What's going on? Future Dan? I'm Future Dan here with Ben the Breaker of Banksters. Pray for the second episode of Patriot Power Hour in the spring season of twenty twenty six. You've been on the road. You've been You've been places since we last opened up this season. We premiered for this season. So what are you seeing out there? Did it change your perspective on anything? Yeah? I had a trans atlantic flight and some time overseas in the last month, as well as driving fifteen hundred plus miles through kind of the east and central of the country. So I got a good look at USA as well as a little bit overseas. Not that much, but everyone certainly complaining about prices. But there's a lot of traffic on the road and a fair amount of people spending money, so it's no depression that I see. Yeah, what about other sentiments Middle East? Warren and Middle East? What are you hearing? Warren? In the Middle East? Well, overseas, they were pissed because they were getting affected a lot more by scarcity, not just the price increases, but potential rationing. Even I was in the UK and it was really early in it, and right now Ireland's having much worse of it. But I know down in Australia and New Zealand, like it's particularly bad in the Philippines too, So we've talked about NBC guys talked about it here in America. Very grateful we're domestic producers. Is bad, you know, driving around with four plus dollars a gallon that kind of stinks, but it's not that bad compared to maybe some other places. Did you believe the USA export to the oil now I still have a hard time brought in my head. Around, might change, might change, but there's a lot of money to be made out there, and people will pay a high price. So that is you know, oil is relatively free market. And now the extraction and who owns the land and stuff, that's a whole another level. But the global market and commodity price, you know, there's a reason just import and export at the same time. Even though it doesn't make sense kind of mathematically, why would you do that, it actually does. No, it makes perfect sense. What's what's the economic term, the political science term for a economy that's entirely isolated onto itself and autock ory? What's that called? Well, like theoretically, of course it can actually occur, right, I don't know. Just uh, this is my jeopardy question for eight hundred on that one, Alex. There's a word for it, and it's failing the pronunciations failing me right now. But you know it doesn't exist in reality. And California, because of its rules, will import Middle Eastern oil while other oil, you know, departs the East coast to Europe or wherever it may go. So you know that's just you know, the world economy. But it's good to be a net exporter. And it's certainly clear to me that the Domino's Trump intended to have fall were open up the Venezuelan you know, oil market by seizing Maduro, bringing the oil into our into the United States and be in a position to export while Iran's offline. And all the Arab countries really so, even though he's kind of nuzzled up to the other ones, they're getting screwed over to and it goes all the way. Hey, the Saudis are starting to run out of money. I'm sure they got some stashed away, but all of them are hurting. I don't know about Saudi's running out money, man. Relatively. For a few weeks. Man that country, and it has the pipelines that run to the Red Sea, which are you getting even more, they're making money, They're making money. The prices, the prices might make up for the net you know, you know loss and export Wwaito, and you know the other other other guys who don't have pipelines. Yeah, they're probably you know, had enough at this point, where do you see this end game going? Well, as of tonight, there's supposed to be more hopes of the ceasefire. I was really glad that about a week ago and we were off. I was ready to go for an emergency show if there was just called a sustained ground presence, but there wasn't, kind. Of a civilizational destruction. Well that would be even worse. So that would I wouldn't even go on the air. I'd probably just go to a bucker. We didn't have a chance to weigh in on on what President said that night on on Easter. Right, that was a few days after our most recent show and about ten plus days ago. So how did you take that when he wrote that? What did you think he meant? Like, best case scenario was just going to take out the the salination plants and power plants, the bridges, and you know, it'd be a humanitarian nightmare. You know. Worst case scenario is going to drop some neutron bombs on the coast and maybe even just I wouldn't think on some cities. I mean, hopefully it's just bluster. But what I mean, that's the two extremes. So let's focus on the word civilization. Like when he wrote that, what do you think he had in mind all the Iranian people themselves? I don't think so. Not killing all the people, but knocking them into the stone age. But all the civilian infrastructure, not just a military which it's mostly been limited to him. Definitely, the energy, any and all energy, and you know, he talked about desalination plants and bridge bridges, which would really put have I would kill a lot of people, a lot of civilians that way. I would suggest to a fellow patriot that your definitions are being driven by the president's opponent. And that is a purely cold military logic point of view. Everything that he threatened to strike with dual use for industry, which includes military industry. So so yeah, but all the data centers in the cities of the United States are also military targets in that way. For sure they are. They certainly are, so we have to defend them. Yeah, no, that's for real. But if all that was blown up, and all the interstates and all the major interchanges, like, there'd be a lot of people that died because they couldn't get to the hospital. Just the traffic jams alone would kill dozens of heart attacks and shit. Yeah, well, you know Hiroshima and Nagasaki major industrial sites. That is the way wars fought. He threatened total war. Now I'm not sure that he would evers that are using nuclear weapons or neutron weapons, like why why you