Patriot Power Hour #276 - Calm Before The Storm

[00:00:01] 3M here.

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_03]: This is the last stand on Earth.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_04]: You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_04]: This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_04]: and independence.

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters and Future Dan, the editor of futuredanger.com.

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Patriot Power Hour, it's Ben, the Breaker of Banksters.

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: How y'all doing out there?

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: August 28th, 2024.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I will be going solo this week, but Future Dan will be joining in next week.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe next week will be our season finale as well.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: August 28th, 2024, right now.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be live again on September 4th, God willing next week.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: More than likely going to take off September 11th.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_01]: No particular reason, not because it's September 11th.

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I've had actually many shows on 9-11, but just because I got other stuff going

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: on that week.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: And we always take about one to two weeks off per quarter per season, if you're

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: watching.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: This is episode 276, I know a lot of listeners have been with us for quite a while, at

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_01]: least since we've been with PBN.

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So glad to make it another episode in the books tonight.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll definitely get to the news blitz in the second segment as always, but without

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Future Dan here, I guess it's up to me to come up with a topic.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Right before the air, which is where I do my best thinking.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, what does it say?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Necessity breeds innovation, something like that.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought to myself, hey, this is a good topic.

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Labor Day is coming up and sure, it's the start of football and end of summer

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and there's parties, you go to the pool last time, whatever.

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to be doing all that.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I will be doing a little bit of it, but not much.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be spending most of the weekend prepping.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: There's two major tasks I'm looking to take care of this coming weekend.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, unpack and then repack all of my bags because there's some items that

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: need replacing.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Not many, but medication for example, that expire right?

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Or I want to rotate out some food, things like that.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I have a few different bug out bags or just generally bags where I keep things.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I got them in different tiers, right?

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I got my, if S really hits the fan and I need to go hike 50 or 100 miles,

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I got my big ass pack, but that's not my everyday carry.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't often bring that with me just on my day-to-day travels.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_01]: If I'm going out of town, I will.

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But then I have my everyday carry pretty hardcore.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It's heavy, it's like 30 plus pounds, but it's not the 50 plus pound ruck.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So that 30 pound one, repack that one.

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Then I got a couple of miscellaneous bags where I just keep different preps and also

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: it could be a grab and go and or if there's people with you.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's something, I live alone except for my dogs.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I try to think of this though, if stuff's really getting crazy,

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I might have neighbors that want to come with me or my friend might be over

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: or I might go to the Jones Homestead first.

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know or vice versa if they come here.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_01]: My point is you might need more mouths to feed,

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_01]: but you also might need more firearms to distribute,

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: more packs to give out that could carry stuff.

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So I always have a few spare backpacks of stuff that could be useful.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's usually my secondary or tertiary version of things, right?

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was never in the military, but I do know from Future Dan himself saying it

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: many times as well as NBC guy, both vets, that two is one and one is none.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's certainly a preparatage as well.

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So if I have like three or four Leatherman multi-tools,

[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll have one just that stays at my home at all times.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_01]: One that goes into my big ass ruck.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And then one that goes in one of those miscellaneous bags in my vehicle perhaps.

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_01]: So I distribute them and that's always worked for me.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, take some maintenance.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So some of these things you want to cycle through,

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: some things you want to just take inventory.

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We as preparators like to take inventory, look at our things, right?

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping it's not too crazy.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Most of my bags are already well packed

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and there's not that much stuff that's going to expire.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit of medications perhaps.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to go into a full like what my bug out bag is about.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: So don't worry about that.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_01]: There's millions of YouTubes and podcasts and of course,

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_01]: awesome episodes on Prepper Broadcasting Network about bug out bags.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Whether you're on Spreaker.com listening to this or on podcast app or whatever,

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: just search bug out bag under Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Guaranteed you're going to find some episodes.

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, that's something big I'm going to do this weekend.

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: But number two is winterizing or just getting ready for winter preps.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not getting my log pile topped off yet,

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: but that'll be something I do in like mid to late September.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: But getting my clothes rotated out, right?

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Getting warm weather gear in some of those bags I was talking about.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, another big thing about those bags,

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to rotate them a couple times a year at least

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: to change from like spring summer gear into fall winter.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Because as the freaking Nazis, if you have summer gear going into Russia in the winter,

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_01]: it's not going to work too good.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_01]: As of your prepper and you're going into the summer

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and you only have winter gear, that's going to kind of suck,

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's definitely going to suck if you're trying to bug out into the winter

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and all you got is a rain jacket as your thickest clothing or

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: protection while you're out there in the elements freezing your ass off.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So those are a couple big things I'm going to be doing.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_01]: With those also come getting the vehicle just up to snuff,

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_01]: making sure it's got the basic things like oil

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and getting the tires pumped up or whatever, right?

