[00:00:28] Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro.
[00:00:34] 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.
[00:00:38] And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are. I had some place to escape to.
[00:00:45] 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.
[00:00:56] This is the last stand on Earth. The last stand on Earth.
[00:01:05] You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour.
[00:02:16] This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence.
[00:02:23] Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com.
[00:02:33] Patriot Power Hour. We are live November 13th, 2024. It's episode 285. Yes, 285.
[00:02:44] Also, what I consider the seventh year anniversary snuck up on us. Patriot Power Hour.
[00:02:49] Ben, the Breaker of Banksters here with Future Dan as always. How you doing there, sir?
[00:02:54] Yeah, seven years later, big elephant in the room. We got to get out of the way. Bitcoin at its all-time high.
[00:03:03] All-time high. It's just above 90,000 right now. About this time last week, it was 75. And that was after a good day after Trump won,
[00:03:14] who's seen as a very pro-Bitcoin and just overall economy president compared to his counterpart, whoever that was, whoever that bum was.
[00:03:22] But 90,000, Bitcoin's ripping and roaring. In the meanwhile, gold and silver down about 5% to actually more like 10% each in the last week.
[00:03:35] The question is, is that just because there's less uncertainty or is it because Bitcoin's demonetizing gold and silver?
[00:03:45] I still think that linking the dollar to Bitcoin in the long run with a strategic Bitcoin reserve, a lot of investors understand that that might force other countries to do it too.
[00:04:01] And now we're not talking $90,000. Yeah, now we're not talking 90,000 a coin. We're talking 900,000 a coin. A million.
[00:04:14] Yes, if so. This week at about $85,000 was the price where Bitcoin now has, at least as of this recording, has a higher market cap than all silver.
[00:04:31] So I don't have the exact number in front of me, but it's around $1.5 trillion worth of silver in the world.
[00:04:39] And all of Bitcoin combined in the world is worth about $1.5 trillion now.
[00:04:45] Now, if that happens with gold, if they call it flip, right? If Bitcoin flips gold or let's just say the market cap is equal or greater than gold, Bitcoin would be about $800,000, which is 10 times more than it is right now.
[00:05:03] So that's a long, there are a couple of ways to look at it. That's a long mountain. That could take many, many years. I'm sure it will. It's not going to happen overnight.
[00:05:09] On the other hand, maybe it's reasonable and that means it's not too early to still get in. That's two ways to look at it right there.
[00:05:20] It's proving to be an excellent means to set aside a relatively small amount of money and prepare to have cash on hand for all the preps that are out of reach right now. Would you agree?
[00:05:37] I look at it as if you're going to have a dollar in the system on in the electronic banking system, 401k savings, whatever, you might as well have it in Bitcoin.
[00:05:52] Now, I'm a Bitcoin maximalist, but I have essentially no electronic assets besides Bitcoin. Of course, I have a lot of physical in real life. I'm a prepper. I understand without electricity, you're kind of screwed in the short term or even the long term with Bitcoin.
[00:06:11] Bitcoin. So obviously here on Prepper Broadcasting Network, that's a huge problem if you're prepped for end of the world, but anything less than end of the world, i.e. a Trump presidency where maybe we can reclaim or at least forestall apocalypse for a while.
[00:06:28] Bitcoin is the superior electronic form of money.
[00:06:35] Exactly. Well, it's ripping right now. That's for sure.
[00:06:39] Probably spend the entire episode talking crypto, but there's a lot more going on, a lot more headlines on future danger heat map, which will present in the next segment.
[00:06:52] But they do seem to be low-grade threats, early warning signs or just repeat signals of the same drumbeat of, you know, news showing threats that we have to watch out for.
[00:07:08] But there's no black on red tonight. There's one red indicator.
[00:07:14] So relatively full news map or news dashboard, but at a low, low-grade intensity.
[00:07:23] That's how I characterize this for episode 285 of Patriot Power Hour, our current situation that is.
[00:07:30] It honestly might have the widest breadth of topics with the least amount of actualization or severity, whatever.
[00:07:43] However you want to look at it, like you said, there are a couple red-level articles, but almost all of them are topical or low-level.
[00:07:52] So we're going to go through them all, of course, but given that there's at least 30 headlines here, I would suppose 25 of them are very low-level, topical, interesting, worth tracking, but not really much going on.
[00:08:09] 25 out of 30, that's a very large amount, and that ratio is very high compared to what we normally see.
[00:08:18] Yeah, yeah, definitely.
[00:08:20] But before we get into headlines on the news map, we should probably take a moment to talk about some of Trump's cabinet nominees.
[00:08:32] Let's make it happen.
[00:08:33] We'll start with Rubio.
[00:08:37] Secretary of State.
[00:08:41] And consider it a Warhawk.
[00:08:42] That would be the criticism.
[00:08:43] That would be a criticism from the left and also from general anti-war sentiment that Rubio's been very much a war hawk.
[00:08:55] What do you think?
[00:08:58] I'm going to have to research a lot more because at this point, Trump has won some trust from me and some benefit of the doubt.
[00:09:08] So I think, hey, let me take another look at Rubio.
[00:09:11] So his reputation as a war hawk and darn near neocon precedes him.
[00:09:18] But I've also seen Rubio say some good things, but tough one.
[00:09:24] The foreign policy of Trump is not my favorite part of the package he brings to bear.
[00:09:29] But let's just say there's other appointments I like more for sure.
[00:09:34] But let me do a little more homework on Rubio and see what he's up to now.
[00:09:38] I will say final thing.
[00:09:41] Trump disparaged Rubio in like 2015 on Twitter.
[00:09:44] Now things have changed for sure.
[00:09:46] But he was definitely calling Rubio part of the swamp at that time.
[00:09:53] Well, who hasn't he disparaged that stood against him?
[00:09:57] And by the way, as soon as opponents stop standing against him, he kind of leaves them alone.
[00:10:07] Yeah, he's like, hey, get out of the way and surrender.
[00:10:12] And we won't have summary executions.
[00:10:15] You can go on and live in your palatial palaces or be kind of exiled from government.
[00:10:20] We don't need to punish all of you with jail now.
[00:10:24] Many, many do need to go to jail.
[00:10:25] But I feel like from a non-criminal point of view, his political foes, he's like, hey, you don't even have to bend the knee and kiss my ass necessarily.
[00:10:36] Now that's nice.
[00:10:38] But at least just get out of my way.
[00:10:40] I got bigger fish to fry, bigger fights to wage is how it just seems with Trump there.
[00:10:49] You know, Trump approaches this sort of thing like a businessman looking at a, you know, a ledger, right?
[00:10:57] Asset versus liability.
[00:10:59] And when you're opposing him, whether it's in the Republican establishment, you know, or just, you know, we're talking about within his side of the aisle.
[00:11:10] We're not talking about his opponents, the Democrats.
[00:11:13] Yes.
[00:11:14] But on his side, if you're either an asset or a liability, if you prove yourself to be an opponent in the primaries, he's going to treat you that way.
[00:11:27] And then after you, you know, withdraw from running against him, you know, he works to make you an asset.
[00:11:36] But Tulsi Gabbard, defense or the director of national intelligence, DNI, that's not a cabinet position, but it is an important position that he did nominate Tulsi Gabbard for.
[00:11:52] She ran as a Democrat, grew up as a political career as a Democrat and has now switched to the Republican Party.
[00:11:59] And the interesting thing will be watching the criticism of Rubio.
[00:12:05] You know, Democrats are going to try to assassinate character and call into, you know, concerned ethical, you know, perceived ethical violations of any anybody that Trump, you know, that's part of the resistance is just oppose everything, just slow down everything.
[00:12:22] Right.
[00:12:23] Here's where they're caught coming and going, though.
[00:12:26] If Rubio is a war hawk and has said things that are, you know, dangerous in that regard, and he's firmly, you know, anti-communist party of China in his public statements, that much I know.
[00:12:42] Gabbard is probably going to face the exact opposite criticism, that she's a peacenik that opposes war and that could jeopardize security.
[00:12:54] So with those two picks, Trump's, you know, picked assets, their assets now, and he's rewarding them for being assets.
[00:13:05] And the criticism that his political opponents can lay against him are kind of polar opposite.
[00:13:12] Somewhat, you know, a little bit of 4D jest going on there.
[00:13:16] I mean, making a bonus, ultimately, they're going to end up being a notion of what the criticism of each of those nominees are.
[00:13:27] You're breaking up just a little bit there at the end.
[00:13:29] Can you repeat, like, the last 10 seconds, maybe?
[00:13:33] Yeah, I'm just, I'm saying that he's putting the Democrats in a position where if Rubio's too much of a war hawk and Gabbard's too much of a dove, well, what's your argument?
[00:13:46] Which way do you want to have it?
[00:13:47] You can't have both, right?
[00:13:51] Yeah, I can see we're trying to kind of balance it there.
[00:13:54] It, national security is not easy at all.
[00:13:58] Especially not nowadays.
[00:13:59] With China rising and things already, a conflagration in Ukraine, Middle East not looking so happy.
[00:14:08] So, neither, neither route is easy.
[00:14:12] Alright, what else we got?
[00:14:13] I mean, we got Gates.
[00:14:15] Have a, you know, next up, what's your thoughts on Gates?
[00:14:19] I saw that come across social media and I felt the urge to immediately turn on.
[00:14:26] I was, I was, I was heading to CNN.
[00:14:29] But when I turned on my TV, it was actually happened to be on MSNBC.
[00:14:35] And I watched the announcement come out breaking news.
[00:14:40] And I, and I watched the segment that MSNBC's anchor was in some afternoon MSNBC news show.
[00:14:48] Just stunned, stunned.
[00:14:51] Like, like they didn't know what to say.
[00:14:53] Nothing had been written for the talking heads to come out.
