Patriot Power Hour #297 - Winter 2025 Finale Ukraine, Tariffs, Recession Outlook & More

[00:00:03] What do you want? Statement of purpose? Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? You decide your own level of involvement! We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:01:20] And the editor of FutureDanger.com We are live, Episode 297 of Patriot Power Hour, broadcasting live on Wednesday, March 5th on the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Joining me on this fresh edition of our amateur podcast is Ben, the Breaker of Banksters.

[00:01:48] And as a caveat at the beginning of this show, I am producing this show live in studio. So, technical errors are on me tonight, but I'm doing this for the first time. How you doing Ben? Doing great. We've got a hell of a lot to talk about. Really excited to bring Patriot Power to that next level. And we've started so far this year, but getting you trained up so we can both be producers and hosts at the same time, essentially is our goal.

[00:02:15] So, this is the season finale. We're going to take next week off and come back in late March. Well, Future Dan, we've got a video to start the night. I think it's Trump dunking on some Democrats. Yeah, that's what the... See if you get that working for us. That's the first task. I don't know if it was a state... It's not called the State of the Union, because he hasn't been in term for a year. Right. It was just the joint session.

[00:02:43] So, it's a presidential addressing the joint session at Congress. But, so, help me through this. Am I presenting this screen? I'm going to run a little video. Is this playing? Go for it. It should play this. So, what do you think? This is what essentially Trump did all night to the Democrats. What were some of the dunks you listened to last night that were most salient for our future?

[00:03:08] I... Probably the crescendo was when he just pointed out all the successes and the fact that those people, and you point right at the Democrats, will not stand up for these successes no matter what. Then, of course, brought in, you know, a couple people that had family members killed by illegal immigrants, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:03:30] And Democrats are over there pouting while everyone else is having either a touching moment with the, you know, a couple of that, those... Jordan. And anyway, but that was kind of like the crescendo leading up to that was just victory after victory, dunk after dunk. He did. That's what he's doing to him. It's all backed up, too. It's not superfluous. It's not BS. It's all stuff that's happened in the last, like, 30, 40 days. He would...

[00:03:57] Boom! There's... That was that Jordan dunk right there. Yep. 1988 slam dunk contest with some of the greats. First contest, I believe, that they ever did that. So, that's what Trump was doing last night. He would speak sometimes at the Republican caucus and then sometimes to the Democrats, who all sat all the way through,

[00:04:20] and occasionally just point at him, like, right across in front of him and point at him and talk about, you know, things that he's achieved. So, nothing like that I've ever seen. But last week we did not broadcast. Obviously, everybody's talking about what happened in the Oval Office with the Vice President. Right. And the President just going at Zelensky and back and forth. So, incredible times. Incredible times.

[00:04:53] Well, what I like is that it wasn't just fluff and it wasn't just trash talking. Each point he made is backed up by real action, whether it's doge saving money, whether it's closing down the border, whether it's tariffs. We got a lot of time. I want to talk about all those topics and more and, of course, the news blitz. But that's what I'm loving. Trump's always been pretty funny and, yes, stick it to these scumbags.

[00:05:20] But the fact that there's actually solid action behind it and this Trump 2.0, I'm loving it definitely a lot better than last administration. We talked about why he's evolved and also I have a feeling, you know, almost being shot or I mean being shot and almost being killed may have hardened him a little further.

[00:05:40] Yeah. Four years to figure out what he'd do next when he got power again helped to the biggest dunk of the night that I saw was just explaining how closing the border reduced the contacts with illegal border crossers down to all time record. Low of 8000 right in just the time the first month he's in office.

[00:06:07] And he said, you know, remember the arguments that were being made that there has to be immigration reform. There has to be changes to the law and the Democrats were just absolutely locked in on the only changes that can be made or if there's a new compromise bill passed. And he just pointed at him and dunked right on him and said, all it took is a new president. So things can be done. Yeah. What about tariffs? Got another video for that.

[00:06:39] So tariffs. First week into office, we played the Godzilla videos. This is Trump on Wall Street right now with tariffs. Yep. There they go. The banksters, you know, running into the hotels, crashing their cars because he's ripping the place apart with a change every 20 minutes on what country is going to get hit with what percent.

[00:07:06] Yeah. That might be Justin Trudeau right, right there. I think that was Justin Trudeau in King Kong's mouth. Yeah. So what do we think about the turmoil on Wall Street as Kong Trump Congo stomping through? Well, so far, the art of the deal is is prevailing and. And they'll have the hit pieces about, oh, Trump proposes these outlandish deals.

[00:07:35] It'll totally backfire two days later. The opposition folds and acquiesces and, you know, it's still early in the game, but Trump seems to be steamrolling his foreign counterparts just as much as his domestic. But he should. He understands he has the cards. If we're going back to the Zelensky thing from economic standpoint, America has the cards because we buy all these countries stuff.

[00:08:02] If we stop or we put a tariff that just matches the tariff being put on our goods, it is really going to screw those leaders over. And long story short, they know Trump isn't messing around. So once he actually puts it in place, then then they come to the bargaining table with the bargaining table with their tail between their legs. All right. So this is a training episode. Help me get to the future danger. Yeah. All right.

[00:08:30] Comments. Text dad. I can't see anything on the screen. It's too small. Damn. Well, we're trying and. And right there. Where do we go to get anything showing on the screen? I don't know. I was not able to see your shared screen. Obviously presenting and I'm going to. Share screen at the bottom.

[00:08:56] You need to really need to probably just share the entire screen at this point. Yeah, I'll take it. Let's see here. Start screen present share screen entire screen screen. There you go. Now you got the mirror universe going on here. I think folks are getting to see a little glimpse of the back end.

[00:09:25] I'm dealing with the movement over there. Otherwise, you're going to get the screen of death. Let's go ahead and do that. Give them give them some commentary. They can't hear me. Or the radio right now. That's all right. We're up. We're running. Those are good videos that we saw. Anyways, we watched the 1988 dunk contest as Trump was dunking on Democrats and King Kong ripping apart New York, but no one got to see that. Hey, we don't know unless we try. Yeah.

[00:09:53] So Trump imposes tariffs on Mexico is what we're talking about. And Wall Street going, you know, into panic mode. Really? I do a fair share of listening to Bloomberg radio. Right. Just to keep an eye on what they're saying about markets and all the, you know, the various Wall Street experts that they have on their guest shows pitching, you know, the likelihood of recession.

[00:10:19] What do you think the likelihood of recession or what you're seeing with these tariffs moves might actually be bad? I think that's something Trump talked about a bit last night was there will be a little bit of a disturbance. I forgot the exact words. Maybe it was that with the tariffs and which is general policy. You know, it'll be a little rocky for a little bit, but then it's going to be great afterwards, essentially, is what he says.

[00:10:43] And, you know, if you're going to cut several hundred thousand workers, that's going to cause a little bit of a recession in the short term. Of course, coming closer to balancing the budget and coming close to saving all that money with Doge, maybe even cutting taxes. That'll boost the economy in the mid and long term. But yeah, in the short term, people get laid off immediately, especially in certain areas.

[00:11:10] I would expect wherever there's more government workers getting laid off, that regional economy could be hurt worse. But again, that'll be offset in pretty quickly by lower taxes, hopefully less corruption. Well, you know, we'll see what Congress actually does with that part, though. But coming back to just the recession, if there's a recession, a Trump recession going ahead, there's going to be, you know, that's important for midterms.

