Speaker 1: Funny is now is Gerald Clinty is always great to
Speaker 1: have Gerald on in his excellent publication Trends Journal at
Speaker 1: Trendsjournal dot com. You can save ten percent with a
Speaker 1: code night, and I've got it right here in front
Speaker 1: of me on this device here for AI giants, this
Speaker 1: is his top news story as well. For AI Giants
Speaker 1: announced six hundred and sixty billion dollars and twenty twenty
Speaker 1: six capital costs. That's half a trillion, a little bit
Speaker 1: more than half a trillion, So Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft,
Speaker 1: that's not even including Anthropic, which has been very very successful,
Speaker 1: has some very very powerful software that's out there. So
Speaker 1: what's happening?
Speaker 2: Gerald.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this for a long time. I've
Speaker 1: not really been in tune to how quickly this stuff
Speaker 1: is accelerating. And I just wrote ANPA piece from a
Speaker 1: guy who is a software consultant, and he was talking
Speaker 1: about how incredibly fast the pace of acceleration is on
Speaker 1: this and how they're replacing software engineers leting go. They're
Speaker 1: doing that first so they can evolve this more quickly
Speaker 1: into every other field.
Speaker 3: The two elements of this that are very important. One
Speaker 3: is the one you're talking about and the other is
Speaker 3: what's happening to these companies that are going to use
Speaker 3: software companies that you're not going to need anymore. And
Speaker 3: you're seeing the effects starting to hit Wall Street like
Speaker 3: they did last week. So a lot of these software companies,
Speaker 3: they're going to be useless because AI is taking over.
Speaker 3: That's going to bring down the equity markets big time.
Speaker 3: Number two. Who's going to lead the world in AI?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The Chinese.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Business of America's war, the business of China's business. Again,
Speaker 3: we only go by the facts. I've mentioned this a
Speaker 3: dozen times on your show.
Speaker 1: But it'd be very easy for them to repurpose this
Speaker 1: stuff into war as well. When we look at the
Speaker 1: new tools of war, whether it's autonomous killing machine like
Speaker 1: droans or whatever, or robotics. I mean, they're way ahead
Speaker 1: in terms of robotics in China.
Speaker 3: Way ahead. So the thing is, again, as I said,
Speaker 3: when Bill Clinton, before Bill Clinton let China come into
Speaker 3: the World Trade Organization twenty five years ago, only ten
Speaker 3: percent of Chinese eighteen year olds went to college. Today
Speaker 3: nearly seventy percent, and China is investing very heavily in AI.
Speaker 3: In America, you go to college to get a degree
Speaker 3: in transgender studies or something. You know, they're doing it
Speaker 3: different in China. They're going they had to learn more about,
Speaker 3: you know, what the world is going on and how
Speaker 3: they could profit from it.
Speaker 1: But even if you get a degree in computer engineering
Speaker 1: or software engineering or electrical engineering or whatever many cases,
Speaker 1: what we're hearing now is that this whole thing's been
Speaker 1: turned upside down. Your degree or your computer software degree
Speaker 1: is about as useful as a political science degree or
Speaker 1: basket weaving degree when I was going to school. So
Speaker 1: people are getting out they said, we can't get the
Speaker 1: entry level positions because they can already use AI for
Speaker 1: the entry level positions, you know, going in and testing
Speaker 1: the software. They've already got AI agents that will do
Speaker 1: that type.
Speaker 2: Of thing exactly.
Speaker 3: So this AI is going to bring down the world
Speaker 3: in a number of ways. Again, one of my sayings
Speaker 3: is they say the meek shall inherit the earth. I
Speaker 3: said they misspelled it in the King's James Bible. The
Speaker 3: geeks have inherited the earth. Yeah, now let's look at
Speaker 3: another aspect of this. You're seeing again, you're seeing what's
Speaker 3: happening in the equity markets. You're seeing the law the
Speaker 3: money that they're spending and the losses that are happening
Speaker 3: because these software companies are going to go out of business.
Speaker 3: What's going to happen in San Francisco? What do they
Speaker 3: have a vacancy rate now? Probably about thirty five percent
Speaker 3: office vacancy rate. That's going to get a lot worse
Speaker 3: to all over the country. And again, nobody's talking about
Speaker 3: the office vacancy rates. Officially in the United States, they're
Speaker 3: about a little over twenty percent vacant. Nobody there go
Speaker 3: to Castle Systems. The last number I saw KSTLA, the
Speaker 3: office occupancy rate in the United States is forty eight percent.
Speaker 3: Just talking to my buddy in Chicago, he has about
Speaker 3: seventy apartment not buildings, but apartments that he rents, the
Speaker 3: buildings that he owns. He said, downtown Chicago is dead.
