Well, this is True News, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help us God. I'm Rick Wiles. Two weeks ago, we celebrated our 23rd anniversary reporting, analyzing, and commenting on national and world news. One of my fellow passengers on America's crazy train has been Gerald Salente. His crazy train seat is in the Trends Journal train car

and mine has been in the True News train car. Well, America's crazy train's speed is accelerating. The train is out of control and headed toward a massive wreck. At present, it appears that we are rushing into a nuclear war with Russia, and few people seem to even care about it. Gerald Salenti is the founder and publisher of the Trends Journal. He recently expanded the Trends Journal to a digital publication on Substack.com. I recently subscribed to the Trends Journal Substack edition, and I encourage you to do

it too. It's always a pleasure to bring back to True News Gerald Cilente. Hey, Gerald. GERALD CILENTE, TRU NEWS, Hello there, Rick. Thank you so much. Yeah. GERALD CILENTE, TRU NEWS, and thank you for all that you do. I so much appreciate it. Yes, sir. Yeah, so I noticed that you were on Substack and I signed up. I subscribed. Thank you. Yeah, that's good. I'm glad to see that. Yeah, you know, look, I said we're on the crazy train and that's what it seems like. But now

the crazy train's out of control. And I don't know about you, but I've pretty much just resigned myself to the fact that there's nothing I can do at this point to stop it. I fought the good fight for, you know, I started this program in 1999, and I've been at it, you knowlessly and back in 99 I was a lot younger and actually thought we could turn this around we'll save the country

we'll we'll prevent the country from going off the cliff but we've gone off the cliff and what the people don't realize is that the country has gone off the cliff. The only thing that hasn't happened is the impact below. We're still in free fall. And I personally, I've just resigned myself. Nothing is going to stop the direction of this country right now. It is absolutely out of control. It's like insane people

have taken control of our country, Gerald. Things are happening that there's no logical explanation for it. There's no sense for it. And you can see, anybody with any intelligence, any understanding of history, you know where it's headed.

Where are you at in June of 2022? I'm in the same place you are. You mentioned it's a crazy train and you said insane people are in control. So if you're walking down the street and you saw somebody go, you know that they're crazy. But these are pathological liars. They're sociopaths. And they know how to put on the act.

And people think they're normal people. These are mentally deranged people that are running and ruining our lives in a country near you. Yes. Dwight D. Eisenhower, five-star general, Supreme Commander of the Allied forces, two-term

president. Of course, his farewell address, again, a real general, not like these generals now that hide in their bunkers and send the troops out. This is like a real general general. Warns the American people in his farewell address that the military-industrial complex is robbing the nation of the genius of the scientists, sweat of the laborers, and the future of the children, warning us. Anybody could look it up.

Farewell address, January 1961. He also said any man seeking the office of president is either an egomaniac or crazy. And that's who we have in charge. These are mentally ill people. The people in Congress, they never work a day in their lives. They're power hungry freaks. They're sociopaths, pathological liars. And they are destroying our lives in front of us.

It's right there. It's the train wreck that you said. Yeah. Gerald, Adolf Hitler was extremely intelligent and brilliant, but he was mentally deranged. That's right. So people need to understand that intelligent, brilliant people can come to power and be psychopaths and lead an entire country to destruction.

Exactly. That's what's going on. And you mentioned Adolf Hitler. That's not ancient history. Yes. I'm born one year after the war you've been to Berlin how about Dresden, beautiful

after all bombed out oh yeah, Berlin was grander than Paris before it was bombed out and I'm thinking to myself how come the people didn't stop it where were the people so you're saying you give up you don't want to fight it

the fight's lost. The only thing that I can say as a trend forecaster, there's a great quote. It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men, says Samuel Adams. When the American Revolution happened, what did they say? Less than 5% of the people were for it. And even when it was going on, there were the Tories that supported the Tories that didn't want it to happen. Even when it happened, I think it was only 50% of the people wanted it. So what I'm saying is, on the other side of it,

there are a lot of people fed up with this system they've had it they've had it people call them the Republicans and the Democrats I call them a crime syndicate by their deeds you shall know them how much more money do they have to steal

from us to give to the bigs and the too big to fails and how many more wars do they have to start in killing people all around the world? By their deeds you shall know them. The people are ready for a new direction. And I really believe that if we had somebody that stood up for freedom, peace, and justice and had the background and the credentials to do it, boom, we would get rid of this crime syndicate that's been running and destroying our lives.

