All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Gerald Slenty. As I said before we left, nothing much has happened. Last time I talked to Gerald was the day before the shooting in Pennsylvania. And you think about all the things that have happened in the last couple of weeks. Welcome back, Gerald. Great to have you. Well, thanks for having me.

we don't we you know we don't take sides on this stuff. Yeah, that's stupid. Kamala Harris, 2024. The Trends Journal's May 2022 trend forecast. The Trends Journal had forecast that Joe Biden would step down and Kamala Harris would run for president in 2024. And we now forecast, minus a wild card, such as a stock market crash, Harris will beat Donald Trump in the race for the White House.

This was our May 17, 2022 trend forecast. Kamala Harris has aspirations to be president of the United States, and she knows that her boss is an unpopular president who is 79 years old. She wants to be the party standard bearer and needs to start making a name for herself if she hopes to run for president again. Being that the Biden administration is viewed as ineffective in bringing down inflation and strongly boosting the economy, you ready? Remember, this is why you subscribe to the Trends Journal.

This is May of 2022, over two years ago. Harris will seize upon abortion rights because there seems to be only two things that she can use to unite her front. Ukraine war, support and pro-abortion. Again, it's not what you want, what you wish, what you believe in, it's what is. Yeah, that's right. And again, you look at the data,

it's NBC News noted the Public Policy Research Institute, again, this is from our Trends Journal of just two weeks later ran a national poll in February that found 64% of Americans think abortion should be a legal right in all or most cases which is an increase in 55% in 2010 now listen very important the poll was broken down by political affiliation it found 87 percent of democrats 65 percent of independents and 37

percent of republicans say abortion should legal. So you go by the numbers. Let's go back to the midterm elections. Again, we wrote about this as it was happening. That's why we have these articles. This is during the midterm election. We had also forecast that despite Joe Biden's low approval rating during the 2022 midterm elections, the Republicans would lose the opportunity to have a strong House majority, which they did because of their anti-abortion platform. And that Kamala Harris, as the Democratic Party heir, in quotes, again, we wrote this in 2022,

would seize upon the opportunity, which she did. In our 24 May 2022 Trends Journal, we wrote in our trend post, quote, Harris no doubt is thrilled to finally have a topic that resonates with the Americans who are growing increasingly frustrated with the Biden administration the newly released CBS News YouGov poll found that nearly eight in ten voters say conditions in the U.S. are going somewhat or very badly and 56 percent disapprove of how biden is handling his presidential duties all right so i'm going to stop at that before i go forward look at all the people that were disgusted with biden in 2022 this forgotten why did the republicans not do well in the midterm elections because of the abortion issue simple as that again we're the only ones talking about this we're the only ones talking about it back then i'll go on these numbers do not bode well for Harris, who is theoretically is heir to the Democratic Party.

So she's latching on to a topic that resonates with single issue voters and core constituencies. And there is no better single issue than abortion. Gerald Cilenti has long said that when all else fails, they take you to war. Electoral politics and Democrats going into the midterm elections, that saying could be edited. When all else fails, they bring up abortion rights.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A war against babies. Yeah. And you know, that's the thing. I agree with you because you look at what Trump has done.

It's not, it's not what you want, what you wish for, what you hope it's what it is. And I've said this because, you know, that's what Trump said. He said, look, we lost the same thing you just said. We lost big time and the midterms even when the economy was not doing well and it should have been a big red wave. He said, we lost because of the abortion issue. But I think they lost on the abortion issue because they're unable and unwilling to defend it. That's a key part.