Speaker 3: And I lived in Chicago for a number of years,
Speaker 3: seven years and when this guy's a real cat and
Speaker 3: he said downtown is dead dead. The damage that the
Speaker 3: COVID war has done is incalculable. Yes, in again we're
Speaker 3: talking about young people again. They're all addicted AI AI, AI,
Speaker 3: high tech addicted. They're not going out dancing anymore. Of
Speaker 3: the role phone. But anyway, going back to this whole
Speaker 3: AI thing, it's going it's oh again, going back and
Speaker 3: putting all this AI and high tech. Look at how
Speaker 3: people aren't going out to eat anymore and they're getting
Speaker 3: food delivered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, or even if they go out. There
Speaker 1: was an article that I had I talked to David
Speaker 1: Moonson about that. It was an article from the Atlantic
Speaker 1: that went viral. The Ferstone's complaining said, you know, since
Speaker 1: COVID people don't even go if they go to the restaurant,
Speaker 1: they don't stay there to eat, they walk up to
Speaker 1: the counter and get a brown bag and take it out.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody is just isolated anymore.
Speaker 3: So again you're taking this whole high tech AI. The
Speaker 3: whole world is changing in front of our eves. Again.
Speaker 3: We we have forecast on are the top trends for
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six is dot com bus two point zero.
Speaker 3: You're seeing it happening already with these software companies going
Speaker 3: out of business and AI taking over what they don't
Speaker 3: need to do anymore. And number two is that China
Speaker 3: is going to lead the world in AI and they've
Speaker 3: over invested in these companies.
Speaker 1: You see it in the growth. You see it in
Speaker 1: the sorry. You see it in the stock market, for example,
Speaker 1: the consolidation. You know, most of the stocks are not
Speaker 1: doing very well. It's all focused on just a few companies,
Speaker 1: and it's going to become more and more that way,
Speaker 1: isn't it. You know, just a few people doing Like
Speaker 1: this guy who was a software engineer, he said, look,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm talking about this because I've got an AI
Speaker 1: startup and we see this stuff first. But he goes,
Speaker 1: we didn't build a foundation on this, and the things
Speaker 1: that are changing underneath us are changing so rapidly, and
Speaker 1: we don't have any control over where this is going either.
Speaker 1: It's just a few people and it's just a few
Speaker 1: companies that are doing this. That's the other thing, that
Speaker 1: concentration of wealth that is there.
Speaker 3: You and I are old enough to remember the beginning
Speaker 3: of the Internet revolution. Do you remember all the computer
Speaker 3: companies that came out? Oh yeah, and then what happened?
Speaker 3: Just a couple took over. It was they were loaded
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, Apple, Microsoft, a couple
Speaker 3: of companies, a couple of companies took over everything. Dell,
Speaker 3: there were there were so many and that's what's going
Speaker 3: to happen is going to be more and more consolidation.
Speaker 3: And again you're looking at this country and the and
Speaker 3: the here. What was the big news last week in
Speaker 3: the business section. Oh, Walmart's now worth a trillion dollars.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, eleven thousand stores. Go back to when you
Speaker 3: and I were young guys, there were hardware stores, stationary stores,
Speaker 3: shoes stores, drug stores, hardware stores, of stores, mom and
Speaker 3: pops all gone, God, the big zone everything. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: own everything. This is not a democracy or a republic
Speaker 3: by the words of this cat by the name of Mussolini.
Speaker 3: The merger's state and corporate powers is called fascism, and
Speaker 3: it's right in front of everybody's eyes.
Speaker 1: If people don't even get that, people don't even understand that.
Speaker 1: I talked this week about a ridiculous headline that I
Speaker 1: saw on zero Hedge, and it was op ed piece
Speaker 1: from somebody named Jenna, and she was saying, if you're
Speaker 1: allowed to criticize them, it's not fascism. So she doesn't
Speaker 1: even understand the difference between economic system and authoritarianism. And
Speaker 1: of course we are headed down in authoritarianism. That's one
Speaker 1: of the articles that you got the coming ice age.
Speaker 1: You know of tyranny, this there, but you've also got
Speaker 1: an article and trends research about young people, say sixty
Speaker 1: percent jump in psychotic disorders in the last thirty years
Speaker 1: as a study, and again part of this in your
Speaker 1: article you talk about psychosis and the psychosis, Well, that's
Speaker 1: not being able to tell reality from your fantasies, right,
Speaker 1: And that's really kind of where we are. You know
Speaker 1: what's real and what isn't real, and people can't distinguish
Speaker 1: the fantasy world from reality anymore. And it's getting worse
Speaker 1: and worse as we become more and more online, as
Speaker 1: we become more and more isolated from everybody. It's this consolidation,
Speaker 1: this isolation, and it's the pace of change. Somebody had
Speaker 1: to comment the other day. They said that AI is
Speaker 1: bothering everybody. Not so much because it's AI. It's bothering
Speaker 1: them because the pace of change is so disruptive to
Speaker 1: everybody's lives.
Speaker 3: But again, look what the internet again the geek seven
Speaker 3: heroded the Earth. Yeah, yeah, look at go back again.
Speaker 3: And when you look at the article, Yes, it's changed
Speaker 3: over the last thirty years, but it accelerated since the
Speaker 3: COVID war. So here's what happened. So now I'm a
Speaker 3: young kid, right and went back in the day after school,
Speaker 3: come home at three o'clock, mom, going out, Make sure
Speaker 3: you're home at six o'clock. That's what we all used to,
Speaker 3: sit down and have dinner, right right, Not where you're going.
