We just had a new record for a price of gold and we broke twenty four hundred right, yep, two thousand, four hundred and fourteen dollars as we're speaking. Now, wow wow, Now, let's go back to September of twenty twenty three. We had forecast that gold was near its bottom when it hit one hundred and forty eight dollars. It went down a little bit below that. We said, this is the bottom, and then you look at one of our top trends for twenty twenty four, it's right there
for everybody to see. A golden twenty twenty four, a golden year for gold. Now, we had forecast that it was going to skyrocket. It's gone up now since we made that forecast three hundred and sixty five dollars in
ounce from when we made that trend forecast. So think about it. If you subscribe to the Trends Journal for the grand total of if you go to night and you put in that special discount for the grand total of two dollars and fifty cents a week, Now look what you would have made if you And again, we don't tell people what to do, the motto of the Trends journalist think for yourself. Yeah, we provide the facts. Trends analysis, trend forecasts is where we see it going. This is just the beginning,
but it's not being reported in the mainstream media. By the way, the Wall Street Journal ran an article last week about gold prices going up. Not a mention, not a mention of our trend forecast, which we've said to the Wall Street Journal, not a mention. Yeah yeah. So the importance of it and why they're playing it down is because gold prices are going up because of the people with a brain see the future and it's a future
of geopolitical and socio economic unrest. Yeah it's and gold is the number one safe haven asset to own. Yes, yes, you know, it's interesting this article from kit Ko. This is kind of a joke. Precious metals prices projected to rise eight twenty twenty four, says a World bank. Well that's pretty safe. In other words, I guess what they're saying isn't going to go down. But you know, it's gone up so much that that
is really, in hindsight, it's kind of crazy. So they're not really saying in this article, they're not really saying that they have any reason for it to go down. It's just that they are not even looking at at one is what has happened to it already. It's pretty pretty amazing. Kiko used to have me on all the time. They don't have me on anymore at all. Yeah, well I should get you. They don't want me
on. They don't like me. Yeah, people don't like me because I speak the language of truth and I don't take I'm not a little moronic, little girl of little boy that believes in a political system. How stupid can you be to look up to the little arrogant clowns running and ruining a country near you? Yeah, looking up go over there to France. Look at that little guy mic Throne that little guy with a thing like this and a fake little hair, an arrogant little boy of nothing. Look, take a
look at the United States. Look at the little clown boy that's playing our house. A representatives leader in the Democratic Party. Yeah, Mike Johnson, how can you be so stupid to look up to this clown? Take it easy, Slenty, don't talk like that. I like Nancy Pelosi, I like Adam Shit No, no, no, no no. I like Chucky Schumer. Yeah, look at the clowns out of his mind Biden, arrogant,
narcissistic Trump. It's a presidential reality show. So anyway, going back to gold, gold is telling us the future is in danger, and people are getting gold because it's the umber one safe haven asset. And by the
way, goal prices would be much higher if there wasn't a bitcoin. Yeah, yeah, because what happens is, like you take a country like Argentina, you only have an inflation rate of two hundred and eighty percent two hundred and eighty percent inflation, So the people can't afford to buy gold, so they buy a little percentage of bitcoin because they know their currencies are becoming devalued.
So here's the story. Country after country now is going to start lowering interest rates because the economy is going down and they got to boost it up. The United States is going to lower interest rates too, because they don't want to see all these countries go down. The lower interest rates go in the United States, the higher goal prices go. The only reason the dollar is strong is because we have high interest rates. So now what happens is
that it's the beginning of the death of the dollar. Again. The dollar is only strong because interest rates are high and you're buying treasuries and you're getting like four point five percent or whatever. When when when interest rates go down, the dollar goes down and goal prices spike. Goal prices could hit three
thousand dollars announced this year. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of interesting, you know, James Ricards, it's a he put in twenty seven thousand by two thousand and twenty six, and he said, I'm updating my previous forecast of fifteen thousand by twenty twenty six, and he says, I'm changing it now to twenty seven thousand dollars gold. And of course his reasoning that he
puts through there is the death of the dollar. And you know, the fact that you know, people we're going to be moving out into gold into bitcoin, and the massive amount of debt that is there. But you know, all the different aspects that we talk about all the time about the death of the dollar. But you know, he goes to his different calculations to show why he thinks it's there. That's the biggest one I've seen. I
think it definitely is an outlier. But still he's really bullish on gold if he thinks it's going to be a twenty seven thousand by twenty twenty six. And of course, so we got a lot of people saying, well, you know, bitcoin is going to go past one hundred thousand, it's going to go to two hundred thousand or whatever. You see that. Yeah, exactly, we look at this because you know, we're in uncharted territory, and it's not just the the you know, what they're doing to the global
economy. It's not just what they're doing to the dollar in particular that Biden is trying to destroy it by using it for sanctions and things like that, but it's also the concern of the fear that people have about things like CBDC. That's a completely new dimension to all the stuff that's never been there before throughout any of these other economic cycles. Go back to your trends journal five years ago, four years ago, a little over four years ago. From
dirty cash to digital trash, cover valid magazine. They're all going to go to central bank digital currencies because they want to know every penny that you spent, where you spent it, what you spent it on. So these little slime balls, these politicians, never work a day in their life to keep getting your tax money, and even to take it from you. You're crafts. Yeah, even take it from you and not let you spend it in
