You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of Future Danger.com. Well, it's Thursday night, and we are live once again, Patriot Power Hour. September 3rd, 2026, it's episode 360. Future Dan, we got quite the show today. I got a lot of talk about. We got the dashboard, of course, but, you know, what's big on your mind right now?

Where do you want to start tonight? You want to talk about the Republican midterm convention? I don't. Convention? No, no, no, I don't. That's not really baby two power hour. You want to talk about the murdering mother of Massachusetts? no that's sick too no no i don't want to talk about that either that's not our show it's not what we're

doing here tell us what we're doing here bet we're looking for danger on the horizon and we're trying to learn lessons from the past at the same time and we're here on prepper broadcasting network preparing but also trying to prevent disaster down the line we're not totally giving up to it though so how about that yeah but try to put a stop to it help help prevent it it. Yes, sir. Exactly. So we are focused on the news, but we do, yeah, try to talk some big picture topics, a little philosophy here and there. But honestly, we got so much news going on right now. I don't know how much kind of, you know, philosophy we'll be talking about tonight. It's a lot more news, but here we go, man. How close to fundamental breakdown society do you feel we are right now?

how close until it all collapses. Way too close, in my opinion, in a few ways. The easy one is power outages. Our entire civilization is based on electricity, and I just feel like the system is not very redundant. I hope I'm wrong. But number two is just all the social services, welfare, EBT cards, like even that people are starting to fray at the edges, right?

if that got turned off or we just, you know, inflation starts hitting double digits for every single month to be a big problem. I sense that you feel we're closer than usual right now. Usual being the entire period of this show, 360. Yeah, I would say, 2017. I would say except for like the heart of COVID, I would say I felt more like things were. refrain at the seams in March 2020. But other, besides that, we're kind of at that high watermark or low watermark, however you want to say it.

We'll see, we'll see what's going on. We're watching some economic indicators that have me a little concerned, certainly concerned with a lot of things on the dashboard here. So, but how far is that from everything breaking down? Tough to really determine. But like I said, the EBT. by themselves would cause a lot of rioting. That's why I live far away from that, though.

On the other hand, we didn't have rioting this summer. Well, it still feels like summer most places by a lot, right? September, but it's still a heat wave in the country. But made it all they do this summer ahead of another federal election. First one in the entire period that Trump has been in power, either term where there wasn't rioting in the summer before the election. Millions and millions, possibly tens of millions, hundreds of millions,

do we know of funding and grants are not going out to all these NGOs and USAID and all that. I know a large portion of the funding for not riots, peaceful protests. That is cut off at the source now. Was that enough to prevent it from happening again?

I don't know. But my own inside information on my own intelligence, let's say. Man, all these funding partners and organizations that were putting on

pro, let's just say it straight out, pro-democrat, anti-conservative, like millions upon millions of dollars per year that have been documented on the show and otherwise. They are laying people off big time, massive amounts. of internal strife and infighting.

So they're fighting over scraps, et cetera, et cetera. So I like that. I like the fact that hopefully that results in less riding, et cetera. That's not going to fix the problem at the source, but it's a good sign. Yeah, well, we got a road on the edge of a cliff and we're swerving towards the edge here and there. I got to be honest with you.

I think your judgment, how close we are to the edge, isn't the same as mine. I think we've got a lot of important, dangerous news to talk about on this Patriot Power Hour 360, but I'm not entirely convinced we're that close to the edge, at least not tonight.

Well, I would focus, as I am the breaker of manksters, on what's going on with treasury rates and fixed income bonds. And if things continue at the rate they are for the next month or two. Well, things may not fall apart. They, as we've said, may have a couple more opportunities to kick things down the road. But we've seen evidence that some of the Bankster scheming isn't

as effective as it used to be to cover things up and kind of extend and pretend. Well, that's safer. That's safer. Maybe until it's not, though. It could all just fall apart overnight as well, though. But I mean, if you consider with 1921, 29 black Monday, whatever, all that. I mean, 50% of the population did not die because of that. So it's not like total collapse. But that is very likely still. So what's your gauge of that, I guess?

My gauge that's future danger heat map dashboard. Every week we take a look, see where we measure. See how the news today bears to the past, at least decade. and with that I'd invite you to run us through with a Blitzkrieg tonight. September 3rd. Let's do it. It happened. Episode 360, record diesel price is where we're starting.

Yeah, gasoline's pretty high and has been stopped at about four bucks a gallon, but diesel keeps on creeping up. So all-time record diesel prices. We're seeing Florida housing. market going into a meltdown, 20% plus loss and value, at least paper value, now that people are trying to sell, as well as other indicators that the market's going down there. Global bond yields soar to multi-decade high. That's what I've been talking about, which means the price of the bond is going down.

Remember, yields up, bond down. So this goes hand in hand with the other article, global bond route, the price being routed. gathers pace as inflation fears mount and then there's another article just confirming the gas prices above $4 all of August. So the entire month of August, $4 or higher setting a record. That's economics. Let's move on to nature and health, natural indicators. Heat indices over 110 degrees Fahrenheit forecast in South Texas here in early September. El Niño prompts

drought alerts in El Salvador and Honduras as well as Panama, which is declaring a national emergency. 6.3 earthquake in Alaska. Nikoliski seems Russian. The flood in Nepal, the boat Koshi flood death toll

above 675. And even here in the United States, more than a dozen people missing from a Grand Canyon flash flood. So always, you know, try to prepare where you can, but sometimes it's not much you could do. Under pestilence befalls, there's a measles outbreak, 98 cases in Wisconsin, and Ebola outbreak, the Bundy Bugio Ebola outbreak. becomes the largest on record with 5,794 cases, and almost 2,800 deaths. So almost exactly a 50% death rate for at least who they verified as a case.

So largest on record and 50% death rate, not 1%, 2%, 5%, 50%. Southern Big Sur, there's a big fire. And then out west, many more fires. They counted more than 51,000 wildfires this year, more than 8 million acres burned. And if you look at the 10-year average, so going back last 10 years, they were at 126% of the number of fires, so 26% above average in that percentage terms. and 165% for acres burned. So well above average at 126%.

If you say 100% is the average, well above for number of fires, but for acres burned 165%. So unusually large fires. All right, let's move on. We have Liberty indicators, the first column. I have a bias against Liberty indicators. I never start with the first column.

