Time	Text
	Alright, welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Friday, May 24th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And you will want to stay tuned because we have a special interview coming up today with Gerald Salenti from the Trends Journal.
	And he's got some very important big analysis about where things are headed.
	Importantly, in that interview, I asked him about, well, the announcement from Blinken just yesterday about allowing Ukraine to go ahead and use long range U.S. weapons or missiles to strike targets.
	deep within Russia.
	And what this means, what the escalation is going to look like, what's the impact, I mean, perhaps literal impact, on the United States.
	So definitely stay tuned for that.
	Gerald Salenti.
	Coming up here, I've also got a special report about that announcement from Blinken.
	It's a very big deal.
	In fact, we're going to get to that report here just shortly.
	And I've got something else, sort of a teaser about a major historic announcement we're going to be making on Monday.
	And you will definitely want to tune in Monday.
	I know it's Memorial Day.
	And we have specifically chosen that day for this historic announcement.
	I'll give you more details about that coming up here today.
	But first, a couple of important news items.
	This first one from the UK Daily Mail.
	300 Boeing planes used by United and American Airlines have a potential flaw that could cause fire or explosion on the jets, according to the FAA. Yeah, right.
	So, wait a second.
	You mean there's 300 Boeing jets in service right now that could just explode in the air?
	Yes, according to the FAA. The issue involves, this is from the Daily Mail, an electrical fault on the Boeing 777 jets that, if left unaddressed...
	Listen to this.
	Could cause fuel tanks on the plane's wings to catch fire and explode.
	Oh, is that all?
	That's it?
	It could cause fuel tanks on the plane's wings to catch fire and explode.
	Now, for those of you who are not aeronautical engineers, it turns out when wings explode, they no longer provide lift.
	Ha ha.
	And guess what happens to the rest of the plane?
	Oh, yeah, it joins the wreckage of the Iranian president and his helicopter on the side of the mountain.
	That's not good.
	Yeah, bad scene there.
	Man, don't fly a helicopter in fog in a mountainous region with a lack of maintenance parts, perhaps.
	I'm just saying.
	I don't mean any disrespect.
	I mean, I don't want anybody to die in an accident.
	It's sad that it happens to anybody, but back in America, 300 Boeing jets flying around that could just explode.
	So...
	The FAA reported this issue in March and requested that the companies respond by May 9th.
	So it's like, well, you know, there are hundreds of planes that could explode, but just take your time replying.
	A couple of months will be fine.
	Just let us know in a couple of months if you think that you should do something about this.
	Mm-hmm.
	Now, Boeing responded with a statement, and they said that this FAA issue that the FAA claims could cause the wings to explode is, quote, not an immediate safety of flight issue.
	Okay.
	If that's Boeing standard, I don't want to get on a Boeing.
	Well, I don't want to get on a Boeing aircraft anyway.
	But Boeing says that the 777 fleet has been operating for nearly 30 years and has flown more than 3.9 billion passengers.
	Yeah, I'm not sure that's true, actually.
	I think it's a lot less than 3.9 billion passengers who have flown multiple times.
	I don't think 3.9 billion people on the planet have flown on a Boeing 777, by the way.
	So, just saying, quality control doesn't exist in their press releases, and it doesn't exist in their safety testing and manufacturing and whatever else they're doing.
	To me, if the wings might blow up, eh, maybe I'll drive instead.
	Anyway, if you want to look this up, this is an FAA Airworthiness Directive And it's got a number.
	Where is it?
	It's got a number.
	Identifier.
	It says AD-2023-01256-TRIN2120-AA64. I don't know if that's the...
	The right number.
	Anyway, it says that there could be an electrostatic discharge near the center wing fuel tanks, which could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank and subsequent fire or explosion.
	Ignition sources inside the fuel tanks.
	Not good.
	By the way, that reminds me to tell you that TWA Flight 800...
	It was not an exploding fuel stream.
	It was taken down by the United States Navy that fired a missile.
	And it was probably a mistake.
	They were firing missiles around just to test them, and they didn't realize that the missile locked onto a passenger jet.
	Over the Atlantic.
	Yeah, TWA Flight 800.
	And then there was a massive cover-up from the Navy and the media and the government.
	That was many years ago.
	Anyway, that's not what this is about, but just saying.
	So anyway, American Airlines is one of the airlines that's flying these, you know, kaboom Boeing planes, the 777 boom edition.
	Spontaneous explosion.
	But American Airlines has something else going on that's pretty creepy.
	Pretty creepy.
	Did you know that you can be filmed using the toilet on an American Airlines flight?
	Spontaneous explosion.
	And if you are filmed by an American Airlines employee using the toilet, then if you raise a stink about it, so to speak, an American Airlines attorney will argue that you should have known you were being recorded.
	Yeah, and the way we know this is from a story in law enforcement today.
	Attorney for American Airlines says that a nine-year-old girl should have known she was being recorded.
	By a creepy flight attendant in the restroom during the flight.
	So in January of this year, a male flight attendant for American Airlines was arrested for allegedly attempting to record a nine-year-old girl who was using the lavatory.
	And then months later, the lawyer representing American Airlines says that the girl is to blame because she should have known she was being recorded.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, just remember that the next time you drop drawers in the toilet on American Airlines.
	And apparently this flight attendant, who no doubt no longer works for American Airlines, had recordings on his phone of four other young female passengers using the toilets on the plane, on other planes where he had worked previously.
	So I guess the good news is if you're older, Maybe the creepy airline employees won't try to record you using the toilet.
	Or if you're, perhaps if you're, especially if you're an older male, maybe the creepy flight attendants don't care.
	But Super Creep definitely is trying to record young girls using the toilet.
	Again, super crazy creepy, right?
	So here's what happened.
	On May 20th, an American Airlines attorney had a legal filing with the court.
	Said that the young girl should have been aware that the phone of the flight attendant had been sort of kind of hidden in the restroom to record her.
	The attorney wrote in his filing that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by the plaintiff, Mary Doe, calling her Mary Doe in order to protect her privacy, her name, were,
	according to the attorney, were approximately caused By the plaintiff's own fault and negligence, blaming the girl, comma, were approximately caused by plaintiff's use of the compromised lavatory.
	What?
	Which means it's your fault for using the restroom, comma, which she knew or should have known contained a visible and illuminated recording device.
	What?
	So, it's, oh, it's the girl's fault.
	It's the girl's fault, according to American Airlines.
	So, tell me what's worse.
	Okay, scenario number one, you're filmed half-naked using the toilet, or the wings blow up because it's a Boeing.
	Now, either one of these could happen on American Airlines, and possibly, if you're really unlucky, both could happen.
	First, you're recorded using the toilet, And then the wings blow up.
	That would be a very bad day.
	Now, I do want to state that American Airlines denounced that filing later on, saying that the legal counsel retained with our insurance company made an error in this filing.
	The included defense is not representative of our airline, and they should have inserted on our airline You won't be recorded using the toilet, but the wings might blow up.
	And we have directed it to be amended this morning.
	We do not believe this child is at fault.
	And we take the allegations involving a former team member very seriously.
	So, just for the record, American Airlines basically said WTF What the heck is going on?
	So it turns out that this attorney, who was in essence arguing on behalf of American Airlines, worked for the insurance company of American Airlines, and they were trying to not pay out some kind of claim, like a civil settlement claim, because if they could blame the girl, well, then they're not at fault.
	So just remember that, folks.
	Just remember...
	I mean, what is this world coming to?
	Where you can be blamed for this kind of shenanigan behavior, criminal behavior, on the part of super creep employees who are just doing perverted stuff.
	I thought the flight attendants, I thought their deal was they just bang each other.
	I thought they'd just go to a city, wherever they're flying to, especially San Francisco, get off the plane, and they all just go bang each other.
	I didn't know they're getting off on the passengers, too.
	I don't care if they go bang each other.
	None of my business.
	But leave the passengers alone, for God's sake.
	Anyway, how much you want to bet that flight attendant was probably hired because he was woke.
	You know?
	Fully woke.
	Probably put on his resume, and good with children, you know, that kind of sickness.
	And then the airline's like, eh, you know what?
	We are kind of short in the grooming category.
	We could use some groomers.
	We've got a lot of boomers, but not enough groomers.
	Yeah, that reminds me, what do you call a plane full of old retired people, New York senators and pedophiles?
	Hmm?
	The answer should be obvious.
	Boomers, Schumers, and Groomers.
	There you go.
	Okay, let's change the subject because that's getting too bizarre.
	Here's a story that's actually even more weird in a totally different way.
	This one out of RT. UK MPs applaud Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
	So apparently, some soldiers from the neo-Nazi Azov Brigade out of Ukraine, which is actually composed of Nazis, and they're all into symbols of the Third Reich, this military unit, three members of it, were in Parliament in the UK just yesterday, and British lawmakers cheered them.
	They were speaking to the parliament members there, and let's see, they were captured, but Russia had surrendered them to Turkey on the condition that they not return to Ukraine to join the fighting.
	So these neo-Nazi fighters Are being totally welcomed by not only Boris Johnson when he was Prime Minister, but also, of course, than other members of the UK Parliament.
	So here we have just another example of this insanity of Western European countries or governments applauding neo-Nazis.
	Now, Understand that this group, the Azov Brigade, has been accused of human rights abuses by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International and the United Nations.
	And apparently they are heroes according to the UK government.
	So, hey, if you're the UK government, you can never have enough Nazis to Keep the Nazis coming, according to the UK. I wonder if Boris Johnson was missing the event.
	Boris Johnson shows up with a swastika, waving it back and forth.
	We're on the same team!
	All right, and then one more totally crazy story before we get to the special reports and the bigger news.
	This one from Revolver News.
	UCLA School of Medicine hires a woke dean of admissions, and then suddenly the students start failing at an explosive rate.
	So my comment on this is get ready for a wave of woke doctors coming out of the woke medical schools.
	Where, of course, you don't have to be able to practice medicine to make it through.
	You just have to be the right skin color, the right transgenderism, or the right LGBT, or have the right belief systems.
	You could be a white liberal as long as you're a lesbian female or a transgender male.
	Whatever.
	You have to qualify in the woke category, not in medicine.
	And so, every time, have you noticed, every time they hire a woke DEI type of director for a university or a government department or whatever, have you noticed that everything just goes to crap at that point?
	Because there's no longer any merit in it.
	The students no longer are capable of doing anything.
	So according to the story, race-based admissions have turned UCLA into a failed medical school, said one former member of the admissions staff.
	We want racial diversity so badly we're willing to cut corners to get it.
	In essence, they're bringing in unqualified, at least the examples in the story were unqualified black candidates who were brought in just because they were black.
	So, yeah, there were unqualified white candidates, too, of course, but they were not invited into the school.
