11
00:01:22.489 --> 00:01:29.060
<v Speaker 1>Patriot Power Hour live once more, August 27th, 2026. Episode 359,

12
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:31.420
<v Speaker 1>Ben the Breaker Banksters here with Future Dan. What's going on,

13
00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Future Dan?

14
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:35.500
<v Speaker 2>We're almost at the end of the summer. Hottest months

15
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.269
<v Speaker 2>of the year behind us. Does look like with the temperatures,

16
00:01:40.549 --> 00:01:42.629
<v Speaker 2>some of the news we've seen in recent weeks is

17
00:01:42.709 --> 00:01:48.670
<v Speaker 2>cooling off a bit, especially in economics. We're getting, you know,

18
00:01:48.730 --> 00:01:51.810
<v Speaker 2>toward the crisis for the past couple of weeks with

19
00:01:51.829 --> 00:01:56.269
<v Speaker 2>the bond market, but that seems to have subsided. Or

20
00:01:56.290 --> 00:01:58.469
<v Speaker 2>maybe not. Are you seeing things under the surface that

21
00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:00.950
<v Speaker 2>aren't making it to the news radar?

22
00:02:00.969 --> 00:02:05.030
<v Speaker 1>We've got a heck of a dashboard we'll jump right into.

23
00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:09.409
<v Speaker 1>But speaking of economics and whether a financial crisis is

24
00:02:09.469 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in the offing, the banksters, meaning the Treasury Secretary in

25
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:19.659
<v Speaker 1>this case, they've kicked the can down the road successfully

26
00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:25.569
<v Speaker 1>here with doubling the purchases, the buyback. That's going to

27
00:02:25.629 --> 00:02:30.509
<v Speaker 1>start in September of debt. That's going to help support

28
00:02:31.389 --> 00:02:35.509
<v Speaker 1>the overall financial system. Make sure interest rates don't explode

29
00:02:35.710 --> 00:02:39.189
<v Speaker 1>crazy out of control. But they're also looking at tapping

30
00:02:39.229 --> 00:02:46.330
<v Speaker 1>a trillion dollar additional account for more bond buybacks. That'll

31
00:02:46.370 --> 00:02:50.009
<v Speaker 1>go longer term as well as probably more per month.

32
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:53.569
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I don't think the crisis has been averted.

33
00:02:54.189 --> 00:02:58.469
<v Speaker 1>or solved at the basic level, right? But it has

34
00:02:58.509 --> 00:03:02.460
<v Speaker 1>been successfully kicked, I guess. We'll find out. I don't

35
00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:05.219
<v Speaker 1>think we can say what's really going on until after

36
00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Labor Day, right? It's still August. People are back, but

37
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:11.099
<v Speaker 1>it's still light trading right now.

38
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

39
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>What else are you seeing? What else has been happening

40
00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:16.990
<v Speaker 2>that has drawn your attention, Ben?

41
00:03:18.969 --> 00:03:21.949
<v Speaker 1>The CIA director going to Russia, Ratcliffe.

42
00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.930
<v Speaker 2>Is that making you nervous? That makes you nervous?

43
00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:28.409
<v Speaker 1>No, it's actually the other way around. I'm like, oh,

44
00:03:28.449 --> 00:03:34.430
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're like meeting and trying to prevent total breakdown

45
00:03:34.509 --> 00:03:39.259
<v Speaker 1>of communication and resulting in escalation. That's what I'm hoping

46
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.340
<v Speaker 1>for if it's the other way around and they're like

47
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>really fighting it out in person, I guess. But I'm

48
00:03:44.699 --> 00:03:48.340
<v Speaker 1>more like hopefully they're trying to come up with a

49
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.409
<v Speaker 1>way to not blow each other up on accident.

50
00:03:51.389 --> 00:03:56.689
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember before the Trump presidency any CIA director

51
00:03:56.750 --> 00:04:02.389
<v Speaker 2>travels that were public. He uses CIA director that way

52
00:04:02.930 --> 00:04:06.569
<v Speaker 2>and comes right out and says it was semi-routine to

53
00:04:06.729 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>do it. On the other hand, you know, would you

54
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.340
<v Speaker 2>expect to see something like that weeks before World War III?

55
00:04:17.699 --> 00:04:23.029
<v Speaker 1>I do recall there were some visits by gosh, maybe

56
00:04:23.050 --> 00:04:26.980
<v Speaker 1>you recall, but right before February 2022, when Russia went

57
00:04:27.019 --> 00:04:29.740
<v Speaker 1>into Ukraine, there were some high-level dignitaries that had just

58
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:32.379
<v Speaker 1>visited Ukraine right before it happened.

59
00:04:33.540 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe Obama or Biden also sent CIA directors publicly.

60
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>That's true. It's fairly recent to have... You think back

61
00:04:43.550 --> 00:04:46.370
<v Speaker 2>during the Cold War, that was never a thing, right?

62
00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:49.329
<v Speaker 2>They very well went and did stuff like that. It

63
00:04:49.350 --> 00:04:52.660
<v Speaker 2>was just always... Like anything they did was secret, right?

64
00:04:52.740 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Now we're getting to see it.

65
00:04:55.579 --> 00:04:59.459
<v Speaker 1>Sure. And there's a lot of reasons for that. And

66
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>we won't get too much into the cloak and dagger, but.

67
00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:04.060
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you one good reason.

68
00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:05.389
<v Speaker 1>Go for it.

69
00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:10.689
<v Speaker 2>So they can escalate to Rubio next. And then if

70
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.350
<v Speaker 2>they needed to, they could escalate to Vance, right? So

71
00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:19.410
<v Speaker 2>they got, you know, constitutionally a bigger gun, right? Higher

72
00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:24.069
<v Speaker 2>up the chain of You know, succession, really. If you

73
00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:27.129
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say, all right, no, you really can't be

74
00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:33.009
<v Speaker 2>doing this. And Rubio would go to Lavrov, right? And

75
00:05:33.069 --> 00:05:36.149
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Vance would probably want to speak to

76
00:05:36.189 --> 00:05:37.870
<v Speaker 2>Putin and probably get Medved.

77
00:05:41.670 --> 00:05:45.689
<v Speaker 1>At least they're engaging in that diplomatic dance instead of

78
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>just totally shut off. It's how I look at it,

79
00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:53.259
<v Speaker 1>but maybe that's gracious for me to give the CIA director.

80
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what administration. It's hard for me to

81
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>be too supportive of them.

82
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.970
<v Speaker 2>So another way that governments do this, which is almost

83
00:06:03.069 --> 00:06:08.470
<v Speaker 2>always clandestine, at least when it happens, is it's a

84
00:06:08.629 --> 00:06:15.180
<v Speaker 2>French diplomatic term called démarche, issuing a démarche. And militaries

85
00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:19.949
<v Speaker 2>do that, right? An example that's now, you know, public

86
00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:25.529
<v Speaker 2>knowledge is when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. He got a

87
00:06:25.550 --> 00:06:30.189
<v Speaker 2>demarche through, I think, you know, probably the Swiss, some

88
00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:33.629
<v Speaker 2>intermediary delivered it. And it was like from our military

89
00:06:33.649 --> 00:06:37.230
<v Speaker 2>to you. If you go into Saudi Arabia, you're getting nuked.

90
00:06:38.550 --> 00:06:38.810
<v Speaker 4>Right.

91
00:06:40.670 --> 00:06:45.529
<v Speaker 2>We got the insular in Turkey where there's bunkers. They

92
00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:47.149
<v Speaker 2>bring the nukes out. They put them on the airport.

93
00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.689
<v Speaker 2>whatever's they had at the time, and you're at risk

94
00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:54.970
<v Speaker 2>of that. So the question in my mind is, did

95
00:06:55.009 --> 00:06:56.410
<v Speaker 2>Ratcliffe issue one of those?

96
00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:05.910
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess if he did, what would you see

97
00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:08.329
<v Speaker 1>in practicality? And are you seeing that right now in

98
00:07:08.350 --> 00:07:11.069
<v Speaker 1>future danger? What would you be seeing in the coming

99
00:07:11.129 --> 00:07:15.350
<v Speaker 1>weeks if something like that did happen and didn't go positively?

100
00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:21.129
<v Speaker 2>Well, the European media, especially the British, and possibly, you know,

101
00:07:21.149 --> 00:07:26.790
<v Speaker 2>I'd accuse Germans of, you know, really pounding on this

102
00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:29.720
<v Speaker 2>story that Putin's going to attack a NATO country, probably

103
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:33.660
<v Speaker 2>a Baltic state, Romania, Poland, or one of the Baltic states,

104
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>in the coming weeks. And the fact that Ratcliffe went

105
00:07:39.259 --> 00:07:43.459
<v Speaker 2>there sort of substantiates that, at a minimum, our European

106
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>allies think that is going to happen, and it's Overton

107
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:50.980
<v Speaker 2>window stuff, Ben. You're right that the Russians would try

108
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:57.189
<v Speaker 2>to set a precedent that was not met with lethal force.

109
00:07:57.389 --> 00:08:01.069
<v Speaker 2>And I would not be surprised to learn later that

110
00:08:01.149 --> 00:08:05.689
<v Speaker 2>Trump sent Ratcliffe there to say, this will be war

111
00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:07.100
<v Speaker 2>if you do that.

112
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, I guess we'll keep reporting here on Patriot Power

113
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.750
<v Speaker 1>Hour Which, what we really see happening, do you have

114
00:08:19.069 --> 00:08:19.990
<v Speaker 1>any further opinion?

115
00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:25.430
<v Speaker 2>I can just say demarches are serious things. They're when

116
00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:30.180
<v Speaker 2>militaries say to other militaries, there's the line. We're not

117
00:08:30.189 --> 00:08:32.100
<v Speaker 2>going to accept it being crossed.

118
00:08:33.179 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Right? What's the line? So what prompted this then? Russia

119
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:39.500
<v Speaker 1>starting to kick Ukraine?

120
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Take some of the drones?

121
00:08:41.539 --> 00:08:41.899
<v Speaker 1>Problems?

122
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.259
<v Speaker 2>Germans are saying that there's been drones in Germany with

123
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.059
<v Speaker 2>explosives that are linked to the German military intelligence.

124
00:08:51.100 --> 00:08:51.340
<v Speaker 1>Right?

125
00:08:51.659 --> 00:08:55.450
<v Speaker 2>The GRU. And Ratcliffe was sitting across the table from

126
00:08:55.470 --> 00:09:01.070
<v Speaker 2>two senior... The senior civilian intelligence and the senior military

127
00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:06.090
<v Speaker 2>intelligence representatives of Russia. So he's talking to the people

128
00:09:06.129 --> 00:09:10.009
<v Speaker 2>that if they're up to that stuff are ultimately responsible

129
00:09:10.049 --> 00:09:10.350
<v Speaker 2>for it.

130
00:09:10.610 --> 00:09:10.730
<v Speaker 4>And.

131
00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>We've reported on future danger, other drone incursions. So the

132
00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:21.289
<v Speaker 2>Europeans are very worried that they're going to try to

133
00:09:21.429 --> 00:09:25.529
<v Speaker 2>set a new precedent and cross that line. I'm not

134
00:09:25.590 --> 00:09:31.090
<v Speaker 2>sure how legit that ultimately is because that's Article 5 stuff, right?

135
00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>If Latvia gets struck, they're a NATO member. They invoke

136
00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:40.940
<v Speaker 2>Article 5. What else can the alliance do? Well, I

137
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:44.500
<v Speaker 2>think that was the CIA director getting sent there to

138
00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:50.210
<v Speaker 2>remind them, once you start down that path, global thermonuclear

139
00:09:50.230 --> 00:09:53.730
<v Speaker 2>warfare is the end state. We don't know of a

140
00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:57.090
<v Speaker 2>way to start fighting like that and not end up

141
00:09:57.149 --> 00:09:59.259
<v Speaker 2>there if you strike allied territory.

142
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>So where does that leave Russia? Because they're getting bombed

143
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.740
<v Speaker 1>in Moscow and from the interior, they're just going to

144
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.230
<v Speaker 1>take it on the chin. They're kind of being power

145
00:10:12.269 --> 00:10:17.049
<v Speaker 1>played like that or because they're getting kicked right there.

146
00:10:17.590 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a whole bunch of territory, a whole bunch

147
00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:23.740
<v Speaker 2>of governments. They're all in an alliance. And they're under

148
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.759
<v Speaker 2>the American nuclear umbrella. French and British in a minor way, too.

149
00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:34.299
<v Speaker 2>And they're not going to strike us. And you invaded Ukraine,

150
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.250
<v Speaker 2>so it seems like you're a problem.

151
00:10:40.610 --> 00:10:43.549
<v Speaker 1>You know, interestingly enough, as part of the 15-year anniversary

152
00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:46.929
<v Speaker 1>of Dethrone the Banksters, I had a news site that

153
00:10:46.970 --> 00:10:50.740
<v Speaker 1>was I'm like, it wasn't similar to future danger, but

154
00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:55.019
<v Speaker 1>it did repost and list several articles a week that

155
00:10:55.059 --> 00:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I thought were interesting, including the maiden revolution in 2014

156
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and moving into Crimea and all the stuff that 10, well,

157
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.350
<v Speaker 1>I guess eight years later turned into the invasion. So

158
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.269
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of, I went back down memory, down a

159
00:11:13.289 --> 00:11:16.389
<v Speaker 1>memory hole, I guess, looking at old articles 10, 15

160
00:11:16.389 --> 00:11:20.950
<v Speaker 1>years ago. over this last week since our last broadcast.

161
00:11:20.990 --> 00:11:24.570
<v Speaker 1>That was one of them. And seeing this acceleration and

162
00:11:25.230 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 1>potential escalation, having the CIA director show up there like that,

163
00:11:30.620 --> 00:11:35.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely hope cooler heads prevail. But it does not seem

164
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>like Ukraine ceasefire is going to happen. That's actually one

165
00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>of our Patriot Power Hour predictions for the year, that

166
00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 1>there would be a sustained ceasefire. And it's kind of

167
00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:47.100
<v Speaker 1>an evaluation where you have to make the judgment call,

168
00:11:47.139 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but we have not been able to make that call yet.

