Well, we're at the halfway mark, halfway
through the year. And what is going to
happen in the United States? From the
economy to the war against Russia, uh,
to the war in Gaza. Where are the United
States and the American policy makers
going to come down on a whole host of
issues? And where are we headed? Let's
ask the one person who knows, who looks
at the trends more deeply than anybody
does. That's Gerald Centi, of course,
the founder, the chief bottle washer
over at the Trends Journal. And we
Gerald, welcome back to the show. you
know, we checked in with you at the
beginning of the year to look at the big
forecasts that you had at the Trends
Journal uh for the for the whole year
and now we're halfway through this year
and I thought it'd be a good time to
check back in with you. So, welcome back
into the show. Well, thanks for having
me and you know
Yeah. You know, one of our top trends,
I've been at this for 45 years. Never
did we have a top trend called a wild
card. And we have the trump card and the
wild card. anything goes now. It's it's
you you
you can't
what's gonna happen in a lot of ways. It
is crazy. I mean, every day it seems
like, you know, within 48 hours things
change on a dime. Even President Trump
the other day took a took a question
from a reporter and he called it a nasty
question when the reporter asked him,
"So, do you do you cave do you cave on
tariffs um when you get push back? is
that you know and he thought it was a
nasty question like do you sort of
change with the wind on things? Um and
he he got really upset about that
question. He doesn't like to be
challenged like that. So yeah, the un
unpredictability is back and it seems
like it's back in the markets. It's back
in uh in the US dollar. It's back in the
housing sector. It's back in a whole
host of topics. So where do you want to
start, Gerald? I mean we're here halfway
through the year. What do you see
unfolding for the rest of the year?
here. I mean, I think I want to kind of
maybe we'll start with people's
pocketbooks, you know, people's wallets
and what the economy looks like. That's
what most families care about in the
United States, being able to put food on
the table. Um, and you're in in your
latest journal talking about the US
dollar continuing to decline. So, what
do you see in the US economy for the
next six months?
You know, again, it's it's a somewhat of
a guessing game, but here's what we're
we're
forecasting again because you don't know
what Trump is going to do. And and one
of the important things is where are
interest rates going to go. And
everybody has to remember the facts.
Let's go back to
2018, worst December for the Dow since
the Great Depression, 1931. Trump forced
Powell to lower interest rates, which
Powell did in December of
2019. Pushed the Dow up what, 22% that
year. So, let's go back to now what's
going on. You know, the big news is, oh,
Nvidia's uh, you know, sales went up and
they're doing great. We see a dot buzz
coming. And here's
why. Tracking trends is the
understanding of where we are, how we
got here, and where we go, where we're
going. And trends are born, they grow,
they mature, reach old age and die.
Let's go to the AI trend. It was only
born three years ago,
2022. You don't invest all your money in
the first companies that are big in the
new investment of a new trend. And
that's what they did. All these IPOs,
IPO wannabes, one after another, dumping
money into the AI. And then let's just
go back to January, which nobody talks
about anymore, and Deepseek comes out.
Nobody ever heard of a Deepseek before,
but it's a Chinese company that comes
out. Nvidia stock goes down 17%. They
lose 600 billion dollars in one day. And
Deepseek says, "Hey, we don't need these
big chips that you're making. We could
do it with smaller chips." Oh, and it
didn't cost us a hundred million bucks
to do this. It cost us uh six million.
And now Deep Seek is the most used AI in
the world. Now let's go back. Trends are
born. They grow. They mature. Reach old
age and die. Again, the trend has just
been born. You don't invest all your
money in there. And in trend
forecasting, you make connections
between different fields. So let's see
why China is going to be, like it or
not, the world leader in AI. Before
Slick Willie, Bill Clinton put China
into the World Trade Organization in
2000. They officially came in two weeks
after 9/11. Go back to 2000. 10% of
Chinese 18year-olds went to college.
Today nearly
70% young people are totally totally AI
high techch addicted and they're going
to college to to expand this thinking.
They're going to lead the world in this
development. As the United States is
going down, less kids are going to
college. They have 1.4 billion people.
We have 347 million. So you use the
numbers and you look at the facts. So we
see a.com bust coming. Number
two, nobody's talking about it. Let's go
back before the COVID war. Google it up.
