Patriot Power Hour #364

You are now listening to the Patriot Power Hour, the newest show of the Prepper Broadcasting Network. This live episode features the situational awareness you need to practice self-reliance and independence. Introducing your hosts, Ben, the Breaker of Banksters, and Future Dan, the editor of FutureDanger.com. Patriot Power Hour. We are live. It's October 1st. 2026, that's correct. The start of Q4 and the start of fiscal year 2027. It's episode 364. I'm Ben the Breaker. Bankster's here with Future Dan. Yeah, yeah. And we got an interesting news environment tonight. But there's a lot of other news that's not necessarily on the heat map dashboard, which we are looking at live on video tonight. And before we get into the heat map dashboard, I want to check with you what topics... concern you. Well I kept this not a secret necessarily but uh we had connected just before we went live and I'm like I got a topic and when you hear it you're gonna be like oh yeah no shit of course that's what Ben wanted to talk about but what it is is fiscal year 2027 has begun fiscal year 2027 has begun and according to my calculations we've already incurred how much debt you think today so far future Dan. In this day? Okay. It's on the order of hundreds of billions by now. Not beyond that. So low hundreds, maybe high. Five-digit. I don't know. Just today. I think you meant hundreds of millions, but it's actually more. So just today, according to my calculations... As of today, about 6 p.m. Eastern time, not even one full day of fiscal year 2027, the federal government is already $ 3. 88 billion in debt just because of this morning and this afternoon, future Dan. Okay, we're not running up into the tens or hundreds of billions yet? Not yet. Maybe, you know, a year or two from now, they really get that Zimbabwe inflation. But no, no, it wasn't that much. Thank God. I mean... We had $ 2 trillion in debt or more, actually, last fiscal year. So, by God, that's enough already. All right. All right. We're going to play stump to jump, and I got one for you. Oh, my gosh. All right. Go for it. All right. How many weeks of exported Iranian oil is at sea right now? And how many weeks before that number is zero? Wow. So take the daily output of Iran's oil and how many of that is actually at sea right now? That's zero right now. I'm talking about what's left on the sea that can go to refineries before. There is none out there. I was going to say zero. This is a trick question, probably. Or maybe like two tankers are somehow out there or something. I was going to say zero. Is that right? Well, they're not down to zero ships. But at the rate that they could be taken into China and other places in Asia offloaded, it's a matter of weeks. In fact, it's purely well-timed to be arriving like two weeks before midterms. Officially dwindled down to zero. They have zero income from petroleum going on in Iran. Well, I mean, that's mission accomplished, I guess. How's that going to help $ 5 billion of debt in half of a day, though? I don't know, but it might seriously collapse an evil regime on Earth. Long-term dividend for that is untold millions of lives. Maybe, unless something worse gets in there, but we've talked about that before. I just It doesn't mean something better is going to get in. That's all. I agree, but if it even resembled how much better Iraq is from before Saddam Hussein, that's a lot better. It's a lot better. That's true. There's levels to this game. It doesn't have to be zero or one. I think as we enter October, beginning of the fiscal year, with a month plus a few days until the midterms, Buckle up. Buckle up. There's going to be some stuff that was designed to be the ultimate October surprises. It's not like considered when I was young about a dirty trick, information withheld, right? Right. Obviously. Scandal. And to the positive, like things that were attempted in the 80s and the 70s, only dreamt of to be manipulated. Trump watched all that. And this is the last shot he's got. he's probably going to try to pull off some big ones. I think, I think big moves in Iran might be part of that soon. Well, we got, uh, guess what? Four episodes after today's between now and the election. We'll have to see. And we'll probably do our Tuesday night election special. I don't know. We'll collaborate with the tripping commander and the rest of the network. Maybe they'll have a whole day of midterm, uh, but it is October 1st. It's darn close to election day in early November. So there you go. And I think we're going to see a revolution in military affairs or, or, or what that's what the think tanks in DC call it, right? It's already underway. It's, you know, widely. Understood that, you know, drone warfare is now mainstay major effort in, in, in, in at least low intensity warfare. all the new pipelines going into the Middle East, all the, you know, defenses that have to be made to defend that oil infrastructure is going to put everybody on Ukraine's side of the map, literally. Because they're the biggest testbed for years, right? Will remain the biggest testbed, right? They're going straight against the Russian technology. Iran, us against the Chinese technology mostly, right? And Russian. It's, it's, we're going to come out the winners on the tech side. I'm pretty sure. And I, it makes me question, you know, how long can Iran be kept at like zero exports of oil? Cause that might be part of the plan that none comes out of the Persian Gulf now or why? Yeah. I mean, even if they released the blockade in like a hundred percent, everything's released. There's so much damage to the infrastructure. It would take, like a decade to get up to like 70% of what they used to have capacities. So I'm spitballing here, but there's massive capital assets, massive real world assets that can't just be created because, you know, you, you change a number in the ledger. It takes years and years of real construction, real project management, millions of man hours, you know, scientists, engineers, all that stuff. So yeah, big, uh, It's going to take them a while to get back, even if we literally stopped it today. But if they keep the choke hold up, it's only going to get worse, yeah. And who's the target of this, right? What direction on a X, Y linear chart do you think Chinese military capability is going without being the recipient of Iranian oil? Well, one target, whether it's on purpose or not, is just general humanity because there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who die because of these higher prices worldwide. So that has to be