[00:00:12] You are now listening to The Patriot Power Hour

[00:01:00] 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 FutureDanger.com Patriot Power Hour, we're back in your life once more June 3rd, 2025, episode 307

[00:01:29] Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, here with Future Dan Yeah, what kind of situational awareness can we impart to the audience tonight, Ben? Well, first and foremost, the attacks in Russia have just gone a whole new level Intrepid Commander just released a 30-40 minute episode about it just an hour or two ago I listened to it

[00:01:57] And for anyone who hasn't caught the news Which is, I don't think anyone I'm pretty sure everyone's seen it Strategic bombers Far, far, far, far from Ukrainian territory Were hit and destroyed A third or more of the strategic nuclear bombers for Russia Equivalent to the B-52s So, the other news tonight isn't as, you know, severe

[00:02:26] Or in our face But I think this is, and I gotta ask you Right up front, what's your thoughts here? And why isn't this rating a little bit higher on the news blitz? Yeah, just my connection on this show is not optimal So, I missed the last 10 seconds But I know that you want to talk about Russia I want to talk about that drone swarm The 41 warplanes that were hit

[00:02:55] Equivalent to our B-52s One of the legs of the nuclear triad Taken out This is huge escalation And it's, of course, on the news blitz On the Future Danger dashboard Which I'll share here in a second But it's only topical news It seems more severe than that What's your take on it? And what's the latest with that attack I guess about 48 hours ago In Russia Yeah, so

[00:03:23] The bombers, the submarines The missiles, right? It's the triad Russia's got the triad We've had the triad We've had the triad Pointing at the Russians For a long, long time You know, getting close to 75 years Right? And Now Ukraine has gone And struck some of those assets And it makes you wonder Is the triad All that it was cracked up to be? Or is, you know

[00:04:03] Seems like we lost Future Dan I almost wonder if it's because I tried to share the screen I'm going to stop sharing the screen See if that'll fix it Future Dan, come in Ground control to Future Dan I had a feeling if I tried to even Share the screen tonight It might break everything It seems to have We'll try to get Future Dan Back in He is mobile tonight

[00:04:33] Maybe that's part Of it But Regardless And I won't share the screen But I could talk through the news blitz As always Besides the great majority of our Listeners And viewers Well, they're listeners Through the radio show Through the podcast Ukraine launches massive drone swarm Attack on Russian nuke bombers Operation Web They're calling it Hidden in cargo containers So Getting to James Walton's

[00:05:02] Broadcast earlier today He's talking about the Threat of These sorts of attacks On the homeland Here in America Islamic extremist Or otherwise Russian Chinese Iranian Just A group that hates us Even Not affiliated with any Religion or nation Right? Something out of a Mission Impossible Or James Bond movie

[00:05:31] Here we go Future Dan might be back You there, sir? I'm here I think I tried to share the screen And it totally Wiped You clean But we're gonna keep Cranking through Essentially I'm Saying that Intrepid Commander James Walton Just today Posted What I thought was a really good podcast 30-40 minutes Talking about Well this is a turning point A whole chapter in warfare Of Drones

[00:06:00] Being used In this manner And just really the evolution In the last three years or so Of drone warfare What's your take on The attack itself? And My question to you is This looks like SHTF level almost But you didn't grade it as such Any explanations why? Well The indicator is War with Russia starts Right? This attack isn't Us being in war with Russia

[00:06:29] It could lead there Which is why it's You know Green topical news But it's not It's not An act That's gonna cause a war And It's because We have mutually assured Destruction And Hitting these bombers You know Back in the day Would have been a problem It's You know Bombers Were part of the nuclear triad But Russia's got hypersonic missiles now So I'm not sure It's the same calculation

[00:06:59] I was thinking of that myself I'm a numbers guy And I was like Well You think triad You're like Well that's one third Of their You know One third of their triad Of these strategic bombers Almost half of them Were destroyed Huge huge threat But I'm like Actually The submarine Launched Are truly the most Hardened And You know Foolproof For mutually assured Destruction You can get maybe A couple of those Boomer class You know

