Dragflation & America’s $220 Trillion Debt Heart Attack
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome back and joining us now is Gerald Slinty.
Really interested in hearing what he has to say.
And of course, if you want to know what he has to say, you can get Trends Journal at uh Trendsjournal.com and you can use the code Knight to get a big discount there.
And uh I think it's something like uh two dollars a week, isn't it, Gerald?
And uh three hundred three hundred pages or so that he has there.
Truly amazing.
Well it's a magazine, you know, you read what you want from high-tech science to technocracy, the geopolitics, the economics, um, you know, AI, we all you know, we give you everything you you need.
And this is what makes us different than everybody, by the way.
Let's talk about the Israel war.
We subscribe to Ahnet's the Israeli newspaper.
Pay to go there.
We go to Jerusalem Post, we go to Times of Israel, we go to um YNET.
When you hear what the Israelis have to say.
Oh, we also go to Press TV, Tehran Times, IRNA, ISNA, wanna hear what the Iranians have to say.
Yeah.
Oh, we go to Arab News, we go to Al Jazeera, we want to hear what the Arabs have to say.
Oh, we go to France 24, we go to Euro News, etc.
We want to hear what the Europeans have to say, what the Americans have to say, and then we say, this is what they're saying.
This is our analysis, and this is where we see it going.
So there's no propaganda.
Yeah, only the facts.
That's right.
And nobody does that.
Nobody gives you trends analysis and trend forecasts.
You don't know how to do it.
Yeah.
Again, you know, I have best selling books, Trends 2000, trend tracking, yeah.
I've been at this 45 years.
So and again, you go to night and you put the link in, it's $2.50 a week.
Nothing.
Yeah, it's amazing.
And it's a it's a great online format.
I really like the way it's set up online.
It's like uh again, if you don't want to, you could go to the New York Times, the toilet paper record.
This is the business section, five dollars for the weekend edition.
They've gone full USA Today, haven't they?
There's nothing, there's once upon a time, it was all copied.
There were no pictures.
Yeah.
They don't have journalists anymore.
It's over.
Yeah.
It's finished.
The people don't have a clue what's going on.
So I'm sorry, what did you begin talking about?
What do you want to say?
Well, you know, you picked uh you picked gold as being a big investment.
Well, we've seen uh gold having yet another moment, another run-up into record territory.
It's up 34% this year, and in just the last couple of weeks, it jumped like two percent from a Friday to Friday, as I pointed out, and then it was like up another three percent from Friday to Labor Day, and uh then over a 24-hour period this week, it went up another two percent.
Uh what's going on with that?
And is that going to continue?
What do you think?
It's going to continue.
Yeah.
I think so because all of the fundamentals are there.
I started buying gold in the late 1970s.
It's 163 dollars an ounce.
It went up to 850 by 1980.
So uh you had a good run right there.
Yeah.
And um as we're going on the air, just for it hit almost $3,600 today.
Really?
Wow.
Yeah.
And now it's when I got off, it was like $3,000 five hundred and eighty-two dollars an ounce.
Wow.
Wow.
The reason it spiked up again, it's very simple.
They came out with the new job numbers.
Did you see them?
Yeah.
No, I haven't seen the new job numbers, but uh I saw that they were going to be uh they were anticipating them to be low.
How low were they?
22,000 jobs.
What?
Wow.
That's it.
Is that including uh federal jobs and government jobs?
Because I remember the previous job report.
I tried to make it look good, but it was that's everything that's including the government growing, yeah.
Wow.
So initially the Dow this morning went way up.
Now, as I got on the air, it was down about 300 points, all of them in the red.
All right, so here's the deal.
They're gonna lower interest rates.
Yeah.
That's why the dollars go the dollar the lower interest rates Go the deeper the dollar falls.
Gold is dollar-based.
The deeper the dollar falls, when our other currencies go up, it's cheaper for them to buy gold.
And gold is the number one safe haven asset.
You know the covers of the Trends Journal.
Well, in 2024, we said a golden year for gold.
Yeah.
It only went up 30% that year.
Yeah.
And we said it's going to keep.
Now, I'm going to tell you again.
When Trump got elected, gold prices plummeted.
Boom.
They went way down.
A couple hundred points.
100 bucks.
And then started going up.
First the tariffs, and then lower interest rates.
You only go by the facts.
It's not what you want, what you like, what you wish, it's what is.
Let's go back to we've talked about this.
And of course it went up.
And everybody was expecting that he was going to do great things for crypto.
And of course he has with his family done great things.
I think Eric Trump just had a half a billion dollar uh windfall from it.
But uh and it's become their primary investment.
Uh but uh even on Bitcoin and crypto, uh he failed to meet expectations.
Again, you know, it this it's disgusting that the the they're doing this.
If you or I say let's do our own crypto, it would go nowhere.
Hey, but I'm a Trump, all right?
Yeah.
All right.
Exactly.
I'm a Trump, you're a nobody.
Again, I had lunch with his brother, I told you, Robin, back in 2017 in Wasaic across the river over here.
He had a restaurant.
And um he told me when the father died, he left the family over, the father died, I think, in 2002, left them over a half a billion dollars.
Trump's nothing more than a spoiled daddy's boy, the same with his kids.
Yeah.
Again, look what they're doing with Intel.
With 15% now with the government, we're in partners with them.
Isn't that amazing?
This Italian guy, and that wasn't a fan of mine in the past.
His name was Benito Mussolini.
The merger is state and corporate powers is called fascism.
All right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's the definition.
It's right in front of our eyes.