	But if you're black and unqualified, then, oh, well, now there's special consideration for you.
	And what's happening is that these students accepted into the medical school, they keep failing and dropping out because they're just flatly not qualified.
	They don't have the knowledge, they don't have the backgrounds, and they were brought in because of their skin color, and it's not working.
	And I've covered this before, and it's very disturbing because, of course, I welcome doctors who are black or Asian or Indian or white or whatever.
	It doesn't matter to me what their race is or even their gender or whatever, as long as they're qualified to practice medicine and as long as they behave ethically and honorably and honestly.
	It's fine with me.
	It doesn't matter to me what their race is.
	But the fact that in today's woke medical schools, if you're a white graduate, you had to earn it because you never get bonus points for being white.
	That's just a straight-up fact.
	But if you're a black graduate or a transgender graduate or a bisexual graduate or a, let's say, illegal alien graduate, then...
	You may not be qualified.
	Because you probably got advanced through the medical school based on these other properties, including your skin color, rather than any kind of qualification for being a doctor.
	And in this, by the way, the UCLA Medical School is also, of course, blatantly racially discriminating against white people.
	And by the way, also Asians, right?
	So this is the other dirty little secret of the woke industry, is that Asians are being excluded.
	Not just white people.
	Asian people.
	Why?
	Well, because Asian people, generally speaking, are very academically capable.
	Very smart, very high IQ, good studying discipline, lots of things.
	And also there's a culture, an Asian culture, of the Chinese mom or the Korean mom is basically cracking the whip on their kid to, you know, you're going to study 12 hours a day, you're going to get the best grades, you're going to get into the best schools, and it's like, whoa, mom!
	If you grew up with an Asian mom, Presumably you would be Asian too, but if you grew up with an Asian mom like that, then you know what I'm talking about.
	Asian moms can be like the craziest about making their kids study, but as a result of that, Those kids, they perform academically, and they tend to get into universities and colleges and medical schools at a much higher proportion than any other race or ethnic group that I can think of.
	And so a lot of these schools discriminate against Asians because they say there's too many Asians.
	Which is racist!
	What do you mean there's too many Asians and not enough blacks?
	So what do you do?
	You punish people for being Asian?
	And you reward them for being black, even if they're not qualified to become doctors?
	And the answer is yes!
	That's exactly what goes on when you hire a woke DEI doctor.
	Program director, you know, diversity director who runs around with a little magic fairy wand.
	I choose you!
	You know, and just touches people with the fairy wands.
	You're special because you're black and you're special because you're transgender and you're special.
	This is destroying medical schools.
	This is destroying Western medicine.
	It's destroying society.
	It doesn't work.
	It's not fair to the students nor to the future patients of the doctors if those doctors aren't qualified.
	These people, these graduates of this program are going to go out there and kill patients.
	And of course, then they'll get bonus money from the government if they kill them with COVID, as we know.
	But these people will kill patients without even trying.
	You know, I mean, any white doctor can kill patients for money.
	We saw that during COVID. Yeah, they collect a lot of money, make more money for the hospital.
	All they do is diagnose you with COVID and then, you know, start murdering.
	But to kill all kinds of patients accidentally, oh, that takes a woke DEI, med student graduate.
	And then they're like, oops!
	We accidentally killed all those patients.
	Good thing we got a cover story of having, you know, the right skin color, the right sexual orientation, the right gender, the right everything else.
	Otherwise, well, it might be consequences.
	You know what they should do with all the woke students who aren't qualified to actually become doctors?
	They should put them in the autopsy department.
	At least the patient's already dead.
	Like, whoops!
	Accidentally snipped an artery.
	Oh, good thing he already dead, you know.
	Whoopsie!
	Dropped another surgical tool into the chest cavity.
	Oh, no worries.
	His heart rate was zero to begin with.
	So, there is a place for woke medical students who aren't qualified.
	It's just not working on the living, is all I'm saying.
	And another answer to all of this is, you know what you could do to avoid being harmed by one of these woke, trained, unqualified doctors?
	You know what you could do?
	Don't go to the doctor.
	Now, I'm not saying...
	I mean, look, if you have a medical emergency, you're bleeding out, you've broken a bone, whatever, yeah, of course, go to the ER. But what I'm saying, to clarify, is that if you pursue a healthy lifestyle, you eat well, superfoods, You know, you detoxify in safe, effective ways.
	You avoid toxic personal care products.
	You avoid all the cancer-causing chemicals, right?
	You live the lifestyle that I espouse, basically.
	Clean food.
	Clean water, clean personal care products, you know, the kinds of things that we sell at healthrangerstore.com, by the way.
	Ultra clean, laboratory tested.
	We don't use any artificial fragrance, anything like that.
	If you do these things, guess what?
	You will be a healthier person.
	And it doesn't mean that you will never have a medical emergency in your life, but...
	It's so crazy to me that every time I hear this from other people, they're like, oh, I have a pain in my hip or whatever.
	I'm going to go see a doctor.
	Have you tried body rolling?
	Have you tried rolling on the hip or rolling on the IT band?
	Have you tried stretching?
	Have you tried swimming?
	I mean, there's so many things that you could do.
	Instead of just going to the doctor as your first default choice, what's the doctor going to do?
	He's going to give you painkillers.
	That's not going to solve your problem.
	I'm not saying that doctors don't have a role to play in diagnosis, but people are too quick to go to doctors for every problem they have.
	Instead of thinking about, well, how do I deal with this in a logical, rational, preventative kind of way?
	I mean, you know, over a year ago, as you recall, I almost severed my index finger, almost lost the finger.
	And normally, I mean, I would recommend other people go to the emergency room.
	I did not.
	And as a result, it's really amazing.
	If you were to look at my finger right now, you could never tell.
	You could never tell that it was injured.
	There's not even a scar because I never got any stitches.
	I just used...
	Well, I stopped the bleeding.
	I mean, I'm not going to go through the whole story, but I regrew the nerves and the blood vessels and everything, and it all healed up.
	It took many, many months, actually.
	And it was a very severe injury, but I did not break the bone.
	If I had broken the bone, or if I had completely severed the primary tendon, I would have gone to the doctor, and I would have had microsurgery to reattach the tendon.
	Lucky for me, I only partially tore the tendon, and so I was able to get it to repair itself.
	Anyway, I'm just saying...
	Look, if you have a medical emergency, yes, go to the ER, get proper medical care.
	But for everyday life, don't by default think that everything that you are experiencing has to be addressed by a doctor.
	For the most part, they're just going to put you on drugs.
	You're like, doctor, doctor, I'm out of breath when I'm walking up the stairs.
	And instead of the doctor telling you, What some people need to hear, like, hey, you know what?
	Let's change your lifestyle and diet and exercise and help you drop 50 pounds or whatever, because that's going to be what you really need.
	Instead of that, they're going to say, here, inject yourself with this Gila monster venom.
	This is a hot new weight loss drug, and you just jab yourself, like, with venom fangs once a week.
	You know, these Ozempic-style drugs.
	Here, take this drug.
	Goodbye.
	Have fun with the jabs.
	You know, that's what doctors do.
	That doesn't help people.
	So if you want bad medical advice on every little thing, yeah, go see a pharma whore.
	Or if you have a medical emergency, yeah, I get it.
	Okay.
	Go to the ER. Get stitched back up.
	I get it.
	But for most everyday things, pursue a healthier lifestyle, better nutrition, better food choice, reasonable levels of exercise, resistance training, keep your weight in balance to the best of your ability.
	Calorie restriction is okay.
	We're not going to die.
	We're not actually starving to death here.
	It's okay to skip a meal for most people, you know?
	You know what my favorite dish is in the hotter summer months in Texas?
	I just absolutely love this dish, and it's so simple.
	All it is, it's just cut up fresh fruit.
	It's like mangoes and apples and pears and oranges and berries and blueberries, just covered in organic yogurt.
	That's it.
	It's just like, I love it.
	It's just some fresh fruit.
	Let's bite-sized little fruit chunks with some yogurt on it.
	It's like, nothing beats this.
	There's nothing else.
	Now, it is trouble to make this because you can't buy it that way.
	So you do have to buy all the fruits and everything and then make it.
	So, you know, it takes effort.
	But nothing beats it.
	And it's so simple and it's loaded with nutrition.
	Now you want to make it interesting, start throwing in some peppermint leaves, you know, some different herbs.
	Like, whoa, what was that?
	A little taste of cilantro in there.
	What?
	Yeah, just surprise yourself, you know?
	What was that?
	Was that rosemary?
	Does that even go with fruit?
	You know?
	Keep it interesting, folks.
	And remember, your food is your medicine.
	And one other note, and this is, I'm serious about this.
	You know, you see the woke people out there right now, and they usually have blue hair or purple hair or pink hair.
	I'm not saying that everybody with different colored hair is a woke person.
	I've seen plenty of non-woke people with different hair colors.
	But the typical woke person has blue hair and is covered in tattoos.
	Did you know that the tattoo ink contains toxic heavy metals and chemicals?
	And some of the colors of the tattoo ink contain mercury.
	I think red is the color that can contain much higher mercury, if I'm remembering correctly.
	But they also contain other toxic chemicals, by the way.
	And then the hair dyes are so incredibly toxic.
	Unless they're natural dyes, which normally the natural dyes don't work that well.
	I mean, because they don't have the chemicals to penetrate the hair.
	So you realize if you're using hair dye, it's solvents.
	It's solvents that's driving the color pigments, which are artificial and cancer-causing, into your hair.
	And when you do that procedure, your scalp is right there.
	Your scalp is your skin covering your skull.
	And your skin gets opened up with all the solvents, and it drives the color right into your skin.
	So if a person out there is literally...
	Always get blue hair, purple hair, artificial blonde hair, whatever, and a bunch of tattoos.
	you can safely assume they're intoxicated.
	They've been mass poisoned by the hair dye chemicals and the tattoo chemicals.
	And I'm not saying if you have one little tattoo that you got in college, whatever, it's not going to kill you.
	I'm not saying that.
	I'm just saying people that are covered in tattoos and always have dyed hair, they're living a toxic lifestyle.
	That is going to end up in cancer or neurological poisoning, neurological disorders, all kinds of things.
	To this day, I'm not harping on anybody who's got a tattoo, but I have no tattoos.
	And I don't use hair dye.
	Never have, never will.
	My hair turns gray, it's gray.
	You know?
	It's like, okay, whatever, man.
	Nothing wrong with gray.
	You know, somebody says, well, you should use hair dye.
	Why don't you use hair dye?
	You could look 10 years younger.
	Because I don't want to die 10 years earlier from the cancer caused by the hair dyes.
	That's why.
	I don't mind living longer and having gray hair.
	I mean, as long as you're living healthy, nothing wrong with age.