169
00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:51.340
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't look like it's going to happen either.

170
00:11:54.940 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Fire simply in the ballistic missile and the cruise missiles,

171
00:12:03.820 --> 00:12:09.500
<v Speaker 2>the drone munitions. Just a ceasefire in that air war

172
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.740
<v Speaker 2>would be a significant achievement this year.

173
00:12:14.419 --> 00:12:19.539
<v Speaker 1>Right. Yeah, let alone localized fighting on the ground. That

174
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.299
<v Speaker 1>probably ain't going to stop. I mean, that was going

175
00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:25.379
<v Speaker 1>at a low level since like 2014. But then, of course,

176
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 1>blew up big time in 2022 and beyond. Well, we'll

177
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>go through the news because we have a couple more

178
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 1>articles about Ukraine and just generally national security and economics.

179
00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:39.299
<v Speaker 1>But before we do the dashboard, any other major topics

180
00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:40.870
<v Speaker 1>you want to hit on or anything just generally on

181
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.090
<v Speaker 1>your mind, even if it's not a news item?

182
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.889
<v Speaker 2>A little preview of the heat map dashboard. Last week

183
00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:52.850
<v Speaker 2>I talked about how, you know, after a period of

184
00:12:53.789 --> 00:12:59.509
<v Speaker 2>occasionally using artificial intelligence to find news articles according to

185
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:05.179
<v Speaker 2>the 492 indicators of future danger, it's now become a

186
00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:10.730
<v Speaker 2>regular practice to seek news in this manner. And a

187
00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:14.549
<v Speaker 2>lot of the returns that I've got are, we're, we're

188
00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:19.009
<v Speaker 2>definitely on the trivial side, not, not making it onto the,

189
00:13:19.269 --> 00:13:23.899
<v Speaker 2>onto the board. And that is a big sign that

190
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.820
<v Speaker 2>news is cooling off. Uh, it would have, it would

191
00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:31.340
<v Speaker 2>have found serious stuff easily. It's so, that's how I say,

192
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, this last episode of Patriot power hour, this

193
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:42.190
<v Speaker 2>summer of 2026, uh, cooling off a little bit, but

194
00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:45.710
<v Speaker 2>still very significant things heating up in other directions. It's

195
00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:49.149
<v Speaker 2>just a little less intense than we've seen in the

196
00:13:49.190 --> 00:13:54.139
<v Speaker 2>last couple weeks, and that's obviously good. Right.

197
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.659
<v Speaker 1>And we were saying that, especially last week as the example,

198
00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:05.009
<v Speaker 1>it was possibly the most intense August news blitz of

199
00:14:05.169 --> 00:14:09.970
<v Speaker 1>all time, except for maybe 2020. is what my guess

200
00:14:09.990 --> 00:14:13.230
<v Speaker 1>would be. But just because it's cooled off since last week,

201
00:14:13.269 --> 00:14:16.129
<v Speaker 1>my point is this is still pretty heavy. I know

202
00:14:16.210 --> 00:14:18.590
<v Speaker 1>maybe a couple of these articles were found by AI

203
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:21.169
<v Speaker 1>that otherwise would not have, but I think they're all

204
00:14:21.230 --> 00:14:25.860
<v Speaker 1>very legit. And there's a lot of fairly high-rated, high-grade.

205
00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:29.419
<v Speaker 1>So it's not just all topical. So how about I

206
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 1>just run through it and we'll judge it one at

207
00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.179
<v Speaker 1>a time.

208
00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:34.740
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's see what we get. All right.

209
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:42.929
<v Speaker 1>Economics. Bitcoin above $ 80, 000. Gold, silver back off their lows

210
00:14:43.250 --> 00:14:46.710
<v Speaker 1>in the past month. But definitely not at their all-time highs,

211
00:14:46.789 --> 00:14:49.769
<v Speaker 1>any of those assets. What is at the all-time high,

212
00:14:49.789 --> 00:14:56.379
<v Speaker 1>of course, is the debt. And what also is all-time high, diesel.

213
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Up 20% near the all-time high. Not at the all-time high,

214
00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:07.509
<v Speaker 1>but super close. Up 20 cents since last week. Gold

215
00:15:07.549 --> 00:15:12.570
<v Speaker 1>heads for its best month since 1999 as the dollar wobbles.

216
00:15:13.169 --> 00:15:19.250
<v Speaker 1>Wheat futures surge to three-year high. Mentioned this early on,

217
00:15:19.269 --> 00:15:25.129
<v Speaker 1>the Treasury Secretary could tap nearly a trillion-dollar Treasury general

218
00:15:25.169 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 1>account to fund bond buybacks. Undergrid goes down. There's residents

219
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>in Indiana enduring their 11th day without power. Storms toppled

220
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:43.169
<v Speaker 1>power lines. Still don't have it back. And AI supercharging

221
00:15:43.210 --> 00:15:49.190
<v Speaker 1>the hacks of everyday utilities. We're on Prepper Broadcasting Network

222
00:15:49.669 --> 00:15:52.870
<v Speaker 1>and everyone should be prepped to go at least a

223
00:15:52.909 --> 00:15:58.990
<v Speaker 1>week without power. Honestly, a whole month minimum. That is

224
00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:02.870
<v Speaker 1>worth being a prepper. Just no power for a month.

225
00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:09.669
<v Speaker 1>Trade severely declines. Economic outcast China is threatening the U.S.

226
00:16:09.710 --> 00:16:14.029
<v Speaker 1>with retaliation over Iranian sanctions. More trade war. I mean,

227
00:16:14.049 --> 00:16:16.610
<v Speaker 1>we've got trade war with Canada. We've got trade war

228
00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:27.059
<v Speaker 1>with many countries. Let's move on to national security and

229
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:33.289
<v Speaker 1>domestic security. We already talked a lot about Russia and Ukraine,

230
00:16:34.269 --> 00:16:37.029
<v Speaker 1>but let's just run through it real fast. CIA director

231
00:16:37.049 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 1>delivers secret message in Russia. First known trip by Ratcliffe.

232
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.220
<v Speaker 1>CIA chief personally warns Russia, do not attack a NATO member.

233
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.490
<v Speaker 1>And the U.S., the U.K., and Norwegian forces are deploying

234
00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:56.830
<v Speaker 1>to a strategic island for a NATO exercise called Arctic Sentry.

235
00:16:59.049 --> 00:17:04.769
<v Speaker 1>Keeping an eye on that. 50,000 ICE arrests in July.

236
00:17:05.309 --> 00:17:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Pretty large number. Almost the NFL stadium worth. The most concerning,

237
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.339
<v Speaker 1>although Russia is concerning certainly, I've always found this indicator

238
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to be probably the most concerning in this column. Foreign

239
00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:32.430
<v Speaker 1>black ops. Here's several important articles about that. U.S. universities

240
00:17:33.369 --> 00:17:37.410
<v Speaker 1>were found tied to Chinese defense research labs in an

241
00:17:37.549 --> 00:17:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Air Force study. So the Chinese research labs using U.S.

242
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:50.500
<v Speaker 1>universities in different ways tied to them. Chinese hackers breached

243
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:56.019
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department, NASA, the Fed. Yes, the Federal Reserve and

244
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:03.509
<v Speaker 1>the Senate. So our universities, our defense research labs, DOJ, NASA,

245
00:18:04.609 --> 00:18:11.150
<v Speaker 1>financial institutions, Senate, Senate, just the Senate alone. FBI disables

246
00:18:11.230 --> 00:18:21.680
<v Speaker 1>tools used by firm servicing Chinese intelligence agency and military. DHS, CISA, CISA,

247
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:32.259
<v Speaker 1>over 100 internet exposed water systems targeted in July cyber attacks. Yep,

248
00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:42.910
<v Speaker 1>100 internet-exposed water systems targeted in July. Wastewater systems and

249
00:18:43.089 --> 00:18:52.190
<v Speaker 1>water systems generally. That's the security column. Let's move on

250
00:18:52.210 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 1>to liberty. Supreme Court backs the presidential order on mail-in ballots. U.S.

251
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:12.349
<v Speaker 1>Special Forces conduct operations inside Ecuador. Charges are dropped against

252
00:19:12.430 --> 00:19:15.369
<v Speaker 1>a person who clapped at a city data center meeting.

253
00:19:16.650 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Charges brought up against them, but then dropped. Nine million

254
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>facial recognition images leaked and a major breach at reverse

255
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:34.420
<v Speaker 1>image search and identity verification service. I don't know about you,

256
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.319
<v Speaker 1>but I've used a couple apps, including like Customs Border Patrol.

257
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Got to take a picture. Facial recognition images, right? Reverse

258
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:56.390
<v Speaker 1>image search and identity verification services. Let's go to the

259
00:19:56.490 --> 00:20:02.109
<v Speaker 1>fourth and final column. Health and natural news. New record

260
00:20:02.150 --> 00:20:07.670
<v Speaker 1>high of average global sea surface temperatures. Relentless heat dome.

261
00:20:08.430 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Texas to California. Heat, heat, heat. Did that heat cause

262
00:20:16.869 --> 00:20:22.130
<v Speaker 1>a glacier to fracture this avalanche? Flash floods, 160 plus dead.

263
00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:24.109
<v Speaker 1>It's going to probably be a lot more than that

264
00:20:24.230 --> 00:20:30.130
<v Speaker 1>in Nepal and China. Including a few dozen Americans, at

265
00:20:30.170 --> 00:20:38.500
<v Speaker 1>least it looked like. Lab made DNA stores memory just

266
00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:46.779
<v Speaker 1>like flash drive. So. This is actually the highest rated

267
00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:52.180
<v Speaker 1>article of the night, SHTF level, because it's actually happening now.

268
00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:59.369
<v Speaker 1>The future is now, for better and worse. Lab-made DNA.

269
00:21:00.869 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 1>Stores memories like a flash drive. Nature re-engineered. Organic computing, etc., 6.9

270
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:23.990
<v Speaker 1>magnitude solar flare with an Earth-directed CME. A G2 geomagnetic

271
00:21:24.210 --> 00:21:30.670
<v Speaker 1>storm watch was issued. Again, power outages from natural or

272
00:21:30.730 --> 00:21:36.140
<v Speaker 1>man-made solar flare. Not really a way to prep for

273
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.859
<v Speaker 1>that if that hits us a big enough once. So

274
00:21:39.890 --> 00:21:42.140
<v Speaker 1>just get ready to have no power for a little while.

275
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:49.460
<v Speaker 1>That's my backstop, what I'm trying to prep. Measles death

276
00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:55.250
<v Speaker 1>or multiple deaths in Pennsylvania. The first U.S. deaths of

277
00:21:55.309 --> 00:22:04.130
<v Speaker 1>measles in 2026. Reno, Nevada has what's known as the

278
00:22:04.190 --> 00:22:10.769
<v Speaker 1>Hawk Fire. Thousands had to evacuate. More evacuations in Texas.

279
00:22:12.009 --> 00:22:16.619
<v Speaker 1>Up near Dallas, there were fires. There was a lot

280
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:18.980
<v Speaker 1>of fires all throughout the West, of course, this summer.

281
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:26.410
<v Speaker 1>About 80,000 acres for the Ross Fire in Texas. Blood

282
00:22:26.470 --> 00:22:33.930
<v Speaker 1>Red Moon over the U.S. And another kind of artificial

283
00:22:34.049 --> 00:22:40.019
<v Speaker 1>life event. lab-grown brain type of article to finish the night.

284
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Oldest lab-grown human brains reach seven years old, and they

285
00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:48.279
<v Speaker 1>may have recorded the passage of time. So they have

286
00:22:48.299 --> 00:22:54.410
<v Speaker 1>a concept of time, this lab-grown human brain material that

287
00:22:54.789 --> 00:23:00.089
<v Speaker 1>is seven years old, living, and may have actually recorded

288
00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:04.710
<v Speaker 1>the passage of time future, Dan. Artificial life is spawned,

289
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:06.470
<v Speaker 1>and it's living. What do you say?

290
00:23:06.950 --> 00:23:08.069
<v Speaker 2>Getting towards it, aren't we?

291
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Definitely ain't in Kansas anymore. Any articles or topics you

292
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:16.319
<v Speaker 1>really want to jump into tonight?

293
00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, correction or potential correction because RFK Jr. says that

294
00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:28.190
<v Speaker 2>the measles deaths in Pennsylvania might be false reports. Saw

295
00:23:28.230 --> 00:23:35.170
<v Speaker 2>that earlier today. Okay. So that could be some government

296
00:23:35.349 --> 00:23:41.069
<v Speaker 2>statistics being falsified rather than actual pestilence of that nature.

297
00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:45.059
<v Speaker 1>Well, I wanted to get to this one for sure.

298
00:23:45.190 --> 00:23:47.450
<v Speaker 1>I tried not to jump into it during the news blitz,

299
00:23:47.470 --> 00:23:51.599
<v Speaker 1>so now that we've broached the topic. First, two deaths

300
00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:57.259
<v Speaker 1>out of the entire population of America. That's nothing. I mean,

301
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.599
<v Speaker 1>each individual is a tragedy, but it's totally statistically insignificant.

302
00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 1>there could be two deaths per day of measles. And

303
00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't even move the needle for me.

304
00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:14.500
<v Speaker 2>But you're missing the point. That disease was essentially eradicated. So,

305
00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:19.779
<v Speaker 2>you know, when we had MMR vaccines that weren't controversial

306
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.940
<v Speaker 2>and almost everybody agreed you should have one and they work, right?

307
00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:29.710
<v Speaker 1>So two threads. First, yes, people don't trust those vaccines anymore.

308
00:24:29.769 --> 00:24:32.589
<v Speaker 1>Number two, How many illegals have entered the country in

309
00:24:32.609 --> 00:24:36.690
<v Speaker 1>the last five years that are spreading measles? My real question.

310
00:24:37.430 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Or Americans that said, I'm not doing any of that

311
00:24:40.390 --> 00:24:44.220
<v Speaker 2>because my brother's children are autistic and they got loaded

312
00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 2>with 30-something shots the first year of life.

