Patriot Power Hour #340

Email you said, I put this on your action item. Listen, you decide your own love love involvement. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the prepperra Casting 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. We're live March twelfth, twenty twenty six, a little early today, five forty one pm Eastern, Episode three forty Ben the Breaker Banksters Here with Future Dan. We get the heat map dashboard on Future danger dot Com. Zoomed out did a lot of news. Ben, there is way above I think, certainly above average on the severity, but the frequency. It's a top ten percent, top fifteen percent type of show. So we're not gonna have time to mess around. We're going to jump into that dashboard and be efficient. But I can talk about any of these articles for Darnie the whole hour, but we're gonna have to be efficient and do our best. But in the aggregate, in the zoomed out view, what's the dashboard telling you right. Now, scatter brain. I've been feeling scatter brained in a lot of different ways in my own work life as well as from a news point of view, because there is a lot going on. Obviously Iran huge part of it, but there are so many other articles popping up here. Some are not even that serious, or at least currently as they're shown. That doesn't mean they won't turn into that So scatter brain, but almost in a good way. The dashboards meant to capture a wide net when there is legitimate news, and it sure seems like it. I think a lot of column two's driving calm three, though that's not necessarily scattered. There's causality in the economics resulting from the war in the Middle East, so then on top of that, there's just somewhat random stuff also going bad. And what we try to do here is connect those dots when we can. But at some point we are here on the Prepper broadcasting Network. I don't think we need to convince people to prep but we do relate this back to prepping and preparedness mindset, etc. But you're right, there are certainly a few highly correlated threads on this dashboard. If you look at it and as we talk through it, but there is sort of that randomness going on, or maybe not so random. We'll try to talk through it. But it's a wide swath for sure. We're looking at COVID. What six years ago, it had much more severity, but it was a lot more focused in a couple our mainly early on in the economic and health and then later on a lot more on the free speech censorship and forced vax fight and all of that. But now all four columns are quite full. So yeah, very unique, always unique on the Patriot Power Hour. Yeah, and we talked about it right before the show. So as editor of Future Danger, you know, certain types of events demand you know, attention, right and one of those events that we're not having right now is rioting. But if there's writing or an assassination or you know, something that could have breaking news. But what tends to happen is it's. You know, I become more sensitive to other news, and it might might bloat the heat map dashboard because I'm finding, you know, grade five green topical news that on other days might not might not be found. Because I'm not as sensitive to the news environment. But after about the first three days of the Iran War, it came pretty clear that that there's no real need to be our by hour sensitive about that. Right, So. This eat map that you got here is just, I would say, pretty much just an average amount of effort going into finding news on yours truly, So it's sort of remarkable like that. It's just lots of things going. On, always a lot of variables going on in life. But if you're putting in average level of time and discernment into what goes onto the dashboard, and we're seeing a top ten or top twenty percent in terms of volume and severity, that means we're not making things up, but we're not telling listeners probably much. I gotta feel that they know a lot of stuff's going on. So howout we start informing them. Any topics you want to hit on first, or dashboard or what you're thinking. Well, I look to hit on that topic. Right. What you're talking about is if you go to the mainstream media and listen to them, you might get in your mind that this heat map dashboard should be just all red and black, just end of the world, right. I mean that's the type of thing you're getting in the financial news, price of oil, this type of thing you're getting, you know, just in reaction to war that just Trump has. Brought a news environment worldwide that has. Just a massive amount of rejection of everything he does. But the future danger heat map is about discrete indicators that are strictly you know, you know, objectively dangerous to America dangerous. Right, there's a lot of a lot of headlines here. We only got two black on reds, three four reds right, so on the cusp of of a of a true you know, March twenty twenty six crisis, and we could easily be there by next week. But right now it's you know, a lot of what you're hearing in the anti Trump media is somewhat overblown, I think. Well to be expected. Absolutely now. There is a lot a lot of problems going on, but a lot of success is going on. Hm, where do you want to start? Honestly, you