Speaker 3: What you're doing again, I should have been dead one
Speaker 3: hundred times. But anyway, you know, you're a kid. Now
Speaker 3: what happened covid. Stay in your house. You can't go out.
Speaker 3: You can't go swimming, you can't play ball, you can't
Speaker 3: do this, you can't do that. Get back to your house. Yeah,
Speaker 3: all right, you're a young kid. You want to go
Speaker 3: out and play have a good time. No you can't,
Speaker 3: Oh politician, you do what I'm telling you to do.
Speaker 3: Oh god, so Gavin, it's kie place to be. Let
Speaker 3: me tell you what to do. Is I'm partying up
Speaker 3: with the French laundry.
Speaker 2: That's right, all right.
Speaker 3: They destroyed the lives of these kids, They destroyed them.
Speaker 3: They're all screwed up here again. Back in the day,
Speaker 3: used to go out the U Step, go out dancing.
Speaker 3: Nobody's going out dancing anymore. They're on their phone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's gone, it's gone. This COVID thing. The damage it's
Speaker 3: done is incalculable, and no one talks about it, no one,
Speaker 3: no one, what they've done. They've destroyed the lives and
Speaker 3: livelihoods of billions of people are across the globe. Again,
Speaker 3: we only put the facts in there. I was launched
Speaker 3: on Chinese and the Lu New Year, the Year of
Speaker 3: the Rat in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, you.
Speaker 3: Know why, because there are protests going on in Hongkong.
Speaker 3: I used to be on Hong Kong TV when all
Speaker 3: this was going on. Hong Kong is city of seven
Speaker 3: point five million people. Over a million people were taking
Speaker 3: to the streets to stop the Chinese from taking over
Speaker 3: because the deal they did when finally the UK gave
Speaker 3: it up that Hong Kong was supposed to be independent
Speaker 3: politically for forty years, the Chinese were taken over. The
Speaker 3: Hong Kong people didn't want it to stop. They wanted freedom.
Speaker 3: The Chinese could not stop it. They launched the COVID War.
Speaker 3: You can't go out, get back in your house. They
Speaker 3: overtook Hong Kong and again again only the facts. You
Speaker 3: know what, one of our top trends of twenty twenty
Speaker 3: was New World disorder again. We put those out in
Speaker 3: the end of December. Back then and COVID war starts
Speaker 3: early January. There were protests going on South America, Chile, Bolivia, Columbia, Argentina, Lebanon,
Speaker 3: South Africa, the French yellow vests, people all over the India,
Speaker 3: the Farmer's protest locked. There were protests going on all
Speaker 3: over the world because of people's lack of basic living standards,
Speaker 3: prime government corruption and violence. COVID happened. Get back in
Speaker 3: your house, Get back in your house. You can't go out.
Speaker 3: Everybody forgets this. And again I talked about the office
Speaker 3: building bust. They again, your vacancy rate now it used
Speaker 3: to be about nine percent. Now it's over twenty percent.
Speaker 3: They can't pay their debt on the offices that they own.
Speaker 3: The people aren't going back to work again. Now you
Speaker 3: go back to the other data. Let's go back to China.
Speaker 3: China with all booms, there's a bus. They overbuilt the place.
Speaker 2: You have.
Speaker 3: Over ninety million vacant apartments in China. Wow, ninety million.
Speaker 3: The middle class is shrunk. Look at luxury goods. Oh,
Speaker 3: all the sales are down. Wonder why, because the Chinese
Speaker 3: were going out all over Europe, all over Asia, they
Speaker 3: were buying, they were booming. They locked down the place
Speaker 3: zero COVID policy for three years. The middle class is
Speaker 3: dead in China now, the young people can't find jobs,
Speaker 3: the apartment vacancy rates, as I mentioned on and on
Speaker 3: and on, and this is going on around the world
Speaker 3: that nobody's talking about. The damage that this COVID war's
Speaker 3: done is incalculable.
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree, I agree, And it was a war.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right to call it a war. You've always
Speaker 1: said when people lose everything, they lose it, and then
Speaker 1: they take us to war, right, And as you point out,
Speaker 1: they had all these different places all over the world.
Speaker 1: People are pushing back. All of a sudden they lock
Speaker 1: everything down. I remember when this first began. I noticed that, well,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, they're talking about people getting sick from
Speaker 1: bat soup, and all of a sudden, I would have
Speaker 1: anything to do with the fact that their only biosafety
Speaker 1: level four lab is right there where the wet market is.
Speaker 1: And so I thought at the very beginning in December,
Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe this is something real. Then I
Speaker 1: started seeing how they were locking people inside their apartments.
Speaker 1: I mean they go out and drill a hole in
Speaker 1: the concrete right in front of their door and put
Speaker 1: an iron rod in it so you can't open the door.
Speaker 1: And then I saw the people who were falling down
Speaker 1: in the streets, young people, and it was obviously fake.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like watching a really bad actor in
Speaker 1: a movie trying to fall. It was almost comical, and
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, wait a minute, I know what this
Speaker 1: is about. This is looking like Dark Winter that they
Speaker 1: practiced two months before nine to eleven. So I cut
Speaker 1: on really early to the gag, but they were still
Speaker 1: able to lock everybody down and they so again that
Speaker 1: should really concern us about what is coming next, because
Speaker 1: they've not talked about there's been no accountability for anybody.
