11
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:47,000
friend at Gerald Celetti of Trends Research is with us now.

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,479
And Jerald, your cover of this week's Trends Journal is

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,399
residential reality show. It's the economy stupid. That kind of

14
00:00:58,479 --> 00:00:59,880
sums it all up, doesn't it.

15
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the phrase that the Clinton campaign used

16
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,879
back in nineteen ninety two. That was behind the scenes.

17
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,840
Things were going.

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: Tough back then.

19
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,519
Speaker 1: You know, the pack of the crash, the market crash

20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,519
in nineteen eighty seven. You know things are going down

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,359
and it's the economy. I mean, that's all the people

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,400
are really interested in, the main thing. And if the

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,519
economy stays where it is well, just goes down a

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,079
little bit. We're forecasting Harris is going to win. It

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,719
has to be something major, like a stock market crash,

26
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,280
you know, something to that effect, the real wildcard that'll

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,120
bring Trump in.

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: And there's more to it.

29
00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,239
Speaker 1: By the way, you go back to our trends journal

30
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,439
I'm going to May of twenty twenty two. The midterm

31
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,120
elections are going on in your trends journalist right there

32
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,640
in black and white, and you got to say black

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,480
and white because I don't have to call racist. Says

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,439
that Kamala Harris is going to be the heir to

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,439
the Democratic throne. This is going back to twenty twenty

36
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:11,800
two because Biden at seventy nine years old, is not

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,439
respected by the American people and because of the economic conditions,

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,479
and she's going to hit the campaign trail and the

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,479
major issue is going to be abortion. Really again, we

40
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:29,879
call it like it is not what you want, not

41
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,719
what you like, not what you wish for, it's what

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,520
is we said. Facts are right there twenty twenty two.

43
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,560
The Republicans are not going to do well in the

44
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,960
midterm elections because they should be doing great because of

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,360
the economy, because of their anti abortion stance for a

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,479
lot of people. It's the one issue election, right and

47
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,560
you look at the numbers and the vast majority of women,

48
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:08,360
Independents and Democrats are pro abortion. And you have the

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,560
Republicans coming out and Trump saying, you know that he

50
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,080
did more to destroy rovers way than anybody vance coming out.

51
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,719
You know anti that is going to be a big

52
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,719
winning ticket for Harris being a pro and by the way,

53
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,520
again not taking a stance making it clear the hypocrisy

54
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680
from these repulsive kins like a little clown boy of

55
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:37,479
nothing like that. Mike Johnson, I'm not talking. I want

56
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:39,599
to make this clear for everybody listening. I'm not talking

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:46,039
about regular people. I'm talking about the politicians. Politicians like him.

58
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,719
Calls himself quote an evangelical Christian, and he's anti You

59
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:55,039
don't kill the babies while before they're born, but more

60
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,960
money for war kill them when they're alive. What hypocrisy?

61
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,840
What hip hoc price. Oh you know you're gonna anti option.

62
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
You don't want to kill a baby that hasn't been born,

63
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,039
but here's more money for the for the Israel war,

64
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,000
for the for the Ukraine war. Keep killing people all

65
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,319
over the place, but don't kill her before they're born.

66
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:19,480
That's the arrogance and stupidity of these little testa dicatsos,

67
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,120
as we would call them an Italian.

68
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: All right, So so you really think she's gonna win?

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,560
But oh yeah, her campaign reminds me of that Seinfeld

70
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,079
episode where George is pitching the script for the movie

71
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,000
and they say what is it about? And he says,

72
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:43,560
it's absolutely about nothing. Yep, right, it's a reality show.

73
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,519
Speaker 1: And she she has again you go back to some

74
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,079
of our other trends general covers, you know, we we

75
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:53,040
we make fun of R and him, you know, and

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,920
and it's, uh, it's basically Mickey Mouse verse verse Donald

77
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,399
Minnie Mouse verys Donald Duck. I mean, yeah, she comes

78
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,920
out smiling and happy at and Trump goes out.

79
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: Here right yeah, right right right out right. I mean,

80
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,079
I mean, yeah, how stupid can you be? Man? How stupid?

81
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,040
The thing is?

82
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,639
Speaker 1: Trump is so damn arrogant and narcissistic. His team knows

83
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,040
he shouldn't be doing what he's doing, but he doesn't

84
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,959
listen to anybody, and he listens to himself. And by

85
00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:26,959
the way, I had lunch with his brother Robert, who

86
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:33,120
passed away back in twenty seventeen. And you know, Robert

87
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,600
was a nice guy, but you know these are daddy's boys. Yeah,

88
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,399
Robert told me his father father left almost a half

89
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:42,600
a billion dollars worth of properties.

90
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:47,319
Speaker 3: That's correct. Yeah. So what about this whole thing that

91
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:52,519
Trump wants to become a dictator and you know the

92
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:57,800
way that they're portraying him is that just does he

93
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,639
really want to be a dictator? I believe so. Again,

94
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,759
listen to his comments.

95
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he said to the Christian people after this, you'll

96
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,279
have have to vote again when I get in there.

