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 is live once more. It's episode three hundred and thirty eight on this twenty sixth day of February twenty twenty six. Yes, two twenty six, twenty twenty six, Future Dan. I'm not a numerology guy, but that's a lot of twos and sixes, and there you go. We got a whole new set of different headlines to deal with tonight, total total, new array or just a week ago, all of them dangerous, but all of them different. Full refresh. Not just of the headlines within the indicators, but most of the indicators are new as well, but certainly uh oh, like a full refresh. Nothing's ever born here in Patriot Power Hour, but with this type of variety, I mean, we're gonna have a full hour, no joke. What's not on the heat map dashboard, but it is something you're looking at right now thinking about what's episode three three eight of Patriot Power Hour. What's what's its guiding theme in your your mind tonight? Oh, guiding thing that's two over arching from an answer, I'm not gonna lie right now, but I will say just in the last two weeks, golden silver has bounced back big time. We've been chronicling this for a wealthy entire time. I've had a podcast. But just a couple of weeks ago, Jay Ferg was on the air with me and we were talking about silver dropping from one hundred and twenty bucks down to seventy five. Well, it was a ninety this week until a technical glitch stopped trading right when silver was gaining momentum. Gold as well fifty two hundred, up a couple hundred bucks in the last week, and up several hundred dollars in the past couple weeks. So the whole gold and silver was a bubble that popped. Eh, that's over, but that it's not dangerous per se, and we talk about all the time, but it's not rating on the heat map appropriately, but that's something that's not on there that I just always got to throw out there, gold and silver right back at you, and. We gotta spend a little bit of time, it's real, a little bit of time talking about real bitcoin bear market this winter. Yeah, I mean year of a year. It's down from one hundred k plus to seventy k and even lower. And as time goes on, as we get to like May, when bitcoin was at like one hundred and twenty k, it's gonna look even worse if bitcoin stays at the seventy k or less. So hey, it's certainly not performing well compared to gold and silver. I've always said, diversify, diversify, and I still think all of them are goodbye right now. The big you know, uh, parts of retail just regular people worldwide, regular people just sell their bitcoin to buy the metals. Think that's part of it. I don't necessarily think so, but I will say the regular people are selling, and it's the institutions that are buying. It's the big banks and ETFs that bought bitcoin last year, and it was the individuals that were selling it. That's the flow. Why it's occurring right now or really in the past year and last six months, has gone down pretty precipitously. I don't think it's for people cashing out for gold and silver necessarily, but uh, that could be part of it. There could be people rotating into it and people just locking in p off it. But I think I think there's a lot of other stuff going on with it. Be hard to measure, right, I mean, maybe the biggest bullying sellers would report or share their purchases or with crypto because you can't do that, which is pretty cool, But you know, all these things are temporary. We got some very significant economic news, in my opinion, low level topical like no crisis, but worrisome details emerging inside the financial system. So bitcoin bear market right now. Seeing what the metals have done, we got more to talk about in economics. But on international front, what's the first thing on the top of your mind going on? Haven't hit Iran yet. The Olympics are over though, so they usually wait till Olympics are over for strikes. We're going to see something this weekend that would be the prime time. But the United States has never had, you know, timed any strikes anywhere near an Olympics. Not the US, but other countries. I think it's an international agreement, like, hey, we'll not do this during the time of Olympics. Now, I'm not saying the pedaga. I would not strike durried the Olympics by any means, but just putting it out there like there's nothing holding them back. They got three carrier groups. The Olympics are over. Why they're gonna hit or not? Like shit or get off the pot. I don't know who came together to say we won't go to war during the Olympics. People watching the Olympics on TV. That's that's not That's never been a thing. Russia went to war in Armenia during the two thousand and eight Olympics, like they jumped Armenia's border and ran almost like, well, we're supposed to be better than that. Trust me. I'm not saying this. And if there was, I don't know. We haven't hit Iran yet. They're supposed to do it two weeks ago. We could go now, maybe they're just waiting them out. Really totally war of attrition, siege warfare has got to be, you know, big time advantage to wait them out and strike later. But maybe they're not going to strike, or maybe something else is going on in the background, but that has not happened. So that's the main focus of what I expected it to happen by now. Yeah, I'm wondering right now how much it's got to do with I ran itself in the Middle East, or you know what kind of example that's getting ready to get set for Russia to observe. Right So, the dmptum bobulator technology that happened in Caracas, no one knows if you're outside of the classified program, how effective that is, how widely you can use it. All I know is the Cubans guarding Maduro were nearly liquefied by that, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Council might be next. And not for the sake of Iran er them necessarily, but to show Russia, you know, look at this, Look at this. You don't want to end a war and you started four years ago. Look what we can do. Four years. It is just past four year. I believe it was Tuesday, today's Thursday at twenty sixth Yeah, the twenty fourth Tuesday. A couple of days ago you called it. I remember specifically