	And what's the real price of all these procedures and these injections and everything to try to look younger?
	So you're jabbing yourself with Gila monster venom, which is, those are the venom peptides that the weight loss drugs are made out of, by the way.
	So basically you're having like a lizard, like a reptilian fang bite in your butt cheek once a week, or wherever people jab themselves with that.
	And then, you know, you're doing the toxic hair dye causing cancer.
	And what else?
	What else are people doing?
	Like, oh, a lot of plastic surgery, which sometimes it's like, oh, I'm thinking Madonna, you know, instead of looking like a normal 70-year-old woman, she looks like a 45-year-old alien, you know?
	What happened to your face?
	I don't mean to get off on this, but folks, there's nothing wrong with looking the age you are.
	I mean, you don't want to have accelerated aging, which is what a lot of people are experiencing because of all the toxins that they're taking in.
	But don't go crazy harming yourself to try to look five years younger, ten years younger.
	For most of us, you know how you look younger?
	Lose a few pounds.
	For all of us, myself included, you want to look younger?
	Lose a few pounds.
	Very simple.
	You want great looking skin?
	Eat superfoods.
	It works.
	Eat superfoods.
	I mean, nobody comes up to me and says, oh, your skin looks like a hundred year old, like your skin's falling off.
	No.
	Skin's doing fine, because that's internal nutrition, healthy oils.
	You know, we've got the ahi flour oil that's really good.
	We've got acizanthin in our store.
	We've got, you know, just real nutrition, superfoods, all these kinds of things.
	But just make healthier food choices.
	Your skin will glow naturally from the inside.
	Your hair, your nails...
	Did you know if you make smoothies like I make smoothies and you start drinking those smoothies all the time, you know your nails are going to grow like crazy?
	I know because I've heard this from people that I've been making smoothies for.
	They're like, my nails are suddenly growing.
	Yeah, imagine what it's doing for your tendons too.
	You know, everything inside.
	It's all growing back.
	They're like, what'd you put in the smoothie?
	Same stuff I always put in the smoothies.
	It's turmeric.
	It's avocados.
	It's whey protein.
	Some bananas.
	Coconut water.
	Sometimes I put goji berries in there.
	Sometimes I put broccoli sprouts with sulforaphane.
	Sometimes I even put black seed oil in it.
	Cumin seed oil.
	Man, my nails are growing like crazy.
	I've got to clip my nails all the time.
	Yeah.
	Imagine what it's doing to your hair, your skin, and your nails.
	Because good nutrition does that.
	Good nutrition does that.
	All right, so let's jump into the special reports here before I get too carried away on nutrition.
	The first one is titled, Blinken and Nuland push dangerous war escalation with Russia begging for nuclear retaliation.
	Because, of course, Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland, who is no longer employed by the federal government, they're both demanding that Ukraine fire U.S. weapons to hit long range targets deep inside of Russia.
	And apparently permission has been given.
	So this is what's about to happen.
	This is, like I say in the title, they're begging for nuclear retaliation.
	That's what they want.
	Let's hope they don't get what they want.
	But here's a special report.
	Give it a listen.
	And we'll be back on the other side.
	All right.
	We really have a dangerous war escalation with Russia that's being pushed by U.S. members, U.S. congressional members, as well as Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
	And the change that has just been announced is that Ukraine will now be allowed to use U.S. weapons to launch strikes deep within Russian territory in order to strike Energy facilities, logistics facilities, planning and operational bases, you know, more air bases, whatever.
	Anything that Ukraine wants to hit.
	Now, Ukraine has been restricted from doing this before, where the US said, yeah, you can use our weapons, but only to take back the Donbass territory, you know, fight Russia in Donbass.
	Not to bomb Russia.
	But of course, Zelensky has been begging for permission to strike deeper targets.
	And the U.S. military industrial complex, which of course owns Congress, well, along with the Zionists, you'd have to say.
	They are wanting to escalate the conflict and then of course the Biden administration wants to escalate the conflict into World War III in order to have a bigger crisis and potentially cancel the election, print more money, you know, declare war, declare himself a dictator just like Zelensky is a dictator.
	You notice that Zelensky's term as president has expired.
	Zelensky is no longer an elected official of Ukraine, it turns out.
	And what enabled him to stay in power without an election, even after his term expired?
	Oh, war with Russia!
	What do you know?
	It's a blueprint for America.
	But here's what they're not telling you.
	As all these warmongering members of Congress, all these warmongers in the State Department, In the Biden administration, they're not telling you that if we're going to play this game, Russia can strike targets much deeper into Europe, which provide logistics, support, supply, decision-making, military planning, and so on, to Ukraine.
	And that would include a whole lot of targets in none other than Poland.
	So if Ukraine wants to strike all these targets deep within Russia, with the U.S. saying, well, this is how we have to stop the fuel supply, the ammo supply, logistics and everything, well, Russia is going to say, okay, all right, you want to play that game?
	Well, guess what?
	Yeah, it's now no restrictions on Russia striking targets in Poland, or in Germany, or in the U.K., for that matter.
	Let's suppose that Ukraine launches some more UK-made storm shadow missiles and hits Russian naval vessels, which they have done successfully, or attacks the Kerch Bridge in Crimea.
	Well...
	Russia can say, okay, guess what?
	Those were storm shadow missiles, and now that we're playing this unrestricted warfare game, well, guess what?
	We're going to strike the storm shadow missile production facility wherever that is in the UK, and I don't know where it is, but let's just say it's somewhere on the outskirts of London.
	Guess what?
	You know?
	Kaboom!
	Maybe small tactical nuclear warhead, maybe thermobaric warhead.
	You know, medium-range ballistic missile.
	Boom!
	That sector of London, gone.
	And it's Ukraine and it's the West, it's the U.S. and the U.K. that opened that up, that said, oh, we want to play tit-for-tat now.
	We got the tits, you got the tats.
	Let's exchange kinetics.
	And Russia's like, okay, let's play.
	Launch, launch, launch.
	You know, here we go.
	You want tits?
	We got tats.
	And then, of course, also, it's U.S. weapons that are being used primarily in Ukraine.
	It's not even U.K. weapons.
	It's mostly U.S. weapons, such as the HIMARS systems and the Patriot Air Defense Systems, whatever's left.
	I mean, Russia has destroyed almost everything that the U.S. has sent over there, but there's still some things left.
	So it's U.S. weapons.
	Well, Russia can just say, okay...
	So, we're playing this game.
	So, we have to bomb U.S. weapons manufacturing facilities in the continental United States.
	How do we do that?
	Well, intercontinental ballistic missiles, ICBMs, launch, launch, launch.
	And then, you know, poof!
	Well, there goes the city in Arizona, poof!
	There goes Colorado, poof!
	And what will members of Congress do then?
	They will say that we're the victims.
	Russia's war of aggression is expanding.
	They're now attacking us in our country.
	Well, you morons, you authorized the attack of Russia in their country.
	What did you think was going to happen?
	You gotta love how Blinken and others are like, Russia's unprovoked war of aggression.
	As if, just spontaneously, out of the blue, Putin decided that he wanted to go to war with NATO and Ukraine for no reason at all.
	It's like Netanyahu saying that for some reason, spontaneously, the whole world became anti-Semitic.
	Just out of the blue, we don't even know why.
	Suddenly, everybody hates Netanyahu.
	Yeah, as if Israel's mass killing of women and children in Gaza had nothing to do with the criticism of the Zionists.
	Wow.
	But this is a key tactic of the globalist deceivers.
	They try to erase the causes or erase their own complicity in whatever's going on.
	And they just want to pretend like, oh, it was unprovoked.
	We didn't do anything to Russia.
	Really?
	You didn't?
	You didn't break all the agreements that said you would never expand NATO eastward after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Minsk Accords, all the other agreements and treaties.
	You didn't violate any of that stuff?
	Oh, you're not supposed to know about that stuff.
	Where the US lied, NATO lied and deceived and kept expanding more missile bases to threaten Russia, basically surrounded Russia's western regions with a bunch of missile batteries.
	And then followed by a claim that Russia's actions were unprovoked.
	Unprovoked.
	Yeah, really.
	The bottom line here is that Blinken, who is, let's face it, he is a pathetic, spineless Secretary of State who has no business serving in any such position.
	I mean, he's got no experience.
	He's got no knowledge.
	He's got no backbone.
	Nobody listens to him internationally.
	They make fun of him when he goes to China or Saudi Arabia or whatever.
	They laugh at him.
	They mock him.
	They don't even have high-level diplomats meet him at the tarmac after his plane lands.
	They're just like, this guy's a total clown.
	No respect.
	But Blinken is carrying out or continuing the policies of Victoria Nuland, the priestess of death.
	Who is no longer with the federal government, but she's still spouting her fat mouth out there about how we should attack Russia, allow Ukraine to launch missiles deeper into Russia.
	So this is the Victoria Nuland policy that's being approved by Blinken.
	And this policy is an extension of the combined arrogance and ignorance of the West.
	Especially the U.S. Empire, which somehow thinks that it can still defeat Russia.
	Still thinks that Russia is some backward nation, a gas station with nukes, as they describe Russia.
	They still think that Russia has no capabilities to wage war somehow.
	They still think that Russia's economy is on the verge of collapse and that Western economic sanctions matter.
	They still think they can overthrow Putin with a CIA-led color revolution from inside Russia.
	So the Western leaders are delusional.
	They're living in a fantasy land.
	It's like geopolitical transgenderism.
	You know, the person says, well, he's a man pretending to be a woman.
	Well, the U.S. empire is a pathetic loser nation pretending to be the leader of the world.
	It's like, okay, transgender geopoliticism.
	But guess what?
	Men can't have babies and your pathetic collapsing empire actually can't rule the world, it turns out.
	And this is why these policies are so baffling to the Russians or the Chinese or anybody else in the world, the leaders of Turkey and so on.
	They're just baffled by this.
	It's like, what is wrong with these Western leaders?
	They're insane.
	They're not living in reality.
	They're not dealing with reality.
	They don't engage in negotiations at all.
	They don't engage in communications.
	You can't talk to them.
	All they do is run around threatening everybody.
	Like, do what we say or else.
	Or else what?
	Or else we bomb you.
	We sanction you.
	We assassinate you.
	We murder you.
	We kill you.
	We threaten you.
	Just like the 12 U.S. senators that are threatening the International Criminal Court and a bunch of senatorial thugs.
	Like, if you charge Netanyahu, we're going to target you and your families.
	It's in a letter.
	We're going to target your families.
	We're going to sanction you.
	You will regret it.
	Don't try it.
	Signed by Senator Ted Cruz and others.
	It's unbelievable.
	But this is the only thing the US knows is coercion and threats and violence.
	And that's why the US government acts the same way towards its own people domestically.