97
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's got a twisted sense of humor too,

98
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:16,439
doesn't he Well again, what's right? What's the humor and

99
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,879
what's the facts? Well, how many people did he lock

100
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,480
up for doing offensive memes? How many websites did he

101
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,639
shut order shut down because they said bad things about him?

102
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,959
You know, he didn't really act that way his first term.

103
00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:35,319
Is this one going to be different?

104
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Oh, let's look what he did the first term. He's

105
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,519
the guy that gave us the operation warp, speed, gene therapy,

106
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,040
and oculation. He's the guy that called a state of

107
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:52,319
emergency on March thirteenth, Black Friday, not being racist. That's

108
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,720
they call it Black Friday in twenty twenty. Yeah, he

109
00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:01,240
was the guy that locked down everything. He called the

110
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,279
state of emergency.

111
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what are what do we do here? Like,

112
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,439
how do we get operation piece? What do we do?

113
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: There's no peace? Piece is a dirty word. You're not

114
00:07:12,519 --> 00:07:14,439
allowed to talk about peace. Look what they did to

115
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:18,240
Scott Ritter, a guy that's anti war, a real man,

116
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,000
woman marine, been on the other side. That's why he

117
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:26,680
hates war. And look what they did. FBI came in book.

118
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yes, so war is still a racket. Huh yep?

119
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: And again, piece is a dirty word. Is anybody on

120
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,240
the media talking about peace? Did they have anybody out

121
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:40,439
there talking about peace?

122
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: I haven't heard anybody talking about it.

123
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,319
Speaker 1: No, hequot little clowns like Lindsey Graham.

124
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,079
Speaker 3: He never met a military intervention he didn't love, right, yep.

125
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,720
So we take it back to Smedley Butler. Right, Ye,

126
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,560
war as a racket. Where's a racket? Nothing's changed here,

127
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,480
hows it? Nope? All right?

128
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to a man again who's been on the

129
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,720
other side and knows the horrors of it. General Dwight D.

130
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:17,680
Eisenhower became president Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in

131
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,920
World War II, five star general. He wants the American

132
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:24,959
people that the military industrial complex is robbing the nation

133
00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:28,319
of the genius, of the scientists, the sweat of the labors,

134
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:29,399
in the future of the children.

135
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: Here we are.

136
00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Look at the money going to war. Look at the

137
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,519
hundreds of abilities, the trillions that we spent killing over

138
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,399
a million people in Iraq, Afghanistan, slurtering hundreds of thousands,

139
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,879
several trillion dollars as the country is riding in front.

140
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: Of our eyes. I mean, yeah, I'm in New.

141
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: Yorker, you know, I'm down the city a couple of

142
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,799
weeks ago. This is way worse than it was back

143
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,440
at the worst time in the seventies. Yeah, I know,

144
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:06,639
true garbage everywhere, up out, get down the streets.

145
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do my best to avoid going to New

146
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,000
York City. Yeah, like, whatever it takes to avoid that place,

147
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,720
I avoid it. But they're lying about all the crime

148
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,000
stats and everything else.

149
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,799
Speaker 1: Now too right, yep again, look look at the subway.

150
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,919
It's a night in Calcutt up. How about am crap

this crap. The country's rotting in front of our eyes.

154
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:44,279
Speaker 3: That's the truth. It really is rotting in front of

155
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,399
our eyes. So what's the individual? What are you and

00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,799
Woodstock Radio. They don't, they won't promote anything I do.

168
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,559
They're they're little cowards, their little arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, arrogate.

169
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,080
Not this little boys and hey.

170
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:34,759
Speaker 3: So remember when the Democratic Party was the Party of

171
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,360
freedom and uh civil rights and uh free speech and

172
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,759
all that stuff. Uh what happened to that party?

173
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:50,799
Speaker 1: Very simple again, One of my books Trends two thousands,

174
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:53,759
excuse me, trend tracking far better than Mega trends Time Magazine.

175
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:57,039
I wrote in the book to Decline of the Republic

176
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,399
the Democratic.

177
00:10:57,919 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: Party, who is going to Happen?

178
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,279
Speaker 1: And talked about it more in this book Trends two thousand,

179
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,799
which is an international bestseller. So when they brought that

180
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,840
slime ball in, matter of fact, they even did a

181
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:15,600
T shirt when he was running in nineteen ninety two. Yeah,

182
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:20,039
how did you say that? Yeah, beware slick Willie. That

183
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,200
was the end of the Democratic Party when they.

184
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: Brought him in. Was it hurt him or was it Hillary?

185
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: No, no, it's him, or Hitlary Hilary Hitlary?

186
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

187
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,879
Speaker 1: No, this is the guy that Norman NaSTA. They took

188
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:36,039
our jobs away from America. They brought it out to

189
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,799
cheap labor in Mexico. There's the skump that wire shine

190
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,440
into the World Trade Organization. This is a guy. Central

191
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,519
Communications Act nineteen ninety six were allowed that. Back in

192
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,919
the day, when we were young guys, there were thousands

193
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:56,600
of independent radio stations, newspapers, television stations, all locally owned,

194
00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:02,120
the Big Zone everything. Now this guy he became, he

195
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:08,759
became the Republican. He killed a Democratic Party. Oh how

196
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:12,360
about how about Madeline, not all that right. The man

197
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,559
sheep brought in the l the former UN ambassador who's

198
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,919
on with Leslie Stall on sixty minutes and Leslie Stall

199
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,039
anybody could google it up Leslie Stall Madeline Albright, she

200
00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,120
asks him, is the price of five hundred thousand a

201
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:34,639
rocky children under the age of five that have died

202
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,039
because of what Bill Clinton has done to Iraq? Worth

203
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,559
the price? And Madeline Albright says, yesterdays, all right, Oh

204
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,080
you like to you because of old war, the Yugoslav War.

