M hmmm, what do you want? Statement of purpose? Should I email you? Should I put this on your action item list? You decide your own love love involvement. We are the Proper Broadcasting Network. You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben the Breaker of Banksters and Future Dan, the editor of Future danger dot Com. July second, twenty twenty six, Picture Power Hour is back. We are live five point thirty one pm Eastern to be precise episode three hundred and fifty two season opener, second half twenty twenty six preview and just as important, if not more important than everything. This is our two hundred and fifty year of seventeen seventy six episode I've been the Breaker Banksters here with Future Dan. What's going on? Future Dan? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. We got a new season. Summer season hot outside, everybody's hot in the East at least, and drought got like just it's summer. It's full summer. Now full summer. Feels like early August, but it is early July, so it's not that far away. We do have some news about that, and I've been watching the grid alerts, right, do we have enough power? Have not seen brown out and mast blackouts? Thankfully we have not turned into Europe and absolutely gutted our natural gas and coal and nuclear power. So I'm thankful for that future. Dan, Yeah, yeah, And always talk with data centers. You know, the amount of electricity the absorb right, the authorities would shut those down first, right, those are gonna get you know, throttled back before people are sitting at home one hundred and three degrees. In the dark. That was actually one of many reasons people have been supportive of bitcoin is that it helps to build that base power and it could be cycled down. Not to mention, it can capture energy in very you know locations where a windmill or a solar farm when it worked because of transmission. So putting that all together, the data centers, as you said, they're building out the power grid because they need that, and as long as they do kind of spin them down if needed, which they better, we the people better hold it accountable that our safety comes first. But otherwise I think it's a good thing for the grid. And I think I saw a bit of news while we were on break. Somebody doing contracts with Department of Energy, you know, you know, exploring building, prototyping miniature nuclear reactors. Three of them hit criticality in June, so you know there's being there's a there's real progress there that you know. You know now that you know Trump did what was really ultimately pretty easy to do is just step out of the way. Industry and. Every I don't know, as I get older, and this happens with most folks, I'm sure time has a weird distortion effect. And we're coming up on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven, a quarter of a century. We're at a quarter of a millennia for America, right, But think of it this way. We're seventy five years from the invention of nuclear power. Like, we can use it. We can do much better than the fear margarine of the sixties, seventies, eighties, and it needs to be done. It's really the only answer. Well, there needs to be diversification of power generation, but it's huge. So I'm glad to see that. Yeah, I am too. So we did something special for the heat map dashboard tonight. Yes we did. Normally folks were here live every week, but we took a end of season break, mid year break. We had to of course get here before fourth of July. Here on the second of July. But what we did here on Future Danger dot Com, the news spine of our show here Pepper Broadcast and network Patriot Power Hour, we left everything. We didn't roll it off because right, Future Dan, Normally it's like, uh, well maybe you could explain exactly, but it's like between three to five days, these headlines stay on Future Danger, but you preserved them so we could hit everything that's happened in the last few weeks. Yeah, it's actually been a little bit longer for a number of years now. Six days, right, Okay, So the objective is to not talk about the news we talked about last week unless it's reoccurring. There's new headlines for the indicator. Somebod these indicators stay hot week after week, right, but usually it rolls off purges from the heat map dashboard in six days. But I chose to just let it run. And you see a lot of indicators in there saying active x amount of days. Those are the ones that have run long. So the news. I guess if you're a glass half full kind of guy, the the news is a little bit more stale season premiere, but it is gonna be a little bit more comprehensive or Patriot Power out. We're looking back in the past two weeks and a reason for that is one particular article that I'll let you read. They eat Map Dashboard. We'll get back to it, but there's one that Dave Jones was adamant was important news to discuss. We had just hit break. We had a little bit of backchannel debates should it be a special? Should it wait? But if I let the news roll off, we wouldn't even be talking about it, and that would be a mistake too. Well, we're pretty much well lined up for this. We're may to just hit the dashboard as pithy as possible. We can go from there. It is, but again, we got news up to two weeks old. But it's a little bit. It's a different perspective, right, it's a it's a it's a zoom out perspective. You're talking about time warp impressions of time. This is the this is the first for Patriot Power are to be looking at two plus weeks worth of news in one view should be interesting. Let's roll with it. First observation before I literally start reading. As you know those familiar with Future Danger