Unleashed Fury: Gerald Celente Rips Apart the Global Elite in an Explosive Tell-All
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And joining us now, we get the opportunity to speak to a man I respect greatly and admire greatly.
He is the great Gerald Salente, speaking to us from Kingston, New York, the four corners of history.
Gerald, welcome back to The David Knight Show.
I salute you from afar, from New Hampshire, and it's great to see you again after I saw you a few months ago down in Kingston.
Welcome to the show, Gerald.
Thank you, and thank you for your kind words.
And thank you for coming to the...
The Occupy Peace Rally.
It was wonderful.
I loved being able to see you there.
It was great to see Scott Ritter.
The video from Roger Waters was phenomenal.
And what a crowd.
You put on a great show, Gerald.
A great show.
Thank you.
You know, it's so sad that there's no real...
You know, we're doing...
I'm a one-man show.
I mean, you know, we had Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter.
He said, you know...
Randy Critico brought Roger Waters there on a live stream.
And there's no support.
There's no real big support.
Could you imagine if the billionaires put a billion dollars for peace?
We'd have it tomorrow.
Absolutely. We'd have it tomorrow.
Not a penny.
You know, one of my tenants, and you were there, you see the beautiful buildings I have on the four corners of freedom.
Four Corners in America with pre-Revolutionary War stone buildings.
Yeah. One of them I rented out for a number of years to Warren Buffett's son, Peter Buffett.
Oh. Never gave me a penny for peace.
Not a penny for peace.
They have so many other things on their agenda, don't they?
Not a penny for peace.
And again, an arrogant guy.
He never even would say hello.
I'm the landlord.
He wouldn't say hello to me.
I'm only a little guinea from the Bronx.
Don't you know who my daddy is?
Don't you know who my daddy is?
That's the way they look at all of us, like batteries.
For generations, they have looked at us as sources of energy for their war machine and for their special interests.
They're arrogant little pieces of crap.
You call these guys out man to man, they don't know whether to piss a shit.
They fall like that.
They're a bunch of arrogant pieces of crap.
Oh, you don't believe me?
Take a look at what's going on in New York City.
We got little Andy Cuomo.
Another little daddy's boy.
My daddy was Mario Cuomo.
I'm renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge after my daddy.
Oh yeah, a little bastard that closed down New York State and destroyed it when he was the governor of New York?
Oh, they threw him out because what?
He's accused of feeling up chicks?
Unbelievable. Now he's leading the race in New York to become mayors.
And he's all talking about crime and trying to protect people.
How many people died as a result of that guy's policies?
How many old people died because he thought he had the prerogative to take people's tax money and operate a machinery of death putting old people in with each other who were sick?
Yeah. Unbelievable.
Took him out of hospitals.
And put them in nursing homes.
Insane. Absolutely crazy.
And I could keep going on with these daddies, boys.
Let's do another one.
How about just up not far from you, a place called Canada?
Remember little Piet...
What's his name?
Justin. Justin Trudeau?
Yeah. Oh, my daddy.
Was it Fidel Castro?
I forget.
They do look a lot alike.
How about the little slimeball arrogant piece of scum you can knock out like that?
Hey, I'm Anthony Blinken.
I was the Secretary of State under Biden.
Oh, I promoted the Israeli genocide war.
And you know, Gerald, the thing that gets me is they all operate under these artifices of gentility.
Where you've got Justin Trudeau, while he's getting ready to trample a 70-plus-year-old woman out in Ottawa with horses, and he breaches the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and he prevents travel between the provinces,
which is forbidden.
There's supposed to be travel between the provinces.
He sends Canadian troops in there.
What's that?
Facts don't matter.
Yeah, they don't care.
Blinken doesn't care about the Constitution.
He'll jet all around the world, stand very tall, and offer as many weapons as the criminal Netanyahu wants.
And then, to add insult to injury, you've got Fetterman going and meeting with that genocidal maniac and his wife, who's up on charges, and you get another presentation of a beeper.
To Fetterman, and he says, oh yeah, I really loved when I saw that.
They're blowing kids' hands off.
They're blowing people.
Look, what I'm saying is, you know, you're going through all these things.
The facts don't matter.
It's being run by evil people.
End of story.
And I'm going on about how they're all little...
George Carlin, great comedian.
It's one big club and you ain't in it.
Absolutely. And by the way, his brother Patrick used to work for me.
Really? Yeah.
Wow. And for quite a while.
But anyway, look at the little clown boy that you were talking before about, you know, the patriarch, all this other stuff.
Yeah. Georgie Bush.