Speaker 1: They instead get together and talk about what they're going
Speaker 1: to do the next time. Next time, we're going to
Speaker 1: do it better. You know, we tried to do the
Speaker 1: best we could and we didn't get everybody locked down
Speaker 1: as soon as possible. We're going to do a much
Speaker 1: better job the next time. And so that really should
Speaker 1: concern us. But also the fever, the war fever that
Speaker 1: you see everywhere in the US as well as Europe.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants a world war. That's the other way that
Speaker 1: they get us under control.
Speaker 3: Yep. Again, you look at the facts. They destroy the
Speaker 3: global economy and then when I say, when all those
Speaker 3: sales they take you to war. And look at Germany.
Speaker 3: Germany is in a recession for two years, third largest country,
Speaker 3: third largest economy in the world, largest in Europe. Oh,
Speaker 3: our economy grew zero point three percent zero point two
Speaker 3: percent last year, a recession three years. They're spending a
Speaker 3: trillion dollars to build up their defense and the infrastructure
Speaker 3: can hold the tanks. All right, France, UK, one country
Speaker 3: after another building up their military. We have to fight
Speaker 3: those Russians. Yeah, they only killed twenty seven million of
Speaker 3: them in World War two, Right, I forgot that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And again this is serious what's going on? And now
Speaker 3: net Yahoo is in America telling Trump what to do.
Speaker 3: When are they're going to invade? If they If we
Speaker 3: go to war against Iran, it's going to be the
Speaker 3: beginning of the end of life on Earth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Iran is a nation of ninety one million people. They're
Speaker 3: very these are the Persians. They're very advanced scientifically, technologically,
Speaker 3: and militarily. Israel is a country is seven million people.
Speaker 3: You're not be good at man to figure this out. No,
Speaker 3: Israel says if they lose, if they feel like they're losing,
Speaker 3: they're going to implement the Samson Option s aMSN, which
Speaker 3: means they're going nuclear. Yeah, between two hundred to four
Speaker 3: hundred nuclear warheads.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And of course, uh, you know Trump is we
Speaker 1: kind of thought he was going to do it a
Speaker 1: little while ago, but he's still now talking about sending
Speaker 1: a second aircraft carrier group there. We've got information about
Speaker 1: one hundred and c seventeen planes, big cargo planes taking
Speaker 1: personnel and material at the same time. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: ramping this up big time. And I think one of
Speaker 1: the interesting things is he's believing his own press release.
Speaker 1: You know, he goes down to Venezuela and he kidnaps
Speaker 1: a guy. Now he thinks he can take on the world.
Speaker 1: You know, it's yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: Look what we're doing a Cuba. Look at the how
Speaker 3: the people are starving, or what the hell are the
Speaker 3: Cuba's ever done to us?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What are the Cubans ever done to America?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's amazing.
Speaker 3: I forgot Marco Rubio A little got this little clown boy,
Speaker 3: I forgot. I forgot. Oh who Trump made fun of
Speaker 3: back in twenty sixteen when he was running for president.
Speaker 3: Remember yeah, yeah, put his arms around a little Marco.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Now we are secretary of state. How about our secretary
Speaker 3: of crap?
Speaker 2: Well, Cuba.
Speaker 1: Gerald embarrassed us in the CIA with a bay of pigs,
Speaker 1: So we got to get even with them. They got
Speaker 1: to get that score settled. I mean, he still wound
Speaker 1: up keeping a military base there on their country. So
Speaker 1: how much of a threat could they actually be to us?
Speaker 1: As you point out? But they are an embarrassment to
Speaker 1: the US. And I know, I grew up in Florida.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of people there that
Speaker 1: hated Cuba because the Communists came in and stole their
Speaker 1: stuff and ran them out. You know, they had to
Speaker 1: leave where they're going to go to political prison. But
Speaker 1: so there were a lot of people that I knew,
Speaker 1: kids my age's parents came from Cuba and they really
Speaker 1: hated Cuba. But that's because they lost a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff there. But again, they're not a threat to us,
Speaker 1: as you point out, No there's none of my business. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're a threat to themselves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's none of my business.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Again, I launched occupied pieces. You know, you will kind
Speaker 3: of help you and your family coming up here to speak.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not my business. I'm an American. I
Speaker 3: believe in founding fathers like George Washington. Don't get involved
Speaker 3: in these foreign entanglements. This has been going off as
Speaker 3: centuries and it's none about.
Speaker 2: Business, that's right. That's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But here's the news, right, go to CNN. GU
Speaker 3: three mystery suspect released. I'm innocent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't even covered that this week.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, that's BBC police release. Man detained in connection
Speaker 3: to Nancy Guthrie disappears. This is the major news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is BBC telling us about this crime story
Speaker 1: in America. Yeah, it's a tragedy for their family, but
Speaker 1: it's not really relevant, is it.
Speaker 3: Person released after questioning as research as as search for
Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie continues CNN Nancy Guthrie case. Person released as
Speaker 3: search for quote armed individual end quote continues. ABC Reiters
Speaker 3: shadow video, shadowy video first known arrest mark breaks in
Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie abduction Reuters. All right, terrible, what happened? Yep?
