	As a grandfather of two girls, I was thrilled to learn my daughter was pregnant with a boy.
	I thought of all the things we would do together, like playing ball.
	That's just not been my reality.
	As a toddler, he wasn't interested in balls.
	She has focused on dolls, not balls.
	He started dressing a girl like a girl, mainly princess dresses, at age.
	Three at home, his mother tried to dissuade him from doing so at age four.
	My intuitive wife asked the dress-wearing child if he didn't like being a boy.
	His response was, quote, inside I feel like a girl, close quote.
	My wife accepted that Jonah was different well before I did.
	I thought it was because he had an older sister that he was competing with.
	I hoped he would grow out of it, but that has not happened.
	I still screw up the pronoun thing, but regardless of anything, I'm going to love my grandchild and fight for what I think is best for Jonah.
	For that reason, I urge you to vote against that.
	Am I projecting or seeing things, or does that not look like Winston out of 1984, who has been forced to say 2 plus 2 equals 5?
	And imagine, it's not a question of not loving a kid.
	But imagine thinking that your role as an adult is to cater to the fantasies of a child and to make those fantasies a reality instead of having realistic discussions with a child.
	I mean, if the kid says he's a pirate, you're going to support surgery to remove one eye and put a patch over it?
	But listening to that guy, I mean, I tell you, it sounded like he was reading a ransom note.
	And that was posted on Vice News, and even reading the comments in the replies to Vice News, it seems like a lot of people have had enough of the bullshit.
	Sorry to start off with a cuss word, but it won't be the last one of the stream, people.
	Today we have on Gerald Salente.
	Now, those of you watching, we have an hour with Gerald.
	I'll probably stay on with locals afterwards to do a post-mortem, but we've got an hour.
	And for those of you who don't know Gerald Salente...
	I don't think there's many of you, because I think all of you knew of Gerald Salente before I did.
	My financial advisor in Montreal sends me a link and says, you might like this guy.
	And I got through about five minutes of one of his videos, and I liked the guy.
	And I listened to the entire video.
	I went on something of a binge, and then I tweeted out a couple of clips.
	And then they reached out to me and said, let's do a stream.
	And I said, how about tomorrow?
	And they said, yes.
	No time like the present.
	Gerald Salente, forecaster, not a financial advisor.
	An amazing history, an amazing present.
	And without further ado, because we don't have that much time, I'm going to bring in the man of the hour, Gerald Salente, in three, two, one.
	Gerald, sir, how goes the battle?
	Thanks for having me on.
	You know, I was listening to what you were saying about that guy reading that script.
	What the hell is a kid two, three years old?
	No.
	I mean, I don't even remember when I was two or three years old.
	You know, when I was a kid.
	You know, about not knowing anything.
	I'm about 17 years old, 18 years old, and my father, may he rest in peace, we're eating dinner.
	And he said to me, you know, son, they say that youth is wasted on the young.
	He took a couple more bites and he looked at me and said they were talking about you.
	I mean, you don't know anything when you're a young guy, you know, or a young...
	I mean, this is so out of whack.
	You know, we have a magazine, it's called the Trends Journal.
	So what we're going to do now is we're going to change the name.
	We're going to call it the Trans Journal.
	You know, we figure we get more subscribers.
	I mean, what a bunch of crap they're shoving down people's throats.
	The world is exploding in front of us.
	You know, I'm 76 years old.
	I'm a guy in Napolitano, born in the Bronx, right at the height.
	The height of America, 1946, right after America wins the war.
	You were born to be free.
	You were born to be who you wanted to be.
	Take it easy, man.
	Don't tell me what to do.
	F you, don't tell me what to do.
	Who the hell are you?
	Not anymore.
	I'll tell you what to do.
	Oh, you're from Canada originally, right?
	I'm still from Canada.
	I'm down here temporarily.
	How about that little daddy's boy you got up there?
	A little boy of nothing.
	A little, little, arrogant little nothing.
	True dope.
	A little daddy's boy, born on third base and thought he had a home run.
	An arrogant little boy, and look at all the little freaks they had.
	Oh, your health minister.
	You stay home.
	You stand six feet apart.
	You go to a restaurant.
	You put a mask on when you walk in.
	But when you sit down, you can take it off.
	Look at the crap.
	Look at the crap that they shoved down our throat and tell us what to believe.
	Where are the men and women that stand up and say, F you, who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
	Gerald, I'm from Quebec.
	We were under curfew for five and a half months in 2021.
	Couldn't leave our house.
	After eight o 'clock until five in the morning and again in 2022, before you get mad, I know, first of all, I love it and it's righteous.
	And it's like, I was watching your clip, you know, who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
	And I'm thinking, oh my goodness, Rage Against the Machine once upon a time said that right before they said, you don't get into one of our concerts unless you're vaccinated.
	But let's back it up just a little bit because you have an amazing history.
	You're born in the Bronx in 1946.
	Your granddad was an Italian immigrant, an immigrant from Italy, correct?
	Yeah.
	So you're second generation American.
	What?
	Look, what I know is I've watched movies.
	I've watched a Bronx tale.
	It was magnificent.
	I used to be into all of the greatest movies because the greatest movies ever made typically revolved around the greatest era ever, which was a big span around that era.
	But what was life like growing up?
	In America, in the 50s.
	I mean, your conscious memory, I presume, is the 50s.
	How different was life then?
	What was it like?
	And how have you seen it fall off a cliff the way we have in the last 10 years?
	Well, one of the big things, you know, was the family was always getting together.
	And, you know, every night, you know, you had to be home at 6 o 'clock.
	You know, my father may rest in peace.
	My father may rest in peace.
	You know, he was a laborer.
	You know, we'd all sit together and have dinner every night.
	And you were free.
	You know, I mean, I ran away from kindergarten at four and a half years old.
	Ironically, it was PS 76, the spirit of 76. I ran away from kindergarten at four and a half years old, crossed the Boston Post Road in the Bronx, which was the major artery back then.
	They took me out of school.
	Today, they would have me shut up with drugs.
	I was the youngest of five, so they couldn't control me.
	They're tired.
	They have to have all those kids.
	And so I was the freest because you have older brothers and you're learning from them.
	I'm out of the house yelling next door to the kid, Georgie, could you come out and play?
	And the mother, it's 6.30 in the morning.
	Go back into your house.
	You were free as a little kid.
	You were free as a little kid.
	Some make it, some don't.
	You know, it's survival of the fittest.
	They weren't watching over you.
	You know, you were free to be...
	I came home crying one time.
	I'm like six years old.
	My father, what are you crying about?
	Because I got beat up.
	You know, she don't come home crying.
	And I became the toughest kid because I was the smallest kid and bullies pick on the littlest kids.
	You are free to become yourself.
	You're on your own.
	You didn't get any allowances, none of this stuff.
	You're on your own.
	You become who you wanted to be.
	The spirit, my aunts and uncles.
	Yeah, this is one of my books.
	It was called What Zidzi Gave Honey Boy.
	Zidzi is the Neapolitan dialect for auntie.
	Here's a photo of my uncles on my mother's side.
	I don't know if you can see that.
	They're all dressed up in drag.
	Perfectly dressed up in drag.
	Putting on South Pacific for my grandmother, who can't speak a word of English.
	My Uncle Mario made a Frankenstein movie, throwing my aunt into the lake.
	One funny thing after another.
	Life, spirit, and the pursuit of happiness.
	Gone.
	Gone.
	When did you notice it happened?
	It started happening during the Vietnam War.
	And again, I'm prime draft meat during that time.
	And that's when all the hippie stuff started to happen.
	And they started dressing down and the whole thing started going on.
	And again, let me make this clear.
	I, as a young guy between the ages like 18 to 22, I believed the crap.
	That they were shoving down the people's mouths.
	That if we don't stop those commies in Vietnam, the dominoes are going to keep falling.
	I believed it.
	The only reason I didn't go into the service and they're drafting everybody is because I'm watching these pictures, guys walking up to water this high with guns over their head and 50 pounds of weight on their back getting shot at.
	I said, I don't want to do that.
	So I ended up going, again, I used to call this a greaser, you know, greaser from the Bronx.
	Look what's going on now.
	Did you like the Afghan war?
	No, I like the two Iraq wars.
	Say, how about that Yemen war?
	Let's get rid of that guy.
	How about the Ukraine war?
	We're the peace protesters.
	The only reason they were taking to the streets back then is because of the draft.
	So it became the bullshit.
	Crap of freedom, love.
	Look at that little, all those Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
	Oh yeah, you anti-war guys.
	If you don't get the jab like me, we don't like you.
	Oh yeah, all those anti-war guys that supported the COVID war.
	It's a bunch of hypocrisy.
	So that's when it all went down.
	And then it kept going down.
	And then in my lifetime, there were three things after the Vietnam War that killed society.
	And the same freak, that little Fauci fraud, the AIDS, that was number one.
	Man, I'm growing up in a time of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, man.
	You go down and see, it was wild times.
	It was free.
	You're going to get AIDS, no sex, you're going to get AIDS.
	AIDS wasn't killing straight people.
	You can't keep taking it up the rear and sperm going into the bloodstream.
	Fat.
	And if you're overdosing on drugs, you're going to go out.
	We scared the crap out of everybody.
	That was the number one thing that started changing things.
	Number two, the war on terror.
	We're going to get that guy Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
	Man, in 1974, I was working for a major corporation.
	I'm flying first class.
	Everybody's dressed up, man.
	I'm running late all the time to the gate.
	You weren't getting felt up and getting electrocuted and all this bullshit.
	It was fun to fly.
	No more.
	9-11 changed everything.
	You could go into any office building.
	None of that crap.
	And number three, the COVID war.
	The damage that the COVID war has done is incalculable.
	It's incalculable.
	It has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of billions of people across the planet.
	In our trend forecasting system, all things are connected.
	You look at what's happened with this COVID thing.
	Now, hey, I'm 15 minutes from Woodstock over here.
	I'm in Kingston, New York.
	Matter of fact, I used to go to Quebec a lot.
	I'm only four and a half hours from there.
	I loved it up there.
	I used to date a French woman.
	Anyway, now Woodstock, 10 o 'clock at night, dead.
	Dead.
	All the bars, streets, dead.
	Oh, and then, of course, the tough cops, you know, they pull you over.
	The light over your license plate was out.
	Where were you?
	How many drinks did you have?
	Stand on your head.
	Repeat the alphabet backwards.
	They suck the joy out of life.
	This COVID thing, dry cleaners are dried out.
	A third of them gone.
	We're talking about what's going on with the Silicon Valley bank bus and the other bank bus going on.
	That's nothing compared to it.
	Your office occupancy rates in New York City are 47%.
	In the 10 great cities, biggest cities in America, it's about 50.4%.
	That's according to Castle with a K. That's their analysis.
	So now all the businesses that depended on commuters, gone, going out.
	Now the big one is all those big office buildings that the big zone...
	With all those trillions of dollars of debt, as people are working from home now and only going back two or three days a week, and then I'm not going to renew my lease for 10 floors, somebody says.
	I'm only going to take two.
	And I'm the landlord, and I got to pay my loan that...
	With these kind of loans are more than just variable.
	They really go up a lot after certain amounts of time.
	They do for very short periods.
	Now with interest rates up and your variable rate loan way up and less money coming in, you think you're going to have a banking collapse?
	You haven't seen anything yet.
	And so I said the COVID war has sucked the joy out of life.
	It killed the spirit of the people.
	Look, again, we wrote about this as it's happening.
	We only put the facts down.
	We warned.
	We warned about an office building bust three years ago.
	It's just making the news now.
	We warned when people lose everything and have nothing left to lose, they lose it.
	Hey, how about all those suicides?
	How about the drug addictions going way up?
	How about the crime rates soaring?
	Can't figure it out.
	We are going through the worst crisis in modern history.
	Back it up to the office building rentals at all-time lows.
