Patriot Power Hour #284 - Presidential Election Debrief

[00:00:25] Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro.

[00:00:31] And in the midst of his story, one of my friends turned to the other and said, we don't know how lucky we are.

[00:00:36] And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are. I had some place to escape to.

[00:00:42] And in that sentence, he told us the entire story. If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.

[00:00:54] This is the last stand on Earth. The last stand on Earth.

[00:01:03] You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour.

[00:02:14] This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence.

[00:02:21] Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com.

[00:02:31] November 6th, 2024, Patriot Power Hour. The day after the election and, well, simply put, Trump crushed it.

[00:02:42] Future Dan, this has got to be a top 10 percentile best outcome I could have ever seen after July 13th.

[00:02:50] Like, if you asked me then, the ideal outcome up till this point, this would have been it.

[00:02:56] So, you know, great to see.

[00:02:59] Yeah, don't call it a comeback. He's been here for years.

[00:03:03] And barring some of the contingencies that you and I talked about on our election special just a few days ago,

[00:03:14] he's coming in as the 47th president of the United States after serving as the 45th of the Gap.

[00:03:22] So, quite extraordinary times we're living in.

[00:03:26] And I would suggest we kick this off with some analysis on how the vote was different this year.

[00:03:37] Or, in fact, the same again from previous years.

[00:03:43] Well, we can look at the overall vote for 2016, 2020, and 2024.

[00:03:50] The overall turnout, a number of votes from Democrats.

[00:03:54] Let's just say it returned to the mean this time around.

[00:03:58] And it just makes 2020 really stick out as a sore thumb.

[00:04:02] So that's something big in of itself right there.

[00:04:06] I'd go back to 2012, too.

[00:04:08] So Obama's first win was low to middle 60 million.

[00:04:15] Did it a little bit better, 64 or 66 in 2012.

[00:04:23] And then Hillary was right about at the same number.

[00:04:28] And Kamala might have done a little bit better than that.

[00:04:32] You know, the population is growing, too.

[00:04:34] So 66 million, I believe, is her popular count right now.

[00:04:38] Although New York and California, they're trying as hard as they can to continue counting.

[00:04:43] You know, Trump holds a 4.8 million nationwide popular vote win.

[00:04:50] Wow.

[00:04:51] Right now?

[00:04:52] Yeah.

[00:04:53] And then there's Joe Biden's 81 million votes from somewhere.

[00:04:59] I don't know where in reality there was 20, 16 million voters who showed up that year, but never were there for Obama, Hillary or this year, Harris.

[00:05:14] There's clear evidence that fraud must be investigated.

[00:05:20] I don't know where he's going to be investigated.

[00:05:20] How the mail-in ballots were broken.

[00:05:25] Trump, if he's promised something, like he said, this can never happen again, can ever happen in our elections again.

[00:05:34] My hope is that is a top priority in this winter to go and get the documentation, take it to the states that did that cheating, take it to the counties, peel back the network.

[00:05:48] Because we are only one bio attack away from suffering an election like that again if we don't fix it.

[00:05:55] And that's why I'm so surprised, honestly, that this happened.

[00:05:59] I wasn't surprised that they tried to kill him in July, and I wasn't surprised they tried at least another time.

[00:06:09] But if, as we've said here on Patriot Power Hour a few times, we've insinuated that COVID-19, a main reason, if not the main reason for its release was to dethrone Trump, get him off, get him out of there in 2020.

[00:06:28] So if they did that, a worldwide pandemic that just cost trillions of dollars and killed lots of people, maybe less than they claim, but still a lot.

[00:06:39] If they did that, at least in part, to dethrone Trump, I figured they would pull out the stops even bigger and not let him back where he could expose all that happened in 2020.

[00:06:52] Not to mention all types of other shenanigans going on with the DOJ nowadays, right?

[00:06:58] So we're not totally over the hill yet.

[00:07:02] So I'm very happy.

[00:07:04] I woke up this morning and I was happy, but it ain't over yet.

[00:07:07] You hate what word?

[00:07:08] Yeah, shenanigans.

[00:07:10] To me, shenanigans is something like five-year-olds doing in the corner in kindergarten.

[00:07:21] I consider them crimes against our constitutional order when you cheat on that level, right?

[00:07:30] I coordinated widespread Dinesh Sousa, 2,000 mules, ballot stuff and drop points, ballot custody, packing it with suitcases.

[00:07:40] None of that was possible apparently last night.

[00:07:43] And on Saturday, I spoke about the question, has Trump thoroughly gained control of the Republican establishment?

[00:07:53] Is Trump the Republican establishment?

[00:07:56] I'm talking about the networks, the lobbyists and lawyers and activists who could be bothered to go to the polls and keep an eye on what the hell was happening.

[00:08:07] And I think that's how Harris comes in at 16 million less votes than Biden.

[00:08:14] I saw unsustantiated claims four years ago of the sheer amount of ballots by mail that Biden received a vote.

[00:08:28] Biden-Harris ticket got a vote, but no other candidates were marked off on those ballots.

[00:08:36] And I was thinking about that again last night, and I'm kind of wondering if that was a strategy, if that was on purpose.

[00:08:45] Because if no other candidates were on the ballot in 2020 in a particular state, no House or Senate or – I'm not on it, but not marked off on a ballot,

[00:08:59] then those candidates wouldn't have standing to challenge the ballots.

[00:09:05] And I think that's how they did it.

[00:09:08] They stuffed the ballot boxes with mail-in votes and tagged them, voted just for Biden-Harris, so they could not be challenged.

[00:09:16] And they're probably all destroyed now.

[00:09:18] But there are witnesses to this.

[00:09:20] There are people that can be turned.

[00:09:22] It's just like working away through a crime network.

[00:09:26] You start at the bottom, and you get them flipping to the top.

[00:09:30] The next DOJ under Trump has every opportunity to do this.

[00:09:35] Something has to be explained why there's 16 million less Democrat voters this year.

[00:09:41] Better?

[00:09:42] I mean, this has got to be priority number one or 1A.

[00:09:47] I think Trump's very motivated to do this, so that's good.

[00:09:52] I'm going to be holding him to account on a lot of other things he's said over the last several months.

[00:09:57] I'm probably going to be his biggest critic here on PBN.

[00:10:00] But I'm damn glad he got in.

[00:10:03] And if only for self-preservation of the MAGA movement and his legacy, he better get down to business

[00:10:11] and at least put a couple people in jail.

[00:10:13] I mean, damn, there really probably should be hundreds, but at least a couple of the leaders of the leaders who are caught red-handed better happen.

[00:10:23] If it doesn't, it would be shameful.

[00:10:27] Whoever's the next attorney general is going to make all the difference, right?

[00:10:32] His first attorney general out of a senator out of Alabama who immediately recused himself of everything to do with the Russian hoax,

[00:10:44] leaving Trump powerless to stop it in his own department.

[00:10:48] I think if that lesson was learned, Trump's going to have two years before the next midterm

[00:10:55] to do some real rollback of what we've endured for four years.

[00:11:02] Well, he's definitely a lot more hardcore, which is what I like to see.

[00:11:07] Definitely my opinion's grown quite a lot over the last, what?

[00:11:13] When did he first come?

[00:11:15] I mean, of course, everyone loved Trump on The Apprentice.