205
00:12:47,919 --> 00:12:50,960
Look at Bill Clinton. He changed the whole democratic part.

206
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,799
Speaker 3: It became the Party of War. Yeah. Remember, the only

207
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,080
good thing to come out of the Yugoslav War is

208
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,440
that they bombed the Hugo factory. So that saved a

209
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,919
lot of people from driving around the Hugos.

210
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: And you know, people forget with the reason why they

211
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
they took out Yugoslavia because the the was the end

212
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,320
of the Soviet.

213
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: Empire.

214
00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: When Gorbachev was in there, the whole and the other

215
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,000
clown and the whole thing started to die and all

216
00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:28,960
the countries started going with the West, except Yugoslavia. They

217
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960
wanted no part of it. They were going to be

218
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:34,360
their own there was still a socialist nation. People forget

219
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,279
the top diesel engines in the world were being manufactured

220
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:42,759
in Yugoslavia. It was a very advanced and and and

221
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:48,120
again my friends from Montenegro, from Croatia, they all say

222
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,759
how great things were going, and then they caused the revolution.

223
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: Again.

224
00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: It's America getting involved in all these countries that we

225
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,440
should have no business. Again, the founding fathers George Washington's address,

226
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:02,279
don't become involved in any of this.

227
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: We're going off the tenues. Yeah, yeah, so this whole

228
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,679
thing now, I want to switch gears to China. It

229
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,879
looks like everything in that country is like collapsing before

230
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:14,639
our very eyes.

231
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,639
Speaker 1: What are the trends saying there? Okay, let's go back

232
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,919
to twenty nineteen. China was doing great. Then they launched

233
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:29,720
the COVID War in January twenty twenty on their Chinese

234
00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:32,720
little near New Year, the year of the rat Elms

235
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:35,679
and three years of zero COVID policy.

236
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:37,159
Speaker 3: They destroyed the country.

237
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: We used to say before that that the twentieth century

238
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,919
was the American century, but the twenty first century will

239
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:49,799
be the Chinese century. Fine, because the business of America's

240
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,080
war in The business of China is business. But China

241
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,519
went to the COVID War. Let's go back again. This

242
00:14:57,559 --> 00:14:59,679
is why I always say, is no such thing as

243
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:01,399
a few they'll be a predict the future.

244
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:02,559
Speaker 3: There too many wildcards.

245
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Twenty I mentioned about Bill Clinton bringing China into the

246
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,879
World Trade Organization. You look at and it came in,

247
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,240
by the way, two weeks after nine to eleven. You

248
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:16,720
look at China's GDP from like nineteen seventy to two

249
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,799
thousand and one, it's like this going like this thing right,

250
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,480
they get into the World Trade Organization, shoots.

251
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: Up a requiz.

252
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,279
Speaker 1: All the manufacturers that could in Europe and America went

253
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,960
over to China for cheap labor to get this stuff made.

254
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,639
So with all booming economies they thirty some According to

255
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:42,240
the data, some thirty percent of China's GDP is related

256
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,039
to real estate.

257
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: As with all booms, there's a bust.

258
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:51,399
Speaker 1: They made a bust, very bad, terrible by three years

259
00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:56,919
as zero COVID policy. They destroyed their economy and the

260
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,519
second country to lockdown was Italy and America, and one

261
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,799
after another. The damage done by the COVID War is

262
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,320
in calcul in calculate.

263
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: YEP couldn't agree with you more. And you know, looking

264
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,240
at China, so you know they've got a mess on

265
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:17,279
their hands. There's a rumor that she has been deposed.

266
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:20,159
I don't know if it's true or not. Impossible for

267
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:24,480
us to know these things. But so are they going

268
00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:29,919
to invade Taiwan to distract from their problems there? Or

269
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,200
is that all a head fake? I don't know.

270
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,279
Speaker 1: You know, as I say, when all those fails, they

271
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,320
take you to war exactly, And they may do that.

272
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,039
But here's the other thing that China is going to

273
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,600
do the same thing that Russia did. Let's go back

274
00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:48,200
when twenty twenty two when the Ukraine War began and

275
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,600
the United States and Europe put severe sanctions on Russia,

276
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,759
and Biden said, Putin will pay the price.

277
00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: No, they did.

278
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Their economy went up strong. You know why they became

279
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,079
self sustaining.

280
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: Right.

281
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: They have the human and natural resources to do it.

282
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:12,240
The same thing with China. They don't want to be

283
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,119
they don't want made it. They want the people. They're

284
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,119
going to push into the people's brain only buy made

285
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,240
in China. Now, what do you got in America? At

286
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,079
three hundred and thirty two million people, where you got

287
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,319
Europe about four or five hundred million. What do you

288
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:34,039
have in China one point four billion? So one point

289
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:38,680
four billion buying and trading with each other and nothing. Yeah,

290
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:41,720
they're going to go more self sustaining.