That's right.
Right in front of our eyes.
The crypto.
Oh, this is a Trump that hated crypto.
You oh, oh, everybody forgot that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, oh, Bitcoin's killing a dollar.
It's terrible.
This is that that guy.
Everybody is so afraid of him, and what he says, you know, all he has to do is criticize the CEO of Intel, and all of a sudden they're begging for an audience with him, and the next thing you know, uh, he's taking uh a big share of interest in Intel.
And uh, this is a guy who couldn't run casinos profitably.
What do you think he's going to do with uh a semiconductor company that by the way uh was I think one of if not the worst performing of the big tech companies over the last uh couple of years or so again?
It's the merger of state and corporate powers.
Yeah, the the big powerful keep getting bigger, stealing our money to do it, and it it's a it's a it's a crime syndicate.
Here, you ready?
This is uh the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
Bitcoin mining company backed by Trump's son's surges after list after listing.
Yep, shares jumped about 17% Wednesday.
Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
The Bitcoin mining company.
Uh uh and other American Bitcoin shareholders own about 88% of the combined company.
What a joke.
Yeah, they're saying his stake now in crypto is worth more than the value of all 13 golf course and resort properties.
So that's what they're moving everything into.
So now going back to gold.
Okay.
With the lousy job numbers, they know that they're going to lower interest rates.
The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
The deeper the dollar falls, the cheaper it is for other currencies, people with other currencies to buy gold.
So now the lower interest rates go, the higher inflation goes.
Get ready for dragflation.
Ray Dalio is calling it stagflation.
Stagflation is a thing of the past.
It's not going to stagnate.
It's going to go down.
Declining economic growth and rising inflation.
Dragflation.
Mm-hmm.
He also said that he thinks we're going to have a debt-induced heart attack.
And he says he gives it two, maybe three years at the most.
What do you think about that?
He's 100% correct.
You know, I I was just on uh today with Gary Null.
Uh uh and he has a great program, uh Progressive Radio Network.
And he was saying that when you put in all the debt level corporate debt and on and on and on, we're about 220 trillion dollars in debt, not 37 trillion.
And this this is very important too.
Again, we're talking about crypto.
Again, like it, hate it.
You know, we've been bullish on it because of what it is, not because we like it.
And now you're hearing about this um here we go.
You ready for this?
Mm-hmm.
This is from the Financial Times yesterday.
London's bullion trade to trial digital form of gold.
The World Gold Council is seeking to launch a digital form of gold, a move that could revolutionize London's 900 billion physical market for the precious metal by creating a new way to trade, settle, and collateralize bullion.
The new format would create the ability, quote, to pass gold digitally around the global ecosystem as collateral for the first time, said David Tate, chief executive of the World Gold Council.
Yeah, you've got to be careful about uh when they make tokens and securitization out of real assets because we saw how that went with the with real estate.
Uh is this going to be another how does this differ or does it differ from the ETF of uh gold and silver and things like that?
It differs in the sense that they say it's physical and you could get it with ETFs you don't.
Yeah.
This is important.
This is very important because this could wipe out a lot of the digital currencies.
Mm-hmm.
That are backed by nothing.
This is backed by gold.
And this could be a challenge to the stable coins as well, because stable coin is backed by the currency.
By the dollar, yeah.
So it's literally stable.
Not stable at all, an instable coin.
Yeah.
Or destabilized coin.
There's not a coin and it's not stable, but yeah, here I got something I want to sell you.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a way for them to strike you.
Yeah.
What I'm what I'm saying to you, nobody's repeating.
This is very important.
It just came out yesterday.
Gold goes digital, you're going to see it skyrocket.
You can see $10,000 gold.
That's true.
That's true.
It's going to wipe out the other.
The world is digital.
As I say, they misspelt it in the in the King's James Bible.
They say the meek shall inherit the earth.
The geeks have inherited the earth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, what do you think about silver as well?
I know that doesn't have the positive on that too.
Yeah, it doesn't have the big upside of going digital, I guess.
Although they could do it with that as well.
And then uh you you mentioned the fact that when you pull in all of the unfunded liabilities and debt, uh, including things like Social Security obligations and stuff like that.
A couple hundred trillion dollars.
But um I thought it was very ominous when uh Doug Bergum, who's now the Interior Secretary, when he was having his confirmation hearings, he said, yeah, we've got a lot of natural resources.
We got one or two hundred trillion dollars worth of natural resources, and that's been repeated again by uh Scott Bessant and Howard Lutnik saying that they've got an idea about how they can put the 200 trillion dollars worth of natural assets that we've got to work.
Uh do you think they're setting us up for some kind of a uh a pump and dump and that they're going to essentially use the uh uh crash that they set up and digital uh assets to uh collateralize it with uh natural resources and send those out of the city.
They may try and do that.
Oh, you mentioned Lutnik, you mean his son that's also in the crypto gang?
Yeah.
That Lutnik?
Yeah, Lutnik, Whitckoff, Jerkoff, all those guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's amazing to me to see we've never had anybody just openly get involved in conflicts of interest like this.
And that's really right in front of your eyes.
Right, right.
Again, this crypto thing is a it's a scam right in front of your eyes.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, hey, remember this one?
Remember Trump and and um Musk?
We're going into Fort Knox.
Yeah, that's right.
That disappeared, didn't it?
What do happened?
That's right.
Don't hear anything about that.
I think it was a hoax.
He likes to call the Epstein stuff a hoax, but I think that was a hoax.
Uh Besson has said that we've got a housing emergency.
