Patriot Power Hour #300 - J6 Footage w/ NBC Guy & Intrepid Commander!

[00:00:01] You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[00:00:52] This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com Patriot Power Hour Episode 300, it's incredible, Episode 300. We're live, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters here with Future Dan.

[00:01:19] And we got Dave Jones and James Walton joining us. All right, let's unmute them. James and NBC Guy here to celebrate 300 episodes of Patriot Power Hour. Thanks for joining us, gentlemen. Congratulations. Hey. Hey. I'm honored to be on your 300th show. This is... Thank you. Absolutely. You guys were on our 200th show. I'm pretty darn sure. Yeah, I remember.

[00:01:47] That time has flown since then, so it's an honor for us to have you guys here. Hey, look, here's a couple metrics that I think are important for you guys. The average podcast gets about 50 episodes in its lifetime out of the however many 4 million there are out there. And the average podcast episode comes away with about 28 to 29 downloads in the first week.

[00:02:14] So you guys far surpassed both of those metrics and, you know, I think it goes to show why you guys do what you do. Yeah. Appreciate that. It's a long slog one week at a time. We've, you know, taken a couple weeks off here or there, but it's consistency is the key, I think. And there's never a lack of content for prepping or for news.

[00:02:37] So that's why it's kind of been a blur, but a lot of great, great topics we've covered, even if it's a depressing topic overall prepping and what's going on in the world. But the way we look at it is let's see what's in front of us. Let's see the danger that could be coming up. Let's prep for it and let's get through it, whether around it, over, under it. You know, that's how we're looking at it.

[00:03:01] So four years and three months ago on behalf of Pepper Broadcasting Network, I went to J6. We've been talking for weeks, months, years about what happened there. Tonight, we're going to show the beginning of the actual footage live from the Capitol that day. And so we have a very special show.

[00:03:31] Dave, James, are on board to help comment our way through this. Dave, you're about to say something real quick. What was it? Oh, well, you guys have a tremendous amount of history that is recorded over the years.

[00:03:48] And it's just amazing that, you know, that you can look back and listen to the news articles, get what was going through our minds at the time. And now we're looking back at J6 2021. So this is going to be great. This is about one year after we joined PBN. We joined PBN January 2020.

[00:04:15] I think it was like episode 83 or 84. So we did put some work in before we joined PBN. But James found the diamond in the rough PPH Patriot Power Hour. So ever since then, we've been just so happy to be with PBN. And I think the network as a whole has just grown, not only in downloads and listeners, which is awesome, but just kind of camaraderie working together. I've learned so much from other hosts. It's awesome.

[00:04:42] Yeah, it would be cool if we could, if we could face off against our younger versions. Right? That would be funny. I think of that often actually like, could I beat up my 18 year old self? Probably not. I would put my 18 year old self in the hospital. There you go. All right. On the right side of it. Oh, well, we could reminisce for hours, honestly. And, you know, we'll have to do that sometime down, down the line.

[00:05:12] But guys, we do have a lot of business to take care of. So as featured Dan noted, we have. Well, let me just pass on to him. This is the first time this has been seen. I'm going to go ahead and share screen. So if you're watching the video, be sure. Follow along closely. You'll see a lot. We will be letting the video run. It's course without commentary over the top for most of it for about 20 minutes, but we will. We'll pause once or twice before we get rolling though.

[00:05:42] Future day and anything you wanted to say to kind of preface this. Yeah. The video starts at about 10 AM on January 6th near the white house. I'm on my way to the white house. And we're going to pause when a very special, well-known character from that day appears. So let her roll then. All right. Here we go.

[00:06:35] Is the mega shaman. I walked right past him in the street. Let it roll for a little bit. So we're past him, Ben. What do you think of that? Dave and James? Well, do you think they placed him there for a reason? Because he, he had to have been seen by thousands. Oh, that's an interesting point.

[00:07:04] And he was later in the Capitol. So we know he was up by the white house at the beginning. Yeah. He became the face of January 6th. And I mean, I think that was pretty intentional. So, I mean, it was intentional that they made him the example, but was he placed there so that the thousands of people that walked by were sure to notice him?

[00:07:33] And he was facing the crowd, the incoming crowd and hollering. Literally hollering at him. Like, look at me and my horns. Yes. Assembled from all directions. Oh, okay. Wait until you see the size of it. That was just me coming off of one Metro stop, making my way to the east side. I think I got off on foggy bottom and walked towards the white house, but not everybody saw him there. I think he was authentic. I don't think he was a plant.

[00:08:01] There's more video that we're going to debut in episode 301 after this. That is going to show clearly suspicious activity. But right there, this guy's yelling that we're going to take back this or our civilization. I can't be sure that he's not authentic. Yeah.

[00:08:24] Well, and does he leave before Trump gets done speaking on his way to the Capitol? So he's first, you know, he's first at the door and those videos of them letting them in and doing all that. No, while everything you'll see in this video happens, the writing was already going on at the Capitol. Wow. Okay.

[00:08:53] We are rebirthing the nation. I just wanted to rerun that real quick. We are not going to be able to rewind very much, but I wanted to do that as an, just a little bit of a programming note. It'll take us a couple seconds between pausing and being able to speak. So anyway, I'm going to hit play.

[00:09:22] We're going to keep this going and keep analyzing the footage.

[00:09:25] We're going to keep this footage.

[00:10:57] Cell phones are going down.

[00:12:52] So that's the crowd leading up to Trump speaking near the white house. And it was the biggest crowd I've ever been in. All right. We got the guys back. One question Dave asked was how cold is it? It was mild. Yeah, it looks pretty mild the way they're dressed. And I did see one police officer.

[00:13:20] I don't know if it was Capitol police or city police. He was with these look like he's cell phone recording the crowd, the size of the crowd. And then I did see a camera, a reporter with a camera guy. He had his mask on, you know, like COVID. And he's leading the camera guy somewhere. So I guess they wanted to get a shot of something. And I think what's good.

[00:13:49] Say it again. Does that match what you pictured the J six crowd looked like? At least the part that was listening to try. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah. We had a big gun rally here in Richmond. It was pretty similar. Yeah. As far as people and, you know, dress out and flags and those kinds of things. What I did notice in this crowd that I didn't notice as much in that crowd, though, was some serious backpacks.

[00:14:20] Yeah. Like seriously heavy looking backpack. I seen like at least four guys in that first bit of footage wearing big backpacks. And I didn't know. I'm trying to sit here and go like, what would I bring? Well, I wouldn't need that big a backpack. I know that. And didn't they camping? Yeah. Didn't didn't they at your event, James, didn't they like limit your backpacks or the. Oh, yeah. There was no guns.

[00:14:48] If you went inside the Capitol grounds, there was no guns and he went through metal detectors. We just went past a family that had 45 hoodies. There's four of them. Yeah. I see. That was pretty funny. The crowd. That's that's immense. Yeah. I also went to Glenn Beck's event in. Oh, eight. I think it was. In D.C. That was a pretty big one, too.

