As an American, I honor thy founding fathers, beginning with George Washington.
That is very well addressed.
No foreign entanglements.
And then you listen to Franklin and Adams, Jefferson, Madison.
No foreign entanglements.
And the world was at war back then.
The Middle East policy in the United States has been nothing but disaster after disaster.
Don't give me the baloney that you're making me safer by going in other countries, destroying the joint, and then say, Oh, I wonder why they hate us.
Anyone ever hear me?
Do you want to others?
Do you have them doing you?
I love these guys that talk about protecting young boards and protecting our children while they're killing people all over the world.
Who made up this thing about the United States advancing democracy when they're robbing us of all our rights over here?
And uh this whole insanity that we have to continually be in a state of war is just that.
There's no reason for it.
No foreign entanglements.
All right, and joining us now is Gerald Salenti, who's done everything he can to try to occupy peace, and they had the large rally last week in Kingston, uh, New York.
And uh want to talk to Gerald about that.
And of course, every day is one thing after the other.
It's I I was just saying to break to Travis, I said, you know, there's that movie out there that I have no interest in seeing because it's a hard left approach to this one battle after the other.
And I said, I saw that title, and I thought that's what it is with Trump.
It's one battle, one war after the other.
It's like he can't make up his mind which one he wants to do first.
He's trying to start wars everywhere, even within the United States.
Thank you for joining us, Gerald.
Trendsjournal.com.
Thank you so much for having me on.
Um the rally was great, but I have to tell you it was the smallest turnout in 11 years.
Really?
Yep.
Wow.
And again, we had Scott Ritter, Judge Napolitano, Dennis Kucinich, Roger Waters doing a uh a special, you know, broadcast.
Um, on and on.
Uh Joe Laurie, uh Ray McGovern, Garland Nixon, you know, a whole bunch of top-top people.
And the average age look like an old age home.
I just I'd say the average age is about sixty years old.
No young people.
The problem is everybody wants war.
It's not just the politicians.
I mean Nah, the people lost their guts.
And they're not fighters, they're they're you know, we all we are are the the the politicians of the puppeteers, and we're the puppets.
Yeah.
I agree.
Once upon a time, there used to be a thing called We the People.
No, no.
It's me the politician, not you the people.
Once upon a time, there were things called public servants.
No, no.
I'm the politician, you're the servant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember.
Put on this mask.
Yep.
Stand six feet apart.
When you go in a restaurant, you better wear that mask.
When you sit down, you can take it off because COVID does not go to table hype.
And it knows when you're eating, so it won't bother you.
That's right.
I mean, look at the crap that they pushed out there, and the masses swallowed it.
They called anybody that was against that stupid crap.
A conspiracy theorist.
Yes.
Remember?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I'm.
You know who got blacklisted on YouTube and on and on and on.
When you put the facts down, when you put the facts down, that is the people are dying of COVID.
At 2.6 pre-existing comorbidities.
Oh, Italy was the first country to lock down.
What was the average age of the people that died?
81 years old.
Yeah.
That's right.
Oh, where did when did it come to America?
Where did it land?
Everybody goes, does it remember Kirkland, Washington?
Where the hell is Kirkland, Washington?
And what the hell do I care?
Why?
It's an old age home.
Wait a minute.
You mean COVID hit an old age home where the people are dying over there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, but all you kids can't go to school anymore.
Remember the stupid little cartoons with kids playing in little tents with playing the instruments?
Yeah.
Oh, oh, now let's just go to the facts.
74 million one to 17-year-olds in America.
Look up the data.
The CDC stopped putting the data out in July of 2023.
From 2020 to 2023, out of 74 million, less than 2,000 died of COVID.
Oh.
According to the CDC, 61% of the one to 17-year-olds that were hospitalized for COVID were obese.
All right.
But you're going back to the wars, what's going on, people swallow the crap, spewing out of the mouth of these little clown boys and girls.
I'm a Republican.
I'm a Democrat.
I'm a conservative.
I'm a liberal.
I got a mind that big, and I listen to what they tell me.
All right.
Yeah.
I agree.
So let's go back to the um, you know, one issue after another.
Well, and just this week, while you're on the COVID stuff, how'd you like this uh this dog and pony show with Albert Borla?
You know, Trump even gets booed for this, but all of the manga press is, you know, look at Trump.
This is a victory.
He brought Pfizer to heel.
I even played a clip of some guy who is pushing QAnon nonsense, saying he bankrupted Pfizer.
Well, Wall Street Journal doesn't, Wall Street uh analysts don't think so.
Pfizer doesn't think so.
And I think this opened up uh and exposed a whole new level of corruption.
We look at how much Pfizer has been price gouging the American people, and no accountability for that, just like there's no accountability for anything that was done during the COVID stuff.
Nobody's holding Trump accountable, nobody criticizes him for that.