[00:07:29] Big Nuclear Boats But Not all of them Whereas You know Land base And definitely These Air base Part of the triad Seems more vulnerable Now maybe there's Some other Space base That both sides Might have They're supposed to be Treaties against Nuclear weapons In space Who knows But I also thought That If there's one part Of it To be Taken out That would Hurt Russia The least It would be These These bombers But it's still

[00:07:59] Worse than a slap In the face And war with Russia Starts I mean If NATO goes to war With them And we do So What if a NATO member Not even the US But a NATO member Clandestinely Helped with this Because apparently Trump didn't know About this Is all happening Before the peace talks Any thoughts on that And what if Some people are doing Behind You know Going behind Trump's back Macron and those idiots Who knows What's going on Over there in Europe All right Let's back up

[00:08:28] A little bit Take that Piece by piece So it's a triad But it's not Like an economic Financial calculus It's The triad Is three Major means Of delivering Nuclear weapons It doesn't mean That they're Equal in size It doesn't mean That They're Of equal importance But there's All three Are a means To do it And all You know A fourth way Would be Suitcase Right Jump in With a nuke And we

[00:08:58] We rehearsed That stuff During the cold war In fact But it's not Viable Right So not In a massive way So bombers Subs Silos That's the three You know Systems And each one Has their Countermeasures And With hypersonics It's questionable Whether You know They can be Stopped Right They're so fast And Russia And Russia Has that So Hitting

[00:09:28] Those bombers Works more To me Like Ukraine Attacking Military assets Which have Obviously been Used to bomb Ukraine Now Europeans European and Western Intelligence Agencies Other NATO Members Doing this Doesn't I don't think It changes Anything We've hit A threshold Of violence In Ukraine That I'm not sure Taking it Into the Interior Of Russia It necessarily Changes much We shot Down

[00:09:58] Or helped Shoot down These kind Of aircraft Already Anyways I mean It's a Complete You know Mid to high Intensity Conventional War Right On the Border Of Russia Or You know Border Of Europe Anyways And I don't I don't Know about What Trump Knew Or didn't Know Or what Somebody Did But France And England And Germany And Others In Europe They're Sovereign Nations Too Right

[00:10:28] And The article Five Treaty Of But That You know Think about That Perspective That's Being Attacked It's Not necessarily Doing the Attacking Right And I don't Think Russia Is Going to Do Anything About This Against Us They're Not Going to Attack A NATO Member In Response For This So I'm Not I'm Not Sure I'm As

[00:10:58] Concerned About This I'm Kind Of Fascinated About How They Got It Done But I Don't Think It Destabilizes You know The Global Balance Of Power So Let's Say Russia Doesn't Retaliate In a Crazy Way Have They Before Well Eventually They Have To Right Or Are They Just

[00:11:56] Far You Know A Massive Like Air Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Effort Right On The Border Has Made Every Russian All The Way Through That Country Completely Visible Little Red Dots On Your Video Game Minimap Right I Mean We We're Dominant In So Many Domains That Russia Is Not What Could They Do

[00:12:28] Guess Nothing In End The Game And Throw The Table Over Which I Sure Hope They Don't Do So It Seems Like They're Pretty Screwed At This Rate But When We're Talking About Go Ahead Why Would Ukraine Do Doing

[00:13:14] It It's Exist It's Existence The Russian State Every Every State In You Know In The World And And The United States Our Government Right When You're Talking Nuclear Weapons You're Down At The Level Of The State Preserves Itself Beyond Any One Member Of The State President Of United States President Of Russia Obviously The Most Powerful Single People In Those States And Have The

[00:13:56] Kick Over The Table And Just Risk It's It's It's Annihilation It Doesn't Make Sense Hey If That's Even A 1% Chance Risk That's Like Way Way Way Too High So I Feel

[00:14:26] Like Polymarket If You Say No That A Nuclear Weapon Will Not Be Detonated But That Includes Tests By The Way So Be Sure You're Careful What You Bet On Poly Market Read The The Lines Because Even A North Korean Nuclear Test Underground Would Cash It

[00:14:56] Us Tonight Definitely Use That What's Happened Fire Will Forge So Future Dead How About This News Blitz Want me To Run Through It Real Quick Yeah Yeah Go For It All Right Let's Do It I'm Not Gonna Share The Screen Don't Want To Risk The Connection Tonight We'll Get That Squared Away For Next Week But Tonight June 3rd 2025 Starting Again With Ukraine Ukraine Launches Massive Drones Swarm Attack On Russian Nuke Bombers 41