[00:15:14] It was like, you know, anti Obama rally or something. But that's a great shot there. That's it. That gives you a good idea of the depth right there of the crowd. Smoked a cigarette. Yeah. Freedom. Pretty peaceful, though. Like I haven't seen anyone except for what's his name? The Viking man calling for anyone's head. Literally. Literally figuratively so far.

[00:15:42] Now, this again is part one. We're going to have part two a week from now on episode 301, which has, let's just say a lot more writing. Yeah. Action to it. I will be interested to see how the crowd transitions. I don't know if you've watched it yourself, Dan, over and over again to see how the crowd goes from literally squatting and smoking ciggies and, you know, holding up flags to then like bum rush time. You know what I mean?

[00:16:12] After the speech, you can hear the murmur of the crowd as we close in on the Capitol. It changes. Huh? That's interesting. You can hear it more than you can see it. All right. I can either we can listen to the sound of the video. Yeah, let's listen. Or we can comment over it. Which one? Let's listen in. Okay. Let me get that going. I'm going to meet you gentlemen.

[00:17:17] I think that technically the march that I was at, at that point in time was the Save America March.

[00:17:47] And there were others on the east side of the Capitol. Alex Jones had his own. There were other personalities that had their own rallies. The march, stop the steal. But officially up here at the White House, it's the Save America March. South side, it looks like. Yeah. South side of the White House. Anything else you want to keep rolling?

[00:18:17] I don't see. With sound or not. Looks like more people are getting ready to record, but you're close to Trump. So that makes sense. Yeah. And I thought I saw that same cameraman or news guy. He has a black hoodie on. With the blue mask. And, and, uh, well, I, he's not far from here. If you can rewind, can you rewind? So I'll say this. We cannot rewind right now for this part two. We will be able to rewind.

[00:18:44] And finally, we are going to remaster and combine both parts at some point and provide them via thumbnail drive to both NBC guy and traffic commanders. They can analyze the footage frame by frame at their own leisure with highest quality. So that'll be coming in the next couple of weeks, but, uh, not quite tonight, but we're going to make that happen. But no pausing. Unfortunately, um, we're going to get back or any other comments real quick. No, I say let's keep on going.

[00:19:14] All right. I'll make one comment. Okay. Check out the foreign flags in the crowd. I see Korean. I see Taiwanese. I think I see Romania. I saw Iran earlier. Yeah. I saw Mexico. Yeah. So the closer we get to the Capitol, the, um, a number of Taiwanese flags and signs, uh, absolutely criticizing the communist CCP. That's that's common here.

[00:19:42] Those people came out to this rally in force. Let's roll Ben. Great comment. All right. We're going to get this video rolling again.

[00:20:19] I just, again, I want to thank you. It's just a great way to have this kind of.

[00:21:12] So the rally ended. I obviously didn't record the whole president's speech. And we, most of that crowd headed to the Capitol. What you're seeing here from Pennsylvania Avenue facing south is three other rows was just a complete stream of the crowd headed to the Capitol. So, yeah. Who are those people in all black? Walking together right there. Yeah.

[00:21:42] In between. Mm-hmm. They stood out like sore thumbs. They looked like security of some sort. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. There's three of them. One lady in the middle. Yeah. All right. We'll get back to this. Three streets. One.

[00:22:14] Two.

[00:22:44] And that's part one, half of the video. The peaceful half, actually. Next week we're going to have Everything that happens At the foot of that Capitol Up until I observed doors Open and crowd Streaming inside the building At which point I knew This was a bad situation And I The audience seems So demure

[00:23:13] It's really hard to believe that it went From that to what it went to You know what I mean? What's important to remember Earlier A lot of rioting had already begun Especially on the west side That you could see as we were approaching All the barriers That had been originally there at the morning of the day Crowd control barriers Were essentially trodden down And gone By the time the crowd was arriving at that point

[00:23:43] Wow Yeah that's Come on in Well and that last little clip there I saw two guys With massive backpacks And some guys With the cooler And I'm like wow You could put a massive bomb In that cooler there And just wheel it right up I mean It looked You know from a security standpoint Just a free for all Yeah Right

[00:24:13] Exactly Very dangerous Could have been Worse if they had Detonated some IEDs Whoever They would be Well you remember The pipe bomb guy Right That was never Never caught The most surveilled City In the United States He's Caught on video Using his cell phone Where's all that data Yeah Who was that guy They got some footage

[00:24:43] Of that space too I've seen So About the Cell phones Earlier in this first half Of the footage Even before I got Parked and tried to Record something of Trump Towards the White House You may have heard me say The phones are going down Yeah And We've all been in crowds Where All our devices are Competing for bandwidth So you don't get great coverage When you're in crowds And you saw how big that crowd was So

[00:25:11] Cell phone was on and off Throughout the time I was recording Yeah And I did try to Connect to Prepper Broadcasting Network And broadcast live Couldn't get it to work And Later I noticed That AT&T Had a Basically an 18 wheeler Tower Assembled Right there Between the White House And the Capitol And Videos On my phone

[00:25:41] That I wasn't sharing Or live streaming Some of them Were blacked out I could not access them They existed on my phone And I remember what They should have been A recording of But they were Censored from my phone Wow So Everything there Was Maximum Surveilled Yeah And possibly even Taken from people In live time So it may not look like There was surveillance On the ground And great security On the ground

[00:26:11] But in terms of Telecommunications It was Maximum surveillance Well and There are Systems In place To Eliminate Cellphone Signals Because Terrorists Not only Use them To communicate They use them To detonate Bombs So If they If they Thought there Was a bomb In the area They'll They'll jam The frequency So a signal Can't get through But like

[00:26:41] Iraq war Dave Yeah One of the first Things we did During reconstruction Was set up as many Cell towers As we could And make sure Iraqis had access To cell phones Because it was An absolute Means to track The networks Yep This Everything All the warrants That Came Afterwards To all the J6ers That were Prosecuted Yeah They They reversed Engineer those Prosecutions Because they Had already

[00:27:11] Seized the Footage On anything They recorded On their Phones Again I wasn't Live streaming This video Off of the Phone In any way Yeah Again Maybe 25% Of my Videos All towards The capital Which We're gonna Debut that Footage next Week 25% Were blacked Out I couldn't Have them Wow That's Something Right there Yeah Maybe you Told me Before I don't Know I don't Think so But Regardless That's Intensive

[00:27:40] That's Not Just A bug Right Especially Because you're Not live Streaming I mean Recording In theory Directly To The Flash Drive Of Your Phone There Should Be No Way For There To Be Some Sort Of Signal Issue Because There's Too many People On The Cellular Network Or Some Sort Of Explanation Like That I Would Not Think So Literally Got In There And Nuked Some Of Your Videos Can't Believe They Let Some Fly I'm Not sure They Nuked It They

[00:28:25] Can

[00:28:55] Sure win, but would love, you know, I'm kind of speaking, but out of turn for future Dan, it is his footage, but I think it'd be great if you two looked at it and tried to find, you know, tidbits that might be worth looking through and talking about. Absolutely. I would love to have it. I just pure curiosity on my part, you know, but man, you know, find Ray Epps, you know, like they used to do find Waldo.