	The way that the federal government treats Americans is the same way the federal government treats other nations around the world.
	Just...
	Just bullying and coercion and threats non-stop.
	But the reason I mention all that is because this posture leads to escalation.
	This posture of the West, of being the world's bullies and using coercion and so on, this is not a posture that is conducive to de-escalation.
	It's not a posture of, hey, let's figure out some common ground, everybody, and see if we can all get along and maybe we can all benefit from, you know, trading with each other.
	You grow corn.
	We'll produce minerals.
	You have technology.
	We have medicine.
	Let's just trade and we all benefit.
	No.
	Nothing like that.
	It's like, you do what we say or we bomb you.
	We kill you.
	We sanction you.
	So as a result, Russia is reluctantly being dragged into the necessity of bombing Western countries.
	And this is all the design of the West.
	Remember that the West needs nuclear war with Russia.
	They need a bigger emergency, like I said earlier, to cancel the election, to declare a state of emergency domestically, to confiscate guns, cancel the First Amendment, cancel the Constitution.
	Just live under a military dictatorship, right?
	So they need Russia to start nuking Western targets.
	That's what all of this is designed to do.
	So far, we've been very fortunate that Putin has been very restrained.
	Putin is not a hothead, unlike Medvedev and some others in the Putin administration.
	You know, sometimes they're playing good cop, bad cop.
	Or Medvedev is the bad cop.
	He's like, we're going to nuke you!
	We're going to kill you!
	We're going to bomb your cities!
	And Putin's like...
	We will teach you a lesson on history.
	Everything's cool.
	Everything's more low-key with Putin, right?
	But eventually, even Putin's restraint is not going to be able to be sustained.
	At some point, as the provocations from the West get greater and greater, i.e., when Ukraine starts using long-range or longer-range U.S. weapons to start, let's say, bombing civilian airports in Russia, launching missiles into Moscow and just destroying residential buildings in Moscow, let's say, or hospitals in Moscow.
	There's going to be so much domestic pressure for retaliation that it's going to be increasingly difficult for Putin to be chill about this.
	He's going to have to escalate in his response, and that's exactly what the West wants.
	So the first time Putin launches a medium-range attack and hits, let's say, some cities in Poland, or military bases in Poland, more likely, ammo depots, things like that, Well then, NATO will say, oh my god, we're all under attack.
	Look, just like we warned.
	As soon as Ukraine falls, they're coming for us.
	We have to go to DEFCON 1.
	You know, red alert, launch nukes.
	That's exactly what the West wants.
	They want to be able to engineer this crisis.
	And probably they're going to succeed in that.
	Which probably means that, and I'm serious about this, there is a very high chance that we will be in a nuclear world war before election day, before November.
	I hope that's not the case.
	I hope cooler heads prevail.
	And frankly, if Putin will just absorb some strikes and not retaliate, I mean, I don't know if he's going to do that, but if he chooses to do that, that can prevent escalation into World War III. I don't know if he has enough political capital or even if that's what he wants to do, but if he has the discipline to do that, he can prevent the escalation.
	Now, the West will not be preventing the escalation.
	The West will try to provoke Russia in every way imaginable.
	Including, by the way, carrying out more domestic terrorism attacks inside Russia.
	Like the, what was that, the Crocus Theater terrorist attack that took place a few months back.
	That was probably coordinated by Western forces working through proxies.
	It was probably a CIA operation.
	We don't know for sure, but that seems to be what it was.
	Expect more of that to happen.
	And expect more long-range missiles to be sent to Ukraine.
	Now, I don't know how much ammo the West even has remaining in terms of any kind of missiles, HIMARS or otherwise.
	I don't know.
	And remember that HIMARS has different types of ammo that it can launch or different kinds of missiles.
	Some are shorter range and some are longer range.
	And so even though it's the same...
	Launch battery.
	It's different missiles, in essence, that have different ranges.
	So it could be that the U.S. has been holding back the longer range ammo, and now they're going to ship that over there and let Ukraine start hitting targets much deeper into Russia.
	Again, that's going to have catastrophic consequences for the West.
	And by the way, do not forget that there are leaders in Russia who said a few months ago, and I forgot...
	The names of the people who said this.
	But they said that they thought it would be a good idea to just nuke one city in Western Europe as a reminder.
	As a reminder to the West of what nuclear war is like.
	Just nuke one city.
	And like, this is a warning.
	Here, giant mushroom cloud.
	Check it out.
	See how this looks, because this is coming to all your cities if you don't stop with this provocation.
	Now, I doubt that's going to happen.
	You know, the international condemnation against Russia would be so loud.
	Even China would condemn it.
	By the way, China doesn't want to see global nuclear war.
	China wants the world to buy more stuff made in China.
	And if everybody's dead from fallout, then people can't buy more stuff made in China.
	So China actually wants the population of the world to continue to exist and also to become more wealthy so they can buy more stuff.
	So Russia is very unlikely to risk the wrath of China and the international condemnation by launching the first nuke.
	But if the West launches a nuke, Russia will retaliate with probably hundreds of nukes, if not a thousand plus.
	So if the West is dumb enough to try to provoke using nuclear artillery, let's say, sort of low-yield nuclear weapons that are sometimes called tactical nuclear weapons, what are their yields?
	Like in the two kiloton range, something like that, two to five kilotons, you know, a fraction of Hiroshima.
	But still very devastating to the local area.
	If the West decides to do that, then it's probably over for the West.
	So, remember, we are a nation, we America, we are a nation run by criminal psychopaths.
	They did not win the election in 2020.
	They do not have legitimate democratic power because they rigged the election.
	They're not qualified To be in their positions of power, not in the State Department, not Homeland Security, which is run by Mayorkas, who is a traitor to America, who's actually funding mass invasion of the United States of America.
	None of these people are qualified.
	None of them have positive intent.
	None of them are keeping the oaths that they swore to uphold.
	None of them are allies of America, and none of them are legitimate.
	So think about that.
	It's not even that the United States of America is at war with Russia.
	It's that this criminal cabal of imposters is at war with Russia.
	And that same cabal is at war with America.
	So we're all being attacked by the same thing.
	It's the same criminal entity that is at war with the world.
	So keep that in mind and prepare accordingly.
	You're going to need to be well prepared for the possibility of nuclear war, financial collapse, rigged elections, and so much more.
	So stay informed.
	Keep watching my interviews and listening to my broadcast daily at brighteon.com.
	Check out our articles at naturalnews.com.
	Use our decentralized nuclear war resilient platform.
	A social media network that runs on blockchain and doesn't have central servers at all.
	That's called brighteon.io.
	And download our AI language models, and we have new ones coming, at brighteon.ai.
	And then our hosted social media site is brighteon.social, which does have central servers, and it's a very thriving community.
	And of course, you can support us by visiting our online store, healthrangerstore.com.
	And every purchase there helps support our efforts to build the infrastructure of human freedom so that you can navigate and survive the world war that has already begun.
	Thank you for listening.
	God bless you all.
	Take care.
	Alright, hope you enjoyed that report.
	Now, we're going to go to a second report.
	It's kind of a teaser where I'm announcing...
	The fact that this coming Monday on Memorial Day we're going to have an historic announcement.
	And it's not an exaggeration.
	We have something game changing for our world.
	And it's not an AI language model, by the way, that's totally different.
	This is something probably unexpected.
	But I've got a teaser about that and a little bit about our mission and why we're building the infrastructure of human freedom and why we do what we do.
	We're fighting for humanity.
	And we're reinvesting revenues into these infrastructure projects to give you free tools that you can use to enhance your humanity and protect your liberty.
	So give this announcement a listen, and then we'll be back on the other side with the interview with Gerald Salenti.
	I want to wish everybody a very happy, rewarding Memorial Day weekend and alert you to the fact that we have some earth-shattering news to share with you on Monday, Memorial Day.
	So you will definitely want to tune in.
	This is historic, not an exaggeration.
	Game-changing news that we'll be presenting on Monday with an exclusive interview.
	And this is going to make you smile because...
	What we are doing will impact your liberty and freedom in such a positive way, and this is changing the course of history for our country.
	So it is a big deal, and I'm sorry I can't tell you more yet, not until the full release is done.
	But it's coming on Monday.
	You'll definitely want to stay tuned.
	Now along those lines, I do want to mention that one of the reasons that we have been targeted for such censorship and blacklisting by big tech over the years is because they saw what we were capable of achieving.
	They saw that we would change the course of human history together with your support, our organization, our understanding of technology.
	And you can see that reflected today in our AI project, for example, at Brighteon.ai, the fact that we built and maintained successful platforms like Brighteon.com, Brighteon.io, and so on, also Brighteon.social.
	And the fact that we built our own content system for naturalnews.com, a content system that has never been hacked because it doesn't run active code.
	There's nothing to hack, which is why it's never been hacked.
	But we have some major achievements that are changing the landscape, and because of our efforts and your support and your participation in our platforms, together we have been able to stall The global tyranny engineered scheme, let's call it.
	The big plan of tyranny that was supposed to be rolled out more successfully has been stalled because of you and us and others in the space of alternative media.
	But we have spearheaded more technology than anybody else in this space.
	And as a result, we are demonstrating to the globalists and the deep state that they can't stop us.
	They've tried so desperately.
	You know, with all the censorship and the debanking and the financial blacklisting and everything that you can imagine, all kinds of, you know, horrible attacks.
	But they failed.
	We are still here.
	Not only that, but we are innovating And in many ways, we're bypassing big tech itself.
	For example, our new AI project is already more accurate at answering questions than ChatGPT or Google's AI or Facebook's AI. We've already surpassed multi-billion dollar companies with our little AI project upon which we've spent less than a million dollars, by the way.
	I mean, it's really remarkable.
	And that's the kind of thing that the powers that be, they saw that we were capable of doing this.
	They saw it years ago.
	This is why I was censored first.
	I was censored beginning in, actually, elements of it in 2014.
	And it really accelerated in 2015.
	And I was blacklisted off of YouTube even before Alex Jones was.
	Because they knew what we were capable of achieving.
	I don't know if they had a crystal ball.
	They could see the future.
	They're just guessing.
	I don't know.
	But they saw that we were going to change the world, make the world more free, and provide tools for human freedom.
	And frankly, their efforts to try to stop us have all backfired.
	If anything, it's made us stronger.
	It has made us more determined to pursue this goal, which is building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	We are doing more now than ever before.
	And we're more effective than ever before.
	And what's about to happen, beginning next Monday, Memorial Day, is going to change the world in such a positive way for human freedom and getting the truth out that this will cause the deep state to completely flip out.
	So stay tuned in on Monday morning, Memorial Day.
	Check my channel on Brighteon.com.
	We have some, again, earth-shattering, game-changing, historic news to share with you there.