What's your office uh vacancy rate in
the United
States? About
11%. What is it now?
20.4%. Double 20. Holy smokes. Now,
you've been I I want to give you credit,
enormous credit on this. for the past
year and a half on our show when we've
had you on. You've been focusing on this
story when everyone else has been
ignoring it. So, thank you for that,
which is the commercial real estate
problem and all of these people who are
not returning to the offices and now
these offices are just you can't afford
the leases, you can't afford the
mortgages, so they're just going belly
up. So, you've been on spot on. So, now
it's doubled.
It's doubled since the co war. And by
the way, the damage the damage that's
been caused by these politicians that
lock down the nations, it's
incalculable. Not only in the United
States because you can't go back to
China. Look at their look at
their again before Bill Clinton brought
him into the World Trade Organization,
China's GDP was like this. They come in
boop shoots up when all the manu not all
of it loaded the manufacturing from
United States and Europe went over there
to get cheap labor and gave China
everything they never had in high-tech
and heavy industry technology but anyway
they had a big big housing boom and with
every boom there's a
bust but they made a very bad bust much
worse when they launched the co war on
January in January 2020 20 on their
Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the
rat, you have between 60 to 90 million,
depending on whose numbers you look at,
vacant apartments in
China. Some 30% of China's GDP was real
estate
related. They locked down the place for
three years with zero COVID policy. They
destroyed the lives and livelihoods of
hundreds of millions. So they got their
big problems too. What I'm saying going
back, we're talking about the office
building bust. The damage that has been
caused by the CO war is
incalculable. Like where I am up here in
the Hudson Valley, I call it death
valley. 9:00
everything empty. Empty. Restaurants
that used to serve at 10:00 at night,
they're only serving at 9:00. You look,
you're a New York City guy. I'm a New
York City guy. I mean, you know what the
scene was? You're going out 1:00 in the
morning, the places are packed. Now,
every time I go down the city, I ask a
cab driver, "When's it slowing
down?" 12:30 at night. And it's supposed
to be the city that never sleeps. I
mean, when I used to come into Fox News
Channel, um, you know, at 2, 3:00 in the
morning, 4 in the morning, 5:00 in the
morning to take a car into the city or,
you know, just from my apartment on the
Upper West Side. I mean, there'd be
people out all night and it was a city
that never sleeps. Now it's sleeping.
Now it's sleeping. So going
back the leases that you have in
commercial real estate, they're like
five and 10 year leases. So the CO war
began 5 years ago. Now these leases are
all coming up and they're not being
renewed. There's going to Let's go back
to 2023. Three banks fail. Signature uh
uh Silicon Valley and First Republic.
Boom. Markets will go way down. Gold
prices go way up. That was three banks,
right? You're going to see a load of
banks go under. This is serious and no
one's talking about it. Again, the whole
life has changed. So, those are the two
things we're looking at that's going to
affect the equity. The three, the other
thing, again, when interest rates go
down, the dollar, talking about the
dollar, the dollar is going to go down
more. Much of the world has had enough
of the United States geopolitical and
economic hegemony and they're getting
away from the buck. The bricks are going
to be the future in a lot of ways.
Again, you follow the money and the
money's following away from the United
States. So, there's going to be the
death of the dollar, death of the US
dollar. And as I mentioned, you have JD
Vance at the Bitcoin conference. Um, and
Eric Trump, I mean, talking about owning
Bitcoin and that the future is in
crypto, it's in gold, it's in silver,
it's away from these government
currencies. As I've said for a long
period of time here on the show, every
government currency in world history has
collapsed. All of
them. What makes you think that the US
dollar won't also collapse? Like, this
is going to be the one currency that
survives. Every currency in world
history has collapsed. the US dollar. We
had Representative Thomas Massie on the
show last week. He's great. And I said,
you know, we're 30 $36 trillion in debt.
And he said, Clayton, he said, that's 36
trillion what we see right now. He said,
it's you add on another it's about
another 20 trillion on top of that.