I need to start doing that because it is the leftmost column. FBI probes service selling 153 million American driver's license. Darn near half the driver's licenses and maybe more for all I know. So there for sale, not even that expensive. 24 states to sue U.S. Postal Service over mail-in ballot restrictions. The feds arrest a foreign national in California on voter. fraud charges. Representative Massey names alleged Epstein co-conspirators on the House floor.

Part of the public record forever. Another Act Blue official pleads the fifth in a House probe of alleged foreign donations. Yeah, foreign donations too. For sure, on the rioting that we were talking about earlier. But elections in of itself being manipulated by foreign donations. And at the Shtf grade for the night of the liberty indicators, the most important and actually happen right now

continues to be under the war unconstitutionally waged column after about a month of a tentative ceasefire, but it did hold together from, About a month while that has ended. Iran and U.S. have traded strikes. President Wayne Limited strikes. Well, guess what? We're going to be, he was looking at Carg Island quickly thereafter and did complete those strikes. So that continues about, I think about, I think we're at the six month, just past the six month now, Mark.

let's move on to national security domestic and foreign foreign and domestic another indicator we've just seen all summer long that's been at ShtF level the entire summer as well is foreign black ops suspected a Chinese owned shipping company was collecting intel for Beijing

had concealed equipment on ships imagine what kind of data they can capture and all types of things they can do in all the harbors of the United States. American citizen who worked as an agent for the PRC sentenced to two years in prison. A widening purge as China oust four senior military commanders. We really watch that. There's even an entire indicator around that Chinese commander's mutiny. It's not ShtF grade.

It's of a more for your information to see what kind of trends come down the line. But it's there right now. Certainly worth watching. Italy seizes Russian tanker after Russian president threatened reverse action. NATO scrambling fighter jets. Norway ceases Russian ship. Worth Russia starts, but also low grade topical news. news for now, always worth monitoring and building that infrastructure down the line.

With that said, we got one more article, excuse me, one more indicator, mega police operations conducted. And the two headlines under there, DHS to launch voter fraud investigation surge, just in time for election season, the next two months. and nearly 2,200, that's a fair amount. 2200 illegal immigrants arrested in New York. Future Day, and that is the newsblitz for September 3rd, 2026. Yeah, and our audience has heard us talk a few times about not all indicators are of equal weight, right? You know, some are more dangerous in and of themselves and others.

So just because they're hitting grade one black on red happening now, doesn't mean that they alone have enough weight to be considered, you know, a complete crisis. It's when they all add up, right? When they all start to go black on red, we get, you know, a poly crisis ruined. This is pretty normal this distribution for the whole summer, to be honest. But what I thought I'd ask you is which headlines there are clearly the most dangerous in your mind because of the weight of the indicator, not just the grade that they're at the night.

And the second part of that is, are there any there that you questioned, like, what's that got to do with that? Like, why would that be dangerous? All right. Great questions. My first gut feeling or gut response, war with Russia starts is the most dangerous

because it could just mean total thermonuclear war for the world. So that's always one I don't want to see on here, even if it's low grade, as you say. Other ones, hmm, that are like super dangerous that I, no matter the grade, just seeing them at all make me worried. Elections are stolen is definitely part of that. I'd have to say, just because they are, they have been stolen. And even if, uh, even if they're able to rain that in somewhat, that just degrades the overall trust in the system, even myself,

hard for me to trust the system at this rate. And that is not good for your civilization if, you know. But then on the other hand, do you really want to trust the people? So anyway, point is, I don't know,

if your elections are at risk, that is a huge liberty risk. So I can make an argument for a lot of these that they're super dangerous or whatever, but I feel like nuclear war with Russia, and totally fraudulent elections slash, you know, destruction of democracy and the Bill of Rights in America, that's bad. I'd say that the mega police operations conducted would be maybe you'd question, well, why is that dangerous? Well, if your favor of the mega police operation, then you tend to overlook it.

But if you're adverse to the targets of a mega police operation, it's dangerous, right? So right now it's illegal alien roundups, which I entirely support. But agencies that get big, institutional knowledge, have a lot of lessons learned, can, you know, apply best practices in the future. all the got to do is switch the organization at the targeting, the population of the targeting. And even if, in this example, 75% of what will become ICE veterans of these mega operations aren't there in the future under a different political power, the 25% that remained carry on that knowledge of how to conduct these ops. So that one's a little bit counter-intuitive, and I want to jump into it. But for the ones that are, you know, max danger, I absolutely agree that, you know, the war with Russia or the war with China, when it shows up, those have weights that nearly no other.

There's a few economics, maybe, like a complete stock market crash, right? So the federal government defaulting, that's the heavy weight in column three economics, the federal government defaulting. Some of those columns have heavyweight kind of indicators. Like if that's happening actually now, it's absolutely indisputedly super dangerous for everybody involved. And Russia and Italy are, I should say, Italy and Norway seizing Russian commercial ships,

that's crossing a new line. And the Russians are going to do it to them. So I don't like that one bit. Norway seizes the Russian ship over $4.2 billion claim by Ukraine. The damages. So they're finally, as you said, actually enforcing it. I have a feeling this was, yeah, this was going back to Crimea, when Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014.

So now they're actually trying to enforce it or enforcing it, de facto seizing the ship. dangerous for sure. And the other that's in the same column was Italy. He's in the Russian tanker and that's EU commandos board six Russians

to Shadow Fleet Tanker. So EU commandos on a Russian tanker. That sounds pretty scary there future day. Yeah. And Russia's going to be emboldened to do it to them. And Putin says much.

They're going to wait. They're going to watch. They're going to look. I'm going to look for an opportunity. So that's low-level warfare on the high seas, is what that is. No one's getting killed by this yet. But it's, and meanwhile, Ukraine, Russia, just massive ballistic missile bombardments. Almost everybody living in Ukraine is underground 90% of the time. You got that hellscape to remember that that's going on at the same time. Yeah, it's gone on almost four and a half.

More than four and a half years now. Holy cow from February 2020. And still on going really hot. September 2026. Wow. The, I wanted really quick comment on the mega police operations conducted. I could certainly agree with that.

I remember even talking about going back in the day, 10 plus years ago, writing article about FEMA camps and all the, it a fund that surrounds FEMA camps and Internal Security Force, DHS, Obama's force, right? And we didn't see that fully materialized by any means. But as you said, there was a lot of funding of that. A lot of infrastructure that's being used now was invested back then in 10 years.