talking to you the week of the Ukraine conflict opening up, and you said, it's gonna be like Vietnam. It's not gonna be over in three months or three weeks like some people were thinking they would push through to Kiev. Did it happen? You called it? Where do you foresee the next four years of this going or what's happening? It'll be a stale mate. It's well balanced. Now, there's a lot of vestive power in it. And when you look at you know, wars like you know, the first big tie the Korean War, right, the dm what became the DMAIL Militarized Zone, and Ukraine's gonna need a d m Z. Right, that's hard to set one of those up, right, But the end of the Korean War that got fairly stable, Like both sides knew that that we're trying to negotiate an end. So we're not advancing, right Russians, you know, give them enough time, they'll replenish the military and push again. So and that's the strength of their positioning. But you know, with the ISR umbrella, if not more right, there might have been a lot more airborne capability that we directly fought the Russian forces with with autonomously, right, Like we're fighting with weapons that inside of Ukrainian airspace that if they're lost, no American dies, so it never has to be unclassified. Right, So you know that I think that's a stalemate. It's gonna stay a stalemate. And the nuclear you know the paradigm, right, you know, neither side can go too far it escalates into you know, it touches off a third World war in exchange of nuclear weapons, so that you know, it just sits on top and caps it mutually assured destruction. But I was sort of hoping your answer would be, but it doesn't sound like it will be, is that they're like two heavyweight fighters in the eleventh round, tired as hell, throw a couple ass big punches, and then just kind of you know, bell rings. They quit for a few years. But it sounds like you're not expecting this to come to an end and some sort of negotiated truth in the next year. You think that would be true if you look at the history of like World War One and World War Two, those were you know, four or five six year wars. Civil war, they would you know, both sides knocking each other out in that time. But there's plenty of other examples in history, like England, France had something called one hundred years War, right, and and and essentially the Middle East has been at war since the founding of Israel. No stop, it's it's a greater or leiser degree. So I don't I don't know if you know. Just because you look at Ukraine and Russia and you think about the European wars that ended in some kind of orderly timeframe, it doesn't mean it won't be like other wars of other ages, where it just you go on decades, you go on generations. If it's if it's not properly. Ended, yeah, I guess you need the political willpower from the people to keep it going, and you need the money, and you need the material. And I think both sides have the money and material still and willpower. I guess so too. Ukraine is not going to quit. Sounds like Russia is not going to quit. I don't think who's gonna get deposed by anyone at this point that's seeking peace. That certainly doesn't seem likely. Uh, it doesn't seem highly likely, But it's always like there is a there's something likely. Yeah, there's the opposite though too, where like some of the more hardcore comes in, it should be worse. I would expect that's why everybody fears in Iran, right, But I don't know. You know, we've we've looked at asymmetric warfare, sixth generation warfare, hybrid warfare. It's been studied, it's been prepared for, it's been trained, and the technology is in place to do things. You know. Essentially Trump declassified something when he said discombobulator, but he didn't just didn't just you know, disclose much. So Iran has to be wondering. You know, a Beijing, Moscow, pong Yang, you know, Havana, They're they're looking, they're paying attention to what the hell happens here pretty soon. Of course. You know, I've said before, if there was a vote in Congress, and I think there should be to authorize war, I'd be all for it to overthrow the mulas that regimes awful. But without a vote in Congress, I'm with I'm with Massy on that. I mean, you got gotta follow the you gotta follow the constitution because somewhere down the road, there's gonna be some other US president that takes this way too far, way too dangerously, and and Trump's not setting the president right. It's been done before, right you know, but how how big of a striking and I ran before. He's broken the taboo worse than anybody ever has. Well that said, I think it's a good time to pivot to the dashboard because we'll hit some of the topics we just covered, but a lot of others, especially the Epstein latest in Epstein. So how about it, how about it, I'll go through the dashboard right now, let's do it all right, Let's start with Epstein and all the fallout under powerful pedophiles exposed. Former Secretary of State says she knew nothing about Epstein and crimes. That same former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton asked Pizzagate questions under oath, finally under oath, but says knew nothing. Head of the World Economic Form resigns over the Epstein files. Yes, and the aforementioned Thomas Massey tweeted, thank you very much for helping expose this Head of the World Economic Forum. Now that's the day of they of the banksters World Economic Forms. Big part of that the head resigning. Former Treasury secretary and Microsoft founder embroiled by Epstein connections under the war unconstitutionally waged. Speaking of Iran and the vote or lack thereof, Secretary of State delivers rare briefing to top eight lawmakers on Iran amid tensions. House resolution to require President to have war authorization from Congress before launching Iran strikes. So they're pushing towards that. I don't know if they'll stick. Cuban forces open fire on a US vessel, killing multiple people. Some other news came out yesterday. Geopolitically continuing national security push aims to unmask foreign money flowing into American college campuses. Department of Justice announces arrest a former US Air