That's really where we are. The US
dollar is collapsing in real time. We're
watching it happening. Um so do you see
I mean an accelerated pace for the US
dollar? uh the sell-offs these countries
dumping US treasuries in a much larger
you know larger capacity the US dollar
as a reserve currency of the world
collapsing this year or will it take a I
don't know if it'll happen this year I
think it's going to you know it's going
to keep decelerating the the dollar
value but again and that's very
important too because gold is
dollar-based so the deeper the dollar
falls the higher gold prices rise
because it's cheaper to buy gold from in
other countries to buy it And going back
to Vance, let's go back to Trump. You
remember when Trump came out against
Bitcoin said it was destroying the
dollar? Oh, that was only a couple of
years ago. We won't talk about that. How
he was so anti- Bitcoin, but now his
family's into it. Again, we're writing
the articles in the Trends Journal week
after week. how they be. Again, we said
in the trends journal that Bitcoin and
other cryptos are going to go way up
because Trump got a hundred million
dollars plus from the crypto club when
he was running for president and during
his inauguration. We said these coins
are going to go way up and now his
family is into it. What the Lutnik guys
are into it?
Whit's kids are into it. uh the the
commerce secretary, the guy that's our
guy over there in uh Middle East uh uh
concerns, what whatever his title is,
Witco, the whole club is into this
thing. So again, and here's the other
thing that's going to happen. We're all
going to go, we've been writing about
this, what they're going to say, we're
getting rid of this dirty cash and we're
going to digital. So it's dirty cash to
digital trash.
every going to be central bank digital
currencies. It's the future of the
world. Going back to again to AI, go to
China. The people aren't using cash or
anything anymore. Put out your palm.
That's enough. It's everything's going
to go digital. And here's the deal. We
came up with a new digital
coin and the value of it is blah blah
blah blah blah and we're going to get
rid of our debt level because this coin
is worth so much. They're going to make
up any crap that they want. And by the
way, Massie, Thomas Massie is the
probably the only person in in the
government that I really respect.
Yeah. And I was a speaker at one of Ron
Paul's events and he was one of the
speakers there, too. He's a real deal.
And he said it's $20 trillion more the
debt level. Other people are bringing it
up to a hundred billion plus because
when you put in social security,
government debt, and other things, it's
much much higher that they have to pay
out. There's no way in the world they're
going to they're going to do away with
the dollar. They're going to come up
with a digital coin and replace it. It's
in front of everybody's eyes. They're
doing it.
Well, we've seen and I this is what I've
been seeing and I'm not a I'm not a
trends forecaster, but I certainly been
paying attention to what's been
happening with these stable coins. And
so the US dollar as a reserve currency
has been declining very very quickly as
the rise of the BRICS nations have been
increasing. They've been dumping the US
dollar uh US treasuries and they've been
moving away from that to settle
transactions.
However, with the rise of stable coins,
USDC, which is backed by the US dollar,
in many ways, this is sort of an endound
uh the US dollar as a reserve currency,
and it kind of forces these countries
and forces crypto blockchain holders and
and others to be using the US dollar,
but in stable coin fashion. So, they're
moving us to this digital future, but in
a different way, away from the US dollar
in the way that we think of it, but now
backing a lot of the sort of
cryptostable coins where they'll be able
to track everything. They'll be able to
use us, you know. So, that's what this
is. It's all about tracking. It's all
about control, isn't it? Oh, yeah. You
nailed it perfectly. And one other
thing, tracking, control. They know
every penny you spent, where you spent
it, what you spent it on. They know
everything about you. And most
importantly, they steal your money in
the name of taxes,
right? They know every penny you spend.
They know everything about you. These
are
politicians, low life pieces of crap
that suck off the public tit their whole
lives and can't get a job in the real
world. most of them and want to just
keep doing it. So that's the deal.
That's right.
Let's talk about wars. So we got the US
economy,.com bust coming. Um the decline
of the US dollar and a housing crisis
that's been unfolding and you've been
nailing that. Now it's double where it
was during the COVID era. That's only
going to get worse. Um now let's talk
about these wars. It seems like things
are getting much worse with Russia. We
thought maybe we were moving towards
peace there, but it seems to be
spiraling out of control. Um, and Russia
has basically laid out its terms for
peace, which is exactly the same
position that they had back in
2022. Like, you're not joining NATO.
You're not expanding further towards our
doorstep. We are not going to have uh,
you know, these weapons supplied inside
of inside of Ukraine to be targeting our
our our country.
um and you'll stop to carry out this
genocide against ethnic Russians in what
was eastern Ukraine. So basically the
same terms. It's exactly where we are,
but now it's spiraling out of control.
