And, of course, if you want to know what he has to say, you can get Trends Journal at Trendsjournal.com, and you can use the code Knight to get a big discount there. And I think it's something like $2 a week, isn't it, Gerald? And 300 pages or so that he has there. Truly amazing. Well, it's a magazine, you know, you read what you want from high-tech science to technocracy, to geopolitics, to economics, you know, AI. You know, we give you everything you need.

And this is what makes us different than everybody, by the way. Let's talk about the Israel War. We subscribe to Ha! It's the Israeli newspaper. Pay to go there. We go to Jerusalem Post. We go to Times of Israel. We go to Wynet. What do you have to say?

Oh, we also go to Press TV, Tehran Times, IRNA, ISNA, what the Iranians have to say. Yeah. Oh, we go to Arab news. We go to Al Jazeera. We want to hear what the Arabs have to say. Oh, we go to France 24. We go to Euro News, et cetera.

We want to go to what the Europeans have to say. The Americans have to say. And then we say, this is what they're saying. This is our analysis. And this is where we see it going. So there's no propaganda. Yeah. Only the facts.

That's right. And nobody does that. Nobody gives you trends analysis and trend forecasts. You don't know how to do it. Yeah. Again, you know, I have best-selling books, Trends 2000, trend tracking. I've been at this 45 years. So, and again, you go to night and you put the link in.

It's $2.50 a week. Nothing. Yeah, it's amazing. And it's a great online format. I really like the way it's set up online. But, again, if you don't want to, you could go to a, the New York Times, the toilet paper record, this is the business section, $5 for the weekend edition.

They've gone full USA today, haven't they? There's nothing, once upon a time, it was all copied. There were no pictures. Yeah. They don't have journalists anymore. It's over. Yeah. It's finished.

The people don't have a clue what's going on. So, I'm sorry. What did you begin talking about? Would you want to... Well, you know, you picked gold as being a big investment. We've seen gold having yet another moment, another run-up into record territory. It's up 34% this year. And in just the last couple of weeks, it jumped like 2% from a Friday to Friday, as I pointed out.

And then it was like another 3% from Friday to Labor Day. And then over a 24-hour period this week, it went up another 2%. What's going on with that? And is that going to continue? What do you think? It's going to continue. Yeah. I think so because all the fundamentals are there.

I started buying gold in the late 1970s. It was $163 in hours. And it went up to $8.50 by 1980. So you had a good run right there. And as we're going on the air, it hit almost $3,600 today. Really? Wow. Yeah. And now it's, when I got off, it was like $3,582 an ounce.

Wow. Wow. The reason it spiked up again, it's very simple. They came out with the new job numbers. Did you see them? Yeah. No, I haven't seen the new job numbers, but I saw that they were going to be, they were anticipating them to be low. How low were they? Anticipating. 22,000 jobs. What? Wow. That's it.

Is that including federal jobs and government jobs? Because I remember the previous job report. I tried to make it look good, but it was, that's everything. That's including the government growing. Yeah. Wow. So initially the Dow this morning went way up. Now, as I got on the air, it was down about 300 points.

All of them in the red. All right. So here's the deal. They're going to lower interest rates. Yeah. that's why the dollar's the dollar the lower interest rates go the deeper the dollar falls gold is dollar based the deeper the dollar falls when our other currencies go up it's cheaper than them to buy gold and gold is the number one safe haven asset you know the covers of

the trends journal why in 2024 we said a golden year for gold yeah it only went up 30% that yeah yeah and we said it's gonna keep now i'm gonna tell you again when trump got elected gold prices plummeted but they were way down a couple hundred points 100 bucks and then started going up first the tariffs and then lower interest rates you only go by the facts it's not what you want what you like, what you wish. It's what is. Let's go back to, we've talked about this. And, of course, it went up. Everybody was expecting that he was going to do great things for crypto. And of course, he has with his family done great things. I think Eric Trump just had a half a billion dollar windfall from it. And it's become their primary investment. But even

on Bitcoin and crypto, he failed to meet expectations. Again, you know, it's disgusting. that they're doing this. If you were I, say, let's do our own crypto or to go nowhere. Hey, but I'm a Trump, all right? Yeah. All right? Exactly.

I'm a Trump. You're a nobody. Again, I had lunch with his brother. I told you, Robin, back in 2017. And was Sayic across the river over here. He had a restaurant. And he told me when the father died, he left the family over.

The father died, I think, in 2002, left him over a half a billion dollars. Trump's nothing more than those spoiled daddy's boy to stay with his kids. Yeah. Again, look what they're doing with Intel. We're 15% now with the government, we're in partners with them. Isn't that amazing?

This Italian guy, and it wasn't a fan of mine in the past. His name was Benito Mussolini. The merger of state and corporate powers is called fascism, all right? That's right. That's right. That's the definition. It's right in front of our eyes. That's right.

Right in front of our eyes. Oh, this is the Trump that hated crypto. Oh, everybody forgot that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, oh, Bitcoin's killing a dollar. It's terrible. This is, that guy?