Yeah. A little moron of a clown.
Don't you know who my daddy was?
Don't you know who my uncle was?
I'm telling you, it's one big club.
Yeah. So we're talking about the facts and what they're doing.
It doesn't make any difference.
They're evil people.
Bottom line, end of story, they're evil people running a country near you.
Gerald, I'm curious to get your thoughts because as we look at the snapshot of things right now, the way they are, and we lay these things out.
It's so easy to recognize how so many people want entrance into the club, right?
You get these people, Pam Bondy, or it's a woman from New Hampshire, Caroline Levitt now, the spokeswoman, coming up with all these ridiculous claims about people who...
Are here on green card status.
And they're going to ship them away because they don't like the protesting on college campuses.
And they're going to use the same kind of terminology that was used by the Bidenistas against Catholics as potential terrorists.
And they're going to ship them out just because they're calling for peace.
So with that snapshot...
The way things are today, I'd love to get your thoughts.
And in fact, we have a Russian team here because we spread the Russian propaganda, Gerald, in my studio.
I want to show people the Trends Journal.
Given what we're seeing today with these attacks on civil liberties, and they're very clearly attacks on civil liberties.
They can't use the Alien Enemies Act unless there's a declared war.
And they're using it anyway.
And conservatives aren't talking about it.
They don't care because they want to be part of that club now.
They think that they're in there.
They think, oh, Kash Patel's in at the FBI.
He's now part of the club.
No, he's being used by the people who control the club.
Tell me what you think right now about things about, for example...
The Middle East, how the Israelis broke the peace, how they continued to insist, and I tried to stress this to people at Antiwar, Dave DeCamp, Max Blumenthal has done a great job covering this, so has Aaron Maté.
As they've described how the Israelis continued to break the ceasefire arrangements, demanding that only certain prisoners be released by Hamas.
You've got to put soldiers out first.
I thought they cared about the civilians.
And then they broke it themselves, starving people.
As we look at that and we look at the threats they're trying to target, Iran, they're bombing the Houthis, Trump coming off a golf course to kill innocent kids in a cancer ward.
Where do you see some of these war trends and how they work towards the trends that you're seeing for things like crude oil and other things that people might start seeing affected here in the United States?
We're going to see if...
Trump keeps talking up going after Iran.
And Israel and the United States go to war with Iran.
You're going to see Brent crude, which is now around $70 a barrel, go to around $120 a barrel.
And that'll crash the global economy and the global equity markets.
Simple as that.
And these are some of the quotes.
This is the BS spewing out of Trump's mouth.
We're going to have peace through strength.
We will not have to fight.
I'm moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace.
I want peace.
I'm not going to start a war.
I'm going to stop wars.
Those are some of Trump's quotes.
What are you talking about?
You're threatening the Houthis.
You're saying you're going to...
Oh, he calls them barbarians.
Oh, they're barbarians?
Oh, why are the Houthis bombing these ships?
They said they're bombing these ships because of what you're doing to the Palestinian people.
And when you stop it, we'll stop it.
How dare they try to stop the slaughter of the Palestinian people?
What's going on in front of everybody's eyes, and it's barely reported in the Western media anymore, the destruction, bombing this place into ruins.
Depending on the numbers you'll look at, Lancet, for example, says well over 100,000 Palestinians have been killed already.
The place has been totally demolished.
Now Israel's violated a ceasefire agreement.
You know, they haven't left Lebanon.
They've gotten five areas that they're securing now.
They're bombing it virtually every day, knocking out entire neighborhoods.
And if you come out against them, well, you're an anti-Semite.
And that's the other thing I really want to make clear.
The people running Israel are not Semites.
Semites, Google it up, are from the Mesopotamia region.
These are Ashkenazi Jews.
Right. A-S-H-K-E-N-A-Z-I.
Ashkenazis. Oh, Ben-Gurion.
No, no.
Not Ben-Gurion.
The cat made up the name, man.
It's great.
Oh, how about Netanyahu?
You mean Milikowski?
Right. These are all Eastern Europeans, Khazars.
And look up how wonderful the Khazars was.
Oh yeah, a murderous group that they had to wipe out at one time.
Oh, by the way, they didn't convert to Judaism into what?
Like about 300 AD or something?
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, over...
What they're doing now, they are going to do everything they can to wipe out the Palestinians.
They've thrown out over 40,000 Palestinians out of the West Bank, out of their homes.
40,000 people.
40,000 people out of their homes.
Oh, and if you fight against them, they're militants.
You're the bad guy.
It's the ultimate gaslight.