[00:11:39] If Trump loses either house, everything he's trying to get done gets blocked. He'll never achieve it. So recession 2025. That's what they're whispering. But does Trump want that to get the Fed to cut rates for one quarter before it all comes roaring back on, you know, significant growth quarters on GDP?

[00:12:03] Well, I posted this on X and tagged you and Pepper Broadcasting Network. So shout out, of course, to PBN on X, Pepper Broadcasting Network. Gosh, this is a few days ago. Maybe you'll be able to find the post. If not, pretty much saying, look, we, oh, my gosh, I lost my train of thought. About recession, man. Yeah, but what were you posting?

[00:12:31] Oh, no, it's the GDP, the negative Atlanta GDP. That's what it is. They, okay. The GDP figure, the estimate for Q1, or actually it's the end of 2024 for the Atlanta Fed was supposed to be positive, like 1.5, 2%. In the last month, they're now projecting it to be negative 1 or 2%, which is recession. So there's been a huge negative swing in the GDP prediction.

[00:13:01] And the real number will come out pretty soon. I don't know exactly when. That's what I meant to go to. And I went down the rabbit hole. Don't go looking for the tweet. It's not worth it. But anyway, I interacted with you and Pepper Broadcasting Network saying that they, meaning the Fed and the banksters, whomever, will actually, you know, manipulate the unemployment data against Trump. Whereas in the past, they were manipulating the data in favor of Biden, right?

[00:13:31] By the way, you just, you shared everything right there. I know I am. It's a training episode. I think, I think we had a caveat. I don't have any secret Bitcoin addresses in my, the word I use is caveat at the beginning of the show. This is a training exercise. It's a live, live broadcast. It's a live, live broadcast. But in order to get it done and learned on this side of the microphone, I need performance oriented. And it's a lot more fun to do it live.

[00:13:57] Even if people learn that we're learning, then, you know, rehearsing this by ourselves. Well, you don't share my bank account. Where, where's that at? Not on these files? Not on this computer. So, won't be able to share anything. Safe and sound. Safe and sound. Anyway. Just want to make sure you knew it.

[00:14:14] But all considered, even if there isn't a recession or things start to go in the right direction, I expect the financial press, the banksters to try to sabotage the numbers, if not the economy itself. Um, but hey, I do feel like a lot of Wall Street banksters actually want Trump to succeed. So that's going to be interesting.

[00:14:38] Trump, of course, once the rates lowered, someone was, I watched like a nice 10 minute video about how they were saying Trump might be okay with sacrificing some of, uh, the stock market growth in order to be able to lower rates back to very low levels. He loves lower interest rates. Like he wants them low, almost not all costs at all costs.

[00:15:04] But like you were saying, maybe he wouldn't mind a recession so he can get the lower rate. Sure. That's pretty much what this other person was saying in a different way. Well, here's the ultimate plan. Maybe. Right. Uh, the inflation that would be caused by running at low interest rates again, during his term, get ready for a $250 bill. We're going to need it. The $250 bill with Trump. I think it should be a 500. I was going to say 500. Just make it 500. Yeah. Cause we've got $1 bills and $5 bills.

[00:15:34] Yeah. 100 and 500. We're getting there. And honestly, I've done the math and there's a lot of proof of it as well. Since about 1913, when income tax and federal reserve started up, it's been about a hundred X increase in inflation. So what used to cost a dollar now costs a hundred dollars for real compared to 1913. So anyway, $500 bill is the old $5 bill from, you know, 110 years ago.

[00:16:03] Now, if, if, if there is ever a $500 Trump bill because of runaway inflation, but also runaway growth. Yeah. Where's that lead us? I guess it's a wash. I like it because it's cash pro cash, not all digital currency. That in of itself is a positive name. He wiped out the penny, but my little white about the nickel and the dot, you know, just right up to the closest dollar at this point.

[00:16:30] I honestly don't care about anything less than 99 cents. Practically. I know it adds up if you, you know, every transaction, but I would. I wish that was the only rounding error we had to worry about with doge, but wow, they're finding some more and more corruption, more than a hundred billion dollars saved. That's just to date, let alone recurring fees and new things going forward. So that's good again, though. That's a hundred billions of hell, a lot of money, but that's like what?

[00:17:00] 5% of our annual deficit. It's not much. Right. Ready for the heat map dashboard. Let's do it. All right. And we'll just look at one of the articles, but here's your heat map news blitz for March 5th.

[00:17:17] When 2025 live in studio picture power hour, episode two 97 column one New York FBI field office head forced out days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents. That's old news. That's old news. Just a few days ago. A.G.

[00:17:38] Bondi says she received truckload of hidden Epstein documents from Southern District of New York, where essentially the FBI may have had to raid the FBI more to follow. In fact, it's been a little bit silent. And Trump never mentioned this in his address to Congress. Also column one security or correction, liberty related news.

[00:18:05] Mississippi Judge Ben orders newspaper to remove editorial criticizing city council proposed Idaho bill would make knowingly spreading quote false information of felony. See these bills showing up in red states to this certainly unconstitutional. I got to pick something real quick. If you look over there, this is a training session. Look to your left. You'll see that it's kind of messed up.

[00:18:33] I'll fix it hard to explain, but we'll just show everybody. Hey, there's all these stupid things in these bottom. I don't know what the hell they are, what the point of them are. I don't like them. You gotta find the one that doesn't have us. No, that's the issue. We want to get rid of that stupid thing. I had a. This is now become a joint training session.

[00:19:02] Yeah, cinema layout. You gotta remember to go to cinema layout. Okay. I'll keep that in mind now that I've first time I've ever seen it. Yes. Should be gone on this now. See watching a dual monitor in the studio. We're watching to see if it actually catches up what we're looking at. There we go. We're good.

[00:19:23] And that was almost column one because the last piece of news congresswoman declares president and enemy to the United States political opponents are officially vilified. Right in his grade level one, low level because she's a junior congresswoman, but still. Call him to international security news and domestic security news.

[00:19:47] Striker brigade combat team Ben and a general support aviation battalion deployed to the southern border. So basically, but we'll be able to. We'll be able to.

[00:20:01] We'll be able to. We'll be able to. You know even the host of the US in the community, a lot of security тяжело, but not everybody. These are the issues that are also important as they are in the front lines of the United States. We're going to meet this community. And a lot of people have a fight for this activity. I think.

[00:20:29] I've heard reports of Democrats that there, you know, every day having all types of strikes and attacks and firefights with cartels. And then the Mexico government hand over a lot of leadership. And that's a big part of Trump's tariffs is not just economic. It's you got to stop these caravans, but you also got to stop these freaking cartels from being so crazy.

[00:20:54] Yeah, I assume my cursor is highlighting these two indicators right across the heat map directly tied. This is what you're talking about because we're jumping to column three in a minute. Onwards with the blitz of the news. FBI informant made nearly six hundred sixty six thousand six six six thousand dollars posing as a terrorist. Government fosters terrorists to prosecute false flag exposed.

