All right, and joining us now, we get the opportunity to speak to a man I respect greatly
and admire greatly.
He is the great Gerald Salente, speaking to us from Kingston, New York, the four corners
of history.
Gerald, welcome back to the David Knight Show.
I salute you from afar from
New Hampshire, and it's great to see you again after I saw you a few months ago down in Kingston.
Welcome to the show, Gerald. Thank you, and thank you for your kind words, and thank you for coming
to the Occupy Peace Rally. It was wonderful. I loved being able to see you there. It was great
to see Scott Ritter. The video from Roger Waters was phenomenal. And what a crowd you
put on a great show, Gerald, a great show.
Thank you. You know, it's, it's so sad that there's no real, you
know, we're doing, I'm a one man show. I mean, you know, we had
Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter, you said, you know, Randy
Critico brought Roger Waters there,
you know, in a live stream from, and there's no support. There's no real big support.
Could you imagine, could you imagine if the billionaires put a billion dollars for peace,
we'd have it tomorrow? Absolutely. We'd have it tomorrow, not a penny.
You know, one of my tenants, and you were there,
you see the beautiful buildings I have
on the four corners of freedom,
only four corners in America
with pre-revolutionary warstone buildings.
Yeah.
One of them I rented out for a number of years
to Warren Buffett's son, Peter Buffett. Never gave me a penny for peace.
Not a penny for peace.
They have so many other things on their agenda, don't they?
Not a penny for peace. And again, an arrogant guy. He never even would say,
well, I'm the landlord. He wouldn't say hello to me. I'm only a little guinea from the Bronx.
Don't you know who my daddy is? Don't you know who my daddy is?
That's the way they look at all of us, like batteries for generations. They have looked
at us as sources of energy for their war machine and for their special interests.
Yeah, arrogant little pieces of crap. You call these guys out man to man, they don't know whether to piss or shit.
They fold like that. They're a bunch of arrogant pieces of crap.
Oh, you don't believe me? Take a look at what's going on in New York City.
We got little Andy Cuomo, another little daddy's boy. My daddy was Mario Cuomo. I'm renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge after my daddy.
Oh yeah, a little bastard that closed down New York State and destroyed it when he was the governor
of New York. Oh, they threw him out because what? He's accused of feeling up with chicks.
Unbelievable. Now he's leading the race in New York to become mayor.
And he's all talking about crime and trying to protect people.
How many people died as a result of that guy's policies?
How many old people died because he
thought he had the prerogative to take people's tax money
and operate a machinery of death, putting
old people in with each other who were sick.
Yeah.
Unbelievable.
Took them out of hospitals and put them in nursing homes.
Insane.
Absolutely crazy.
And I could keep going on with these daddy's boys.
Let's do another one.
How about just up, not far from you, a place called Canada.
Remember little Pete, what's his name?
Justin Trudeau?
Yeah.
Oh, my daddy was a Fidel Castro, I forget, was it?
Or, yeah.
They do look a lot alike.
How about the little slimeball arrogant piece of scum
you can knock out like that?
Hey, I'm Anthony Blinken.
I was the secretary of state under Biden. Oh, I promoted the
genocide war. But you know, Gerald, the thing that gets me is, the thing that gets me is,
they all operate under these artifices of gentility, where
you've got Justin Trudeau, while he's getting ready to trample a 70 plus year old woman
out in Ottawa with horses, and he breaches the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
And he prevents travel between the provinces,
which is forbidden.
There's supposed to be travel between the provinces.
He sends Canadian troops in there.
Facts don't matter.
Yeah, they don't care.
Blinken doesn't care about the Constitution.
He'll jet all around the world, stand very tall,
and offer as many weapons as the criminal Netanyahu wants.
And then to add insult to injury,
you've got Fetterman going and meeting
with that genocidal maniac and his wife who's up on charges.
And you get another presentation of a beeper present
to Fetterman and he says,
oh yeah, I really loved when I saw that.
They're blowing kids' hands off.
They're blowing people.
Look, what I'm saying is, you're going through all these things, the facts don't matter.
It's being run by evil people.
End of story.
And I going on about how they're all little...
George Carlin, great comedian.
It's one big club and you ain't in it. Absolutely. And going on about how they're all little, George Carlin, great comedian.
It's one big club and you ain't in it.
Absolutely.
And by the way, his brother Patrick used to work for me.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
And for a number of, quite a while.
But anyway, the, look at the little clown boy that you were talking before about, you
know, the Patriot
Echo, all this other stuff.
Yeah.
George E. Bush.
Yeah.
A little moron of a clown.
Don't you know my daddy was?
Don't you know my uncle was?