And all it takes is switching the target from an illegal immigrant to a patriot. There you go. So maybe it took a little longer than that. I expected, but that's something to keep in mind. So I just want to point that out for sure. Yeah, yeah, definitely. And you know, looking at the 2024 election when there was hurricanes in Florida

and some FEMA officials were caught exchanging emails, pretty much telling them, don't go help any house with a Trump sign on it, right? You know, if more for that, my entire history and observations of FEMA is, is that there ain't never going to be FEMA camps because that agency doesn't have what it takes. It doesn't, forget about resources. You can throw several trillion dollars in that agency. The way it's constituted, it can't affect much at all.

And the 2005 Katrina hurricane, what was expected of FEMA to be able to do it's obviously over-expected, right? Like, it wasn't designed to be that way. If the state itself is collapsing, we don't have an organization called FEMA. I could go stand it up. That would be called the U.S. Army. They could do it.

And in fact, they have to every time it gets bad enough, right? But there's never going to be a FEMA camp. It might be a sign that says FEMA. That camp would be guarded by the U.S. Army or it wouldn't exist. Right. the side might say FEMA for sure let's see I feel further away from that than ever right even from 2005 and all of the FEMA camp fear mongering and FEMA 18 wheelers caught loaded with guillotines if they

were going to go kill populations like that all scaremongering sort of like that legend and lore of the alt-right that I'm going to got exposed to after the financial crisis. And I said, well, wait a second. Let's see if that actually ever materializes, right? And that's the genesis of future danger. Sitting and just absorbing that media and distilling each one of these things that this could happen, this could happen.

I heard that's going to happen down into, you know, tangible, measurable indicators. And, you know, dependent camps exposed. look for it. It's on the heat map. Way down in the blue inactive, boom, because it's never had a worthy headline to ever substantiated.

Only three articles in a decade. So there you go. Let's read them super fast. The path to COVID concentration camps in America, question mark. This was a New York State Assembly bill that was being looked at.

And then here's, so that was January 2021. August 2025, last year about this time. There was a Texas detention tent camp, $1.2 billion army contract, as you pointed out. But just the topical news. It wasn't the AP, though.

And then May of this year, large-scale immigration detention hubs. DHS pushing forward with that. But I would say this for the, for some of the alt-right conspiracy theories, there were definitely poison pills where they would put stuff in there on purpose to make it look stupid. For example, the guillotine or the particular pizza restaurant for Pizza Gate.

Obviously, we saw the entire thought process behind Pizza Gate was true, but all this one particular restaurant, it was innocent, so therefore the entire conspiracy thrown out, that was on purpose, in my opinion. So that's what I would have to say about the guillotine. So, all right. Where do you want to go next, man? Probably need to talk about that diesel price. You need to talk about that oil war.

The northern oil wars, of course, Russia and Ukraine, the southern oil wars, us and Iran. Probably need to talk about that. All right. Supply crunch. And I'm not going to go through my AI. right this second, but I did update multiple AI models I've put together over the last six plus months. And they've confirmed that there's still, of course, serious ramifications from Ormuse closing.

But the most important thing that I think is that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve continues to tick down. And if it continues at the rate, it's been going the last couple months, it will be at the, let's just say, legal limit, they're going to have to ask Congress if they could do, you know, or at least more. Now I'm sure they would be able to. But what I really what I want to get to is oil prices is one part of it, but it doesn't have to do with the refinery aspect. Okay.

So that's why we're seeing, yeah, oil is high, gas is high, but diesel. There's some problems with the refinement, number one. But number two, the demand is just still out the window in terms of, you know, very high. for the diesel crack spread, as they call it. So, yes, usually from what I've just gathered myself in the last few years, diesel is about a dollar higher than gas. I remember when it was a lot less than that and almost the same price as gas at one point back in the day. But anyway, so let's just say gas is about $4 a gallon.

Well, diesel is $5.80 a gallon. So that's almost $2 more than gas. And of course, diesel is used for farming and trucking and blah, blah, blah. So the point is, yeah, gas is high, oil is high, but diesel is just going crazy right now, future Dan. Yeah, I'm just listening to this thinking about what the, I just think ahead about, could you name like maybe the top three things that diesel's not a input, the diesel price isn't an input to the cost that people buy? first thing off the top of my head is you know there's definitely been a

you know back to the land kind of organic food big big growth in that it goes right hand in hand with make it America healthy again right eating local and and so maybe food can it's still a vast majority is going to get transported with diesel 18 wheelers

I can't even think about the two other products would be on that list can you I don't think so. I don't think so. That's how central diesel is the price of everything. Yeah, I really came up with a blank here. Maybe we're missing something. But yeah, so much diesel is used and at a minimum the trucking part of it. But railroad, of course, too. So, yeah, I think if anything, anything's coming from more than 10 miles away from you,

it's going to require some diesel if it's on a supply chain and you know maybe you go to your local farmer's market or whatever maybe they plan it by hand if so it's going to be so expensive anyway it'd be cheaper to get the diesel factory fueled but anyway point is yeah inflation up up up and it's not going to abate and in fact jackson's hole the banksters and friends they cannot rate or they cannot lower interest rates right now. In fact, some of them are voting to raise interest rates because inflation is looking so ugly. They need to raise interest rates.

That's scary. Proof to me that it's not going down soon. The diesel's not going down soon or the economy's not going to collapse? You just said it wasn't. You just said diesel price wasn't coming down soon. Prove that to me. Show me why you say that. Well, I mean, I mean,

I don't have the statistics on hand. I can build you the model for that, but why would you got to prove to me the other side of the coin then? What would you say that would have it go lower anytime soon? I don't know what the price of any of that is going to be next week. So many things that could affect that. So your category of the saying it's not coming down soon, I don't know if that's true. Might not. might be serious

serious good arguments why it has a very low chance to come down soon but not sure I could just go with oh yeah that's that's the way it's going to be ah well I'd have to caveat everything I said if I was going to play that but I get what you mean well deals up 55% since

the war in Iran February 28th so so until it's 5% in the same time period right exactly if it ends as soon as it ends and doesn't look like it's ending any time. Yeah, I don't know. You know, Trump's so I'm able to invoke the Defense Production Act and federally seize the companies that aren't outputting it at lower prices, right?

