Unknown Co-host
Sucks August light and so good luck bullshit we can't afford why he's fomenting this watch and see as his jack golf the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head the Jimmy Door show.
Jimmy Dore
Let me jump right to our guest because I'm a little bit behind. Gerald Celente is a founder and director of the Trends Research Institute and publisher of the weekly Trends Journal magazine. He's the author of the best selling books Trend Tracking and Trends 2000. He's also the founder of Occupy Peace and Freedom, a not for profit movement to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights and restore our freedoms. Welcome to the show Gerald Celente. How you doing buddy?
Gerald Celente
I'm doing great. I'm so honored to be on with you. I admire so much of what you do. You're a real man that speaks out the truth of facts and in the true American spirit. So it's a true honor for me to be on with you.
Jimmy Dore
Well, I'll take it, I'll take it. Thank you very much. That's a nice.
Gerald Celente
That's true.
Jimmy Dore
That's a nice greeting. Well, Gerald, so tell me all about the Trends Research Institute and your weekly journal. Trends Journal magazine. Tell me all. What's that about? I'm going to guess it's about trends.
Gerald Celente
Yeah, well, it's again, we go from everything from AI to high tech science to geopolitics to economics to technocracy. We cover the world. We look at things what they are, not the way we want them to be. I'm a political atheist. I don't believe in the crime syndicate and what we do. For example, with the Israel wars going on, we subscribe to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper and again we go to Jerusalem Post Jerusalem, the Times of Israel. But we go to Irna, Isna Press tv, Tehran Times. You want to hear the Iranians have to say. We go to Arab News, we go to Al Jazeera, we go to Middle East Monitor, we go to Middle East I. We want to hear what everybody has to say. And then we say this is what they said. This is our analysis. And here's where we see it going. So there's no propaganda in it because when you turn on to the American media, they're nothing more than little prostitutes, media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and Government or masters. You talked about Occupy peace. You have no damn right to talk about peace. Oh, Christmas season. Peace on earth. Go to hell. We're not going to talk about that. Look at all the people they have on the mainstream media. Not one, not one speaking about the facts of why we should have peace.
Jimmy Dore
So. So basically what you do is you kind of. Well, I'm still amazed. You know, I've. I don't get invited to many Hollywood parties anymore. Ever since. Ever since around 2016 when I declared I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton even if she was running against Donald Trump. And it's really fell off there since. I debunked Russiagate and the Syria gas attacks. I was behind Tulsi Gabbard. I was debunked the January 6th narrative and then Covid. Whoever was left as my friend is over now. But anyway, I did get invited to a couple of parties. And it is just shocking to me that after the Vietnam War, after the Iraq war, the second Iraq war, the Libyan war, 20 years of lies about Afghanistan. Uh, no to. People still believe what they hear on cable news and read in the New York Times. It is just astounding to me what people say at these parties. It's just, you know, they're happy about Syria, they're worried about. I can't get over. They're still worried about Russia. I had the first. I walked into a party, first thing a guy said to me is, hey, Jimmy, is Bobby Kennedy really gonna take away the polio vaccine? I'm like, oh, now I know what they're saying in the New York Times today. So are you. Just as astounding to me as it sounds like what you're doing is kind of like an antidote to the corporate prostitutes, as you call them.