factored into the equation. Just the extra people starving to death from all this worldwide. So keep that in mind. I don't know of any famines that are taking anywhere close to that amount of life right now. It'd be on the heat map dashboard if that was happening. So I think the needle on that line chart is going down. I think China is going to be the weakest possible position by 2028 ever attempt something like taking over Taiwan. This, this entire effort in Iran is diminishing the war fighting strength of Russia and China. That's very true. It's yeah. I mean, it's, multi calculated, you know, it's just like so many layers to it. I'll tell you other. Part of me doesn't, I just don't trust the leaders of pretty much all governments or even the military since so many are known pedophiles and Epstein type people all. Across the world. So I don't trust their plan and grand strategy as much as some people may. But I'm just looking at results, but I can tell you if famine struck, and if you're talking about from a humanitarian point of view, that that would be happening in China or Russia and danger. Carries both of those countries, starvation in either of those countries. As a discreet danger to track because their governments have nuclear weapons and the collapse of a nuclear armed government, right? Soviet Union fell apart. Luckily that fell apart without, you know. Various dangerous things happening. We know nukes got loose, apparently never successfully reused against us. But, you know, obviously the, you know, We've got dangerous times. I also think that there's a little bit less heated news. Very atypically, in the many years that we've done Patriot Power Hour, it seems like that summer was a little bit more dangerous than at least the beginning of fall. Summer was pretty dangerous, and the dashboard isn't totally out of control right now. I would agree that we're definitely not in a more dangerous place right now than we were two months ago. And that almost never happens. We're almost always seemingly more of a tougher position in October than like July, not this year would say that. Sort of a news phenomenon happening in the economics. And, and, and we're sort of starting to run out of headlines on the massive surge in government treasury rates that we saw in September. It's still hovering around the same kind of 20-year highs, 24-year highs. Maybe 28-year highs. I don't see articles for record highs, not any kind of true record, like all-time high. So I kind of want to go there first on economics. How do we handle that on the heat map dashboard if there's sort of a news fatigue? They're still at the rate that they surged to, but I guess they don't seem like they've continued surging. Or maybe there's headlines tonight that we got to talk about because they aren't even on the HEMAP dashboard yet. I would say, let's look at the treasury, treasury yields right now. For example, they haven't gone up week over week. So in theory, they hit their 20 year peak last week and they're flat. And so I get that fatigue sort of thing. And especially like if it's the same next week and the week after, So if it maintains right here, it's not really a new flashing item, but it is just every week taking away real wealth out of the economy. But it's not, it would actually show up in other indicators that, you know, whether that's the inflation rate, whether that's maybe even higher bankruptcies, higher unemployment at the same time, stagflation, kind of what I think could happen with these. So we're already having the inflation, and then if the rates go up, you're getting the stagflation. But with regard to all-time high rates, got to go back to the early 80s, late 70s, really when Reagan got in and raised the rates just crazy amounts to fight the rampant inflation. And so we're certainly not at that level now. But the thing is, we had a minuscule debt, both as consumers and as a government and corporate. Right now, literally, if we were seeing 10%, 15%, 20% mortgage rates, the housing market would have to crash 60% or 70% to make it the same payment. And if that happens, it's going to have some negative knock-on effects. If it doesn't happen, then a lot of other things are going to break. So it's a whack-a-mole. Yeah, I got you. Is this Treasury Secretary stuck its thumb in the dike and it hasn't blown over yet, or it's actually crisis averted. At least for the remainder of this year. I don't know why these guys want to actually get in there. Maybe they're just power hungry, or maybe they get kickbacks, or maybe they think they can change things, but like Powell, back when he was in, right? Warsh, and Bissette, and all of them. It's like, you guys have no real chance of stopping this freight train that's running you down, but, but you can at least try, or maybe they think they do have a way out or they're just, you know, the, the fall man. And they're there. They've accepted that rule or they're, you know, maybe there's something else up their sleeve for real, but, uh, yeah, this is, uh, let's just say that the rates gone up big time since beset and worship been in. And guess what? That's the exact opposite of what Trump wants. And that's exact. So, he's even expressed a little bit of dismay with them, even though they're his boys. So he hasn't totally dumped them yet, but he never. What's the surge is, you know, flattening off and maybe even starts to climb down for the rest of the year. Is that crisis averted or just, you know, whack-a-mole it's, you know, is there some other pressure point that's gonna have to go bad for that to happen? I've, I'll just say it's more of a whack-a-mole. So, okay, fine. We go from 5.25% down to 4.75%. That's a huge drop. That had to be a huge drop compared to what it is right now. And that's still way too high. The government would still be paying more than $ 1 trillion in interest every year, higher than the Pentagon budget is going on to interest on the debt. I don't know about you, but mortgages and loans, credit cards, all that, like, I want my interest payment to be as close to zero as possible. So having the largest thing of your household budget being to pay the interest is a bad thing. Yep. Households and sovereign governments might not be exactly the same, but I understand the parallel. Yeah. Well, they've been stretched so far. So like 30 years ago, there was the big deviation from households versus governments. But the government's already used up most of its credit, in my opinion. That makes it so special. But hey, we got the nukes. We got the military. We got the drones. We got UFOs. In the end, what is the reserve currency backed by? Military force. So there you go. Yeah. Some of that could affect us sooner than we think. How about we do the Blitzkrieg? You ready to Blitzkrieg the news? Let's do it. Start with economics. Treasury yields. Fresh highs. But only a little bit, and they backed off. But still, interest rates. Interest rates very high. Check out your local mortgage rates. 