It's incredible.
I'll refer actually right now just to show you over at Antiwar.
Here's another example.
Dave DeCamp released this yesterday.
White House.
Trump fully supports Israel's Gaza slaughter.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said Thursday that President Trump fully supports Israel's renewed massive bombing campaign in Gaza, which has killed at least 200 children since Tuesday.
What really strikes me is Caroline Levitt coming from New Hampshire.
Again, don't ask crazy people why they're crazy and murderers why they're...
You don't even waste your time thinking about the person.
Slimeball pieces of crap.
Oh, by the way, I was the assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate.
I used to work on major political campaigns in Westchester County.
I taught American politics and campaign technology.
I had to run political campaigns in Westchester, at St. John's University.
I got pictures of me when I picked up Ronald Reagan, put on a brunch with 69-hour board of directors.
I know what this deal is.
These are low-life pieces of scum.
And that's why I quit.
But I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
So, you know...
Don't waste your time thinking about why these people are doing that.
You don't ask a murderer why they're a murderer, a thief, why they're a thief.
They're evil people.
They're sellout little pieces of scum.
So going back to what you were talking about with Trump, what you were just reading.
Yeah. Trump warns Yemen Houthis there will be, quote, Completely annihilated.
He said, tremendous damage has been inflicted upon the Houthi barbarians.
And watch how it will get progressively worse.
It's not even a fair fight, never will be.
This is Trump wrote this.
They will be completely annihilated.
That's out of the mouth of this fat boy who, same age as I am, who got four or five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.
Right. Real tough guy.
Real tough guy.
Oh, you know what one of the deferments was when he got out?
A bone spur on his ankle.
He must have been playing too much golf before he went to bomb people.
Yeah. His daddy got him out.
I had lunch with Trump's brother in 2017, his brother Robert.
Robert had a restaurant over here.
Its story was it was one of Trump's old girlfriends.
He would help him keep it going.
Anyway, I spent three hours with him.
The brother told me that when the father died, he left the family over half a billion dollars worth of real estate.
Trump is nothing more than a spoiled daddy's boy.
That's all he is.
And now he talks real tough.
A lying piece of scum, and I'm saying that from what he said before.
Are you ready?
I want to see the Middle East get back to peace and real peace.
But a peace that is going to be a lasting peace, I want immediate peace.
Hey, Slimeball, you just said...
That you're going to annihilate the Houthis and you're calling them barbarians.
Oh, don't call the Israelis barbarians for slaughtering all these innocent people.
Oh no, how dare you!
Right. Right, exactly.
It reminds me of the words of a mafioso in a region where the mafia has claimed control and they're now trying to expand their territory.
They've got agents in some other place that are engaging in killing people and assassinating people.
And when somebody from a nearby town says, I'm going to try to bring peace so that those people can get food, they're now going to attack them, the Houthis, and they're claiming that they're the bad guys.
It is pure...
It's incredible.
And the thing that gets me about it is I was listening to Dave DeCamp talk about one of the surgeons who went down into Gaza from America and has repeatedly gone in and the descriptions of what had been done to those kids and women.
And how these people can act in this way and additionally swear owes to the Constitution without even getting a declared war.
And get away with it means that it's incumbent on me to educate and try to spread the word as much as possible.
Again, what's your favorite war?
Do you like the Peloponnesian War?
Maybe you like the Hundred Year War.
Oh, the War of Roses was so lovely.
Hey, what's your favorite crusade?
Oh, I like the 12th better than the 8th.
All right, this stuff has been going on forever.
These are evil people.
You see, you mentioned the mafia.
All right?
As an Italian, you always hear about the mafia, you know, the mafia, the mafia.
Yeah. All right.
How about the royal family?
Hey, if they were Italian, you'd call them a mafia.
What royal family?
In what country are you talking about?
Oh, the royal family in Belgium that slaughtered people all over the Congo?
Oh, no, no, you mean the royal family of the United Kingdom where the sun never set on the British Empire and we slaughtered people all over the world.
If they were Italian, they'd call them the mafia.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, I'm tired of this mafia shit.
Gerald, I want to show you something fun.
Che Bose from Moscow Mules posted this earlier today.
I think you'll appreciate it.
I showed it a few minutes ago on the show.
UK police have released images of two people seen wearing stolen jewels from India and South Africa in central London yesterday.
They are both unemployed and totally reliant on state benefits.
Look at this.
This is a clown show.
It's a clown show.
Look at them.
What human being would go so low to dress like that?
You think it's Halloween every day?
Unbelievable. Incredible.
I know.