[00:15:26] Warplanes Destroyed Using Covert Drones Hidden In Cargo Containers Near Russian Air Bases Anyone Miss Intrepid Commanders Podcast Earlier Today Go Check That Out About How Terrorists Might Be A Similar Attack Here On The Homeland Economically Relatively Quiet In The Markets Bitcoins 105 6 Thousand Gold Nudged Up In

[00:16:06] Real Estate Market Starting To See Some Symbols Or Signals Even About Some Decay I'm Going To Call It Decay In The Market Not Collapse Not Destruction But Decay Pending Home Sales Plunge Most In 30 Months Back Near Record Lows And This One's Key Home Sellers Now Outnumber buyers By

[00:16:36] A Lot More Sellers Than Buyers There's Also Numbers Supporting That Compared To Just This Time Last Year And Again This Is The Hot Real Estate Season May June Right Compared To Just One Year Ago It's Taking I Think It was Like 15 20% Longer To Sell A Home More Homes Were Staying On Market For Over Two Months As A Percent

[00:17:05] And Prices Prices Are Pretty Regional Some Are Still Up A Few Percent Year Over Year Some Are Down 5 10 Depending Where You Live Nothing Absolutely Cut Out At The Knees But I'm Seeing Some Decay In The Market But Economically Otherwise Though Kind Of Quiet It Is June Usually Quiet This

[00:17:36] We Have 70 Dead As Highest Pre Monsoon Rains And 125 Years Hit India There's A New COVID Variant NB 1.8 Point 1 Starting To Spread Worldwide Geomagnetic Stormwatch Issued A G4 And There Is Some Activity At Mount Etna Italy Pyroclastic

[00:18:06] Flow Strong Strombolian Eruption Yes That Is Exactly It's Strombolian Stromboli Same Thing That's Truly What It Is Pyroclastic Flow At Mount Etna Italy Hey We're Not In Rational Room Anymore I Want A Stromboli Future Dan What Can I Severe Tonight I Think We're All Green On

[00:18:36] On The News Headlines So It's A Relatively Safe Night I Still Get Conservative Russia I Get A lot Of Your Points Though But Nothing Is Deescalated I Was Hopeful In The Last Few Months That

[00:19:06] But You're Right Otherwise I Don't See Anything Out There That's Really Going On Right Now There's Tons Of Unsolved Problems And Issues That Will Rear Their Ugly Head In The Coming Months And Years That's Why We're On Prepper Broadcasting Network Prep On

[00:21:09] Maybe Another Bag Or Two Even So Good Time To Get That Sponsor Here Future Dan Yeah With Pack Fresh Those Great New Commercial Thank You To Our Sponsors Now Let's Get Back I've Been Part Of Defense Analyses For About 20 Years And About About 20 Years Ago A Little Over 20 Years Ago I

[00:21:39] Was Part Of A Program And Even Back Then It Was The Idea Was Called Missile Missiles In A Box Missiles In A Box This Is Before It Vehicles That Are Themselves Bombs And That's Not Exactly What Was Used In In The Attack In The Interior Of Russia This Past Week But

[00:22:08] This Concept This Isn't New This Is Probably Been Perfected On A Clandestine Level By Our Forces For Well Not Long That's When We Got A Handle On This Now Who Enabled The Ukrainians They Might Have Figured It Out Themselves Talking To People Right

[00:22:38] Getting Ideas From People From Contractors From Governments They Might Have Done It All By Themselves Or They Might Have Been Handed The Hardware I Don't Know I Don't Know If It Matters But This Missile In Box Concept It's Not It's Not Necessarily New And I All I Can Say About Islamic Terror Attacks In The United States Is This After September 11th Why

[00:23:08] Wasn't There More Clandestine Cells Launching Attacks Everywhere Across The Country And You Know They Wouldn't Have Had Missile In The Box But They To Bring That Level Of Technology And Launch It Inside United States Yeah Sure Yeah It Could Happen But So Many More Primitive Ways To Attack Inside The United