I'm telling you, it's one big club.
Yeah.
So we're talking about the facts and what they're doing.
It doesn't make any difference.
They're evil people.
Bottom line, end of story. They're evil people running a country near
you.
Jared, I'm curious to get your thoughts, because as we look at the snapshot of things right now, the way they are, and
you know, we lay these things out, it's so easy to recognize how so many people want entrance into the club, right? You get these
people, Pam Bondi, or it's a woman from New Hampshire, Caroline Levitt now, the spokeswoman,
coming up with all these ridiculous claims about people who are here on green card status,
and they're going to ship them away because they don't like the protesting on college campuses and they're going to use the same kind of terminology
that was used by the Bidenistas against Catholics as potential terrorists and they're going
to ship them out just because they're calling for peace.
So with that snapshot, the way things are today, I'd love to get your thoughts and in
fact let's get our, we have a Russian team here
because we spread the Russian propaganda, Gerald,
on, in my studio.
I wanna show people the Trends Journal.
Given what we're seeing today
with these attacks on civil liberties,
and they're very clearly attacks on civil liberties.
They can't use the Alien, the Alien Enemies Act
unless there's a declared war, and they're using it anyway.
And conservatives aren't talking about it.
They don't care because they wanna be part of that club now.
They think that they're in there.
They think, oh, Cash Patel's in at the FBI.
He's now part of the club.
No, he's being used by the people who control the club.
Tell me what you think right now about things about,
for example, the Middle East,
how the Israelis broke the peace,
how they continued to insist, and I tried to stress this to people at Anteward, Dave DeCamp,
Max Blumenthal has done a great job covering this, as so has Aaron Monte, as they've described how
the Israelis continued to break the ceasefire arrangements, demanding that only certain
prisoners be released by Hamas.
You got to put soldiers out first.
I thought they cared about the civilians.
And then they broke it themselves, starving people.
As we look at that and we look at the threats they're trying to target Iran, they're bombing
the Houthis, Trump coming off a golf course to kill innocent kids in a cancer ward.
Where do you see some of these war trends
and how they work towards the trends that you're seeing
for things like crude oil and other things
that people might start seeing affected
here in the United States?
We're going to see if Trump keeps talking up
going after Iran and Israel and the United States go to war with Iran,
you're going to see Brent crude, which is now around $70 a barrel, go to around $120
a barrel. And that'll crash the global economy and the global equity markets. Simple as that. And these are some of the quotes. This is the BS spewing out of Trump's mouth.
We're going to have peace through strength. We will not have to fight. I'm moving quickly to end
wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace. I want peace. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.
Those are some of Trump's quotes. What are you talking about? You're threatening the Houthis.
You're saying you're going to, oh, he calls them barbarians.
Are they barbarians? Why are the Houthis bombing these ships? They said they're
bombing these ships because of what you're doing to the Palestinian people and when you
stop it, we'll stop it. How dare they try to stop the slaughter of the Palestinian people?
What's going on in front of everybody's eyes,
and it's barely reported in the Western media anymore, the destruction, bombing this place into
ruins. Depending on the numbers you look at, Lancet, for example, says well over 100,000
Palestinians have been killed already. The place has been totally demolished. Now there,
Israel's violated deceased fire
agreement. You know, they haven't left Lebanon. They've gotten five areas that they're securing
now. They're bombing it virtually every day, knocking out entire neighborhoods. And if
you come out against them, why, you're an anti-Semite. And that's the other thing I really want to make clear.
The people running Israel are not Semites.
Semites, Google it up, are from the Mesopotamia region.
These are Ashkenazi Jews.
Right.
A-S-H-K-E-N-A-Z-I.
Ashkenazis.
Oh, Ben-Gurion. No, no, not Ben-Gurion.
The cat made up the name, man.
It's green.
Oh, how about Netanyahu?
You mean Milikowski?
Right.
These are all Eastern Europeans, Khazars.
And look up how wonderful the Kazars was.
Oh, yeah, murderous group that they had to wipe out at one time.
Oh, by the way, they didn't convert to Judaism into what?
Like about 300 A.D. or something.
Yeah, yeah.
And, you know, over.
What they're doing now, they are going to do everything they can to wipe out the Palestinians.
They've they've thrown out over 40,000 Palestinians out of the West Bank, out of their homes.
Forty thousand people, forty thousand people out of their homes.
Oh, and if you fight against them, they're militants.
You're the bad guy.
It's the ultimate gaslight.
It's incredible.
I'll refer actually right now,
just to show you over at anti-war.
Here's another example.
Dave DeKamp released this yesterday.
White House, Trump fully supports Israel's Gaza slaughter.