[00:14:58] The, the amazing part though, is they were cycling photographs of Matt Gates as they came to grips with that reality.
[00:15:11] And, obviously, to me, the, the pre-staged pictures of any of their political opponents, they picked the worst ones.
[00:15:22] They get all the goofy faces, the evil looking expressions.
[00:15:26] Like, they got a, they got a stack of photos for any moment.
[00:15:30] So, the, they were that far ahead on, on the imagery, they didn't know what to say.
[00:15:38] And I, I really can't think of a single attorney general nominee that would pose a greater threat to what the DOJ and the FBI stands for.
[00:15:52] In the last, uh, 16 years, really got cemented under Obama and Trump had to fight it in his first term.
[00:16:01] And it's been, you know, you know, pretty much against Gestapo in the last four years.
[00:16:07] Uh, Gates is going in there.
[00:16:09] He is an attorney, practiced law briefly, then became a politician elected.
[00:16:15] But if he's surrounded with the right people, there, there could be no, you know, more, you know, no, no greater lightning rod to take on the cleaning out of the DOJ and the FBI.
[00:16:28] And I think Trump is, you know, going to be hopeful that a lot of these embedded deep state pro-Democrat corrupt justice officials are, they're just going to quit.
[00:16:44] By January, by, by inauguration.
[00:16:47] Gates might not have to clean out that much.
[00:16:49] They might all just resign.
[00:16:52] Self-deport.
[00:16:53] Self-deport.
[00:16:54] They got the border czar.
[00:16:56] What's his name again?
[00:16:57] Is it?
[00:16:58] Holman?
[00:16:59] Holman?
[00:16:59] I don't have a list of all this in front of me, but we don't, we just had a couple clips of the border czar.
[00:17:06] I'm sure you all have heard that.
[00:17:07] Can you explain what the border czar is?
[00:17:09] Because it's not an actual cabinet position.
[00:17:12] Is this just like some informal advisor?
[00:17:15] How do you constitutionally see a border czar?
[00:17:19] What does it even mean?
[00:17:22] Well, the constitution doesn't even specify cabinets, right?
[00:17:26] So these are all creations of law.
[00:17:30] And the czar of anything that came in vogue.
[00:17:34] I can't remember if it was at the end of the Reagan term or during the first Bush presidency.
[00:17:39] But this idea of a leading coordinator of some policy, and naming it a czar is bizarrely foreign to me anyways.
[00:17:50] I don't like it.
[00:17:51] Like a czar is...
[00:17:52] They should not, Trump should not continue that.
[00:17:54] No.
[00:17:54] I thought it was like a totally commie thing.
[00:17:57] Why would he even, I don't know, why would he perpetuate that?
[00:18:00] He should have been holding that against all the prior administrations.
[00:18:04] Sorry.
[00:18:04] It effectively, you know, I don't like the term, but effectively we're talking about an advisor to the president that coordinates policy in one specific area.
[00:18:16] But that's confirmed by the Senate.
[00:18:18] They don't have statutory authority for anything.
[00:18:23] Right.
[00:18:24] Yeah.
[00:18:25] And they can come and go.
[00:18:27] So I think that's a throwback to the era when Trump, you know, just grew up, the era he grew up in.
[00:18:35] Czars were appointed.
[00:18:36] So he's finding a way to bring the right people near him.
[00:18:42] And the big, big question is, will it be a more disciplined White House?
[00:18:46] And right now, this nomination process, it's moving swiftly.
[00:18:50] It's taking his political opponents.
[00:18:53] You know, they're off guard at every step.
[00:18:56] And it seems a lot more orderly than last time.
[00:19:02] It should be for a few reasons.
[00:19:04] But you've got to imagine the Democrats are pretty shook right now.
[00:19:08] And it's been a full week.
[00:19:09] So a little shell-shocked each piece of news that comes at them.
[00:19:14] Kind of knocks the wheel down a little bit more.
[00:19:17] Maybe not.
[00:19:18] Maybe the empire will strike back, for lack of a better reference.
[00:19:23] What about Senate Majority Leader getting all this confirmed from, what, South Dakota?
[00:19:29] Is that correct?
[00:19:32] Well, that's not an appointee.
[00:19:34] No, but he's been, you know, put through today.
[00:19:39] I guess maybe there's more appointees on the list he wanted to go through.
[00:19:43] Oh, no, we can jump around.
[00:19:44] But soon is considered a rhino.
[00:19:48] He actually called for Trump to withdraw and Pence to ascend to the nomination a month before Trump won the first time.
[00:20:00] However, how much he's come around to the reality of Donald Trump's political power remains to be seen.
[00:20:10] But the litmus test that Trump had for any nominee for the position of majority leader in the Senate was that they allow recess appointments.
[00:20:25] And reporters this afternoon were chasing around Representative Massey.
[00:20:29] He was riding an escalator.
[00:20:31] You know, he was trying to get around, you know, the offices in D.C.
[00:20:34] And reporters were following along with microphones asking about the Matt Gaetz appointment.
[00:20:41] And he just looked at him and says, we're going to recess.
[00:20:45] So, Gates is the AG.
[00:20:49] Suck it up.
[00:20:51] That's House Republicans are telling the media right now.
[00:20:54] Yeah, they're in shock.
[00:20:57] They're powerless to stop this.
[00:21:00] And really, it's a matter of, you know, the leave behind sleeper cells.
[00:21:06] The bureaucrats that can escape immediate scrutiny from, you know, the Trump administration.
[00:21:14] That can just, you know, do whatever they can to sabotage the policies of the incoming president.
[00:21:21] They did it to him last time.
[00:21:23] But, you know, last time Trump was novice at this.
[00:21:28] I think the plan to root them out is, you know, underway right now.
[00:21:38] All right, folks.
[00:21:39] Going to the news dashboard after this real quick break.
[00:21:44] Here on Patriot Power Hour, episode 285.

[00:23:28] Again, that's the Prepper's Medical Handbook by William W. Forgey.
[00:23:33] A person who advocates and practices preparedness.
[00:23:36] One ready for any event that would disrupt their daily routine.
[00:23:40] That is a Prepper.
[00:24:00] X's tell the story.
[00:24:02] This life had many shades.
[00:24:04] I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day.
[00:24:08] I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette that smoldered in its tray.
[00:24:13] Down a little something, then be on my way.
[00:24:58] Patriot Power Hour.
[00:24:59] We're live and we are back.
[00:25:01] Time for the News Blitz on this 285th episode.
[00:25:04] November 13, 2024.
[00:25:10] Let's be pithy.
[00:25:14] Google still burying right-leaning media post-election.
[00:25:20] Meaning censorship.
[00:25:24] Judge delay sentencing of President-elect for falsifying business records.
[00:25:30] Delayed indefinitely.
[00:25:34] Polymarket.
[00:25:35] We've talked about Polymarket a lot here on the show.
[00:25:40] Well, the CEO's phone and electronics were seized by the FBI.
[00:25:46] Just a few days after Trump's win.
[00:25:50] Polymarket.
[00:25:51] Where people were putting wages on Trump and they predicted that Trump would win.
[00:25:57] Well, can't do that.
[00:25:59] FBI seizes the phone and electronics.
[00:26:03] Georgia mother jailed for letting tenure walk less than a mile alone to town.
[00:26:13] Geopolitics.
[00:26:14] Got a little bit of news, but thankfully, all topical or low level.
[00:26:21] U.S. opens missile defense base in northwestern Poland.
[00:26:25] A hundred Israeli airstrikes pound Hezbollah in Lebanon.
[00:26:31] Some of the biggest daytime strikes ever.
[00:26:36] FBI stops Iranian plot to assassinate Trump.
[00:26:43] FEMA staging 350 semi-trailers at a decommissioned Air Force base in Michigan.
[00:26:51] Interesting.
[00:26:54] Colorado and Illinois governors might reject National Guard federalization for the mass deportation plan.
[00:27:05] Some of the states trying to fight at their level.
[00:27:12] Economically, we already talked about Bitcoin, but wow.
[00:27:16] $90,000.
[00:27:17] Seven years ago, when we started Bitcoin, it was about $20,000.
[00:27:22] Had a heck of a ride since then.
[00:27:25] It lost 50%.
[00:27:26] It quadrupled.
[00:27:28] It lost 70%.
[00:27:30] It tripled.
[00:27:31] Up and down and up and down.
[00:27:32] But the only thing that's not volatile about it is the fact it keeps growing in the long term.
[00:27:39] Hey, Trump likes it now.
[00:27:41] If you always thought it was a dumb idea, some sort of scam, now it's time to maybe look into it.
[00:27:47] That's all I'll say.
[00:27:49] Gold and silver getting beat down.
[00:27:53] Unfortunately.
[00:27:55] But, hey.
[00:27:55] We buy it as insurance.
[00:27:57] I certainly do at least.
[00:27:58] So, if gold and silver are going down, maybe that's good news for the rest of the world, right?
[00:28:03] The economy of the world is not going to collapse.
[00:28:06] So, hey.
[00:28:07] Some of your gold and silver goes down in value.
[00:28:08] Whatever.
[00:28:08] Economically.
[00:28:10] We got the stock market ripping and roaring.
[00:28:14] All-time highs.
[00:28:18] S&P 500 is 10 times higher than it was at its low in the great financial crisis.
[00:28:26] It was at a financial crisis in, I believe, January 2009 was the low of the markets.
[00:28:34] Infamous 666.
[00:28:36] S&P was worth 666 points.
[00:28:39] At its all-time low.
[00:28:40] Well, not all-time low.
[00:28:41] But low of the 2008-2009 crisis.
[00:28:44] It's now above 6,000.
[00:28:46] So, from 666 to above 6,000 markets.
[00:28:51] Not as much as Bitcoin.