Speaker 3: Oh how about Rob Ryan? I forgot about that one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the crop, this is the stuff. Oh oh,
Speaker 3: how many Palestinians they kill yesterday?
Speaker 2: That's right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, shut the hell up, you Auntie Semi. Will you
Speaker 3: kill all the Palestinians we want? Oh? How many people
Speaker 3: are killing a Lebanon yesterday? Two days ago? We could
Speaker 3: bomb anywhere we want, that's sure. None of this is news.
Speaker 3: None of this is news. This is how they get
Speaker 3: the people's minds off what's really going on. These are
Speaker 3: the headline stories.
Speaker 1: Or they brag about the fact that they just blew
Speaker 1: up a boat off the coast of Venezuela or something.
Speaker 1: I'm so sick and tired of saying that I don't
Speaker 1: even go to the bright Bart website anymore. They disgusting,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's always cheerleading this kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's like, are you kidding me? H? This is
Speaker 1: not This is not it's a moral it's illegal by
Speaker 1: every legal standard. What's being done now even violates the
Speaker 1: Pentagon's own rules.
Speaker 3: But how about Newsmax? How about all it was crap? Oh?
Speaker 3: How about MSNB or whatever they call it. Now you go, oh,
Speaker 3: this is what I like. I only listen to this. Oh,
Speaker 3: this is what I like. I only listen to that.
Speaker 3: My mind is that big. Yeah, that's right again, this
Speaker 3: is the stuff I just read you the headlines as
Speaker 3: the world is going to crap in front of our eyes.
Speaker 3: This is what this. Hey to tell a swift get
Speaker 3: laid last night? I forgot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your headline there about Germany. Germany has lost more
Speaker 1: than a trillion dollars in GDP output since the COVID War.
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of German disapprove of Fred Mertz. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard to sell. I love Lucy reruns there, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to have some splaining to do.
Speaker 2: I think as to what they did.
Speaker 3: This is the propaganda. Yeah, this is from the Hill,
Speaker 3: right headline, search for Savannah Guthrie's mother captivates an a
Speaker 3: long nation. The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the eighty four
Speaker 3: year old mother of Today's show host anchors Savannah Guthrie,
Speaker 3: has left much of the country on edge. We're on edge, right,
Speaker 3: We're all on edge about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's right. I checked my news all the time.
Speaker 1: There there's an update.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If somebody kills your brother, sister and uncle Fred, who cares.
Speaker 3: Hey you're nobody. Here's a little guinea from the Bronx.
Speaker 3: Shut the hell up. All right, Hey, I'm a celebrity.
Speaker 3: I'm a celebrity. Oh I can.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that reminds me of you know, dead, I'm dead, you.
Speaker 3: Go to Hellslet I'm dead, hop up in heaven. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: rob Ryan and went to heaven. That's writ in a
Speaker 3: good book. I just forgot. We'll make up any crap
Speaker 3: we want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking about how people don't care when it
Speaker 1: happens to ordinary people. I think of Trump and his
Speaker 1: massive lawsuits. You see, he's got yet another one another.
Speaker 1: This one's only five billion. You know he's got I looked,
Speaker 1: I told it up. He's got all these different lawsuits,
Speaker 1: you know, BBC Wall Street journaling ten billion here, ten
Speaker 1: billion there, He's got another one for fifteen billion. All together,
Speaker 1: he's got fifty billion dollars in lawsuits. Gerald's absolutely amazing,
Speaker 1: and you know he's upset, and rightfully so. They leaked
Speaker 1: some of his information. I'm talking about this yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did it to Ken Griffin, who had a net
Speaker 1: worth of thirty billion dollars and they leaked his information.
Speaker 1: He sued him, but not for a lot of money.
Speaker 1: He just wanted a retraction. He wanted some other things
Speaker 1: to have happened. Trump is out there to line his
Speaker 1: pockets with this stuff, and as president he has the
Speaker 1: authority to do something about it. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: the leak from the IRS happened while he was president.
Speaker 1: But you know, if they go on to mar Lago
Speaker 1: and do a search there, he's going to sue him,
Speaker 1: and he's going to write a check for himself, and
Speaker 1: he's going to tell the Department of Justice not to
Speaker 1: push back against his lawsuit. Just set this one out.
Speaker 1: I'm going to write a check to myself for billions
Speaker 1: of dollars. This is a guy who had his entire
Speaker 1: family's net worth was like three billion dollars and for
Speaker 1: each one of these things, he wants ten billion dollars.
Speaker 1: What a crook. Just amazing to me. And he doesn't
Speaker 1: fix anything, He just wants compensation for himself.
Speaker 3: Oh no, we had listen to him. He just said
Speaker 3: we had on his administration, we had the best economy
Speaker 3: and history of Americas the words to that effect.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, right, well, it's kind of what we've seen.
Speaker 1: You know, we knew that the terrorists were attacked. Everybody's
Speaker 1: known it's attacks. If you raise the costs to businesses,
Speaker 1: they have to pass out on. Eventually they may try
Speaker 1: to swallow it for a while. But now you had
Speaker 1: some studies come out saying it was about one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars per person for this last year, and for next
Speaker 1: year it will be about thirteen hundred dollars per person.