	And in the meantime, if you have spare time over this weekend, well, I don't know anybody who has spare time, but you can put it on your list of things to do.
	Check out Brighteon.io.
	Sign up there.
	Use it.
	Learn how to post a message.
	The longer you exist on Brighttown.io, the more reputation your account has, and the more you post and interact with other people's posts, the more you earn both reputation points.
	And the crypto coin that is part of that ecosystem, which is called P-Coin, Pocket Coin, which is very effectively integrated into the platform.
	P-Coin can be used to boost posts or to advertise on the platform, but you also earn P-Coin by interacting with posts And by posting content yourself that other people interact with.
	So it's kind of like a reputation system represented in a Pcoin, in a coin.
	And Pcoin's modeled after Bitcoin.
	So it's just kind of like a private Bitcoin.
	And it avoids robots and trolls from just mass spamming the platform.
	And so when you first sign up there, you're not even allowed to post more than a certain number of posts per day.
	You're not allowed to post videos at all at first.
	You have to kind of earn your way to be able to post content, but that keeps the platform free from robots and trolls, or mostly free from trolls.
	So check that out, brightown.io.
	And the reason you want to use that, download the application, by the way.
	That's at brightown.io slash applications.
	And if you're using the app, which looks just like a browser, if you're using the app...
	Oh, and don't be afraid of Microsoft or Apple or Google warns you like, oh, this app might have malicious code.
	It might steal your life.
	They put those warnings on it to try to prevent you from installing it.
	It's a fabricated warning.
	Totally safe to install.
	But that app...
	It runs the peer-to-peer data sharing, the packets, to make your system part of a peer-to-peer node, which handles all the traffic.
	And when you're running the app, you don't even need domain names to work.
	So even if the government turns off the internet, and they throw the internet kill switch, as it's called, and they block people from visiting...
	Websites, or maybe they only allow certain sites, you can go to Google and that's it.
	But if you're running Brighttown.io with the app, it will still work even when domain names don't work.
	It doesn't need domain names to function because it's peer-to-peer traffic.
	So it's actually a really good idea to install this and use it because it is our emergency backup comms system, by the way.
	This is what we will use when the internet kill switch is activated.
	And you'll be able to get our emergency messages that way, which will be very valuable to you, especially in the middle of a...
	Military dictatorship, censorship collapse, cancellation of the elections, the launch of World War III, or whatever is happening at the time.
	You'll be able to get our messages as long as there's some kind of connection to the internet.
	That's cool.
	So that's brighteon.io.
	The other thing you want to do, perhaps this weekend, is download our free AI language models at brighteon.ai.
	And we have three models already released, maybe four, but we're releasing even way better models that are coming soon.
	Now, the thing about these models, they're chatbots.
	You run them locally, but they're more than chatbots.
	They're actually kind of a Noah's Ark of human knowledge.
	We are training them with actual terabytes of data, of knowledge about herbs and nutrition, natural medicine, off-grid living, survival and prepping.
	Asset protection, gold and silver, finances, you know, everything you can think of that matters.
	We're not training it on sports history and celebrity news.
	No, none of that garbage.
	We're training it on things that matter.
	So you'll be able to download those models.
	Actually, you could do it right now.
	You download the models, run them locally on your own computers.
	They work on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and there's different software packages that you install in order to run these.
	We've got instructions on the site.
	Just look for tutorials there.
	And then you can have an offline local...
	It's a knowledge-based system that you can chat with.
	It can write things for you.
	It's a generative AI system, and it can write text.
	It can correct text.
	It can brainstorm with you.
	You can ask it to list ideas on the following topics, and it'll give you a bunch of ideas.
	It can do all kinds of amazing things, and it's free.
	It's non-commercial.
	You download it and run it locally, and it works even when the Internet is offline.
	So if you're in a nuclear war or whatever, and suddenly you have to grow your own food and you have survival questions like, oh my gosh, how do I extract medicine from these herbs?
	What are natural antibiotics that I could get from plants?
	You can ask this system those kinds of questions offline.
	No cloud computing necessary.
	No internet connection necessary.
	And it also means that nobody's spying on your questions.
	So you can ask it personal health questions if you want.
	Questions about symptoms or diseases or, you know, whatever.
	Embarrassing questions.
	Oh, I have this crazy symptom.
	Could it be a sexually transmitted disease?
	Hey, I don't want to know about it.
	You can ask it privately.
	Nobody's monitoring you.
	So, all kinds of things that it's useful for.
	That's available free of charge at brighteon.ai.
	And of course, join our brighteon.social platform, which is hosted with central servers, so it could be taken down in a war, let's say.

	All right, now we're going to jump into the interview with Gerald Salenti, who is the publisher of Trends Journal.
	And Gerald, you know, what can you say?
	The guy is, I mean, he's a living legend.
	And he's loved by so many people.
	He's outspoken, but courageous.
	And he cares deeply about America.
	He grew up in the Bronx.
	He loves jazz music.
	He loves art and culture.
	And he's a pro-liberty guy.
	He's not afraid to tell it like it is.
	And he cares about human beings.
	He actually launched the Occupy Peace movement over a decade ago.
	He believes in peace as a foundational principle.
	Of what he advocates and what he defends.
	And I'm with him on that, by the way.
	I'm an advocate for peace.
	I guess you could say I'm a peacenik these days, which I think used to be kind of a slur against left-wing commies.
	Of course, I'm no commie, but maybe somebody would call me a peacenik.
	I don't know.
	I just support peace.
	I also support liberty.
	I support the Constitution.
	I support fundamental human rights, freedom of speech, and so on.
	But peace.
	We've got to have peace.
	These wars have got to end.
	Anyway, Gerald Salenti is an amazing American.
	He's just someone who, time and time again, always impresses me with his knowledge, with his compassion.

	Welcome to today's interview on brighteon.com.
	And today we have one of my favorite people, Gerald Salenti from Trends Journal joins us.
	And of course, he is the man when it comes to analyzing the geopolitical and financial situation in America and the world and helping people navigate all of that with their assets intact through his publication, Trends Journal, which we'll talk about in a minute.
	Welcome to the show, Gerald.
	It's always an honor to have you on.
	Oh, and it's always an honor to be on with you.
	All the great work that you've been doing over the years and how you stand up for the rights of people and life, liberty, and a word that you're not allowed to say anymore, the pursuit of happiness.
	Happiness has become a dirty word, you know, so thank you.
	You know, I'm a real jazz fan, and you go back to the Great Depression.
	The Great Depression, it's swing time.
	It's, again, happy days are here again, you know?
	On the sunny side of the street.
	Even how bad it was, the Great Depression, the vibe, the style, the grace, was really, really high.
	And now it's just one big crap show.
	Yeah, yeah, I see that.
	With just the collapsing cities in America, I was looking at this and realizing that America, at least in the blue cities for sure, is about to become a third-world nation, kind of like a Haiti collapse scenario.
	And then recently I've interviewed several people who live in Russia, and they tell me the cities are clean, they're safe.
	One of them has a 15-year-old niece who walks home at night in the middle of St.
	Petersburg.
	There's no risk.
	I'm like, whoa, you wouldn't do that in America.
	Not a chance.
	It's crazy.
	I'm born at the perfect time and in the perfect place.
	1946.
	Right after World War II, the spirit is at the height.
	And I'm born in the Bronx.
	Born to be free.
	We're kids.
	I'm going outside like, you know, 7 o'clock in the morning, playing in the streets, you know?
	And I'm a little kid.
	And we used to play in the streets.
	Their parents never, never worried about where we were going and what we were doing.
	And now you go take the subway, walk down the street in New York, get stabbed, get hit in the head.
	It's all there.
	The subways are a night in Calcutta.
	The whole country's gone down the crapper.
	Because the reason why is we have a bunch of crap heads running our country.
	So then the extension of that is going to be eventually...
	A debt collapse.
	Talk to us about, you know, as you put together the Trends Journal, you have your finger on the pulse of what's happening with money printing, global de-dollarization, the rise of bricks, and so on.
	What are you seeing, since we spoke last, about a month ago, what are you seeing new that sets off alarm bells?
	That the mainstream media is now admitting to the debt level, and you have the The people like Dalio and Jamie Dimon coming out and saying how bad this is and how much worse it could get.
	The reality is hitting the street.
	So here's the story.
	As we're speaking today, the Dow is down over 600 points.
	Gold took a hit.
	It's down 100 bucks from its high.
	But it's still, you know, in the very high range, it's up, you know, what, about 14%, 15% since the start of the year.
	So it's still doing very, very well, and it's just the beginning of it.
	And again, one of our top trends was a golden year for gold.
	And again, gold is up now well over $300 an ounce since we made that forecast.
	So the reality is that you're seeing the central banks buying up gold at record levels because they know how bad the situation is.
	So as the economy, and again, they're even now talking about, quote, stagflation.
	It's not going to be stagflation.
	It's going to be dragflation.
	The economies are going to go down and inflation is going to keep staying higher.
	So what's going to happen, again, putting all the trends together that nobody's talking about, but again, one of our top trends for 2024, is the banks are going to go bust.
	The value of commercial real estate has fallen 20% this year.
	Wow.
	And that's just the beginning.
	Yes.
	Barely reported.
	You're talking about the problems going on in people living in these different cities.
	How about San Francisco?
	Yeah, I left my heart in San Francisco.
	You sure did.
	You have, again, not my numbers, the factual numbers, your office vacancy rate, meaning nobody in them, over 36% vacant.
	Your office vacancy rate in New York City, 23%.
	That's extraordinary.
	And so, isn't it all these medium-sized banks also have exposure to these commercial real estate loans, right?
	Large, medium, and small.
	Mostly medium and small.
	Wow.
	And the large ones do, too.
	Let's go back to about a year ago, a little over a year ago.
	The Silicon Con Man Valley Bank went bust.
	First Republic's signature, they went out.
	Look what happened to the equity markets when three banks went bust and where gold prices spiked.
	Now you're looking at, at the lowest level, and this is Fed numbers, 30 banks.
	30 banks are in danger because of the defaults on the loans in commercial office buildings.
	Your office vacancy, occupancy rate, meaning people going back to work.
	Again, not my numbers.
	You can look them up.
	Castle Systems with a K. 51%.
	So now you've got people working from home.
	They don't want to commute an hour and a half each way.
	The guy that has a firm that has 10 floors of a building, the people are in cubicles anyway.
	You don't see them.
	Yeah, stay home.
	I don't need all this space.
	You're going to be seeing one default after another.
	Now let's go back and put it all together.
	The COVID war caused this.
	When those slimy little boys, like the arrogant, arrogant clown boy, Gavin Grusome Newsome.
	Oh, don't you know who my daddy was?
	My daddy worked for the Getty Gang.
	He was a lawyer.
