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 Futuredanger dot com. We're live Patriot Power Hour, Episode three hundred and forty one, March eighteen, twenty twenty six. We're going straight to the headlines. Last week we had forty two headlines. It was a very busy week. We have fifty eight right now. We thought forty two was a lot. We got fifty eight. Let's just get started, no time to waste. Let's roll. Virginia lawmakers pass assault firearm ban, California school bands brands first grader racist over any life matters drawing. We'll get to Iran in a second. We have that across the board. But continuing, Judge protects FED chairman quashes a DOJ pressure campaign, subpoena over renovations of the Federal Reserve building in DC billions of dollars. Minnesota Senate rams through sweeping anti Second Amendment measures. Firearm laws to watch in twenty twenty six got a whole list of different laws to watch, and more coming out of Virginia. Ten anti Second Amendment bills await Virginia governor's signature keeping in burying arms is infringed under life, liberty and property being deprived without due process. Michigan's red flag gun law use jumps thirty one percent, So all different ways are coming off the guns. We have war unconstitutionally waged a trend. We keep reporting on Iran's drone assaults down ninety five percent, as the Secretary of War declares Operation Epic Fury still ramping up. Twelve thousand troops across four southern border states prepared to join the fight against Mexican drug cartels. So multiple wars going on here. You can almost say Iran war maps tracking the Mideast conflict all here on future danger dot com at your fingertips. US forces dropped multiple five thousand pounds deep penetrator munitions unheardened Iranian missile sites near the coastline of the straighted horror moves, A little less extreme but still important articles in the first column, House Oversight Committee, subpoenas, AG and Epstein probe six million total pages relief or excuse me, there are allegedly these six million pages of that three million have been released. Seventh Circuit slams Chicago judge over her constitutionally suspect orders against the Trump administration. A little constitutionally suspect. Undercover video exposes California elections fraud, cash for ballots scheme. Truth will come out there. That is the first column. We got a few more to go. Let's keep rolling. Under the security column. Israeli's kill Iranian internal security chief the highest rated article of the week. There was a jihadi killer that was killed by a ROTC cadet with a knife. In the back channels. We're talking about that Islamic terror strike, Michigan synagogue and Virginia and a university in Virginia. Terror threats rise amid Iran war, but had not seen huge uptick in sleeper cells as feared. Still though, the synagogue attacker in Michigan a few days ago had ties to Iranian backed Hezbal rocket unit, so they're out there. Three hundred and seven Iranian illegal aliens nabbed by US border patrol in Trump's second term, So just in the last year, three hundred and seven Iranians minimum military assets moved. Do not see this indicator too often, so worth paying attention to thirty first Marine Expeditionary Unit order to the Middle East. That's twenty two hundred marines aboard three Navy amphibian amphibious ships. NATO dissolves. This is an uptick recently. The indicator NATO dissolves has several articles under it. Let's go start to finish. The President blast NATO after Allies rebuff a call to reopen the Strait of Horn moves. He calls it the Coalition of the unwilling. He says the US needs no help. One day after express see confidence that the Allies would give aid, European nations pull their anti ISIS mission troops out of Iraq. So there were European troops fighting Isis in Iraq getting pulled out. Trump saying on NATO they will do nothing for US. President says, continue NATO membership certainly something we should think about, meaning whether we should continue NATO membership. Big developments there a few let's call them topical news articles, was still really important and could change instantly. North Korea launches multiple ballistic missiles in a test. Freedom Shield is the name of an exercise in South Korea. Multinational forces arrive in South Korea for that exercise Freedom Shield, just when North Korea launches the ballistic missiles. But this is something that's happened for many years, so we'll keep an eye on it. But it is topical. Deep state protection of the seth Rich files might be ending. Will the seth Rich files come out? What could those contain? Russia is keeping Iran in the fight. It's sharing satellite imagery, drone technology, a little bit of what NATO's doing in Ukraine. Russia can't emulate that perfectly, but anything they can do they're trying. Northern Command chief calls Russia adversary with greatest capabilities, So Northern Command, the head of that, the chief of that. It's calling Russia really the adversary with the greatest capabilities, not China. Search area conditions hindering invest mitigation into the missing Air Force General We talked about that last week. That is the security column, economics, SHTF level rarely have seen this. Only in the worst crises have we seen this. Four oh one K funds are being rated record high, record high, more than twenty eight more than twenty twenty four oh one K hardship withdrawals hit record high. Crude oil just under one hundred bucks. It is up forty percent in the last few weeks, but has not really crossed at least for a significant time one hundred dollars mark. But diesel up back up to five bucks, Gasoline up a bit. National ga national average of one gallon of gasoline in the United States three dollars and seventy five cents. There's a fertilizer bottleneck because well, it's not just gasoline and diesel that comes out of crude oil. A lot of things do, including fertilizer. Plus there's a lot of other shipping in horror moves as well that's involved with fertilizer, food, and all types of production. So this bottleneck raises the risk of food inflation and other inflation. Of course, you can learn more as a few good articles about how the Iran War is an economic world war and some of the numbers involved. How about this, the three trillion dollar private credit crisis nobody is talking about except the Patriot Power Hour. We've reported on that three weeks straight. Private credit crisis. Under Federal Services Falter, we're seeing some big delays and perhaps total shutdowns cascading through the airport system TSA going unpaid. Three hundred TSA agents quit as Deputy Deputy Administrator says, the agency may shut down airports, particularly smaller ones under Federal Services. Falter, get to the airport early, folks, if you're traveling anytime soon. Otherwise, economically, the markets and everything else fairly calm and uh oh yeah. The Federal Reserve, they're going to keep rates. Well, they're not cutting rates. I'll tell you that they're not cutting rates with everything going on. But now did fall to a fresh twenty twenty six low. But again, that's only eight percent lower than it's all time high. So let's move on to the final column. How about this vaccination effects exposed Fifty six percent of Americans now suspect COVID nineteen vaccines caused mass death fifty six percent. New study shows wireless radiation limits are at least two hundred times too high to protect against cancer. That's a couple orders of magnitude not good. Unprecedented March heat wave coming across the Southwest, challenging heat here in the middle of March. In fact, this is the season finale and spring is just a couple of days away, so already