313
00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Add that all up and it definitely, that is statistically significant.

314
00:24:53.859 --> 00:24:56.289
<v Speaker 1>So a lot less people are getting vaccines for sure.

315
00:24:57.529 --> 00:24:59.430
<v Speaker 2>Potentially for good reasons.

316
00:25:01.950 --> 00:25:04.299
<v Speaker 1>Well, it is a risk, and he could potentially die

317
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.220
<v Speaker 1>from it, but as you said, this could be a miss,

318
00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:08.380
<v Speaker 1>kind of going back to your original point, is this

319
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:14.420
<v Speaker 1>real statistic? Is it propaganda? Is it whatever? RFK, I'll

320
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:17.079
<v Speaker 1>dig deeper into what he said. I haven't heard his rebuttal,

321
00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:19.059
<v Speaker 1>or do you have a little more info on that,

322
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 1>or I'll try to follow up on that soon.

323
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.299
<v Speaker 2>I didn't read what he said, so that's pending, but

324
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear his political enemies are just would be overjoyed

325
00:25:29.819 --> 00:25:33.539
<v Speaker 2>to see a, you know, a deadly measles outbreak ravage

326
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.089
<v Speaker 2>the United States. It's almost like Democrats cheer for it.

327
00:25:37.470 --> 00:25:40.549
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's certainly true. They cheer for that and they

328
00:25:40.569 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 1>cheer for mass shootings at schools, for example, too. Not good. Um, well,

329
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:52.940
<v Speaker 1>I'm almost taking this that. Yes, it's true. Even if

330
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:57.220
<v Speaker 1>it was true, you know, okay. There's two of them.

331
00:25:57.339 --> 00:26:01.329
<v Speaker 1>That's really nothing. in a country of 350 million plus,

332
00:26:02.710 --> 00:26:06.490
<v Speaker 1>but it could be totally false. And most stats, I'm

333
00:26:06.529 --> 00:26:09.390
<v Speaker 1>one of the last people to trust government stats, let

334
00:26:09.410 --> 00:26:11.890
<v Speaker 1>me tell you. So we'll see. We'll run this down.

335
00:26:11.910 --> 00:26:13.349
<v Speaker 1>I want to see what RFK says and if they

336
00:26:13.369 --> 00:26:15.809
<v Speaker 1>can actually track it down and if there's more coming

337
00:26:15.869 --> 00:26:18.009
<v Speaker 1>up towards the end of the year. But we're already

338
00:26:18.170 --> 00:26:20.589
<v Speaker 1>in towards the end of August and there haven't been

339
00:26:20.650 --> 00:26:25.190
<v Speaker 1>any up until these two here. That's pretty amazing, really.

340
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:30.359
<v Speaker 2>It's the amount of time that passed when there was none. Many,

341
00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 2>many decades. So, that's the perspective most people have.

342
00:26:36.309 --> 00:26:38.990
<v Speaker 1>And I just have to say, yeah, most people just

343
00:26:39.069 --> 00:26:44.210
<v Speaker 1>have an unrealistic expectation of statistics. But I have very,

344
00:26:45.609 --> 00:26:49.089
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe my way of looking at things is

345
00:26:49.130 --> 00:26:55.299
<v Speaker 1>not always agreed upon or, you know, whatever. And you're right, though.

346
00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:58.589
<v Speaker 1>It had been you know, the worst year in measles

347
00:26:58.609 --> 00:27:04.630
<v Speaker 1>since 1991, and three decades of no, I mean, that's true.

348
00:27:04.670 --> 00:27:07.230
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty crazy. It went three full decades, and now

349
00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:10.230
<v Speaker 1>there's been a couple. If it does end up being

350
00:27:10.269 --> 00:27:13.309
<v Speaker 1>a couple per week going forward, then that, you know,

351
00:27:13.390 --> 00:27:14.250
<v Speaker 1>would be a concern.

352
00:27:15.130 --> 00:27:19.630
<v Speaker 2>And it's not like measles became a superbug resistant to

353
00:27:19.690 --> 00:27:24.630
<v Speaker 2>its own vaccinations, right? Like, that's still a disease that

354
00:27:24.650 --> 00:27:29.130
<v Speaker 2>could be eradicated. So to me, it's like our civilization peaking,

355
00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:33.269
<v Speaker 2>and now you see, in one small dimension, falling off

356
00:27:33.349 --> 00:27:34.849
<v Speaker 2>of what we once achieved.

357
00:27:37.130 --> 00:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>That's a good way to put it, too. And this

358
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:45.460
<v Speaker 1>is not the only example of that, probably. All right.

359
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:52.390
<v Speaker 1>Let's move on. Let's see. How about... Let's stay in

360
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 1>this column. I want to hit the lab-made DNA... Lab-made

361
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.900
<v Speaker 1>DNA can store memory like a flash drive. Synthetic DNA.

362
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.180
<v Speaker 1>This is different than the brain that lived seven years.

363
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.619
<v Speaker 1>The neuron tissue, which we'll look at later, too. But

364
00:28:07.660 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 1>this uses synthetic DNA and a semiconductor. So it's merging

365
00:28:13.029 --> 00:28:15.309
<v Speaker 1>carbon and silicon, it sounds like.

366
00:28:15.329 --> 00:28:18.049
<v Speaker 2>A cyborg, right?

367
00:28:20.210 --> 00:28:25.579
<v Speaker 1>Memory resistor. A memristor, it calls. Holy cow. Well, This

368
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:28.099
<v Speaker 1>is just good old pop science. I used to read

369
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:31.980
<v Speaker 1>pop science, pop mechanics, popular mechanics when I was a kid.

370
00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:36.700
<v Speaker 1>And now, what I was reading back then pales into

371
00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:45.369
<v Speaker 1>comparison to artificial DNA, semiconductors, lab-made DNA. How about this?

372
00:28:46.210 --> 00:28:50.349
<v Speaker 1>This seems too much. I don't know if this is true.

373
00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:54.240
<v Speaker 1>It must be, though. It says one gram of DNA,

374
00:28:54.259 --> 00:28:55.740
<v Speaker 1>which I don't even know if we have a gram

375
00:28:55.809 --> 00:28:58.869
<v Speaker 1>of DNA in our body because it's so small. But

376
00:28:59.170 --> 00:29:04.549
<v Speaker 1>a single gram of DNA has 215 million gigabytes of data.

377
00:29:07.049 --> 00:29:12.420
<v Speaker 1>You want to know what the best data drive is?

378
00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>It's your body. It's your own cells have way more

379
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 1>data than any computer. That's pretty crazy. I know that's true.

380
00:29:18.569 --> 00:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>But I think the 215 million gigabytes, I don't know

381
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.079
<v Speaker 1>how much DNA we have in our body. I'm going

382
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.500
<v Speaker 1>to have to actually ask AI that right now.

383
00:29:28.980 --> 00:29:34.609
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, while you do, what we're headed for is data

384
00:29:34.630 --> 00:29:41.150
<v Speaker 2>centers that have significant, they're going to be biohazards. They're

385
00:29:41.170 --> 00:29:47.579
<v Speaker 2>going to be loaded full of organic human material processing,

386
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.099
<v Speaker 2>being the model for the machines and also storing the information.

387
00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 2>They're going to, if people are against data centers, if

388
00:29:57.380 --> 00:30:00.250
<v Speaker 2>there's a reason to be against data centers, I haven't

389
00:30:00.289 --> 00:30:03.890
<v Speaker 2>heard a good one until I just kind of realized that.

390
00:30:05.849 --> 00:30:08.500
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Bio hybrid system. They call it.

391
00:30:09.430 --> 00:30:11.750
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I haven't read this. Have you read about this?

392
00:30:11.789 --> 00:30:14.170
<v Speaker 2>Cause I just kind of put two and two together

393
00:30:14.190 --> 00:30:19.059
<v Speaker 2>right now. And the future come came to me just

394
00:30:19.170 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>on the two articles you're talking about.

395
00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Patriot power, our epiphany.

396
00:30:25.859 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure others have written about it long ago and

397
00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 2>there's sci-fi movies anyways, right? But just your sterile local

398
00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:40.319
<v Speaker 2>data center that's a big box with power grid lots

399
00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 2>all around it to keep it powered, pretty soon those

400
00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 2>are going to be biological hazard sites, like big plates

401
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:49.619
<v Speaker 2>of brains in there.

402
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, man. This definitely sounds like an 80s cartoon type

403
00:30:55.299 --> 00:30:59.859
<v Speaker 1>of thing, too. I don't know, like the evil robot.

404
00:31:00.990 --> 00:31:05.869
<v Speaker 1>hive mind that's part brain part machine um hey it

405
00:31:05.890 --> 00:31:09.869
<v Speaker 1>all checked out here man i did independent research and

406
00:31:10.009 --> 00:31:15.609
<v Speaker 1>per gram of dna that is 215 million gigabytes and

407
00:31:15.630 --> 00:31:19.359
<v Speaker 1>a holy cow everybody knows how big a gigabyte is

408
00:31:19.430 --> 00:31:24.339
<v Speaker 1>like that's a pretty detailed lengthy movie right.

409
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:25.299
<v Speaker 2>Quarter billion million.

410
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:29.980
<v Speaker 1>And so you're doing 215 million of those per gram.

411
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:36.910
<v Speaker 1>And the human body has 25 to 50 grams of DNA.

412
00:31:36.970 --> 00:31:40.329
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you were a bit off on that estimate. Wow.

413
00:31:40.589 --> 00:31:44.809
<v Speaker 1>But this just seemed like an unbelievably ridiculous amount of data. Like,

414
00:31:45.650 --> 00:31:49.539
<v Speaker 1>I thought, I don't know. That's crazy how much. First off,

415
00:31:49.579 --> 00:31:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know we had that much DNA. That's like

416
00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 1>an entire ounce. One ounce of your body about is

417
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 1>DNA just by itself.

418
00:31:58.539 --> 00:31:58.779
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

419
00:31:59.420 --> 00:32:04.069
<v Speaker 2>Could this be for the best, or is this going

420
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:07.529
<v Speaker 2>to bring about dystopia? I'm not trying to fearmonger here,

421
00:32:08.250 --> 00:32:11.569
<v Speaker 2>but these articles are on the EMAP dashboard for a reason, right?

422
00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:20.460
<v Speaker 2>Artificial life being spawned, nature being completely re-engineered, doesn't take

423
00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>much of an imagination to know that that could go

424
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.000
<v Speaker 2>horribly wrong.

425
00:32:25.210 --> 00:32:27.339
<v Speaker 1>I think if I had to really jump into it,

426
00:32:27.369 --> 00:32:31.529
<v Speaker 1>I'd say developing computer chips that have DNA in it.

427
00:32:32.529 --> 00:32:33.930
<v Speaker 1>I don't have too much of a problem with it

428
00:32:34.009 --> 00:32:38.470
<v Speaker 1>because what's the difference between that and raising factory animals

429
00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:43.140
<v Speaker 1>that live in exactly the same spot their entire lives

430
00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and then are slaughtered. What's the difference between that and

431
00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:47.940
<v Speaker 1>some neurons that were created? However, it.

432
00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.289
<v Speaker 2>Really crosses their human neurons. That's the difference.

433
00:32:54.609 --> 00:32:58.509
<v Speaker 1>It could, But are we sure they're all human neurons?

434
00:32:59.069 --> 00:33:02.190
<v Speaker 1>Because maybe we can use other type of animal neurons

435
00:33:02.410 --> 00:33:05.529
<v Speaker 1>that aren't human and still get some of the good

436
00:33:06.539 --> 00:33:07.279
<v Speaker 1>benefits from it.

437
00:33:07.819 --> 00:33:14.220
<v Speaker 2>Human experimentation in this dimension isn't banned. And of all

438
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:18.859
<v Speaker 2>the animals on the earth, why would you go and

439
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:22.579
<v Speaker 2>use chicken brains when you can use fake human brains?

440
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:30.450
<v Speaker 1>That's a great point. Well, that's definitely probably could debate

441
00:33:30.470 --> 00:33:34.589
<v Speaker 1>it for hours and hours. I think I like science

442
00:33:34.630 --> 00:33:38.769
<v Speaker 1>and technology. I don't think I like human experimentation or

443
00:33:38.869 --> 00:33:43.349
<v Speaker 1>using human brain matter kind of in a scientific way

444
00:33:43.450 --> 00:33:46.930
<v Speaker 1>against us. It's who's also using it too. I would

445
00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:49.450
<v Speaker 1>not trust those who are doing the experiments either. That's

446
00:33:49.470 --> 00:33:50.119
<v Speaker 1>a big part of it.

447
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.329
<v Speaker 2>You know, modeling the structure so that we have silicon-based

448
00:33:57.430 --> 00:34:03.000
<v Speaker 2>memory that has that capacity because it's designed like the

449
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:11.719
<v Speaker 2>human genome or, you know, silicon-based CPUs that are modeled

450
00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:16.690
<v Speaker 2>after the brain and are therefore far more effective, right?

451
00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:20.170
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's kind of inevitable. You kind of expect that,

452
00:34:20.190 --> 00:34:27.409
<v Speaker 2>but it's when you actually have flesh, tissue, organic material

453
00:34:27.630 --> 00:34:32.429
<v Speaker 2>of humans in the machines, you know, you wonder, where's

454
00:34:32.469 --> 00:34:35.150
<v Speaker 2>that stop, right? There's going to be a whole class

455
00:34:35.190 --> 00:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>of people that are genetically modified that, you know, have

456
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 2>absolutely dominant intelligences and other physical attributes, right? Blade Runner shit.

457
00:34:50.070 --> 00:34:55.190
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's, like you said, a lot of sci-fi around it.

458
00:34:57.739 --> 00:35:01.010
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Very complex. I'm mostly am against it,

459
00:35:01.030 --> 00:35:03.590
<v Speaker 1>but I'm also, there is a little bit of inevitability

460
00:35:03.690 --> 00:35:07.250
<v Speaker 1>to it. Just like with AI, like I'm using AI

461
00:35:07.329 --> 00:35:09.750
<v Speaker 1>right now, even if it could be used for better

462
00:35:09.789 --> 00:35:13.610
<v Speaker 1>or worse, you can't avoid it. But yeah, I don't know. Uh,

463
00:35:14.309 --> 00:35:20.320
<v Speaker 1>human brains plugged into Skynet is not what I'm looking to, uh,

464
00:35:20.429 --> 00:35:21.659
<v Speaker 1>support by any means.