291
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: The nationalism. Yeah bye. But you know, China and Russia

292
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,240
really don't like each other much. It seems like nobody

293
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:55,319
likes anybody. And one trend that I know you've commented

294
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,559
to Don a number of times is I don't care

295
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:02,680
where the person is on the planet, what country, wherever.

296
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,920
They hate their government. They absolutely loathe their government.

297
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Right yep, wrote I wrote something the other day, just

298
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,880
wrote this down before politicians took over and humanity was free.

299
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: I left you up. If you tried to tell me

300
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,240
who to be.

301
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,599
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I'm Gavin Newsome. I'm a little arrogant boy.

302
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,680
My daddy worked for the Getty Dang.

303
00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: Oh.

304
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,319
Speaker 1: I have all these successful businesses because the Getty's gave

305
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,359
me all that money.

306
00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what to do.

307
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,079
Speaker 1: I'm a little Andy Cuomo, another little daddy's boy.

308
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 3: My daddy was Mario.

309
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: Lock down your business, close down your go stand six

310
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,440
feet apart, bendover, yes, sir, yes, sir, all right.

311
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you a story. I once went to

312
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:01,039
a political breakfast for Andy Cuomo when he was Attorney General,

313
00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,599
and you know, it was very friendly. He seemed like

314
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,119
he was a bright guy, seemed like he really wanted

315
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,680
to fix the systemic problems of New York. And I said,

316
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,960
do you know, like, Hey, I've been running business that

317
00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:18,720
is in New York since I'm eighteen years old. And

318
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,240
the one thing I can tell you is, whether you're

319
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,799
a small, medium or large, New York hates you and

320
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:28,640
they do everything they can to help you fail. And

321
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,480
you know, he didn't disagree. And then like three weeks later,

322
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:37,920
my law firm got a subpoena from his office. There

323
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,519
you go, hey, And RFK Junior is another story. I

324
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,400
used to work out in the same gem as him

325
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,759
in Westchester, andous to me, it's obvious they've never taken

326
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,680
him as a serious threat because none of the stories

327
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,359
that I have personal knowledge of have ever hit the airwaves. Yeah,

328
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:03,319
so he's just a part of the reality show. He's

329
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,960
the outlaw. You know, you always need a villain, right,

330
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:09,599
Every show needs a villain. If you don't have a

331
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,599
villain in a reality TV show, it dies right.

332
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:17,599
Speaker 1: Yep, and it's all it is. It's a reality again.

333
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:20,799
It's a freak show. We got a bunch of freaks

334
00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:23,599
tell us what to do, and a bunch of little,

335
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:25,079
arrogant little nobodies.

336
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: If they knew what they were talking about, that would

337
00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:31,640
be one thing. But these people are not the brightest people.

338
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,480
They're not our best. Look.

339
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New

340
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,319
York State Senate at twenty six years old.

341
00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you know.

342
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: I used to work on political campaigns in Westchester County.

343
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 3: That's how I began my career.

344
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,319
Speaker 1: I designed it and instructed a course by the way

345
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,279
welled American politics and campaign technology, how to run political campaigns,

346
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,359
and I taught out of Saint John's University. When I

347
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,119
was a number two guy running at Major Trade Association

348
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,839
at thirty years old, I had a photo I picked

349
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,720
up Ronald Reagan at the Chicago Hilton and we had

350
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,559
to put on a trade show at McCormick Place, and

351
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:12,279
he was our speaker. This is two days before he's

352
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:16,359
announcing he's running against Gerald Ford for the nomination. Nineteen

353
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,200
seventy six. I've been with President's Prime Minisism, Princes I've

354
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,799
been on the other side. I know what it looks like.

355
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,640
There are a bunch of these are the people I

356
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,039
hated in high school and college, that wanted to be

357
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:29,759
class president, who had his counsel.

358
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,039
Speaker 3: You got it. I knew exactly what you mean. I

359
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:37,519
totally do. And you hate those people. Yep, kiss ass

360
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,920
brown those you know. I was trying to explain to

361
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,279
somebody who spoke Spanish what a kiss ass was. So

362
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,359
finally I had to pull up a meme of a

363
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:55,039
guy with his She said, oh now I understand. Oh yeah,

364
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,920
that's how you get ahead. To get get ahead, to

365
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,759
go ahead, you got to get ahead along.

366
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: To go along, right, you got to suck up and

367
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:06,160
bow down and take a crap. When I quit to

368
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:09,039
send it was one of my best friends, Brian Donniu,

369
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:12,119
may rest in peace. His wife became a lieutenant governant

370
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,839
under the attacking standing in the back of the chamber, right,

371
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:21,519
and he got this fat slob opening the door. Senator

372
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:27,160
Frank Jones, Senator Tom McNeil, what's this crap with this

373
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,680
guy opening the door. People can't open the door by themselves.

374
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,559
Speaker 3: They look at me.

375
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:35,839
Speaker 1: Then we'd be talking and my buddies would follow the

376
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,640
senators to the seat when they came in, pull out

377
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,839
the chair and help him sit down.