[00:29:24] Yeah, where's Waldo? Where's Ray Epps? Hey, we already found the Viking guy like in the first seconds. Holy cow. Future Dan, anything else you wanted to say on this clip or any questions or thoughts for the guys generally? Just any other impressions you had about what you saw today, gentlemen, that maybe defied what you expected? I mean, I already mentioned it, but I'll mention it again, and it's just that in my mind, and I've seen, you know,

[00:29:53] a decent amount of the footage and stuff like that, and it's been tailored by CNN, MSNBC, and the like. I think it's just seeing people so close to the Capitol after hearing the rousing speech and being really kind of lax, and also probably the proximity to the speech, to the Capitol without any security check whatsoever. Like I said, here in Richmond, we did, if you wanted to get on the grounds of the Virginia State Capitol,

[00:30:20] you had to go through metal detectors and things like that, and this was just a national Second Amendment, you know, rally. It got pretty big, but it wasn't this size. It wasn't anything with this kind of implication, this kind of cloud over it, and just another sort of like, who the hell was in charge of security, and why aren't they hanging from the Capitol? You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm with you on that,

[00:30:48] because it's almost like they wanted something to happen that, because, you know, it was like how not to do it. It's an example of how not to do security for a huge event, and everybody knew it was going to be massive. Oh, yeah. And it probably was a little crazy. Yeah.

[00:31:15] Part two is going to show you some evidence that it was a well-planned false flag. Yeah. Okay. I can't wait. We can't wait until next week, then. Yeah, that's going to be scheduled for next Tuesday, the 15th of April. Hey, that's tax day. I think that's apropos. That's what we're planning for, the 15th of April for part two. Excellent work, future Dan, on the coverage, for sure. Yeah, definitely.

[00:31:46] EMP protection is on the minds of all preppers, and since the massive geomagnetic storm back in May that brought the Northern Lights to Texas, more and more people are paying attention. FaradayContainers.com has some of the largest and most fortified EMP protection on the planet. 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers built with copper beryllium gaskets for maximum protection.

[00:32:12] They also have five-foot work boxes that can be loaded with solar generators, solar panels, comms. Visit FaradayContainers.com. Wisconsin built. EMP protection. This is Phil Rabelais, head maniac from Matter of Fact's podcast and wife annoyance specialist from Raising Values. Whatever your preferred caffeination, be it coffee or tea, we have you covered.

[00:32:40] Everything from sacks of bunker beans to favorites like dark humor to newcomers like Uncle Randy's front porch can be found at Disaster Coffee, alongside all of our tea offerings, EMP and Gray Man. Whether you're looking for that daily brew to get started or that evening sip on the porch, come check out Disaster Coffee. Hey, we're back for the News Blitz.

[00:33:11] This is April 8th, 2025. Going to future danger. Heat map dashboard. And as predicted last week on episode 299, the economic column is heating up. But we'll start with column one. We have one indicator active. War unconstitutionally waged. Potentially, DOD weighs drone strikes on Mexican cartels.

[00:33:38] There is no authorization of any force to be used like that. Passed by Congress today. Column two. The People's Liberation Navy blasts dangerous American actions near China, which can lead to misjudgment. Meanwhile, senior generals are being purged by this president. NSA, Cybercom commander was fired.

[00:34:07] Three-star admiral representing the United States to NATO fired. Reportedly would not put up the president's portrait in their headquarters, as is customary in all commands. Around Taiwan, China ends military drills with simulated attacks on Taiwan ports and energy sites. We're looking at the Pacific. We're looking at the high command.

[00:34:35] A little bit of dangerous news there. I'm going to wrap up with the economy, so we're going to jump to the natural indicators. At least 33 killed in Congo flooding. Headline we got here states 19, but it's up over 20 now. 23 fatalities reported across. Six states floods ravaging Tennessee and Kentucky. Got a pretty large earthquake that hit New Guinea. 6.9 attracts our attention.

[00:35:06] Nature is re-engineered. Dire wolves reborn. Well, maybe not exactly, but pretty close. Scientists purportedly de-extinct line of beasts whose live gene pool long ago vanished. Maybe partly they did that, but it triggers. Nature is re-engineered. For that sci-fi dystopia angle to all of this.

[00:35:32] And more evidence vaccination effects have been exposed. MRNA COVID injections cause long-term changes to chromosomes, increasing the risk of leukemia and brain tumors. Another study. Taking us to the top of column three, the main event for this episode, the 300th episode of Patriot Power Hour.

[00:35:59] We got the fear gauge going off the charts like it rarely does this week. Headline starting to surge just last week. It's 45, hit 60 yesterday. Futures global markets tumbling and a panic sell-off. That's the next indicator. Stock market. I don't know if it's crashed to the black on red happening now point, Ben. But at the close Monday,

[00:36:27] if they had repeated that Tuesday, I think it would have. I think it would have. Monday, Dow nosedive 1,600 points. S&P and NASDAQ dropped most since 2020. March 2020, the last time this indicator was black on red. That's after 1,800 points last Friday. Everything crashing. China retaliates with 34% tariffs on American goods. Dow tumbles 300 more points today.

[00:36:56] So tariff induced sell-off is resuming tonight. On the trade front, intricately tied to stock market getting close to a crash. We got a headline here that lists the top 30 U.S. tariff rates after the April 2nd announcement by the president. China fires back. We just covered that. Tonight,

[00:37:23] 104% tariffs placed on communist China after Beijing defies U.S. warning. They retaliated 34%, catching them another 50% tariff from the president. And they're ready to go on. They're ready to go on. This is getting pretty close to an all-out. It's going to be a de facto boycott of Chinese goods in the U.S. economy.

[00:37:53] Did you ever think you'd see that? Bankster breaker. We'll ask you in a second. Meanwhile, we got a report. Chapter 11. Bankruptcies are jumping 20%. Don't know over what period of time. Probably need to dig into that article. But if firms do start wildly failing, then it's on. There is a economic calamity in 2025. We're not there yet, though. But a little bit of a hint that people in power are concerned about such matters.

[00:38:22] Federal Reserve holds closed-door meeting amid tariff tensions. That immediately triggers. It's binary. It's just going to trigger to grade one happening now. Fed abruptly meets. Scrolling below the radio archive. Interest rates suddenly moving. We could bring it down. We are going to see the Fed Chair Powell speaks as emergency rate cut odds rise.