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But other things too.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually another good thing, rotating the gas.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Now NBC guy rotates his gas often and he's got a huge cache of gas

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and diesel too and propane.

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't have anything close to that,

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_01]: but I do have some and so I'll rotate that out as well for example this weekend.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So Labor Day work for yourself.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what I wanted to leave it on.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't work for the man, work for yourself on Labor Day as a prepper.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And of course if you're a family person, you can hang out with the family.

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a great way to work on your family, have great relations with your family.

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to do prepping this weekend.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Do it the next weekend.

[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you guys watch NFL or football.

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: When I do, I'm always multitasking either working out,

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_01]: prepping, cleaning, or it's muted and I'm talking to my mom on the phone.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if you need your Soma,

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: your football or basketball or whatever,

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: your TV show, mindless TV show or whatever.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Try to multitask when you're doing that at a minimum.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: But Labor Day, I'm going to be dedicating a good majority of the weekend to this.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'll be putting in, honestly Saturday I'm going to take Saturday off,

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_01]: but Sunday and Monday I'm going to be putting in between seven to ten hours each day.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Just like a normal workday, but working for myself.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Working for prepping purposes and all that.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So there you go.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: That was my topic.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_01]: That's about all I can beat out of that dead horse.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to go to break.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to come back for the news blitz.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Got a good dozen or so headlines to go through, maybe a little less.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It's actually kind of quiet.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: That's why this is the Calm Before the Storm podcast.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Not that there's a lot of things going on because there are

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot of important things going on.

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Compared to what I think things will be like in September and beyond,

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_01]: kind of crazy what I think is coming across in the future.

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_01]: But long story short, kind of calm.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We do have some news that we'll go through, of course.

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a few topics I want to hit on.

[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we can still get pretty darn near an hour out of this show.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll try our best.

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a power hour.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: That means it could be a little less than or a little more than an hour.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway folks, going to go to break.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Check out the sponsors and also of course go to pbnfamily.com.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: That's where you can sign up to be a member and get all this other resources

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and different material, content.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I really should do in the master preparedness schedule

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and do a whole daily audio cash or series of me completing the preparedness schedule.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That might be my next thing.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I talked about the fasting and we did some fasting, right?

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure you guys are kind of sick of hearing that right now.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It went very well though.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm back to eating by the way.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Things went well.

[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But next thing might be the master preparedness schedule.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'll do that as like a January thing,

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, kind of have a new year, get a new thing going.

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know.

[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, go into commercials, support the network.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be right back with the news.

[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Are you prepared to be the family doctor in a disaster or emergency?

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_00]: This is the Intrepid Commander and I'm holding the Prepper's Medical Handbook

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_00]: and how to build the off-grid medical kit at home.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Look, 2020 taught us a lot about the limitations of our medical infrastructure in America.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Get the Prepper's Medical Handbook today at amazon.com.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Patriot Power Hour back at ya.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Time for the news blitz.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_01]: 8-28-24. August 28th, 2024, episode 276.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's start with one of them and we're gonna talk a lot about it after the blitz.

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm trying not to linger on it but this is SHTF,

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_01]: red on black, really the most important article of the week.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Department of Health and Human Services links fluoridated drinking water

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_01]: to a between 2% or two point that is to five point IQ drop in children.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's try that again.

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Department of Health and Human Services links fluoridated

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: drinking water to a two to five point IQ drop in children.

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: So hits the children big time.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: If your average IQ is 100, well they're losing two to five points.

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So two to five percent but in fact it's way more than that.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk about it.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: That's under the health column this week.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Fluoride effects exposed.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Economics honestly pretty quiet.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Gold is stuck around right at 2500.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Silver just under 30 bucks.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Bitcoin about 60k.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_01]: All these numbers have been right around those levels maybe.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Bitcoin a little higher, a little lower.

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_01]: But they've been kind of hanging out there waiting to see what the Fed does

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_01]: in September and beyond.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Waiting to see what happens with the election and waiting to see if there's any war.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So I will say this, there's not much going on from a headline perspective that's currently

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: dangerous that we try to focus on here in Patriot Power Hour.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: There are of course earnings coming out, Salesforce beats earnings and all these other

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: things.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the 5000 or 500 foot view.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not looking for that right now.

[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: There is one article of note though actually.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Better not skip this one.

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Federal government debt now equals all the money in the world.

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: What?