16 American trucking companies filed for bankruptcy. We'll be watching that. I'm thinking bankruptcies could be picking up over time. That's a big indicator we've got to put an eye out for. But otherwise, economic calm is empty right now. Nothing's been fixed, but we're not seeing things blowing apart right now. Knock on wood. I want to keep my job. Let's go to the health and natural news type of column. Only one here, but it's Congolese politician beaten to death after calling for Ebola prevention as his province suffers sharp rise in cases over the last few months. We've covered actually this entire summer major Ebola breakout. I believe it was near like a thousand dead, but Politicians talking about the prevention, and guess what? He's beaten to death. Oh, wow. All right. Let's go to the Liberty column. Mayor candidate of a small California town found guilty on nine counts of election fraud. ICE adds major commercial data layer to identity targeting systems. Definitely want to read that article later. I've already opened it for future review. California imposes safety education on new firearm ownership. Protection orders, firearms training, and 3D printing laws are among several anti-Second Amendment bills signed by the California governor. Again, the mandatory safety and firearms training, protection orders, and 3D printing laws. All this signed by California governor. What up? Jay Ferg's in the chat. Jay Ferg, how you doing? Shout out. One more column for this news blitz, and we'll bring future Dan back in. Mystery erupts as U.S. spy satellite explodes. Space Force will not rule out an attack. Under clandestine space combat suspected. Speaker of the House concedes pushback against data centers is Chinese. PSYOP. So, all right. Pushback actually is a Chinese PSYOP, Mike Johnson claiming. Secretary of War orders Cyber Command to and different intel agencies to counter foreign threats during the midterms, getting that ramped up. Chinese spies target the Federal Reserve. Oh, the poor Fed. We should feel bad for them. No, there is a lot of economic impact and espionage and sabotage that Chinese spies can perpetrate through the Federal Reserve and, of course, Treasury agencies. Inside and outside threats is what I would expect. Carrier strike group number nine. Sales for CENTCOM AOR. Carrier strike group nine. Didn't know that they numbered them. Thought it was like the Nimitz strike group or the Lincoln strike group. But that just shows how much I know. 44% of political opponents are okay with violence to stop a president. Yikes. Super scary. Not just a president. The president. It's not like theoretical. Senate campaign office vandalized. Future Dan, that's the news blitz for today. October 1st, 2026. Where do you. Want to go? Yeah, I'd like to just walk through every one of these. A little bit. All right. Let's go. I'll start with the first one I opened. Why not? ICE's $ 125 million Reuters, Thompson Reuters, yep, that Reuters, adds a data layer to identity targeting systems. One bid award follows sole source reversal as HSI expands screening, link analysis, and interoperability with investigative and biometric platforms. Future Dan, what does that mean? What is this about? I'll tell you one thing it's about is ICE's procurement activity is going to get questioned. And if the Democrats take power of one or both houses, which many are saying right now they expect to have happen, there's going to be investigations on how ICE is buying things. Now, on the privacy side, this. Is one of those double-edged swords, right? You want less illegal immigration, you want enforcement and to have meaning like all patriots do, then what ICE is accomplishing is a net positive for the same apparatus that learns how to buy massive volumes of all the commercial data that you click that box to accept the terms and conditions and then whatever freeware you're using ships all your personal data to Thomson Reuter and then it gets sold to the government And it's used to target you. Real double-edged sword there. Well, that's why similar to any technology or program, military, police force, got to have strong guidelines and they have to be enforcement to make sure it abides by the Constitution, abides by what the people demand and need. Instead of, I mean, there's just the clear slippery slope aspect, but the straight takeover later on by authoritative totalitarian evil regime is, you know, also a problem to look into or be prepared for. And so, I mean, I agree with that. What do you think ICE would, let's just see like with Palantir and with ICE as an example, in the last couple of years, they've gotten a lot of power, a lot of money have been going their way. They've been effective as well, but do you think that's been too close or even past the red line of freedom? Or is this totally fine because, in particular, these are not citizens of the United States? On that spectrum, is it a little too far for you, or do you think they're within the bounds of your current assessment? Yeah. Name is many different types of tools that you can think of. It can be converted into weapons. And then it goes to the very common idea that the hand that wields it turns it into a tool or a weapon, right? And we vote for those hands. So elections matter. Denying a tool to become a weapon from the wrong hand is how a patriot votes, in my opinion, my humble opinion. Party affiliations, all that. No. Who do you want to have these tools of power? Because you're not going to uninvent AI. You're not going to uninvent warfighting intelligence, fusion technology, which is fundamental to winning modern warfare. You've got to have those tools. It was always going to become reused in federal law enforcement and elsewhere, commercial. You can't stop the tech, right? So you've got to put it in the hands of the people that can be trusted with it. It's the only solution. Or at least the people that, how would I say it, that are the least likely to abuse it. Because I don't think any of them would be trusted in my book. They shouldn't be, of course. But some of them are a lot less likely to be trusted, if that makes sense. But ask yourself, is there one political party right now that can