And uh here you got Pfizer charging uh more than triple what they uh charge other countries for drugs, and there's not going to be any uh recrimination for that.
There's not gonna be any repayment for that instead.
Trump is going to do a uh deal with him, get his name on the deal, Trump RX, and it's absolutely disgusting.
I mean, children's health defense, which is where RFK Jr. used to be, is saying, this is insane.
There's absolutely they've covered up everything about this.
We're having to sue with a FOIA request to try to get information about this.
It'll take years, it'll be redacted.
Uh they're not telling anybody about the uh devilish details in this agreement that is here.
And uh they're all just taking uh a back seat and going along with whatever Trump wants to do.
The corruption is open, and these people are getting away with one crime after the other.
It's absolutely astounding.
It's been going on forever.
Yeah.
It's been going on forever.
It's a crime syndicate that people call the government.
Yeah, that's right.
Again, you're talking about Afghanistan and um the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner, Barack Obama, who lied his way into office of being a peace candidate as soon as he got in.
Remember the the Afghan troop surge?
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, brought to us by that guy betrayed us.
Oh, betray us.
I forgot.
Now he's with KKR.
Oh, that arrogant military guy.
Yeah, that guy operate, oh yeah, we're gonna win, we're gonna kill, yeah.
Again, if Alexander the Great couldn't beat the uh Afghans, if the British at the height of the British Empire into the Valley of Death rode to 600 couldn't take him out, if the Russians couldn't do it, what makes you think the Americans could do it?
The longest war in American history, cost us trillions of dollars, kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people, brought to you by again, talking about the people, 90% of the people swallowed the crap, spewing out of the mouth of that little gutless, arrogant daddy's boy, George W. Bush.
You're gonna get that guy who saw the bid Lord.
90% of the people supported that.
90%.
Now let's go back to your other piece of scumb crap that people love.
The little peanut farmer.
Jimmy Carter.
Oh, and that scumbag may he rotten hell, Brzezinski.
Oh, yeah, his daughter's on MSNBC now.
I forgot.
Anyway, they're the ones that gave us Al-Qaeda.
No, no, we gotta rename it.
Mujahadeen.
Obama Osama bin Laden ahead of it, brought to you by Jimmy Carter and Brzezinski to stop the Russians from beating the Taliban.
And what people have no idea about, Afghanistan was a very, very culturally advanced society.
Artistically, culturally, before the Taliban took over.
And Russia was fighting against that.
We stopped that war.
We created the Mujahideen, which became Al Qaeda.
Just like we created the Ayatollahs in Iran, you know, we did what I'm saying.
Where we go.
Yep.
And but people have no idea about that.
Yeah.
None.
We don't just lose the wars.
We create an incredibly evil left behind blowback everywhere we go when you're talking about Iran or Afghanistan.
And yet we're going to continue to do this.
It says uh Trump wants to go back into Bagram.
And of course, that's not going to happen.
I don't know if he will attack them or what he will do.
No way.
Yeah.
There's no way that you know Trump.
I mean, you know, with a lying I had an article here.
Make sure you're fine.
How'd you like that meeting where he spends I think the figure was six million dollars to bring in all of these generals and admirals so that they could be lectured by Heg about how he's going to change things, and then Trump gets up there and he rambles on and on and on about firemen and how dangerous their job is.
And but he loves them because they voted for him, that type of thing.
It was crazy.
A lot of people are questioning his mental capacity now after that.
His mental capacity has been mentally ill for years.
Yeah, yeah.
Our objective is to immediately have a total secession of hostilities.
All shooting has to stop.
We need peace without delay.
Oh, that's when he was lying, running for office.
I forgot.
We want peace on earth all over.
Oh, I'm full of crap.
I was only saying that to get elected.
Shut the hell up, Celenti, or maybe we'll kill you if you don't shut up.
Let's keep going.
We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars we end.
But most importantly, the wars we never get into.
You ready?
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and a unifier.
That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
That's how he lied his way into your legacy.
Who the hell cares what they think of you when you're dead?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't care what you think about me when I'm alive.
Oh, my legacy.
What legacy?
Well, who made this stupid word up?
Yeah.
Well, look at what we were told about uh Woodrow Wilson.
He promised he wouldn't get us in the world.
Ready?
I'm not gonna start a war.
I'm gonna stop wars.
I'm moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the panic to peace.
I want peace.
All the lies that he lied his way into office, facts are right there.
Shut the hell up, Salenti.
We don't want facts.
We're stupid little morons, and we suck up to the crap that our politicians spew out.
That's right.
We've been promised many times by people running for office like Woodrow Wilson and LBJ.
Oh, we're not going to get involved in that war.
We're not gonna escalate that war.
And uh we see how that operates over and over again.
This is just the latest example of it.
They always promise peace.
Uh, but um what Trump is looking for, I I think when he talks about peace, he spells it with an I and the and the word uh Gerald.