Force pilot for training Chinese military pilots, teaching the Chinese the tricks of the trade of the US Air Force. Oh pathetic. Over one hundred and fifty US warplanes deployed to Europe, including some f twenty Two's not a tone going on in weather and nature right now. There's some heavy flooding down in Brazil. Depth hole rises to fifty nine. The banksters still operating their schemes, still getting away with most of their crimes. In my book, but we're seeing some bubbling of the game come into an end. We'll see. But the Hindenburg omen has seen six alarms over the last month. The Hindenburg Omen. We'll talk about that after the news blitz, but that means the system might be shaking apart. Seemingly things are good, but under the surface maybe not. Perhaps adding on to that, private credit sees default rates surge. Could this be the new subprime loans? Could this be the new savings and loan crisis? Could this be all that ruled together future Dan? That's the news blitz. I think we should start where you've finished. Tell us what the omen is and I don't think we've ever seen the headline where it's struck six times in sequence in a short period. That's deserves attention. And then also private credit, what is it? How did it? You know start after the two thousand and eight financial crisis? And what is blue Oul? And is blue Oul the next synym for Layman? All right, well laid out. Hindenburg omen occurs when part of your stock market is hitting all time highs or not all time highs, yearly highs, fifty two week highs. So part of your stock market is doing awesome, as good as it's done in the last year, But another large portion of your stock market is hitting fifty two week lows. So instead of everybody going up, there's this big divergence of the winners and losers, and that could show well, the hypothesis of hiddenburg omen is, Hey, everything looks great. It's a floating zeppelin in the air that can cross the ocean and very peaceful, just balloon floating by Oh, but it's filled with hydrogen gas and it explodes into a fiery destruction where things go wrong. That's the Hindenburg omen. Seems nice, bunch of stocks are hitting all time highs, but actually the subfloor of the bathroom is rotting out and you're smelling some toxic gas. How about that for an analogy. Yes, okay, so that's been hitting in the last few weeks. People have noticed it. You know, I never see MSNBC or CNBC or Wall Street Journal or Bloomberg. You just never see that omen talked about. But you think they would. You think they would have picked up on it because it would be bad economic news that could drum it against Trump. But what are they Are they inept? Or is this guy that wrote this article, you know find you know, studying things and finding it where others missed it. I can't catch I can't forget. That part of I'm not gonna go down too much of an archive. But I did pull an article that you had on Future Danger dot com from May twenty seventeen CNBC. It's still up and active on the CNBC website, talking about the Hindenburg or Omen. It did say the Hindenburg Omen gained the biggest fame in eighty seven in two thousand and eight, but it's a little bit overrated. I think it could be some of that. But the true factor of it at Future Dan is since COVID, almost all stocks of been hitting fifty two week highs the entire time, So only now is the bottom starting to fall out post COVID. Like before COVID, we saw this a few times, especially in twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen, like that last couple of years, but it kind of got blown up by Coke COVID. Five years you don't see it, but now you're seeing it now. Finally it's back back to haunt you. I'm just wondering why it's not used as a negative on Trump, and maybe it's because it's a for real predictor and the powers that be, the bangsters, you know, you know, at a certain point, politics don't matter to them, you know, keeping their massive wealth and gaining massive wealth when the opportunity arises is always superseding the politics. And so you don't hype up the Hindenburg, oh man, because you got to be in front of it. If it really is happening, you're not going to put it on a headline that's interesting, up an old headline where they were kind of casting doubt on it, right, maybe that's the thing. And on the other side of that coin, the pure Democrat demogragory, you know, talking cable head CNN type, they can't even understand. They're not even going to stop to understand what the Hindenburg orben is or try to use it against Trump because no one that's paying attention to them could possibly understand what it means. They have no idea that actually variance is more risky than dropping price, Like financing economists will say, hey, we're okay if we know things are going to drop five percent, and so when we don't know if it's going up five percent, or down twenty percent that things are really screwed and everyone gets freaked out when like, you don't know, and the variance is high. So yeah, this is massive variance top to bottom. I'm trying to go ahead, go ahead ahead. If we ran programming with you explaining this to a c and an audience or someone you know that that could could do that, you know, they would have all time low, you know, do it right, No one wants those networks could even they would do tune right out like variants. Trying to picture try to picture variants on on you know, the the top and the bottom of the stock market hitting fifty two highs and lows simultaneously. You know, now we're now we're into a segment of people that you know, can can you know we can go and read more about this if they don't get it at first, and you know, catch up, that's not really so it's like politically unuseful. Must be the reason why you don't hear it used against Trump. But we're going to talk about a patriot power are because we choose to understand such things and our audience does too, and it matters. And this is definitely a sign of uh, maybe it's nothing right. Maybe it's just that that that one blood test that comes back within it, you know, something out of range, and you know you try again later and it's everything's