don't really even have to would have been just cheap conventional bombs to get that job. But do you think the Iranians blinked? I don't know about that. I mean, so as of right now, there's really no ships going through the Straits still, right, only like twenty a day or zero day here and there. But how many of them are flagged and controlled by globalist billionaires who are anti Trump? They already have their money in Chinese flagships. That doesn't necessarily seem like a real shrewd economic move. I don't know. I mean, one sea mine that I ran put out there that doesn't even have a navy to go pick up anymore. You know, I could destroy a very expensive tank, so right, so how long until that they get over that fear? I don't know. But what I saw happen is that threat. And when Trump is the word civilizational, I think he kind of looks at the whole world from the real estate mogul point of view, right, so bomb and all that dual use infrastructure to him, that's that's close to his definition of civilization. When he looks at different countries, he looks at the infrastructure, clearly judges judges country is based upon that. So you know, but my God, did the rest of the world think he was threatening human holocaust? And the Iranians that they couldn't quite know what he meant by that either, And I think it was what it took to put them into an agreed upon ceasefire long enough for the US Navy to do something that it hasn't done in a long time at scale. And maybe i'd got to the history of the US Navy and World War Two probably did a lot, but certainly, you know, it was never the major activity of the Navy, which is d mining, right, clearing lanes from sea mines. But certainly in our lifetimes the US Navy has not dealt with this, so we don't even have that many mind sweepers, right, So it gave it put a pause on a hot war to immediately go into talks in Pakistan and then come right back out and announce a blockade. And he did it. Trump did it while the Iranian negotiators were in Pakistan. So if anybody fired at the US Navy as they went in to impose the blockade, the plane flying back to Iran probably would have got shot down. That there's a lot of leverages going on, and honestly, with this blockade in effect, I want to hear the art argument from from the opposite point of view, if you've got one, I want to hear it about how this country can can can escape an absolute collapsed economy by the. Mid terms the United States. No, no, no Iran, because our economy is about to collapse. How are they They can't They're gonna, I mean, it's gonna turn into a cesspool of Afghanistan and Iraq style in terms of just warlords and mass death and marauders when the food is scarce, no medical care like you know, Gaza times five thousand, and that's that to civilization, even if they're not using nukes and neutron bombs and or just choking off all the energy, which is like the only way they're gonna make any money, you know. So that's so doing that temporarily to regime change. If it took three months or even a year, that's bad, but okay, in the long term, you could say that would save the people. But like if it goes on for five or ten years. I mean, at some point it's just too much damage has been done almost so I don't know where it's gonna land, but that you know, can't go at this level for years and years and say that you're saving the people. IRGC could hold out that long, you think without the oil revenue. Probably not, but it'd be like warlords and stuff. So then what happens, like Russian China try to control some of the country, We throw in our braze or whoever to try to like control warlords and bribe them and shit with my money. Actually no, with deficits spending, not even my tax money tax day yesterday, by the way. So yeah, it's all an order of magnitude or like how long does it go and how extreme will it go? But you think it can only go from a blockade no oil revenue, IRGC government falls and then the only next step is nake just just without rule of law in Iran. But maybe not as much damage or ability to damage other countries around it. So if you think that's the military victory, what we would to launch shit at its neighbors, And that might be true because they're just such chaos civil war that they can't even like you. No, no, I'm talking about the ideologically driven regime in charge since seventy nine. No, they're gonna fall. I think they will fall. But then like, how what will replace it or anything? And question right, Yeah, I mean your fear is that it could be worse, but I'm not. I'm not sure it can. I'm not sure those people would start to resemble Afghanistan. That'd be That's sort of hard for me to believe. It's the place is so central to the whole world. If it had a if it had self government, right, if it had some modicum of freedom, even if it was as you know, you know, strongman. Controlled as Turkey. But even if it was you know, relatively free like Turkey, it could it could easily grow back pretty fast, especially with the oil. Right, that is a good thing. Humanity could rebuild and grow back pretty damn fast. You know, as long as it's not a total nuclear wasteland or some crazy virus hets released it kills us all. So that you know that is a glass half full. Is that I would love for that all that happened. Maybe it won't be worse. I just don't think it'd be better. It almost hands like the perfect playground for nation states and private military organizations similar to Ukraine, to just field all their new weaponry, blow shit up, try to score rivalries and take over certain areas and just do that for twenty years, Like that's probably what it will be. Well, I can comment a part of that the stocks and munitions that we used, unlike the old days. Right, every single weapon that's fired, every every bomb, right, every missile, every bomb, it's a science experiment, right, it's measured, it's effects are measured. Did it succeed, did it fail? And there's also you know, an imperative. It's clear that that you got to drive down to cost to these musicians, just purely from a war fighting. Point of view. Forget about the debt for a minute, which we never really can. But if money, if money wasn't