He's always looking for a piece of something somewhere.
That was the cover of our magazine, by the way.
Yeah, man, a piece or a piece of SHI, you know what?
That's right.
You don't want a piece of that country, I don't want a piece of that country, I want Venezuela's oil and all the rest of the stuff.
And then, you know, when he brings these um uh uh as irrelevant as most of what he had to say was, you know, he gets there in front of this giant flag like he's George C. Scott at the beginning of Patton, and uh then he tells them we've got the enemy within.
I think that's a pretty ominous thing as well.
What do you think about that?
You know, what what Trump is doing?
Yeah, top military leaders told U.S. cities could be Training grounds.
Yeah.
You mean um President tells military brass, quote, to fight enemy within U.S.?
Is that what you're talking about?
Yeah.
I'm talking about the police state and the military police state.
You know, at InfoWars, when I was there, they did four documentaries about police state USA.
They need to do one and call it police state number five, the Trump deception, I think.
That was one of them.
You had Obama deception.
I don't know if that was the police state uh sub series or if that was a separate one, but it's sad.
Well, you know, I got like you, I've been I've been banned on, I used to do I used to be on InfoWars all once a week for years.
But now police state and war in Latin America is a good thing.
David Ike is all over Alex for that because he said, hey, yeah, you know, in Latin America, we've won the wars down there.
The wars that we fought for United Fruit Company and other things like that.
Exposed.
But yeah, I mean, it's like whatever happened.
I mean, we used to be for peace, and we used to be for uh the Constitution of Free Speech, but now we're not, you know, we just uh we never have.
It's been going on forever.
No, I mean the the media, you know, the people that we worked with, you know, just the you see these uh Trump influencers out there, whatever Trump wants.
And Trump doesn't want any of those things, of course.
He just pretends to, and he has his influencers telling you that it's just 4D chess or something.
Again, you know, an article just came out about um America's trust in the media is at the lowest level ever.
Gallup poll just came out.
Again, the media, nothing again, you gotta tracking trends is the understanding of where we are, how we got here to see where we're going.
This is a t-shirt that I did back in 1992 when little Billy Clinton was running for office.
Yeah.
This is a little clown, arrogant, arrogant, lying piece of crap.
That was worth nothing that's now worth what, about 130 million dollars?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It's paid off.
Anyway, he's the one that gave us the Federal Communications Act in 1996.
Deregulated the communications industry.
There were thousands of independent radio stations, television stations, magazines, newspapers.
Now six countries control 92.
Six companies control 92% of America's media.
92%.
Yeah.
There is nothing.
Yeah.
Again, we're giving people in the trench journal.
We're independent.
We have no advertisers.
And again, you put the link in that you have over there cost grand total of $2.50 a week.
That's right.
Using the code night, you can get a discount of 10% there, Trans Journal.
And you look at the facts of what's going on now, and how they're this guy, what's his name on the article here somewhere?
Um this guy Carr, who's the FCC champ.
Oh, yeah, Brendan Carr, yeah.
Yeah.
There's an article here about how.
Here it is.
You ready?
Yeah.
Talking about the media.
Yeah, right here.
The FCC chair has threatened TV licenses over what he sees, you ready?
Mm-hmm.
As liberal bias in broadcasts.
Hey, hey, Sat Mouth.
Oh, only conservative can't have liberal?
Yeah.
And again, they're not liberals anymore.
They're Lib Tards.
But anyway, how come who the hell are you to say who should say what?
Shut the hell up, Celenti.
I'm the FCC chair.
You're just a little giddy from the Bronx.
Yeah.
Who the hell is this guy to say what anybody should say?
Hey, this is America.
You got an AMERIKA.
I'll Trump.
Well, you know, you got a lot of these comedians who've been paid a lot of money to go to Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia saying, look at this.
We allow these people to criticize America here in Saudi Arabia.
It's like, yeah, you try criticizing Islam or try criticizing the little king that is there and see what happens to you going to get the Khashoggi treatment.
Uh they'll not only cut your program, they'll cut Your throat.
But uh the the reality is is that we can see that you know in Saudi Arabia, of course, you know, they don't care if you criticize America and American censorship, which should be criticized, just don't criticize them.
So free speech is only there if you allow people to criticize what you disagree uh with.
You only if you allow the speech that you disagree with and uh all of this hate speech stuff, and of course the uh uh Trump administration is playing the same game that the left did.
They're playing the same game that the Saudi uh dictator is doing.
None of these people, that's the that's the thing, Gerald.
I don't see anywhere where free speech is promoted as a principle, certainly not in Europe, not in the U.S., not in Saudi Arabia or Israel, nowhere.
Yeah, nowhere now.
Oh, look what they're doing in the UK, you how they're locking people Australia, one after another.
That's right.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Germany.