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: That sounds crazy.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And again we will review this in more detail but the debt is now equal to all

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_01]: the money in the world.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_01]: How is that even possible?

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk about it.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't forget about what six, seven weeks ago Trump was almost murdered

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: live TV.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Geez how things would be changed so much right now if that had happened,

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: you know if he had actually been killed or permanently incapacitated.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_01]: A little bit of news still coming out.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Now the committee is getting full force in Congress investigating the assassination

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_01]: attempt.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_01]: The FBI is investigating and the father of Thomas Crooks has hired a lawyer

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and who wouldn't if that was my kid.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, can you believe it?

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He's hired a lawyer.

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: FBI is investigating.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure it's in great hands.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Geopolitically Chinese military plane breaches Japanese territorial air space for

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_01]: the first time.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_01]: They've they've breached Taiwanese and other airspace before but not Japan.

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: They're bitter rival nemesis, especially going back to World War II.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_01]: US kinda brings their own volley into the mix.

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: US destroyer sails through Taiwan straight.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So between China and Taiwan.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: As China steps up warplane incursions around the island, so China's saber

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: rattling at Taiwan and Japan and the US generally.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And America is still like, hey, we'll still mess you up.

[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess US destroyers sailing through that Taiwan straight where tons of

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: maritime traffic goes through that straight.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But you know, that'd be like kinda going up into New York Harbor almost damn near.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright, here's where it seems like the real problem and we've talked a little bit about it.

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But Israel and Iran are just on a head on collision have been for eternity, it seems,

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: but things are really starting to spiral.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It seems Israel assassinating in all different countries, including in Iran.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Also air strikes just wanton destruction.

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Not saying that they're the bad guys or the good guys because obviously many

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: in Israel have been killed not only on what was October 7th, I believe,

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: but we have October 6th, but rockets from Hezbollah are now starting to land.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_01]: There's been evacuations in the West Bank.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Now Gaza has been getting totally destroyed, so it's started to heat up.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Say the least IDF strikes hit Lebanon as Hezbollah fires hundreds of rockets at Israel,

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: some getting through the Iron Dome and Patriot systems and otherwise.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But at this point, at least, knock on wood, not World War III nuclear right now, at least.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Some might say we're in World War III though, I don't know.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_01]: No headlines here about Ukraine, but don't worry,

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be talking about Ukraine in a little bit too because that is a hot war for sure.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Finally, Democrats sue Georgia election board to block voter integrity measures.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep, they don't like voter integrity.

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Now this is straight out of the last 24 to 36 hours, Paxton in Texas has purged I think

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: like a million or more illegals and dead people and fraudulent entries on the voter rolls

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: in Texas, so like a million, something like a million, 100,000 or somewhere around there.

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Also arrested and inditing people who are signing illegals up to vote in Texas,

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: so that's nice. I'd like to see that.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to please stay where they just round up everybody with no evidence,

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: but let's just say there's a lot of evidence, a lot of bad things,

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: so some people should be getting arrested and investigated.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like they're on track.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: 1.1 million on the voter rolls, holy cow.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a news blitz.

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go through a few of these articles specifically, and then I got a couple

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: other again topics that aren't on the dashboard necessarily.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Why are they not on the dashboard? Because they're not necessarily happening right now.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not threats or actualized right now.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what that dashboard is more like, breaking news

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: or something that's threatening and maybe even worth executing your preparedness plans

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: if enough of these are active at once or affect your area, your region, etc.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to do reverse order because I'm going to leave that floor right thing to the end.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think I talked enough about the Democrats,

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_01]: so the Georgia election board, but I probably should not go source some

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_01]: more information about Texas, but I heard it on multiple radio shows today.

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't able to read much news today at work, but on my commute,

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a nice long commute unfortunately, but I get to listen to a lot of radio,

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: podcasts and audiobooks.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So turn lemons in the lemonade.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a working stiff with a long commute, but anyway, that is good news.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's the question. How could Democrats not want to do that?

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_01]: You want to make it fair and keep things up to date?

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Just from a data person. I have a master's in finances.

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I like to remind everybody all the time.

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but this makes a lot of sense.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want clean data.

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want my database and all the users that have access to my database,

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_01]: or in this case voters, to be as perfectly up to date as possible

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_01]: where old ones are purged or inactivated, new ones are added

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_01]: seamlessly, even properly and double checked and quality assured and audited.

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Like that's good data integrity.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so data integrity, voter integrity, same thing.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Nowadays. So there, there, that's where my master's in finance comes in today.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Data because data statistics numbers.