[00:38:50] So it was either the day or the day after. I think it was the same day that, or the day after, the President announced on April 2nd the tariffs. We talked about it was, you know, to happen on Episode 299. Well, it happened. That is your news blitz for April 8th, 2025. Where do you want to begin, Ben? Let's end with economics, because I am the breaker of banksters. So I'm biased towards that.

[00:39:19] I want to talk freely about that. So I want to get everything else out of the way. There's so much other important information. I don't want to start with econ either, because I want to give the others due justice. So how about that? Let's go with the injections. mRNA, COVID injections, cause long-term changes to chromosomes, increasing the risk of leukemia, brain tumors.

[00:39:46] We've seen many, many studies coming out, and each month it's at a faster rate. New studies coming out showing the negative effects of the injections, whether it's changes to genes, whether it's changes to your cardiovascular system, blood clots, whatnot, cancer, turbo cancers, all types of things linked to that. And I don't want to stand on a soapbox or talk too much about it,

[00:40:15] but there's so many people out there who won't be the first to do something because they're like, oh, I'm not going to be the guinea pig. But they are also easily put into a fear state and jump right in line to get the injection. I just saw so many people. The risk reward in the studies was absolutely not put through

[00:40:43] the rigorous procedures that it needed to be done. And people just jumped right into the deep end and said, give me the jab, give me the booster, give me the second, give me the third booster. And bad news all around. There you go. So what's your thoughts on that overall? And I guess this article specifically, if you want to. Yeah, that's all true. We've covered a lot of these. This is a German study.

[00:41:10] So, you know, hard to ignore. Right. But if you can go back to the heat map dashboard, I want to look across the dashboard at a different indicator and think about how this one affects that. Okay. War with China starts. Do you think that the people's liberation Navy right there? One speaking out about our current activities in the Western Pacific. What kind of intel do they have on the amount of military members who didn't

[00:41:38] have a choice to stay in the military? They took those shots. What's the cancer rate of the U.S. Navy for people of a demographic much, much younger than that should be happening? And how classified is that information? That's like seriously needs to be classified information. You would agree, right? With the people of liberation Navy constantly calculating what are their odds of taking Taiwan if they leapt at it?

[00:42:06] That's like the damage done to young people with those vaccines. It's got to be a matter of national security at this point. That's real intel in this day and age. They can data mine that sort of info pretty easily. No, not from military members. None of those records are available to them. That's all protected. I'm thinking more of mining their locations of their cell phone, realizing they're

[00:42:34] going to the doctor office once a month and it's an oncology wing, for example. But this is data mining. These are big picture statistics. Wow. You're right. Because sailors in port would go to the hospitals and clinics on their Navy installations. And they are using commercial cell phones in their pocket to walk around. Yeah. Maybe that. Yeah. They might be able to do that locationally.

[00:43:03] The Chinese party is really penetrated. The police and surveillance systems. They should be able to get license plate readers as well. So that'd be super simple. Yeah. It's something that couldn't be done in the 70s. No, the police couldn't be on bases. There'd be no police with that vulnerability on Navy installations. And of course... Not on base. Not on base. Well, the sailors are only going to medical facilities on base or in their ship.

[00:43:32] Here's another angle. Not that we had to go too deep into this, but what about people's parents? So they're leaving base because their parents are more ill than they were on average 5, 10, 15 years ago because their parents took it. That's another just knock-on effect. There's a lot of small knock-on effects when they add up. They're pretty big. Well, that's the heart of TikTok, right? That's the real, real problem with TikTok. Yes! Perfect. Is that the children and the extended families, the cousins of children of senior generals,

[00:44:01] for example, just the entire pattern of life, they would target the accounts of anybody who has any kind of relationship or would have any kind of foreknowledge with any military members. They would look at giant patterns, right? And they can't have that. That can't be had by an adversary like that. So that's what I do is I try to look at an indicator one place, right?

[00:44:29] Vaccine effects being exposed in a very serious way and try to think, well, what's that influence a different indicator? It's not always possible. We don't always have news kind of interconnected, but column three, economic, that's connected top to bottom. Every one of those indicators is connected to the others. Looking horizontally on the heat map dashboard. If you can start to see those connections, I think it's fair to say after running future

[00:44:57] danger since 2015, they can be a harbinger of a major crisis. Certainly. Now, I want to, before we move on with the news, shout out to Jay Ferg in the comments, said that the J6 part one footage was great. The first part of the show, if you guys missed it, we had NBC guy and intrepid commander himself.

[00:45:23] We were able to debut the first half of J6 footage from really the, uh, the Trump speech and, and kind of outside that area near the white house to where everyone started to march towards the Capitol part two, a week from today on tax day, it's going to be the end of the March at the Capitol and some activity around the Capitol.

[00:45:49] Won't really do any spoilers, but I did notice you lose a little bit of the fidelity of the video on the stream. That's just how streaming works. It's a little less bit rate. So not only are we giving intrepid commander as well as, uh, NBC guy copies of the full HD footage on a physical drive. We're going to upload next week, the full HD version of the J6 footage from front to back

[00:46:17] all the way, including footage around Capitol Hill. That will be debuted next week. Put that on rumble. So everyone out there can pause wherever they want. They can even download the footage and go frame by frame. If they want to do all types of analysis, this footage has never been seen. So I think it's worth sleuthing around perhaps future Dan, anything else you want to say for that final plug for next week? All first amendment rights are reserved. Yes.

[00:46:47] All first amendment rights reserved. In fact, uh, we are a news organization here at PBN and this is breaking news not to write ourselves into the story, but it is. So, all right. We talked about COVID vaccines a bit, parlayed that into military and just societal readiness for war with China. China, China ends military drills with simulated attacks on Taiwan ports, energy sites.

[00:47:17] Some of the live fire exercises only a hundred or a couple hundred yards off the shore of Taiwan. Taiwan, very, very close. I was, uh, traveling, you know, I was traveling on vacation recently and I went way further than a couple hundred yards off the coast. So live fire exercise. I mean, that is literally as, um, antagonizing as you can be.

[00:47:46] So hitting Taiwan ports, suffocating them, strangulating them full on blockade around Taiwan would be the plan when they actually land right after that or more of an attrition. Hard to know. Uh, but those military come to an end, I guess has some good news that they don't know. That's part of the plan. Yeah. It'll have lots of branches. They'd have lots of key decisions along the way if they tried it.

[00:48:15] They got so much data going into those that yes, the readiness of Taiwanese and U S military personnel and their families and their health is a factor. I think if they, if they think they have the, the situational awareness, the ISR that they would trust that they know where everything is, like you just suggested, they may have

[00:48:39] already tried to do it, but they do not have an advantage in electronic warfare, naval electronic warfare over our Navy. No chance. So, you know, that's, that's what they, they don't know. And that's why, you know, for example, Chinese nationals were caught, captured by Ukrainians. Like I think today or yesterday, right?