465
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 2>All right. So have we, uh, thoroughly covered the nature, science,

466
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:36.389
<v Speaker 2>technological dimension of our show. Anything else in that column

467
00:35:36.409 --> 00:35:37.570
<v Speaker 2>that's worrying.

468
00:35:39.909 --> 00:35:40.489
<v Speaker 3>You?

469
00:35:41.030 --> 00:35:44.489
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually looking into the other article. Didn't have it

470
00:35:44.570 --> 00:35:47.610
<v Speaker 1>up on screen. These are, you know, the human brains

471
00:35:47.690 --> 00:35:51.909
<v Speaker 1>are just like very, very tiny. The size of a peppercorn.

472
00:35:51.969 --> 00:35:55.579
<v Speaker 1>Some of them peppercorns that you grind up. But Again,

473
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.739
<v Speaker 1>this is just the beginning. Other articles, I mean, the

474
00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:04.320
<v Speaker 1>wildfires could be huge depending on where you live. So

475
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:06.760
<v Speaker 1>another great reason to be a prepper if in your

476
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 1>region flash floods or hurricanes. We saw Hawaii hit by

477
00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:15.000
<v Speaker 1>a hurricane in the last month, last few weeks. We've

478
00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:19.760
<v Speaker 1>seen earthquakes all around the world. If I was on

479
00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:21.780
<v Speaker 1>the West Coast of the United States or even up

480
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>in Canada, Vancouver and all that, on the Pacific Rim

481
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:29.659
<v Speaker 1>and up in Alaska, I would be on tsunami and

482
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.380
<v Speaker 1>earthquake super alert because that's the one part of the

483
00:36:32.420 --> 00:36:34.940
<v Speaker 1>Pacific Rim that's not been hit hard. But we're not

484
00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:38.260
<v Speaker 1>seeing any after multiple weeks in a row of a

485
00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:41.269
<v Speaker 1>lot of earthquake and volcanic activity. Not really seeing any

486
00:36:41.349 --> 00:36:44.570
<v Speaker 1>right now. So that's something I just wanted to point out.

487
00:36:46.889 --> 00:36:52.409
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. What about what we talked about in security? Anything

488
00:36:52.429 --> 00:36:56.670
<v Speaker 2>surprising in the Call them two security, foreign or domestic.

489
00:36:59.469 --> 00:37:02.250
<v Speaker 1>The U.S. universities. Let's go see if my alma mater

490
00:37:02.349 --> 00:37:05.139
<v Speaker 1>is in there because Purdue University has done a lot

491
00:37:05.179 --> 00:37:12.539
<v Speaker 1>of work with Chinese nationals and Chinese students. Right? A

492
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of the big universities have been involved in that.

493
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.730
<v Speaker 1>Let's see who's named here. I hope it's not Purdue.

494
00:37:19.170 --> 00:37:20.469
<v Speaker 2>It says it right there in the heading.

495
00:37:22.409 --> 00:37:25.820
<v Speaker 1>Well, it has a I'm looking at the exact universities

496
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 1>it's got.

497
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:29.860
<v Speaker 2>It's the biggest word on the line you're showing.

498
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:32.179
<v Speaker 1>Oh, no, it's right there.

499
00:37:32.219 --> 00:37:35.300
<v Speaker 2>You're right. You made that up. You saw that already.

500
00:37:36.260 --> 00:37:39.059
<v Speaker 2>You didn't come into this article and actually stumble into that,

501
00:37:39.099 --> 00:37:39.420
<v Speaker 2>did you?

502
00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:41.019
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did.

503
00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:41.820
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

504
00:37:42.579 --> 00:37:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're right, though. I guess you're really right about Purdue.

505
00:37:47.300 --> 00:37:53.650
<v Speaker 1>Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, one third of my business

506
00:37:53.889 --> 00:37:57.449
<v Speaker 1>master's class was from China or Taiwan. And then a

507
00:37:57.489 --> 00:37:59.480
<v Speaker 1>lot were from India and a couple from the Middle

508
00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 1>East for whatever it's worth. So no, I had a

509
00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:05.019
<v Speaker 1>feeling they would be on here, but I did not

510
00:38:05.059 --> 00:38:06.780
<v Speaker 1>see it. You're right. It literally is one of the

511
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:11.909
<v Speaker 1>sub headlines. Purdue and Bay Hong built joint research labs. Well,

512
00:38:11.989 --> 00:38:18.710
<v Speaker 1>Purdue's heavily involved in aeronautics and computer science and military stuff.

513
00:38:19.190 --> 00:38:24.050
<v Speaker 1>They even have a nuclear reactor on campus. So nuclear engineering,

514
00:38:24.090 --> 00:38:29.090
<v Speaker 1>they're big on, and let's just say one of my

515
00:38:29.130 --> 00:38:34.730
<v Speaker 1>family members, like, let's just say was very involved with, uh,

516
00:38:35.070 --> 00:38:38.320
<v Speaker 1>nuclear research in this country. And he was working with

517
00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:42.179
<v Speaker 1>Chinese guys who I thought were the good guys. Hopefully

518
00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:43.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them are the good guys that came

519
00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:46.179
<v Speaker 1>to America and working on our side, but easy to

520
00:38:46.219 --> 00:38:53.300
<v Speaker 1>have spies or, you know, double Asians, whatever. So this

521
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:57.119
<v Speaker 1>was back in 2011, which is right around the time

522
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:00.639
<v Speaker 1>I was in grad school. Funny enough, 2011, just after

523
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:03.260
<v Speaker 1>I got out of there for the second time, the

524
00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:09.070
<v Speaker 1>Joint Laboratory on Energy Systems and Low Emissions Combustion. So

525
00:39:09.110 --> 00:39:12.510
<v Speaker 1>I actually did come into this naked, not knowing that

526
00:39:12.530 --> 00:39:14.030
<v Speaker 1>that would be one of the biggest ones, but I

527
00:39:14.090 --> 00:39:16.489
<v Speaker 1>also did know that Purdue was going to be implicated

528
00:39:16.530 --> 00:39:19.210
<v Speaker 1>in this for sure. But I definitely expected to see

529
00:39:19.230 --> 00:39:23.750
<v Speaker 1>the likes of Harvard and MIT, and others, Berkeley, Duke,

530
00:39:23.829 --> 00:39:26.980
<v Speaker 1>Penn State. But, oh, man, not where I wanted to

531
00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:28.780
<v Speaker 1>see Purdue. Not on top of this list.

532
00:39:30.170 --> 00:39:40.539
<v Speaker 3>Boilermakers Yep Sold out to China China Well let me

533
00:39:40.579 --> 00:39:44.860
<v Speaker 3>just say Michigan Sold out to China too Northwestern did

534
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:50.179
<v Speaker 3>as well Everybody, the university systems Sold out Top to bottom.

535
00:39:53.170 --> 00:39:55.730
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's not good. My mom's been telling me

536
00:39:55.769 --> 00:39:59.929
<v Speaker 1>this for a while, too. It's like, Bruce sold out

537
00:39:59.969 --> 00:40:00.469
<v Speaker 1>to China.

538
00:40:02.130 --> 00:40:05.309
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, when the history books are written, I'm

539
00:40:05.409 --> 00:40:11.519
<v Speaker 2>wondering what part of that regime did they absolutely institutionalize

540
00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:15.800
<v Speaker 2>what we would call in the United States think tanks

541
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:20.159
<v Speaker 2>to sit down and just thoroughly look at the ways

542
00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to absolutely exploit every angle of the freedom of our

543
00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:30.030
<v Speaker 2>country to serve the communist regime because this is clearly

544
00:40:30.070 --> 00:40:34.570
<v Speaker 2>planned that's all they do is centrally plan from Beijing

545
00:40:34.590 --> 00:40:37.210
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just wondering when did they really just say

546
00:40:37.230 --> 00:40:39.869
<v Speaker 2>alright instead of we'll do a little bit there a

547
00:40:40.070 --> 00:40:41.949
<v Speaker 2>little bit there and we'll try this here and we'll

548
00:40:42.190 --> 00:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you know kind of haphazardly perform espionage against us and

549
00:40:47.059 --> 00:40:50.170
<v Speaker 2>turned it into a a complete enterprise level.

550
00:40:52.610 --> 00:40:57.829
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be 2008 Obama from Obama on.

551
00:40:59.010 --> 00:40:59.369
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

552
00:40:59.590 --> 00:41:02.650
<v Speaker 1>It was gangbusters maybe even before, but I mean, once,

553
00:41:03.570 --> 00:41:06.230
<v Speaker 1>once Obama got in and after the Beijing Olympics, that

554
00:41:06.269 --> 00:41:10.489
<v Speaker 1>was the coming out party planned kind of esoteric plan

555
00:41:10.530 --> 00:41:13.630
<v Speaker 1>by the, Them, the capital T, them, who run a

556
00:41:13.670 --> 00:41:16.190
<v Speaker 1>lot of the weird stuff with the Olympics. They're like,

557
00:41:16.230 --> 00:41:18.739
<v Speaker 1>now it's China's turn and we're handing it over. The

558
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:23.610
<v Speaker 1>Manchurian candidate, Obama, on behalf of China. There you go.

559
00:41:24.780 --> 00:41:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the implementation. I think the Clinton's terms

560
00:41:29.750 --> 00:41:34.570
<v Speaker 2>would have been where looking at the Clinton presidency, even

561
00:41:34.610 --> 00:41:40.539
<v Speaker 2>without any treasonous cooperation, They might just look, alright, if

562
00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:44.150
<v Speaker 2>that country's going to elect people like that, then we're

563
00:41:44.170 --> 00:41:47.409
<v Speaker 2>going to just exploit every single angle of it because

564
00:41:47.610 --> 00:41:52.570
<v Speaker 2>they'll let us. He was a Vietnam protester, right? It's

565
00:41:53.690 --> 00:41:55.929
<v Speaker 2>a big warning sign that he might be lenient on

566
00:41:56.199 --> 00:41:57.000
<v Speaker 2>what we plan to do.

567
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.590
<v Speaker 1>It is a red flag, as they call it.

568
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:04.739
<v Speaker 2>Alright.

569
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Enough looking at the Purdue one, but there's more than

570
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:11.809
<v Speaker 1>that under the foreign black ops that i wanted to

571
00:42:11.849 --> 00:42:17.090
<v Speaker 1>hit on that that's the not just universities but doj

572
00:42:17.110 --> 00:42:21.380
<v Speaker 1>nasa federal reserve and senate there's some memes which i

573
00:42:21.409 --> 00:42:23.699
<v Speaker 1>don't think are particularly funny but it may be at

574
00:42:23.780 --> 00:42:25.639
<v Speaker 1>one point in my life i thought they'd be funnier

575
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>about china hacking the fed and what they found inside

576
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:33.500
<v Speaker 1>the federal reserve and blah blah blah but i don't

577
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:36.360
<v Speaker 1>really find that too funny anymore i'm kind of jaded

578
00:42:37.539 --> 00:42:40.380
<v Speaker 1>in that regard but uh Let's get into the article.

579
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:44.280
<v Speaker 1>The Justice Department and FBI seized three domains Wednesday. Shut

580
00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:52.199
<v Speaker 1>down some hacking platforms used against American government networks and infrastructure. NASA,

581
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:57.900
<v Speaker 1>the Fed, Energy Department, Justice Department, Health and Human Services, NIH,

582
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:02.960
<v Speaker 1>National Institute of Health, and again, the Senate. Kind of

583
00:43:03.019 --> 00:43:10.570
<v Speaker 1>important there. All types of exploits. Excuse me. invulnerabilities were

584
00:43:10.789 --> 00:43:18.260
<v Speaker 1>uh exploited there and really i mean i don't know

585
00:43:18.340 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 1>how much actual damage was done in my profession i'm

586
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:27.449
<v Speaker 1>always like okay good to know what actual damage was

587
00:43:27.510 --> 00:43:32.389
<v Speaker 1>done what kind of uh exposure is that i don't

588
00:43:32.429 --> 00:43:34.050
<v Speaker 1>know i don't know how much damage was done but

589
00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:36.550
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing we don't We may never know the

590
00:43:36.590 --> 00:43:39.639
<v Speaker 1>damage that's done or who's sitting lurking in wait that

591
00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:43.500
<v Speaker 1>gained access and are now just waiting to be activated

592
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.679
<v Speaker 1>years down the road or just passively monitoring. I mean,

593
00:43:47.699 --> 00:43:50.340
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. The analogy that comes to

594
00:43:50.380 --> 00:43:53.840
<v Speaker 1>mind is a submarine analogy different than the one we've

595
00:43:53.929 --> 00:44:00.309
<v Speaker 1>used before or metaphor, I guess. But sometimes a submarine

596
00:44:00.349 --> 00:44:04.610
<v Speaker 1>isn't just to shoot torpedoes and they're not just to

597
00:44:04.670 --> 00:44:10.980
<v Speaker 1>launch inter... intercontinental ballistic missiles they're also meant to just

598
00:44:11.340 --> 00:44:15.860
<v Speaker 1>sit there silently and observe and report right so that's

599
00:44:15.900 --> 00:44:19.500
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cyber attacks are just burrowing deep and

600
00:44:19.539 --> 00:44:23.300
<v Speaker 1>just staying there to be activated later and or reporting

601
00:44:23.340 --> 00:44:25.369
<v Speaker 1>back passively some info you know what i mean.