the first place. You say you can't spend it outside this little geographical area, So you better not travel onside that little geographical area because we're not going to let you spend any of the money. It's a total control, yep. And going back to what Rickards say about the death of a dollar. Here we are in the United States with a thirty five trillion dollars worth of debt, thirty five trillion dollars, and then it's going up a trillion dollars
month. Every month, we're adding a trillion dollars of death. Excuse me, every one hundred days. How are you gonna pay us off? You're not? Yea. So now let's go back to high interest rates. With the high interest rates, you got to pay more on your debt. You're going to lower interest rates. Now here's what no one else is talking about. Go back to your trends journal. Look at some of your other top trends for twenty twenty four. How about banks go bust? Mm, No,
we're not going to talk about that. Are You're not going to talk about the office vacancy rate meaning no one in the office in San Francisco, Brought to you by that little arrogant daddy's boy, Gavin Newsom. I'm partying at the French laundry four hundred dollars a plate while I'm locking down the whole country. Arrogant boy. My daddy worked for the Gaddy Gang. He was a lawyer. You're nobody, Yeah, thirty six point seven percent vacancy rate
in San Francisco. Vacant, nobody in, nobody in there. You know what it was before that in twenty nineteen, three point five percent vacancy. Wow, it's only gone up ten percent ten times, yeah, ten times yeah, ten times yeah. Wow. Well you know, they just sold the tallest building at tallest commercial building in Dallas just sold for nine percent of what it was bought for in twenty twenty one and three years fort worth. Yeah, yeah, yep and amazing yep. And now, so now you
have in New York City your vacancy rate twenty three percent vacant. Nobody in them. On average in the United States and the cities, it's a little over twenty percent vacancy rate. Now let's go to the occupancy rate, meaning people going back to work. You go to Castle Systems with a K, it's about fifty percent. All right. Now let's go back to banksco bust.
Let's say I'm one of these big corporations that own these buildings. I'm losing tenants four trillion dollars four trillion dollars of commercial real estate that is coming due between now and twenty twenty six, four trillion. I don't have any tenants. Now I got to lost all these tenants. How am I going to pay my am I going to pay off my loan? Oh, my loan by the way, Now it's their interest rate loans. It's double what it was when I bought the building. Yeah, Yeah, the banks are
going to go bust. No one's talking about this. As site that I recommend people go to is called Wall Street on Parade Pam and Russ Martins. They put the facts in there about the banks to bandits like nobody else does. Let's go back a year ago, a little over a year ago, last March, when the Silicon con Man Valley Bank went bust, then First Republic and Signature went bust. Look what it did to gold prices and the markets. The markets went way down, goal prices and want. Yet that
was three banks. Now the number of banks, according to a report that just came out, over thirty banks are facing disaster, and I've seen as much as almost two hundred and eighty two banks, Medium and Lodge are facing financial crisis because of the office building bust, which was one of our top trends that we'd forecast back in May of twenty twenty when they started locking down
the country. Yeah, I remember that. I remember that. Now, if they lower interest rates before the election, is that going to help to kick the can down the road a little bit with this commercial real estate stuff. No, won't, So that's not going to be an incentive for them. To lower the rates because they're talking about, well, we're going to leave the rates. You know, this is back and forth. And I guess with a stock market going up as well as gold, I guess the
market is expecting that they're going to lower the rates. Right, Yeah, they're going to lower rates. They're going to lower rates in the run up to the election to juice the economy. Again. Excuse me here, just some articles recently that where is it? I just had one here about the well, here we go, the backbone of America's economy. It was just dealt a serious blow. That's the headline on May fifteenth in CNN, the
Cartoon News Network. Last month, retail sales were unchanged from launch when spending and it goes to April, spending missed the zero point four percent increase that economists had projected by comparison a year ago. You know, retail sales, they're down. But the bisector the biggest monthly increase in spending was at gas
stations, where sales were up three point seven percent. And they go on to say that, you know, the retail sales and how much of that sales going up is that that's all price of exactly using price of the gasoline
is not that people are buying more of it and then they go. Consumers are also taking a lot more debt to support their spending, and the New York notably, the percentage of your credit card balances ready in serious delinquencies has climbed to the highest level since two thousand and twelve twenty and twelve, the
Great Recession. Yeah, yeah, I bought a building you're ready in twenty and twelve, and you were up here in Kingston on the most historic four corners seventeen sixty three building seventeen sixty three, beautiful stone building in perfect shape. I bought it in foreclosure twenty and twelve. Now you're looking at credit card delinquency rates back to the level of the Great Recession. So what's going
on? You're looking at this? Walmart says more diners are buying its groceries as fast food gets pricey, and Walmart and Walmart's, you know, their profits went up, and they're saying that it's rough. It's roughly four point three times more expensive to eat out than it is to eat at home, and foot traffic to limited to limited service change, which includes fast foods and fast casual restaurants fell three point five percent in the first quarter. That's according
to Revenue Management Solutions. So now Walmart also says that you're ready. This is CNBC Walmart on Thursday, top quarterly earnings and revenue expectation as the discounter made significant e commerce gains, drove profits with newer business like advertising ready and one over more high income shoppers. High income shoppers have to get to walk my income shoppers. Yeah. Yeah, so people can't afford it, and I have. I've been to Walmart already two times in the last twenty years.