[00:23:38] States And They're Not Doing It So What Gives That's A Good Point There Are You Know Occam's Razors There's Simpler Ways To Do As Much Destruction More Than Likely I Think What Gives Or The Question A Potential Answer To The Question Is Biden Administration Borders Wide Open The Last Few Years Maybe Not The Same From 2001 To At Least 2012 Or I Don't Know Maybe Obama Early On

[00:24:07] He Let It Open Up A Bit But Biden Was Way More Of Open Borders Than Obama So That Would Be A Potential Reason That Would You Know Essentially Say That There's Complicency And Maybe Even Part Of Biden Administration Deep State Allowing This In Or Even Facilitating It Yeah And They Do It But Sounds Reasonable Compared To Some Of The Stuff I've Seen These Days

[00:24:37] And They Be Doing It In The Face Of State Police Forces Local Police Forces DHS Department Of Defense Uh Obviously Aware That This Is A Major Threat And Could Be It Be All Classified Missiles In A Box But If There Was You Know Just Just The Apparatus That State Apparatus To Prevent This Kind Of Attack It It's Not Small Right The Budgets Of These Organizations And This

[00:25:07] This Idea That You Know Tens Of Thousands Of People Could Have Worked Area 51 And Known About A UFO And Not Said Anything No There's Not Tens Of Thousands Of People Working To Prevent Weapons Of Including

[00:25:36] A Podcast Like The Patriot Power Hour I Don't Think It Would Be Easy To Bring A Missile In The Box Into The United States And I Don't Think The Actors That We Fear The Most Have The Wherewithal To Do It This Is A Pretty Advanced Weapon This Is

[00:26:06] Given The Plans On How To Do This There You Go Anything Else You Want To Hit On For War On Russia You Want To I Know You Can't See It Though If You Want To Take A Tour Of The Archive Maybe Just Glance Where The Future Danger Archive War With Russia Might Date Back To 2017 Ben And There's A Lot Of Articles They're All Low Level They're All Grade One Green Topical

[00:26:35] You Know Probably A Good Share Of Them Are Strategic Bombers Flying Near Alaska Airspace Or Something Like That You Know Something Something You Know Very Common Place It Could Be Events That Are As Severe In Your Opinion As This

[00:27:05] Drone Attack Last Week By Ukraine Well Going To The Bottom There Are At Least Three Three Hundred Articles Maybe More I'm Not Joking Either So Several Hundred More Than A Few Hundred I Would Say Articles Going All The Back To January 16 2017 So That Would Be Just Around The Time Of Trump's First Inauguration So

[00:27:35] That Goes Back Wow Eight Plus Years Eight And A Half Years For All Intents And Purposes Again I Can't Even Count More Than 300 But They Are Color Coded So I Don't Even Have To Read It I Can Scroll Very Fast And See That I Can't Data Mine This All Right

[00:28:05] Now But I Would Have To Say You Would Only Need To Look From February 2022 Until Now To Have Your Sample Size If You're Trying To Find What's The Most Extreme Or Yeah Okay I Just Off

[00:28:35] The Cuff Maybe Because It's Recency Bias But Nuclear Strategic Bombers I Know They Can Be Used In Other Ways But That It Seems Like That Seems Like An Escalation To Me And I Huge Humiliation Factor Too

[00:29:05] I Think French Foreign Legion Being Put Into Ukraine Was More Dangerous All Right As Trainers You Know Probably Probably Halfly Since The Ukraine War Started But You Know Some Of That Symbolically Could Be More Dangerous That It Didn't Turn Out To Be And Clint Clandestinely Western Special Operation Forces Have Been Helping

[00:29:35] The Ukrainians Since Day One In Huge Numbers So It's All A Matter Of What Is Publicly A Knowledge Or Not There Now I'm Not Going To Try To Downplay The Striking Of 41 Strategic Bombers For Russia It's It's Hard To Feel As Though It's An Escalation It's Just A Continuation Of A War And Now They're Fighting It Inside Of Russia There's Also A Big Attack On

[00:30:05] A Bridge So Ongoing Attack On Infrastructure But As You Said Ukraine Is Getting The Crap Blown Out Of It Too This Happens In A War Well If Trump