And when we look at Trump, he's running as hard as he can. I agree with your analysis because you look at what he did with the RNC, and they completely removed that, as well as guns, which is another one of her big issues is firearms. And she may wind up putting in Gabby Gifford's husband, Mark Kelly, big gun control thing. So she runs on gun control and she runs on abortion, and they're running hard away from those issues. They don't want to defend those issues they don't know how to defend those issues but they don't want to they pulled him out of the platform indicating and trump did the platform indicating he doesn't know how and doesn't want to defend on those issues and so if you got somebody as you point out there's already a big

constituency in favor of abortion. And if he isn't going to take that head on and lead, if he's going to try to be a wet his finger and stick it in the air type of politician, he's going to just run from those things. And it's going to be a slaughter on those issues like that. I agree with you. Here's more about Trump. This is what we said. Again, this is the special trend alert.

We go, a political atheist, Salenti said, it's not what you want, what you wish for, what you believe in. We're trend forecasters. It's what is. And this is what we wrote. When Trump picked J.D. Vance as VP, Salenti, again, who worked on major political campaigns

in Westchester County, New York, was assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate and taught political campaign technology course at St. John's University, said Vance was a bad choice because, number one, this is what I said before this, this is when I just picked him. Trump won Ohio big.

What the hell you're getting a guy that you're from a state where you won big from, you got to get somebody from a swing state that you need. So that was the first mistake. Then we go on to say that um and now making a bad situation much worse cilenti said that quote vance being so anti-abortion and pro-life is going to make them lose the presidential election indeed vance has been highly criticized for his recent comment calling women without children, quote,

a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they made, and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too end quote yeah how stupid can you be to say this stupid crap even if it's true you don't say this stuff yeah i know and then we go and on the trump side of abortion according to his previous statements harris will blast him for his stance remember indeed this is why you subscribe to the trans journal as we wrote in our 30 may 2023 trends journal quote trump has called quote, the most pro-life president in America, in American history, and his Supreme Court appointments overturned Roe versus Wade.

Trump took credit for, quote, killing the law, And quote, that had been in place for 50 years, quote, after 50 years of failure with nobody coming even close, I was able to kill Roe versus Wade, much to the shock of everyone. Trump posted on Truth Social. Without me, there would be no six weeks six weeks 10 weeks 15 weeks or whatever is finally agreed to without me the pro-life movement would have just kept losing so there you got it yeah and and he knows that because in the debates he says well i'm all about the exceptions and you know fortunately we have it so the states can do that isn't going to sell uh that isn't he he can't if he can't make a principled defense uh if he's gonna he boasts about it but he's never going to be able to make a principled defense about anything because the guy doesn't have any principles and so he's not going to

make a principled defense of saving babies lives he's not going to show the the video he's not going to he could do it he could do it as part of the national ads because he's not going to show the the video he's not going to he could do it he could do it as part of the national ads because he's running for office he could show pictures of aborted babies but he's not going to defend the process he's going to run from it and um we all know what happens in a battle if you turn around and run you get shot in the back right that's that's what's going to happen to him it's going to be big time. Really is. I think I agree with you. And by the way, the reason we wrote back then about Harris running and being anti pro-life, your body, your choice. We also went on to write about what hypocrisy was spewing out of a mouth. Yeah.

Oh, your body, your choice. But you got to get that vaccination. That's right. That's right. You got to get that vaccination. You don't have a choice, but you got to get that vaccination. That's right. That's right. You got to get that vaccination. You don't have a choice. Oh, women only have a choice. I'm a man.

I don't have my body, my choice. Screw you, Solanti. Right. Screw you. You better take that jab. No jab, no job. That's right. And all you people in the military, you don't get that jab.

You're out of here and all you companies with over 100 employees you don't get that jab all right what hypocrisy that's why we wrote this again we're political atheists we don't take sides what we wrote about this nobody said nobody anywhere anyplace yeah but see trump is not going to make that argument trump won't make that right you know he could he could not nail that with that argument you you mandated this you know with the mask you mandated it with the lockdowns and the social distancing and then you mandated we put an experimental uh poison into our veins uh and you want to talk about women's health let's talk about everybody's health but he's not going to say that because he's got to you know he doesn't want to attack his own shot that he's

