Thanks for joining us. Yeah. Yeah. And there's the other, there's the other line.

I guess you can't read it. You're not allowed to put that up there. Follow what they tell you. You're nothing more than a piece of crap. Yeah, that's right. Hey, listen, I want to make this straight. I'm the governor of California. I'm arrogant, gruesome, newsome.

I'm a daddy's boy. My daddy worked for the Getty gang. He was a lawyer for them. You shut down your businesses. I'm little Andy Cuomo. I'm another daddy's boy, born on third base base thought i had a home run my daddy was mario cuomo and i'm renaming the tappan z bridge after my father and you jerks it's mario m cuomo bridge you forgot to put the m take down those signs redo them it's only going to cost the stupid taxpayers as plantation workers

of slave landia 30 million dollars wow i didn't i didn't know that he took the award for the crap that i spewed out during the covid war you're nothing more than a piece of crap i'm your leader and it's not only here you got the cut zone macron over there in france you got that little odolf schultz over there the new nazi building up the german military we're gonna be the strongest military in europe oh yeah in Europe. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, you like the First World War? I like the second one better. And then you got Netanyahu over there. You want to see a real crazy guy?

Open your eyes. Follow your leader. You're nothing. You are nothing. That's the attitude. That's the attitude that they, look at the little jerk that's playing, look at the little jerk that's playing the new house speaker,

speaker of the house, little Mike Johnson. Yep. A little nothing of a clown. Oh, this is a boy, a little boy of no, nothing. A little boy of a clown Oh this is a boy A little boy Of nothing I'm a devout Christian I'm an evangelical Christian Oh No abortion

But more money to Israel To keep slaughtering the Palestinians No cease fire He was at that rally on Tuesday no cease fire keep killing the innocent Palestinians keep destroying them only about 12,000 dead over 5,000 of them children and women. Yeah. You've got a stat, a stat here.

The WHO says the child's being killed every 10 minutes. Yeah. In Gaza. No abortion, no abortion. I'm an evangelical Christian. You're a piece of crap. And I call it his face.

You're a little murderous piece of crap. Every one of these little clowns. Yeah, it was, you know, he was always, you know, he's coming at it from a Zionist perspective because of his Christian perspective. But as I've said before, you know, God doesn't need your help. If you think that this is what's going on, he doesn't need your help and he doesn't need you to go slaughter these people in order to make his plans come true. He's got some real clear directives about what you are to do and not do. And but you use your idea about how the world is going to end to get around having to follow those objectives when they get into your way. And then the other issue that I'm concerned with about him, you know, I look at that and I say, okay, well, this is something he's always said. He's very mistaken about it. But the thing that concerns me is if he's compromised, you look at it as a character issue. He always was

opposing Ukraine until he becomes Speaker of the House. Now he's supporting money for continuing the war in Ukraine as well. So, you know, as a Christian, he probably supports a war against China as well. We can have all three for our third world war. We can have Europe and Asia as well as the Middle East. We can have a war. Again, you know, this is a Christian looking at response to an attack. It needs to be done in a way to try to minimize the loss of innocent life, and it needs to be done with an eye to stopping the hostilities, not using it as an excuse to

ramp up the hostilities, which is the way this is being done by Israel, by Netanyahu. Yep, I agree 100% what you're saying. And by the way, I think I've read this before from your Trends Journal. And again, people can get to Trends Journal by going to, what's the, David Knight? The code is Knight, yeah. Get 10% off of the Trends Journal, that's right. Yeah, it'll cost you less than $2 a week. Yeah. $2 a week for nothing.

And it's about 170 pages a week yeah yeah and an online format as well so it's like an online magazine with hot links and you can and you can listen to it as well so this is when it was a quarterly you see that crusades 2000 2000. While the seeds of the Crusades 2000 had been planted in full view of the world, and all those watching could have anticipated the eventual harvest, the memories of what had happened and what

would occur have been fogged by rigid ideology, excuse me, fanatical religiosity, patriotic fervor, government propaganda, and ulterior motives. Regardless of what England's reasons or intentions were, self-serving or otherwise, Crusades 2000 was set in motion by the 1917 Balfour Declaration that laid the foundation for Israel. This is the quote. His Majesty's government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people

and will use our best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this objective. His Majesty's government? His Majesty's government? Here, you see his Majesty's government recently? Yeah. Look at this little freak show look at these guys dressed up in all this drag look at this stupid halloween show yeah this is his majesty's

government what the hell is his majesty's government from the uk saying what should happen in palestine who are they to say that this land goes to the jewish people UK saying what should happen in Palestine. Who are they to say that this land goes to the Jewish people? And then the United Nations created it, the United Nations that the Americans fought against joining after World War I

when it was called the League of Nations because it was not our responsibility to get involved in all this crap. The United Nations declared the Jewish state of Israel. They threw out, what, about 700,000 Palestinians?