[00:21:21] Private investigator says Thomas Crooks did not act alone. The other foot is going to drop on that. Trump hinted to beyond beyond the A.G. Beyond at the joint session. You know, you got a lot of work cut out for you. He called out his second his cabinet secretaries in a couple of ways that are interesting. We can talk about. Yeah. And China just, you know, last 24 hours says it's ready for any kind of war with America.

[00:21:49] Sec Def responded that we are prepared to call three economic news starting to get more headlines than we have in recent weeks. First quarter is on track for negative GDP growth going to Atlanta Fed. Trump imposes tariffs. We showed that article earlier. Publicly traded. Structured credit. You're going to have to break that down for us. Hit record levels in 2024. Eight consecutive record weeks for the gold.

[00:22:17] Sends warning signals about paper assets. Going to need your interpretation of that one too. Bankster breaker. Calm for natural and scientific threats. We've got wildfires in South Carolina, especially. It's an emergency. This headline is a few days old, so it may be far more acreage burned. The Department of Agriculture has a plan to combat bird flu, Ben.

[00:22:44] And it could involve introducing mRNA vaccines into the food supply. RFK Jr. does not have a purview over the Department of Agriculture, so that could be interesting. That's your heat map dashboard. News Blitz. March 5th, 2025. Where shall we go from here? It is pretty well-rounded.

[00:23:08] Don't see any COVID news or any other sorts in that, which is great. Because, you know, about this time of the year. Five years ago is when it really kicked off. But otherwise, we have a lot of topics to get through. I do see TextDat86 says, Who decides what false information is? How do they plan on proving the intent? Hence, maybe we can trace back to the article that spurred that and cover that one first.

[00:23:36] Yeah, but the answer, I think, will be... No one can answer that question, so it's unconstitutional. And the first court it gets to should strike it down for violating freedom of the press. I like it. And freedom of speech. This is a proposed bill in Idaho. Yeah, it probably won't pass. But the fact that that gets proposed in America in 2025 is...

[00:24:07] That's, you know, the nascent danger. Sure. And bad enough it was in Massachusetts or something or California, but in Idaho of all places. So they're being taken over too. Yeah, there you go. So no one can decide what false information is because... We have the First Amendment in America. TextDat86. That's what I think. Interested in this direction we're going with the Epstein files?

[00:24:40] Well... This guy. If people don't go to jail, and I mean a lot of prominent people, then it's not really much of anything. And it doesn't seem like it's going that way yet. Well, ghost trials, you know, getting further than perhaps we should. How about charged? That would be a good start. Stand trial. That, to me, is like the American way to describe it. Like, people need to stand trial and get fair trials. Yeah.

[00:25:10] Oh, well... Pre-judging it. Like, where is the evidence, right? Well, there's at least one guilty person out there that needs to be going to jail, and no one is. There's probably dozens and dozens. Just laying. She is in jail. Wow. Last I heard. Still alive in jail, last I heard. I guess the Johns don't get in jail. Maybe James Denny needs to go to jail. He basically told his people... Dig in.

[00:25:37] Dig in and not cooperate with the President of the United States. Well, going back to Epstein real quick, it is good that they very quickly said, hey, we don't really have any information here in D.C. It's all up in the Southern District of New York. What the hell? And there was kind of... They had to all intents raid them or kind of, you know, show up and be like, yo, we know you have it in there. Hand it over. That was good.

[00:26:05] What I didn't like is the first day when nothing really came out and they had all those binders that were like phase one and all these people were up like smiling for a photo op. I'm like, give me a break. It's pathetic. First off, it's not subject to really be like smiling and be shown on your TikTok and stuff. These are like content creators, I think. Like us, but not like us. They're on, you know, whatever. Point is, it wasn't even... It wasn't even much information.

[00:26:35] Hopefully, they're working the process. It's still very early. Like Cash Patel only got in there like a week and a half ago or less or a week ago. Hey, man. Training opportunity. Might need to give these sites permission to show articles. Do I have an ad block up? Yeah, you do. Amateur podcasting requires live training. Sorry, audience, but we're learning. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:27:02] So Southern District of New York, supposedly a truckload. Wonder what they got. Maybe they're all permanently redacted. There's no original copies anymore. Let's talk about Ukraine, even though it's not on here. Oh, yeah. So what do you think is going on with Russia right now? What are they thinking? What are they doing? They are very happy that Harris did not win. I know that.

[00:27:32] No, I'm talking like in the last 48 hours or the last. No. Since the Zelensky meltdown. What's their strategic point of view in your estimate? If I were them, I would be more on edge because it's such a volatile situation. What is Zelensky in there? But I'd also be happy, like I said, on the other hand, that Trump's there, not Harris or Biden.

[00:28:01] Maybe Trump can prevent craziness. It seems like Europe's on their own trying to just provoke war 110%. Trump's trying to put the brakes on it. Zelensky's just a freaking drug addict, crazy man, it seems. And if I was Russia, I'd be like, I don't trust Ukraine. Never did. And it seems like Zelensky's back in the corner.

[00:28:24] If I were Russia, I'd be really looking to be blamed by Ukraine and or Europe for a false flag of some sort. That's what I'd be worried about, getting blamed. I don't see them really. They're not launching attacks. They're not on offensive. It's not a ceasefire. There's daily activity.

[00:28:53] Here's perhaps a live UA map. This is the Ukrainians released. Yeah. So reporting front lines. So they're still fighting. February 27th right here. That's 23. They already took back moves. They did, didn't they? Yeah. Yeah. They're still fighting pretty hard right now. So for the audience, we're getting to the point. Talk to the traffic commander tonight. Where I'm going to be able to share screen.

[00:29:22] And we're going to be able to work off of PCs and separate stations. And I got all kinds of Twitter accounts that have the latest in the fight on that front. But I don't see headlines of major attacks. So they're not ceasefire, but they're not pressing the issue. And they're sitting back letting everything in Europe, Ukraine, and the United States play out. Being relatively, you know, subdued.

[00:29:52] So, you know, I think they're doing their part to get an end of the war. Because at this point, they know they're keeping the Donbass and Crimea. Right. They want an end of the war for sure. I would expect that. They got what they wanted. They've already been punching the mouth a lot. They'd rather just be like, all right, keep what we have. Don't put NATO forces in Ukraine, in Western Ukraine. The Western two-thirds that would stay Ukraine in the proposed deal.

[00:30:23] But pretty much Europe and Zelensky too are like, no way. Like, first off, not only do we not want to make that demilitarized, we want U.S. troops there as peacekeepers. And that's obviously where Trump, that's actually where Trump kind of went a little, you know, really showed Zelensky he's just a puppet and went too far. That's where Trump got pissed at him. And he was like, look, we're not going to send our people in there.

[00:30:53] We're not giving you direct security agreement and guarantees right now if you won't even do basic economic trade deal as the basis. How about this? I did that part right. There you go. So I got an idea. If the mineral deals doesn't get signed, I'm zooming in. I haven't done this yet. On the border of Ukraine, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania.

[00:31:24] See that? Kind of four places where Ukraine has a land border with those four countries. Right. Moldova. Plan B for Trump could be just, if we can't get the mineral deals signed and they don't feel the Ukrainians need a better security guarantee, guarantee. Why don't they cede that territory to the United States of America and make Fort Trump? No. Why not? They wouldn't.