We have the rise of Germany uh sending
additional weapons wanting to militarize
itself. So I mean are we heading towards
World War
II? The cover of the Trends Journal
magazine. And by the way, you if you you
go to um what's that thing you have the

for people to go there, which brings it,
by the way, the grand total of
$2.50 a week. Here, this is the cover.
This is the front page of the New York
Times business section, weekend
edition, $6. Look at this stupid
picture. No. Once upon a
time there were there was print and
stories. Nothing. Journalism is totally
dead. Yeah. One nothing. Anyway, so
we're giving the people everything we
can to history before it happens and
going back to the Ukraine war and what
you're talking about the genocide that
was being committed by Ukraine, bombing
the people in the Donbas region, killing
over 15,000 of them. The people have no
clue about
this. People all when I was a kid, they
taught us to hate Russia. They had us
hiding under a desk in case a nuclear
bomb went off. As a little kid, I was
scared to death every time I saw an
airplane. Like hiding under a desk, by
the way, that was going to save your
life. Right here. Right. This is the
Trends Journal
magazine when it was a quarterly, by the
way. announced a weekly back in
2014. Look how happy that guy is. Right?
Here's the
story. Washington is driving the world
to the final war. World toy is not a
right America has earned. This is by Dr.
Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant
Treasury Secretary under Ronald Reagan,
wrote this article. I'm just going to
read a short part of it.
Washington concluded that Russia needed
to be confronted with or distracted by
problems that would leave Russian
government less confident or able to
counter
Washington's aggression elsewhere.
Ukraine presented the perfect
opportunity for Washington to advance
its hegemonic agenda in a speech at the
National Press Club last December, which
was
2013.
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria
Nuland boasted that Washington had
invested $5 billion in non-governmental
organizations in Ukraine to quote teach
democracy. The United States overthrew
the democratically elected government of
Victor Anakovich in Ukraine in
200 14. People have no idea about
this. None at all. So going
back, Germany is now escalating the
war. There are trillion dollars. They're
taking out a trillion dollars to build
up their
military. Germany's the third largest
economy in the world, largest in Europe.
It's been in recession for two years and
entering into recession. And you're
borrowing a trillion dollars. Oh yeah,
we're going to build the infrastructure
up too so the tanks could go over the
bridges. Wait a minute. You're doing Oh,
one country after another. That little
clown Carney boy up there. That jerk up
there. You got rid of True Dope up in
Canada. Now you got another jerk off up
there. Carney, he's
bragging. Carney's military spending,
you ready? will add up to $64 billion to
economic to the
economy one after another. And they're
all using the
line
that it's going to build up their gross
domestic product and their
economy. No, it won't.
products that are
made for military only enrich the
military-industrial complex. And by the
way, you
read Mertz over there, Fred Mertz, the
new chancellor, the former Black Rockck
guy, he keeps calling it money going
into the military-industrial complex. He
uses those words.
GDPs grow when the products that are
made are bought by
consumers. That's what drives it up.
This only goes into the pockets of the
military-industrial complex. Oh, that
President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
five-star general, supreme commander of
the Allied forces, and two-term
president said, "The military-industrial
complex is robbing the nation of the
genius of scientists, sweat of the
labors, and the future of the children.
And now you got these clown boys with
little peckers that couldn't fight their
way out of a paper bag sending the
[ __ ] out that spending this money
for the military is going to build our
economy. Yeah. Hile
mers. Oh, these are the Germans that
killed over 25 million Russians in
Operation Barbarosa in World War II.
Oh, these are the Germans that not me.
Uh, the guy by the name of John F.
Kennedy. F. Used to be a president
giving a speech. Anybody look it
up. American University
1963
June all about peace. He said, "No
nation suffered more during World War II
than the people in in the Soviet Union.
They lost their farms, their factories,
their homes, the equivalent of Chicago
to the east coast. He said over 20
million of them were killed and now the
numbers are over 25
million. Operation Barbar Roa launched
by Hitler and I got this little slime
ball. Mertz, if we don't stop those
Russians, they are going to take over
Europe.