	Something carried them through the crisis itself, right?
	Like in Canada, government was handing out checks hand over fist.
	You had some portion of the rent that was guaranteed so that landlords didn't go bust.
	That, I presume, is what catches up with the industry at some point in time.
	Paying their landlords or paying their rent?
	You got it.
	Again, when the COVID war began, equity markets and the economy should have crashed.
	Stay home.
	Here's some money.
	Here's some billions.
	They created the worst financial crisis in human history by pumping in countless, countless trillions of dollars from the governments.
	And then the banksters bringing the interest rates down to negative and zero, whether we're negative in Europe, in Japan, since 2000 and what, 12?
	And then keeping and putting them at zero.
	So now, look at the phony housing boom that happened.
	Hey, you want to borrow money?
	Don't worry about it.
	You got all the money to pay on your loan.
	It's only like 2.3% or whatever.
	At the height.
	At the height during the COVID war, what, about 3.5?
	In America, 3.6.
	And now it's more than double that?
	So now, let's put this all together.
	Every week, we put in the Trends Journal.
	This is our 33rd week of doing it.
	People getting laid off around the country and around the world.
	In 2000, it just hit an all-time high of the number of people getting laid off.
	Not an all-time, but a comparison to the panic of 08, the Great Recession.
	That's where it's hit right now.
	So now all the people losing jobs, how are they going to pay their bills?
	Oh, wait a minute.
	Interest rates are going up.
	Your credit card debt's going up.
	You lost your job.
	You're barely making it now anyway.
	How are you going to pay your debt?
	64% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
	64% of Americans paycheck to paycheck.
	That's right.
	That means they don't have money saved.
	Just to state the obvious, if they miss a paycheck, they go into default on something.
	That's right.
	And now your interest rates are going up.
	So now, again, people have no idea.
	I keep thinking about this.
	You ask me what's different.
	Back in the day, The stores used to close like at 6 o 'clock at night.
	Back in the day, nothing was opened on Sundays.
	Nothing.
	Only the drugstores would be open until about 12 o 'clock in the afternoon.
	Oh, there were drugstores, not drug chains.
	I was a kid.
	I worked as a soda jerk, they called him back in the day.
	I couldn't wait to get that job.
	All the kids from high school afterwards used to go to the soda fountain.
	And I met one of my loves of my life, being a soda jerk.
	I couldn't wait to do it.
	We were open on Sunday.
	After church, we'd close because they'd pick up the newspapers.
	So what I'm saying is the family was always together.
	The family was together on Sundays.
	The family was together at nights.
	Now everybody's working two jobs.
	You know, I'll tell you what, you know, people will hate me for this, but I could give a shit.
	To me, what changed everything, and again, it happened in my generation, when they started telling women they have to go into the workforce and you're not being treated properly because you're not in the workforce.
	I mentioned to you as a kid, you know, they used to tie me, my brothers and sisters told me, they used to tie me to the crib with nylon stockings.
	Because I'm out the window.
	They couldn't control me.
	They'd have my parents locked up now.
	What I'm saying is, now people have a kid, three months old, into a daycare center.
	Great.
	Great.
	A kid's growing up out of their mind.
	You don't know what the hell you are.
	You need a mother or a grandmother or an aunt or uncle if your mother has to work to love you.
	No, no.
	We're going to put you in a daycare center with a bunch of other kids out of their mind and the lowest paid people taking care of you and feeding you shit.
	Can't understand why 70% of Americans are obese.
	Why 42, excuse me, 70% are overweight, 42% are obese.
	42%.
	You look at, again, my generation, Woodstock.
	Take a look at the photos of Woodstock, 1969.
	Everybody's thin.
	When women went to the workforce and let strangers raise their kids, to me that was the beginning of the end.
	It went downhill big time and fast.
	Look what the people look like.
	Look what's happened to society.
	They're not raising their kids anymore.
	Strangers are raising them.
	In New Jersey over here, they're telling the kids, at seven years old, you should begin to decide whether you're a man or a woman, a boy or a girl.
	What are you, out of your mind?
	That's who's running the world.
	These little freaks.
	Well, I mean, literally, Joe Biden, who has appointed people to his, I don't know, administration, questionable nominees, but diverse nominees, that's for certain.
	Gerald, help me make sense of one thing here.
	Hiking the interest rates.
	I understand the rationale, or at least I understand the explanation given.
	It's to stem or to curb inflation.
	I don't understand the mechanism or how that justification is actually supported by the evidence.
	If what's causing the inflation is the fact that people have printed cash to burn, how does increasing the interest rate do anything other than As some people say, deliberately or by design or just conveniently accidentally.
	How does it do anything other than crash the economy the way we're seeing it crash now?
	What they're thinking is that when you crash the economy, people won't have any money to spend and it's supply and demand.
	This is their thinking.
	And you can see it already, actually.
	You look at Brent crude.
	You're looking at Brent crude now around $72 a barrel.
	You go back just a couple of weeks ago, it was like $84 a barrel.
	So they're looking at supply and demand, and they think that that's going to bring it down.
	Yes, some of the commodities are going to go down, but that's not going to solve it.
	And before I go on further, I want to just stay on their whole thinking.
	You know what they're blaming this inflation on?
	And again, these are not my words.
	Again, we write it in detail in the Trends Journal magazine.
	I'll take two guesses.
	One is Putin's war and the other is price gouging?
	Labor.
	Wage prices.
	People are getting more money and we got to bring down the wage increases.
	These are the words coming out of the Fed head.
	These are not my words.
	And this is what Wall Street is saying, the mainstream business media.
	They're blaming it on raising wages.
	And then they're not.
	The wages are way behind inflation.
	And by the way, the real inflation number, if anybody wants to know what it is...
	13%.
	Yeah, it's John Williams' shadow stats.
	He puts the real numbers, and it's double what it is.
	And before you go on there, explain to people how they falsify the inflation figures.
	Okay, you just saw housing prices go up 40% during this period.
	We're going to put that in there.
	We're just going to do overall rentals.
	So we're going to make up a phony number.
	Oh, and by the way, the price of steak went up.
	No, no, they changed their diet so it became a different kind of way that they're spending money.
	So we're going to make it an average.
	They did this for two reasons.
	The primary reason is that Social Security is related to the Consumer Price Index.
	So the higher the consumer price index, the more you have to pay the plantation workers of Slavelandia, whose money you've been stealing since they've been born, when they want Social Security, so you give them back less.
	We keep the inflation rate low.
	And number two, so the gamblers could keep gambling on Wall Street and keep the interest rates low so the bigs could keep buying up everything.
	By the way, which they did in 2021, merger and acquisition activity was at an all-time high.
	Remember what I said to you when I was a kid?
	They had drug stores.
	They had stationary stores.
	They had grocery stores.
	They had hardware stores.
	Screw you!
	What stores?
	Only chains now.
	Only the bigs could own everything.
	So going back to inflation, where it's going, there's a place called Argentina.
	Their inflation rate just hit.
	Over 100% this week.
	The country's down in the crapper.
	People are starving.
	So high interest rates don't bring down inflation.
	They only bring it down in some levels.
	The people that are, look, don't believe me.
	Believe the Fed head.
	What's his name over there?
	Jerome Powell.
	Let's go back two years ago.
	No, no, this isn't inflation.
	It's only temporary.
	No, no, this is not inflation.
	It's only transitory.
	And now let's call it transgendatory.
	Let's really be stupid about it.
	It identified as transitory.
	I mean, everybody should know.
	Yellen said it.
	This is transitory inflation.
	And it was transitory.
	I mean, I guess she's right.
	It's transitory into permanent.
	And now it seems to be.
	Permanent, or at least not transitory.
	So now going on to what caused it was what you were saying about all the trillions of dollars that they pumped into the economy and brought interest rates down.
	They created a phoniest bubble in modern history.
	And it's busted.
	It's going down.
	Look what they just did with the Silicon Valley Bank.
	Okay.
	Explain this here.
	Now, I understand the basics.
	Okay.
	People go to banks.
	You put your money.
	There was a great clip from South Park that's making the rounds.
	And, you know, I think it's Cartman goes to the bank and gives him a hundred bucks.
	And he says, great, I'll take your hundred and I'll put it into account.
	We'll put in an interest B and it's gone.
	And so, and they did this with every customer at the bank and then said, if you have no money at the bank, get out of the line.
	We need people with money.
	And it's gone.
	I understand the basic idea.
	You take your money to the bank.
	The bank doesn't sit with it in coffers.
	The bank invests the money that its clients have deposited in the bank.
	Some banks make good investments.
	Others make bad investments.
	With SVB, the Silicon Valley Bank, I don't know, they had like $210 billion in assets that were not worth, I guess, as much on paper as they might have said they were.
	They needed to get, I don't know, issue new securities or something to raise $2.2 billion, which caused people to panic.
	And they went and withdrew $42 billion.
	In accounts that the bank couldn't cover, that's my idiot-level understanding.
	Explain it in a little bit greater detail, just so people understand what gave birth to this crisis.
	I'll tell you what gave birth to the crisis.
	Remember what we're talking about, Silicon Valley Bank.
	I like to call it a silly con man.
	That's what they are.
	They're silly cons.
	There's a con artist.
	When the COVID war began, and again, we write about this in detail as it's happening.
	The guy Dorsey, that little clown freak, again, you know, they say in the King James Bible, the meek shall inherit the earth.
	They spelt it wrong.
	The geeks have inherited the earth.
	This was the first guy, he was supposed to go to South Africa.
	He announces he's not going.
	And we're closing down Twitter, telling everybody to stay home.
	We're going back to the Silicon Valley bank bus.
	Following him?
	Microsoft.
	Facebook.
	Google.
	One Silicon after another.
	Stay home.
	Don't go to work.
	Schools closed down.
	You can't go on.
	You got online learning.
	People are staying home.
	You're Zooming to work.
	The tech stocks are booming.
	They're booming.
	Remember?
	They were the first ones to start the COVID war in America.
	It broke out in Kirkland, Washington, in nursing homes.
	What the hell is a Kirkland, Washington, right?
	Oh, that's near Amazon, that Washington?
	Yeah.
	Now people are ordering things online.
	The stocks are booming.
	Silicon Valley Bank, right?
	Now you got all these IPOs, all these SPACs.
	We're going to take advantage of this.
	Big boom in tech.
	Now the COVID war starts ending.
	Boop, boop, boop.
	All the tech stocks start going way down.
	Let's go back.
	What was it?
	I think the tech stocks down at the beginning of the year for the year where they were down 33% from their high.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Now the Silicon Valley Bank had all that dough coming in, all those tech companies, and it's going down.
	Oh, and by the way, they had all these U.S. treasuries.
	Oh, what?
	The interest rates went up.
	And all those treasuries that were holding were next to nothing.
	That's what happened.
	It was brought to you by the silicons.
	And, by the way, they all started drawing their money out, the big companies.
	And what does the United States do?
	Bail out the rich.
	They bailed out the people, the big silicons.
	And other con artists that had all this dough in the bank.
	You're only supposed to bail them out if they have $250,000, the FDIC.
	No, we're going to bail them all out.
	Oh, and it's not going to cost the taxpayer.
	Screw you.
	Of course it is.
	No, but just explain.
	I mean, other than saying the words.
	I'm not an idiot.
	Even before the bailout, I said, this is already costing taxpayer dollars.
	I mean, somebody runs these organizations, these government institutions, the FDIC, but how does anyone say, we're going to bail them out, and it's not going to cost the taxpayers a dollar?
	It's bullshit.
	Total bullshit.
	And again, people swallow the bullshit.
	You know, that guy Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction and dies to al-Qaeda.
	Total lie.
	Oh, by the way, I had a rally up here in Kingston, New York.
	I have buildings on the most historic four corners.
	It was a peace and freedom rally.
	One of the speakers was Phil Giraldi.