four columns, the column that easily has the most news is the natural news, which in our experience is mostly Mother Nature or humans messing with nature. So I'm gonna start there, all right, Future Dan, here we go. Enormous earthquakes, smites. We have earthquakes throughout the world, but the most severe and deadly, unfortunately in Venezuela started with hundreds missing, now thousands, seventeen hundred plus confirmed killed right now. This is a seven point two and a seven point five strike, so two very strong back to back for all intensive purposes hitting. Venezuela also had those six point three in northern China and around the Pacific rim, so a lot of activity in earthquakes. Mites haven't seen much of that recently. Volcanoes not much going on there. But extreme heat wave hits megaheat dome inbound for the Eastern seaboard mid Atlantic one hundred plus degree temperatures to two hundred million Americans in early July. Also heavy amounts or you know, high amounts of humidity so the feel that what it feels like index one hundred and ten plus. In Europe, they also had the worst ever recorded heat wave blasting in thousands ended up dying from this over time. So heat waves and earthquakes big time news. All that is developed in the last couple of weeks and even in the last one week. Honestly, wildfires State of emergency declared in Utah as cottonwood fire grows to largest active wildfire in the US, and there's a fire on the Utah Colorado border, the Snyder Fire twenty eight thousand acres and three firefighters killed. So all types of different fire fires breaking out and still have many weeks of fire season to go. A bull outbreak exceeds one thousand deaths. Ticks causing red meat allergies spread across the US. The lone Star CDC raises a bull of response to highest level. As outbreak grows, it comes out in public. Scientists mole a controversial plan to steer hurricanes. That's a topical news item under whether weapon exposed an article from about seventeen days ago, but we haven't talked about on Picture Power Hour, so definitely gonna hit it. Scientists concerned that the latest gene editing of human embryos could open the floodgates. Talk about a slippery slope. And that's it for the first column. Well, it is the right Moost column, the first of the night. Let's keep moving on economics. Leveraged funds and margin debt grow to unprecedented levels. Leverage and debt. Consumer prices up four point two percent annually. President invokes Defense Production Act as US moves to rebuild weapons stockpiles. President threatens big problems for gasoline retailers if they don't cut prices. It says, you be or not be gouging people. Property foreclosure filings up fourteen percent year over year. Fourteen percent year over year foreclosure filings, and they're going to raise interest rates into that. We'll see what happens. Largest US power grid declares emergency to prevent blackouts. Let's move on to the security column. Department of National Intelligence says NIAID director funded Wuhan Lab research which sparked COVID, then helped corrupt intelligence officials suppress the truth. Yet parting shot by Tulsa Gabbard, I'm all about that. Let's we'll dive deep into that shortly Secretary of War orders the review of US force posture in Europe. Fifteen Antifa charge with violently interfering with ICE operations in Minnesota, Russia. It's a question. Here's the question, Russia on the brink of taking more into space, whether that's against NATO, whether that's against Ukraine, or generally, I have a feeling the answer is yes. Then the article we must get to domestic terrorists plan to attack White House. UFC matches a suicide drone plot that was in the back channels. We'll come back. Let's finish this news blitz quickly, though, heading to the final column of the night, Liberty and freedom related. Judge blocks mail in voting executive order. Judge orders release of more Epstein videos. US military conducts more strikes against Iran without constitutionally ratifying and approving that. And finally, documentary features ex Secretary of State calling the Electoral College an abomination. Future day. And that's the news blitz for today. Yes it is, and it's a it's a unique one because we look back in time on a lot of ones. Let's call it one day wanted to talk about. First, there we go, teen accused of planning UFC fight attack at White House turned in by their mom so on. It was the fourteenth of June, so a couple of weeks ago they had the White House lawn event for the UFC. It was pretty awesome. I loved it actually, but came out a couple of days later that there was a plot to fly suicide drone into that, and you know that became a big, big topic of news at least for a day or so. So future Dan, you know, what was your take on this? What should we uh cover for our fans out there? Yeah, it definitely belongs on the he map dashboard. Could have gone a couple of ways elected official assassinated if they could actually target it Trump or anybody else that was elected officer at that event. But I think I went with, you know, a federal facilities attacked for lack of a better place. But it's you know, when you see a headline like that, the FBI is arresting somebody in chargeing with that, it belongs on the HEMP dashboard. Turns out this didn't look like a very effective plot, well thought out plot must Supposedly there's a bunch of handles on signal that will possibly lead back to other you know, people that conspired. Whether or not summer all of them are adults is another question, right, So uh, it definitely rated. But I kind of said in the back tenie that, you know, more shoes have got to drop before