okay, just a little blip on the radar. Well maybe not. It's the Endinburgh. Omen got this. Uh. For the viewers of the video, you can and those that go to future danger dot com you can see the actual image you have for the Hindenburg omen on future danger dot com. That's how closely been tracking this well, as you said, six times in such a short period for it to be triggered like over and over and over. That's like getting your cholesterol checked six months in a row, every month and it shows really bad, not just one top. So that is concerning something. Will really keep an extra eye on here following. Yeah's exactly what is the credit? Yeah, it's I think it's a scapegoat because it was private when it all comes a part of the seams. All it is is a term. It's gonna be just you know, so Elizabeth Warren types can justify even more financial repression after the next collapse. So at the start of when I had my website to throw the banksters and started podcasts and even towards the beginning of Patriot Power Hour with You, And this is the three hundred and thirty eighth episode, so that was a while ago. But I remember from two thousand and eight until gosh seemingly forever twenty twenty two, I guess interest rates are almost zero or zero like that entire time. And because of that, all types of malinvestment was made. And well, funny enough, mister bankster himself, JP Morgan's Jamie Diamond calls these private credit cockroachie cockroaches. He calls them the bankster king himself the cockroach, the king of the cockroaches, calls these private lenders cockroaches. That's how bad it is. Because with all this zero percent or damn near zero percent easy money, fake money printing, printing money, stimulus packages, all that stuff all combines, well, all these companies formed, spinoffs happen, mergers, and different entities were formed able to come up with shady lending of all types to personal you know, whether it's auto, whether it's just personal loans, but businesses as well. Log story short, finally starting to see with the tide going out, with interest rates being up now for a year or two with with the FED not being as easy as Trump would like it to be. Well, a knock on effect is these scams are getting exposed and we're starting to see real problems with that. Really, with this Blue Owl Capital, it's what they. Do, what exactly have they done that makes them show up in an article for US yep. They closed one of their funds to sell the assets, which is pretty much the last thing a hedge fund or an investment firm, et cetera would ever want to do is say you cannot, not only can you not invest in this anymore, which means I can't get fees and commission off of you. So obviously you don't want to do that, but it makes you look horrible, untrustworthy. And they actually had to sell as well because they're in such a corner. And the question is why why are they taking such desperate measures? Is it? And also is it just them or are all their peers under that same sort of pressure? But no one can really see it because it's shadow banking cockroaches hiding in the kitchen at three in the morning. I need some consulting from you real quick on uh, what what's happening with Blue all and how it should fit on the heat map dashboard. Can you jump back out to the heat map dashboard, okay, and just do a control app and search on hedge fund because there's an indicator and I'm wondering if this isn't this isn't populated correctly, it's gonna be on the heat map dashboard. It's gonna be hedge fund redemptions shut off quick for you, I think halted. Maybe keep up. And if we're it should blue out. Is that is it a hedge part or is. It edge fund redemption stops you? Right? Good question. So private credit is not really a hedge fund. It's more like in between a hedge fund and a bank. This exactly didn't happen right, precisely speaking, hedge fund redemptions were not stopped in the bu al situation. Was it was akin to that, but not quite the same thing. Well, you know what I did. I did my homework today and I researched this and I put some prompts into chat GPT. So let's ask them. Let's just ask chat GPT it's opinion. Oh the hedge fund did redemptions get stopped? And see what it says. Because I want the opinion because all right, while it's calculating or whatever, I think that they are a mix of hedge fund in a bank that's kind of a bastardization of it, and redemptions essentially hmmm, hedge fund redemptions not stop. I don't think this triggers that's your main question, right. Yeah, it's properly speaking, it's not quite a hedge fund, and it's it's not quite the redemption that has legal framework around it. But it sounded like nearly the same thing the way you were describing it. They had other people wealth and they couldn't give it back when they were asked. This is what it is. So the radio ready version I have such a great template on AI Ready. Blue Well is not a hedge fund in the classic sense. It's a massive private credit manager. Some of its investment vehicles have limited redemptions, so you can only take out a certain amount during a certain period, but people are still able to access their capital. There's just some bottlenecks put into it with some waiting periods. The firm has not frozen or collapsed, and it's not their entire firm. It's just a couple of funds so that's the reality check. So little wobble in the financial system tonight for the patriot power our audience, you know, be aware. You know we're seeing we're seeing chinks in the armor tonight. But this isn't necessarily you know, you know, in all hell break you'll lose economically, might be not and might get you know, when's the next growth statistic coming out? GDP announcement could come out with blistering growth and it all looks good again real fast. But we're seeing, you know, a little little signs that you know, some something could be fundamentally unsound. My partner on the show is one thousand percent sure of it, but I'm objective. I'm looking. I want to see if it actually plays out that way. That's why we track it on heat map dashboard. Here's fair right calling the balls and the strikes, But