They're gonna declare something about that and do something uh uh coming up this fall, he said.
What do you think they're likely to do when they declare housing to be an emergency?
He said everything is on the table.
Uh what do you think they might do about that?
They gotta try to lower it lower more uh mortgage rates.
And that and yet and again, that doesn't come about by lowering interest rates.
That's right.
We've seen it when they lowered the interest rates to banks that the longer term interest rates for mortgages actually went up because people looked at that and said that's gonna be inflationary.
So I need to, if I'm gonna walk in a loan for 30 years, I need to get it at a higher rate.
So uh how were they gonna do it by fiat?
Like they make up any crap they want.
Again, you know, people would say, you know, I'm a futurist.
Nobody could predict the future.
Right.
I was totally 100% wrong when I believed two times that the markets would crash in 2012.
Again, I forecast, I took out the domain name that uh Panic of 08 in 2007.
They didn't teach me about zero interest rate policies or a thing called quantitative easing.
Right.
In economics 101 at graduate school.
They made up this crap.
Yeah.
Modern monetary theory.
All right.
Got it wrong again.
2020, when they locked down the country.
I think this is gonna crash out, man.
Oh no.
We're gonna bring interest rates to zero, and we're gonna pump in trillions of dollars of fake money back by nothing and print it on nothing.
Go home, here's free money.
You know, your business is free money.
Oh, housing prices?
I thought they would collapse.
Oh, they only went up 50% since then?
Yeah.
I took automobiles, nobody's gonna be able to afford to buy one.
Oh, the prices went up what, 39% since then?
Again, they create this fake stuff.
Yeah.
So that's where we're at.
And it's very important to see where this is going.
Here, this was this was re this was on Wednesday.
Layoff surge nearly 40% last month, with employees eliminating 85,000, 80, excuse me, 86,000 positions.
That was from Challenger Gray and Christmas.
All right, you ready for this?
Yeah.
The retail sector also has been hit hard this year.
Retailers have eliminated 83,656 jobs this year through August.
You ready?
A 242% increase from the 24,489 cuts announced during the same period last year.
Are we winning?
Hundred and forty-two percent increase in firing people in retail.
Oh, retail?
You mean where 70% of our GDP is consumer-based?
Yeah.
I guess we're I go out a little.
I go out, you know, I go out to get out because I gotta write about this crap, you know, every day.
So I gotta get my mind off.
And I I don't eat out that much, but I but I go to nice restaurants, have a little bit of this or that.
Here's what I notice.
Mostly older people now in the restaurants.
Hardly any people there 30, 40 years old.
All older people.
They don't have a dough.
Yeah.
Down in the city on Sunday, down in West Village, sitting out in Hudson's.
Nice restaurant.
Sitting outside, beautiful day.
Beautiful day.
90% of the people walking by dressed like crap.
And probably about 70% overweight, 80%.
The only thing to me that's going to change things is a renaissance.
Facts don't matter.
Hey, well, anyway, look at don't believe me.
How about the major stories in CNN last week about Taylor Swift getting married or engaged or whatever?
I'm not making that up.
Yeah, I know.
Front page news.
Yeah.
Front page news.
The people, you gotta bring the spirit of the people up.
As I say, the only thing is going to change it as I see it is a Renaissance.
Ale Ramana at Alantica, in the manner of the Romans and the ancients, they said to describe the work they were creating during the Renaissance.
Was that like 1400?
The Romans and the ancients.
And again, it followed the Black Plague.
60% of Europe was wiped out because of filthy sanitation.
People were doing it to themselves.
They brought their spirit up.
Facts don't matter to people.
Facts don't matter to the United States.
We have we have a government now that uh just operates by fiat.
You know, it's not just so that we have a fiat currency, as you're pointing out, you know, they can they can come up with stimulus checks, they can come with quantitative easing, they can do anything.
And everything is being done just by fiat, like a dictatorship.
So everything, I guess, is really on the table.
They're capable of doing anything.
And um since he's done that with tariffs, and it's now gonna be going up probably before the Supreme Court pretty quickly.
What do you think is going to happen uh depending on which way that goes?
I mean, if they support his tariffs, what do you think that's going to do?
And if they shut them down, uh, what do you think is going to happen?
To the example.
Shut them down, that'll be positive for the dollar.
Mm-hmm.
And uh if they keep him going, it'll be negative.
But again, you know, people hate me for this.
Again, I can't stand Trump as a person.
He's genocide, he makes Genocide Joe look good in what he's doing with Israel.
He we his quote is I've no president's ever done more for Israel than I have.
Oh, you only got a hundred million dollars from Sheldon Adelson and his wife gave you the numbers are up to almost 200 million.
Yeah.
Oh, you move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and told Israel, hey, yeah, you know that land you stole the Golden Heights, it's yours, yeah.
Oh, and you're giving him all the bombs and to kill the slaughter people, you know.
So I can't stand them on that.
And before we went on the air, we're gonna talk about Venezuela, so remember to talk about that.
Uh I can't stand him for what he's doing.
But I agree with tariffs.
Because one time, yeah.
This is one of the t-shirts I had.
I've shown you this, right?
Yeah.
He wears Slick Willie, 1992.
There's the guy that get the jobs out of America, bringing them at NAFTA.
Yeah.
We get cheap labor down there in Mexico.
We'll make more money, all right.
Get the jobs out of here.
Manufacturing jobs used to pay higher wages.
Mm-hmm.
When America made an America.
I got dishes from my aunt Zizzy, may she rest in peace.