we're going to stop and do a special for for an arrest. If they had actually tried to launch this and they were killed by secret service, then it would have been a little bit of a different story number number two if it looked more than just like Antifa crazies coming up with some idea at two in the morning when they're on drugs or something. Yeah, I mean that doesn't mean that's not dangerous and it's not porn, but like, yeah, it's not as right, it's not special worthy, is that what you're saying? Kind of well, it's about you know, effect, right, what effected this that it didn't seem like it was anywhere near an effective plausible plot. If you know, we've seen you know, even just the FBI arresting a dozen people dressed a military garb, armed within striking distance of Washington, d C. With actual drones, right, you know, and and we saw a video of them all you know, under a red mugshots and all their equipment. I'm just not seeing that here. But it's so legitimate. It belongs on the heat mad dashboard, and we don't know. Maybe there's a rest, maybe there's indictments, maybe there's more to come, and we'll track it when it comes. And hopefully that if it was a real threat, they are able to track that back and stop other threats. I was just you know, I probably came out and said I'm not so concerned about it because I had a feeling it was something dumb like this. But what I guess what I was worried about is just kind of well, with Governor Whitmer in that whole kidnapping plot in Michigan, that was just getting a bunch of idiots essentially entrap me. Not saying that he shouldn't be guilty or you know, work through the justice system and find the evidence, but I'm just saying, you can probably find some dumb ass antifa set them up and make a show out of it, and that just you know, I don't know that's what this was, but I just wasn't impressed with it. I'm like, whatever, and absolutely no disrespect to anybody who thought it was important or of course to NBC guy. But I'm just like, ah, you know, half, I don't even believe the facts of this one way or the other. So you know, I'm glad it wasn't an actual attack where they actually had explosives and they were on the other side of the Potomac ready to fly it in from a mile away. I just don't believe that would even be possible. With the modern technology and the budget of the War Department and DHS and all the Secret Service, like, they're not gonna be able to pull this stuff off. So if they're hanging this up as like, oh, this is a huge victory of our internal security forces, that's kind of annoying me. It's kind of like, I don't know, making a they're just trying to take too much credit where they probably shouldn't, or just I don't know what it seems political a little. By My reaction to that is it's entirely possible to do a terrorist attack. We had sniper and DC drive around for weeks. They couldn't track it down. I guarantee you that that they don't have the technology to prevent that again, and if the person takes measures to avoid signatures, and you know, would be easy if your dumb ass would get caught easily, if you're not a dumb ass. I this stuff is absolutely possible. And about the fostering domestic terrorists to prosecute, well, that's a different eat map dashboard indicator, because that in and of itself is dangerous, right, But we don't have any evidence of that right now, so it's. Not hot true true, this is me kind of vent ea or put my tinfoil hat on there. I will say this though only lack of a better term pushback on that is, I believe within five miles of the White House they got a heartbeat detectors. They got so much surveillance that any building, you're in, any vehicle within five miles of my house, they could find out that you have explosives or you're talking about explosives. They could hear you through other walls, through other people's cell phones. I just I don't know. Is the year twenty twenty six, Maybe I don't have any evidence of this. But on the other hand, there's a lot of evidence that the surveillance state is just crazy good. So terrorists in the rest of the United States more likely within five miles of the biggest tech pole event on Trump's birthday. I just don't think they would, you know, they got that locked down. Drone swarms are a problem for everybody trying to defend against them. There's a problem for us to epic fury. It's a problem tonight in Ukraine. It's a problem in Ukraine and in Russia for both sides, sending giant waves that can't be stopped. The you know, in warfare, sometimes some weapons of some types, you know, kind of get to predominance, are to defend against Think of World War One German U boats, World War two German your U boats. Right, That's what drone swarms are. Right now. I'm not going to go into like more detailed discussion of how you'd actually mount an attack in Washington, DC like this, because God forbid it happened. I don't want to have to talk to anybody about my thoughts on the matter. But I could. Internally, I could. I could consider that the red teaming is what they call it, looking at from the enemy's perspective, the opponent's perspective, and taking people and be like, all right, you go, red team this, you go try to attack this, You go try to you know, sabotage this. You go, you go act against it and find all the vulnerabilities penetration testing. Right, Obviously people are thinking about how do you protect them, you know, DC, all the monuments, all the buildings, all the officials. Right, I'm not sure that it's not possible to do it, just you know, probably don't arrive next to the Potona can then talk out loud about it. But if you're ready when you