[00:28:53] But still ripping and roaring.
[00:28:54] So is the debt, though.
[00:28:56] We're above 35 trillion in debt.
[00:28:58] But generally, the economy and financial news overall, not that much going on right now.
[00:29:09] FDA forces Costco to recall 80,000 pounds of butter because label didn't say contains milk.
[00:29:18] Feigned economist and former Treasury Secretary sounds the alarm bell on inflation.
[00:29:26] Federal government deficit explodes.
[00:29:28] Second worst start to U.S. fiscal year on record.
[00:29:33] So, yeah.
[00:29:34] Debt, not great.
[00:29:36] Florida home prices steepest decline since 2011, which was the low of the housing market.
[00:29:43] Took a year or two to work through from 2009 class.
[00:29:51] Sorry for all the noise.
[00:29:52] My dog's going crazy.
[00:29:53] Just got home from work today.
[00:29:55] So, they're freaking all over the place.
[00:29:57] Driving me crazy.
[00:29:58] Chewing on stuff.
[00:29:59] Shaking.
[00:30:01] Well, we power on.
[00:30:05] Very strong.
[00:30:07] 6.8 magnitude earthquake.
[00:30:08] Hits Cuba.
[00:30:11] Peer-reviewed paper shows COVID vaccines increase risk of getting COVID.
[00:30:15] It's one of the most important articles of the week.
[00:30:19] We'll dive into that.
[00:30:21] Again, peer-reviewed paper shows COVID vaccines increase risk of getting COVID.
[00:30:29] Forever chemicals in U.S. drinking water.
[00:30:32] A growing problem.
[00:30:33] Glad to see RFK in there.
[00:30:35] Mixing it up with that type of stuff.
[00:30:38] Bringing some attention to forever chemicals.
[00:30:42] Microplastics.
[00:30:43] GMO.
[00:30:43] All of that crap.
[00:30:44] Let alone the vaccines.
[00:30:46] Over 20 chemicals used to grow food linked to prostate cancer.
[00:30:51] Prostate cancer.
[00:30:54] 20 chemicals used by Big Agra linked to prostate cancer.
[00:30:59] Medical experts beginning to feel compelled to report untreatable turbo cancers.
[00:31:08] Coming out and saying, look, there's these turbo cancers that almost come out of nowhere.
[00:31:13] And just metastasize it grows so quickly.
[00:31:15] Pretty much untreatable.
[00:31:17] We have never seen anything at this level before.
[00:31:20] Essentially what they're saying.
[00:31:23] Why?
[00:31:24] Why?
[00:31:24] We could talk about that.
[00:31:26] Five Americans got an STD every minute last year.
[00:31:31] That's horrifying.
[00:31:33] Five Americans get an STD every minute last year.
[00:31:37] Wi-Fi has potential to influence brain waves.
[00:31:42] Making people vulnerable to suggestibility.
[00:31:47] Mood enhancing.
[00:31:49] Mood dampening.
[00:31:51] And more.
[00:31:54] Last one.
[00:31:57] 96% of seal colony.
[00:32:01] Elephant seal colony.
[00:32:03] Pups.
[00:32:04] 96% died.
[00:32:08] From bird flu in Argentina.
[00:32:11] Mass extinction.
[00:32:13] Darn near.
[00:32:14] They're definitely.
[00:32:15] Definitely endangered.
[00:32:17] At this point you would think 96%.
[00:32:19] Future Dan.
[00:32:20] That's the news blitz for today.
[00:32:23] Which one of those headlines concerns you the most in the near future?
[00:32:28] The most in the near future.
[00:32:31] Let's look at here.
[00:32:33] 24 months.
[00:32:34] 12 to 24 months.
[00:32:37] Personally or for society as a whole?
[00:32:43] Well, both.
[00:32:45] I guess.
[00:32:46] I think society as a whole.
[00:32:48] I'm probably most concerned about COVID-19.
[00:32:51] Forever Chemicals.
[00:32:53] All the chemicals in the food.
[00:32:54] Give people cancer.
[00:32:55] Turbo cancer.
[00:32:56] I personally knock on wood.
[00:32:58] I don't deal with that right now.
[00:33:00] And I.
[00:33:00] Try to be clean eating.
[00:33:02] And didn't get the COVID vax.
[00:33:03] But like.
[00:33:04] In terms of like.
[00:33:06] Humanity's future.
[00:33:07] I think that's the most concerning.
[00:33:09] For me personally.
[00:33:11] Maybe some of the economic stuff.
[00:33:13] And you know.
[00:33:16] I don't know.
[00:33:17] Not the Costco recalling the 80,000 pounds of butter.
[00:33:21] Because the label was wrong.
[00:33:22] Gee.
[00:33:23] Hopefully the.
[00:33:24] Department of.
[00:33:25] Government efficiency.
[00:33:26] Will.
[00:33:27] Stop that type of waste.
[00:33:33] What do you think of Larry Summers.
[00:33:35] Piping up about.
[00:33:37] Inflation.
[00:33:37] Suddenly.
[00:33:41] Larry Summers.
[00:33:42] Um.
[00:33:43] What is he.
[00:33:44] What did he say lately?
[00:33:45] Is he complaining about it.
[00:33:46] Before he said it was a problem.
[00:33:47] Or vice versa.
[00:33:48] I don't really care what these banks just say.
[00:33:50] Half the time.
[00:33:52] Well he's setting off alarm bells suddenly about inflation.
[00:33:56] Didn't have much to say about it two weeks ago.
[00:33:59] But now he does.
[00:34:01] I was about to say.
[00:34:01] Didn't have much to say about two years ago.
[00:34:03] A year and a half ago.
[00:34:04] And we were putting in eight.
[00:34:05] Ten percent official numbers month over month.
[00:34:08] And five plus percent annualized.
[00:34:12] So.
[00:34:13] Yeah.
[00:34:15] Trump is inheriting a really really nasty economy.
[00:34:18] And all that.
[00:34:20] What he.
[00:34:20] What he needs to do is expose all the.
[00:34:23] Fraudulent numbers.
[00:34:24] So we can really see the magnitude of the debt.
[00:34:26] And the magnitude of the problem.
[00:34:28] Of inflation.
[00:34:29] And unemployment.
[00:34:30] All that.
[00:34:30] Get the real bad numbers out there.
[00:34:32] And fix it.
[00:34:33] Instead of trying to cover it up.
[00:34:34] And tell.
[00:34:35] Tell the fed to lower it to zero percent.
[00:34:38] You know.
[00:34:39] He said that in the past.
[00:34:40] Zero percent.
[00:34:40] You want zero percent.
[00:34:41] Zero percent.
[00:34:42] Zero percent.
[00:34:43] That's not what we want.
[00:34:44] Right now.
[00:34:45] Fix some things.
[00:34:46] Hopefully.
[00:34:47] Well.
[00:34:48] What do you think?
[00:34:52] It's just.
[00:34:53] You know.
[00:34:54] The ability to switch on a dime.
[00:34:57] By that other political party.
[00:34:59] Because their.
[00:35:00] Constituencies are.
[00:35:02] Just.
[00:35:02] Just ignorant.
[00:35:04] Of these matters.
[00:35:05] Like.
[00:35:06] Like what they thought.
[00:35:07] And what they knew.
[00:35:08] Just.
[00:35:10] Short time ago.
[00:35:11] And what.
[00:35:12] Seeds upon.
[00:35:14] And start saying to themselves.
[00:35:15] Moments later.
[00:35:18] Is.
[00:35:18] That alone.
[00:35:19] Is dangerous.
[00:35:20] We have a political party.
[00:35:21] That operates this way.
[00:35:23] They lost this election.
[00:35:24] For this behavior.
[00:35:26] But.
[00:35:27] We know.
[00:35:28] That.
[00:35:29] You know.
[00:35:29] The midterms.
[00:35:30] Are.
[00:35:31] You know.
[00:35:32] Frequently.
[00:35:33] Not favorable.
[00:35:33] To the party in power.
[00:35:35] So.
[00:35:35] This two year window.
[00:35:37] Before.
[00:35:38] You know.
[00:35:38] In all likelihood.
[00:35:40] Democrats.
[00:35:41] Regain.
[00:35:42] The house.
[00:35:42] Or the senate.
[00:35:43] Is.
[00:35:44] You know.
[00:35:45] It's just the window of opportunity.
[00:35:46] But.
[00:35:47] Party.
[00:35:49] Flip flop.
[00:35:50] Like.
[00:35:50] It used to be a problem.
[00:35:51] If you flip flop.
[00:35:52] In politics.
[00:35:54] That.
[00:35:54] They.
[00:35:54] They.
[00:35:55] They almost live by it.
[00:35:58] Unfortunately.
[00:35:59] A lot of them say.
[00:36:01] It doesn't matter.
[00:36:01] Whatever we can do.
[00:36:02] To take out Trump.
[00:36:03] I don't even.
[00:36:04] Care what my side says.
[00:36:06] Or what the truth is.
[00:36:06] As long as it's bad.
[00:36:08] You know.
[00:36:08] As long as it hurts Trump.
[00:36:09] I'm for that.
[00:36:10] There's a large percentage.
[00:36:11] People that say that.
[00:36:12] Now the Larry Summers.
[00:36:13] Of the world are.
[00:36:16] Yeah.
[00:36:17] Let's just say.
[00:36:18] They're not doing it.
[00:36:19] Out of ignorance.
[00:36:21] So.
[00:36:23] Look.
[00:36:24] When.
[00:36:25] Everyone was saying.
[00:36:26] Biden.
[00:36:27] What.
[00:36:28] I think.
[00:36:28] Keith Olberman.
[00:36:29] Said.
[00:36:29] This is the best Biden ever.
[00:36:31] He's so wise.
[00:36:32] And experienced.