Yeah.
You come in, you can't come out again.
You cannot come out for the Palestinians.
Mm-hmm.
You're not allowed to.
Keep the slaughter going.
You ready for this?
The American people don't believe anything until they see it on television.
You know who said that?
Who said that?
Richard Nixon.
Yeah.
Well, the problem is going to be people can't believe what they see on TV either.
There was uh an app that came out this week, and uh it was um uh out from open AI, and uh course they took the CEO of OpenAI and they made a video showing him shoplifting GPU cards out of Walmart or something or Target.
And so people said they don't realize uh what they're showing people here is just how dangerous this stuff could be.
They've already had people who have been falsely identified by AI facial recognition and biometrics.
And even though they were warned that that was not completely reliable, they went ahead and used that to prosecute the personnel.
They were able to beat the rap.
But um, you know, you're not gonna be able to see uh trust what you see on TV either, because these things are getting very, very good.
No, it's it's it's it's disgusting.
Yeah.
And it's only going this AI is gonna make things a lot worse.
And um again, they're there you talked about again you were talking before about the Ukraine war.
People have no idea how the United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Victor Yanukovych in 2014.
Yeah.
That's right.
We wrote about it in detail.
You see how happy that guy is?
I you I've told you this a dozen times.
That this 2014 is the when the magazine used to be a quarterly, now it's a weekly, about the United States' overthrow.
Washington is driving the world to the final war, and and uh Washington's coup in Ukraine brought not only a threat to the Russian population in Ukraine, but also a direct strategic threat to Russia itself.
I mean, it's right here.
People have no idea about the facts, they don't care about the facts.
Or go to CNN, it's something about Taylor Swift's new album, all right?
That's the front page.
That's right.
Yeah.
I'm not making it up.
Yeah.
Nothing about the slaughter of the Palestinian people.
Nothing.
Zero.
That or the latest celebrity divorce that is out there, you know.
And uh yeah, exactly right.
Yeah.
And they're talking about censorship.
Narrative war pits Pentagon against press.
This is the New York Times, 925.
This year uh September 25th.
Imagine for a moment that the Defense Department's new demand for a pledge from Pentagon reporters, a commitment not to publish even unclassified information except what U.S. press officers approve.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Press offices?
What?
Little arrogant clown telling me what I should say, and this is unclassified?
Yeah, and if you do it, we'll kill you.
Well, throw you in jail.
This is the kind of stuff that they do when there's a declared war, except they've got all these wars going on, even though they don't declare them.
And so uh, of course, the censorship is part of what we see with a uh an ongoing war, and we have war everywhere.
And every day it seems like we're getting some new conflict.
It's just like this thing with Bagram came out of nowhere, and he's got about as much chance of getting the the uh Afghan Afghan uh government there to sign on to that as he does getting Greenland.
Um but uh you know I never thought that he would attack Greenland.
I could imagine that he would attack Bagram.
Nah you know it's uh you know I at the rally this is what I read.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a m more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
What do you mean we the people?
It's me the politician, not you the people.
So shut the hell up.
Yep.
Again, you saw with the COVID war.
From from cities to states to the nation.
We're in charge, we'll tell you what to do.
Oh, now look at the Democrats over there pumping up that arrogant little another daddy's boy, got sewn Gavin Newsom.
Yep.
Oh, this is the slime ball that locked down California while he's partying up at the French laundry for $400 a plate.
Yeah.
I'm having a party with my friends.
We don't need masks.
We could do what we want.
You're just a little plantation worker of slave landing.
You do what I tell you to do.
Yeah.
He's always got a new scam coming out, doesn't he?
They should call him Gavin New Scam.
Yeah.
One scam after the other.
But uh yeah, it's uh it's an elite club, and we're not in it.
And of course, um you know, when you talk about the press and the consolidation, we've not seen this kind of consolidation in the past that we're seeing now with the Ellisons, for example.
You know, we have seen I remember years ago they're saying, you know, look at you've got all the different uh press that are being consolidated, both uh uh broadcast as well as printed press were s consolidating into just a few companies.
And they saw the same thing happening in uh the film industry.
They were consolidating into just a few of the um few studios, and now with Larry Ellison, what you're seeing is a consolidation, now that they've consolidated these individual industries, now they are consolidating these few remaining studios and these few remaining press agencies, they're consolidating them together.
Ellison is doing that, and also now with TikTok, you're starting to see once you bring TikTok and social media, you have social media, entertainment, and the press all being consolidated and held by just a couple of people.
Yep.
Uh that's the pattern that we're seeing here.
And again, I've been banned on TikTok, banned on Facebook.
Yeah.
Yep.
And I think that kind of consolidation for control is one of the worst forms of censorship, because that's what we've been fighting from the very very beginning with this.
