The problem in the United States is about the whole political system, it's not about one person. Trump's election has proven again for us, again and again, that the president is only a performer. He's not the decision-maker. He's part of different lobbies and the deep states or the deep regime as we can call it who implement and dictate on the president what should he be doing and the proof to what i'm what i'm saying that uh trump after he became president he swallowed most of the promises and the word boosting during his campaign. He made 180 turns in nearly every promise. So why? Because the deep state wouldn't allow him to go in certain direction. That's why for me, dealing with him as a person, it could be.

But can that person deliver? No. In the United States, president cannot deliver. The whole state, the deep state only, is the one who can deliver. And this is the problem. This deep state doesn't accept partners around the world. They only accept puppets. Well, and again, that's Assad talking about what was happening. And, you know, can't you work with Trump?

Well, Trump is being controlled by the deep state. You can tell that because he's done a 180-degree turn from most of the things that he said. I could talk to him, but he's not the one who's really making these decisions. He's being run, and boy, was that never more obvious than in Syria. Joining us now is Gerald Salenti.

Crap journal. The Wall Street Journal. Yep.

And this thing, the toilet paper of record, the New York Times. They call themselves the paper of record. Not an art. No more printing of information. Now they just got big pictures because they fire all the, all of the, um, the writers, the writers.

Well, they're going to end the transition period to artificial intelligence, right? In their articles. Yeah. Russian troops close in on key hub in Ukraine, humbled in Syria. Putin may intensify pressure on Ukraine.

You ready? Man found in Syria appears to be missing American. Why are you telling me one damn die out of 8 billion people that may have been missing and you're calling that news? Don't subscribe to the Trends Journal. Subscribe to the Toilet Paper Record. Subscribe to the Wall Crap Journal.

One lousy story after another. Here. U.S. and allies race to shape new Syria. Oh, yeah. What right do we have to shape Syria? What right do we have to shape Syria?

Yeah, that's right. What right do we have? Oh, why, we have our soldiers there stealing oil in eastern Syria. We've been there since 2011, robbing their oil. As I say, you think we would have invaded Iraq if their major export was broccoli? And you and I have been talking about this a long time, about the pipelines. This is about wars over pipelines, just like we had Nord Stream and the gas pipeline. Is Russia going to sell them gas, or is the United States going to sell them gas?

Same type of thing in Syria, that fight over that pipeline that's there. That's right. Iran was going to put a pipeline through because then they'd get right out to the mediterranean yeah and they stopped it from happening and turkey united states and israel here look search continues for u.s journalist who was abducted in Syria in 2012. You're calling this news? Yeah. What does this help me know of what in the world is going on, what it means and what's next? Nothing.

And this is the only article they have about the Israeli genocide, and they blame the Hamas. His records seized by Israel show Hamas was in a UN school. That they bombed to smithereens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the hospitals, schools, churches, mosques, bombed to ruin. Genocide in front of everybody's eyes. Yeah.

But nothing reported. Nothing, nothing, nothing. And now a massive bombing campaign in Syria as well. Israel has wiped out over 80%, according to the data from Times of Israel, over 80% of Syria's military equipment, plus knocking out all of their radar and all the other stuff. Yeah, we're starting to see, as I said, well, we were attacked by Gaza, so we've got to attack them and keep attacking

and keep killing civilians for over a year. And then there's been some attacks coming from Lebanon, so now we need to destroy that part of Lebanon. And now they're going into Syria. And as they continue to do this, I guess most people, except for the media and the American government, most people see it for what it is, a big land grab and a power grab, and they don't care who dies, whoever gets in their way.

Most people don't see anything. Yeah. Now, what happened to Taylor Swift last night? I mean, you know, they don't know what's going on. People don't have a clue. That's crazy. They don't have a clue. It's like the Ukraine war.

People don't know how it began. They don't know about the United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Yeah. in 2014 yeah they don't know about what was a victorian newland speaking in december 2013 you could google it up saying that the united states has sent five billion dollars to non-governmental organizations in ukraine. Teach them democracy. That's how our democracy works. You give money to politicians who keep it for their own personal use.

That's it. Yeah. That's how it works. And so people don't have a clue what's going on. And it's very, very heartbreaking. Again, what's going on to the Palestinian people, if there's no outrage, at the bombing of this place to ruin and Israel stealing more and more land every day. You know, I was just thinking, you know,

Christ wasn't born in Bethlehem. It's the West Bank. It's a Merry Christmas. Yeah, yeah. It's the West, West, West Bank. It's stolen land. And I'm tired of this fairy tale that God told Abraham 3,500 years ago that this land is your land. Is that the only person God ever spoke to? Yeah, well, you know, I think a lot of people misunderstand the promises that were made to him. And even ultra-Orthodox Jews who believe that they're going to get the land given to them don't support the way that Netanyahu and the government is doing that. And that's the key thing. Regardless of what you think with this, we don't interpret the Bible to contradict itself on basic moral principles.