White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt said Thursday
that President Trump
fully supports Israel's renewed massive bombing campaign in Gaza, which has killed at least
200 children since Tuesday. What really strikes me is Caroline Levitt come coming from New
Hampshire. Yeah, she used to do again. You don't ask crazy people why they're crazy.
A murder is why that it does. Oh, you know, don't even you don't ask crazy people why they're crazy, a murder is why they're, you don't even waste your time thinking about the person.
Yeah.
It's line ball pieces of crap.
Oh, by the way, I was the assistant to the secretary
of the New York State Senate.
All right, I used to work on major political campaigns
in Westchester County.
I taught American politics and campaign technology, how to run political campaigns in Westchester County. I taught American politics and campaign technology,
how to run political campaigns in Westchester County
at St. John's University.
I got pictures of me when I picked up Ronald Reagan,
put on a brunch with 69 board of directors.
I know what the deal is.
These are low life pieces of scum.
And that's why I quit.
But I wouldn't know what I know if I
wasn't on the other side. So you don't waste your time thinking about why these
people are doing that. You don't ask a murderer why they were a murderer, a thief,
why they were a thief. They're evil people. They sell out little pieces of
scum. So going back to what you were talking about with Trump, what you
were just reading. Trump warns Yemen Houthis they will be, quote, completely annihilated. He said
tremendous damage has been
inflicted upon the Barbarians
and watch how it will get
progressively worse. It's not
even a fair fight. Never will
be. This is Trump wrote this.
They will be completely annihilated. That's out of the mouth of this fat boy who,
same age as I am, who got four or five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.
Right. Real tough guy.
Real tough guy. Oh, you know what one of the deferments was? When he got out, a bone spur
on his ankle.
Ah, you must've been playing too much golf before he went to bomb people.
Yeah.
His dad, I had lunch with Trump's brother in 2017, his brother, Robin.
Robin had a restaurant over here.
They, it's story was, it was one of Trump's old girlfriends.
He would help him keep it going.
Anyway, I spent three hours with him. The brother told me that when the father died,
they left the family over half a billion dollars he talks real tough. A lying piece of scum,
and I'm saying that from what he said before. You ready? I want to see the Middle East get
back to peace and real peace. But a peace that is going to be a lasting peace, I want immediate peace.
Hey, hey slimeball, you just said that you're going to annihilate the Houthis and you're
calling them barbarians.
Oh, don't call the Israelis barbarians for slaughtering all these innocent people.
Oh no, how dare you.
Right, right. Exactly. It's reminds me of the words of a mafioso in a region where the
mafia has claimed control and they're now trying to expand their territory. They've
got agents in some other place that are engaging in killing people and assassinating people.
And when somebody from a nearby town says,
I'm gonna try to bring peace
so that those people can get food,
they're now gonna attack them, the Houthis,
and they're claiming that they're the bad guys.
It is pure gas lighting.
It's incredible.
And the thing that gets me about it is,
I was listening to Dave DeKamp talk about one of the surgeons who went down into Gaza
from America and has repeatedly gone in and the descriptions of what had been done to those kids
and women and how these people can act in this way and additionally swear oaths to the Constitution without even getting a declared war and get away with it
Means that it's incumbent on me to educate and try to spread the word as much as possible
Again, what's your favorite words? You like the Peloponnesian war? Maybe you liked a hundred-year war. Oh the war roses was so lovely
Hey, what's your favorite crusade? I like the 12th better than the eighth.
All right, this stuff is going on forever. These are evil people. You see, you mentioned
the mafia. All right. As an Italian, you always hear about the mafia, you know, the mafia.
All right. How about the royal family? If they were Italian, you call them a mafia.
What royal family?
In what country are you talking about?
Oh, the royal family in Belgium that slaughtered people all over the Congo?
Oh, no, no.
You mean the royal family of the United Kingdom where the sun never set on the British Empire
and we slaughtered people all over the world.
If they were Italian, they call them the mafia.
Exactly, exactly.
These people, yeah, I'm tired of this mafia shit.
This is the mafia.
Gerald, I wanna show you something fun.
Che Bose from Moscow Mules posted this earlier today.
I think you'll appreciate it.
I showed it a few minutes ago on the show.
UK police have released images of two people
seen wearing stolen jewels from India and South Africa
in central London yesterday.
They are both unemployed and totally
reliant on state benefits.
Look at this.
This is a clown show. It's a clown show. Look at them. What human being
would go so low to dress like that? You think it's Halloween every day?
Unbelievable. Incredible.
I know. That's what I'm trying to say. It's a crime syndicate. If they were Italian, all these people,
you'd call it a mafia. It's a mafia. They are murderers and thieves.