gain those tools, abuse them widely, and all of their constituency would pretend like it never happened? And is there one party where most of its voters would question that and condemn it. It's clear. We have a two-party system. One party is exactly like I talked about, and the other one is exactly like I talked about. Makes it an easy decision for me to vote, honestly. Always against Democrats. Every chance I breathe and I can vote against Democrats. Got to keep those tools out of their hands. I mean, I can understand that. I've come around towards that a lot more lately, but still going backwards. It's like, okay, do I want to go backwards one step or 5,000? Yeah. Going backwards one step is way better, but I want to start fucking going forward. Like, what can we do to go forward? I don't know. It's kind of a defeatist. Congress would have to tighten regulations about all the privacy-destroying technologies. And that day may come. Keep advocating for it. I think it'll reach a culmination. Flock cameras are a big step in that direction of a national convention that, you know, we're not going to be bailed. We're not going to be monitored. We're not going to give up our personal data and liberty at will, you know, anymore and build those promers. But then again, now that's federal interference in the free economy, too. What I would really actually like to see is just more amount. Of people, not just... comply with being a digital slave. That would end it the right way. There you go. I like to hear it. Well, let's pick another article. How about it? Mystery erupts as US spy satellite explodes. Space Force won't rule out an attack. That's dangerous. Could you check the archive for me? I'm not sure it's ever gotten graded that overt. It's not black on red, but If Space Force comes out and announces that it was struck by an adversary, even if they don't say who, that's an act of war in space. Dangerous. I was reading the... They used to call it the Twittersphere. I don't know what the heck they call it now. But I was on X a little bit reading some stuff. And people are speculating like this is a target. This is the equivalent of the U.S. towing out an old... 70-year-old destroyer, naval destroyer, and testing missiles on it. It's like, okay, this satellite's been up there since, I believe, 1988. It's a big national reconnaissance. My guess is it's the size of a bus. It's a very large satellite, and it's been up there forever. Was it a target, or was it actually a very valuable asset that was destroyed by an adversary? Totally different. outcomes or kind of like situations based on one of those? Or is it something totally else? Here's something to think about. The Navy and the Space Force have that Star Trek kind of thing in common, right? They can float in their domains. They can be there. In fact, in space, once you put something up there, now you've got to work hard to get it to burn up into the atmosphere. Disposing of it becomes challenging. So I would say you're parallel with a 1970s destroyer that's going to be used as target practice. That's a decommissioned ship, but you don't really ever decommission anything in space. It's still there, which means somebody might have taken a sucker shot at it to make a point, and if they did, they shot at our stuff right now now it's kind of on a prestige level where it can't be ignored it can't be ignored well. That would change my entire outlook on this dashboard if it was a real threat actor that did it that's kind of a smack to the face like I would be much more concerned where we are here on October 1st. So if that goes from grade 2, red, to grade 1, because Spacecom admits it, that's a serious danger sign. Because that's getting into the types of things we talk about as phase. 0 before war. That entire line of things that would happen that you couldn't hide. Most of the international related future danger indicators and column two security are going to be on those, you know, phase zero pre major war kind of, kind of activities, knocking each other's stuff out in space definitely is in that. It's not a good sign. And if we saw another one of these happen anytime in the near future, I mean, would you start implementing some of your prepper plans? Would you go stock up at the grocery store? We saw another satellite blow up like that. Plan zero could be going or stage zero. I'm sorry. I forgot exactly what you called it, but. If it started to escalate, then that's when other indicators start going black on red, right? National emergencies declared other, other laws invoked, uh, continuity of operations, people departing Washington, DC, like, if this is like the tip and if it goes black on red and then fades, then it was like definitely worth paying attention to. Cause if it goes black on red, even if it starts to fade and all these others come quickly afterwards, obviously something's going down. Something's going down this historical and dangerous. That's what we try to keep that, uh, Big picture while also very micro lens here on Patriot Power Hour. We're looking at weeks, months, years. In fact, even a decade or more back in time. But we're also here every week on Thursdays running through this dashboard. Anything else you wanted to hit on with space warfare? I could talk about. That was the most heated indicator that's ever been there. That's a record. Records that are on heat. There's never been a grade two red. There were. Yes, there were a couple that were rated that high, but it was not an actual destruction. It was, for example, the Space Force chief warns that China and Russia are deploying space weapons to attack U.S. satellites. That was in March 2023. So that's a warning that did deserve it. But this is the first time we've actually seen the satellite explode like this. Yeah, so three years later, there's reason to believe that they're using that. And they would do that as lines not to cross, barriers for us not to push, threats that we've made that none of us know about because they're completely classified and will be for 50 years are happening. In fact, we have so many articles to hit today, but we've got a lot of new people joining us. Shout out to everybody on Rumble, on X, and I believe we are on Kik as well, Pepper Broadcasting Network. I saw a couple more of these headlines going back in time that I wanted to touch on because they're, even though most of them are low grade, you've been tracking this. You have at least 60, 70, 80 headlines going back to 2017. So folks, if you really want to go down the rabbit trail, I suggest go to future danger.com. Click