want to just knock out Iran and then we can do the dashboard and go from there. Or just do the dashboard because we're gonna be talking about Iran all. Right, Well, let's just start with that first one. Seven key developments in seven days, essentially boiling down a whole week of key developments into just this article. That's the SHTF level article for Israeli Iranian war starts. We got a couple other but I will say this, Taiwan did not get attacked by any means. But we do have the DPR, which is North Korea South Korea conflict cruise missile tests from a destroyer during the ROK which is South Korea, US military drills North Korea cruise missile tests during South Korea drills. How about this B one and B fifty two is pour into Europe evidence that the B one was used in a few attacks recently. There in Iran, we have threats force the AG to move onto military installation, threats of harm and assassination, et cetera. This is under now it's only a low grade indicator, but under senior official assassinated, and this is not the first elected official or what not to seek shelter within a military installation. We do have former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory going missing, very rare for that to happen. Russia providing Iranian intelligence to target US forces, the Kremlin coming out and saying we are not neutral, We're not play neutral. We support Iran Muslims in New York City throw IEDs while yelling alu akbar at anti mayor protesters. Obviously the mayor Muslim. So there was anti mayor protests and Muslims come there to throw bombs at them, they claim, at least some of them claim that their Islamic State sympathizers. Heard this here on PBN earlier this week. They talked about it a lot. Claimed that the US intercepted encrypted comms from Iran that may trigger sleeper assets. A couple more in geopolitical and domestic just overall security column, Chinese president hints at more top purges. We've been covering that quite a bit. Issues a warning to corrupt elements within the People's Liberation Army and riots erupting. This is especially as the weather gets warmer, people get more relentless, get close to the mid term, street takeover, mob storms, luxury Los Angeles apartments, brawls with staff. So we've had hotels, apartments, stores, and even anti mayor protests in New York attacked. We've also had a couple shootings, but no major sleeper cell outbreak. Knock on wood, hope it does not happen. That's it, I believe. For the security column. Let's move on very quickly to the first column. Under liberty, Congress declines to demand to say, in the Iranian war, is it a war? Is a conflict? Well, Congress declines to demand to say in that world at war, global conflict? Is this World War three? Is is World War four? Talk through that epic fury Day eleven and beyond us promises most intense day of strikes on Iran. We're not even gonna chronicle those here. There's just so many. That's all under SHTF level indicator war unconstitutionally waged. Epstein travesty continues, but hopefully more and more truth gets out there. Zoro Ranch searched by New Mexico investigators. I mean, I knew about zoro Rans like a decade ago, so I don't know why it took us so long. Pathetic Epstein guard googled him minutes before his body was found. Apparently, who conducted Epstein autopsy? Explains why she hesitated to declare that his death was a suicide. Yeah, ho, would you like to be the doctor? Epe's body here? Oh my gosh, runaway fast. FBI secretly seizes election records from the largest Arizonian county as voting probe expans try that again. FBI secretly seizes election records from the largest county in Arizona as the probe expans continue to cover that too. Three women induted in Alabama for voter fraud and in Virginia in trepid Commander and the one and only Dave Jones certainly talking about this. Quite a lot of Virginia lawmakers pass assault firearm BAM under modern semi automatic fire arms prohibited. We got to talk about that. Economically, oil is about one hundred dollars closing today. On the twelfth of March, it actually spiked up to about one hundred and twenty bucks for a few hours, came back down to the mid eighties, and is now back up to one hundred dollars barrel. Cost of diesel is climbing, climbing faster than gasoline. We got to watch this. In my opinion, that one hundred to one hundred and twenty dollars oil, it's not great for the economy. It's not absolutely crippling, but more than that, big time trouble for Trump's recovery. VIX approaches one year high twenty three point five seven, which is high for the last year, but twenty three vix is not red alert. The world is ending yet. Payrolls unexpectedly fall in February on a plate, unemployment rate rises. Obviously, gas is going up in price, TSA unfunded TSA long airport lines three hour TSA delays, and airports. I might be doing some traveling soon. I guess I'm just gonna get the airport eight hours early. I don't know. Cliff Water private credit fund gets redemption request totally fourteen percent. We went into deep detail about private credit funds just in the last couple of weeks here on Patriot Power Hour. Well, a different fund has had