378
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: You can blow up. You got it, Royalty.

379
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: They come back, I say, hey, man, what's the matter?

380
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:49,920
Cat can't sit down by himself. He needs some help. See,

381
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,640
you know, Gerald, you have that kind of an attitude.

382
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,680
You're not going to make it here. I just listen, man,

383
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:54,799
this ain't my trip.

384
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,039
Speaker 3: I quit. They could believe when I quit, I'm not

385
00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:00,720
going to do this crap. No, you know, I was

386
00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:04,240
in the Austria a couple of summers ago and looking

387
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:09,079
at the Habsburg Museums stuff. I mean we got like

388
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,880
the same thing, except that our people aren't royalty, but

389
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,519
they seem to have been in bread uh you know,

390
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,039
as part of this effort to get them where they are.

391
00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: Yep, I think the Churment just said royalty. Why royalty

392
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,519
a crime syndicate murdering people all over the world.

393
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 3: Oh, we don't peel pooh, we're royalty very much? What

394
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:42,039
made up this royalty clap? All right? I'm afleet. So

395
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,160
we're going to have this global collapse, right, I mean

396
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,720
that's baked in the cake. They seem to want it, right,

397
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,279
This is what their their game plan is, how do

398
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:52,000
you survive it?

399
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:56,039
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a game plan. Uh, it's going

400
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,599
to be a collapse. And again, when nobody's talking about

401
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:01,440
and going back to the COVID War and only in

402
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,960
your trends journal, go back to May of twenty twenty

403
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,119
when they started locking down the country.

404
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,759
Speaker 3: I remember it well. I didn't pay any attention to it,

405
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:14,039
but I still couldn't go out to a restaurant to

406
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:16,079
go eat.

407
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,039
Speaker 1: And you couldn't go to work. Your office vacancy rate vacant,

408
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,359
I asked adad just came out in New York City

409
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,799
forty percent vacant.

410
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,799
Speaker 3: It's a ghost.

411
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:37,599
Speaker 1: How San Francisco, you're all of the offices like eighty

412
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,480
or something there. Oh, just all the that's just the

413
00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:43,559
office vacancy rate, but all the commercial I'm not putting

414
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:45,880
the commercial in. It's lower when you put the commercial in,

415
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,759
it's only about In New York it's about twenty four percent.

416
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:56,799
But the office vacancy is forty percent San Francisco. Before

417
00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:02,640
the COVID War, your office vacancy rate excuse yeah, the

418
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,279
office vacancy rate was five percent right time in New

419
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,759
York wasn't there. New York was nine digits. New York

420
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,720
was higher. Now it's thirty four point five percent. The

421
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:20,640
hotels are doing terrible, the streets of silver crap and people.

422
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:24,480
Now I'm mentioning this because there's going to be massive

423
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:29,559
to faults on commercial real estate. Oh yeah, particularly the

424
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:34,599
office buildings. No one's talking about this, No one, not

425
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,359
the mainstream media. They won't refuse to report on it.

426
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,799
Let's go back to twenty twenty three. Three banks went bus,

427
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:48,440
Silicon Valley, Conman Bank, first Republican signature. Yeah, gold prices

428
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,240
skyrocketed and the market was tanking. Three banks. You have

429
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,160
four trillion dollars worth the commercial real estate loans coming

430
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,240
up in the next over the next two years, there's

431
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:04,200
going to be default like like you've never seen. Here's

432
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,839
a fact, you know, New York, fiftieth Street mid Towen,

433
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,240
a building that sold for three one hundred and twenty

434
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,240
million dollars in two thousand and six, two weeks ago,

435
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:26,599
went up for auction. They sold it for eight point

436
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,720
five million dollars.

437
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,559
Speaker 3: I saw that. You saw that. Yeah, So.

438
00:26:34,079 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: The office building bus is going to cause the banks

439
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,319
to go bust. That's going to crash the global economy,

440
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,640
the equity markets, and ramp up World War three because

441
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,160
when all those sales, they take you to war. Just

442
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,680
go back to the Great Depression again. People don't know this,

443
00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:55,039
you know. I do podcasts with Judge Adrewopolitano eachure on

444
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:58,960
the Gerald celenty Channel, and when we're talking about in

445
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,000
World War two, he said, oh, yeah, you said the

446
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:05,039
Americans and the British cut off all the oil supply

447
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:05,599
going in.

448
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:12,519
Speaker 3: Mostly that's not true. No to Japan. Oh, to Japan,

449
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:14,799
that's what triggered it. Yeah, but there was still trading

450
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:18,720
with the Nazis throughout World War two. Right.

451
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,759
Speaker 1: Why in other words, why the Japanese bomb pro abit?

452
00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:28,119
So like google up, you could anybody google up Franklin

453
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,799
Roosevelt seizes a Japanese assets.

454
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 3: Google it up.

455
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: History today comes up.

456
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: Again.

457
00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:37,559
Speaker 1: When all those fails, they take it to war. There's

458
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,640
the Great Depressions going on. In July of nineteen forty one.

459
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,680
President of Franklin Roosevelt seized all Japanese assets.

460
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,759
Speaker 3: In America July twenty sixth.