on the clandestine space combat suspected. Go read. Most of these links are still active. Some are broken. You know, the main site that we linked to is, is, uh, took them down or whatever, but long story short, you can build such a chain of events here. And there's been a lot of signals, a lot of smoke signals out there about Russian, especially China building up their offensive forces in, in space of the last decade. And now we might be seeing that into fruition. Hopefully not because that's a big time escalation. If so, it's sort of, uh, you know, just the taboo of not hitting each other's stuff in space. Cause so expensive, uh, so sensitive. It's sort of getting broken. It's like everything up in that orbit is now, it's just a drone. Either it's in the atmosphere, maybe even under the ocean. It could be anywhere from ground or sea all the way to space. If it's unmanned, you're fighting a lower level of warfare because the population's at home. There's no blood, right? There's no casualties. There's no caskets. So you can knock your unmanned autonomous platforms out as a sort of pre-war. It's definitely not a stable position. To be in right now. It'll lead to casualties if we and other major peer adversaries are knocking out each other's autonomous systems like this. I don't care if it was an old satellite. That's a Russian and Chinese thing to do is set a precedent. Show the rest of the world that they're not afraid to do it to us. And this comes just two weeks after Air Force Secretary acknowledges American space control weapons are already in orbit. Now, that doesn't mean they blow up the satellites. They could just blind them forever, right? Kind of think about a big flash into your eyes and just blinds you forever. That's the equivalent on these very sensitive cameras, etc. I'm wondering if. I'm actually wondering if Biden under Biden, most of Russia's best surveillance stuff wasn't all obliterated. That would go to explain how they utterly failed to invade Ukraine. Like literally hours before the land invasion, when it was a hundred percent ago, they just took them all out in space that morning or something. Oh, I don't know. Maybe somebody probably not Biden himself, but someone made the call to just, that's it. We got our orders ahead of time. Just wipe out Russian space assets if they start attacking Ukraine. You know? Ten hours later, after that invasion, yeah, everything in space went away. Remember how the armies were, like, deep into Ukraine, but then just trapped and stranded? You know, not having satellite navigation. At that point wouldn't, you know... I don't think they had it. I don't think... People say, oh, it was just jammed. We have good jammers, right? It's true. We got the electronic warfare, but we got the weapons of space announced now. Well, there's more and more commercialization in space, and we already talked about our economy being on a little bit of a thin ice, let's call it. So if the GPS system was blown to hell, yeah, let's just say that'd be trillions of dollars of damage to the American economy over a decade period until they could get another one working. So that by itself, the civilian impact of this space warfare, if it didn't go beyond space warfare, is still really bad. But obviously if other indicators on future danger and other theaters of war and ways to wage war kicked off, that's even worse. I can tell you that, you know, stuff that SpaceX is doing and just the, you know, the basic premise of things That could be militarily accomplished. It was white papers. They weren't even classified. Things about, for example, using rail guns to throw microsatellites into space. To recede space after. All of our, after everything that's up there gets wiped out, right? Right. So some of that wiping out. Of all the old infrastructure, you know, can we get up there and put, seed it again with satellites? There's the whole question of, like, how much debris is up there, right? There's a lot of junk there now. It's getting bad. True. Especially low Earth orbit. That's the main area they're concerned about. We love analogies and metaphors and all those different types of things here on the show. I was thinking, imagine massive mainframes and desktop computers, clunky, huge, really expensive, but they were built over all the years. And then you just destroy them all. and then everybody gets a shipment of brand-new iPads and laptops. It's like, oh, yeah, we just replaced our entire space capability with all brand-new stuff, microsatellites, all types of... It's not going to be for free, but I get where you're coming from. It's like, you know, the breakthrough alone in Starlink is just crazy. And we're doing the exact same thing with the Interceptors. Everything that Russia and China gave or taught Iran how to build. it has been thrown West. It's always West. And we depleted now by, you know, public accounts, right. Classified and the leakers are going to get prosecuted, but it's now, you know, now, now known just dumped all that interceptor technology, but you know, what comes behind it isn't going to be worst gear. It's going to be way better. Yep. That thought went right through my brain when I was kind of making that analogy. Cause I was like, yeah, future Dan already kind of. of mentioned this before with like upgraded weapons or using up the stores and replenishing them with version 2.0 or 8.0 or which I don't know. It's good and bad. It's a, it's an RMA. It's an RMA. If you got to look back through history to get a feel for it, a revolutionary in military affairs, uh, Like hoplites, getting the bronze, the spears, the shields, the helmets, getting into that formation and then marching around. That was a revolution, right? And it dominated. Dominated for a while. Even civilization, it's always going through these. It always has. Can't stop it. If you're a believer in market economics, free enterprise, market economics, there. Will inevitably be boom and bust. How bad? How bad we can prevent it from being, how good can we make it, that's a different matter. But boom, bust cycle, there's natural parts of economic behavior that should be recognized as outside of the control of anybody. Can't be centrally planned, right? Same thing goes for military affairs. Sometimes these revolutions come and you really have no choice but to stay. Ahead of them. And what makes it interesting to live in this time I would say what, from like the mid 1800s till now, they've had like three or four of these revolutionary military total change in how wars fought. Whereas before it would take like a hundred years