- 0:59I'm your host Lutz and Financial Survival now more than ever. What you're about
- 1:03to hear kind of shocking, but not surprising. We've got Gerald Celente on
- 1:08from Trends Journal. Jerald, it's great to have you back. We were
- 1:11talking pre call your area north of the city by I guess about sixty seventy
- 1:18miles. Basically, the last person who leaves New York City who's a citizen
- 1:23should turn off the lights. Right. Yeah, Now it's a whole different
- 1:27New York City. Again, you look at the data, go to Castle
- 1:32Systems of the k you do. Your occupancy rate in the top ten cities
- 1:36in America is forty nine percent occupancy. Your vacancy rate is over twenty percent
- 1:44vacant vacant buildings. So you look. Also, you go to the city.
- 1:49You know, I'm a you know a guy you grew up in the
- 1:53Bronx and you know the Bronx grew up in Yonkers. You know the city
- 1:57guy. You know I lived in the city. All different. Well,
- 2:00it's your foot traffic in New York City. Again, the data, our
- 2:06data is down over thirty three percent. So now all the businesses that depended
- 2:10on commuters are going out of business. The shoemakers, the air stylists,
- 2:15the restaurants, all that boom after the COVID thing, it's all dying now.
- 2:20People can't afford the prices and it's all different vibes. So that moving
- 2:23up here, a lot of people with they see kids and carriages, you
- 2:27know, strollers that never saw before. A lot of young people between the
- 2:30ages a mid twenties to late thirties flooding out of the city because the night
- 2:37life is gone, crimes on their rise, ain't a great place to be.
- 2:40And this is happening around the country. So now let's go to what
- 2:45no one is talking about in the major media, and if they do talk
- 2:47about it, it comes and goes really quick. That we've been wanting about
- 2:52now since they launched the COVID war. Chinese looted New Year, the year
- 2:57of the rat twenty twenty January office building bust. How are the owners of
- 3:02these buildings going to pay their mortgages? Yeah, they're not. They're already
- 3:09defaulting on them. You're going to see a banking bust that no one in
- 3:14the major media is talking about that we have warned about now for going off
- 3:17for three years is about one point two trillion dollars worth of commercial loans coming
- 3:23up. They're not going to be able to pay them. People. What
- 3:25if I'm a tenant. If I'm a tenant in a building and the people
- 3:30don't want to come back to work, because what happened was when the clowns
- 3:32made people stay. You can't go to work, get back in your house.
- 3:37People are now saying to themselves as they're staying a week after week,
- 3:39month after month, year after year. Holy Christ, I'm getting up at
- 3:44five o'clock in the morning to commute an hour and a half each way.
- 3:47What am I out of my mind doing this? I'm not doing it anymore.
- 3:51Oh. By the way, it was costing me a lot of dough
- 3:53to do this. I'm not going to do it any thousands of dollars a
- 3:55month I used to that's right, two thousand bucks a month commuting in with
- 4:00parking, and that was fifteen years ago. I haven't done it since eight
- 4:05Thank god, I'm out of New York. But commuting is extremely expensive.
- 4:11Hey, all the subway lines, the commuter, commuter railroads, all of
- 4:15them are going bus too. Yep. Oh, and all of the bus
- 4:19companies that have gone on. You know. So now let's think, Oh,
- 4:24you're talking about the subways. How about a night in Calcutta? All
- 4:29right, that's what the subways are like. So now let's say I'm a
- 4:32guy that has ten stories in one of the buildings. They said, listen,
- 4:35stay home, come in two days a week. I don't need all
- 4:39this office space. I'll save myself a lot of money. You're going to
- 4:42see a banking crisis the likes of which we've never seen before, that no
- 4:46one is talking about because they don't want to freak the people out, because
- 4:49they want them to keep playing the markets on the street and they want to
- 4:51keep thinking that everything's going to be okay. So that's one of the big
- 4:56busts that are going to happen. And again we had said when interest rates
- 5:00will weigh up. No, there's not going to be a real estate crisis
- 5:03in the housing market because the people that are buying the houses now are very
- 5:08different than one back in the two thousands. We add these things called subprime
- 5:12mortgages. Hey, you don't have a job, you don't have any money,
- 5:15you broke, you're deep in debt. Don't worry about it. Yes,
- 5:17sign over it, Ninja lines, I'm a banks to gangster, and
- 5:21when we go bust, don't worry about it. We're too big to fail
- 5:25to bail us out. Exactly. So that's one trend. Obviously, the
- 5:29banking bust, the real estate bust. But these cities basically serve no function
- 5:35any longer. Gerald were cultural centers, trade centers, and now people can't
- 5:41wait to get out of them. Yep, cultural centers. You know,
- 5:45I'm a big jazz fan. I love the old stuff. And you know
- 5:48you listen to these these cats, you know, singing about the Savoy boy.