Bernie Sanders loves that idea. Seize the means of production. It was Chuck Schumer who suggested it to Trump during the COVID crisis. And that's how Honeywell and GE got told. make ventilators that they had no possible way of making because they were all offshore to China. That killed a bunch of people and it was totally unnecessary. I never even heard about them delivering squat on ventilators.

It all just went away. But same thing. Those laws since the Truman era, I just, you know, since the nuclear war potential for Armageddon, you know, if it happened or if it got close to happening, clearly Congress gave the President power to do that sort of thing. well the markets would generally agree with you because they are still damn near close to all-time highs in the stock market at inflated values though of the inflated dollar but regardless still doing quite well we're seeing interest rates go up which is bad but it hasn't like totally blown out of the water they are able to sort of kind of control this I just think at some point though the vibration in the transmission is going to just blow but I don't know what I'm looking at of course gold silver

Bitcoin still showing high elevation $4,500 gold 67 silver Bitcoin was up 6% today 5% at 81,000 but they're not screaming super panic right

so things are holding together I would say yeah the integrity of the financial system right now is a solid 3.5 out of 10 so they may be able to keep it like that for a while. So would you like to revisit the UFC

Octagon bout metaphor we used to describe the U.S. Iran conflict this summer? I think I got an update on that that bout. Right.

In terms of... So it looks like to me. And last time we were talking about, you know, the first round was just knockout punches on Iran and down to the mat. And then you know, they're just the mosaic

features of that theocracy, you know, prevented the collapse, right? The next two rounds this spring and this summer have seen Uncle Sam come out and just push around to the ground and put another choke on them, put another arm bar on them,

you know, wrap that inner elbow around somebody's trachea and just, and Iran's just somehow able to hold its breath. But, I mean, at some point, I don't think it can. I mean, economically what Basant put out there, they're going after Chinese banking. They're shutting down banks in the Middle East that connected anyway with the Iranians.

How long before the Iranian regime has to just tap out? Hopefully soon and then we can go home and stop messing around there. I mean, how long until the Afghans went, like, quit? Like, they never quit. They're just, they'll go until they die, and then their kids will go, and they don't care. True. Enough about that part of the world.

But, you know, how long before the IRGC, you know, goes unpaid forever? Like, you're just going to be in that military and not get paid? Like, what are you going to eat? It's a good point. Yeah, for every one, you know, a little bit of pain we have. multiplied by 50 for them for sure. So I think they're going to turn on each other.

Well, the people are going to turn on them. And honestly, if this was within our control with clandestine operations, now's not a good time for this to end. Because there's a big swath of voters whose attention span can be, you know, looking entirely somewhere else, no matter how bad this week was. they'll be looking at something else next week. Maybe that's us. I don't know.

Every single week, the heat map dashboard is changing this summer, and we're talking about this Thursday night, not always looking back at last Thursday night. That's most voters now, right, with the velocity of information, right? So why choke out Iran in September when you might be able to do it in late October? If it's only a couple more months, then, you know, It would be recoverable, but if we're looking at a one-year anniversary and still messing around there and oil is still at 100 plus, diesel's at 6 plus, that'll really start to hurt. I'm just asking a question.

Like, as an information operation to sway the election, what about a complete, you know, a very obvious worldwide accepted capitulation from Iran right before the election? Wouldn't that be ideal from the point of view of the president? If he has that power to pull that off in the few week window without it blown up in his face like three days before the election, literally or figuratively. But yeah, that would take some precision, I think. I don't know if he's got that much control over it. Right. Because in March, when we bombed every radar and all of their surveillance systems absolutely fractured their chain of command. and you know could basically turn off or on power,

disabled electricity anywhere in their grid anytime we want, that we haven't bothered to build the clandestine ops necessary to do that. Like you think after bombing was ending, no one even thought of trying to build up a resistance to overthrow that government. What's, I mean, will it happen? I guess they got a couple months to pull it on. Well, what's it?

What's it? building up that that capability or that capability having an effect. You doubt that that, not just the United States, Israel and many other countries would have contributed clandestinely

in funding, training, feeding information, doing everything like you know, like the free French in German occupied France, helping an infrastructure get ready to oppose that regime. You get

kind of believe that's been part of the campaign all along. Yeah, I'm sure billions of dollars has been put on it for sure. Yeah. So is it going to work or do anything, especially in time for the election? I don't know. It's not going to come down? I don't know. That's what we do this for us.

Look at the potential trajectories and also understand things you go in different directions from here. And which combinations start to, you know, bring about the calamity that we focus on. And this network focuses on, right? The calamity that most people are preparing for. Speaking about the elections, 24 states to sue the post office. We talked some about this previously. But a new article from a couple days ago, when did election integrity become such a contentious issue in the U.S.?

This article starts with here on Zero Hedge. Yeah. 24 states, that's about half of them. That's quite the divide right there. Future Dan, what's your thoughts on how this has been progressing? The last week, a couple weeks, when we first talked about it and where do you think it's going to head? I'm pretty sure it'll be the hardest election ever to commit election fraud

because the full weight and power and authority of, federal police forces at least, with military backing them up if, you know, civil unrest came about near the election. But for now, just the, you know, basically the FBI and the other federal law enforcement, ICE contributing to voter rolls, never been an opportunity for a cleaner election in our lifetime. That's a good sign. Will they do anything with it is a question. the polymark would 24 states be suing if they didn't no that's good in itself

no matter the result of the election for this to happen I guess but I mean more like even with the fair and clean elections publicans might be getting a whooping based off what polymark is saying but maybe not maybe if the fair elections would actually tilt the favor so much

I don't know what do you think there I guess we'll find out a couple of months. No, this has got to be one of the hardest elections to call ever because of this change. Right. Good luck with that. It's tough enough to use old information and predict the future. But then now they change how things the rules are things everything.