And that is what people are doing. They're throwing out these clear moral guidelines that have been the basis for just war. And they're excusing anything as long as it's done by a group that they identify with, a group that they like, or a politician that they like or identify with. And we see that with Netanyahu. We see it with Israel.

We see it with the Republican Party. We see it with Trump. We see it with all this stuff. If they like the person, they don't care about morality anymore they it's just situational ethics they don't they don't really care no this is what's going on over there there should be outrage that that's beyond the belief and what what's happening to these people could you imagine could you imagine living there yeah no you know when you look at it there was an article on rt this week that I thought was good.

They always use the term, Gerald, of a rules-based international order. They don't refer back to any morality from the Bible anymore, any of the people in the West. But they'll say, we've got this rules-based international order. They say, what a sham this is. Who sets up these rules? The rules are always in the favor of NATO and the U.S. When you look at what is going on, for example, as we've been talking about with Syria, you know, when the U.S. goes in there and invades in Syria, even though Russia was there at the invitation of the

government that was there and in compliance with the U.N. rules, right? But that's not the international rule of order, not the UN or anything else. I said, so where are these rules coming from, right? They're not coming from God. They're not coming from the UN. These people are just making this stuff as they go along. And they said, when you compare that to the criticism of what's going on in Ukraine, I mean, it's rank hypocrisy, and it's just a lot of jargon to give themselves an excuse to do whatever they wish.

It really is. Thou shalt not cover thy neighbor's property. Oh, that's in the Torah, huh? Yeah. Oh, but you could cover, you're stealing all that land now in Syria. That's all right. Oh, God gave you that land too, right? That's in the good book, chapter six, section eight. I mean, what are you stealing, robbing, killing?

And you're selling one line, but you forget the other one. Yeah. Yeah. Selective. They're selective about what they want. When you look at our allies there, and I talked about this before Syria fell, you could see the A-10 Warthog, a very effective weapon that is used for close ground support of, guess who? Al-Qaeda, the Mujahideen. I mean, when this guy takes power, this guy, Jelani, when he takes power, he refers to himself and these others as Mujahideen. That's the way this has been from the very beginning of all this stuff when you had John McCain going around to Republican women's groups telling them, hey, you can adopt a Muj, right? And then they just keep changing the name, but it's always the same group that's there. They

go from Mujahideen to Al-Qaeda to ISIS to al-Nusra, and now they got this thing called HTS. It's just, we have engaged in piracy in syria we've engaged in an illegal invasion according to consistently applied rules and yet um you know this is uh something as you point out all the mainstream media is is uh cheering this on yep yeah and you talked about the mujahideen who created that uh who supported that? Oh, that was Jimmy Carter. Yeah, that goes back a long way. And that arrogant, arrogant guy, Brzezinski, remember him? Oh, yeah.

The one that does the clown show with that other clown on MSNBC. What's her name? Yeah, Mika Brzezinski. Yeah, yeah. I always talk about his first name was the big new. He was the big news the big news Brzezinski because I always made a big deal out of everything he had to say but of course he goes back he got put in that position of really running the Carter administration like

Kissinger is running the Nixon administration he got in that position because of his uh trilateral commission stuff you know creating that and his idea of creating three regions that could then eventually be united but he was also uh if you remember between two ages he talked about the technocracy and he said we're going to be able to tell what people want to do before they do it i mean he's describing all the stuff that's rolling out now and um and this this form of digital slavery that they're trying to enforce on all of us. He was talking about that in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Wow. I didn't know that.

Yeah. The technocratic age. But he called it between two ages. And so he said the technocratic age, which is what's coming, and he talked about everything in the technocracy right now, all this digital ID and CBDC and all the rest of these things. Wow. Yeah.

I didn't know that. Yeah, they love that guy yeah him and him and carter brought us the mujahideen yeah to fight the russians in afghanistan yeah that's right oh oh osama bin laden oh that the one you mean the osama bin laden that they killed that the one you mean, Osama bin Laden that they killed, that they also supported to help overthrow the government in Afghanistan? Yeah. I got to tell you, Jimmy Carter, you know, people used to do so. He was a slime ball.

He's the guy, by the way, I'll never forget the guy's name, Alfred Kahn, K-A-H-N. It should have been C-O-N. It was K-A-H-N. He was a professor or something at Cornell University. They're the ones that deregulated the airline industry. And back then when I was a young man and I was flying first class, I was the number two guy running a trade association. Flying was fun.

There was Allegheny. There was Allegheny. There was Mohawk. There was Eastern, Pan American. Over 100 airlines in America. Yeah. They deregulated it.