Syracuse, China from Syracuse, New York.
You know, we're all over.
We were making our we didn't have rust belts.
So I'm in favor of tariffs for that reason, but his things are different.
You're bringing foreign companies in here to open the businesses, which is different than American companies owning it.
That's right.
So I'm in favor of the town.
He's bringing in foreign workers with the H1B visa thing, you know.
That's like, well, that's that's orders of magnitude worse than bringing in foreign goods uh to bring in people with H1B visas to replace American workers.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
International best seller.
Wrote it in 1996.
Came out in 98.
They held it back a year.
Anyway, Bill Clinton was the guy that started H1B visas.
Yeah.
The internet revolution was happening.
Yeah.
This is here.
When I was a young kid, I remember my parents made a rest in peace.
They're talking, they're trying to get their cousin Constantino from Italy to come here.
They had a lot of problems trying to get him here.
That's how tough immigration used to be.
Yeah.
LBJ, L. B. Jerkovov, the guy that gave us the Vietnam War.
He was the first one that loosened the immigration laws.
Because they drafted all us guys and they needed more people to come in.
Then the Internet Revolution happens, they do the H1B visas because they didn't want to pay the American people the money that we deserve, so you can get cheap labor from China, India, and other countries.
That's why they did the H1B visas.
Now let's go back under the Biden administration.
Flooding in with immigrants.
Why?
Go to Marshalls, go to Tonga, go to any of these places outside the signs, help wanted full-time, part-time.
All over the place.
They needed cheap labor.
That's why they let them all come in.
End of story.
Yeah.
That's right.
And by the way, okay, you let them come in.
Now you got this ice crap with these masks on, like that made Hitler and the Gestapo look good.
Yeah.
They create the problem.
Yeah.
Let them stay.
All right, don't let any more come in.
Fine.
Yeah.
But you brought them in.
Now you're throwing them out.
Yeah.
So I'm against that.
Yeah, I'm against the massed militarized police, using the military as police and all the rest of the stuff.
And it's all done to address problems that they created.
But they're not addressing the problems in the right way.
They're creating other additional problems that are going to come back to bite us.
And that's the whole point with all this stuff.
It's insane.
When you look at what's happening with H1B visas, uh it's gotten to be so large with India that when uh somebody talked about that, they said um uh well, you know, the Indian government started pushing back against it because there's so much money that not only are they taking American jobs, but they're sending so much money out that it's about a third of the budget of the Indian government that is that is doing that.
Same thing with uh Mexico sending so much money out of the country uh when they're doing that.
So, you know, he's not addressing those issues at all.
And uh, you know, to do this.
And I I played a couple of videos yesterday of small business owners who've absolutely they're losing their entire business because they can't make a decision because Trump can't make a decision.
Uh his tariffs are arbitr arbitrary, they're capricious, they're on again, they're off again, and now he's got the legal fight, and these people are saying, I can't afford to bring stuff in because I don't know if all of a sudden the price is gonna drop 50% after I bring it in, or I can't even afford to pay the tariffs that Trump instantly and immediately added to that.
Everything that he's doing as an emergency solution to his problems that that he identifies out there.
Everything that he's doing is fighting against the rule of law and um uh creating a kind of fascist economy and also a fascist uh police state.
Uh and so that I guess that kind of brings us to what's going on in Venezuela.
One of the things that really bothered me was to see the uh fist bumps and all the rest of the stuff from the people who are Trump supporters uh about the destruction of that uh that boat.
Now, uh J.D. Vance was asked yesterday, uh, what legal authority did you have to shoot first and just kill those 11 people?
And uh he says they were terrorists.
It's like they're terrorists because you say so.
Uh you didn't stop it to see if it's got any drugs, you didn't uh evaluate that you just think that they're terrorists, so now you have a license to kill, is that right?
And you remember, Gerald, we had a president in the Philippines, Dutarte.
Remember what he did in his war on drugs?
He told the police, he said, uh, you see somebody thinks a drug dealer, just kill them.
He says, I don't care about human rights, shoot them dead.
And they did.
About 12,000 people uh lost their lives that way.
And and this is the attitude of the Trump administration.
And it wasn't just um, it wasn't just uh uh uh J.D. Vance, it was also Rubio making a speech talking about how there's gonna be a lot more of this, and Heggseth is saying the same thing.
Uh and it looks like this is a prelude uh to a couple of things.
Number one, they want to go hot with the drug war.
And um, you know, we've had this thing that's been going on for 54 years.
I don't see that they're going to win this by force.
It's really a spiritual Issue.
Uh that's the key thing.
And if force was going to work, they've done all kinds of things over the last uh half century.
We've now got a situation where the police, if they want to take your property, they can take your property and charge it with a crime.
They don't charge you.
They don't give you due process.
They don't even charge you, let alone find you guilty.
They just take your car or your cash or your plane or your house or whatever, and then say, so sue me if you want it back.
That's why they call it civil asset forfeiture.
So now we're going to kill people on site because we think that that uh they're involved in drugs, or because we label them as a terrorist.
I've been labeled as a terrorist by Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL and other people like that.
And most people who have spoken out against the pandemic and other things like that have been labeled as terrorists.
You know, you're gonna kill people if you tell people the truth.
That type of thing.
What's the matter with these people, but they can't see that?
Let's go back where you started with what Vance said.
Yeah.
He said they're terrorists.
So if I was talking to him, man to man, I just want you to shove your crap down your throat.
Yeah.
You got it.
Who the hell are you to say they were terrorists?
That's right.
Give me the facts.