[00:31:51] Sounds more reasonable to me than Gaza Largo. That's also not very likely. But. I just want to zoom in and look at the terrain a little bit. I'm talking about a big installation. That would be. Like a Maginot line. Nothing. Nothing that the Russians would ever want to take over. They'd never get that far.

[00:32:14] And we would pre-position and stock everything so that the Ukrainian government that I don't necessarily trust, whatever peace is negotiated, to not have elements that are just still so enraged that they wouldn't want to, you know, start fights on the border. Because otherwise, you know, you could do Fort Trump and give us access and, you know, directly land access to four different NATO partners.

[00:32:42] In the event that NATO ever split, we'd still have a relationship, most likely with one or more of them to access the territory with flyover rights, etc. The economic development would be a significant thing. Forgiving all of Ukraine's debt and also putting to work to rebuild, you know, a significant workforce on Fort Trump. Would it be a big installation?

[00:33:12] It'd be permanent. It would be like essentially what we had to do at the end of the World War I or two with the occupation, occupation and the war. Right. Germany was occupied, still has bases that we've had since the last day of World War II. This would be a way to lock down Ukraine. Ukraine would never have to join NATO because that territory would be sovereign U.S. territory.

[00:33:41] If it was actually ceded to the United States, like Guantanamo Bay. And this would be like... Or a lease, a hundred-year lease would be fine. There you go. Okay. Make a little more sense. So it's along the Ukrainian border with Poland and Hungary or Romania. There's other three or four countries. Maybe it's, you know, several installations along the full line. Or I mean, this is like a 400-mile border.

[00:34:11] Well, the Ukrainians would have to guard it. Right. And Ukraine would be to the east of it. So they would, in theory, take the brunt of a Russian invasion and then a counterattack could be staged from Fort Trump. Is that what you're saying? So it would kind of be the wall to Europe. That would be a tripwire. The Russians would never dare take another inch of Ukraine territory. Yeah. Right. There you go.

[00:34:34] The missile defense that could be established there would be, you know, just negotiating with the Russians that, you know, we would never put our best missile defense there. That would be a real threat to them. Right? In fact, it would be a, you know, a proposal that they could never accept.

[00:34:53] They would, if they thought that if the war kept going on, this will happen without their, without them having a say, it would be a massive bargaining chip. Forget minerals. Why are we, why do we even care about Ukrainian minerals? All we have to do is open up our lands, which Trump is going to do, and mine, federally owned land in the United States. We don't have to ship rare earth minerals from Ukraine.

[00:35:24] But, but having an actual installation there, that would end a war and keep it ended. In my opinion. It'd be cheaper than another year of war, I bet. In money, let alone life. However. And we could pull all of our forces out of Europe. The wrong ball of my war. Britain. Every installation are, you know, perhaps not Italy, because Vincenzo and Naples, those stations into the Mediterranean are important.

[00:35:51] And Italy is a more reasonable European partner right now than most others. But, you know, Germany doesn't have to host our, our forces any longer. Britain neither. Bring them right into Western Ukraine in territory that we controlled on a land front border.

[00:36:08] So basically it'd be a gigantic border crossing control station for us to make sure that, you know, we have a, you know, the intelligence assets close by to monitor the Ukrainian government. Whatever it may become in the future. If they have elections again, Zelensky might not win. Does he turn that regime into an absolute dictatorship?

[00:36:31] Well, having a Fort Trump in Western Ukraine would make it a lot harder for Ukraine to go in a direction other than a real reliable democratically elected ally in the United States. It actually was a one for one reduction in, like you said, Germany or UK, for example. Well, I'm all about it. If it was keeping all those stations exactly the same, but just adding a bunch of new stuff that's a little tougher.

[00:37:01] The Ron Paul fan in me really doesn't want even more over there. But if we took a bunch, you know, it's more of a reorganization than adding, I guess is my point. I'd be more likely to be on board there. Zooming around Google Earth. Let's just have a gander at the land border between Ukraine and Russia. Okay. It's a tough map to determine that. I can barely do it. Yeah. I'm trying to trace it with the cursor. There's a little bit of lag.

[00:37:30] I think you see it now. There is a lag. Yeah. Yeah. This would pretty much need to look like the DMZ in Korea. Yeah. The amount of territory. Like 30 times longer. The amount of territory, if you had like the same depth of a DMZ is going to be far more acreage that Ukraine, that Ukraine is not going to have available for anything other than rows and rows of landmines and bunkers and fences.

[00:38:00] Right. Yeah. If there wasn't a Fort Trump. They're going to, they're going to have to DMZ that border. Otherwise, anybody could fight anybody at any point along it and pressure inside of Russia. Lots of pro war Russians. Right. Lots of them. Hundreds of thousands of lost lives and the families that are still, you know, always going to want to fight this war.

[00:38:30] Same thing on the other side. Are we going to DMZ this? No one's even getting to the point, to that level of specificity. That's the hard things that they're trying to actually think through. And, you know, I suggest, you know, just put Fort Trump on the west side and I don't think you're going to need that DMZ. I don't think you're going to need. And Russia wouldn't accept NATO troops throughout there.

[00:38:58] So you're going to have to find what, you know, think about the nations that are not a member of NATO that would have to occupy the peacekeeping zone. Who? Ireland? Some, a few African nations. No, that'd be NATO. Although I believe there was reports that they'd already been in the country. But that, that, that they're under French officers and that that's the NATO force.

[00:39:24] No, I, you know, maybe an opportunity for North and South Korea to have separate zones that were nowhere near each other to occupy that would, you know, because, because Russia would want countries in the world that are pro Russia. Like Cuban peacekeeper keepers in that zone. We're talking about, it couldn't be a NATO force. Right. So it's got to be other countries, Brazil, Brazilian. Yeah. Like bring like 300,000.

[00:39:53] Think about the cost of paying all those countries to put token military forces in the way. Right. I get it. Like you said, a trip wire and just a buffer and just the pieces on the chessboard that make you not want to even start a fight. Like, like Trump has always made it sound easy to end this war. It never has been. And I'm perfectly sure that he knows that, but that's not what he's going to say because then you never achieve it. I do.

[00:40:20] At first, when he used to, you know, when I first interpreted the way he would say that it was always just saying superficial stuff to be elected. Now, years and years later, especially now that he's acting on a lot of it, I'm like, no, you're right. Part of the strategy is to make it overly simple just to get some people behind it. It doesn't mean you're lying. But if you go into all the details and all the stuff we're talking about right now during a joint session of Congress, that's not going to work. You have to be confident and you have to break it down simply.

[00:40:50] You know, you're not trying to mislead people. That's going to be simple, but you have to be like, we're going to do it. We're going to make peace. It's going to, you know, both sides will compromise. Let's do it. You have to have a positive about it as well. Let's optimistic. Let's zoom over to another part of the world. And if you know the history of the wars of Israel and its Arab neighbors, the parcels of land, Gaza is only one of them. Right. And every single one is contested.

[00:41:17] They have UN, you know, findings about them, resolutions, UN resolutions, Security Council resolutions. You know, it is from the late 1940s onward, just a patchwork of grievances. And, you know, real professors of international relations might quibble with my use of the word irredentism in the case of Israel.

[00:41:45] But definitely is a term, irredentism, that describes many of these issues in the caucuses. Right. Because, you know, what the Soviet Union was and what it did and what it left, it's what we're dealing with. Zoom down here to Georgia, South Ossetia. You know, these are, you know, many, many of these issues.