so proud of he's finally stopped talking about that but now he can't come back and make that argument he won't make it let me ask you this um yeah let me ask you this so on his side now what he's trying to do he's trying to uh make an outreach and he's done pretty well uh with the crypto people i think he addressed a big crypto convention in nashville yesterday that tony hartman was at uh but you know he wants to i'm all pro crypto and all the rest of this stuff and so he's making all these uh moves to big tech and of course that's the one thing that jd vance is um you know all the all these alliances with the big tech people so a lot of big tech and of course that's the one thing that jd vance is um you know all the all these alliances with the big tech people so a lot of big tech people for him and israel is for him

is that going to be enough for him to uh to pull this thing through that seems to me like it's his only card that he's got nothing yeah nothing yeah it's nothing people nobody else said this is from cnn yesterday harris blast trump vision as one of chaos fear and hate in fiery teachers union speech she's talking at the teachers union right and they go on to say harris contrasted her agenda ready for the first thing of abortion rights first thing first thing number two you ready lg LGBTQ, as you mentioned, gun control, the support for organized labor, and student loan debt relief.

Okay, so let's just take those abortion rights. The numbers are there. The majority of women are pro-abortion. And the majority of Democrats and the majority of independents. People would not have gone out to vote for Biden.

The hate Trumpers are now going to go out to vote for Harris. He is going to win over the LGBTQ, XYZ, all of these. She's going to win over the LGBTQ XYZ all of these she's gonna win them over it's you got to do the numbers the people that believe on the Trump side are a smaller population and this other side

and by the way the the the gun control the hypocrisy of that oh gun control for america but hey where's more weapons for ukraine weapons to go slaughter people more weapons for the military industrial complex but you're not allowed to have a gun that's right yeah again, we call it like it is. We just put the facts down. Well, and you know, okay. So last time we talked two weeks ago, the next day, there's a shooting of the Trump rally. Then we had the Republican national convention. Then there was the crowd strike thing. Now we've got the resignation of Biden and the anointing of Lala Harris.

Like I said, nothing much has happened since we last talked but let's talk about that other thing too the crowd strike thing because you know when we talk about the elections uh we should uh look at the fragile infrastructure we should look at the political connections i think of crowd strike and the rest of the stuff and understand that if it's even close i think these people will rig it you know that's the other aspect of it what do you think they've been rigging it forever you know like if somebody they said to me they rigged the the trump election by the way which i think they did i was on david uh what's his uh not david you're david knight uh on um uh what's the guy's name usa watchdog gregory greg hunter hunter yeah and i was we're doing the whole

2020 we're doing the election results he had all the screens up it was trump like this and biden under him all of a sudden 120 000 writing ballots come in yeah out of like wisconsin and michigan and not one for trump yeah that's right out of 120 000 i mean what are you talking to so i believe it was rigged yeah but let's go back remember the hanging chads from the republican side when they screwed what's his name agor out of the election in florida yeah it's a crime syndicate that people are calling a government. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we saw that with the JFK election and they had voting machines. Then we saw it being scammed with hanging chads and being scammed with electronic voting machines as well as vote by mail and all those ballot things. So they always come up.

My take on it is I feel like, you know, if it's a runaway election or if they've got a particular guy they want in, they'll go with it one way or the other. But if it's kind of close, they usually have their hooks into both of these guys, both of the candidates one way or the other. You go back and you look at when Clinton got in running against George H.W. The thing then was NAFTA. And the wild card was Ross Perot. But the Republican and Democrat, both of them wanted to have NAFTA. And so they fixed it so they didn't have any more wild cards. And you go to the 2012 election, you've got Romney and you've got Obama. And they both want Obamacare.