Gerald, I'm curious to get your thoughts. And I do want to mention that if people want to get a
subscription to Trends Journal, and they want to see all the great reporting that you and your team
do, they can still get 10% off if they put the code night in. Is that correct, Gerald?
That's it. Great stuff. It's so inexpensive and the reporting on it, you can see over on the
screen everybody, the Trends Journal told you so. Here's the told you, gold prices would sizzle,
equity markets would fizzle, and that's exactly right. And you've got over here, Trump orders airstrikes on Yemen
over Houthi defense of Gazans being starved by Israel.
These are the types of reports that I appreciate
because I'm getting truth and I'm getting a person
who looks at these things and has for a long time,
looks at these trends, looks at the importance
of sound money, looks at what the United
States government has done to artificially pump up certain sectors of the economy, like the housing
sector, and knows cents a week.
The magazine we cover from high tech science, technocracy, AI, geopolitics, economics,
we give people everything we can. You can listen to it, it comes in different languages,
it's a book, it could flip, you could pipe out the PDF.
And this is by the way, or else you could spend $4 a day
and you could subscribe to the toilet paper or record,
the New York Times.
Look at this stupid thing, look at all this wasted space
for a story, best's check the babies.
This is the business section.
They're giving you nothing, the media is gone.
We're giving the people everything we can.
And this is an important trend.
I'm gonna talk about two of them
that nobody's talking about.
One is the office building bust.
It's gonna crash a lot of the banking system.
And you can see the bank stocks going way down now.
When they launched the COVID war and they made people work from home, you now have an
office vacancy rate in the 10 largest cities in America of almost 20%.
Nobody in them.
So now the COVID war began five years ago, January 2020, Chinese
Lunar New Year, the year of the rat. That's when they launched it. Now the leases are
coming up after all that time. They're not renewing them. There's going to be major
defaults on these buildings. I'll give you the facts. Midtown Manhattan last year, 50th Street, a building that
was sold for over $300 million, and you can Google it up, in 2006 was sold last year
2006 was sold last year for $8.5 million. Wow. Sports Illustrated used to be there.
Here's the deal.
The building, again, on 50th Street,
Midtown Manhattan was in the middle of the street.
No windows on that side,
no windows on that side,
no windows in the back.
Buildings built within the last 50 years are not No windows on that side, no windows on that side, no windows in the back.
Buildings built within the last 50 years are not convertible to residential buildings.
End of story.
They're knocking it down and they're going to build something else there.
This is going on all over the country.
I just told you, showed you this, there is no journalism anymore.
They're not reporting on this. This is going to bring down
the banking system. Number two. It's so insulting and it's such a slight to, it's so disrespectful
of people because these are facts that are staring us in the face. Yep, not being reported at all.
There's no more journalism anymore. It's gone's gone. Again, you could you could thank in part this guy.
Yeah, he sure that I did in 1992.
It's classic.
Clinton was running for office.
I love that. All right.
Great. This is the slime ball that gave us the Federal Communications Act in 1996.
Yep.
Wiped out all the independent media,
did away with all the laws that prevented the bigs from taking over.
Now six companies control over 92% of America's media so that people aren't
getting anything. Number two,
dotcom bus 2.0. You're going to see the dot com
markets bust big time. And this is your Trends Journal when it used to be a quarterly, now it's weekly. Story over here, dot com this. This is 1999, fall edition.
We said the markets had crashed, the dot com, yeah, I'll read it to you.
Dot com overload will short circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet
commerce, entertainment, and a wide array of dot com services.
Following the holiday season, many of today's high-flying internet stocks, the hottest
IPOs and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
We said it would crash by the second quarter of 2000 and it did. You nailed it. And you know,
Gerald- We are going to have a dot-com bust and I'm going to give you the facts of why.
And it's going to crash the markets and gold prices are going to skyrocket.
Here's why.
I just talked about slick Willie Clinton.
This is the guy that gave us NAFTA and gave us China into the World Trade Organization. Tracking trends is making
connections between different fields. Let's go back to 2000, just before China
got into the World Trade Organization. Ten percent of Chinese 18-year-olds went
to college. Ten percent. Today, nearly 70 percent. What does that mean? Let's go back to the end of January. All
of a sudden, we hear about this company we never heard of before, DeepSeek. DeepSeek?
Oh, yeah, a Chinese company. We don't need those big chips for AI.
We need smaller chips.
And it's not costing us $100 million to pull this off.
We did it for $6 million.
On January, I think it was January 27th, Nvidia stocks dove 17%, wiped out $600 billion of value one day.