Everybody's so afraid of him. And what he says, all he has to do is criticize the CEO of Intel. And all of a sudden, they're begging for an audience with him. And the next thing you know, he's taking a big share of interest in Intel. And this is a guy who couldn't run casinos profitably. What do you think he's going to do with a semiconductor company that, by the way, was, I think, one of the, if not, the worst performing of the big tech companies over the last couple of years or so. Again, it's the merger of state and corporate powers.

Yeah. The big powerful keep getting bigger, stealing our money to do it. And it's a crime syndicate. Yeah. You ready? This is the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Bitcoin mining company backed by Trump's son surges after listing. Yep. shares jumped about 17% Wednesday. Eric Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., the Bitcoin mining company and other American Bitcoin shareholders own about 88% of the combined company. What a joke. Yeah, they're saying his stake now in crypto is worth more than the value of all 13 golf course

and resort properties. That's what they're moving everything into. So now, going back to gold. With the lousy job numbers, they know that they're going to lower interest rates. The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls. The deeper the dollar falls,

the cheaper it is for other currencies, people with other currencies to buy gold. So now, the lower interest rates go, the higher inflation goes. Get ready for dragflation. Ray Dalio is calling it stagflation. Stagflation is a thing of the past. It's not going to stagnate. It's going to go down.

Inclining economic growth and rising inflation. Dragflation. He also said that he thinks we're going to have a debt-induced heart attack. And he says, he gives it two, maybe three years at the most. What do you think about that? He's 100% correct. You know, I was just on today with Gary Null. And he has a great program, Progressive Radio Network.

And he was saying that when you put in all the debt level, corporate debt and on and on, we're about $220 trillion in debt, not $37 trillion. And this is very important, too. Again, we're talking about crypto. Again, like it, hate it, you know, we've been bullish on it because of what it is, not because we like it. And now you're hearing about this, here we go, you're ready for this? This is from the Financial Times yesterday. London's bullion trade to trial digital form of gold.

The World Gold Council is seeking to launch a digital form of gold, a move that could revolutionize London's 900 billion physical market for the precious metal by creating a new way to trade, settle, and collateralize bullion. The new format would create the ability, quote, to pass gold digitally around the global ecosystem. as collateral for the first time, said David Tate, chief executive of the World Gold Council. Yeah, you're going to be careful about when they make tokens and securitization out of real assets, because we saw how that went with real estate. Is this going to be another,

how does this differ or does it differ from the ETF of gold and silver and things like that? It differs in the sense that they say it's physical and you could get it with ETF. The FFs, you know. This is important. This is very important because this could wipe out

a lot of the digital currencies that are backed by nothing. This is backed by gold. And this could be a challenge to the stable coins as well. The stable coin is backed by the currency. By the dollar, yeah. so it's not stable at all an instable coin yeah or destabilized coin there's not a coin and it's not stable but yeah here i got something i want to sell you yeah yeah it's a way for them this is

the point when i'm saying to you nobody's repeated this is very important it's just came out yesterday gold goes digital you're going to see it skyrocket You can see $10,000 gold. That's true. That's true. It's going to wipe out the other. The world is digital. As I say, they miss felt it in the King James Bible.

They say the meek shall inherit the earth. The geeks have inherited the earth. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what do you think about silver as well? I know that doesn't have the big... I'm positive on that, too. Yeah, it doesn't have the big upside of going digital, I guess.

they could do it with that as well. And then you mentioned the fact that when you pull in all of the unfunded liabilities and debt, including things like Social Security obligations and stuff like that, a couple hundred trillion dollars. But I thought it was very ominous when Doug Bergam, who's now the Interior Secretary, when he was having his confirmation hearings, he said, yeah, we've got a lot of natural resources. We've got one or two hundred trillion dollars worth of natural resources. And that's been repeated, again, by Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnik saying that they've got an idea about how they can put the $200 trillion worth of natural assets that we've got to work.

Do you think they're setting us up for some kind of a pump and dump that they're going to essentially use the crash that they set up and digital assets to collateralize it with natural resources and send those? They may try to do that. Oh, you mentioned Lutnik? You mean his son that's also in the crypto gang? Yeah. That Lutnik? Yeah, Lutnik, Knaik, Wittkoff, Jerkoff, all those guys? Yeah.

Yeah. It's amazing to me to see. We've never had anybody just openly get involved in conflicts of interest like this. And that's really what it is. Right, right. Right. Again, this crypto thing is a scam right in front of your eyes. Yeah.

Oh, hey, hey, remember this one? remember Trump and Musk we're going into Fort Knox Yeah, that's right That disappeared, didn't it? What happened? That's right.