[00:11:18] I mean, more like 2016, I didn't really take him too seriously.

[00:11:22] And then obviously he won.

[00:11:23] I'm like, all right, let's see what he actually does.

[00:11:27] He did all right.

[00:11:28] Obviously, he had a lot of obstructionists in his first administration,

[00:11:30] so he better have learned a lesson to have the right people in there.

[00:11:35] And I feel like he is starting to surround himself with a lot of people,

[00:11:38] whether it's RFK, Tulsi Gabbard, Ron and Rand Paul, definitely allies now at this point.

[00:11:46] Elon Musk, lots of others.

[00:11:50] Hopefully he's rooted out turncoats or people that would be obstructionists, right?

[00:11:56] That's the goal.

[00:11:59] So easy for people in the White House to leak.

[00:12:02] He had a hard time finding anybody that wouldn't be absolutely pitted against each other.

[00:12:07] But if you ever watch The Apprentice show, I got to be honest, I didn't really like it

[00:12:13] because it was just a group of celebrities, you know, given a task in business supposedly.

[00:12:20] And then they're all just at each other and backbiting each other.

[00:12:25] And he was, you know, part of that, like fostering it and getting it going on.

[00:12:29] And I watched that first White House where it looked like that Apprentice show.

[00:12:35] He'd always be bringing in new talent, listening to new people, giving new people a shot,

[00:12:40] but had no fucking control on how they, you know, went, you know, disloyally against each other,

[00:12:46] left and right and left and right.

[00:12:48] If he doesn't, if he hasn't learned that lesson, maybe he never will.

[00:12:53] And it'll hamper this, his effectiveness, you know, but he's learned a lot.

[00:12:59] Right.

[00:13:00] Getting shot at probably, you know, helped with the focus on that point.

[00:13:05] Yeah.

[00:13:06] There were many steps between getting shot at and, and, and let's just say the Apprentice years,

[00:13:14] but getting shot at was probably as big a leap as all the other steps combined before over the last,

[00:13:20] you know, decade or whatnot.

[00:13:22] So you can see that in his demeanor and what he was saying more hardcore, but more focused.

[00:13:27] I think not just saying build the wall.

[00:13:30] We're going to make Mexico pay for it.

[00:13:32] He had a couple throwaway lines like that, but that's the charm of Trump.

[00:13:36] But he actually, I hope has some solid plans and solid people to put in place.

[00:13:43] So come January, you know, January 20th, January 21st, better get to work.

[00:13:49] Says he will.

[00:13:52] We'll be here at Patriot power hour reporting each and every week.

[00:13:56] I'll tell you that.

[00:13:58] Yeah.

[00:13:58] And globalist new world order is not done, right?

[00:14:02] They're defeated last night, but they're not done.

[00:14:04] And so there's gonna be a lot of dangers from many angles abroad and festering up at home.

[00:14:11] Right.

[00:14:11] I, I would expect to see anti-fav riding over something next summer.

[00:14:19] I'm making that call.

[00:14:20] They're, they're going to be, there's going to be violence in the streets this year after he takes power.

[00:14:25] So tonight we're not even going to do a news blitz, are we?

[00:14:28] We're just going to go through this.

[00:14:32] The, uh, I can, I can give you, I can give the listeners just a basic rundown.

[00:14:36] There's some natural headline, natural column headlines, you know, typical stuff we talk about

[00:14:42] and relatively low level and it's abroad.

[00:14:45] Right.

[00:14:45] But there are fatal natural disasters ongoing.

[00:14:48] There always are.

[00:14:50] Um, but otherwise in the middle East,

[00:14:54] it's silence in Ukraine, it's silence.

[00:14:58] It's just the entire world's just basically stopped to watch this election.

[00:15:03] At least it seems that way.

[00:15:05] It could also be a function of all the reporting resources in the world are absolutely directed

[00:15:11] and focused to elections.

[00:15:14] So there's, there's probably a lot of stuff going on that the headlines will be coming back

[00:15:18] at us in a week or so.

[00:15:20] They're just, they're not here tonight.

[00:15:22] It's, and then there was also a decent set of indicators of potential stolen election.

[00:15:30] And it's clear now that it was not widespread and the glitches in machines and the signature

[00:15:40] validate validation software.

[00:15:42] Those were indicators of a potential stolen election.

[00:15:46] I have not heard anyone assert that yesterday was stolen by either party in any credible way.

[00:15:54] No, not even, no one was even mentioning that as a possibility on the MSNBCs of the world.

[00:16:01] So I stayed up till three in the morning or a little later.

[00:16:05] I know you did as well.

[00:16:06] But I will say today, I did not spend hardly any time reading news or on Twitter and all

[00:16:14] that.

[00:16:14] I did a lot yesterday.

[00:16:15] Trust me.

[00:16:16] But, uh, you know, long story short, no one that I saw was even pushing a narrative that

[00:16:23] the Republicans stole this.

[00:16:25] One of the telling, you know, we're not going to go down every single clip or talk about all,

[00:16:32] uh, all the memes and meltdowns, but something that was telling, and you might've seen the

[00:16:38] clip.

[00:16:39] Uh, I saw it live last night when they were asking, you know, they were on the, on the big

[00:16:43] board.

[00:16:44] Someone asked, Hey, did, uh, did Harris take any County over and above Biden in 2020?

[00:16:54] Did, did she outperform Biden anywhere?

[00:16:57] I think it was by 3% anywhere.

[00:16:59] That was zero counties.

[00:17:03] Yeah, that was C that was CNN.

[00:17:06] That was John King on the magic board.

[00:17:08] And I'm going to give that guy credit.

[00:17:10] He worked that board and got that whether or not you believe that that is accurate, but

[00:17:15] this year, everybody's believing that the vote totals are accurate, you know, relative

[00:17:19] within a reasonable margin of error, one or one or less percent.

[00:17:23] Right.

[00:17:24] John King did a great job and he revealed that he's the poor guy on CNN.

[00:17:29] It had to basically break the news slowly.

[00:17:32] They did it as slowly as they could.

[00:17:34] But the scene that you're talking about is Jack Tapper standing next to John King asking

[00:17:40] and it wasn't counties that Harris flipped.

[00:17:45] It was just counties that Harris did up to 3% better than Biden.

[00:17:51] Zero.

[00:17:52] None.

[00:17:52] Didn't happen anywhere in the country.

[00:17:54] Not a single voting district county or township in the East.

[00:17:59] Did she improve about by greater than 3%.

[00:18:03] So I did watch more CNN and MSNBC this afternoon before the show.

[00:18:10] Okay.

[00:18:10] And it's literally like the only day in the last probably 12 to 16 years where I've watched

[00:18:19] CNN two days in a row.

[00:18:22] I'm missing a lot of good stuff, aren't I?

[00:18:24] I'll have to go check the compilations this weekend.

[00:18:27] Watching Democrats reconcile themselves to reality is vital.

[00:18:33] Vital.

[00:18:34] Watching them birth new lies and lies they're going to tell themselves repeatedly is fascinating

[00:18:43] to me.

[00:18:43] And I'm also watching for context on that.

[00:18:47] That ends up coming out in their policies later and it could be dangerous.

[00:18:51] But tonight, John King was being interviewed or standing at the board and Cooper Anderson

[00:18:59] was asking about this exact same issue.