I think the crime syndicate would get rid of that person. Again, that's always the possibility. But there's the, again, you know, to me, you know, I'm a fighter. Annapolis Donald, born in the Bronx. And I used to teach close combat for a lot of years. So I'm a fighter. And as heartbroken as I am, and you have no idea, I am so heartbroken, I'm still going for the fight. Matter of fact, on July 23rd, I'm going to have another festival on the Four Corners of Freedom up here in Kingston, New York. I own three buildings on the most historic Four Corners, pre-Revolutionary Warstone buildings.

And at the Garden of the Franz Roggenhaus, 1750, we could fit hundreds of people in there. I could fit thousands, actually, around the whole area. I have Judge Napolitano is going to be one of the speakers. And I'm fighting for this. I'm going to go down in a fight. I'm going to go. And I agree with you, by the way. There's that whole other side of me said, this thing is so out of control.

How do you change it? And, oh, by the way. There's that whole other side of me said, this thing is so out of control. How do you change it? And oh, by the way, another way to change it. A wonderful woman in my life, Parisian. Matter of fact, her brother Francois was the left shoulder of Jacques Chirac and Mitterrand, the two presidents. And my close combat guys used to go out and work out at Palais de l'Isère. She said to me, she was a great artist, she said, art is the way of finding the true meaning of the human spirit. We could change this in another way with art. And there was a thing called the Renaissance.

It followed the Black Plague. The people realized what they were doing was really stupid. It was killing everybody. A Renaissance going back to the past. Ale Romana Al Antica, in the manner of the Romans and the ancients, said the people that were creating that beauty. Not a digital crap world that we live in now. Not a synthesized world that we live in now.

We have to bring the passion back. And passion's been stolen from us. Look, you're a man of God. The meek shall inherit the earth. They misspelt it. The geeks have inherited the earth. They've inherited the world. They haven't taken the planet.

The planet belongs to God. They get the world, the world system, Gerald. Let me clarify myself. I haven't given up. I've simply resigned myself that there's going to be a calamity. Oh, absolutely. Okay. That's where I'm at, Gerald. I've resigned myself there's going to be a calamity. And if the good Lord allows me to survive the calamity and I'm here in the ashes, then I want to have a role in rebuilding. But I've resigned myself. We can't stop the calamity. That's what I mean. It's out of control. Well, here's the problem. The calamity that you're talking about is the calamity, if you go back to the Trends Journal covers a few weeks ago or a few months ago, actually two days before Russia invaded Ukraine, we had COVID war, Ukraine war, world war, with like an atomic bomb exploding behind

us. Yes. And I agree. We are on the verge of World War III. And when they asked Albert Einstein, a guy that knew a thing or two about an atomic bomb, what kind of weapons will be used to fight the Third World War, he said, I don't know, but they'll be using sticks and stones to fight the Fourth. That's right.

And that's my fear. Yeah. Jared, I believe World War III has already started. I do, too. And, you know, my response when people say, yeah, but Rick, nobody's nuked anybody. We're not in World War III. And I'm like, no, that's the ending of the war. That's how World War III ends.

It has started. We're in the beginning of the war right now's how World War III ends. We're in the, it has started. We're in the beginning of the war right now. It ends with the nukes. So let's talk about Russia, Ukraine, United States, NATO. So this is a story, you know, I have followed it, you know, since I started, you know, 23 years, and I have watched Vladimir Putin politely tell NATO and the United States Russia cannot allow NATO weapons on our border. Then at the end of last year, it really started to become serious warnings. And the Russians were reaching out to NATO and the United States saying, let's negotiate a national security agreement for Russia and Ukraine.