Good luck. Yeah, the Dinesh D'Souza, you know, 2,000 mules. Watch the movie. They're not going to be able to do that, right? And even when they did do that, they barely won in just right amounts in the, you know, the districts that they had to, right? You know, there's the potential with that, especially with the, you know, federally seizing control of how states mail out ballots, long overdue. Well, on polymarket, Republican sweep is at 11% chance. Democrats sweep 51%

And then the split house takes up the other one third or thereabouts I'm Republican Senate Democrat House So that's what you can make money If you think it's gonna be different than that We don't really do that although we we had meant to But we never did Well, Polymark is not legal in the U.S. yet All the Democrat states

sued to stop it because they want to have their push polls Their fake polls And I was listening to Bloomberg Radio before this show Democrat strategist talking about ex-Trump percentage, Republican strategist comes back and says these polls are 20% off regularly now. Right.

They can't do what they really kind of perfected during the Clinton years and then into the Obama years is shaping a public opinion with polls that people hear. Right. That's a good development. That's, you know,

and that's why polymarkets pursued. You can't use it U.S. yet. But they certainly can't censor us from seeing what people who circumvent that or who are abroad, you know, where they're putting them money. 100%. Free market will show the truth. Doesn't mean it's always going to be true. I can always turn around the last second one way or the other, but I love the free market because it finds information. It can help you find the truth if it's a truly free market. That's a whole other thing, though. But yeah, that said, future day.

We're at the 45 minute mark. We got at least another 15 minutes in us. Maybe even, maybe we could even go near the 90 minute mark. Got a lot of articles to hit on where you want to go next if you got a preference. Yes, fit through the remains. I think we talked about Russia, talked about elections, talked about diesel price. I think we hit the big ones from our point of view. That's our point of view.

the audience, you know, when we get down to the onesies and one-offs and, you know, sort of abstract, unrelated to anything else kind of indicators, to a lot of people, that might be the most important thing that they're worried about. That's that regional aspect as well as, you know, what matters to you. Certain things could matter more or another. Let's run right into this then if we're going to pick up some of the miscellaneous, but I want to start with probably one of the more important miscellaneous, and that's the Act Blue official.

Pleased the fifth alleged foreign donations on America greatness. Dot AM greatness.com. Congressional testimony Tuesday as House Republicans investigate allegations of fraud foreign political donations. Plead the fifth. Kimberly Peeler Allen, part of the board of directors of Act Blue. Hey, just because you plead. the fit doesn't mean you're guilty, even though back in the day, the Democrats would say that

exact thing. But I guess my point is, hey, if they don't put up a defense and the evidence is great, if they don't even defend themselves and say anything, the evidence is great. May justice be done. I want it done the proper way, though. Future Dan, why do you think this, you know, is dangerous or maybe not dangerous? Maybe it's great news. what's going on with everyone pleading the fifth the system was designed that way i guess uh go for it uh i really care about the democrats working at act blue it's the uh chinese intelligence services that in all likelihood flooded both of obama's campaigns with you know tens of millions of dollars of microscopic donations the question i got today is um to what degree is the

National Security Agency NSA under civilian political control right now. Does it have pockets of deep state that are actively thwarting the detection of those types of foreign cash injections that corrupt our elections? Because technologically, it's available. It can be seen, right? It takes people that are loyal to the Constitution and the laws that, prohibit that behavior to detect it. And it's going to be signals intelligence out of the NSA. Monitoring bank wires.

Well, I'm hoping they, you know, the white hats, as they say, are folks on the inside can either leak this stuff or at least preserve it for future prosecution and evidence. No, no. We need leaders that are actively running operations to see it and report it to the FBI. and let the FBI go directly to where it's happening. It just stopped a cold in real time. White hats helping expose something on a conspiracy site 10 years later. Exclusive of Alex Jones whistleblower,

eight years after something terrible happened. I don't care. I don't care anymore. I want to stop now. I mean, I like that attitude, I suppose. We ain't seen anybody prosecuted right now, though, so. Can't get too greedy. We're not seeing anybody prosecuted going to jail.

Like, I don't know. Maybe eventually, but at this point, I just want at least the record to show all this. So the future AI will have to be like, well, the proof is there. You want the Democrats to get punished for accepting the forward bribes, thus scaring that ideology from doing it again. The absolute.

the first opportunity they have when they control the White House, that's, yeah, that's a great ideal, but I'm more about, you know, I don't want to see trials and convictions. I want to know later about

espionage swaps where Chinese spies that were captured and held and returned for, you know, are ops in their country, which are obviously ongoing. You know, that's what I want to hear about later, because I want that to be classified now.

I just want the Democrats to come to find out that, you know, a few days after, you know, basically losing a major election again, that they're all pointing fingers at each other because they didn't have any money and none of them can explain why this year they didn't have any money. It's because fucking China couldn't give it to them. That'd be nice, but Polly Market's saying Democrats sweep and then it's game over for Trump, but I hope Pollymarkets wrong. I ain't put my money against him.

What's sweep me in that context anyways? There's not going to be a sweep in either house. There's no parties can win every single, you know, steep. That doesn't make sense. No, not that kind of sweep. Sweep what? Majority on both.

Well, okay. Take the majority. The verb sweep, you know, implies you win an entire set of, you know, something. What? Sweep of seats that are in contention by, his definition, right? Yeah, I mean, you're more precise on the language for sure,

but I would say they, what the Polly market is saying, there's a coin flip chance of Democrats, take the House of Senate, Trump's a lame duck, and that's bad. But, hey, I guess we'll find out. I've said before,

I'm not sure that's bad. I think letting that party have power for two years is a perfectly safe way because they, you know, they won't have a big enough majority to enact anything, right? So, you know, Trump can veto anything they pass. So, you know, it'll be stalemate. System was sort of designed like that. But, you know, let's watch them rule for two years.

Let's see what kind of initiatives that party has with its DSA in the House. I mean, I might be the best case scenario for Trump's party for retaining the White House four more years. I get where you're going with that, but they don't actually have to do anything. They just have to stop Trump and talk about how they're stopping Trump, and that I'll get half the country vote for them, unfortunately. I don't know. I think I'm in power for two years doing that stuff would now they get blamed, right? Now they're the complete out party, right?

And every time one party has all, you know, all three parts of the popularly elected constitutional structure, or House, Senate, and presidency, they don't hold it for long because there's independents that just blame the powers that be, vote against the incumbents. Just throw the bums out, kind of, you know, mindlessly,

throw the bums out. Yeah, but there's not going to be a free election after this one if the Democrats would is the problem. We got one reprieve off of this, and if they squander it here, then good luck. You never get it back. Was 2020 free?