And now the bigs own everything. A couple of companies own it all. What, two or three? Own all the airlines. Yeah. Yep. and that's that oh he's also the guy that allowed interstate banking and did away with the usury laws yeah back in the day there were only intrastate banks bank of america was only in california yeah that's right that's right it was about tens of oh what about 14 000 15 000 banks back then now there were like 4 000 or

something yeah look at what has happened to interest rates so i tell you it's just it's like organized crime uh it's worse than organized crime it's worse than the long loan sharks used to be and then they don't pay you anything on the money that you have in the bank either. It's criminal. It really is. No, you're right. As I said, if the politicians were Italian, they'd call it the mafia. This is worse than the mafia.

What are you doing? 39% interest rates on some of these things? Yeah. Oh, yeah. What is the average now about 23 percent yeah that's right that's right yeah it is and and of course what do they pay you you know like a fraction of one percent teeny tiny amount it's just they they own everything and they certainly own the politicians and that's how they do you know we look at elon musk i was talking about this earlier uh look at uh how much money he made he put in you know 250 million or whatever for trump he's already made 200 billion and that's before the new rules kick

in you know he's going to use his position say it's efficiency we're not going to give any subsidies to my competitors that i maxed out uh for evs and you and all the rest of the stuff. He's got a lot of things. He talked about how Trump has said, if anybody invests a billion dollars, we're going to get rid of all the environmental regulations for him and everything. He's like, yeah, let's do this. That's the way he's going to make his money.

Yeah, only if you invest a billion dollars. The rest of us can invest nothing. We get nothing. You've got to be the billionaires to invest a billion dollars, the rest of us can invest nothing. We get nothing. You got to be the billionaires to invest a billion. Then the government will give you money. That's right. That's right. Yeah, the rest of us are not worth anything.

We used to always see this with the sports stadiums. You know, you got these billionaires who come in. They got multimillion dollar contracts with their players, you know, and then the rest of us have to pay for their stadium because you know the small businesses are not essential and we don't we don't do anything in terms of economic activity it's only this um uh this sports stadium that is going to make jobs and make money for the economy uh all the mom and pops out there they need to go out of business and of course that was the one my other big gripes with Trump was what he did to them. But, you know, it's interesting. I saw an article from Roger Stone

and he was dressing down Zelensky because Zelensky didn't dress up. You know, he went to Notre Dame and he's wearing his standard khaki T-shirt and all the rest of the stuff that he's worn for several years, like he's some character off a bonanza he's got this this one uniform that he wears day in and day out everywhere for three years and uh and roger stone was saying how how dare him show no respect whatsoever to this and i thought well roger what is the appropriate attire for world war three is it uh is it formal is it semi-formal? How should we dress for World War III? That's what we're really talking about here, but nobody wants to mention that, I guess. But it is amazing to me to see these terrorists.

And this group, this HTS group, is still listed by the State Department as a terrorist group while they're giving them air support with a10 warthogs and other things they don't even try to hide it anymore yeah the united states is bombing syria as well yeah along with turkey that's right yeah and and now they're putting this group in and um they're not going to like israel very much they're not going to be they're going to be more anti-israel than Assad was. Well, they were very complimentary at this point, but we'll see what happens down the road. And of course, I'm reminded that Israel put in Hamas because they wanted a more radical group there.

They thought it would make it easier for them to do what they wanted than if they had moderates in. So they pushed for the more radical group, Hamas gaza so you know this is the geopolitical games that these people play and they don't care anything about our lives they don't care about the lives of innocent people and they don't care about the lives of their own people either well let's talk a little bit about what's going on with the economy because we're getting here to the end of the year and um and you know the uh what do you think about gold bitcoin all the rest of the year. And what do you think about gold, Bitcoin, all the rest of this stuff? What do you think is going to happen with the tariffs?

What is your economic forecast as we're looking at the end of the year here? It's a wild card with Trump. I mean, he says one thing and does another. Some tariffs he put through, others he didn't. Our forecast is that the equity markets will do, they'll do relatively well next year because Trump will do everything he can to keep boosting up the economy because he's invested into it. And you look at the facts. Let's go back. We're in December now. Let's go back to December 2018. I know that's ancient

history for a lot of people. The equity markets were at their worst level in that December from any December since the Great Depression, 1931. That's how bad the equity markets did in 2018. What did Trump do? He pressured Jerome Powell to lower interest rates. In January, Powell lowered interest rates, artificially boosted up the economy. Everything. And so we see it positive for the equity markets. On the Bitcoin numbers, we've been bullish for Bitcoin for many years. And we're very bullish on it because, you know, he's in the game. And do we know if he's invested in it or not? And he brought people in that are pro-crypto into his government.

And they're very invested in it. I mean, you look at all the people around him that are anything that has to do with any of the financial aspects of it. They're all heavily involved in crypto and stable coin and tokenization, all of that stuff. Yep. Yeah. So it's, you know, you got to look for what it is, not for what you want. Yeah. And so we see it.