[00:36:33] He's sharp as a tack.
[00:36:35] Sharp as a tack.
[00:36:35] All the media was saying that.
[00:36:37] Then we saw him.
[00:36:38] Emperor no clothes.
[00:36:40] On the debate.
[00:36:41] And then everyone's like.
[00:36:42] We gotta get rid of Biden.
[00:36:43] We gotta get rid of Biden.
[00:36:44] Like they don't care about flip flop.
[00:36:46] But it's normal for them.
[00:36:47] Even if it doesn't behoove them.
[00:36:49] They flip flop.
[00:36:50] They're just so used to it.
[00:36:51] I think.
[00:36:51] They just.
[00:36:52] You know.
[00:36:52] Go.
[00:36:53] Go with the wind.
[00:36:56] Yeah.
[00:36:56] The attention deficit disorder.
[00:36:58] That they're counting upon.
[00:37:00] From their.
[00:37:01] From the voters.
[00:37:02] I mean.
[00:37:03] That's a key to them losing the.
[00:37:05] Election.
[00:37:06] Is that there was just.
[00:37:07] Wasn't enough zombies.
[00:37:09] Who can just hear whatever MSNBC or CNN.
[00:37:13] CNN is saying.
[00:37:14] Tonight versus tomorrow night.
[00:37:16] And how it doesn't even.
[00:37:17] You know.
[00:37:18] Comport with.
[00:37:19] With.
[00:37:20] With.
[00:37:20] With.
[00:37:21] With.
[00:37:21] You know.
[00:37:21] Logic.
[00:37:22] It just can contradict itself.
[00:37:24] They overestimated the amount of people they had.
[00:37:27] Under that kind of sway.
[00:37:29] But it's a matter of time.
[00:37:30] Before narratives are reinforced.
[00:37:32] They're not going to stop the drum beat.
[00:37:34] They're going to.
[00:37:35] You know.
[00:37:36] Decease upon.
[00:37:37] Anything they can.
[00:37:39] To.
[00:37:39] You know.
[00:37:40] Undermine.
[00:37:41] Trump's political power.
[00:37:42] But it.
[00:37:43] Trump's power is as.
[00:37:44] As a zenith right now.
[00:37:45] It's.
[00:37:46] It's all time high this week.
[00:37:49] So use it.
[00:37:50] And he seems to be using it.
[00:37:52] Or moving the machine.
[00:37:53] To get ready to.
[00:37:54] Hit.
[00:37:55] The ground running.
[00:37:56] Day one for real.
[00:37:57] Which is nice.
[00:37:59] Any criticisms.
[00:38:00] Or areas you wish.
[00:38:02] He talked about.
[00:38:03] In the first week.
[00:38:04] Of president elect.
[00:38:05] Like.
[00:38:06] You know.
[00:38:07] Either.
[00:38:08] Policies you think are critical.
[00:38:09] He hasn't talked about.
[00:38:11] Or.
[00:38:11] Missteps.
[00:38:12] Or appointees.
[00:38:13] Etc.
[00:38:14] You think.
[00:38:14] Are wrong.
[00:38:17] No.
[00:38:18] No.
[00:38:20] Given where we were at.
[00:38:21] Bringing Gates in as AG.
[00:38:24] To clean house.
[00:38:25] To bring about justice.
[00:38:26] Elon Musk.
[00:38:29] You know.
[00:38:30] Nicknamed him.
[00:38:30] The hammer of justice.
[00:38:32] A few hours ago.
[00:38:33] I mean.
[00:38:34] That's.
[00:38:35] We're talking.
[00:38:36] You know.
[00:38:37] You know.
[00:38:38] In a patient.
[00:38:39] That has many.
[00:38:40] Many.
[00:38:41] Frailties.
[00:38:42] And illnesses.
[00:38:43] And.
[00:38:45] Is not healthy.
[00:38:47] You gotta.
[00:38:48] You know.
[00:38:48] When you go.
[00:38:49] And try to.
[00:38:49] Take care of someone.
[00:38:50] In an emergency situation.
[00:38:52] Medically.
[00:38:53] You gotta keep the airway.
[00:38:55] Open.
[00:38:56] You gotta keep.
[00:38:57] The heart beating.
[00:38:58] You gotta.
[00:38:59] You gotta stop the bleeding.
[00:39:01] Right.
[00:39:02] You know.
[00:39:02] ABC.
[00:39:03] Airway.
[00:39:04] Bleeding.
[00:39:04] In circulation.
[00:39:06] You know.
[00:39:07] You.
[00:39:08] It has to.
[00:39:09] You know.
[00:39:10] The rest of it.
[00:39:11] Is.
[00:39:12] You know.
[00:39:13] On the.
[00:39:13] On the margin.
[00:39:14] To me right now.
[00:39:15] But what Gates.
[00:39:16] Could potentially do.
[00:39:18] You know.
[00:39:19] Releasing.
[00:39:20] Epstein's list.
[00:39:21] Which.
[00:39:21] You know.
[00:39:22] Could possibly show Larry Summers.
[00:39:24] Having visited.
[00:39:25] Epstein's island.
[00:39:26] Right.
[00:39:27] This is what.
[00:39:28] D.C.
[00:39:29] Establishment.
[00:39:30] And.
[00:39:30] And.
[00:39:31] Especially the Democrat.
[00:39:32] D.C.
[00:39:33] Establishment.
[00:39:34] Is in full.
[00:39:35] Panic.
[00:39:36] Right now.
[00:39:37] And that looks.
[00:39:38] Pretty healthy.
[00:39:39] To the Republic.
[00:39:40] To me.
[00:39:43] I really want to see it come out.
[00:39:45] Whether it's Epstein's list.
[00:39:47] The.
[00:39:47] Or any other damning.
[00:39:51] About fraud.
[00:39:52] And crimes.
[00:39:53] That have been committed.
[00:39:53] In the last.
[00:39:54] Few years.
[00:39:55] Or even.
[00:39:55] You know.
[00:39:56] Decades ago.
[00:39:57] For that matter.
[00:39:59] Of course.
[00:40:00] Not every promise.
[00:40:01] Will be kept.
[00:40:01] Or can be kept.
[00:40:03] But.
[00:40:03] They've said.
[00:40:03] They're going to do a lot.
[00:40:04] On that front.
[00:40:05] They better man.
[00:40:06] They really better.
[00:40:09] Another area.
[00:40:10] That's.
[00:40:10] Is coming up.
[00:40:11] Is.
[00:40:12] In the Department of Defense.
[00:40:14] Pete.
[00:40:15] Hegseth.
[00:40:16] Nominated.
[00:40:16] He was on.
[00:40:18] Fox and Friends.
[00:40:18] Hosting on Saturday.
[00:40:20] Right.
[00:40:20] That's how I knew him.
[00:40:21] Is he's a Fox and Friends.
[00:40:23] Host on the weekends.
[00:40:25] Well he's going to be the.
[00:40:26] Secretary of Defense.
[00:40:28] And.
[00:40:29] Rumor has it.
[00:40:30] There's an executive order.
[00:40:32] Prepared.
[00:40:32] It's going to establish.
[00:40:33] Board.
[00:40:34] And it's really going to look.
[00:40:36] At firing generals.
[00:40:38] Firing generals.
[00:40:39] Responsible for Afghanistan.
[00:40:41] Firing anybody.
[00:40:42] In chains of command.
[00:40:44] You know.
[00:40:45] Thwarted.
[00:40:47] The bill.
[00:40:48] Of.
[00:40:49] POTUS 45.
[00:40:50] In other words.
[00:40:50] Trump's first presidency.
[00:40:52] And the generals.
[00:40:53] Have brought about.
[00:40:55] The.
[00:40:55] The.
[00:40:56] The transsexual.
[00:40:58] You know.
[00:41:00] Policies.
[00:41:01] That are.
[00:41:02] You know.
[00:41:03] Hegseth.
[00:41:03] Let's just say.
[00:41:04] He's.
[00:41:04] He's clearly said.
[00:41:06] He's going to put an end to that.
[00:41:07] So.
[00:41:08] That's going to be presented to the world.
[00:41:10] As you know.
[00:41:11] You know.
[00:41:11] Purging the military.
[00:41:13] Behaving like third world.
[00:41:14] But.
[00:41:15] Elections have consequences.
[00:41:17] You know.
[00:41:19] Partisanship.
[00:41:19] Within the ranks of.
[00:41:21] Of.
[00:41:21] The senior officer corps.
[00:41:22] Is not unheard of.
[00:41:24] Lincoln had his own problems.
[00:41:27] He faced.
[00:41:28] You know.
[00:41:29] Generals who quit.
[00:41:30] McClellan quit.
[00:41:31] And ran against him.
[00:41:32] During the civil war.
[00:41:34] Right.
[00:41:34] So.
[00:41:35] You know.
[00:41:36] This is.
[00:41:36] This is not new.
[00:41:37] This is natural.
[00:41:38] This is civilian control.
[00:41:39] Of the military.
[00:41:40] By popularly elected.
[00:41:42] Uh.
[00:41:43] You know.
[00:41:44] Constitutional officer.
[00:41:45] The president.
[00:41:46] And his appointees.
[00:41:47] So.
[00:41:48] Lots of positions are open.
[00:41:50] There could be.
[00:41:50] There could be other appointments.
[00:41:52] Where I'm scratching my head.
[00:41:53] Thinking.
[00:41:54] Why is this person.
[00:41:54] In that position.
[00:41:56] But.
[00:41:57] The big ones.
[00:41:58] Are getting filled right now.
[00:41:59] And.
[00:42:00] Uh.
[00:42:02] DC's in panic.
[00:42:03] Because of who.
[00:42:04] Who's getting named.
[00:42:07] I like how you.
[00:42:08] You know.