getting some heavy heat in the Southwest. I know, we got a couple listeners out there ken you. A flood death toll rises to seventy one as forecasters worn of renewed heavy rainfall. Little known virus with no vaccines spreading in California, New Jersey and the Great Lakes region. I mean, that's pretty much all of America. Earth directed CME triggers G two geomagnetic storm watch Aurora possible. These are topical, low level, well not the vaccination effects and electromagnetic field effects that we were talking about. Those were very high level, but the most recent few were topical news and more topical news. There was a confirmed daytime meteor so a sonic boom daytime is scene in the daytime heart in multiple states over that Pennsylvania, Ohio area. And that is the news blitz for today, March eighteenth, twenty twenty six. Such as wide swath. Let me bring in future Dan because he's actually standing by pature Dan, what do you think? I think that that was a great heat map dashboard blitz grig by you, I'll standing. I appreciate it, man, I had to be succinct. There's so much I wanted to say about each one, but I just had to get through it. So I appreciate that. Just bringing the reality worldwide dangers homeland, dangers to the United States of America. It's like you can't get that perspective in one place other than Patriot Power Hour. So that was a masterful rendition of tonight's heat map Dashboard. March eighteenth, twenty twenty six, on episode three forty one, Where do you want to begin? What? What? What are you forced to talk about next? Now that you went through that entire set of things happening all within the span of the past six days. Pretty incredible. I'm going to pivot away from Iran for now and go directly to fifty six percent of Americans suspect COVID nineteen vaccines cause mass death. That is a huge number. Let's just talk about the facts though, of this survey. Rasmus Musin, I can never say that that particular survey everybody knows who they are though, of one thousand and fifty eight likely US voters, and this was conducted September of last year, so I would only think it'd be stronger now. But anyway, fifty six percent believe side effects from COVID nineteen have likely caused a significant number of unexplained deaths. One third say it's very very likely. There is one third that fully dismissed the idea. I know it's just one survey and it's a plus or minus three percent margin of error. But anything near fifty percent is good news because people are waking up bad news because it means it actually did happen. THEMN bad news that people might be afraid of taking vaccines for future diseases that really do need them. Oh yeah, that is super hard to trust them in the first place. And then you have some confirmed issues. Let's just say that, and oh not good. I all of the way. I look at almost every institution out there has been discredited big time. Do we throw the baby out with the bathwater or do we rebuild? I hope we can rebuild, but man, it's tough to trust anything out there, whether it's the banksters, big agra, big oil, and now you know, big armah. Every headline you read, every indicator that's hot right now. You know, people have opinions, but there's also facts. And what this fifty six percent number means to me is, you know, although it took six years, the truth wants to be free. The truth will be known. People will reconcile themselves to reality, to the truth. The amazing part about it is in this day and age, how long it takes six years to get there when I think previous generations probably would have arrived at it within I don't know. It depends on the topic. There's many, many topics that took decades for people to actually get to the truth. So hard to say, but we're here on pitch of power or talk about these things early often and have our opinion out there head of the curve. And we talked about you know, two stage bioattack, a weapon attack out of China and the pharma and here we go. I think I think most people are ready to believe it. And that's exactly what Patriot Bauer Hour is all about. You just took the words right out of my mouth. There. We're here to evaluate and sometimes we're right, sometimes we're wrong, but we want to explore and not just take the propaganda. I think part going back to why it took so long, but also, hey did it take that long? At least it's coming out. Some things could have never come out in the past or so it's uh, everything's more intense now. There's a lot more noise than ever before, but there's also more signal than ever before. But like if you can't distinguish that, you have no hope, that's the thing. Well, a lot of it is a matter of winning elections, right, So every two years, every four years, you know, completely depends on the today, the party in power, on what information is going to get released. And you know, in this day and age, this week, there's a lot of Trump opponents that see him as you know, having made mistakes. This is this is the waterloo for Donald Trump with what's happened in Iran. Right, But look across the heat map dashboard on the more shoes to drop, right, you know, the D and I director Gabbard in Congress getting asked why was she at the Fulton County, Georgia FBI raid of ballots from twenty twenty, So many other shoes to drop, Epstein, shoes to drop half of that purported. You know, body of evidence hasn't been released yet. The strings that Trump can pull from the position that he has is it's historical. But had Harris one, none of that would be happening, right, Elections matter a lot. These most recent ones certainly have. I'll give you that absolutely, all right, you want to just jump into Iran. We've got a lot of news there. Yeah, I know you're pissed. You're about ready to jump off the Trump chainin so air it out, air it out. What's the problem. I feel like the longer it goes, it's gonna just blow everything out of the water that's been gained. So I got a short list of I didn't even really put that much into this. However, I'm always putting thought into this. So here's my best list right off the top of the head. A bunch of items that may get pushed to the back burner or even we start to lose traction on if everything's focused on Iran. Here we go the border and cleaning up the border. But more importantly, what happened to the ice raids? Are they even doing that anymore? Are we you know, what are we doing? The clean up illegals and border What are we doing about election integrity, which goes hand in hand. Really, those are the same thing. Cost of livings already being blown out of the water. The FED can't cut rates no way. Now. If all this results in the next month, it won't be that much damage. But every day oil is at one hundred or plus is bad. Cleaning out the swamp. I don't know how much bureaucracy reform, how much swamp cleaning is there gonna be with all this going on the debt, there's no way we're gonna pay down on the debt at this, With this banksters actually getting in trouble for all types of different fraud and COVID accountability at least the people. We the people, the Court of public opinions holding them accountable. But yeah, that ain't gonna happen. I don't know the censorship of law air like what happened to Biden administration for all the robo signing and bs like we should I don't know. I guess I never expected full justice to be served on a lot of this, and a lot of it's still shoot a drop, like you said, but man like if Iran become does become a quagmire that you can't extract yourself out of. All this other stuff's gonna get thrown to the wayside at you know, at best it'll just get paused, which is good. Hey, we've made a lot of progress in the last year, last ten years, but a lot of shit might start getting rolled back. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah, yeah, what else. You gotta be pissed about something else. I didn't think that this attack on Iran is necessary unless there's information I don't know about that they really were gonna put a suitcase nuked tele Aviv or New York or something crazy like that. But I did not think this was necessary. If they had done a nine to eleven type of thing and it was actually legit even and I would have been like, I don't know, man, like let's hit their military sites. But I don't know. So you just blow up the freaking Middle East. It's gonna be such a cluster over there and so many fractures spiraling out into the I mean, this is like the perfect example of how a world war starts. So not like, why did we do this? I don't know. Maybe Trump has a really good reason why he struck first, and I'll never be privy to that. I don't know. I did not. I wasn't even happy last summer. I was pissed. You probably remember. But this is like ten steps further. So that's I'm just like, may I don't know, like, did we really need to go get in a fight? We could beat him up, but this is I don't know if it's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, his opponents certainly want us to believe that. So I know you got other thoughts. I want to hear if you he had some in the back channel in particulation. Yeah, yeah, running down the list again. I want to respond point by point. I want to bring in possibly an alternative view. Although I don't entirely disagree with what you're saying. I'll say this with the thought that there's only so much time in the day, only so many press conferences, only so much bandwidth and knowledge through putting all that shit. So there has to be it has to give a little bit. So ready, start with election integrity. Election integrity, that should be like the number one thing. It's not gonna be the number one thing anymore. Well, they're they're going through the process in the center right now for the Save America Act. And one could argue that the Iran war distracts Trump's opponents and prevents the kind of intense pressure that might defeat the attempt to pass the Save America Act. And ultimately, you know, if the Republicans said the you know, the spine to you know, force the Democrats to fill a buster, make them stand, make them stand and talk right just after they run out of people that speak, then it has to go to you know, a normal vote, right you pass cloture, So it's entirely possible to pass this could take weeks. Make Corey Booker stand up for ever twenty five hours or make you know, Chuck Sumer stand out there for eighteen hours, and all the rest of them they can. That's going on right now. They you know, Torry's out on that one. Whether Thoon, the Senate majority leader for the Republicans, can make it happen. But it's in process. So you think it might be easier to fix up election integrity if there's everything's going on in Iran. Past that act, past that act. It could be easier if you know, if Trump's over here on one side doing things that because what he does to you know, at least thirty percent of the country, hardcore Democrat opponents the constituencies. Is it's like, you know, we do have a generational thing going on on Patriot Power Hour. I'm the gen and you're the millennial. So I occasionally I got to stop and ask questions like did you ever play pinball, like at an arcade, like the real thing pinball? Yeah? For sure, for sure. And if you if you're trying to cheat on it, he tilted it. You know, it goes on till. Yeah, that's what until it really means exactly if people probably don't know that are young people. And that's what Trump does to that block at will at will. It's like it's like it's like the bugs bone Bunny against the Tasmanian Devil or Daffy Duck or elm or budd porky pig. He just messing with him. And that might be a strategy to you know, cover for you know, and just force ram that thing through the Senate. Well, let's say this, if that's a secondary or tertiary effect that was not part of the calculus of starting bomb in a country, I would be like, Okay, that's a good externality, but. Well, Democrats want to believe it's wagged the dog. That's absolutely a distraction from other things, right. And I'm not saying it's not. I'm not saying it is. It's hard to agree with Democrats, but I'm almost like it's a distraction of other things to the negative for what I want to get done. Okay, continue on the list. Then what what? What else did you listen from us a minute ago? Doge and swamp clean up? I think dog just cut as far as it can go and without bigger majorities in both the House and Senate. This is reality. This is this is the most it can be done without changing the law. Okay, they they gotta win elections. They gotta win elections, get bigger majority. I'm not even sure that a that a that a four or five steep majority in the House has actually ever ruled this effectively before. Right, It's a tiny margin to you on any single vote you can lose, like the Big Beautiful Bill and some of these other laws that have come through. It's actually sort of amazing that Johnson got him through. Right, and Trump right now is saying that he's not signing another law until the Save Actors passed Save America Act. So you know, this is all I'm actually witnessing, you know, a bi cameral legislature and an executive party doing things the way it was designed to be done. Perfect segue. So the question is will and we'll get back to my list. But the almost the heart of it that touches on almost all these is will this cause fissures in that very tiny majority where shit can't get through anymore because just enough of people are pissed off about Iran war that they just don't go along with it anymore. And now all of a sudden, that slim and slim you know, margin goes the other way, and now everything's screwed. I would tend to think the opposite, because there's just so many critical issues that are facing everyone that the you know, there's there's a swing vote in you know, both parties in the House somewhere, you know, ten to fifteen on either side. Right, the Democrats are pretty lockstep, but it depends on the issue. Right, there's room to get things done and the sense it is a different matter. Right, they got they got the they got the rules with the with the cloture, got to have sixty to vote to agree to have a vote, right unless you filibuster the way through it. But yeah, I don't know. I don't think. I don't think the Iran war is gonna collapse anything, change anything. It's it's a some's a side show. And part of the reason why is again the reason why on future danger there's no indicate that says war with Iran starts as a dangerous thing, because it's not. And something else you mentioned earlier. You know it could be stopped at any time. It's an area of bombardment, right, it's it's it's only half a war really, so it's the it's the half of the war that you could shut off with an order. When you know infantry are engaged in urban reigned. The president doesn't say, all right, stop it now, and no, no, no, they're they're in, they're committed. That that that's total war. We Trump knows he doesn't have to deal with that. He's not he's not gonna put himself in that position. Quagmire is the wrong word to use. You can't get quagmired in an air war when you've already you know, obliterated the opponent's air force and navy, right, and and and the other country you're fighting with is wiping out the whoever gets appointed next to be in the leadership. I mean, I'm kind of wondering how many more weeks can the Mullah regime receive that kind of destruction. It can't be endless. I feel like this