They have no right to this land. It's not theirs. Did you see the article that came out the Guardian put it up and then took it down of Osama Bin Laden speech

did you hear about that? oh yeah that's going around on Twitter Osama Bin Laden speech yeah go ahead I printed out the whole thing That's going around on Twitter. Yeah. Osama bin Laden speech. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. I printed out the whole thing. These are some of the things he says. Some American writers have published articles under the title, quote,

on what basis are we fighting? These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhere to the truth and were biased on Islamic law and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth as an explanation and warning. Why are we fighting and opposing you? What are we calling you to and what do we want you to do? As for the first question, why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple. Because you attack us and continue to attack us. You attacked us in Palestine. Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British, as I just wrote, handed over Palestine with your help and your support to the Jews who have occupied it for more than 50 years. He wrote this in 2002.

Overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction, and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And it goes on. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards the crime must pay its price. It goes on.

I agree with him. You have no right to do this to the Palestinian people. Could you imagine? I look at David. I've been having nightmares now for some three weeks because i gotta write about this stuff every day about the pal i see the pictures of the palestinian children being killed the parents the bombings the hospitals bombed school ones mosque bombings could you imagine if gaza was filled with jewish people and the people and the Palestinians were bombing them.

Could you imagine the outrage that we'd have? Yes. Yes. Then. Then the article, if I could find it real quickly. an article came out about those dirty russians bombed the place in kursan wherever you pronounce it and killed some 15 people major story those 15 people what if the russians were doing what the jews are doing to the palestinians what if the russians were bombing the hell out of kiev like this well what do you imagine the outrage we'd have kiev was bombing

their own country and danesk and uh in crimea they were doing that for eight years before russia killed over 14 000 people yeah yeah i mean here's here's the thing you know i and i don't know i i didn't i didn't cover the i saw that the obama letter was going viral on tiktok and so with the fact that it's on tiktok and the fact that it's supposedly coming from Obama and his ties that we knew he had with the CIA, I don't know if that's authentic or not. I don't know if they've authenticated that, but that's a, you know, whatever, um, you know, the, that is said there, people are, are, uh, looking at that. I know for a fact that, uh, the U S is so anxious to get after Iran, and so is Israel. And yet that is something that we, that's a monster that we created.

Just like, you know, we created Al-Qaeda, just like we created the Mujahideen, which became Al-Qaeda, and then how we armed ISIS and so forth, and how the U.S. and Israel decided that they wanted to have Hamas there because they would be more radical and it would work for their benefit to have that. So I understand how they're doing all of this stuff. And I also understand, you know, when you talk about it and it's, I don't look at those pictures because I don't want to get, I don't want to get caught up in that. You look at the pictures on both sides and what they focus on gerald they focus on the death and the mutilation of kids i saw a couple of them it's like i'm gonna not watch this anymore but that's how they energize both sides against the other and i said you know what we need to do

we take somebody who says that they're pro-life well be pro-life and instead of using pictures of the death and mutilation of children use pictures of the death and mutilation of babies who are aborted to stop that evil here and and stop uh you know stoking this this this war and when we look at again the principles of just war you don't attack unless you are attacked but even after you are initially attacked you try to end this as soon as possible you try to avoid harming civilians as much as possible. And that is not the objective that we see happening here. So it's not a justified war in the way that it's being responded to. Not at all.

Not justified at all. And again, look what they're doing now. I mean, the term settlers in the West Bank. What do you mean settlers? How about stealers? You got no right being there. Oh, it's against the Geneva Convention. You've been doing it since 1967.

And now they've killed some 200 people in a quote in the West Bank settlement. It's not a settlement. You're stealing the land. Violation of Geneva Conventions, Article 242 of the United Nations. And going back to this, what's his name? Bin Laden wrote. He goes, you steal our wealth and oil. Your forces occupy our countries.

You spread your military bases throughout them. You corrupt our lands. You besiege our sanctities to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures. You have starved the Muslims in Iraq. This is 100% true, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children

have died as a result of your sanctions and you did not show concern remember Madeleine Albright on 60 minutes with Leslie Stahl after Bill Clinton every time he got caught with his pants down it was bombs away over baghdad put sanctions on iraq and leslie stall asks so the numbers this is from leslie stall is the price of 500 000 iraqi children that are dead under the age of five worth the sanctions and what bill clinton is doing to iraq and madeline albright said yes it is you could google it up anybody go to youtube madeline albright leslie stahl oh i've played it many times and i said you know she doesn't even have the decency to deny it you know you could if you were a decent person you could say well you know we didn't kill that

many or it wasn't our intention to kill them. She owns it. She says, yeah, it was worth it. I have no regrets about the death of those children whatsoever. What a monster. And then he goes on to say a whole other thing. You are a nation that permits usury, which has been forbidden by all religions. Yet, you build your economy and investments on usury.