And the United States and NATO dissed them, would not meet with them, wouldn't listen to their concerns. Came a day, I want to say in early January, that I detected on a particular day, the Russians have given up any hope of peacefully settling this. You could tell in their words, the statements that they were issuing, that they had decided the only way to settle this now is war. It's what NATO wanted. They wanted them to attack. That's my view. I believe that the real thing is they want to de-platform Russia. They want to remove Russia as a nation, destroy its sovereignty, humiliate the people. Gerald, back in January and February,, well, let's say February, March, April,

the Russian threats of nuclear war were rare. And when they said it, I was like shocked. I go, oh my gosh, they just said, we're prepared to use nukes. Sure, we're at the point now that it's almost daily coming out of Russia. And one of the Russian ambassadors said a few weeks ago, this is strange, the American people are not even taking our warning seriously. I mean, they're telling

us, you keep doing this to us, we're going to hit you with our most powerful weapons. And most of the American people don't even know about it. And the few who do know about it, they just say, oh, Putin's bluffing. He's paranoid. He's bluffing. He's not going to do anything. This is what I see coming. I think here was a day coming we're going to wake up, if we wake up,

and we're going to discover D.C.'s gone. New York City's gone. Norfolk, Virginia's gone. Jacksonville, Florida's gone. And we're going to say, why didn't we stop this? That's where I'm at right now. Rick, you're repeating the history of the world. What was your favorite war, the Peloponnesian War? I liked the Hundred Year War.

I mean, oh, no, no, let's be proper. How about a War of Roses, you know? Oh, yes. A War of Roses. No. I mean, it's been going on forever. Yes. And we have to stop it.

And again, you said that the American people are not taking it seriously. Hey, how about Johnny Depp, huh? Hey, what about Amber Heard? I never heard of her before, but what about her? This is the American people's mind. This culture is gone. It's gone. Forget about the American people.

They're dumbed down to death, you know, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Again, it's that irate, tireless minority. And we have imagined, like you said, D.C., New York City. Could you imagine what's going on? You're living in Ukraine and now you've got to leave everything you own to get out of there? And why aren't they negotiating for peace? We said this in the beginning, from the beginning. And exactly, by the way, Trends Journal from 2014.

See that face? The United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of the president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych. In detail. In detail. The article, by the way, is written by Paul Craig Roberts, the former assistant treasury secretary under Reagan. John McCain. How the United States overthrew the government. Yeah, John McCain and Victoria Nuland were right at the heart of it. Passing out cookies.

Yes. Yep, in Midland Square. Again, we detail it on the phone, saying F you to the EU, we're going to put Yats in, on and on and on. All the details. As you said, again, we detail it in the Trends Journal each week. It was like 165 pages, no ads, about the agreement made between Gorbachev and Reagan and Gorbachev and Bush Sr. NATO would not, quote, move one inch further. There were 16, now 30 of them. Thanks to that murderous lowlife, Bill Clinton, Bush, and Obama just kept going. Right? Number you

mentioned in January of this year, the United States was doing fighter bomber maneuvers 14 miles off the coast of Russia. NATO was in the Black Sea off St. Petersburg doing naval maneuvers. They were instigating this. Who is our head of the Department of Defense, the secretary? Oh, Lloyd Austin? Oh, you mean a former general? No, no, you mean the former general that was on the board of directors of Raytheon, the second largest military contractor in the United States? Oh, that guy? Oh, going back to what Eisenhower said? These are the people that are running and destroying our lives. Imagine if Russia was up in Canada and China was down in Mexico with missiles aimed at the United States.

Oh, we'd be happy about that. This is, again, the war has started. We said this as well in the magazine. It's begun. Like they teach us like little kids. World War I began when the Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo. What the hell is a Sarajevo? Who cares about the Archduke?

The thing was building up to it. Oh, no, World War II began with a Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. Oh, okay, I got it. Yeah, right. They taught me that in school. How could I not think anything else? Do you think the United States will get through 2022 without being hit with nuclear weapons? I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Because, again, going back to the people in charge and why they're not listening, who's this guy, Antony Blinken? That's our Secretary of Defense. State. A little daddy's boy, an arrogant little daddy's boy. I went to Dalton.