even an option, you still have to have less expensive stuff so you can have it in higher volumes quicker, right, And I think I think we know the Air Force and the Navy's munitions, they're gonna be all brand new after this, that's. Truely it should be like, you know, way better refined. But you know they call them blocks. I know that they call blocks sometimes or other terms series and stuff like that. Well, meanwhile, China's sitting on all their old stuff that now not only in Venezuela but in Iran, has been proven woefully inferior to what we could throw at it. Whole world. The people that really are looking at what's going on and think about military power balances, we are subordinating China, And forget about Russia. Russia already knew in Ukraine right the ISR we provided the Ukrainians preserve that country. We can see anything anywhere and target anything at any time. It appears to me. They all know it now. So I would just argue that in the long run, in the big picture, you know, zooming out and looking at over courses of centuries, some of this could turn out to be, you know, dramatically stabilizing and making us a lot safer. I hope. So it will be increase. We've seen the military spending the proposals one point five trillion up from nine hundred billion, so it'd be sixty six percent increase. Probably will end up a little lower than that, maybe a fifty percent increase. And that won't be just for one year. It'll be not into perpetuity, but possibly also the higher tariff revenue of the first year is expected to go down. So I put some of these numbers in analyze the last couple months. We're gonna be looking at forty trillion national debt and two trillion dollar deficits being normal and potentially worse. But if interest pretty much, if inflation ticks up as we see here on the news Blitz a little bit, and we'll get into the news Blitz, then interest rates have to go up correspondingly, so all this will start to compound even faster. Hopefully we can outgrow it. I mean, we talk about that all the time on the show. Our real hope is to outgrow this. We'll try to look at some of those numbers, but whole dimension. China's trying to come out and say it got five percent GDP in the middle of this. They're not not in. Reality now, not with the amount of oil they don't have now. Right, So look at what's happened to Europe you taught you open the show talking about in the UK and none too happy because it doesn't make their life any easier. When when everything's this expensive, it's it's you know, you got to look at where the United States ended World War Two to understand why there was Breton Woods, right, and right now you got to look at how US ends it's Iran war, and how distant everybody else will be to us economically. You know, don't don't don't come talk to me about the bricks, right, No one that's bricks right now has been you know, you know, they're they're all you know getting worse. Economy is much faster than us, right, So you know that's important. Math is real, you know, if you know, eventually it matters. But I think by doing this it's it's all relative. It's just how necessary was it if it was to stop a nuke from going off in times square because Iran was going to do that? Okay, it's worth it. Anything less than that, it's gonna be hard for me, but you know, I don't know the details. And again, the big picture signal into China is obviously worth a lot by itself, just on by itself, right. I don't care about that Rubio Graham argument of a threat to the United States, that's bullshit. There's no Iran war starts on the heat map dashboard because when this was generated, when when it was conceived, when it was published, and has been running for over ten years, ten and a half years now. I never thought that war with Iran would be dangerous already. I always knew we'd smoke them, and we did. So that never meant anything to me. What really bothers me is the government's on earth that their people don't vote for so forty seven years of that. I mean I had enough when they took over the embassy when I was eight years old and then they killed two hundred and forty one Marines in Lebanon. Had enough of that regime then, So I don't need that. You know, they're gonna new gusts argument. It doesn't really strike me as very real. But I do have a neighbor and he's from Iran, and I believe you met him once actually in any event, I was just talking to him, right he was born there, that's his country, and I'm like, you know, what do you think He's like, that regime has got to go. It's got to go. It cannot be left existing. It's Now's the time it's got to go. He came to the United States for college in like the years before the Irany Islamic revolution, and he was graduating in seventy nine, he just finished college and he called his mother and his mother's like, don't come back, don't come back. And I think he only saw her one more time when he was allowed to go to the country, when she was dying of cancer. So like the Ranians, I meet the Ranians I know in the United States, the exiles, like they tell me it's got to go. They're they're happy this is happening. It's what is Haig sath dvance and Trump replacing it with what is their stance on it? Right now? They don't care anything anything. The theocracy was as good, it'll be worse from everything I've seen, or at least as bad. You know, you would never sit underneath the tyranny like that and be like, well we better not revolt because it could be worse afterwards. Like going from Hitler to Stalin, it's like, okay, not bad air, pull pot all take him instead, Like what. It's a brutal regime has been for a long time. Well, we definitely documented here we have been, but we knock out the news blitz and we can hit any other other articles about that. But other topics too, What do you say. Yeah, we do have to have a righteous discussion of federal debt because we're patriots and it matters. It's a little bit, you know, it's not the most popular kind of topic. You know that because almost anywhere else you go, you're not gonna hear much about it. But you're gonna hear about it on the Patriot Powerer after this, Yeah, give us. We got bookended black on