I can't stand going into these ugly factories. Yeah. So it's like when I was a young man, there were places called Lloyd and Taylor's, you know, all these beautiful, beautiful stores where people were dressed up and elegant. And now that's a bunch of crap and the people look like crap that go in there and they're buying crap. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. The dollar You know when we look at this and what do we see from both of these clowns who are running got Donald Duck and we got Goofy running
for this. And so Trump is talking about how we got to weekend the dollar. You know, the path to prosperity is a week dollar. And it's going to be tax cuts for the uber wealthy and the big corporations, just like you did the first time through demanding that we got zero interest rates and quantitative easing and tax cuts for the people at the very top. And of course I remember you talking about that as well. He said it's not
going to trickle down, and it didn't. It didn't trickle down. And so on the other end, we've got Biden who wants to raise taxes, wants to raise regulations, and wants to strangle everything. I mean, we're at the national level. There really is centennious solution, is it. It's just to pick your poison. Going back to Trump, he sold Trump promised three things, and I believed him, by the way in the beginning, I didn't know he was going to lie like this. He promised three things.
Yeah, to rebuild the rotted infrastruct up sure, to lower taxes, and to stop the flow of cheap labor, migrants coming in cheap labor basically, and again, just to stay on the migrant issue, they're letting them come in because they need cheap labor. You go to any of the stores. You go to the targets, the Walmarts. I don't go to Walmarts, but Marshals Home Goods. You walk in any of these places, signs help wanted. Help wanted because they're paying the people nothing. We just plantation
workers of slave landing, so they need cheap labor. So going back to and that's why they're letting him come in. Going back to Trump with his tax cuts, that's the only thing he did. The infrastructure is rotted crap. Didn't do anything. And you mentioned it, and you could go to Tax Policy Center to prove it. The one percent got sixty four percent of the benefits of the tax cuts from Trump. Ye, and he spewed out the crap that from the tax cuts they were going to use that money for
capital improvements to build up the economy. You know what happened. The tax cuts came in, then came in twenty and seventeen. In twenty and eighteen was a record year of stock buybacks. Yes, they used that money to buy back the stocks to drive up the value of there. I remember us talking about that. Yeah, And if we go back and we look at it. One of the things he was saying at the time, he said, you're going to see the average household income go up by four thousand dollars,
perhaps even up to nine thousand dollars. And of course we know it didn't at all as a matter of fact, because inflation went down. But you know that was the narrative that was sold to people. Don't worry, I'm giving all this money to my friends, but they'll trickle down on you. It's kind of like Dennis the minute sign that you see everywhere, that
that kind of trickled down economics. So again, going back to gold this is again there's dangerous a matter of fact, even yet Jamie Diamond, the guy can't stand in arrogant nobody again the Goldman's Goldman Sacks gang convicted, convicted again. We go to Wall Street on parade convicted, JP Morgan Chase of five felonies, five felonies. Hey, I don't go to jail. Don't you know who I am? Mm hm yeah, But if you want to, you know, you were ten miles. You went to go ten You
know you're going too fast. Pull all the stare on your head, repeat the alphabet backwards. You're going to jail. You was zero point one percent over this drinking limit, you go to jail. They the little people, they have slave landing. There's all of us they you know, to the fullest. They cant us to the letter of the law and beyond. Yeah, it's just going back. Even he's warning about the debt level. Just came out yesterday warning about the United States debt level. So this is gonna
this is a crisis ahead again. When interest rates go down, it's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar. And you're seeing, you're seeing the bricks, you see what's going I mean, Russia and China, you're putin's over there in China. Now let's let's let's let's get this in our ahead. If there was a war Russia and China versus the United States and NATO, who do you think is gonna win? Yeah? Oh yeah, I know. Who do you think is gonna win? I know?
Yeah? The United States hasn't won a war since World War Two. I mean this last week we just had a story about, you know, the way that the Russians just walked into kharkiep Why well, and some of the Ukrainian generals we were talking about they said they stole all the money that was supposed to be used for fortifications, right, had one hundred and fifty million dollars was supposed to be fortifications for that city. Nothing was done.