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Super important, but easily manipulated just like we saw last week.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_01]: More than 800,000 jobs just went poof.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep. I know we talked about it last week, but might as well rehash it super quick now

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm onto it. 818,000 jobs from March up through, I think probably end of July,

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_01]: but don't quote me on that, but over a few months period,

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: they had been overestimating or just lying about how many jobs were being created under

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Biden administration and they actually had to revise it.

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Bring it into almost reality by cutting out 800,000 jobs.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_01]: That's more than half of a percent on unemployment.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So if they thought unemployment was 4% now it's four and a half percent instantly.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I still think it's kind of odd that that happened right before the election.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I do think some of the banksters or a faction of the banksters want Trump to win.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I really do. Probably not most and definitely not the socioeconomic terrorists out there

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: who are particularly nasty faction of the banksters

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_01]: and make their hay with the Democrats a little bit more than Republicans, I could say.

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I digress. So how about the Iran and Israel action going on now?

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_01]: A couple of few weeks ago folks were thinking it was going to be the Samson option,

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_01]: which is Israel just nukes the hell out of all their neighbors because they're

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: going to get overrun from all sides. So they preemptively nuke everyone.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Luckily that didn't happen in the last few weeks.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: People were talking about it. It was possible and perhaps the best option for Israel before

[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Iran attacked. So that hasn't happened. It's been cooling off a little bit but the proxies

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: are ramping up their attacks on Israel again, Hezbollah. Oh, and by the way,

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: this is breaking news today. Let me hit this. The Houthis in Yemen, which are separate but

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01]: related cluster, you know what, of the Middle East, a tanker, an oil tanker was hit and many

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01]: have been hit over the last few years. But one of these tankers is on fire, still been on,

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_01]: it was hit last week and is still on fire. Could be leaking oil into the Red Sea and maybe

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: the biggest oil leak of all time and it's four times bigger than the Exxon Valdez.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you remember that? What year was the Exxon Valdez or Valdez, whatever?

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It was like the mid to late 80s and as a kid that was like the thing they tried to scare

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: us with all the time because honestly I grew, let's see, this is all right here we go,

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_01]: 1989 was Exxon Valdez. Okay. And so I was like, you know, in kindergarten or preschool at that

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_01]: time, but by like second, third, fourth grade we were getting hit hard by some of the first

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: waves of the eco-terrorists propaganda. Now listen, I love the environment. I grew up in

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Colorado. It's beautiful. I don't want to destroy the environment at all, but the global

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: warming, the climate change, manmade in particular plus carbon credits and the whole thing from there

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: is just such a scam. I don't even want to get too deep into it right now, but

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: there are major problems and risks to the environment for sure and I'm all about that,

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: but improving that, but long story short when I was a kid, Exxon Valdez was the worst thing

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_01]: that ever happened ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. They didn't really talk to us about Chernobyl

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01]: too much when I was like in elementary school. That is, that is maybe that was old news

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_01]: because a few years before about that is, but remember like the weekly reader, did you get a

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_01]: weekly reader? Like I guarantee Exxon Valdez is on that. I also remember like the Hubble

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: space telescope being screwed up and they had to go fix it. That was one of my weekly

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: readers. Anyway, worst thing ever, some of these, well this thing's four times bigger

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: here. That's 150,000 tons. That's crazy. Think about it. Think of one ton of crude oil, one

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: ton. I don't know what that looks like exactly, but it sounds like a hell of a lot.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: A ton of crude oil. Go pick up a quart of oil, right? And you're like, okay, that's a

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: quart of oil. I don't know how much a ton is, but it's a lot more than that. Then multiply

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01]: by 150,000. This is probably like dozens of freaking Olympic swimming pools of oil just

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_01]: spilling out. So yeah, U S state department warned in a statement. So the state department

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_01]: in a statement warned on Saturday that the potential spill could be four times the size,

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: but hey, it's in the red seas instead of Alaska. So who cares? No, just one more negative side

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_01]: effect of the massive wars everybody's always trying to get into. I'm telling you the worst

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: thing with the economy is the damn wars and also the worst thing for humanity. So okay,

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_01]: let's continue on. Oh, be remiss if we didn't talk about RFK putting his

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_01]: weight behind Trump. Several states are refusing to remove RFK junior's name from ballots

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: in the swing States. He is trying to get his name off of that. So people will vote for

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Trump instead of him. Whereas in the ones where Trump or Harris have clear wins, RFK is going

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: to stay on those ballots because it doesn't really matter. I guess it's kind of like a

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_01]: thing, but in the swing States where he might pull away and more than likely if he was going

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_01]: to pull from Harris or from Trump, it would be from Trump more than likely. It seems like it.