	Phil Giraldi was a top, top CIA guy who goes into George Bush's office and says, President Bush, here's all the data, here's all the facts.
	There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
	You know what Bush told Giraldi?
	Leave him with this.
	Told him, get out of here.
	You know what Giraldi did?
	He quit the CIA.
	Top guy.
	So when you're asking about how come they say, oh, and by the way, bullshit Biden?
	Go back to his campaign.
	We will not bail out the banks.
	We will not bail out the banks.
	We will not bail out, period.
	They always say period, by the way, after it.
	Period.
	Yeah, like that little arrogant, this is what we're going to tell you to do, period.
	Yeah, they all do that.
	They put the period in, yeah.
	They're full of crap.
	By the way, I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate, the guy that runs the whole show at 26 years old.
	I got photographs of me and Ronald Reagan when I picked him up to Chicago Hilton two days before he ran it.
	Now he's running against Gerald Ford.
	I've been with presidents, prime ministers, and princes.
	I've been on the other side.
	I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	I was a chief government affairs specialist for the chemical industry back in the 70s.
	At 28 years old, I'm staying at the Willard Hotel and putting my meetings on at the Hay Adams.
	I was killing environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement in the 70s.
	All I wanted to do was make money and have a good time.
	And then I started to grow up.
	I hit my round 32. So I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	If you haven't been there, don't tell me what it was or what it is.
	And so what I'm telling you and everybody is that what people call a government is nothing more than a crime syndicate.
	They're murderers and thieves.
	How many more wars do they have to start?
	And how many more people do they have to kill?
	And how much more money do they have to steal right in front of our eyes before you grow up and get it?
	I was going to say, you ran for the governor of New York, I believe?
	No, no, no.
	I worked for the secretary, but I ran major political campaigns.
	You never actually ran for office?
	No, no, no.
	I ran major campaigns in Westchester County, which is the richest county in America at the time.
	Again, I was there.
	I know what it looks like.
	And nobody could believe when I quit.
	What used to happen?
	We're in the back of the chamber in the Senate.
	And, you know, I'm a young guy.
	You know, what are you talking about?
	You're talking about chicks?
	You're talking about cars, sports?
	And all of a sudden, we got a clown.
	Senator Frank Smith!
	Sergeant-at-arms open.
	I said, what the hell?
	What's this crap, man?
	What's this guy?
	They can't open the door by themselves?
	And then my buddies would leave me, follow the senator to his seat.
	Pull out the chair and help him sit down.
	And I come back.
	I say, man, what's the matter?
	You know, a cat can't sit down by himself.
	He needs some help.
	I say, no, Gerald, you have that kind of an attitude.
	You're not going to make it here.
	I say, this isn't my trip, you know?
	Again, I'm a guy that grew up in the Bronx.
	My mother, may she rest in peace, situation would break out.
	I'm a little kid.
	And she'd say to me, I hate cowards.
	I hate cowards.
	I didn't know what a coward was.
	When I found out what it was, man, I'm not going to be a coward.
	I'm not going to disgrace my mother, although I did a lot of other stuff she would have liked.
	But I quit, and none of my buddies could believe it.
	My friend Brian Donahue, may he rest in peace, his wife became the lieutenant governor of Pataki.
	I saw what it is.
	The people that are in politics...
	These are the people I hated in high school and college that wanted to be class president.
	And remember all those slimy little shitheads that told you what to do with the health ministers and health directors and all those creeps?
	Remember them?
	The people that are bureaucrats are the dumbest pieces of shit around that can't get a job in the real world, that bend over, take it up the ass to get the job.
	And they do what they told, and then they become the most arrogant.
	The most arrogant.
	And again, I'm telling everybody, you better stand up and fight and be a real man or woman.
	And here's the other deal.
	How arrogant these politicians are.
	Do this, do that, do this, do that.
	You call them out face to face and say, you know, fuck you.
	Don't you tell me what to do.
	Oh, don't talk to me like that.
	Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
	And you know what?
	They don't know whether to piss a shit.
	They're little clowns of nothing.
	And that's what the people...
	How can you take orders from a clown like Mitch McConnell with more fucking chins than Chinatown?
	How can you look up to a Lindsey Graham, a Chuckie Schumer, a little arrogant true dope of Macron got sown over there in France.
	Look at the freak they had as the Prime Minister of the UK, Boris Johnson.
	A cartoonist could not come up with a little freakier piece of crap than him, and people take orders from them.
	Okay, now let me ask you, I know you always say you don't give advice, you just observe trends.
	I'm going to ask the obvious stupid question.
	It's not for advice.
	Where does this go?
	And is the end goal, or whether or not it's the end goal, is the end destination?
	Full digital currency.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	We wrote about this, the magazine cover, three years ago.
	From dirty cash to digital trash.
	Here, we're doing the interview, right?
	Gerald, something happened.
	The Russians just hacked our banking system.
	Sorry, folks, you don't have any money left.
	But don't worry, we came out with a new coin just for you.
	India is already digital.
	It's already there.
	You go back a few years ago, that guy Modi, oh, those old rupees you have, they're no good anymore.
	We're coming out with a new one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And now even the poorest people, they put their phone up and they pay like that.
	China, one after another, holiday, we're going to have a bank.
	They had a bank holiday in America in 1933.
	Holiday?
	You can't get your money out!
	They created this...
	Fake bubble with all of this cheap money they pumped in.
	America got, what, a $31.7 trillion debt.
	Oh, interest rates are going up.
	I forgot.
	Now you've got to pay more on your debt.
	They're going to come out with a new coin.
	They'd already done it in China.
	And they're going to go digital.
	So to me, again, as I say, guns, gold, and a getaway plan.
	I'll tell you a quick story.
	Canada's story.
	This is no bullshit.
	When 9-11 happened, USA Today, when it was a big newspaper, they used to run my top trends every year.
	And we put our top trends out in December, just before January.
	So in December 2000, and you can look it up, the headline was, 2001 won't be our year, Trendseer says.
	And I warned of a wave of anti-Americanism and that people wouldn't be safe at home or abroad.
	And in our Trends Journal, we had forecast in 1999 that the markets would crash by the second quarter of 2000 dot-com bust.
	So the dot-com bust is going on.
	Things are going down real bad.
	So I'm watching TV that day, CNBC, having a cup of coffee.
	We're taking away, you know, something just happened.
	A plane hit the Empire State, the World Trade Center.
	You know, let's not get excited about this.
	It's a beautiful, clear day out.
	I'm watching this thing and all of a sudden you see that picture, right?
	A beautiful, clear Tuesday morning.
	Yep.
	And I used to do a lot of hot air ballooning.
	You know, I'd fly private planes.
	You know, my buddy had a small plane.
	So I know, you know, speed and height and all this stuff.
	You know, this, holy shit.
	The first thing I did, I called my girlfriend up, and her name was Marie-Pierre.
	Marie-Pierre's brother, Francois, was the left shoulder of Jacques Chirac in Mitterrand.
	And I'm telling you, this is a Canada story, too.
	And she was from Paris, but she lived near me when I lived in Rhinebeck, New York.
	I called her up, and I said, Marie-Pierre, get your money out of the bank.
	They say to Gerald, why?
	I said, he just hit the World Trade Center.
	Again, I'm a New Yorker.
	35 miles north of New York is the Indian Point nuclear power plant.
	They're telling us that planes are going down the Hudson River.
	If they hit that nuclear power plant, I said to myself, there's going to be chaos like you can't believe.
	She goes to the bank, key bank, they wouldn't give her her money.
	They called her anti-American.
	Marie Pierre being who she is, she got her money.
	Next thing I did, I call up the bank.
	I had certificates of deposit.
	Back in those days, you used to get money, interest on your money when you put it in the bank and CDs.
	I'm sorry, Mr. Salenti.
	Certificates of deposit can't be traded right now.
	Wall Street is closed.
	I wanted my money transferred to the Rhinebeck Bank.
	I had my guns, gold, and a getaway plan.
	I had maps out.
	In those days before, I don't carry a cell phone, by the way.
	I did work for the cellular telecommunications industry and know about the dangers, the real facts about the dangers of cell phones.
	According to the University of Berkeley, California, the latest study, if you're on a phone for 17 minutes a day for 10 years, your chances of getting a brain tumor only increase by 60%.
	Anyway, I put out maps and now I have back roads going to Canada because I figured if there's a crisis going on here, I had jerry jugs filled with gas.
	I had the maps going to Canada.
	It's only four, four and a half hours away from me.
	I was going to take the back road, sneak over the border.
	I figured from Canada I could go anywhere.
	I had my guns, gold, and a getaway plan.
	To me, gold is number one.
	I've been buying gold since 1980, excuse me, either 77 or 78 at $187.50 an ounce.
	I've been buying it since.
	I buy it and put it away.
	Buy it and put it away.
	Buy it and put it away.
	And if you don't believe me, go to what the central banks did in 2022.
	It was the biggest year they bought gold.
	They know how bad it's going to go.
	So they're going to come out with a digital currency.
	They're going to screw people out of everything.
	And the bank crisis has just begun.
	I got three questions here.
	A. You get gold.
	Where do you keep it?
	Because if you keep it in a bank, it's no safer there than cash in an account.
	Keep it at home, you risk theft.
	Two, if they go to digital currency, and if the shit hits the fan, what good is gold?
	Because you have to convert it into something to get what you need.
	You convert it into what they're selling to get what you need, but you're getting a lot more for your gold than what you're transferring it into.
	And you go back to any war in history.
	The gold got you out.
	The gold got you out.
	You could buy your way out with gold.
	And what was the other part of the question?
	Where do you keep it?
	Where do you keep it?
	Use your head and figure it out.
	I might use my butt like Kevin Kuhl with the Pulp Fiction.
	And number two, I've been saying this for years.
	Why would you keep your anything in the bank?
	Oh, I just told you what happened when I couldn't get my CDs, right?
	Why would you keep anything in the bank when they're making money on your money and giving you nothing back?
	Why would you keep money in the bank?
	Why?
	What's the alternative?
	You put it someplace.
	In a mattress?
	You don't put it under a mattress.
	I mean, look, you got...
	I can't find my shit around it.
	Oh, here it is.
	I mean, you know, use your head.
	You figure out what to do with it.
	And you don't have to keep it in your house.
	Again, I know it's not financial advice.
	And there are other places, there are other things, like you go to King World News and they get a lot on gold.
	And there are different places where you can hold gold safely.
	What's your opinion on, they're not ETFs, but they're shares in companies that hold your physical gold.
	So you're holding a physical gold, but it's through an exchange.
	Yeah, the ETFs, the GLDs.
	I have some in that.
	And the reason I do is for tax purposes.
	So I put my 401, I put them into GLDs.
	So yeah, I'm taking a risk on that, but they say the gold is there.
	May or may not happen.
	You might lose on it, but it's an easy way to do it.
	And again, for tax purposes, I don't want to put my money into the stock market.
	I put it into GLDs.
	Something you've said time and time again, and probably a very simple answer.
	Markets are volatile in March and October, which is why a number of your predictions were based on March events, including the most recent one.
	Why are markets volatile March and October?
	What happens is that, let's go to October.
	You've got the summer season, right?
	And nothing happens during the summer.
	People are on vacation.
	The markets are quiet.
	September happens.
	September doesn't begin until the second week of September.
	Now October.
	Now you're seeing the big companies on what they're doing, on how much they're buying for the holiday season coming up.
	So you can see what they're doing at the big retailers to see how big they're going to be buying for...
	For the holiday season.
	And number two.
	Reality starts to set in.
	In October.
	After the summer holidays.
	See then you start.
	People start focusing on the reality of what's happening.
	March is the same thing.
	You got the Christmas holidays.
	And you have January, February.
	And then reality starts setting in again.
	You go back to January.
	Markets are way up.
	Markets are way up.
	Holiday.
	You got that holiday feeling.
	And then February comes in and things start getting reality and March comes.