You know. The French had their imaginal line, which was totally you know, oh, we're going to stop the Germans from coming into France again. They just flew over it, right, and so everybody mocks that, you know, and they couldn't turn the guns around all the rest of stuff. But in Ukraine they didn't have imaginal line. They had an imaginary line. It wasn't there because the criminals made off with all the money. They gave
it to a bunch of corporations that never existed before. And the local journalists there in Ukraine said, the people who created these corporations to get the money had a long criminal record. I mean, they just got the mafia and the mob and they're taking all of the money. It's just all organized crime. That's what all of Ukraine is. It's just a massive black hole to pour money into organized crime, and always has been one of the most corrupt
countries. Everybody says it. Left and right have said that Ukraine is one of, if not the most corrupt country on Earth. Again, those are the facts that came out of from the European Union calling at the most corrupt country and the latest poll out of Ukraine eighty nine percent of the Ukrainian people after the war corruption. Yeah, yeah, so the people know how bad it is. But of course you got these little clown boys steal an our
money, taxpayer money, to keep sending it to Ukraine. We're just sending them more billions and billions. Oh you see that little arrogant little boy who's our Secretariat of State, Anthony Blincoln played the guitar with them. A lot of people liking him to stupid. Did you see that little argan? Yeah? Oh you know who I am? My dad he was ambassard and a hungry My uncle was the ambassador of Belgium. I went to Dulton, I went to Harvard. Don't you know why I am. I'm agin the Lincoln,
a little boy of nothing. Yeah, yeah, So many people are comparing him to a Nero. You know, Nero had a fiddle fiddled while Rome was burning. Mi Lincoln is playing electric guitar. Ukraine is burning. I mean, that's it's ridiculous. What is happening with it. It's just it's it's almost like a parody. It's crazy. It's a freak show. Yeah, and the freaks are there for everybody to see. Yeah, ye oh, who do you like? I like that guy Sounach over there.
And in the UK, look at that little clown boy. How about the one before? Boris Johnson, the best cartoonist in the world, could not come out with a clowny Bojo the clown That's why they absolutely amazing. Yeah, everything but the red nose. You know, if it just drink a little bit more, it'd be perfect. But yeah, when you look at Zelenski, he's blamed the entire world for their failures in Karkee. I guess the entire world stole that money. I mean, the entire world is giving
him money. They just rip it off and don't do anything with it. But we're all to blame for that. But you know, we look at all of this stuff. It's just one more thing about the inflation thing Gerald, which I thought really hit home with me when I saw the headline.
And you know, terms of thinking about gold, it's when gasoline is one hundred dollars per gallon and the guy says, and of course, you know, maybe if you want to get higher octane, you pay one hundred and thirty dollars a gallon and stop and think about that, you know, go back a few I thought about that. I thought, you know, what would my parents have thought of the price of this or that today? You know, and we're in for another me major round of inflation like we saw
at the end of the nineteen seventies. There's so many structural problems. You know, we got the oil issue, but then we got a lot of other things. And not only that, but we have our own government which is trying to sabotage our economy in the price of oil. It's not the
Arabs this time that's trying to do it. But I looked at that and I thought, you know, there's absolutely no way that you're going to be able to afford gasoline at one hundred dollars per gallon unless you've got some of you know, something that's going to help us to preserve whatever wealth that we have at this point in time, and that's that's going to be gold. It really is. You know, you can look at the big cooin stuff, but you know, I look at things and if I don't really understand
it very well. I feel like it makes it easier for somebody to rip me off. You know, you can get ripped off of anything. That's one of the things you learn as you get older. Right. But you know, when I look at something that I don't completely understand that it's complicated, it makes it a lot easier for somebody to steal it from you. We've had situations where a billionaire was contacted by somebody and said, hey, I just this was you right, I'm looking at this whale that sold nearly
a million dollars worth of stuff. Why did you do that? He goes, I didn't know that was taken out of my account. You know, if that can happen to somebody who is who's got that kind of money, It's like, I can't afford that kind of loss and anything. And I can't four one hundred dollars a gallon gasoline. And so when I saw this Gerald, I looked at the at the record comparing the price of gold to oil, which I thought was interesting because it took it kind of took the
dollar out of me. The dollar was the extra dimension there because it's looking at both of them priced in dollars, but versus each other, and you could see they're tracking each other pretty pretty closely. There'd be one particular event where it be a short spike where it would get out, but other than that and it will come back down, you know. But other than that,
the two of them were pretty much tracking each other all along. And the overall shape of that curve was set up by the price of the arbitrary price of the fiat dollar. But the fact, but what was interesting was how close to each other they really were. When you look at real stuff, when you look at gold, or you look at oil, the real stuff that's there, it's very different from the fiat dollar, isn't it.