Again, you know, we're talking about Musk. He gave him $250 dollars so he's worth almost a trillion dollars that's like that's like even a big leaving a big tip at a restaurant yeah you have that kind of money exactly exactly no money at all yeah nothing but the point being look at all the billionaires that trump has brought into his team the billionaires have they could speak they could say anything that they want we have no right to say anything or be involved in any decision making we are pieces of nothing crap yeah it's only by the way, it's fascism, according to

an Italian guy I don't like called Mussolini. The merger of state and corporate powers, by definition. The corporate powers run the government. You want to run for president? I'm Camilla Hilarious.

I got, what, 2..3 or $4 billion. Hey, I'm Trump. I only got $1.4 billion. Billion. Yeah. Billion. Yeah. It's not a democracy.

You want to run for any office, you don't have the money behind you. You don't go anywhere. That's right. That's right. And this is right in front of everybody's eyes it's it's another it's it's the robber barons it's nothing has changed it's only gotten worse because once upon a time there used to be as you remember we talked about this before stationary stores, hardware stores, grocery stores, drug stores, shoe stores, all chains. Chains on everything.

Chains on everything. And by the way, people forget this too. That's why they wanted all the cheap labor coming in here, the immigration. You go to any one of these stores, what I mentioned, all the chains, the Lowe's, the Marshall's, every time you walk in the door, help wanted, full-time, part-time, because they don't pay the people anything. Oh, yeah. I agree. additive TV footage about how they're throwing immigrants out and everything. While in the back door, they're bringing in all the people, the H-1B visas and all the rest of this stuff, giving them green cards if they even got a college degree. So there's going to be this type of thing.

There's going to be a lot of professional wrestling fights and yelling and screaming between Homan and these Democrat cities, while very quietly, they're going to be bringing them in in massive numbers in a different way than Biden did. Yep. Yeah. Everything that happens is that way. Yeah. You know, by the way, I support tariffs. And I'll tell you why.

Because once upon a time, going back to the late 1800s, early 1900s, the money that came in for the government came in through tariffs, not taxes. That's right. They invented the tax thing that slimeball made rotten hell, Woodrow Wilson, who gave us the Federal Reserve, federal income tax, the IRS, and World War I. And that's why they call it the Internal Revenue Service, because our revenue for the federal government was almost all external, came from other countries. And that allowed this to be essentially a free trade zone.

Jefferson said when his second inaugural address, he said, well, I've been able to eliminate all useless offices, and by doing that, no farmer, no laborer, no mechanic knows the tax man. We've eliminated all internal taxes. And it pretty much ran that way. But, you know, once they made the shift to globalism, they wanted to have free trade and internal taxes. And that's what they've done. So, yeah, that's an important thing. But the difficulty is how do we switch it? And how do we wind up not paying the the you know we're still going to have this army of 80,000 irs agents and we're still going to be growing the irs to be seven times bigger than it is today and i don't see anybody on the republican side talking about

cutting that back but we know that the tariffs are going to add taxes to us you know that and that's always been the thing if we change the of taxation, even if they went from an income tax to a consumption sales tax, the danger is that you always wind up getting both of them rather than changing one out for the other one. What do you think about that? And what do you think the economic consequences of these tariffs, if Trump does them, how do you think that's going to transition? Well, let's go back to the beginning of the ukraine war uh was it february 24th 2022. biden and the west put serious sanctions on russia quote putin's going to pay the price they didn't pay the price we said russia has the human and natural resources they need to be self-sustaining these are very advanced people technologically and scientifically and again it's a huge country

they have the they have the natural resources as well look what happened to Russia's economy. It went up. They became self-sustaining. All the companies that left, the Russian people took over the companies. So McDonald's left, they will take over. They will call it something else. They just took over these businesses. They call it McPutin's, I guess. So now the United States has all of what we need to be self-sustaining

once upon a time as you remember used to be things you know like made in america yeah i up in syracuse corning all of all the places that uh oh right here in in in kingston gantt shirt factory that shirt factory is all over the place over here and so oh there was there was a thing now they call it the rust belt yeah used to be manufacturing we need to bring manufacturing back to this country here to show you the hypocrisy again i grew up at the height of the vietnam war we got to get those dirty commies before we don't stop them those dominoes are going to keep falling and before you know it those commies will take over asia that was the line being sold vietnam still run by the commies, that's our second largest importer.

We import clothing and shoes from Vietnam. The second largest country that we buy shoes and clothing from. But they taught us to hate those commies to go to war. That's right. Yeah, and it was never about the domino thing. You know, it was McNamara said before he died, he was interviewed in a documentary. And he said he went back and the guy slammed his fist on the table and said, domino theory, don't you know anything about our history?