Think about it. This is one of the covers of the Trends Journal. Chasing the money changers out of the temple. Nothing's changed. You know, when I grew up as a kid, they didn't, the Italians used to call us guineas and wops. We were very, very discriminated against.

And that lousy mafia, they're charging 10% interest to people that borrow money from them. Yeah. What does City and MasterCard? What are they? Oh, I think they're up around 30%,

just under 30, like 29% or something. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Worse than ever. Yeah. It's a crime syndicate in front of your eyes. That's right.

That's right. It's a crime syndicate. Those dirty guineas, that lousy mafia. Hey, but I'm Jamie Dine. Hey, youousy mafia. Hey, but I'm Jamie Dine. Hey, you got it? I'm convicted of five, Mark Brackham, JPMorgan Chase, admitted to five felonies. Five felonies.

Hey, I don't go to jail. But you know who I am? Yeah, he meets with Nuki Haleyaley who wants war everywhere and she comes out now when she's got right after the meeting she's got a 10 million dollar buy for her campaign because she's all about war she's all about uh open immigration cheap labor for these big companies whatever the banksters want she's right there deliver it it's just a shame for her that uh you know jeffrey epstein is not still around. But, of course, he's the next best thing, isn't he?

Jamie Demon. Yep. Yeah. Hey, and you, David Knight and everybody listening, you're just a piece of crap. I don't care about your debt. I don't care about your problems. I'm too big to fail.

I make dirty deals and I lost trillions of dollars. So I want your money to bail me out. I'm too big to fail. And the Federal $29 trillion to the banksters between 2007 and 2010, according to the Levy Institute at Bard College. And, of course, they make a point of saying, well, you know, they paid back all that money. They paid it back with money that they got at 0% interest. You know, while they were charging everybody else 30% interest. That's the amazing thing. But you just look at the savings accounts. I remember when they got up to 5%, they said, well, this is about what it was in the mid

1960s. I forget the exact date in the 1960s. And I thought, well, you know, they used to pay interest. I wonder what the savings account interest rate was when the home mortgage rate was like five and a half percent. And I looked at it and they were paying, they were, the home mortgage rate was like five and a half percent and they were paying people 4% on their accounts. Now you get like one-tenth of a percent or something like that,

or less typically. And then they're charging people 30% on these interest rates. I mean, that in and of itself, and do you hear any of the politicians say anything about this? No. They're all bought off. Yeah, I know. I said, if I were to run for Congress, that would be the central thing that I would talk about. I would talk about this? No. They're all bought off. Yeah, I know. I said, if I were to run for Congress,

that'd be the central thing that I would talk about. I would talk about this. How did they get a 0% interest loan and then loan it out at 30%? And then when you, you know, the commercial real estate thing that you're talking about that began with the lockdown, it's really rolling out now. People are looking at the mechanism. I saw this week,

I didn't know what a mezzanine loan was. I talked about it yesterday with a guy from the Mises Institute. But, you know, they have these mezzanine loans because they're not the top in the debt stack, they call it. They're not the top guys. So they take a more risky position. They get more of an interest rate. But the government that bailed out the banks that were too big to fail said, you can't go with this risky loan. So it's going to be the small, medium-sized banks.

And now they've taken out these risky loans that really aren't secured. And it's really going to wipe out the small and the medium-sized banks because of this commercial real estate lockdown and the crash that's happening. It truly is amazing. We forecast this in the Trends Journal three years ago. That's right. That's right. We've been talking about it.

No one was talking about it. Yeah. No one was three years ago. That's right. That's right. We've been talking about it. No one was talking about it. Yeah. No one was talking about it. That's right. There's an article that came out in the New York Post, a piece of crap. What a propaganda paper. But anyway, foot traffic in New York City, down 33%. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. They're flooding up to where i am by the way up here in kingston they're leaving the city and flooding up to the suburbs and ex-burbs going back again to what bin laden said about usury laws and what we were just talking of the stuff he's saying. He said. You are a nation that permits usury, which has been forbidden by all religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on usury. And he goes on to say here. Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people.

Who have been hold sway in their political parties and fund their elections and campaigns with their gifts. Just what you were saying about Nikki Haley, getting all this dough and that guy DeSantis getting 20 million bucks. Yeah. He's saying, I'm saying, and then he goes, behind them stand the Jews who control your policy, media, and the economy.

And again, don't call me an anti-Semite. Number one, the people running Israel aren't Semites. They're Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe. The Palestinians are Semites. They're from the Mesopotamia region. Number two, three of my last four girlfriends were Jewish. Number three or four, whatever, my best friends are Jews. And my best friends are totally against what's going on.