	So that's the way, those are the two volatile months is the way we see them.
	All right.
	And there's another thing you said back in the day when the government asked people to turn in their gold to subsidize the government.
	I need you to flesh that out and explain what that is.
	I mean, having never lived through it.
	In 1933, they called it bank holiday.
	And you had to turn in all your gold.
	If you didn't turn in your gold, you'd go to jail.
	Again, my father told me this story.
	He said, you know, I went over your grandfather's house and he's packing up all this gold.
	My grandfather, by the way, is a laborer on the George Washington Bridge.
	You know, they worked hard.
	They made money and saved it.
	He said, your grandfather's packing up this gold.
	I said, Pop, what are you doing with that?
	He said, The president wants us to return the gold because we have to help America.
	My father said, why don't you do that?
	And my grandfather got all mad at him because he was so proud of being an American, my grandfather, you know, from coming from Italy, you know, during World War I and then, you know, coming to America.
	So he did anything the government told him to do.
	So the people turned in their gold because the government needed the money.
	Will they do it again?
	They may try, but this time it ain't going to work.
	Is there any realistic possibility of going back to a gold standard?
	Well, yes.
	And you're seeing it going to happen when the bricks start taking over.
	They've had enough of America hegemony.
	I mentioned to you, you know, I just pulled up one of the covers of the Trends Journal.
	This is when it used to be a quarterly.
	It's a weekly now, over 170 pages.
	I got a copy beforehand, but there was too much to read before this morning's interview.
	Right.
	You see how happy that guy is?
	This is an article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts.
	Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is the former Assistant Treasury Secretary to Ronald Reagan, a good friend of mine.
	Washington is driving the world to the final war.
	World hegemony is not a right America has earned.
	This is all about the overthrow, the United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine in 2014.
	All the facts are there.
	I'm mentioning this because you're talking about gold standard, hegemony.
	The world is tired of America hegemony, not only on the geopolitical front, but on the economic front.
	They've had enough.
	They've finished.
	So you're looking at countries, the BRICS.
	You'd look at what?
	Brazil, Russia, India, China.
	What's the population of those?
	Well, let's just put...
	China and India together.
	That's half the world, give or take.
	2.2 billion in China.
	No, I think India just overtook China.
	1.4 billion in China and India.
	So it's at 2.8 billion.
	What does America have?
	332 million?
	What did Europe have?
	Or illegals, but yeah, America's like 340 million.
	Well, they say 332, the official number.
	And you got Europe, what, about 400 million.
	So anyway, they're nothing.
	They've had enough.
	The dollar is going to die when interest rates go down.
	The only reason the dollar is up is because of high...
	When the dollar starts lowering interest rates, which they're going to start doing this year, we forecast, you're going to see the dollar decline, gold prices go up, and you're going to start seeing more and more countries go by the gold standard.
	It's going to be a standard, we believe, of the BRICS.
	Okay.
	Not financial advice, but forecasts.
	Forecasts.
	Now, the question is this also.
	It's something you said time and time again, and you've lived longer than I have, although I've seen it in my shorter lifespan.
	All roads lead to war.
	In an attempt to get them out of this financial crisis, they'll create or fabricate or exacerbate international conflict.
	I mean, we're already there, but does it get worse or does it get better?
	And 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?
	War on Terror.
	And it's not...
	Again, we take a global nomic viewpoint.
	Look what's going on in the Middle East.
	Protest.
	Week after week.
	Week after week in Israel.
	Because of the new...
	Judiciary law they're putting in where there's basically no courts anymore and the politicians are in charge of everything.
	They're ramping up on and on.
	Again, we write about this every week.
	They're ramping up war against Iran.
	If military conflict breaks out between Israel and Iran, World War III has already begun.
	It was a cover of our magazine.
	On February 22nd, 2022.
	From COVID war to Ukraine war.
	This is two days before Russia invaded.
	From COVID war to Ukraine war to world war.
	If I said to you, hey man, listen, give me some guns and a hand grenade.
	I want to go kill the guy next door.
	You gave him to me.
	You're an accessory to the crime.
	NATO and the United States are at war with Russia.
	If war breaks out between Israel and Iran, But World War III explodes, oil prices, gas, breadcrude over $130 a barrel, a global financial crisis.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	Here, you can look this up.
	You put in sanctions on Japan 1941.
	You Google it in.
	It brings you to history today.
	Establishment website.
	In July 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt seized all Japanese assets.
	Why?
	Because the Japanese invaded French Indochina.
	This is July 1941, Japan in Pearl Harbor, December 1941.
	So this is a couple of months before.
	Invaded French Indochina?
	What's a French Indochina?
	Oh, you mean the French that invaded and took over?
	Oh, we'll call it colonization.
	Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia to steal their tin and rubber and enslave the people and kill who they wanted to?
	How dare the Japanese go there when the French are there?
	What the hell do I care?
	Oh, I should care because, again, This is in history today.
	They also took over Cam Ran Air Force Base in Vietnam, which was only 600 miles from where the Americans were in the Philippines.
	What the hell are the Americans doing in the Philippines?
	Oh, it got worse.
	They also took over the air bases in Singapore and threw out the British.
	Why, how dare they?
	The sun never sets on the British Empire.
	Why, those dirty Japanese?
	Oh.
	And also Dutch Indochina, they too came out against the Japanese.
	And what are the Dutch doing in Indochina?
	Well, we can take anything we want from Indonesia.
	What the hell is the matter with you?
	They put sanctions on Japan.
	Again, this is in history today.
	That caused the Japanese to lose three quarters of their global trade, export trade.
	Oh, that's how they make all their money, by exports.
	They just lost three quarters of everything?
	That's right.
	Oh, I forgot.
	Also, in History Today, they cut off 88% of Japan's oil supply.
	88% of their imported oil, they need 100%, they only need 12%.
	Can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor.
	Blow me away.
	World War III has already begun.
	It's either going to be a false flag event, a nuclear exchange that's going to make it official.
	And the people are going to march off with the stupidity because they have no idea about anything.
	And again, to show you the level of stupidity, 88% of the Americans were so stupid.
	So ignorant that they believe the little daddy's boy with a pair of balls, probably smaller than a mothball, an arrogant little piece of stupid shit, George W. Bush.
	We're going to get that guy, Osama bin Laden, dead or alive.
	The 20-year Afghan war that 88% of the American people supported.
	They'll support war against Russia, war against China like that.
	Just like they marched off to the COVID war, the people do what they're told.
	When you say guns, gold, and a getaway car, Gerald, what happens, a getaway plan, where is, let's say, where is there to go?
	I mean, are we, and I'm not asking for like doomsday World War III predictions, but in the States?
	It's over.
	It's over around the world.
	Life will change.
	Look how the COVID war destroyed life.
	Look how it sucked the joy out of life.
	Oh, you're going to build a bomb shelter?
	Oh, it's going to be great when you come out.
	Yeah.
	You're going to boogie before the...
	Oh, you're going to have a great time.
	Again, don't believe me.
	Read John F. Kennedy speech June 1963 to the graduating students at American University.
	You can Google it up.
	It's all about peace.
	He warns that if there is a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, Russia, life on Earth will be destroyed within 24 hours.
	And it will be destroyed for generations.
	That's his words.
	He also goes on to say, That during World War II, no country suffered more than the Soviet Union because of Hitler's Operation Barbarossa,
	which Kennedy says killed over 20 million people in Russia and destroyed their land, their factories, their homes, farms, equal to From Chicago to the East Coast.
	And that we should not hate the people of the Soviet Union.
	They are kind, loving, caring, very intellectual and technologically advanced people.
	And that we need peace.
	Boom.
	Five months later, Jack, you're dead.
	They assassinated him.
	He wanted peace.
	I have a photo of me and John Connolly.
	John Connolly is the guy that took the bullet in the back sitting in front of Kennedy.
	Governor Connolly.
	He wanted to meet me in 1992.
	I have a picture of me, him, and his wife, Nellie, in front of the book depository where allegedly Kennedy got shot.
	He's sitting in front of Kennedy and took the bullet in the back.
	I'll make a very long story short.
	He wanted to meet me, by the way, because I had forecast in my book, Trend Tracking.
	Far better than Megatrend is Time Magazine back in the late 1980s that there'd be a new third party and someone like Ross Perot would be the candidate.
	So this is two weeks before the 92 elections.
	And he told the story of what happened that day.
	We're going back into the Anatole Hotel and he said to me, you know, Gerald, I read your book.
	He said, a fine piece of work.
	That's why he wanted to meet me.
	And he said, I know your heart's in the right place.
	He said, well, you don't have a clue what's going on.
	And neither do the American people.
	Because if they did, there'd be a revolution in this country.
	This is not only the John Connolly that was a Democratic governor of Texas that took the bulletin in his back.
	This is the John Connolly that was the Secretary of State under the Republican Richard Nixon that took us off the gold standard.
	Got it?
	It's a crime syndicate.
	Now, there was someone who said, this guy is nothing but sunshine and lollipops.
	But, I mean, reality sometimes is not easy to swallow.
	Gerald, do you have any optimism or any, not financial advice, but rather life advice?
	What can people do?
	It's very simple.
	Get in the best shape you can.
	Physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
	You're in the fight for your life.
	The higher you get, the better shape you're in.
	I never stop learning.
	I read a minimum of six hours a day.
	I keep learning and learning and learning.
	You cannot stop learning.
	And most important, not most important, equally important, do something positive every day to make change happen.
	Whether it's helping somebody, anything you can do, do something positive.
	And most of all, you're born to be free.
	Nobody's to tell you what to do, how to do it, or when to do it.
	Do what you want to do that you believe is the best for you.
	You know, critical care nurses.
	You know, I was a speaker at the Rage Against the War Machine rally in Washington, D.C. on February 19th.
	And Ron Paul was one of the speakers as well.
	And I've done a number of events for Ron Paul.
	And we see each other.
	Hey, how you doing, man?
	You know, he's 86 years old.
	He goes, Gerald, he says, I come here and do this.
	He said, because I know that every time I'm doing something positive, I'm really doing something positive for myself.
	And I said to him, you know, I said, critical care nurses say that the greatest regret that they hear from people that are dying is that they didn't become the person they could have become.
	Or did what they wanted to do.
	So that's it.
	You got to get out on a high note.
	And I'm doing everything I put my money with my heart, my mind, and my soul are.
	Again, I launched Occupy Peace.
	You know, I put out a magazine.
	Every time we put it out, I ask this, please make it be the best it could possibly be.
	You have to do the best you could possibly do.
	When you shortchange, you're only shortchanging yourself.
	I'm going to kill my...
	I'm going to regret it if I don't ask.
	You said you were a small kid growing up.
	May I ask how tall you are?
	Oh, five, six and a half.
	You're still taller than me, Gerald.
	Damn it!
	I was thinking, maybe, maybe just once I fell...
	By the way, I also had my own school.
	I taught close combat for many years.
	So it's not just talk.
	You know, it's the reality.
	The stronger you get...
	The more you respect yourself and you do what you can to bring life to a higher level.
	How tall are you?
	Well, 5 '5 and a half, but I can say 5 '6 on a good day.
	Although, I used to do judo as a kid.
	And I'm taking Brazilian jiu-jitsu self-defense now.
	I mean, you're right.
	The stronger you are, the stronger you are.
	And as a short guy, smaller guy, you've got to punch above your weight.
	That's what you have to do.
	So people say to me, you know, calm down.
	Don't tell me to calm down.
	You got to punch above your weight.
	It's organic.
	So that's another important thing to know.
	Now, I know that you had an hour and we're at an hour.
	All right.
	Gerald, ordinarily I would end this with you and we'd say our proper goodbyes, but I'm going to continue going live afterwards on Rumble.
	But Gerald, I'll put all the links in there.
	People love you.
	I think everybody here knows you.
	But for those who may have just discovered you, where can they find you?