You know, when they come out and the Pentagon says you can't report on that, that gets people's attention, but when they just make you disappear, you know, or they swamp you with all the rest of this uh slop that they put out there, uh that's the thing that's difficult to get around.
We will know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.
Yeah, that's right.
Remember that one?
Yeah, that's right.
William Casey.
Yeah.
CIA director, 1981.
All right?
Yeah.
Crap's been going on for a long time.
That was a guy going on for a long time.
That was a guy who was running the Iran Contra thing, you know.
Yeah.
One of the founders of OSS that went to the CIA and he became Reagan's uh campaign manager and then uh uh heavy and the uh Reagan administration, Bill Casey.
While Bill Casey.
Yep.
Yeah, gonna deceive the.
Very, very sad, and I'm very sad.
I'm telling you that, you know, this thing cost a lot of money and aggravation to put on these these rallies, and that so few people, no young people.
Matter of fact, there's a nice young guy uh goes to Bard College, which is right across the river over here.
It's in Ryan uh half hour away.
And uh he put signs up all over the campus, all over Ryan Beck, told all his friends, not one young person showed up From school.
Not one.
There's an article in um in uh Monday's New York Times about how kids in college and young people they don't talk to each other anymore.
They're on the phones all the time.
That's right.
That's right.
And that's the future.
It's it's it's um it's so sad.
It's so sad.
You know, as I say, they misspelled it in the King's James Bible where they said the meek shall inherit the earth.
The geeks have inherited the earth.
Yeah.
The music stinks, the style stinks.
Look at look how they brought down the style.
These little clown boys dressing up in jeans and a f and a crappy t-shirt.
And that's what it is now.
Yeah.
I go out last night to a very fine restaurant, and there's a guy my age with a baseball cap on.
Yeah.
You know, and I like where when you wear them backwards.
Well, you're gonna put a catches mask on when he goes, what is it?
Yeah.
Well, uh, there's one thing I started the show with, uh, Gerald.
I'd like to get your take on it, you know, and that's Pharmageddon.
Trump's tariff policies have been horrific, especially for small businesses, but no so nowhere more so than the farms.
Uh they were the ones who are selling a lot of product to China, and uh Trump has made that go down to zero.
They had uh soybean, for example, we had a report about that.
Twelve and a half billion dollars, uh China bought in soybean last year.
This year they bought zero zero.
And in Arkansas, one out of every three f family farms are going down now.
Trump's solution to this is uh kind of what he did when he locked down the country in 2020.
I'll give you a stimulus check.
And uh this is the technocratic uh uh program to put us all on on the dole, put us all on welfare, we won't have jobs, won't have businesses.
And uh this is one of the things that I think is just so incredibly horrific about this.
Now the tariffs really are still not staple.
That's the key thing.
As bad as it is, even though it is a tax, and yet another tax, and uh, you know, I saw all this delusional stuff and the Trump media about how he's gonna get rid of the income tax.
And of course we knew that wasn't going to happen, because at the same time he's saying he's gonna put these tariffs on, he goes, and I'm gonna make the tax cuts permanent.
Well, if he makes a tax cut, so the income tax cuts permanent, that means he's making the income tax permanent as well.
Uh so it was clear that he wasn't going to do that.
In the past, conservatives would always be suspicious and aware when somebody was changing the tax structure and say, wait a minute, am I gonna wind up with two taxes where I used to have just one?
But this time everybody has gone to sleep.
And nobody is is pointing that out.
And um it's just a replay of the lockdown, I think.
Yeah, what do you think about that?
That what you know, economically what's happening and the damage with this, and of course it's going before the Supreme Court as to whether or not he can just arbitrarily impose tariffs on a whim uh if he has a bad day or he's uh gets angry with somebody in a particular country, he'll jack the uh tariffs up on that particular country uh for no apparent reason except for his narcissism.
But uh it'll be interesting to see what the Supreme Court says about this, but the damage this year has been horrific.
That's one of the reasons why gold is up so much, and you've been talking about that as well.
What do you see happening with the economy?
First of all, there's gonna be a dot-com bust.
They're way overinvested in the again, trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age, and die.
AI became public only three years ago.
You don't invest all your money in the infancy.
Number two, again, I mentioned this a number of times, again, slick willy.
Before he brought China into the World Trade Organization, 10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
Today, nearly 70%.
We're talking before about how young people are totally addicted.
China's gonna lead the world in AI.
You're seeing it with Deep Seek.
Matter of fact, Deep Seat just came out with another one yesterday with all different languages, much more efficient than any of the other ones out there.
The Chinese company for a much cheaper price.
There's gonna be a dot-com bust.
You're you're looking at the PE ratio is way, way overvalued.
And then you're looking at only a handful of companies, the so-called magnificent seven that are driving up the Nasdaq.
Like a couple of them they're responsible for 37% of the increase in the NASDAQ.
There's gonna be a dot com bust.
Globally, take a look at oil prices.