Speaker 1: And he's again he doesn't care at all about America.
Speaker 1: It's just him and his friends. Just take a look
Speaker 1: at what happened with the soybean farmers, right, he comes
Speaker 1: after China and they'd already done it in his first administration,
Speaker 1: retaliated against the farmers by not buying their product. So
Speaker 1: what was his response. He's going to help out his
Speaker 1: friend Javier Malay and Argentina going to give him twenty
Speaker 1: billion dollars, going to range another twenty billion dollars in
Speaker 1: loan for him. And so the other people say, hey,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what about us, Well, we'll give you twelve,
Speaker 1: but not yet. And so he announced that he was
Speaker 1: going to do it, and then he didn't do anything
Speaker 1: about it. Then they announced it again in December. They
Speaker 1: still haven't done anything to help the people that are
Speaker 1: bearing the brunt of his trade policies that are there.
Speaker 1: And did you see what Mike Johnson is doing about
Speaker 1: the tariff stuff. He's saying that he's going to shut
Speaker 1: down any bills from Congress that try to take back
Speaker 1: the power to tax from the president who usurped it.
Speaker 1: And he said, well, we're not going to count any
Speaker 1: of the days. Basically, they're just going to ignore all
Speaker 1: the days between February the tenth and the end of
Speaker 1: July and say those days don't exist. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: the most absurd thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I can't even figure out what the supposed rationale for
Speaker 1: that is or how that even works. But he's now
Speaker 1: denying that the that the earth is going to turn
Speaker 1: for the next six months or so. It's the extent
Speaker 1: that these guys will go to for whatever agenda that
Speaker 1: Trump wants is beyond belief.
Speaker 3: There's a freak show.
Speaker 2: It is amazing the.
Speaker 3: Freaks are run on his show. Yeah, yeah, there's a gallipole.
Speaker 3: American Optimism slumpster record low right. Yeah, again, it's it's, it's,
Speaker 3: it's it's. This thing is very serious. What's going on again?
Speaker 3: You're talking about the AI. This is so important. Again,
Speaker 3: they're way over investing in this stuff. They're going deep
Speaker 3: in debt.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: By the way, you're seeing a lot of investments leaving
Speaker 3: the country and going into Asian markets.
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, I saw that on a trans
Speaker 1: journal that they're telling people stay out of the dollar,
Speaker 1: you know, avoid the dollar at all costs. So what
Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen with gold, gold
Speaker 1: and silver. Oh, it's gonna another big year for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could see it last year. I had forecast
Speaker 3: that gold would hit five thousand dollars an ounce by
Speaker 3: the end of twenty twenty five. I was twenty three
Speaker 3: days off. It hit five thousand dollars an ounce on
Speaker 3: January twenty third. JP Morgan Chase said gold will hit
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars an ounce by the fourth quarter twenty
Speaker 3: twenty s Yeah, so don't listen to me, listen to
Speaker 3: JP Morgan.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the death of the dollar. Yeah, we're at
Speaker 3: thirty eight trillion dollars in debt. It's going toward thirty
Speaker 3: nine trillion. I think by the middle of next month. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 3: thirty eight trillion.
Speaker 1: I looked at the rate they're accumulating it, and assuming
Speaker 1: that there's not some new program from Trump, which is
Speaker 1: not a good assumption and probably will be between now
Speaker 1: and that, well forty by September forty trillion dollars in
Speaker 1: debt by.
Speaker 3: So they're going to do everything they can to lower
Speaker 3: interest rates because the interest that they have to pay
Speaker 3: on this debt with high interest rates is making a
Speaker 3: bad situation terrible. And by the way, when you put
Speaker 3: in social security and other government expenditures, it's way over
Speaker 3: that number. Oh yeah, they say it's over one hundred trillion.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The world has had enough of America's geopolitical and economic hegemony.
Speaker 3: The death of the dollar is before us. So again,
Speaker 3: when they lower interest rates, the deeper the dollar falls.
Speaker 3: The deeper the dollar falls, the higher goal prices rise. Now,
Speaker 3: let's go back to two weeks ago, a week and
Speaker 3: a half ago, when they announced they were going to
Speaker 3: bring this sky warship.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he married the heiress of the st later fortune.
Speaker 1: I joked, I said, yeah, they're going to try to
Speaker 1: put lipstick on a pig here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and what was the news. The reason why this
Speaker 3: silver and gold went down so sharply was because he's
Speaker 3: not going to lower interest rates.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Well, again, we only put the facts in the magazine,
Speaker 3: and we had put in one quote after another how
Speaker 3: Trump liked him because he's going to lower interest rates.
Speaker 3: And now he said interest rates are basically too high
Speaker 3: words to that effect. Don't want to be sued. So
Speaker 3: he's very he's going to lower interest rates. He doesn't
Speaker 3: get in until May if they confirm him in the Senate,
Speaker 3: but they're going to lower interest rates. Again, they're going
Speaker 3: to do everything they can to prop up the dollar.