Totally against it. What Israel is doing. Yeah, it's not a monolithic thing. You have Jews in the U.S. as well as especially in Israel opposing what the government is doing, but we're told that you cannot criticize the Israeli government. You cannot criticize Netanyahu. You cannot criticize the ADL. All of those are protected institutions, and as I said yesterday, I the adl uh you know all of those are protected institutions

and um and as i said yesterday i was talking about you know uh i talked about even before elon musk uh uh talked about um you know what how the adl had set up uh uh created their own monsters and everything i talked about the day before. And, you know, but they don't understand this. They don't want, the ADL is really their Ku Klux Klan. And they don't want to cut that off. They identify, they defend it, you know, the majority of people. And even people in the conservative media, you know, people like Shapiro and so forth, they're defending that.

What an arrogant piece of crap he is, Ben Shapiro and so forth. They're defending that. What an arrogant piece of crap he is. Ben Shapiro. What an arrogant boy. Oh, yeah. See that? Jews say ceasefire now. Yeah. Yeah.

Is that New York? Jewish Voice to Peace. New York Times? They took out a full page? Jewish Voice to Peace. They took out a full page of it Yeah, Jewish Voice of Peace, they took out a full page ad. They had a rally in Washington a couple of weeks ago. The numbers I saw were up to almost a half a million.

Barely made any press coverage. The one they had, the pro-Israel one, where the people are chanting, no ceasefire, no ceasefire. That was front page news, all news everywhere. They are approaching right up here in Kingston. Last Thursday, some 2,000 people took to the streets in front of this guy, Pat Ryan, who got $23,000, they said, from the Jewish ADL, whatever. Is he an elected official? Yeah.

Congressman or something? Congressman. Mm-hmm. And there were about 2,000 people right here. You've been up here, that little street up here. Yeah. Wow. And again, Jewish, but they call it pro-Palestinian rallies. Mm-hmm. They're not pro-Palestinian rallies they're not pro-palestinian rallies

they're anti-war rallies they're ceasefire rallies they're about peace you're not allowed to speak about peace you're banned from all the media and again you know i launch occupied peace so i just don't talk about it i try to make things happen yeah this is from the financial times you ready yesterday settlers seize on hamas attack to take more west bank land shine silverstein a jewish settler can see only one reason to the Moss attack in October. But one response, excuse me. Expanding the settlements and tightening further Israeli grip on occupied West Bank. Quote, let us leverage this to strengthen ourselves,

grow our communities and deepen our roots in our homeland. It ain't your homeland. was a palestinian homeland and i don't want to hear that your torah is the thing that i gotta believe in it's not the beginning of civilization well don't tell me i oh the guy isaac herzog that's the president of is? You ready? God gave us this land. Who are you talking to? What do you think, I'm still in kindergarten? Well, you know, what's interesting, Gerald, is when you look at Netanyahu, he's a secularist, and he's out there reading Bible passages as a dog whistle to the Christian Zionists who are here, to some people in his, his, but he doesn't believe any of that.

He doesn't live by any of that. And, and Ben Shapiro, he is interviewed by Joe Rogan. And he's like, yeah, I don't believe any of the Bible. I don't believe that the Red Sea was partied,

any of that stuff. And it's like, you only believe the parts that you like, you know, that are going to work out for you. That's the whole thing that, that bothers me. You know,

I look at it and I, I look at somebody like Mike Johnson. I think the whole thing that bothers me. I look at it, and I look at somebody like Mike Johnson. I think he's got his theology wrong. I think that he is ignoring the clear instructions because he wants to help to make this happen. But these other people are cynically using the Bible that they don't believe at all, and you know for their own purposes and um and then you know christians excusing violence because of their interpretation of what is happening with this but i just let me interject here uh geeksbusters thank you very much for the tip i appreciate that he says gerald i just renewed my subscription to trends journal i recommend this magazine to everyone only place for

real news before it happens absolutely and again 10 off if you use the code night so thank you very much geesebusters thank you for the support thank you for telling people what uh because gerald really does have an excellent publication is again a couple hundred pages or more every week and it's all indexed in an online magazine format and uh it's the news that you don't get other places. It really is. And, uh, so it's again, this, this whole thing about commercial real estate, let's talk a little bit about money and what is happening because we had, um, the, um, you know, last week, I loved the headline of one of the zero hedge things.

I said, you know, uh, they, they came down a little bit from the consumer price index, like 0.1%. And then look at the stock market goes crazy. And maybe you want to get some insurance on that, you know, take out a little bit of a hedge against that, because maybe that's a fool's gold rally that's happening there. But I think they really saw that as a signal of kind of what they were expecting, what you've been talking about for the longest time, saying that you think that they're going to force interest rates down. They will rig the statistics to justify it any way that they want to, just like they always do. They rig statistics for inflation. They rig statistics for unemployment.