reds. So the whole time you were away, we've been still caring black on red. But we got new. Stuff hitting the fan indicator tonight. Let's let's let's blitzkrieg ben. All right, let's make this happen. War unconstitutionally waged is the indicator. US Navy blockades Iranian ports. You've said, so future Dan yourself, if this was voted upon, you didn't have a much more favorable opinion. Maybe I would too, but has not been. And of course US Navy is involved in the port and blockading the ports. As we've talked about. Builderberg twenty twenty six, DC hosting the global deep State secret of Builderberg Group just met. I went to visit them back in twenty twelve, actually protested outside of it. I should have gone this year, but it was unable. But you can see who's on that list here on future danger dot com has a list a disturbing trend that continues to score points here in Future Danger under foreign black ops, a tense scientist reported missing. This Dark Project secret pattern continues. I've seen it even on the mainstream news. Now we've been reporting on it for weeks, if not months. White House correspondent asks White House Press Secretary Terry about ten dead or missing US scientists. What's going on there? North FORIA test cruise and anti shit missiles from naval destroyer. Europe accelerates fallback plan in case the United United States or the POTUS pulls out of NATO. China prepping delivery of new air defense systems to Iran. There's a shooting in an LA street takeover. Four were hospitalized, and draft registration selective service, all of that becoming automatic December twenty twenty six. Let's move on economically. Silver gold bitcoin relatively flat in the last couple weeks, oiled down below one hundred dollars at the ninety one or so dollars as it stands this evening. Inflation searches the highest in nearly two years one percent month over month. If that continued at that rate, that would be a twelve percent plus increase year over year. Energy up ten percent just in the month of March. April's seen some increase, so that won't be the end of it, but not extreme. You know, it was still higher after Ukraine invasion for example. So these are not of the highest threat grade, but adds more to the pile for sure. And two articles in the Natural News and Health both pretty important. High rated unvaxxed blood requests grow and American fertility rates hit record low in twenty twenty five. The numbers are in future. Dan, let's start with those two health items first and work our way back. What do you say, Yeah, yeah, it is what it is, right, So. It's triggering the event, but in and of itself, is it a poly crisis? Tonight, Actually, since since we last aired and for the last month, this emapp dashboard is relatively calmer. Oh, it's much calmer than it's been the last six weeks, the last three or four episodes we've done in the last six weeks, and really it peaked for our last show, which was April second, So it's a step back, a little bit of a pullback. Uh. Not a lot of things have been solved outright, but at least some of the pressure, some of the steam is settled down for now. Well, one of the. Heat map indicators that's off the board is, you know, israelis fighting the Iranians directly, so that's currently cease fired. I'd say that's an improvement. That is good, that's certainly good. That's just happened today. I believe. They stopped shooting the same time, well within hours after trumping out to the seasfire, you know, right after the two days after Easter. I think it was two days after he declared the whole EPI fury of failure. I think they were still after uh Lebanon had blown the hell out of them for a little while at bea route for a couple of weeks thereafter, but stopped doing it. That's approxry, right. But that cease fire, which is just as important, you know, that was an important ceasar. Let's just say that, and that also is a place. How about that for now? Even that that won't last, but you know even that it will, it'll last once there's no regime in Iran that will you know, pay for the you know Hezballah, right, Hiszma's not up there like with its own country, generating its own stuff. It's just a nonstate actor residing in Lebanon that you know, constantly attacks Israel. So look at about that Iran. But I want to knock think a couple of these articles out. First, the unvaccinated blood requests unvaccinated blood for transfusions. This is more of a request of patience, and even on Fox News they say there is no evidence that unvaccinated blood presents any safety benefit. And that's according to a journal in transfusion. Whatever. The main report and the main thrust of this is more and more people are refusing standard or unknown vaccinated blood. Would I actually do that? I was a staunch anti COVID JAB person. If I was gonna die otherwise, I would take it. But I don't know. That's tough, tough dilemma. And I wouldn't even believe them if they told me it was unvaxed blood anyway. But that's just me. Yeah, that's true. I've I'm with you one hundred percent on all of that. So that's on Fox News and the actual uh, but I'm more worried about long term US fertility rates females aged fifteen to forty four in the year twenty twenty five. New report that came out just in the last week fifty three bursts per one thousand females between the age of fifteen and forty four, down a percent from twenty twenty four, which is already super low. Twenty three percent drop since the most recent peak in two thousand and seven, So since the financial crisis of two thousand and seven, it's been dropping, drop and drop and dropping down an entire quarter. I mean that is like ten fifteen less babies per one thousand females just since two thousand and seven. That adds up. Yeah, there are economic solutions, right, I mean, at some point they'll be you know, having children will be you know, subsidized, not just tax free, right or right. You know what I'd like to see is, you know, families with children under eighteen just you know, we don't tax those people. Let them raise their children with the funds that they got. That's a great way to start. They don't even need subsidies to stop taxing