[00:42:09] I liken it to the self-deportation.
[00:42:12] Of.
[00:42:13] Illegal immigrants.
[00:42:14] We could have some self-deportation.
[00:42:16] Of some bureaucrats.
[00:42:18] Deep staters.
[00:42:19] Maybe not the fully dedicated.
[00:42:23] Agents.
[00:42:25] But.
[00:42:26] A lot of their.
[00:42:27] A lot of their minions.
[00:42:28] Maybe they'll.
[00:42:29] They'll resign.
[00:42:29] Do you expect.
[00:42:32] Let's even say.
[00:42:33] 10% of the federal workforce.
[00:42:36] To be eliminated.
[00:42:37] In the first year.
[00:42:39] Well.
[00:42:40] The federal workforce.
[00:42:41] Is.
[00:42:41] Over 20 million.
[00:42:42] So.
[00:42:43] 10% of them.
[00:42:45] I see.
[00:42:46] All right.
[00:42:46] Look at.
[00:42:47] You look at the federal workforce.
[00:42:48] It's at two levels.
[00:42:49] There's the.
[00:42:50] Civil servants.
[00:42:53] Who.
[00:42:53] Have unionized.
[00:42:54] Even though.
[00:42:55] During the great depression.
[00:42:56] During.
[00:42:58] Franklin Delano.
[00:42:59] Roosevelt's.
[00:42:59] Four terms in office.
[00:43:01] At least.
[00:43:02] Back then.
[00:43:02] They.
[00:43:03] Soundly rejected.
[00:43:05] The idea.
[00:43:05] Civil servants.
[00:43:08] Unionizing.
[00:43:08] But.
[00:43:09] It's the norm now.
[00:43:10] And then.
[00:43:12] So there's that layer.
[00:43:14] With relatively less power.
[00:43:16] But far.
[00:43:17] Far more employees.
[00:43:18] With far.
[00:43:20] Far stronger unions.
[00:43:21] And protections.
[00:43:22] You know.
[00:43:22] The president simply can't.
[00:43:25] You know.
[00:43:25] Fire them.
[00:43:26] But then there's the.
[00:43:27] Senior executive schedule.
[00:43:28] The SESs.
[00:43:29] Those are political appointees.
[00:43:31] They will all resign.
[00:43:33] All of Biden's.
[00:43:34] SESs will resign.
[00:43:36] And.
[00:43:37] The question is.
[00:43:38] Can.
[00:43:39] Trump find enough people.
[00:43:41] You know.
[00:43:42] They're obviously.
[00:43:43] Going to get called.
[00:43:45] Unqualified.
[00:43:46] Whatever that's supposed to mean.
[00:43:48] By Democrats.
[00:43:49] And Rhino Republicans.
[00:43:50] You know.
[00:43:51] The senator in Alaska.
[00:43:52] Is already.
[00:43:53] You know.
[00:43:54] Condemning Gates's appointment.
[00:43:55] As.
[00:43:56] He's not a serious pick.
[00:43:58] Right.
[00:43:58] So there's rhinos.
[00:43:59] Even in the Senate still.
[00:44:01] That.
[00:44:01] You know.
[00:44:02] Are going to oppose him.
[00:44:03] But.
[00:44:04] Is there.
[00:44:04] Is there enough.
[00:44:06] Effective leaders.
[00:44:07] Standing in the wings.
[00:44:08] To be senior executive.
[00:44:10] Schedule.
[00:44:11] Appointees.
[00:44:12] And are they going to.
[00:44:13] You know.
[00:44:13] Go in to Mar-a-Lago.
[00:44:15] And sound good.
[00:44:16] And get Trump.
[00:44:17] To pick them.
[00:44:19] Appoint them.
[00:44:20] And then.
[00:44:21] You know.
[00:44:21] Ultimately.
[00:44:21] They were there.
[00:44:22] For a book deal.
[00:44:23] Because they're going to be.
[00:44:24] You know.
[00:44:29] Time in the first.
[00:44:30] Trump presidency.
[00:44:33] Time will tell.
[00:44:34] But.
[00:44:34] Boy.
[00:44:35] You know.
[00:44:36] Trump and his team.
[00:44:37] Had a lot of time.
[00:44:38] To learn from their mistakes.
[00:44:39] The first time around.
[00:44:42] And I think.
[00:44:43] Who he's surrounding himself with.
[00:44:45] As advisors.
[00:44:46] Is.
[00:44:47] A lot better.
[00:44:48] But that experience.
[00:44:49] Is so key.
[00:44:49] So important.
[00:44:52] Hmm.
[00:44:52] Hmm.
[00:44:54] Well.
[00:44:54] Musk's.
[00:44:55] Come out and said.
[00:44:56] Elon Musk.
[00:44:57] Of course.
[00:44:59] I.
[00:44:59] I guess he's referring to.
[00:45:01] Not the senior executive.
[00:45:03] Leadership.
[00:45:04] But more of the.
[00:45:06] Of.
[00:45:07] The much larger portion.
[00:45:08] Of the workforce.
[00:45:09] That.
[00:45:09] They're going to get.
[00:45:10] A two year severance.
[00:45:13] And.
[00:45:14] That's still a really good deal.
[00:45:15] To get them out.
[00:45:16] What.
[00:45:17] Do you think that's even reasonable?
[00:45:18] Do those unions.
[00:45:19] Have such.
[00:45:20] Sway.
[00:45:21] That they could prevent.
[00:45:21] Any layoffs.
[00:45:23] And can you just.
[00:45:24] Like.
[00:45:24] Just give a couple examples.
[00:45:26] Who those unions are.
[00:45:28] Like 20 million.
[00:45:29] Federal employees.
[00:45:30] That's a heck of a lot.
[00:45:34] Well.
[00:45:35] Constitution is designed.
[00:45:37] To.
[00:45:37] You know.
[00:45:37] Actually make.
[00:45:39] The Congress.
[00:45:40] The most powerful branch.
[00:45:42] And.
[00:45:44] If Congress.
[00:45:45] Defunds.
[00:45:45] These agencies.
[00:45:47] Then there will be layoffs.
[00:45:49] Those people will be.
[00:45:50] You know.
[00:45:51] Let go from government.
[00:45:52] Right.
[00:45:52] Right.
[00:45:53] But it's.
[00:45:53] It's going to have to.
[00:45:54] Come through the.
[00:45:55] The budget process.
[00:45:57] Which.
[00:45:57] Thune.
[00:45:59] And.
[00:46:00] And.
[00:46:00] And.
[00:46:00] And.
[00:46:01] And.
[00:46:01] The likes of him.
[00:46:03] Cornyn.
[00:46:04] Some of the.
[00:46:04] You know.
[00:46:05] Some.
[00:46:06] Some senators.
[00:46:06] That had.
[00:46:07] You know.
[00:46:07] Pretty negative things to say.
[00:46:09] About Trump in the past.
[00:46:10] And do.
[00:46:11] They do have six year terms.
[00:46:13] They have that kind of.
[00:46:14] You know.
[00:46:14] Staying power.
[00:46:16] They don't face the election.
[00:46:17] That often.
[00:46:17] They have that.
[00:46:19] Will they defund these agencies?
[00:46:22] I think all the Republican establishment.
[00:46:24] Understands the threat that the FBI poses to.
[00:46:27] Them.
[00:46:28] Their party.
[00:46:29] Right.
[00:46:31] Might.
[00:46:31] Might.
[00:46:32] Come down tonight.
[00:46:32] To.
[00:46:33] You know.
[00:46:33] How compromised is.
[00:46:34] Cornyn.
[00:46:35] And Thune.
[00:46:35] And others like him.
[00:46:36] By the FBI.
[00:46:38] Right now.
[00:46:40] Hopefully.
[00:46:41] Not.
[00:46:41] Not.
[00:46:42] To compromise.
[00:46:43] But.
[00:46:44] I guess.
[00:46:45] There's all.
[00:46:46] I don't know.
[00:46:47] Interesting battle.
[00:46:48] I'm not.
[00:46:48] Too big on.
[00:46:50] The political machinations.
[00:46:52] But at this point.
[00:46:53] I guess you got.
[00:46:53] Because it's pretty darn interesting.
[00:46:56] Seems like.
[00:46:57] Most of these folks.
[00:46:58] Are.
[00:46:59] Making it to the right spot.
[00:47:00] But.
[00:47:01] Proof in the pudding.
[00:47:01] If they get things done.
[00:47:04] And.
[00:47:05] Yeah.
[00:47:05] I guess.
[00:47:06] We'll be talking about.
[00:47:07] Any other thoughts on that?
[00:47:08] On Trump presidency.
[00:47:09] With that much.
[00:47:10] You know.
[00:47:10] About a.
[00:47:11] Week.
[00:47:12] After the election.
[00:47:13] And then otherwise.
[00:47:14] Are there any other big.
[00:47:16] Big articles you want to hit on.
[00:47:17] Before the night ends.
[00:47:19] Oh.
[00:47:20] There's definitely other articles.
[00:47:21] But.
[00:47:21] Last word on the Trump.
[00:47:24] Administration.
[00:47:25] Shaping up is.
[00:47:27] They don't.
[00:47:28] They don't seem like they're playing around.
[00:47:29] And.
[00:47:31] They look like they learned their lessons.
[00:47:34] Shouldn't be playing around.
[00:47:35] Trying to shoot.
[00:47:36] Their boss.
[00:47:38] Just.
[00:47:39] Four months ago.
[00:47:41] Hey.
[00:47:41] Four months ago.
[00:47:42] Literally today.
[00:47:43] It's the 13th of.
[00:47:44] November today.
[00:47:45] And it was the.
[00:47:46] July 13th.
[00:47:50] Crazy.
[00:47:51] Crazy.
[00:47:51] What do you think would happen if they.