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, now he's supporting Trump and he pulled out on those swing States,

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_01]: but some of these States have refused to remove his name from the ballot.

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado. I mean, you can expect Colorado to do that. My great state

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_01]: in peace. But yeah, Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado are refusing to remove RFK's name,

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: which are de facto helping Harris. So will they keep the same energy? Okay. So

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_01]: kids that are younger than me because anyone younger than me is a kid.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You know how it goes. Everybody out there, right? Anyone younger than you is a kid.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So kids these days say, keep that same energy. Right? I'm too old to say that. Like it'd be

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_01]: cool saying that, but anyway, I doubt that Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado would keep that

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_01]: same energy about not removing Trump. If he withdrew, I bet they would have that freaking

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_01]: right off instantly. Oh, Trump's withdrawn his name from the ballot or if he had been killed,

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we're taking it. I guess if he killed is probably different than they probably would take

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: it off pretty easy, but maybe not the killed example, but if, if in the 0.000001% chance Trump

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_01]: told them to take the, take his name off the ballot in these States,

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: never, never would have him. But if it did, they would do it instantly. I guarantee.

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're like standing on principles so much that they'd be like, no,

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe they are. Maybe they are doubted though. So anyway, interesting on the politics front

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_01]: only a couple of months. Jeez. It's August 28th and it'll be November or excuse me,

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_01]: September 28th, October 28th. And by the time we're on October 28th, we're there. So two

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: months, two months or less. That's like probably like 10 weeks or something. Maybe

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: countdown is on to say at least I think that's all we'll talk about with regard to

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: geopolitics and national security. Yeah, definitely hope that more and more comes out

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and some people get held accountable for the let it happen on purpose minimal.

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_01]: What happened with Trump? Hopefully calls them out big time when he returns to Butler,

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Pennsylvania. I believe he's doing that in September. I'm not sure when exactly, but

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: here we go. This one I've been waiting for this federal government debt now equals all the money

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: in the world. What does that even mean? All the money in the world.

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll try to get too nerdy about it, but this is from the American thinker.com David Walls

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Kaufman. Here we go. Our biggest national expense is interest service on the debt.

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But did you know that the 35 plus trillion dollars we have represents all the money in

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: the world? Well, this author David decided, Hey, I'm going to go look it up. Look up and

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: try to figure out how much money there is in the world. What does that even mean? Right?

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the world at Atlas says all the money in the world equals 37.8 trillion. So what's

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: the exact definition of money? Well, there's M1, M2 and M3, which are the Federal Reserve

[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: and US government's definition of money. Then you have like the dictionary definition

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_01]: of money. And it's actually kind of hard to say what money is, but let's just say for now,

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_01]: it's very liquid, right? And usually can be non-fungible. So it can't be replicated. It

[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_01]: could be divided into very small units and it's pretty easy to transact with. So your house is

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_01]: not money. Your 401k really isn't money. All the debt on your company's balance sheet,

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: not really money. The value of stocks that your company might have or companies that you

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: invest in or whatever, that's not really money. Now in some regard you could say it is,

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: or we could convert it into money, but blah, blah, blah. Apparently when you say

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: all these different factors put together, the world Atlas says that actual money,

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: not all these other types of assets, if you put all those other assets together,

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: it's hundreds of trillions of dollars. But just the money, just like the money in people's

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_01]: bank accounts and corporation bank accounts and in your pocket and under your mattress,

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_01]: right, is about 37.8 trillion. Well that's equal to what our debt is. So

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_01]: that's all the money in the world versus just the US government's national debt,

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: not even county personal debt, local debt, municipal debt, state debt, et cetera. So

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: keep that in mind. Even if you had every freaking dollar in the entire world of actual

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_01]: dollars without withdrawing from a 401k or any of the other things I said, you couldn't pay off

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: the national debt. What the hell is going on? And it's growing massively by the way.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: So the rest of this article talks about how the spending got out of control. The Democrats

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_01]: were a huge reason for this. The good old Bush administration definitely started screwing us over

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_01]: but Obama, Biden certainly didn't fix anything. Trump somewhat putting it on a better path. COVID

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: certainly reversed any ground that was gained and knocked it even worse backwards. Don't forget

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: the Stimmes. But I mean, what can I say? The biggest factor in this is the military spending.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So $300 billion a year. That was back in Reagan, it was about 300 billion a year in Pentagon.