	Where can they get Trends Journal?
	How can they support you?
	And where can they go to get not financial advice, but forecast so they can make the best decisions for themselves?
	The Trends Journal.
	TrendsJournal.com.
	TrendsJournal.com.
	It's the grand total of $2.86 a week.
	It's nothing.
	It's a shitty cup of coffee at one of these crappy places.
	By the way, every day I grind my coffee by hand, my espresso.
	Because when you grind it by hand, it doesn't burn the beans.
	When you put it in a blender, it goes, it burns the beans.
	So anyway, it's only, so I'm talking about lousy coffee.
	Every morning I have my espresso with a little, I started putting some anisette in there now rather than sugar.
	So it gives me that little high, a little high, you know.
	But again, we're giving you everything we can.
	There's no magazine, there is no magazine in the world that gives you in-depth trends analysis.
	And trend forecasts like the Trends Journal, socioeconomic and geopolitical.
	We tell you what in the world is going on, what it means, what's next, and our trend forecast, what's next and what you might want to do.
	The motto of the magazine is think for yourself.
	And that, by the way, came from my father when I was a kid, when I shoot my mouth off, repeating what I used to hear on the media.
	He'd say to me in Italian, Papagallo!
	Stop repeating what everybody else is saying and think for yourself.
	Amazing.
	Gerald, thank you very much.
	Let's do this again anytime.
	You're always welcome.
	It's fantastic and I love what you do.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for what you're doing.
	I really appreciate it.
	My pleasure.
	Gerald, thank you very much.
	Enjoy the day.
	Bye-bye now.
	See you soon.
	Everybody, that was amazing.
	I tell you, not only does he remind me of my father, His name is Gerald, and my dad's middle name is Gerald.
	He's the youngest of five kids.
	I'm the youngest of five kids.
	There are no coincidences.
	No, that's a joke.
	It's kind of cosmic and kind of amazing.
	Well, I'm going to think of what to do with the rest of my day.
	Everybody, I'm going to go over to Rumble.
	Do a couple of stories there, because there's still some stuff to talk about.
	You're going to want to come over to Rumble, people, because if you thought the world had gone mad, you'd be right.
	But the depths of the madness seem to be infinite.
	We seem to be heading full-fledged into a black hole of intellectual madness.
	When you read this, I don't know if it's an article, a publication from the Cancer Society of Canada, you're going to want to read it.
	So we're 2,000 people here.
	Let's move on over to Rumble.
	Link is there.
	Then I'm going to go do some Rumble Rants, and then I'm going to go over to Locals, talk over to the Locals group exclusively as well.
	Damn, I like Gerald.
	Okay, ending on YouTube in three, two, one.
	Now.
	I was just about to hesitate and say, wait a minute, I shouldn't because I forgot to bring up one or two or three Super Chats.
	Master Ball Rubius!
	I remember Saturdays in the 70s, out after breakfast and maybe stop back for lunch, just be home for dinner, walk from school every day since the sixth grade.
	Master Malrubius, youngest of five kids I was, am still, I was taking the bus to school alone as of grade three, but I'm not sure that that's because the world was safe when I was a kid.
	I think it's because my parents were just effing tired by the time I was in grade three.
	And I was a real pain in the ass.
	You know, part of me makes the joke that they wanted me on the bus alone.
	I'm joking.
	The world was different.
	We used to spend our weekends.
	We called it RTPBY, running through people's backyards.
	We used to go run through people's backyards, climb onto garages.
	I was the crazy guy jumping off the garages, landing in the judo roll.
	I used to jump off a clean garage from the roof and land into a judo roll.
	You do that now.
	I mean, you can do it in Canada.
	You won't get shot, but you'll probably just get arrested.
	Life ruined because right now we've criminalized normal childhoods.
	There's one more that I forgot to mention.
	Canon Hotep.
	Canon Hotep.
	I wonder if he has to be a Hotep Jesus fan.
	Not where you can go, but how long you can last.
	And it says essential on the shirt.
	That's like an eye exam for the elderly.
	All right, people, let me just see how we're doing on Rumble here.
	Let's refresh.
	One person watching on Rumble.
	I think there might be a glitch here.
	All right, we got Kierdorf in a Rumble rant, and then we're going to bring up the article of the day.
	Where's Rumble here?
	I just want to bring this up here.
	Okay, here we go.
	Share this up and everybody can see it.
	Love you both.
	Love both of you.
	Sorry, thanks for the great show.
	Kierdorf, $5 Rumble rant.
	Look, Gerald has got an amazing presentation, and I think he verbalizes the rage that a lot of us feel.
	It's not in our state of being to enunciate it that way, to express it that way, but holy cap, we're all feeling it.
	You think anybody's not saying...
	Who the F are you to tell me to stay home?
	What to put on my kid's face?
	What to put in my kid's bodies?
	What to do with my business?
	I need to ask you for permission and show you papers so that I can go get a coffee.
	Oh, but it's for the greater good.
	Medical experts are saying it.
	And I love it.
	The more you live, the more you know.
	And Gerald has lived through multiple cycles of this.
	I never fully appreciated what Gerald said about Vietnam.
	The peaceniks started protesting when the draft was implemented.
	I hope that's historically accurate, but it makes a hell of a lot of sense.
	Yeah, war is fine so long as, you know, the flyover country.
	I don't want anyone thinking I tolerate of that term.
	The flyover country folk, they go voluntarily.
	So long as they continue doing that, oh, we'll support a war in Ukraine.
	Oh, then you start drafting our kids, our Ivy League university kids.
	Then we become peaceniks.
	It's amazing how that works.
	When you actually have to put some skin in the game, it changes the way you play the game.
	Never fully appreciated that.
	The lies that they were told about Vietnam.
	If Vietnam falls, communism falls everywhere.
	Let's go send our youngest, healthiest...
	Let's send the future of our generation to go fight it.
	Because if Vietnam falls, the rest of the world goes...
	And lo and behold, probably as much of a lie as weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
	And you guys know this.
	I lived through the weapons of mass destruction lie.
	I was old enough to remember.
	I was old enough to know better.
	But I didn't know better.
	I did not know that when the government comes out and says, we've got a report from...
	27 intelligence agencies.
	They didn't say 27. They said, what was it?
	All 12 agencies confirm weapons of mass destruction.
	The French secret police confirm it.
	The MI6 confirms it.
	Everybody confirms it.
	I didn't know that they had two expert reports.
	Or I didn't know that they could just...
	An expert report will be produced to yield the conclusion that they know you want because that's how corruption works.
	All intelligence confirmed they had weapons of mass destruction and they didn't.
	Oh, that's like 50 former intelligence officers or former intelligence personnel confirming that the Hunter Biden laptop story has all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation campaign when they knew that it was legit.
	It's almost like intelligence has always lied.
	It's almost like the biggest wars have always been predicated on lies.
	And my goodness, for those who are living through their first war now in the Ukraine, now they're telling the truth, people.
	Now the government, for the first time in its history, is telling the truth.
	Because it makes sense.
	Oh.
	And they'll learn.
	It's like, oh shit, look at that.
	They lied to us about the war in Ukraine as well.
	Oh, but too late now, a quarter of a million Ukrainian civilians have died as a result of, you know, us potentially propagating, exacerbating foreign conflict on lies.
	Now we know it, but thank goodness it wasn't our kids.
	Thank goodness it wasn't our quarter of a million civilians that died in the Iraq invasion based on, not faulty intelligence, lies.
	I've seen things come up in the Rumble Rants section.
	Slippery Rabbit says, I followed Gerald for a dozen years or more, and he's angrier than he used to be.
	Honestly, so am I. That's a $10 Rumble rant.
	And a $1 Rumble rant says, Southern Rican.
	I grew up in the 1950s.
	Dude, at four years old, I walked to movies by myself at four years old.
	There, I have no doubt...
	I smell burnt toast.
	Let me just make sure that...
	I'm going to text my wife just to make sure nothing's burning here.
	Is anything burning?
	Just make sure that the...
	I mean, sure, I can get up and go see what's going on in the house, but that would mean I have to get up, open the door, trip over the light.
	Okay, so the more things change, the more they say the same, people.
	And we're seeing that in real time right now.
	Now, what's the insanity of the day?
	What's the insanity of the day?
	Oh, I didn't set my bookmarks up.
	Hold on one second.
	The insanity of the day is trust the science.
	The people who tell you to trust the science, who are telling you that unless you trust the science, the world as we know it is going to end because climate change is an undeniable consensus.
	By the way, if anybody didn't see last night's sidebar, Barnes was not able to make it, with Garland Nixon, go check it out because he discussed a very important point, consensus.
	There's no truth anymore.
	There's just consensus, which allows you to always be wrong, yet always be right if you relied on the consensus.
	The consensus.
	Trust the people who trust the science who are the science about the consensus of climate change.
	Listen to this.
	Listen to this.
	Can I swear?
	I can swear.
	It's fucking insanity.
	I'm sorry.
	It's insanity.
	And insanity, as Einstein put it, is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
	Insanity is also detaching yourself from reality.
	My aunt, was she my aunt?
	My second cousin once removed.
	I had an immediate member of the family.
	She lived down the street from us.
	She was schizophrenic.
	Diagnosed schizophrenic.
	She would call up.
	And I knew it.
	She would start recounting to me her...
	Delusions.
	And they were fantasies, but they were delusions.
	I mean, she thought it was as real to her as it is real to me that I'm rubbing my hands.
	There was nothing you could do to talk her out of it.
	You'd have to listen to it, and you didn't start a confrontation with her, nor would it have been my position to do so.
	But I had a schizophrenic aunt, diagnosed, lived as good of a life as you could.
	Clinically insane.
	Clinically, mentally detached from reality.
	Are we looking at the same article as I talk about this?
	As a trans woman, do I need to get screened for cervical cancer?
	I'll show you.
	I had to Google it just to make sure.
	Men don't have cervixes.
	This is how fundamentally discombobulating.
	All of this is.
	It's so absurd.
	I have to sit there and say, hold on.
	Do men have cervixes?
	And this is not from the Babylon Bee.
	This is not even from the Sacramento Bee.
	This is from the Canadian Cancer Society.
	I thought it was parody.
	As a trans woman, do I need to get screened for cervical cancer?
	No!
	Because men don't have cervixes.
	But wait for the wordsmithing of those who trust the science.
	Wait for it because you know where this is going to go.
	I knew where it was going before I got there.
	If you're a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to pap test and cervical cancer.
	That's right.
	Because you don't have a cervix.
	That would be like saying if you're a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to testicular cancer.
	Yeah, because you don't have testicles.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	You just don't have testicles to feel for malignant.
	Tumors.
	As a trans woman, you don't have a cervix because you are a biological man.
	Now, what happens if you make one and wait and tell what they call it?
	Because it's called a neovagina and a neocervix, as if those are terms of science.
	They're terms of an art, of a medical art, which some people might consider Frankensteinian butchery.
	But wait for it.
	And if you haven't, that makes a fair amount of sense.
	After all, in order to get cervical cancer, you need to have a cervix.
	That is the organ that connects the vagina to the uterus.
	If you're a trans woman and have not had bottom surgery, you aren't at risk for cervical cancer.
	Stop, everybody.
	We teach critical thinking on this channel.
	Words have meanings.
	My father growing up said, as a lawyer, words are the tools of your trade.
	Words are the...
	Arrows in your quiver.
	Words are the weapons of war.
	When someone says if you're a trans woman and have not had bottom surgery, you aren't at risk for cervical cancer, that necessarily implies that if you're a trans woman who has had bottom surgery, you might be at risk for cervical cancer.
	That's what it means.
	How can that be, though?
	You don't have a cervix.
	You don't...
	Create a cervix after bottom surgery, which if you haven't seen the images of what that consists of, I'm not saying that adults, full consenting adults who are acting in full awareness of fact, law, and what are they called?