That's what I'm trying to say.
It's a crime syndicate.
If they were Italian, all these people, you'd call it a mafia.
It's a mafia.
They are murderers and thieves.
Gerald, I'm curious to get your thoughts, and I do want to mention that if people want to get a subscription to Trends Journal and they want to see all the great reporting that you and your team do, they can still get 10% off if they put the code NIGHT in.
Is that correct, Gerald?
That's it.
Great stuff.
It's so inexpensive.
And the reporting on it, you can see over on the screen, everybody, the Trends Journal.
Told you so.
Here's the told you.
Gold prices would sizzle.
Equity markets would fizzle, and that's exactly right.
And you've got over here, Trump orders airstrikes on Yemen over Houthi defense of Gazans being starved by Israel.
These are the types of reports that I appreciate because I'm getting truth, and I'm getting a person who looks at these things and has for a long time, looks at these trends, looks at the importance of sound money.
Looks at what the United States government has done to artificially pump up certain sectors of the economy, like the housing sector, and knows what's coming.
And you predicted these things, Gerald.
Yeah, look, again, when you put the night thing in there, it costs a grand total of $2.50 a week.
The magazine we cover from High Tech Science, Technocracy.
AI, geopolitics, economics.
We give people everything we can.
You can listen to it.
It comes in different languages.
It's a book.
It could flip.
You could pipe out the PDF.
And this is, by the way, or else you could spend $4 a day and you could subscribe to the toilet paper or record, the New York Times.
Look at this stupid thing.
Look at all this wasted space for a story.
Best tech for babies.
This is the business section.
They're giving you nothing.
The media's gone.
We're giving the people everything we can.
And this is an important trend.
I'm going to talk about two of them that nobody's talking about.
One is the office building bust that's going to crash a lot of the banking system.
And you can see the bank stocks going way down now.
When they launched the COVID war and they made people work from home, You now have an office vacancy rate in the 10 largest cities in America of almost 20%.
Nobody in them.
So now the COVID war began five years ago.
January 2020.
Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat.
That's when they launched it.
Now the leases are coming up after all that time.
They're not renewing them.
There's going to be major defaults on these buildings.
I'll give you the facts.
Midtown Manhattan, last year, 50th Street.
A building that was sold for over $300 million, and you can Google it up, in 2006, was sold last year for $8.5 million.
Wow. Sports Illustrated used to be there.
Here's the deal.
The building, again, on 50th Street, Midtown Manhattan, was in the middle of the street.
No windows on that side, no windows on that side, no windows in the back.
Buildings built within the last 50 years are not convertible to residential buildings.
End of story.
They're knocking it down and they're going to build something else there.
This is going on all over the country.
I just told you, showed you this.
There is no journalism anymore.
They're not reporting on this.
This is going to bring down the banking system.
Number two...
It's so insulting.
And it's such a slight to...
It's so disrespectful of people.
Because these are facts that are staring us in the face.
Yep. Not being reported at all.
There's no more journalism anymore.
It's gone.
Again, you could...
You could thank, in part, this guy.
This is a t-shirt that I did in 1992.
It's classic.
Clinton was running for office.
I love that.
That was great.
This is the slime ball that gave us the Federal Communications Act in 1996.
Yep. Wiped out all the independent media.
Did away with all the laws that prevented the bigs from taking over.
Now six companies control over 92% of America's media.
So that people aren't getting anything.
Number two.
Dot-com bust 2.0.
You're going to see the dot-com markets bust big time.
And this is your trends journal when it used to be a quarterly.
Now it's a weekly.
Story over here, dot-com this.
This is 1999, fall edition.
We said the markets would crash, the dot-com...
Yeah, I'll read it to you.
Yeah. Dot-com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment, and a wider array of dot-com services.
Following the holiday season, many of today's high-flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs...
And newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
We said it would crash by the second quarter of 2000, and it did.
Nailed it.
We are going to have a dot-com bust, and I'm going to give you the facts of why.
And it's going to crash the markets, and gold prices are going to skyrocket.
Here's why.
I just talked about Slick Willie Clinton.
This is the guy that gave us NAFTA and gave us China into the World Trade Organization.
Tracking trends is making connections between different fields.
Let's go back to 2000, just before China got into the World Trade Organization.
10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
10%. Today?
Nearly 70%.
What does that mean?
Let's go back to the end of January.
All of a sudden we hear about this company we never heard of before.
DeepSeek. DeepSeek?
Oh yeah.
A Chinese company.
We don't need those big chips for AI.
We need smaller chips.
And... It's not costing us $100 million to pull this off.