Brent crude last year was selling on average $81 a barrel, and now we're looking about $64 a barrel.
$65 a barrel.
And the reason being is there's a lot more supply than demand.
Then you have to look at the real numbers.
Look what's going on in Germany.
Two years of recession, third largest economy in the world, largest one in Europe, heading to the third year of recession.
Maybe it'll come out flat.
One country after another in Europe going down.
The emerging markets are submerging.
There's going to be the w this is we are headed for the worst geopolitical and socioeconomic crisis in my lifetime.
And I've been forecasting now for 45 years.
I've never seen anything like this.
And again, going back to gold.
Oh, you like the stock markets going up?
How much did gold go up this year?
Forty-seven percent.
How much did silver go up?
Only sixty percent.
Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?
It's telling you how bad it is.
Yeah.
That's right.
It's telling you the danger ahead.
That's why the prices are soaring.
And here's the other thing.
The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go up.
Because gold is dollar-based.
So it's cheaper for buy when your currencies go up.
Number two, they're gonna come out.
You saw that little Eric Trump boy talking more about these so-called stable coins.
Yeah.
Orwell could not have come up with a better name.
Yeah.
Stablecoin?
Who are you talking to?
Everything's gonna go digital.
They're gonna come up with a C B D C central bank digital currency.
This is way worth more than a dollar.
We just got rid of our debt level.
By the way, talking about the global economy.
Mm-hmm.
$140 trillion in debt when you put the nations together.
Actually, it's much higher than that.
In the United States, for example, it's not a $37 trillion debt level.
It's more like $137 trillion.
They don't put in Social Security, don't put in Medicare, they don't put in Medicaid, they don't put all the money the government owes for all these other ones.
When you put that in, you're well over 100 trillion.
Oh, yeah.
By the facts.
So you're talking about the crisis and why gold prices are going up.
I again, I've been at this for 45 years.
I started buying gold at 163 an ounce back in 1978.
I've been following it a long time.
So that's where we're going.
There's going to be a oh uh and then they're gonna ramp up the Israel war.
Uh they're gonna attack Iran.
If they attack Iran, it's the beginning of the end of life on Earth, because you don't again, you don't have to be good at math to figure this out.
There are 91 million Iranians versus 7 million Israelis.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, Iran, very advanced scientifically, militarily, technologically.
And what does Israel say when they're gonna lose?
Look it up.
Samson option, SAMSON.
We start losing, we go nuclear.
Oh, Israel's allowed to have nuclear weapons.
I forgot they're the chosen people.
Yeah.
Oh, they only have between 200 and 400 nuclear we warheads.
I can't have any, North Korea can't have any.
We'll tell you who could have them.
Well, you know, when you look at the um uh the cruise missiles, and now Trump wants to, he's gone from the peace summit with uh Putin and Alaska to now he's uh uh going to put cruise missiles there in Ukraine so they can go deep into Russian territory, saying, well, we're gonna limit it to infrastructure attacks.
Well it seems to me like that's gonna go both ways.
What do you think is gonna happen uh here?
I would imagine that they're not gonna launch some intercontinental ballistic missile, but you'll have uh infrastructure attacks that'll have plausible deniability.
And uh our infrastructure is very vulnerable to that type of at uh an attack, an asymmetric attack, and that could become uh that could be done by um Russia, it could be done by China, it could be done by some of these drug cartels that they want to go to war with.
And uh how they will use it, regardless of who it is that's doing that, I think is going to be um you know, up to uh you could just spin the the uh wheel to see what they're going to do with that.
What do you think is going to happen?
Are we gonna see massive disruption in that regard as well?
As Trump is talking about the enemy within and he's going to, you know, war with cartels as well as with people on the left.
He wants to deploy the military.
Seems like he wants to have a civil war here as well.
What do you think about that?
Let's talk about the cartels.
It's a lot of crap.
Had nothing to do with cartels.
Let's go back.
Right.
Cartels.
Why don't we go back to when he was president back in what was it, 2019, 2020, when he tried to overthrow the government with that little clown boy, uh what was his name?
Um he's the real president of Uc of Venezuela, not Maduro.
Remember that one?
Oh, remember when they try to overthrow it?
They came in from Colombia and they got wiped out?
Yeah.
That's right.
Had nothing to do with drug cartels back then.
That's right.
It made it.
It's about regime change, but they'll blame it on that, you know.
And that's what I'm saying.
It's a lot of crap.
Yeah.
It's a bunch of BS about cart.
They're using this as an excuse.
Again, go by the facts.
He tried to overthrow the government when he was president back in two thousand and nineteen and two thousand and twenty.
I covered an article yesterday, a guy made the point that we never heard of this trendy.
Yeah.
Guy made the point that we'd never heard of this trendy Aruga or whatever.
I just call 'em the trendy gang.