	After effects of surgery?
	What are they called?
	Side effects.
	Should not be allowed to do it.
	To each their own.
	The problem that I now know from having conducted two interviews with a trans...
	With a biological woman, Chloe Cole, and a biological man, Tulip R. Ritchie, most of them, one had top surgery, the one had bottom surgery.
	They don't know what the after effects are.
	They are not told what the after effects are.
	They are not given proper medical advice.
	They are not doing anything in full awareness of fact and consequence.
	But set that aside.
	If you're a trans woman and have not had bottom surgery, you aren't at risk for cervical cancer necessarily implies that if you are...
	A trans woman that has had bottom surgery, whatever all this means, you are at risk for cervical cancer.
	How can that be if you don't have a cervix?
	Oh, because we've constructed one.
	It's not a cervix.
	What do they call it?
	A neocervix.
	If, however, you're a trans woman who has bottom surgery to create a vagina, vaginoplasty, and possibly a cervix, there is a very small risk that you can develop cancer in the tissue of your neovagina or neocervix.
	Can you understand what we're doing right now?
	This is not science.
	This is not even language anymore.
	But they're using language in a very way.
	They're not saying you're at risk for cervical cancer because that would be idiotic because even a biological male who constructs a neovagina or a neocervix, whatever that means, would still not be at risk for cervical cancer because they don't have a cervix.
	And you see what they're doing here.
	If you had one constructed, you might be at risk for cancer in the tissues of your fake vagina.
	And fake cervix, because that's what it is.
	That's what neovagina neocervix means.
	You know what they're basically saying?
	You can get skin cancer.
	They're basically saying you can get skin cancer in your neocervix, and we as Trust the Science Cancer Society are going to implicitly, if not explicitly, refer to that as cervical cancer.
	They should call it cervical neocancer or neocervical cancer.
	The risk depends on the type of surgery you have.
	The type of tissue used to create your vagina or cervix, why are they calling it a vagina or cervix here when they called it a neo-vagina and a neo-cervix up here?
	Now they've just got to slowly blend their fabricated term for what was a fake vagina and a fake cervix into what now seems to be an ordinary, normal biological cervix and vagina.
	Talk to your healthcare provider to figure out your specific cancer screening needs as part of your overall pelvic health.
	It can be difficult to make cancer screening a priority, especially when there's not a lot of information out there about cervical cancer for trans men.
	That's because it doesn't exist.
	There's not a lot of literature out there about testicular cancer in trans men.
	You may also be concerned about things like experiencing transphobia during the screening process.
	No.
	You might just be fearful of being looked at like someone who's absolutely detached from reality by going to a doctor and asking about cervical cancer because you consider yourself to be trans when you don't have a cervix.
	You may also be concerned about things like experiencing transphobia.
	You mean like if a doctor comes up to you and says, that's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.
	I understand you identify as a woman, but you do realize that means you still don't have a cervix, right?
	That's transphobia.
	State biological facts to a grown adult.
	Maybe you have more pressing health concerns.
	Yeah, like any other health concern you might have.
	Or maybe you just don't want to think about cancer screening.
	No, I think everybody thinks about cancer screening.
	Still, it's important to take care of your health by getting a cancer screening you need.
	Screening means checking for cancer before there are any symptoms.
	Here's the bottom line.
	If you're a trans woman who's had bottom surgery, discuss your personal risk for cancer.
	Yeah, you know what that cancer screening will be?
	Not looking for cervical cancer in someone who considers themselves to be a trans person.
	But this comes from the Canadian Cancer Society.
	I want to stop the screen.
	This comes from the Canadian Cancer Society.
	And if there's any surefire way to ensure that your funding dries up, that's one way to do it.
	Everything woke goes to shit.
	And yes, my definition of woke people.
	Faking victimhood, faking oppression so that you can gain power and prestige by virtue signaling.
	Because that's exactly what...
	The Canadian Cancer Society did it just there, and I don't know that I've ever donated to that particular Cancer Society, but I sure as hell know that I will not going forward.
	Chebosh, let me refresh here and see something.
	Okay, now, what else do we have on the menu of the insanity of the day?
	Here, more people who are just idiots.
	They happen to have the...
	They happen to have the Twitter handle, Trending Liberal, so, you know, total idiots might be baked into the definition.
	Doubling, this is more January.
	Sorry, that just got very loud for me, and I don't think any of you heard that.
	Doubling down on having got caught in a lie.
	When you tell one lie, it leads to another.
	When you tell two lies, to cover for another.
	When you tell three lies, oh, brother.
	If anybody doesn't know that song from the...
	80s.
	Adam Kinzinger.
	You know what?
	Actually, Adam Kinzinger.
	Who else?
	What's her name?
	Liz Cheney.
	They got caught in a lie and boy howdy are they doubling down.
	Why can't I see that?
	I'll get Kinzinger.
	No, no.
	I'm going to bring up Kinzinger's tweet first because we've got to see.
	Here we go.
	Look at this.
	Because you have to see the level of outright.
	I mean, you can't expect honesty from a confirmed liar.
	Adam Kinzinger is a confirmed, bona fide, disingenuous liar.
	Period.
	Full stop.
	Still hasn't retracted, corrected, or apologized for having promoted the lie, the conspiracy theory of the ghost of Kiev.
	Here, let's see what Adam Kinzinger, who's been caught in the lie.
	Of the information that they withheld, the January 6th committee withheld the video footage that they're now faulting Tucker Carlson for having released on the basis that Tucker Carlson is lying to the American people by disclosing exculpatory video footage that the January 6th committee did not disclose to the general public.
	Why?
	Because it would have shattered their narrative.
	So they accuse Tucker Carlson of lying through exposure when they are in fact guilty of lying through omission.
	What does Adam Kinzinger, the liar, have to say?
	Language alert, people.
	Oh, jeez.
	You can't hear people swearing.
	I mean, you can have a summer of love where they cause billions of dollars in damage, but I can't hear someone swear.
	Who the F are you to tell me what I can hear?
	Adam Kinzinger.
	Language alert.
	Of course, any time you get a video of an angry mega, it's a language alert.
	Oh, I'm so sorry.
	I'd rather have that than a video of people occupying a police station or, I don't know, interfering with Supreme Court justice confirmation.
	Oh no, nobody swear.
	All of a sudden, Adam Kinzinger, the man who just spent two years lying to the American people, he's offended by swear words now.
	But let's just hear it.
	Weird for a...
	Christian movement.
	Oh, oh.
	Now, according to Adam Kinzinger, Christians can't swear.
	I haven't read the Bible, but...
	Then we go to Trending Liberal.
	Let's just follow this rabbit hole of stupidity.
	Trending Liberal puts out new.
	Justice Department just released this shocking, it's a shocking video of January 6th rioter Sarah Carpenter.
	Oh, they got to name her, dox her, of course.
	You know, when Tucker Carlson released the footage, they actually blurt out stuff that might be compromising.
	Here, trending liberal, put them on blast.
	Identify them.
	Name them.
	No dog whistle there, by the way.
	Just name them.
	Seemingly possessed as a fucking animal.
	It's a shocking clip, people.
	Cop eclipse like this make MAGA lose their tourist narrative bigly.
	Spoiler alert, dummy.
	No, it doesn't.
	All right.
	Don't kill me.
	I was in 9-11.
	I watched her body.
	They're fucking animals.
	They're fucking animals.
	I'm a fucking animal.
	I am a fucking animal.
	I am a fucking animal.
	Do you hear me?
	Do you hear me at the back?
	Do you want an animal?
	So, first of all...
	Do I understand from this clip that a Capitol Police officer was calling her a fucking animal?
	I don't know who's calling her a fucking animal.
	When she says, I'm a fucking animal, I don't know that she's saying it as an affirmation or as a mockery of the insult of whoever it is that's calling her a fucking animal.
	A woman who, I don't know her story.
	But if she was there on 9-11 searching for bodies, fighting for her country in the way that she can only to see 20 years later the country that she thought she knew stolen from her, I can understand a little bit of the rage.
	But A, it's not even clear what the I'm a fucking animal means.
	Is she mocking the person who's calling her an animal?
	Like, you want an animal?
	Yeah, I'm an animal.
	I searched for bodies after 9-11.
	You dare call me an animal?
	But I just love the fact that...
	This is a violent insurrection.
	This was an attempt to overthrow a government.
	She came armed with a tambourine.
	A tambourine.
	A tambourine, people.
	Everybody knows when you're going to insurrect, you've got to have your...
	The heaviest, sharpest, most loudest tambourine.
	Alrighty, let's see this here.
	Share screen.
	Let's go back and see some crumble rants because I think there's one new one.
	Jojo 2Q2Q.
	God bless.
	Hashtag Gerald Salente.
	Hashtag true American patriot.
	Link, please.
	Oh, Florida Salty Army.
	I'm going to put the links up after I end the stream and then it processes.
	So that's it.
	I have maybe a couple more things lined up here.
	Then we're going to...
	Oh, hold on.
	Let me just do this here.
	Okay, so we're live in Locals.
	Let's take the party over to Locals, people.
	So by the way, this afternoon, I should say this.
	this afternoon, I'm doing a live podcast with a small up and coming Canadian channel called Patriot Propaganda.
	I don't know them from a hole in the wall, but they came highly recommended to me as in not highly recommended.
	They came vouched for to me by someone who I trust, who says they're good people.
	That's all I need to hear.
	So I'm going to be doing a live stream.
	It's called Patriot Propaganda.
	It's going to be at five o'clock.
	They have 443,000 Let me see if I can send this to myself so that we can all go give them a look.
	Copied.
	Send this to myself so that I can get...
	Come on, man.
	So I'm going to do that at 5 o 'clock.
	And between now and then, I'm going to talk to locals.
	Let's do this.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	Let me just share the link so that everybody can get it here.
	And you can go and surprise them this afternoon by giving it a listen.
	And let's have a massive crowd in there.
	How do I get my email from this thing called Outlook?
	Sink.
	Why is my internet so damn slow here?
	I'll tell you what.
	Okay, Patriot Propaganda.
	Copy link.
	And let's put this in the chat, both in Rumble and in Locals.
	Someone in the Locals put up a post that says a neovagina.
	I guess this comes from childrenscolorado.org.
	I'm going to pull this up when we go to locals.
	A neovagina is when a vagina is created or reconstructed.
	The procedure is called a vaginoplasty using other body tissues, but there are risks for complication when a portion of the colon is used.
	Again, if anybody wants to do this to their own bodies, it's fine in full awareness of fact.
	I just happen to at least know from two people that I've interviewed firsthand, most people are not aware of the healing process, the aftermath, the risks.
	Benefits.
	Most people are wildly, wildly misinformed.
	Okay.
	And now, let's just see one more thing.
	Before we decide whether or not we go on over to locals.
	Yep.
	All right.
	Everybody, let's do it.
	Do I need to play a video to play us out on Rumble?
	I don't think I got one lined up today.
	Oh, I'll play a short one.
	I'll play a short one because people might like it.
	This is from our Locals Meet and Greet in Vegas.
	And what could be more fitting for music for a VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com meet and greet than this song right here.
	And then everyone, make your way over to Locals and we'll do something exclusive there.
	I go here.
	I go here.
	I share the screen.
	And then we go to locals.
	VivaBarnesLaw.locals.com Here we go.
	Enjoy.
	Let me show you something with the average shout.
	He over our last Vegas.
	He over our last Vegas.
	Booyah!
	Hold on, just gonna zoom in there.
	Finish it with Viva Barnes.
	There we go.
	One more time.
	All right, everybody, I'm gonna end it on Rumble right now.
	Let's go over to Locals and I'll see you all there.
	How do I end the stream on Rumble?
	See you guys tomorrow?
	Maybe tomorrow.
	Sunday for sure.
	Spring break with the kids, so I'm not sure.
	I might be on and off, but, you know, I can't stay away from the internet.