Yeah. Again, you know, this is the beginning of the here's another thing, with this Israel war going on and the crimes being committed in front of everybody's eyes. If the Arab nations put an embargo on oil, that'll spike oil prices up beyond one hundred and thirty dollars a barrel for Brent crude, and that'll crash the global economy and the equity markets. Yeah, and they did that, of course back in nineteen seventy three, and you were
talking about the inflation back then. And you remember the days when they were long lines all around everywhere you get into a gas station. Yeah, even odd tags. You couldn't even get in line if you didn't have an odd tag on this day or an even tag on that. Yeah. Yeah, so this is very serious that what's going on over there. And again they're gonna they're gonna going back. One of my sayings is when all else fails, they take you to war. Yes, yes, and they're going to
keep ramping this war stuff up, there's no question about it. Yeah, you've been saying that for a very long time. I saw several people put out an article that was Martin Armstrong saying, uh, you know, with a dollar collapsing, they're going to take us to war, which is what you've always said. You know, when everything fails, they take us to war. And what is failing is their financial system. They can't sustain it with the kind of debt that they've got. That the kind of debt that
is debt growth that you talked about that's happening there. Uh truly. Yeah. Here's this is another article, Japans drinking economy hence at stagflationary risk. This is yesterday from Bloomberg, Japan's lack of growth of the last three quarters points to a risk of a sputtering economy. Later status shows the world's fourth largest economy ready has failed to grow since the spring of last year, as the strongest inflation and generations weighs on consumer spending. Yeah, that's right now,
it's not stagflation again. One of our top trends for twenty twenty four is dragflation. The economy is going to drag down, it's not going to stagnate, and inflation's going to go up. Yeah right. It doesn't mean that they're going to put Rachel Levine in charge of the treasury. Dragflation, that jagflation and apply the way you were You were being racist too when you said we're going down a black hole. Yah, exactly. It's it truly
is a crazy time that we're living in. As a matter of fact, you know, as everything seems to come back in a slightly different way. One of the things I saw while we're talking about oil, somebody did an article saying the Falkland Islands might become the most valuable piece of real estate in the world. It's like what and it was all based on the fact that there is so much oil in Antarctica and because of where you know they have
the lines drawn all the rest of the stuff. You know, we could wind up having a war over oil just in Antarctica because it's got so much that's that's there just dwarfs any of the other reserves that they found. But you know, it's kind of a pie shaped thing with all these different countries have got a piece of the pie. But you know, Falklands might give them actually a place to get in there, And I thought, well, but it creates an interesting dynamic with Javier and Malai there and the UK.
But imagine I'm fighting over that. But that's the reality of this stuff. You know that it keeps coming back, and it keeps coming back to real things. It keeps coming back to real things like oil, keeps coming back to real things like gold. Because all of this stuff about electric vehicles, people are seeing it for the fraud that it is, the fact that it's a technology that is not sustainable, it's not green even by their definitions of
green. And so you now got a lot of people saying, hey, this is going to destroy everything, and they're starting to take a couple of steps back, but not Biden. Of course he wants to go full on. But as that comes back, we're going to start to see other things like that. But it makes me laugh because the big narrative when Opek hit us was we don't have any oil. We're going to be out of oil
by the mid eighties. And I save the magazine covers from Time and Newsweek talking about how we're going to be out of oil and natural gas by the mid eighties. I knew that was a lie then, and that was what they were pushing with this peak oil thing. It appears that there is no peak oil, so now they have to say we've got to, you know, get rid of it because of cal farts or whatever. It's just insane.
Oh, you're right. Yeah. This week, by the way, this week I covered a story where there's a new company got a lot of intro capital funding from a Gates organization, e anything a vaccine against car cal farts, And how can you get more politically correct than that? Excuse me? The going back to EV's Yeah, one of our top trends for twenty twenty four, EV's go fu. We've been saying going back to when this whole EV thing started. It was a fraud. Your batteries is an invention
that was creating in eighteen hundred. Yeah, yeah, this is not high tech. And you're seeing again you know, the liftium all of what to get this stuff, and they're not again when you when you have when you look at all the data, they're not environmentally friendly. That's right. So going back to the evs, it's it's a fraud. And there's you know, now you're looking again at the hybrids. That's where the growth is going
to continue and not in the EV sector. And so again the people have no clue what's going on because the mainstream media is just selling the narrative from the government. Yeah, and the corporations, the corporations on the mainstream media. Right, that's right. And you know, back in Thomas Edison and him Reford try to do an electric car. The thing that defeated them was
battery technology. And here we are. We still don't have a battery technology that can charge quickly and has a long life and all the rest of that stuff. But the thing that is amazing to me, Gerald is how deliberate this all is to try to coerce us into electric everything. At the same time that you've got the EPA coming after power plants and shutting them down. And of course that's about deindustrializing the West and moving everything to China and to
India. That's really the agenda that is there. It's amazing to me that you know, people can't see it. Of course, the mainstream media is not going to report it because they're part of that globalist agenda. But that is the key issue, is just the industrialization of the West and to transfer the economies of the manufacturing economies to China and to India, because if you
don't have cheap energy, you can't manufacture anything. But they also want to force us to put our cooking, our heating, our transportation, everything on electric grid that they're destroying, even the diesel trucks. I mean. Now, finally you got a lot of state attorneys general pushing back on Biden and the EPA because they're coming after diesel trucks. Now there's no there's nothing waiting
in the wings to replace the diesel trucks. They're just going to shut these things down because they don't have the capability with these electric diesel trucks to get this stuff going. Yeah, you know you were talking about the media. Ready. This is an article yesterday's front page of the toilet paper Record, the New York Times. They call themselves the paper Record, but it's only good to wipe your thing with. Fight at NBC over left Tilt from MSNBC.