fourteen percent of its total value requested back by the customers in a panic. That's a bank run in all intensive purposes. If this spreads beyond, this could be big. We'll keep an eye on it. Price caps and rationing and stockpiling. With regard to fuel, YEP, fuel is so important to the economy, so that price will be watching closely. From the health and nature point of view, there's definitely been some storms tornadoes and Oklahoma. Four dead in a dozen injured in Michigan from a tornado as well. Louisiana hit by earthquakes, which is not very common. There strongest quake in decades in Louisiana. Scientists dumped sixty five thousand liters of chemicals into the ocean in a geoengineering experiment. See this is something I can spend half an hour talking about, but we have so many other articles to talk about. But don't underestimate geoengineering. Six inches of hailstone sets new Illinois RECORDRD. Yeah, I had a buddy who said his cars getting messed up bad over there, and finally to end it up as a nerd. If you know the video game called Doom, it's always a kind of a meme or kind of a running joke. What's the least powerful system, most basic system you can program to actually play the game Doom? Well, they they being scientists, had lab grown human brain cells, and they were able to have these lab grown human brain cells essentially in a peatrie dish play the video game just based off reactions in the neurons and just you know, talk about being brain dead, but just kicking ass in a video game. I guess it's possible future day and I don't even know where to go after that? But quite a newsblitz. I beat that game Block Leave once in nineteen ninety seven from beginning to end. I never played it that side at it and played straight to the end and beat the boss in like nice four days. So yeah, my story in Doom is I was probably in third grade. A kid I knew had a computer that could play it, and I always just wanted to go to his house. It finally got to go over to his house and see it. And we always wanted the BFG three thousand, which is the big effing gun three thousand. That's something Spamberger in Virginia. Not like the BFG three thousand, but you know that in the chainsaw and the rocket launcher. I'd like to talk about this all day, but we got serious news. Where do you want to head? Doom is a pivotal game though, oh. It literally is. Yeah, they have brain. Matter on a plate able to play it does sort of it's somewhat ironic that you finished there. I think you're spotting headlines and you're reading the heat map dash or kind of like where you want to start with, but the point you want to make at the end. So that was that was a little bit artful, I must say, was it on purpose? You know, I'm just serend deputy or I'm just going with. It, But. There you go. Eight hundred thousand to one million neurons were clustered in a Petrie dish forming a mini brain. Well, the human brain has so many more neurons than this is ridiculous. So no excuses out there, people. Yeah, I was gonna make a Democrat joke. But anyway, Uh, I ran seven key developments in seven days. Give me a couple thoughts on what's evolved over the last week and what you're thinking we'll be talking about during our season finale next week. I don't know, I don't know. I've seen reports recently that, you know, the strikes are now targeting you know, revolutionary guard are checkpoints, cyber attacks on bank systems so that the revolutionary guards aren't getting paid. You know, there's there's reports like that. I noticed reports I've talked about on this program before, seen video of very exotic effects in the atmosphere, the stuff that doesn't look like explosions, but it looks violent. It's like big electronic funnels of energy and and and and other things that people are catching on their phones and inside of Iran. So you know, we've talked about President's talked about essentially super weapons. I'm wondering if they're getting used, and I'm wondering what effect they're having. But it's probably a giant testing ground for that sort of thing right now. And then there's the straight of horm moves, straight of horr moves. My god, you can't turn on mainstream media without hearing that geographic feature repeated because it's you know, obviously going to be you know, wrapped around Trump's neck at the midterms if oil sales along at high prices and I sent a back channel message. It's not a heat map, dashboard headline because it happened in two thousand and eight, But it is true to say that in July of two thousand and eight, oil did hit one hundred and forty seven dollars a barrel, and Layman Brothers went bankrupt the following September. That was not the cause of it, but corse environment to say that. It's the environment when other things can go very bad. Give the interconnectivity of you know, it's a strategic resource. You know, you gotta gotta have gas, you gotta have oil, gotta have diesel. There is no changing that fact. And if it runs it really high prices for some amount of time, it's gonna be wealth destruction, right. Yeah, it can only be. Of course, there'll be some winners involved. If you own a steak and some oil producing land or an oil