[00:42:09] But obviously the biggest and most dangerous one to world peace is the one that everybody's trying to solve right now. We think. We think all parties are talking about wanting to be at peace. Because Zelensky, if you didn't know it before he went to the White House and the Oval Office, he knows it now. One extreme. I don't know. Here's a question. If you think it's extreme. I think it's probably pretty extreme.

[00:42:36] Resolution would be Putin gets all ports, including Odessa, making Western Ukraine landlocked. I don't think that would be acceptable to even for Trump proponents. Right. No, no. That wouldn't work. You know, the Ukrainians would never accept one more inch of their territory lost. They're just having a hard time coming to terms that the territory that was taken is probably lost.

[00:43:05] But there'll be little patches in certain places the Russians might want to just hand back. Right. But not Crimea, which they had before. Outbreaking 22. Only after they took it. What year did they take? Under Obama. Yeah. During 14, 15, 16. 14, I believe. So, yeah. This is not an easy problem to solve. And by the way, Moldova at one point had Russian forces stationed there. It's a patchwork.

[00:43:34] It's just a patchwork. And where's Transnistria? Isn't that over there? Isn't that a territory that's. They don't have a land bridge to. And some little thing near Moldova. I think it's Transnistria. Maybe it's another name. Similar. Russia has another one of these like weird outlier territories. Yeah. It's Transnistria. It is. Google Earth is not a political map, right? Not a great one anyways. Yeah.

[00:44:02] But pretty sure it's down in here. So anyway, there's. Not that many, but I mean, tens of thousands of Russian troops and personnel in that area. They haven't had any fighting yet, though, which is interesting. Look at this. The Ukrainians have a national park. Looks like no one's built there yet. That's where the minerals are now. Actually, most minerals on the east. Apparently in the east.

[00:44:31] But going back to the minerals there, you know, it is money. But compared to what's in Africa and more importantly, what's in Siberia. It's uneconomical. It's not even real. It's nice. That's a facade. It's an excuse to sound like we got a little bit of money back. A few billion dollars after we send 300 billion. But my point is. We'd never see a dime on it. It would never be economical to do it.

[00:44:57] All it will do is support Ukrainians, you know, building back their country. It would fund them. It's a good way to fund them. And maybe the companies that went in there would have some profits out of it. But it's a loser economic proposition because those same companies could mine in the United States of America. And it'd be more, you know, you don't have to ship it. Right. And I don't know the exact.

[00:45:23] My understanding is the U.S. doesn't really have a lot of these at all for a very, very small amount. All right. All right. That's why we got it. How much rare earth. Yeah, I know. There's a ton in Siberia that's not even being mined. So we could be friendly with Russia and trade with them. That would probably be the best option.

[00:45:56] Let's see what this is saying. Great question. I'm getting complimented by. We have about 1.8 metric tons of rare earth. California, Wyoming, Alaska, Texas, and Arizona. And then Ben, you know, the untapped. The untapped resources that, you know, it hasn't even thought about tapping into everything we got. It would be far more economical than doing it in Ukraine.

[00:46:26] No, it's like getting a 10 cents on the dollar back from Ukraine is kind of what Trump was trying to say. Better than zero cents. Or what else would he put it in there? Just to. Just as a talking point or. As a concession to increase the popularity to the domestic. You know, his constituency. So it worked on me. Brainwashed me. I think it did. I'm not buying it.

[00:46:56] I'm not buying it. But it is one of these things to get the deal done. Sure. It starts the process. If the Ukraine. Right. That's kind of what he meant. Because Lenski was so pissed. He's like. Come on. Now we can't even do this very, very basic in theory economic trade. There's no way we're going to freaking put troops in your country. Now the Great Britain is getting dissed by. The United States of America. Like it never has been. In public right now. And Canada too. And Canada. And I have.

[00:47:27] Caught a glimpse but didn't confirm that. Apparently the British might have had a rare earths agreement with Ukraine. Intentively in the works. It could be possible that Trump got wind of that and just stepped on it. Okay. Makes sense. If true. It makes sense. Who knows if it's actually true. I certainly was not a fly in the room. But. Interesting. What else we got?

[00:47:55] We want to talk a little bit more about tariffs where we stand there. And I mean. Let's talk about these military assets being moved first. Okay. Because it relates to the tariffs on Mexico. Okay. So a striker brigade combat team. Somewhere in the low thousands of combat troops are in the area. And. Hegseth. Secretary of Defense. Apparently since we last broadcast.

[00:48:25] Had a closed door meeting with Mexican generals. Essentially threatened military action. And that caused me to. Debate on whether. When editing future danger. To have the indicator. War unconstitutionally waged activated. But I. Didn't do that. Because. There's no evidence that they wouldn't go to Congress. For. A declaration of war.

[00:48:55] Or an authorization of force. I even went and checked out the. 1848. Declaration of War on Mexico. Okay. To see how that Congress wrote it. It's quaint. Really. It. It. It talks about how. Volunteers have to bring their own weapons and horses. But they are. Owed by the U.S. Congress. A uniform. Things like that. Yeah. So. Doesn't have to be a lot. But Congress. Has to pass it. But I did. I did a double check. It.

[00:49:24] It's simply a law. Really. A declaration of war is a law. So. It can pass with. 50. Percent of both houses. And a signature of the president. So. What would it take to. Actually. Have something like that. Pass through Congress. To authorize strikes in Mexico. In your opinion. Have to happen. Yeah. Get that. Passed. Yeah. Gonna head towards. You know. Immediately to the. Accusation of a false flag. I expect. Yeah. Well that's. Exactly.

[00:49:54] It's so. Almost too easy. Remember the main. Remember the main. Something. Something. Something big. And horrendous. And bloody. On Americans. To run. To run a declaration of war. Through Congress. To take military action in Mexico. Mexico. What is the. How's the Congress shaping up. They haven't had any big battles. Really quite yet. Right. They're still getting ready to pass that budget. I know Trump was talking. Mike Johnson. A lot.

[00:50:23] Nothing's gone to four votes. So it's like. They're getting ready to square off. And fight it out. The Congress. Starting when. Next week. No. Weeks from now. Months from now. To be more gentle. To be more gentle. About our. Constitutional form of government. They have to. Propose bills. Vote on them. In each chamber. And go to. Go to reconciliation committee. Between the Senate. And the House. Get a bill that. Everyone believes. Will pass both houses. And then. Both houses. Have to vote on the same.

[00:50:52] Exact bill. To go to signature. To the president. And by the way. We have nine days. To do that. Before the government. Has no money. Okay. So that's sort of. First off. Good. Summation. They're doing all that right now. But they're not really passing stuff yet. Because they're in that process. Is that what we're saying? Because obviously. The new Congress was sworn in. January 6th. So it's been two months. So what they. So what they do is they. Share the bill. Among the Republican caucus. In the House. And in the Senate. Privately.

[00:51:22] And see if they can get. The majority vote. But I. Was listening to. Again. Bloomberg. Bloomberg. Radio. Because. It's a good source. For seeing things. From the other perspective. Which I think is important. Even though you don't agree with it. And they bring on. You know. Republican members of Congress. And there's a. Member of the House. I didn't catch his name. But. You know. You know. Last time we broadcast. We had a little debate about. You know. How powerful. Are budget hawks. Deficit hawks.