them. A good start. There's this is multi faceted, and someone who's a male in this cohort, not their female without children. I would say multifaceted. And some of it's economic. Some of it is like cultural slash mental illness, like people are screwed up these days, so that I have a kids because that in other way. And another part is health like some people I feel like less people are able to have them either because they're really obese, really unhealthy. Who knows, maybe even some other conspiracies of why fertility is down. Throw those all in there and through this soup, and it's not surprising that the fertility is down and continues to go down in twenty twenty five. Yeah, we're gonna just set to see, you know, over the years, what got of difference it makes, right, I mean, I mean we're not talking, you know, just because it's you know, a record setting twenty twenty five doesn't mean that it was you know, dramatically off the historic norms or can't return to the historic norm right. Got to get control of the cost of living. I think that's the biggest reason why people they have to They just have fewer and they wait longer in their lives. That's a huge part of it. And I don't know how they're going to get a hold of the cost of living. They haven't even been able to freeze it, let alone reverse it, so it continues to tick in the wrong direction. The replacement migration is the next step that I would talk about that some of this is on purpose. Bring the illegals in, who have probably twice the fertility. I'd like to actually see the numbers, maybe even more so two x, maybe more. Wellied, right, and oh yeah, multiple ways, you know, birth rates, citizenship, just social welfare. It's incentifies that way, but we can reverse that. You know, you can keep illegals out. You can have programs that bring guest workers in that are identified and work through several long term depths to become citizens and a you know, a well understood and controlled manner, and you know, and and also you know, again just the native born population to take take the taxes off their back, put put it on the backs of people who you know, they're taken from Social Security, but they're never contributing back by having offspring the spring right. Yeah, and allows some opt out buyouts of Social Security and Medicare. That'd be cool. Not that ain't ever going to happen. Let's see where do you want to go next? We got several other other areas I want. I want to finish up. Okay, talking about I think I've had a you know, I've sat and I've thought long and hard about a war declar declaration and why we haven't done it since World War Two. So I want to finish the show episode The Picture Power Hour, April sixteenth, twenty twenty six. I finished that way, but I know you did some research. You want to remind us that, hey, you never can stop looking at this massive federal government deficit. Yep, let's jump right into that. Really. So I've talked a little bit on the show about a financial model or just really gathering detailed information and analyzing it both with my own brain what I call bankster intelligence b I, and of course artificial intelligence, augmented intelligence, whatever you want to call it. Well, it really helps automate the process too, So in fifteen minutes I can do what would normally take me two or three hours of manual work. So I'm able to pull these updated numbers weekly instead of once a month or every a few times a year. What I'm trying to get at is I've been tracking multiple data points over the last couple of months since the last time I brought this up on the show and. The last time you showed us your model. Are we going to be able to screenwatch? Are you gonna get us into what it's saying now? No, because I was having trouble getting it to cooperate and be a smooth experience. It actually works better on my phone, for what it's worth. But I did tighten it down into just like a thirty second kind of summary. Let's see what we can go for. What have you learned? What's it telling us now? Three major areas have gone to the you know, are heading in the wrong direction, even more so than in January late January when I ran this number one growth official numbers. We can argue about their validity, but in mid to late twenty twenty five, we were seeing four percent growth, three percent growth. We're not seeing that. We're seeing almost flat real growth in twenty twenty six. Hang on, hang on, yes, well, what's the source of the data. And also, while you tell me that, explain to me why growth estimates that you never trusted before are now able to be trusted to make that statement. Well, those same numbers are going down now maybe they're just setting resetting to the real data. But well, we could dive into the fact checking here in a second. But let's just say, according to my model, growth is trending down compared to where it was two or three months ago. The projections number two, those are fed numbers though, yeah, exactly, Well, I will see if we can get those actual exact numbers and we'll track this. This is kind of not a prediction, per saved. This is someone we can track over the next month or two to see if this whole is true. We're just going to top right. It's a cave that these are fed numbers, a fed that the presidents that war at by. The way, true, I'll give you that. Next is tariff revenue is expected to you know, based on the news sources hit here. We can go into each individual one if we want, but the projections for long term tariff revenue is down big time year of a year, just because the odds of it being thrown out or certain tariffs being thrown out or limited, not all of them, but you know, a major haircut of the projected terraff revenue that was baked into my model as of a few months ago has to be cut out now. So just the federal government debt is that much worse off? Is that's that's the result of that exactly. That used to be a tailwind, like, hey, we're getting the tariffs, maybe that'll help us stabilize things. Well, if that gets neutered, cut in half, even cut down by twenty percent, that's that's that's definitely a negative increase in military spence. Go ahead one second, though, one