They rig statistics for the pandemic. They just lie up one side and down the other. So they're going to come up with a justification saying, well, you know, we really have inflation under control. So let's freeze interest rates or actually start lowering them before the election. That's what you've been predicting for a long time. Is this the beginning of that? Yeah. Again, this is just some of the articles.

It's from Beijing. China's National Bureau of Statistics said domestic demand was still not sufficient and that manufacturers face low market demand. Okay. Manufacturers face Chinese exports last month were down 6.8%. They've been down every month like that since May. Was that month over month or year to year? Was that the 6.8%? 6.8% compared to October of last year. They've been going down every month compared to the last year. So it's not only there, your manufacturing index in the United States, in Europe, in China, way down.

They're in negative territory. You don't go by consumer sales you got to go by manufacturing you're manufacturing less because the great depression is coming again, by the numbers. Europe's problems are far bigger than a shallow recession. This is from Reuters on November 14th. And they go on. The bad news is that growth is hovering around zero with little out there to fuel a meaningful recovery. That on Tuesday showed gross domestic product shrank 0.1% in July to September from the previous

three months, pointing to a shallow recession. They're in recession. And again, the numbers are rigged. They're much worse than that. And then you keep going on. And Germany appears to be the biggest drag. Its energy extensive, heavy industrial industries rely on external demand for growth, leaving it poorly prepared for the new realities, and potential growth rate for Europe's largest economy is now below 1%. Japan's economy shrank at the fastest annualized quarterly pace in two years. The Japanese yen is at its lowest level against the dollar,

you ready? In 30 years. Wow. Wow. None of this is being put together. And then, yeah, this is another one. Retail sales declined for the first time since March, as we just saw.

Consumers cut their spending at stores, dealerships, gas stations last month, tapping the brakes on economic growth. This is the Wall Street Journal. Ahead of a holiday shopping season, U.S. retail sales sold 0.1%. They fell more than 0.1%. Because when you put an inflation into it, it's a lot

lower. And the inflation numbers are a lot worse than what they're saying. Go to John Williams' shadow stats. They really double what they're saying. So the retail sales are down. And it goes on just with other articles i'm noting this because this is so important and then we've been writing about this week

after week in the trends journal about luxury sales and retail sector you're all going down Burberry's shares sick nine percent as luxury spending slowed down bites the world's largest group another one LVMH also reported a quarterly slowdown last month which we reported about if you see luxury going down, you know it's going down everywhere. If they stop buying at the top, the bottom is going to fall out. This isn't rocket science, but no one is saying what I just said

in the mainstream media. I mean, there were the Peter schiff's that know about this and and and others you know uh rich dad robert kiyosaki you know uh nomi prins you know they know this but the mainstream media doesn't talk about it because they're all again funded by those who want to keep the phoniness going because they buy advertising and they need to sell more crap. So when you put this together and you see where this is going, 80% of American households are in worse financial position now than they were before the COVID pandemic hit. This is a Reuters story. No, not the COVID pandemic. It was not a pandemic.

Yeah, that's right. The World Health Organization called it a pandemic on March 11, 2020, when the grand total of 4,219 people died out of 88 billion. So it wasn't a pandemic. It was a COVID war. And the deaths in 2021, when the vaccine started getting pushed on everybody by Biden, just dwarf anything in 2020. And of course, they did get the death rates up because they were pushing out a death protocol that was out there. But yeah, you're right. No pandemic that was there they were pushing out a death protocol that was out there. But yeah,

you're right. No pandemic that was there. Oh, you know, everybody calls it a pandemic. Yeah, I know. I know the pandemic did it.

It wasn't Trump. It wasn't Biden. It was the pandemic did it, you know, and not all the politicians, all of they didn't do it. And again, what I'm mentioning this is because when you talk about the tour,

you talk about the Bible, you talk about this or that, everything's rewritten. Does it? It's not things. History isn't written the way it happens. People start making it up and putting their own language into it. In the future, they're going to write about the pandemic that hit in 2020. Mm-hmm. That's right.

Yeah, they'll flush us down the memory hole, and they'll have their own version of history. But, you know, you look at it and and you know look at what happened in shanghai earlier this week gerald i had i came across a video it was about 15 minutes long and i took some excerpts from it and showed it on the program and it was um somebody walking around guangzhou guangzhou is you know a huge city political city is where the u.s embassy is It's where the U.S. Embassy is. It's where we had to go through to adopt our daughter and everything. Guangzhou, modern, wealthy city.