[00:47:53] Had killed Trump at that time.
[00:47:56] Republicans would have lost.
[00:47:58] Pretty.
[00:47:59] I mean.
[00:47:59] Right.
[00:47:59] Pretty.
[00:48:00] Pretty obvious there.
[00:48:01] Or would.
[00:48:01] What would have occurred?
[00:48:04] No.
[00:48:05] No.
[00:48:06] Let's see.
[00:48:07] The.
[00:48:09] Republican convention.
[00:48:10] Hadn't happened yet.
[00:48:12] And.
[00:48:14] Unlike the Democrats.
[00:48:15] There would have been a.
[00:48:17] Contested convention.
[00:48:19] And.
[00:48:20] Who prevailed in that.
[00:48:22] Would.
[00:48:22] Would have made all the difference.
[00:48:24] And who won.
[00:48:25] So.
[00:48:26] Impossible.
[00:48:28] To.
[00:48:28] To.
[00:48:29] Speculate how they would have arrived at that.
[00:48:31] Candidate.
[00:48:31] But.
[00:48:32] Uh.
[00:48:34] That is literally.
[00:48:35] Neither here nor there.
[00:48:36] Because right here.
[00:48:37] Right now.
[00:48:37] It's.
[00:48:39] POTUS 47.
[00:48:40] I think it's here or there.
[00:48:41] Because we were like.
[00:48:42] One inch away.
[00:48:43] From SHTF level.
[00:48:44] So that's why you got to keep prepping every day.
[00:48:47] And also.
[00:48:47] I also feel like Trump's got at least a.
[00:48:50] 50-50 shot of another attempt on his life.
[00:48:53] In the next year.
[00:48:54] Is he currently under.
[00:48:55] Full secret service.
[00:48:57] Protection.
[00:48:58] And military airspace.
[00:49:00] Protection.
[00:49:00] So he doesn't get shot down by a SAM missile.
[00:49:02] What do you know about that?
[00:49:05] Well.
[00:49:06] He was under.
[00:49:07] Quote unquote.
[00:49:08] Full protection.
[00:49:09] At Butler.
[00:49:11] But it wasn't as full as it should have been.
[00:49:12] Right?
[00:49:13] At this point though.
[00:49:15] Where.
[00:49:16] Where are we at.
[00:49:17] With the.
[00:49:17] With the secret service.
[00:49:19] And their internal investigation.
[00:49:21] And.
[00:49:22] And.
[00:49:22] And reforms.
[00:49:23] Right?
[00:49:24] So.
[00:49:25] The things that are going to get revisited.
[00:49:27] In January.
[00:49:28] When the new Congress convenes.
[00:49:29] The hearings.
[00:49:30] The investigations.
[00:49:32] You know.
[00:49:33] From.
[00:49:34] From the executive branch.
[00:49:35] And from Congress.
[00:49:36] And this is a chance.
[00:49:38] To make a change.
[00:49:39] And if you see.
[00:49:41] It changed into something.
[00:49:43] Where it's.
[00:49:43] Becomes just.
[00:49:45] You know.
[00:49:47] Talking points.
[00:49:48] And.
[00:49:48] And rhetorical battles.
[00:49:50] To gain donations.
[00:49:51] Ahead of the.
[00:49:52] Midterms.
[00:49:53] Then.
[00:49:53] Then you know.
[00:49:54] Not much is going to change.
[00:49:56] But.
[00:49:57] Trump's nominating people that.
[00:49:59] Seem sure fired to.
[00:50:00] You know.
[00:50:01] Want to make a.
[00:50:01] Want to make a change.
[00:50:03] Right?
[00:50:03] So.
[00:50:04] Yeah.
[00:50:05] Time will tell.
[00:50:07] What else on the.
[00:50:08] Heat board.
[00:50:09] The dashboard.
[00:50:11] Piquing your interest.
[00:50:14] November 23rd.
[00:50:15] 2024.
[00:50:16] This evening.
[00:50:19] Housing market.
[00:50:20] I think.
[00:50:22] It's.
[00:50:23] At a minimum.
[00:50:24] Plateaued in.
[00:50:26] Desirable areas.
[00:50:27] And in certain areas.
[00:50:29] That have.
[00:50:29] Maybe overbuilt.
[00:50:30] Or are having issues.
[00:50:32] Getting insurance.
[00:50:33] And insurance skyrocketing.
[00:50:34] Like in Florida.
[00:50:35] Huge declines.
[00:50:37] So.
[00:50:38] With that.
[00:50:39] Turning over.
[00:50:40] And we already know.
[00:50:41] Commercial real estate.
[00:50:42] Is a stinker.
[00:50:44] Let's just say.
[00:50:45] There's some economic.
[00:50:46] Headwinds.
[00:50:47] I.
[00:50:47] I want to grow out of this.
[00:50:49] And I want to.
[00:50:50] Cut spending.
[00:50:51] And.
[00:50:52] Hey.
[00:50:52] I'm.
[00:50:53] I'm feeling somewhat.
[00:50:54] Almost positive.
[00:50:56] About.
[00:50:57] Being able to contain the debt bubble.
[00:51:00] But.
[00:51:00] I still know that's a hell of a battle.
[00:51:02] Even biggest Trump.
[00:51:04] Fans.
[00:51:04] Going to have to realize.
[00:51:05] It's going to be harder.
[00:51:06] Than you expect.
[00:51:08] Yeah.
[00:51:09] I'll help bring some.
[00:51:10] Sobriety to that.
[00:51:12] In the past few days.
[00:51:14] We set an all time.
[00:51:15] Single day.
[00:51:18] Debt.
[00:51:19] Accumulation record.
[00:51:20] 18 billion.
[00:51:21] In one day.
[00:51:22] One day.
[00:51:25] That's crazy.
[00:51:26] 18 billion.
[00:51:28] In one day.
[00:51:31] And.
[00:51:32] Two places I can look to.
[00:51:34] Where.
[00:51:35] You know.
[00:51:36] You.
[00:51:36] You can start to make the argument.
[00:51:38] That there's a chance to.
[00:51:39] You know.
[00:51:40] Outgrow this.
[00:51:41] You know.
[00:51:41] Forstall the reckoning.
[00:51:43] At least.
[00:51:46] Artificial intelligence.
[00:51:47] Revolution.
[00:51:47] Revolution.
[00:51:49] Advances in.
[00:51:51] Space exploration.
[00:51:52] Private.
[00:51:53] You know.
[00:51:54] You know.
[00:51:55] SpaceX.
[00:51:56] What we are able to do there.
[00:51:58] And what we're able to do to.
[00:52:00] You know.
[00:52:01] Potentially able to do.
[00:52:02] In terms of productivity.
[00:52:03] In the workplace.
[00:52:04] With artificial intelligence.
[00:52:06] You know.
[00:52:06] That.
[00:52:07] You know.
[00:52:08] Two examples of how.
[00:52:09] If 20 years from now.
[00:52:11] There's been no default.
[00:52:13] All the same problems.
[00:52:14] Probably still plague us.
[00:52:16] Because there was never.
[00:52:16] Any collapse.
[00:52:18] And fundamental reform.
[00:52:19] If you ever find yourself.
[00:52:21] In that.
[00:52:22] State of affairs.
[00:52:24] You for a long time.
[00:52:25] Have not.
[00:52:26] Thought that.
[00:52:27] That.
[00:52:27] The Ponzi scheme.
[00:52:28] The house of cars.
[00:52:29] Could go on.
[00:52:30] You know.
[00:52:30] Much longer.
[00:52:31] But.
[00:52:32] If it does.
[00:52:33] Ben.
[00:52:35] It's.
[00:52:35] It's going to be.
[00:52:36] From things like that.
[00:52:37] Just.
[00:52:38] Absolutely.
[00:52:39] You know.
[00:52:40] Revolutionary.
[00:52:42] You know.
[00:52:44] Industrial.
[00:52:46] You know.
[00:52:47] Innovations.
[00:52:48] That.
[00:52:49] Are exploited.
[00:52:51] To the maximum.
[00:52:52] In the United States.
[00:52:53] Of America.
[00:52:54] And I think that's what.
[00:52:54] Trump believes.
[00:52:55] That.
[00:52:56] You know.
[00:52:56] We are the country.
[00:52:57] That can do that.
[00:53:00] It's like we can.
[00:53:02] Keep getting those big gigs.
[00:53:04] Before we go bankrupt.
[00:53:06] We're right on the precipice.
[00:53:07] Every time.
[00:53:07] But then.
[00:53:08] We're the ones leading.
[00:53:09] That.
[00:53:10] That.
[00:53:10] That.
[00:53:12] Whether it's.
[00:53:13] Industrial space.
[00:53:14] Like you said.
[00:53:15] And.
[00:53:17] I like it.
[00:53:18] Artificial intelligence.
[00:53:20] That's why I think.
[00:53:21] I agree.
[00:53:22] If we can like.
[00:53:22] Pause.
[00:53:23] If we can just.
[00:53:24] Pause where we're at.
[00:53:26] Right now.
[00:53:26] Not let it get worse.
[00:53:28] For the next 10 years.
[00:53:30] Maybe we can kind of.
[00:53:31] Contain it.
[00:53:33] And grow past it.
[00:53:35] That's.
[00:53:35] That in and of itself.
[00:53:36] Is going to be super difficult.
[00:53:38] To even come close to.
[00:53:39] To pausing.
[00:53:41] Where it is.
[00:53:42] Whether that's.
[00:53:42] Real inflation.
[00:53:44] Not just the nominal.
[00:53:45] But the real.
[00:53:46] Inflation numbers.
[00:53:47] And growth.
[00:53:48] And or.
[00:53:49] The federal deficit.
[00:53:51] And all the.
[00:53:52] I mean.
[00:53:52] It's still a while.