- 5:54You know the Savoy up in Harlem, in Halem, you know the
- 6:00forty second Street. You know bob bumb bump ye. Yet one song after
- 6:04another, Jar's place is all over hot, no more, all gone.
- 6:10Now it's one bed rap. Everything is crap again, the filthy streets.
- 6:15Oh but by the way, don't worry about it. We got to send
- 6:19more money to keep to keep the military industrial complex going, keep the wars
- 6:25going. As the country rots in front of our orions, as almost fill
- 6:30the streets. Migrants are everywhere, and crime is just another day of life.
- 6:34Look before the COVID War, they weren't locking up stuff in CDs and
- 6:41walgreens because people were stealing everything. They weren't breaking into nord stream and gangs
- 6:46of people and stealing stuff. This is all very new, and it's against
- 6:51It all happened because of the COVID War. The damage the COVID War has
- 6:56been caused is incalculable, and not only in It and Ida States, particularly
- 7:00the country that started it. On that celebration through their Chinese lunar New Year
- 7:05of the Year of the Rat, China, look at dinner collapsing. They're
- 7:10collapsing before our very eyes. I mean, Jerald, did I have a
- 7:14question for you? You know, you watch these videos to food dreg construction.
- 7:18You're familiar with that term, Like everything in China is literally falling apart,
- 7:24sometimes days after it's finished. Did you have any idea that that was
- 7:28taking place there? No? No, I mean no. So they're the
- 7:33ones that launched the COVID War and three years of zero COVID policy. They
- 7:39destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people. Yes they did,
- 7:43and we get reproach from people in China that are saying how terrible things
- 7:47are. So now let's go back. You look at China's GDP numbers,
- 7:54like nineteen seventy to two thousand and one, they were like this. Then
- 8:00that slime ball, murderer's piece of crap, Bill Clinton, who got every
- 8:05time he got caught with his pants down. It's bombs away over bad dad.
- 8:09Let's do the Yugoslav War one after another. He brought China. Not
- 8:13only did he give us what was that one way that we took our jobs
- 8:18NAFTA, which stole our jobs and brought him to cheap labor in China.
- 8:24He brought China into the World Trade Organization. When China came into the World
- 8:28Trade Organization two thousand and one to two thy and nineteen, before the COVID
- 8:33War, the GDP skyrocketing. They overbuilt the place. Like when there's all
- 8:39booms, you're overbuilt. Everybody wants to make money, right, So now
- 8:46it was overbuilt before, and now the COVID War locking it down. They
- 8:52are in a real estate bust the likes of which have never been seen in
- 8:58modern history. It was way over built to begin with, and then the
- 9:03COVID War made a bad situation worse again. In the Trends Journal, we
- 9:07only put in the data. Look at China's export numbersoo going way down.
- 9:15Look at China's import numbers boop, going way down. Look at their manufacturing
- 9:20numbers going way down. Oh, not only in China, in Europe.
- 9:26In the United States PMI manufacturing numbers. The PPI manufacturing numbers. PMI numbers
- 9:33are all down, So that means they're building producing lest which means consumers are
- 9:41going to buy less. Yep. Yeah, well that's what they want evidently.
- 9:46So what about this thing of like pairing down the population? Is that
- 9:50real? I don't know. But again, you know, you look at
- 9:54the population. Look at the numbers. Okay, let's go back one hundred
- 9:58years ago, there were basically two billion people on the planet. One hundred
- 10:03years later, you got eight billion. Is that a lot of people?