No. No. I mean, that was, That's for sure. And it wasn't squattering it up front, but squandering it here. The unaccountable micro donations that went into Obama's campaign in 2008, was that, was that one free? So look, if you had a 15% advantage, let's say 15% of the was fraud, 35% Democrat, 65% Republican. but it got put about 50-50 because of fraud.

But now we're actually leveling it and it's even Stephen or maybe let's say not even Stephen but close. But you still lose. That means you lost 15% of the voters just in the last four years, six years, eight years. So once the fraud gets put back in place in a few years, which it will, this is my whole premise. The fraud has come back and has come back five times as much in the next decade. So if we don't stop it now, he ain't ever taking the fraud out ever again. USAID will be five times bigger by the year 2050. I'm not as certain to you about any of that.

But that's an opinion. I respect your opinion. I don't share that the inevitability of some of these things you're talking about because when there's corruption, it rot from a certain dimension in people. where it doesn't matter what they used to say. It didn't matter what they didn't used to care about. It gets a certain point. It's undeniably recognizable.

And there's always, you know, besides, they're not going to cancel elections. That would be war. The outright war. Outright kinetic, physical civil war. That's not happening. No, not literally canceling them, but just bringing back that 10 or 15% edge through new types of fraud and foreign influence and domestic influence, like version 2.0.

I don't want that for sure. So definitely want to expose it ahead of time. Pretty much we got them on their heels. Like if we go back to the UFC, like, you know, the political fight this time instead of Iran, got them on their heels, put them down, really. But the fight ain't over. And if they get back up, I don't know.

They're going to be pretty pissed. So anyway, I don't know. I'd rather take them out and finish the fight right now instead of let it come back for the next round, I guess. Yeah, I'm not sure it ever finishes. There's always going to be true. You know, but, you know, it's a, it's a dichotomy in our democracy, UK, Australia. You know, we don't have a parliamentarian system with fractured, multi-party politics.

You're going to always come down to two sides, right? It's just keeping the most dangerous socialist one out of power is pretty much all I hope to do the rest of my life. There you go. All right. Last analogy on this aspect. If you think of the spectrum from left to right on a line, I agree. We need, you know, the two-party system is what it is, has benefits and costs, but generally it's one of the best. But what we need to do is divide that line into thirds.

And the furthest left third probably needs to be thrown out. In fact, maybe a little bit of the very extreme right needs to be thrown out as well. So I'd like some of the centrists to come together. then we can split back into two. But yeah, the DSA people, they are not needed. We don't need them to be part of the two party. They are way too far. They are very dangerous.

Of course, I don't want to prosecute them and put the IRS against them like they would do to me. That's the difference. They can become the Democrat Party within four to six years. That could be mainstream Democrat. That's what's going to happen. unless we like totally put them to exile politically and reform the two parties. Maybe one dies and another one forms, blah, blah, blah. But I don't know.

That's what I'm worried about is the DSA in eight years, 12 years, 16 years, especially there's a total economic collapse, 1929 or worse, Great Depression, 25% plus unemployment and or 10% plus inflation annualized for multiple years. Yeah, there you go. They'd have to have super majorities. If you ever got to the point where they had super majorities, they could start amending the Constitution, they could start overriding vetoes of a Republican president

that was put in to stop them, right? If they ever got to the two-thirds in both houses, but we haven't seen one party be able to break, you know, plus 2% in several elections. Right. that is a saving grace on both sides especially other Democrat but still I'm not a fan of the

Republicans as I would say alright we talked to a lot of politics today but that's fine there are a lot of elections stolen type articles here where else you want to go I know there's some miscellaneous but were there any that really you got to get before an end of the night

yeah I'm looking at the wildfire news and I I got to remember the summer of 2020 seemed like worse than this summer. You just don't hear about the arson. So I guess, you know, and that was all during the, you know, the Minnesota riots, right? So true. This summer's been a lot safer in many degrees, you know, in many ways.

Super hot summer worldwide, right? And those far south-west are Tinder boxes. so it's not surprised we're getting them, but you just don't hear about, you know, crazy anapah going into California forest and setting stuff on fire, you know, to protest Trump. So still a lot of much better things happening this year

than in recent years. Some of it. All right. So what we're showing here on screen right now is the year, the number of fires, and the number of acres. This is direct from government website, National Interagency Fire Center.

And looking at it, my first, my first thought is I'd like to see struck, you know, as a piece of data that's not here, number of structures destroyed and or property value destroyed, which can take a while to calculate. But my point is, just because there's many more acres burned, it does not mean it was catastrophic destruction. On the other hand, just because a small, quote unquote, small amount of acreage was burned, doesn't mean it wasn't extremely costly. You know what? I don't absolutely know if this is true.

But when did Maui and the Palisades fire happened? Was that in 2023 or maybe that was 24? But that's what I was talking about is the cost, the cost to civilization, the cost to everything. Now, I don't want a bunch of forest fires burning down beautiful trees and squirrels, but that's what happens in nature. The forest clear themselves, especially if you don't manage it correctly, it actually does way more damage. So there's my soapbox there.

I will say, though, the nominal numbers, it is 8 million, 8.2 million acres in 2026 is the largest single number of the last 10 years. And, you know, that's just straight facts based off this. haven't sourced every piece of data, but it looks realistic. Yeah, it's just a lot safer when there isn't crazy political arson, you know, at the root cause of it. I wanted to ask you about something that's not on the heat map dashboard. Talked about it in the past. You know, AI CapEx converting into productivity games.

What's your, what's your feeling about that in September of 2026? I guess it really depends what tasks you're doing. So just so happens that the tasks I do, my professional career are very AI friendly, but I'm hopeful not easily replaceable for me. More like I operate the machinery, not that I get replaced by the machinery is more like what I look at it. But I'm very, you know,

I'm an information worker or whatever, deal with all types of documentation. and that takes hours to read, but an AI can read in a millisecond. So I'm on that end of the spectrum. Obviously, nurses or plumbers, people that operate in the real world, not me who operate in the kind of the matrix of corporate world

for probably the way to say it. It may not affect them as much. They can still get good benefits out of it, though. Scheduling improvements, you know, think about one thing. always think about is all the map apps that people have. People get lost less

often. They conserve fuel because you're not taking a wrong turn to put you off 30 miles or blah, blah, blah. So I think everyone can benefit some from AI a lot more than others. The main question is is corporate America going to

share that with the world or only just keep it with their shareholders? Of course, they're going to keep with the shareholders. That's their fiduciary duty. So does that mean for every dollar of productivity? They cut a dollar of labor. So there's a lot of people get laid off.