Amazing.
All right?
Totally out of the news now.
By the way, NVIDIA, look it up, the most used AI in the world.
Not NVIDIA, excuse me, DeepSeek.
DeepSeek is now the most used AI in the world.
Okay.
I'm mentioning about all the young people going to college.
Young people are totally, totally high-tech addicted.
It's a different world.
This is their mindset.
China is going to lead the world in AI.
And again, you don't have to believe me.
Look at the facts.
Hey, take a look at the Hang Seng.
Oh, yeah.
Why?
Look at it.
From the end of January, it was down like that.
Deep sea kids, whoo.
Yep.
Way way up.
They're investing in these high tech companies out of China.
You go by the numbers, where they got 1.4 billion people over there.
What do we have over here?
About 340 million.
All right. You got all these young people that are A.I.
addicted now.
Again, we only write the facts in the Trends Journal.
The government is now supporting it as well.
So they're going to take over.
And all of these people, they hear.
The automobile was what invented like what 1886
or something. Right. Do you invest all your money in the first company that invented the automobile?
You don't invest your money in the beginning of a trend. Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die. AI only began in 2022. So everybody started investing in
these American companies when the trend just began. Just what happened with the dot-com thing.
And so we're looking at a dot-com bust that's going to happen.
You have to have a test of the different types of entries into the market and
that people are so eager to just jump aboard.
They don't realize sometimes they're jumping aboard a wagon that's got a square
wheel.
You got it.
Yeah.
So those are two trends that are and then again, gold we're very bullish on.
And again, you look at the magazine cover, gold prices are up 14% this year.
Absolutely.
Last year, one of our top trends was a golden year for gold. Gold went up 27% last year.
The world has had enough of the United States hegemony. It's going to be the beginning
of the death of the dollar.
And Gerald, you know, I was speaking with Jason Sorens
of the American Institute for Economic Research
over in Great Barrington, not too far from you, you know,
and a beautiful area.
And in fact, I passed by there when I drove down.
The first time I met you, when David was there,
I passed by the Great Barrington,
the Institute and their building.
And so Jason's with them
and he was speaking down in New Orleans.
And we were talking about how,
because of the pressure from American exporters
and Donald Trump's mindset,
Powell signaled, of course, day before yesterday,
they're not gonna, they're keeping rates as they are.
And I worry greatly that to try to stimulate
American exports and of course,
to try to give some bump to the economy as Trump comes in,
they're gonna pursue even further an inflationary program,
which will make everything you just mentioned even worse
when the crash comes sometime this year or
next year. I think the crash is going to come this year on the dot-com bust. Again, since we made that
forecast, the NASDAQ went into correction territory, down more than 10 Yeah. The S&P is just on the fringe of going into correction territory.
Yeah.
And the Dow's down again today.
Yep.
And I'm telling you, I've been at this for 45 years.
I've never seen a time like this.
And what you're saying about Trump saying he wants to lower the value of the dollar
so exports could increase.
It's not only that who's going to bring down the value of the dollar, the world has had enough of
the United States hegemony, be it geopolitical or economic. The dollar is the top reserve currency. That's coming to an end. And when the dollar goes
down, gold prices go up. It's as simple as that. Now, let's go back to what's going on.
Again, Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He's full of crap. I go by the facts,
as I just read about what he said about peace. How about this one? Before he becomes president,
he says, when I become president, I'm going to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
Not my language is. Then what happened in January? The Federal Reserve kept interest
rates where they were. What did Trump say? Well, they did the right thing by keeping interest
rates where they are. Hey, wait a minute, fat mouth. You just said you wanted to lower them.
Yeah, I know, but I speak out of both sides of my mouth. So what happened the other day,
on Wednesday, when the Fed said we're not going to raise interest rates? What did Trump say?
They got to lower interest rates. Hey, it got so. You just said a month ago that it was okay with
it. He keeps going back and forth. So here's the news.
It's like his terror for rhetoric.
One of the things that economist Robert Higgs
brought up that ratcheting effect
when Higgs released that book, Crisis and Leviathan, years
ago.
He talked about one of the early things
I learned from reading his economics stuff from the Mises
Institute was how during the Great Depression,
businesspeople were very reluctant to get back into
starting any business because they didn't know how much they were going to get hit by
that criminal FDR.
They didn't know what the taxes were going to be.
So their investments and things got delayed.
There's this uncertainty factor that is just rampant in the United States.
In addition, as you say, to the absolutely ridiculous military
spending and the way that the United States is meddling in so much, now causing problems
for Americans who want to get oil from the Middle East. It's going to get ridiculous.