I went to Harvard. My daddy was this, that, that. Yeah, All right. There's George Carlin. The great George Carlin said, it's one big club and you ain't in it. And that same murderous club is running the show. This is the guy that Obama, the Nobel, as I say, piece of crap prize winner, sent to Saudi Arabia when Saudis announced from Washington, D.C., that they were going to invade Yemen. The worst humanitarian crisis on earth, not even talked about, when he was an undersecretary, bringing intelligence to the Saudis

so that the United States could refuel the jets so they could kill, I think it was about 150,000 Yemenites already. And it's the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, according to the UN. That Anthony Blinken that loved every war that America has been in, that he supported, is now our Treasury Secretary. I just said who the Secretary of Defense is. Oh, and I forgot about Biden. Tough boy Biden who did everything

to avoid the Vietnam War, got three draft defundments, and then a one-why got out of it. What war didn't he love? Did you ever listen to the clips about him sending more troops and killing more people? We had maniacs in charge. Maniacs in charge. Maniacs in charge. So I don't know. Anything can happen. You're going to ask

a mentally ill person when are you going to kill somebody? Right. This is where we're at. This is what I'm saying. Gerald, I've come to that place where I realize we really do seriously have insane people in high places and the Russians are looking at us saying the same thing. They are saying the same thing. And what would we say as the United States if a maniac was in control of a nation with nuclear weapons?

And our intelligence department, the psychiatrist analyzed that world leader and said he is absolutely crazy. Yeah. Okay. And he's got nuclear weapons. What would we be thinking? At any moment, they're going to do, what do crazy people do?

That's right. That's what I'm saying. Crazy stuff. They do crazy stuff. Yep. And this is where, Gerald, I mean, I'm living now,

it's getting to the point, it's beyond living just day to day. It's now hour by hour. hour. And I know some people think I'm being overdramatic about this, but I'm telling you, you all don't know how the mercy of God is keeping us alive right now. That's it. That's it. This is the most dangerous time I've ever seen in my lifetime. And I remember the 62 Cuban Missile Crisis. I was a kid, but I remember my relatives that lived on farms and they were digging

underground bunkers that week and putting food under. I mean, the world thought it was the end. And here we are now. And nobody, people are laughing at this stuff. They're not taking it seriously. No, I know. Again, look what the people have declined into. Look at this country.

You know, they talk about gun control. The fish rots from the head down. How about a guy, how about if I said to you, you know, I don't like that guy across the street. I want him out of here. You say, what do you mean? What do you mean? Oh, no, I'm President Obama.

Gaddafi has to go, quote. Muammar Gaddafi, the head of Libya, richest country in Africa, people had more rights and benefits than most people around the world. No, no, Assad has to go. Oh, you mean Assad, the head of Syria, where the United States is responsible for killing over 650,000 people? Oh, and having destroyed Libya, totally in shambles? where the United States is responsible for killing over 650,000 people? Oh, and having destroyed Libya totally in shambles?

What's the difference between Obama saying that Assad has to go? Those are quotes. Gaddafi has to go. And what did Hillary Clinton, when asked how she felt when they murdered him, we came, we saw, he died. I'm not making that up. Anybody can look it up. I know. She's a real psychopath.

Exactly. And that's what I'm saying. If the people don't unite, we're finished. And I, again, Rick, it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. And I'm doing everything I can to keep this peace movement really going. And I know the only way it could work

as I see it. Once upon a time, there was a thing called the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall came down, and we're both old enough to remember, people went there, and they didn't leave. More people came. They didn't leave. Day after day, night after night, week after week,

until millions of people were there. And all of a sudden, these guys put down their guns. We can't stop. You don't do it for one day and go home. I love my country. I have no children. I'm fighting for freedom. No, I'm fighting against evil.

That's it. I'm fighting against evil. Everything I leave behind, I'm leaving against evil. That's it. I'm fighting against evil. Everything I leave behind, I'm leaving to others. I don't have a family. I'm worried about my kids or any of that. I'm a me because, again, I was a free man. Again, I'm born in 1946, right after the war. Boom, it's exploding.