You don't hear anything about that. I think it was a hoax. He likes to call the Epstein stuff a hoax, but I think that was a hoax. Besson has said that we've got a housing emergency. They're going to declare something about that and do something coming up this fall, he said, what do you think they're likely to do when they declare housing to be an

emergency? He said, everything is on the table. What do you think they might do about that? They've got to try to lower mortgage rates. And again, that doesn't come about by lowering interest rates. That's right. We've seen it when they lowered the interest rates to banks that the longer term interest rates for mortgages actually went up because people looked at that and so it's going to be inflationary. So I need to, if I'm going to lock in a loan, for 30 years, I need to get at a higher rate. So how are they going to do it by Fiat? Yeah, they make up any crap they want.

Again, you know, people would say, you know, I'm a futurist. Nobody could predict the future. I was totally 100% wrong when I believed two times that the markets would crash in 2012. Again, I had forecast, I took out the domain name, Panic of 08 in 2007. they didn't teach me about zero interest rate policies or a thing called quantitative easing. Right. In economics 101 at graduate school.

It made up this crap. Yeah. Modern monetary theory. All right? Got it wrong again. 2020, when they locked down the country. This is going to crash out, man. Oh, no.

We're going to bring interest rates to zero and we're going to pump in trillions of dollars of fake money backed by nothing and printed on nothing go home here's free money you know your business

here's free money oh housing prices I thought they would collapse oh they only went up 50% since then yeah I thought nobody's gonna be able

to afford to buy well the prices went up about 39% since that again they create this fake stuff yeah so that's where we're at

and it's very important to see where this is going. Here, this was, this was on Wednesday. Layoff surge nearly 40% last month with employees eliminating 85,000 excuse me, 86,000

positions. That was from Challenger Gray and Christmas. All right? Are you ready for this? Yeah. The retail sector also has been hit hard this year. Retailers have eliminated 83,656 jobs this year through August.

You ready? A 242% increase from the 24,489 cuts announced during the same period last year. Are we winning? 242% increase in firing people in retail. Oh, retail? You mean we're 70% of our genius. is consumer-based?

Yeah. I go out to get out, because I got to write about this crap, you know, every day, so I got to get my mind off. And I don't eat out that much, but I go to nice restaurants, have a little bit of this or that. Here's what I notice. Mostly older people now in the restaurants. Hardly any people that 30, 40 years old.

All older people. They don't have the. dough. Yeah. Down in the city on Sunday, down in West Village, sitting out of Hudson. Nice restaurant. Sitting outside. Beautiful day.

Beautiful day. 90% of the people walking by were dressed like crap. And probably about 70% overweight, 80%. Mm-hmm. The only thing to me that's going to change things is a renaissance. Facts don't matter. Anyway, look at, don't believe me, how about the major stories in CNN last week about Taylor Swift getting married or engaged with him?

I'm not making that up. Yeah, I know. Front page news. Yeah. Front page news. Did people, you got to. bring the spirit of the people up as I say, the only thing is going to change it as

I see it as a renaissance. Ali Ramana at Alantica, the man of the Romans and the ancients, they said to describe the work they were creating during the Renaissance. It was not like 1400? The Romans and the ancients? And again,

it followed the black plague. 60% of Europe was wiped out because of filthy sanitation. People were doing it to themselves. They brought their spirit up. Facts don't matter to people. facts don't matter we have a government now that just operates

by fiat you know it's not just that we have a fiat currency as you're pointing out you know they can come up with stimulus checks they can come up quantitative easing they can do anything and everything is being done just by fiat like a dictatorship so everything I guess is really on the table they're capable of doing anything

and since he's done that with tariffs and it's now going to be going up probably before the Supreme Court pretty quickly what do you think is going to happen, depending on which way that goes? I mean, if they support its tariffs, what do you think that's going to do? And if they shut them down, what do you think is going to happen? To the economy. They shut them down. That'll be positive for the dollar. And if they keep them going, it'll be negative. But again, you know, people hate me for this. Again,

I can't stand Trump as a person. He's genocide. He makes genocide Joe look good. And what he's doing with Israel, he's quoted, no presidents haven't done more for Israel than I have. Oh, you only got $100 million from Sheldon Aedelson, and his wife gave you, the numbers are up to almost 200 million. Yeah. Oh, you'd move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and told Israel, hey, you know, that land you stole the Golan Heights, it's yours. Yeah. Oh, and you're giving them all the bombs and to kill the slaughter people, you know. So I can't stand them on that.

And before we went on the air, we're going to talk about Venezuela, so remember to talk about that. I can't stand him for what he's doing But I agree with tariffs Because one time Yeah This is one of the T-shirts they had I've shown you this, right? Yeah

He wears slick Willie 1992 This is the guy that Get the jobs out of America Bringing him in NAFTA Yeah Get cheap labor down there in Mexico We'll make more money

All right get the jobs out of you Manufacturing jobs Just to pay higher wages Mm-hmm Mm-hmm When America made in America America. I got dishes for my aunt, Zizi, may she rest in peace. Syracuse China from Syracuse, New York. You know, all over, we were making out, we didn't have rust belts. So I'm in favor of

tariffs for that reason, but his things are different. You're bringing foreign companies in here and open the businesses, which is different than American companies owning it. That's right. He's bringing in foreign workers with the H-1B visa thing, you know. That's like, well, that's orders of magnitude worse than bringing in foreign goods to bring in people. with H-1B visas to replace American workers. Yeah. International bestseller wrote it in 1996.