And I don't see, Trump seems to be in a mad scramble, which I applaud to allow the United
States to be able to do exploration and recovery of energy. And that that would be great.
But in the meantime, how about you stop spending all this money and stop going
along with the Republicans and claiming that they're cutting spending when
they're not Thomas Massey and Rand Paul pointed it out. The budget increases. It
doesn't decrease. It's insanity. Going back to Trump, what did they just do yesterday?
Yeah.
With sanctions on Iran to cut back their oil income.
And yet they go after the Houthis because the Houthis are blocking trade, as they say.
Originally, the Houthis were only targeting the Israeli shipping, the American shipping,
because it was a response to the aggression of the Zionist state. So the very
tactics that they derived from other states, they applied to the Russian economy. You can't do trade
with the Russians. We're going to go after these two guys from Turkey. Why? Well, they wanted to
buy some stuff from Russia. So we're going to sanction them. It's the same thing. They do the same thing. And yet the pot calls the kettle black. It's insane.
You know, going back, you mentioned about FDR and I'm gonna talk about gold. My father
may rest in peace told me the story that he said, you know, I was dating your mother. They got married in 1934. He
said, I go over to your grandfather's house. It was 1933. And your grandfather was wrapping
up all his gold. He had a load of gold coins. I said, pop, what are you doing this for?
He said, your grandfather said to me, well, the president wants our gold and I'm a true
American and I'm turning in the gold. And my father said, what are well, president wants our gold and I'm a true American and I'm turning
in the gold. And my father said, what are you out of your mind? Don't do that. He said,
your grandfather started cursing at me in Italian. You don't know what you're talking
about. FDR made the people turn in their gold and they turned it in for $20 and 67 cents an ounce 1933.
Oh, but he was so honest just a little while after that.
It was wonderful what he did after that, right?
Right.
They increased the price of gold with the gold reserve act to $35 an ounce.
So after we stole it from the people, we raised the price, 70% increase.
Now I'm going to fast forward.
Trump and Musk spewing out this crap.
We're going to go into Fort Knox and see what they got in there.
Hey, they already know what's in there.
What are you kidding me or what?
Exactly.
Exactly.
So here's a wild card.
I believe they're going to make a big deal about going into Fort Knox and they're going
to say it's loaded with gold.
We have more gold than anybody else in the world.
And they're gonna pass a gold reserve act
and raise the price of gold
so that they could cover six trillion dollar debt.
Hey, we got the money to cover the debt, we're okay.
That's very astute.
That's a really good theory.
That's very interesting. That would be one way that they could get out a lot of that debt. Exactly.
I never thought that's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Wow.
And that's why we're very bullish on gold. Again, we don't give financial advice.
Yeah. Yeah, wait, you know the Trends Journal and going back by the way what you're saying about subscribing we're losing subscribers and
Because we're speaking out against genocide. This is an email that I got yesterday
Unsubscribing
Your take on Israel
Conflict is awful.
I wrote back, yes, you are unsubscribed.
The Trends Journal is not a magazine for evil people who support Israeli genocide.
And then I put the links of all of the Amnesty International, human rights, international
court, all the people that are calling it genocide. So it's not my language.
Good job. Good job.
So that's what's going on. So if you want, we're doing everything again. I put my money where my
heart is. I have launched Occupied Peace. We put out a magazine. There's no magazine in the world. If anybody could show me one that comes close to the Trends Journal, let me know. Nothing you see.
There's nothing like it. And Gerald, your reports on YouTube are phenomenal. Your segments on X
are phenomenal. I hope people will follow you. We'll show them your X feed in just a minute.
Your conversations with Andrew Napolitano, phenomenal, just great,
great stuff. And your admiration for the people who truly speak for peace. As we know, Roger Waters,
you know, can barely come close to Germany because they claim that Roger Waters, in speaking out
against fascism and doing portrayals of fascists in a mocking and, you know, in a mocking and insightful way
in some of his stage performances,
they claim that he's promoting fascism.
And I think that holding the line on the truth
is so important now.
And you're doing a terrific job at Trends Journal.
You've just inspired me.
What I think will be really fun would be
for me to get together with my subscription, with family members,
into little Zoom calls.
And maybe once a week, we compare notes
on different stories that we think
are important in different publications.
And we get together and read these things with each other.
I think that that might be a fun idea.
Or maybe I'll do it on Liberty Conspiracy
and just bring up, hey, here's one from Trends Journal.
Here's one from this as a separate thing.
Because I think it's important to promote the work
of good people like what you're doing.
And Gerald, you reminded me,
I definitely wanted to ask you about this
as we see the sort of sleight of hand,
the ledger domain of the Trump administration.