is my over under point right here, where I was like, all right, I wasn't super stoked about it. But if we got it done in two three weeks and stopped, fine, not fan but whatever. But if it goes longer than that, but especially and here's where it will become quag war. If they do put marines on the straight of horror moves or more, there's gonna be IEDs and little spider holes and suicide bombers and we're gonna start having one or two or five troops killed today and it's just gonna be messed up. So hopefully it doesn't take that route, but it seems like it's I don't know, that is not a non zero possibility at this point for sure. Yeah, Trump thought the Vietnam War, Vietnam War was stupid war to fight. He thought the ground invasion Iraq was a stuper war to fight. He doesn't fight war like that, right, He's not gonna get the results that you get if you occupy Iran and forcibly, you know, exchange the government for something else. But yeah, I'm not sure that's ever gonna work in the Middle East. So you know, it's an aerial bombardment. He can call it off to clare victory, walk away, and a week later we're we will be barely talking about. It if that happens in the next few weeks. But there's like a criticality to it, especially with oil infrastructure. So this comes to the next point. Iranian but other southern Saudis are in the Katari's and all of them are getting a lot of infrastructure blown up, not all of it by any means, but there's a pretty much a blockade as well. So currently oil price not above one hundred. But if this remains this way for much longer, could it be? Probably will so cost of living and energy dominance, and that goes hand in hand with debt. I think if it's temporary, one thing, but if this drags on for months, I could be nasty. Yeah, and nasty for who Maybe by then the Chinese have no strategic petroleum reserve, which might be the point in the totality, right, So you know, oil industry in the United States might come out the winner in a big way. Right. So this is an economic world war for sure, and Trump's playing for keeps. I think most of the Iran Iran operation is messaging to our two peer adversaries, the country that inherited the superpower status of the Soviet Union and everything that came with that, which is Russia and China, and neither of them are benefiting from this war and very arguably, you know, China's gonna get atomically crushed by it. That is very true. Well, I want to talk more about that actually in a second or two. Law air cleanup, censorship, speech and all that. You know. I don't know if I can defend that as much, but I just feel like for every press conference that's about Iran, there's not one about one of these other topics. Like there's only so much attension to go around. Yeah, well this time it's a lot of time. Yeah, I admit in the last three weeks it hasn't been a lot of that. But you know, twenty twenty six, it's clearly a different agenda. Right, First, Venezuela next Iran. They're going to circle back to Cuba. And Mexico is well aware at any time there might be strikes there and that could change the government in Mexico too, by the way. And Ecuador, massive war going on, seventy five thousand Ecuador and troops backed by US Seventh Group Green Bereat trainers and military advisors. I mean, they're doing strikes in Columbia right now, right and then in the in the Far East, you know, uh, the rocketman launching launching cruise missiles. When when does Trump turn back around and make a spectacle of you know, visiting the dictator in North Korea and and you know, maybe shoving some sharp elbows his way. Firewood Forge in the chat was happening, Firewood Forge, he says, let's see here, his dad's flying today. Haven't heard how it went yet. With respect to the TSA staffing shortages, World Health Organization preparing for potential nuclear emergency at the conflict involving Iran continues to escalate. Well anything in the w HS says, I won't believe. However, how about that feature, Dan, Let's pivot real quick. You know, do you think the threat of nuclear war is a lot lower than it was a month ago. More or no change. No, it's steady. I mean for the countries that mutually assured destruction, this doesn't change it. I mean, if if Ukraine didn't change that, between US and the Russians, obviously this can't. We're not None of this is happening close enough to make the generals in China, you know, start talking about using nukes. You know, there's things that can be done. Remember when the Ukrainians did the drone strike hundreds of miles inside of Russia and hit strategic Russian bombers. That was dangerous because because it could it could unsettle their triad. Right now, are you talking about the dangers of nuke of Israel using nukes on Iran or other countries that are nuclear using nukes? I mean, I'm not sure how dangerous that is if they're not using them against US. I guess any or all arcular exchanges by any country in the entire world, just the how did we get any closer to midnight at all? Or have we gone backwards from midnight because Iran has been neutralized? Or I reject the paradigm with all due respect I'll tell you why is you know, either either we're engaged in through a nuclear war with with someone who could you know, obliterate us, or what it's dangerous because it's an environmental and humanitarian disaster somewhere else in the world. Right, imagine if India and Pakistan went at it, that would be hundreds of millions of people killed within half power. But besides, besides the fallout, the actual environmental devastation that came from it, it would be a terrible war between them, right, not us? So differentiate that some of it is going to be. You know, it's it's not really dangerous. It's just a tragedy on one hand, But on the other hand, it's it's we're fighting somebody and that's war, and that's dangerous because anywhere you live in the United States could get struck. Right. Yeah, Well, if if pac said, idiot, go after each other, I don't see how that could possibly be contained. But I don't work for the Rand Corporation or some other thing. Take but why would anybody else step into that? Why would why would it? There's no alliance. VACCA is not a live to anybody that has to back them up. India isn't either. China want to start to get involved at all. China would be very worried because you know, India has nukes and China has nukes their their neighbors. To the east, exactly the radio. I think China would as as as China's China's record of having client states, you know, Venezuela, Pakistan, to some degree, Iran that they're not faring well. They don't. They don't exactly look like the same kind of superpower we are in that respect right now. They certainly cannot have an empire spanning the world like the English, the Dutch, the French in now America. They don't have that in their repertoire that you know, as a culture. They're good at pretty good things. But I guess you're right, they're not very good at controlling puppet states and having empires worldwide, which I'll take that. I guess our projection right, it's projection power. And they still don't have the navy. They can get, you know, way out there and challenge the US navy, but even before we have our allied navies join us, right, so you know, it's this is actually what what Trump's doing in Iran could be very destabilizing to the g regime. And well, so when I hear that, I think bad. But maybe that could be a good thing, maybe to be a positive revolution. But when I hear destabilization of tyrannical regime, I just imagine something worse coming. Where were you and Gorbachev stepped down? I could see that happening. I'd like to see the Cold War completely end, with North