602
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:32.929
<v Speaker 2>I do be cyber is a war fighting domain i

603
00:44:32.949 --> 00:44:41.260
<v Speaker 2>think it's greatly overhyped But to me, black ops suspected

604
00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:45.929
<v Speaker 2>comes in many forms and cyber is, you know, a

605
00:44:45.969 --> 00:44:48.650
<v Speaker 2>black op. They want it to be clandestine. They don't

606
00:44:48.670 --> 00:44:51.050
<v Speaker 2>want to be found out about this, right? Because it

607
00:44:51.070 --> 00:44:53.909
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work if you find out. FBI found out and

608
00:44:53.929 --> 00:44:58.570
<v Speaker 2>disabled everything, right? But, you know, if a country is

609
00:44:58.610 --> 00:45:02.530
<v Speaker 2>willing to aggressively perform espionage on you, it's because they're

610
00:45:02.550 --> 00:45:05.429
<v Speaker 2>preparing to fight you. That, you know, it's a chain

611
00:45:05.469 --> 00:45:08.829
<v Speaker 2>of events that's the dangerous thing. This in and of

612
00:45:08.869 --> 00:45:12.590
<v Speaker 2>itself isn't going to collapse the United States. You hacked.

613
00:45:17.250 --> 00:45:20.099
<v Speaker 1>Well, they definitely don't want to get caught. I guess

614
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:21.719
<v Speaker 1>the question is for everyone that gets caught, how many

615
00:45:21.780 --> 00:45:24.059
<v Speaker 1>are out there? Is it just a few? Is it hundreds?

616
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Is it thousands? We'll never know, of course. And again,

617
00:45:27.179 --> 00:45:30.960
<v Speaker 1>what actual damage and what actual data can they get

618
00:45:31.099 --> 00:45:34.050
<v Speaker 1>access to? There's a lot of people that get paid

619
00:45:34.070 --> 00:45:38.289
<v Speaker 1>a lot. And you know what? Funny enough, the Cybersecurity

620
00:45:38.349 --> 00:45:44.570
<v Speaker 1>and Infrastructure Security Agency, CISA, C-I-S-A, had an article about that.

621
00:45:44.769 --> 00:45:48.739
<v Speaker 1>And this was more focused, though, on water systems that

622
00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:53.420
<v Speaker 1>were targeted. Future Dan, no one died because their water

623
00:45:53.460 --> 00:45:56.619
<v Speaker 1>was turned off, right? But there were attacks. There was

624
00:45:56.659 --> 00:46:04.610
<v Speaker 1>some damages. Happened in 12 states. And Even the article admits, yeah,

625
00:46:04.730 --> 00:46:10.110
<v Speaker 1>not that much significant disruption, but did raise concerns. So

626
00:46:10.130 --> 00:46:15.889
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess I'm more worried about the

627
00:46:16.090 --> 00:46:20.030
<v Speaker 1>data and privacy aspect of hacks than like blowing things

628
00:46:20.110 --> 00:46:23.070
<v Speaker 1>up by way of a cyber attack. But I don't know.

629
00:46:23.829 --> 00:46:26.210
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen a full on cyber war or at

630
00:46:26.250 --> 00:46:29.690
<v Speaker 1>least it's not published to the public. Maybe it's going

631
00:46:29.769 --> 00:46:32.090
<v Speaker 1>on right now under the undercurrent, though.

632
00:46:33.130 --> 00:46:37.309
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's constant, but to what effect, right? 40% of

633
00:46:37.329 --> 00:46:40.989
<v Speaker 2>my life, there was no internet, right? I can remember

634
00:46:41.010 --> 00:46:43.840
<v Speaker 2>when there was no internet. To me, it's like, all right,

635
00:46:44.039 --> 00:46:48.320
<v Speaker 2>if there's no internet tomorrow, life will go on. I

636
00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:53.320
<v Speaker 2>saw it. There's been electricity my whole life, but it

637
00:46:53.340 --> 00:46:58.050
<v Speaker 2>wasn't for my grandparents. So, you know, life will go on. Now,

638
00:46:59.030 --> 00:47:01.150
<v Speaker 2>to what degree are there people that can't cope without

639
00:47:01.849 --> 00:47:08.710
<v Speaker 2>electricity and and internet and obviously if you live somewhere

640
00:47:08.769 --> 00:47:12.559
<v Speaker 2>where food transportation is going to break down now you're

641
00:47:12.579 --> 00:47:17.679
<v Speaker 2>in a starving situation that's real but life will go

642
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:21.840
<v Speaker 2>on without those technologies it was before you'll kill a

643
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:25.230
<v Speaker 2>lot of people a lot of civil unrest a lot

644
00:47:25.250 --> 00:47:29.849
<v Speaker 2>of people won't mentally handle it but I think smaller

645
00:47:29.889 --> 00:47:32.630
<v Speaker 2>communities will be able to cope.

646
00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I think the mental part is a huge part. That's

647
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:41.630
<v Speaker 1>why I do some fasting and I definitely try to

648
00:47:42.489 --> 00:47:46.630
<v Speaker 1>live a fairly clean life and exercise and do this

649
00:47:46.670 --> 00:47:50.429
<v Speaker 1>and that so that if stuff hits the fan, I'm

650
00:47:50.469 --> 00:47:54.210
<v Speaker 1>not going through sugar withdrawals or alcohol withdrawals or just,

651
00:47:54.329 --> 00:47:57.510
<v Speaker 1>you know. There's part of it just you got to

652
00:47:57.550 --> 00:47:59.679
<v Speaker 1>be tough when stuff gets tough. But on the other hand,

653
00:48:00.070 --> 00:48:02.579
<v Speaker 1>if you live a decadent lifestyle for years and years,

654
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:04.739
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a little harder to shift into

655
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:07.139
<v Speaker 1>that so i think part of being a prepper is

656
00:48:07.579 --> 00:48:10.159
<v Speaker 1>you know kind of working on especially food i feel

657
00:48:10.199 --> 00:48:13.619
<v Speaker 1>like within a couple days if you're not getting the

658
00:48:14.059 --> 00:48:15.780
<v Speaker 1>the food that you're used to and we did this

659
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.780
<v Speaker 1>with some of our prior challenges last year in particular

660
00:48:19.860 --> 00:48:22.840
<v Speaker 1>eating mres and having calorie deficit like if you haven't

661
00:48:22.929 --> 00:48:26.170
<v Speaker 1>done that before i would just say do it so

662
00:48:26.190 --> 00:48:29.429
<v Speaker 1>you're not totally surprised not too many firsts as mpc

663
00:48:30.130 --> 00:48:32.750
<v Speaker 1>guy says but in terms of no internet here's what

664
00:48:32.789 --> 00:48:36.260
<v Speaker 1>i would say yes 100 world would go on but

665
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:41.880
<v Speaker 1>from an economic standpoint it would obviously bring everything down

666
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:44.590
<v Speaker 1>really bad i mean maybe that would be a blessing

667
00:48:44.650 --> 00:48:48.409
<v Speaker 1>in disguise but uh we would be in great depression

668
00:48:48.449 --> 00:48:50.570
<v Speaker 1>mode if not worse if the internet was off for

669
00:48:50.630 --> 00:48:54.130
<v Speaker 1>more than a month uh just you know at this

670
00:48:54.210 --> 00:48:58.570
<v Speaker 1>point if we just have a gdp that goes down

671
00:48:58.610 --> 00:49:01.280
<v Speaker 1>by one or two percent we would be like massive

672
00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:05.480
<v Speaker 1>panic and crashing but If we had a GDP minus

673
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.440
<v Speaker 1>10% for a month because there was no electricity or

674
00:49:09.179 --> 00:49:12.849
<v Speaker 1>minimal electricity. Yeah, all this debt and Ponzi scheme would

675
00:49:12.989 --> 00:49:16.829
<v Speaker 1>unravel very fast. The Fed couldn't even print out of it, potentially.

676
00:49:16.860 --> 00:49:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true. I just don't fear cyber attack that way.

677
00:49:24.940 --> 00:49:28.699
<v Speaker 2>The cyber attacks that have to be defended against are,

678
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:34.909
<v Speaker 2>you know, are war fighting battle command systems, right? Like,

679
00:49:35.849 --> 00:49:38.429
<v Speaker 2>I don't really care if Wall Street can't function for

680
00:49:38.449 --> 00:49:44.539
<v Speaker 2>a week. Can the nuclear arsenal function? That's kind of

681
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:47.480
<v Speaker 2>a level I look at. That kind of cyber attack,

682
00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:52.179
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that is possible. I don't think they

683
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:55.409
<v Speaker 2>can knock out Wall Street right now. Maybe muck around

684
00:49:55.449 --> 00:49:57.869
<v Speaker 2>with some websites is apparently what this is.

685
00:50:01.409 --> 00:50:04.869
<v Speaker 1>All considered, we have not in almost 25 years, almost

686
00:50:04.909 --> 00:50:07.710
<v Speaker 1>exactly right to 9-11, if they had some sort of

687
00:50:08.219 --> 00:50:11.719
<v Speaker 1>all-encompassing cyber attack that would have knocked out power to

688
00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:14.519
<v Speaker 1>10% of America or more, it would have been launched

689
00:50:14.579 --> 00:50:17.780
<v Speaker 1>by now, I think.

690
00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:20.260
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure the NSA has done it to people.

691
00:50:21.059 --> 00:50:23.539
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they've done it to every adversary. I'm sure

692
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:27.130
<v Speaker 2>Russians have received what you just described. The Chinese have

693
00:50:27.170 --> 00:50:31.530
<v Speaker 2>received what you just described. I don't see any reason

694
00:50:31.590 --> 00:50:36.510
<v Speaker 2>why our technology and capability to go offensive cyber wouldn't

695
00:50:36.550 --> 00:50:37.070
<v Speaker 2>lead the world.

696
00:50:39.989 --> 00:50:43.239
<v Speaker 1>While at the same time building the defenses we would

697
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.900
<v Speaker 1>need ourselves and just not having some of this stuff,

698
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:49.360
<v Speaker 1>internet exposed, as they say, that's one thing they're doing

699
00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:53.739
<v Speaker 1>is rethinking their architecture. Like, do we really need all

700
00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:57.460
<v Speaker 1>these different parts? So internet enabled and smart and all

701
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.869
<v Speaker 1>that crap, maybe not just other new avenues for entry,

702
00:51:01.469 --> 00:51:04.769
<v Speaker 1>you know? So that's, that's a little part of it too. The,

703
00:51:04.969 --> 00:51:08.329
<v Speaker 1>the internet attack surface may be smart about it.

704
00:51:09.349 --> 00:51:09.530
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

705
00:51:10.530 --> 00:51:12.880
<v Speaker 2>What else is interesting you on the heat map dashboard?

706
00:51:14.420 --> 00:51:19.719
<v Speaker 2>Last show of August, 2026. It is.

707
00:51:19.739 --> 00:51:28.389
<v Speaker 1>Hmm. SCOTUS backing the president, a mail-in ballots, executive order

708
00:51:28.429 --> 00:51:32.550
<v Speaker 1>to stop voter fraud backed by the Supreme court, 10

709
00:51:32.550 --> 00:51:37.150
<v Speaker 1>page order reversed to lower court, stay on the executive order.

710
00:51:38.070 --> 00:51:41.429
<v Speaker 1>So lower court had said, stay like you say to

711
00:51:41.469 --> 00:51:43.710
<v Speaker 1>a dog that's how i remember like stay his does

712
00:51:43.769 --> 00:51:48.250
<v Speaker 1>not proceed doesn't count yet you know like a pause

713
00:51:49.289 --> 00:51:54.030
<v Speaker 1>well supreme court has the authority to reverse that stay

714
00:51:54.139 --> 00:51:57.619
<v Speaker 1>and have it now take into effect this is the

715
00:51:58.380 --> 00:52:03.219
<v Speaker 1>ensuring citizenship verification and integrity in federal elections but the

716
00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:06.219
<v Speaker 1>fight is not over they're reporting here on the new

717
00:52:06.260 --> 00:52:11.369
<v Speaker 1>american but this is a good you know, victory and, uh,

718
00:52:12.739 --> 00:52:16.219
<v Speaker 1>you know, at this point, anything like this that comes

719
00:52:16.239 --> 00:52:19.369
<v Speaker 1>out of the Supreme court is certainly positive. We'll take it. Um,

720
00:52:19.550 --> 00:52:23.909
<v Speaker 1>this was from March 31st and another order in March 25th.

721
00:52:24.710 --> 00:52:28.219
<v Speaker 1>So here we are five months later, it's being supported

722
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.780
<v Speaker 1>by the Supreme court. You definitely talked over the last

723
00:52:31.820 --> 00:52:35.099
<v Speaker 1>several years about how things got to work their way

724
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:37.719
<v Speaker 1>through the court and how in fact it's it'll set

725
00:52:37.940 --> 00:52:41.889
<v Speaker 1>positive precedent, right? So it might take a little while,

726
00:52:41.909 --> 00:52:45.230
<v Speaker 1>but when it actually happens, that can be bear fruit

727
00:52:45.269 --> 00:52:56.840
<v Speaker 1>for a while, right? All right. Future Dan, we're going

728
00:52:56.860 --> 00:53:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to move on. Gold heading to best month since $ 99

729
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>wobbling month. 4,600 on Friday. Remember, gold touched 5,000 earlier

730
00:53:13.300 --> 00:53:17.559
<v Speaker 1>this year, but 4,600. There you are, future Dan. We

731
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:18.420
<v Speaker 1>moved on to gold.

732
00:53:19.219 --> 00:53:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Back up. I just want to jump back to the

733
00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:26.280
<v Speaker 2>immigration thing real quick. So that whole Supreme Court decision

734
00:53:27.630 --> 00:53:30.110
<v Speaker 2>hinges on this concept of ripeness. Do you know what

735
00:53:30.130 --> 00:53:34.449
<v Speaker 2>I mean by ripeness when it comes to different actions

736
00:53:34.510 --> 00:53:35.489
<v Speaker 2>in courts and.

737
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Uh, no. Go ahead and expand on that.

738
00:53:41.980 --> 00:53:44.760
<v Speaker 2>To make it real easy, the decision from the Supreme

739
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:48.710
<v Speaker 2>Court is the lower judge couldn't stay in order that

740
00:53:49.949 --> 00:53:53.110
<v Speaker 2>actually hadn't been given yet. Because the Trump administration did

741
00:53:53.130 --> 00:53:59.230
<v Speaker 2>an executive order ordering the post office to establish new

742
00:53:59.269 --> 00:54:04.050
<v Speaker 2>standards for verifying mail-in ballots. But the post office hadn't

743
00:54:04.090 --> 00:54:09.409
<v Speaker 2>done it yet. So... The injunction wasn't ripe. There was

744
00:54:09.449 --> 00:54:12.929
<v Speaker 2>no harm done because what Trump had ordered the post

745
00:54:12.989 --> 00:54:15.150
<v Speaker 2>office to do, the post office hadn't done yet.