got there, they're concerned. They're concerned. I think some of the most early prototype anti drone systems are going to be everywhere down there during the fireworks and everything that's happening this weekend on the on the mall in DC. Right, right, I wonder what they got. But hey, I mean we'll maybe get into some of this. But in uh, well, in the Middle East, but also Ukraine and in Russia, you can launch six hundred drones and five hundred and eighty get shot down, but twenty of them hit and they're devastated. So even if you can shoot them all that like ninety five percent down five percent to get through a nasty so with a crowded area, a terrorist attack, you know, it's definitely not something we want to happen. So I don't know. I want to our internal security to be strong and work well. But you know, we got the Bill of Rights for reasons, so that's definitely a tension there. Yep. So luckily the UFC wasn't attacked and plot seems to have been a weak one. I don't think you have to I don't think they have I have to go out of its way to find online conspiracies to do this sort of thing. I think there's huge amount of you know, people that would be you know that they're they're close to riding in the streets at any moment. And what's not on the heat map dashboard is some major Supreme Court decisions. We can argue and think about, like what the ultimate decisions were, but they all came down on the side of, you know, preventing less rioting. If that birthright citizenship had gone the other way, I think they'd be burning stuff down right now. And that was actually something that I knew why it wasn't the Supreme Court decisions themselves on the dashboard because this is a danger heat map as opposed to just the facts only of the news. But I mean he broached the topic, do we want to finish the dashboard first, you want to hit on a couple you know, a little deeper into the Supreme Court now, or you want to wait a couple of weeks till it you fully think through it, or what you're playing there on the Supreme Court. You're the true expert here relative to me, for sure. In my opinion, I'm not sure if I'm a true expert. But I did take constitutional law in college, so I'm a little bit interested. Yeah, there's the Slaughter decision, the Cook decision, and the birthright decision. Right and Slaughter a firm that Trump could fire any officials in the executive branch even if a previous Congress didn't. You know, a president signed a law that a previous Congress pass that put limits around Article two executive power. That was wiped out, and it wiped out a president that was ninety years old, Humphrey's executor nineteen thirties. Right, that was the real period, you know, where these organizations were stood up by car Congress that were you know, supposedly out of the control of the president. It was never constitutional, it was just never challenged. And now it's done with it does bring in the entire question of can the president fire all the way down through the civil service? Right, and the Democrats are scared to death of that, because the Slaughter decision leaves that as is theoretically possible, simultaneously a decision that that that is contradictory. The Cook decision said that for the time being, fed Governor Cook cannot be fired by Trump for cause, I think because he didn't give her notice and due process. That's still an open question whether he can, you know, how he can fire anybody on you know, the Forward Operating Committee at the Federal Reserve, the governors. It's that seems to be contradictory to Slaughter. Right, So the Supreme Court didn't do itself as favor. Some of this is not fully decided right now. If you listen to Bloomberg Radio or the Banksters, which I do, and I want to know what they're thinking. All the time, they've said that, you know, this amounts to a Federal Reserve exemption that's entirely different from every other you know, independent agency so called formerly independent agency pre Slaughter independent agency. But I don't think that's necessarily true because where what exactly is executive power. Some of the things that the Federal Reserve does, just because there was a first and second Bank of the United States, just because Britain and other central banks pretend like it's not executive power. To you and me, anything a government central bank does is executive power, and that's not fully decided. That's why the Cook decision and the Slaughter decision and it odds with each other. And I also think that the Slaughter decision and the birthright decision, there's there's a fundamental problem. Roberts wrote that, you know, you know, if the constitutions, the Constitution, the fourteenth Amendment has been interpreted to grant birthright citizenship all along, and you know that, you know, you can't overturn all kinds of precedents since. But Slaughter overturned a ninety one year old president. So they're willing to go back ninety one years, but they're not willing to go back, you know, one hundred and sixty five or whatever to the Civil War era. And Thomas, in his dissent on birthright, said that he doesn't believe this is a settle matter either. So President didn't get all he wants, but he forced it. He forced the issue, He forced movement, He forced decisions that had had he not gone into DC and disrupted the testatu Quo wouldn't have led it to these decisions which now later or you know, there's plenty of more different cases that are gonna come and challenge these points. Trouble is for us tonight, is it? You know you're only speculating because you probably won't see these arguments for years. Right, It'll take years, But that's kind of how it