here's a couple of strikes tonight. I think it is a true reflection on a lot of people are growing and making tons of money with AI and just overall ingenuity and advancement of humanity. But also a lot of scams are getting called out, and a lot of old businesses are just dying off because they have no hope of competing. So there are big you know, disconnections and disc bobulation, not of Maduro's guards, but of the stock market itself. And I don't think that's a bad thing. Necessarily, the world becomes more efficient, a lot of great things can be done, a lot of waste is prevented, just like the Internet. But on the flip side, there's a lot of negatives to the advancement. So it's it's interesting to say the least. Yeah, you're looking to have big pictures, you know, social and Civilizationally, I'm looking forward, as you know, at the banks and collapse one of the bank I think they will. I think they will during this term. I saw what happened to George W. Bush at the end of his term. I have no doubt that some amount of anti Trump billionaires would like to set things up to try to make that happen. You know, Larry Summers going down in Harvard, right that crowd, that crowd might want some. Yeah, nothing to lose it this point, they've practically lost it all or especially we get another wave or two of Epstein files. Each each wave is more and more and exposing more folks and what they've done, more extreme and more people actually stepping down and being publicly embarrassed. Need a lot more to happen, but it's not over yet, So man, a lot of variables, to say the least. And when you look at the staging of the State of the Union address, which was like never before, right, you know, Trump's all about setting traps. You'll see when he knows his opponents will walk right into traps, he'll set them. So Clinton's Clinton's up on the hill today. Hillary got out of her testimony. Yeah, just a We actually got a delay in Patriot Power Hour because I need to go and thoroughly investigate the news and make sure all the headlines are update. But representive Bobert did ask her about pizza game. I saw a video of her coming out of the Capitol afterwards with a reporter shouting why do you do it? She said, why not? So I'm giving her credit. To night, giving her credit for showing up there, fighting back. Or asking Hillary Clinton about pizzagate. Given the credit, given the reporter credit, I'm like, wait, wait, wait, what. No Bobert Bobert. Bobert went right after and apparently either her somebody else asked her about UFOs carrying on from a theme. That's one thing that's carrying over from last week when Trump wretting Obama for declassifying UFOs, when Trump said he didn't know whether or not there are aliens, but that Obama had declassified facts. Yeah, yep. And uh, I don't know if the photo is here. I saw it earlier on social media, but it's uh Maxwell at in the same photo frame as Bill walking Chelsea down the aisle at her wedding. Yeah, well Hillary, Well, Hillary answered that tonight and said that she was a plus one. It wasn't directly wasn't directly invited. Man, that woman is slick. But there's other emails that people are putting out online that haven't become news headlines that I could post to future danger, but I will when I get them making making pointing out, Uh, you'll love this something between Epstein, the Rothschilds, and Clinton arranging a meeting for some member of the Ross Childs to meet Hillary, and and it was Epstein replying to somebody else about arranging that and Epstein's saying that that won't be easy. So there's you know, maybe not fire, but they definitely smoke that. How in the world. Did she not know Jeffrey Epstein if he was doing he was communicating those things in his in his emails, right, yeah, and that was under oath, right, So as the president was set, you know that people can go to jail, Hillary can go to jail for a lying to Congress. It's it's now we're past the days under the Obama You know, Eric whatsoever his face was. You know that that Attorney general that that you know, just went fast and furious and all that. Just yeah, yeah, he was in contempt and of course his department didn't prosecute himself. We're past that, right, So Hillary went right into that committee and apparently I saw a news report that the video of the entire depositions coming out within twenty four hours. Bill turns next. Yeah, oh we got Larry Summers and Bill Gates going down fast has been on CNBC so many times. I always want to obviously he was a Treasury secretary too, but I don't know. I'm glad to see this. Want more. I want more. The embarrassment is great, shame him in front of the world. It's better than this is better than I ever thought it would be possible. I won't lie. So I am happy, but I want more. My agree. Oh I thought this was possible. Yeah, but it's powerful pedophiles exposed on heat map dashboard because it's dangerous, right, It's it's one of those like gold price source. Well that's that's great for you if you have gold. Right, But you know, it's great that this is getting out there and we're, you know, cleansing the system. But how far before it gets really destabilizing? Yeah? Not too far actually, especially these people feeling like they're got nothing to lose and just blow it all up. Like that doesn't sound fair Like they're very far from that. If I were them, i'd feel like that. Gosh, I would never done this stuff, and I would anyway, I digress. All right, what else we got to talk about tonight? Big a headline? Pick any headline? National Security push aims to unmask foreign money flowing to American campuses federal agency's partner to enforce foreign funding transparency at universities. Billions and unreported gifts to different colleges and universities, mainly from China. I'm sure they got quite a lot from India and some others as well, but yeah, China absolutely. This is from state sponsored Confucius Institute some of that as well. I could go so many ways with this, I don't even I'll start with I've said this on the show many times. I went to Purdue and especially my master's program, about half the students there were from