And Romney had already done it in Massachusetts when he was governor he did it with Ted Kennedy and so you know they usually get there's usually some key issue that the powers that be want to get through and they find a Republican and a Democrat who are going to both be there on that issue but if it's something that they really if it's close they can you know put their thumb on the scale and tip it one way or the other and there is a real competition and there is real corruption that is going on between these guys over this game of thrones both of them you know want to it to some degree it is like professional wrestling but there's a real competition where they both want to sit on that throne yeah you're 100 right yeah so uh the other uh go ahead no i was going to say you know we also said

that um um that this whole thing had been set up for a long time again we wrote about it in 2020 this whole thing it's one of the trademarks that we own is called Presidential Reality Show. This is just a movie. It's all it is. They had the script written a long time ago. Yeah, that's right. Again, we wrote back in 2022. Biden was 79 back then, and the people said he was out

of his mind back then. People forget this. That's right. They played the game. They did the June 18th, or the June whatever it was, not the 18th, but the June debate to show that Trump was incapable. They never do debates in

June. They begin them in later September. You mean Biden? Biden, yeah. Biden, excuse me. capable they never do debates in june they begin them in later september you mean you mean uh biden biden yeah biden yeah excuse me yeah i did it moved it up by three months moved it up before either the nom either the people were nominated so they would have the time to do this i called it wagging the biden because it really does remind me of wag the dog david mamet did a great screen play of that and they keep changing the narrative and adjusting it slightly on the fly it is just like that movie it truly is amazing isn't it exactly and and what happened was then they did it perfectly timing you were talking about before the republican convention trump was flying high after that convention again look at the facts yeah flying high they waited till after

the convention for biden to say he's not running and kamala harris is the nominee that's right they timed it perfectly and it's all gonna be about that and everybody will forget all the other stuff that happened with trump. Exactly. That's right. Exactly. They knew exactly what they were doing and they played out that time from after the debate to the Republican convention.

They played the game. Well, Biden's family wants him to stay in. Biden won't quit. I won't stop. Biden has a discussion with polo they played that game it's a movie it's a reality show it's a sitcom they had it played out perfectly and the fact that they would uh that this is all played out to put her in position because notice how everybody coalesced very quickly, had all the leadership, including past presidents like Obama, all of them jumping behind Lala Harris.

And now they're talking about the coronation part of this, which had already been talked about, but had been mentioned. mentioned well we may need to do this you know because we first of all not only did they move the debate up three months earlier than usual but they moved the convention to later than the deadline and so they said well because it's later than the deadline even though ohio and some other places said that they will give us an exception we can't trust that so we're going to have to do the nomination virtually and so that's what they're going to do. They're going to quickly push her in before anybody, even even the Democrat insiders state by state, because these are people who work very, you know, they're part of the Democrat establishment in each of these states. That's who gets to go these conventions. That's who the delegates are. But they're shoving these people aside, just like in the past when Hillary Clinton was running against Sanders. They shoved them aside for the superdelegates. These are the people who were the not just the party operatives, but they were the people at the very top and they weren't accountable to anybody. And so it's going to be these superdelegates who are now going to run this show and run her through.

And it's all going to be, you know, there's going to be this. It's going to be all Lala Harris for the next couple of months. Yep, for the next 100 days. Here we go. This is from the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Harris moves swiftly

to secure nomination. And then what you just said you ready? By Monday evening, the vice president had enough pledge delegates to secure the nomination. So she already got it. Yeah. Yeah.

And they're not putting anything up for chance at the convention. They're going to do it all. It's gone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now she's playing the cards again. That slime ball.

What's his name? Uh, then Yahoo spoke to the Congress yesterday and spoke to the Congress yesterday. And the article in the Wall Street Journal said that Netanyahu displayed his penchant for intervening in U.S. politics honed over decades,

delivering pointed jabs at Democrats and sometimes, you're ready lavishing praise on trump lavishing praise on trump he thanked biden blah blah blah blah and he but he goes on that says that you know trump is the person for him now what happens to trump trump claims camilla harris is totally against jewish people now go to cnn right now and here's one of the front page stories. Harris says she will not be silent on Gaza's suffering while telling Netanyahu to get ceasefire deal done.

