you can create an unelected fourth branch of government that you can actually manage economies by managing inflation and unemployment through rates that are set that somehow private entities march along and believe in. The whole premise is flawed. So I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't,

trust the premise. So I don't trust the organization or anything that stems from it. You're actually, now that's a lot more idealistic than I was the rest of the night and you're being a lot more real politic than you usually are. Right. I had to flip it on everybody for the

very end of the show. Yeah. Good. Keep everybody guessing. That's what we do. Patriot Power Hour. Another great show episode 349. Anything else who going to hit on. Yeah, we're going to get some dangerous weeks in June, June, I expect on many fronts. Stay tuned on Patriot Power Hour. We're bringing the news. And like usual, we can be on the air at any time,

if need be. So we don't want to be, though. We don't want to be. We want to see that heat map dashboard stay relatively cool, peaceful. Keep it that way. But if not, guarantee we're talking about it with my co-host, Ben the breaker banksters. This is Future Dan, episode 3.49, May 28th, 2026. I'm proud to do this show with you, Ben. And thank you to our audience for listening. You can reach me at Future Danger number six on X. How about you, Ben?

Bankster breaker. Bankster breaker on X or dethrone. the banksters at proton.m.m. Awesome, man. Great show. I'll see you next week. Oh, programming note. We'll be expect to be live next Thursday the 4th.

And then probably have our season finale on or around June 10th. We'll take off our summer solstice the week of the 15th or so. I'll probably be out of. town i'm not sure though but again we always reserve the right but we got a couple more episodes future dan it'll be the season finale then we'll come back right around july just before fourth of july celebrations we'll come back with our season opener and our mid-year check-in so that's the plan yeah and the spring 2006 season finale we're going to touch in on our predictions see how we're doing since january so always trying to get better at this and uh look forward to that show

Ben. Yes, sir. All right. Great show. Talk to you next week.