MSNBC placed the big bet on becoming comfort TV for liberals. Then it doubled down. Okay, let's go back to this for liberals. Look up the definition of a liberal. Yeah, a liberal is an open minded person that doesn't take a position on anything and lets people be who they want. But they redefined liberals. They should it should read. NBC placed the big bet on becoming comfort TV for libtards because they're they're retarded little jerks that believe
in their crap. Anyway, time slots on the cable network, once devoted to news programming are now occupied by Trump bashing opinion hosts. The channel has become a landing spot the high profile alumni of President Biden's administration, like Jen Saki, who went from hosting White House Press briefings to hosting our own show. Yeah that is the mainstream. Oh then you got that other arrogant little
boy stuffing off of lists. Hey, I'm stuffing off list. I sucked up the butt of Bill Clinton, don't you remember when I was there. That's who the media is, their little prostitutes, their gouvernless little boys and girls who put out for their corporate pimps and their government harn masters. And that's why you subscribe to the Trends Journal. They give you the truth and trends. We have no advertisers zero. Nobody tells us what to do all
of the media. All of the media is controlled by the corporations who get their money in from advertising. You go to MSNBC and you listen to lib Todd crap. Go to Fox and listen to pulsive can crap. Don't listen to the truth, be stupid, keep your mind the size of a pea, and swallow the crap. Oh, you better close down your business because I'm the governor and we're fighting the COVID war and stand six feet apart. Yeah, and don't forget to put the mask on. Oh yeah, these
masks. Do you remember these? You forgot about these? Yeah, yeah, that's right. You know they had in Florida and in another jurisdiction they are using ku Klux Klan laws now to say that you can't can't have a mask out in public, and it was only four years ago and they're coming after people. Can't people see this? Simon says, stuff and ridiculous it is. It's amazing to me. But you know, you're right. I love that term that you're talking about, comfort TV. And that's really what
it's become. The media has divided into two different groups of comfort TV, and they tell people what will comfort them. You like Trump, I'll tell you how great Trump is. You like Biden will talk about you know, his great programs and all the rest of this stuff. You know. And so you've got the media understands that there's an audience out there that is a demographic they think they can make money serving, and so they tell them information
that is comforting. But you don't do that, you know, as you pointed out before, many times we've talked about something, he said, I don't really like this, but this is what's going to happen, you know, And you have to have that honesty. You have to the way you do it in trans journal. You tell people this is you know, I'm not saying this because I want this to happen. I don't want this to happen, but this is what's going to happen, and you need to prepare
for it. And that's the important thing, not to just give people a false sense of comfort just to curry favor with him, because you're massaging their bias, you know. Yeah. No, again, that's what journalism used to be. Yeah, exactly. You used to call it the fourth estate. You had judicial, the executive branch, the congressional branch, and judicial branch, and journalism was the fourth estate. So oversee those three other estates
and report on what they're doing. They don't do that anymore. They fired everybody. You look at the numbers, Yeah, creations on all of the newspapers, in consolidation. It's all consolidation. They used to say the role was to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, but now they just want everybody be comfortable with their news, and so they pick a demographic and they tell them, you know, this is what we want you to be comfortable.
And I never really particularly thought that was a good definition of journalism anyway. I thought the important thing was to tell the truth. You know, you're there and your job is to find information and then to tell that people who are busy with other things in their life don't have the time to go fine, and to tell them the truth about what you found and tell them why you think that. You know, that's the other thing too. I don't like this whole idea. Oh, objective media. There is no objective
media. Just in what they choose to report shows a bias. Again, you have six companies that control what ninety the media yeah oh yeah, yeah, brought to you by that slime ball that every time he got caught with his pants down, bombs away over bag Dad, Bill Clinton, that's right, nineteen ninety six Sero Communications Act, that's right. That destroyed it. The bigs took over everything. Let me let me ask you this because you
know we're looking at that Trump has not done a VP pick yet. And I've looked at this, and you know, there's this massive CO two pipeline. Now, if ever there was a unicorn fart boondoggle, this is it kind of pump CO two. Whether they extracted out of the air or whether they extracted out of certain processes, they're going to pump it across the country. And this massive pipeline that's going to use imminent domain to destroy a lot
of people's private property so they can inject it into the ground. And the people who were really big to it are the governors of North and South Dakota, Christy Nome and Doug Bergham, who used to be Both of them are pretty high up in the vice presidential sweepstakes. Now she's basically got herself out of the running, but the two of them hanging around Trump a lot, especially now Bergham because he's got so much money. He's got a lot of
connections to all the Microsoft people too, Balmer and Gates and stuff. He actually worked for Microsoft for a while. But you have that, and then you got the CEO of this company, if I remember correctly, it's called Summit. I haven't talked about it for a while, but you know, he's at mar Lago with all of these guys. I mean, nobody is talking about Trump's connections to the Green Steel Pretty obvious what Biden is doing, but Trump seems to be connected to that as well, don't you think.