And I'm born in the Bronx, the best place to be where you're free. I get in a fight with my father. May he rest in peace. He said to me, you little bastard, you think I'm telling you to do what I'm telling you because I want you to be like me? I want you to become yourself. Stop saying what everybody else is saying and saying it in Italian. Papagallo, parrot. Stop repeating what everybody else

is saying. Think for yourself. Those days are gone. I wouldn't be me if I didn't come from where I came from and my ancestors, my parents. I'm not going to let them steal this from me. And I'm going to keep fighting to my death.

Gerald, do we start a new society inside a dead society? Yes. Because what we're trying to do, what we've been trying to do is resurrect a dead society? Yes. Because what we're trying to do, what we've been trying to do is resurrect a dead society. Yep. So it seems to me like we're at the place now we have to start a new society. Yep. Absolutely. And I went back to the Renaissance. Yeah. I went, look at the beauty of the Renaissance. Look at the crap. Hey, I got a great piece of digital

art. I'll sell it to you for $60 million. Let's listen. Think about America. America was the land that everybody in the world wanted to come to at one time. They don't want to come here anymore. They went from ragtime to swing to R&Bb rock and roll motown and then it became digitized and now it's one bad rap look what the people used to look like i have a picture of my parents wedding 1934 dressed elegantly they wereers. They worked in fish stores.

First generation. They looked better than the Buffetts, the Bezos, the Gates. Anybody could ever look. And they weren't alone. It was the, look at the way the people dress. Black, white, high style. We have to bring that back.

To me, that's the only way we win. And you said it. We have to bring the spirit back. We have to bring that back. To me, that's the only way we win. And you said it. We have to bring the spirit back. We have to create a new. A new that's the old. The true American spirit. The land of the free. Not run by little dictators.

Close down your business. You're non-essential. Put on your mask. Stand six feet apart. I mean, look at the crazy people that told us what to do. Look how they have destroyed this economy in a way unparalleled. We are going to go into the greatest depression. Stop this baloney about stagflation.

It's not going to be stagnant. It's going to be dragflation. The economy is going to drag down. Inflation is going to skyrocket. Look, coming from the World Bank, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, IMF, one after another, all downgrading seriously global growth, poverty, and all the problems. Even Jamie Dimon issuing a hurricane warning. And the prime minister of South Korea a typhoon. Mm-hmm.

What about the food shortages? Are they real or are they manufactured? Or are the supply chain shortages? I think partially both. I mean, look, the baby, the baby food shortage. It was the U.S. government. It was the Biden administration that shut down the Abbott plant and wouldn't let them open. Yep.

And again, look at the bigs that control the whole thing. When you and I were kids, remember all the different products we could get? Not anymore. Not anymore. the whole thing. When you and I were kids, remember all the different products we could get? Not anymore. Not anymore. When we were kids, there were things called grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug chains, and now it's drug stores, now they're all chains. Drug chains, grocery chains, stationary chains, hardware chains.

The number of products available have gone to nothing. The bigs are in control of everything. They did away with the Robinson-Patman Act, Sherman Antitrust Act, Clayton Antitrust Act, Glass-Steagall Act. One act after another, they let the bigs control everything. We become plantation workers of slavelandia. Median household income has declined at the highest rate since they've ever been doing this, while the rich have gotten richer. The billionaires have gotten more money.

I'm in total agreement with you. I'm just, again, my own view is without a spiritual revival in the country. I agree. All right. I tell, you know, I get people who say, well, we got to go back to the spirit of 1776. I agree with that. But how were the people living in 1776? What was their morality? What were their values? All right. What were the things they permitted and didn't permit in their home? If you want to go back to that time, and I in total agreement, then you've got to return to the values that the country had at that time.

People are trying to they're trying to restore the Constitution without restoring the moral foundation that allowed that Constitution to be drafted. And there's where we're missing it, Gerald. We're missing the spiritual component of this mess that we're in. And, you know, people are diving down to the bottom of the septic tank to see if the fecal material is any worse at the bottom than it is at the top. And it's like, at what point do you stop looking at all this stuff and say, you have to rebuild a new society? Yep.