746
00:54:16.510 --> 00:54:17.590
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

747
00:54:17.929 --> 00:54:20.010
<v Speaker 2>So it wasn't ripe. There was no decision to be made.

748
00:54:21.489 --> 00:54:28.179
<v Speaker 2>Lower judges can't just stop things that haven't happened yet

749
00:54:28.280 --> 00:54:30.739
<v Speaker 2>was the logic of that. And then as soon as

750
00:54:30.780 --> 00:54:34.219
<v Speaker 2>that decision came down, the Trump administration through the post

751
00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:38.500
<v Speaker 2>office did establish the orders, which have immediately been sued again.

752
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Right.

753
00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:42.639
<v Speaker 2>So now it's ripe.

754
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.610
<v Speaker 1>Ripeness, okay.

755
00:54:46.349 --> 00:54:53.469
<v Speaker 2>But the president's opponents, the Democrats that want carte blanche

756
00:54:53.489 --> 00:55:02.530
<v Speaker 2>with mail-in ballots again, might actually find out that by

757
00:55:02.570 --> 00:55:06.880
<v Speaker 2>the time The next cases make it to that Supreme

758
00:55:06.900 --> 00:55:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Court level. It'll be now too late. So the opposite

759
00:55:10.980 --> 00:55:14.389
<v Speaker 2>of right. It'll be passed. It'll be passed. It's expired.

760
00:55:15.449 --> 00:55:18.210
<v Speaker 2>So it looks like the White House is using the

761
00:55:18.250 --> 00:55:23.250
<v Speaker 2>timeline to actually maneuver this in a way where no

762
00:55:23.309 --> 00:55:27.780
<v Speaker 2>lower court can stop it from taking effect. And my God,

763
00:55:27.820 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it has Democrats that are smart enough to know how

764
00:55:30.719 --> 00:55:35.659
<v Speaker 2>this works. really, really upset because it does seem like

765
00:55:35.699 --> 00:55:36.280
<v Speaker 2>it's going to work.

766
00:55:39.800 --> 00:55:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Love to see it. Love to see it.

767
00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:48.780
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about barcodes. Having barcodes on the envelopes of

768
00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:51.929
<v Speaker 2>the mail-in ballots so they can actually be tracked.

769
00:55:52.849 --> 00:55:53.090
<v Speaker 4>Right?

770
00:55:53.949 --> 00:55:57.530
<v Speaker 2>Like something very obvious and fair that they're trying to,

771
00:55:57.869 --> 00:56:02.170
<v Speaker 2>but they have to actually maneuver the legal system to

772
00:56:02.210 --> 00:56:07.269
<v Speaker 2>prevent thousands upon thousands of lower court federal judges from

773
00:56:07.309 --> 00:56:07.849
<v Speaker 2>stopping them.

774
00:56:08.789 --> 00:56:14.329
<v Speaker 1>Right. Well, I mean, it seems dishonest to try to

775
00:56:14.369 --> 00:56:18.300
<v Speaker 1>have a stay when the rule isn't even final. They've

776
00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:21.880
<v Speaker 1>said it wasn't even proposed to let alone final, but

777
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:24.559
<v Speaker 1>of course they don't care about wasting taxpayer resources and

778
00:56:24.679 --> 00:56:28.300
<v Speaker 1>court time, et cetera. You know, those attorney fees are,

779
00:56:28.340 --> 00:56:30.420
<v Speaker 1>you know how much it costs to bring that motion up.

780
00:56:30.460 --> 00:56:33.639
<v Speaker 1>That was just political warfare. I mean, I won't even

781
00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:35.780
<v Speaker 1>go any further than that. But that's just how this

782
00:56:35.820 --> 00:56:40.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff works out. But at least seemingly the Trump administration

783
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:42.599
<v Speaker 1>is playing the game the right way, might be able

784
00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:45.199
<v Speaker 1>to maneuver it with the ripeness. I get that now.

785
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:48.929
<v Speaker 1>It makes sense. It's working between when, well, in the

786
00:56:48.969 --> 00:56:51.670
<v Speaker 1>insurance world, when does the claim actually start and when

787
00:56:51.730 --> 00:56:55.190
<v Speaker 1>is the statute of limitations expired? Like you said, expired.

788
00:56:55.610 --> 00:56:59.820
<v Speaker 1>Similar thing. Like when does the actual claim, law or

789
00:56:59.889 --> 00:57:02.210
<v Speaker 1>policy go into place and it had not happened yet.

790
00:57:02.329 --> 00:57:04.769
<v Speaker 1>And the people bringing that up knew that it was

791
00:57:04.829 --> 00:57:07.929
<v Speaker 1>very on its face, but there, you know, that's the

792
00:57:08.349 --> 00:57:13.969
<v Speaker 1>political juristic, you know, jurisprudence warfare, which is very important

793
00:57:13.989 --> 00:57:18.909
<v Speaker 1>in all this. I'm, I'm no attorney, but, uh, you know,

794
00:57:18.969 --> 00:57:20.010
<v Speaker 1>it's very important. I know that.

795
00:57:20.769 --> 00:57:25.179
<v Speaker 2>And, and when, um, the vote, vote theft of 2020

796
00:57:25.179 --> 00:57:33.000
<v Speaker 2>was underway, uh, Before, during the days of the actual

797
00:57:33.059 --> 00:57:37.019
<v Speaker 2>election in 2020, and all the way through the period

798
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:42.420
<v Speaker 2>until the Electoral College completed its actions and Congress certified it,

799
00:57:43.849 --> 00:57:49.110
<v Speaker 2>in J6 2021 in that whole time frame the same

800
00:57:50.050 --> 00:57:53.570
<v Speaker 2>logic this isn't ripe yet everything that Trump said and

801
00:57:53.610 --> 00:57:56.110
<v Speaker 2>his lawyers were saying is going to happen to steal

802
00:57:56.150 --> 00:57:58.909
<v Speaker 2>the vote every court refused to recognize it because it

803
00:57:58.949 --> 00:58:02.840
<v Speaker 2>hadn't happened yet and then shortly thereafter said it was

804
00:58:03.010 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Speaker 2>a fait accompli and there's nothing to be done because

805
00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:12.380
<v Speaker 2>what's happened has happened so what comes around goes around.

806
00:58:14.619 --> 00:58:20.949
<v Speaker 1>For sure looking at this article I did notice there's

807
00:58:20.989 --> 00:58:22.570
<v Speaker 1>a thumbnail I wanted to click on we're not going

808
00:58:22.590 --> 00:58:24.070
<v Speaker 1>to play this right now but you sent it to

809
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:28.670
<v Speaker 1>me I listened to it yesterday worth listening to the

810
00:58:28.710 --> 00:58:34.630
<v Speaker 1>psychology of tyranny why psychopathic authoritarians keep rising to power

811
00:58:34.929 --> 00:58:37.550
<v Speaker 1>I did search our transcripts I got about a third

812
00:58:37.570 --> 00:58:39.829
<v Speaker 1>of our transcripts this is episode 359 so I got

813
00:58:39.849 --> 00:58:45.500
<v Speaker 1>about 150 maybe hundred twenty five hundred fifty transcripts i

814
00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:49.699
<v Speaker 1>searched to see if we ever used the phrase psychopathic

815
00:58:49.739 --> 00:58:53.320
<v Speaker 1>authoritarianism it did not find that but i swear i

816
00:58:53.380 --> 00:58:55.900
<v Speaker 1>must have said it at some point but anyway the

817
00:58:55.940 --> 00:58:59.500
<v Speaker 1>point is this sounds like ben the breaker of banksters

818
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:03.550
<v Speaker 1>from 10 or 15 years ago but this is a

819
00:59:03.860 --> 00:59:12.539
<v Speaker 1>doctor in hypnosis. He's talking about how society... Psychiatry. Well, okay.

820
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:16.159
<v Speaker 1>But he practices hypnosis. How about that?

821
00:59:16.340 --> 00:59:23.500
<v Speaker 2>It's a specialty, but he's a legitimate psychiatric doctor. Joseph Sansone,

822
00:59:23.739 --> 00:59:27.300
<v Speaker 2>putting a book out next month, and this hour-long or

823
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:31.849
<v Speaker 2>half-hour-long interview with him by New American... I want to

824
00:59:31.889 --> 00:59:33.429
<v Speaker 2>read that book. I think I want to get my

825
00:59:33.469 --> 00:59:33.929
<v Speaker 2>hands on it.

826
00:59:36.210 --> 00:59:42.059
<v Speaker 1>He talks all about what a psychopathic authoritarian is and

827
00:59:42.800 --> 00:59:49.659
<v Speaker 1>about hypnosis, about how mass media hypnosis, whether it's January.

828
00:59:49.699 --> 00:59:51.780
<v Speaker 1>He didn't even mention January 6th, I don't think, but

829
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:56.210
<v Speaker 1>that's hypnosis. That's a great example. COVID, of course, 9-11,

830
00:59:57.030 --> 01:00:00.070
<v Speaker 1>but he focuses big time on COVID. and COVID shots

831
01:00:00.130 --> 01:00:06.420
<v Speaker 1>and lockdowns and all that. So, uh, definitely, definitely worth listening. Yeah. Okay.

832
01:00:06.440 --> 01:00:09.179
<v Speaker 1>There's not a such thing as a doctor in hypnosis.

833
01:00:09.199 --> 01:00:17.539
<v Speaker 1>That's true. But he, he talks about clinical psychology, history, philosophy, sociology, and, uh,

834
01:00:18.019 --> 01:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>what's the dark tetrad. I've heard it before. It's all

835
01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:28.489
<v Speaker 1>about sadism, narcissism, and Machiavellianism, psychopathy, uh, how all these

836
01:00:28.610 --> 01:00:34.179
<v Speaker 1>traits are actually, they manifest in the public because of

837
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:38.380
<v Speaker 1>the leaders. And he puts out examples of like the

838
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:42.539
<v Speaker 1>people trying to get you arrested for not wearing a

839
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:45.900
<v Speaker 1>mask at a supermarket. Right. They feel so empowered and

840
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:48.619
<v Speaker 1>they often lean on the state. Imagine what it must

841
01:00:48.659 --> 01:00:52.190
<v Speaker 1>be in like North Korea and China. Like, like you

842
01:00:52.230 --> 01:00:56.750
<v Speaker 1>are in such like lockdown in your own mind, such a, uh,

843
01:00:57.010 --> 01:01:01.630
<v Speaker 1>Stockholm syndrome and your own sadism comes out and you're like, yeah,

844
01:01:01.650 --> 01:01:03.789
<v Speaker 1>me and the state, we're going to work together. And

845
01:01:04.449 --> 01:01:08.409
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, like that whole psych, psychopathy, uh, the

846
01:01:08.469 --> 01:01:12.780
<v Speaker 1>leaders manifest that, but they definitely like they're doing it

847
01:01:12.820 --> 01:01:15.420
<v Speaker 1>on purpose. They, they're, they know what they're doing. Some

848
01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like dark magic almost. Yeah. Yeah.

849
01:01:19.519 --> 01:01:21.719
<v Speaker 2>It's the topics that are at hand. It's, it's, it's

850
01:01:21.820 --> 01:01:25.369
<v Speaker 2>definitely worth listening to. And, I'm going to get the book.

851
01:01:25.389 --> 01:01:28.300
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what, that, that, that many half hour

852
01:01:28.360 --> 01:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>interviews by authors have me, have me say, I got

853
01:01:31.860 --> 01:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>to get that book and read it. But he's brought

854
01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:36.619
<v Speaker 2>together a lot of things you've heard for a very

855
01:01:36.659 --> 01:01:40.659
<v Speaker 2>long time on alternative media in a, you know, an

856
01:01:40.760 --> 01:01:46.309
<v Speaker 2>actual construct of someone who's a, has a doctorate in psych, psychiatry.

857
01:01:46.329 --> 01:01:47.309
<v Speaker 2>So I want to read it.

858
01:01:48.909 --> 01:01:51.269
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I like it. And then actually when this, uh,

859
01:01:51.329 --> 01:01:54.539
<v Speaker 1>we're running low on time for the show, but After that,

860
01:01:54.699 --> 01:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>another interview came out all about gun control and someone,

861
01:02:00.900 --> 01:02:04.030
<v Speaker 1>pretty much gun owners of American. I'm like, all right,

862
01:02:04.239 --> 01:02:06.889
<v Speaker 1>the new American. I've been on New American quite a lot,

863
01:02:06.949 --> 01:02:09.369
<v Speaker 1>but got to make sure I go check that out

864
01:02:09.909 --> 01:02:13.969
<v Speaker 1>more often. Definitely hitting things out of the park. So,

865
01:02:14.329 --> 01:02:17.030
<v Speaker 1>Future Dan, we got a few minutes left. Are there

866
01:02:17.050 --> 01:02:19.449
<v Speaker 1>any big articles you really wanted to hit on or

867
01:02:19.489 --> 01:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>any topics to kind of bookend today? This episode, final

868
01:02:24.260 --> 01:02:25.900
<v Speaker 1>August 2026 episode.

869
01:02:26.519 --> 01:02:29.980
<v Speaker 2>I want to ask you, is your Uber chart on

870
01:02:31.219 --> 01:02:37.039
<v Speaker 2>America's death spiral, that infographic ready for the public?

871
01:02:38.300 --> 01:02:42.699
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. I almost forgot. How could I? This one.

872
01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:43.469
<v Speaker 1>Can you see it?

873
01:02:43.909 --> 01:02:44.969
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, totally.