[00:19:02] And King went to use his magic board and the feature that was revealed live on air last night.

[00:19:10] Harris did not outperform Biden by 3% anywhere.

[00:19:15] It was disabled.

[00:19:17] It was like almost super.

[00:19:19] And they was going to run through this and they, and kind of debunk it or just have a final

[00:19:25] say on it.

[00:19:26] And, and, and, and, and, and actually they tuned it.

[00:19:29] So now any County where she outperformed it by any margin, like less than 3% scaled it

[00:19:35] showed up on the board and it was still a small amount.

[00:19:40] Meager.

[00:19:42] Meager.

[00:19:42] Show the inverse.

[00:19:44] The ones that went down 0.1% or less, right?

[00:19:48] You know, negative 0.1% or lower.

[00:19:50] I bet that would be the majority of counties.

[00:19:52] Cause she totally underperformed.

[00:19:54] Oh, King King did that.

[00:19:56] But that's, that's Trump outperforming from four years ago.

[00:20:00] So, and, and, and that, that map boards lit up nationwide.

[00:20:06] So yeah.

[00:20:08] And with a popular vote vote, you know, winner, you know, and John King's where she's calling

[00:20:13] it a trophy, but you know, Trump, Trump team is calling it a mandate.

[00:20:18] And so long as a large amount of close house races return, a Johnson led Republican majority

[00:20:28] in the house, the, the GOP has all three branches or all three parts of the popularly

[00:20:36] elected branches of government, you know, for two years.

[00:20:42] And the, and the Democrats are scared.

[00:20:43] That's what they were really worried about.

[00:20:45] The judges.

[00:20:46] That's what I caught on.

[00:20:47] They were really concerned about that.

[00:20:50] Just being able to get a lot of, you know, maybe a couple of Supreme court judges replaced

[00:20:55] and all the confirmations for the lower courts.

[00:20:59] So he's going to get me.

[00:21:02] Yeah.

[00:21:03] Yeah.

[00:21:03] Alito will retire.

[00:21:05] And, um, Thomas will retire and Trump's going to replace him.

[00:21:10] They're smart enough to know that, you know, you can't, you can't just last there like

[00:21:14] Ginsburg to your death.

[00:21:16] If you want the legacy of your jurisprudence to survive, you got, you're going to have to

[00:21:20] pass the torch.

[00:21:21] So he's that, that, that court majority is really going to lock in when that happens,

[00:21:26] but it's all the judgeships lower than that.

[00:21:29] And Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC is the first word out of his mouth.

[00:21:33] When that network shortly after CNN basically capitulated and started, you know, admitting

[00:21:40] defeat without saying it and their, and their board didn't say it, but they started just having

[00:21:45] to admit it out loud.

[00:21:47] And that I do watch that.

[00:21:50] A few times they're saying, well, the mail-in votes and the absentee votes may still come

[00:21:56] in just in time.

[00:21:58] Like they literally were saying that.

[00:22:00] And of course it wasn't enough, but they knew that there's a plan B and a plan C, but

[00:22:07] too big to rig looks like to me.

[00:22:11] Well, the backbreaker was, uh, on one of those networks, uh, in Georgia where someone that

[00:22:19] CNN was talking to, uh, in state government said there's a hundred thousand outstanding

[00:22:24] votes and Trump was already up by 118,000.

[00:22:28] And it was John King's turn to just say, well, Trump, uh, Harris isn't going to win all

[00:22:33] a hundred thousand, but even if she did, she's still losing Georgia.

[00:22:36] And it kind of folded in their minds from that point.

[00:22:40] Yeah.

[00:22:41] That's a, that's a death blow.

[00:22:44] So now we don't have much structure to this show.

[00:22:47] I have a lot of questions, a lot of routes to go.

[00:22:49] I guess what I'm going to pick right now is I forgot who it was.

[00:22:55] It might've been, it's probably on MSNBC, but I think both MSNBC and CNN that I was watching

[00:23:03] both of those getting, getting the diverse networks, both of them and multiple guests

[00:23:10] on both of them, both of those networks were talking about the loss of the reserve currency

[00:23:17] for the U S dollar.

[00:23:19] And they even pointed to the 30 year bond market.

[00:23:22] They pointed to all of this and, and how Trump's going to have overspending lead us to bankruptcy

[00:23:28] and the reserve currency is going to be lost and all this.

[00:23:32] And I'm like, first off, you're possibly right.

[00:23:35] Cause there is an economic time bomb.

[00:23:37] So that's one of Trump's major issues.

[00:23:40] He's going to have to deal with, but they just came straight out and said, yeah, we know.

[00:23:46] I mean, the way I interpreted it is that they know the reserve currency is going to blow

[00:23:50] apart.

[00:23:50] Might as well happen on Trump's watch.

[00:23:54] If Trump could actually fix that, not just survive that time bomb, does he go down your books

[00:24:02] as the greatest president in your lifetime?

[00:24:05] Yeah.

[00:24:06] He already is in my lifetime already.

[00:24:08] I mean, I guess you could say Reagan.

[00:24:10] Cause he was, I was born for a few years while Reagan wasn't there.

[00:24:13] I was only a little baby though, but yeah.

[00:24:16] Trump already is top five.

[00:24:20] Maybe at least, you know, I put Washington above.

[00:24:24] I don't know.

[00:24:25] Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt.

[00:24:29] Like there's all right.

[00:24:30] There's several that I might put above him or equal, but he's a top 10 already.

[00:24:34] Don't you think?

[00:24:34] What?

[00:24:34] You think Reagan is above Trump?

[00:24:37] It has to be.

[00:24:38] You have to make the call that way.

[00:24:41] I guess because he took out the Soviet union.

[00:24:43] If you give him that, that's took out the Soviet union, man.

[00:24:46] That was a long burn, but he did finish him off nicely.

[00:24:51] Oh, they were stout when he got into office.

[00:24:54] They were riding high after Carter.

[00:24:57] Eight years later, they were pretty much done.

[00:24:59] That's still big accomplishment, but also arriving in DC in the early eighties and tearing down

[00:25:06] the regulatory state that existed since the new deal, since Roosevelt.

[00:25:12] He got a lot of laws, a lot of reform, you know, and the economy boom.

[00:25:19] So, you know, Reagan's up there too.

[00:25:22] Trump has every opportunity to match him, but Trump's first term did not match that.

[00:25:30] Bringing the part, what Trump's, just his election by a popular vote majority sort of like undoes

[00:25:40] the Soviet Union features of the Democrat Party, at least for tonight, right?

[00:25:46] They're going to regroup.

[00:25:48] They're not going to stop.

[00:25:49] They're not morally bankrupt and defeated like you might be optimistically hoping tonight.

[00:25:56] They're not, right?

[00:25:57] Even CNN and MSNBC today, they were just running guest after guest after guest.

[00:26:03] That was just, you know, just trash talking Trump and carrying on like usual, right?

[00:26:08] So Trump has an opportunity, uh, getting a peace agreement in the Middle East, ending the

[00:26:15] Ukraine war, maybe even doing something that changes the status in Korea where not just the

[00:26:23] absolute war footing.

[00:26:25] If he knocks some of that out the next four years, he's right up there with Reagan.

[00:26:29] Yeah.

[00:26:30] There you go.

[00:26:31] Fair enough.