Speaker 3: By the way, the numbers came out for new job
Speaker 3: they came they said one hundred and thirty thousand jobs
Speaker 3: were created. It's a lot of bologny. They keep reducing
Speaker 3: these numbers every time they come out with new numbers.
Speaker 3: So the numbers are way too high. They didn't create
Speaker 3: all that jobs. Because you go into the magazine and
Speaker 3: you look at all the failures of job numbers that
Speaker 3: came out over the last couple of weeks. They're terrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for administration after administration, they all do that
Speaker 1: in terms of the numbers. They put out numbers that
Speaker 1: make this quarter look really good, and then they revised
Speaker 1: them the next quarter to make that quarter look good
Speaker 1: and say, oh, yeah, we're lying to it. Really wasn't
Speaker 1: that good when we did it last quarter. They do
Speaker 1: that with inflation. They do that with jobs especially that's
Speaker 1: been there for the longest time. I remember when Obama
Speaker 1: said jobs that were saved, included that in there, you know,
Speaker 1: jobs that were created or saved. It's like, how do
Speaker 1: you measure jobs that were saved? And how do you
Speaker 1: take credit for something like that as a president? It
Speaker 1: just doesn't you know, all that stuff is blowney oh yeah,
Speaker 1: press releases.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, look at the numbers that came out on retail
Speaker 3: sales for December, the holiday season. Santa Claus didn't come
Speaker 3: to town. They were terrible. They were flat, and then
Speaker 3: when you put inflation into it, they're actually declined. But
Speaker 3: they don't talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the people go to the top ten percent of
Speaker 3: Americans are responsible for fifty percent of the spending, about
Speaker 3: forty nine point eight percent ten percent. Again, so when
Speaker 3: you're looking at it, the retail sales were not flat,
Speaker 3: they were down. So you're to and this is very important.
Speaker 3: The jobs are being created. They're in social services. They're
Speaker 3: low paying jobs, hospitality sectors. They're not high paying jobs.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Again, when you look at the numbers, and here's the
Speaker 3: other number, you're ready. Yesterday, the Federal Reserve credit card
Speaker 3: balances hit a new high in the fourth quarter, rising
Speaker 3: forty eight forty four billion dollars ready one point two
Speaker 3: eight trillion dollars, and house sold debt increased five point
Speaker 3: five percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Well, you know Trump's going to fix
Speaker 1: all that. He's going to put a moratorium on high
Speaker 1: credit card fees for a year.
Speaker 2: You know, I like that. I can do better than that.
Speaker 1: If I just want to move my if I've got
Speaker 1: a balance, I can move it to another credit card company.
Speaker 2: They'll give me one year for no.
Speaker 1: Interest or something, you know, and some of these things
Speaker 1: if you want to move that way. But what a
Speaker 1: joke that is. It's a combination of uh, demagoguery and
Speaker 1: democrat economics, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Well look at the cover of the magazine.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm hmm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pulled it up, so I really got a big ego.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, see, if you can pull that up Travis
Speaker 1: Fisher show. They can cover there, So yeah, absolutely, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: I'd be a big ego again. You know, as I
Speaker 3: told you, I used to. I taught close combat for
Speaker 3: many years. And my close combat teacher mister John Perkins,
Speaker 3: who was the student of Bradley Stein, who is the
Speaker 3: top close combat guy in America, who used to write
Speaker 3: for the trans Journal magazine. May they both rest in peace.
Speaker 3: The first thing you learned in close combat the only
Speaker 3: time the ego gets into places when your life is
Speaker 3: on the line. That's the only time you have an ego.
Speaker 3: Don't mess with me. Yeah, Trump rags about his ego.
Speaker 3: Look at all. Anybody google up what having a big
Speaker 3: ego means. It's all negative. Yeah, it's all negative. You
Speaker 3: don't brag about having a big ego. It's a decline
Speaker 3: of your mind. Yeah, Hey, I'm better than you. You're nobody.
Speaker 3: You're right, don't you know why you am? My dad
Speaker 3: he left me a half a billion dollars in real
Speaker 3: estate when he died. Or right, I'm Donald Trump. I'm
Speaker 3: a spoiler, little witch kid. You're nobody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about how the geeks in here at
Speaker 1: the Earth. I say, you know when you look at
Speaker 1: Trump's politics, it's not geopolitics, it's ego politics.
Speaker 2: That's a couple of letters around, right.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said something I didn't like. I'm going to
Speaker 1: put one hundred percent terrorists on Canada tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So there's no politics. That's great. That's a good one.
Speaker 3: That's perfect. Yeah, it's not yeah, ego politics. And again
Speaker 3: what this is what he's doing with this ice and
Speaker 3: how these guys in there there.
Speaker 2: It discussed me terrible.
Speaker 3: Dressed up in this military with these masks, with these
Speaker 3: guns and weapons, and what's happened to this country?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and wearing camo in the city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that about? That's stupid. But what is really
Speaker 2: bad was the uh.