company, you might be okay with one hundred or one hundred and twenty bucks, But most people probably gonna cost, you know, raise your cost of living a bit and a great point on the one hundred and forty face it almost everything's doubled or tripled in price since two thousand and eight, but oil was cutting half from its peak, right, and you can maybe say we're at where it was on an average point of view in middle of the two thousand decade, maybe up through twenty twelve. Obviously a lot more production came online in America in the last decade, and NBC guy talks about this a lot, which is great. Imagine if we weren't producing oil at this point here in America. But here's a question, did we patriot power our underestimate oil prices or is it nothing really to get worried about? Because I talk a lot about gold and silver. We talk about a lot of different things, but we haven't talked much about oil. Maybe we took it for granted or you know, it was a it was a tailwind. Now it's going to become a headwind. Yeah, it's you know, going back to nineteen nineties, I'm insane invading Kuwait, Right, it's just this trigger thing. Right. In fact, go back in before that and look at the look at the war plans that that our military had during the Cold War about you know, stopping Russia from basically invading through you know, Turkey and and and Iran and seizing the Persian Gulf. There are all kinds of plans for like if the Soviet Union tried something like that, here's how we would stop it. So because everybody's known, I mean, but I don't know. I'm seeing these headlines like the newly appointed Iotola. It's making pronounce its like we're gonna have the the Gulf has been mined and it's gonna be shut off, right, And where is this guy? Like how many levels and down in a bunker is he hiding at? There's nothing left of the Iranian navy. And although they do have drones and conceivably they'd have like scatterable munitions that you can fire from artillery into the into the Persian Gulf. I mean, and obviously the the drones, right, but you know, for how long, like how much longer are they gonna be able to put anything out there? So I think it's hype. I really think it's hype. For all, I know by this episode of Patriot Power next week that Iotola is dead, with you know, many scores of other temporary members of that regime. So it's really easy to be premature and overestimate what any of this means in Iran. I think, yep, we're witnessing it as it progresses. It's just like COVID reminds me that we're documenting it. I feel like I can't really put my finger on it, you know, my opinion on things. Got to see it develop a little bit more. But well, I ran sure get the crap blown out of it. I'll say this, The Kataris are freaking out, but why wontn't they Their lifeblood is not getting out. I work in the insurance. I've been to Lloyd's in London. It's all about whether they'll get insurance or not. And I got a feeling the boys in London in New York City don't like Trump very much, but they like making money. So it's quite the contests of powers here. So much money at stake, so many people that want the oil to flow, but on the other hand, a lot of folks want it to stop, just if only to screw up Trump. Right, there's enough of those people alone, So there you go. Man, It's it's a quagmire, say the least. If you wanted to promote more drilling in the United States, yeah, this is the way to do it. All the investment calculations of you know, do you go after the shale, do you go after you know, do you start drilling? Do you get down in there? And you got a Department of an Interior and Department of Energy that will, you know, just let it. They're gonna let it happen. They want it the policy. So what's our what's our oil and gas industry look like coming out of this too? You ready for this? I do have a master's in finance, pastors economics, and I've played a lot of Simbcitian games, so I'm qualified to say this absolutely transform our infrastructure where everything except for transportation is fully electrified via nuclear plants asap, and then transportation is We could have some electrified fleets, but that's where the fossil fuel should go to because it's so much easily transported, and all the infrastructure to distribute the gasoline internal combustion engine is there. Blah blah blah blah blah. Let alone the batteries required for all electrics. So man, we should just freaking build nukes, electrify everything, and then shunt all the carbon liquefied fuel into transportation. We can have thirty cent a gallon gasoline out there. I'm just saying. I paid sixty seven cents a gallon once. That was during Clinton's second term late nineties. Holy geez, I remember seeing it below a dollar, but I was not of driving age at the time, so. It wasn't nineties. It wasn't even a gimmick. It was just it was in Georgia, Eastern Georgia. For just it's been running like under a dollar all summer, but. I saw it. I got it for sixty seven cents once. Pretty crazy, pretty crazy diesel go ahead. It should be under two like if if we didn't have these strategic problems with it, it'd be under two. Yeah, well you got to hit it more multi faceted problem. You got