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Now we're up to a trillion plus acknowledged. And a lot of that goes to US companies and salaries

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_01]: for US citizens. So it's not wasted per se but still quite a lot. But instead of defense

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: spending being the largest outlay, now it's actually the interest on the debt. So I can't

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: even blame the military anymore. The left can't blame the military, the right can't blame Medicare

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and Social Security because guess what? Actually just the aggregate debt and the interest on that

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: debt is more than any of those things by themselves. So yeah, yeah. I mean how much

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_01]: did they say Afghanistan-Iraq war cost? Like three trillion and we left like 80 billion with a

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_01]: B worth of equipment and ammo and shit over there. Oh my gosh, I won't even get into it.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to... NBC guys probably freaking mad. He was mad earlier. He did a daily out

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_01]: air catch earlier this week on the three year anniversary of Afghanistan withdrawal.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just pathetic. I want to take our firearms but we'll leave Black Hawk helicopters and high

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: explosives in Afghanistan. Okay, all right, all right. Stop ranting. Here we go. Back to the news.

[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_01]: What sanctions? China imports a record amount of Iranian oil. So we try to put sanctions on

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Iran. We try to put sanctions on Russia, try to put sanctions on other countries and organizations

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and oligarchs and people and families put them on the list, right? Trust me, they don't like it.

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It hurts them but China's even rewards. They're getting cheap prices and it's helping out the

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Russians. It's helping out the Iranians and it's driving all of them closer and they're not

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_01]: going to need the US dollar to trade amongst each other like they've been doing the last 50 to 60

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_01]: years, right? Now this has been a long time coming and it's pretty much already taking place

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_01]: but the US dollar is no longer the reserve currency for anyone except for NATO countries

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and a few neutral-ish countries. So anyone who's even partially adversarial to us

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: is moving away or has already moved away from US dollars and US treasuries, whether that's

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: in the Yuan or in El Salvador's case into Bitcoin or into gold. Many countries are stacking

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: tons and tons, literally tons of gold. I was talking about the tons of crude oil. Can you

[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_01]: imagine tens of thousands of tons of gold China's been buying and so is Russia.

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, Iranian oil exports were, gosh dang, in Trump's time they went from... Let's get this

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_01]: right. Let's see. It's a little seasonal but I'll try to pull the average out. About

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_01]: 500,000 barrels a day, 500,000 barrels of oil per day, up to 1.5 million per day, so 3x.

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And this is what China was importing from Iran. So they were always importing some from Iran

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_01]: but instead of it being 300, 400, 500,000 barrels a day, which is a lot,

[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot, but China has like not much oil at all. So like they need the oil really bad and

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_01]: they used to be buying a fair amount but instead of buying a few hundred thousand,

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_01]: 400,000, 500,000, they're buying 1 million, 1.25 million, 1 point... Looks like even 1.7

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_01]: million in the most recent month. It's growing quick. It went from 1 million to 1.5 million

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_01]: just in the last like 10 months. So it was damn near zero around COVID now everything

[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: is locked down. So that's part of it, but it's also partially the Biden administration

[00:40:48] [SPEAKER_01]: allowing this to happen in different ways and the sanctions that totally failed and just

[00:40:53] [SPEAKER_01]: the oil was able to squeeze out a hole right into China's pocket. There you go.

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_01]: A couple other random articles. Let's knock them out. I have these kind of

[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_01]: news telegram a bit, not a ton but it's encrypted message service.

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the telegram CEO charged with criminal use of the app, not allowed to leave France.

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Charged and released but again unable to leave France. There have been all types of

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: charges in there. Some include alleging child porn, drugs, all types of corruption.

[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: So this is not exactly done by this guy but done on his platform and he has not or would not

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or could not cooperate with the authorities because it's an encrypted private platform.

[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And they said, okay, you're not going to work with us and give us the secret master key.

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Then you are complicit in the spread of child porn and all this other stuff.

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a tough case for sure. I'm a proponent of if you get a warrant and it's properly

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_01]: serviced and everything's right with it in America, then you should have to give up your

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_01]: surveillance video, for example, or even your telephone, I guess. There's a right way to do

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: it in the wrong way and it should be very specific what they're looking for and all that

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_01]: stuff, right? It's like the Bill of Rights, you know. You should be securing your papers

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and all that but if they got a proper warrant and especially if it was an imminent threat

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and all these things, very specific, then that's important for society to kind of have

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that authority granted limited fashion. There you go. Here's my libertarian take on it.

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know. This seems like a stretch. He's definitely a political enemy of them.