works. True, it's supposed to go slow for some reason, but maybe not one hundreds of years. Well with regard to the FED, because of course that's what boils my blood as the breaker of Baxter's. I see it a couple of ways. First, Congress needs to get their stuff together and get rid of the FED is what this helps show even further. Number two, don't give up on fighting against the FED all around now Trump, of course, God has got I don't want to see what happens with Trump here because they are of course not going to be lower in rates, and Trump always wants lower rates. But maybe he's changed his mind because of a little bit of inflation, but also because recession indicators are not flashing as hard as maybe they thought it would. But I want to trust the executive to get rid of the FED anyway, even if they could. So this makes me just really have to focus on Congress. I guess is that the right take on this or what? Yeah? I guess so. But news today, you know, the economy added fifty seven thousand jobs and we're getting downward revisions on the jobs, so there's more evidence on the rate cutting side of the leisure. Meanwhile, gas prices are dropping back to where they ought to be if Epicuria wasn't going full steam. I saw it reports tonight that there's tankers full of oil parked off of China and China can't even process it yet, so I Ran essentially can't sell its oil yet. So there's that disruptional worker's way out prices. You know, I think the inflation pressure is every all Democrats since epik Fury started, we're hoping would come and crush the Republicans at the midterms. That it might not be true, I would say, I hope it's not true. Number one. Number two, it would have been a total landslide. Without this, there would have been seemingly no hope for the Democrats who went to midterms, but now it's maybe questionable. This is actually a perfect segue though. I did get a user question or user question, fan question, listener question, whatever you want to call it while we were gone. Pretty much while we were off air, one of our listeners reached out said, with the midterm election coming up, how do we expect stocks to the stock market to run September October before midterms? And based on a couple of different possible scenarios, how do you see the stock market ending going into twenty twenty seven? So future Dan, I want to hear your thoughts first on the market, I guess, but also just the midterms and what you're expecting these next few weeks or a few months. Well, let me ask you this to answer that question, how free of a market, how manipulal, datable do you think? You know the stock market is, how how concentrated it is? You know what kind of you know, secret cabals could bring about a crash? What there's always that potential. It's the question of like, you know, how true is it or not? How close is there not? This this stock market set in all time highs right now, it doesn't look like any small set of people could govern what it does next. But maybe I'm wrong on that. So let me know what frame, what lens do you want me to look at it? From highly manipulable or relatively freer than ever? I like it. Let's go with the freer than ever start with. So if it's free and ever nobody had the power to control it, we're talking about above board earnest stock market, then I don't see what's stopping it from being at even greater highs by the election that which you know that doesn't hurt the Republic the crashes, then it might. It might actually favor them because it would sweep in a Democrat majority in the House and Senate, and they would set to attack Trump, and by the time they were done doing that after two years, the country would fully remember why they don't like that party. M maybe this goes hand in hand with what you said for more than a year now that you expect Trump to potentially be hoovered in late mid to late twenty twenty eight before the presidential So you're saying if they if that happens too early, then maybe Democrats will actually catch the blame before the presidential election. Won't be able to pull the whole thing. Off if it was a really bad crash this fall. The executive powers. Look at the look at the you know, the the economy federally seized indicator news articles. Right now, Trump's job owning companies to lower gas prices. He's just he's bully puppet right, threatening things. But those the you know, the legal counsel of those corporations know damn well that the executive has laws long pass that could really force them to do things. The Defense Industrial Production Act. You know, that's the President pointing at any company the United States and say you're gonna do this on behalf of national security. So lots of powers there. If it all crashed early, I gotta believe all clashed in this year that was a not you know, semi quasi natural you know, overheating, blowing up, the AI bubble, the circular lending. We got private credit, you know, funds that are doing gating and holding back redemptions, like all kinds of derivative Ponzi's scheming in the background. We always fear it could all come down, right, Well, if it comes down this year, I think it came down under its own corruption If it comes down next year twenty seven, especially late twenty seven, same timing as COVID nineteen before that election, then I get suspicious that it was it was planned. It all depends on how much time Trump would have to use a massive executive power at his disposal. And I don't think anybody that wants to hoover him leave him with the legacy of being like the greatest loser of the twenty first century and putting his party out of power for decades. After decades after Roosevelt