And Shanghai, very, very wealthy. They were locked down ruthlessly to teach them a lesson. It didn't have anything to do with a pandemic. Nothing was going on with that. And now these people are walking around and saying, everywhere you look, it for lease the businesses have closed it's a ghost town the thing that was amazing to us when we were there uh we didn't go to shanghai we went to guangzhou and and other places and you could barely move i mean it was amazing how many people they had packed in walmart how many people they had packed on the roads the roads roads were empty. The streets were closed.

They went into malls, one mall after the other. Everything, everywhere, empty, empty. They got like a 90% vacancy rate there instead of a 40% vacancy rate, I think, or 40% occupancy rate. They got a 10% occupancy rate. And so, I mean, it is absolutely amazing. And it was all done to them, but of course they'll say it was a pandemic that did it. It was she who was, uh, you know,

exercising his authority in the same way that Mao did the, the great leap forward or, uh, the cultural revolution to establish his authority or the same way that Stalin did the Halamador. It is all about them exercising their authority and, um, and, you authority and killing, impoverishing, enslaving people just to show them who's boss. And that's what it was all about, showing Shanghai who was boss. And so everybody, once that got lifted, as you point out, people leaving New York and going to upstate New York and getting out away from the city. Same thing happening in China, but with an even bigger vengeance because the lockdown was even worse there well you know you talked about the dictatorial uh you talk about china being dictatorial again same thing in america if you don't believe the crap that i'm spewing out of my mouth i'm a government official you believe in

misinformation yeah that's right you're blacklisted you gotta believe the crap coming out of the government's mouth you're blacklisted just like now they're censoring everybody in the colleges, the universities, everywhere

they call you an anti-Semite but coming out against the genocide and look up what the definition of genocide is, and it's perfectly what's going on, what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Yeah. Eliminating a nationality. That's right. That's what the Turks did to the armenians that's

where they first used the term genocide get them all off the land and that's what is uh what is happening here but of course that's just the issue of the day and nikki haley says um you know we gotta all give her she wants to know everybody's name everybody's name it's like who gives you that authority and and what is that for that's to oh we're gonna make everybody so nice and i said when i looked at it's like oh we know look at look at trump on social media everybody knows who he is isn't he nice now because everybody knows who he is it's not gonna make people polite it's simply a a a structure of tyranny it's a way to uh get to push a global id on us because um you know they they want that they want to channel everybody into a global ID on us because, you know, they want that.

They want to channel everybody into a virtual world. They want to have an ID to get into that virtual world and participate in it. That's what it's all about. It's just amazing to me how they're propping her up, not just with cash, but with phony push polls that they're propping her up with. Who wants to vote for that woman? She's the product of the military industrial complex and big business and big pharma and big war. All of these polls that you're seeing right now, they've announced the Super Bowl winners, Gerald, before the first preseason game has even been played.

Again, as I said, you said what Xi did to China and his dictatorial powers, how about that little daddy's boy with a pair of cojones smaller than a mothball, a little nothing of a clown, George W. Bush, who gave us the war on terror, that robbed us of so many of our rights, gave us homeland security, gave us the NSA to keep spying on us all the time.

What's the difference? Tell me the difference. Tell me the difference. Well, that's when, you know, under Bush, he started, yeah, he started the, you know, the first dark winter. He started practicing that stuff, you know, in 2001, even before nine 11. And then he puts together the prep act in 2005 to give legal immunity to, uh, you know, Pfizer, Moderna and all the rest of them. It, you know, he was, uh, all this stuff that happened to us in 2020, it's just the other shooter drop from his 9-11 really was.

Yeah. Again, and what also happened is that, as I keep saying, when all else fails, they take you to war. That's right. People don't remember that there was the dot-com bust, by the way, which we had forecast in the Trends Journal, let's see if it's somewhere, back in October of 1999. We said it would bust by the second quarter of 2000.

It crashed in March of 2000. People forget that Bush's ratings were going into the toilet. Then all of a sudden 9-11 happened. We're going to get that guy Osama bin Laden dead or alive. 88% of the people believed it. Now let's go back to the Israel war. Ask anybody anywhere.

Hey, do you know about the 39 weeks of protests that were going on in Israel before this happened? Do you know about the Judiciary Reform Act? Duh. But did you hear about Taylor Swift? They know all about Taylor Swift. There were hundreds of thousands of people protesting in Israel for 39 weeks in a row following the Netanyahu's government's Judicial Reform Act,

which basically said the courts don't count anymore, the politicians do, and I'm putting this act in place because I'm being brought up on corruption charges, and I don't want to go to court. I'm not calling it a civil war. Ha ha, that's the Israeli newspaper, the Times of Israel, the Jerusalem Post. Government officials called it a civil war was going on in Israel before this happened. Before Hamas attack, which I'm totally opposed to what they did, of course. But I also, reading the facts, the United States warned Israel this was going to happen.