	Don't you know who I am?
	I'm a nobody with a bad attitude that'll tell you what to do.
	Close down your business.
	Get back in your house.
	You can't go out to the beach.
	Well, I'm dining at the French Laundry at $100 a plate.
	Excuse me, $400.
	They destroyed the office building real estate and REITs.
	Now let's go back before that little piece of crap that I call it to his face did this.
	You know what your office vacancy rate in San Francisco was?
	No.
	3.5% in 2019.
	Now it's over 36%.
	Wow.
	Well, didn't Newsom just say recently that they desperately have to cut government expenditures because they're now facing a massive deficit?
	And also, all the earners are fleeing California.
	If you earn money, if you produce something, why would you stay there and get taxed to death?
	Again, now the damage is gone.
	And now let's go back.
	The banks, to fight the COVID war, they pumped in countless trillions of dollars of fake money backed by nothing and printed on nothing, put interest rates down to zero.
	Now let's go back to the banks going bust.
	What did they do when all that money flooded into the banks during the beginning of the COVID war?
	They bought treasuries, right?
	Right.
	And what were interest rates at zero?
	Yep.
	Yep.
	So now they don't have the money to make the payments on the defaults on these buildings.
	And there's going to be one after another.
	The mainstream media is not reporting on this.
	Now the numbers, again, at least 30 banks are in trouble according to the feds.
	Other numbers I've seen are almost 300, 282.
	It seems like this is also part of a plan to have the JP Morgans consolidate and gobble up all these smaller banks so we end up with, you know, six or seven government-controlled, globalist-run banks that control all the gateways, all the on-ramps and off-ramps, and probably then cooperate with a CBDC of some kind.
	Is that where you think this is headed?
	Oh, it's definitely going to be headed.
	And again, you know, you keep going back.
	You know, you had these slimeball politicians, Jimmy Carter, making...
	There was no interstate banking.
	It was intrastate.
	The Bank of America was in California.
	And again, you're talking about the big banks getting bigger.
	Then what happened during the financial crisis brought to you by the bankster bandits.
	Hey, you don't have a job.
	You're deep in debt.
	Don't worry about it.
	Sign over here.
	You got a subprime mortgage.
	Remember that one?
	Yeah, right.
	$29 trillion the Federal Reserve dumped into the big bankster bandits to bail them out as the other banks went down.
	So now what you're saying is 100% true, but it's even at a bigger level than that when you look at this week's Trends Journal.
	We are nothing more than the plantation workers of Slavelandia.
	It's Robert Barron's 2.0.
	When I was a young guy, there were no hedge funds.
	There were no private equity groups.
	There were no venture capitalists that owned everything.
	Again, they did away with the antitrust laws.
	There were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores.
	Now they're all chains.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And everybody saw Red Lobster just declared bankruptcy, shutting down nationwide, and there's a lot more of that going on.
	So there's going to be even more excess commercial real estate, commercial buildings that are vacant.
	Yes.
	Real quickly, before we go on, TrendsJournal.com is the website, and I understand you have extended a discount code to our audience.
	The discount code is Ranger, I believe.
	How much is the discount on the subscription?
	At 10%.
	It's the grand total of subscribing to the magazine through you would cost them $2.50 a week.
	Ha ha ha!
	That's like a rounding error.
	I mean, that's nothing.
	We cover the world.
	Again, I'm not bragging.
	If anybody could show us a magazine that gives you geopolitical and socioeconomic trends analysis and trend forecasts like us, let me see it.
	Nothing exists.
	The Wall Street Journal, I now call the Wall Shit Journal.
	The New York Times, they call it the toilet paper of record.
	They call it the paper record.
	I've got to read this stuff.
	I'm looking to the Wall Street Journal for financial data.
	I need data.
	It hardly exists anymore.
	I just told my assistant before I went on the air, I said, you know, from today's Wall Street Journal, we only got two trend-worthy stories.
	And the New York Times today didn't get one.
	Wow.
	Because journalism is dead.
	They killed it.
	And so what we're doing is we're giving the people what they need to know and what the world is going on.
	And the motto is, think for yourself.
	You know, we give you our trend analysis and forecast, but you do what you want.
	But journalism is dead.
	And again, for example, the Israel war going on.
	We subscribe, pay money to go to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper.
	Don't have to pay to it, but we go to the Times of Israel and Jerusalem Post.
	I want to know what's going on coming from them.
	We got to know.
	But we also go to IRNA, ISNA, Tehran Times.
	We want to know what they're saying in Iran.
	We go all over the world.
	We go to Al Jazeera.
	We go to all the world's tasks.
	We go everywhere.
	We want to hear what they're all saying.
	So then we give you our trend analysis and trend forecast.
	It's not skewed.
	But the American media has gone down.
	It's heartbreaking.
	It's heartbreaking to see what's happened.
	Yeah, in fact, I have to ask for your reaction.
	Did you see that Netanyahu said that charging me with an arrest warrant would be like issuing an arrest warrant for George Bush over 9-11?
	Did you see that?
	And my answer was like, yes!
	You got it.
	Yeah.
	Can we have two for one, you know?
	Yeah, again, the guy that lied us into the Iraq War.
	Exactly.
	Yeah.
	And again, you know, one of my friends, you know, I launched the movement Occupy Peace over a decade ago.
	And one of my speakers at a recent rally was Phil Giraldi.
	Oh, great.
	Yes.
	And, you know, Phil Giraldi was a former top, top CIA guy that goes into George Bush's office, shows him the papers and said, Mr.
	President, there are no weapons of mass destruction.
	In Iraq.
	Bush told Giraldi to leave.
	And Giraldi, being the real man that he is, quit.
	Wow, he wasn't willing to participate in the lie.
	No.
	So, yeah, Netanyahu, he's a murderous little bastard, you know.
	I mean, my God.
	You know, people have no clue what's going on, you know.
	But that's...
	No, I agree with you, but that's the importance of your publication.
	Let me just ask one more clarifying question.
	So when people subscribe, then they get it once a week electronically, correct?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	And then do you have a way that people can access back issues?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	They get all the back issues.
	We go way back.
	So if they subscribe today, they get access to all the back issues?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And again, it's a weekly.
	This week was over 200 pages.
	Wow.
	And no ads.
	Nobody tells us what to do.
	And, again, people, I can't read too much.
	You read what you want.
	It's a magazine.
	You want to read about what's going on in geopolitics.
	You want to know what's going on in high-tech science.
	You want to know what's going on in AI. You want to know what's going on in technocracy.
	Matter of fact, one of the guys, the top guy who writes our technocracy, Joe Duran, he just came out with a new book, The Synthetic Devolution.
	Oh, wow.
	So, I mean, we're on top of everything.
	And so we're giving them all we can give them because this is...
	I've been at this for 44 years.
	These are the most dangerous times in my life.
	I'm heartbroken.
	I'm heartbroken to see the decline of civilization in front of my eyes.
	Well, that's exactly where I find myself as well.
	I mean, the America that you knew and that I knew as we were growing up, it's gone.
	Because I remember as a child, you always felt you had a sense of optimism about the future.
	You thought that there were adults in charge of the future and that they had the best interests of America in mind and that things would just get better and better.
	That's gone.
	And you know who's thinking that right now, that things are going to get better and better?
	It's the BRICS nations.
	Yep.
	I mean, talk to us about BRICS, what you know about the timetable, how long is it going to take for them to roll that out?
	I mean, we saw Putin announcing that in trade with China, they're now 90% national currencies, not dollar currencies.
	So that's huge.
	But a lot of that is even going to go over to BRICS currencies at some point.
	What...
	What do you know about the timeline?
	The timeline is a tough one to come out with the exact numbers, but here's how it goes.
	There's going to be a point, regardless of what they're saying, that they're going to lower interest rates in the run-up to the presidential reality show, because that's all it is.
	It's a freak show.
	They do it all the time in the run-up to the election to boost the economy up.
	And when Interest rates go down.
	The dollar is going to go down.
	The dollar is only strong because of the high interest rates.
	They're lowering interest rates mostly around the world.
	They're doing it because the economies are slowing down and they've got to lower the interest rates.
	The United States, they're a member of the team.
	They're not going to keep the interest rates high because as these other countries are lowering their interest rates...
	And the dollar is going to keep getting stronger.
	It's going to cost them more to buy commodities because many commodities are dollar-based.
	So the United States is going to lower interest rates.
	When the United States lowers interest rates, the dollar goes down.
	Oh, and gold prices go up because it's cheaper to buy gold because your currency value went up.
	It's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar.
	Now what's going on too, because you put the big picture together, is all the sanctions, again, like them, dislike them.
	Again, we don't take positions on what we like or dislike.
	We say what it is.
	The sanctions that America is putting on China, the trade war.
	Look what happened when the United States...
	And its allies put all those sanctions on Russia when the Ukraine war began in February of 2022.
	Inflation skyrocketed.
	Companies pulled out of Russia left and right.
	And Biden said Putin's going to pay the price.
	As we used to say in the Bronx, bullshit has its own sound.
	They didn't pay the price.
	We said Russia is going to become more self-sufficient.
	They don't need all these foreign companies in there.
	The people will take over because Russia has most of the human and natural resources they need to be self-sufficient.
	That's right.
	And the sanctions forced Russian capital to be reinvested in Russia, which has actually then flourished to the point where Russia is leading in military output, industrial output, investment domestically, and it's stronger than ever.
	Yeah, the GDP went way up.
	Yeah.
	Now, the same thing is going to happen with China.
	I mean, you don't have to be good at math to figure this out.
	They got 1.4 billion people.
	So if the 1.4 billion people are buying made in China, the corporations, the businesses, the manufacturers are going to do very well.
	And I would add to that, Gerald, if you don't mind me interrupting, but China also, the Chinese people, and remember for our audience, I'm married to a Taiwanese woman, ethnically Chinese, and I speak Mandarin, and I lived in Taiwan.
	The Chinese people are very intelligent and capable engineers, scientists.
	And right now, when you look at the Chinese educational system, and I'm not endorsing the policies of communism or the government or anything like that, but I'm just saying, in terms of the hard sciences, they're graduating like an order of magnitude, more scientists and physicists and engineers than is the West.
	I mean, who's going to build tomorrow's electronics and bridges and aerospace innovations?
	It's going to be the Chinese and the Russians.
	Yep.
	And again, look, as you said, the Russians, you know, their military operations, you know, they're going to keep expanding as America keeps going down.
	China's naval forces, you know, bigger than America's.
	Oh, they're huge.
	And then going back to what you're saying, look at the idiocy in this country with the school system.
	It's a joke.
	It's a bad joke.
	Again, look at the numbers coming out about all the college grads that can't get jobs.
	As a matter of fact, the major story keeps coming out over and over again.
	They're having trouble.