got the House of Representatives, the Democrats New Deal Democrats got the House of Representatives. It wasn't until nineteen ninety four with knew krk Ingris before the Republicans ever got in power again in that House. So you know they want that sort of result. A crash next year, Trump doesn't have time to do much. He gets labeled with that for all time. Scapegoat Trump. A crash this year. They'll have two years to work on it. And zero percent interest rates that he could throw down asap, and that might be enough to boost it by fall twenty twenty eight. If you had twelve plus months zero raids and even some other types of stimulus whatever, So I get it. That makes sense to me. Definitely does got to make any predictions, but any thoughts on how it's going. Maybe you know, is it too close to call close close rais or you think you know, you don't really make those predictions. What's what's your answer there for for what the outcome? A bit specifically? Yeah, all I want to say is I think lots of things are going on in the background in a lot of places, lots of stuff under the service. I have a lot of Democrats really really nervous, and you know, you might see September or October surprises that you never expected to see or not. Maybe maybe they're not getting anywhere. But if you know, I don't believe that anything you see with I ran right now is legit. That that regime got bombed so hard that it's it's it's splintered, you can't govern. And meanwhile, in the background, intelligence agencies, including our own, have every opportunity to change the outcome significantly by October. Right, and Trump has one big thing that always goes for him first term. This term, he comes in and cuts regulation in a matter of time. When you do that, when you take the foot off of the neck of the American economy, it booms. Well, that's the real wild card. If I had to answer the question from our listener, if I put my hat on that A there could be real growth, then it's yeah, because take the foot off the neck of the economy. Number one. Number two, hopefully AI revolution is just gonna not only make things more efficient, but really just bring prosperity worldwide. Now, I know a lot of folks out there, especially listeners to this network, think that AI is the devil, and I can understand why, especially with the wrong people in charge of it. It could be a nasty weapon, et cetera, could be used against the people. But from an economic standpoint, well, number one, first, we got to hold them accountable. Make sure you know we the people still are in charge. But number two, from economic standpoint there, from what I've seen in my own corporate job, AI is minimum thirty percent efficiency gains in the last year, minimum thirty percent efficiency gains. Now, will that translate to more revenue, more profit? This and that hard to say for sure, but that just in one year, I've personally seen thirty percent efficiency gains. If that happened, even ten percent efficiency gains across the economy over a year or two, like the stock market would go out of control. High will that occur? Not sure? Will there be a counterbalance, Meaning this AI bubble actually is a bubble in terms of the stock market, not the technology, but the stocks and how everything's being concentrated in those particular companies. From an investing perspective, that's a whole other thing. But from what I've seen, man like the economy could benefit so much from efficiency gains due to the implementation of AI that that by itself is a huge tailwind that if everything else goes wrong, the market might not collapse. I don't know that. Maybe that's a little optimistic, but I do think that's huge. Now, if I take the other end of it of like manipulated and this and then the other thing, I still remember that we're on a two trillion dollars per year deficit, that interest rates are going up, that the amount of interest we pay on the debt every year is more than our entire war department. So that's a lot of headwinds right there. And you know, I've seen so much manipulation of stocks and options and all the different margin and little bankster games that I personally staying away from the stock market this fall. How about that? To wrap it up, Yeah, it sounds like you're in a land of confusion on these matters tonight. There's so much to go into it, and I have extremely incomplete information. So the fundamental distinction about our perspectives on this show we've talked about many Patriot power hours. If you pose a question, is an economic collapse unlike anything since the nineteen twenties, you know this century's equivalent of that? Is that inevitable or not? I'm firmly in the not inevitable column, and I think you're very much in the The math has the math? This can't go on forever. Call them yes. I'm just trying to wonder and hope and pray they come out with some sort of like soft landing where we parlay that into a free system instead of nose dive straight into the earth and go into a great depression two point zero Dystopica's hell. So, but the math has to math. But if we could get the foot off the neck of American economy and ingenuity number one and number two, we could really leverage some of this AI technology and just overall advancements and technology. Man, it could it might be able to outgrow the black hole of debt as I always call it. But for for as I see right now, we're still getting sucked into the event horizon destruction from way too much debt load just for everybody. But hey, maybe we could kind of do a sling shot maneuver around it and somehow finesse it. But man, the math is the math has the math somehow, and it ain't mathing no matter