Egypt warned it was going to happen. And the Israeli intelligence warned that it was going to happen. And he ignored it. He wanted it to happen. Because everybody forgot about the judicial reform, and now we're united to fight. Yeah, yeah. Again, when all else fails, they take you to war that's right yeah you're talking about everybody knowing about taylor swift well everywhere i i don't go to entertainment websites but i can't avoid taylor swift and they're using her this this um you know they've got 150 inflation

in argentina they got this libertarian guy who he's he's pretty brusque I mean he doesn't take any prisoners when he goes on interviews and you know he's pretty rough uh with his opposition uh but they're using the Swifties uh to uh that's their big hope is that they can block him uh by using a Taylor Swift she's going there for a concert and they got this big fan club of hers, even in Argentina. And they think it's big enough that they can actually block him this weekend. They've got the final election and,

uh, you know, perhaps they'll do that. Uh, it is, it's kind of interesting, uh, to,

to see how this whole thing is playing out. The old people are Peronistas. They, you know, they love, uh, Vita Peron, right?

The younger people love Taylor Swift. So maybe we can, uh, get the, the younger people who are looking at this and saying, I don't have any future in a country that's got 150% inflation. Well, let's tell them that Taylor Swift is against Freedom Advances. That's the name of his party. So that's what they're saying, Swifties against Freedom Advances. They kind of self-owned themselves right there. Can you believe this?

Yeah. It's just crazy. You know, when I was a number two guy running a trade association, after the trade show, then we put on an event for the people that were in the trade show. And I was in charge of one where I put in Ella Fitzgerald. Live or Memorex? Yeah.

At the Atlantic Convention Center. Can you compare Ella Fitzgerald to a Billie Holiday, to a Peggy Lee? All these greats of the past these are nothings they're nothings yeah matter of fact we went backstage and um you know i introduced myself to her and i was married at the time my my former wife passed on uh marianne she said uh ella fitzgerald said to my wife you remind me you look like my goddaughter, Carmen. So anyway, I also put on one. I took over the Superdome and put on one with Dionne Warwick back in 1967.

Yeah. So when I see the clowns. She was an amazing talent. Yeah. The clowns that are out there now. And, you know, again, I really suggest that everybody, you could get, I believe that piece written by Bin Laden, I'm telling you, it's very important. Because here's the ending of it, David. I want to read this to you. Again, think for yourself as the motto of the Trends Journal.

And what we do, we report on what they're saying, what was being reported. Then we give our trend analysis and our trend forecast. You know, we're not skewing what's being reported. We're saying here's the positives, the negatives. This is what you have to look at. And this is where we see it going. This is how he ends it. Right at the end. Look. If Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance, and righteousness that we call to them. You ready?

Then be aware that you will lose this crusade Bush began. Just like the other previous crusades in which you were humiliated our message to the Americans as an answer to theirs do they know

why we fight them and over which form of ignorance we shall be victorious. But anyway, just like the other previous Crusades, and what did I show you before? Again, this is written in 2002, and this is your Trends yeah in 2006 crusades 2000 yeah we want this is another crusades it's in front of everybody's eyes to see i'm not my language the language coming out of that little clown boy graham lindsey graham i can't

it's a religious war you're all calling it a religious war what the hell am i involved as an american in a religious war for yeah yeah why am i involved in your religious war well why are we involved in every war you know in every war of course i mean in ukraine i mean that's not you know that that was oh ukraine was over what's what's wrong with you it's out of the news no yeah it's out of the news but i don't think it's out of their mind they're just kind of putting it on the back burner they're going to keep still sending all that money to them it's absolutely amazing and i don't think it's not the amazing thing i don't know if you saw this i talked about earlier in the show chris christie criticizing criticizing his competition and he says uh no you know this this war i'll tell you what winning means in ukraine he said it means

that ukraine gets all of its territory back and then some so it's like and then some uh you're going to go in and he says and it'll be up to to, you know, we'll talk with the Ukrainians and see if it's a, we'll decide between us. If we want to go in and take some territory from Russia, it's like, what an arrogant blimp this guy is. He does. And again, it's the same type of stuff. You'd always see him say, well, you know, if we're going to put troops in Syria, we'll, we'll talk to our allies in NATO and make a decision.

We'll let you in Congress. No, this is same type of arrogance uh that he exudes here and and again he you know he he's just he's giving dog whistles to the military industrial complex hoping that he can get the kind of money that nikki haley is getting but these people are dangerous every one of them everyone and you were mentioning about rand paul before i came on the air yeah yeah he voted He voted to send more money to Israel, too. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Again, he's so different than his father, Ron Paul, who I greatly admire. Yes, yes.

That's the last person I voted for. Yeah, yeah. I haven't voted for president since 2012. I'm not going to vote for these clowns. Yeah, yeah. It's a freak show in front of our eyes. This is the fall of the Roman Empire. It really is.