This thing has turned, it's rotted. And you can't paint over something that's rotted or so totally decayed. You have to build new. And that's really where I'm at right now. I want to build a new society. You said you don't have any children. I do, and I have 10 grandchildren. And eight of them are adopted. And I, Jared, I look at them when they come to visit,

and I, you know, the youngest two are five years old, and I'm like, what chance do they have? They don't have what you and I had at five. It's rigged against them right now. And it's like they're going into this life. They don't even know how wicked and evil it is and what they're up against. They're just innocent little children. You know, there was a day when you could be a five-year-old in America and life was good.

And it was, you know, you didn't know about evil things and you were confronted with evil things. And and but but now there's this shot in schools. And what are your thoughts about Uvalde? We had 100 police officers standing inside and outside of the school for 78 minutes while a madman shot. Tell me, Gerald, how does a grown man with or without a badging gun, how does he stand there with 99 other grown men and not risk his life to save children? How does that happen?

It's a symbol of the country. That's all it is. It's a symbol of what's happened to this country. Men aren't men anymore. Could you stand in a school parking lot or a hallway and hear gunshots for 78 minutes and not go in to save a child? Again, it's the whole culture. Again, I'm not saying all men are like that but that's the that's the mentality and you you've mentioned a number of times about it being rotted besides being rotted

again the fish rots from the head down right and the heads that we've had have all been rotten who's your favorite rotten head? I mean, people say to me, you know, oh, I couldn't stand you. You mean you would vote for Trump or you would vote for Biden? I vote for a lesser of two evils. Lesser of two evils? There's no such thing. It's like saying almost pregnant. It's evil.

There's no such thing as a lesser of two evils. That's the mentality. How about, oh, I won't eat garbage food, so I hate McDonald's, but I'll go to Burger King. I mean, that's what we have. Take your pick. What you just said about what's going on is the spirit of the country that has been robbed from us. And you're talking about a five-year-old kid wearing masks? I see little kids wearing masks. Where I am,

I loved it up here in Kingston. I loved it. It's dead. Knights are dead. They destroyed businesses all over. One after another, it closed down. After being months and months, it closed down. People are still walking around with masks on. People are still freaked out. They suck the joy out of life. And to me, going back to art and the spirit. And I think you could do it with it. I really believe it.

Gerald, I mentioned this on our program last night or a couple of days ago. When I was, I guess in my mid-20s, I attended a church event in Maryland and the speaker was, I didn't know who he was, but I did later. His name was Pastor Wurmbrand and he was a Lutheran pastor from Eastern Europe, and he had been in prison many times by the Communist Party. And he later formed an organization called Voice of the Martyrs. Well, I remember him saying, he asked the audience permission to give his speech seated in a chair. And he said, the chains on my ankles damaged my ankles and it's difficult for me to stand. At that moment, at age 25, I thought I'm in the presence of a great man. I had enough sense to know I'm in the presence of a great man. I'm going to listen to this man.

So I followed him for many years and he passed away. But he wrote a book, a very simple book called Marx and Satan. And he said, don't be fooled by the communist claim of atheism. They're not atheists. They're Satanists. And I know this for a fact because I have dealt with them and they put me in prison. But listen to this. He said, the communists, their motivation is not a redistribution of wealth. It is the destruction of everything good in society. Is that not what we have just suffered in this country

over the past 30, 40 years? The destruction of everything good? They even destroyed the Boy Scouts. There's nothing that they haven't touched. No. It's like a wrecking ball. And they've demolished everything that was built in this country over 250 years. Everything's been destroyed.

Everything's been marred, defiled, marked. And what Pastor Wurmbrand said was, this is the true motivation of the Communist Party. It is the hatred of things that are good. There you go. So if that's the case and we you can't win a war until you discern who you're fighting and what what the battle is all about. So if that's the case, Gerald, then really what we have to do is rebuild what is good. There's no other way to fight them. You have to rebuild what is good.