[00:26:31] I, maybe this is an age thing cause I didn't live through the cold war, but I feel, and I

[00:26:39] can explain why I feel this way.

[00:26:42] The threats Trump's up against is a wider, broader, deeper, and stronger than the Soviet

[00:26:50] Union because China is as strong or stronger than the Soviets ever were.

[00:26:57] Then you have the entire financial cabal.

[00:27:02] Reagan didn't have to fight that much against the banksters.

[00:27:04] Whereas, you know, the whole, that's going to be the big, one of the biggest fights I

[00:27:08] think for Trump.

[00:27:10] So, okay.

[00:27:11] I agree.

[00:27:12] He hasn't accomplished as much, but he's on a path.

[00:27:15] I, I, I guess I'm projecting that he gets a lot done in the next four years that he would

[00:27:19] be at least equal to Reagan.

[00:27:21] But if that all falls apart or something, you know, black swans and or assassination,

[00:27:26] whatever, that could be different.

[00:27:27] But JD Vance, I'm a fan of him too.

[00:27:29] So I've said, keep them far away from each other as often as possible.

[00:27:33] Sorry to say, but it's reality.

[00:27:37] I, I, in a baseball metaphor, I say Trump's at the plate and he's got bases loaded and he

[00:27:42] needs to get a, you know, a double or a home run.

[00:27:46] Two outs.

[00:27:47] If he does that, you know, if he knocks it out of the park in some of the dimensions

[00:27:52] you're talking about.

[00:27:53] Yeah.

[00:27:53] Then he, he, he goes above Reagan for presidents in both of our lifetimes.

[00:27:58] No matter the fact that you were little at the time.

[00:28:02] And, and this, this is also, you know, we'll talk about lifespans.

[00:28:07] You know, I'm generation X, you're, you're, you're millennial.

[00:28:11] We are multi-generational commenters on this partnership on Patriot Power Hour bringing,

[00:28:17] you know, two different perspectives.

[00:28:19] And I think it's good because I learned a lot from your perspective.

[00:28:23] Hopefully you do.

[00:28:24] I, Oh yeah.

[00:28:25] One of your perspectives historically is a trend since I, I met you and started broadcasting

[00:28:31] with you.

[00:28:32] When I met you, you were firmly, firmly in the, and, and, and perhaps not even that long

[00:28:39] ago, certainly during the duration of majority of our Patriot Power Hour episodes in this

[00:28:47] perspective, held the point of view that Washington DC was dominated by a unit party, that there

[00:28:53] was no difference in parties and that voting didn't matter because they're, you know, they're

[00:29:01] beholden to the banksters either way.

[00:29:04] I've got to believe in hindsight that that entire point of view was fostered by essentially Democrats,

[00:29:13] that they preferred to have a certain segment of the population, libertarians sitting on the

[00:29:21] sidelines, not voting against them.

[00:29:24] But when things get bad enough, you know, they'll, they'll, they'll always be an electoral reaction.

[00:29:30] I, I never wavered from the point of view that, you know, elections do matter.

[00:29:36] So I don't think it would have mattered if it was a Gore Bush in 2000, for example, I personally

[00:29:43] don't think it would have mattered.

[00:29:44] And for most of the elections in my life, I don't think it would have mattered either who

[00:29:48] won, but yeah, Trump definitely changed that.

[00:29:52] And I think it's just, this is way more extreme.

[00:29:56] This is the end of the Republic level.

[00:29:58] I feel like we're at that level.

[00:30:00] So with that, plus Trump has impressed me a ton, way more than anybody except for like

[00:30:06] Ron Paul.

[00:30:07] So Ron Paul or Trump, only guys I voted for except for, you know, voted for congressmen and whatnot

[00:30:14] on the same ballot, but long story short, I sure as shit would not vote for Romney.

[00:30:20] I'd say Romney's might as well be Obama in my book.

[00:30:23] Maybe that's a little whitewashing, but that's how I definitely felt in like, let's say 2012

[00:30:30] or whatever.

[00:30:31] Right.

[00:30:32] So that's evolved for sure.

[00:30:33] I think it felt like, I think it felt like there's a uni party.

[00:30:38] I think, I think the moderate Republicans behaved in a way that lended to that impression, but

[00:30:45] fundamentally in the system, there's nothing that requires a Democrat party or Republican

[00:30:52] party to even exist.

[00:30:54] Right.

[00:30:54] Those are private entities.

[00:30:55] They're not enshrined by law.

[00:30:57] So when, when things get bad enough, you know, the, the, the truth of the matter comes through

[00:31:05] that elections matter, that 50 separate 51 state state and DC district of Columbia elections

[00:31:12] that amount to the electoral college.

[00:31:14] I mean, that, that is the source of power in this country and it functioned.

[00:31:21] It did.

[00:31:22] And if it did not, we would probably do a whole show on what would happen if we thought,

[00:31:29] Harris had won, but I don't even want to go down that road right now.

[00:31:36] Who?

[00:31:37] If Harris had won, what would have happened?

[00:31:40] For example, then I think the unit party would have gone on, you know, I don't know the way

[00:31:46] I look at it.

[00:31:49] This is the last election.

[00:31:51] Harris who?

[00:31:52] Harris who?

[00:31:53] Oh yeah.

[00:31:53] That is your little joke.

[00:31:54] That's true.

[00:31:55] Like she's barely a footnote in history at this point now.

[00:31:59] Um, never heard of her.

[00:32:01] Can't believe you're coming up with a good nickname for her, but yeah.

[00:32:08] Um, I think what happened is he called her comrade.

[00:32:13] There's a throwback to the cold war comrade.

[00:32:16] You know, throwing out comrade, comrade Kamala Harris for my generation and older that,

[00:32:23] that was straight up cold world war speak, right?

[00:32:26] McCarthy type stuff that that mattered to people old enough to have lived through the

[00:32:32] cold war.

[00:32:34] And it applied quite nicely to her.

[00:32:38] Um, I think what happened for the unit party, I think it pretty much was one as long as the

[00:32:46] Republican side bet the knee to the Democrat side.

[00:32:51] But at some point the Democrats started, uh, persecuting and purging and forcing the issue.

[00:32:58] And that pissed a lot of people off.

[00:33:01] I guess you could probably say the tea party might be the, maybe not the start of that,

[00:33:05] but that was big in 2008.

[00:33:07] And then 2010, 2012, that was people that were being seen as the garbage and being seen as

[00:33:14] the, the kooks or being seen as the, the Nazi.

[00:33:18] Right.

[00:33:18] And then that small group grew into MAGA.

[00:33:24] Oh, and then over, over a decade, the entire Republican party became, you know, the deplorables

[00:33:31] and wore that badge of honor.

[00:33:33] So I think it just backfired on the Democrats.

[00:33:36] They wanted to totally crush any dissent and cement their unit party.

[00:33:41] And that just blew up and pretty much thank Trump for that.

[00:33:47] When doesn't tyranny and evil backfire?

[00:33:50] Eventually.

[00:33:51] Well, the problem is now they got like nukes and they got bioweapons and we're on just

[00:33:57] in time to supply lines.

[00:33:58] That's why I'm a prepper.

[00:33:59] So I agree.

[00:34:01] Tyranny does get beat in the cycle over time.