	See you all soon, peeps, on Locals.
	VivaBarnsLaw.locals.com Have we ended this?
	Are you sure you want to end?
	Yes.
	There might be some problems on Rumble.
	Hold on.
	I'm seeing myself having trouble ending the stream.
	How do I end the stream on Rumble, people?
	Live stream error that says error.
	It's already ended.
	Okay, good.
	So I think we are now.
	Are we still on Locals, people?
	Let me know.
	Yes, yes.
	Good.
	Giocondo, close the window.
	Boomer.
	No, no, it wasn't me.
	I think there might have been some technical issues because the stream said there was one person watching the entire stream, which I know is not true because at least my wife and...
	Best friend we're watching.
	Oh, I just scared the dog.
	Locals, people, how's it going?
	Let me go to the locals and see what's going on in the chat here.
	Gypsy Muse says, Viva Fry, you need to go find a bar and have some green beer tomorrow.
	Tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day.
	I wonder if we're allowed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Canada.
	Who the are you to tell me what to do?
	Sorry, guys.
	Christmas is canceled this year.
	I know it's going to be tough to do.
	We're going to have to celebrate things differently.
	Viva O 'Fri, Sophia Agape.
	So we got some tips.
	Let me get to the tips here.
	We got a $1 tip from Jeanette Victoria.
	It went to hell when women got to vote.
	Well, I'm glad I didn't read that one on the interwebs.
	Warning, reading the chats is not an affirmation of support or condone.
	I've heard the argument.
	I think it's more tongue-in-cheek.
	But When feminism became about the fact that women could not choose to do the things that women typically did, when feminism became a question of demonizing traditional womanhood, I can see that being a very big problem.
	And we're seeing the repercussions of it now.
	You know, women who want to go back to having what is a traditional woman lifestyle, which I put it in quotes because it's bullshit.
	I took parental leave.
	I took, not paternal, I took parental leave when our first kid was born.
	Well, I'm fortunate that we lived in a province that allowed it.
	Fortunate that, you know, I did not foresee a long-term life in the practice of law that I could, at least at the firm, that I could live with the consequences of having taken maternity leave.
	I took parental leave.
	Am I not a traditional man?
	Because I have long hair and like spending time with the kids?
	Holy shit.
	And I like cooking too.
	I'm just not particularly creative about it.
	So yeah, when feminism became about denying women the right to choose to adopt traditional feminine stuff, that's where I think things go off the deep end.
	And I think that's necessarily what happens when movements get militant.
	What was I just about to say on that particular thought?
	Oh yeah, in Quebec, as part of the women's liberation movement, They passed a law in 1978, 79, give or take, that when a couple gets married, women's rights means that the woman can no longer choose to take her husband's last name.
	That's why, you know, in Quebec, women don't have the same last name as their husbands.
	They don't even have the option because there would be too much patriarchal pressure on those weak, vulnerable women that they would...
	Choose, but be coerced to take in the names of their husband.
	Viva Las Vegas!
	Okay, Jeanette Victoria says it's a $2 tip.
	It says, An example of inflation.
	In 2017, I bought a pair of men's sweats for $12 today.
	The same pants cost $29.
	That's true, Jeanette, but that depends on the...
	The thing is, you can still get sweats for $12.
	I can still get cheap shoes these days.
	I think inflation are things that have immutable cost.
	That, you know, not technology that gets cheaper over time and also not things where you have options.
	Let me think, like, what did I just buy recently?
	Oh, yes, the mammoth tooth.
	I'm joking.
	Like, bread.
	Coffee blows my mind.
	When Gerald said, you know, his magazine, Trend Forecast, is like a cheap cup of coffee.
	Where the hell can I get a cup of coffee for under $3?
	I don't buy coffee.
	Shouldn't say that.
	I don't actually buy coffee out anymore very much because it's all crap and you're paying $5 or $6.
	$5 or $6 US for a cup of coffee.
	By the way, in Vegas, holy shiot.
	So I stayed at the horseshoe.
	I got an online raid.
	It was like $139 for the first night and $39 for the second night.
	Very cheap.
	There was no coffee maker in the room.
	And I'm like, oh, genius, you diabolical bastards.
	Because I went downstairs to get a cup of coffee.
	It was $8.99 for a large cup of coffee?
	That's $10, because I do nonetheless feel compelled to tip and tip the percentage of the price.
	That's $10 US for a cup of filtered coffee.
	Can you imagine the diabolical genius is sitting around discussing their quarterly earnings?
	Like, how can we get people to spend more money here?
	Well, people are making coffee in their rooms and we're providing them with something that...
	Deprives them of the need, if they want coffee in the morning, of spending 10 flipping dollars downstairs.
	Take the coffee out of the room.
	You know what I expect them to do in the future?
	Don't give you potable water in your hotel room.
	I went downstairs and accidentally bought a bottle of Dasani.
	Water that some people have told me is so bad, even Coke doesn't use it for making their Coke, because I think Coke owns Dasani, whatever.
	It was $5 for a bottle of water.
	I said, I'm not buying it.
	I'll drink from the tap.
	First of all, I would drink from the tap anyhow.
	Then someone told me that all of the water on the Vegas Strip or maybe in Vegas itself is recycled water because they don't have all that much water.
	And so I'm drinking recycled toilet water that's been purified to drinkable tap water, which I don't care about because I'm not that neurotic.
	But yeah, that was the first and last bottle of water I bought on that trip.
	Southern Fire sent a $5 tip.
	It says, no more bailouts, period.
	Southern Fire, too late for that, I think.
	MightyPay says, Viva, we have some locals' members who would be a good sidebar or interview.
	We have yet to interview or promote any member.
	We have yet...
	Well, I would not view it that way.
	I wouldn't promote any member.
	The membership would not be a factor of consideration, in my view.
	Interesting people with interesting...
	Everybody's interesting.
	But yeah, I wouldn't view it as prioritizing.
	Members for interviews.
	Some people also might not necessarily want to have their full existence exposed to the interwebs.
	But interesting guests.
	Timely guests.
	And going to Mighty Pace at the $1 tip.
	Great sidebar last night.
	I agree.
	Garland was amazing.
	And I'm an idiot because I thought Garland was his last name when Robert texted me.
	He was amazing.
	And I don't think there was anything that I didn't really ask that I wanted to.
	But I like him.
	And amazing life story.
	And an amazing life experience.
	Viva, you're still live on Rumble?
	Well then, Rumble...
	Let me see here.
	I see it.
	Refresh.
	Hold on.
	Is that me?
	I see my frozen face.
	Live on Rumble.
	That's great.
	Well, now Rumble got...
	Oh, they got all the benefits of this...
	Wow, I can't end the stream.
	It's already ended, but it seems to be live.
	I'm going to close the window, and now I'm going to refresh here and see what happens.
	The stream will never end.
	Okay, now I think it ended.
	The stream...
	You, Viva, will have to stream for the rest of your life?
	All right, now let's go to the comments and see what's going on in the chat here.
	There were some good memes in there that I saw.
	I have the app open.
	Mandelichi says, well, I think we're done now because I closed the window.
	That might have been it.
	Viva, please ask Gerald Salente about when someone asked him to mask up at his local espresso bar.
	Yes, damn it.
	Well, I can tell you, I can probably predict what he said.
	Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?
	I suspect that.
	And the other thing is, the way Gerald says, punch up like, oh, you got to act crazier than your size.
	I could picture him doing that.
	I imagine it was something like that episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
	You know, when Will Smith is telling someone how to, like, you know, act crazy so that people don't mess with.
	Like, back off!
	Back off!
	Just mind your business!
	I could see Gerald Salente doing something along those lines.
	Let's scroll up here and see what we got here.
	It's still on Rumble.
	Okay, don't worry about that.
	Please ask Gerald Salente about what someone asked him to mask up the local espresso bar.
	Got that.
	Let's see here.
	You are still live on Rumble.
	It doesn't matter.
	I'm live on Rumble.
	Viva is still live on Rumble.
	Okay.
	McDonald's went from $1 to $1.49.
	Coffee.
	But even this...
	The thing is, there's always options to get really cheap food regardless and really cheap clothing and really cheap stuff.
	Then it becomes a question of what the quality of that stuff is.
	Like, oh, God.
	Has anybody...
	I mean, Tim Hortons...
	Story time.
	When I used to go on summer road trips with my now wife, when we were girlfriend and boyfriend at the time, I'm not sure.
	I met Marion in 1999.
	And 1999.
	And then the irony was that 99 to 2000, I was going to study philosophy at La Sorbonne in Paris because I had met a German girl earlier before meeting Marion.
	And then that German girl went back to Germany and I said, well, I'm so in love with that girl.
	I've got to go find a way to get to Europe.
	So I'll do an exchange through McGill and go study philosophy at La Sorbonne.
	And then I get accepted and I have a whole year planned to go to France to study at La Sorbonne so I could be closer to this girl who lives in Germany.
	Then I meet Marion the summer before I leave and I'm like, holy crap, I don't want to go to France anymore.
	And then I have to go to France anyhow.
	And Marion came to visit me during spring break.
	How her father let her fly to France and spend a week in my apartment was 16 square meters.
	So my entire apartment in France was half the size of what I'm currently using as a studio.
	Not that the studio is massive.
	I couldn't open my fridge when the bed was folded out of the wall.
	It was a hide-a-bed.
	It went up and down into the wall.
	When the bed was down...
	The fridge was right here, and I couldn't open the fridge door because the bed would block it.
	Her father let her come down and spend a week with me.
	I think he knew me.
	He had met me two or three times.
	And then I came back, and the rest is history.
	Came back.
	Every summer, we would do a road trip together.
	And we would take a car from one of our family members.
	I once took a road trip, and my dad, he had a Mercedes 300E.
	It was super old.
	Uber old by the time I took it out on a road trip.
	And we went and did a road trip through the Gaspésie.
	And at one point, we go to this place called Mont Jacques Cartier, which is like the biggest peak in Quebec, I think.
	And we take a back route.
	I was like, oh, we could take a back route to get back to the highway a little bit further down.
	Mercedes 300E, it's not a...
	Wicked sports car, but it doesn't have clearance like an SUV, and that road required clearance.
	So there's all that to say, we would go on road trips every summer.
	We did the Gaspé-Z, we did Nova Scotia, we did British Columbia.
	Tim Hortons Coffee, that's where this all started.
	We used to drive out of our way to get Tim Hortons and a cinnamon raisin bagel with low-fat cream cheese every day, wherever we were, because we loved it.
	We were staying, we once went camping.
	Just outside of the Chief, near Whistler, and the nearest Tim Hortons was back at the Chief.
	We drove back in the morning to pick up our coffee, cinnamon raisin bagel with low-fat cream cheese.
	All that to say, Tim Hortons coffee sucks garbage.
	It's garbage now.
	It tastes like diluted garbage.
	And that's it.
	So what were the other road trips we did that were amazing?
	We did Death Valley.
	That was the best.
	LA, Vegas, Death Valley in August.
	We showed up at Death Valley at 10 o 'clock at night.
	Didn't know that everything's closed in the summer because it's so bloody hot.
	Pitched a tent at a shutdown campground.
	It was about 110 degrees at night.
	And then the next day we went to that old town, that deserted town.
	We went to Badwater.
	We hiked one of the dunes.
	It was the coolest thing on earth.
	Mighty Pes says, we need more solution-focused conversation.
	Not today.
	I like Tim Horton.
	Lost7 says, I liked Tim Horton coffee well enough when I worked in Toronto.
	Eh.
	Tobacco water says, Geocondo.
	Yeah.
	You want...
	Okay.
	Sophia Agape says, we need more solution-based conversation.
	I think you meant in general, not necessarily today.
	It's tough to say what the solution actually is.
	Violence is not the solution, full stop.
	Violence is not the solution, full stop, but violence can become the problem very quickly when people think voting is not the solution.