Oh yeah, I grew up during the Vietnam
War. I heard that same crap, fat mouth,
if we don't stop those
Vietnamese, those commies. They're going
to take over all of Asia and those
dominoes will keep falling and it'll hit
the shores of California. Oh, by the
way, the same communist country,
Vietnam, that's our second largest
importer of clothing, shoes, and
furniture. In other words, they could
care less about it who's running what as
long as they can make money.
It's madness.
Um, yeah, it's absolute madness when you
look at what Carney's doing with the
expansion of the military in Canada.
This idea of moving to a war footing and
they're trying to scare us that Russia
is going to invade invade Europe. I I
people paying attention to Russia has no
intentions of that.
their massive amounts of land that that
that Putin can, you know, that Putin can
barely control as it is. Do you think
they want to add they want to add
Germany to their governing mix? It's
insane. It's absolute
madness. But, you know, that's how they
scare people and people believe it.
That's the sad part is that Gerald, you
know, people buy into this propaganda.
They believe it because they watch
things like CNN, you know, or they read
they read uh, you know, all of these
garbage publications across the world or
they watch like Sky News or any of these
things. So, they believe that Putin's
coming for them. Yep.
Again, people have no idea about again
the overthrow of the democratically
elected government. Again, this is the
magazine from 2014. I want to make this
really clear to show you how they how
they use the propaganda to get you. Here
you see this photo there of the this is
during the was the leadup to the Winter
Olympics in Russia in Sohi in 2014. This
is just before the overthrow. How the
mainstream
media taught the people to fear the
Russians. You ready?
security
expert. It's not if, but when for social
Olympics terror attack. They kept
telling the people not to go to the
social Olympics because there was going
to be a terror attack. I'm just going to
read a quick part of this. Veteran
security consultant Bill
Wthborn hopes that he's wrong about the
upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but
he has more than a hunch that he's not.
Quote, "The security threat is higher
than it's ever been in the history of
the Olympics." Wthbornne told Yahoo
News, "In my opinion, it's not a matter
of whether there will be some incident.
It's just a matter of how bad it's going
to be." They scared the hell out of the
people to hate the Russians that there
was going to be a terror attack at the
SoC Olympics. there was going to be uh
don't drink the yellow water,
homophobes, on and on and
on and then they overthrew the
government. So, what I'm saying is they
teach the people to hate the the country
and then they do what they want. And by
the way, I launched Occupy Peace over a
decade ago. I'm for peace and I read
George Washington's farewell address.
This is a real man that fought that
became president. not like these little
peckers that couldn't fight the way out
of a paper bag. And what does he say?
He said non-interventionism. And now
that's it became such a bad thing. This
idea that we should not be involved in
foreign wars. Non this idea that somehow
non-interventionism or isolationism is
now a bad word. And here George
Washington was in his farewell address
telling us that we should be
isolationists and non-interventionists
and you know be peaceful.
Yeah. And he said basically this crap's
been going on for centuries and we're
not going to fix it.
Yeah. Again, when you're looking at
what's going on in what what was Oh,
Crimea. Wasn't Crimea part of Russia for
a long time? Oh, wasn't Ukraine and
Russia Kremlin the Gorbach Cruchef did
this or what did that? Oh, oh, Al
Katherine the Great back in what this
stuff has been going on forever. Oh, and
how about how about these words that
they used to have the uh again World War
II? Google it up. Franklin Roosevelt
seizes all Japanese assets. Oh, by the
way, I talked about Kennedy in in June
of
1963 speaking to the students at
graduating American University. It was
all about peace. He said, 'We should not
go to war against the Soviet Union
because if we do, it'll be a atomic
nuclear war and life on Earth will be
destroyed in 24 hours. His words. That
was back
then. What happens June, July, August,
September, October, November? Jack,
you're dead. They killed him. He was for
peace.
So going back to what's going on with
the with people have all they have
taught us is to hate him just like they
taught us to hate
Iran when when the Iranian conflict
broke out in in 1978-79 when they
overthrew the sha. Oh people have no
idea how the United States the CIA and
the MI6 overthrew the democratically
elected government of Mosed in in in
Iran in
1953 because he had the nerve to say
that oil does not belong to Anglo
Iranian oil better known today as BP or
Standard Oil better known today as Exxon
Mobile. It belongs to the Iranian
people. No, it doesn't. And they
overthrew the government, but the
American people when this and that's how
I became a trend forecaster, by the way.