Last time you and I spoke,
I know we talked a little bit about your experience
in school being hit by the nun. And I related to you the experience I had being thrown in the closet by that teacher when I was in seventh grade and
I actually see that woman now at the post office and I've I've let it go
I actually almost started to cry one time because I actually started to talk to this woman and I forgave her in my heart
And and so now I do see her and we smile and it's different for me now.
But I remember what that was like.
And so I wanted to get your thoughts a little bit Gerald as we see things like
this generational fight from people like my father who worked for
Reagan trying to dismantle the education department.
The centralization and just the
philosophical mindset that everything's got to be done by the group, negating the ability of
individuals to make their own relationships with each other. What do you think about this announcement
of Trump dismantling the Department of Education when in fact they haven't even released the White House executive order and they already
said on Forbes, I read the piece that said, well, they're not really dismantling it. They're just
going to do it differently. What do you think about this announcement and just generally the
trend of many of the promises of the Trump administration? Again, I just read to you a
bunch of his going back and forth on
a listen to me. I'm going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours when I get elected.
They got some, I mean, it was a couple of months now.
Right. And now he wants their nuclear plants.
I got elected. I'm going to end that war before I get into office.
Again, the guy just talks crap.
Yeah. And it's a crap show.
Again, it's not only him, it's one after another.
You mentioned the disgusting Biden administration.
You know, go keep going back.
I mean, here could Orwell come up with a better name than the Patriot Act
that robbed us of all that our freedom
Yeah, and now they're leveraging that sort of rhetoric and you and you and Andrew Napolitano have spoken about this
They're leveraging that rhetoric against people on college campuses who simply are doing what we're doing and they're using the alien enemies act
And these fatuous canardfilled people in Washington aren't even
acknowledging the fact that the statute itself says during a declared war. They haven't done
that since World War II. It amazes me that they can get away with this stuff. And I was surprised
someone on MSNBC actually brought it up and said, well, you know, it's supposed to be during a
declared war. That was one of the few times I've actually seen them note what's actually written down in a statute
that's easily provable.
And they do this all the time.
I don't know why the MAGA people are in this twisted mindset
where because their guy is in there,
they think that they should throw all their support to him.
And I don't-
Why did they go for Hitler?
Did they like Mussolini?
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the people, it's the morons that just follow their leader. Why did they go for Hitler? Did they like Mussolini? Yeah.
It's the morons that just follow their leader.
Here, this is from July 15th, 2024.
Biden says he considers himself a Zionist.
All right?
But you're a Zionist? You mean this political movement has nothing to do
with religion. Zionism has nothing to do with religion. It was made up of this guy, what,
Herzl? What was his name?
Yeah, right. Theodore Herzl.
Yeah. I'm trying to hear this. The
3,500 years ago, I gotta 3,500 years ago. I gotta believe this fairy tale of yours.
Yeah, and David brought up a distinction
that many of the strong Christians,
not the Zionist Christians bring up,
which is that there's a difference between
political Israel under the polis
and Israel under the New Testament. And just don't want to face this.
You've got my company. I don't want to believe in anybody. Your religion is your religion. That's
what you believe in. I don't want to believe anybody's religion. Believe in what you want
to believe in but don't tell me I have to believe in it. That's all I say. Yes. Right. Right. Do whatever you want to do. Don't
tell me. Again, I started a church, Universal Church of Freedom, Peace and Justice. Began it
three years ago. Yeah. So believe in your God, but don't tell me I have to believe in it.
Well, Gerald. And by the way, they way, there's a whole article that came out.
They just sound like another skull or human bones
from like a million and a half years ago.
Right.
Oh no, no, no.
Everything began when God told Abraham.
Get the hell out of here, don't wanna hear it.
Gerald, I'm curious to speculate, and I don't wanna't want to hear it. Gerald. Well, I'm curious to think, to, to speculate.
And I don't want to speculate too far about, uh, first with Ukraine.
Um, it seems like we just heard the announcement that Trump is now floating
the idea of the United States running the nuclear plants in Ukraine, which
would mean, um, it's just insanity.
Uh, and then, uh, if we look at the targeting of Iran and pick either one or both as, as we offer you the opportunity to give the final word on on what you think. And you know, maybe it's really too, too chaotic to speculate, but
offer your opinion please. I got banned from TikTok for saying that
Kiev is not going to come to any kind of peace agreement with Russia because Russia's not going to give back the land that they got and what they're going to do is they're going to escalate this
war and they're going to bomb nuclear power plant some false flag event to get support to keep the
war going. Go to your Trends Journal this week and look at what Europe is doing, one country after
another, the whole NATO spending more and more money on defense spending. It's right there for
everybody to see. Exactly. And the EU now with their five to 10-year plan under Wanderland and those other criminal
people wanting their own military.