[00:30:42] Didn't Tremendous Experience With Drones Right They Make Them Themselves Now As A Necessity War Will Do That So You Know Case One Is Ukraine Ukrainians Did It Without Telling Anybody Then I'm Not How Do You Blame Trump For That It's Hard To Blame Him That's Just He's Got Tall Tasks In Front Of We Can Also Forget Yeah Just

[00:31:12] I Guess Eight The Bridge From Russia Mainland To Crimea Struck Underwater Russian Or Excuse Me Under Water Drone Ukraine I guess Will Claim Responsibility Ukrainian Security Services Known As SBU Said In A Statement That Agents Planted Mines On Underwater Supports And Detonated Them This Bridge Has Been Hit A

[00:32:10] Couple Russia Invaded Ukraine And Took It Like Of Course It's Going To Get Attacked It Has Been Many Times This Is It Doesn't Move The Needle In My Opinion Yeah Wow It's When NATO Members Overtly Confront Russian Forces Do We Have A New Problem Which Is War With Russia Starting Not

[00:32:41] Future Danger Of Ukraine It Would Have Been Black On Red In Every Possible Indicator For The Past Three Years For Their Future Danger This Is Our Future Danger Right And I Don't See That Calculus Changing Because Of What Ukraine Done Here Yeah Well I Think It's More Likely To Sprawl Into A Regional Ward And Include Other Are Are Now Hopefully Not But It Seems Like It Could Go From Green To

[00:33:11] SHTF Over Real Quick Then No Transition Zone Then So So You know With Human Behavior To Me The Most Simple Way To Look At Anything Negative That's Happening Is That It Just Comes Down To Two Dimensions Of Human Behavior You Country Where I Can Have It On

[00:33:41] It Like That You Know It's Clearly Evil I Said It At The Start But That That Is Not Because Of The Nuclear Deterrence Both Sides Hold It's Not It's Contained But It's The Stupidity Ben It's A Mistake A Series Of Mistakes And There's A Number Of Examples During The Cold War Where Mistakes Were Almost Made That Started Third World War Right You Know Human Behavior Has That

[00:34:11] And Autonomous Systems Made By Humans Are Going To Be At Risk Of That And That That's Why You Know We Can't Help But Talk About It You Know What That Yes That Ukrainian Drone Strike Could Lead To World War Three War With Russia Right Now It's Just Another Tick On The News Radar Over Time It's Just One More Tick That We're Watching Out That You Always Gotta Keep An Eye Out On The Potential For That War But

[00:34:41] Man That Both Security Structures On Both Sides Have Stood In Place With Nuclear Weapons For 70 Plus Years Without Firing At Each Other I It's It's Going To Be Mistake Now Would Be Way More Likely To Cause A Problem Than The Exact Same Mistake In Like 1998 But Maybe Not Well Russia Was Really Weak In 98

[00:35:11] And Russia Is Still Very Weak Compared To Where The Soviet Union Was If Now Or You Think More Hair Triggering 85 Than Now Cause I Think Now It Has To Be At Least Equal Cause There's Real I Don't Taking It On The Chin So Bad No I Don't I Think We Have

[00:35:41] Super Weapons That You Weapon Systems In Space That Can Strike Earth Rail Guns It Could You Know Some Of These Tic Tac UFO Films That The Navy Put Out

[00:36:11] And Has The Whole UFO Community Believing That You Know We Filmed Extra Terrestrial Craft Big Part Of Me Believes That Just The Cover Story Those Are Ours We Control Them And And Everybody In Moscow Knows I Think We Got Overmatch I Think You Got Such An Overmatch It Might Be After Advertising Some Of These Secret Super Weapons That Putin Decided Well I Might As Well Just Invade Ukraine

[00:36:41] Because They Know I Can Never Fire Nuclear Weapons At Them We'll Just We'll Fight It Out Conventually Inside Ukraine It Can't Escalate I Can See That Definitely Losing That At This Point No One One Well Russia's Got The Territories That You Know It You Know Several Eastern Territories The Donbass So If You You Gotta Be Fair About It

[00:37:11] You Know If The War Ended Today They Won They Took Territory Well But It's Not Ending Ukraine Made Sure That There's No Way Russia Will Come To Peace Table For At least Half A Year After What Just Happened I Don't Know I Was Listening To Boy What I I Think I Was Very Young Supposed Military Expert On You Know The Historics