[00:34:04] You, you know, but it's just a whole nother level where, you know, the whole world could

[00:34:10] be blown apart or 90% of us killed.

[00:34:13] Seems like it's way too easy for that to happen in a collapse.

[00:34:16] So that's what I've always been worried about is if they tyranny does lose, they're just

[00:34:20] going to hit the kill button and just blow it up, blow it apart.

[00:34:23] And we ain't out of that yet.

[00:34:25] It's still going to happen.

[00:34:29] Yeah.

[00:34:29] I think if, if you're willing to step back and say, all right, this might take longer

[00:34:34] than my lifetime, then you can draw inspiration from that.

[00:34:40] But we do have to protect our own lifetimes.

[00:34:44] Right.

[00:34:44] So.

[00:34:44] True.

[00:34:45] Oh yeah.

[00:34:46] It can't be only long, long term at the limit.

[00:34:49] You got to have some short term considerations, whether that's every breath you take to.

[00:34:54] Yeah.

[00:34:55] Eating and defending against tyranny today, not just 20 years from now, for sure.

[00:35:02] What else did you notice last night that anything else surprise you?

[00:35:14] Ah, they were at Howard university waiting for Kamala to speak.

[00:35:18] Like, obviously she did it.

[00:35:20] I thought that was just perfect example, how she's not fit to lead.

[00:35:24] Couldn't even come out there and give a five minute speech.

[00:35:28] And you know, the guy that came out, I forgot who it was.

[00:35:31] I came out there.

[00:35:33] Can't try to, you can just tell chair he came out trying to strut and seems so confident.

[00:35:38] And then it was just, it was just a short in fraud or whatnot, I guess for me on that one,

[00:35:45] but it was just pathetic.

[00:35:46] She couldn't even come out and talk like, come on, man.

[00:35:48] That's pathetic.

[00:35:52] So a defining feature to me of the Democrats is they don't learn from their mistakes in,

[00:35:58] in, in recent years at all, not at all.

[00:36:04] And that's probably led to last night's outcome.

[00:36:07] That's our only hope is they actually mostly incompetent when it actually comes down to,

[00:36:12] you know, brass tacks.

[00:36:14] They're half incompetent.

[00:36:16] So that's our only hope.

[00:36:17] If they actually were competent, we would be in trouble.

[00:36:18] Well, on that note, at the rally that was meant to be Harris's victory speech platform,

[00:36:28] but then she just did nothing and sent a guy out there and said she's not addressing the crowd tonight,

[00:36:34] just failed to appear.

[00:36:38] The people that organized that were wise.

[00:36:43] People, they, they, they, they, they, they, they smartened up a little bit because the 2016 video of crowds of Hillary supporters just bawling their eyes out was just meme fuel.

[00:36:58] Right.

[00:36:58] Just absolute meme fuel.

[00:37:00] They, they, they, it seems like someone was smart enough to be like, let's just get the crowd out of here.

[00:37:05] Don't don't let that happen again.

[00:37:07] And it matters, right?

[00:37:09] Memes are very influential these days.

[00:37:13] You and I were texting in the back channels and I said that all the networks just go to infomercials, prescription infomercials.

[00:37:23] You said like a meme prevent defense.

[00:37:25] I was like, yes, exactly.

[00:37:32] Yeah.

[00:37:32] They just cut away the infomercials and just stopped addressing it entirely.

[00:37:37] Yeah.

[00:37:38] We'll be back in a week.

[00:37:41] In fact, in MSNBC, they had no choice.

[00:37:44] They just aired all of Trump's victory speech.

[00:37:48] I thought they'd cut away about 20 minutes into it.

[00:37:51] I went to bed, but they, they were, they stayed with it.

[00:37:55] They basically had no choice at that point.

[00:37:59] Yep.

[00:37:59] It was a pretty good speech.

[00:38:00] You could tell, uh, even though Trump looks pretty damn good for like how tired he must

[00:38:06] be.

[00:38:07] The dude has super energy, but it was, you know, two in the morning, Eastern time and pretty

[00:38:12] good speech overall.

[00:38:13] Not his best speech of all time, but again, he's been running ragged.

[00:38:17] So it was, it was a good time.

[00:38:18] Dana White was up there.

[00:38:19] It was a trip like Trump and UFC, my man, Dana White and Elon Musk and Joe Rogan.

[00:38:29] So, uh, but I went to the polls yesterday to vote.

[00:38:33] I was listening to, uh, Elon Musk on Joe Rogan, on Joe Rogan experience.

[00:38:37] That was good.

[00:38:38] I listened to Trump on Rogan as well.

[00:38:40] I haven't listened to the Vance on Rogan yet, but I should.

[00:38:45] Very influential.

[00:38:46] And the mainstream media, they, they know it now.

[00:38:49] So I think going forward on future danger, it's, it's pretty hard for any mainstream media

[00:38:55] to even qualify now in the news censorship indicator news blatantly censored because

[00:39:05] no one's listening to not enough people are listening to them anymore.

[00:39:09] And the Democrats are in an echo chamber where they get a massive, massive group think that

[00:39:15] had to meet reality last night.

[00:39:18] Yep.

[00:39:20] What kind of cognitive dissonance or excuses that are just, you know, kind of the, what

[00:39:28] is it?

[00:39:28] The kettle kettle calling the tea pot black.

[00:39:32] Is that it?

[00:39:34] What's something you heard that the Democrats were just saying Trump is evil of, but actually

[00:39:38] the Democrats have been doing that for the last four years or longer.

[00:39:41] Oh, jailing their opponents, bringing the DOJ against their political opponents, total Soviet

[00:39:50] tactic of blaming, you know, accusing your opponent of what you're exactly doing.

[00:39:55] I mean, that, that habit is deeply, deeply set in that side.

[00:40:01] If they do any retrospective, honest, out loud, you know, debate amongst themselves, that

[00:40:09] they always do it behind closed doors.

[00:40:12] You never see it out in the open.

[00:40:15] Well, they gotta be at each other's throats in the back right now.

[00:40:18] Like, I don't think they're just going to be, I'm talking about like the senior leadership.

[00:40:22] I don't think they're just gonna be sad and depressed.

[00:40:24] Like they gotta be so pissed at each other.

[00:40:27] That's probably freaking so much infighting right now and blame game, but also just desperate

[00:40:33] at this point.

[00:40:34] So always worried about a desperate animal, but a big win to say the least.

[00:40:39] Is this win bigger than 2016 or was just the shock at all of 2016 just can't be topped

[00:40:46] for Trump?

[00:40:48] That's bigger.

[00:40:49] He got the popular vote this time.

[00:40:50] He did not in 2016.

[00:40:53] That's true.

[00:40:54] Very great point.

[00:40:55] Very good point there.

[00:40:58] All right.

[00:40:58] No breaks tonight.

[00:40:59] We're just going to keep grinding.

[00:41:02] Probably got about another 20 minutes in.

[00:41:05] The one thing I want to note was Bitcoin all time high.

[00:41:09] As soon as it was known that, you know, 99.5% chance Trump was going to win on the betting

[00:41:17] markets and everyone knew it was, I'd say about one in the morning, maybe 1230 Eastern about

[00:41:23] that time.

[00:41:24] Bitcoin ripped to an all time high.

[00:41:27] Continued that today.

[00:41:28] Has pulled back a little bit, but let's take a look.