Came out in 98. They held it back a year. Anyway, Bill Clinton was the guy to start the H-1B visas. The internet revolution was happening. Yeah. This is, yeah. When I was a young kid,

I remember my parents made the rest of peace, they're talking, from Italy to come here. They had a lot of problems trying to get him here. That's how tough immigration used to be. LB.J., LB. Jerkoff, the guy that gave us the Vietnam War, he was the first one that loosened the immigration laws because they're drafting all those guys

and they needed more people to come in. Then the internet revolution happens. They do the H-1B visas because they didn't want to pay the American people the money that we deserve so you get cheap labor from China, India, and other countries. That's why they did the H-1B visas. Now let's go back under the Biden administration. Flooding in with immigrants.

Why? Go to marshals, go to Target, go to any of these places outside the signs, help wanted, full-time, part-time. All over the place. They needed cheap labor. That's why they let them all come in. End the story. Yeah, that's right. And, by the way, okay, you let them come in.

Now you got this ice crap. with these masks on, like that made Hitler, the Gestapo, that'll look good. Yeah. They create the problem. You let the people come in here. Yeah. Let him stay.

All right, don't let any more come in. Fine. Yeah. But you brought them in. Now you're throwing them out. Yeah. So I'm against that. Yeah.

I'm against the masked militarized police, using the military as police and all the rest of the stuff. And it's all done to address problems that they created. But they're not addressing the problems in the right way. they're creating other additional problems that are going to come back to bite us. And that's the whole point with all this stuff. When you look at what's happening with H-1B visas, it's gotten to be so large with India that when somebody talked about that,

they said, well, you know, the Indian government started pushing back against it because there's so much money that not only are they taking American jobs, but they're sending so much money out that it's about a third. of the budget of the Indian government that is that is doing that same thing with Mexico sending so much money out of the country when they're doing that so you know he's not addressing those issues at all and you know to do this I played a couple of videos yesterday of small business owners who've absolutely they're losing their entire business because they can't make a decision because Trump can't make a

decision. His tariffs are arbitrary. They're capricious. They're on again. They're off again. And now he's got the legal fight. And these people are saying, I can't afford to bring stuff in because I don't know if all of a sudden the price is going to drop 50% after I bring it in. Or I can't even afford to pay the tariffs that Trump instantly and immediately added to that. Everything that he's doing as an emergency solution to his problems that he identifies out there. Everything that he's doing is fighting against the rule of law and creating a kind of fascist economy and also a fascist police state. And so I guess that kind of brings us to what's going on in Venezuela. One of the things that really bothered me was to see the fist bumps and all the rest of

stuff from the people who are Trump supporters about the destruction of that boat. Now, J.D. Vance was asked yesterday, what legal authority did you have to shoot first and just kill those loving people. And he says, they were terrorists. It's like, oh, they're terrorists because you say so? You didn't stop it to see if it's got any drugs. You didn't evaluate that. You just think that they're terrorists. So now you have a license to kill. Is that right? And remember, Gerald, we had a president in the Philippines, Dutarte. Remember what he did? And his war on drugs? He told the police, he said, you see somebody thinks a drug dealer, just kill him. He says, I don't care about human rights, shoot them dead. And they did. About 12,000 people lost their lives that way.

And this is the attitude of the Trump administration. And it wasn't just, it wasn't just JD Vance. It was also Rubio making a speech, talking about how there's going to be a lot more of this. And Hague Seth is saying the same thing. And it looks like this is a prelude to a couple of things. Number one, they want to go hot with the drug war. And, you know, we've had this thing's been going on for 54 years, I don't see that they're going to win this by force. It's really a spiritual issue. That's the key thing. And if force was going to work, they've done all kinds of things over the last half century. We've now got a situation where the police, if they want to take your property, they can take your property and charge it with a crime. They don't charge you.

They don't give you due process. They don't even charge you, let alone find you guilty. They just take your car or your cash or your plane or your house or whatever and then say, so sue me if you want it back. That's why they call it civil asset forfeiture. So now we're going to kill people on site because we think that they're involved in drugs or because we label them as a terrorist. I've been labeled as a terrorist by Southern Party Law Center and ADL and other people like that. And most people who have spoken out against the pandemic and other things like that have been labeled as terrorists.

You know, you're going to kill people if you tell people the truth, that type of thing. What's the matter with these people, but they can't see that? let's go back let's go back who you started with what van said yeah he said they're terrorists so if i was talking to him man to man i said why you shove your crap down your throat yeah you got it who the hell are you to say they were terrorists

that's right give me the facts that should be the attitude and it's gone and the reason it's gone because the people are lost their fight. They got no guts. You little clown. Who the hell

do you think you're talking to? Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Slaughtering these people that are how many miles away from America on a boat of nowhere and you're calling them

terrorists? That's right. Where's the proof? Show me the proof. Nope. No proof. I'm the vice president. I'll tell you what to do. I'm a little boy of nothing. Oh, the Thiel's got me there.