how you spin it right now. Honestly, Yeah, in my fears, there's one political pot party that would really like to bring this about reset with socialism. Yeah, which which would you say the word socialism to me? I hear the word oppression, starvation, and death right. So there's there's there's someone wants to do that, but they can only do it if they lay the blame on their on They have to skate skate go their political opponents. That's the most dangerous scenario I see that. That's when one of the parties is going to be highly incentivized to bring about a terrible depression as long as they get away with not being blamed for it. Certainly, and we've seen this kind of ratcheting up or maybe ratcheting down. But what I'm trying to say is socialism is quite popular with the youth these days, and I do feel like that's a little bit of an echo out of the two thousand and eight financial crisis that was amplified again by twenty twenty. There's a lot of reasons to it. But if overall society just starts to think, ah, you know, socialism sounds better capitalism, even though it's not real capitalism in my book, blah blah blah, like the more fraud that is perpetrated in everybody's eyes, but they're able to spin it as being capitalism's fault. That is very dangerous, like in the decade two decade horizon, and we're a couple decades away, you know, from great financial crisis. So maybe this won't all happen this week, but if we go another ratchet up of this sort of banksterism, that'll just set the stags for something worse down the line. Now we are, on the other hand, on Patriot Power Hour, trying to fight the you know, the opposite of that, trying to you know, talk about free market and well, guess what two hundred and fifty years, you know, seventeen seventy six. I don't know, we can talk about more news. I know you got to go pretty soon. But I wanted to preserve ten minutes for seventeen seventy six two hundred fifty years future Dan, and that's how I got to it. Yeah, but we got to make the distinction. It's not two fifty years of America, two hundred and fifty years of the United States of America right there. You go, Well, we had the ore was a confederation for a bit there, but it's still the United States of America, right, so not you know, it's not the two and fiftieth of the Constitution yet. That's that's I think thirteen years away or something. So you know, I count from Jamestown, So you know, America is much older than twound fifty years. But our government is hitting that milestone and it's a monument. It's a human history that that it stayed relatively intact. Right. We've talked about major flaws in it. The War Powers Act. Congress is just not declaring wars. The Fourth Amendment is you know, actually geo fencing was found to be unconstitutional then by the Supreme court too recently, and you had spoken about that earlier. So at least now you can't geo fence an area and use that court. You can, you know, if you're to the police, you can reverse engineer it and find it, you know, find out who was in the zone, and then find another way to bring you forward for prosecution once they figure you out. So you're still under surveillance, but you protect it in court, right. But Fourth Amendment generally, that's a that's a good, good step in the right direction on the Fourth Amendment that's otherwise massively eroded in the digital age. Lots of other places in the US Constitution that are you know, have slight flaws. Some of them got corrected with slaughter too. The second Article of the Constitution exactly power, you know, strengthened in a way that hasn't been strengthened in lifetimes. So that's how I look at the two hundred and fiftieth is, you know, no other people's on earth ever got close to as find a government that we've managed to have. We just have to hold on to it. I agree, And the good news and certainly not the first to say this, but ideas are bullet proof so even if they have torn up certain parts of the bill, rights, Constitution, et cetera, it doesn't mean it can't be. You know, if we the people believe it and make it happen, we can kind of have the comeback. I mean we could. It's not over just because they've tore up some of the First Amendments, second Amendment, fourth Amendment, whatnot. There could be new Supreme Court cases, there could be new ways to, you know, fight against what maybe. You think is unjust. So that's the way to make. I got one for you. You're making me think about one. I got one for you. It might be lurking out there. I'm hopeful that it's making its way to the Supreme Court, and it's gonna be a challenge to the nineteen I think seventy two or seventy four Impoundment Act, where Congress put Onto and Nixon I think accepted might have been Ford. You know this idea that if Congress appropriates the money the present, it must spend it. The Impoundment Act basically prohibited the president impounding funds. So even if Congress had budgeted for the expense, the president, with his treasury could manage the finances of the US government. If the Impowment Act gets overturned, and it's only you know, a president since the seventies and no one's ever challenged it. If that gets overturned, we have a perfect mechanism where we could vote for president who say I'm going to cut spending, because then they'd have the power again. And early in the you know, history of the United States, presidents frequently didn't spend what Congress had appropriated. They didn't see they didn't see it as necessary. They took the job of you know, balancing the budget unto themselves. It was only since the end of the early seventies we've been stuck in this loop which has