[00:41:32] Here it is.

[00:41:32] Here's the chart.

[00:41:33] So at exactly, I guess it was a little earlier than I thought.

[00:41:37] 10 p.m.

[00:41:38] Eastern last night, Bitcoin ripped from 71 grand to 75 grand.

[00:41:45] So that's $4,000 increase in Bitcoin in 15 minutes.

[00:41:52] And it went up to about 76,500.

[00:41:56] So another $1,500 today.

[00:41:58] Now, again, it's dropped a little bit here.

[00:42:01] Sell high, buy low.

[00:42:03] People want to get some profits as well.

[00:42:04] But I was pretty surprised by that.

[00:42:08] Trump's talked a big game about crypto and Bitcoin, but he's also years ago, at least, said that

[00:42:15] Bitcoin could never compete with the dollar and anything that threatens the federal, you

[00:42:19] know, the reserve currency of King dollar is a threat.

[00:42:22] Da, da, da, da, da.

[00:42:22] He said differently.

[00:42:24] He says there may even be a strategic reserve.

[00:42:26] You posted and sent me something on X.

[00:42:29] I forgot if it was a Congress.

[00:42:32] Someone from Congress.

[00:42:33] That never.

[00:42:34] Yeah.

[00:42:35] Okay.

[00:42:35] And so I, again, I'll believe what I see.

[00:42:39] I don't think they're going to make a 1 million Bitcoin strategic reserve.

[00:42:45] That's 5% of all Bitcoin that will ever be created under a U.S. strategic reserve.

[00:42:51] I would love that.

[00:42:53] I would love that.

[00:42:54] And also, Bitcoin would go up by a factor of at least 10 to where it is right now.

[00:42:59] So it's not too early if you think Trump's actually going to do that.

[00:43:01] I think it'll be a lot harder to do that.

[00:43:03] But, you know, they're saying he's a Bitcoin president.

[00:43:06] Meanwhile, gold was down more than 100 bucks today.

[00:43:10] Silver down a buck.

[00:43:12] So I guess that's kind of an indicator of threat.

[00:43:14] Kind of interesting, though, that Bitcoin spiked gold silver down a bit.

[00:43:22] So let me ask you this from a Bitcoin dollar relationship point of view.

[00:43:31] Let's just say that in the next 24 months while the Republicans have both houses in Congress, that Trump was able to pass a law that established a strategic reserve.

[00:43:44] Even if it was just the fact that the U.S. government won't auction or sell any Bitcoin that it seizes.

[00:43:52] Right.

[00:43:52] They have a lot.

[00:43:55] Yeah, and they hold that.

[00:43:57] Let alone the idea of they, you know, they actually treat it like a strategic petroleum reserve and, you know, buy.

[00:44:05] Buy Bitcoin.

[00:44:06] U.S. government buying Bitcoin.

[00:44:08] Let's even, you know, if that happened, you're right.

[00:44:10] Time 10 times 10, you know, increases.

[00:44:14] This is probably not even close to what it'll be, you know, if government bought Bitcoin.

[00:44:20] But they at least established that.

[00:44:22] Do you think at this point in Trump's mind he's looking at a way of basically denominating Bitcoin, most Bitcoin in dollars for a generation, for decades, by establishing, you know, a U.S. government presence or a holding?

[00:44:44] Or because Bitcoin, I think from your point of view, originally at least, was a hedge against the fiat collapsing.

[00:44:55] So the U.S. dollar backed by nothing since Nixon is fiat currency.

[00:45:01] But could Trump tie Bitcoin to the dollar, thus strengthening and reinforcing each other?

[00:45:12] I like where you went with maybe a compromise or more realistic, especially in the short term, is just not selling Bitcoin that U.S. owns.

[00:45:22] The U.S. already, gosh, I used to know the exact number, but the United States owns a fair amount of Bitcoin already, mostly seized from criminals.

[00:45:32] That's just public.

[00:45:34] Yeah.

[00:45:34] It's known.

[00:45:35] It's well-known.

[00:45:36] U.S. government, I think, is like a top 10 holder, known holder of Bitcoin.

[00:45:40] Think about the intelligence agency.

[00:45:43] Think about what the intelligence agencies have seized.

[00:45:46] That's just the public number.

[00:45:47] There's a classified number, too.

[00:45:49] All right.

[00:45:50] Fair enough.

[00:45:51] For certain.

[00:45:52] That definitely sets more of a floor on the price, and that floor might be higher than what the price is right now.

[00:46:00] I think the actual buying would be the difference, like how El Salvador buys a Bitcoin a day.

[00:46:07] Well, if the U.S. starts buying 100 Bitcoin a day, which it could easily do, even if it started spending 10% of its interest payments, we talked about how the interest payment on the debt is now higher than the defense budget.

[00:46:22] If they only spent 10% of that amount on Bitcoin yearly, I mean, that would be tens of thousands of Bitcoin a year.

[00:46:32] And, of course, the price of Bitcoin would skyrocket, so then they wouldn't be able to buy as many.

[00:46:37] Now, that's the game theory is El Salvador is all in.

[00:46:42] Bitcoin legal tender.

[00:46:43] You can pay your taxes.

[00:46:44] I mean, it's literally legal tender, so you must be able to use it as such.

[00:46:51] And as well as they kept their fiat currency, though.

[00:46:54] So if we go to that level, I don't see Trump declaring Bitcoin as legal tender, but if that happened...

[00:47:04] That would be a law.

[00:47:06] He can't declare that.

[00:47:08] Right, or had a movement to...

[00:47:10] So, I mean, without that...

[00:47:12] He could sign a bill.

[00:47:14] Exactly.

[00:47:14] Well, I don't mean I'm, like, decreeing this.

[00:47:17] I'm not a Democrat.

[00:47:18] I don't think the president could just decree shit.

[00:47:22] But, I mean, like, trying to force it as an issue, really lobby for whatever.

[00:47:28] When a president goes to Congress and tries really hard to make it happen, you know what I mean?

[00:47:33] Whatever the hell you call that.

[00:47:35] There might be laws that allow him to buy it.

[00:47:38] Treasury might have the power to buy assets without specific authorization from Congress, actually.

[00:47:47] You know what they should do?

[00:47:48] Go ahead.

[00:47:50] Well, for decades, Congress kind of, you know, abdicated its responsibility.

[00:47:56] And someone got the wise idea in the 40s and 50s, and it got worse after to just, you know,

[00:48:03] delegate to the federal agencies authorities to make administrative law, they call it.

[00:48:09] Right?

[00:48:10] And just, you know, give them boundaries and let the agencies set, you know, what they're going to do.

[00:48:16] I bet you a treasury might have the authority to buy it.

[00:48:20] But coming back to my point, Ben, is there a way to, instead of making it dollar versus Bitcoin, to make a dollar-Bitcoin relationship so entrenched that it actually fortifies the dollar in the long run?

[00:48:38] At this point, Bitcoin's so small that it's literally not even 1% the value of all the dollars in existence in terms of money supply and debt and all that.

[00:48:50] Well, what percent would it have to get to to build a permanent relationship between the two currencies and have a strengthening effect long-term to the dollar?

[00:49:04] That's good.

[00:49:05] I'd have to guess.

[00:49:07] What?

[00:49:09] 25% of GDP, at least?

[00:49:13] So that would be...