Oh, the Vance to change his name three times? That little clown? That little jerk! Oh, but the fields. Look how rich that guy is now. Planetia. Oh, I'm in the Trump Club. Rubio, could you get a lower piece of jerk than that guy?

Look at the clown shop. Now go back to Venezuela. They're making this crap up about a drug war. Yeah. As an excuse. That's right. Because we'll only go by the facts. Let's go back to 2019.

We're going to get rid of that guy Maduro. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. They brought in that guy, Guido, little boy in nothing. Yeah. The president. Trump said, He's the real president?

Oh, you remember that? Oh, everybody doesn't remember that, huh? Oh, you don't remember how they try to invade from Colombia into Venezuela to try to throw over the government and they lost it? Oh, the Guido, that guy, little boy? That the United States and Europe said is the official president of Venezuela? Oh, that was 2019. Oh, now they're making up this drug crap.

All this drugs are coming in because of Venezuela, so we've got to attack him. They just happen to have a lot of oil. The oil rich country, exactly. Yeah. Just a coincidence. Do you think we would have invaded Iraq if the major export was broccoli? Yeah. I agree.

Yeah. Libya. But, you know, one of the things that really bothers me is the fact that they're making this argument. I'm entitled to do it if I think he's a terrorist. And the Maga people are cheering this on. This is what I voted for. Go America, you know, all the rest of this stuff. It's absolutely sick.

Again, they're stupid. Yeah. What do I care what stupid people think? Yeah. Well, I care because it's a big group of people. They're dumber than dumb could be. You know, stop and think about the fact, let's imagine that they were to, they've got all these military assets there. Let's imagine that they stopped the ship and they searched the ship and they found that they're

running drugs. Let's say fentanyl even, right? And so then the response is that they just line. the guy is up and machine gun them down. What would people think about that? But this is even one step removed from that. They don't even bother to check to see if their hunch is correct. They just blow the people up.

Again, it's a crime syndicate. You don't ask murderers why they're murderers. Yeah. Oh, there's a little Vance calling them terrorists. Hey, what God do you believe in? All you fake little clowns that talk about your God? How about thou shalt not kill? Yeah.

Could you get that one in your head? yeah a bunch of little phony freaks in a country near you yeah well it's very important that we have due process and the the people who are under Trump's there's no process oh I know but people under Trump people under Trump are now openly contemptuous of it which is really you know it's one thing to just be apathetic when they do it but to cheer them on when they're doing it I remember when they first started talking about this Chicago, so we're going to send military troops into Chicago. And one woman said, well, I just had my carjack, and they broke my arm doing it. But I don't want the military on the streets here.

And you had all these Maga people, Trump supporters, mocking her. How stupid can you be? And it's like, how stupid can you be, pal? You want a military standing army occupying the cities? That's insane. And yet that's the kind of, that's ultimately where this war on drugs, that's been going on for half a century, ultimately where it leads domestically as well. We've got a shoot-first gang that can't shoot straight and can't win a war, but they can go in

and take over Venezuela and take the oil. And the war on drugs is an excuse for that, just like the excuse that they used saying that Canada was our main supplier of fentanyl. It's just as absurd as that, isn't it? Yeah, you're just making up this crap. Yeah. And again, there's absolutely no way that if America invades Venezuela, as a whale that we win.

We haven't won a war since World War II. And we wouldn't have won that without the Russians, but you're not allowed to say that. They were the first ones to defeat Germany. After Germany killed over 25 million Russians in Operation Barbarossa. And, oh, remember the Afghan War, the longest war in American history that we lost?

Oh, I forgot about the Vietnam War. We broke a during that time. We lost that one. Oh, the Iraq War didn't get that one either. But we figured out, Trump has figured out what the problem is, Gerald. The problem is we're called the Department of Defense. He's going to call it the Department of War because that's when we went all of our wars. That's when we were in the Department of War.

So he's got it solved. There's a picture here. This is the New York Times. I don't know if you could see that. This was the, in China they had that big military parade. Yeah, yeah. You saw the pictures, right? You see what the people look like?

No, I didn't see. The United States, they're too fat to fight. It can't get enough people because they're overweight. That's a fact. I'm not making that up. You're going to beat the Chinese $1.4 billion against $347 million? We're going to push some buttons to make it happen, right? The way we fight is the same way we do our video games.

We're just going to push buttons. Yeah, yep. And then there was an article here in the Wall Street Journal. The anti-ship missile formation was part of Wednesday's military parade in Beijing. New weapons rolled out. They talk about all these new high-tech weapons that China has. 347 million people against $1.4 billion. Look what they look like.