Brilliant. Yeah. Brilliant. Brilliant. Yeah. brilliant yeah yeah brilliant yeah let me ask you about the other let me ask you about the other war the ukrainian war because um with uh everything that was happening with trump i think zolinski uh started talking about well let's end this war here uh so he can do it maybe on more favorable terms or whatever. What do you think is going to happen with a President Lala in Ukraine? Same as what's going on now with the murderous Democrats. So, by the way, as I say to the people that are anti-abortion, killing a baby in the womb of a mother how come you support wars

they had to kill babies but okay to kill wars all you all you oh oh the vance who said about this thing the vance that said quote we have to punch iran hard Oh yeah. Yeah. I played that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, but don't, but what hypocrisy, what hypocrisy? That's right. Death is death. Either side.

That's right. But now we can kill anybody we want. Matter of fact, have more kids so we could get them and put them in the military to go kill people and get killed. How about that? Yep. Yeah.

Yeah. The people are pro-life. they've got that hypocrisy there about war just like the people who call themselves pro-choice they got that hypocrisy there about the medical mandates and coercion yep yep exactly there again you know this this is so important what i just read to you about what this headline said, about Harris saying she will not be silent, that's a quote, on Gaza's suffering, because there's been silence about it. And her husband's Jewish. They can't tell her, it ain't going to go anywhere. Yeah, there's going to be that faction that can't stand her, but she's going to have the majority. She's going to win the majority.

I'm going to tell you, this election, again, minus a wild card, like a market crash. Again, nobody could predict the future. There are too many wild cards, whether they be made by humans or nature. Minus a wild card, she will will be trump big it won't be close interesting you know it was uh right after when trump is riding the momentum wave and everything after the shooting after the convention uh it was said by the wall street journal uh which as you pointed out is five dollars a day uh it was said that musk was going to drop in 45 million dollars per month that's going to be 180 million dollars between

now and the election and that sat there for a few days now it could be that the wall street journal got this wrong it was a you know it was a source close to musk they said, an anonymous source. So it could be they got it wrong. This person got it wrong, and they relied on that information. Or do you think perhaps maybe Musk changed his mind? It's, you know, there's been a big change in this. So do you think they got it wrong? Probably not. Again, look at what you just said.

How much a month? Yeah, 45 million. 45 million. Hey, Musk, how about sending 45 million to our Occupy Peace Movement? That's right. How about the billionaires sending, what is it? This election will probably be about a billion dollar run on each side. Oh, probably more than that.

Democracy. Yeah. They call this a democracy. Look at the clowns that are running the show. The rich. Oh, we got to hear. I got to hear the crap spewing out of must mouth. Gates mouth.

Buffett's mouth. Maisel's mouth. But your mouth doesn't count. You're not a robber baron you don't have any rights in this country shut your mouth you gotta listen to musk yeah what the hell do i care what this guy says yeah they're running the country. We're nothing more than plantation workers of slavelandia. Period. Paragraph. Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel as well.

Peter Thiel. Yeah. And these guys, people are still trying to come to terms with what these technocrats are and what they want. And it is horrific. And when you look at the fact that Teal, who really has made J.D. Vance, is the guy who's behind Palantir, the guy who's behind Androil, a drone weapon system that is there that they may use on the border. do anticipatory intelligence and geospatial intelligence to determine what we're going to do before we do it, to identify everybody, to data mine all of these surveillance cameras that they've got everywhere. It truly is horrific when you look at both sides of this stuff. I mean, I certainly don't have a dog in this fight when we look at it. I'm not voting.

I won't vote for anybody. No, I mean, they're horrible. I haven't voted for president. No, I mean, they're horrible. It's just I haven't voted. I haven't voted for president since Ron Paul in 2012. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Again, you're talking about the geeks giving all this money to Trump who plays the baloney game of being for freedom and no surveillance. Mm hmm.

And which side of the tail is the teal on? You know, I mean, come on. Mm hmm. Look at this clown show that's going on. Look at them. Look at them. And again, the banksters are on the on the and the Democrats side. They're dumping.