That should be the attitude.
And it's gone.
And the reason it's gone, because the people are lost their fight.
They got no guts.
You little clown.
Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
Slaughtering these people that are how many miles away from America on a boat of nowhere, and you're calling them terrorists?
That's right.
Where's the proof?
Show me the proof.
Nope.
No proof.
I'm the vice president.
I'll tell you what to do.
I'm a little boy of nothing.
Oh, the seals got me there.
Oh, the Vance that changed his name three times?
That little clown?
That little jerk.
Oh, but the fields, look how rich that guy is now.
Plant to you, oh I'm in the Trump club.
Rubio, could you get a lower piece of jerk than that guy?
Look at the clown show.
Now go back to Venezuela.
They're making this crap up about a drug war.
Yeah.
As an excuse.
That's right.
Because we'll only go by the facts.
Let's go back to 2019.
We're going to get rid of that guy Maduro.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
They brought in that guy, Guaido?
Little boy of nothing?
Yeah.
The president?
Trump said he's the real president.
Oh, you remember that?
Oh, everybody knows it remember that, huh?
Oh, you don't remember how they tried to invade from Colombia into Venezuela to try to throw over the government and they lost it.
Oh, the Guaido, that guy, little boy?
That the United States and Europe said is the official president?
Of Venezuela?
Oh, that was 2019.
Oh, now they're making up this drug crap.
Now all this drugs are coming in because of Venezuela, so we got to attack them.
They just happen to have a lot of oil.
The oil-rich country, exactly.
Yeah.
Just a clinical thing.
You think we would have invaded Iraq if their major export was broccoli?
Yeah.
I agree.
Yeah, and Libya.
But you know, one of the things that really bothers me is the fact that they're making this argument.
I'm entitled to do it if I think he's a terrorist, and the MAGA people are cheering this on.
This is what I voted for.
Uh go America, you know, all the rest of this stuff.
It's absolutely sick.
Yeah.
What do I care what stupid people think?
Yeah.
Well, I care because it's a big deal.
They know more.
They're dumber than dumb could be.
You know, stop and think about the fact.
Let's imagine that they were to uh they've got all these military assets there.
Let's imagine that they stopped the ship and they searched the ship and they found that they're running drugs.
Let's say fentanyl, even, right?
And so then the the response is they just line the guys up and machine gun them down.
What would people think about that?
But this is even one step removed from that.
They don't even bother to check to see if their hunch is correct.
They just blow the people up.
It's a crime syndicate.
You don't ask murderers why they're murderers.
Yeah.
Oh, this there's a little vants calling them terrorists.
Hey, what god do you believe in?
All you fake little clowns that talk about your god.
How about thou shalt not kill?
Yeah.
Could you get that one in your head?
Yep.
Yeah, a bunch of little phony freaks in a country near you.
Yeah.
Well, it's very important that we have due process.
And uh the people who were under Trump.
There's no process.
Oh, I know.
But the people on under Trump process.
People under Trump are now openly contemptuous of it, which is really, you know, it's one thing to just be apathetic when they do it, but to cheer them on when they're doing it.
I remember when they first started talking about this uh Chicago, so we're gonna send military troops into Chicago.
And one woman said, Well, I just had my car high uh car jack and they broke my arm doing it, but I don't want the military on the streets here.
And you had all these uh uh MAGA people, Trump supporters, mocking her.
How stupid can you be?
And it's like, how stupid can you be, pal?
You want a military standing army occupying the cities?
That's insane.
And yet that's the kind of that's ultimately where this war on drugs that's been going on for half a century, ultimately where it leads domestically as well.
We've got uh shoot first gang uh that can't shoot straight and can't win a war, but they can go in and take over Venezuela and take the oil, and uh the the war on drugs is an excuse for that, just like the excuse that they used saying that Canada was our main supplier of fentanyl.
It's just as absurd as that, isn't it?
Yeah, you're just making up this crap.
Yeah, and again, there's absolutely no way that if America invades Venezuela that we win.
We haven't won a war since World War II.
And we wouldn't have won that without the Russians, but you're not allowed to say that.
They were the first ones to defeat Germany after Germany killed over 25 million Russians in Operation Barbarossa.
Yeah.
And we oh, remember the Afghan war, the longest war in American history that we lost?
Yeah.
Oh, I forgot about the Vietnam War.
We grope during that time, and we lost that one.
That's right.
Oh, the Iraq war didn't get that one either.
Well, we figured out the Trump has figured out what the problem is, Gerald.
The problem is we're called the Department of Defense.
He's gonna call it the Department of War, because that's when we won all of our wars, that's when we were the Department of War.
So he's got it, he's got it solved.
There's a picture here.
This was the New York Times.
I don't know if you can see that.
This is the uh that in China they had that big military parade.
Yeah, yeah.
You saw the pictures, right?
You see what the people look like?
No, it isn't.
The United States, they're too fat to fight.
They can't get enough people because they're overweight.
Yeah.
That's a fact.
I'm not making that up.
Yeah.
You're gonna beat the Chinese, 1.4 billion against 347 million?
We're gonna and then you look at the We're gonna push some buttons to make it happen, right?
That's that's uh the whole the way we fight is uh same way we do our video games, we're just gonna push buttons.
Yeah, yeah.
And then there's an article here in the in the uh Wall Street Journal.
The anti-ship missile formation was part of Wednesday's military parade in Beijing.
New weapons rolled out.
They talk about all these new high-tech weapons that China has.
347 million people against 1.4 billion.
Look what they look like.