874
01:02:46.289 --> 01:02:50.110
<v Speaker 1>Busy. All right. We're going to run through it in

875
01:02:50.130 --> 01:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a very high level way. Wish me luck. It is busy,

876
01:02:54.480 --> 01:02:59.389
<v Speaker 1>but it's all about the debt going back 15 years

877
01:02:59.449 --> 01:03:04.769
<v Speaker 1>and going forward 15 years. So last week, 15-year anniversary

878
01:03:04.789 --> 01:03:09.289
<v Speaker 1>of Dethrone the Banksters, my original blog talking about the

879
01:03:09.349 --> 01:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>banksters and all their schemes and their psychopathic authoritarianism, etc. Well,

880
01:03:14.980 --> 01:03:19.340
<v Speaker 1>since then, here we go. Debt went from just under

881
01:03:19.340 --> 01:03:24.239
<v Speaker 1>$ 15 trillion... to 40 trillion in the last 15 years.

882
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:31.110
<v Speaker 1>Now in 15 years from now, the official CBO congressional

883
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:36.610
<v Speaker 1>budget office, James Walton was talking about the CBO last week. Like, well,

884
01:03:36.650 --> 01:03:38.730
<v Speaker 1>how can we have a budget office if we have

885
01:03:38.789 --> 01:03:42.309
<v Speaker 1>a trillion dollar deficit? What is that? Like almost like

886
01:03:42.329 --> 01:03:47.059
<v Speaker 1>a Seinfeld meme or something. What are we talking about? Uh, Yeah, well,

887
01:03:47.099 --> 01:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>they even think that we're going to go from $ 40

888
01:03:49.340 --> 01:03:57.210
<v Speaker 1>trillion to $ 83 trillion 15 years from now. But that,

889
01:03:57.369 --> 01:04:00.429
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, is massive sandbagging.

890
01:04:01.030 --> 01:04:08.610
<v Speaker 2>Is that real or inflation-adjusted? What's your inflation assumption? Or

891
01:04:08.789 --> 01:04:09.670
<v Speaker 2>is that just nominal?

892
01:04:10.969 --> 01:04:15.090
<v Speaker 1>That is nominal only. So that's a great question. Yeah, okay.

893
01:04:15.969 --> 01:04:19.829
<v Speaker 1>Look on this right-hand side, this green box. This actually

894
01:04:19.949 --> 01:04:25.690
<v Speaker 1>kind of translates. The last 15 years was 173% nominal increase.

895
01:04:25.750 --> 01:04:27.429
<v Speaker 1>But if you took it into an inflation, it was

896
01:04:27.449 --> 01:04:33.190
<v Speaker 1>like an 85% increase in real terms. So if we

897
01:04:33.230 --> 01:04:36.409
<v Speaker 1>just said the nominal increase, cut that in half would

898
01:04:36.429 --> 01:04:42.690
<v Speaker 1>be the real increase, that's still literally $ 20- plus trillion of

899
01:04:42.750 --> 01:04:47.030
<v Speaker 1>today money. So that makes sense. They're looking at like, okay,

900
01:04:47.050 --> 01:04:50.699
<v Speaker 1>over the next 15 years, one to $ 1. 5 trillion of

901
01:04:50.889 --> 01:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>today money deficit. That's like what we are now. No improvement,

902
01:04:54.659 --> 01:04:58.059
<v Speaker 1>but no, you know, nothing getting worse is what they're

903
01:04:58.119 --> 01:05:03.039
<v Speaker 1>kind of expecting. But that is, I just want to

904
01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:05.679
<v Speaker 1>show why just a small change in that, which I

905
01:05:05.739 --> 01:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>think is necessary can blow that number out. So again,

906
01:05:11.900 --> 01:05:17.570
<v Speaker 1>in current dollars, not inflation, nominal, They think we're going

907
01:05:17.590 --> 01:05:20.849
<v Speaker 1>to go from 40, the official numbers, from $ 40 trillion

908
01:05:20.889 --> 01:05:24.710
<v Speaker 1>to $ 83 trillion in the next 15 years. Okay. But

909
01:05:26.230 --> 01:05:29.090
<v Speaker 1>if we actually grow at the rate of debt that

910
01:05:29.130 --> 01:05:31.389
<v Speaker 1>we have for the past 15 years, we're not going

911
01:05:31.429 --> 01:05:33.389
<v Speaker 1>to make, like if we just maintain what we did

912
01:05:33.809 --> 01:05:35.969
<v Speaker 1>on average the last 15 years, we're not going to

913
01:05:36.030 --> 01:05:38.449
<v Speaker 1>end up at $ 83 trillion. We're going to end up

914
01:05:38.550 --> 01:05:42.739
<v Speaker 1>at $ 110 trillion. So I'm just saying if we did

915
01:05:42.780 --> 01:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>the exact same regression that line, if we did the

916
01:05:47.619 --> 01:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>same kind of moving average over the next 15 years

917
01:05:51.820 --> 01:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>that we just did for the last 15 years, we're

918
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.050
<v Speaker 1>actually going to land at 110. So just that is

919
01:05:58.130 --> 01:06:00.369
<v Speaker 1>the baseline. Cause I don't think anything's going to be

920
01:06:00.389 --> 01:06:06.530
<v Speaker 1>improving in the next 15 years. Um, but now my

921
01:06:06.590 --> 01:06:07.090
<v Speaker 1>question is.

922
01:06:07.510 --> 01:06:11.969
<v Speaker 2>Um, in 2041 is the yellow or the red or

923
01:06:12.010 --> 01:06:18.559
<v Speaker 2>the blue final number. In today's dollars or in what

924
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:24.530
<v Speaker 2>we expect after inflation money to be worth in 2041?

925
01:06:24.789 --> 01:06:26.110
<v Speaker 1>That'll be in today's numbers.

926
01:06:27.849 --> 01:06:34.820
<v Speaker 2>In reality, they're going to be sick higher numbers.

927
01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:37.539
<v Speaker 1>It'll have less purchasing power, which means the debt is

928
01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:41.840
<v Speaker 1>worth less too. But it's still going to be a

929
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:48.119
<v Speaker 1>heck of a lot. I mean, let's say Here's another

930
01:06:48.139 --> 01:06:51.900
<v Speaker 1>way to look at it, actually. What's the percent of

931
01:06:52.460 --> 01:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>GDP that it represents on a real basis?

932
01:06:56.619 --> 01:06:58.289
<v Speaker 2>It's almost the best way to look at it.

933
01:06:59.199 --> 01:07:05.369
<v Speaker 1>Right. So, in that regard, what I would say is

934
01:07:06.409 --> 01:07:09.909
<v Speaker 1>it's going to keep rising as a percent of GDP, which,

935
01:07:10.650 --> 01:07:15.170
<v Speaker 1>if that happens... it's going to be big time problems.

936
01:07:15.210 --> 01:07:18.670
<v Speaker 1>Not only would interest rates be going up, but it

937
01:07:18.710 --> 01:07:21.909
<v Speaker 1>could potentially lead to just that great reset. I mean,

938
01:07:22.389 --> 01:07:26.309
<v Speaker 1>based on the math here, pretty high chance that there'll

939
01:07:26.329 --> 01:07:29.199
<v Speaker 1>be some sort of reset of the financial system at

940
01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:33.980
<v Speaker 1>15 years. Best case scenario, it's like 2008, 2009, 2010,

941
01:07:33.980 --> 01:07:37.579
<v Speaker 1>where some people go bust, but it doesn't collapse everything.

942
01:07:37.619 --> 01:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>And there's some bailouts and it goes another decade. I

943
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I think that it can't do that for

944
01:07:43.460 --> 01:07:49.449
<v Speaker 1>another 15 years, maybe another 5 or 10. This doesn't

945
01:07:49.489 --> 01:07:53.289
<v Speaker 1>take into account World War III or COVID 2.0 either,

946
01:07:53.349 --> 01:07:55.829
<v Speaker 1>by the way. So this is just the baseline, let

947
01:07:55.869 --> 01:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>alone a shock value where several trillion dollars needed to

948
01:07:59.909 --> 01:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>be printed in a year. So just keep that in mind, too.

949
01:08:05.300 --> 01:08:09.949
<v Speaker 2>And I do think it's a Marxist frame to if

950
01:08:10.150 --> 01:08:13.570
<v Speaker 2>some calamity like that happened to say that it was

951
01:08:13.610 --> 01:08:17.140
<v Speaker 2>inevitable because the capitalist system was falling apart. First of all,

952
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:20.760
<v Speaker 2>this is not due to capitalism. This is clearly due

953
01:08:20.779 --> 01:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>to statism for over a hundred years or 14 or

954
01:08:25.079 --> 01:08:29.359
<v Speaker 2>15 years to be precise. So, you know, I'm not

955
01:08:29.380 --> 01:08:33.380
<v Speaker 2>going to accept any arguments ever that, you know, this

956
01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:38.210
<v Speaker 2>was inevitable or it was caused by capitalism or they're,

957
01:08:39.170 --> 01:08:42.279
<v Speaker 2>the economic situation where there had to be a war.

958
01:08:42.300 --> 01:08:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I can agree with that because the basis is not

959
01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>capitalism for sure. The problem was not capitalism. They'll try

960
01:08:51.840 --> 01:08:53.710
<v Speaker 1>to blame it. A lot of them will say, oh,

961
01:08:53.750 --> 01:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>this is late stage capitalism. That's one of their buzzwords

962
01:08:57.039 --> 01:08:57.539
<v Speaker 1>for sure.

963
01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not buying it. That's a Marxist frame, neo-Marxist frame.

964
01:09:03.079 --> 01:09:08.869
<v Speaker 2>I categorically reject it and speak against it weekly on

965
01:09:08.909 --> 01:09:09.789
<v Speaker 2>Patriot Power Hour.

966
01:09:11.590 --> 01:09:13.130
<v Speaker 1>The only way to be able to get this far

967
01:09:13.170 --> 01:09:16.989
<v Speaker 1>is if the government is complicit in the fraud, which

968
01:09:17.050 --> 01:09:19.569
<v Speaker 1>it is. So there you go. In a free market,

969
01:09:20.010 --> 01:09:24.420
<v Speaker 1>Everything would clear out, collapse and rebuild and regrow naturally.

970
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:28.340
<v Speaker 1>The only way this fraud can be perpetrated this far,

971
01:09:28.380 --> 01:09:31.689
<v Speaker 1>this long, is with the government helping to support it.

972
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:37.890
<v Speaker 1>The lender of last resort, the buyer of last resort, right?

973
01:09:37.930 --> 01:09:40.670
<v Speaker 1>The government will be there to buy. I mean, they

974
01:09:40.689 --> 01:09:44.609
<v Speaker 1>already have done subsidies for corn and soy for decades

975
01:09:44.649 --> 01:09:49.069
<v Speaker 1>and decades, for example. But anyway, the insurer of last resort,

976
01:09:49.109 --> 01:09:52.890
<v Speaker 1>if If all the insurance companies and pensions and actuaries

977
01:09:52.970 --> 01:09:56.229
<v Speaker 1>and all that go tits up, then there'll be some

978
01:09:56.310 --> 01:09:59.229
<v Speaker 1>sort of check coming from Uncle Sam. But what can

979
01:09:59.260 --> 01:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you actually buy with it will be a question. I

980
01:10:01.680 --> 01:10:03.899
<v Speaker 1>got to feel it. Yep.

981
01:10:05.479 --> 01:10:09.699
<v Speaker 2>So, pretty busy infographic. Are you going to post that

982
01:10:09.880 --> 01:10:12.359
<v Speaker 2>for us to spend a little more time on our

983
01:10:12.420 --> 01:10:12.960
<v Speaker 2>own looking at?

984
01:10:14.850 --> 01:10:17.329
<v Speaker 1>Yep, I'm going to get that out on X. In fact,

985
01:10:17.390 --> 01:10:20.149
<v Speaker 1>I think I posted it last night. Let me double check.

986
01:10:20.229 --> 01:10:22.750
<v Speaker 1>I had a beta version of this last week, but

987
01:10:22.770 --> 01:10:27.060
<v Speaker 1>I cleaned it up. I specifically told the AI, reformulate

988
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:33.859
<v Speaker 1>this with no Marxist, socialist, you know, Occupy Wall Street

989
01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:38.670
<v Speaker 1>type of iconography. It was actually this other one that

990
01:10:38.710 --> 01:10:41.550
<v Speaker 1>was worse. If you remember, I had this to throw

991
01:10:41.569 --> 01:10:44.239
<v Speaker 1>in the bank, it's just 15 years. And it had

992
01:10:44.310 --> 01:10:47.649
<v Speaker 1>like the fist rising. It was like red colors. I mean,

993
01:10:47.670 --> 01:10:50.430
<v Speaker 1>this is still kind of the red and Soviet style,

994
01:10:51.010 --> 01:10:52.569
<v Speaker 1>but it looks a lot better. I do like the

995
01:10:52.630 --> 01:10:57.930
<v Speaker 1>color actually. But anyway, long story short. Yeah, I am

996
01:10:57.989 --> 01:11:01.369
<v Speaker 1>posting on X and I'm expecting and hoping to make

997
01:11:01.409 --> 01:11:04.350
<v Speaker 1>some more assets. Maybe not as busy as this one,

998
01:11:05.350 --> 01:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to be posting them throughout the year.

999
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I'd be interested in seeing ones on, you know, what

1000
01:11:11.899 --> 01:11:20.630
<v Speaker 2>kind of, peaceful, non-reset, fundamental changes to start to flatten

1001
01:11:20.649 --> 01:11:25.420
<v Speaker 2>the curve. Because flattening the curve relative to all the

1002
01:11:25.460 --> 01:11:28.039
<v Speaker 2>rest of the debt of the rest of the world

1003
01:11:29.279 --> 01:11:35.060
<v Speaker 2>would set America up in, you know, exactly where we

1004
01:11:35.100 --> 01:11:37.319
<v Speaker 2>want to be. Best we could hope for. What kind

1005
01:11:37.340 --> 01:11:40.399
<v Speaker 2>of productivity gains will we have to see? What kind

1006
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:47.239
<v Speaker 2>of breakthrough scientific Discoveries that can be brought perhaps out

1007
01:11:47.300 --> 01:11:54.170
<v Speaker 2>of clandestine military affairs and brought to the civilian economy.