Korea, Cuba, China, all that declared continuing Marxist London estates going to that dust in a history that you know, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Europeans. Did you know when I was a young. Man, most stepires don't collapse that way or other. But maybe that would be nice. That's the ideal. That's exactly the way communism should collapse. Shout a lot, yeah. Or more crazy radicals get involved take over. I'm wondering China, what kind of censorship is there? Obviously they're going to portray us as losing the war, just like mainstream media here is, you know, making it sound like right now the war spirally out of control. Just just go to the New Drudge and just check the the to spin on the news, right That's what they have to tell their people in China. But what happens in three weeks if the Mula regime falls, then what do they tell their people? Like as I mentioned earlier, you know, eventually the truth will have its impact and you know, loss of you know, face, loss of respect, loss of lot. You know, I'm not sure China would be you know, would replace its regime, just like Iran. I don't think the or Venezuela, whatever follows in Venezuela, they might not be the most democratic societies. They got a long ways to go. But you know, she himself, his tenure as leading China, it could be drawn into doubt and he could be forced out of power there. Yeah, some sort of force out might be good. Some sort of assassination maybe not as peaceful. I don't know, they'll find out soon. On the patriot power are Actually the topic I want to hit on with regard to China was can you explain to the oil situation shade of horror moves and why other reasons? Maybe China's on the bad end of this and not really really hurting them. Why why is this bad for them? Because we make our we produce our own oil Europe has its own sources too, you know, North Sea, and China gets it from Russia or the Middle East pretty much, and both of those are problematic. This Chinese economy, like they're gonna have to lie big time about their growth numbers because this is this. It may bee every day it hurts us to some degree. Oil over one hundred dollars a barrel. It's gonna cause wealth destruction in our economy. It's gonna happen. Things are not gonna be bought and sold because of high fuel prices. That's a fact. But you know, for every bit of damage to us, what is the multiplier on the Chinese economy right now? I wish I knew those numbers. I would be able to give much more informed opinion. If I agree or not with this, however, that's fine. Just have to take it what I look at. I don't think one hundred dollars oil is that bad. It's not gonna hurt us that bad. But if it goes one hundred and twenty hundred and forty hundred and sixty with no you know, stopping, that'd be different. We're not seeing signs of that now, but again we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. I'm kind of over talking about Iran right now. We got some of the other things to talk about. Running out of time, But do you have any other points you wanted to make or questions? Well, do we hit everything on your list? You're concerned your right peaks well, and actually there's one more the death of innocent people. We got away that. And also Israel is just going ham just blowing the shit out of everybody all around the place now, so a lot of innocent's being killed. Just want to point that out. I'm not sure that's true. I think damage some of the some of the. Yeah, targeting mistakes, that's true. But you know, one of the first major targeting mistake of the war was a building that had X one hundred number of schoolgirls in it. But that building previously was inside of the Revolt Guard's base, and they actually rebuilt the walls to cut it out so it was outside the base. And then somehow found families that would you know, or force families to put all the girls in the school, creating a gigantic risk that exactly what happened happened, right, But there's big like few rules for the next Mullah up at the plate getting wiped out. Hundreds of people outside those are the regime supporters that you know, if this was nineteen forty five, that's Dresden, that's Tokyo, that's all those people die because they're supporting a regime and we absolutely positively have to put an end of the bloodshed. I'm not saying that, you know, that's lawful war and we should be bombing civilians, but we're not. No one's targeting those giant crowds of regime supporters. Oh yes, definitely not Dresden or Tokyo or anything like that. Firebombing. So good point, and they are very precise with it. But there's you know, there's a lot of people getting messed up that theyn't deserve it. Feel bad for me. If you use that hippie argument for any war, you'd never be able to go to war with a tyranny. So I'm not sure. I'm not sure I accept it. Well, there's a lot of variables to be but that can't be left out. So I just had to throw that in there. All right, that was about it. Let's see what else, man. We got so much more, and I got to cut out of here in fifteen to twenty minutes. I know, it's a season finale. Usually would do like two hours, but I'm up against it. Let's just say that I'm up against it. That's okay. Any topics you really wanted to hit, h we absolutely had to hit. I mean, holy cows, this is the first off. This is the most headlines we've had ever or definitely this year, and we got a triage here. We've got to pick a few. No, this is probably top you know, definitely in the top five percent of most that you'll ever see on Future danger. Yeah, you know, there's no limit though they can they can get at it as they're found. Maybe you want to maybe want to circle back on a few of these indicators that i'll actually seem a little bit disconnected from from from the Iran War, like the UH private credit crisis or you know the fall one k UH you know, accounts getting rated that is somewhat separate from the Iran War. I don't think everybody just ran to their following ks because they Iran War started, so maybe they did. I don't know. I mean some of these don't seem you know, contemporary, but somewhat disconnected from geopolitical events. Let's take a look at this four one K in particular, before the pandemic, about two percent of four oh one K holders used a hardship withdrawal every year, so like one out of fifty people used the hardship withdrawal. Usually, you know, there's different qualifications for that. Let's just say in twenty twenty four it went from two percent to four point eight percent, which is really really big increase. But now it went from four point eight to six percent. Six percent four oh one K holders are using hardship withdrawals and that was based off I mean, that was last year, that was with fifty dollars sixty dollars oil, that was with all time high equity markets. Now maybe people are taking some of that money off the top faking the hardship withdrawal, but it's not super easy to do necessarily. Foreclosure or eviction was thirty six percent of the reason they did it, Medical expenses thirty one percent, and tuition and thirteen percent. So that's it's wow. Six percent is quite the growth, three three x more than pre pandemic norms. Don't count out the fact that there's more sophisticated tax strategies that can go up to a Trump IRS and get you know, a lot of that penalty that you pay when you do that, those hardship withdrawals wiped out. There is a little bit of accounting. People wouldn't admit that in the servant Oh for sure. Yeah, the peloties might not be as severe as they were just you know, during the previous president. And there's also people that want to buy houses right rates rates we're coming down for a while, So some of that's