[00:49:15] So what percent of Bitcoin...

[00:49:17] What percent of the total Bitcoin blockchain?

[00:49:20] Would they have to own?

[00:49:23] Yeah, what would the strategic Bitcoin reserve have to be in percentage of total Bitcoin that'll ever be mined before you would recognize that, hey, this actually strengthens the dollar?

[00:49:37] It'd be the only currency on Earth and the most powerful currency on Earth.

[00:49:40] And it'd be, you know, that entrenched with Bitcoin.

[00:49:46] Okay.

[00:49:47] I get it.

[00:49:48] I was thinking of if Bitcoin is still at a low price.

[00:49:52] The U.S. government can own every Bitcoin if Bitcoin's only $75,000 and it won't do much.

[00:49:58] If they own 1% of Bitcoin and Bitcoin's $5 million of Bitcoin, then that's a different story.

[00:50:06] So there's multiple variables scaling there.

[00:50:09] But they can't...

[00:50:11] But the U.S. government couldn't own 100% of all Bitcoins in existence without driving the price.

[00:50:16] Exactly.

[00:50:17] To the point where it wouldn't be able to purchase 100% anyway.

[00:50:21] So that's like on an end of the scale that's an extremely impossible scenario.

[00:50:28] Hyperinflation, really.

[00:50:29] That'd be hyperinflation at that end of the curve, yeah.

[00:50:32] Of the dollar.

[00:50:33] On that curve, 5% of all Bitcoins in existence, would that benefit the dollar long term?

[00:50:40] I'm really focused not on what it does to Bitcoin.

[00:50:43] I guess...

[00:50:43] I'm really focused on...

[00:50:45] Does Trump have a strategy that, you know, would be absolutely unique in world history in terms of currencies, right?

[00:50:53] To link to a digital, private, you know, autonomous currency.

[00:51:02] And lock the dollar in for the next 100 years as the world's reserve currency.

[00:51:09] It would help.

[00:51:10] And the earlier he does it, the more it'll be effective.

[00:51:14] If you wait till the very end when Bitcoin is a million dollars of Bitcoin and then they start buying, that's too late.

[00:51:19] Like, how much of the total blockchain would the U.S. government have to own?

[00:51:26] 5% is a very big percentage.

[00:51:28] So if they actually accomplish that, they would be a big market mover and it would influence and somewhat back the fiat.

[00:51:36] But again, it wouldn't pay off the debt at all.

[00:51:40] I guess a question is, what would Wall Street, what would the international bond market think about this?

[00:51:45] That's, you know, would people be like, damn, the U.S. balance sheet's much stronger now, so we value the dollar more?

[00:51:52] Then there you go.

[00:51:54] If not, though, for whatever reason, that's a different problem.

[00:51:59] And think about the people who are not established within the Democrat Party that could become billionaires if the U.S. government headed in that direction.

[00:52:12] Well, yes.

[00:52:12] Think of the monetary – that is going to be the driver for headline after headline.

[00:52:18] If Trump goes anywhere near a strategic Bitcoin reserve, the arguments against it from the Democrats are all going to go about making it nearly impossible to enforce against international terrorist organizations, against international drug cartels.

[00:52:40] All the downsides to have – allowing such a currency to exist is – it could be used anonymously.

[00:52:48] But that's not what their real fear is going to be because I don't think any of us care or think that the Democrats really care about the amount of terrorism we suffer and the amount of damage that's done by drug cartels.

[00:53:05] It's their political power or the relative shift in political power that comes with money.

[00:53:14] And, again, that's how they think.

[00:53:16] They think it runs that way.

[00:53:18] Of course, Harris just spent X billions of dollars to lose this election.

[00:53:24] So ultimately it's not true, right?

[00:53:27] You know, money doesn't buy elections, and I think last night proved it.

[00:53:32] Trump did not spend anywhere near as much as she did.

[00:53:35] Sure.

[00:53:37] This will be studied for many centuries to come, I think, by all types of people.

[00:53:44] That's going to be the driver, though.

[00:53:46] The driver of their – the headlines, they're already getting ready to write them.

[00:53:52] If it gets anywhere near becoming a reality of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, it will be a full court deep state press to fear monger it

[00:54:02] and make middle-of-the-road Republicans vote against it or prevent it because they're scared to death of the power of the money shifting away from them.

[00:54:14] They got Soros and that kind of money in their back pocket, and that's the one thing they fear is having to be outspent in the future.

[00:54:24] Definitely glad you brought this up because it triggered a memory of last night.

[00:54:29] I don't even care what her freaking name is, but one of the MSNBC hosts.

[00:54:34] It wasn't Saki, the freaking press secretary.

[00:54:38] It was one of the others.

[00:54:39] But she mentioned – I forgot if it was a senator or – it was probably a senator.

[00:54:45] Heavily backed by crypto, he made his fortune in crypto, and she said,

[00:54:49] Look, these crypto people aren't just donating and supporting candidates.

[00:54:56] They're becoming the candidates, and America's going to become an oligarchy like we started as.

[00:55:03] I guess he's trying to refer to the founding fathers slave owners.

[00:55:06] It was Joy, whatever her name is, the race baiter.

[00:55:11] So, anyway, they are absolutely – we're already talking about how crypto is going to destroy democracy.

[00:55:18] And, yeah, if you see lots of crypto millionaires and billionaires coming about,

[00:55:25] ooh, man, they're going to cry foul in a lot of ways.

[00:55:28] But I think that'll be harder to stop than the vote, I think.

[00:55:33] We'll see.

[00:55:35] Watch who's the next treasury secretary.

[00:55:38] If that person is pro-Bitcoin, I'm betting right now there are laws that allow Trump to start a strategic Bitcoin reserve,

[00:55:48] maybe not in name, but purchases by the U.S. government.

[00:55:52] I mean, we all know that the intelligence agencies could purchase clandestinely on orders from the president,

[00:55:58] and they would classify it, and only the intelligence committees in the houses would get to know that.

[00:56:06] But coming it right out the open so that it really drives up the price, that could be happening next year.

[00:56:13] We could have big, big conversation about this.

[00:56:16] But I'm kind of thinking it's always going to be on the sideline of Patriot Power Hour after we talk about threat indicators,

[00:56:24] because I'm not entirely convinced that the U.S. government getting a decent stake of Bitcoin isn't going to be beneficial to the dollar long term.

[00:56:35] I got a gut feeling that someone might have talked to Trump and convinced him.

[00:56:40] If you want king dollar all the way through the lives of our great-grandchildren, co-opt crypto.

[00:56:50] Don't pretend like it doesn't exist.

[00:56:53] Oh, you definitely can't pretend it doesn't exist.

[00:56:56] I am concerned about this because he's launched a couple of his own coins in the past,

[00:57:04] and he did have a speech where he said central bank digital currencies, CBDCs, he's totally against, which is good.

[00:57:11] But I don't want him to try to come up with some, for lack of a better term, fiat crypto that totally misses the mark.

[00:57:22] Because I'm a Bitcoin maximalist.

[00:57:23] I only believe in Bitcoin.

[00:57:25] So if he's been saying good things about Bitcoin, and he also said he's anti-CBDC.

[00:57:30] So that makes me hopeful.