It was one of my books, Trend Tracking,
a lot far better than Mega Trends, Time
magazine. I write about how I started
investing in gold and oil futures when
that started to happen. And I became a
political atheist because people had no
idea of what was going on over there.
All they do is taught us to hate the
Iranians. And I said, "No, they're going
to overthrow the sha." People forgot
about the savak, the secret police under
the sha that made the SS look good. I
mean, the people hated the guy. He was a
dictator. So anyway, the same thing is
going on now. When all else fails, they
take you to war and the economies around
the world are
failing. Let's go back to what's going
on with the genocide war over there in
Israel. 39 weeks of judicial protests
were going on before Hamas attacked on
October uh 7th,
2023. 20 39 weeks, not my language, the
language of Isaac Herszog, the president
of Israel, because of Netanyahu wanted
to pass a judicial reform act that said
basically they're going to bring me up
on charges, but I'm going to pass this
judicial reform act. You're not going to
do anything to me. We're doing away with
your judiciary and the politicians will
be in charge is basically the judicial
reform act. 39 weeks of
protests and Isaac Herzog said quote
there's a civil war going on in
Israel. Hamas attacks all forgotten
about. All forgotten. And oh by the way
we only put facts in.
and the United States and Egypt. 3 days
later, it was reported in Hahadets and
other Israeli newspapers that the United
States and Egypt had warned Netanyahu
that this attack was going to happen.
Right.
And all the information's coming out
saying that they knew was going to
happen, which is going back to what I
was going to say about World War II.
Anybody could Google it up. The Great
Depression was going on. Franklin
Roosevelt seizes all Japanese assets in
the United States on July 26th,
1941. You know why? Those dirty Japanese
invaded French
Indo-China. French Indochina. What the
hell are the French doing in Vietnam?
Klim Cambodian La stealing their rubber,
their tin, rape, pillaging. Oh, the sun
never sets on the British
Empire. Oh, you're robbing and stealing
all over the world. What I'm saying is
going back to what Washington was
saying. This crap's been going on
forever. You got crazy people running
the world. And look what just happened
up in Canada. Just see that little clown
dressed up in his costume with all the
little medals on. The the the king of
England. What king? Royal family. If
you're an Italian, they call you a
mafia. You lousy bastards have killed
people all over the world. Royal family
dressed up in his little drag costume
with the little crown and it and oh and
they roll out the red carpets and
everybody salutes and the ro Oh, by the
way talking about going back to
Mertz meeting with Zalinski. Did you see
the picture of him and Zalinski over
there with all those red carpets and all
those little boys dressed up in their
drag costumes saluting? They're getting
us into war. And if people don't do
something to stop it, it's going to be
the end of life on Earth. Putting the
money into all this military equipment
is a waste of dough. It'll be nuclear
annihilation.
What? And and by the way, Russia's
warned it. They said if you attack us,
we're going nuclear. They said it. Well,
it's an existential threat to them,
right? I mean, the whole world is
sneaking up on their doorstep. NATO is
sneaking right up on their doorstep
through Finland, through Ukraine. Yep.
Through the massive mobilization in
Europe. What would we do in the United
States if suddenly Russia was on our
can, you know, had taken over Canada
sitting on our Canadian border, our
Mexican border, had submarines and
nuclear warships sitting in the Gulf of
Mexico, Gulf of
America, we would absolutely say we
would use nuclear weapons to defend
ourselves. Um, it's an existential
threat to their country. And they're
united. I mean, we've covered this on
the show. Russians are united. Yep.
Putin has massive internal support. They
know what they stand for. The the
Russian people know what their values
are and they know what they stand for
and they're not going to be bullied and
pushed around. They've had enough of
this sort of Western pushing around,
being lied to about NATO expansion,
being duped multiple times by Bill
Clinton telling them that they that NATO
wouldn't expand to their doorstep and
then doing exactly that. They have no
reason to trust us
anymore. Again, go back to the agreement
that happened with um with Gorbachev and
Bush Senior. NATO will not move one inch
further. That was the quote. There were
what 16 NATO countries back then. Now
there were 32. And you mentioned suppose
China or Russia was in the the Gulf of
America or or up in you here. Let's go
back to the Vietnam War, which I grew up
during. I'm the same age as Trump.