[00:37:40] Historical Things That Are Happening In Ukraine And Trying To Put Them In Perspective And He Was Going On About How Russia's Use Of Air Power Which Is Part Of The Reason Why Ukraine Wanted To Strike Those Bombers Is Because Those Bombers Have Been Punishing Civilian Infrastructure Inside Of Ukraine Just Trying To Wear And Grind Them Down And And This Guy Was Talking About How This Use Of Air Power Hasn't Been Seen Hasn't Been

[00:38:10] Exercised And It Was Really The Ear Power Advocates I'm Talking About The Early Writers And Thinkers In The 1920s Who Envisioned Using Air Power This Way And That And Then And Then This Analyst Went Off The Rails And Started To Say It's Never Been Really Practiced And I'm Just Thinking To Myself That You Know At The End Of The Korean War The Bombing Was Ramped Up To Get The Truce In Place

[00:38:40] And Nixon Bombed The Ever Loving Hell Out Geneva To Negotiate The Truce That Allowed Us To Withdraw Using Air Power To Absolutely Pound Your Enemy As You're In Negotiations That That's Not New Right And For That Matter Striking Your Enemy To

[00:39:09] Bring About Their Moral Collapse I Mean The Fire Bombing At Tokyo Right The Band The Fire Bombing At Dresden This Has Happened Before We've Been Here Before That This Is Both Sighs Ukraine And Russia Putting Out All Stops To Try To Have Leverage At The Negotiation Table And Also

[00:39:39] Save Face At Home This War Could End This Summer This Could You Know A Lot More About This Stuff Than I Do Hey I I'm Just Being A Little Contrarian About This Because I Think There's There's Not

[00:40:09] A Lot New Going On Here Yeah Drones Coming Out Of Containers That Were Shipped Infiltrated Into A Country And Striking Their Strategic Assets That's A Heck Of A Clandestine Wartime Operation It's Quite A Success Like That Pager Attack Yeah It's In That League Yeah It I Think It Takes It One Not Above Exploding Pagers But

[00:40:39] It's It's It's Novel Things Happen In War But Probably Shouldn't Be It Right What Other News Tonight You Want To Jump Into Yeah How Much Worse Does The Property Market Have To Get For Sellers Before You're Buying That's A Good Question

[00:41:11] I Don't Know At This Point I Don't Think I Want To Buy A House So You Know Bitcoin Multiplies By Ten And That was New Reserve Currency Now At Least It's Got To Go Down 20% To Even Look At It But That Ain't Likely To Happen Anytime Soon Except For A True Collapse And With Interest Rates Going Up Actually Mortgage Rates Going Back Up It's Only Becoming More Expensive

[00:41:41] To Buy Houses You Know I Did Some Calculation On This Three Four Years Ago Or Five Years Ago Who Knows When I've When You Look At The Really Low Interest Rates Right Before COVID And After COVID And The Mortgage Rates That Were Three Percent Mortgage Rates And You Compare What A Four Hundred Thousand Dollar House

[00:42:10] At Three Percent Mortgage Compared To Damn Near So My Point Is There's A Huge Effect And With Interest Rates Going Up As Much As They've Done The Last Few Years I've Not Seen Prices Go Down At All So That's Fine Because There's Just Been So Much Inflation

[00:42:50] A Move Into Some You Know Recently New Construction In Florida That's Going To Get Wiped Out By Hurricane Necessarily But Anyway I Don't Know I Don't Know Man I've Expected The Real Straight Market To Melt For The Last Ten Years They've Kept It Going Somehow You Know Maybe It's Starting To Decay A Little Bit But I've Capitulated And Said That It'll Never Crash So Maybe That Means It's Actually Going To Happen

[00:43:19] Imminently I Don't Know When's The Fed Going To Cut Rates For Trump And Where Are We At With The Trade War Well One At To Everybody

[00:43:52] Five Days Ago May 7 2025 Maybe It's July It's Every Two Months I Think They Met May May 7th So Maybe It's Like After Around Fourth Of July I Don't Know I Don't Keep It On My Calendar Anymore But The Market Speaking Of Poly Market They Said There's Like A 90 Plus Chance That Powell Keeps Rates Flat So Not Expecting Interest Rate Cuts Anytime