second. So the cost was borne by the consumers on those tariffs. The refunds are going back to the companies. And at what point does competition bring those prices down? Would you? Is there not a chance that there's falling prices or at least flatlining of prices because there isn't a tariff there anymore. Well, we're seeing inflation going up right now. If that reverses or stabilized in the next six months, maybe that argument can be made, or maybe I would mean inflation would be worse. Otherwise, Well, you got to separate the cost the cost of oil in transportation as part of the final cost, and the products themselves that were tarraffed. So if spending's going higher from the military up three hundred to six hundred billion. Either that's gonna add to the deficit, or they're gonna have to cut other programs or raise taxes or all of that. Yeah, they got to pass that bill, though that's not setting stone yet. True, it's at nine hundred billion today, so they proposed one point five trillion. It could be somewhere in the middle, or maybe it'll just stay at nine hundred I doubt that though. But here's the kicker that, you know, I think it's the worst part of it all is the expense paid on the interest on the national debt. It's getting dangerous. It's getting dangerous, and if interest rates continue to climb, it's just compounds even worse. So everything else. I think there was kind of a you know, pro and con to or at least some caveats, but that one is undeniable. That just amount of money paid on interest to the debt is just starting to get crazy. I agree, and I'll maintain that if if that ever leads to the rest of the world deciding that we're in default, the federal government default, and how absolutely severe that would be, and they wouldn't even call it that. They design new programs and you know, have some new banks to speak to tell you how the default wasn't the default, but it'll be a fucking fault, and all the way up until virtually the day before it happens. In Congress, with sufficient willpower could make changes to prevent it. I like to see that not split like this, that with you know, with four or five vote you know, margins in either of the houses, you know, six or seven, and and Senate, Nope, it'll be it'll be gridlocked right. Over the cliff we got. We need a really good care to shake the political system loose. And you and I both know how that could work, right if. It shakes loose in one direction. Now we got the the Clinton Obama Biden reset and it's forever after. And we're definitely on the precipice of that. I think a lot more people want the bailouts, want universal income, want universal healthcare, all that. Every year, every decade. Unfortunately, a larger percentage thinks that's a good idea. That's just my dead reckoning. But that is also not you know, stopping or reversing. That's only getting worse as time goes on, it seems. True. One thing that's out there though, is you know, what what kind of productivity gain do you get out of the I don't know, top twenty percent performers in any organization right when you give them AI five years from now, not today's AI. Not not stuff that's looking like the Commodore sixty four. In the beginning of the b A AI. I'm talking about the you know, the Windows ninety eight version of AI and then later all the all the enhancements that it's it's doing that kind of runaway increase in effectiveness. So, you know, we talked earlier about you know, growing our way out. You know, this is Patriot Power Hour. We're not you know, this isn't Doomsday Power Hour. Right, there's ways to shape this so that we survive and prosper. That's why Prepper broadcasts the network. We're here to help prep help get the information, actionable information future danger that might affect you, and you can you know, prepare yourself and your family, whether it's short term or long term. Hey, I did a little of the fact checking Bureau of Economic Analysis. That's what went from a four point four percent GDP growth in Q three he down to zero point five. But all the others, there's all types of other Bankster Organizations IMF, International Monetary Fund, in Congressional Budget Office CBO, they're talking more of growth, not collapsing, but they're lowering their projections. Blah blah blah. So there you go. True trump Trumpet came out and said, you know, he's hitting Iran now because of how strong we were, Like he knew he could do it now, because he knew there would be a shock to the energy markets, and he knew that would be a hit for the economy. But he thought we could afford it right now. Well, certainly, the right thing to do to take out Venezuela if you're playing risk is the back channels. Dave Jones says he's played risk. Well, the right move was to take Venezuela. I think you mentioned two hundred and fifty thousand plus barrels a day, which is more than one percent of the US A manned, it doesn't sound like that much, but it's a heck of a lot comes from Venezuela to the US. Just that was just like two months ago or less, so could even go up more so. The people that you know paraded themselves onto mainstream financial cable and news and radio. In January in the. Let's just say the two weeks after Maduro was captured, and if you'll remember, Trump and Rubio hosted all the executives at the oil companies US oil companies at the White House big room, right, They're all sitting around the corner and Excellon spoke up and said that they weren't going to be able to commit to stuff, and Trump said, all right, so Chevron will do it, you know, basically, screw you. So two weeks after that all happened, it's just a parade of people saying they'll never get that oil out of Venezuela, they'll never get that really old architecture back up and running. That's just nonsense numbers from the president. I'd like to know right now what's happening in Venezuela, because it's pretty quiet down there and it's a lot of oil coming out. I think there's a lot of idiots that were flat out wrong in January. That's some numbers we should research and bring to the table in the next few weeks or at least definitely this spring season. What are the latest numbers out of Venezuela