For a thousand years, we've been in conflict with the Chinese. And now, as you's a um uh you know an independent country that is manufacturing a lot they're still having conflicts with the chinese yep yeah yeah mcnamara page 148 149 and hold on and this is from my book trends 2000 which was an international bestseller here we go Robert McNamara now states that quote we were terribly wrong here it is 1995 book in retrospect the tragedy and lessons of Vietnam former secretary of defense Robert McNamara finally revealed what

an entire generation had known for 30 years, that our, quote, democratic government foisted the Vietnam War upon the public, knowing full well that Vietnam posed no threat to our national security, and that, quote, the war was wrong, terribly terribly wrong and could not be won anyhow robert rem mcnamara now states we are terribly wrong he should be tried as a war criminal his dogmatic policies resulted in the most terrible tragedy this country has suffered since the civil war we call for a tribunal for Bosnia. Why not for McNamara? Yeah. McNamara ranks with Hitler and Stalin as the perpetrator of crimes against humanity.

Curtis D. Westfall, retired Air Force Colonel, Austin, Texas, letter to the editor, USA Today, 4-11-95. Wrote about it in my book. Excellent. Yeah. And you know, when he did that documentary, as you're pointing out, he deserved to be tried as a war criminal. And he kind of referred, he kind of tried to give himself some legal cover by saying that when you look at Dresden, so many people died in dresden dresden he said the firebombing there he said if we'd lost that war we would have been tried as war criminals so he goes yeah what we did in vietnam was bad but not nearly as bad as what we did in world war ii type of thing right trying to to buy some time there but you know when we talk about this domino

theory what do we hear the argument for this continued war in ukraine all the time from the u.s from the uk from france it's the domino theory and it's not a domino theory this is uh this internal struggle that's been there between ukraine and russia ukraine is part of russia as long as the united states has been in existence and and so it's this ethnic conflict that is really a part of that area and we went in there with the coups and all the rest of stuff but now they're back to this same thing about the domino theory it's like i've heard this all my life this is the the lie that they always resort to yep yeah truly amazing same thing with the middle east yeah yeah well you know you're talking about manufacturing and i've said this before i unless they get rid of this green agenda we're not going to have any manufacturing.

It'll all be in China. And that's really, I think, what the purpose of this was. You go back to 2015, the Paris Climate Accord, which is a treaty that was never ratified. But Trump pretends, and everybody else pretends, even all the people in the Senate. Not one senator came up and said, wait a minute, we have a say in this. None of them have said that, Republican or Democrat. But when you look at what is happening, I reported yesterday, China is adding two coal power plants a week. And they've already got 48% of the world's coal power plants. And yet

Biden has got a plan to get rid of 80% of our remaining coal power plants in the next five years. We've got about 200 of them, and he's going to get rid of 80% of them in the next five years. If we don't do something about that, we're going to be in the same situation as the UK and other places in Europe where they can't afford to manufacture anything because their price of energy is so high. I mean, to me, that's the fundamental thing. And yet, when you talk about, when Trump talks about the tariffs, I look at it and I say, I just see an additional tax coming.

I don't see any focus on what the true problem is. He says, drill, baby, drill. Well, that's not the issue. You know, you can drill, but if you don't get rid of the Paris Climate Accord, they're not going to let you use it. So, again, it's just misdirection. And a big con, I think, is what this is all looking like to me. You know, you talk about burning coal, burning oil.

If there's a quote, oh, by the way, they just passed a bill, $900 billion more for the military industrial complex, almost a trillion dollars. Yeah. And Trump is going to keep as they're cutting government jobs, they're going to keep promoting the military industrial complex to get bigger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Remember this quote. And again, it goes back to what you're talking about, because we could be going in a different direction. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense of theft from those who hunger and are not fed,

those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone, it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. Dwight D. Eisenhower, five-star general, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces and two-term president. So let's take one thing that he said here. The genius of the scientists. If we were spending a trillion dollars a year on a new science to develop a new energy that was truly clean and truly safe, we'd have had it 40 years ago.

Yeah, or if somebody developed it 40 years ago they would suppress it the money isn't going into this yeah yeah we don't have to be burning coal. It could be something that's totally different. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. But the money's not going to it. The money's going to hell. That's right. Because we keep, and that's the truest word.

Our money is going to hell. They're stealing our money to go kill people all over the world that's right and again i launched occupied peace so it's not just words i put my money where my heart and soul are and by the way uh how you gave 250 million dollars to uh trump how about giving 250 million dollars to occupy peace tesla that's right that's right Or even just give a little bit of money to the people in western North Carolina. I talked about it earlier, Gerald. They got people who are freezing to death there. And they've got the local officials who came in and they're tearing down the houses that the Amish built for them because they don't have running water or electricity.