going on. Exactly. I can't always trust what they say. They might just be getting the money for any other reason. They might be getting it for drugs. Who knows final quote off this now you know CNBC interview, but I know that this is true. We've reported on it. Nearly half of Americans don't have one thousand dollars in liquid capital, meaning cash or in your bank account that you can get like same day, thousand dollars, one thousand dollars. Almost half Americans don't have a thousand dollars, no emergency fund, he says, even here, no available credit. I don't it. Nearly half of Americans don't even have a thousand dollars open credit line that's even scarier. Yeah, yeah, very very dependent position. There's not a lot of self reliance and getting to that player. No, got to cut the corners. But we've been cutting corners for a while as a society and economy. How many corners else we got, so that vice is squeezing a little bit more. We'll keep taking care of that. Let's take a look at the three trillion dollar private credit crisis. Zoom in here. Blackstone, Oh my gosh, this is the biggest name that's hat that's popped up in this yet in the last week we've been reporting on private credit a little smoke and where there's smoke, there's fire. But Blackstone, one of the most well known of the private credit rated its own balance sheet to cut over three point eight billion in unexpected redemptions. We talked about Blue Owl last week. They froze withdrawls. Think of it as a bank run for rich people. I think that's the right way to say it. We already talked to almost half Americans don't even have one thousand dollars, So it's not those people, but it's the people with you know, five hundred k and in networth hundred or a million, two million, They're like, ah, give me my money back, and these company is like, actually, we're not going to give it all back to you. We can't. Yep. So it comes down to who's directly exposed to this, who's indirectly exposed to this, and what lessons were actually learned from two thousand and eight. You know, people seriously committed to not letting that happen again. And on episode three, p. Forty one, March eighteenth, twenty twenty six, I'm gonna say it again, if there really is a you know, a global financial elite, billionaire class, you know, just just cabal, just just a nefarious, evil rich kind of scenario out there who want nothing more than to see Donald J. Trump fail and mark him as you know, his approach with a failure that you know goes on for centuries, right, like you know kind of what Hitler and Mussolini managed to accomplish for the reputation of fascism. So you know, are they going to try to hang that on him? Well, next year would be the year to do it. They now, they'd love nothing more to blame it on capitalism and free markets too, So yeah, freaking exactly. I can't exactly. Eddie Roosevelt had the Square Deal and had the New Deal, and whoever comes after Trump, if he's swept out a power of after a complete collapse of the capitalist system, whatever's post capitalists at that point, you know it's gonna be the last deal. The last deal not bad, it won't be a good one either. No, absolutely horrible. I did misspeak a little earlier. I said, you know, five hundred k a million, two million networks. Now there's a very wealthy people that are not only have accounts with these private credit but work there and have stock options, so they're not very happy. It's not just you know, this is the five to one percent kind of it's not the zero point zero zero zero one percent cobal that I talk about as much. But some of them are involved or have shares in this as well. But we're looking at stock price drops in the last few years. We have Blue Owl Capital, it's lost sixty one percent per cent of its value. Well known Blackstone we talked about down forty three percent. Kk R, which is a huge, huge private equity down forty four percent. Carlisle Group. I believe the Bush families all deep in that or at least they were down twenty four percent, so not that bad, but still not great. Uh. Anyway, wealthy people are definitely taking on the chin here. They're not gonna go hungry. But that's kind that's a little you know, will they get a bailout or what are they going to do about this? That's what I'll be looking at. If they don't bail this out, that might be a sign that they can't bail them out. How about that? I can keep Trump I'm saying that no one's getting bailouts in a heartbeat. Well, we'll find out. Bailout or bail in. We've talked about that. But I'd like Trump to take a hard line like that against the banksters. I'm not. I don't know. We'll see. Oh oh we missed another uh iran more banks to break or gripe which was put on the list about you know, what happened to the ice operations, what happened to the deportations? And I'm I'm thinking, you know, think about all the fronts that his opponents, the coalition that represents his opponents, whoever you know is inside of that. That just the vectors of attack that he has on them what we saw in January Minnesota. Just you know, I think what's happening is, you know, obviously the DHS secretary is going to turn over, and they got to play games with Democrats to get funding for the rest of DHS. And and and you know Bovino, the Border commander who was up there, he's he's out finally, you know, he's he's going to retire. But just just bringing bringing ICE back to a center point where you know, perhaps a lot more internal training and more planning, a lot of lessons learned, and just searched back at it, probably after the midterms. Looking through the news blitz, I'm not gonna lie. Head is spinning. There's something I want to hit on. So a little time. How about this new study shows wireless radiation limits two hundred times two hundred times too high. So the limits pretty much like, hey, you can get X amount of radiation from your phone, but really it should be X divided by two hundred or that Wi. Fi that you're pathing in twenty four seven, five, Hey, I tell you my life history of the smartphones. Do it. It's pretty quick, right, So in two thousand and two I bought a Sprint trioh three hundred. This is before BlackBerry, long before iPhone. It was the first combination of a PDA personal digital assistant and a cell phone. And it was a flip phone, and it was awesome black and white, but it was awesome to have loved it, used it constantly. I was like the only person that I knew that had one. And then within years that all changed. And as these technologies evolved, I've honestly just become less and less and less inclined to want to use my phone. To me, it's a tool. I'll use it or I have to. But if I'm anywhere near like a like a desktop computer, forget it. I'm not using a phone. I don't watch anything on it. Just if I have any choice to be anywhere else. You know, I'm gen X right these I'm an immigrant to this technology. I'm not a native, and I don't have to have it doesn't go anywhere near my bedroom. I never it anywhere or I'm trying to relax, and people know me know that, you know you're gonna have to You're gonna have to reach me on my landline if you want me at home, because I'm not I'm not gonna be near that phone unless I need it. So that's that's kind of my evolution. Went from loving it greatest earliest adopter in two thousand and two. You know, after this podcast, I'm gonna probably put this phone down and barely look at it again tonight. Nice. That's a full evolution. I would say I did not have these same extremes, but I went from playing games on it all the time and watching it all on things on it to sit somewhat similar to you, where I'll never watch a video on it. I'll never text message if I could type or talk