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So kind of same thing. Would they keep this same energy with Zuckerberg

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_01]: or some of their other big tech cronies where nefarious things happen on their networks,

[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_01]: websites, or services? Would the French arrest them? At this point, they probably would

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_01]: arrest Elon Musk. But I don't know about Zuckerberg and trust me, a lot of bad things

[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_01]: happen on Facebook too. So I'm not defending this Pavel Dura for all I know. He created

[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Telegram and worked with it just so we could get away with all this horrible stuff. He

[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_01]: could be a horrible, horrible person or he could be getting totally railroaded

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and totally, I guess, could be total BS. I'll keep investigating into it but wanted

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_01]: to point that out and more and more pressure is being put on free speech to say the least

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_01]: because this is free speech, a huge free speech issue. Again, I believe in warrants. The French

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_01]: say they had the proper warrants and stuff so I don't know. But some free speech advocates have

[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_01]: pointed out that this is tantamount to holding Google executives legally accountable for every

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_01]: criminal communication that ever happens on Google platforms. So everything on Gmail,

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: everything that was ever done bad on YouTube or stored on Google Drive, right? All that crap.

[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Slippery slope and detailed but yeah. I've seen a lot of this type of stuff lately.

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a, I don't know this, FinTech giant but they are out of Sweden.

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But they got about 5,000 workers so not a small business for sure. 5,000 sounds like a lot but

[00:45:13] [SPEAKER_01]: it's not a ton but it's fair enough. But they're expecting to cut nearly half of their

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_01]: workers in the next three to five years as it transitions to AI for customer service and

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_01]: marketing. Well, you know what? If you work in the customer service or marketing or even

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_01]: adjacent to customer service and marketing at your company, you better start learning either

[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_01]: how to use AI or other things that could be useful in the marketplace because they're

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_01]: probably not going to need you very much anymore if you work at a call center. In five

[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_01]: years they're just going to have AI with a nice pleasant voice act like they are a real

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_01]: person answering your call. They're already probably there half the time. So if you are

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_01]: in a call center or an IT help desk that's very basic, work on your skills ASAP and work

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_01]: your way up the ladder because AI is chasing ya. And by the way, focus on human interaction.

[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a big part. You either got to go two ways with AI. That's how I look at it.

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You can go both. I'm going to try to go both but one or the other or both.

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Either become really, really, really good with using AI. Top 5% in your industry,

[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_01]: top minimum 10% of your industry of your job title or type be the best. So if you get 10

[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_01]: of your peers in the room, you are the best at AI. That'll help you a lot. And or

[00:46:51] [SPEAKER_01]: just be really, really, really, really good with working with people. And that could either,

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_01]: if you work in the government, that could just be kissing ass and you know. But there are

[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_01]: legitimate people jobs in the world and in America. So in my job without going too deep

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_01]: into it I don't think AI can do it for quite a while. Maybe someday. But

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to deal with all different types of human personalities and nuances and interpretations

[00:47:27] [SPEAKER_01]: that are just like super difficult for an AI to take care of right now. I don't know

[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_01]: who's in the future though. So yeah. But keep that in mind. Truck driver, I'm telling you

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_01]: 10 years from now by 2034 I bet half the truck drivers are automated, you know?

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I think so. I think by 2034, half of let's just say interstate trucks. Maybe not your average

[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_01]: truck that goes from one part of the city to another city or whatever. Oh, my dogs are

[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_01]: going crazy. I'm gonna go check it. There was a bear in my front yard last night. The first

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_01]: time I saw one my dogs were going ape, you know what? Barking at it and all I saw was

[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_01]: like a dark splotch in the yard and I'm like let me get the flashlight and whoa there's a big

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_01]: ass bear 40 yards from me. But then he literally just looked at me and then just started

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_01]: lumbering off. He just walked. Then he walked into the fucking road. Oops, I'm gonna have to

[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: hit explicit now. But I was like, uh, you're just gonna walk into the road and then someone's

[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_01]: gonna drive down there and see a bear in the road. Well, that's not my problem I guess.

[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I better remember to hit explicit. I'll let an F-bomb drop. Usually I'm good at not doing

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_01]: that but when I'm just by myself here sometimes get a little crazy. But that bear, that was

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_01]: crazy. So anyway, my dogs are not going too crazy so I don't think it's a bear. I mean

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_01]: they were going really crazy. They don't bark much. Heck, we're up to nearly 50 minutes live.

[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a couple more articles. Those might as well. Hell, going even back into my somewhat

[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_01]: personal professional life. Like I've said before, I work in the insurance industry.