We did it for $6 million.
On January, I think it was January 27th, NVIDIA stocks dove 17%, wiped out $600 billion of value.
One day.
All right?
Totally out of the news now.
By the way, NVIDIA, look it up.
The most used...
AI in the world.
Not NVIDIA, excuse me, DeepSeek.
DeepSeek is now the most used AI in the world.
Okay. I'm mentioning about all the young people going to college.
Young people are totally, totally high-tech addicted.
It's a different world.
This is their mindset.
China is going to lead the world in AI.
And again, you don't have to believe me.
Look at the facts.
Hey, take a look at the Hang Seng.
Oh yeah, why?
Look at it.
From the end of January, it was down like that.
Deep Seek hits.
Woof. Yep.
Way, way up.
They're investing in these high-tech companies out of China.
You go by the numbers.
What do they got?
1.4 billion people over there.
What do we have over here?
About 340 million.
All right?
You got all these young people that are AI addicted.
Now, again, we only write the facts in the Trends Journal.
The government is now supporting it as well.
So they're going to take over and all of these people, they, here, the automobile was what?
Invented like what?
1886 or something.
Right. Do you invest all your money in the first company that invented the automobile?
You don't invest your money in the beginning of a trend.
Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die.
AI only began in 2022.
So everybody started investing in these American companies when the trend just began.
Just what happened with the dot-com thing.
Right. And so we're looking at a dot-com bust that's going to happen.
You have to have a test of the different types of entries into the market.
And people are so eager to just jump aboard.
They don't realize sometimes they're jumping aboard a wagon that's got a square wheel.
You got it.
Yeah. So those are two trends that are, and then again, gold we're very bullish on.
And again, you look at the magazine cover.
Gold prices are up 14% this year.
Last year, one of our top trends was a golden year for gold.
Gold went up 27% last year.
This is amazing.
The world has had enough of the United States hegemony.
It's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar.
And Gerald, you know...
I was speaking with Jason Sorens of the American Institute for Economic Research over in Great Barrington, not too far from you, you know, and a beautiful area.
And in fact, I passed by there when I drove down.
The first time I met you when David was there, I passed by the Great Barrington Institute and their building.
And so Jason's with them and he was speaking down in New Orleans.
And we were talking about how because of the pressure from American exporters and Donald Trump's mindset.
Powell signaled, of course, the day before yesterday, they're keeping rates as they are.
And I worry greatly that to try to stimulate American exports and, of course, to try to give some bump to the economy as Trump comes in, they're going to pursue even further an inflationary program, which will make everything you just mentioned even worse when the crash comes sometime this year or next year.
I think the crash is going to come this year on the dot-com bust.
Again, since we made that forecast, the Nasdaq went into correction territory, down more than 10%.
The S&P is just on the fringe of going into correction territory.
And the Dow's down again today.
Yep. And I'm telling you, I've been at this for 45 years.
I've never seen a time like this.
And what you're saying about Trump saying he wants to lower the value of the dollar so exports could increase.
And it's not only that what's going to bring down the value of the dollar, the world has had enough of the United States hegemony, be it geopolitical or economic.
And the dollar is the top reserve currency.
That's coming to an end.
And when the dollar goes down, gold prices go up.
It's as simple as that.
Now, let's go back to what's going on.
Again, Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
He's full of crap.
I go by the facts, as I just read about what he said about peace.
How about this one?
Before he becomes president, he says, when I become president, I'm going to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
Not my language, his.
Then what happened in January?
The Federal Reserve kept interest rates where they were.
What did Trump say?
Well, they did the right thing by keeping interest rates where they are.
Hey, wait a minute, fat mouth.
You just said you wanted to lower them.
Yeah, I know, but I speak out of both sides of my mouth.
So what happened the other day on Wednesday when the Fed said we're not going to raise interest rates?
What did Trump say?
They've got to lower interest rates.
Hey, it got sunk.
You just said a month ago that it was okay with it.
He keeps going back and forth.
It's like his terror for rhetoric.
You know, one of the things that economist Robert Higgs, I brought up that ratcheting effect, when Higgs released that book Crisis on Leviathan years ago, he talked about one of the early things I learned from reading his economics stuff from the Mises Institute was how during the Great Depression...
Businesses, business people were very reluctant to get back into starting any business because they didn't know how much they were going to get hit by that criminal FDR.
They didn't know what the taxes were going to be.
So their investments and things got delayed.
There's this uncertainty factor that is just rampant in the United States.
In addition, as you say, to the absolutely ridiculous military spending and the way that the United States is meddling in so much now causing problems.