[00:51:53] And. And you. You. Were always of the. You know. Viewpoint that they're weak. That there's barely any of them. In Congress. To which. I noted. You know. There may be only 10. But the Republicans. Only have a majority of two. In the House. So.

[00:52:21] Nine days to go on that. And there's going to be. You know. The. Democracy will work its way out. Like it always has. I'm sure they'll pass a bill. Because hanging a government shutdown. You know. Whose neck does that get hung around? You know. And how long would it go on? There might be a shutdown. For some amount of time. You know. Republicans might want to do it. And it might even hasten. Resignations from the government. Under Doge. I don't know. Well. I know. A lot. Trump has a lot of power. And he's certainly.

[00:52:51] Doing everything. In his power. To further his. Policies. But. Of course. A lot of it. The purse strings. And spending. And a lot of power. Rest with Congress. And. I know there's a lot of battles. Like heating up. Like will. Trump be able to get. X, Y, or Z. Through Congress. Or not. Seems like none of those. Battles have been. Kind of fought out yet. Or. I guess what you're saying. A lot of them are in the. Early to mid stages. But don't have.

[00:53:20] I guess we don't have any bills. Coming out in the next week. That we're aware of. That are super important. Or maybe there will be. I'll say this. I will. No. Congress is fixated on the spending bill. Or bills. There might still be more than one. But. I would think that some. That. Perhaps if Mexico got. Very unstable from tariffs. And. The cartels. Decide to stand up for themselves. This is what they got. This is what they do.

[00:53:50] This is their way of. You know. You know. Maintaining. Their systems. And their wealth. That things get really bloody. In northern Mexico. And. It's going to start resembling a war zone. With a striker brigade on the border. Anyways. You know. The. Will the Mexican military. Rise to the occasion. Regain. Regain control of. That country. From. From narco terrorists. And. Then again. Because it's Mexico. Does the Mexican military.

[00:54:20] Gain. All. The power. Is there a coup in it. The place. You know. Falls into a. A junta. Maybe the military is already. Half owned by the cartels. In the first place. So. No. It'll. We're not in simple times right now. Wherever you look. What else you want to hit. We've been on. Almost an hour. I think we go a little longer than an hour. Almost 20 people. Watching us live. This is the season finale. We'll be back in a couple weeks. That said.

[00:54:50] We always reserve the right. To jump on. If. There's crazy news. Or we just get the inkling. To pop in. But generally speaking. We'll be off. Next week. But. With that said. We. Let's go another 10. 15. 20 minutes. If you're down for that. Oh. We got more to cover. What are publicly traded. What are publicly traded. Structured. Structured credit. What's that mean. Bankster breaker. All right. Well. Let's. Define publicly traded.

[00:55:19] Pretty simple. It's. On a public exchange. Whether that's. New York Stock Exchange. Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Now. What are. What is. Structured credit. What most people. Would probably think of. Is. The credit default swaps. Or. Subprime loans. That were all. Pooled together. Together. Essentially. Secured.

[00:55:49] Take a pool of debt. Discreet loans. All these different loans. And they just throw them all into a pot. Melt them together. Mix them up. And then sell you. What comes out the other side. Maybe. More like a hot dog. Just. Put all the. These loans. What. You don't know if they're. Good or bad. Now. What happened in 2008. These are called CDOs. In 2008. Yeah. Credit. Fault. Obligation. I believe. Or commercial. Commercial debt obligation. Sorry. So in that case.

[00:56:19] This is what happened. A lot of people know this already. I won't go into too much detail. But. Let's say there were a hundred loans. Right. Yeah. They would all be. Meshed together. Into one. Debt. Object. That tool. Debt. That people could buy. Publicly traded. Right. Now. What would happen is. Those a hundred. Loans. Let's say.

[00:56:49] Fifty of them. Were subprime. They were probably going to go in foreclosure. Or have issues. Right. So they were very distressed. Bad loans made up that. Hot dog. Right. But. When the hot dog came out. They would go ahead and say. Hey. This hot dog is great. It should be 98%. Only 2% will fail. Whereas actually like 50% will fail. Then what happens is. Your pension fund. Your insurance company. Your bank. Buys all this crappy debt.

[00:57:18] And then when the debt. Freaking defaults. Everything goes bankrupt. Here you go. Yeah. The big short. If you've seen the movie. The big short. That's a great example. But there's a lot of movies. And just documentaries. About. Taking all these debt instruments. Mixing them all up. And selling the result. And all the fraud. That can go into that. Chat GPT. Calls CDOs. What was that? Pretty much slicing. And dicing.

[00:57:47] And combining different data. How were CDOs related to derivatives? Well. CDOs are derivatives. I mean. CDOs and derivatives are the same thing. Derivative. The price is a derivative. Of the underlying asset. Which is the loan. So underlying mortgage asset. But we've talked about commercial debt. You know. In the current days. Fast forward from 2008. It's not just subprime residential mortgages. Or all the commercial debt. From work at home. And just overall.

[00:58:17] Recession. Coming up. And all the interest rates. And debt. And all that crap. So. Point is. We're. Back to the future. It's 2025. Time is flying. But it might as well be 2008. Because. There are actually. Now more of these. Debt instruments. That's what I was thinking. Debt instrument. Debt instrument. Obviously after 2008. In the crash. The amount of this stuff. Went to. Very very low. Because. Half of them went bankrupt.

[00:58:47] And anything that was remaining. Or any. Pretty much no one wanted to get involved with it. Right. 10. 15. 20. Years later. Essentially. People either forgot their lesson. Got greedy. Or who knows why. We can talk about that. But. They're doing it over again. And now it's back. Above wherever. Was 2008. We're looking at the future danger history. On the archive. Of no. Derivatives. Nosedive. And. All low to moderate level. Headlines. Spanning. Two.

[00:59:17] In 2017. Two. And 18. And then a lot less. 19. Two. And 21. Then. You know. Basically one. Almost every other year. Since. But we're having that headline tonight. Wall Street Journal. Giving us a little bit of a warning sign. Could this be. The. You know. Original point. On future. On future danger. Where we. You know. Saw it actually go black on red.

[00:59:47] In perhaps. 2027. If Trump were. Quote unquote. Hoovered. Will it be derivatives. be part of that. Oh it will be. Whether it's then. Or whenever the next crisis comes along. Even if it. Just in theory. Because as long as these derivatives. Exist. When stuff hits the fan. They're either going to pay out. Which pays people. Like the big short. So there. You can use these. To make a lot of money. When things go down. Or.

[01:00:16] And or. Or. Like I said. When your pension fund. When. Your state. When your municipality. When all these. You know. Even your corporation. May have some of these bonds. On their balance sheet. And it goes. You know. Upside down. All of a sudden. You have liquidity crisis. Like 2008. And. There's bankruptcies. Layoffs. And then it just snowballs. You know. Yeah. Publicly traded. Structured credit. That's what they're calling it. This time. Yeah. Another question.

[01:00:46] For you. All right. Let's pop open this headline. Eight consecutive record weeks. For gold. Sends warning signals. About paper assets. That gold. Hasn't cracked 3,000 yet. But dang. It's close. And it's been. And it's doubled. In the last 12. 14. 16 months. I think. Eight straight weeks. To start the year. Positive. Now. The last couple weeks. It's only gone up. A little tiny bit. You know.