It really is. Yeah. It's, um, you know, we're talking about Taylor Swift and how the, uh, the culture has fallen.

Uh, I played a clip earlier this week. Guy did this great job of, um, taking a Taylor Swift song and having AI do it with Johnny Cash voice and Johnny Cash's style. And then I had never heard this song that she was so famous for. It was called blank space, evidently referring to the area between her eyes.

And, and so it was, uh, Karen and I listened to, uh, the original and it's like, it's all auto-tuned and the rest of the stuff. And it's like, how does she-tuned and the rest of stuff and it's like how does she wind up being such a international superstar she can't obviously can't sing she's afraid to to do it without auto-tuning i guess i don't know i'm just saying it's an example of the entire society idiocracy yeah yeah idiocracy it really is yep so how do you see this rolling out because you know the u.s is going to be trying to economically, the U S is going to be trying to, you know, as they're ramping up the wars, they're going to try to be taking

down the interest rates to benefit Biden for this. First of all, do you think Biden is going to make it to the election or is he going to step aside and give it to nuisance? He's going to give it to governor nuisance yep gruesome nuisance yep and again we said that they would lower interest rates in the run-up to the presidential reality show they do it all the time look who's our fed head i mean our treasury secretary the former fed head janet yellen how stupid can you be the former Fed head Janet Yellen how stupid can you be the former Fed head is now our Treasury Secretary

can't you see who's running the government banksters right in front of your eyes that people are too blind to see so they're going to want to keep the power in place so they're going to lower interest rates in 2024

they're not going to do anything this month or next month. They'll keep them where they are. And then they'll start lowering it. What's that going to do to Europe? Because we're starving them for energy. When we start lowering the interest rates to get a Democrat reelected, what's that going to do to Europe's economy? Well, Europe's economy is going down

they're going to low interest rates too but here's the important thing as we see it gold prices are going to go up very high and this is going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar the only reason the dollar is strong is because interest rates are high once interest rates go down it's the abandonment of the dollar most of the world is totally disgusted with America. You got the European nations that still suck up to us, but the rest of the world's had it. Bricks keep getting bigger and bigger. Look what they were going to do with all these sanctions that were going to destroy Russia.

The sanctions that they put on Russia was going to bring them. You buy the oil at $60 a barrel. Didn't work at all. So as interest rates go down, gold prices are going to go up. you buy the oil at $60 a barrel didn't work at all. Uh, so the, as interest rates go down, gold prices are going to go up. Mm. Yep.

Yep. And of course it's also going to be helped, I think by the concern that people have about this, uh, uh, European ID that's rolling out, you know, this guy, uh,

theory Breton, you know, says, Oh, now we've got the digital wallet. And I, you know, the same people that gave us all of the,

uh, the passports, uh, for the pandemic and all the rest of the stuff now want everybody to have a digital wallet. And, uh, they said, now we've got to have something that goes in it, meaning, uh, the CBDC, you know, this, this guy, uh, theory, I said, do you want to know who the conspiracy theory conspiracy theory is a person is this guy theory Breton is the conspiracy theory that everybody's been talking about conspiring to get everybody a global id rolling it out from europe and then they'll do it around the world and so i think i keep talking looking at gold and i keep saying well to me yeah certainly you can look at the fundamentals and look at inflation coming and

the monetary crisis and other stuff but it's really really the CBDC thing that really concerns me. You talked about Argentina with its 150% inflation rate. People in Argentina, a lot of them are buying cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, because their currencies are going down so strongly. So we also see Bitcoin, and we've been forecasting the numbers in the Trends Journal, right on the numbers.

We hit it right on the head, and we see Bitcoin going at least to 42,000 in the short term as, as this continues, because the people have, they're getting more and more younger people that Bitcoin is their gold. But, you know, they just had a massive power outage in Australia. Took down people. You know, they've largely gone cashless there. People couldn't process any payments or anything because they took down the telecom thing. If you look at this as things start to escalate in terms of war and everything, that's the thing that concerns me about crypto.

I know that people who know really what they're doing, they can do it with a wallet. But still, this idea that you got something that's tied to the internet, that's the thing that really scares me about the crypto stuff. I agree with you. And again, we're also saying that they're all going to go digital.

Again, we've been writing about this since 2014. We've been writing about this fee since 2014 we've been writing about digital currencies and and and in three years ago one of our covers was from dirty cash to digital trash so what's going to happen when they all go digital that's going to kill they're going to do everything they can to stop the competition yes and that's they'll go after that's no go after bitcoin yeah that's right absolutely and of course you also got jp morgan the rest of them trying to you know do these ep etfs and derivatives and stuff like that off the cryptocurrencies to try to hone in on it and redirect it as well um i got a couple of comments and tips here fawn c thank you very

Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as 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. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