brought us to forty trillion in debt. Wow, I love it. I was not expecting that at all, and that would be a huge thing. I got to keep an eye on that. That's I'm about to do some more research and hope for the best. All that that could be huge. That could be huge. Now will it effectively matter, since every president wants to spend as much money as possible politically, maybe maybe not. Maybe people will get so sick of the debt that actually trying to balance the budget or attempting to hold Congress could be very politically popular. I don't know, man, I hope so we'll see. Yeah, well, because of the Apartment Act, you know, both parties have played a game on us for you know, almost sixty years, which is, you know, they always pass these budgets and they all shrugg and be like, well, we have to spend it. That's what we did. We passed it. Right now, the pressure will be on the president like all the waste and fraud and wasteful spending, we'll go on to his or her shoulders. Right because Congress passed it, doesn't mean you have to spend it. You know, a much more sensible way to run the executive powers. It's honestly like this at this point, it's the Congress about half of what it authorizes is spending. The rest is debt spending. So in a way, the Congress opens up the credit limit. But you don't need to rack up the bills all the way to that credit limit every single year, do you Well we have been, but you know that's supposed to be the upper bound of your spending. This is what Congress authorized, not the minimum and maximum. At the same time, that's kind of what we're saying here, but. It becomes so accepted and all the people that were in power right or we're beginning their political careers when that Empowerment Act was passed in the early seventies just all took it as that's the way it is. I'm thinking back for George HW. Bush because during his presidency he was pushing for the line item veto, probably because he didn't have a Supreme Court that would wipe out a precedent like that we do now. He did not have it then, so he was pushing for a line item veto where a giant budget bill would come to the president and he can pick pieces of it to veto, and then if it went back to Congress and if they could pass it with a supermajority, the president would be overruled, but he can basically veto out items didn't want to spend on. And of course that went nowhere in the early nineties. All right, well, we've got a few minutes left my I'm not going to say realization, but something that I've been putting a lot of thought onto with two hund fifty years of seventeen seventy six is how short of a period that really is, and it's really NBC guy brought it up himself, so hey, I'm not being ageist here. He brought it up himself that he's I think sixty nine years old and he's lived almost one third of the entire history of America. And I've met this man of the United States of America. I've met him. He's sprised, a badass. He's not that old, I feel like, and he's almost a third of the age of this country. That just means this country is so young, which is a good thing in my book, meaning it's not over yet. We could still grow through this. It's like this is a teenage growth spurt, potentially not the end, right. That's kind of my odd analogy, but I really believe it, Like, holy cow, twohure and fifty years is not that long. And then I'm hopeful that I'll make it to July fourth, twenty seventy six, the tri centennial, and at that point I will have lived almost one third of the period of the entire United States. Which is crazy. How short of a time period that is. That's kind of was my epiphany or whatever. Just setting the goal to be here for the try centennial. It's it's outstanding. I wish you the best in that that would be a long. One, thank you, sir. That's the goal. Got to be healthy, but we also got to keep the freaking country here. So I'll be fighting that next fifty years for sure. Yeah. And let you know, the majority of you know, very young people, you know, understand that history didn't start when you were born, right right, you know, and that that unfortunately, I mean, that's how you get Socialism can get someone who you know, when the word cold war goes past them, they they've heard it a bunch of times and never even asked what it was. And to them, two hundred fifty years sounds like a bajillion trillion years. But the more educated you are, the more you're like, wow, that's just a drop in a bucket compared to human civilization three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand years. Two hundred and fifty is very new experiment, which I think it's a good thing. It means, you know, they can't extinguish this flame yet. I think, you know, if they pile on us for a few more generations and everyone gives up and doesn't fight back for a few generations maybe, but we ain't there yet, so that heartens me. There yep, yeah, the anonymous they slipped slipped in there. But we'll go. We'll go if there's a they out there, whatever they lets even the reds Coats, yes, even. And the Hashians, yeah, both of them. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's a season premiere for Patriot Power or Well Again, episode three fifty two. Yes, sir, three fifty two, season opener. I think it's in the bag. It was a good one. July second, twenty twenty six. Everybody, have a great fourth of July two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our great Republic. And we will be back next week Wednesday Thursday time frame base. But let the course something breaks, something seriously bad breaks, we'll be on Good show, Ben Good show, fellow patriot, Catch you later, guys, have a great fourth