or 300 years or a thousand years between each major, major increase in military, but also all types of technology. I mean, they didn't even have an airplane 115 years ago or whatever. It's not that long, 115 years. Now look what we got. So it's definitely the quickening. And the last little point is what I'm always concerned about is we always go for the boom, but they've artificially engineered out the bust. But in my opinion, there's no such thing as a free lunch. So the longer they try to defer it and get away with the little bit of a kick in the can and a little bit of a corruption scam, like it's going to make it worse, especially if it happens at the same time as one of these revolutions in that regard. So. That's right. It's not going to be a reset. It's going to be a reckoning. I'm with you there. Hey, let's pound through some more articles. Wrap this up. There's so many interesting pieces of news. Yes, sir. I agree 100%. All right. Mike Johnson claims AI doomsday warnings are a Chinese psyop. That's sort of kind of been the take of Patriot Power Hour with a couple caveats. But what's your take here on the latest with data centers and what is it? real threat to freedom and humanity, the data centers, or is it actually exactly what we need and China's just trying to brainwash us or somewhere in between? I'll say this. The amount of people who are eligible voters who have spent the proportion of their lives using modern handheld technology, which undoubtedly truncates attention spans, means that you know, if the Trump administration has the goods and otherwise, the time to actually bring out the facts that Johnson would be briefed on would be like a week before the election. Right. Right. Because that horizon is so short. You would almost, you know, I would almost think naturally like, oh, you want at least a month ahead so you could fully permeate and like, no, people forget by then is kind of your point, right? And if, and heck, Seth, you know, a different article I'll jump to right now is Hegseth ordering the military surveillance infrastructure, Cyber Command, NSA, to overtly watch for any interference in our elections. That's what they're doing this time. They're not going to be fooled again, right? So how are the Democrats spinning this? Are they going to say that there's a fraud on the Republican side? I guess that would be their default. Like, oh, well, now they're going to use the military-industrial complex and the defense intelligence agency and the NSA to cheat on behalf of Trump. I'm sure that's what they're trying to say. What's your take there? I don't care what they say. That and a billion of the worst things they can think of is exactly what they're going to say. True, yeah. They can come up with better stuff than that. Even we could waste our time trying to imagine. They're not bound by having to prove a single thing they say to each other. It's a completely different paradigm. Any of that could be said. But I'd like to see some classified evidence that just lays it bare. It's like, look at this, China. Look at this world. We caught you doing this. Right. And pop that off two weeks before the election. That's purely... multiple times over verifiable to anyone who even takes a chance. And yeah, a good third of the population will say it's fake without looking at it. They don't care, but we're not worried about them at this point. Frog March, a ring of Chinese spies into a courthouse, you know, and that you could have arrested two years ago, but you saved it till now. Right. Yeah. I understand the gamesmanship and how important it is to do the right thing at the right time. And like you said, It's a short attention span, but. Yeah, yeah. None of this happened when I was a kid because, let's be honest, people then... Attention spans were better, right? There was no handheld electronics. There's no endorphin rushes for getting some kind of accomplishment in the last eight seconds off of an app, right? You know? You had to wait the next day to read the newspaper. Like, holy cow. Or watch the nightly news and then talk about the fucking rest of the summer because. Like you were saying, the quickening. Can't bomb people with new, wild, different things. In the age of AI, there's just constantly new things to attract attention, right? It would be stupid to bring out the most consequential things if you had control of them until immediately before the election. I'll tell you what, though. If I'm right and the administration could do it and it matters, you're going to hear Democrats screaming about it for a while. I guess that means every single show from here on out for the next month is going to be exponentially more important, although I'd say every show is quite important. Future Dan, we got another 10 minutes or so for the show. What's the next article you want to hit on? Whatever you want, Ben. Tour de Forces. Boom. Do a hot take on all these. All right. Man, it is dangerous and there's multiple articles about it. Don't know how much I want to even comment upon it, but California imposing safety education. Okay. That sounds reasonable on the high level, but let's just say it hit trickles down from then. And it's not the only thing there's a 10 gun bills signed into law. Hey, in that, you know, on one hand is from an academic standpoint, super important to fight each of these one at a time, but from a practical standpoint, like, what do you do when living in California? If you're living there, get the heck out of there. I know it's not that easy, but, um, But here's my final point. I want to hear what you have to say. A lot of other states and jurisdictions follow California. So do you think you'll be seeing some of this trickle out? Well, of course, the Illinois and New Jersey's of the world. But now we see other jurisdictions and big in the news is Virginia. But there's a lot of other states and jurisdictions where they're clamping down on the Second Amendment. They're not coming for your guns. I don't know. Maybe they are. What do you say? I think there's a lot more chances to just roll back anti-Second Amendment state law. So the more they do this, the more. It gets to the Supreme Court, the more you get major rulings like Heller, the more they just grind all this into nothing and they run out of things that they can ban in their states. What else you got? Man, I hope so. That's optimal. I like it. I like it. We got. Let's see. How about the Chinese spies targeting the Fed? This is CNBC itself, so this is no conspiracy, blah, blah, blah. No, on CNBC, the JPMorgan rag itself. Inside Man, how Chinese