1008
01:11:54.989 --> 01:11:57.590
<v Speaker 2>What could AI do? What could blockchain do? What can

1009
01:11:59.050 --> 01:12:03.979
<v Speaker 2>energy breakthroughs do to flatten that curve? I'd like to

1010
01:12:04.000 --> 01:12:08.319
<v Speaker 2>see a dethrone the banksters version of that.

1011
01:12:10.260 --> 01:12:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I love it. The first one that pops out is

1012
01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:17.510
<v Speaker 1>definitely energy, especially electricity, nuclear plants, et cetera, et cetera.

1013
01:12:18.029 --> 01:12:22.590
<v Speaker 1>But I've always been drill, drill, drill. Everyone's pretty damn

1014
01:12:22.609 --> 01:12:25.310
<v Speaker 1>glad we did fracking and drilling in the last decade

1015
01:12:25.350 --> 01:12:28.399
<v Speaker 1>with what's going on nowadays. Let's just say that. I

1016
01:12:28.409 --> 01:12:33.340
<v Speaker 1>was always for that drill, baby, drill. But energy, energy, energy.

1017
01:12:33.359 --> 01:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>And then food, food, food. Improving the food supply, the cost,

1018
01:12:37.819 --> 01:12:40.979
<v Speaker 1>but also the quality. if you improve the quality of

1019
01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:44.500
<v Speaker 1>the food supply, that'll have a lot of great externalities

1020
01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:47.659
<v Speaker 1>on the health side of things. It's really healthcare is

1021
01:12:48.220 --> 01:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>such a big expense and just growing and growing and growing.

1022
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:54.460
<v Speaker 1>So that has to be handled in a lot of

1023
01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:55.239
<v Speaker 1>different ways.

1024
01:12:55.260 --> 01:13:01.090
<v Speaker 2>Medicaid, Medicare running, you know, 3 billion a day each, right?

1025
01:13:01.210 --> 01:13:01.909
<v Speaker 2>Stuff like that.

1026
01:13:02.270 --> 01:13:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It's ugly. And I have, I'm not going to

1027
01:13:06.449 --> 01:13:10.800
<v Speaker 1>call this inside information because it's probably publicly available. I

1028
01:13:10.800 --> 01:13:14.359
<v Speaker 1>haven't done my due diligence, but I'm not running a

1029
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:19.750
<v Speaker 1>public company right now. Health insurance premiums should be going

1030
01:13:19.850 --> 01:13:23.289
<v Speaker 1>up 15% to 25% in the next 12 to 18 months.

1031
01:13:23.550 --> 01:13:27.430
<v Speaker 1>So hear that first here. If your health care premiums

1032
01:13:27.449 --> 01:13:30.029
<v Speaker 1>have gone up, expect them to continue going up double

1033
01:13:30.069 --> 01:13:34.239
<v Speaker 1>digits minimum for the next several years. based on what

1034
01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:39.109
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing in the insurance and insurance brokerage field. So

1035
01:13:39.189 --> 01:13:43.409
<v Speaker 1>that's more and more inflation. Everything's going up in healthcare,

1036
01:13:43.810 --> 01:13:44.829
<v Speaker 1>leading the charge, really.

1037
01:13:45.510 --> 01:13:47.569
<v Speaker 2>I hope it breaks that whole system and we get

1038
01:13:47.630 --> 01:13:52.979
<v Speaker 2>back to you just getting cash discount for paying for

1039
01:13:53.020 --> 01:13:57.079
<v Speaker 2>medical services that are entirely outside of the insurance system.

1040
01:13:57.539 --> 01:14:01.819
<v Speaker 2>Something tells me that so much corruption and regulation, regulatory capture,

1041
01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:12.739
<v Speaker 2>I mean, insurance and healthcare, juggernaut, HMOs, something's not functioning

1042
01:14:12.770 --> 01:14:16.770
<v Speaker 2>according to market principles there. And that's probably what it

1043
01:14:16.810 --> 01:14:22.109
<v Speaker 2>takes to break that, is drive that to unaffordability. The

1044
01:14:22.369 --> 01:14:23.970
<v Speaker 2>market will adjust.

1045
01:14:26.649 --> 01:14:28.869
<v Speaker 1>Yes and no. Part of it is who's going to

1046
01:14:28.890 --> 01:14:30.850
<v Speaker 1>be in charge. Will they try to socialize it if

1047
01:14:30.930 --> 01:14:34.939
<v Speaker 1>it breaks, if the freaking... America in charge I sure

1048
01:14:34.989 --> 01:14:35.750
<v Speaker 1>as heck hope.

1049
01:14:35.569 --> 01:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Not it's gonna happen if they completely socialize medicine you

1050
01:14:39.739 --> 01:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>know what they would immediately create is a proverbial black

1051
01:14:43.659 --> 01:14:47.600
<v Speaker 2>market for medical care and people pay cash because they

1052
01:14:47.619 --> 01:14:48.920
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be able to get it any other way.

1053
01:14:49.270 --> 01:14:56.670
<v Speaker 1>Right my doctor only accepts gold silver bitcoin and water purifiers.

1054
01:14:58.010 --> 01:14:59.750
<v Speaker 2>But have to wait a while to find that doctor

1055
01:14:59.789 --> 01:15:01.310
<v Speaker 2>but yeah.

1056
01:15:02.989 --> 01:15:05.890
<v Speaker 1>Um, sort of joking, sort of not. I mean, in fact, uh,

1057
01:15:06.149 --> 01:15:08.210
<v Speaker 1>I did not do this, but during COVID there were

1058
01:15:08.270 --> 01:15:11.479
<v Speaker 1>certain people that, uh, would try to, you know, work

1059
01:15:11.560 --> 01:15:14.180
<v Speaker 1>outside the medical system and only certain doctors would see

1060
01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:17.800
<v Speaker 1>people that were unvaccinated and stuff that hopefully maybe some, uh,

1061
01:15:18.300 --> 01:15:21.340
<v Speaker 1>doctor patient relationships were built that could be outside of

1062
01:15:21.380 --> 01:15:24.329
<v Speaker 1>the system. Maybe I need to go prepping to do

1063
01:15:24.369 --> 01:15:27.529
<v Speaker 1>for me, go find a doctor that I could actually

1064
01:15:27.590 --> 01:15:30.109
<v Speaker 1>trust outside of the system. I have not done that.

1065
01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:34.319
<v Speaker 1>it would be pretty hard, but it's probably really necessary. Right.

1066
01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>But if, if premiums skyrocket like that, they're going to

1067
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:41.420
<v Speaker 2>be alternatives out there. There's going to be people banding

1068
01:15:41.439 --> 01:15:46.699
<v Speaker 2>together for smaller insurance pools. There's going to be clinics that'll,

1069
01:15:46.899 --> 01:15:48.739
<v Speaker 2>that'll come up and take cash payments.

1070
01:15:49.640 --> 01:15:49.859
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1071
01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:51.979
<v Speaker 2>As soon as, as soon as it's like, there's no

1072
01:15:52.039 --> 01:15:55.359
<v Speaker 2>value there. You're paying insurance premiums and the doctors aren't

1073
01:15:55.380 --> 01:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>getting paid. People are paying too much that those middlemen,

1074
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:04.050
<v Speaker 2>You know, they can't drive that up forever without breaking

1075
01:16:04.100 --> 01:16:07.189
<v Speaker 2>it and people going direct and cutting out the middleman.

1076
01:16:09.170 --> 01:16:12.270
<v Speaker 1>Well, nothing can cut out the middleman quicker and better

1077
01:16:12.310 --> 01:16:16.029
<v Speaker 1>than AI. So there's your efficiencies. Cut out the middleman,

1078
01:16:16.489 --> 01:16:19.970
<v Speaker 1>get all the paperwork to happen 10 times faster, 10

1079
01:16:19.970 --> 01:16:23.869
<v Speaker 1>times more accurate for one-tenth the cost by way of AI.

1080
01:16:23.989 --> 01:16:24.970
<v Speaker 1>There you go.

1081
01:16:24.970 --> 01:16:27.729
<v Speaker 2>And, you know, faster, more accurate diagnoses.

1082
01:16:29.149 --> 01:16:31.789
<v Speaker 1>For sure. For sure. So you ain't pissing away all

1083
01:16:31.850 --> 01:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>these diagnostic tests that are unnecessary or, on the other hand,

1084
01:16:36.260 --> 01:16:39.140
<v Speaker 1>you're treating something right away when it's $ 10, 000 instead of

1085
01:16:39.180 --> 01:16:40.399
<v Speaker 1>six months later when it's $ 80, 000.

1086
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:40.460
<v Speaker 2>Exactly.

1087
01:16:40.760 --> 01:16:43.199
<v Speaker 1>All right.

1088
01:16:44.220 --> 01:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I love these infographics.

1089
01:16:45.979 --> 01:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>They help me learn.

1090
01:16:47.180 --> 01:16:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Love to see one dedicated on what I really think is,

1091
01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:53.659
<v Speaker 2>you know, who cares how much debt you got if

1092
01:16:53.699 --> 01:16:56.750
<v Speaker 2>you have an income that exceeds it, if gross income.

1093
01:16:57.350 --> 01:17:00.750
<v Speaker 2>Domestic product is, is really healthy and leading the world.

1094
01:17:00.770 --> 01:17:02.850
<v Speaker 2>Is that curve flattened?

1095
01:17:04.649 --> 01:17:07.079
<v Speaker 1>So perfect. Here's the, how about the final number of

1096
01:17:07.279 --> 01:17:09.979
<v Speaker 1>all the busyness? The real number, I'd say the real

1097
01:17:10.020 --> 01:17:13.899
<v Speaker 1>number is the 110 plus trillion. That is scary. That's important,

1098
01:17:13.939 --> 01:17:19.739
<v Speaker 1>but it's the, what is the compounded annual growth rate?

1099
01:17:19.880 --> 01:17:24.270
<v Speaker 1>So compounding interest, annual growth rate, the last 15 years,

1100
01:17:25.529 --> 01:17:29.770
<v Speaker 1>the debt has grown by 6.9% every year, compounding upon

1101
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:35.119
<v Speaker 1>itself on average. So 6.9%. We would have to grow 6.9%

1102
01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:40.939
<v Speaker 1>per year at that rate, which is possible, but it's hard.

1103
01:17:41.340 --> 01:17:44.890
<v Speaker 1>I've not seen a 6.9% GDP print. Maybe that one

1104
01:17:44.970 --> 01:17:49.529
<v Speaker 1>quarter after COVID lockdowns were lifted or something. It's not possible, though,

1105
01:17:49.590 --> 01:17:51.609
<v Speaker 1>but we would need that to match even.

1106
01:17:52.310 --> 01:17:53.949
<v Speaker 2>Is that right, though?

1107
01:17:54.029 --> 01:17:55.229
<v Speaker 1>Because....

1108
01:17:56.159 --> 01:18:01.420
<v Speaker 2>You know, growth and its effects on the federal government's

1109
01:18:01.560 --> 01:18:06.529
<v Speaker 2>revenues and taxes, I'm not sure if it's that linear, right?

1110
01:18:08.029 --> 01:18:14.109
<v Speaker 2>If we were running at 6.9% growth, the tax base

1111
01:18:14.250 --> 01:18:17.569
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't just be 6, you know, it's not a 6.9%

1112
01:18:17.569 --> 01:18:21.689
<v Speaker 2>increase in tax revenue. Multiple factors of that, wouldn't it?

1113
01:18:21.689 --> 01:18:26.100
<v Speaker 1>It's a great question. What the call that like the

1114
01:18:26.220 --> 01:18:29.229
<v Speaker 1>inflator or the multiplier. What is that in a one

1115
01:18:29.270 --> 01:18:31.109
<v Speaker 1>year period? But then looking at what is that in

1116
01:18:31.130 --> 01:18:35.210
<v Speaker 1>a five year period? Because, you know, let's say you

1117
01:18:35.229 --> 01:18:37.289
<v Speaker 1>get your paycheck. Well, you're going to spend a certain

1118
01:18:37.310 --> 01:18:40.369
<v Speaker 1>amount pretty quickly. And then that person or business will

1119
01:18:40.430 --> 01:18:42.930
<v Speaker 1>spend theirs and they'll be paying sales tax and income

1120
01:18:42.970 --> 01:18:46.949
<v Speaker 1>tax withholding on all the transaction that, like you said,

1121
01:18:47.050 --> 01:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>spawn out. So I don't, I don't actually know what

1122
01:18:51.020 --> 01:18:55.819
<v Speaker 1>the kind of studies show but it's a great point

1123
01:18:55.859 --> 01:18:57.579
<v Speaker 1>though it's not one for one for sure.

1124
01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:00.229
<v Speaker 2>Taking this to a new challenge level maybe we'll get

1125
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:01.989
<v Speaker 2>to see it in september.

1126
01:19:03.789 --> 01:19:05.989
<v Speaker 1>I like it i this is some good homework this

1127
01:19:06.090 --> 01:19:09.399
<v Speaker 1>is something uh I should just put this transcript. I'm

1128
01:19:09.420 --> 01:19:12.220
<v Speaker 1>going to save this transcript and get going with it.

1129
01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:16.390
<v Speaker 1>I've been using transcripts a lot. They're helpful. But nothing

1130
01:19:16.430 --> 01:19:19.869
<v Speaker 1>like the human brain that sits on our shoulders. Not

1131
01:19:19.909 --> 01:19:22.649
<v Speaker 1>in some lab future, Dan. Another great show in the books.

1132
01:19:23.569 --> 01:19:29.210
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back next week on Patriot Power. Episode 360.

1133
01:19:30.449 --> 01:19:34.090
<v Speaker 2>Wrapping up the summer season in the middle of September.

1134
01:19:34.109 --> 01:19:37.810
<v Speaker 2>A couple more weeks after that. Like always, though, all

1135
01:19:37.829 --> 01:19:40.380
<v Speaker 2>hell breaks loose. We'll be on any night on the

1136
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:42.079
<v Speaker 2>Prepper Broadcasting Network. Good show, Ben.

1137
01:19:42.100 --> 01:19:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Another great show. Talk to you soon, man.