[00:53:54] Until baby boomers.
[00:53:56] Even peak out.
[00:53:57] Their draws on.
[00:53:59] Social security.
[00:54:00] Medicare.
[00:54:00] Medicaid.
[00:54:01] All that.
[00:54:02] So there's a lot.
[00:54:03] Unfunded liabilities.
[00:54:04] To be paid out.
[00:54:05] More than 10 years from now.
[00:54:06] But again.
[00:54:07] I'm feeling almost.
[00:54:09] Almost.
[00:54:11] Almost optimistic.
[00:54:13] More than I've been.
[00:54:14] In seven years.
[00:54:15] We've been on Patriot Power Hour.
[00:54:16] I'll say that.
[00:54:19] Yeah.
[00:54:20] I mean.
[00:54:20] In the long run.
[00:54:21] There's a lot of vested interest in.
[00:54:24] Bringing about a reset.
[00:54:25] Right.
[00:54:27] And.
[00:54:28] Don't want to be a broken record.
[00:54:29] But I do think that.
[00:54:32] Late.
[00:54:34] 2027.
[00:54:35] Early.
[00:54:36] 2028.
[00:54:38] The end of Trump's.
[00:54:39] Trump's second term.
[00:54:42] There.
[00:54:43] Could be an economic reckoning.
[00:54:45] That's designed.
[00:54:47] To.
[00:54:48] Bring about.
[00:54:49] A return to Democrat power.
[00:54:51] In D.C.
[00:54:52] With an emergency.
[00:54:54] Necessary for.
[00:54:56] Their help fixing.
[00:54:58] And.
[00:54:59] The economic.
[00:55:01] Could just be part of.
[00:55:02] Something else.
[00:55:02] Whether that's.
[00:55:03] Massive war.
[00:55:04] Terror attack.
[00:55:05] Or I'm thinking.
[00:55:06] Another pandemic.
[00:55:07] COVID 2.0.
[00:55:09] All types of black swans.
[00:55:11] Etc.
[00:55:11] Etc.
[00:55:12] The economy could be the threat.
[00:55:13] By itself.
[00:55:14] Certainly.
[00:55:15] But.
[00:55:16] Almost any other.
[00:55:18] SHTF level event.
[00:55:19] Will.
[00:55:20] Also wreck the economy.
[00:55:22] Two for one.
[00:55:22] Or more.
[00:55:24] Yeah.
[00:55:25] Just a good old fashioned.
[00:55:26] All the banks.
[00:55:27] Collapse.
[00:55:28] Collapse.
[00:55:28] At the same time.
[00:55:30] For no.
[00:55:31] For no other reason.
[00:55:32] Than.
[00:55:33] They.
[00:55:34] They.
[00:55:34] They.
[00:55:34] Packaged derivatives.
[00:55:35] In a way.
[00:55:36] That.
[00:55:36] Finally got exposed.
[00:55:38] And.
[00:55:39] I've.
[00:55:40] Some people.
[00:55:40] Say I'm an accelerationist.
[00:55:42] In this regard.
[00:55:43] But.
[00:55:44] I think.
[00:55:44] In a good way.
[00:55:46] Not in a bad way.
[00:55:47] That'd be good.
[00:55:48] Let's.
[00:55:48] Exorcise.
[00:55:49] Exorcise.
[00:55:51] Those.
[00:55:52] Demons.
[00:55:52] Let's get the skeletons.
[00:55:53] Out of the closet.
[00:55:54] If we need to default.
[00:55:55] Or have a partial default.
[00:55:56] Who's better than Trump.
[00:55:58] Lead us through a real.
[00:55:59] National bankruptcy.
[00:56:00] And come out real nice.
[00:56:01] On the other end.
[00:56:02] I swear.
[00:56:02] I swear.
[00:56:03] Probably can't do it.
[00:56:04] Within a four year period.
[00:56:05] Probably not the political will.
[00:56:06] To do it.
[00:56:07] But.
[00:56:08] The current.
[00:56:10] Debt.
[00:56:11] Debt.
[00:56:11] Needs to be defaulted on.
[00:56:13] In one way or another.
[00:56:14] There's different ways to do it.
[00:56:15] Some better than others.
[00:56:17] You could.
[00:56:18] Also.
[00:56:18] You know.
[00:56:19] I.
[00:56:19] I'm a Bitcoin maximalist.
[00:56:21] I've been a fan since it was under a thousand bucks.
[00:56:25] If they really.
[00:56:26] Have a strategic reserve of Bitcoin.
[00:56:30] They could have.
[00:56:31] Before you know it.
[00:56:33] Almost enough to pay off the national debt.
[00:56:36] Maybe not.
[00:56:37] That's a lot of money.
[00:56:39] But they could at least.
[00:56:41] Bolster the national balance sheet.
[00:56:43] If we could.
[00:56:44] Get spending under control.
[00:56:47] Still have good revenue.
[00:56:49] But from smart tax policy.
[00:56:50] Where they're not offshoring.
[00:56:51] Hiding it all.
[00:56:53] Still getting decent revenue.
[00:56:54] But mostly tax cuts.
[00:56:56] To spur more growth.
[00:56:57] To get more taxes.
[00:56:58] If we can get on that cycle.
[00:57:02] Again.
[00:57:03] We could at least mitigate it.
[00:57:04] And come up with.
[00:57:05] Hopefully we'll have some.
[00:57:06] Golden age rate.
[00:57:07] All that.
[00:57:08] All that.
[00:57:08] So.
[00:57:09] Anyway.
[00:57:09] Still a long way to go.
[00:57:10] Even.
[00:57:11] Even.
[00:57:11] With.
[00:57:12] With that.
[00:57:12] Folks.
[00:57:14] Be very frugal.
[00:57:16] If you have the money.
[00:57:18] And keep prepping.
[00:57:19] Keep buying those real goods.
[00:57:21] They're not going to be.
[00:57:22] Cheaper.
[00:57:23] Than they are right now.
[00:57:24] I can guarantee you that.
[00:57:25] Every day goes by.
[00:57:27] Food.
[00:57:27] And other.
[00:57:28] Important.
[00:57:29] Commodities.
[00:57:30] Will be expensive.
[00:57:31] At least for the.
[00:57:32] Upcoming year or two.
[00:57:33] Even if Trump does everything perfect.
[00:57:34] It's going to take a while.
[00:57:35] To turn it around.
[00:57:35] I think.
[00:57:45] We.
[00:57:46] We.
[00:57:46] You know.
[00:57:46] We can make a difference.
[00:57:47] At least.
[00:57:47] We can start.
[00:57:52] Yep.
[00:57:52] But we know this.
[00:57:53] Therefore.
[00:57:54] We.
[00:57:54] We prep.
[00:57:56] Right.
[00:57:57] Right.
[00:57:58] I.
[00:57:59] I personally.
[00:58:00] Don't want to see.
[00:58:02] A collapse.
[00:58:04] Of anything like this.
[00:58:05] In my lifetime.
[00:58:06] Or my.
[00:58:06] Or.
[00:58:07] Or.
[00:58:07] Or.
[00:58:08] The next generation's lifetimes.
[00:58:09] I mean.
[00:58:10] This is bad news.
[00:58:11] This is not good.
[00:58:12] People will die.
[00:58:13] People will.
[00:58:14] Um.
[00:58:15] Become destitute.
[00:58:17] So.
[00:58:17] This is not something to be hoped for.
[00:58:19] Or.
[00:58:20] And.
[00:58:20] I don't resign.
[00:58:22] Myself to saying.
[00:58:23] It's inevitable.
[00:58:25] But.
[00:58:26] The existence of future danger.
[00:58:28] Is.
[00:58:28] Proof that I believe.
[00:58:30] It's highly possible.
[00:58:32] And has to be guarded against.
[00:58:34] So.
[00:58:34] Yeah.
[00:58:35] That's where we're at.
[00:58:35] What else is on the heat map.
[00:58:37] That's maybe uneconomically related.
[00:58:39] That.
[00:58:41] Causing you to.
[00:58:42] Take notice.
[00:58:44] The FBI coming out.
[00:58:46] Announcing.
[00:58:47] They stopped an Iranian plot.
[00:58:48] To assassinate Trump.
[00:58:49] Is that.
[00:58:50] That was.
[00:58:52] Big news.
[00:58:53] That didn't really make as much highlights.
[00:58:55] As you think it would be.
[00:58:57] If 20 years ago.
[00:58:58] They said they stopped.
[00:58:59] A plot.
[00:59:00] To assassinate.
[00:59:01] George W.
[00:59:02] Bush.
[00:59:02] Like.
[00:59:03] We already attacked.
[00:59:05] Obviously Iraq.
[00:59:05] But we would have attacked them faster.
[00:59:07] I think.
[00:59:08] If it was Iraq.
[00:59:10] If it was Iran.
[00:59:11] Probably would have attacked them.
[00:59:12] If they tried to.
[00:59:13] If this came out.
[00:59:14] And it would have been.
[00:59:15] News for.
[00:59:16] For a while.
[00:59:16] I felt like this was.
[00:59:17] Maybe it's just caught up with the whole election thing.
[00:59:20] But.
[00:59:21] FBI admits.
[00:59:23] What do you think on that?
[00:59:26] Well.
[00:59:27] You know.
[00:59:28] Historically.
[00:59:28] When.
[00:59:29] George W.
[00:59:30] Bush.
[00:59:31] Justified the evasion of Iraq.
[00:59:33] He.
[00:59:33] He gave a lot of reasons.
[00:59:36] He gave a speech.
[00:59:37] He listed a lot of reasons.
[00:59:39] And.
[00:59:39] Um.
[00:59:41] One of them was.
[00:59:42] Was definitely that.
[00:59:43] You know.
[00:59:44] After his.