But they're not going to have it when they have the house torn down either. I mean, it's just what our government is doing is just directed against us. You know, Mike Johnson can't do anything at all to help these people in western North Carolina. And yet he just passed nearly a trillion dollars for war. This is so typical. It's typical of both of these parties. They have nothing but contempt for the American people. They've got their own agenda of their little

geopolitical agenda and to redraw the lines on the map and to be able to boss people around they don't care how many people they kill including their own people how many of them die that's that's what's really involved here i got a comment here um colomos i guess so we pronounce the name sorry i don't know how to pronounce that he says he says, tell Gerald Slinty, saw his picture hanging at the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois, when I walked in. He's a huge health guy. So there you go. Did you know that, that they had your picture there? I didn't know that, but they gave me an honorary doctorate because of the work I've done in integrative and natural healing,

integrative and complementary medicine. Here, this is one of the first books I worked on called Natural Healing back in the 1980s when people weren't talking about that. That's so nice to hear that. Yeah, they were wonderful to me. And, yeah, and again, we talked again we talked about yeah remember this is very important please pay attention don't forget when you when you masturbate don't forget to sanitize your hands remember that yeah oh yeah remember that everybody had hand sanitizer

everywhere we had a fire i think somewhere because uh that stuff is pretty volatile and flammable and um a big storage of that uh but not as bad as uh lithium and i don't want to catch covid from you because it's going around again so i got to put this on because you know it could come through the microphone and and and kill me well you know they're ramping this stuff up and and it looks like they're they're targeting raw. I think that targeting of raw milk is really about targeting local food production in general. What do you think? Yeah. Again, they've knocked out. Look who.

Yeah. Again, I wrote about it in this book, Trends 2000, how the bigs took over all of the farming industry. Tyson's and all these other companies. Look at it. I don't eat that crap. And again, I'm talking about with natural healing, there was never a word, not one word from the prostitutes

who sold the COVID jab about getting in the best health you can. Yeah, that's right. About taking vitamins and supplements. You know, I only go out to eat when I go out on a date or with buddies, you know, or friends, you know. But I don't go out to restaurants. I don't want to eat that stuff. You know, I only eat, you know, organic foods.

And I'm very careful where, like, for example, if I go in, I always read the label on the organic. Oh, it comes from, oh, these grapes come from Peru. The grapes, or call them organic, they come from Peru. How long does it take to get the grapes from Peru to New York? How old are these things? They're aged. They're just about to become wine when you get them, right? And I eat seasonally, too.

I won't eat lettuce in the middle of the winter. Where did the lettuce come from? You go out, when you grow your own lettuce, you pick it. It's dead within five minutes if you don't put it in the refrigerator, put some water, clean it. And you mean now you're telling me I'm eating lettuce in the middle of the winter? How do they keep this stuff alive for so long as they shipped it from wherever they shipped it from? So while I eat organic, you know, it's very careful of what I buy. And by the way, I don't know how people could afford it.

I mean, I bought some grapes and a couple of this and that. All of a sudden, like $55. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, the price of groceries just threw the roof now. Let me ask you this, because I know that, you know, you support RFK Jr. And then his position on Israel, you unsupported Jr. and then his position on Israel. You you unsupported him. What do you think now?

Do you think that he's you know, my take on it was I thought Trump was kind of leading him along and that maybe, you know, they kind of sabotage his appointment. You think he's going to make it? And do you think that if he makes it, he's going to make a difference with any of the food or with any of the vaccine stuff. What do you think about that? I think he will. I think he will. And, you know, and there's some positive things I said. You know, I don't like Trump as a person, and I don't support him.

I wouldn't vote for him. But there are things, if he follows through with them, again, as you said, I stopped supporting Kennedy, and I spoke with him. And I had Dennis Kucinich up here, as you know, as one kennedy and i spoke with him and i had dennis kasinich up here as you know as as one of the speakers who was his campaign manager and um i stopped supporting him because of his stance on the war and now with trump on the war he just came out with the time magazine the big deal he's the man of the year who reads time magazine anymore well so was adolf hitler maybe they're trying to send us a message but anyway i mean their man of the year can be anybody that affected the news you know but but trump came out and said that he wants

peace and he said he wants peace in the middle east they asked him about net do you trust net and yahoo he said i don't trust anybody and he said i he said i don't want to see the palestinians the jewish people killed i don't want to see the russians the ukrainian people killed and and so if he lives by his word and has peace boy i'm totally pro-trump yeah yeah but will he live by his word because now he's saying i just came out the wall street journal today actually about him possibly bombing iran his nuclear facilities yeah oh yeah i don't know he'll say anything he's gonna do that then how you're gonna talk about peace he'll say anything to anybody i i my uh my my trump bs meter is fully

pegged all the way as full as it'll go i don't believe a thing the guy says about anything you know if it comes out great i'll be happy to congratulate him for it but right now we're in this kind of weird honeymoon period where everybody is able to project whatever they want to on him. And that's what they're doing. Everybody takes whatever he says that they like, and they're projecting it on him. And there's no reality check. And, of course, there really won't be much of a reality check, I think, once he becomes president. Because look at all the stuff that he's gotten away with.