	Again, the immigration issue.
	You're letting the immigrants come in because America only has low-paying jobs.
	So when they're saying that the job numbers are going up, where are the jobs being created?
	Are they being created in the service sector, in health services?
	They pay very low money.
	Go to all of the chains and they have signs on the doors, help wanted, help wanted.
	Because this is better than the plantation system where you had to house and feed them.
	All you got to do is give them enough money to get the hell out of here and come back tomorrow.
	You know, so this this is what's going on.
	So the jobs being created are very low paying.
	And China and, you know, Russia.
	People should go back and listen to John F. Kennedy's speech.
	In June of 1963.
	At American University.
	Again, this is June.
	July, August, September, October, November.
	Jack, you're dead.
	Right?
	It's all about peace.
	And he said, we should not hate the people in the Soviet Union.
	More of them suffered during World War II than any other nation.
	He said...
	Their factories, their farms, their homes were destroyed.
	The equivalent of Chicago East.
	He said no nation suffered more than they did.
	He said these are very fine people.
	They're intellectually, scientifically, culturally advanced.
	He also said that if we go to a nuclear war with them, this is 1963...
	That life on earth will be destroyed in 24 hours.
	He said over 20 million Russians were killed.
	The number is now over 25 million.
	Going back.
	These are very advanced people.
	Going back to the BRICS. China.
	India.
	Russia.
	Brazil and all the other ones coming in.
	They're going to be as self-sufficient as they can and do trade with what they need.
	Not for the best price, but for what they don't have.
	And that's what's different.
	And that's what you're going to see more and more self-sufficient countries And Bricks Uniting, which is going to bring down the United States and Europe.
	Europe is, by the way, they're opposed to the sanctions that the United States is putting on China because they need to do business in China.
	You would think that Germany would have realized this.
	Many years ago, that if they allow their, quote, ally, the United States, to dictate policy and destroy the Nord Stream pipelines, that Germany's future is gone.
	I mean, Germany's going to collapse into mostly an agricultural country.
	I mean, that's underway.
	their way.
	But you hit upon something really important there, Gerald, and that is how these other nations, many of these nations, such as Russia, India, China, and so on, there's a culture of being able to endure suffering and yet being able to survive with a sense of resilience and local there's a culture of being able to endure suffering and yet being Now you know, you grew up in the Bronx, you know, like as a child, when you saw the rich kids in the city,
	Well, they might have been rich, but they didn't have street skills.
	They didn't know how to survive or what to do, right?
	But they had daddy's money, right?
	That happens on an international scale.
	And I recently interviewed Russian author Dmitry Orlov, who writes about the five stages of collapse.
	And he studies the comparisons between the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and where America is headed today.
	And he says the most important red flag difference is that the former Soviets knew how to suffer and survive.
	Today's Americans, they don't know how to do anything because everything's been too convenient, too cheap.
	The money's been cheap.
	The debt's been cheap.
	The products have been cheap because we export inflation and import products.
	So the American people, by and large, except for the people watching this show or preppers, American people aren't ready for what's coming, are they?
	No.
	America's manufacturing.
	It's only 11% of our gross domestic product.
	Consumption is almost 70%.
	I mean, it's ridiculous.
	Once upon a time, there were factories, you know, all over where I am up in Kingston, New York, and all over.
	There were factories that used to make things.
	No more.
	And he thanked slimeball Bill Clinton who gave us NATO and brought China into the World Trade Organization.
	And starting with Henry May Rottenhill Kissinger.
	When he went to China and started opening up, they wanted cheap labor so they could make more money.
	End of story.
	But there's good news out of your journal.
	I want to refocus this because it's easy for you and I to talk about what's happening, like what's coming.
	We can see it clearly.
	But for those watching, I want them to receive a very clear message that you don't have to lose all your assets as this happens.
	There is a method of navigating this with knowledge and with strategy.
	And that's where the Trends Journal comes in.
	TrendsJournal.com.

	It helps support Gerald Salenti's operation as well as this platform, by the way.
	But save 10% with discount code RANGER. But Gerald, talk about...
	Just give us a hint of the sense of optimism.
	What tools are available for people to be able to survive this?
	First of all...
	The most important thing is for people to get in the best shape they can.
	Physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
	And you have to be there.
	You have to be a fighter for yourself.
	You have to be in the best shape you can.
	When you're in that kind of spirit, your mind goes in different ways.
	And you can't stop learning.
	I have to tell you, I've never worked harder in my life.
	I mean it.
	I've never worked harder in my life because so much is going on.
	You know, people say to me, oh, how tan you are.
	You go on vacation?
	No.
	I sit outside.
	I've got to read all this stuff.
	So I sit out in the sun to read.
	I read over six hours a day looking for information.
	So then what we also do in the magazine, in the Trends Journal, is we give them on-trendpreneur opportunities.
	This is what's going on.
	This is where we see it going.
	And this is an opportunity, an on-trend opportunity that you might want to seize.
	And I'm going to tell you one of them.
	And you're starting to see it even with companies starting to do this in the consumer section.
	Telling people to get off their cell phones, you know, become yourself, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	It's time for a renaissance.
	It's time to lift the spirit.
	Start selling style, grace, culture.
	You know, you go into a restaurant.
	It's costing you a lot of dough.
	And I'm hearing the music in the background that I can hardly talk to the people I'm with.
	The same stupid rap sound of no instrumentation or style.
	Now imagine if you were in there and you heard beautiful, you know, like jazz from the old days, like a, you know, Lester Young in the background, a Coleman Hall, playing really nice stuff at the Count Basie, the Duke Ellington, making you feel nice as you're eating and lifting up the spirit.
	What I'm saying is to lift up the spirit at every level.
	Get into the business of lifting up the spirit.
	If you're going to open a business, lift the spirit up.
	Bring it to a higher level in every way that you can.
	The people want it.
	Once upon a time, there was a black plague.
	Over 60% of Europe got wiped out.
	What brought it back?
	The Renaissance.
	In the manner of the Romans and the ancients, they said in Italy to describe the quality of their work.
	We have to bring back that quality.
	Go back.
	It's not ancient history.
	Art Deco in the 1930s and late 20s.
	The beauty of the Chrysler buildings.
	And now it's a piece of glass and steel crap.
	What you're talking about are the timeless properties of human inspiration, the arts, the expression of humanity, and it's lost in our society today.
	You have a blue-haired, overweight lesbian with a nose ring lecturing you on why your child needs to be...
	Have their genitalia mutilated.
	And you're like, what culture is this?
	This is not my culture.
	That's, you know, that's for sure.
	And then, you know, even we were talking about red lobster.
	All you can eat is shrimp.
	That's the offer.
	It's like, come in and engorge yourself because America's not fat enough yet.
	If you want to go out of business, offer all you can eat in a country of obesity.
	Red lobster, just figure that out.
	I'm not trying to insult people who have a weight problem.
	I'm just saying that this is the culture that it has become.
	I know.
	I have one of my books.
	Here it is.
	It was called What Zizzy Gave Honey Boy.
	Zizzy's a Neapolitan dialect for auntie.
	It's about growing up in the Bronx and what it used to be like.
	And matter of fact, they did a movie on it, Zizzy and Honey Boy.
	And Doris Roberts, the woman that played the mother of Everyone Loves Raymond, played my aunt.
	But Doris Roberts died 15 minutes into the movie.
	You could see it.
	You could get on YouTube.
	But anyway, look at this photo.
	If you could see that.
	It's hard to make it out from here.
	You can see that?
	Not really.
	No?
	No.
	Anyway, it's my parents' wedding.
	1934.
	Wow.
	Everybody dressed elegantly, looking elegant.
	My father, may they all rest in peace, he worked in a fish store.
	My uncles worked as laborers.
	My aunts worked in factories.
	Everybody was...
	Elegant.
	Again, you go back to the 1930s.
	Look at the style of the people.
	The Great Depression.
	And the style is high.
	And now you said you got these blimpitis with the pink and blue hair with nose rings and tattooed.
	You know, there used to be a thing called the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
	It went out of business.
	You don't have to pay to see the fat man or the tattooed lady anymore.
	They're everywhere.
	It's a freak show on every sidewalk in every American city.
	Yeah.
	So true.
	So true.
	But from a big picture perspective, in terms of history, because you were talking about the history of culture and human inspiration and expression, I believe that what the West has become It's just a blip in history.
	You got it.
	Because we're going to return, ultimately, after the collapse of this system, we're going to return the survivors to what makes us human and what creates inspiration and innovation.
	Yes and no.
	The no is my concern today.
	World War III has already begun.
	That's true.
	There's going to be a false flag event that's going to, quote, make it official.
	One of my sayings is, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	Again, what followed the Great Depression?
	World War II. What followed the dot-com bust?
	The War on Terror.
	What followed...
	People don't know anything about the 39 weeks of protests in Israel that Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel, called a civil war.
	You could look it up.
	I remember that.
	What happened?
	Hamas.
	And again, matter of fact, data just came out today that the IDF warned Netanyahu it was going to happen.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	That's right.
	Biden's going to take us to war.
	Well, in fact, I need to ask you, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Anthony Blinken just said last night or yesterday in a congressional testimony event that Ukraine is, in essence, granted permission to use the longer-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russia.
	I mean, that's provocation.
	That's an escalation engineering event.
	Again, America's at war.
	If I said to you, Mike, I need a hand grenade.
	I want to Throw it at the guy next door.
	You gave it to me.
	You're an accessory to the crime.
	We're supplying the weapons of death.
	America's accessory to the crime.
	Oh, but look what just happened with that, as we say in Italian, Janet Yellen.
	That means, you know, you can look it up.
	We're the same age.
	Thank God I don't look like her.
	She came out against China, as others have, for supplying Supplying Russia with what they need to keep fighting this war.
	It's okay for the United States to supply it and Europe, but not China to help Russia.
	I mean the mentality of this.
	So World War III is going to be something that's going to have a nuclear exchange.
	And again, look up the Samson option, everyone listening.
	Right?
	Israel is going to lose this war.
	And they say the Samson option, if they lose the war, they're going nuclear.
	They have between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads.
	Illegal, by the way, but hey, they could have them.
	But Iran can't or anybody else, you know.
	Because it says in the good book, chapter 6, section 8, that they're the chosen people.
	I forgot.
	I don't want to hear this crap.
	But don't forget that one of the lawmakers in Iran recently said that Iran also has nuclear weapons.
	They just don't talk about it publicly.
	Yep.
	Or that they have the capability to rapidly assemble the nuclear weapons.
	So, in other words, they have the nuclear weapon components in a bunker somewhere.
	On this side of the room is all the nuclear material.
	On that side is all the kinetic explosives.
	And then there's electronics.
	And all they've got to do is put them together, which takes a few hours.