Look at Kamala Harris got what? A hundred million dollars in a day. In a day. And you got Trump saying wonderful things now about larry fink so i guess instead of if he were to get in a second time instead of it being a goldman sachs administration it would be a blackrock administration big difference right big difference oh remember that guy he brought in what was the treasury secretary what was that guy yeah cohen no no not cohen um oh mnuchin mnuchin was the steve mnuchin from Mnuchin was the Steve Mnuchin from Goldman Sachs. Yeah.

Yeah. The Mnuchin that the banksters that when the crash happened in 2008, when people losing their homes, they started foreclosing on everybody's homes. Yeah. And did a load of scams with that. Oh, that Mnuchin. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Same guy who said, you know, after they give people a thousand or $1,200 stimulus check. Oh, we can't do that again. Even after six months. Right. That'd be too much. It truly is amazing.

This is also the Trump that gave the big corporations big tax breaks and sold the crap that. They were going to use the money for capital improvements. It's 2017, 2018 biggest year of stock buybacks ever. And according to the tax policy center, the 1% got 64% of Trump's tax cut benefits. Yeah. Yeah.

Oxfam or off cam. i think it's oxfam his name is this organization in the uk just said there was a 42 trillion dollar transfer of wealth to the one percent of the last 10 years yep we know exactly how that works by the way my son travis said if trump couldn't stop him stealing the election when he had power how is he going to stop him now that he doesn't that's absolutely true yeah we look at the corruption and we look at the issues and everything is not um it looks like this whole thing has been planned out and played if it was if the people were not so disgusting uh you could actually admire how calculating they were how well this was planned isn't it yeah yeah i'm telling you the whole the whole thing. And the Republicans made a mistake by running Trump again.

Yeah. Because of the hate value. This guy, people hate his guts. Well, you know, I honestly, I look at it and, you know, there was no discussion of any issues and everything because everybody gave Trump this martyr status. And who gave him that martyr status you know you had some of the people like james carville and many people even republicans and stuff saying hey this is working out trump liked it he he's uh he's egging the judges on yeah give

me another fine that makes me look like more of a victim i love that so you know james carville saying what are you guys doing that's that's uh only helping them and everything because he's kind of out of the loop now, right? And so the honest, everybody understands that that was helping him. And they just continued on with it. But what it was, all of that lawfare was really to push all the other Republicans out to make sure they got Trump. They wanted to run against Trump. They got Trump.

Yep. That's amazing. Wealth of global top 1% grew by $42 trillion over the past decade, Oxfam. Yeah. Exactly what you were saying. Now, this is an article from the day before

from the Financial Times. United Nations criticizes, quote, shamefully higher hunger levels. That they're looking to look about the report that the U.N. report that almost 600 million people will be undernourished within the next couple of years. So what's important about this the richer getting richer everybody else is getting poorer but again here's what we do as trend forecasters you have deep poverty around the world people are going to do everything they can to escape

countries with a lack of basic living standards government corruption crime violence you think you got a migration problem now yeah you haven't seen anything yet oh that's right yeah you haven't seen anything yet you know when i'm sorry go ahead now go on when i saw that article about um the the massive transfer of wealth they were taking that information that's coming out of oxfam in the uk and they were using that information uh at least the labor party was using it to argue um really for confiscating the um increased equity in the middle class and their homes they said this has been a windfall tax because when you look at that massive transfer of wealth, they start talking about a wealth tax.

We've got to have a wealth tax. That's the only way we're going to pull this thing back. And at the same time they're doing that, the Labor Secretary says, when you look at the prices of houses and how they've gone up since the lockdown and all the rest of this stuff, he said that's a windfall profit, and we need to pull that out somehow. We've got to tax that out. So that's one of the ways that they're going to use that envy, that jealousy of what this really is, is corruption. And people's houses going up on paper because they're not unable to sell them because of the interest rates and because of the economy. But the houses going up on paper is going to be used by some of these people like it's already being used by this labor official to say, now we got to pull that wealth out of these homes.