Last question for you. What would this society look like to you if you could, if you had many years ahead and you were able to reconstruct society, what would it look like to you? It would look like a society in the way that I grew up, where my mom, may she rest in peace, was at home when I came home from school. And, Mom, and mom going out all right make sure you're back at six o'clock when we have dinner and you're gone they didn't watch it they were like poof

and every Sunday we'd all have these great Sunday dinners and every holiday all of the aunts and uncles we'd all be together and the family it was a family unit a big family unit and that to me was the America and I would have been dead at least 10 times if my mother wasn't at home. And I'm not kidding. I mean, I was wild. And to me, it's the American spirit where you believed in what you were watching as a kid, that Mr. Smith went to Washington and he didn't stay there, he came back.

And that things were being done for the good of the people. When we were young, all the time we used to hear the polls, the future was always going to be better than the past. Yes. Because they just got over World War II. And now it's the opposite. We want to go back to the past. Yes.

So I want to take that spirit back, that American spirit that the whole world envied again i mean i love music you know i mean i listen to duke ellington count basey you know all of this old and and even though you know i love the rhythm and blues in the late 40s, early 50s. The soul, the soul, after the war, the vibe was so high. And now it's, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. You listen to the lyrics of this stuff?

So that to me is what I would bring back. There's a really interesting thing you said. We don't want to go into the future now, do we? Seriously, we don't want. I just, yeah, when you said that, something really clicked inside of me that what a profound statement. We're all, when we grew up up when you and I grew up the future was bright we couldn't wait to get to the future yep it was going to be better than today and today

was good yep but the future is going to be better now we're fearful because we don't like today and we're afraid that tomorrow is going to be even worse than what they have given us today. And so our hearts are yearning to return to the past where things where we knew were good. Yep. It's interesting. I guess God said to the Israelites, return to the old past.

This is what America needs to do. We need to go back and find out where did we take the wrong road? You know, things were going well for the country. At what point did we take the wrong road? The wrong road was war. Yeah. Look, you were talking about the pastor, and it hit me. I wrote pastor down.

Name me the religions right now, the top people in religions that are calling for peace in the United States. Name me them. They don't exist, Gerald. I'm a lone voice out there. I know, me too. And none of them, none of them. Oh, and I was raised Catholic,

but nothing to do with Catholicism, what the system is. And it was a horror story for me. I won't go into it. But these people like Biden and Pelosi, they call themselves Roman Catholic. Oh, yeah, Jesus would have loved you to send all those deadly weapons to keep bloodying the killing fields of Ukraine. Oh, that's right up the jesus's alley he would have loved it oh yeah and he called you don't call don't call yourself a catholic you're you're satanic you're sending weapons of death what would be the difference

and you we are we we both agree by the way and i've been writing about it for months world war iii has begun the united states is at war with russia if i said to you rick i hate this guy give me some money and weapons i want to go kill him and you gave me the money and weapons to kill him you're an accessory to the crime that's's right. America and NATO are sending all these deadly weapons to fight Russia. They're not proxy war. You're at war. Yes. And the Russians have said so. The Russians have clearly said a few days ago, Gerald,

they said we're going to strike the decision-making centers of where these weapons came from. Well, that's the Pentagon. Yep. That's the Congress. That's the White House. That's NATO headquarters in Brussels. That's number 10 Downing Street. They don't have to give you a list.

They just say the decision-making centers for the origin of these weapons. So they've made it very clear what they're going to do. the decision-making centers for the origin of these weapons. So they've made it very clear what they're going to do. They're going to strike, and they're going to hit hard. But you're right, there's nobody calling for peace. And everybody has, I don't want to say everybody, it's just that the leaders of the country have just accepted war, that this is the way we live we become a violent bloody country

that likes war yep and not we that we the maniacs in charge by the way yes right when i when i say that no one speaks about and i mention this often about peace i always mention that you do as there's very few people out there speaking about peace, I always mention that you do. There's very few people out there speaking about peace, and I always mention that you are a champion of peace. Thank you. I appreciate that. Besides the military, the two things to me that have to change is what changed us. One is the military-industrial complex,

and the other is the chemical industry. The first book i worked on back in 1986 natural healing when nobody was very few people were talking about this back then this whole covid thing you never heard one one peep about building up your immune system, getting as strong as you can mentally, physically, and emotionally. Not one thing. Of course, I got no vaccinations. I haven't gotten COVID.