[00:44:22] Soon The Fed's Been Trying To Say With All Their Feds Speak That They're Not Gonna They're Not Gonna Cut And Trump's Definitely Pissed About That How About That Trade War Is It Do You See A Severe Decline In Trade This Year I Don't Know If It's Proven Out In The Statistics That Much Yet Usually These Statistics You gotta Wait Like Literally Six Plus Months

[00:44:52] For To Prove Out In The Official Numbers But Any Tariff Will Really Dig Into Into That Trade And They've Talked About How They're Collecting Billions And Billions In Tariffs And Applying That So That Will Every Dollar Of Tariff Is Some Destruction Of Economic Activity How Much I Don't Have Access To That

[00:45:31] Just Be In Those First Stages Obviously Tariff Rates Have Come Down A Lot And The Left Is Trying To Say Oh Trump What Does He Say Always Chickens Out Or Some Stupid Thing It's Like No It's Pulling On The Levers Up And Down And Be Like All Right This Is What We Can Do Maybe We'll Pull It Back A Little Bit But We Always Have The Opportunity To Put It Back On 300 If You Don't Come

[00:46:01] To The Table So I Don't Know It's Going To Be A Slog It's Not Going To Think Think Think We'll See One Was That Like The Rescission Where They Reduce Things No The Big Beautiful Bill The Spending Bill The Appropriations

[00:46:31] Oh That They Gotta Do That First Oh I Don't Know Man I Hate All The Spending I'm Very Sour On That So I'm With Elon Musk You Can Have A Big Bill Or A Beautiful Bill You Can't Have Both So Not A Fan There's Some Decent Stuff In There But Most Of It's Same Old Okay So The Spending Bill Isn't Making Your Happy Chart Go Up I Got It But The Question Was Do

[00:47:07] You Cowards That Don't Go Forward With It Maybe I Would Be One Of Them I Would Think I Would Get Over My Ideological Stance And Just Do It Because Alternative Of The Left Is Stalling Things Up Trying To Come Back With Their Own Worst Big Government Down The Road So It Is A Loyalty Test I Think Things Will Get Gummed Up So Bad And There's Enough Stay Behind Networks To

[00:47:52] September October It Will Get It Will Be And It Will Be Worse If They Do It That Way Without You Know Now Now People Need Need More For Their District Will Have More Leverage Because It's Got To Get Passed Or The Shutdown I Remember What Was It Like 20 I Don't Even Know

[00:48:23] It Down Right Leaving Only Interns In The White House Etc So That's The Worst It's The Worst There's Ever Been Most Of Them Been Like From Friday To Monday Maybe A Week We Should Do A Whole Special On That Bill Analyze It When Does It Come Up To Vote Do You Have Any Idea I

[00:48:55] Have The Majority Necessary To Do This Without Controversy That's Just The Way We Are That's The Way Our Congress Is Right Now Well For Most Of My Adult Life I've Been Like That's Good Whatever Can Stall Up The Government It's Kind Of A Good Thing Whether You

[00:49:26] With Grok In Particular I Bet We Could Get Some Good Content For A Whole Hour Chopping Through That Bill So That's Something We Have To Do Later This Month Yeah I'm Just More Interested In Seeing Whether You Know It's Something That Can Allow This President To Retain The Congress In His Favor At The Midterm Because It You Know Ultimately They're Going To Spend Too Much Money The Debt Is Going To Get Worse And It's Going To

[00:49:56] Endanger All Of Our Economic Prosperity Going Forward We We're Pretty Sure That Already I'm Just Concern You Know If Trump Is Meant To Be The Second Herbert Hoover And The Economy Is Collapsed From Within Under His Bush's Term When Might That Happen

[00:50:26] If The Democrats Take Back One Or Both Of The Houses Of Congress How Does That Accelerate Or Delay Such A Collapse An Intentional Collapse If Such A Thing Is Possible Just Kind Of Spitball In Here I Still Think 2027 Is The Most Dangerous Year In The Next Four Years That We're Looking At Right I Think That Is A Big Possibility I've Said It