They uh what? They they they they
attacked an American ship in the Gulf of
Tonkan. What the hell are we doing?
Massive false false flag. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Matter of fact, I wrote about that
and this is a best-selling book, one of
my books, Trends 2000. How McNamera, the
defense secretary, lied about that and
made up the whole thing about the
Vietnam War. And again, what the hell
are we doing over there? Oh, it's okay.
We could be there. We could be anywhere
we want. Hey, yeah, but how about if
they're down here? Well, no, they're not
allowed to be down here. Don't you know
who we are? That is disgusting. And
again, Trump, I'm the same age as Trump.
Trump got four or five draft affirments.
He finally got out with a bone
spur. They're just like that little
clown boy uh bite. Same thing. These
little war mongering freaks, Bill
Clinton, one after another. They love
war, but they don't go fight. I say
anybody that supports a war overseas, go
over there, send your money, your wife,
your kids, your transgenders, go get
dressed up in a drag, go fight or shut
your mouth. Every one of these little
slime ball politicians, go over there
and fight what you believe in or shut
up.
Did you see this little clown boy, this
fine Randy fine over in Florida? Yeah.
That we should nuke Gaza. Yeah.
Brilliant. Yeah, let's let's let's drop
a nuclear weapon on Gaza. That would
Yeah, because it you haven't brought
enough destruction and death and the
killing of
civilians. Uh maybe that'll maybe
that'll finally It's not enough to use
bunker busting bombs to go after Hamas
tunnels. No, you need to use nuclear
weapons. Let's do that. Um let's wipe
off the entire Middle East while you're
at it. And uh you know it's these people
these people have no idea what they're
playing with. Um and you know we are
vehemently an anti-war show. We are a
pro peace show. And I just don't
understand the madness. I think it's I I
you know I've I've been really
contemplating a lot of this lat. I
really think it's like
a it's a soulless sort of Satanism
that's taken over. Um because I don't
know how you could sit there in public,
go on television and say we should drop
a nuc first of all, yeah, drop a nuclear
bomb like that those words would come
out of your mouth and that you would
think that that's okay and you could
just go on Fox News and just say that
Randy fine. I think there's a I think
it's demonic. I really think I really
think these people are controlled by
some really dark forces. To me, it's
like a spiritual battle at this point.
As I said to you, if if the royal family
was Italian, they'd call them a mafia.
They're crime syndicates. These are
evil, narcissistic people. By their
deeds, you shall know them. If they
weren't if they were if they were, you
know, thieves or murderers, you know, in
a in a neighborhood, you don't ask them
why they're crazy or thieves. These are
evil people running the world. Yeah. And
and it's it's that kind of again an
Eisenhower
quote. He said any man seeking the you
can look it up. Any man seeking the
office of
president is
either
crazy or an egoomaniac.
Right.
And again going back to what what was
saying before what Roosevelt did and
anybody could look it up. He seized all
Japanese assets because and this this is
I said when all else fails they take it
to war. The the Great Depression was
going on because the
French Japanese were going into French
Indochina. Oh and then the UK and the
Dutch East Indies. Dutch East Indies.
What the hell are the Dutch doing in
Indonesia? The three of them, UK, Dutch,
and America, cut off three
quarters of Japanese trade as a result
of that. And you ready? 88% of their
imported oil. Japan imports 100% of
their oil. Can't understand why they
bomb Pearl Abas six months later.
Yeah, it's a mystery. Yeah. Again, I
didn't know this until about three
years, four years ago. Again, Google up
Franklin Roosevelt seizes Japanese
assets. Comes out of history today.
Mainstream.
Mainstream. I didn't know this. No, I
think a lot of people didn't know about
Pearl Harbor. I think you're, you know,
people people's minds would be blown to
think that, oh, it wasn't a surprise
attack. We knew it was coming. Yeah, we
knew we knew days ahead of time that
this was coming, that the attack on
Pearl Harbor was happening. There was a
reason we didn't move ships out of
there. We moved a few, but we we
purposefully kept ships there to be
sitting ducks and be targeted. It's a
perfect catalyst. It's a per just like
October 7th. They knew it was coming.
It's a perfect catalyst to then launch a
massive military campaign to further
your interests. So October 7th was
absolutely a gift to Netanyahu and he
knew it was coming and uh it was like
you know it was like a Christmas
present. It was like a Hanukkah present
to Netanyahu. Same thing with
Absolutely. Absolutely. Again what
you're talking about people don't know
have no idea at all. No idea at all.