Yeah, you know again, Trump is all about money. Yep, absolutely, he's ever been about That's right again, He's another Daddy's boys s fog lifts them over almost a half a billion dollars, him and his and his brothers and sisters. By the way, I had lunch with his brother Robert, who passed away back in twenty seventeen, you know, and anyway is it is it daddy's boy. He didn't make any of this money on his
own. He looked all the money he's lost. And you know, people forget about Trump, about how he how they used to screw all of the contractors out of their last payments and everything, you know, and yeah, the guys he's a nobody again, an arrogant, an arrogant and arrogant nothing. How did his brother Robert strike you? And how did you he was? You know, as my aunt Zizzy. You know, one of my
books with Zizzy gave honeyboy this one, I'll be here. Zizzy's the Neapolitan dialect for anti if if if I Gizzy would have said, like asking the question you asked, she would have said, he would have passed in a crowd. That's a good hug like that. He was a nice guy. But you know, yeah, nothing nothing extraordinary about Yeah, he passed in the crowd. He was very nice, you know, for lunch, you
know, it was very nice. We had a nice conversation, and he was, you know, he for him, he would rather have seen his brother not run for president. Yeah. I think his wife would have rather seen that as well. I think several people in this family would have, but not not Tim and his sons seemed to be all on board with it, but certainly Milania is not. How about how about his his son in law there, Jared Kushna. Oh, yeah, I'm sure he was happy
that he ran for president, wasn't he. You know what, Jared Kushner. You see I could find it over here. Let me see here it is. This is again the definition of genocide. The deliberate and systematic disruption of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race, with being committed by definition in Gaza is genocide. And if you don't believe me, this is from Jared Kushner speaking at Harvard. Jared Kushner,
former President Donald Trump's son in law. Uh, make comments describing waterfront property in the Gaza strip is quote valuable? Ready, Yeah, this is quote. It's a little bit of an unfortunate situation there. Unfortunate situation, A little bit, just a little bit you bob the place into ruins. People have lost their homes, their their their their businesses. They're living intense. You you have a crisis or humanitarian crisis, but it's an unfortunate situation.
But you ready, from Israel's perspective, I would do my best to move the people out of there and clean it up. He said. The Palestinian civilians should be moved into the Negueft desert. Can you imagine this? Yeah, well, you know, maybe he's got a real marketing idea here, because you know, in Florida they have changed the assessment they had During one of these storms, they had an old building that collapsed, so they went back and they really went up on the building codes. Are going to
have inspections and all this other kind of stuff. So people are looking at six figure assessments. So in other words, they have a inspection and they might come in and assess each of these cond dough owners one hundred thousand dollars or more, and that's more than it's worth. So you know, maybe these people will bail out and go to Jared Kushner's new condos that Scott in those areas. Maybe maybe works out for him that way, But isn't that
amazing? And of course that's the government regulation that is coming in. Nobody's going to be allowed to determine what their own level of risk that they're going to accept. No, you will build it to our standards, our new standards, and kind of retroactively enact these building codes to kick people out of their homes. To me, that's one of the most outrageous things I've seen anywhere. And you're talking about Miami. Isn't that where net Ya whose son
is hiding? Yeah? Probably yeah, yeah, probably yes, as the other guys are going and fighting and dying. Yeah. And the guy now again again with genocide by the definition this is from Ah. That's the Israeli newspaper. We must settle gozen now Yahoo Ministers marched to Gaza, demand Palestinian expulsion, national Security Ministry and give called for Israel to encourage immigration, immigration
meaning pushing them out of Palestinians out of the Gaza strip. Yeah. Yeah, and of course, and of course our friend machiavellian Mike Johnson snuck in three and a half billion dollars for relocation. Is that to bring them here? You know? I mean, certainly I would not put it past them to not put a dime in our border and to spend millions or billions of dollars to bring the Palestinians here. I would think that would be absolutely he
is so America. Last, it is unbelievable what Machiavellian Mike is about. Look at this little jerk, look at this little clown boy. Again. I make the very clear. Anybody that supports the Ukraine war, the Israel war, go over there, take your wife, your kids, your transgenders, go over there and fight, take your money or shut your mouth. Yeah yeah, every politician that supports this war, go over there and fight,
or shut your mouth. Yeah yeah, yeah. When we look at we just had a listener earlier, say in Louisiana, it's become known that he is basically trying to throw away, you know, pro life issue, which is something that he's always nailed himself to right. Oh, I'm a conservative, I'm a Christian and so forth. But you know, there isn't anything that he won't do in order to win. Just like he flipped on Ukraine. He's not pro life, he's pro war, he's pro abortion.
He's the opposite of everything that he ever sold himself to be and he just flips a switch on these things, even though he nails it down and he's going to uh, he's gonna now I'm going to fund Ukraine. I wasn't gonna do that before I became speaker, but now I'm gonna fund it. But you're going to have to put money in the border. And then immediately he just flips that off too, because it's all about him winning, isn't it. You know why he was doing this. You know, I do
podcasts with Joe jansunapolatanam hm. You look at some of the stuff about this guy, about his sexual behavior and other kind of things that have happened. The Polatana made it very clear they got a lot of crap on this guy, and they have a lot of crap on all these politicians. Yeah, probably they doing what they're doing. Yeah, the FBI, the CIA, they got a lot of garbage on these garbage men. Yeah, right,
that's why they're doing what they're doing. Well, you know, you had Jaggar Hoover, he had files on everybody, and you know I had uh uh Truman talked about that as well. But oh, you look at Dennis Haster, You know, Dennis Aster at the longest Speaker of the House that they had uh for at least for Republicans. I don't know if it was for the Democrats as well, but Dennis Aster was a pedophile in wrestling coach, and they picked him to run for Congress and then they put him in
as Speaker of the House simply because he was a pedophile. Yep, yeah, yeah, I think that is absolutely the case, I think, and that's one of the reasons why, you know, we're not going to get anything solved by putting our hopes on Rome on the Potomac. I mean, it's people. It doesn't matter what what, how they dressed themselves up, how they present themselves, or all a bunch of little caliguliads up there.