- 10:09A lot? Yeah? Sounds unsustainable? It is. You know my one
- 10:13of my books, well at Sidzy gave Honeyboy Sissey's the Italian name for Anti
- 10:18Zia's Ante Dizzy's honey Boy. Gizzy is Anti. Hey, She's to say
- 10:24to me, may she rest in peace? Gerald? There were too many
- 10:28people on the planet here are I mean? So? I mean, so
- 10:35what is China? Have you look at China again? You look at their
- 10:37numbers. They got one point four billion people. They need more people.
- 10:43So anyway, I don't think it was done for that. I think it's
- 10:46done for power and control. Yeah. I tend to agree with you,
- 10:52but I don't think they'd mind us. But population declines, like now we
- 10:56knew China had one hundred million left people than they said, which further increased
- 11:03the overbuilding. Uh oh yeah, crash. So declining populations aren't good either,
- 11:09right, No, they're not good for the economy, you know.
- 11:13But again, this thing is going to go down big. We're gonna we're
- 11:16gonna go We're gonna be facing a economic crisis the likes of which have never
- 11:20been seen in modern history. And again look at what they did again during
- 11:24the Covid War. Yeah, the market should have crashed, the economy should
- 11:30have crashed. No, no, screw you, we got it. We
- 11:31got a deal, obit. We're going to give you zero interest rates,
- 11:35borrow anything that you want. What could go wrong? Yeah, and we're
- 11:39gonna pump in trillions and jillions of dollars. Stay a hoone, don't worry
- 11:41about his money. Yeah, I mean, you can't make this crap up.
- 11:46So they created this bubble. What is it? The American debt now?
- 11:48Almost thirty four trillion dollars, that's what they admit to. But I
- 11:52think we agree it's probably a lot higher, not even right, including unfunded
- 11:58mandates. Right, we don't even know. Yeah, the numbers, some
- 12:01of the numbers are as high as two hundred trillion. Yeah, yeah,
- 12:05idea, right, So how they're gonna They're not gonna pay it off.
- 12:07So here's the what we're saying, and we've been saying this for a while
- 12:11now, gold, golden, bitcoin, hm, oh, gold. It's
- 12:15very simple. This isn't rocket science. The only reason gold prices didn't go
- 12:20up higher is because interest rates went up very high and the dollar got strong
- 12:26h as they lower interest rates. Since we had forecasts going back a year
- 12:31that they're going to lower interest rates in twenty twenty four, they do it
- 12:35all the time in the run up to the presidential reality show. That's all
- 12:39it is. It's a reality show. Look at Nikky Alley, Mickey Mouse,
- 12:45Donald Duck. I mean it, look at the clowns running. Yeah,
- 12:48it's the clown Yeah. So who is our Treasury secretary Janet Yelling?
- 12:54Yeah? What was the last job fine, head of the Federal Reserve.
- 12:58Yeah, ahead of the Federal Reserves, out with Treasury secretary. Yeah.
- 13:03Yeah. So they're running the country because they're running the money and you're going
- 13:07to keep it in powers that are going to lower interest rates. The lower
- 13:11interest rates go, the lower the dollar forms. The lower the dollar falls,
- 13:13the higher gold and bitcoin prices go up. That's the way we see
- 13:18it. So which is better, Which is a better buy for the future
- 13:22of bitcoin or gold? Bitcoin is a gamble, but the prices we think
- 13:26are going to go up higher in terms of percentage wise than gold. So
- 13:31I dies every Monday, I buy some bitcoin a little bit every Monday.
- 13:37Good see you. Yeah, and I've been doing that for a while.
- 13:41I sold some off, but I always go back in. You know,
- 13:43if I see a trading opportunity, sell it off, then come back in,
- 13:48buying the same amount every every Monday, and increasing the buys over time.
