Patriot Power Hour #334 - Silver $99, Gold $4,960 & Trump vs The Fed

M HM statement of purpose. Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? You decide your love love involvement. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. 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 Future danger dot com. Patriot Power Hour Live January twenty second, twenty twenty six. It is the three hundred and thirty fourth episode of Patriot Power Hour, and we are a hair away from five thousand dollars gold and one hundred dollars silver live as we broadcast this Thursday evening. I've been the Breaker of Banksters here with Future Dan. We got a big bankster episode of Day Future Day. We got these prices, but we got Supreme Court here in testimony about essentially the Fed independence or lack thereof, and we got many other articles and news items go through today, so action pack as always, this. Is a giant breaking the Bankster's episode of Patriot Power Hour. Fifty to one gold to silver ratio could actually like happen simultaneously. That's like stars like lining up for an eclipse right with the moon and other planets. It's it's it's rare, and it's you know, at these prices historic and and we're gonna get into deep discussion on the fundamentals of what it's meant to have a federal reserve in place for you know, what is one hundred and. Thirteen years something like that, exactly nineteen thirteen. It was at least enacted, you know, voted in December, just before Christmas nineteen thirteen. And yeah, all that and above and maybe this was left there on purpose, maybe not, I'm not sure where, but here on stream yards are live video broadcast. A background was already set and it was a golden vault with gold everywhere, all types of gold. It reminded me of Scrooge McDuck and like the big vault of gold that his nephews would jump into or whatever. Anyway, whatever, it looks pretty cool. It's cool looking into itself. But the fact that literally as a hit start as a hit on air for our show today, gold ticked up again to an all time high. It's just below that fifty or excuse me, five thousand and fifty thousand. Who knows at this rate but nine and fifty nine dollars. But you said this just before we went on air, that this is without knowing what's gonna occur with the Supreme Court, with the Fed independence, just to get everybody up to speed, and then I want to hear what you to say about this future. And yesterday the twenty first, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump versus Cook, Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve Governor, that Trump wanted to fire over mortgage application or alleged mortgage application errors back in October. He did, well, okay, we did. We agreed, he did agree on that. We said that in all effect, fired the Supreme Court in October twenty twenty five, you know, said hey, we're deferring this, but we'll hear it. And now that's been heard, apparently, and this is the upshot. It's gonna take until the summer to get a decision, late spring to summer, so maybe May June. So it's not gonna be imminent whether we know if the presidential removal authority exists, as they put it here on Scotis blog. But future day, can you run us through this, and how really Gold's run up doesn't even include what, you know, a potential result of this. Yeah, it seems to be independent of each other. But you know it's not just this case, right, we could get a decision on tariffs momentarily, that too is going to directly affect rabens in gold and silver markets. So yes, consequential things going in and coming out of the Supreme Court process. And listening to the ultimate bankster bankster radio possible Bloomberg. I do consume a lot of Bloomberg programming, if for no other reason, because I'd like to know exactly what the opposition has to say at all times, right, you know, and and it's it's at a certain level of understanding that you know, it's not just you know, diatribe and you know, the your standard cable news, you know, lowest common denominator kind of stuff. Bloomberg does, you know, take it to the next level and fight at that level. So I like to listen to it. And they want you to think that the Federal Reserve is automatically accepted as independent and Trump's just running up against the wall. They really want it to be his waterloo because he's got a lot of winds so far in these you know, relatively extreme moves as a president acting on Article two power. And well, I always envision a multi head hydra. I'm not the first to come up with that analogy. And there's no way that central banking is not one of those heads, if not the central head, if not just the heart. My point is, they can't let this fly. They're already losing so much out on so many other aspects to try that. He was they who let's not do the. Who supports Bloomberg, who supports Bloomberg, who owns Bloomberg. Bloomberg owns Bloomberg, doesn't he exactly? So he's one of they for sure. Okay, the people you're talking about, the banksters, Jamie Diamond being suited by Trump right now by the y Yeah he is, Yeah, he is. And that's gonna bring me full circle to you know, Trump's going after this head of the hydra, this heart of the hydra. He's he's not holding back. So maybe we'll defer your emotional take on that where you were with Trump's circa night, you know, twenty sixteen to now. But this is a full on assault on the banksters by this president, and where's gonna lead to We'll will Trump have a waterloo and be told, you know, in this case that he doesn't have the power to fire you know the you know, according to the you know, the act that established a federal reserve. Listening to Bloomberg, you know, it's just you know, a matter of eight different ways that the Supreme Court can avoid the question. Right, Lisa Cooke didn't get a fair hearing. Therefore, you know, do overs, all kinds of duover scenario county, right, all kinds of technicalities not get into any kind of constitutional question and answer. But then there is a problem for that. There's a big there's a there's a big problem for the Supreme Court in that regard. Well, in my opinion, the more damaging thing that Trump really better hope doesn't happen is with respect to the tariffs, because that'll nuke the economy. We've talked about how we essentially agree with the tariffs, but it's one of those where you can't turn it on for six or twelve months and then turn it off. It'll it'll have such negative impact, like only bad, nothing good could come of it. Whereas fed you know, from a ideological point of view the FED independence. I almost expect them to rule that the Fed is independent and it's just part of the course whatever we know. It's bs Supreme Courts bought out, I hope not. But it won't have any it won't destroy the economy. But if the tariffs get removed and there's no recourse, then Trump not only has an egg on his face politically embarrassed, but the stop go left right upside down of having tariffs, not having tariffs, what's going on. It'll just it'll be really bad in these actual business economics. I don't know. I don't know if I agree with that we never seen this before. There could be all kinds of compound effects, and that some of them might not all be negative. I don't know, I don't It would be unprecedented for sure. So on the tariffs, I don't know if I agree with you that reversing him would be economically damaging, especially if the President goes with the Second Act or the Third Act or laws that that that Congress delegated tariff making authority. It's it's actually taxation. The Constitution does say that arcle one Congress has that power, and during George Herbert Walker Bush's terms. That's when it was transferred, right, so that we could enter into the new World Order. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade became the World Trade Organization NAFTA. Right like like, the consensus in Washington, d c. At the start of the nineties was, you know, this is not a job for Congress, so let's give it to the president. And they did, and they did it in a bunch of different laws over time. And Trump cited probably the weakest of the delegations from Congress to the presidency for the tariffs he picked. He picked the emergency version. And I think we talked about previously on our show. When he did it, it's, you know, about a year ago that you know he's going to test out that with the constitutional arguments. But they got others, they got backups, they got other tariff make you know, laying authority. Trump's gonna just reapply them all under a different rule the day after he's ruled against. I think that's very and I think he's hinting at it. This isn't exactly a secret. If you've been paying attention. All right, prepared for it. Well, it depends will the investment believe that, you know, believe in it or not. I suppose, Well, they're gonna have to. Believe in the next law that he invokes, which will cause lawsuits, which will run it all the way through up and he's one by one, he's going to apply these tariffs until the Supreme Court individually rules each one unconstitutional. That Congress never could delegate that power except for here's the problem with that. No one ensued the Supreme Court made that argument. None of them wanted. You know, none of them are constitutional originalists, So that actual argument was ever made before the court. And you know, pree court justice can do a lot and then dissenting and you know, concurring opinions and stuff suggest you know, other constitutional pass for this stuff. So I would expect that, you know, even if Trump loses on this first shot at emergency tearff making power, that you'll probably hear from Thomas or Scalia that, you know, I thought, I want to know what they're thinking about. Should Congress have ever been allowed to pass the power of taxation to the presidency when the Framers absolutely didn't put it there. Well, I personally am tracking Supreme Court a lot closer than I did even a year ago, let alone five or ten years ago. So I got watch lists going paying much closer attention. Uh, it's possibly the I don't know all three are important, but I feel like a lot of things are going to come down to rulings in the Supreme Court in the end next year or two. Earlier, I suggested that, you know, the Supreme Court has a big problem on its hands with the with the Trump versus Cook and and and and this is something that Bloomberg Radio shows for constitutional law. They they touch on it because they know it's out there. It's just lurking, you know, to them, it's a you know, just a behemoth lurking under the water, and they're afraid of it. And and and what that is is that the FTC head was fired by Trump. And they've already upheld that that that that that's that's an ef that's an official that that that that is not Senate confirmed. And therefore, you know, the president can summarily fire them. Right, So where's the boundaries on this? Right? He can his commander in chief, he can dismiss anybody in any change of command throughout any part of the Department of Defense without question. Obviously, if you work in the White House. But he's you know, Trump's administration is coming after the deep state and taking it out. And I'm gonna look for that. Where where does Supreme Court draw the line if it draws the line on on Article two powers right the presidents, you know, ultimate executive authority. And I'm also looking for Thomas and Alito, and Kavanaugh, and and and and and the rest that were appointed by Trump to really consider the argument that if if the Framers wanted a fourth branch of government that was appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, just