[00:49:06] So like North Korea has already, you know, had, had their units in support of Russia fighting. There's Chinese quote unquote volunteers in there too, because I mean, they're studying that drone landscape. The, the images coming out of Ukraine with all of these, you know, battered cities close to the front are all have optical wire filament just draping over like, you know, spider web

[00:49:35] scenes because all the drones have to be flown with by wire or they're jammed. Russians can't get anything in the air that is wirelessly controlled the West and in particular ourselves, but the British and several of those other nations aren't shabby at it either. Right. Can absolutely jam the electromagnetic, you know, spectrum. So radios don't work against us right now.

[00:50:04] A new creepy aspect of the battlefield draped fiber optics from expended drone ordinance. It's a scene that is really going to stand out is that's the first time that ever happened. And that was like the state of warfare in 2025. Yes. A hundred years from now, 300 years from now, hopefully civilization will still be going strong.

[00:50:31] They'll be looking at footage and just like we can spot civil war era, revolutionary war era, world war one era, world war two based off the helmets, the artillery, all those different things. Drones, huge. It'll be iconic. Yes. Yes. And the Chinese can't do the fly by wire drones across the Taiwan straight. I think you're starting to get, you know, beyond the distance of fly by wire. Right. So. Yeah.

[00:50:59] The presence around Taiwan, especially the electro, you know, electronic warfare capabilities. They're always there. They're always on constant alert. So great. If we could spend all these money and resources here to make civilization better instead of blowing each other up, maybe explore space, but not that simple. Obviously. What do you think about the three-star admiral fired?

[00:51:25] I was glad to see based on those circumstances, but also NSA cyber comp commander fired. What's going on there? Yeah. So kind of look at under current circumstances with the deep state that absolutely rejected the president during his first term. And you kind of say, all right, this kind of resembles seeing gold at an all-time high. You look at gold as an all-time high on the heat map.

[00:51:52] And you think, well, especially if you have gold, you're like, well, that's not bad. So generals being purged, you know, for cause in and of itself might, might not be dangerous, but in the overall structure of the news environment, it's just one more indicator that things are not normal right now. This doesn't normally happen. Right.

[00:52:18] The last time there's this amount of firings of four, there may never have been this many firings of three and four-star generals. So this probably is an unprecedented purge. Historians are going to be able to go back and look at, you know, different times and places. There's a lot of generals fired during both world wars, right, for performance. That's not exactly this environment.

[00:52:41] And if you study the Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the things that JFK spoke to his brother, RFK, the attorney general about when they were concerned that, you know, the chairman of the joint chiefs were not necessarily going to follow their orders. And they considered firing some during that crisis.

[00:53:06] And then they thought twice about what that was signaled to the Soviets, like how dangerous it is to, you know, be turning over your senior staff during a crisis. Right. But it proceeds. I think it's somewhat surgical right now. They're not doing it wholesale. Although promoting someone out of retirement to be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff,

[00:53:32] bypassing 300 active duty general and, you know, flag officers, admirals and generals. We haven't seen that before either. So all part of Trump 2.0 and not entirely surprising, not entirely dangerous in and of itself. But look at the heat map, Ben. We got red across three columns and black twice in one of the columns. We're heating up. We're heating up.

[00:54:01] I want to jump into the economics, but were there any other non-economic studies or articles you wanted to jump in? You want to talk about dire wolf last or now? It sounds pretty cool. I'm a dog person and I would like a dire wolf, but not actually. It's also very, it sounds very dangerous. Not too sure about this and kind of more of a tip of the iceberg. What are they really doing behind closed doors? What's your take on it?

[00:54:31] So they're exaggerating, right? This can't be done without, you know, having, you know, modern wild wolves. All wolves are wild, but having, you know, modern wolves be the surrogate, you know, they got to bear the offspring. But reading this article about, you know, how they behave, I don't know.

[00:54:57] They're big and they are not happy to be near people at all. So not, not to say that wolves, they're just basically, they brought in some DNA and made much bigger wolves and have been alive supposedly for thousands of years. You're right though. If they could do this publicly, what are they trying to do privately?

[00:55:21] They look cute when they're like eight pounds or four pounds, but yeah, they turn into, well, dire wolves. Those don't sound very friendly. And I'm more worried about a Jurassic Park scenario, but combine that with, what was it? Andromeda strain. I think it was Michael Crichton too, but some sort of virus coming out of the, the ice or from some sort of genetic mutation.

[00:55:50] Sounds like sci-fi, but COVID-19 would sound like sci-fi. I'm more worried about a mistake. I'm more worried about a scientist that is mentally ill and wants to, you know, seed something that wipes out species that we have. Sure. Modern species that are, you know, you know, and, you know, if you're going to make the argument that, you know, there's all kinds of protocols for that.

[00:56:15] Well, the Wuhan Institute of Virology had protocols that led to bad things. So yeah, nature is re-engineered. We're going to cover that sort of thing. It's on the, you know, decades before that would immediately affect your preps tonight. Right. But nevertheless, we, you know, we look at the very short term, like what's the VIX doing, the volatility index on Wall Street, all the way to, you know, generational problems.

[00:56:45] Well, something I think we can all agree with is we have generational problems in the economy. Trump's in there trying to fix it, trying to right the ship. I've said that things are so bad right now that even if I was in there, I don't think I'd be able to right the ship, but maybe have a little bit of a softer landing. I do, and we talked a little bit about this before, but I, you know, last week I do like tariffs to some degree.

[00:57:15] I prefer free trade or fair trade with those who play fair. China doesn't play fair. And there's a litany of countries that don't play fair at all or only a kind of fair. Everybody built the non-trade barriers in. First, they adopted the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. World Trade Organization and, you know, obviously NAFTA in this continent.

[00:57:39] And it was just a matter of time before every single company copying each other, diplomats and, you know, government officials, you know, watching what others were doing. And they built into their import-export operations just everything that just de facto blocks our goods. Well, there's worse going on, honestly. It's not even taking into account, such as pollution.

[00:58:08] These countries have an unfair advantage because they pollute the world. Now, that might be bad for them in the long term as well, but it also hurts the comments as well. That's what economists will call an externality. You're right. But it's bad. But it's not in the – it's not within the numbers, the money, the percent. Yeah. So holding them to account here isn't even truly holding them fully to account. And if you look at these numbers, China's putting 67% tariffs or even higher on the U.S.

[00:58:37] We're only putting like half of that. Not anymore. Not anymore, though. We do have some news. We're going to go right through this. This is all evolving very quickly, which is – This is an old article where it says, it's new tariff of 34. They responded with 34. And we already had 20% for fentanyl on top. It's 104 now compound. What can you buy from China? What do you want to pay – Some of it's additive. Yes.