	Electoral change is not the solution.
	Legislative change is not the solution.
	When people don't feel that there are any solutions, well, the fact that violence becomes a problem itself ceases to be a problem because all you have are problems and there are no fathomable solutions.
	I think it's a long game in as much as, you know, what's the guy's name?
	Not Zelinsky.
	Gulag Archipelago.
	Chat, what's his name?
	Uri Bezmanov.
	You know, in as much as Bezmanov says, Mighty Pez says, I didn't say it today.
	Well, Mighty Pez, you weren't getting solution-based discussion today.
	No, not Dostoevsky.
	Solzhenitsyn, that's him.
	Who's Uri Bezmanov?
	I'm getting confused.
	It's Solzhenitsyn.
	Solzhenitsyn said, you know, it takes decades to infiltrate and poison and overtake a society.
	It's going to take a long time to change the minds.
	And I like what Jimmy Dore said.
	It's not about awakening the sheep.
	It's about gathering the lions.
	I mean, that's...
	My view is it can only happen with grassroots from the bottom up, which creates such a ripple effect that the change then also comes from the top down.
	When it becomes so...
	I was going to swear and use God's name in vain, I just did.
	When it becomes so damn impossible...
	For politicians, unpopular.
	For politicians to promote the shit that they're promoting, that's when it's going to change from the top down.
	But the only way it gets unpopular for people to stop talking about gender-affirming care as in hormone blockers for children, the only way that happens is when so many people from the bottom say, this is butchery, this is inhumane, and we're going to wake up enough people to make them realize that so that it trickles up and then trickles down.
	I mean, I know people who are having...
	Discussions with their close friends about gender-affirming care.
	Hold on one second.
	Hello?
	Okay, sounds good.
	Thanks.
	You have people who think that they're benevolent for supporting what is genital mutilation.
	Oh, but these kids are so mature, they know so damn...
	With such damn certainty, their gender, that they need gender-affirming care in the form of hormone replacement therapy, puberty blockers, or worse.
	And they think that they're being benevolent for doing it.
	The way you sensitize them to that is you make them realize that they're not being benevolent by mutilating children based on their transitory, confused minds as to identity because they're being confused because of what the adults are pushing down on them.
	Someone comes to me and says, well, you know, what's the best retort?
	Someone genuinely thinks that they are saving a kid by providing puberty blockers.
	And I say, okay, first of all, a child cannot get a tattoo under the age of 16, period.
	I was having this discussion with them.
	They said, no, no, they can get it with parental consent.
	No, they can't.
	I'll have to double check any jurisdiction where a child under 16 can get a tattoo, even if they have parental consent.
	And from 16 to 18, they can only get a tattoo if they have parental consent.
	Can you imagine?
	Then they might say, okay, well then let kids get tattoos.
	Okay, let kids get tattoos.
	Why then would you not let a kid have sex?
	If a child can make life-altering decisions based on their own definitive understanding of their own sexuality, how then can you say that a child, a minor, Cannot engage in sexual activity.
	You can't.
	Because the argument is the same.
	So the people who think that they're being benevolent by supporting hormone blockers, puberty blockers, whatever, child genital mutilation, they think they're being benevolent, they necessarily have to concede that they next will espouse the belief that children can consent to sex.
	Oh yeah, why criminalize pedophilia?
	I mean, why criminalize...
	Gender mutilation.
	You've got to get them to go there.
	And then they're going to say, okay, well, if that's the case and you think pedophilia should be legal, you think child genital mutilation should be legal, and you're going to elect politicians to do that, I'll know where to go and I will know where not to go.
	But it's coming, by the way.
	Hold on, let me see if I...
	Let me see if I can see this here.
	It's coming because it's the necessary result.
	I tweeted it just to create the proof of creation.
	Call it journal trans.
	We're going to call it journal trans.
	Actually, Gerald made that joke.
	Here.
	Those who support gender-affirming care for children will soon be using the exact same argument to support the position that children can consent to sex.
	It's not a question of if, it's a question of when, because the arguments are the same.
	My only question is, are we already there?
	I'm not certain that we're not already there.
	I know that there have been some fringe elements trying to normalize pedophilia, trying to say it's a disease, which, okay, it's a mental illness.
	Okay.
	I'm also convinced that anybody who murders someone is suffering from a mental illness.
	It doesn't mean that they're absolved of the legal consequences of such illness.
	I know that people have already been doing this, and I just don't know.
	It starts off fringe, by the way, because there are fringe elements that are definitely doing it.
	Now, I remember back in the day, there was a whole...
	They were being called out.
	But it's fringe, you know?
	It's not mainstream, so why pick on them?
	You know what once upon a time was fringe as well?
	Defund the police was also fringe once upon a time.
	You know what else was once upon a time fringe?
	Hormone replacement therapy slash puberty blockers for children.
	That was once upon a time fringe as well.
	Now, oh, so hold on.
	I actually wanted to go into the...
	Mighty Pe says, we need to not use their language, not agree to things that are not reality, and stop the sterilizing of language to make it sound benign.
	That's a $1 tip.
	Mandelichi says, Viva, you are still on Rumble.
	I just checked.
	Well, that's totally cool in that...
	I'm watching myself.
	Well, it's the stream that's never going to end on Rumble.
	Anyone watching on Rumble, you're getting a taste for what goes on at vivabarneslaw.locals.com.
	You can join the community!
	You don't even have to become a paying supporter.
	You can just join the membership.
	How many members are we at now?
	I think we're at 106,000 members.
	Or you can choose to support the community if you want.
	Seven bucks a month, 70 bucks a year, or more.
	Because some people actually do give more than the $7 a month, which is...
	It is not appreciated because that's a passive way of saying things, and I hate passive descriptions.
	I appreciate it more than I can possibly explain.
	Ikigai.
	What the world needs, what I'm good at, what I can make money doing, and what I'm passionate about.
	Mighty Pez says, all above average members.
	That's a $1 tip, and that is Barnes' expression.
	So anybody watching this on Rumble, this is what we do afterwards.
	We go YouTube to Rumble, Rumble to Locals, and then we have discussions exclusive on Locals, and you can join as a member.
	There's some content that is exclusive to paying members, supporters.
	The vast majority is not, but some of the good stuff is, like Barnes's hush-hushes.
	We chitchat, says Mighty Pay.
	Grooming children is an attempt to normalize pedophilia.
	I tend to agree.
	Oh, that's what I heard in the book!
	Let me just...
	Marry him?
	Okay, doorbell rang.
	So I just finished Steve Deese's and Daniel Horwitz's The Rise of the Fourth Reich.
	And, you know, they use hyperbolic rhetoric in it, plandemic, bioweapon to refer to the jab.
	I understand that that's going to push people away and not necessarily...
	That will not waken the sheep.
	That rhetoric is going to turn some sheep off, and who cares?
	One chapter, and I forget which one it was, I think it was the chapter of the military doctor who said, compelling children to wear masks, to do things that are fundamentally unhealthy for their own body, she believes firmly it's a form of grooming.
	And it was designed to be a form of grooming to, on the one hand, see...
	She didn't go to the second part.
	Her first part was it was a form of grooming to get children used to listening to adults who are telling the children to do things that are harmful to their body.
	And I had never had that thought before.
	And it's an insightful thought.
	Where I went one step further on that was it's also grooming.
	It's not an original thought.
	I know other people have had it.
	It was also grooming the adults to see just how far they'll go in torturing children.
	Get them to go.
	You get them to commit the crime.
	Actually, that was in the book as well.
	So I guess it was a variation of what they already talked about in the book.
	Get them to abuse their own children.
	And then you always have that hanging over their head.
	Because if they admit they made a mistake, they admit that they tortured their children.
	And I remember sitting on a chair in the snow on the lake at my parents' cottage in the middle of winter.
	I think it was a year and a half ago.
	When the Peel region outside of Toronto...
	Issued a press release telling parents to quarantine their healthy children if they were exposed to somebody who had COVID.
	And you should do it for children as young as five years old.
	And I'm like, holy shit.
	This is government-sanctioned child abuse.
	See how many parents are going to do it.
	Push them to the edge.
	Get kids used to the idea that adults are going to compel you to do things which are destructive to your body.
	And that's going to train them for the rest of their lives.
	Who the f- are you to tell me what to do?
	Someone sent me a diagonal ring in the mail.
	I still don't know who it was, and I don't know if it's trying to get me in trouble.
	F-Y-M-M.
	F-U-MAKE-ME.
	I finally know what the F-Y-M-M stands for.
	It's a heavy ring.
	It's like a Super Bowl ring.
	I don't know who sent it to me.
	It came in the mail.
	I'm not much of a ring person.
	I'm a one-ring person.
	F-Y-M-M.
	F you make me lock up my child in quarantine.
	Because, not because they're infected, and even when my kids were infected, I was eating food out of their mouth so that I would get it to them and we would just get it over with altogether.
	Not even if they're infected.
	If they had been exposed to someone who, oh, but that was the consensus at the time.
	10, 14 days of quarantine.
	Down to 10 days of quarantine.
	And the science today is, unless you're vaccinated, you can't come into America.
	Oddly enough, that's the rule.
	You could be COVID positive and be allowed in if you're vaccinated.
	Just following orders, says Marta.
	Yep.
	We didn't know.
	I forget what Holocaust movie it was in where German soldiers, German citizens were holding up posters as the Allied forces came and they said, we didn't know.
	I don't know if it actually was a real image or just out of a movie.
	Just following orders.
	We didn't know.
	I didn't know it was bad for a kid to wear a face mask for eight hours a day.
	See what you can get parents to do.
	And once they've done it, it's like you've got the spiritual blackmail, the spiritual extortion over parents for the rest of their lives.
	How could I have done that to my child?
	The only way to make sense of it is to keep doing more of it.
	Like the Rwandan genocide, the soldiers who kept on killing, it wasn't because killing meant nothing to them and it stopped meaning anything as they continued to do it.
	because it meant so much they had to keep doing it to try to convince themselves that it meant nothing.
	Thank you.
	Can't connect right now.
	Try again.
	I'm just nervous as to what happens when I end the stream.
	Is it going to be an end?
	Oh, no, I can end it on StreamYard.
	Okay, well, that's how I'll end it on Rumble.
	So, everybody, we've been going live for two hours and two minutes and 21 seconds, and I have to urinate.
	Exercise.
	Walk the dogs.
	Poop there.
	You guys want to see some dogs?
	Winston?
	Sure.
	Get over here.
	Oh, yeah, here he is.
	I am your master.
	Behold, Winston.
	Look at his eyes.
	Look at his eyes right there.
	Smell good.
	Yeah, that's the...
	I think his eyes may have gotten a little worse in terms of the whiteness, but...
	Look at that dog.
	He looks like a...
	If this dog spoke, he would have a French accent from France.
	Ho, ho, ho!
	Qu 'est-ce que vous avez dit?
	Sacré bleu!
	Okay, down you go.
	Pudge is there, but I'm not picking her up.
	It's going to end in poop.
	So, 5 o 'clock.
	I forget the name of the channel already.
	Patriot Propaganda.
	You got the link.
	And I'll see you then.
	Love the Pups.
	Let's see here.
	We need to take hard stands against this evil madness.
	I'm done.
	I mean, I've reached the end of...
	It's not a...
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So go, everybody.
	Enjoy the day.
	Spring break as of tomorrow.
	Sweet, merciful goodness.
	Or spring break as of this afternoon, I guess.
	Booyah.
	That's it.
	Go.
	Enjoy the day.
	I'm going to go end the stream on...
	I'm going to end it on...
	I'm going to try something different, actually.
	I'm going to end it on StreamYard and see if it ends it automatically on Locals.
	Everybody, thank you for being here.
	Thank you for spending time with me.
	Thank you for...
	Listening to the rantings and ravings of a man who is shouting into the abyss while trying not to fall into it.
	Go enjoy the day.