like the Supreme Court is, but to have a fourth branch of government concocted by a president Woodrow Wilson in one hundred and thirteenth Congress one hundred and thirteen years ago, if if president had the power to sign a law that created essentially a fourth branch of government to handle financing, right, then you know, how's that dovetail with the three branches that the Founders who fought King George stood against all of the British monarchy before George the Third with him and after because of what that tyranny was, and a big part of its tyranny was the Bank of England, Right were we ye know and Thomas that Jefferson was actly against having that in the United States? Right? Hamilton was for it. But most of the other major powers and the you know, the major voices in writing the Constitution, they were against it. It wasn't in there, it wasn't supposed to be in there, So two chances for the Supreme Court to set things straight. I would be in favor of pushing all tear off powers directly back to Congress and making them handle it should not be a presidential power. And I think Trump's opponents home and abroad are beginning to agree with that idea. It was a great idea to delegate to the president until it wasn't from their perspective. I think it belongs in Article one power with Congress, and I think the Federal Reserve did nothing more in executive power. And if we're going to have a central bank, then obviously a popularly elected president should run it. Perfectly said some great insights there. I don't see the fat as anything more than the Department of Education, so you'd be able to freaking abolish it fire put in whoever he wants. I'm sure from a legal standpoint, it's a little different. Wouldn't that be the ultimate breaking of the banksters? Yeah? I mean if that's not holding them accountable, then who is. As you said, it's not a constitutional amendment a fourth branch. So how's this for a law that could come out of a future Congress and signed by a future president. What if we change it so the committee that votes on the interest rate, the Ford Open Market Committee, or whatever they want to call it, enshrine that in law and make it the president the United States appoints twelve senators to it, Make them do the job, make them stand up for election after making their decisions. Democratize it. Wouldn't that would break bankster's big time. We'd have to listen to all this myth about we are just nothing more than subjected to a secret cabal who you know controls those dollars, so it controls the world. Hocus pocus. Just kill it, kill it all this year. If you can't literally fire one of the twelve members, then you have no control over it. You have no control over it. Yeah it take it out of the president's hands. Take it out of the president's hands. Make it so they has to appoint a senator. The senator has to take it whether they want it or not. Centator has to act in that regard or you know, face censure and expulsion from the Senate. But the president can't fire a senator. That would be a way to really democratize it, you know, just having this pull up bureau sitting over the side for one hundred and thirteen years. It's one of the biggest bastardizations of our original constitution. We got a chance to get rid of it. I don't want to believe where this, but it seems like we're this close. We got to keep pressing because it's like within grasp. But it ain't over yet. So I'm loving it. I'm loving what Trump's doing. I need other people to step up with in any capacity. You can a lot of capacities for your average prepper out there. I got a few ways, but uh, if you have capacity at your workplace, with your family, with your friends, with organizations like anything, you can to break them. This isn't the end. If if if they they'll probably find a you know, a weasel way out of it and say that Cook should have been invited to a meeting and red notice of her reason for being fired before she was fired or some bullshit like that. But if this isn't the end, if they don't, you know, uphold this during Trump's term, it's a major crack in the armor of this institution for you know, that's been entirely undemocratic and proudly on democratic by the financial elite. It's entirely illiberal, like small l you know, seventeenth century definition of liberal right like like it's it's monocial, it's aristotic, aristocratic, I should say so. It's been a cancer on this republic since the founding of the Federal Reserve. We should have a debate should there be a central bank, and it would be hard to argue against it. Most people would want one. But let's control it with people we vote for. Got to hold them accountable one way or another. And people don't even know the names of how most people probably don't know the name of Powell. If you pulled the general public, a lot more know the head of the Fed than maybe twenty or thirty years ago. Sometimes the head of the Fed, the Green Spans Bernankes, they gat a little bit of fame, infamous maybe, but the others, you know, the whole panel committee they just they're just a big question mark shadow question mark. Of course they have a profile, you can go see who they are and whatnot, but they're not actually held accountable. You can't even get fired by the head of the executive for cause. I believe it's for cause. But that's kind of what's up for debate. I suppose. They're going to argue that, you know that whatever she did to defraud mortgages by having two checked off on some form happened before she was in office, so that the president doesn't have the power to fire her. But again, he can fire any general at any moment for any reason he wants, and they're all going to obey. Why is the fair Reserve different from that? Hey, just the fact that this is all being thrust into the spotlight, into the Supreme courts is better than I ever thought get out of any president. So there you go. And what's the terminology when they dismiss senior officers and the military's command has lost faith something like that, you know, lost lost trust, lost confidence in the in the commander, and they are they're therefore relieved right for any allegation for anything that effects the the outcome of whatever mission. That unit's performing right. If it's if it's a distraction at all, there's shadow cast upon anybody in any command, they're gone, and there's there's no argument to that. That's that should be the entire government. In my opinion. The first sentence of the Article to the Constitution says the executive powers invested in the President of the United States, not some not one president can sign a law with the Congress and forever preclude his successors from having that power. That doesn't make sense, that's no coherent Really, looking again at Thomas and Scalia for their chance to put a mark on this and and with you know, the FTC Commissioner gone, and that's already been decided. So they got to square this circle. If they don't square it now, it's gonna spotlight this idea that the FED is entirely and utterly different just because it's for banking. Future Dad killing it today twenty second of January twenty twenty six. You are officially a breaker of the banksters as well. Hey, are you selling gold the butt or are selling coined by gold right now? Or what? No? Never, No, it's always a hold on that. Okay, Yes, millennial gold supersedes the way back. Way back in the day, I sold a little bit of big coin for some silver and gold, but not much, and hey, uh, it would be quite a would have been quite a move. But you've already missed the move because bitcoin's down from one hundred and twenty k to ninety k and in that time gold and silver nearly doubled. So I would have totally missed the move to sell my bitcoin and buy gold at these rates. Doesn't mean that won't continue. And you even talked about the gold to silver ratio throwing bitcoin to the corner. That's been compressing kind of crazy, but gold is starting to catch up a little bit. Yeah, but it's certainly possible that a year from now, bitcoins seventy grand and gold six thousand. There's no there's no saying that, oh that was missed when that could be in effect for another year. Oh yes, you could always go to zero. And so if I didn't sell now and it goes to zero five years, then I really screwed up. You know, there's that sunk cost fallacy, or I missed the high so it's too late to execute my plans for preppers. That's a great analogy. Hey, you think it's too late to start prepping, it's probably not too late get prepping, but you're right. But right now, nope, I'm just holding tight on everything. Actually, yeah, a little regret that I don't have more gold, silver and bitcoin, but also not sad about the amount that I do have. Are you prepping for a mega snowstorm the likes of which we haven't seen in two years, which is panicking south, south, and eastern in the United States? Well, no, not at all. Road So you know, basic government, basic local government functions in many places are not what they used to be, so I'd say that makes it a little bit more dangerous. But handic buyings out there tonight. None of this is on the heat map dashboard. I didn't think it rated, but it is. It is frending news right now. I did a ton of shopping on Monday, and it wasn't particularly elevated people that you know, a number of people there, But I'm sure it's a cluster out there right now, so I'm well squared away from that. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, so multiple times as a kid I got three feet of snow, and multiple times a year got two feet of snow. What was the longest Jewer snowed in? Though it only would be a few days because our plow. You know, there's just massi amount of plows. And most of my neighbors had plows on their four by fours or whatever, So I mean, well prepared for massive snow does make it difference. If you got like two plows for a city of five hundred thousand, you're probably pretty screwde. We did when I was a kid. We did a week with no electricity, so we. Never lost We lost a tristy for like one day, that's it, not a whole week. Wow. Yeah. And the road got plowed like it always did because I came from the north, and you know they have to they have to be atle plower. You know, everything would cease, right, Nobody go to school and nobody go to work if they implow the road. So, but the power lines above ground power lines collapsed and my house had nothing for a week, and so we burned fires in the chimney and to stay warm. And I was a kid, we got to go down to the restaurant and eat every night in town. So that was great nice. Oh yeah, for sure. I love snow days. You know, it's it's all good to get a little tests of preps. I don't expect power to go out where I'm at, However, if it does, I've been meaning to do a seventy two hour or one week no power drill. Don't really want the inconvenience because I got a lot of work to do in my life. But bring it on, you know, let's do it right. And then it comes into you know, how much food do you have that you have to keep refrigerated running generators? I know Dave Jones is prepared for this storm, like all of his stocks, all of his frozen foods is well backed up to not go to waste. No, I'm saying, you know, I was joking with someone. I could go eight weeks, easy money. I could go longer than that, but let's just say eight weeks. But Jones eight years easy easy, eight years. He could go. The back channels had a picture of the Titan. I believe they were a sponsor at one point of PBN one heck of a setup. I don't have that kind of generator or battery pack, but I got enough to keep things going. You know what's great though about power power