to someone or voice chat. I you know, I'm sick of looking at screens generally, but I have to, but definitely on a little screen. The desktop functionality is always ten times better than any app, absolutely, so I get what you. Mean, but I will. Unfortunately, I'm still tied to it too much for text messages like the SMS with your cell phone number that you can't really propagate. That's that's the anchor that holds it to me. Damn it. I like Signal. I hope it continues to be free and available because. Yes, but like my girlfriends and all the others, they don't use signal anyway, I get it. The I've been telling people for probably as long as you and a lot of people listening, like minimum ten years, maybe fifteen years, like don't put the radiation on you, like if you're watching TV, like don't just put it on your lap? Are you crazy? And long ago people thought I was a ten full of hat literally almost right, because we're talking about that. But now it's common information, more common than the even the vaccine stuff. More people believe it, I would think, and hope. There's a lot to say about how the state of California is governed. That's negative. But in the fine bind fine print of every device you know that you get, they have to state that California law has you know, mandated that you know, people know that you know. I think I think the standard in California is that should never have that phone next to you when you're sleeping, you know, within arm's reach. I don't even bring it to that level of my house, like and and the Wi Fi. I hardwire as much as I can in my home so that you know, I can minimize the Wi Fi because I don't know, you know a little bit for a short period of time is probably absolutely harmless. But when these technologies rolled out, they had no idea what the effect would be at very low levels for decades. And the distance is such an important part. If your Wi Fi routers seventy feet from your bedroom, probably not end of the world, but if it's literally three feet from your nightstand because for some reason your computer and Internet are in the corner of your bedroom or something, that's like, no, do not do that. So the future danger indicator that you know, this, this topic that we're talking about is falling under tonight is electromagnetic field effects exposed. And almost every indicator on future danger it's pretty much, you know, straightforward about the issue that it's about the danger that it represents. And there's there's I guess there's a few that are general purpose, right any many, many, many types of bad news can fall under them. I'm wondering if electronic fields being exposed, would it be dangerous if put weapons systems that have been developed for decades, rare, exotic, exquisite ones that that that harness you know, magnetism in ways that no one, no one right now and you know, an unclassified environment is even aware of, you know, weapons systems that you might be, you know, part of an information operation on television shows like Skin and Walker Ranch which wants to lead you to believe that's something extraterrestrial, but may very well be something that we built right and is able to hover and stare across Iran all their cities listening, watching just there invisible constant is r. It would go a long way to explain how the entire Russian Army was prevented from invading a significantly weaker Ukraine with that kind of exposure of electrical magnetic fields, meaning our ability to manipulate them. Would that be dangerous to society in your mind. If exposed, if exposed as being real, this sort of secret, hidden technology that has been developed on a side parallel track for the last fifty to eighty years. Yeah, I still want it to happen, but it'd be a little destabilizing and dangerous, I guess, but you know, not that bad unless you know, I'm trying to think of the worst case scenario. But maybe that would shock some people straight. Yeah, we create a lot of people that's saying that, you know, something like that was suppressed for decades, that we had to use the oil or something, you know, but what if it was the weapon system that are are enemies knew existed and they didn't dare say anything and we didn't say anything, and it's kept the peace right right, Maybe some of that's getting you know, maybe maybe it's not been in place and ready to use until recently. Remember the drones of New Jersey in the month of December, one month after Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump. Remember that in New Jersey. Yep, oh, I literally traveled to New Jersey during like during the whole stupid thing. I didn't see anything, but it was, yes, I remember. So we talk about deep state, and it's easy to be simplistic and think that deep state is you know, all unilaterally one you know, block of people, and by god, since the Clinton administration and definitely during the Obama administration, those people did as much as they could to filt the deep state to their favor without a doubt, it's obvious, but it can't be one hundred percent about these things. Did someone order up some very public testing of some extremely secret technology that you know, I'm talking about orbs, I'm talking about UAPs, I'm talking about energy or crafts that can be up in the atmosphere and don't behave like airplanes, right. I tend to believe that the you know, the most likely explanation for this, it's got nothing to do with extra tashtial off world. Now. I think we got these weapons systems, and if you think about the Manhattan Project and what we built during World War Two entirely secretly and then deployed, think about the how long that took, right and think about how many years it's been since then. Some of the other super weapons that are now public, are you know some you know, like our aircraft that can evade radar, stealth stealth aircraft. It's got to be other stuff. I think. I think we're about to have it revealed. I think Trump's ready to do it. I think he's wielding weapons that you know, every all of his opponents who knew about them, we're desperately afraid that he would not wield them. And there's still secret right now. They might not be by the end of this year. From the back channel. U A P's are real. We fly them as that that's what you're referring to. Essentially, That's why that's my work in theory. Right now, there's there's videos over. I ran of stuff going on that It's not explosions, it's different. There's there's Iranian air defenses firing at lights in the sky and doing nothing to them. And I matched that up with just the you know, from my from my from Ukraine, like just the the absolute blood letting on the Russian army that that that the Ukrainians were able to do. It's because they know where every Russian soldier is all the time, every heartbeat, every pulse, that's a Russian invader. We know where they are. And I'm pretty sure the Iranian regime is being subjected to that too. And what did it take twenty minutes for this to work in Venezuela? Right, Oh, it's a great point. And some sort of detection of electron electrons or some sort of heartbeat infrared. I mean even just simple advanced satellite would take care of half of this. But if you start throwing in advanced detection sensors, you know, using different wavelengths, blah blah blah, we're really at star Trek level. But I believe that we probably are with at some point. I also wonder about super miniature drones that are just the size of mosquitoes or a very very small bird, humming bird that has sensors way beyond anything so somewhere. Yeah, we could speculate forever. But the what they can know about us at any time, I mean, there's nowhere to hide. That's dangerous, I guess, But I pretty much