Look how they're trained. Look what they got. How stupid can you be to think you're going to beat them? Again, when you haven't won a war since World War II. You know, I think they want to lose this war. I think that's part of them restructuring geopolitics. They're going to get rid of the United States as a power. I think that that, you know, they might be that stupid, that arrogant, that proud, that egotistical.

Or it may be that they just want to kill us all. again China is not invading other countries they want Taiwan back Taiwan's been part of China forever except when they after the communists took it over

when they beat the I forgot the guy's name and they moved to Formosa which they used to call it back then with Thailand's I mean Taiwan's always been a part of them it's not of my business I'm an American

it's not my business anybody by the way we're having a peace rally by the way on September 27th up here in Kingston and you were kind enough to be a speaker one year Oh you were kind enough to have me 27th on Crown and John Street Go to Occupy Peace Occupypeace.com So far Judge Napolitano

Scott Ritter, Joe Laurier myself and others are going to be here we're trying to get Roger Waters to do a live Zoom with big screen-up. And so we're doing everything we can for peace. Yes. And my saying is that anybody supports a war overseas, go over there and fight, put on your costumes,

and your wife, your kids, your transgender is your money. Go over there and fight or shut your mouth. Yeah, I agree. I'm an American. I agree. And Occupy Peace. Close to 700 bases overseas in, what, 80 countries? Secure the homeland with the troops

and put the troops to work rebuilding out with third world infrastructure give him skills work progress administration 2.0 that's what occupied

peace is about you know that was one of the things remember Trump sold himself as a peace candidate yeah yeah piece of crap yeah he spells

peace P-I-E-C-E he wants a piece of Gaza he wants a piece of Venezuela he wants a piece of Syria that's the thing you know the people who cheering this, I said, yeah, finally, we've got the U.S. military being used to protect America

because they blew up that ship in Venezuela. It's like, how does that calculate? You're a moron. You don't ask why. People saying, stupid little jerks with a minus size smaller than a P. But that's the, that's the tact, they're repeating that stuff because that's the tack that now most of alternative media is pushing. We've got the big names in alternative media pushing this war, telling us that, yeah, this is one we could win. This is great. Who are some of the ones that are doing that? Well, Alex Jones is doing it.

We've got other people who are pushing this as well. There was a whole article about this on Free Thought Project, talking about how the alt media has become cheerleaders and rubber stampers for everything that Trump does. And they're now supporting these types of actions that we see happening in Venezuela. But it's very important for people to support. Occupy Peace. Make your voice heard.

And OccupyPiece.com, that's September 27th. It's a great venue up there. A nice time of year to get up there and get some cool weather, I bet. Oh, the Hudson Valley, this fall, it's gorgeous. It's beautiful up here. Well, you've got a couple of comments. One in Macs says, have faith, Gerald. Black Rock and Blackstone are buying up buildings in New York, so they know something that others don't.

What do you think about that? Of course, they're buying everything. Yeah. Again, Black Rock, Black Rock Van Garden State Street. Yeah, that's right. About 88% of the S&P 500. Wow. Wow. Look at it up. People say, I'm full of baloney.

Look up the facts. And again, when you and I were young guys, do no hedge funds. They're no venture capitalists. Yeah. You don't know private equity groups. Now they control the way. world. Yeah. Oh, who's the, who's the, who's the clown playing the Chancellor of, the new Hitler

over there in Germany? Mertz. Yeah, Fred Mertz. Where did he come from? I thought he came from I Love Lucy. Yeah, Black Rock. Black Rock, yeah. Yeah. Yep, that's right. This is the Mertz clown that's Germany, third largest economy in the world. Largest in Europe. Two years of recession going into their third, borrowing a trillion dollars to fight them Russians. We've got to build up our defense. One country after another in Europe building up their defense.

We've got to fight the Russians. How stupid? Oh, and they say it's going to build the economy up? No, it's not. It only enriches the military industrial complex. Economies are built up when the products being produced in the country are consumed by consumers.

That's when the GD comes up. That's right. This only enriches the bigs. Of course, they're not selling cars. They're getting into making weapons. Not making that up. Yeah, that's right. When all those fails...

And Volkswagen as well. Yeah, Volkswagen as well. Lance, my son says, A Lost War is just as good for the military industrial complex as a victory. Because they don't care about science. They just care about making money. All they care about.

Yeah, that's right. Well, you know, when we talk about that, we just, this week, you know, we get a lot of pushback and have for a long time you've called that for a long time you've called what's going on in Gaza a genocide and now we've had a group of scholars who study genocide who have called it genocide what took them so long to look at this and and at the same time there's articles in heretz about how reservists and the Israeli defense force who were gung ho and fighting this right after October the 7th now. as they look at what is happening here, they said, I'd rather go to jail than to go back and do that. There's a lot of pushback inside of Israel that doesn't get

much coverage here in America, isn't there? Yeah, there's some, but it's not a lot from what I know. I have Israeli friends, and most people, they don't care. They don't like the war, but they don't care about the slaughter of the Palestinians.