[01:01:15] It's still. Going up. And up. And up. Scroll down a little bit. Oh. You're doing it. I'm looking on the wrong screen. China. Well. Okay. We don't have to go too far. Into the Fort Knox. But it is somewhat related. I do like that. Trump is all about it. He loves it. He wants to go. To Fort Knox. I expect the actual gold. To be there. But. You do. Whether it. The accounting. For it. Like. Oh.

[01:01:45] Well. Actually. This is. You know. I've been loaned out. Or. Really. Some shenanigans like that. But I actually believe. The physical stuff. Will still be there. So. At this point in time. If it's there. Where it went. How it got back there. We may never know. But. Everybody. Will just act like. So what. It doesn't matter. Sort of. And that may end up. It could also be like. Think of it this way. They always say. China owns. Tons of U.S.

[01:02:15] Farmland. Well. If we split the switch. They would no longer own it. Would they? If it became a strategic resource. In a time of war. We would just take all that farmland from them. Same thing with this gold. It might say. Oh. The Bank of England. Owns. A lot of this. Or. Some Wall Street firms. Or who knows what. My point is. There could be some funky business. Going on with the. Rights to the gold. In Fort Knox. But I expect. No one actually. Shipped it out the back door. It might. Though.

[01:02:45] I'm not saying it did it. That's. You know. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I think the gold's there. But. There's some shenanigans. Going on in the gold market. And that. Fort Knox could be involved. That. From the financialization. Point of view. Can't remember. Trump talked about bird flu. Last night. He's not really touching this. Because. It's like. The only talking point. The Democrats have. Is the price of eggs. So. Yeah. How are we going to make sure. We don't get mRNA vaccines. Put into our food bed.

[01:03:15] Going to have to eat it. You know. From someone who's. Producing it themselves. Well. I've really done a good job. Of that. In my last. Since COVID. But especially the last. Couple years. Almost all my meat. And all of my eggs. 110%. Well. A lot of my meat. Either comes from Amish. And or. Dave Jones. And my eggs. All from Dave Jones. And. The warden. Maria. And guess what? I don't have to worry about that. Crap. Now. Wow.

[01:03:47] I'm really worried about. Just. Pretty much. These injections. Being done. Without. You being told. So. I really don't eat fast food anymore. Because I'm already presuming. McDonald's and Wendy's. Has. These sort of injections. Going on already. And. You know. Maybe that's conspiracy. But I've seen worse. Already come true. So. I don't eat fast food anymore. And. You can even trust organic free range. Maybe. Maybe not. But. Yeah. You got to presume that. KFC. You know.

[01:04:16] Their chickens got. Our mRNA vaccines. In it. Maybe not. But I'm pretty sure they will. In the near future. Now. That's what RFK is in there. To try to prevent. Or reverse. But yeah. It used to be just. Don't eat fast food. Because it's kind of. Bad for your heart. Or like. You know. It's got some saturated fat. It's a whole new level. We're worried about this stuff. And yeah. Exactly. And the nanoparticles. And freaking. Microplastics. And stuff. It's a whole other thing. This has to get taken care of. And clamped down on.

[01:04:46] By this administration. Because if it gets into. The industrial farming. Flocks. Why not be able to get it out? Yeah. You might have to. Have a. Highly. Isolated. Very expensive. Constantly at risk. Flock of. Poultry. Before. Eventually. It. It. It. Passes through the genes. One. Hen. From. One. MRA.

[01:05:16] NAA. Vaccinated. You know. Lineage. Into your. Homesteads. Livestock. And. It's there. That's true. Definitely. It's. Reminds me of. You know. I grew up a lot in. Indiana. Indiana. And even if you want to. Grow organic. Corn. Well. Guess what. You're surrounded by the. Monsanto GMO fields. So you're going to get. A bunch of their. Like pollen. And all the. You know. All the crap. A lot of it.

[01:05:47] Maybe not the. Genes itself. But there is. Cross pollination. To your organic crop. From. The GMO stuff. That's a mile down the road too. Yeah. Well we're talking about animals now. That sort of thing though. Right. Yeah. And. You know. I could see a day where this goes. All wrong. It's done wrong. And then later. Proven to be harmful. And we're going to. Isolate. Parts of the planet. You know. Repopulate our food supply. Without the pollution. Of these experiments.

[01:06:17] There's definitely some sci-fi movies. About that where. Pretty much all modern strains. Of agriculture die off. And they have to. You know. Start a whole new seed line. And obviously. It takes a while to do that. And a lot of people will starve. In the meanwhile. So. Hopefully that's high enough priority. To get attended to by. This. You know. This Congress. I honestly think. Musk. Part of the reason. He wants to start. Moon. And. Especially Mars. Colonies. Is to isolate.

[01:06:47] Civilization. From those sort of events. Where. You know. Imagine. 10 million people. Living on Mars. In 200 years. If Earth. Biosphere. Gets totally destroyed. At least Mars. Is there. Or vice versa. He says it all the time. Like type one civilization. So. Earth is totally destroyed. At least. Some humans will live. No one listening to this podcast. Gets to go to Mars. No. I think. Unless someone's. Really young child. Is joining us in this. Yeah.

[01:07:17] We managed not to be profane. On this episode. So hopefully they are. I think I said that word. But. Real quiet. We don't get to go to. To Mars. I think I'll be able to. Go on. Low Earth orbit. For under. You know. 20 grand. Someday. If I want to. We'll see. Go orbit. 300 miles in the air. For. An hour. That'd be pretty sick. Five orbits of the Earth. Or something. 20 grand. That's not going to make your chicken dinner.

[01:07:46] Healthy again. No. No. I got. I want to do a space tourism. At some point. But. Anyway. No. Well. We were talking about. Just overall. Threat to all of humanity. And. Our food systems. So. Having multiple planets. It would be helpful for that. In the long term. But yeah. That's several centuries. Down the road. What else on this. Season finale. Season finale. Probably should look back. Since December. When we.

[01:08:17] At the solstice. Right before. Our Christmas. Or after our Christmas break. We came back in January. It's been January. We had a lot of risks. A lot of worries. About. Will there be a transition of power. Was something coming. Didn't happen. I think. Most of the world. Is. In awe. Of what this administration. Was ready to do. How it was ready. To jump into the. Control seat. And start flicking the. Switches of power.

[01:08:47] And bringing in new sets of equipment. Doge. Flick. Switches that. Had never been flicked. That was. It took a lot of people by surprise. Took almost everybody. All the way through the. Zelensky meltdown. In the. White House. What. What. What. Is. The most. You know. Unexpected. Part of. This. Winter. 2025. Season. In a nutshell. From you.

[01:09:17] Most unexpected. What did you not see coming. Big picture. I did. Not. See it being this successful. This quick. Meaning Trump's administration. Rolling in. Like you said. We were even worried if. There'd be assassination. Or something happened where. Vance had to come in. Or who knows. That didn't happen. Trump came in. Been steamrolling his opponents. Over the last couple months. And just the. The precision. I'm impressed with. I think I called it a finesse.