outages in the winter. First, you could stay warm if you have wood in a wood burner, which I have. Second, if power goes out, I don't worry about all my food spoiling. I'm just gonna throw all the freaking it's gonna the weather says it's not gonna be above freezing for the five days thereafter, So I don't worry about my frozen food spoiling. Well, you do. If you keep it inside of space that you're heating with your stove, you might have to take it outside. Put it out. I'll put it outside. I'll make sure bears can't get to it. Yeah, I'm not too worried, but you know I would be worried about driving. So number one, always be careful on the roads, no matter how confident you could be. Other people are dumb. Number two, though, you know, little medical emergencies could be not so little if you can't get out. So just it's a good time to like check your medical preps. That's what I did. Actually, Yeah, absolutely make sure you got four wheel drive. They can get there, regardless of what mistake ken or can't do about plowing. That's helpful for sure. Definitely I might go do some doughnuts. We'll see. Alright, though, why don't we hit this heat map dashboard. There's less news in the past two weeks, but it's actually three grade one maximum severity indicators on the board. Yeah, let's knock him out. Starting with gold and silver. Gold has gone crazy in the past week since our last episode of Patriot Power Hour. It went up more than four hundred bucks, breaking all time highs multiple times over. So, yeah, we have an article here. Gold searches to all time high above four thousand and six fifty, but just a couple of days later, it's up to four thousand and nine to sixty. As we sit today, right now, we're fifty bucks away from the five thousand dollars mark all time high today ninety six dollars fifty cents. It's just about ninety six bucks right now. So gold and silver ripping to simultaneous record highs, both of those SHTF level. The other economic article for the day for the week foreclosures up fourteen percent twenty twenty five. We'll keep watching not only real estate prices, but forclosures. That's a huge one to keep an eye on. We were just talking about you know snow storm that's gonna bring freezing rain to places in the south and up north a foot to to of snow. Well, there's other weather events going on as well, and they're are the solar variety. Largest solar storm in two decades, pounds earth, very rare s for storm. We'll take a look a little bit more of a look at that here in a second. Not just human made EMPs you gotta worry about. Then, Health and Human Services to launch a study on cell phone radiation. This under the Electromagnetic Field Effects Exposed indicator. Health and Human Services launching study on cell phone radiation will be here to report on that study when it's completed. Let's go to the first column. Liberty Amazon ring cameras hooked up to ICE system. So those doorbell cameras or they got others ones too, hooked up to the ICE system. On reasonable Search and seizure normalized SHTF happening now, Gislaane Maxwell finally going to face Congress. That saga continues. Then the final callum security, International and Domestic start Domestic eleventh Airborne Divisions on standby for deployment to Minnesota riots. Rioters in Minneapolis hunt for Ice and attack counter protesters, and then another set of SHTF headlines under the indicator national Guard activated. National Guard troops to be on the streets of Washington, DC until the end of twenty twenty six. Minnesota governor mobilizes state National Guard amid ice rioting, and there is no international news for the week future dan domestic though an SHTF level, and then a couple still high grade important articles all domestic security. So that's your news blitz for today. January twenty second, twenty twenty six. We got Davos. We got Trump in Davos. We got Trump insulting the governor of California while he attends Davos. We got the Commerce Secretary letting the world elite know what time it is. We got a former Vice President Al Gore booing the Treasury Secretary as he makes dinner speeches at Davo's World Economic Forum. We got the President I States going there basically spreading the potential of war with an ally for territorial concessions in Greenland which apparently have been made and might involve something similar to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Just a territory, a whole box off of the coast of a few places in order to build the Golden Dome. Don't forget about Venezuela. I even being talked about right now. But that just happened and just continue to happen in ways that you know, none of the president's opponents could even fathom how you could just leave the government there in place and do business as normal, and it's been happening. Oh that's the context, but doesn't really point at a single indicator on the heat map and says, well, that's dangerous, and that's dangerous. So we did. We had that last week of the you know, the threat to Nado of what Trump was imposing on Denmark, but it seems to have passed. My uh my trend, a trend I'm seeing recently is we talk about an emerging issue one week, the second issue is kind of everything comes to a head. I mean, the second week, everything comes to ahead and we're reporting on you know, an extreme amount of info. The third week we're talking about aftermath, and then the fourth is gone, like that's the news cycle. We see it coming, we talk about it, we review the after effects, and then it's out the door. Now it's not literally out the door of course, as you said, Venezuela is not literally out the door. But it seems like I've seen this pattern quite often, and it's not us. It's just there's so much going on. The news cycles are short, and it's pretty amazing. How you know, Greenland's an example and Venezuela are two just great examples. How Trump ended up on top on both of them, very fast and seemingly you know, he seemed underwater potentially and whoop, nope, total total takedown, looking good on both items, got what he wanted. You've seen this trend at dollars, it's. Just me, Well, I don't think we've seen it. We haven't seen it for very severe indicators of danger, you know, ramping up, hitting, you know, grade one black on red happening, and then cool down. We've seen that happen with some indicators in the past, but to have several doing them in pandem like some you know, in different waves breaking on the shore kind of that way. No, I don't think we've seen that better. Yeah, it's more it's like a wave essentially, but it's not you know, once the wave breaks, it's not the end of that news cycle. And there are certain things that are sticking around longer, and those are what we should probably be a little more concerned about. And I think the domestic security and especially for some reason Minnesota and Minneapolis keeps showing up for the last five years. Can't get that out. So those waves are very they have a lot of amplitude, but they just keep coming as well. Essentially, when you go to each indicator's archive and look at the history from most recent at the top down to furthest back all the way back to two thousand and seven team at the archive, you know, these things don't all behave the same way, right. Some of them kind of you know, like you said, have the pattern of you see it coming, you watch it crescendo, you see it resolve, and it goes back to indicators. Other ones just hit hot red happening now out of the blue, very frequent for natural disasters of course, to do it that way. And then other ones that you know climb up to you know red and stay at red you know, very frequently, right, so they behave differently. Maybe we can get some artificial intelligence applied to overall patterns sometime in twenty twenty six for future danger. Need to do it. I need to give my best go with my human intelligence and grind through the numbers. But I would love to see what we could tease out from AI, both from what I put together, see what IT thinks of what I put together, as well as having it performed the data analysis completely independently. So that's all the buzz on the list. I need to make it happen soon or later, because there's there's a lot of trends here that are legit. You have quite quite a lot of data stretching back more than ten years now. So anyway I've said it, wasn't said it. Yeah, I've said it once, I've said it again. The most of these issues, even though they kind of come in these waves, actually aren't fully resolved. Now. Some are, but many aren't, even if they go dormant for weeks or months. And my specialty to focus on, of course, is the banksters and how there's many crises and then they go away and papered over. But the continuing theme of massive debt number one and now finally manifesting itself, massive price appreciation and pressure metals and other assets, but especially gold and silver. Right now, those themes are not going away anytime soon. Should we have an indicator for gold inflation? Is it run away gold inflation? Would that be a way to looking at it? Run away gold flation? You know, what does a price increasing gold mean? And actually NBC guys said, hey, is that a sign of potential war? What was your response, Future Dan? You know, economic indicators are indicative of economic dangers and you know war indicators indicate, you know, potential for war. They can be tied together. And we've seen patterns laterally on the heat map dashboard, especially during COVID, when Palm three and four were extremely lit up. Right, it was directly connected the disease and the economy. Right, So could the middle to columns, the economic and the security get all lit up at the same time? And then and now we're into the conversation, is it, you know, causality or coincidence? Right? And trust me, that's all they teach you about at a Master's and finance program is nothing is causal. It's all correlated. So I've been brainwashing into that. I think it's pretty much true. But I feel like massive deficit spending and massive pretty much bailouts over many years causally relates to nearly five thousand dollars gold. I don't know, maybe it just correlates very strongly, but we're looking at that. We're looking at it right now. Actually this is the year to date view, So looking at just twenty twenty six, we started at just under forty four hundred in gold. Now we're up to nearly five thousand, just since New Year's Day, or I guess a little bit after. It wasn't open on on New Year's Day? Who pretty crazy here? Future Dan any other? We got a lot of more articles to hit on. But where do you want to go from here? I'm talking about AI for one brief second, all right, So it kind of dawned on me that, you know, intelligence, there's the very term artificial intelligence is oxymoronic? Right, Intelligence is, you know, a feature of living beings. And I would tell you if you think we're close to having invented you know, ones and zero's, you know, you know, algorithms to actually have sentience consciousness, then go into any ever AI you choose to use and ask it to be funny. It doesn't do well. Most of it is really weak, weak examples of trying to be intelligence. And and you know, the sharpest wit you know and oftentimes satirical kind of comedy and the stuff you find funny when you when you see it, right, it's what South Park is trying to do every week, right at the various degrees of success, I might add, but at times pretty funny. You know, there's no AI that could do that, can't You can't recognize it because it's there's not a real intelligence there. But if you change the first name of AI, then then that I think that the new name would