He's the father of the jab. He still loves all that stuff. So there's going to be so many people who are going to be covering for him with all this stuff in the media i i just uh we'll just have to wait and see how how it turns out what do you think of this guy who was the um who worked with soros to break the bank of england besant who's going to be his treasury secretary what do you think uh is going to happen to the dollar in the next few years? Are they going to completely trash it and try to move into some kind of a cryptocurrency? A lot of people are talking about using Bitcoin as a reserve.

Even Russia is talking about using Bitcoin as a reserve. What do you see the dollar in these types of things? The dollar, it all depends. Where the dollar goes depends on what they do with interest rates. End of story. And they're going to lower interest rates apparently next week by 25 basis points. And we believe that Trump is going to continue to push to lower interest rates because he wants to boost the economy up very important to also understand the lower interest rates go the

higher inflation is going to go yeah that's right so that's the other side of it and on a digital currency absolutely absolutely positively that's the future It was one of the covers of our Trends Journal. And again, you could get it by going to your link there. You get 10% off, it's $2.50 a week. One of the covers was from dirty cash to digital trash we're looking at a the real numbers by the way of the united states debt when you put in like social security all the other stuff they have to pay out is about 260 trillion dollars not 36 trillion there's no way in the world that they're ever going to pay this debt off they're going to make up a digital off they're going to make up a digital currency

they're going to make up something like the russians hacked our banking system you lost all your money but don't worry about it we're coming up with a new coin and the people will accept it because the country the world has gone digital it's been digit everybody's digitized that's right everything little kids little infants playing with the little, you know. And I think that's a big part of what we see coming up with the Trump administration. He's got all these pro-crypto people, you know. It's kind of a, you know, a controlled two-step process here with the Segelian dialectic. You know, you got Biden who will come at them directly, and I'm going to ban ban everything and i'm going to force you to do this and force you to do that then they pull back and

with crypto or even with the climate stuff i think that uh that trump is going to pull back on a lot of these biden mandates and say hey you can do anything that you want of course you may have to pay a carbon tax or you may have to pay for carbon sequestration that my buddies are running and all the rest of the stuff. Or when it comes to crypto, you say, hey, you can have anything that you want out there. And then they set up this system, not only are people getting acclimated to it, you know, that's a big part, I think, of a lockdown, getting people acclimated to universal basic income. But, you know, moving this over to a window is a very important thing for them. And so if they open everything up and let everybody play with crypto, and now everybody's

really excited because all the walls are coming down and it's going to be some freedom for a while, kind of like what they did with the internet, then they'll drop the hammer at some point in the future. Maybe a false flag, like you said. Yep. And again, it's going to happen. It's only going to be a matter of when. Look what's going on in China. Nobody uses cash anymore. You put your palm out and they pay you your thing. Yeah.

So cash is going to go away. And everything becomes digitized. And once it becomes more and more digitized, then they don't care. They don't care what's backing it backing it yeah if anything yeah yeah oh by the way how come we're not allowed to go into fort knox to see where the gold is it's virtual gold now all right it's like the paper gold and the shanghai gold exchange right is it really there it doesn't track uh spot price of gold.

It's doing its own thing. I think they're using that to manipulate the price of gold. Yeah, gold prices, again, when Trump came in, that changed the gold rally. I mean, gold, you know, in the last two days, it's down almost like $100, you know, the last three days. But our top trend for 2024 was a golden year for gold well gold's now about

two thousand six hundred and seventy dollars an ounce you know it was up to almost two thousand eight hundred but it's still up from when we made that forecast that's right about six hundred and forty dollars an ounce and you know is is it uh there's all this expectation again in this honeymoon period but um the fundamentals are still there i mean we still have everybody we're running away from the dollar we still have inflation we still have the deficit and debt and there's still the privacy issue as well that is there that i think gold to me wins on but um you know it is a lot of these fundamentals are still there and you've got a lot of analysts are still saying that they think that

next year is going to go up close to uh three thousand dollars i mean what do you think about gold again it's it again it's it's a you you gotta see what trump is gonna if he lowers interest rates gold prices are gonna go up because the dollar is going to go down. But right now the dollar is very strong. And you just saw the ECB lowered interest rates yesterday, 25 basis points. But they're still high compared to where they were in negative territory back in 2022. And then you have Canada just lowered their interest rates 50 basis points and look at the loonie look at the euro they're going down and so it costs more

because gold is dollar based for other countries to buy it when the dollar is so. But that's what keeps the prices down. And with the fear of inflation, at this point is negative for gold because they fear that if inflation has gone up like the last numbers to produce a price index was higher than anticipated, that brought gold prices down because they feel the Fed won't lower interest rates because inflation's going up.