[00:59:07] What do you want to pay that's made in China, Ben? What do you want to pay for that you've ever bought that was made in China? What do you want to pay for double the price? Can you name one thing made in China that was like, I got to have it. I'm going to have to pay double the price. What are the inelastic – Right. There's another economic therapy. Yeah. Externalities and inelastic and elasticity in the curve there.

[00:59:37] Anything? Can you think of anything from China you're going to have to pay twice for now? A couple. However, I have some reasons as a prepper. I won't need much of them, hopefully. But number one, medication. I know a lot of medication is made in China, and it would be hard to pivot. I don't take any medication. Knock on wood. So that won't affect me. But that's very inelastic for a lot of – Medical supply. Supply and – Yeah, both supply and demand.

[01:00:05] It's hard to start – spin up – Well, not necessarily certain medical equipment could be made pretty quickly here in America, but other chemical factories, pharmaceuticals, et cetera, can't just – Well, you're talking about buying them. Not just everyday life stuff. Preps. Both. Both. Well, whether it's your preps and or actual medication at your local CVS or whatever,

[01:00:33] a lot of it's made in China, and it'll be hard to find it in other places. I'm happy to not get anything from China in that regard. Yeah. Well, I have very little to no exposure to that. Like I said, knock on wood, so it doesn't really affect me. What does is electronics. Electronics, even things that come out of Korea and Japan have a lot of Chinese components.

[01:00:57] I have a lot of great electronics, and I don't expect to need to buy any for three-plus years, whether it's computers, monitors, microphones. James Walton was talking about this a little earlier today, or maybe it was yesterday, about how he has like a backup microphone, but not on like two or three. So if they both break, he's going to have to splurge and bite the bullet, pay the tear. But hopefully, that won't be necessary, or maybe there will be some microphones made in America

[01:01:27] or made 100% in Japan, and Japan plays fair with us, whereas China doesn't, for example. Every single Asian exporter of electronics right now has been put by Trump in a position where when the supply chains readjust, the further China digs in, and they may even retaliate, and it may even go higher. Every one of those other Asian exporters is going to be scrambling to be like,

[01:01:56] all right, are we going to make the decision to bring the factories onto our shore and cut a deal with the Americans so, you know, they got the business, right? Yeah. And he's restructuring all those economies. Like, April 2nd is a gigantic day in history. And it has risks, but the U.S. has a ton of negotiating power. And as time goes on, it gets less and less negotiating power.

[01:02:26] So it's good to do this now rather than try to do it five or ten years from now. It won't have as much sway as America, hopefully temporarily, but has been losing some of its power, whether hard or soft power. This is right here the most up-to-date. And we do have a lot of news economically. So some of it was from yesterday. Some of it was from Friday.

[01:02:51] But this is from today, Tuesday, the 8th of April, episode 300. Dow was down another 320 points, closed at 37,600. I said, I think it was last week. Maybe it was two weeks. I think maybe it was last week. I said 35K. Yeah. So that's quick. It went from 42 to 37 real fast. I said. You think things start to break at 35.

[01:03:21] That's when people are going to get real. Not even. That's where it starts to break. It's not the edge of the cliff where everything falls off after that. But 35, it's like, uh-oh. Maybe we really do need Jerome Powell and friends to step in with some sort of quantitative easing or rate cuts, emergency rate cuts. I think if it gets below 28,000 or 30,000, then people will be like, oh, no. This is becoming the new 2008.

[01:03:50] Even at that rate, it won't be that oversold. The stock market has such a crazy run-up since COVID, mostly because of easy money and inflation. Slowly. So there's, properly speaking, no crash. Just a, you know, maybe a overdue bear market. Yeah. Yeah. A wind down. Another 10 or 20% over like two or three months. Trump detox of the economy. It is. That is a way to look at it.

[01:04:19] And these tariffs are a detox. So I like the way. But it's not going to work if they use. I'm no expert on this. But you have, you know, if you're a heroin addict, I think it's like Suboxone or some other methadone. One of those are both. You use that to deal with the withdrawals. But, you know, if you use that stuff wrong or you go off it too quick, you could die. So the worry is that these tariffs and stuff are too much of a shock to the patient.

[01:04:47] But if we, but I think we can power through it and it is a good detox. But the worry is if we just cut interest rates to 0% and do all types of stimulus checks and deficit spending, then that's not going to be a real detox. It's just going to kick it down the road more, you know? So we'll see. Hey, last episode, it was the world debut of a new economic term, unenflament. Unemployment and inflation at the same time.

[01:05:17] A real bad mix. That can only really solve one end of that two-part problem, right? Yeah. And rates, rate cuts and rate increases only help one or the other, right? It's a problem for them. Oh, it's a real tough problem. And if they do cut it to 0% and it's not really working very well, then they'd really be in trouble. But I'm not expecting that conundrum quite yet.

[01:05:47] Let's take a look at these charts here. Let's even go back five years. Look at this run-up, though. So July of 2020, the market was at $26,000. This is the Dow. So went from $26,000 to $45,000 in five years, four or five years. Almost doubling. But then again, the price almost everything doubled.

[01:06:14] Maybe not literally, but some of that is, you know, the dollar isn't purchased as much. But still, look at where we're at here. At $37,000, we're still only back to, let's call it December of 23. So we've lost a year of stock market gains, but it's nowhere near great financial crisis or Great Depression.

[01:06:38] Even when I said $35,000, that's only back to, you know, October, November of 23. It's really, you know, this $30,000 line that would have to be breached to scare everyone to death. Yeah, rough if you're 75 and retired and living off your 401k, though. So yes, yes, I would say as much, but interest rates are going down.

[01:07:05] So bond market going up, if they had a less aggressive portfolio, might be helpful for them. Also, if I was 75, I would have been in some gold and silver. Gold has lost some ground, but still near the 3K mark. Silver at $29.50. Point is, gold and silver are not at their all-time high like they were last week. But they have not lost that much in the last, you know, week when the markets have lost 10, 15, 20% certain stocks.

[01:07:34] So gold and silver playing their role. Bitcoin was actually doing pretty well resisting it until today. 76K right now. A little capitulation today, 76. Covering margin calls, aren't they? Same thing we always talk about.

[01:07:54] When the crisis comes, Bitcoin holdings are sacrificed to cover other bigger bets among the hedge funds. Is that accurate? Maybe simplistic, but kind of the right idea? I think so. It's very liquid. It's super easy to sell Bitcoin, unlike physical gold, which can take a lot of fees and time and security to move and sell physical gold.

[01:08:21] So much more liquid, but that works on the way up and on the way down. And you got to remember a good portion of the rise from, let's call it 55,000, 60,000 around the election before. And just before from 60,000 up to 110K. And now at 76K today, at least a third, if not half of that is from Wall Street.