It's not fair. And there's going to be a lot of people going to buy into that because the younger generation doesn't have the ability to buy into a home anymore because of the high interest rates and the high prices. So they're going to say, yeah, anything you can do to bring the price of that stuff down. It's going to be rolling out many things like this. They're going to be able to control the crowds in the same way that they've orchestrated all this political stuff. They're going to orchestrate these narratives to make sure that they confiscate the wealth of the middle class, I think.

And like you said, the younger people are going to support it because they have nothing, and that goes back to the election. She's going to get the younger people to vote. Yeah, they got that generational warfare card that they can play as well as all of these different, you know, one group against the other, you know, the dividing Congress stuff. And on the tax group, we should be taxing the billionaires 90% tax rates like they used to have back in the in the in the 1950s except they pay a half a percent because they've got their lawyers

to write the exceptions for them they're never going to tax these billionaires they will always buy a politician to get an exception yeah a guy's worth what 140 billion dollars what are you kidding me but you know they're brilliant guys because they're going to take the money with them when they die they're going to build these huge caskets and put all the money in there when they die they're going to be able to take it how disgusting they are not a penny for peace in the billionaires that's right if the billionaires gave occupied peace a billion dollars we'd have peace on earth next week if the billionaires all put a billion dollars in for peace we'd have peace tomorrow but their pieces of crap they don't want to give anyone that's right yeah they don't they

they don't contribute to a campaign they invest in a politician oh yeah they own money out there yeah they own the politicians these little clowns you buy them out for nothing yep that's right best return on investment you can get. You know, maybe Elon Musk, he's moved in a big way to Memphis. Maybe he's got his eye on that pyramid there that they're currently using for a retail store. Maybe he could store all of his stuff there in that pyramid and go out and be buried like some kind of a pharaoh or something. Maybe that's what he's planning. Of course, he's not planning on ever dying.

He's going to transfer himself, whatever he thinks he thinks he is he's gonna transfer it into a robot and that's that's what he thinks maybe he's gonna live on mars i don't know what he's gonna do you know on the economic front by the way uh to get onto that you know we've been bullish on gold it was one of our top trends for 2024, golden year for gold. And gold is up, it's almost up $400 since we made that forecast. And it's going to keep rising. They're going to be lowering interest rates. And particularly with Harris, they're going to try to do everything they can to boost the economy.

So the lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls and the higher gold prices go up it's as simple as that yeah yeah and what's also as i said there's wild cards that could crash the economy and the big one is the banks going bust they're barely reporting on it we've been warning about this since may of 2020 of the office building busts when they force people to work at home. You're looking in the United States at an office vacancy rate of 50%, according to Castle Systems, 50.1%. Vacant, occupancy rather. Vacancy rates are about 20%.

Vacant. San Francisco, 34.5% of the buildings vacant. How are you going to pay your loan? There's going to be defaults. That's going to bring this banking system down that nobody's talking about. Yeah, headline here from Zero Hedge. Blackstone Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust slashes dividends by 24% as distress piles up in the commercial real estate investment trust slashes dividends by 24 as distress piles up in the commercial real estate world you've been talking about this since the lockdown began you can see

this is what was going to be that yeah it's in your trends journal may of 2020 yeah we warned of an office building bust and then this year our top, one of them is the banks are going to go bust this year. You go back to March of 2023. The Silicon Conman Valley Bank went bust. First Republican signature. Remember what happened to the equity markets in gold? Equity markets plummeted. Gold prices spiked.