Look how they're trained, look what they got.
How stupid can you be to think you're gonna beat them again when you haven't won a war since World War II?
You know, I think stupid.
I think they want to lose this war.
I think that's part of them uh restructuring geopolitics.
They're gonna get rid of uh the United States as a as a power.
I think that that uh uh you know they might be that stupid, that arrogant, that proud, that egotistical, or it may be that they just want to kill us all.
Again, China's not invading other countries.
Yeah.
They want Taiwan back.
Taiwan's been part of China forever, except when they if after the communists took it over, uh, when they beat the uh I forgot the guy's name, and they moved to Formosa, which they used to call her back then.
With Thailand's uh I mean Taiwan's always been a a part of them.
It's none of my business.
I'm an American.
It's not my business.
Anybody by the way, uh well we're having a peace rally, by the way, on September 27th up here in Kingston, and you were uh kind enough to be a speaker one year.
Uh you were kind enough to have it.
Go to Occupy Peace, Occupy Peace dot com.
So far, Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter, uh Joe Lawyer, myself, and others are gonna be here.
We're trying to get Roger Waters to do a live Zoom with big screen up.
And uh so we're doing everything we can for peace.
Yes.
And then my saying is that anybody supports a war overseas, go over there and fight, put on your costumes, send your wife, your kids, your transgenders, your money, go over there and fight or shut your mouth.
Yeah.
I agree.
I'm an American.
I agree.
And occupy peace.
Close the 700 bases overseas in what, 80 countries?
Secure the homeland with the troops and put the troops to work, rebuilding our third world infrastructure.
Give them skills, work progress administration 2.0.
That's what Occupy Peace is about.
You know, that was one of the things.
Remember Trump sold himself as a peace candidate?
Yeah.
Yeah, piece of crap.
Yeah.
Yeah, he spells peace P I E C E. He wants a piece of Gaza, he wants a piece of Venezuela, he wants a piece of Syria.
Uh that's the thing, you know.
The people who are cheering this that said, yeah, finally we got the US military being used to protect America because they blew up that ship in Venezuela.
It's like how does how does that calculate?
That's a moron.
Yeah, people say stupid little jerks with a mind the size smaller than a P. But that's the that's the tact.
They're they're repeating that stuff because that's a tact that now most of alternative media is pushing.
We got the big names in alternative media pushing uh this war, telling us that, yeah, this is one we can win.
This is great.
This is um Who is some of the ones that are doing that?
Well, Alex Jones is doing it.
We've got uh other people who are are pushing this as well.
There's a whole article uh about this on Free Thought Project talking about how the alt media has become cheerleaders and rubber stampers for everything that Trump does, and uh they're now supporting uh these types of actions that we see happening in Venezuela.
But um it's uh it's very important for people to support Occupy Peace, make your voice heard.
Again, Occupy Peace.com, that's September 27th.
Uh it's a great venue up there, nice time of year to get up there.
Um and uh get some some cool weather, I bet.
Um, the Hudson Valley, the this fall is it's it's gorgeous.
It's it's beautiful up here.
Well, you got a couple of comments only one per NMAX says, uh have faith, Gerald.
Black Rock and Blackstone are buying up buildings in New York, so they know something that others don't.
What do you think about that?
Of course they're buying everything.
Yeah.
Again, Black Rock, Black Rock, Vanguard, and State Street.
Yeah.
That's right.
Own eighty-eight percent of the SP 500.
Wow.
Look it up.
People say I'm full of baloney, look up the facts.
And again, when you and I were young guys, there were no hedge funds.
You're no venture capitalists.
Yeah, you're no private equity groups.
Now they control the world.
Yeah.
Oh, who's who's the who's the who's the clown playing the Chancellor of uh the new Hitler over there in Germany?
Mertz?
Yeah, Fred Mertz.
Where did he come from?
I thought he came from I Love Lucy.
Yeah, Black Rock.
Black Rock, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
This is the Mertz clown that's Germany, third largest economy in the world.
Largest in Europe.
Two years of recession going into their third, borrowing a trillion dollars to fight them Russians.
Gotta build up our defense.
Yeah.
One country after another in Europe building up their defense.
Yeah.
We got to fight the Russians.
How stupid.
Oh, oh, and they say it's going to build the economy up.
No, it's not.
Only go Only enriches the military industrial complex.
Economies are built up when the products being produced in the country are consumed by consumers.
That's when the GDP comes up.
That's right.
This only enriches the bigs.
Of course.
Of course, they're not selling cars, they're getting into making weapons.
Not making that up.
Yeah, that's right.
When all else fails and Volkswagen as well.
Yeah, Volkswagen as well.
Lance, my son says a lost war is just as good for the military industrial complex as a victory.
Because they don't care about sides.
They just care about making money.
All they care about.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, you know, when we talk about that, we just this week, you know.
Oh, we get a lot of pushback, and how for a long time you called that, for a long time you called what's going on in Gaza a genocide, and now we've had a group of scholars uh who study genocide who have called it genocide.
Uh what took them so long to look at this.
And and at the same time, uh there's articles in Haretz about how uh reservists and the Israeli defense force uh who were gung-ho and fighting this right after October the 7th.
Now, as as they look at what is happening here, uh they said I'd rather go to jail than to go back and do that.
There's a lot of pushback inside of Israel that's not doesn't get much coverage here in America, isn't there?
Yeah, there's some, but it's not a lot from what I know.
I have I have Israeli friends, and most people uh they don't care.
They don't like the war, but they don't care about the slaughter of the Palestinians.