For Americans who want to get oil from the Middle East, it's going to get ridiculous.
And I don't see, Trump seems to be in a mad scramble, which I applaud, to allow the United States to be able to do exploration and recovery of energy.
And that would be great.
But in the meantime...
How about you stop spending all this money and stop going along with the Republicans and claiming that they're cutting spending when they're not?
Thomas Massey and Rand Paul have pointed it out.
The budget increases.
It doesn't decrease.
It's insanity.
And going back to Trump, what did they just do yesterday?
Yeah. With sanctions on Iran to cut back their oil income.
And yet they go after the Houthis.
Because the Houthis are blocking trade, as they say.
Originally, the Houthis were only targeting the Israeli shipping and the American shipping because it was a response to the aggression of the Zionist state.
So the very tactics that they derived from other states, they apply to the Russian economy.
You can't do trade with the Russians.
We're going to go after these two guys from Turkey.
Why? Well, they wanted to buy some stuff from Russia.
So we're going to sanction them.
It's the same thing.
They do the same thing, and yet the pot calls the kettle black.
It's insane.
You know, going back, you mentioned about FDR, and I'm going to talk about gold.
My father, may he rest in peace, told me this story that he said, you know, I was dating your mother.
They got married in 1934.
He said, I go over to your grandfather's house.
It was 1933.
And your grandfather was wrapping up all his gold.
He had a load of gold coins.
I said, Pop, what are you doing this for?
He said, your grandfather said to me, well, the president wants our gold and I'm a true American and I'm turning into gold.
And my father said, what are you, out of your mind?
Don't do that.
He said, your grandfather started cursing at me in Italian.
You don't know what you're talking about.
FDR. Made the people turn in their gold and they turned it in for $20.67 an ounce.
1933. Oh, but he was so honest just a little while after that.
It was wonderful what he did after that, right?
Right. He increased the price of gold with the Gold Reserve Act to $35 an ounce.
So after he stole it from the people...
We raised the price.
70% increase.
Now, I'm going to fast forward.
Trump and Musk spewing out this crap.
We're going to go into Fort Knox and see what they got in there.
Hey, they already know what's in there.
What are you, kidding me or what?
Exactly. So, here's a wild card.
I believe...
They're going to make a big deal about going into Fort Knox, and they're going to say, it's loaded with gold.
We have more gold than anybody else in the world.
And they're going to pass a Gold Reserve Act and raise the price of gold so that they can cover $6 trillion debt.
Hey, we got the money to cover the debt.
We're okay.
That's very astute.
That's a really good theory.
That's very interesting.
That would be one way that they could get out a lot of that debt.
Exactly. I never thought, that's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Wow. And that's why we're very bullish on gold.
Again, we don't give financial advice.
Yeah. You know, the Trends Journal.
And going back, by the way, what you're saying about subscribing, we're losing subscribers.
And because we're speaking out against genocide.
This is an email that I got yesterday.
Unsubscribe me.
Your take on Israel conflict is awful.
I wrote back.
Yes, you are unsubscribed.
The Trends Journal is not a magazine for evil people who support Israeli genocide.
And then I put the links of all of the Amnesty International, Human Rights, International Court, all the people that are calling it genocide.
So it's not my language.
Good job.
Good job.
So that's what's going on.
So if you want, we're doing everything again.
I put my money where my heart is.
I have launched Occupied Peace.
We put out a magazine.
There's no magazine in the world.
If anybody could show me one that comes close to the Trends Journal, let me know.
You see it.
There's nothing like it.
And Gerald, your reports on YouTube are phenomenal.
Your segments on X are phenomenal.
I hope people will follow you.
We'll show them your X feed in just a minute.
Your conversations with Andrew Napolitano, phenomenal.
Just great, great stuff.
And your admiration for the people who truly speak for peace.
As we know, Roger Waters can barely come close to Germany.
Because they claim that Roger Waters, in speaking out against fascism and doing portrayals of fascists in a mocking and insightful way in some of his stage performances, they claim that he's promoting fascism.
Holding the line on the truth is so important now.
And you're doing a terrific job at Trends Journal.
You just inspired me.
What I think will be really fun would be for me to get together with my subscription with family members into little Zoom calls.
And maybe once a week, we compare notes on different stories that we think are important in different publications.
And we get together and read these things with each other.
I think that that might be a fun idea.
Or maybe I'll do it on Liberty Conspiracy and just bring up, hey, here's one from Trends Journal.
Here's one from this as a separate thing, because I think it's important to promote the work of good people like what you're doing.