461
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Because there was dirty Japanese invaded French Indo China. Wait

462
00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:00,200
a minute, French Indo China. I think that's called Vietnam

463
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:04,160
and Laos and Cambodia, right, And what the hell are

464
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,119
the French doing over there? Oh, we're stealing their tin,

465
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:12,400
their rubber, greape, pillage robbing. How dare those Japanese go

466
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:13,640
in there? Oh?

467
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, the French Foreign Legion?

468
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:20,839
Speaker 1: Then you google it can right there, the Dutch and

469
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,559
the UK with the United States cut off three quarters

470
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:31,640
of Japan's global trade, right, and eighty eight percent of

471
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,839
their imported oil, the only imported on you.

472
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,759
Speaker 3: I see it right here, yeah, right right there. Yep.

473
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,119
Can't understand why. I'll put the link in the show

474
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,559
notes here, Gerald, I think that's really important. I didn't

475
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,200
know this. I didn't know this until two years ago.

476
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,240
I knew they cut off the oil, right, I didn't

477
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:54,680
know the other parts. But at the same time, throughout

478
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,880
World War two, our great corporations were all trading with

479
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,640
the Germans, all of them gm Ford. I mean, the

480
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,599
archives are full of this, and so it makes you

481
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,960
wonder what the heck the war was really about. It

482
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
wasn't about what they said.

483
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: It was.

484
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:19,519
Speaker 3: Oh how about Prescott Bush, Yeah, Union Bank right, a

485
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,519
Switzerland right director wandered Nazi.

486
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,519
Speaker 1: Money again I didn't know this. Again, when all else fails,

487
00:29:27,519 --> 00:29:30,319
they take you to war. Yeah, and then you and

488
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,480
you read that thing. And the Americans also, they also

489
00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:38,160
are angry about the French the Japanese going into Vietnam.

490
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,519
They took over a Cameron Air Force basis is it

491
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,000
right there, which was eight hundred miles away from the

492
00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:46,519
United States troops in the Philippines.

493
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: What now were we doing in the Philippines? Oh?

494
00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:54,319
Speaker 1: Oh, and the British were in Singapore? What now? Oh?

495
00:29:54,359 --> 00:29:56,039
The sun never sets on the British Empire.

496
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: Forgot?

497
00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:58,319
Speaker 1: They could kill anybody, anyone everywhere.

498
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: I have a great book for you if you haven't

499
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,480
read it already, and I know you're like an avid reader.

500
00:30:06,279 --> 00:30:09,680
It's written from a real lefty perspective, but it was

501
00:30:09,759 --> 00:30:14,799
so so spot on. It's called Gangsters of Capitalism. Smedley

502
00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:20,640
Butler the Marines and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire.

503
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,920
I mean, he goes through every single military intervention the

504
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,319
United States did from after the Civil War up to

505
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,960
and including World War One, and Smedley Butler was at

506
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:40,519
each of those military incursions, which is why like when

507
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:44,440
we like, where was it in Costa Rica or Guatemala

508
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:48,759
where we basically invaded the country to save United fruit

509
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:55,000
because they were nationalizing the plantations. And it's like there's nothing,

510
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,759
this history never got written, you know.

511
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:04,039
Speaker 1: Nope, No, it's so sad, you know, it breaks my heart.

512
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:08,839
And but anyway, that's again, like you said, I what

513
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,039
are you going to do? I'm doing everything I can do.

514
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,599
You're doing what you can do, and everybody has to

515
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:15,759
do what they can do. And again, you know, as

516
00:31:15,759 --> 00:31:18,480
I said, if the billionaires, if a billionaire donated to

517
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:21,799
our occupied peace movement, we'd had peace. We have billion

518
00:31:21,839 --> 00:31:22,599
dollars a piece.

519
00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:26,559
Speaker 3: Hey, so what about Elon Musk? Give us your take

520
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,599
on there, you.

521
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: Guys onto his own ego trips.

522
00:31:29,599 --> 00:31:33,279
Speaker 3: I see it, well, you know, but I don't know

523
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,160
who's behind to them. What is real deal is? You know,

524
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,680
electric vehicles all right, you could say what you like

525
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,880
about them, but honestly, I think they're better than gas

526
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,119
powered ones. Not that they're going to save the world,

527
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,640
because that's a ridiculous notion. Uh Man's very nature, very

528
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,960
existence is an attack on nature, right, we have to

529
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:57,920
we have to subvert nature to survive. We can't just

530
00:31:58,599 --> 00:32:03,559
get along with nature and have the population, stay the same,

531
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,160
or go up electric vehicles.

532
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: We had one of our top trends for twenty twenty

533
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,000
four was EV's go fu. We've been writing about the

534
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:18,000
evs since the beginning. You're looking at a battery that

535
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,960
the batteries were invented in eighteen hundred, I dare it's

536
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,160
they're the sales are going down everywhere except in China,

537
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,599
and they're going up in China because they're giving the people,

538
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:32,480
you know, money to buy these things.

539
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:33,279
Speaker 3: But they're not.

540
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:37,079
Speaker 1: And again, sixty percent of China's energy, by the way,

541
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,559
comes from coal, so you know, the pollution rates are

542
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:42,359
still very high.