Speaker 1: I read anop at piece to the audience from a
Speaker 1: guy who is a retired marine and he said, look
Speaker 1: at the firepower these guys who got and you know,
Speaker 1: there's like eight guys and there's one little black lady
Speaker 1: who's opened up the door to them, and they're all
Speaker 1: pointing their weapons at and yeah, it's crazy when you
Speaker 1: look at this kind of stuff, It's like, what is
Speaker 1: going on in this country? But we know what it is.
Speaker 1: He wants to have a conflict. He wants to have
Speaker 1: a civil war, and he wants to weaponize and militarize
Speaker 1: the police and use the military ass police. This is
Speaker 1: part of the control. I mean, it's just a continuum
Speaker 1: of taking us to war, of doing the COVID war,
Speaker 1: the COVID lockdown, all these tutalitarian policies. This is why
Speaker 1: I said, you know, we fought this battle. I just
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it at Info Wars. I mean, we covered
Speaker 1: the militarization of the police for the longest time, and
Speaker 1: then when it actually starts rolling out, now Alex is
Speaker 1: cheering it.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I know, it's crazy. What's happening?
Speaker 3: Well, you just sell out? Yeah, yeah, I just did it.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a going up tonight. I did
Speaker 3: an interview with Judge Andrew Nopolitano, and he has the
Speaker 3: articles in the Trends Journal the coming Constitutional ice age
Speaker 3: list fall. During the opening the United Nations in New
Speaker 3: York City, I recognized the face of the federal officer
Speaker 3: from his days working in law enforcement in New Jersey
Speaker 3: and mine as a trial judge. We chatted and I
Speaker 3: asked him what he was doing. He told me he
Speaker 3: worked for the Immigration and Custom Enforcement ICE. I asked
Speaker 3: what ICE has to do with the UN and he
Speaker 3: told me ICE will be everywhere. When I asked if
Speaker 3: ICE becomes a paramilitary force answerable to the White House,
Speaker 3: he just smiled as if to say, don't quote me.
Speaker 3: When I asked him why he was carrying two handguns
Speaker 3: and in AK forty seven automatic rifle, he laughed and said, quote,
Speaker 3: I have more than you can see. Judge.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow.
Speaker 1: You know they're putting ICE agents in first these Olympic Games,
Speaker 1: and they had a big pushback in Italy against that thing.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like, get them out of here. Why
Speaker 1: are they They're like a praetorian guard.
Speaker 3: What they did to that guy Petrie? They shot them
Speaker 3: in the back how many times?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got guys on them, thrown them to the ground,
Speaker 3: and they lie about it. They lie about what happened.
Speaker 3: They lie about what they did with that woman. Good
Speaker 3: because of all the videos that came out and now
Speaker 3: they're arresting people doing nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what Travis just put up on the screen.
Speaker 1: He says, I said the Winter Olympics. He said, well,
Speaker 1: it is the Winter Olympics. I would expect the Farner
Speaker 1: sending eyes right, But it truly is insane, and it
Speaker 1: truly is the federal police that we've always worried about.
Speaker 1: And I'm seeing so many conservatives who used to major
Speaker 1: on that, you know, talk about we had to support
Speaker 1: the local law enforcement against the trend to centralized control
Speaker 1: and centralized law enforcement unconstitutionally in Washington. And they're just
Speaker 1: silent about it because nobody wants to criticize Trump. You
Speaker 1: criticize Trump, you get fired. You criticize Trump, you lose
Speaker 1: your audience. So everybody's just silent about it. If they
Speaker 1: talk about it at all, they won't mention his name.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like this is something that's happening that
Speaker 1: doesn't involve him at all, when he's the guy who's
Speaker 1: running at all. That's the amazing thing about this, truly amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: it's always great talking to you, Gerald, and we're just
Speaker 1: about out of time here, and just remind everybody that
Speaker 1: you can get the excellent Trends journal of these are
Speaker 1: you know, everything we've been talking about here is covered
Speaker 1: and more. Of course, it's a huge publication weekly now
Speaker 1: and with the discount, I forget what it comes to.
Speaker 1: But with a ten percent discount with the code night,
Speaker 1: you get it for a very very small amount of money.
Speaker 1: As Gerald always points out, contrasts it with the No News,
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
Speaker 2: They don't really have anything.
Speaker 1: But you can keep up with the latest kidnapping story
Speaker 1: if you go there while these guys are kidnapping our country.
Speaker 2: That truly is amazing.
Speaker 1: At gunpoint, I would add as well, we got mass
Speaker 1: men who are kidnapping this eighty four, your old lady.
Speaker 1: But meanwhile we got mass men who are kidnapping the
Speaker 1: country everywhere, and nobody wants to talk about that, right,
Speaker 1: So thank you for joining us, Jerrold, and thank you
Speaker 1: everyone for joining us.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank you.
Speaker 1: The common man. They created common Core and dumbed down
Speaker 1: our children. They created common past track and control us.
Speaker 1: They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
Speaker 1: and the communist future. They see the common man as simple,
Speaker 1: unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity
Speaker 1: created in the image of God. That is what we
Speaker 1: have in common. That is what they want.
Speaker 2: To take away.
Speaker 1: The most powerful way things are isolation, deception, intimidation. They
Speaker 1: desire to know everything about us, while they hide everything
Speaker 1: from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
Speaker 1: what they want to hide. Please share the information and