presume everything I see is recorded at all times, for better or worse. Anyway, we think about the first two Adam bombs extremely expensive to make, right, a long time to you know, mass produce nuclear weapons, right, you know, whatever, whatever we got If this is true, you know, one of the reasons to keep it absolutely as secret as possible is we don't have that many of them. But how many? How many would you need? One for each major city and Iran just park it over the top and listen and watch everything constantly for targeting purposes. How in the world have we done seven thousand strikes in this amount of time, right? You know, you would think that the collateral damage, the loss of innocent life, would be massive if we hadn't targeted it. But every single day somebody else in the Iran regime is getting announced and admitted but had been killed. How are we finding him? It was twenty years ago was two thousand and six, and they could put a tomahawk through a window in like what ninety six or eighty six, I don't even know, so it's definitely new levels of stuff. I checked on the silver content of a tomahawk. Okay, what number did you hear? I heard something that I knew was like super inflated, but I believe I saw the real number was like eighty or one hundred ounces of silver. I thought, I asked, I asked the AI to search, and it doesn't know anything that it I mean, if a human author didn't come up with it, it can't spit it back at you. It's a parrot, right right. And it told me that someone was claiming five hundred ounces. Yeah, and that some actual you know, aerospace engineer type avionic kind of experts took a look at it, and you know, they just guessed, you know, ten to twenty ounces. Phil, it's a lot of silver. I remember, like I do remember, like the four or five six hundred ounces are like no, no, no, no no no. But again, twenty ounces by itself is a lot, but it could be more good, who knows, But twenty ounces that will never ever, ever, ever be recouped. There's no recycling or selling your grandma's silver if it gets blown into a bajillion of fragments, So every every ounce counts, right. Well, don't you know technology certain number of centuries from now might be able to take adamized metal. They're gonna be scouring all of our freaking dumps landfills. Will be so much gold and silver on the old circuit boards from the seventies, eighties nine, these two thousands buried. But also they'll just be getting some asteroids and then we really want silver will be like five cents an ounce because they'll have an asteroid parked in near Earth orbit. Okay, maybe not in the next maybe next century, not this century. So how much would you agree with this idea that you know, it was all fun and games with bitcoin, gold, silver at least in this early half of this year or early early part of this year, until the Iran War. And then then you know the major money players that could speculate in gold, bitcoin and silver, you know now now it's it's now they got to pay attention to the price of oil and all their big trades. Would that explain why those three assets are you know falling off of their highs during this war? Why does it? Why don't they spight if they are you know, a flight to safety, a flight out of fiod and and and and if you are inclined to believe that US fighting Iran is the you know, bringing about the next world war, I'm not sure at all that that's true, but people do believe that. And why why aren't those asset spiking in price? Well, fed's not gonna lower rates, So a lot of it is because they thought the FED was gonna lower rates. That's part of it. Silver specifically had all types of brakes put on it. Six eight weeks ago we reported on it, like margin trading and all types of shut you know, stopped trading and raised requirements and pretty much did everything they could to slow the price. So that was part of it. But even today gold did finally drop below five thousand, pretty solid drop today. I honestly don't care that much. Well gold, silver and bitcoin aer priced and US dollars. I just want the real thing because when stuff hits the fan, I don't care. What all I care is how many ounces and how many big one I have. I won't care if it's what is but it's valued in when there's a bank hall day and no one can get to their ATM. But I got my stuff. That's my value. Yep, yep. It makes a lot of sense. I think I'm gonna be buying some gold and doing something a little bit special with you on Patriot Power. There's a little teaser nice, we're gonna, We're gonna, we're gonna do something crackical real world in the upcoming season of Patriot Power. Our ben break down, our seasons, our structure, how we do the the equinoxes and the solstices for new listeners. Well, just like the seasons, we take four breaks. Well there's four seasons. We take four breaks around the solstice and the equinox. Spring equinox is coming up, yes, in a couple of days, so we'll be taking our one week break next week and then yeah, in June, June twentieth twenty first around there, and then getting in September and of course December around Christmas and the twenty first or there about. Those are our breaks. So we've been hitting it out the park. Didn't what do we do five episodes in January? And we did I think four episodes in February, and this will be our third episode of March. So we've been kicking ass this season, and well we'll be off next week. However, future Dan, I think if we have a if we have a dashboard like this, next Wednesday or Thursday, might have to just suck it up and come on air, So we reserve right for that. Or if a lot of those go you know to black, you know, they started a good happening now without a doubt, can't get worse. It's bad and as it needs to be to be alarmed, it's it's all breaking down. We can come back together or separately, or we'll patch something together. But yeah, I would take a break if if things cool down and you know, come back in two weeks. This is probably the well we don't have to go labor the point. But I feel like most ends of seasons are not super busy. Except for COVID twenty twenty, we probably did not take a break. I would expect it in the middle of March twenty twenty. We we did two exactly, so I feel like we are at least at the point where we may not take a break next week, like if it continues on this trend, we'll do a show next week. Now it might be like Thursday or Friday or off kilter a little bit, but I don't know. We're still planning to not have a show next week, but just keep it in mind. I'm feeling like we might. So there you go. So we really did twelve episodes in the winter twenty twenty six season, trip power, Are that right there? I'm not sure we've done twelve in a quarter. Yeah, that's a pace that. Yeah, we've never done forty eight in a year by usually it's forty two forty four, so equal or most we've ever done in a season. And I thought every show was probably better than the last, or at least very top tier, like we've been knocking them out. So we'll keep that up for next season as well. I'd rather just have a completely peaceful heat map dashboard next week with five indicators with five headlines and all grade green, you know, grade five green topical. I wish we could have that, but I don't think that there's no way the heat map can cool down that fast in a week, right, No, I. Don't think so either. So we'll play by ear as they say. But another great show in the bag. Three forty one, another great season in the bag. Yes, sir, look forward to the spring premiere maybe sooner. I'm Picture Power Always pleasure to do this podcast radio show with you, Ben. Thank you to our audience for listening. Really appreciate everyone here. Check us out on social media.