describe what we have right now, which is brand new and fundamentally going to change the economy and society. It's for real. It's it's a revolution, but it's it's not artificial intelligence. It's it's amplified intelligence. And if you know how to use it, you're amplifying your intelligence, and you're doing it from your own life's perspectives entirely to your own benefit, if you so choose. Right, and and the K shaped economy they talk about, right, you know, the top half of the K is going up for the people that have to have to have more people that don't have have even less. The K shaped economy, right, there's also a divergence and intelligence right naturally occurring intelligence. It's going to be really problematic because if you don't have the intelligence to amplify, you're not going to benefit in this. And you go compare to the people that do. And that's God given, that's from our creator. You're born with it, right, just the basic i Q test given you know, I think kindergar in their first grade, right, that score that they never tell you about, but they measured you right because they were checking to see if you are hitting one seventy one eighty one ninety because you're going to be a different kind of person if if you if you have that, if you if you're gifted with that, right, So you know, that's that's fundamental understanding what we have. This tool we have, it's not artificial intelligence, but it's going to amplify intelligence. But it can also increase your knowledge, your your wisdom, your awareness, so you know you don't have to be mentha the benefit from it, right, But you're going to have to learn how to amplify your intelligence because many others are already doing it right now and there's nothing that's going to stop that. It'll be a nightmare if all the systems of humanity are left to to this kind of echo chamber or you know zeros and ones hell. There's some great Star Trek episodes about that. But there's no there's no there's no Hal three thousand, there's no there's no sentient electronic beings that we're gonna birth. It's it's it's not gonna happen. All it is is parroting. It's it's it's mimicry of of of of human language. And the machines are gonna get the tools are gonna get better, and the tools always got better from whoever was smashing rock against rock to get something to do something until now you know, we're gonna make tools better. But it is not you know, human intelligence versus artificial intelligence, like we're talking about two things on on a parallel because these tools, all they do is amplify the natural ability that the human has, and. It'll just be circular logic and it'll be all messed up if you take the human out of the equation, at least for the foresee of the future. I'm broadcasting remotely from a remote outdoor location in a vehicle. Just had a red fox that right past my truck. As you said that, No, well, we go down the rabbit hole of AI. I'll say this, I would rather, well, man, I don't know you said I was somewhat unpatriotic for it, but I would rather my boss give me a seventy five thousand dollars rais and I have to do, you know, and you can fire the person underneath me and I'll just do their job using AI agents. I would absolutely prefer that because it's so much faster, quicker, easier for me. Pretty much, I could do what I foresee is the K shaped but maybe more like the top ten percent takeover. And I want to be in that ten percent. And I think I could be of a team of ten people at my work if they doubled my salary and I put in sixty hours of hardcore work every single week. I could do the job of all ten of those with the proper AI tools. I really could. And the economic value of that, it's gonna lead to growth, economic growth. What do we do that quarter? Even when it wasn't measured completely, it's four point four GDP growth? Right now? Yes, I saw yeah, sor right yes, I kind of goes full circle. I was watching YouTube analysis yesterday about how that was the first proof through GDP that we don't. We're not gonna have job growth, but we're gonna have GDP growth, and that's because of AI. We're gonna have efficiency and productivity, which means more money. But there ain't gonna be new jobs, or for every new job, a job will get lost, or maybe for every new job two jobs will get lost, depends where you're looking at. But I mean, because. Firm employing you just got a massive productivity boost. It's it's going to grow, it's going to be more profitable, and as a consequence, that money is gonna flow. You know, the Democrats the best they can do in the eighties is to call what Reagan was doing supply side economics it's trickle down theory, and and for periods of time enough people believe that that was actually you know, a negative connotation, but it's not right. It's gonna work that way, and that money that's being made by by employing AI at a competitive advantage, it's gonna flow right back into the economy, and it's gonna go back into the services economy that people will work to pay for. It's gonna just create more jobs, it's gonna create more wealth. It's gonna boom us. My unless you believe if you are a top ten percent information worker or you will be. I would not go to college right now. I'd go get a trade. I'd be a plumber, electrician, or do something physical medicine or something physical world. And this is someone with a master's degree of finance who dedicated way too much time and money to information worker. I feel like I got lucky that I'm here just in time to have learned how to think properly without the Internet as a kid, and then without AI up till about middle age. But I would it would not be the right thing for me to go spend one hundred grand at college right now. I don't think. I think I could do better either by myself or try to find something a different job path and using my kind of intelligence with AI. You know, I don't know I could learn more in one month than I learned an entire year in undergrad I'll just tell you that now. By the way, what was your undergraduate degree? Okay? And what kind of core a little arts did you have to take outside of economics to earn your back laureate? Uh? I got minors in both of them for what it's worth psychology and political science. Okay, So what about humanities that was in there? You had to take that. It wasn't called that. Would that be like English in a foreign language or something like. Music, humanities all the arts. It is Purdue, so they don't make us do too much of that. I took French and you know, some English and stuff, but not much else. Not not much humanities. In that zone right there, and in the political science, social sciences zone, and in more of the classical education, that's where the value will be because if you can go and handle a broader range of knowledge at a younger age, opening up your mind right then then you can become an information worker and apply techniques to the artificial or the amplifying intelligence that will produce effects that if you if you do it. You know the the you know the the European you know tracking educational system. They test you at a young age and you're going to be blue collar going to the plant. If you didn't score high enough in junior high like you, they're not going to spend any time on you to educate you higher than that, or or god forbid, communist China where they go and make that decision when you're five years old, right when they do the IQ test and know the heritage of your family. They're picking you for what your career is, you know, while you're in diapers, right it? And and what do we get? What do we get from that? We we get a China that, no matter how boldly it advertise, its economy is nothing more than copying the best of what we had or striving to or steal it because they can't produce. Right, It's part of the problem. The other problem they don't incentifize, you know, they're not capitalists, not truly. And and same thing in Europe, these other you know, parts of the world lagged behind us because we don't do it that way. Right, you you choose to get a full classic liberal arts education, broad, not deep, not tracked. I'm not talking about going to school management. I'm not talking about your stem education gotting locked into you know, some kind of you know, one track from from your your thirteenth through sixteenth years of schooling. I'm talking about be broad, really learn, learn, learn so many approaches to the world, and then go and apply that to actual problems, actual business problems, actual you know, civil service problem, military problems. Whatever you choose for your path of life, be that kind of thinker. I think that kind of education is going to be extremely valuable because people that have that are going to be able to leverage things like large language models. If you were one tracked into one process where you were taught one narrow little thing right, and then suddenly it's all automated. Yeah, yeah, now you're at home without a job. Oh Man said it very well and intuitively. I sort of knew this growing up and going to school and after, but I don't know, it came together pretty nice. I guess my point is I always wanted to be a generalist, and I knew that would work against me potentially in terms of money and career. And it sounds like a cop out. Oh, I'll just learn a little bit about everything. It's like, Oh, you just don't want to try hard at one thing, don't you. No, it's not true. But now that I'm a generalist, I feel like I could just learn even more about everything and learn the connections between them and band before you know it. Doing Patriar Power Hour, we're talking about four columns, dozens of headlines every week, all the interconnectedness it's crazy future Dan, I love it. Yeah. Well Lloyd pulled that, Yeah, pulled down all back inside the bow on top of it. That was nice. I don't know how. I don't know how. I guess I do. After all these years, I got some skill behind the mic. I want to get back to some news. Is that what you're saying? We got a little bit more. I did see gold just ticked up above all time high again in the last minute or so. It's at forty nine sixty five. Keep quick on that throughout the man. I wanted to hear five care Are you ready to stay on for another hour or two? Maybe we'll get the five K. Now, I'll tell you what. Let's do a headline. Let's do a headline, analyze it, and then check the price, and if it's flat or up, we stay and we'll do another one and keep doing that first to fall. Then we'll capitulate it when we feel as though we had covered the heat map dashboard. But if it's still going up, we can get into the archives and look at trends on particular indicators. I'm here as long as. It takes perfect I like it. That's the game, ladies and gentlemen, first article, let's pick let's pick this. I know you have brought this up to a lot of people in real life, and I have for many years brought this up to people, and most of the time they call me conspiracy theorists. But not that I want to have a last laugh. I will have it though, cel phone radiation very dangerous to you. Health and Human Services RFK Junior and friends are launching study on cel phone radiation. This is similar to when they announced launching multi faceted study on vaccinations, which is still ongoing. By the way, all rf case linking them to neurological damage, cancer, et cetera. This is more of the radiation, not the effect of being on a phone all day, which is bad in of itself. Future dan uh FDA removed web pages with old conclusions about selfhone radiation during this study. There you go. What's your thoughts on self phone radiation and where we've been and where we're going