And Gerald, you reminded me, I definitely wanted to ask you about this as we see the sort of sleight of hand, the ledger domain of the Trump administration.
Last time you and I spoke, I know we talked a little bit about your experience in school being hit by the nun.
And I related to you the experience I had being thrown in the closet by that teacher when I was in seventh grade.
And I actually see that woman now at the post office and I've let it go.
I actually almost started to cry one time because I actually started to talk to this woman and I forgave her in my heart.
And so now I do see her and we smile and it's different for me now.
But I remember what that was like.
And so I wanted to get your thoughts a little bit, Gerald, as we see things like this generational fight from people like...
My father, who worked for Reagan, trying to dismantle the education department, the centralization and just the philosophical mindset that everything's got to be done by the group, negating the ability of individuals to make their own relationships with each other.
What do you think about this announcement of Trump dismantling the Department of Education when, in fact, they haven't even released the White House executive order?
They already said on Forbes, I read the piece that said, well, they're not really dismantling it.
They're just going to do it differently.
What do you think about this announcement and just generally the trend of many of the promises of the Trump administration?
Again, I just read to you a bunch of his going back and forth on.
Hey, listen to me.
I'm going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours when I get elected.
It got sung.
I mean, it was a couple of months now.
Right. And now he wants their nuclear plants.
After I got elected, I'm going to end that war before I get into office.
Again, the guy just talks crap.
Yeah. And it's a crap show.
Again, it's not only him.
It's one after another.
You mentioned the disgusting Biden administration.
You know, keep going back.
I mean, here, could Orwell come up with a better name than the Patriot Act that robbed us of all our freedom?
Yeah, and now they're leveraging that sort of rhetoric, and you and Andrew Napolitano have spoken about this.
They're leveraging that rhetoric against people on college campuses who simply are doing what we're doing.
And they're using the Alien Enemies Act, and these fatuous, canard-filled people in Washington aren't even acknowledging the fact that the statute itself says, during a declared war.
They haven't done that since World War II.
It amazes me that they can get away with this stuff.
And I was surprised someone on MSNBC actually brought it up and said, well, you know, it's supposed to be during a declared war.
That was one of the few times I've actually seen them note what's actually written down in a statute that's easily provable.
And they do this all the time.
I don't know why the MAGA people are in this twisted mindset where because their guy is in there, they think that they should throw all their support to him.
Why did they go for Hitler?
Did they like Mussolini?
It's the morons that just follow their leader.
Here, this is from July 15th, 2024.
Biden says he considers himself a Zionist.
All right?
But you're a Zionist?
You mean this political movement has nothing to do with religion?
Zionism has nothing to do with religion.
He's made up of this guy, what, Herzl?
What was his name?
Theodore Herzl.
1890s? Oh, and here's the other thing.
I'm tired of hearing this fairy tale.
God told Abraham 3,500 years ago that this land belongs to the Jewish people.
Hey, what if God got locked?
Sure, that's the only person he ever talked to any time in 3,500 years ago.
I got to believe this fairy tale of yours.
Yeah, and David brought up a distinction that many of the strong Christians, not the Zionist Christians, bring up, which is that there's a difference between political Israel under the polis and Israel under the New Testament.
And people just don't want to face this.
I don't want to believe in anybody.
Your religion is your religion.
That's what you believe in.
I don't want to believe anybody's religion.
Believe in what you want to believe in, but don't tell me I have to believe in it.
That's all I say.
Yes, do whatever you want to do.
Don't tell me...
Again, I started a church, Universal Church of Freedom, Peace and Justice.
Began it three years ago.
Yeah. So, believe in your God, but don't tell me I have to believe in it.
And by the way, there's a whole article that came out.
They just found another skull or human bones from a million and a half years ago.
Right. Oh, no, no, no!
Everything began when God told Abraham!
Get the hell out of here.
Don't want to hear it.
Gerald, I'm curious to think, to speculate, and I don't want to speculate too far, about first with Ukraine.
It seems like we just heard the announcement that Trump is now floating the idea of the United States running the nuclear plants in Ukraine, which would mean just insanity.
And then if we look at the targeting of Iran, and pick either one or both as we offer you the opportunity to give the final word on what you think, and maybe it's really too chaotic to speculate.
No, it's not at all.
Please, offer your opinion.
Yeah. I got banned from TikTok for saying that Kiev is not going to come to any kind of peace agreement with Russia because Russia's not going to give back the land that they got.
And what they're going to do is they're going to escalate this war.
And they're going to bomb nuclear power plant, some false flag event to get support to keep the war going.