Uh he'd never heard of the trendy gang until 2018, which is when they started making their first moves uh in terms of doing this kind of stuff.
So I said, so is it a CIA uh created organization like they have done uh in the takeover of Syria or the things that we have seen in Afghanistan or places like that is a kind of a false flag thing to start with?
Because we know that the CIA has been running drugs out of Central America and other things like that.
Um and so uh is this whole uh trendy gang, is that really a uh a deep state operation there to uh uh give them an excuse to try to uh uh attack Venezuela as if they needed one.
I mean, here.
Venezuela, that's a pretty rich oil country, isn't it?
Yeah.
Very rich.
You think we you mentioned Syria.
You mean the United States taking over the oil in eastern Syria under the Assad regime?
Oh, we won't talk about that.
Oh, you mean they try to overthrow the Assad government, which they did because Iran wanted to put a a uh a pipeline into Syria so they could bring the oil out into the uh into the uh Mediterranean over there?
Oh, and they overthrew the took over?
Libya when the Nobel Peace of Crap Prize winner, Barack Obama, along with oh, if only women were in charge, we would have no war.
Hitler Clinton, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice overthrow the Qaddafi government?
Oh, you mean Libya that has one of the richest oil fields in the world where you don't have to dig deep to get the oil out?
You think we would have invaded Iraq, Syria, Libya, go into Venezuela if their major export was broccoli.
And then of course we got we got the pipeline, the um uh the Nord Stream pipeline, you know, we had to blow that up so we could sell them our uh liquid gas and all that kind of stuff.
It's all about that, isn't it?
Yeah.
That's all it's about.
You mentioned Smedley Butler before.
Yeah.
Was Iracket and he talks about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So uh I'm heartbroken.
Here, you ready for this?
I just read this before I went on the line um on the air.
Israel seizes last fertila boat, ready to deport hundreds as more ships set sail for Gaza.
Invading these boats in international water as they're trying to bring food to the starving people in Gaza.
That's all right.
Hey, we can do what we want.
You Ready?
Trump gives Sunday deadline for Hamas to take his Gaza proposal, quote, or be quickly extinguished.
This is the Israel that violated the last ceasefire agreement.
Oh, we won't talk about that.
Oh, yes, we will.
They violated in the middle in March.
March 16th or 18th.
And then they started starving all the Palestinian people.
Oh, Hamas agreed to the ceasefire agreement.
But Israel broke it.
Israel's oh, they're killing people in Lebanon every day.
Oh no, they're Hamas people we're killing over there.
No, no, they're a hezbollah people.
I forgot.
They violated the Lebanon ceasefire agreement over a hundred times.
Yeah.
They're gonna I'm telling you, if they go at war against Iran, it's gonna be the beginning of the end of life on earth.
I am so heartbroken that there's no support for peace.
Oh, oh, Musk is worth now what?
500 billion dollars?
Hey, got some.
How about a billion for peace?
Yeah.
Screw you, Celenti!
I want 600 billion.
Don't you know who I am?
Yeah.
You're nobody.
I'm a must.
And you must listen to me.
The F you Jack.
Yeah.
Not a penny for peace in the billionaires.
Oh, you mentioned Ellison, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And they're controlling everything.
You're not allowed to come out against Israel.
You're an anti-Samite.
The F U. Yeah, when we look at the uh what Trump did in the UN, uh I really got my attention, you know, when they were talking about putting in Tony Blair as uh governor of Gaza.
And then all of a sudden, uh a day or so later, it's like, oh no, we want Trump as the governor of this or whatever.
And I'm like, what happened with this?
And all of a sudden it all changed because Netanyahu came in and uh Trump had this plan that he had taken around to the Gulf states and Arab states and got them to all say, yeah, we like that.
Took it to the UN, even though it was a horrible plan, they all liked that, and he released it.
And then Netanyahu comes in and completely rewrites it, and Trump does everything that Netanyahu wants on that.
Yep.
Again, you know, the United look at the cover of the magazine this week.
Talk about the United Nations?
Call it the United Nothings.
All talk, no action.
Yep.
Yeah.
And they steal our money, the plantation workers of slave landers, so these little clown boys and girls could be UNM, this and that.
Nothing.
Empty, empty words, no action.
Oh, but I forgot.
They're the ones that officially made Israel the state back in 1948.
Yeah.
Stealing the land of the Palestinian people.
His Majesty's government declares that the land in Palestine will be settled by the Jewish people, and we will use our best endeavors to achieve this objective.
Oh, that was the Balfour Declaration in 1917, brought to you by the Rothschilds.
No, it's terrible.
Terrible, terrible, terrible.
Terrible.
What's going on?
No outrage.
And if you come out against it, yeah, these are Israel, an overwhelming exodus as Israel pounds Gaza.
Yep.
On and on and on.
On and on.
Much of Gaza's largest urban center is flattened.