[00:50:56] Beforehand You Know Things Could Collapse Quicker But You Point Out That Last Thing They Want Is Trump To Have A Year Or Two Of Emergency Powers To Deal With Economic Collapse They Much Rather Do It 25 Here's A Here's A Here's A

[00:51:26] A Mental Quad Chart For You To Envision If You Will You Know Think About Any Collapse Coming Up You Could Split It Into Four Parts Intentional Or Out Of Control I Want To Say Accidental But Just Outside Of Humankind's Control And Then You Know Intentional And And Then From The United States Perspective Internal Or

[00:51:56] External So Like External Out Of Our Control Is The Meteorite Hitting The Super Volcano Going Off You Know The 9.9 Earthquake On The West Coast Something Like That Right Which Of Those Quadrants Are We Looking At From This Dimension Or That Dimension Right Intentional But External Would

[00:52:25] Be We're At War With A Near Peer In A Very Serious Nuclear War Right That Would Be The Collapse Scenario There Right There's Others There's There's Many Others But I Think Internally And Intentionally Having The Ponzi Schemes The Derivative Pyramids The Mayhem That's Behind Wall Street Is One Of The Easiest Pathways To Bring About

[00:52:55] A Collapse A Reset And More Importantly To Hang That Around The Neck Of MAGA For What The Perpetrators Would Hope To Be You Know Decades And Be Careful With Bitcoin Because There Could Be A Targeted Attack On Bitcoin Bring It Back Down To $20 $30 $30 Say It's Part Of The Trump Collapse Bitcoin Trump Jumped On Bitcoin And Now It's Become A Scam I Could Absolutely Believe It

[00:54:07] Hell I like that, uh, the four quadrants and it'd be cool to see where every topic or every, you know, five minutes of our shows over were plotted as a point in those quadrants. Where would they be? I think the internally caused collapse. Every time you say the word debt, you're in the top left quadrant talking about internal intentional. I do.

[00:54:36] I think mostly correct, but the Nate, you know, worldwide debt is also a problem. So stupid Japan and Europe dragging us down with them. They can be the precursor, but mostly the focus should be our own house, our own problems. So yes, when I say debt, it's mostly focused internally at our own problems, but it's a domino that could take everybody down kind of worldwide too. Yeah. Well, we saw, what was it?

[00:55:05] 97, the contagion coming out of, you know, property bubbles in Thailand. Thailand spread to Taiwan, Korea, central bank had a problem. And then it is, it swept the financial world with a, you know, they called it the contagion. Right. So externally, these threats can come economically.

[00:55:26] And because it's economic behavior, you know, I'm throwing that in the, you know, intentional category. Right. It's not, you know, uncontrolled, you know, economic choices of central banks are, you know, should be governed by the people who live in the countries that they serve. Your, your, your main thesis on Patriot power hour as the bank store breakers is that they're not governed.

[00:55:54] They're banksters, but everything can be controlled if the political willpower is there. Well, that's why Trump has been busting some heads, which I'm happy with, uh, a long way to go. A lot of bad actors still in there from the clean house with, and, uh, what can they do to get ahead of this? I don't know. I don't know. Anything else we want to hit on tonight?

[00:56:21] We're coming up on that one hour and I think we hit most of the news. Yeah. What are we doing about, uh, some data from ration or ruin? The cost analysis needs to be done. So I need to do that. Um, I don't know when it will be presented though. I mean, we will be getting together hopefully with a Trevor commander NBC guy later this week, this weekend. But I don't know. I mean, I can bring my laptop, I guess.

[00:56:52] Yeah. Let me help you figure it out. Let's get that out. Let's try to get that, get that back to people in, in, in the weekend. And cause there's people out there like me that, uh, might be using some of what we learned is by, you know, allow, allow for some, you know, good purchasing choices while our money is still worth something. There you go.

[00:57:12] So I think gram of protein per dollar and then calorie per dollar will be the two metrics I'll be trying to solve for, but there could be other ones that are super important too. So I'll be looking into that. Cool. Right. Looking forward to it. Me too. Good show, Ben. Episode what was it? Three or seven in the bag. I like it. We'll be back next week. What do you say? Yeah, I'll be here.

[00:57:42] Catch you later. Thank you to the audience. Yes. Yes. Thank you.