[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Commercial insurance and if there's a work comp injury or an auto accident or your factory

[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_01]: burns down and you get a cyber attack, all these different things. You get sued for different

[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_01]: things. You may or may not have insurance for it. Well, one thing that's gone up big time in

[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_01]: price, big time, and you know this from your own personal auto insurance I'm sure. But

[00:49:48] [SPEAKER_01]: auto insurance costs doubled for businesses in the last five years.

[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And personal probably as much. I don't deal with personal insurance but

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I know my own insurance has gone up somewhat. I don't have that expensive of a car thankfully.

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, here's an article that explains oh, here's a tangible dollar figure associated with

[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_01]: illegal immigrants. Venezuelan migrant driving for Amazon hits mother and four-year-old child

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and flees the scene. Now I know this is anecdotal and just I told you so. But I've

[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_01]: also been hit and run by an illegal. I got the uninsured motorist and then the police

[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_01]: got involved and apprehended him after I chased him a little bit. They got him later and yeah,

[00:50:35] [SPEAKER_01]: he was undocumented illegal immigrant. Hit and run on me. Well this Venezuelan migrant was

[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_01]: driving for Amazon, ran over her mother, hurt her severely, catastrophic injury. So I guess

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_01]: she didn't die but she was dragged so who knows if she's even able to walk ever again

[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or anything. So this mom was walking her infant and family dog in Miami when they were hit by

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_01]: by an Amazon truck and the Amazon truck ran off. The tourist visa expired in 2021 so tourist visa

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_01]: but this person did get a temporary protected status in 2021. I think that's the Biden

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_01]: administration. Wow that's screwed up. I almost dropped the F word again. The driver briefly

[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_01]: stopped to upright the stroller, placed the baby back in its seat before fleeing the scene.

[00:51:32] [SPEAKER_01]: That's almost worse. Like oh I hit a baby let me go put it in his stroller and then drive off.

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that's horrifying. So that's going to cost Amazon several million dollars.

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Luckily they got this person or they knew who it was but hey 90% of illegal immigrants might be

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_01]: super great awesome people but that 10% can ruin it for everybody with shit like this.

[00:52:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Right? This is going to cost millions and millions of dollars not to mention the pain

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and suffering of the mother, the infant, his mom's pretty much dead now and the infant might

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_01]: hurt pretty bad too. So yeah so that guess who gets to pay for that? You as the insurance

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_01]: purchaser. The insurance company will have to pay it out but guess what they're going to rack

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_01]: up those rates on everybody. Insurance always gets their money. So there you go another way

[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_01]: illegal immigration is costing you right there. People don't think of it but it's true man.

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: In my entire career, my entire life working I'll make less money before taxes than that one claim

[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_01]: will be right there that we just talked about. If it gets paid out properly it'll be 10 plus

[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_01]: million dollars minimum. All because one tourist visa denial was not followed up on. Imagine

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_01]: what's going to happen next year three years or five years or ten years from now for all

[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_01]: the people that just came in the last year or two. This person came several years ago

[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and just overstayed. We got brand new people who are even and way more of them who are

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_01]: integrating even less than this person. It's going to get rough people. That's about it.

[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I think a couple other topical news articles but I'm telling you a little bit calm before

[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_01]: the storm even though there's some activity and obviously Trump almost assassinated and

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Democrats just got rid of weekend at Bernie and just threw up Kamala instead of Biden all

[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_01]: this summer. So it has been actually quite an active summer but this past week or two

[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_01]: a little more back to quiet. It ain't going to be like that into September and beyond into

[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_01]: the election and whether it's war, the election, a black swan or two. We'll be

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_01]: reporting on it and I'm going to be prepping my ass off as Labor Day weekend. I hope you are too.

[00:54:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll be listening to Prep and Broadcast Network while I prep as well, catch up on all the

[00:54:18] [SPEAKER_01]: podcasts, audiobooks, drama, audio series drama. Really I go into the archives sometimes

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_01]: especially if I'm on a long ass prepping day cleaning just getting things ready and I run

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_01]: out of recent articles or not articles, podcasts. Then I'll go search for a particular topic going

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_01]: back two, three, four years even further on Prep or Broadcast Network on Spreaker or my podcast

[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_01]: addict app. So that's cool. Dive into the archives. Another cool thing about PBN.

[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_01]: All right folks, I won't belabor the point. I'm going to get out of here. We'll be back

[00:54:57] [SPEAKER_01]: next week. Patriot Power Hour, future day and we'll be back. It'll be our season finale.

[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_01]: God willing the fifth of September but for the last episode of August 2024, August 28th,

[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_01]: 2024 I'm signing off. Ben the Breaker of Banksters. See you next week.