to hit for more than one side of course, so more production, but also rearranged infrastructure. Nukes, baby, get the nukes going. The nuke technology is literally fifty to sixty years newer than three mile Iral or Ale or Fukushima, so it's much safer and better anyway. Yeah, trust that government to store the word. I'm worried about. Yeah. No, I know the middle of Iran, it's got a good you know a lot of craters. We could bury it, yeah, repurpose they're old mountain bunkers for disposal. Yeah. Some kind of space cannon rail gun that would just fire off pellets into the sun would make sense to me. No, I think that just blow up and just contaminating everything. I honestly think the waste is overrated. But I think we could. I think we can. I think we're gonna get to rail guns that actually put payload into space so much cheaper than you know, rocket right, and you know a little bit about rockets and rocket insurance, be much safer than a rocket, right, liquid fueled rocket compared to you know, a magnetic gun that can throw something up into space. Now that device that would do that, you know, you might I might want to find some undesirable, unpopular place for it to throw from. But that's you know, it would take a reactor to get enough electricity to build a gun big enough to do what you needed. But at that point, you know, point the waste at the sun and get it off the planet. We don't need that problem here. And if you could do that, and you could also run you know, you know nuclear cores that we're safe from natural disaster, right, Fukushima, big big problem. So put putting the nukes and you know, using nuclear energy technology smarter than ever before is what it would take to do what you envision. I'm all for it, but you got to have governments that are confident enough to do this. Ah, I know you pop the bubble of my dream of my head. As soon as you said that, I was like, ah, damn it. He's right, all right, man, we got a lot. Unfortunately, I do have a fairly hard cut off right about at the hour mark, and we are thirty minutes in, so I got thirty minutes. I want to crank out as much as we can what do you think. They get it on a tour de forest? What articles do you want to talk about Virginia. You know, the headline here is a little bit misleading because it's a ban on sales, right, Yeah, it's not a band on possessions. So what the governor and legislates you're trying to do is essentially kill a very vibrant farms making industry in their state, and it just move to the states. And if you're in Virginia, you can. Travel that state, buy anything you want and have it at home because the only thing that's being banned is the sale. Right. This seemingly came out of nowhere. But never should feel like they're not coming after our guns. Ever. They always want your guns, even when they're quiet like they've been the last couple years, but seemingly out of aware. Now, this bill did get neutered, as far as I'm aware, and we should you know, all defer to Intrepid Commander NBC guy and uh, don't tread on me whether their special guests d tom Uh. They know the exact specifics. But at one point, like the original bill, which wasn't going to pass as is, they were trying to make it like a felony if you possessed them. So there was no grandfathering of it. Obviously that they backed down, but these freaks, that's where they start their negotiation, right, So I don't know, do not comply is what I said. Do not comply. Virginia can pass a bunch of laws that are struck down by the first federal court that it gets to. Because California, New York, Massachusetts, others have tried, Connecticut, it's those are that's already settled law. So banning the sale, you know, now you're into interfering with economic activity in an unjust way. It's gonna get sued. And in fact, all this produce challenges that become case law that you know, you know, we find out that the. Doing this is unconstitutional. So I'm not afraid of it. This could work out well in the wrong long run, so that any any sales on on an otherwise legal weapons, you know, found found constitutional. I love to see that link of the Second Amendment to where the economics the sale, the property piece of it is, you know, bearing arms to me has a you know, an aspect of property to it. And I don't think any constitutional case law has ever kind of locked that in yet. It's not going to be we have to go to the local muster station, to the weapons locker and get your bold action. That's not what the founders met. I'm pretty sure. Fain they meant. What they meant that we have battle rifles. They meant that we have what our country's infantry has, that we have every possible means to fight back in that in that manner. Not jet fighters, not armored vehicles, not RPGs, but the battle rifle. We we always have the battle rifle. I don't care if the US Army fields a laser gun. We have a right to that. I think that's pretty simply said. It was the brown best and I don't care if it's the you know, plasma rifles that the terminator tried to buy. We deserve them if they're if that's what the line units have. Otherwise, the entire concept of being able to, you know, we the people establish a more