That was three banks yeah now you got about 300 yeah that are facing there are over this year alone about a trillion dollars worth of commercial real estate that's coming due what do we we're in august almost you think they're going to be able to push that off uh to pass the election no they can't they're doing think they're going to be able to push that off to pass the election no they can't they're doing it to some extent already borrow now pay later kind of thing almost but it ain't working

it doesn't work for a little time you're seeing what the black rock just came out with they're going to be defaults. The bank, what happened was when Trump and Biden dumped all that cheap money into the economy

to fight the COVID war, the banks had a lot of money because people put money in the bank. What did they do with that money? They bought treasuries. What was the interest rate when they bought those treasuries? Zero.

Their money's worth enough. Yeah, yeah. They don't have the money to pay for the loss of debt. Yeah, yeah. And the debt, a trillion dollars this year, over the next two years, four trillion. Wow. Four trillion dollars worth of commercial real estate that's coming up

yeah it's obviously it's going to blow up but my question is will they will the fed do something or to try to stretch this past the this election and pretend that it's not a problem do anything they'll do anything they can yeah you think they'll be able to do that for the next few months so this thing doesn't blow up on uh essentially her watch before would that be an october surprise or you think they're going to be able uh kick the can uh pass the election they'll do everything they can to kick the can pass the election everything again i as i always say nobody can predict the future sure there are too many wild cards. I thought the markets would crash in April of 2020. I had no idea they would pump in trillions and trillions of dollars

and bring interest rates down to zero. Artificially prop it up. I thought the markets would crash in 2012. They didn't teach me about a thing called quantitative easing with zero interest rate policy in economics 101 a graduate school so to answer your question they'll make up anything they can yeah they're a crime syndicate yeah well it truly is amazing and of course uh the other thing that she's hanging her hat on is um going to be environmentalism you know she's got abortion she's got the lgbt thing guns environmentalism is going to be uh the other thing uh and that's going to have massive

consequences for people as well because she's going to follow along with these plans of Biden to shut down power, as well as to shut down our ability to have cars and to force everything onto the grid. One of the things I find interesting is the tech brothers, you know, all these guys, they want to have their power-consuming artificial intelligence. And so now they're talking about essentially having their own private power stations, their own private grid. And of course that's not going to be available to us.

That is actually even being pushed by a lot of the financial magazines as an investment opportunity. Some of these companies that they've set up to make a smaller nuclear reactors that will be cited close to their data centers. What do you think about that? We're writing about it in a trans journal. Yeah, it's a

reality and again we what we also do is we don't tell people what to do but we have what we call on trend on trend for newer opportunities and that's exactly one of the ones we're talking about again it's not what you like what you wish for what you believe it's if you want to do it this is where it's going yeah that's right yeah and it's not it's going to be a situation where um the power is not going to be available to us you know but some people can uh invest into that perhaps and you know you can't beat these uh people you uh buy stock in them or something i guess is what the approach is you don't join them but you buy stock in a maybe huh again you know there could be definitely a another dot-com bust because they're over speculating in the ai ai is

the future there's i tell every young person that's into this stuff learn everything you can about this trends are born they grow they mature reach old age and die ai has only been born a little over a year ago it's like when we remember when we got when the whole internet revolution began yeah that's right that's right and and and so that's where they are now with this but they're going to always speculate in certain companies just like they did with the dot-com thing yeah but didn't stop the internet revolution so that's what we could see happening with the ai it's being way over speculated yeah when you have the wall street they get so enthusiastic about something like that it's a big trend they see coming like they did with the internet and uh everybody jumps into it yep such such a degree that they overshoot it

uh and and then there's a big pullback but it doesn't change the underlying reality of it exactly long term yeah exactly perfectly said well it's it's truly amazing and like i said before you know you can get to wall street journal you point out five dollars a day and they'll tell you uh some things that uh have to retract. Yours is with a discount of night. You can save 10% off, and it's only, was it about $2 a week? Is that what the net price is? About $2.50 a week. So, you know, half the price of Wall Street.

Yeah, one week is half the price of one day of the Wall Street Journal. And you get all that. You get more accurate reporting, and you also get some trends forecasted in it, and you have been on spot with these trends.