[01:08:47] A lot of that's not from Wall Street, but a good portion is with the ETFs. So easy come, easy go. Those ETFs have only been in the last six months or a year. They're not dieharders. They're just looking for quarter to quarter performance. They're losing big on a lot of other investments. So yeah, they got to sell some Bitcoin, get out of Dodge. For Bitcoin, kind of the scary mark would be under 70K. You lose 70K.

[01:09:15] It's not end of the world or anything, but that's where people will be like, oh, this is not a great circumstance. Sure, you can buy low. But going from 110K to 70K, it won't make anyone happy. Bitcoin, though, has dropped 50 plus percent like 10, 15, 20 times in its life. So it's kind of part of the game, actually. You used the term earlier.

[01:09:42] You used the term soft power, right? And soft power, hard power, hard power is military, kinetic strike. Soft power is all the other dimensions, whole of government approach, right? The diplomatic, the economic, all the other, you know. And society, like I think, I was thinking Hollywood. Everyone hates Hollywood these days. But think about the 80s. Hollywood had the world in a trance. All kinds of soft power, right? So economics, one of them.

[01:10:12] Trump is wielding more soft power in a more impactful way than we've ever seen in our lifetimes. And I'm looking, thinking back, you know, of the criticisms of George W. Bush, the invasion of Iraq and, you know, getting bogged in Afghanistan. And, you know, there's big, big segments of the security establishment in our country that were, you know, critical that he wasn't exercising soft power.

[01:10:41] They were, in fact, sacrificing it by doing those invasions. I think Trump would be, you know, rightly characterized as one of the critics of, you know, us not executing soft power. The irony of it is the people that were, you know, the soft power advocates never expected a president like Trump to come along and do what has been done with tariffs.

[01:11:07] And just to remind the audience, you know, the power to set tax rates, that's clearly an Article I U.S. Congress power. And they delegated it. They delegated it all the way in from the early 90s in the era of the rise of globalism. They delegated it all to the president of the United States.

[01:11:31] So, you know, 30 plus years later, here we have a president using all the powers that Congress legally delegated. And they might want to take that power back so that but they won't. Right. They're going to complain about it, but they won't. Because imagine we had a Congress that can barely pass one bill a year having to deal with setting tariffs themselves. The institution's sort of incapable of it. But they could.

[01:11:59] The founders would probably say they should. Well, how difficult is it? But I agree. They'd have to repeal a bunch of laws and then they'd have to set all the tax rates on other countries themselves. They built their own destruction.

[01:12:16] That's why with the roles reversed, with the right in power, or let's just say the populist or the common sense people, even empowered, we should not get overbearing and try to sow the seeds of our own future destruction by trying to strip away other protections. And, you know, we're not likely to do it as much, in my opinion.

[01:12:38] But something to keep in mind, you know, we want to follow lawful and legal methods because, you know, it'll be used against us once the other party gets some power down the line, et cetera, et cetera. But they're getting some blowback for what's been done 10, 20 years ago, for sure. All kinds of taboos are being broken right now. Yeah. Yeah. All right. This is the most recent one from noon today.

[01:13:07] The 104% tariff of China. So, yeah, it's been stairs stepped up like a few times. Like you said, a de facto boycott. I was looking for the article even on the way back machine. Wasn't able to find it, but I first set up a blog in 2011, September 2011. 10-year anniversary of September 11th was like the second article I wrote. Like the fourth or fifth.

[01:13:35] So, early 2012, I think, to be honest. I wrote one called Boycott Chinese Slave Goods, something like that. I forgot the exact headline, but it was going into all the ways China was abusing its own people, abusing us by way of these trade agreements and all globalist favoritism towards them at the behest of American

[01:14:03] and just the West generally, manufacturing capabilities, et cetera, and all the abhorrent things China was doing. So, I wrote that back in 2012. The infiltration of a political party since then. There you go. And a bio war since then. Yeah. If I put myself in my 2012 shoes while I was writing that, both those things combined,

[01:14:30] plus actually having a president that took them on instead of capitulate and acted like controlled opposition, that probably would have surprised me the most. But all those things would have surprised me in a way. But I also know, even back then, interacting with not China because they're Chinese people, but their communist government that has its tendrils in every single aspect of their economy and life. Working with them, buying from them is just not good.

[01:14:58] So, yes, yes, I've bought some stuff made in China. But even back then, I tried hard and continue to try hard not to buy that crap. And now that it's going up double or more in price, it'll be easier to recognize what has Chinese crap in it. You know? You know the argument in the 90s about free trade was that it would liberalize, small l, like the good old concept of liberal, right? Liberalize those regimes.

[01:15:27] That authoritarian regimes would get connected with the West and adopt other norms. Chinese Communist Party never expected that to happen, right? They're just going to seize control. And basically, it's neo-fascism, really. It's not pure Marxist Stalinism anymore.

[01:15:53] It's building the state and the economy into one. And it's been a very dangerous thing for the entire time that we in the West naively thought that free trade would promote all other kinds of freedoms. It has not. Unfortunately, it hasn't. Chinese government was pretty smart and dedicated a lot of resources towards things like the Great Firewall.

[01:16:24] And I'm sure they had a lot in place to keep news from the West about COVID, what was going on. I've been going down some rabbit holes. Won't go too deep into it myself right now. But I'm still researching. There's a lot more deaths, it seems, in China from COVID than here on a percentage and definitely on a total number of dead basis.

[01:16:50] So anyway, a lot of stuff going on there with China. And these tariffs aren't all towards China, of course, but it is the number one target. And that's the one that's getting escalated hand over fist right now. Bankruptcies. Yes, we're seeing U.S. company bankruptcies jump 20%. That's year over year. Prooding the dead wood or a problem?

[01:17:20] Needs to happen. I wonder how many of these bankruptcies are related to Doge. Because I don't think many would be quite yet. So a lot more bankruptcies, especially. There's been a many. Coming down the road. In process right now. There's been hundreds of bankruptcies in that sector. USAID. Many more coming, though. Ended several hundred companies.

[01:17:49] The end of USAID ended many companies that were exclusively doing business for USAID. That's for sure. So 20% for businesses, small businesses, increased by 20%. But individual bankruptcy filings for individuals up 13%. Credit card delinquencies are up. So it's the very high debt burden that we talk about.

[01:18:16] We've been talking about for 300 episodes here on Patriot Power Hour, episode 300. And we've been guests on other shows that we've talked about. Some more than 300 episodes we've talked about. Debt burden. But it's that high interest rate. Especially persistent. If interest rates were only high for two or three months, it would be kind of in passing. But those interest rates have been going up, up for the last, really, 18 months. Although those interest rates are dropping right now.

[01:18:41] Now, as the stock market goes down, interest rates go down, too. Which is sort of a silver lining in a roundabout way. Most of those federal contractors have lines of credit to cover their payrolls. But they're not... You know, you don't think of that industry as heavy, heavy borrowers. I am now looking at this and wondering, is there a bankruptcy problem on the horizon?