- 13:54You know. You look, what if bitcoin wasn't and around gold prices
- 14:00would be double their price. Yeah, I would think, yeah, and
- 14:03you go take a place like Argentina. We have inflation at one hundred and
- 14:07forty percent. People are buying bitcoin. They're not buying goal, they're buying
- 14:11bitcoin. They can buy like you said, they buy a little bit of
- 14:15a time. They don't want to lose their currency. See, they're buying
- 14:16bitcoin, and that's going on around the world. The only thing that we
- 14:20see killing bitcoin is if the governments kill it, right, they could theoretically
- 14:26do it too. Yep, it could do it because they can shut down
- 14:28those nodes. If you know they can't, but look, they could do
- 14:33it. It would be a worldwide concerted effort to shut down every bitcoin node.
- 14:37And then if you couldn't get a price on bitcoin for even forty eight
- 14:41hours, I used to say seventy two, but I think if there was
- 14:45no trading in bitcoin for forty eight that would be the end of it.
- 14:48Yep, No, it would really hurt it. So anyway, Gold is
- 14:50out to me that we don't give financial advice in the Trends Journal. Sure,
- 14:56we tell you what the world is going on, it's going to go
- 15:00on, and we always we we give what is being reported so you know
- 15:05we're not skewing it, and then we get our trends analysis and trend forecasts.
- 15:11So to me, three things Gold, Bitcoin, and real estate.
- 15:16On the real going back to the real estate market, we said that when
- 15:20interest rates score up, there's not going to be a commercial There's going to
- 15:22be a commercial real estate crash, but not a residential crash. Again,
- 15:26because it's different than what happened with the Panic of eight when subprime mortgages.
- 15:33They're still selling it here in Florida too. It skills me. Real estate
- 15:37is still going even with the high rates. Yes, selling in Florida.
- 15:41So prices may come down a little bit when when mortgage rates go down and
- 15:46there is more supply, but it's not going to be a crash. And
- 15:50so there's going to be a time. We don't think the time is right
- 15:54now to buy real estate again, and so real estate is a long play.
- 16:00And those are our three things. And then now we have to look
- 16:03at what's going on in the in the consumer market, and you're looking at
- 16:07holiday sales, they're not going to be strong. And after the new year,
- 16:14we believe that the markets are going to go down again. As a
- 16:17matter of fact, we believe they're going to go down in December as well.
- 16:19So no Christmas ball, huh, No, No that an Yellow's market,
- 16:25no Santa Claus market. We don't see it happening now. And again
- 16:30we have these other things going on called the middle one of our top trends
- 16:36twenty twenty three, they said for everybody to look at called it at the
- 16:38beginning of the year, Middle East meltdown. Mm hmm. She said this
- 16:42was going to people forget what was going on over there. And this guy
- 16:48Netanya, by the way, his popularity rating is like in single digits.
- 16:52And and there were thirty nine weeks of protests going on before Hamas did this
- 16:59attack going on over it thirty nine weeks people Israel. He is taking to
- 17:03the streets against Obama, against Obama, against n Yah was judiciary fraumat,
- 17:10Yeah, I remember, right, And they exposedly knew about this attack for
- 17:15over a year. That's right, Pearl Harbor, you know. And terrorism
- 17:21again, we said it when all else fails, they take you to war.
- 17:27So they let it happen. And now they took the country to war.
- 17:33And by the way, Nan Yaho is being brought up on those corruption
- 17:37charges too, that get back to the court. You know, it's a
- 17:38crime syndicate that it's running countries around the world. A government is a crime
- 17:44syndicate. Yeah, the murders and thieves. Yeah, and that's the good
- 17:48ones. Yeah, the other ones are really bad. So gold Bitcoin Residential
- 17:56real estate looktion is important. You want to be out of heavily urbanized areas
- 18:04obviously, but exurbs, suburbs, rural. Is that the markets you look
- 18:10for. Yeah, absolutely, And and again, as this war mentality keeps
- 18:15increasing, more and more people are going to want to get out of the
- 18:18cities. Yeah. And so the big cities are going to go bust.
- 18:22And by the way, they are already, they are already. And now
- 18:26they've got a lot of tax a lot less tax revenue coming in because of
- 18:30all the vacancies and occupancy rates going way down. So you're going to see
- 18:34crime rates increase. It's going to be terrible. It's going to again dopiumy
- 18:41mad max. So well, I guess you could look and say one good
- 18:45thing the Supreme Court did it isn't it's still a work in progress. Is
- 18:49reinforcing reaffirming the Second Amendment because it looks like we're going to need it more
- 18:56than ever. Coming up, Well, there's gcs G three gs, yeah,
- 19:00gons God and scolded a getaway plan four gs. Don't forget God.