Yes.
They're ramping up the war because one of my sayings is when all else fails, they take
you to war.
All these economies are failing.
Germany, the third largest economy in the world is in recession.
Oh, they just passed this big, big bill to spend more money on defense.
Well, you know what?
All of Europe is bragging that this is going to create jobs.
Again, it's in your magazine.
This is insanity.
It's insanity.
No, it's not going to create jobs.
What it's going to do is cost more money and produce nothing.
That's exactly that. It's not like you're you're you're
you're manufacturing clothing that people are buying.
Now you're manufacturing weapons that nobody's buying that you're spending money to have.
So that's what's going to go on with that with the Ukraine war.
They're going to ramp up the war against Iran. Make this really clear. Ninety one million people in Iran.
How many Jews in Israel? About seven million. Wait a minute. Ninety one million against
seven million. Oh, Iran, Persians, very advanced scientifically, technologically, and militarily.
Oh, the United States is going to get involved in the war.
Hey, haven't won a war since World War II.
Or you wouldn't have won that without the Russians.
I forgot that.
But anyway, can't win the Vietnam War.
You only killed three and a half million.
Couldn't win the Iraq war.
Only killed all of our little millionaire, a couple of hundred thousand over Afghanistan.
Oh, you're going to beat the Iranians?
This is going to be World War III.
Look up the Samson option, S-A-M-S-O-N.
Yes, yes, yes.
Israel says if they lose, they go nuclear.
Yep. And it amazes me that they're constantly trying to ring this
or blow this dog whistle about Iran developing nuclear weapons
when Israel is the one that got the nuclear weapons through clandestine means starting in the 1950s onwards. Iran has always been open to nuclear inspections. They always show that they're not refining their fissile material to a point where they're making bombs. It's for energy production. And the United States has that country surrounded. And Gerald, I have to tell you, last night when I was listening to Scott
to to Dave DeKamp on the antiwar video that they release every every night at
midnight, essentially, that covers a lot of the antiwar.com stories.
This is the first time I usually don't go this far, but I got a sinking feeling
that there's going to be a false flag that they blame on Iran. I'm telling you. Yeah. What's that? Yeah. They're doing it already. They're
blaming Iran for supporting the Houthis. Yeah, yeah, good point. It's already coming out and saying he's
gonna destroy them. Yeah, yeah, so true. Well, look, Gerald, um, we're almost out of time, but I do want to make sure
that I stress having, you know, filling in for David and the audience here. I want to thank everyone.
I know there are a number of comments that people have, so many people that are in here, and this is
very interesting. We've got comments all over X that I can't even
keep track of. There's so many comments inside Rockfin as well
and inside Rumble. And I want to thank everyone for being there.
And I want to just mention, and I'll go through a couple of
comments after we say goodbye. But I want to just mention,
Gerald, again, that people can get the Trends Journal for 10%
off by putting in the code night. And I am going to start picking up that habit if I can
get some family members every once a week, everyone one of us
grab one or two little article articles that we think are
important or a couple times a week and we get together on
zoom. And we compare notes on some of these things or maybe I
do it on my Liberty Conspiracy show with with audience members
or something. Because I think it's important to make these connections and I'll come down and
see you in Kingston again, very, very soon. Yeah. It's a wonderful,
wonderful atmosphere you've created Gerald and you're a wonderful guy.
And I really appreciate what you do.
And I really appreciate what you do. I mean,
the information you have, the knowledge that you have and what you're doing,
you know, it's a rarity, right? Many cats out there doing what you're doing.
Well, it's so much for what you are doing and, and, and with David and everyone's
doing, and, um, again, we're, we're in a critical time and it's going to be the
end of life on earth.
If, uh, if this keeps going,
Gerald, I appreciate it so much.
You bring the jazz of life.
Good man.
You bring the jazz of life and I'll be back in touch with you through email.
And maybe you can pop in on my Liberty Conspiracy Show some evening or something like that,
and we'll have a great time.
We'll talk about Louis Belson on drums.
All right.
Thank you so much, Gerald Salente.
Remember everybody, get the Trends Journal.
It's muy, muy fantastic.
Gerald, I'll see you in the Four Corners. I'll bring you dinner sometime, all right? All right. Thanks's muy, muy fantastic. Gerald, I'll see you in the four corners. I'll bring
you dinner sometime, all right?
All right. Thanks a lot, man.
Thanks, Gerald. Gerald Salenti, great stuff from Gerald. Take care, Gerald.