with it. Yeah, good for RFK Junior and UH this is gonna end up being like asbestos. It's gonna it's it's it's not They're gonna they're gonna have to change the whole infrastructure. Think of all those buildings. So I mean my fourth grade classroom had the pipes showing with the wrapping that was asbestos. My fourth grade teacher said, don't go near that. They got to remove that danger. Yeah, right, So that was that was you know, dagging myself. I'll say it was in the eighties. Well in fourth grade and that happened, and you know, now it's twenty twenty six. Do you have any doubt asbestos it's dangerous for you. You don't. It's it's that's what's coming with the cell phones, and you definitely shouldn't touch it when it's connecting to the towers or while it's connected to towers. And Wi Fi is going to be a real sticky point, right, because that's you know, it's more ubiquitous. You're bathing and you Wi Fi multiple different Wi Fi, you know, frequencies at the same you know, going on the same time. When you live in dense apartment buildings or neighborhoods, there's you know, well look at your phone, see how many Wi Fi networks can turn on at the same time. Well, you're in that at extremely low levels, right, right, But how many decades of living in somewhere where eighteen of those is hitting you at the same time before you know there's problems. You know, you know it's it probably isn't safe. It's probably going to be one of those major swings. And we're in that phase where probably most people know it now and they just don't want to admit it. Yeah, it's Uh. Humans are really good at muddling along generally, but especially if it's has so many benefits, seemingly benefits, and hey, won't lie. I like my cell phone. I don't use Wi Fi at home, I but I have a cell phone. I keep my WiFi router and my cell phone, well not my WiFi router, but my cell phone and my Generi router, which I use wired but still probably puts out the Wi Fi stuff even though I don't use it per se. Keep that as far away as I can. Elon Musk was on a podcast talking about this gotta be a year or two ago and said, well, it's just pure physics. Uh, I forgot? Is it the inverse square? Anyway, the further you get it massively reduces the amount of radiation. So even just four feet, being four feet away from your phone is just massively better than it. Being against your ear doesn't mean it's safe. But if you have to live with this stuff in your house, like keep it more than six feet away, more than the social distancing COVID crap. You know, if at all possible it, don't put it up next to your head. If you ever have a call blue. It's not like bluetoothe is great for you, but you know it's better than sticking right next to your head. If you can't do speaker. Sorry that we irradiate you every week here future Dan, but you're doing it for the team. It's so gradual over a long, long period of time, and so many people are not gonna ever be affected by It's gonna be perfectly healthy for a large percentage of people. That's true. It won't affect them, It will not make them ill. But it's gonna make a lot of people ill. I think, you know, if you look at the fine rent in California, these devices stay to California Health Department says, don't sleep within arms reach of these things. Right, That's very common sense for a state government that does a lot of things that make no sense. That is a lot of sense, you know. Put it far away if you have to be ready for a call, that call at night in an emergency, just turn up the volume and put it like you just said, not in the bedstand, put it across the room, put it on a table outside of the room. Do something to get that transceiver away from you for those long when you don't even need the exposure to it, right you're sleeping. Yeah, yes, every little bit counts. That's the toughest part about vaccination, poisonous food, and you know the cell phone radiation. Jeez, if I had to pick three of some of them in the modern health risks, those would be three that I pick. But so hard to pin a certain disease, especially if it's a chronic disease that forms over twenty thirty years. Right, you get cancer when you're fifty or sixty, or some sort of like ertel bow syndrome when you're forty, blah blah blah. You can't really prove that it was the GMO. You can't prove it was the vaccine. Can't prove that because they. Got to try. RFK Junior is going to read the direct money. He's going to start He's going to start incentivizing the science that you know, they're going to pay, and they're going to be scientists out there that for a long time would have done the study that you know, in their scientific and their intuition paired with their scientific you know training. It's going to allow them to if there is in fact dangers. Now now we have a government that will fund the hypothesis, which is a good thing. My hat's off to rfk Jr. He's outperforming in my but for the first. Oh, he's possibly the best in the cabinet. There's a few all stars in there, a few bums as well, but he's kicking ass from start to finish. I was really happy when I heard that he was jumping in and yeah, it's not been a disappointment. Yeah, and hell I can we just get the government out of the way. I mean, okay, I guess this study. I'm happy about it. I'd prefer no government studies maybe, but I would just say, in the past, the government's been helpful to industry to cover up stuff like this, So at least the government's not contributing to the cover up at this point, that by itself's all win. But are they're actually under uncovering or attempting to uncover and pose hypothesis and fund it. Eh, okay, all right, you know, slippery slope, but it's better than better than alternative. I guess there's no one else will fund it, right, there's no one, you know, no one's going to go and do that research and for charity. And if you know, the cell phonemakers, the cellular the carriers, they don't want to studied. Right, So if the government doesn't fund it, it's one of those things where you might have to wait one hundred years for it to be concluded. You know, the conclusion will be after you die of it or not by it, who knows, But it won't it won't get solved. It's it's uh, I don't know. Sometimes, if you're guilty in the public court of public opinion, who cares if it takes thirty more years to actually come out. But on the other hand, I want it to come out asaps. I'm stoked for this. So I honestly a problem with us electing leaders and choosing, you know, through our elected processes to you know, have a government that funds the priority to find out whether you know, these multinational corporations are hoisting technology on us that shortening our lives. It's you know, that's twenty twenty six, seventeen seventy six. It would have been unthinkable to put that much power in the government's hands, spend that much money. But you know, the environment that we live in, and it's the food, it's the vaccines, it's there's other things that are hurting us too that could be studied. Right. You know, we're so far deep into this that you can't be a purist and say that, you know, you got to let the market decide freely, because the market in this case is dominated by you know, Verizon AT and t As, you know, the tobacco industry, you know, dominated Congress up until the point where it was obvious to everybody's cigarettes for shortening lives. Right, Well, they get a de facto protection from the government with the FDA and the CDC, et cetera. But that is being restricted or removed. Do you like to see that, especially the liability protection on some of the vaccine means that changes the whole risk calculus. And the corporations will respond to that. They won't just go as gung ho because they may have to be responsible for the one thing I would say is probably to Pollyanna and libertarian. But if I wasn't being taxed effectively fifty percent of my income, I might donate a little money to let's call it Purdue University maybe to study some of this stuff. If they said, hey, alumni, donate fifty or one hundred or five hundred bucks to this study on cell phone radiation. I might donate to a research university like Purdue University, one of the best research universities in the world. But of course I don't have the free money to do that because I'm taxed fifty percent. So I just wanted to say that. And those nonprofits wouldn't behave that way. But if there was a for profit university, it was established stimply for this fact. The crowdsource you want it to study it, We're gonna study it. We're gonna study it, and we're gonna peer review it, and it's gonna be infallible science that's open, transparent, and it's just source from That would be awesome if you have universities like that, but we you know, that might take a lifetime to get to one of those. Someone out there right now is just say you know that is your personal Some young person out there be the founder of a university set up to I would donate to it the day it was established. I love it. Well, that's the type of future we need. The type of solutions are new infrastructure, leveraging all this new tech and you know, looking for freedom and liberty, but also working hard. There's a place for education. It's just not the old way. The you know what we've seen in the last twenty years, thirty years just ain't gonna work anymore. It never was sustainable and now it's gonna fall apart. But as you said, this is a time for universities to either pivot or people to found new organizations that function essentially like university without being one. Right, pretty cool in that regard. Yeah, I think the biggest mistake is, you know, you know, trying to ever ever advocate against the idea that medicine and education aren't affected by supplying demand. They are. They're economic activities. It's just a simple fact. Unless you're stone cold Bernie Sanders socialist, you're going to be able to recognize that. How's gold price. Doing it drops slightly? Oh no, forty nine, forty six, but it's right there. Silver silver on the other hand only straight up this last ten to fift It's at ninety seven fifty three up about fifty cents in the last fifteen minutes. Holy can we'll make this special a little longer. Let's keep going with the headlines, all right, as long as long as one of the two is still going up. I'm with you. Agree. There we go, and we got plenty of more news to hit. Trust me, Here we go. Activists say ring camera is being used by Ice. This is on the website futurism futurism dot com. Your en camera is an Ice agent. This article I actually suggests people go actually go through read it, and there's a lot of other interesting articles about AI ethics ice on here, but try to find the exact hit. Well. Okay, Future Dan, I want to get your opinion on this. For sure, some of this is true, but I think some of this is also part of the anti ICE protests. I'm not gonna call it propaganda, but you know, smash your ring doorbells. They're saying, you know, ring ring. It's similar to the Tesla thing. I've seen bumber singers like I got this Tesla before we knew Elon was crazy, or something like that right. Yeah, don't be a digital surveillance slave when people in power are somebody you like, and now swing all the way around when the powers that be are doing things you don't like, be consistent. Right, Uh, this rate, this is this is just how you could buy a device and not control who gets to see what it records. It's because it's a free market, right, because enough simpletons have gone and done this, or just they just don't care about their privacy. I would never ever have a device like that at my house. No, we know that this is at least