China, and it was all right. I got to know a couple of them. They were nice enough, worked real hard. It all worked really hard, I'll give them that, but a lot of them were quite robotic. Compared to the taiwan These kids much more americanized. Whatever they can say that's cultural. But my point is I knew I still believe it. At least a couple of those kids were de facto spies for the Chinese government, if not all of them. They don't let them leave unless they like swear it over or something. Right, Well, the only family members they have are two parents because a single child policy. Yeah, so there's. Always two hostages for every student you meet here. Yeah, for sure. And I didn't go to Harvard. But let's call it a tear down. These kids were really excited to go to Purdue. They felt like it as a top ten type of school for this in the United States. So These are the type of kids that were trained from like the age of three. They were brought into this extra special schools to discipline just you know that rope memorization and again, so I got respect for that. But on the other hand, they were very robotic, and I knew for a fact they were being used by the state. They were being used by the state. That's what I'm getting too. Yeah, it's a communist state. I don't know why we ever thought we could trade with them. I'm not sure at the end of the Cold War whether it was appropriate to think that our influence economically that we would push them off of a Marxist Leninist regime and turned them into a free comforty. When they prove tanks over students in Tienamen Square, that's how they should have been thought of, right there, Like, that's what they are. They haven't changed at all. Right, it's it's a it's a it's a dictatorship, and freely trading with them has been a failure and then cludes free trade of education. Right, we're selling education to foreigners. So it's one of our biggest exports, even though it doesn't happen, you know, the education happens here, but the payment right for the education. Those Chinese students are paying their own way right, and most of them are from the Communist Party elite, so you know, we export education services. That's never going to be the same again after what this DJ is looking into. True, true, they went way too far. They've caught onto that. Oh. I had a great thought as always, but it did escape me. Future Dan. Mhmm. We'll keep covering this topic over time. It's more of the spies. Oh, it came back to me. The whole filosophy of the dean of the business school that put together this Masters of Finance and ensured more than half of the students were foreign was essentially the melting pot of world finance, pretty much globalists trying to set it up as like a positive globalist finance experience. Right, this is in two thousand and nine, twenty and ten. And that's the problem is when you're the open society in America and you're dealing with a closed society China where they're sending agents out that they've brainwashed and hold hostage since their children. You could try to influence them and maybe a couple wanted to defect to America, but generally speaking, they're going to take all that from you and give you nothing back. And I felt like the produced staff were doing it for the right reasons. But I know there's this whole the whole reason for this was not for the right reasons. There's people sabotaging America trying to help China, and that's a big reason why this intellectual property and education takeover espionage was put upon it. But it's those kind of good good do gooders is part of it. They want to like, oh, we could reach out to these other cultures and we can all be friends, okay. And it's also the oh we can all make money together that they kind of let it slip, you know, they kind of got hoodwinked and thought, yeah, we can make money and we can have a good cultural exchange. Sounds great, but unfortunately I don't think it worked here. But if you look at like at the end of the Cold War, right, like you know, American goods in in the Soviet Union, like Blue Jeans, right, the rock bands started to go there, right, right, So you know, the idea and it was very it was it seemed valid at the time in the late eighties that you know, our cultural influence, our way of life. It's gonna fundamentally change those regimes. And it did for a while, you know, influenced Russia. Right, that's reversed itself under Plutin. But for a while it was very much opening up. But it never changed most of China. Right. And when those students made these you know, paper mache, sat to liberties and went into Tanneman Square and wanted to wanted you know, the same thing at that that the people that processed the the wall, you know, brought down the down the iron curtain. They tried that in Beijing, and they drove tanks over them. Right, that's a matter of fact. It wasn't going to change. All I know is you know, you know, my citizens don't go to China for an education, don't have to pay to go to China to get a better education. We don't have to steal technology from China. We don't. We We might keep tabs on where they're at with it in case they made a breakthrough, but even if they do, I don't think they would exploit it like we could. Our entire alignment of incentives in this country produces with our nation much much more powerful results. Again, and again and again. Because it's a communist Marxist Leninist regime, it's capped. It's finamentally capped, in my opinion, and and all this China is greater than us. We got to fear of China, might as well give up. They're they're always you know, let's talk about Deep Seek their their AI agent, which is entirely just a rip off. It's just another clone of of of really better large language models that we got speaking of which uh yeah, a little a little uh defense contracting news today. For you go for it. Right before the show, Anthropics CEO president whatever head hans O chief stummoned by the Secretary of War to come talk about how his cunt uh his company is refusing to sign a contract modification to a contract that was already signed and awarded to Anthropic twenty million dollars contract