Yeah. And again, they demolished Gaza. This is a Holocaust. Right? in front of your eyes that's right two million people two million people two million people totally destroyed totally destroyed bomb the whole place into ruins where is the outrage yeah and starving people where all you quakers what you're dying at earthquake where are you 7th day adventists when you're waiting for the 8 day oh the Mormons the latter day

says you may be a very later day where are you? Oh the Pope doesn't like you the Pope is saying hey Popey a Pope rather than putting on your Chicago white socks hat on and go to gate why don't you go to Gaza and stop it? Yeah. Why don't you

shut up, Salenti? I'm just another guy who played another role of crap. Where are they? Where are they? If all these religious got out to the street and saying, stop this war, this is against everything of the God that we believe in, but it would end like that. It would end like that. That's right. But pass the

basket, give me money so I could dress up on my costume and repeat the same stupid crap every week. Yeah. I've had it with it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no moral concern at all about this. And that was one of the things about Western civilization. Why are we? had declarations of war, why we had uniforms from the military so that you could distinguish between combatants and civilians. All that stuff went out the door in World War II, and now civilians are the key target in all these wars. And also, the thing that makes it an unjust war is the fact that there is no interest in ending it. They want it to be perpetual. And that's been our standard policy since World War II. Just perpetual war. We don't care. We don't seek

to end the war. Always in the past, you know, going back to Augustine and the core value of Western civilization and tried to impose some moral restraint on war when it happens was, yes, you can defend people if you're attacked, but your purpose is to cease the hostilities and to try to avoid killing civilians. And now they do exactly the opposite. They seek to prolong it. They seek to target civilians. there's no outrage That's right Trump comes out this week

You're talking about the people You know With Trump with Venezuela Oh you're happy They kill a couple of people On a boat Yeah How come you're not

How come you're not talking About the mass murder Of the Palestinian people Oh and by the way They went Trump ban The guy from coming to the UN Mm-hmm The Palestinian guy

Yeah Trump banned Banned people with Palestinian Passports to come to America? Yeah. Trump banned these kids that are seriously wounded for the Israelis slaughtering and bombing them to ruins to come into America for medical care?

Mm-hmm. How about if they did that for Israelis? How about if we banned Israelis? Oh, my God, how terrible. Oh, my God. The Palestinians are so okay. You're only ours. They don't count.

Well, now Netanyahu is on a mission to do global censorship because he said, you know, that we're not winning the propaganda war. war. And so we have to shut speech down everywhere. So they're attacking not only our free speech, but globally attacking free speech. Trump says that Israel had total control over Congress. This is the second time he's done that. And of course, what does he do, Gerald? He comes out and he says, nobody's really on their side except for me. Why does he just say, send me money? Right? That's all he's doing is he's begging for more money to do their bidding, isn't he? Yep. Yeah, he said nobody's them more for Israel than I have. Yeah. And he says nobody's doing anything for them now,

yeah, except for me. But I'll do everything. And again, everybody get this straight. It's get back to work, pay your taxes so they could steal your money and give it to Israel. All right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I'm stealing your money for this war. So shut the hell up. Here, you ready? For Middle East Monitor yesterday. International organizations, excuse me, hold it. Um, Middle East News. You and Google under fire for $45 million deal with Netanyahu's office to spread Gaza genocide propaganda. Did you hear about this?

No, I didn't hear that. Google signed a $45 million contract with the Israeli Prime Minister's office to run a global digital advertising campaign, promoting Israel's state messaging during the online. ongoing genocide in Gaza. The contract first reported by DropSight News includes advertisements placed on YouTube and through Google's display and video 360 platform explicitly described in government documents as part of the Israel's propaganda war. Signed in June 2025, the contract with Google covering YouTube and display and video 360,

company's digital ad service, authorized an extensive propaganda campaign labeled explicitly as Hasbada, his Hebrew term, donating stakeback propaganda, often deployed to whitewash Israel's military action. One of the most widely viewed output puts on the campaign was a YouTube video by Israel's foreign minister, false claiming there is food in Gaza any other claim

is a lie the view the ad was viewed by over six million times heavily boosted through paid

promotion under government contract yeah three million dollars on advertising with X 2.1 million

with outbrained treads of French one on and on and on all the money they're spending on propaganda. Wow. Yeah. These people won't even let me on YouTube.

They take this money for propaganda. They work actively as propagandists for Israel, just like they did act as propagandists for the so-called pandemic. You know, Gerald, not only did they kick me off, but they did it again when I went independent. And I waited about a year or so, and then I created a channel that I was just going to put music up. And I put up Christmas music that I did. And they left

it up for about five months and then they shut that channel down as well. I can't even put Christmas music up. But Netanyahu... They blacklisted me from Facebook. I'm on Facebook. Yeah. But, you know, Google is, you know, it's a search engine that is designed to hide

things like me and the truth about what happened in 2020 and what's going on right now in Gaza. That's what they were created for. That's why they got the backing of Incutel and these other venture capital firms that had all these NSA and CIA people on their board of directors. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's what this thing has been said. It's got fascism, by definition. Yeah. It's gone. We need a new third party. Yeah.