[00:59:44] During the Clinton presidency.
[00:59:46] That.
[00:59:46] That the Iraqis.
[00:59:48] Had.
[00:59:48] Had.
[00:59:49] Schemed to assassinate his father.
[00:59:51] So.
[00:59:53] Yeah.
[00:59:54] That was one of those justifications.
[00:59:55] In George W.
[00:59:56] Bush's minds.
[00:59:57] For.
[00:59:57] For.
[00:59:58] For taking out Saddam.
[00:59:58] Of course.
[01:00:00] The Iranians want to.
[01:00:03] Kill Trump.
[01:00:04] Because he.
[01:00:06] Took out.
[01:00:07] Soleimani.
[01:00:09] So.
[01:00:10] Here's.
[01:00:10] Here's.
[01:00:11] Here's just one.
[01:00:11] One more of those.
[01:00:13] Conundrums.
[01:00:14] Trump campaigned on.
[01:00:16] You know.
[01:00:16] There weren't any wars.
[01:00:17] First.
[01:00:17] During his first presidency.
[01:00:18] He's going to end the.
[01:00:19] The needless wars.
[01:00:21] On the other hand.
[01:00:23] Anticipate.
[01:00:24] Some special operations.
[01:00:28] In.
[01:00:28] In next year.
[01:00:30] And it's going to be targeted to.
[01:00:31] Iranians.
[01:00:33] And.
[01:00:34] Um.
[01:00:35] Very likely.
[01:00:36] Mexican drug cartels.
[01:00:38] Maybe that's why Israel's holding off.
[01:00:41] From.
[01:00:41] Attacking.
[01:00:43] Iran.
[01:00:43] Properly.
[01:00:44] All right.
[01:00:44] If we just wait six more months.
[01:00:46] We can have.
[01:00:46] Really have.
[01:00:48] America.
[01:00:48] Side by side.
[01:00:49] I don't.
[01:00:50] Really.
[01:00:51] Support that.
[01:00:52] But Trump is gung ho.
[01:00:53] To go after Iran.
[01:00:54] Even before this news.
[01:00:55] The FBI stopped in this recent plot.
[01:00:58] After.
[01:00:59] Shortly after his July.
[01:01:02] Attempt on his life.
[01:01:04] It was.
[01:01:04] Came out that Iran.
[01:01:06] Might be involved with.
[01:01:07] Future attacks.
[01:01:08] Or.
[01:01:08] Assassination attempts.
[01:01:09] Maybe even.
[01:01:10] In Butler.
[01:01:12] Yeah.
[01:01:13] He's not a fan of Iran.
[01:01:14] He said it.
[01:01:15] Uh.
[01:01:16] Israel.
[01:01:17] A lot of people thought they would have attacked.
[01:01:19] Before.
[01:01:19] Before the election.
[01:01:20] But they didn't.
[01:01:21] I think they're.
[01:01:21] I think they're waiting.
[01:01:23] For.
[01:01:23] To go side by side.
[01:01:24] With Trump there.
[01:01:26] I'd probably decide they don't need to.
[01:01:31] Then.
[01:01:32] Then.
[01:01:32] Why didn't they attack before?
[01:01:33] Or maybe.
[01:01:33] Maybe it's still an offing.
[01:01:35] Soon.
[01:01:36] For all we know.
[01:01:37] I mean.
[01:01:37] I think they.
[01:01:38] I think.
[01:01:38] I think they pretty much.
[01:01:40] told the Iranians.
[01:01:41] That their entire.
[01:01:42] Oil infrastructure.
[01:01:44] Held at risk.
[01:01:46] And.
[01:01:46] If they destroyed that.
[01:01:49] The.
[01:01:49] You know.
[01:01:50] Stability of the Iranian regime.
[01:01:52] Right.
[01:01:52] When it.
[01:01:53] Right.
[01:01:53] When it.
[01:01:53] No longer feed its people.
[01:01:55] Right.
[01:01:55] So.
[01:01:56] Regime change.
[01:01:57] In Tehran.
[01:01:58] Would be of strategic.
[01:02:00] Value.
[01:02:01] To Israel.
[01:02:02] Right.
[01:02:03] So.
[01:02:04] You know.
[01:02:05] It's the Middle East.
[01:02:06] There's.
[01:02:06] A lot going on there.
[01:02:08] That United States of America.
[01:02:09] Does not control.
[01:02:10] Never.
[01:02:11] Can control.
[01:02:12] Right.
[01:02:15] Yeah.
[01:02:16] I mean.
[01:02:19] Bolton.
[01:02:20] John Bolton.
[01:02:21] Was in the first.
[01:02:22] Trump presidency.
[01:02:23] You know.
[01:02:23] Quintessential.
[01:02:26] Neocon.
[01:02:27] Right.
[01:02:27] And he was pushing.
[01:02:29] At one point.
[01:02:30] For us to strike Iran.
[01:02:32] And.
[01:02:32] You know.
[01:02:33] By Trump's own account.
[01:02:34] It was close.
[01:02:35] Until.
[01:02:36] You know.
[01:02:36] Trump called it off.
[01:02:38] So.
[01:02:39] Yeah.
[01:02:39] I think it would be targeted.
[01:02:41] Special operations.
[01:02:42] To.
[01:02:43] Take out Iranian leadership.
[01:02:44] Send a message.
[01:02:46] Have a payback.
[01:02:47] For.
[01:02:47] For attempting to assassinate him.
[01:02:49] While he's running for president.
[01:02:51] But.
[01:02:51] More than that.
[01:02:52] I'm not sure.
[01:02:54] You know.
[01:02:54] That's not Trump's focus.
[01:02:56] He doesn't want to be a wartime president.
[01:02:59] Do you believe.
[01:03:01] The FBI.
[01:03:01] That.
[01:03:02] Or do you think this is some fake story.
[01:03:04] They concocted.
[01:03:06] To cover.
[01:03:07] Or make everyone.
[01:03:08] Oh.
[01:03:09] I tried it in July.
[01:03:10] It wasn't internal.
[01:03:13] Well.
[01:03:13] Some of the people they arrested are American citizens.
[01:03:15] So.
[01:03:15] We're going to find out.
[01:03:16] Whether they're.
[01:03:18] You know.
[01:03:18] Trials are.
[01:03:19] You know.
[01:03:20] National security related.
[01:03:22] You know.
[01:03:22] Heavily redacted.
[01:03:24] Like.
[01:03:24] Basically secret trials.
[01:03:27] That's a good question.
[01:03:29] Right.
[01:03:29] But.
[01:03:30] For the FBI to do this.
[01:03:33] You know.
[01:03:33] One could innocently argument.
[01:03:35] Argue that.
[01:03:36] At some level.
[01:03:36] The FBI.
[01:03:37] People were doing their job.
[01:03:38] Right.
[01:03:40] But.
[01:03:41] I think most of what they've done in the last.
[01:03:43] Four to eight years has shown that.
[01:03:45] You know.
[01:03:46] You just can't trust them.
[01:03:48] At all.
[01:03:48] And I personally advocate for abolishing the FBI.
[01:03:52] But.
[01:03:53] With that.
[01:03:54] So with that.
[01:03:55] Jaded point of view.
[01:03:57] I'm wondering if that's a move.
[01:04:00] By the deep state.
[01:04:01] To try to lure Trump into a war.
[01:04:03] That would.
[01:04:03] End up being.
[01:04:05] You know.
[01:04:06] Harmful to his presidency.
[01:04:08] And.
[01:04:09] You know.
[01:04:10] 4D chess.
[01:04:12] I'd have to guess he's.
[01:04:14] Aware of that too.
[01:04:17] Certainly.
[01:04:18] Hey.
[01:04:19] 3D chess against Captain Kirk.
[01:04:21] And Mr. Spock's tough enough.
[01:04:23] Tough enough.
[01:04:24] 4D chess against Trump.
[01:04:26] Oh man.
[01:04:26] You're going against the goat.
[01:04:28] That's about it.
[01:04:29] That's.
[01:04:29] I don't have too much else.
[01:04:30] Unless you want to talk about.
[01:04:32] Turbo cancers.
[01:04:33] And vaccines.
[01:04:34] And forever chemicals.
[01:04:35] Some more.
[01:04:36] You know.
[01:04:37] Not much else to say about that.
[01:04:39] I really hope.
[01:04:40] RFK.
[01:04:41] And others.
[01:04:41] Do some damage.
[01:04:43] Against.
[01:04:44] Those that are poisoning.
[01:04:46] Ourselves.
[01:04:47] And future generations.
[01:04:48] For sure.
[01:04:50] He has a chance to expose.
[01:04:51] As much as Matt Gaetz.
[01:04:52] Does.
[01:04:53] At the Department of Justice.
[01:04:54] As much as.
[01:04:55] Pete Eggsept.
[01:04:57] Does.
[01:04:57] At DOD.
[01:04:58] So.
[01:04:59] Stay tuned.
[01:05:00] But.
[01:05:00] What I would say is.
[01:05:02] These things might seem.
[01:05:03] In the short run.
[01:05:05] Positive.
[01:05:07] And.
[01:05:07] And.
[01:05:08] And.
[01:05:08] And bring.
[01:05:08] Safety and security.
[01:05:10] To our.
[01:05:10] Republic.
[01:05:12] If done in the wrong way.
[01:05:14] They.
[01:05:15] Also could be.
[01:05:16] Highly.
[01:05:17] Destabilizing.
[01:05:18] Right.
[01:05:18] So.
[01:05:19] So we watch.
[01:05:21] And we prep.
[01:05:22] We stay.
[01:05:23] Stay vigilant.
[01:05:24] It's what we do on Patriot Power Hour.
[01:05:26] This.
[01:05:27] November.
[01:05:28] 13th.
[01:05:29] 2024.