543
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: Now, evs aren't the answer.

544
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:48,599
Speaker 1: Again, if we took the money again, as Eisenhowers said,

545
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,160
we're robbing the nation of the genius, of the scientists,

546
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:54,480
sweat of the labors, in the future of the children.

547
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,400
If we put this money rather than going into war,

548
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,640
into research and development, we'd be we'd have a real

549
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,759
clean energy cars and clean energy life. But again, let's

550
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:09,440
go Yeah, I'm the Hudson River over here. How you

551
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,039
like all those PCBs in it?

552
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,039
Speaker 3: Gee? Thank you? Ge? Yeah?

553
00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: How about how about all the microplastics? I mean, how

554
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,839
about how about all the ultra processed foods that people

555
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,799
gulped down with all that crappy food.

556
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,279
Speaker 3: That's a that's a manufactured product. Process food should not

557
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:30,079
be called food. Yep.

558
00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:33,759
Speaker 1: I remember when we were young guys, there used to

559
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:35,880
be a thing called the Wringling Brothers in Bottom and

560
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,920
Bailey circuits. Yeah, it went out of business. You know what,

561
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,039
you get to save the elephants. No, you don't have

562
00:33:43,119 --> 00:33:46,359
to step right up, step right up. See the fat man,

563
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,759
see the tattooed lady, see the beauty lady. You don't

564
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:53,000
have to pay for it anymore around the street everywhere.

565
00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:58,799
Speaker 3: So they couldn't take the competition. Huh No, they're everywhere. Hey,

566
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,599
do you know what Edison's most profitable invention was the

567
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:10,119
alkaline battery? All right? That was way more profitable than lighting,

568
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:13,639
than electric, than anything else, because you know who the

569
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:18,360
biggest the purchaser of the alkaline batteries were the US

570
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,440
military War two, and he made them in his factory

571
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,400
in New Jersey, And that's just where I grew up.

572
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,280
If you've never gone to Edison's lab, it really is

573
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,400
worth going to. He had his faults as a person,

574
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,880
but you will do yeah, yeah, we're none of us

575
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,920
are saints here, let's face it. But you know it,

576
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,480
really that was his most profitable invention. Forget movies, forget

577
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:53,960
phonograph records, forget light bulbs and power generation because he

578
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,360
screwed that up. And Tesla, the original Nikolai Tesla, was

579
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,599
really the behind a lot of the electrifications. So so

580
00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:06,599
you know, nothing really ever changes. Hey, one thing about

581
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:12,880
these empty skyscrapers, you know, for are screwed up society

582
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,360
where a single parenthood seems to be the norm. Honestly,

583
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,119
the lockdowns and the remote working where it's possible really

584
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:25,519
helped these single parents a lot because they don't have

585
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:27,719
to go to the office every day, assuming they still

586
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,679
have a job. Right.

587
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, but again going back to those buildings, all of

588
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,719
the buildings again, that one on fifteenth Street did non

589
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,920
convertible into housing. They get it's in the middle of

590
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,800
the block, so you got this big empty space, you

591
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,880
got no windows. All these are clay store These things

592
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,000
are just they're just empty, big empty steel and glass.

593
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,159
Speaker 3: They're not convertible. Yeah, their maximum floor space. They didn't

594
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:01,280
care about views. Like the old buildings, like the Empire

595
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,599
State Building, the Chrysler building. All could be converted because

596
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:10,159
they the distance from the core of the building where

597
00:36:10,159 --> 00:36:13,119
the elevators are is perfect. And that's why they converted

598
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:16,559
all those buildings down in Wall Street. They were perfectly

599
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,119
re repurposed. But you can't take these office buildings. How

600
00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:24,840
are you going to take the old GM building on

601
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,599
Fifth Avenue had turned that into housing. It can't be.

602
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Done no, by the way, New York Times in the

603
00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:33,199
Metropolitan section.

604
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: Just about a month ago, the Salives.

605
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: Had a major story about Joseph pel Lombardi, who redid

606
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:49,039
Liberty Tower that's right near it's about nineteen I think

607
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:53,480
it's nineteen oh seven or nineteen ten building that he

608
00:36:53,599 --> 00:36:59,880
bought in nineteen seventy eight. I believe he was the

609
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:03,960
only one to bid on it. He paid under a

610
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:08,960
million dollars for it and converted it into beautiful apartments.

611
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,960
That's my cousin, oh really, yeah. My second cousin is

612
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,719
my mother's Yeah, and that's who They called them a visionary.

613
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:23,599
It's my mother's cousin's son. Each other, and I know,

614
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,000
forget his father. We used to come visit us, who

615
00:37:26,039 --> 00:37:29,840
was such a kind man. But anyway, he's They called

616
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,320
them a visionary. So the visionaries in the blood and

617
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:35,000
uh yeah, so.

618
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh that that's so true. Yep soy. So is there

619
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:42,719
any place you can hide, any country you can go to. Yeah,

620
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:48,559
it's gonna be safe, Costa Rica, Thailand, U. So stay

621
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:49,119
where you are.

622
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,079
Speaker 1: I bought you know, I own three of the most

623
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:57,360
historic buildings in America. It's the only corner. Anybody could

624
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,679
google it up, most historic four corners in America.