	And that way they can publicly say, well, we don't have nuclear weapons.
	But actually they do.
	They have them, you know, five hours later if they want them.
	The point is, you're absolutely right, Gerald, that...
	Israel is losing this war.
	In fact, I would argue that Israel is losing against Hamas, which is really saying something, by the way, because they haven't defeated Hamas.
	And Israel's losing all its armor, and Israel's...
	I mean, I didn't mean to make this about Israel, but the IDF, those are hyper-privileged, weak soldiers compared to what...
	Americans used to be in World War II. Think about all the New York soldiers in World War II. They were real men compared to what even the IDF is today or the U.S. military or the German military is today.
	And so Hamas is beating them.
	Israel's not going to win this war.
	They're going to end up going nuclear just out of sheer desperation, is my analysis.
	Again, that's the Samson option.
	When they lose, they go nuke.
	And again, look what happened with that...
	The exchange of missiles when after Israel assassinated the top commanders in Damascus in Syria at the consulate when Iran responded with the weapons strikes.
	Again, from the times of Israel, it cost Israel 1.3 billion dollars To knock out those weapons.
	It cost Iran 10% of that to send them.
	And Iran targeted...
	They didn't target people.
	They just showed that they could hit where they wanted to hit.
	And Israel barely responded.
	Because they knew that Iran...
	These are the Persians.
	They've been around a long time.
	There's very advanced people.
	So what I'm saying is that...
	If we have nuclear war, it's going to be, again, Kennedy said life on Earth will be destroyed in 24 hours.
	That was back in 63.
	And now you have the cyber wars, all the other kind of wars going on, the drones.
	By the way, I was a guest speaker at Virginia Military Institute back in 2000.
	And They brought me there because of my book, Trends 2000.
	And I wrote about new millennium warfare and how different it was going to be than the other wars.
	And again, you don't have to be brilliant to know this stuff.
	I mean, once upon a time, they were fighting with, you know, with rocks and stones to bow and arrows, you know, to...
	It just keeps expanding.
	We're at a point now of annihilation within no time.
	And all these little clowns that are building bomb shelters.
	Life will be wonderful after a nuclear explosion.
	I mean, you're going to want to be happily ever after.
	If there's a nuclear war, I hope it hits me right away and I get checked out.
	Well, Victoria Nuland recently is calling for strikes deeper into Russia, which, of course, is what Blinken is supporting.
	And then Russia has already previously stated that if that happens, then Russia will consider UK and US... Military bases, command centers, logistics targets to be legitimate targets.
	So that means that the minute Ukraine starts launching these weapons and hitting targets in Moscow, let's say, Russia could just start nuking Norfolk, Virginia, right?
	And, I mean, they've already warned that that's what we're going to do, or just bombing London.
	It's coming.
	Talked about Victoria Nuland.
	Yeah, I hate to bring her up, sorry.
	See how happy this guy looks?
	Yeah.
	This is your Trends Journal when it used to be a monthly back in 2014.
	Now it's a weekly.
	Article written by Dr.
	Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan.
	Washington is driving the world to the final war.
	Ukraine presented the perfect opportunity for Washington to advance its hegemonic agenda.
	In a speech at the National Press Club last December, which is December 2013, and anybody could look it up, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion In non-governmental organizations, NGOs in Ukraine to quote, teach democracy.
	United States overthrew the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych.
	She was out there passing out cookies and cakes with McCain and other clowns because Ukraine has been busted since the breakup of the Soviet Union.
	Not my language.
	The European Union, the most corrupt nation in Europe, not my language, the latest poll out from Ukraine where 89% of the people say corruption is the number two issue other than the war is number one.
	They needed money.
	Yanukovych was going to make a deal with the IMF, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank.
	They needed dough.
	Putin said, I got a better deal for you.
	I'm going to give you lower interest rates, and I'm going to lower the price of your gas and oil.
	Oh, wow.
	Yanukovych said, great, we'll go with you.
	No, you won't.
	No, you won't.
	Victoria Nuland, the audio is there, talking to another arrogant, you know, look at these little clowns, you look at these little nobody boys, guy Jeffrey Pyatt, you know, The guy was the United States ambassador to Ukraine.
	She's caught on the phone with him.
	I've heard this recording.
	Yeah, she said, FU to the EU. We're putting Yats in there.
	Yatsenyuk, another clown boy.
	And we're getting rid of Yanukovych.
	Yep.
	Regime change.
	Yep.
	And people have no idea about this.
	And then you talked about Antony Blinken.
	Don't you know who my daddy was?
	My daddy was the ambassador to...
	See, Hungary, my uncle was the ambassador to Belgium and I went to Dalton and I went to Harvard and did you see me play the guitar in Ukraine with Zelensky?
	A little wacko!
	A little piece of crap!
	A little garbage boy!
	Go over there and fight, fat mouth!
	Or shut your mouth!
	Look at that little clown boy!
	It is disgusting.
	Oh, yeah.
	Look at the little shit of Lindsey Graham.
	Hey, Lindsey, you come out of the closet yet?
	Anybody that wants to steal my money, bring it to another country to go fight their war, go over there and fight.
	Take your wife, take your kids, take your transgenders, go over there and fight, or shut your damn mouth.
	Yeah, well said.
	Well said.
	And that's what this has become.
	You see Speaker Johnson, you see Senator Graham, like you mentioned, and others just calling for all-out escalation against Russia, as if it's still, you know, 1972 or something, where the U.S. naval forces are immune to everybody else.
	Gerald, I'm predicting we're going to see a U.S. aircraft carrier destroyed.
	Oh, again...
	These guys, they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
	And all they do is talk about war.
	Yeah.
	No, it's crazy.
	Imagine from...
	If you call these guys out man to man, they wouldn't know whether to piss a shit.
	Don't you talk to me like that, you little piece of crap.
	You little piece of shit.
	How dare you do this?
	How dare?
	Hey, screw George Washington.
	Oh, the guy that was a real fighter?
	Read his farewell address.
	Do not become involved in every foreign entanglement.
	Don't love a nation, don't hate a nation, because if you do to either one, you become a slave to them.
	This crappy sentence is going on for centuries over there, and we're not going to fix it.
	And an estimated half a million Ukrainian men are dead because of people like Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken.
	And she's just another version of, you know, Madeleine Albright.
	Just another rendition of a Hillary Clinton.
	I mean, they're all the same.
	Satanic, demonic, anti-human, power-hungry, evil lunatics that run our world.
	Oh, and remember the crap they used to spew out?
	Oh, if only women were in charge.
	Oh, yeah.
	If only women were in charge.
	Good and bad comes in every race, creed, color, gender.
	Take it easy.
	I don't want to hear this.
	You got that Vandelion over there, the little clown Baerbach over there in Germany.
	Oh, Baerbach.
	Oh, my goodness.
	I thought having an IQ of room temperature should have been a requirement to be in elected office there.
	You misspoke Clinton's name.
	It's Hitlery Clinton.
	Hitlery.
	You're absolutely correct.
	All right, Gerald, we're just about running out of time here today.
	I want to remind people again, trendsjournal.com.
	They can subscribe to the Trends Journal.
	Use discount code RANGER. It'll save you 10%.
	Even then, it's a couple of bucks a week.
	It's nothing.
	But the knowledge you gain from it is invaluable.
	You get a weekly issue, heavily researched by you, Gerald, and your staff, and put together in a very compelling format.
	I would say that a lot of our audience, some of them are retired, many are, and they have assets.
	And they're trying to figure out how to just not lose those assets.
	Like, that's the name of the game right now.
	And you know, if you hold it in dollars, you lose it.
	Go ahead.
	Yep.
	And again, one of our top trends is a golden year for gold, and we could see gold going up to $3,000 an ounce this year.
	I could see that.
	And again, people say, you know, I'm angry.
	Once upon a time, there was this guy by the name of St.
	Thomas Aquinas.
	You could look it up.
	He said, if you're not angry when it is morally justifiable to be angry, you are immoral.
	Good point.
	Not being angry.
	And I'm angry.
	I don't like to see the slaughter of people all over the world and my money going to do it.
	I want peace on earth, goodwill to all.
	I don't want to die in a war brought to you by little war whores.
	Yeah, I'm right there with you.
	It's amazing how everything has flipped.
	I mean, here, you and I are the pro-peace people, and the GOP leaders are the anti-free speech people.
	Yeah, I'm a warrior for the Prince of Peace.
	Again, I launched Occupy Peace over a decade ago.
	And I'm having another rally here in September.
	Judge Andrew Napolitano, he's on board already.
	Oh, that's great.
	I'm going to try to get Scott Ritter and Colonel McGregor here as well.
	Oh, can you please let us know?
	I mean, we'd love to help promote that, publicize it for you, because those names you just mentioned are just outstanding people.
	Colonel McGregor has amazing analysis.
	Judge Knapp, I'm watching his show every day.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he's the best.
	I know.
	We're great friends.
	We go to dinner about every month and a half.
	We're an hour away from each other, so we meet two hours away.
	We meet an hour away each time.
	Yeah, no, he's a great man.
	He's a man of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
	Absolutely.
	That's been stolen from us.
	Yeah, and didn't he...
	I think he said he traveled.
	He was in Italy recently giving a speech there, I believe, right?
	In Milan.
	Milan, that's right.
	Oh, I'm so glad that people like you and he exist, and there are voices of courage and reason in all of this, like Colonel McGregor from Our Country, Our Choice.
	He's a great American.
	I mean, just the willingness to tell the truth right now takes amazing courage.
	And you put the clip up for the Trends Journal and there's me and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
	I do a podcast with him every Wednesday.
	Oh, that's right.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I see that.
	Oh, that's great.
	Fantastic.
	Well, I'll check those out as well.
	Is that on your channel then?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Yeah, on the Trends Journal of Gerald Salenti channel.
	Perfect.
	I'll start checking that out as well.
	All right, Gerald, I just want to thank you for all that you're doing and tell you how much we appreciate you, we the true Americans, and we love what you stand for.
	We are 100% with you, and if there's anything that we can do to help support your mission, please let me know.
	Thank you.
	And thank you for all you do.
	I mean, you're a very brave man.
	all you people, your whole organization, you know, speaking out for the truth against the tyranny that's robbing us of our freedom.
	And there are so few of us left.
	So again, it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men, said Samuel Adams.
	That's right.
	And we're that irate, irate, tireless minority.
	And if we unite, we could win.
	Well, Well, being an Adams myself, I love to be juxtaposed to Samuel Adams, but not Eric Adams, the mayor.
	So, you know, sometimes the Adams are good, sometimes not so much.
	It just depends on which one.
	But anyway, thank you so much, Gerald.
	Have a wonderful rest of your day.
	We appreciate you very much.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Take care now.