[01:09:46] On another show. Where it's just like. Like you said. He's been. Planning for multiple years. He's got way better people. In his administration. And cabinet. And. He's a lot more pissed. And hardcore. Put that all together. They came out with a plan. And they're executing it. And. Especially when they went after. USAID up front. That's like. A perfectly precise attack. Because that was used. To fundraise. For Democrats. For brainwashing of society. For getting illegals in here.

[01:10:16] To vote for Democrats. So. Going after that. Like. Up front. Was huge. And CIA operations. Yeah. And. A lot of Ukraine shit. Was going on too. The war in the background. Is through USAID. The. The bureaucratic war. In the background. With the CIA. Is not being reported. But it has to be raging. I'll tell you what. I'm seeing that. I didn't expect. All right. Twice. In a matter of a day or two. Oval office visit. First by the PM. Of. Of Great Britain.

[01:10:46] And then. Zelensky. Trump's bringing. Vance in. On the couch. Right across from. The other. World leader. And. Vance is stepping up. Speaking out. And. And. And. And he went to Munich. And called out. Europeans. Widely for. You know. Basic human rights. Of. You know. All. Everything embodied by our first amendment. Right. And. Violation. And. As well as. You know. You know.

[01:11:16] Fourth and fifth amendment rights. That we see violated in Europe. You know. In an alarming rate. He's going right at the PM. Speaking up about it. In a. In a manner and tone. That is persuasive. And. Obviously. The blow up with. Zelensky. Was when. For some reason. Zelensky. Decided. To kind of talk down. To the number two. American in the room. Boy. Did that go badly. So. The continuity. That I see Trump. Having in place. Allowing this to happen. And building up. J.D.

[01:11:46] We're. You know. Less than four years away. From his. You know. Potential. You know. He'll run for president. Right. He is the lead. Right now. For the Republicans. Fans. But. I mean. Hexeth is in the room. While this is happening. You know. Rubio. Sitting on the couch. Next to Vance. Bringing in his team. And. And putting him right. Neck. On his side. Face to face. With world leaders. Vance. You know. Stepping up as number two. In that capacity. I didn't think I'd see that.

[01:12:18] Got no. Hopefully. Trump lives a nice. Healthy. Long life. But. You know. He's pretty old. And even in 20 years. He'll be gone. So you got to build up. That next generation. And Vance is what. Is he 41. Or 42. No. We're only talking. Less than four years from now. Retaining power. Of the very room. That they're in. The Oval Office. Well. I don't. You think Vance is going to be. The president's nominee. In three years. He's got to be the front runner. Could be. I think it's way too early. To say that. But I hope so. When is the. Incumbent. President's.

[01:12:48] Vice president. You know. Not. You know. Unless they self-declare. They're not going to run. Like Cheney. When. When are they not. You know. Immediately thinking about. Being the next one to run. For their party. That's all the Democrats do. Right. When was the last time. The Democrats didn't do this. To caucus to Clinton. Yeah. Maybe they don't think Vance is too young. Gore ran after Clinton. Biden ran after Obama. I'd rather have Vance run when he's 44.

[01:13:18] Kamala ran after Biden. That's all they do. Is the vice president's next. That doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. For Republicans. Well. It's. It's. It's. It's a good job. It's still early. But I like him so far. He's clearly picked to be. You know. Very. Very. Very. Pro. Trump option. To. You know. He didn't do anything. Until six months ago. So. He's still got a while to go. Before he's. A real. Candidate. I think. But he's doing. He's on track. If he keeps this up. For another three and a half years. Sure. That's why he's in the Oval Office. Doing this with world leaders. I'm wondering what. Training session.

[01:13:49] I'm on the lookout. Who. What other world leaders. Are going to. Stand before J. D. Vance. And take a speech right now. They might. They might not actually. Want to do that. Or. Okay. That text was surprising to me. That. The banksters. In the quote unquote. New world order. Are engaging. And. Like. They're getting routed. And. Their pathetic attempts. Are nothing. Well. You're just talking about. The political leadership. Of the countries. They just. Yeah. Well. And. Freaking. I don't know.

[01:14:18] Just all around. It's just a little bit of an emperor. No clothes. Like. Wow. The resistance. Wasn't really that. Bad in the first place. Meaning. I don't know. It seemed like. 10 years ago. Like. Let's just say. 2010. 2012. Obama's second term. It seemed like. There was no way. We would ever get out. From. Terminator. Dystopian. New world order. But. We are. Right now. We're not out of it. But. That's good. That'd be. In. I thought. That they would put up a way bigger fight right now.

[01:14:47] They're getting totally decimated. They're not even. Reconsolidating. Trying to push back. I feel like. On Trump. Yeah. I'm sure they will. Sometime. But they're still like super disorganized. Getting routed. It's awesome. Who's that? Just call them the Democrats. I guess. But you can call them the banksters. You can call. The freaking foreign leaders. They don't have power right now. Right. Well. They're not even. They're not even. Trying to consolidate. The small amount of power they have. And work together. I never believe they're. I never believe they're an invincible.

[01:15:17] It's just. You know. They're not even. Not invincible. They were a cupcake team the whole time. It's like. You thought. You know. If you're doing a football analogy. I thought they were number one in the nation. But they're. You know. There's nothing. They're like a JV squad. They're overranked. Totally. Yeah. A lot harder than this. That also makes me think that. This is a little too easy to be true. Okay. What's the next suit to drop? Or I'm never. I'm. I'm prepping just as hard as ever. I guess. But.

[01:15:48] Almost seems too easy. But. In a good way. But yeah. I'm not expecting it to be this easy. The whole time. Because if it is. They'll be totally rolled up. And they'll be in prison. By this time next year. At this rate. Right there. Warren Buffett. Drivers our financial weapon. Of mass destruction. I was. I was. I was about to quote that. And it just showed up on the. On our. Background scroll. That. Too fast. We got to slow this down. I think. I think people can. You know. Be. Well advised.

[01:16:18] To prepare. For. I'll say it again. 2027. Any earlier. In the emergency powers. That Trump would have. Would. Allow him to pivot. Onto any crisis. And potentially. Come out on top. As the solver. But. By the time. He has no time left. And it's a presidential campaign. That's when it gets dangerous. And. Financial weapons. Are mass destruction. Derivatives. We talked about him tonight. March 5th. Season finale.

[01:16:47] Of winter season. Patriot power. Hour. On proper broadcasting network. Another good show. Get that music. Queued up. Yeah. Let's do that. So. Training opportunity. To the end. I'm going to jump over here. To. Streamyards itself. It must still be here. You're on. It's on the left screen. That they're not. Got to drag it over. Drag it over. They're going to get the. That's all right. See how the. Tunnel effect.

[01:17:16] They can do that too. Just. It's actually great to have three screens. It's the best production. We're learning together. So media assets. If I recall. Scrolling to the bottom. And it's the. PPH clothing. Last one. Last one. You were there. Lower. Hit the play button there. And I'm not going to talk over it. Because we've discovered this. It's not smooth yet. Yeah. It doesn't seem to work too well. We got to test it a little better. But. Good show. But shout out to our listeners. One. Who did notice. This is the Rambo. Yeah.

[01:17:46] Theme. Taking us out. First blood. Correct. First blood. Taking us out tonight. Patriot Power Hour. Episode 297 in the books.