625
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 3: King in New York.

626
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: It's the only place with pre revolutionary warstone buildings. Yeah,

627
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,880
seventeen fifty, seventeen sixty three and seventeen seventy four. The

628
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,239
other one's sixteen eighty one, and that's a museum.

629
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

630
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: I bought them because I was looking to leave the

631
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,480
country back in twenty ten, and everywhere I went, man,

632
00:38:20,559 --> 00:38:20,960
it's not.

633
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: Going to work exactly.

634
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: And I came back from Berlin on April seventeenth, twenty

635
00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:41,320
April twenty seventh, twenty twenty twelve. I'd never been to

636
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,000
Berlin before. I spent a lot of time in Paris.

637
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:47,719
I used to date Mary Pierre. Berlin was granther than

638
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,320
Paris before they bombed out, right, And I'm saying to myself.

639
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,199
We were the peeple. How can they didn't stop this?

640
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:00,519
You're losing. Why didn't the people stop it? Came back

641
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:02,880
in one of the buildings in seventeen to fifty Franz

642
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,119
Roganhouse and up to sale when I was away, and

643
00:39:05,199 --> 00:39:09,000
I bought it, and I bought the other three because

644
00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:13,000
the seeds of democracy was selling here. Kingston was the

645
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,440
first capital of the New York State. I bought for

646
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:18,519
jewelry duty. And the guy running the show said, see

647
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:23,559
that picture of behind me, that painting, that's John Jay.

648
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: John Jay was right, sure, here's the Chief Justice. Yeah,

649
00:39:27,679 --> 00:39:29,199
he was a judge joking.

650
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: Here the Constitution I was written for New York State

651
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,599
and Kingston right across the street, over seventy percent of

652
00:39:36,639 --> 00:39:41,320
America's constitution, he said, consent Constitution. I bought those buildings

653
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,239
because the scenes of democracy was sewn here. And by

654
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,239
the way, that's where I had the rally, and I

655
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,639
said to myself, I can't run away, love her to

656
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:54,159
leave it, though you leave it. I'm only me because

657
00:39:54,199 --> 00:39:58,440
of monopoly. Donald born in the Bronx. Want to be free.

658
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,760
Don't tell me what to do. I will tell you

659
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,880
what to do. Exact if you try to tell me

660
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,719
what to do, you got to fight on Eyams.

661
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:08,519
Speaker 3: So we be alone.

662
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,559
Speaker 1: That's why I bought these buildings, and that's why I'm

663
00:40:12,559 --> 00:40:13,000
still here.

664
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 3: I think I mentioned to you my mother was born

665
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:21,440
in Kingston, so and her family was all in Beacon,

666
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,599
all along the river there well the tank farms World

667
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:29,119
War two is where they made all their money with

668
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,519
the tank farms there, Wow, right on the Hudson still

669
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:34,880
there to the well. As of twenty years ago. The

670
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,679
last time I was by there, they were still there.

671
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:38,960
So Beacon.

672
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: I had gone through a divorce in the late nineties

673
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:50,719
and I was living out in Rhinebeck and I was

674
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,360
living in a country. I got to get out of here.

675
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,119
So it was hes going to be Hudson, Beacon or Kingston.

676
00:40:57,679 --> 00:40:59,719
Back when I came to Kingston, I bought the building

677
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,199
on Now in two thousand and two, Beacon was one

678
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,400
dead street.

679
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 3: I know, I remember it. Now it is alive and

680
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,440
it is beautiful. That's great to hear. It's beautiful.

681
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:23,199
Speaker 1: And the train stops there, both the Amtrak and the

682
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,079
Metro North yep So people come back and forth to

683
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,519
the city, come up there on the weekends. Beacon is

684
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:34,760
doing great, beautiful, great places to go to. I enjoy

685
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,039
going there a lot, so I wouldn't own what I own,

686
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,679
but I would have had a better time having fun.

687
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,679
They beacon because they got music, nightlife, and they have

688
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,760
to by the way, with COVID. Now nine o'clock everything

689
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,159
is dead. Nine o'clock everything is dead.

690
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: Well in Florida. Here, that's when things are just getting started.

691
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,760
But old people like me got to go home at

692
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:01,199
that point. Gerald. One partying piece of advice to all

693
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,639
of you listening out there.

694
00:42:03,079 --> 00:42:06,079
Speaker 1: What would it be, Do everything you can to get

695
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:10,440
the best shape you can physically, emotionally and spiritually. You're

696
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,280
in the fight for your life, all right. I like you, yeah,

697
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,119
And by the way, I don't give financial advice. One

698
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:19,800
of our top trends for twenty twenty four was a

699
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,360
golden year for gold. Gold prices are up now over

700
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:26,880
four hundred dollars an ounce since we made that forecast,

701
00:42:27,559 --> 00:42:29,159
we skeep going much much higher.

702
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,679
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree with you more. We'll see if the mining

703
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:35,559
industry ever comes back to life, though, Because I love

704
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:38,360
the mining industry, I've worked with the companies there, but

705
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,920
it's so hard to ever bring a mind online nowadays,

706
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,920
you know it's virtually impossible. So all right, Trends Research