spies use lies, love, and betrayal to target the Federal Reserve. This is a 21-minute video. I have not seen this. I might just have to watch this. It might make me throw up. future Dan, but there you go. Yeah. If that place is getting spied on, they have obviously too much power. That's all I, that's all I can say. So at a high level, John Harold Rogers was walking his tiny Spaniel in the suburban Washington neighborhood when FBI agents surrounded him and took into custody faced with charges of spying for China and 65-year-old economist. And yeah, let's just say they believe China helped him, of course, with his career, his finances, and a marriage to a woman 24 years his junior. I guess, you know, you're a 65-year-old economist named John Harold Rogers, and then you're scoring some young hot Chinese chick. It might need to be investigated because it seems like we're seeing that a lot. Yeah. It's it may major aspects of warfare are constantly going on. It's, it's a cold war with China to not as cold as the, first cold war where there was no very little economic interchange here. The economic interchange is largely untouched, but the rest of it's just like the Soviet Union with us. So I want to get a little bit more into the detail. So let's see. He, this person, uh, Rogers met a Chinese government spy in 2013 at a conference and sponsored by the Federal Reserve of Dallas on Fudan University, one of China's elite business colleges. So what the hell is the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas doing at a conference in Shanghai? Just leave that to the side. That's where this all began, and it goes throughout the story. I'm going to go watch this, definitely watch this 25-minute, I'll try to stomach it. Maybe it'll be good, maybe not. But again, this is not just a conspiracy or something. This is literally CNBC talking about it. What does that tell you, future Dan? It used to be people didn't even know what the Federal Reserve is. Now they're talking about Chinese spies. It's like it totally jumped the shark. Are they trying to lay a fall of the Fed that they could blame on Trump and Warsh and then they come up with a new central bank? It's about time for a new central bank. Where are we at? The Federal Reserve has been no secret since 2008. And Chinese spying has been maybe a little bit. Less known, but you didn't have to look hard to know that they're a major espionage opponent. The question I got for you is. How does one arrive at this conclusion that there's secret one world government that's actually controlling both sides of this? Square that and New World Order conspiracy with this for me. It all goes back to Hong Kong and the conquering of China by England and, of course, the Dutch East Indies and all that fun stuff. That small amount of money controls it still. But people in charge now, not colonial powers centuries ago. Like, how is there... I don't see how it's true. The great grandkids of that or somehow inherited it or fought for power through mergers, acquisitions, and sheer financial bank story. They get the Chinese communists to do what they want how? Well, it's been, in my opinion, over the last 30 years, they lost all their control over China. Now China probably has as much or more control over them, vice versa. Seems like China was given a lot more of this power. They started off getting stomped on and just, you know, hey, you're lucky we saved you from Japan. But years and years, decades and decades, obviously with Nixon, but then especially by Trump. 2008 and beyond, it's like, all right, now we're pretty much prostrating ourselves in front of China, giving you all this power. So the banksters, as I call them, still are like in charge or like co-partners, but they're not like the sole colonial power anymore, for sure. So I think we found an issue, could be unique, one of its kind in the history of Patriot Power Hour, where I'm going to disagree with you and probably be of the same opinion of a vast majority of living Chinese, which is to say they didn't take the power. They, they took it right. They weren't given it. They took it. It's a mix of that. They definitely tried really hard and they sacrificed massive amounts of their population to build. And, you know, for every one of their great students, there's several that collapsed in total, uh, and poverty, but they produced many brilliant people and stole a lot of great technology. So definitely with blood and sweat, they deserve some credit. Yeah. We let them have it. It's like we were up like 49 to nothing at halftime and we just kept giving the ball and letting them score touchdowns until now it's tied. It's like, what the hell? Well, I'm going to go with the worldview of history that the Soviet Union propped up Mao. Chinese communists took over. We've never been in control of either of them. No one in the West has ever partnered or secret puppet mastered or. Nope. I don't believe it. I believe communism and those regimes are real. I believe they really seize power. I believe they're the source unto themselves with no one outside of them other than them primarily at fault for mass murder in the 20th century. That's my view on this. Chinese spy on the Fed? Of course they are. Of course they are. Yeah, yeah. I just want to know why that Federal Reserve of Dallas was in Shanghai for a conference. Like, that's a perfect example of just like, even if I trusted the Fed to do the right thing, like they were active dub, just let the enemy recruit your economists. I mean, okay. supposed to be friendly to China or are they our enemy? Which one is it? They're doing it wrong both ways. You have to be good to be this bad almost. I'm not ignoring that. Not in the least. For sure. Nothing to talk about on Patriot Power Hour is simple or almost nothing simple or black and white. Some things are right and wrong. It can usually be pretty straightforward, but Anyway, I don't know. I digress. The show is nearly over. Future Dan, anything else you wanted to hit on before we roll out of here? Yeah. Can you read the pestilence headline that we have for Ebola one more time to me? And then I don't think we cracked that one open. If you haven't, take a guess at what the hell is happening there. Congolese politician beaten to death after calling for Ebola prevention. so it sounds like totally illogical right so let's dig into it and see why that would be illogical or if it is a senior member of the ruling party in the drc was assaulted by a mob robbed and beaten to death in his own neighborhood shortly after calling for stronger measures against the ebola