Ring's official response is pretty much that court orders, warrants, and subpoenas were required to give up this information. It's an example where ten years ago, the people like me, ten years ago, we're talking about this and the leftists were saying, you're crazy right wing conspiracy theories tea party hack. Now they're the ones freaking out because the police state, in their opinion, the police state is using it against them like well, you know, silver lining. Maybe they'll kind of have their head out of their ass about probably not. But what they really have a hard time grappling with this idea that certain fugitives of justice do not have for the Amendment rights and and and the two big ones are if you've been lawfully convicted, right, and your fugitive or paroleing right. But especially if you escape justice after you're convicted, you got no rights in this regard. They can search anything they want, they can come for you. They already got the conviction. They don't. You know, you're not presumed innocent, and you don't have any of that due process and state thing goes for illegal aliens, they don't, they don't have that. Just because you managed to get across the border. It doesn't convey on you, you know, fourth and fifth Amendment rights, and and and and and obviously if if you conveyed fourth and fifth fifth Amendment rights on illegal aliens, it would annihilate the very concept of a border. So right, you know. So. But but for all the citizens whose terms and conditions of their ring allows that company, you know, they'll just sell it to the to the to the federal agencies. They'll just sell their data, right because read the fine print. You don't own what that cameras they do. Always read the five print, all right, precious metals, check will the episode continue? I'm gonna say silver is slightly up. I forgot the exact number, but it hit. It crested at ninety seven eighty six, and it's super volatile. Right now, I'm gonna consider that still up. Gold is relatively flat. Gold seems to have lost its luster for the night, but silver's pumping a bit. I got a feeling, well, what I said earlier this week, This is how crazy this week has been. I did think silver could be one hundred dollars by tonight, and I was like, I could see silver being a hundred by Patrick power hour. It had quite a bump five or six bucks, but didn't make it. But I said, I think gold, you know, hit five k. Hell, I think I said by end of the year. I thought maybe I even said earlier than that, but I thought gold would take at least a few more months to climb from forty five hundred to five k. Nope, three days, insane, insane. All right, we'll come back to precious metals watch Live eight eighteen pm Eastern January twenty second, twenty twenty six. But let us hit another article. What do you say? What do you say? Guard troops to stay on DC streets through twenty twenty six. This was an SHTF level article, as was Minnesota governor mobilizes state National Guard amid ICE rioting. Can you give us some expanded thoughts on on National Guard? What's going on both Minnesota and in DC here. So this article or this indicator national Guard activating is one of those you know, easily triggered, right, It's kind of binary, has it as it happened or not? And it's it would a company, it would it would it would be you know, it's obviously a reaction to the mega police operations ICE operations in Minnesota. And you know, in and of itself, the activation of a National Guard is a pretty common event. So just by the phrasing of the indicator, you know, either it's happening or it's not. So it in of itself is one of those indicators that doesn't mean a whole lot until others around it start to get grade one. Okay, And I misunderstood how it was posted the Yes, Minnesota governor mobilizing the guard that was an SHTF actual happening, but the National Guard staying until end of twenty twenty six was actually a low level grade or low grade. It's alright, it's just stortay happened, and it seems more I'm probably gonna use the wrong words here, but more reasonable. Or it's more like the National Guard could be in the streets of DC forever and it's just I mean, that could be normalized. It's not a problem. DC's a federalized jurisdiction, right. Military district of Washington is from the way the government look said it the permanent war. Yeah, the way it's a military district. It's like, can the military forces be used and deployed on Fort Bragg, North Carolina? Well, yes, of course it's a military installation. Entire district of Columbia. Is that if the president decides that it is, and he has so, it will be. He said it. I got it out of you. That's exactly what I wanted to say. And check out the history of this stuff. After World War One and and MacArthur were involved. This is before there was a Pentagon. Right before World War two they were they were putting down riding in Washington, d C. Squatter city of veterans. That all before there was a Department of Veterans Affairs. Right, there's no benefit after you served, no matter how hurt you were, there was very little for you, nothing really established and World War One vets went down, set up, you know, during the Great Depression, you know, you know, stanty towns and protested and rioted and MacArthur Patton others. They they went and put down those riots with the federal troops. So this isn't this isn't new. Not new at all. Precious metal checks. Silver's up forty cents in the last three minutes. All right, let's keep going joking. We are going to be odd for the breakthrough. We'll see the marathon padre par for the first time. Holy cast, We're good. I did have a follow up question, why are we not seeing Los Angeles or other Democrat cities having the same amount of protests and stuff as Minnesota right now? I think it's wherever Ice is, right, Ice is is has has limited amount of you know, officers, and they're keeping them in giants task forces and just moving in different areas at different times. And it's it's it does resemble a form of warfare, right because you know it's it's not kinetic warfare, it's information warfare. But you know, if if another jurisdiction is held at risk, like the ICE hasn't been here to really round up the illegal aliens. But they could show up at any time. Then then how does how do you know all these are blue cities that they're Democrat organized, their Democrat red lead and they're and they and they they they they strategize and panic you know, about as well as you would expect from that crowd. So you know, where does ICE show up next? It's it's strategic, right and and until they get everybody that they targeted for removal operations in Minnesota, that's where they'll be. I think that. I think I've seen some reports that they're still active in California too, But you know, they're picking and choosing where they go because there's these ICE watch groups that are gonna, you know, do what we're seeing in Minnesota just you know, just a mobile riot, maybe the first of its kind. It's just a mobile riot. Mobile riot rent a riot, traveling riot groupie riot. Okay, that frames it differently and makes a lot more sense to me. I guess I just presumed ICE was active pretty evenly across the country and the major twenty five cities or something, But no, it's a lot more concentrated in a couple of spots really for safety reasons because they're outnumbered so much. If they did only have, well, is there like fifty thousand ice agents, I believe, so you only had a we should yeah, we should look into that. But for some reason, that numbers popping out of my head. So, yeah, if you had fifty thousand, right, and you spread across ten cities, five thousand per city, it sounds like a lot. But if the city is Dallas or Houston or Chicago, DC, et cetera, like, that's not that many. It's not that many ICE. So I guess just from a I don't know, not military point of view, but just you know, personnel management, keeping everybody together has a lot of reasons to do that. I'm sure they don't. They would say they don't want to be doing it that way. They'd rather be evenly enforcing a lot wherever it needs to be. But you know that was it has to be. Security purpose is the reason why, right, It's not exactly it's not the most efficient way to get the most bad guys. It's so they don't get ambushed. No, it's it's about controlling the twenty thirty census. Without a doubt, they're going in and they're looking at the voter Well, Ice isn't. But the White House has looked at you know, the twenty twenty stolen election, where were the voter rules inflated with a lot of dead people plus a lot of illegal immigrants that could carry ballots to boxes, right, and looking at the margin some of those states where you know, Democrats could pull off the steal with twenty thirty forty thousand votes, and Minnesota's you know, you know, it's been said, you know, the amount of people remove, the amount of illegal aliens removed from Minnesota just through this operation is the margin of victory in recent elections for Republicans and Democrats. And the Constitution was written to you know, bring the Southern states into the into the Union and three fifths rule. The slaves were kinted three fifths of a person, right, So you know that that whole design of the Constitution to allow for that was you know, you know, that's why the census is based upon the number of residents, not the number of citizens. And that that's how they apportioned seats in Congress. That's how the Electoral College votes are divvied up. And these operations are first and foremost designed to change the electoral balance by removing you know, essentially the Democrats, you know, inflated the voter rules and they have their power is based upon, you know, allowing in foreigners to swell up their population. And this is this is Trump's attempt to end it. And it seems like Minnesota, in Minneapolis, particularly Minnie, Minneapolis Saint Paul were just juiciest targets ever for DOGE and just fraudulent spending in programs. So you combine legal immigrants plus all the fraud that's being exposed, and I'm sure DOGE, I mean, can you imagine all the data that's in the systems if it actually was apply, you know, if smart people applied and asked analytics to that, what kind of stuff they came? Oh man, so that's what they did. Smart people are called volunteer. When Palenteer threw in with Trump and they brought out DOGE one year ago yesterday, that was start heard around the world. The shock and awe and we talked about on Patriot Power are that it was war fighting, you know strate, you know, tactical operational intelligence, you know, a tool of war intelligence, tool of war designed out of all the problem sets that came out of occupying Iraq and exploiting all that information. And then we had we had a tool that you know, went for years to the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and now you know, you know, Democrats went far enough to actually cause the people that run Volunteer to say, you know what, we're gonna help Trump do this. And they went in a year ago tonight, they were in the Treasury plugging in these tools, you know, across all all of the Treasury, right and just just getting don and looking at linkages. US A I D was absolutely you know, crushed within weeks because they immediately saw it with volunteer technology. It was that obvious. I mean, it's probably pretty obvious without the technology, but with the technology, think how much more you could find and kind of second, third, fourth order connections that maybe a human wouldn't have been able to find or definitely not as quickly, not as consistently. So it seems like