Yeah.
And and again, they demolished Gaza.
This is a Holocaust right in front of your eyes.
That's right.
Two million people.
Two million people.
Two million people totally destroyed.
Totally destroyed.
They bombed the whole place into ruins.
Where is the outrage?
Yeah.
And starving people.
Hey, all you Quakers, what'd you die in an earthquake?
Where are you seventh-day adventists?
What are you waiting for the eighth day?
Oh, the Mormons, the latter-day say so you maybe very later day.
Where are you?
Oh, the Pope doesn't like it.
The Pope is saying, hey, Popey, hey, Pope, rather than putting on your Chicago white socks hat on and go to gate, why don't you go to Gaza and stop it?
Yeah.
Why don't you shut up, Salenti?
I'm just another guy playing another roll of crap.
Where are they?
Where are they?
If all these religions got out to the street and saying, stop this war, this is against everything of the God that we believe in, it would end like that.
It wouldn't like that.
That's right.
But pass the basket, give me money so I could dress up in my costume and repeat the same stupid crap every week.
Yeah.
I've had it with it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've had it.
Yeah, there's no moral concern at all about this.
And that was one of the things about Western civilization.
Why we had decorations of war, why we had uniforms for the military, so that you could distinguish between combatants and civilians.
All that stuff went out the door in World War II, and now civilians are the key target in all these wars.
And also the thing that makes it an unjust war is the fact that there is no interest in ending it.
They want it to be perpetual.
And that's been our standard policy since World War II.
Just perpetual war.
We don't care.
We don't seek to end the war.
Always in the past, you know, going back to Augustine and the core value of um uh Western civilization and try to impose some moral restraint on war when it happens, was um, yes, you can defend people if you're attacked, but uh you see your your purpose is to cease the hostilities and to try to avoid uh killing uh civilians, and now they do exactly the opposite.
They seek to prolong it, they seek to target civilians.
Uh there's no outrage.
That's right.
Trump comes out this week.
You're talking about the people, you know, with Trump and Venezuela.
Oh, you're happy they killed a couple of people on a sh a boat?
Yeah, how come you're not how come you're not talking about the mass murder of the Palestinian people?
Oh, by the way, they they when Trump banned the guy from coming to the UN.
The Palestinian guy?
Yeah.
Trump banned banned people with Palestinian passports to come to America?
Yeah.
Trump banned these kids that are seriously wounded for the Israelis slaughtering and bombing them into ruins to come into America for medical care.
How about if they did that for Israelis?
How about if we banned Israelis?
Oh my god, how terrible.
Oh my God.
The Palestinians is okay.
They're only Arabs.
They don't count.
Well, now Netanyahu is uh on a um mission to do global censorship because he said, you know, that we're not winning the propaganda war.
And uh so we have to shut uh speech down everywhere.
So they're attacking not only our free speech, but globally attacking free speech.
Uh Trump says that um Israel had total control over Congress.
This is the second time he's done that.
And and of course, what does he do, Gerald?
He comes out and he says, uh nobody's really on their side except for me.
Why does he just say, send me money, right?
That's all he's doing is he's begging for more money to do their bidding, isn't he?
Yep.
Yeah, he said nobody's done more for Israel than I have.
Yeah.
And he says nobody's doing anything for them now.
Yeah, except for me.
But I'll do everything.
And again, everybody get this straight.
It's get back to work, pay your taxes so they could steal your money and give it to the Israel.
All right.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So I'm stealing your money for this war.
So shut the hell up.
Here, you ready?
From Middle East Monitor yesterday.
International organizations.
Excuse me, hold.
Um Middle East News, Palestinian uh UN Google under fire for 45 million dollar deal with Netanyahu's office to spread Gaza genocide propaganda.
Did you hear about this?
No, I didn't hear that.
Google signed a 45 million dollar contract with the Israeli Prime Minister's office to run a global digital advertising campaign, promoting Israel's state messaging during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The contract first reported by drop site news, includes advertisements placed on YouTube and through Google's display and video 360 platform, explicitly described in government documents as part of the Israel's propaganda war.
Signed in June 2025, the contract with Google covering YouTube and display and video 360, the company's digital ad service, authorized an extensive propaganda campaign labeled explicitly as Hasbada and his Hebrew term donating stake back propaganda, often deployed to whitewash Israel's military action.
One of the most widely viewed output puts on the campaign was a YouTube video by Israel's foreign minister falsely claiming there is food in Gaza.
Any other claim is a lie.
The view, the ad was viewed by over six million times, heavily boosted through paid promotion under government contract.
Yeah.
Three million dollars on advertising with X, 2.1 million with uh outbrained treads, a French one, on and on and on.
All the money they're spending on propaganda.
Wow.
Yeah, these people won't even let me on YouTube won't.
Yeah, they they take this money for propaganda and they work actively as propagandists for Israel, just like they did uh act as uh propagandists for the so-called pandemic.
You know, uh you know, Gerald, not only did they kick me off, uh, but uh they did again when I went independent, and I waited about a year or so, and then I created a channel that I was just gonna put music up.
And I put up uh the Christmas music that I did, and they left it up for about five months and then they shut that channel down as well.
I can't even put Christmas music up.
But uh Netanyahu.
They blacklisted me from Facebook.
I'm on Facebook.
Yeah.
But uh, you know, Google is um, you know, the it's a search engine that is designed to hide things like me and the truth about what happened in 2020 and what's going on right now in Gaza.
Uh that that's what they were created for.