How about, oh, oh, oh, all the people that got Obama, Clinton, all the people that got Newsom, oh, they all get these, that jerk, that Buddha gig clown, that transportation secretary, that jerk. All these people got vaccinated and now they got the virus. And then they have the nerve and the arrogance to say, boy, I'm glad I got vaccinated and boosted. And you should, too. Isn't that insanity?

And goes back to maniacs in charge. Yes. Insanity. And the political correctness of shutting down anybody who doesn't go along with their narrative, what they're trying to do, Gerald, is to force your mouth to say something your mind and heart knows is not true. Yep. That's what's going on in the country right now. They're deplatforming people.

They're destroying careers. They're ostracizing people. And it's you say something that you know is wrong. That's our demand. Because these people are insane. Yep, that's it. They're totally insane. And they want you to participate in their insanity.

And when you won't say it, they're going to shut you down. Yep. It's so crazy. Oh, we have to hold on to our sanity. One other thing I would also do, I would dissolve the government school system. It's not a public education system, it's a government system.

The average thing, depending on what numbers you're looking at, it's like about $13,500 a year for each student. So what I would do, when it comes out to about $180,000, $160,000 for 12 years, do away with that whole thing. Why spend all that money and then you're looking what happens to them. They get a job at Walmart. No, maybe Costco. No, I think I'll work at Hannaford's.

I'd rather go to Home Depot. Not me. I'd rather go to Lowe's. I think I'll drive an Amazon truck, a FedEx truck, a UPS truck. Look at the future. Look where the people are working. You spent all this money to take them to school and this is what they're doing? You didn't have to spend all this money for them to do that.

To me, the more children you have, the more you should pay for education and the education system should be for the poor. And by the way, the guy that gave us this public education system, the same murderous psychopath that gave us World War I, Woodrow Wilson, the same murderous psychopath that gave us the Federal Reserve, Woodrow Wilson, the same murderous psychopath that gave us federal taxes that didn't exist. Woodrow Wilson. Insanity.

So that's the other thing I do. Get away. You want to have children? There's enough information out there, particularly in the digital world, where you can get everything you need to teach your children, and you teach them. you're responsible for them i'm not i agree i agree most most education you know was actually was church-based the the protestant catholic churches produced the schools ran schools, and educated the people. So public education has become indoctrination. And that's what we have now. Gerald, the magazine, tell our audience about

the Trends Journal. That's a weekly magazine, $2 a week. And we're putting information in there. We're telling the people what in the world is going on, what it means, what's next. And then we tell them our trend forecast, where it's going and what you might want to do to prepare, prevail and prosper. And as you know, the motto again from my father, may he rest in peace, think for yourself. This is what's going on. We put the story exactly the way it's being reported, and then we give our analysis. And there's no magazine like it.

There's no Trends magazine in the world. So we're giving them everything we can. And all they could do is go to TrendsJournal.com. It's $2 a week, and if you don't like it, it's a 30-day money-back guarantee. You lose nothing, and you're supporting us by the way to do more Rick I've never worked harder in my life

I'm giving it everything I can and again on January on July 23rd up here in Kingston we're going to have a freedom and peace festival and Judge Napolitano will be one of the speakers a great band I'm bringing together.

And I may have a real big name singer to come here, but I can't say it yet. And we're going to have food and music and entertainment. And I want this to be the beginning of what you just said, bringing back that spirit. Yes, I hope so. I hope so. So anybody, if you can be to Kingston, New York, July 23rd? Yep. Is that the date? July 23rd.

That's the date. All right. Visit Gerald Salenti's Peace and Freedom Festival. Gerald, thank you. Appreciate you being here today. It's always fun, always a pleasure to have you on the program.