for claw model to be used inside the Department of War. And the Department of War decided to send a contract mod down, which the federal government can do. And this isn't a negotiation, right, This is here where we are modifying your contract signed this that we're going to use to pray any lawful purposes that we choose, and that Anthropics corporate policies of not wanting their technology to be part of autonomous kill chains or mass surveillance of US citizens doesn't mean a lick to the contract they signed. And I'm predicting a termination of that contract based upon what that CEO walking out of the Pentagon said today, which was in good conscience, they can't allow their technology to be used for those purposes. They're going to get a two hundred million dollar contract that was awarded less than a year ago canceled. And when when When that's happening with the federal contract, it comes in two flavors. One of them's called terminate for convenience, which is the US government, when it's buying, can decide at any moment, at any for any reason, it chooses that whatever it decided to buy, it's going to stop buying. And as a taxpayer, I look at that and be like, yeah, that's the right way to buy, right It really is, It really is. But you know, Anthropic is going up. Maybe they understand it, maybe they're about to understand it. The most powerful customer in the world US government buys, and it is very powerful. It is the powerful you know client, and they could get a they can get a termination for convenience just this is done, we don't need you anymore, or they get a termination for default, and default is when it there's penalties. They've also been you know, told that you know, they might get named a supply chain risk. That doesn't mean much in civilian business to business world, but for every other company doing business with the US government, it means nothing. You can't touch anthropic, You can't use that. AI any for any sort of agent or any purpose at all, which which. Is which is crazy ungovernable because many many of these you know, employees of federal contractors are using their own AI subscriptions. How would that, how would that even be governed? I don't know, but my god, that'll be anthropic will be made a poster child of what what you know, your corporate policies. Wait a minute, Wait a minute. You signed a two hundred million dollar contractor delivery your your software as a service. Right you try to remember who you're working for? Yeah, can you explain that again a little bit for myself but also for listeners. Essentially, they signed a contract that then balked at it and said, oh, this is against our moral policy because it's spying on citizens. Or I think they I think they negotiate the contract and they got the licenses into the into the military, and it's the leading you know American large language model. It you know, it's it's got a lot of tokens at a low price. It does very well, and they and the Department of War wanted it, so they bought it. It's moren't million dollars for licenses. And later I think the company went ahead and said it's you know, probably told maybe it's caught up and is this thing pre it's pre I p O, right, So some investors are probably asking, what's his policies, how's this governed? You know, what's governing policies and all that stuff that Wall Street can apply pressure on a company for. And they said that, you know, our policy is that our pool is not available for you know, autonomous kill chain operations like just pure terminator stuff, right, and and also mass surveillance of you assisztens. And I think someone in the Department of War, you know, notice that they set these terms out. And of course they're providing the large language model, right, so they can they can censor it. Right, if a if A if a Department of War, you know, you know, member an armed service member or civilians or contractor someone using the tool tries to do one of those two things, that now the model is going to reject the user request. Right, So the Department of War sent down a modification to their two hundred million dollar contract that said that they're not going to do that, that that that the user who licensed the software will decide what it does, and that it'll be lawful. The Department of War says, you know, we're going to use it for awful purposes, but we're not gonna be bound by you. The company aren't going to set boundaries on what you're doing under this contract. Right. If they wanted to do that, they shouldn't negotiated that into the contract in the first place, and they didn't. Yeah, someone needs to get fired, probably a whole staff of lawyers. I don't know how he makes such a mistake, or maybe it was at the whim of the CEO. He just changed his mind. Who knows he was in he was in there today, Well, yeah, and came out came out and said that that that they can't do it. So, you know he's about to get up to he might be the biggest contract the US government ever terminated, one of the biggest, really, I figure. Two hundred million is chub changed to them. You don't hear that terminated very often. Sometimes there's protests and awards are you know, disputed and no one gets the award. But you know, with the tanker Air Force tanker battles from the previous decade, right, that was the whole thing call caught up in the Congress too, you know. But no, I don't. This could be groundbreaking and it's going to be a warning sign to every other company doing business with US government that, you know, the AI age is going to be governed by the needs of the state. And another thing that we've talked about before on this show during COVID was how the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested to the President Trump in his first administration to use the Industrial Production Act the i PA to force companies like General Electric to produce ventilators. Remember all that forcing them to build ventilators, they have no they had no ability to build them. That was all outsourced to China. So it's just basically putting it in their faith that they couldn't do something, but they you know, the Industrial Production Act. You