Or maybe they'll just do a better work and keep the same labor force and just make things much better. I would like that. I don't know. Let's move back upstream, though, earlier than that. Because right now we're in the, you know, massive investment all summer, massive investment. You know, accused to be in circular investment, all kinds of numbers. and all kinds of novel derivative investment schemes that are considered risky. The AI bubble, right?

Everybody's fearing an AI bubble. But it is a massive, like never foreseen U.S. investment in just the electrical grid, right, to support data centers, right? So the capital expenditure, the investment, when is it going to and how, I think you talk more about how. you fear it's going to strike the economy? We can get into that again. I'd like to. But my bigger question is, on the assumption that there's going to be productivity gains,

when would you expect all that to land? It should definitely start beating in the numbers by now. Because a lot of Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 type companies, which is the majority of profit. But the infrastructure has been built. It's just the investment, right? It's just starting. The buildings haven't been built, right?

Power grids haven't been built up. And wherever Chinese propaganda can convince people to be anti-Data Center, they're trying. My God, they're trying. One of the most successful Chinese info ops right now is to try to back us away from that capital expenditure, because they can't do it. They can't match that. They don't have the chips. They don't have the freedom.

They don't have the real estate. They can't do that, right? The only choice they got is to try, you know, they can't stop the CAPEX. What they can do is, you know, try, like any good Democrat, try to, you know, block your permit, the bill, right? Which won't work. Wait to make communities that can, you know, just say, yeah, we'll take that infrastructure, build it here. We'll take the jobs. So it's not going to not happen, but that hasn't landed yet.

That's going to take, you know, 12 to 18. months for the buildings to get built and the frontier models where will they be 12 to 18 months from now when that infrastructure is running if there's enough electricity right and of course what's been talking about the mini dukes right so this AI infrastructure revolution capex i'm asking you like when how far to the future before what we're seeing now pales in comparison to what is available okay so more of like the contracts that are built out the next five years and planned rather than what's actually been built because a whole bunch has been built in the last five years and it better

be paying dividends already, which probably is. And the fact, our GDP is so pathetic right now just shows how many other things are headwinds because we should be growing 10% per year every year at this point. And we probably should be growing at 25% every year. I think it's cutting out the inefficiencies right now. I think it's cutting out massively inefficient systems right now. Helping people do that. And that might not show up in the growth numbers,

but I can't understand how it won't eventually. And about the personal example of, are you an information professional, does it benefit what you do, asking questions like that versus nurses versus the guys that build the data centers themselves with tools and hand on their feet all day? The people that shower after work, not before work, right?

So if you're the before work shower because you're not getting dirty and sweaty at work, all I would say is you don't have to worry about AI taking your job. You have to worry about someone who knows how to use AI better than you taking your job. There you go. For sure. That's how I look at it too. You're like, okay, if only 10% of my field will survive in the next 25 years, I'm going to be that 10%. You know, unless Bitcoin hits six or seven figures, then I can put my job.

But that ain't happen anytime soon. Yeah, but you're just naturally pessimistically accounting for, you know, just a reduction without the hiring. You're not crediting the growth that comes, all right? You know, the number of insurance contracts, the number of businesses that need insurance. contracts that you handle in your day job, right? Why can't that explode with the productivity gains? All those businesses still need insurance. Why not triple it?

Think about the power of this technology. Then go back and look at the star of the internet and what that eventually meant. And then go back far enough and look at GDP after electricity and telephone were invented. This stuff is way more. are impactful than just the advent of the internet and the telephone in my opinion yes but there's also a pretty stark contrast with actual physical goods so we're not going to hit some utopia if we got all-time diesel prices i just don't think we'll grow out of it because of the data centers by themselves but i get where you're coming with uh i think trump's looking at that and basically has said that

he thinks we can afford the rise of fuel prices temporarily. It's worth paying for it. Basically, how you and I are paying for the Iraq war to end that regime. I'm sorry, Iran. That's, I mean, well,

that's for sure. I called the Iran tax, I suppose. So, all right, here's a threat or a problem. Not saying it's going to happen, but when you have such kind of top-down investment,

and yeah, you can say all these. Private companies are private, but they're not. This is all national security at the end of the day, not private companies. So the Google's, Facebooks, all of them, and of course all the other data center organizations, what if they are making a very malinvestment right now and they're building ghost cities that will never be used and will be in five years will be totally out of date and we wasted all this capital on shit that's not even useful in five years. years. This is me playing devil's advocate, but with the more centrally

planned you get, whether it's at the corporate level or government or both, really what this is, I don't know, malinvestment and, you know, building some ghost cities of data centers that are good, but it could have been way better if we followed a different technology that would have became about organically without having to centralize, socialize, authoritarian down the line. That's how I look at it. Yeah, I guess, leave that to the scientists and engineers that know the direction of the infrastructure

and, you know, how they build these buildings. It makes sense that the building itself should be, you know, able to handle whatever tech is anticipated for the next three decades, right, to be, you know, a solid investment. Maybe they're building entirely, you know, disposable buildings that need to be torn down in five years. I mean, I don't know if that's economic, but I do think that we got the greatest, freest market economy working on that problem right now. Certainly an advantage we have over China because China would have way, way, way bigger problems

in that regard. I would hope so, at least. If not, then we've fallen way worse than I expected. And fossil fuels cost a lot more to them than they will for us. The longer this goes on with Iran, the more restructuring of the entire, you know, oil trade to the west.