That's why They got the backing of uh Incutel and these other venture capital firms that had all these NSA and CIA people on their board of directors.
Yep.
Yep.
That's what this thing is doing.
That's fascism by definition.
That's this kind.
It's gone.
We need a new third party.
Yeah.
You know, the person I want to see as president, by the way, is Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Nobody knows the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
And what we need is that we need a third party of we the people.
Mm-hmm.
Read the preamble to the Constitution.
We the people of the United States.
Yeah.
They got a bunch of clowns.
Like you said, you said the pandemic, and you used the word to describe it.
I forgot what how'd you say it?
Um fake.
It wasn't a pandemic.
It wasn't a pandemic.
It was fake news.
Yeah.
Here.
They called it a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization or horror organization, I think, when the grand total of 4,021 people died out of 8 billion.
Yeah.
They called it a pandemic.
Yeah.
And then kids stay home from school.
There are 73 million one to 17 year olds in America.
Under 2,000 died of COVID.
Out of 73 million.
And according to the CDC, 61% of those hospitalized were obese.
They died where they have damage being done to the young people.
Their minds are all screwed up from this.
And by the way, before we close out, get ready for the dot-com bust.
China's going to take over the world in AI, and they've overinvested in these American companies.
Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age, and die.
AI is only three years old.
You don't invest all your money in the first companies.
Yeah.
Again, Bill Clinton, before China came in, the World Trade Organization, there were 10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
Now almost 70% do.
And young people are totally AI addicted, high-tech addicted, they're going to lead the world in this.
There's going to be a dot-com bus 2.0.
I agree.
Yeah, it's going to be focused on the company that um has shot up uh uh astronomically NVIDIA, but um it's going to spread to everything when uh when that bubble busts, doesn't it?
Yep.
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, um it truly is amazing to see how all this stuff is uh rolling out.
And Trump is is uh proud of the fact that he bombed Iran for Israel.
He uh fessed up to that as well when he was saying that uh uh they can't rely on anybody anymore except for me, but they've been pretty good to me.
Because you know, it's just that's kind of this rat line, isn't it?
They they take our tax money and they give it to Israel and then they give him kickbacks.
That's the way this thing works.
It kind of reminds me, Jerry.
Sheldon Adelson gave him a hundred million dollars, his wife up to two hundred million.
Yeah.
Marin Adelson.
It's paid off.
It's like what we were saying about the crypto.
His son-in-law.
Yeah.
It's like what we were saying about crypto stuff earlier.
Trump just does this out in the open in front of everybody as a comedy routine from Dave Chappelle, where he said that about Trump years ago.
He said, This guy is just amazing.
He goes, he comes out of this this place where all these elites are you know doing all this uh skull and bone, you know, dirty stuff, and uh he comes out and he tells you, you know what these guys are doing?
It's awful.
Let me tell you what they're doing inside there.
And then he goes right back in and he joins them again.
And that's basically what Trump is doing.
He he brags about the things that we used that used to be the end of somebody's career, you know, the uh uh betraying us for another country, and um also uh the uh conflicts of interest that he's got in the in the crypto, the corruption that's there.
Uh but you know he can brag about the corruptions going on, and it's uh it's just dismissed as oh, he's a great investor, isn't he?
Yeah, because he's running these scams.
I just don't see any end to it with him, do you?
You know, I'm I'm concerned about war.
That's my greatest concern.
Yeah.
And that's how I see the end coming.
He's an out of his mind freak.
And um again, what we're talking about Venezuela.
What the hell are you involved in this thing for?
Oh, they're bombing like with bombing what?
Somalia, I think 57 times Somalia.
Most people could never find it on the map.
But he wants his Nobel Peace Prize and uh Nobel Peace of Crap prize.
It was kind of interesting in the hearing yesterday, uh Cassidy set up RFK Jr.
Uh, because RFK Jr. was criticizing the MRA uh vaccine and some other things like that.
So then he talks about Operation Warp Speed.
And Cassidy talks about how many lives were supposedly saved and all the rest of this nonsense.
And then he says, uh, Operation Warp Suite was great, wasn't it?
Don't you think that Donald Trump deserves a Nobel prize for that?
And you saw that, right?
Kennedy jumps in and says, oh, yeah, he did.
Just completely undermines everything that he said about the vaccines and about MRNA.
And of course, the MRNA continues to get uh more of these things are authorized, these genetic code injections are being authorized left and right as we speak.
You know, uh, I don't really see anything happening with the so-called Maha stuff.
The uh again, Trump was very smart by bringing Kennedy, and that's one of the reasons why he won.
Yeah, that's right.
The Kennedy people that were going to vote for Kennedy voted for Trump.
A lot of the stuff that's there, as I said earlier in the program.
Uh Kennedy said that he's there to re-establish trust and the uh institutions of the CDC and all these these types of things.
Uh Tulsi Gavard has said the same thing about the Intelligence Agency.
This whole thing has been a scam.
They've they brought the people who brought Trump in and set him up in power, did it to establish trust.
Kennedy and Tulsi were set up to establish trust.
And that's the saddest thing about it as I see so many people that are truly trusting in Trump.
And a lot of it is coming from the new alternative media that is out there.
Uh grifting people.
Yeah.
Telling the trust trust the plan.
That's absolutely it.
Well, thank you so much for joining us.
We're just about out of time, and I want to let people know.

Thank you so much.
And everyone, we hope you have a great weekend, and hopefully we'll see you on Monday.
Have a good weekend.
Have a good weekend.
The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at the David Nike Show.com.
Thank you for listening.