Go to your Trends Journal this week and look at what Europe is doing, one country after another, the whole NATO spending more and more money on defense spending.
It's right there for everybody to see.
Exactly. And the EU now, with their five to ten year plan under Wunderland and those other criminal people wanting their own military.
Yes. They're ramping up the war.
Because one of my sayings is when all else fails, they take you to war.
All these economies are failing.
Germany, the third largest economy in the world, is in recession.
Oh, they just passed this big, big bill to spend more money on defense?
And they're bragging.
All of Europe is bragging that this is going to create jobs.
Again, it's in your magazine.
This is insanity.
It's insanity.
No, it's not going to create jobs.
What it's going to do is cost more money and produce nothing.
Exactly. It's not like you're manufacturing clothing that people are buying.
No. You're manufacturing weapons that nobody's buying that you're spending money to have.
So that's what's going to go on with the Ukraine war.
They're going to ramp up the war against Iran.
Make this really clear.
91 million people in Iran.
How many Jews in Israel?
About 7 million.
Wait a minute.
91 million against 7 million?
Oh, Iran, Persians, very advanced scientifically, technologically, and militarily.
Oh, the United States is going to get involved in the war.
Hey, haven't won a war since World War II.
Or you wouldn't have won that without the Russians.
I forgot that.
But anyway.
Can't win the Vietnam War.
You only killed three and a half million.
Couldn't win the Iraq War.
They only killed over a little million there.
A couple of hundred thousand over in Afghanistan.
Oh, you're going to beat the Iranians?
This is going to be World War III.
Look up the Samson option.
S-A-M-S-O-N.
Yes, yes, yes.
Israel says if they lose, they go nuclear.
Yep. And it amazes me that they're constantly trying to blow this dog whistle about Iran developing nuclear weapons when Israel is the one that got the nuclear weapons through clandestine means starting in the 1950s onwards.
Iran has always been open to nuclear inspections.
They always show that they're not refining their fissile material to a point where they're making bombs.
It's for energy production.
And the United States has that country surrounded.
And, Gerald, I have to tell you, last night when I was listening to Dave DeCamp on the anti-war video that they release every night at midnight, essentially, that covers a lot of the antiwar.com stories.
This is the first time.
I usually don't go this far.
But I got a sinking feeling that there's going to be a false flag that they blame on Iran.
I'm telling you.
Yeah. What's that?
Yeah. They're doing it already.
They're blaming Iran for supporting the Houthis.
Yeah. Yeah.
Good point.
Trump is already coming out and saying he's going to destroy them.
Yeah. Yeah.
So true.
Well, look, Gerald.
We're almost out of time, but I do want to make sure that I stress, filling in for David and the audience here, I want to thank everyone.
I know there are a number of comments that people have, so many people that are in here, and this is very interesting.
We've got comments all over X. That I can't even keep track of.
There's so many comments.
Inside Rockfin as well and inside Rumble.
And I want to thank everyone for being there.
And I want to just mention, and I'll go through a couple of comments after we say goodbye.
But I want to just mention, Gerald, again, that people can get the Trends Journal for 10% off.
By putting in the code NIGHT.
And I am going to start picking up that habit.
If I can get some family members, every once a week, every one of us grab one or two little articles that we think are important or a couple times a week and we get together on Zoom and we compare notes on some of these things.
Or maybe I do it on my Liberty Conspiracy show with audience members or something.
Because I think it's important to make these connections.
And I'll come down and see you in Kingston again very, very soon.
Anytime. Yeah, it's a wonderful, wonderful atmosphere you've created, Gerald, and you're a wonderful guy, and I really appreciate what you do.
And I really appreciate what you do.
I mean, the information you have, the knowledge that you have, and what you're doing, you know, it's a rarity.
There aren't many cats out there doing what you're doing.
So I thank you so much for what you are doing and what David and everyone's doing.
And again, we're in a critical time, and it's going to be the end of life on Earth if this keeps going.
Gerald, I appreciate it so much.
You bring the jazz of life, good man.
You bring the jazz of life.
And I'll be back in touch with you through email.
And maybe you can pop in on my Liberty Conspiracy show some evening or something like that, and we'll have a great time.
We'll talk about Louis Belson on drums.
All right.
Thank you so much, Gerald Salente.
Remember, everybody, get the Trends Journal.
It's muy, muy fantastic.
Gerald, I'll see you in the Four Corners.
I'll bring you dinner sometime, all right?
All right.
Thanks a lot, man.
Thanks, Gerald.
Gerald Salenti, great stuff from Gerald.