You know, the person I want to see is president, by the way, is Judge Andrew Napolitano. Nobody knows the Constitution of Bill of Rights. And what we need is that we need a third party of we the people. Mm-hmm. Read the preamble to the Constitution. We're the people of the United States. Yeah. It's about us. Yeah. They got a bunch of clowns.

Like you said, you said the pandemic, and you used the word to describe it. I forgot what, how'd you say it? I don't know. It's fake. It wasn't a pandemic. It wasn't a pandemic. It was fake news. Yeah.

Here, they called it a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization or horror organization, I think. when the grand total of 4,219 people died out of 8 billion. Yeah. They call that a pandemic. Yeah. And then when Trump. They made kids stay home from school.

There are 73 million one to 17 year olds in America. Under 2,000 died of COVID. At a 73 million. Mm-hmm. And according to the CDC, 61% of those hospitalized were obese. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

They died. If you look at the damage they've done to the young people, their minds are all screwed up from this. And by the way, before we close out, get ready for the dot-com bust. China's going to take over the world in AI, and they've over-invested in these American companies. Trends are born, they grow,

they mature, reach old age, and die. AI is only three years old. You don't invest all your money in the first companies. Yeah. Again, Bill Clinton, before China came in, the World Trade Organization, there were 10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college now, almost 70% to. And young people are totally AI addicted, high-tech addicted, they're going to lead the world in this. There's going to be a dot-com bus 2.0. I agree.

Yeah, it's going to be focused on the company that has shot up astronomically in VIDIA, but it's going to spread to everything when that bubble. busts, isn't it? Yep. Yeah, absolutely. Well, it truly is amazing to see how all this stuff is rolling out. And Trump is, is proud of the fact that he bombed Iran for Israel. He fessed up to that as well when he was saying that they can't rely on anybody anymore except for me, but they've been pretty good to me because, you know, it's just this kind of this rat line, isn't it? They take our tax money, they give it to Israel, and then they give him kickbacks. That's the way this thing works. It kind of reminds me, Gerald. Shelden Adelson gave $100 million. His wife up to $200 million. Yeah. Marry Nadelson. Yeah. It's like what we were saying about the

crypto. Jared Kushner's son-in-law. Yeah. It's like what we were saying about crypto stuff earlier. Trump just does this out in the open in front of everybody. That's a comedy routine from Dave Chappelle where he said that about Trump years ago. He said, this guy is just amazing. He goes, he comes out of this place where all these elites are, you know, doing all of this skull and bone, you know, dirty stuff. And he comes out and he tells you, you know what these guys are doing? It's awful. Let me tell you what they're doing inside there. And then he goes right back in and he joins them again. And that's basically what Trump is doing. He brags about the things that we used, that used to be the end of somebody's career, you know, the betraying us for another country. and also the conflicts of interest that he's got in the crypto, the corruption that's there.

But he can brag about the corruption that's going on, and it's just dismissed as, oh, he's a great investor, isn't he? Because he's running these scams. I just don't see any end to it with him, do you? You know, I'm concerned about war. That's my greatest concern. Yeah. And that's how I see the end coming.

he's out of his mind freak and again we're talking about Venezuela what the hell we involved in this thing for? Oh they're bombing like Somalia I think 57 times Somalia? Most people could never find it on the map but he wants his

Nobel Peace Prize and Nobel Peace of Crap prize It was kind of interesting in the hearing yesterday Cassidy set up RFK Jr because RFK Jr. was criticizing the MRA a vaccine and some other things like that. So then he talks about Operation Warp Speed

and Cassidy talks about how many lives were supposedly saved and all the rest of those nonsense. And then he says, Operation Warps Speed was great, wasn't it? Don't you think that Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for that? And you saw that, right? Kennedy jumps and says,

oh yeah, he just completely undermines everything that he said about the vaccines and about M RNA. And of course, the MRA continues to get more of these things are authorized, these genetic code injections are being authorized left and right as we speak. I don't really see anything happening with the so-called Maha stuff. Again, Trump was very smart by bringing Kennedy,

and that's one of the reasons why he won. Yeah, that's right. The Kennedy people that were going to vote for Kennedy voted for Trump. A lot of the stuff that's there, as I said earlier in the program, Kennedy said that he's there to reestablish trust in the institution. And the institution of the CDC and all these types of things. Tulsi Gabbard has said the same thing about the intelligence agency. This whole thing has been a scam. They brought, the people who brought Trump in and set him up in power, did it to establish trust. Kennedy and Tulsi were set up to establish trust.

And that's the saddest thing about it, as I see so many people that are truly trusting in Trump. And a lot of it is coming from the new alternative media that is out there, grifting people. time to trust the plan. That's absolutely it.

They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man is simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.

But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