They also don't know that FDR
purposefully only focused on Hawaii but
didn't really didn't mention in his
address at all the Philippines and the
other islands that were attacked.
There's a specific reason that that was
left out of his address when he frame
famously uh said we have nothing to fear
but fear itself. Didn't even really talk
about I think three or four different
targets that the that the Japanese had
hit that day. Was all part of a plan.
you focus on Hawaii because if you
dilute that message to the American
people, they're not going to rally
around you and want to go to war. So,
ignoring the Philippines, ignoring I
think American Samoa and a couple of
other targets on that particular day.
Forgive me for not hitting those exact
um exact names of those islands, but it
wasn't just Hawaii that was hit. Um but,
you know, that's what FDR focused on to
rally the American people around that
cause. So you can't dilute that message
when you're trying to build up a case
for war, right?
Yep. No, no. You're what you're saying
people have no idea about. And it's so
sad. As I say, when all else fails, they
take it to war. Hey, what followed
the.com bust? Oh, the war on terror. The
war in Iraq. Yeah, you're right. So now
we're facing another.com bust according
to you and Yep. com bust 2.0
and we'll head to war. Yep. Look at
Trump. He's he he sold himself as a
peace candidate. And look what we we're
going to annihilate the people in Yemen.
He comes out and says later. And hey,
you elect me. I'm going to end that
Ukraine war in 24 hours. All right. Hey,
now that I'm in office, I'm going to end
that war before I get into office. All
right. I mean, you can't make this stuff
up. I mean, it's
a it's again, it's one after another.
This is the people that get into
politics. They're either egoomaniacs or
crazy. Oh, I love that. I would love to
be able to ask JD Vance that question if
he runs for president. So JD, you know,
President Eisenhower said that you're
either crazy or an egoomaniac if you
want to run for president. What are you,
crazy or an
egoomaniac? Be a great question, Gerald.
Great to see you. You're not crazy and
you're not an egoomaniac. Um and you
call you hold truth to power. We love
having you on. Um we love your we love
your forecasts. um for people who want
to take advantage of it and uh and
subscribe to the Trends Journal. We'll
have a link in the description below. It
publishes once a week. Very inexpensive
when you compare it to like the Wall
Street Journal or the New York Times or
anything. I read it every week. I love
it. Um and we'll have a link in the
description. I think it's
redacted.trends for people to subscribe.
Uh Gerald, any final thoughts? Any final
words as we head into the end of 2025?
Yeah, we're ve we're still very bullish
on gold. You know, one of our top trends
in 2024 was a golden year for gold. Uh
back then, gold was selling for a little
over $2,000 an ounce and now exploded.
Who knows? Yeah. And it's going to keep
going up. There's no We
see essentially hitting could well hit
$4,000 an ounce now. And again, the
deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold
prices go. And the death of the dollar
has begun. It's only going to come. And
by the way, the United States did what
our founding fathers fought against the
country called the
UK.
The the the British pound died because
of all the wars that they kept fighting.
And then after World War I, that was the
end of the pound and the dollar came in.
The United States became that country
with all the wars that we keep fighting.
What are they putting? a trillion
dollars into the defense budget as our
infrastructures rotting in front of our
eyes. Look at the look at the potholes
and the roads everywhere, the bridges.
Look at take it the the the subway in
New York is a night in Kolkata. Amtrak.
How about AM crap? Look at the joke this
is.
So, what we're saying is that they're
going to do everything they can to
artificially prop up the economy and
they're going to keep doing everything
they can to lower interest rates. It's
going to happen. Trump did it before.
He'll do it again. The lower interest
rates fall, the deeper the dollar falls,
the deeper the dollar falls, the higher
gold prices go. And by the way, if there
weren't these uh cryptoc
currencies, gold prices would probably
be double what they are now. And we've
been bullish on Bitcoin since 2017. And
we said when Trump got into office, but
we we it's right there. We said the
prices are going to rocket up. They're
up some 50% Bitcoin from where it was
before Trump got elected.
Yeah. And it's going to continue to go
higher. Yep.
Um, Gerald, great to see you. Always
great to have you here on the show.