Minneapolis. Maybe that's why Walls was the Tim Walls Mister, mister Tim Walls was the VP, because it sounds like he's some sort of kingpin up there in Minnesota. It's hard to believe but it must be true. He's uh, he's he's going to get sacrificed by his party. Oh yeah, man, I. Think he has been smart enough to prevent Minnesota from being an outright, you know revolt, right, so you know, ordering local police to go try to arrest ice officers or or other things that, you know, because all it takes is the president to make an national speech and say this, the interaction actor is invoked because Governor Waltz did X, Y and Z and that's it, you know, eleventh eleventh airborne. I have Alaska coming down to Minnesota to warm up. Compared to Alaska, they'll be on the screen. Right. So Waalts has been smart enough to avoid that. But his I think his fate is sealed. And truth is powerful, like the truth is powerful. So it's easy for us to sit there and say, I got to believe there's a massive fla fraud in this or that part of the federal government, and no one's going to take it seriously. But then you plug in an intelligence war fighting tool and you gather the data and you know, I we're talking shock and awe. You can't argue against it. It, you know, Doge succeeded everywhere, succeeded because they had the data and they knew they and Musk helped engineer that with the what's the guy that runs volunteer Tharp, you know, they they had it figured out. Peter Thiel founded that company, like when they when all those tech billionaires had had a finally had enough of trying to be you know, thread the needle and be non parson and talk out both sides of their mouth, which is what billionaires have always been able to do. When they threw in with Trump, my god, they put a lot of power behind him, and that particular software technology is a big part about how we know the truth. And do any of us see that coming? I don't think so. No, we wanted to drain the swamp. Didn't get as much as we won in that first round, but the second round, trying to make up for lost time, it's going pretty well. We are here just past one year, and hell of a year. Not everything. We're not gonna I'm not gonna do a formal breakdown or grade, but hey, it was a good year overall, way better than if Kamala was in there. And let's just say. That who Trump put out Trump put out three hundred and sixty five accomplishments for three undred sixty. Five for five days. One of the three hundred and sixty five was uh, revoking crackhead hunter Biden security details that deserves it. Yeah. Oh and uh you mentioned Davos. Wow. If you folks have not heard Trump's speech, definitely listen to it. It's long, but it's great. But was it beset that that was? Uh? Yeah, he's lutnick. I think it was beset that was. He's very like calm natured, but he was talking trash. Lutnik's a little more boisterous. He was talking trash. Oh man, they're no holds barred. Best definitely talks trash. He got the assignment, probably volunteered to. Let you know. Gavin Newsome, you know know what time it was. And Howard luck Neck is always positive, but he's he's pretty reasonable. He's pretty reasonable every time he speaks. I got to admit he's not a free trader, right that world passed like he probably was in a past life. But you know, once we you know, you know, saw how China did international trade. You know, it never made sense to trade with them freely because they weren't a free country, and how you know, like like just like you know, sooner or later we're going to figure out that the cell phones have been a problem for us. Same thing, like we're seeing positive change, it's just slow to come by. Well, we got silver, and it is not slow at all time high ninety eight dollars sixty cents, so it's up about ten to fifteen cents in the last ten minutes. So I guess we'll do one more article. Let's see what we got. Gold is flat in the last twenty minutes, sticking around forty nine fifty, which is like still essentially all time high, but it's for some reason. Silver hot quite the bid in the last uh and silver had actually been down and flat most of the last week, so it not last week, maybe the last couple of days. So everyone's like, oh, silver run is over, now it's time for gold. Well, silver said, hold my beer, I ain't done yet. I'm making it to one hundred before gold makes it the five thousand, damn. It, one hundred dollars ounce silver. That's five thousand ounce old. That's yeah, that's a real turning point. I'll do it, man. You you you suspected it could collapse everything. That will be a test that either that is true, and week or so from now we're gonna have black on red, just up and down, call three, complete financial crisis. We'll know it wasn't planned because they did it too early and Trump will have way, way, way too much power, which they can't let happen. Or it isn't really the myth that it was made out to be, and it wasn't really that Layman Brothers and bear Stearns had silver contracts that were the secret calls of the whole collapse in two thousand and eight. I'm waiting to see how that pleas out. Oh yeah, me too. It might not be over yet. Folks say that silver could get squeezed to two three, five hundred dollars in the next year. That's where you would see real problems. Hey, we'll see your boy Jamie Diamond. How much is he gonna owe Trump being sued for five bill I believe. That's five thousand a million, Yeah. Five thousand million. I was sitting on that just waiting, like for a whole year. People were totally around with maybe Jamie Diamond will get nominated for the next Fed chair and he and then suddenly Trump like in the middle of you know, posing like a you know, just a threat to the sovereignty of Denmark, like no one has ever well since Third Reich invaded, Like no one's told Denmark what was going to happen next like that, even if it was for a week like during that and then on the side, Jamie Diamond's catching a five billion dollar lawsuit, Like what did I miss something like what caused Trump to snap over there in that direction? Suddenly He's just keeping these fools on their toes. I love it. I love it. That's why I and I don't want to be a negative Nelly the end of the show potentially, But I'm just like, will anybody be able to carry the torch like Trump has? Because Trump does something just special about Trump where he's able to turn potential defeat into one of his biggest successes. He's able to just like switch gears and mess with people and get his enemies to love him and hate him at the same time. Like, I don't know, vance seems solid, but I just he's not gonna be able. He's not gonna have that kind of like it factor. He doesn't necessarily need it to keep the momentum. But I just keep that in mind. I think people got to keep that in mind. I don't know, I'm not four against any candidates in any next election. But the time that JD. Vance walked up to the Harris's Air Force too, you know, and said, I'm just checking out the plane I'm gonna have next, right, was that was pretty ballsy. I'll tell you, like he has moments and and in the Oval office letting Zelenski know what time it was like. That was different. That was different than new I don't think you count out Vance in that regard at all. He's definitely got a bit of an attitude in a good way that in that regard, I'll give you that. Okay, all right, how's our bullyons looking? Ninety eight seventy two on silver? At this rate, we could be here for another hour, we could be here for days, or it could just jump all of a sudden. I don't think it's gonna break one hundred in the next hour, but that's just guaranteed that it probably will. We can hit maybe one article and see how it is. What do you say, yeah, yeah, have anymore? We've almost hit every one which is actually great largest solar storm, very rare S four. Yeah, I got a question. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead, prapper community talking to you directly, especially the prepper news environment. Right, so you got riot to Missota getting spun up on, you know, the future of NATO and what Trump's doing with Greenland and ten of the things you're paying attention to. But in some news weeks when we get a severe solar storm, you know, there's there's just this big, big concern about the next Carrington event. And now we have like during all this news environment, this storm hits and I didn't see many people talking about it. And by the way, it's the worst in decades. Do any has any of us even noticed did your did you toaster short out? Like? Did it? Bobya? Like character event is a real thing that could happen. But even the worst solar storm in the past few decades isn't even close to enough to be dangerous. It's a great way to put it. Uh, don't want to test our luck. But I remember there was supposed to be a huge one last summer and right around the summer solstice in June, if I remember, and this one was bigger than that there was way more coverage of that last summer than there was this go around. So yeah, I guess the news environment, which the heat map dashboard is meant to let you look at in different domains and four columns, really affects perceptions of what's dangerous or not. And honestly, you know, sometimes if you're into prepping and you're making content and you're podcasting, you gotta be talking about something, right. So what heat map dashboard is designed for is to kind of level that right, balance it and measure it and make sure when something is dangerous that it's you know, reflected properly and all the other things that can go wrong simultaneously are looked at that. You know, it's gonna take a polycrisis to you know, bring about, you know, a collapse that you know everyone on this network is preparing for. Right, We're not there. Yet, not there yet, but good time to keep prepping, folks. January twenty second, we'll be back next week. January twenty ninth is the plan. And every Thursday in January and most in February. I think the last Thursday of February maybe we'll have to change the date, just say, and but future day. The silvers right there at ninety eight seventy five, gold still relatively flat. I don't know, it's still going up. We're out of articles. For what it's worth. We can talk about Giselay and Maxwell, who we have to. She's going to plead the fifth straight through her testimony. Yeah, and the business we're going to catch. A you know, charges for contempt to Congress. That's they're both coming to justice right there. And something's got to give with all the Epstein files, something's got to give. Rumored to be five thousand more unreleased files, can't imagine, you know, or five million more unreleased files. Can't imagine how what percentage of that is just pure lies put in there to just make it impossible for Trump to release it all, which is I think what he found out just about one year ago tonight. And that's when suddenly we're not talking about Epstein's because it was absolutely bombarded with falsehoods. Maxwell's going to be testifying virtually before the House Oversight Committee Monday, February ninth. Is a prediction here, Huh? Is that closed testimony or open? Let me scan to see if I can find that. I don't know. I don't. It can be closed it necessarily. Yeah, that's they're not going to pump a size that that's too risky. She was out and you know on network television under this thing. Oh my god, what she could just come out of her mouth, that could just flip upside down. I don't think any of them want to give her a chance at that. No, No, makes sense, makes sense, And with regardless time. I'm I'm gonna be at the TV watching that when that happens, I. Gotta yeah, yeah, well