Yeah.
Bombed to total ruins.
Hamas is living in every every hospital.
They're in every uh school, they're in every house.
Where's the outrage?
Yeah.
Yeah.
None.
Yeah.
None.
A small group of us are fighting.
But other than that.
And what you mentioned before about what's going on in Ukraine, Russia on Thursday, I heard you say this.
That there was no Cold War with the West because it was now a fiery conflict.
Yeah, that's right.
World War III is begun.
Oh, you asked before, we didn't get into my mind went into another area about what's going to happen in Ukraine.
A false flag event.
They're going to blow up a nuclear power plant.
They're going to do something.
They're going to create something that's going to escalate that war.
Yeah.
And we know that all the NATO countries are, you know, pushing this and planning for it.
They are, you know, increasing the draft.
They're increasing their military spending.
I mean, here in Germany where their economy is tanking, they're going in and borrowing money and putting massive amounts into military expenditure.
And both Germany and France are telling their hospitals to get ready for mass casualties as this is all happening.
It isn't like uh these things are some event that's going to get out of control and run away.
These people are pushing it relentlessly towards uh this goal.
Writing about it every week in the magazine.
Yeah.
Talked about that Germany, again, two years of recession heading into their third.
They're barring a trillion dollars.
A trillion dollars to build up their military, and we're going to build up our infrastructure so they could hold the tanks.
I'm not making this up.
Brought to you by Harry Mertz.
Oh, Merz, the Black Rock guy that's playing the Chancellor.
We gotta stop those Russians.
We only killed 25 million of them in World War II.
We got to kill more of them now.
Oh, this is the Germany that gave us World War I and World War II.
Yeah.
All right.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Germany.
Yeah.
That slaughtered Operation Barbarosis killed over 25 million Russian people.
Oh, by the way, who were the first to defeat the Germans in World War II?
The Russians.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
You ready?
What you were talking about.
U.S. to provide Kyiv with intelligence to missile strikes deep inside Russia.
Crisis is unfolding at Russian-held nuclear plant.
We've been warning about this.
And here's what he say, right here.
Russia says Ukraine artillery severed the severed the line and render repairs too too dangerous to repair.
Ukraine is bombing a thing.
You're going to blame it on the Russians.
Well, I mean, just look at how everybody is looking for any kind of excuse.
I mean, we had these situations with drones harassing airports in Denmark.
And you know, they they wanted to try to bull uh build that into uh World War III, and it's like you can't prove that that was uh who that was.
I mean, it could be domestic people that were doing that.
And we had that happening all over the East Coast about a year ago.
Uh but um I got before we run out of time, I got a couple of comments here I wanted to give you uh uh Gerald uh from Guard Goldsmith.
He said, I wish I'd been able to be with folks at Gerald's event.
He said the speakers are great, he caught it online.
He said they'd plan to go.
And I I met Gard when I was there uh uh four years ago.
He said uh frustrating, but he got to watch online.
Uh he got sick.
He said he couldn't make it, but um, yeah, it's um it it truly is sad that there isn't any support uh for peace.
And even yeah, it's just it's crazy the way people are manipulated, how tribal everybody's gotten.
You know, you take a look at this Charlie Kirk thing, and everybody is freaking out about it, they want to name everything after Charlie Kirk.
And yet what was it that Charlie Kirk did?
He would uh he would go and promote free speech and free debate, and yet these same people are wanting to try to shut down speech and debate.
I think it's just a sign of the times in which we live, and people are losing their mind here at the end of this fourth turning.
And um, as you pointed out, as the financial stuff is going down, they always take us to war.
That's what really happens in a fourth turning.
It's always a major economic catastrophe, and then they take us to war, and they know what times that we're in.
You know, they constantly talk about these generations and you know, Gen Z, Gen X were you know, boomers and this and that millennials.
And uh yet they don't want you to look at the overall trend that is a cyclical thing that is uh that is then also uh a uh uh exploited by these leaders who who know uh what the zeitgeist is in a particular uh culture at any given time, and so they use that to uh get what they want, which is to take us to war to distract us from what they're doing.
Yeah, it's it's sad, and it's true.
Yeah, and again, people won't like me because I'm angry.
He who's not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral.
Why?
Because anger looks to the good of justice.
And if we live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
That's right.
That's a good place to end it.
And again, everybody go to Trends Journal and uh don't forget to use the code Knight.
And you get uh basically twelve times the content they used to get a few years ago from Gerald.
You speak quarterly, now it's weekly.
And we have uh someone here who's got a comment and a tip from Big Olaf.
Thank you, big Olaf says love the content.
Thanks for keeping it real.
And uh we keep it real by getting Gerald Slinty on here frequently.
Thank you so much for coming on, Gerald.
Appreciate it.
Appreciate Trends Journal.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Have a good weekend, everybody.
���� 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.