look like. So, I think that's something that the people in the White House are perfectly aware and smart enough to kind of stick that in the back pocket. And you know, everything is you know, six generation hybrid warfare, right, everything's in information operation, a SI off by definition, it's always happening, contesting wills, influencing the information environment. It's just the way it's done, right. I think that what would be ideal from Trump's perspective is lining up a large amount of successes that everybody thought he couldn't bring about and timing it in the September to October timeframe to do something that hasn't been done in lifetimes, which is for an incumbent president's party to win the midterm after his election. And I think he gambled this year. He's like, well, usually you never win, so he's gonna go real big and see what can be done, and just you know, pointing at Venezuela by August or September and saying, look at that success. Definitely be part of that. Anything else from the national security standpoint, whether China, North Korea, Iran, or NATO Europe accelerates fallback Plan, anything else you want to hit on. Yeah, the missing scientists and engineers. That definitely was surfaced by Peter Deucy to Karen Levitt, and you know, wait for the shoot to drop on that that we could have some really lethal espionage happening in the United States. And that's another thing that you know, when that sort of stuff happens, just like a big financial crisis, a lot of power swings to the executive brand. I think we started covering this at seven or eight, and every month it's another one minimum. Heck, here's the article right here April seventh where they talked about eight. I know we talked about about it when it was seven. Eight now it's ten. Was the continue it was the Air Force Research Laboratory Retired Commanding General AFRL Commanding General. He's a big one and they was noticed immediately when he when he went missing, and he's still not being found, so that somebody might have decided that any you know, the United States of America has an aerospace capability that they have to catch up with. They have to steal it and and and and grabbing our people. It could be a really desperate move because they're they're seeing what we're able to do and they're scared to death of it. To that would be money, well, spent in the military industrial complex. Just I'm saying, if we got some kind of overmatch right now, you know, stop stop talking to us about you know, to anybody who wants to talk about World War three. Every minute we're doing what we're doing Iran, we're getting further from that. I think, all right, Well, they were meeting in d c. Builderberg. I want to read a couple of the people that showed up. Let's take a look. Where's the list? I thought I just had it chicking Cree the Netherlands. They stopped by the White House too. I know King Charles is visiting, is visiting the White House and some places on the East Coast as well. Soon, I think the next couple of weeks, I'm not sure at the exact time, should come by on the US two and fiftieth fourth of July. That No, I can't find a list right here, but it's a good list. Bakester's politicians and royalty. That's kind of the way I look at it. Yeah, do they matter anymore? I don't think they matter right now, not as much, not as much before a lot less. They still they're. Witnessing power that they don't have, and you know, that's what happens when you get shot at and you barely live through the experience like and care. It should be obvious to all of Builderberger's that he's not he's not listening to them as a body and taking counsel from him. That also is good and safe, and I'm move in a good direction. If it maintains after the Trump administration. I'll take now, I'll take I'll take safer and better now all the time. I guess, Yeah, at some point you gotta look short term, because you know, you gotta breathe eventually. You can't just be looking ahead too far. You gotta take care of the now absolutely all right, Well, we're coming up nearly to the top of the hour. We've still got a few minutes left though, But anything else you wanted to run through, especially anything that happened over the last week that might not necessarily be on the dashboard but was super important. We're not gonna talk about freaking swallow well or any of the other stuff either necessarily. But Chinese asseid Chinese asset that's going to be exposed as that. By the way, Bang Thang to be easy to be proven to be a Chinese asset. I think is every likelihood that that Newsome is as well, and many other California politicians. Chinese intelligence interference in that party is another card that could get tossed on the table pretty easily, I think. I think Tulsa Gabbard's in the background building up a lot of evidence that is the you know, they're going to take care of business. Expect all of that before the midterm. But I wanted to talk about declarations of war and why why we don't get them anymore? Oh, I think. Yeah, And I've never heard anybody say this, So I'm going to take credit tonight for being original. You know, probably not entirely factual, and probably legally. You know, there's a lot of nuance here, a lot of arguments, a lot of different points of view, But I'll give you mine. And and it goes to the word treason. And I've said it before in Patriot Power Hour. Treasons in crime defined by the US Constitution for a reason because of how abused the term was in England, Great Britain. For our ancestors colonized North America, that their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, they knew real tyranny because be accused of treason to leading you lose in your head for many centuries, very easily, and you didn't get anything. Close to a fair trial about that sort of thing. Right, And when you're throwing around the word treason, you know it's you know, it's the hallmark of a country that's you know, in dire straits. The government of that country is in real trouble, like you know in Iran, right, like the many thousands of protesters that were killed in January, they were geting. Accused of treason. Right. So the reason I don't think