I can't. I try to explain this to folks. Some believe me, some don't. I say, look, statue of limitations for minor crimes, not crimes against miners, but small crimes, minor crimes. There's statue alignment limitations for a reason. Uh so you look at something like this where there's many powerful people who have a motive to tamper with evidence that's years and years old. There's a reason the statute of limitations, especially something like this. So I don't know, I can't trust any of the files or evidence that comes out, whether it's damning to democrats or banksters and would make me feel good on the inside. I just I can't trust the validity of it after this many years, that's all. Yeah, I'll keep my eyes open. You know, rape, murder, there's no statute of limitations on those things. Yeah, give you that if you have, if you can truly trace the evidence and custody of the evidence, and it's provable that it's real and legit. Okay, But yeah, the evidence has been sealed away and allegedly not tampered with for many years, and do you trust that it wasn't tampered with? Hard to say? Hard to say? Or maybe justice looks like a former president that gets exposed by history for entering into agreements with foreign intelligence agencies, probably multiple, to build compromitt the rust in term for compromising material on all involved, so that they could move forward with plans that all of them could be trusted because all of them were compromised. That might actually be the history of the late nineties, a dark, dark episode. We'll probably have a reckoning like that in a decade or so that in twenty twenty, the Chinese Communist Party enabled one of our political parties to steal an election. That work well on the way to be able to have irrefutable history written in these regards and for anybody to argue the opposite into the end of their lives, to be viewed by younger generations as disillusion fools. All that be good for us, All that would be less dangerous for the United States of America. But we gotta be looking at what's gonna be the next What are they pulling right now? That could be a story in twenty years, But we can't be waiting twenty years. So I don't like that stuff are running and hiding from the powers in the White House right now. We've got three more years of it. So you know, I hope they're terrified. I hope he terrorizes them if if even have any of this plan, you're right, never never ends it, right, but expose it badly enough, and you know, all that will happen is that we'll get hit new complex, unthought of ways in the future and picture Powerhoier is here to you know, try to forecast and anticipate that and talk about before others. So and I think we do a pretty good job of that. Ben, I agree. Our track record speaks for herself. Actually, if you look at what we've predicted, what's come true or not. But yeah, twenty one days after our our January first predictions, twenty one days later, we're about to hit a few predictions already, right beswel and government probably can be considered toppled. They'll have an election and it will be done so perhaps bloodlessly. And gold and silver and the ratio of gold and silver. I think we predicted all of this three weeks later. It's here. Should have bought a lot more. Gosh, da get well. Silver just hit a new all time high in the last five seconds, ninety eight dollars ninety eight cents. I don't want to belabor the point, but you got anything else you want to hit on while we just have this silent countdown to the last dollar, maybe, I mean it's too we can't quit at this point. It just crossed ninety nine dollars in one cent. Future dad what. It's starting to feel like a PBS telethon. But we don't for anybody's money. We're just sticking around watching. Like wow live on air and we might hit this. I mean, I would just hate going off air and it cracks one hundred here in a half hour. But on the other hand, I gotta feel that it'll bounce off one hundred and not crack it tonight, but we'll see. Let's talk about the the title of this episode three thirty four? Is it fed on Trial? Is it? Is it silver ninety eight ninety eight? What are we going to call this episode? That's a great question. Well, it's definitely episode three three four Bankster's on Trial. That's not a bad one. I think so, I think so. I think that's what we saw in those oral arguments. And despite what Bloomberg's trying to brainwash people, they could get they get a shocking decision out of that, or Trump might get his waterloo. But you know, Supreme Court can make big, big impacts on this country this year. And h yeah, Jerome Powell sitting in the front steat seat, staring down the justices, trying to let Brett Cavanaugh, Amy Komy like Eric worry about, you know, the stability of the system. Will it work? But I don't know. I'm torn. Bullian fifty to one ratio in live streaming action. That's awfully compelling episode title two. Maybe we can do both. Hey, wow, there's only so many characters you can use. But I have considered just labeling our show PPH set a Patriot Power Hour. Every time a little redundant takes a lot of characters, and people do care about, you know, having a title that explains what's in there getting some hype. So we'll see how porn on that because we got we you invented the title of this show, and it's a great title. So ppah might be a sacrifice we shouldn't make. Yeah, I never made that, so I'm going to continue to stick with the full version for now. But if that happens, though, we can only have like I don't know, twenty five characters for maybe thirty characters for a show. Title said on trial And what's the what's the acronym for the abbreviation of silver SLVN. Eight that's the ETF. Yes, I should know this. AU and AG I forgot which ones which I'm not talking about the gold I think, yeah, I use gold, AG is silver. I'm not sure Atomic table we're going to help most people know what you're talking about. But how are we doing? Ed pb plum it actually draws drop below ninety nine, it's at ninety eight ninety four. Gold is ticking back up slightly. Bitcoin still under ninety k. But that's why you diversify, folks, and don't just diversify financially. You know, you get your preps, get your tools, get your med supplies, storable food, water filters, and yeah, you know, financially diversify too. You won't regret it. Yeah, this storm coming up over the weekend, you know, big stretch of the Southeast United States is gonna get ice, which means you're gonna get power lines down, trees down on power lines, and roads that cannot be traveled, and it's dangerous. It's momentarily dangerous, very much a mitigatable risk. So I know, you know, long term listeners, you know, Prepper Broadcasting Network don't need to be told. But if you're casually coming across Patriot Power Hour, you're here for the you know, the political taking not necessarily fully into prepping. This is a great little example of when it should be. You know, in a short term prep is always appropriate. And this storm is gonna shut down services for long enough to close a risk to life and limb. So put your plans into effect, make sure you got well at need at home. It's that freezing rain that really crushes you, knocks power out, and it looks like it's gonna go right over where you know, Asheville, North Carolina, where they had the hurricane come through a couple of years ago. So northern Georgia, northern South Carolina, and most of North Carolina and a lot of Tennessee looks like mostly freezing rain and then a solid freeze thereafter to kind of lock in that ice. So yeah, whether you're you're gonna get that or you're maybe out west where it looks pretty clear, it's a good time to be a prepper. I'll tell you that. Yeah, a lot of the states don't invest in what it takes to get the road safe quickly. You know, if you live in Buffalo, New York, you know whatever's coming your way, you know that they're gonna have to get the roads back to safe. Right right across the middle of the south third the United States, it happens. So when frequently and my experiences, you know, they're just kind of just say, hey, stay at home until you know, day after tomorrow when it's fifty degrees and everything else right, But that might not happen. I get stuck in a deep freeze for a week with roads that you can't get to hospitals. So it's it's gonna it's gonna rate on the heat map dashboard as Mega storm. I'm just hoping it doesn't elevate in grade level and become, you know, a highly fatal. One, right Mega stores, Mallga storms, Mall. I believe right, All right, Well, I think we can call off the Precious Metal Watch, although I will be watching it throughout the night. You've gotta peak like ten minutes after we shut off the podcast. It's amazing. This is just another example of why this Golden Silver run is incredible. A lot of the increases are not happening during your normal nine thirty to four pm, nine thirty am to four pm US trading, right when the stock market's open and stuff. No, a lot of this is happening when Asia is opening. Asia opens at six pm Eastern here in you know here the East coast time at six pm, and it's the morning over there, and a lot of the increases happen when Asia is open, and they don't. It's not like it goes down when the US opens. It just kind of muddles along and then that doesn't happen. Long story short, why is that occurring? I have potential reasons but it's definitely occurring. What's the best measure in the physical silver market online tonight? Can't do coin because there's premium on different kinds of coins and how they're minted. Is it one ounce bars? What would I bet your physical already broke a hundred tonight? Oh, for sure, the physical premium on let's just call it ten ounce bars. That would have the least amount of premium. And as you said, it's not a collector's piece or numismatic, So we'll use a ten ounce bar, which used to be, you know, two hundred bucks. Now apparently it's a thousand bucks. But there's always been at least a three to five percent premium even on that. So if silver was one hundred bucks, then one of those silver bars would actually be one hundred and three one hundred and five bucks, or I guess now more like one thousand and fifty bucks. So there's always been that premium that premiums. Actually psicle silver actually reached a real one hundred dollars handle earlier this week tonight. You know, it's almost like it I would say about earlier this week. Earlier this week, it be my guess because that's when it hit, you know, a cross ninety five bucks, and I could pretty much guarantee the most basic of silver would have at least enough of a premium to boost up to one hundred and Just to throw this out there, the US Mint stopped selling silver coins and making silver coins for short term. Well, they've returned and they have the twenty twenty six American Silver Eagle. They priced it at one hundred and sixty nine dollars per ounce. Okay, usually those do have a good premium, where at one hundred dollars silver a American silver Eagle might be one hundred and ten or one hundred and fifteen bucks. But they priced it at one hundred and sixty So they're either increasing that premium to sixty percent, or they think silver is going to be one hundred and fifty bucks like by this time next year, or maybe both. Wow, we'll give us a price on the way out. Great show, Ben, Great Show ninety eight sixty three. Don't worry, we'll be doing a full analysis next week as per usual. Another great show, Future Dan. We're making some progress, but we're always on the lookout for the biggest threats coming up and prepping for them. So hey, that's what keeps it exciting. What can I say