perfect union, right, the right to revolution. It's meaningless if the population doesn't have at least that weapon, right. I don't think it's out of lie to say we'll have some sort of laser rifle the next fifty years especially if there are robotic advances, and of course energy storage that's the big problem. How are you going to get the energy to shoot that? But yeah, as long as uh, you know, as long as bullets still take down, you know, and defend yourself battle rifle it is you. Want to you want to carry a mini nuke on your back pack and plug in, you could probably have that. You could have a rail gun that did that. Now I'm not sure how you would shield that reactor that you're walking around with, So. Current technology is not possible. Is probably not really thermodynamically possible as we know. Then then lots of other aircraft that could be doing things that are very exotic might be it might be the real reason why we're seeing videos of very unconventional effects. We might be there, but it's the type of thing, you know, if our government or any government had had successfully miniaturized nukes, weaponized in those manners and summon the electricity necessary. To do things with magnetic fields, right. That, it's got to be classified. We cannot share that with adversaries right. No way, although they'll be able to see a little bit intel for themselves to scare the crap out of them. Which is probably part of the reason, of course right to use them. Yeah, well, think about this way. You know how long four years and a couple of weeks Iran's been at war, or Russia has been at war in Ukraine. You know, now just to the. South we're demonstrating and you know, it's proxy, and proxy very very much resembles what we saw during the Cold War, right with Soviet Union invading Afghanistan and failing long after we tried to occupy and hold South Korea or South Vietnam and ultimately had to withdraw. Right, So it's you know, it's it's it's superpowers with proxy wars again. Right, all right, I'm gonna pick another article. Let's see what we can hit. Let's just knock out any other economics because besides energy prices, there's not a ton of news. There is a little bit of a fall and payroll, but I feel like that's more truthful data. I'm not gonna put my life on it. But we know for a fact Biden administration was fraud and before really even too, but especially then fraudulent data. So just the normalization over time of the numbers by less fraudulent data could cost some of this, but as it stands, unemployment rate did rise a little bit. So if you get unemployment up inflation up at the same time, that's worst case scenario. We'll be on the lookout for that. Let me go take a look at the markets here where we got let me throw it up over here. I think Brent's over one hundred dollars. Barrel heard that about an hour ago. It is we got actually not even sharing my screen of it, but that's okay, we got Yep, Brent's over one hundred wtis ninety seven dollars. Gold and silver haven't seen some crazy explosion like you might have thought, like, oh my god, the world's ending ten thousand gold. Nope, gold's less than fifty one hundred, still above five thousand, but relatively tepid the last few weeks, especially since I ran silver eighty three bucks. It didn't like blast past one hundred bucks or one hundred and fifty because all the silver's gonna get used up in all the Tomahawk missiles. That did not seem to be the truth. But they are maintaining their prices even though some you know, the markets, the stock market as a whole is down seven hundred and thirty nine for the Dow. The Dow was above fifty thousand, near it's high. Right now it's at forty six thousand, six hundred, so wow, it's down eight percent from its high. The world is not falling, even though CNBC might say so. The private credit market with another player not Blue Owl. Oh yeah, another player having redemption. Though before the show, you and I were talking about a phenomenon on the heat map that we've yet to you know, see happen at least not in you know, back to back beat to beat fashion. Taking us back to the summer of twenty nineteen, we covered a lot of news that August and September, massive repo desk transactions, the systemically important banks that have the ability to just go just have money made up from thin air and just handed to them overnight, right in you know, short term borrowing. And then in March of twenty twenty, everything flew apart that seems really easily financially when COVID came along. So that was sort of a first instance over here happened and this is this is happening, but that's months apart. But we're looking at private equity right now. On the side kind of you know, metastasizing and hemorrhaging, seemingly unrelated to the strike on Iran or anything that Trump's done in his second term. But there it is. I don't know, it could be nothing. It could be just like, uh, it looks like it was going to be bad but that story kind of faded. Or you know, we're we're short amount of time away from this dashboard getting all black on red. Oh, I got a new analogy. You ready for this. We've had the submarine analogy back in the day where all the pressure