[00:57:33] But if he tries to come up with some other blockchain and says it's as strong or just as strong as Bitcoin, but it's a new one,

[00:57:45] nah, that ain't going to work, so I'll be calling foul on that.

[00:57:48] Here's one thing they could do, even if they don't buy the Bitcoin, how about accept payments?

[00:57:55] Penalties, fines, taxes, accepted in Bitcoin potentially?

[00:58:00] You know, tariffs?

[00:58:02] Force China to pay Bitcoin?

[00:58:04] Now that would be awesome.

[00:58:08] There's sort of a dialectic going on.

[00:58:11] So, you know, the thesis is, you know, fiat.

[00:58:15] At least since the early 70s, fiat is the way to have a reserve currency.

[00:58:20] And the antithesis of that was Bitcoin, right?

[00:58:26] The ultimate secure anti-fiat means to transact wealth privately.

[00:58:34] The synthesis, Ben, would be that the fiat, the government issues the fiat, spends that fiat on a significant stake in the antithesis to the fiat, thus a synthesis, and the dollar has a long-term benefit.

[00:58:55] We're going to be talking about this for a while because now I'm going to try to probe on this issue and think about it.

[00:59:02] Maybe it is dangerous.

[00:59:03] Maybe it won't work.

[00:59:04] Maybe it would ultimately cause the dollar to fall in value and, you know, worst-case scenario, stop being accepted, right?

[00:59:15] And the petrodollar absolutely perishing.

[00:59:19] I feel like that's almost nothing to lose at this point because it's pretty likely that's going to happen.

[00:59:25] I don't know if that's true.

[00:59:27] There's nothing better out there.

[00:59:29] We'll see.

[00:59:30] There's nothing better out there.

[00:59:31] There's nothing less manipulated.

[00:59:34] For the first superpower to, you know, basically co-opt the Bitcoin blockchain by purchasing, you know, a very big chunk of it, a relatively big chunk of it, we're going to have to study that.

[00:59:48] Is it a threat to the dollar or could it actually reinforce the dollar for generations?

[00:59:54] Well, if they do that, but they continue to have massive deficit spending, not even coming close to fixing entitlements, all that, then it won't matter.

[01:00:04] But if they do that in conjunction and maybe strengthen our gold and oil reserve in of itself, why not?

[01:00:10] Yeah, I'm all about it.

[01:00:12] I don't think they're going to be able to cut $2 trillion in spending with the government efficiency office.

[01:00:18] But they really need to look at cutting spending, cutting out departments even.

[01:00:24] So that's got to happen.

[01:00:26] Bitcoin is maybe part of the solution.

[01:00:28] I'm all about it, but not if they just keep printing fiat currency.

[01:00:33] It doesn't matter how much.

[01:00:34] It's going to be pretty damn hard to keep that fiat currency going, even with a Bitcoin supply is what I'm saying.

[01:00:41] Yeah, it's important to remember.

[01:00:43] There's a lot of new members of Congress that have to look out for themselves in their re-election two or four or six years ago or from now, I should say.

[01:00:55] They've got to get re-elected.

[01:00:57] So there's limits to what kind of cuts, what kind of austerity could be imposed on the federal government.

[01:01:03] And so spending cuts, I'm not sure that's necessarily happening.

[01:01:12] But from Trump's perspective, he'd just say, we're going to grow out of this, right?

[01:01:18] Going to run that GDP real hot, which is dangerous too.

[01:01:22] He ran that GDP at 5% or 6% for multiple quarters going into 2028.

[01:01:30] Perfect opportunity for banks to be all lined up, to simultaneously collapse right at the end of his presidency, just like it did for George W. Bush.

[01:01:41] And look what happened.

[01:01:42] Look who came in right afterwards.

[01:01:46] That could be part of the plan, Ben.

[01:01:49] Hey, there's a lot of stuff out there we're going to be following.

[01:01:52] And by the way, we've been archiving and using some software to help us archive and data mine prior shows.

[01:02:01] So you never know what we said could be prescient.

[01:02:06] Maybe not.

[01:02:07] We'll find out.

[01:02:08] But we're doing our best out here.

[01:02:11] And I think this has been a great show so far.

[01:02:14] Future Dan about to get out of here.

[01:02:16] Anything else you wanted to touch on or memorialize before the end of the show?

[01:02:22] Yeah, I'm making the call.

[01:02:26] Early 2028, banks simultaneously collapsing with the objective of putting Trump down in history as the second Herbert Hoover.

[01:02:39] They're going to try to Hoover Trump.

[01:02:42] And I'm just hoping tonight he's wise enough to make sure that doesn't happen to him.

[01:02:48] Because the people that lost last night, believe me, this is not the end of this.

[01:02:54] They're not going to gracefully accept four more years of Trump and let him head off into the sunset as an all-time great America president.

[01:03:05] I cannot believe that that's going to go unchallenged.

[01:03:08] And the they, the big mysterious, the they that we often criticize ourselves for, for using.

[01:03:17] But whoever they are in the moneyed elite powered centers, as you like to call them, the banksters,

[01:03:26] they got the, they got the power to bring it all down at the end of his second term.

[01:03:32] And if you're prepping tonight, it might seem like everything just got a lot safer and a lot freer since.

[01:03:40] The last night, this time, four years from now, dangerous territory in the economic sphere.

[01:03:47] I'm making the call tonight.

[01:03:49] There you go.

[01:03:51] Early 2028 economic rug pull.

[01:03:54] I think it's going to happen sooner than that.

[01:03:56] But I think that's, you know, I've thought it's going to happen for, for a while and it hasn't.

[01:04:01] Or maybe the banksters just keep kicking it down the road.

[01:04:05] Why not?

[01:04:06] They got, they got to, they got to kick it.

[01:04:09] Because you got to pull the rug out when the guy has no power to do anything about it.

[01:04:15] Because they all know that when the economy goes to hell in the hands basket in one week,

[01:04:20] that the emergency powers that Congress will grant and, and, and the, uh, the panic in the country

[01:04:27] will enable what Rahm Emanuel called, you know, don't let a crisis go to waste.

[01:04:34] He warned Democrats that crisis.

[01:04:38] It has to be to their benefit.

[01:04:40] They pull that rug on Trump next year.

[01:04:43] It'll be the most powerful president we've seen in our lifetime to fix it.

[01:04:46] They're not going to give him that.

[01:04:48] They're going to pull it out right at the end and leave J.D. Vance trying to get reelected

[01:04:55] on a absolute horror show of a, of an economic situation.

[01:05:01] Mark those words.

[01:05:03] There you go.

[01:05:04] All right.

[01:05:05] We're out of here, folks.

[01:05:06] I'll leave this with, uh, Fox business.com.

[01:05:09] The four top contenders to lead treasury department under president elect Trump.

[01:05:14] The first one in the picture, at least Jamie diamond, the bankster of banksters.

[01:05:19] So let's hope it's not that guy.

[01:05:21] All right.

[01:05:22] We'll be back next week.

[01:05:24] Right.

[01:05:24] Future Dan next Wednesday.

[01:05:27] That'd be a smart move.

[01:05:29] Then it wouldn't all be able to crash.

[01:05:31] Cause that fool would be in there.

[01:05:32] See you next week.

[01:05:33] Ben.

[01:05:34] Great show.

[01:05:34] Great show.

[01:05:35] Big show.

[01:05:36] Big show.