- 19:07So it's part of the plan. Yeah, Well they get away. You
- 19:12know, you be getting away again. I love these ads that they rut
- 19:17it ay keep put what to do in case there's a nuclear attack? How
- 19:21about bed dovery because you asked the black nothing nothing. Yeah, you'd want
- 19:25to live in that bottle you've been holding for a special event. It's time
- 19:30because you're not going to get the opportunity to drink it again, right.
- 19:34Yeah. Well, you know, like your attitude I'm detecting from you,
- 19:38Gerald is like you were fighting this and fighting it and now there's a bit
- 19:42of resignation here. Yeah. Well, you know, I launched Occupy Peace.
- 19:47I do everything I can. You know, I don't just talk about
- 19:48it. I put my money where my heart is, and I'm very concerned
- 19:52about what's going on. And if this war escalates, it is real and
- 19:56they get a ron Lebanon and into it, that's the beginning of the end.
- 20:02By the way, oil prices as we're talking, Brent crossing seventy five
- 20:07dollars a barrel. I know wt I is at seventy Yeah, it's nuts.
- 20:11Yeah, if this war escalates, you're going to see oil prices go
- 20:15to like one hundred and thirty dollars a barrel. Just the economies and equity
- 20:21walkets goodbye. One hundred dollars a barrel. Oil is guaranteed major recession global
- 20:26because the world cannot run one hundred dollars barrel oil. At this point,
- 20:30it leads to immediate contraction, immediate layoffs. Costs just go way too high.
- 20:37Well, at least one good thing, you know, I don't think
- 20:41the urbanization trend was really a very positive trend. It was in the earlier
- 20:47part of the twentieth century up to the middle but then urbanization went a muck
- 20:53a muck and it's been a destructive force, not just in the United States
- 20:57but globally in ninety countries. So deurbanization might very well be one of the
- 21:04good things to come out of this. Gerald, you're one hundred percent right,
- 21:07and you you you know the numbers that you said, the dates are
- 21:11perfect again. You're what You're a guy that grew up in Brooklyn, right,
- 21:15oh, in New Jersey, But my heart was always in New York.
- 21:18Well anyway, you know, New York was a cool place. Yeah,
- 21:22and then and all these other cities, and then they put up these
- 21:26stupid ugly buildings, over built, took out all the glamor, all the
- 21:32beauty, putting up this ugly steeled and glass crap. And by the way,
- 21:37all the politicians that are spewing out the bs that well, we're going
- 21:42to turn these empty buildings into apartments. You care full of polony. You
- 21:47can't know the buildings built in the last fifty years a non convertible, No,
- 21:52absolutely cannot. But the earlier ones, like I was in a building
- 21:55in downtown and that got converted and they were magnificent. And the units because
- 22:00the elevator, the distance from the elevator core kind of determines the ability to
- 22:07convert, you know what I think. And we both remember this. When
- 22:11they tore down Penn Station YEP in New York City, I think that was
- 22:17the end of cities globally because there was just no respect for the past and
- 22:25everything became disposable for the right price, and you know, it just was
- 22:30never the same after that. New York and look at it, look at
- 22:36look at look at the train system. And I just went down to Philadelphia
- 22:40took to Amtrak. What a joke, am crash? Yeah, am trash.
- 22:44Well, Well, put you go to Europe, go to shiny,
- 22:47go to Japan. In Malorida. In Florida, we just got the Bright
- 22:55Line. It's not quite high speed rail, but the trains are immaculate,
- 23:00the stations are immaculate. You could eat off the floor in any bathroom in
- 23:03that terminal. Literally, Gerald, it's magnificent. And you see what it
- 23:07could have been. Yeah, if we got moors to find people to kill.
- 23:11Yeah, what's smart with you? Keep your priorities straight? Right?
- 23:17All right? Well, hey, we know you got other other commitments here.