Massive shift. All the pipelines are going to go west in southwest Asia, right? And the U.S. and Canada and Venezuela are going to be the, you know, that's where it's going to be. And it's pretty clear that the Trump administration, without saying they're going to do it,

it's going to knock Venezuela out of OPEC. They'd be wise to let the Venezuelan people elect a new government before that happens. But that country would be wise to do it anyways. And with private investment going into those oil fields, some of those leases, 100 years, you know, Iran and Russia, they're never going to have that dominance in the oil market that they once had, I think. No. So will they be able to convert over to their own nuclear and or other electrified systems? Probably not in a quick way because there's just so much, so much energy in fossil fuels that try to convert away,

whether you're using nuclear or, of course, solar or wind, which we've proved over the last 10 plus years. There's no way solar and wind we're going to overcome oil, gas, and coal by any means. But anyway, yeah. I think climate socialism is nearly dead. You don't even hear anybody talk seriously about it, not. not in this country maybe there's enough zombies left in Europe but

I think before long you're going to see the North Sea oil fields between Norway and Britain that those could easily open up again, right? Longer the war in Ukraine and Iran goes, the more likely it is. I was actually

I'm not able to find it on short notice but I was going through some potential Supreme Court cases that could come up in the next few months. I was using some AI to analyze that. And one of them was pretty much penalties, climate penalties. Can local state, county jurisdictions impose carbon taxes or other types of climate related stuff? So that was actually expected to get to the Supreme Court. So I might have to go do some more homework and bring that back later. So otherwise, though, I mean, it's definitely

hasn't gotten through and I sure as heck hope it won't here in the U.S. But yeah, in other countries, especially in the EU, they're shooting themselves in the foot all the time with carbon taxes and surcharges, blah, blah, blah. How do you feel about the intervention, the Treasury Secretary in Nashville, the G20 summit? You catch any of that action? What's your feeling about the elite financial political leaders and what they're doing? like the intervention in the yen or the meeting at the G20 and the whole entire environment. Yeah. Because it's not really, well, they're obviously dealing with government bond rates surging.

We know that. We talked about that. What about, you know, 19 out of 20 G20 members recognize that China's trade imbalances are unsustainable, right? that's that that that I gotta give some credit there I guess was that never said before

I guess like I like that and the one member that blocked it was China and they didn't they didn't send their treasury minister equivalent to our treasury secretary

so they sent a lesser official and so this actually results in any action that'd be great if they're just like publicly censuring them from the G20 or whatever being like, you're bad. We don't like your deficit.

You're really bad and naughty China. I ain't going to do jack. No, it matters. Diplomacy matters. It's soft power matters. It's when people start to think it matters more than it does that we get in trouble, but it's not nothing. Okay.

Maybe it's more of a lagging indicator than a leading in a way, too. And that would be a good sign, actually. Well, basically the Cold War with China. They're influenced throughout Africa, Latin America. Latin America is getting heavily reversed right now, right? By us. You know, they're waning. When Obama and Biden are in the presidency, it just seems to wax, right?

So, again, who's going to be the suzer into who and whose elections are corrupted by who? I think I've said it pretty clearly, right? That's the China game plan. Their game plan is not working right now. And I don't think Iran's game plan is working right now. Listen to Scott Bassan talked about strikes batting down some reporter who's trying to hype the failures of the U.S. against Iran. And Scott said that they were just trying to do some erector set radar. And we basically watched them build it.

And once they got up and turned on a signal, then we demolished it, right? Like Monty Python, you know, cutting all the limbs off of the Black Knight. It's like that, right? And Basile was pretty funny about it. Right, when you turn on the signal, that's the bat signal for it. Yeah. I had another good thought. But it's, guess what?

I'm on my 71st hour of a fast. didn't even notice it, did you? But I am running low on steam. I won't lie. Is that right? Is it the mental energy that a proper Patriot Power Hour episode requires of you can actually in 60 plus minutes actually wear the battery down in live time? I had quite a lot of work this week that I performed quite well during this fest as well. It was more like I had a really specific point I wanted to made it and it just disappeared from my mind. which could have happened anytime, really, but I blame it the fast.

You know what happens in your brain when that happens? I'll tell you. So you were listening to me talking, you had a thought, and then when I finished it was time for you to use that thought, you went to recall it, right? And the chemicals in your synapses of your neurons and your brain surged to try to make that connection. but the surge and they missed. And usually what happens is if it was a sound thing that you were trying to recall,

it was like, what was really there, then you got to wait for those chemicals to dissipate. You ever get that feeling like I can't remember something in a 10 seconds later? Oh, yeah, that's why I remember I was talking about, right? Right, yeah. That period is those chemicals kind of washing away because you flooded the zone briefly and he went and reached for something, but you missed. on your reach. But afterwards, sometimes that comes right to you.

So to have a live test tonight on Patriot Power, now that I've sort of bullbustered there for a minute telling you that biochemistry, do you remember what you were thinking about? Yes, I do. There we go. There we go. It was just an extra point about the soft diplomacy is like, well, is that going to stop anybody from actually making purchases from China, especially when inflation's up so much. People aren't going to voluntarily buy made in America or even made in Taiwan if it's a little

bit more expensive than China. At this rate, it seems so. Very detailed point, but it was in there. Like you said, in that biochemistry, I remember you saying that before. It makes sense. That really make sense why you're like, I should have said that or I should have remembered or I should, you know, in an argument, maybe it's different logic and chemistry. But, you know, 20 minutes after an argument, you're like, I should have said that. I think maybe that's different.

Yeah, it might be thinking of what you wish you said 20 minutes later, but. Yeah. Happens a lot. I wouldn't want to be trying to have a 19 other G20 members. And Russia made a surprise visit, by the way. Europeans weren't told ahead. They were much, you know, none too pleased about that, but Scott Bassant had him show up in North Carolina unannounced,

but, you know, a member of the G20, and we're hosting it, and we're the president of it, so we've got the power to do it. So he took advantage of that power to try to shake things up internationally. And he also talked about that CAPEX and that, you know, at some point that's going to land in the economy for productivity games. which, you know, I think all American patriots should be hoping that happens. Oh, it's the only hope, really, at this point.

There's no other way you're going to grow, grow out of it, as they say, or even soft landing unless you get massive productivity gains and real gains, like you said, that actually work through the economy and have that multiplier effect of real investment, new jobs, new businesses, that engine starts going, kind of almost that perpetual motion. That's great. That's, I mean, ever since humans came out of the primordial swap or whatever you want to say, like we've been building and building upon what our ancestors did,

and it continues to build at an exponential rate, essentially, which is great. But now we're at the point where if we don't grow at that exponential rate, especially with all the fraud that's been going on, that's a problem. But that's all right. Humans usually, you know, step up big time in these. situations, but we also didn't have nuclear weapons this whole time, so it's a little dangerous. Yeah, that sums it up. Yeah, and bio-weapons, too.