know, if the President invoked that, then Anthropic is providing its tool under whatever terms the Department of Defense requires. These laws are in place. You know, if we go to full World War three, now that that free market stuff that doesn't necessarily apply for a while. Right, So I'm a prepper and live far away from people, or at least I wish I did, because yeah, I mean whenever it's in all human history, if your village is under attack or freaking World War three, anything in between, your rights will be suspended. That's just how it goes. So be easier to argue against that kind of power given to the state. If we didn't occupy the planet with countries like Russia and China or Iran, North Korea or Cuba, like, if they weren't out there, we wouldn't have to be this way. I give you that. It would help a lot. Still might need to be this way to some degree because there'd be a vacuum for the next one. But I get what you mean. Then it's the classic neo conservative you know argument that always goes to excess, right always always, It's cyclical, right, you have that argument makes sense up until a point, and now you're doing things that are you know, beyond the pale. And I don't know if I don't know what is in store for Iran, but I think they might be catching you know, an asymmetrical warfare attack, aerial attack, unlike unlike, unlike anybody understands right now there could be technologies involved that are you know, you know, a dual purpose. One purpose is to bring down the Mulah regime, but the other one is to demonstrate to our peer adversaries we got capability you can't match, I think, and if played right by this president, that could make everything safer for a long time. But that's true, but it could go to the other direction too. You know. It's it's it's it's a moment in history. We got to be paying attention. If if wild things happen in Iran and people are dying and and and and regimes are falling, but we don't have aircraft in this guy, and we don't have people on the ground, not many, not much in the air. But what's really going on, then then probably breakthrough super weapon kind of capability is being demonstrated. Do you expect anything happened this weekend. Uh it is Thursday, expecting thing this weekend this month? Or do you think it's not a foregone conclosure, conclusion there will be strikes. No Trump's Trumps, you know, absolutely wild card. What what he could do next? Only he in a tight, tight group. No heg Seth Rubio him director of c i A and could change it could change on a dime. He could take a win in so many different ways, right, you know, getting concession, Just get concessions from the Iranians in a meaningful way that no one expected, and call the day and walk away, right, or eliminate the Molula regime too, just like the Maduro regime. That's kind of what I was thinking, is like, well, maybe it'll be a combination of last summer when it was a strike on facilities, but also a combination of Maduro where it's very limited with some of those potentially special weapons. So if it's that rather than a shock at all Iraq two thousand and three style where they're destroying all infrastructure, that's what I don't want to see. I don't expect that type of. Attack or pushing the deep state in tel Aviv because that country has its own deep state to do things on our behalf because there's leverage, Yeah, well, big time leverage. What else is in the Epstein files? That's what we have talked about that, geez, even before the last couple of years. What could would be out there? What's being held over someone's head for better or worse, There's got to be I mean, I don't know. We see less than ten percent of the cards in the other player's hands. So we do our best at Patriot Power Hour, but it's tough to infer all that other cards others got. There's been enough speculation at the Masade and the British intelligence agencies and CIA under Clinton, we're involved in in basically a honey trap of a discussing type with Epstein. I mean, ul Trump has to do is validate that right and and you know he would lose leverage on Israel if he did it, but he could put that out there, so he's got a lot of leverage on that. And Yahoo really does. We got about that? I'd call it five minutes left in the show, we've hit most topics. Was scanning the news dashboard see if there's anything else we missed. I'm not sure if we did, I guess going hand in hand with the education of Chinese on behalf of the US taxpayer. DJ announces the rest the former US Air Force pilot for training Chinese military pilots. I don't know if you have anything else on that, but it's it's rated pretty highly and I think it should. Yeah, it's black ops. It's just another stark example of China working absolutely in the you know, the phase zero mode, doing all things in the phase zero before you fight somebody, everything that you do to prepare. So it is what it is. I don't expect see less news there. Former F thirty five light being two instructor pilot, so this is not some guy that's telling him how to fly a Cessna. So it is big news beer, you know, it's important. That's about it for the actual news blitz. I believe future Dan and the show. I didn't have many other topics besides to say, happy birthday. Didn't trip of commander It's his birthday today, So happy. Birthday, Happy birthday, James and looking to our audience. On episode three three eight Patriot Power Hour on the twenty sixth day of February twenty twenty six. That's that's where we're at with the news, and fully expect then when we reconvene next week, probably on Thursday, maybe not, but probably that we can be seeing an entirely different array of news, or every single one of these things could get a lot worse fast, or could all clear up. You know, maybe maybe we get a little break and there's you know, a lot of a lot of good news out there, not a lot of dangerous news. That's what I'm hoping for. I like dashboards. They're pretty quiet. Actually, me too, me too. Never expected we could hope for it, but uh, prep on, folks, another great show future Dan, have a good one. I'll talk to you next week. Starting next week, Ben