we've declared a war since Franklin, Dellan or Roosevelt is if you do that, now, you illegally you. Got enemies, right, no war, no enemy. You know, it's just rhetoric to call it a war and call it, you know, enemies. You know, it makes sense in a lay person's point of view. But you know, legally, no declaration of war, no enemies, no enemies, no aiding and abetting the enemy, and therefore no treason. But if they declared war, going onto this podcast and speaking out against that war, well yeah, that becomes treason. Declaring war very serious. Power left to Congress, not the presidency. Because I think the founders knew you do that. You declare war, then you're taking the you know, a big piece, a very important piece of the First Amendment, and hitting the off switch. You don't get to talk negatively about wars. You don't get to criticize wars. There's no hippie movement against Vietnam. If you actually declare a war. I think it distills to that, and it's such a pure state. I know a lot of people be shocked to be like, no, that doesn't make sense, and try to quibble around some of the corners. But I think there's a clear definition. War gets your enemies. Enemies means you can aid and to bet them, and if you're doing that, read the constitutional definition of treason. Now you're a trader. That makes sense to me. I was thinking more of all the funding of these different worldwide organizations and funneling of money that could be considered aiding and betting them. But also for the citizens of the US. Yeah, if that makes sense too, that's the other side of the coin. Well, treason would only apply to Americans, right. Well, I guess you're talking about were freedom of speech. I'm thinking they're protecting them up their own self so they could play both sides and make money on both sides, and the politicians won't go to jail for doing that. That's as much or more a silencing the people. Can you run that by me again? Well, everybody makes it's a war as a racket, all the politicians making hell of money off of this entire situation one way or another. And if by doing so, they were actually helping Russia on accident or a little bit, or Iran or any of these other organizations they had their finger in, either purposefully or on accident, they would be culpable as well. So all the little scams out there, those USAID scams, how many of those helped Iran or helped Ukraine in the last decade, that would get these people implicated in long term treason as well. So that's big reason they don't want to. Yeah, I don't know, there's no long term treason. First to declare the war and then that that clocks out starts there. The legal conditions start there because war's declared. What you have done in the past before there was a war is nothing more than freedom of association protected right under the First Amendment. Well, I would like to just go. But we're going to stop it now. Why don't we go back back in time? Like, why do I stop now? But that would be unjust right. You can't change the law punish people for breaking a law that wasn't in effect before the law was passed. That's essentially what you know, declaration of war does fundamentally changes the landscape of the laws. I think every political party since you know, the Republicans and the Democrats since World War Two, stort Of realized, look, people can start playing games with these definitions and come after political opponents really easy. So they they found a way to have authorised they of use of force, but they didn't call it a war declaration. And even even the fool that was you know, that teenager from California found among the Taliban right when we went into Afghanistan, the Northern Alliance was ripping apart the Taliban, Cia Green Berids were there, you know, making it happen with those forces, and they captured a bunch of people in this somebody from California. He was charged with all kinds of you know, federal crimes related or similar to treason, but he was in charge of treason, and I thought at the time he should totally be you know, we'd already passed the authorization. He's a force. He should have been treated with treason. They wouldn't do. It, well, I guess the lawyers convince them it's too high of a hurdle, or there's another reason they do that, and it's to protect their own ass. I think that's got to be something. It's a deep state kind of consensus opinion. If it's if, if you believe in my logic, they agreed a long time ago. We're just never gonna do that, because that would tear the country apart, to have a real war, a real war where no one gets on the air and starts talking shit against it, because that's treasonous and and and they'll be coming to put you in jail for it. Right, you're gonna you're gonna stay in trial, run in your mouth against what your country's doing. Right. There wasn't examples of There was no street protests against World War two, Right, No nobody, nobody did that because they knew that you're you're gonna get in prisoned if you do that. Well, that's good. Keep the sheep asleep, not even riled up. Let a few of them vent on a radio show occasionally and run the world into the ground. It's worked for the last seventy years, so they continue. They continue. Of course, we can get on the air and just talk about purely hypotheticals without naming any particular places and everybody who know what we were criticizing. But you know, then then all of those First Amendment games come in. It would just clogged the system. It's like, that's why I don't think we have real wars. I think the only time you'd ever really be at a real war is if the government, you know, got got struck in a crushing surprise attack that you know, did continuity of operations, right, like something that fearful that came our way. Yeah, yeah, watch out. That's the real war. There's real treason when there's real war. Better be on the right side when you're talking. The best idea is probably be a prepper, keep your head down, and have a small network you can work with and trust. So that's a good way to end the show, I think, future Dan, but another good one in the bank. Yeah. Episode three forty three, April sixteenth, twenty twenty six.