[01:19:09] Or is this really a 20% spike because all the contractors that are done after Doge? There's a lot of them. My finger in the wind guesstimation is a lot more bankruptcies will come from Doge. Working its way through the system. Number one. Number two, there'll be a lot of bankruptcies. People who got caught on the wrong end of these tariffs.

[01:19:37] But maybe those needed to happen. But to counter that, there should be a lot of new jobs springing up. So we might see a lot of bankruptcies. But new business creation, new job creation, in theory, should counterbalance that in the medium to long term. What is that? One month, three months, one year, three years. We'll find out. This is quite a case study in economics. But my point is, I think we're going to see bankruptcies at the corporate level and individual level go up and up and up all through the year.

[01:20:07] With the right incentives, in 2025, given the technology that we have, I would compare to look at how quickly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Within five years, look at the plant and infrastructure that was running to output the arsenal, the military might to win World War II. Now, fast forward to 2025.

[01:20:37] Does our system incentivize a massive growth of plants for all kinds of manufacturing? I'm not sure. But I think this first deal that is supposedly under negotiation with the Japanese. Japanese are said to be first in line to come and make a deal with Trump, right?

[01:21:04] I wanted to ask you, we've long seen headlines and talked about Japan's got a demographic problem that don't have the workforce at younger ages. Are we going to get to the point where multinational, Japanese owned corporations, technology, hardware producing, they're going to actually come to the United States for the labor, for the lower cost labor or labor that just isn't available in Japan?

[01:21:33] I feel like they do that a little bit with car manufacturing, but they'll do it. They already do. Yeah. I agree. That's kind of like the direction I think Trump's looking for. South Korea and Japan. Yeah. Moved a lot of plants in the United States. It would definitely strengthen our alliance in both of those countries. And we got the land. And in my opinion, we got the idle population. Now our population has kind of been stupefied and poisons.

[01:22:00] So it's not going to be so easy to rally up all these qualified new workers out of nowhere. But it can be done. And we can also facilitate legal and smart immigration of skilled people come in right over a certain process. So putting that all together, but especially for actual domestic citizens of America getting. I think there's a lot of potential there. These will be the most advanced plants that anybody could possibly build.

[01:22:30] Right. They'll be built from the ground up using AI to design how the human machine interface functions. Right. These will be highly robotized plants. It's not going to take. HQ 1138. It's not going to be just like, you know, fields of workers going down to the port and hammering rivets into ships. Right. This is going to be different. But.

[01:23:00] You just need to harness all the kids that play like Call of Duty and video games. If only that energy can be harnessed by the AI. I don't think that's going to work. But I feel like part of a societal problem. So we got to get it together. I'm not looking down on the average American right now, but I bet the average American right now is not as tough as the average American in 1941. I don't know if they have to be, though. Right.

[01:23:28] Being technologically savvy, you know, resetting systems that are underway, inspecting quality assurance. Amazon warehouses are, you know, state of the art in that regard. Employ a lot of people. We'll see. We'll see. I'm not I'm not trying to advocate for or against trade severely declining.

[01:23:48] It is one of many indicators and definitely the economic system in the world is at risk of hitting some breaking points in 2025. And I had predicted that if the powers that be, the, you know, the nefarious they of unknown origin, the secret cabal that. Of globalists somewhere, if they were going to bring about a collapse.

[01:24:18] 2027, late 2027 before, you know, the next presidential election would be the time to do it. And the powers that could, you know, convey to Trump in an economic crisis. I don't know. Maybe, you know, he has sort of two ways to win on tariffs. Plan A, collect the tariff. Right. Increase the revenue to the U.S. Treasury. Right. Start to work off the deficit, budget deficit.

[01:24:48] Plan B, get deals cut where jobs come back to the United States. Plant comes back to the United States. Investment comes to the United States. And other companies prosper at the expense of, you know, obvious adversaries like China. Yeah. But plan C is it all breaks and Trump gets even more emergency powers in that kind of crisis. I don't think he wants plan C, but it's could be there for him.

[01:25:20] Exactly. He doesn't want plan C. It's going to be a little bit of all three. It's just you ever seen those triangles where it's kind of like you can allocate to the three different ends of the triangle. You only have a certain amount you can allocate. So it makes a different shape based on how you wait to the three sides of the spectrum. Well, those are the three chart, right? It'd be a spider chart. I don't know. I should know what this is called. Dang it.

[01:25:49] I can see it in my mind's eye. Okay. But we're going to get out of here. It is. There you go. Spider chart. That's a good way to put it. So this one's like got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. This one's a more complicated spider chart, but just three. Just imagine three points. And I think it's going to have a little bit of failure. Plan C. It's just that's from the economic point of view, there's going to be some deadweight loss,

[01:26:18] which means some people are going to become unemployed. Some prices are going to go up. Some people are going to have to shift from their preferred imported good to a less costly domestic good. More costly. Or more costly. Exactly. Domestic good. But, well, it'll be less. I don't know. I'll go into it. But that's going to happen to some degree. But there's also going to be some tariffs collected, which is good. And there's also going to be some people or more like businesses that move back, maybe people too.

[01:26:48] But what's the spread of that is the question. And that's why it'll be quite a case study for history. I won't trust the real numbers from the Federal Reserve, though, for quite a while. There you go. Episode 300. Quite a milestone. It was. Episode 300. We got 72 live spread across X and Rumble. Thanks to each and every one of you for joining episode 300 live.

[01:27:17] If you missed it in the first half of the show, we had January 6th footage. That's pretty much the first part one, I guess, of the J6 footage. Part two of the footage coming next week live on Tax Day, April 15th. I hate Tax Day, but we're going to be posting something to counterbalance the tax, the oppressive tax.

[01:27:43] Future Dan, any other articles you wanted to get to or anything you wanted to say about 300 episodes before we get out of here for the night? I want to thank our audience and James and Dave for joining us on episode 300. And looking forward to talking with them again next week when we look at the entire flow of that video, part two, it escalates. It escalates. It gets more serious. So you ain't seen nothing yet.

[01:28:11] We will debut that live next Tuesday. And look forward to reacting with our audience. Send us notes. I can be reached at at future danger six. Where can everybody reach you, Ben? At Bankster Breaker. At Bankster Breaker on X is probably the best way. And yeah, if you notice anything odd in any of that footage, either from this week or next

[01:28:37] week, especially when we put the full video in its entirety in full HD on Rumble, let us know. We'd like to investigate that. Maybe circle some interesting activity going on. Maybe crowdsource that. All right, man. Another great episode 300 in the book. We'll be back live 301 next week. What do you say? What do you say? We'll talk to you then.

[01:29:04] Looking forward to talking to you about the news all this year on Patriot Power Hour on the Prepper Broadcasting Network.

[01:30:17] Give us a like.