and the escape vows and the bolts fly it off at high pressure and then it implodes. Now we get did I use this example already? My bathroom sub floor rotting out? Is that I have? I gone through that on the show. But uh, recently you telegraphed this one, okay a few weeks ago. It was it was in passing that you made the analogy. So yeah, let's let's 's tell this a little bit more so. It is the opinion of Bed the breaker Basters that the financial system is equivalent to my subfloor that was rotting out under my bathroom over the last five plus years, where first and foremost, so I'm renting currently, and I learned that that same sub floor kind of had a paper over fixed sort of situations six years ago because I already had some of those issues, so they kind of mitigated it, added a new layer of plywood on top, painted it up a little bit, bam new toilet, and called it cool. However, that did not actually fix a lot of the number one true deep rot. Number two, the actual cause of why it was rotting in the first place, which was just high humidity and bad situation. Overall. I didn't do the best job of keeping it, but I did, Okay, it was. It's a tough spot where we live in over here. It's like where the Hobbits live. I've got moss growing on our ceilings. Practically very humid. Anyway, slowly but surely rotted. But at some point it just fell out. Luckily I didn't actually fall through my my floor. But the entire financial system has been rotting like the sub floor, day after day, year after year, especially at certain times, but overall all the fraud from since two thousand and eight is what I'm saying. The sub rot floor really began, or maybe that was the last remodel of the financial system nine to ten. Of course, COVID, I got a better crazy ass renter story for you, you know, like just you know, like the last house I rented before. Before I owned property, and it was a townhouse, and. You know, when you rent you can hang pictures and you can drill holes and walls, right, And I wanted to have a rack and my that would hold the pots and pans up above. So I drilled holes and that was fine. But then one day something broke in the bathroom upstairs unbeknownst to us. The only the only way I knew is after a while, the entire third floor filled with water and it was just pouring like a garden hose out of the holes that I drilled in the kitchen. And yeah, and then the whole dining room section was you know, it had a chandelier. It all just came down boom, all the drywall, whole thing fell. It was soaking wet. And they did the same thing as your landlord. They just they just passed it up. And I'm like, did you fix the did you fix the pipes? And I didn't get a straight answer, and I'm like, all right, that's the end of this lease, I am. Out of here. I am not just very it lived with this coming apart, this seems like I couldn't believe that the most economical answer for the landlord was just pl master it over, patch it over right. Who knows, maybe they thought they could sell it that way soon, right, So yeah, I've seen that behavior before. It was crazy when I saw it, was like, no one who would own property would behave that way. But if you're you know, if you're just leasing. It, look at what happens starting. Derivatives and not not not direct ownership of things, which you know obviously that's what our financial system is all about. Can get super rich without directly owning anything and just betting on the side about everything. That's your artistic flurry for the day. Bringing it all the way back to Cliffwater LLC flagship private credit fud Well, could they be but borrowing to try to scam more money out of the system. But guess what, they're the first ones to rot out it actually exactly so. I believe, of course the JP mortgage of the world are rotten underneath, but they're not gonna be the first to fall. They actually have a buttress of stronger material. But these now they're ain't a small fund at all. This is just one fund within Cliffwater LLC is thirty three billions. So that's when hell the landlord, right, that paper's over it just all it cares about is quarter to quarter survival. At this point, most of the time it's quarter to quarter performance. But now it might flip into quarter to quarter survival, which is that's when it gets nasty. Yeah, and there's thieves that are lining it up, set it up in a situation just like the great financial Crisis of two thousand and eight, where somehow, you know, pass on the cost of all this to the renter. Make you know, like as you said before, just socialize the losses. Someone trying to you know, line yourself up so that now they have to bail us all out. That kind of thinking inevitably is in that rotten floor right now. Yep, exactly what they're looking to do. And that's why, Yeah, it comes back to the they'll own nothing great reset, right, I ain't no conspiracy theory. They want you to have less equity partly to the spirit. You get rid of your spirit because if you own something to care more about it like I got a fairly new truck and I take away better care of it than's a beeter I used to have. Let's just say that. But just ownership is like a prideful thing, but also like