I think. You know, I get I get criticized because I you know, I was raised Catholic, but the Catholic charge to me has nothing to do with what you know, Yeah about Jesus Christ. You know, where are all the priests protesting for peace? Right? Well, they're going to have the Pope's going to has done his encyclicals on the climate stuff and says today he's going to cover uh space aliens. Yeah, so to me,
the Catholic Church has declined from what Jesus Christ, you know. And I'm a warrior for the Prince of peace, just as the United States does not represent anything from our founding fathers who gave us the Bill of Rights in the Constitution. That's right. There's no relationship between then and then and now and then most religions. Again, where are the quake? Is whether you will dine an earthquake? How come they now that they're protesting Seventh day Adventists waiting
for the Eighth Day? You know? Where? Where? Where are all the religions? Oh? In God? We trust with God? Oh you're talking about the pro life. Oh I'm pro life, but I'm also pro war. What are you talking about? Yeah, yeah, exactly what are you talking about? Yeah? Yeah? And then you know where were they when they were told they couldn't meet? You know? Oh yeah, okay, let's let's shut everything down. It surely is amazing, you know what
we have seen. But you know, they're not all that way. There are some that are that are out there, but it's it is interesting see how the institutions, all of our institutions, political, religious, you name it, educational, they've all been corrupted in and a lot of this is a deliberate thing. You know. It is a strategy of the Marxists in the from the mid twentieth century on to have a long march through the institutions,
and they pretty much have done that. They've successfully marched through the institutions and taken them over from the top down. We're rotting, and it's really kind of a Marxist march that is responsible for that. I think to a large degree, they've been very successful. Look at this crap coming out that if you're against the Israel war, you're an anti summary Yeah, yeah, what are you kidding me? And as I said before, you know, how is that going to be defined. It's going to be defined by a
non governmental organization. And they've got their definition of what anti Semitism is, and so they don't even bother in their legislation to do it. They don't kick it over to a bureaucracy, which would be bad enough. I mean, Congress doesn't do their job anymore. They off to a non governmental organization, you know, foreign organization is going to tell us what we can and cannot do. Look, I'm all for them cutting all the funds to the
universities for what the universities are doing. But that's the only thing they care about. Yeah, it's true. And this is from all that Interior Department Stafford becomes first Jewish Biden appointee to publicly resign over the war in Gaza. This woman by the name a Lily Greenberg call quote, I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration amidst President Biden's disastrous continued support for Israel's genocide in Gaza. She wrote, Yeah, this is a Jewish woman.
I guess she's an anti Semite. Yeah, yeah, Well I talked about you know, the ultra Orthodox don't approve it, they don't approve of and you got nearly halving the people who don't approve of Netta. And yet what they've done is they folded in a foreign political entity and defined that as if to criticize that foreign political entity is the same as criticizing an ethnic group of people. And so you know, that's the real fundamental lie that is
there. But it truly is amazing to me that they don't have a problem with any of the other stuff that is happening in the schools that are really truly rotting our country with everything that they're doing. Whether you're talking about CRT or DEI or any of this stuff, they don't care about any of that. That's the only thing that they care about, and it truly is is beyond annoying. I am just so disgusted with a vast majority of Republicans.
You know, every congress person here in Tennessee voted in favor of that. Gerald. You know, I don't know. I mean, if there's somebody from a Constitution Party or something running for Congress, I guess I'll vote for that. Otherwise I just mark my ballot up so nobody else can fill it in because I'm not going to vote up. I'm not going to vote for any Republican who did anything like that or Democrat. It's just absolutely amazing.
Well, we're nearly out of time. I just want to remind people again that you can get trends journal use the code night to save ten percent. Excellent publication, Gerald, You've always been so far ahead of the curve, and as you point out, sometimes the stuff that you tell us is not very comforting, but you try to tell us the truth as best as you can, and you really nail it. So I really do appreciate you coming
on and always have appreciated your foresight and all of this stuff. And I'll just mention also, since we've been talking about gold and what a great investment is Tony Ardman and at Davidknight dot Gold, he set that up to take you to Wisewolf Gold. Take a look at that good way to accumulate that on a regular basis. He's got a regular buying club there. Plus he little handle larger small transactions or your IRA, any of that kind of stuff.
Because one hundred dollars gallon castleing is on its way. We don't know exactly the time, but there's going to be a lot of sticker shock that's going to be there in a lot of different areas. Thank you so much for joining Gerald, oh, and thank you and thank you for what you're doing, the great guests that you have on. Thank you, Thank you so much. Have a great weekend, Gerald, everybody else also, and hopefully we'll see you all on Monday.