Who do you think he's going to get from Powell? Is Powell going to fight him? Powell said, I'm not leaving and he can't fire me, that type of thing. Do you think he's going to get what he wants out of Powell? Take a look at Powell. Take a look at this guy. Is he a fighter? Is he a fighter?

It doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like it. You don't get those jobs by being a fighter. Yeah. You get those jobs by being a member of the club. Yeah. You're in the fraternity. Yeah.

That's all it is. It's one big club and you ain't in it as george collins said that's right no no they've got the trump again trump pushed powell to lower interest rates in december of 2018 when the markets were crashing and powell lowered them in january and that created a false boom again in the economy and they had the repo crisis you look at the data going back to 2019 this country was going down economically and then the the covet war breaks out on january uh 2020 on chinese lunar new year the year of the rat and everybody forgot about that germany was going into a recession in 2019.

Right now, you're looking at the top 10 countries in the world that their economies are going down, other than the United States. We have the strongest economy, again, who's artificially propped up, keeps being artificially propped up, just like the equity markets are artificially propped up, keeps being artificially propped up, just like the equity markets are artificially propped up.

Yeah, yeah, I agree. Well, it's going to be interesting to see what happens and we're going to see a lot of things changing very quickly. When you look at the people that Trump's got in there, pretty much, you know,

if RFK Jr. doesn't do any of this stuff, at least the things that uh trump's got in there pretty much um you know it if rfk jr doesn't uh do any of this stuff at least uh the things that he has said have moved the public expectation in a positive way i think you know there's a lot of things that i'd like to see him do that he hasn't done and he can be a bit of a limited hangout on a lot of this stuff but still um there's a lot of positive that could come out of that so we'll just hope that that's going to be the case. And again, what else is on your radar there? And again, what do you think of this guy, Besant, this Soros guy? I mean, he was there with Soros when they broke the Bank of England.

Is he going to break the bank here? They want, you know, the positive, another positive thing is, you know, yeah, I really believe in bringing down the government. Get rid of all these stupid jobs. Here, look at the numbers of jobs that were created. Look at the number of government jobs that were created in the last round. Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's basically all the jobs created were government jobs yeah you know government jobs social service job uh which pay nothing health care that social service ends and and uh restaurants and and uh you know service industries that pay nothing but we don't need these government jobs i am in total in favor of bringing down all of these stupid government jobs. You know, I was the assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate, as you know. The people, the bureaucrats are the lowest life pieces of scum you could find out there. They can't get a job in the real world. They suck into the political system and they become the most arrogant.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, just look at what we're talking about earlier. They go in and knock the houses down that the Amish built for these people. I mean, what kind of a person does that? Yeah. Yeah. The most arrogant.

Yeah. So I'm in total favor of them bringing down, cutting out these government jobs and Department of Education. What education? It's a government school system. Yeah. Well, the thing is, though i i don't think that you know when you look at it they're talking about two trillion i don't see true trillion

that's there unless you do structural changes of the entitlement programs is just not there and um and then whatever ramaswamy and musk and their people talk about it's going to be chump change if they don't do some major structural change i mean you got to get rid of some major bureaucracies as we're talking about earlier the different things like the epa or um you know the department of energy all these things that came about you know only about 30 40 50 years ago uh and and they have been a thorn in everybody's side all of this time. Those entire agencies need to go. But all that has to come from Congress.

And you've got Mike Johnson who wants to operate like Nancy Pelosi, doing omnibus bills and just running everything through. I'm very pessimistic about any reform with that. David, Mike Johnson will fold like that. He's not his own man. Oh, yeah. But he doesn't do anything. And unless they stop the omnibus bill stuff, they're not going to be able to cut expenses anywhere. They can make their recommendations, but if these guys do nothing, you know.

I think Trump's going to have the power of Congress. And a guy like Mike Johnson, he's a nobody. He'll just do what he's told. And again, how about- You see him photobombing all the pictures of Trump and Elon Musk, you know, on the plane and everything else, Mike Johnson. How about getting rid of Homeland Security, something they invented after 9-11? Oh, yeah. What the hell has Homeland Security done for us?

Yeah. Getting rid of the FBI and the CIAia how about getting rid of those yeah oh no cash patel is going to make it work good he's going to keep it around he's going to fix it you know it's like the the meme going around is like bore mirror he's going to get the ring of power and i know i can use this for good uh yeah that's the problem with all this stuff they don't want to really cut the size of government. They don't want to really restore the rule of law. They just want to make sure they use these things for their own purposes. That's really what I think we're going to see with it.