you are at the whim of the landlord a lot more. And so if the government or the banksters freaking own own and you just got a rent from them, whether that's your money or anything, you know, they want you to rent everything from them pretty much. So we get the imploding submarine bolt coming off, which is symbolic of bitcoin spitcoin's low right now, but it could be an excellent buying opportunity when the implosion comes. And we also have the rotten sub for. Metaphor, We're always looking for the signs of these private equity little hedge fund here, some other kind of fun there, something out there on the margins that only the you know, the people that are you know, as I've turned them over focused on money. Like the people are constantly looking at markets all day, they hear about these things. The rest of us, just regular people out in America. Frequently we don't and I didn't either, I never I couldn't tell you what Bear Stearns or Layman Brothers was in two. Thousand and seven. Wouldn't pay attention. Pay attention now, because that's where some of that big economic collapse that we've always worried about that could keep you. That's where it's coming from. One players on the side. What did Jamie diamond call them the cockroaches? Yeah, exactly, Jamie Diamonds calling the private credit people cockroaches. Well do you oh you want that to be your landlord? Yeah? No, nasty cross all right, Oh gosh, I had had another good one, but all your real. World landlord raised the rent yet that's probably coming. No, but I'm hoping to convert into an owner myself in time. But we'll see. They're very nice actually, and uh, we'll see. We'll see. They know they know you know that they have a rotten sub form. So yes, yes, no, we're all we're kind of out of Mexican standoff. We're all happy with each other enough, we're all and no one's going to make a wrong move. I think they'd let me resign if I wanted to, but I do want to get out. But but they did fix it up nicely. You know. I got a new shower and bathroom, floor out of it whatever. So they didn't patch it over this time. This time they did not. No, So that's exactly, and. That's the metaphor for our economy. Like, one of these times, this stuff's gonna break and fall through, and it has to be a real crash, has to be real consequences. There has to be moral hazard reinforced inside of this, and it can't be a gigantic bailout that has people right now in their twenties are struggling to find jobs because entry level jobs could increasingly be performed by artificial intelligence, so mid, mid and late. Career people are just doing those jobs themselves. You know, try try to twelve tell twenty year olds that you know, this is a debt that you're going to face. You know, they're not, haven't it. Something's got to give this time. Oh. This is where the most interesting part of economics and finances, the behavioral economics, the human aspect, because it totally will not go forever like this. It's just win and where will it snap? Behaviorally. There's the math to it, of course, which is interesting and stuff, but really all that matters is the human and humans are super irrational and they can bend in flex for quite a while, but at some point they just all snap together and boom total I don't know, overthrow. I guess you could say of the system reset. But we talked about this all the time. Who's gonna be in charge of that next generation on the financial system? Is it gonna be free markets and you know, hard money or is it just gonna be the banksters doing it all on the blockchain? Right? If it's that, then we're. Screwed, yeah, or commas. That or freak obviously just execute people like Menia in ten years, which we're going to fight against. But you know, yeah, yeah, there's other scenarios. That's way we're actually for sure we should not lose sight of that, because it's not even like Gallows humor. We are a patriot power our episode? Are we three forty tonight ben yeap episode and putting it out there for posterity. We're leading on the front parafet, just like the boys at Bunker Hill, putting rounds down range on tyrants. The banksters. Anyway, it's gonna prevent us from having another two hundred and fifty years of freedom and greatness, and that comes in many shapes and forms. But the way we do it is we talk about what's dangerous now the United States of America and lots of news tonight that we covered on episode three forty. But it's not a crisis. We can just fine, but gotta pay attention you never. You always gotta be vigilant, right, that's what we're here for. Appreciate doing a show with you. Appreciate the audience listening.

Is that the real equinox. It's a couple of days before, but it'll be uh right right around the spring one. Yet, Yeah, you know, keep keep keeping it on a nice quarter by quarter perspective. Since the beginning of us doing the duo Patriot Power Hour always helps me kind of you know, reset, like have I seen this in a winter before? What have I? Have we gone into a spring like this before? Right? You know, kind of kind of builds a structure and framing the Patriot Power Hour. So stick with us, stay for a few seasons, listen to see what we have to say.