outbreak i have a lot of things i can say about this but uh I don't know. Maybe they think it's corruption and this guy was just using it to get more power, COVID lockdown style. Or maybe these people are just think it's like evil devil spirits in Ebola. And this guy's like an evil shaman. Like, I don't know what these people even think or what their brain is even activated. Yeah. Yeah. Keep reading. It's interesting. All right. Let's see. The slain official, according to, I guess, official sources was an NFL Innocent victim having defended the party's position on the existence of Ebola and the threat it poses to the population. Angry mobs have attacked treatment centers on several occasions, especially when demanding the return of Ebola victims' bodies for traditional burial. So they're like, we want the traditional burial. You're encroaching on our religion. We must kill you. And they're like, it has Ebola, you idiots. You cannot have it. So that's a conflict of interest. Uh, I don't know. I don't want to read the whole thing. What did I miss? If you had to sum it up, you got the gist of it. Now, now go back and read our headline. It's he's getting killed as the pandemic worsens. And it's the only headline I've seen about that aspect of it. Rising deaths. This is tragic. This is, you know, the man that was killed. definitely needs to be remembered. He needs a statue and the number one way to prevent the spread of Ebola is to stay away from the corpses, which is not how they would prefer to do funerals. Sad, but true. And they don't have full control of this. People's family members are dying and they're still practicing in saying that the disease doesn't exist or bioweapon or it's possession demonic it's one thing I can say though is I don't think Ebola is anywhere near as dangerous as it was once feared to be because if you treat the corpses in a logical way you don't expose yourself to them it looks like they wouldn't even have anywhere near the casualties that they're having. And seemingly people Aren't going in until it's too late or at all. Number one, I scared, absolutely freaked out. I would be in number two. A lot of these clinics get attacked or like there's a lot of shortages of medical workers. So, you know, it's a 50% fatality rate. If it was in the Western medical system, maybe it would be 5%. but that really makes a difference. Right. Well, I think it's, I think it's 50% who forever, whoever gets it, the, the, you know, spreading is a different matter, but forever gets, whoever gets it, it's a one in two shot at dying and living under those conditions will produce this kind of exasperated out, you know, Somewhat illogical, but just desperate point of worldview, right? Think about. If we even had 25%, one of four kind of lethal weapon in the United States, you'd get that kind of thinking. You'd get that kind of behavior. And honestly, the COVID lockdowns and quarantines were. The beginning of that. If a real 25% killer came along, it would wouldn't resemble it would resemble madness like the ancient times of Rome when the entire city was sacked and everything was lost and everybody lost their minds you know that that kind of panic if we had something that deadly in the United States. That's exactly where my mind was going but I was going slightly different by saying the way we look at what's going on in DRC and Congo is how some of the majorly brainwashed Democrats and just freaks in general out there would consider us anti-vaxxers. Like, oh, we pretty much want to do this to Fauci. We pretty much don't want to, you know, we believe in witch doctors, not science, because we don't want to take the vax. Like, that's literally how a good portion of the population would think of people like us, or at least me. I don't speak for myself. So, like, that's, I don't know how, that's almost like reverse brainwashing or I can like, okay, I don't think this is happening with the Ebola over there in the cargo, but that's almost how the adversaries to me during the, uh, you know, whole vaccine in particular, but the lockdowns too, that's how a lot of them thought I was, you know, that's a lot of people would consider me to be just as backwards as these people in the cargo essentially. Yeah. With the disease, it, Everything becomes personal. Everything becomes warped, twisted, turned around, illogical, unscientific. Science perpetuating the unscientific. It's bad. Definitely, definitely. So there you go. You got to hope this administration is trying to, you know, resurrect a military-based capability. And we've talked about it on this. Show, read from other articles from other excellent sources in previous episodes about, you know, how somewhere in the 90s or early 2000s, I think under the Bush administration, most of this infectious disease defense went to the civilian side of the federal government. I'm pretty sure, you know, the president and the secretary of war, they've pretty much ordered it all back within the department of war. I mean, makes sense to me. It does. The most dangerous energy out there is nuclear, and that should be under the purview. Even though it's the DOE, Department of Energy, it's pretty much military. It's all on a military basis type of thing. The real stuff. And nuclear power plants might as well be military installations for national security. So same thing with bioweapons and just overall disease management and research, you know. whatever. You can outsource a lot of it to the universities, but as we saw, a lot of the universities are complicit, if not fully infiltrated by Russia, China, anyway. So, yeah, there you go. Yeah, the national labs, I think there's been a big tightening of security at the national labs. Those are run by these quasi-academic, quasi-federal contractor entities. Sandia National Lab, for example, there's several of them. And other companies that are you know, temporarily chosen to be, you know, acquiring everything for the lab, including all the people hiring to people. That's not like just UC Berkeley's lab. That's like government labs. And I think those are, you know, probably safer than they were under Biden and Obama. All right. Future Dan. I think that's what we got for episode three 64. Anything else you wanted to hit on real quick? We're going live every Thursday night, straight up to the elections. And we're in the fall season and reporting the news as we see it. Call the balls and the strikes. Time for the World Series, Ben. Call the balls and strikes over here on Patriot Power Hour. And those balls and strikes are, is it dangerous? How dangerous is it?