Gerald Celente
Just a little background. I began my career, I didn't want to go to work after graduate school, and I just went to college to beat the draft in the Vietnam War. And I ran. I started working on political campaigns in Westchester county and worked for this guy, Angelo Martinelli, became the longest running mayor of Yonkers. And they were grooming me. And I was the assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate. And I quit. It was watching grown men grovel to suck their way up to the top wasn't my trip. And then I was the government affairs specialist for the chemical industry. I was killing environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement in the 1970s, staying at the Willard Hotel at 28 years old, putting my meetings on to hey, Adams. And at around 32 years old, I started to grow up. I saw what a crime syndicate it all was. And this book is trend tracking far better than megatrends. Time magazine, 1989. I write about how I became a trend forecaster. And it was when little Jimmy Carter, yeah, the guy, that little slime ball that allowed interstate banking, did away with the regulations to allow the big airline companies to only own four and own everything. Anyway, he comes back from Iran and you were talking about Russiagate, how they taught us to hate Russia all our lives. When I was a kid, they had us hiding under a desk in case an atom bomb went off. He comes back from Iran and this is how he became a trend forecaster. And he said he spent New Year's Eve, he and Rosalind, with the Shah. And he said, the Shah is the island of stability in the Middle East. In the Bronx, we used to say, bullshit has its own sound. As this thing's going down, there are millions of people taken to the streets. People had no idea. The United States overthrow of a democratically elected government, the Mossadegh in 1953 in Iran. And the only newspaper that reported the final facts in 2017 was the financial Times, had that slime ball, Winston Churchill and Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson, great grandson, the CIA and the MI6 overthrew Mosaddegh because he had the nerve, this Iranian guy, to say, no, that oil doesn't belong to Anglo Iranian Oil. It doesn't belong to Standard Oil, better known as today is Exxon. ExxonMobil now Standard Oil then and BP now. It was Exxon Mobil back then. They got rid of them. They put in the Shah, the savak, the secret police that made the SS look good. So when this thing started to happen, that's when I became a political atheist. I said, this is a crime syndicate. And I said, I bet that gold and oil prices will go up. And I played the futures markets, a $5,000 bet in each one. And I brought it to almost three quarters of a million dollars. I lost a lot of the dough. You know, I whacked out a lot of stuff doing crazy. But that's how I became. I started looking at things. Not what they're selling, but the facts. And you talked about what people are saying now and how they could speak about this stupid stuff my father may arrest in peace. When I started to learn stuff, he said, son, take it easy. People have little minds. And if you need to see how little their minds were, 90% of the American people swallow the crap coming out of the mouth of little Georgie Bush, a little daddy's boy of nothing. We're going to get that guy Osama bin Laden, dead or alive, 90% of the people. And as you mentioned, the Afghan war, longest war in American history on only cost us several trillion dollars, killed a couple of hundred thousand people and lost another couple of hundred billion bucks as we got out of there.
Jimmy Dore
So, so what's your. So so you predict trends. So you debunk corporate media but you predict trends. Tell me what that means.
Gerald Celente
Well, we don't predict because there are too many wild cards whether they're made by humans or by nature. So what we do is we look at the facts to see where we're going. So anyway, I made my I used to be on Oprah, the Today show, good morning. I used to be on everybody. And, and they by the way they got me off when I came out against the Afghan war and said we weren't going to win because if Alexander the Great couldn't pull it off and that the British at the height of the British Empire couldn't pull it off into the valley of death row to 600 and if the Russians couldn't beat them and they're right next door, what makes you think we're going to beat them? We haven't won a war since World War II. We haven't won that one without Russia. So going back, I can't, I don't predict but I look at things. So for example, I pre, I came out with the bottled water trend. I came out with the term clean foods. Back in 1993 the New York Times.
Jimmy Dore
Did a story so how did you come up with the trend for bottled water?
Gerald Celente
Because I started looking at all was coming out with and there was a lot of information coming out back then. Again, this is the beginning of the environmental movement that happened in the mid to late 70s and they were talking about all the poisons in water. So I knew people were going to go into a different direction. And then again we also come out with why people are going to become more obese when women stopped raising their children and put them in nursing homes for kids that they call daycare centers and the mothers aren't cooking for them anymore. So we said we're going to see more obesity, more ultra processed foods and more sickness in different ways. So we look at the facts of what's going on and then people don't like that sometimes when you give them. Well how dare you say that. You know that which same would happen? You Know, you look at my generation, look at the pictures of Woodstock, generation 1969. We weren't suffering of blimpitis back then. We got 42% of the Americans are obese, 70% are overweight, and they eat crap all day. So then we look at what the implications are going to be.
Jimmy Dore
So what, what are some of the, what are some of the big trends right now? What are some of the things that you're, what are some of the facts you're noticing that leads you to predict a trend right now for. Well, it's a great time of year to have you on because the New Year's just around the corner. So what, what do you predict for 2025? Some of the trends.
Gerald Celente
I got to tell you, one of the, this is a wild card year with Trump in there because if he does what he says, certain things are going to happen. If he doesn't do, other things are going to happen. But here's where the bottom line and the bottom line is Trump's a bottom line. Cat dough is his major concern. We believe he's going to do everything he can to keep interest rates lower than they are. You look at treasury yields, they keep going back up. He's going to do everything he can to lower interest rates. So then we look at it, okay, the lower the interest rates go, the lower the dollar goes. The lower the dollar goes, the higher gold prices are going to go. Gold prices stagnated. When, when Trump got into office, they were up over. They were up almost $700 an ounce since the beginning of the year. And by the way, one of our top trends for 2024 was a golden year for gold. And now gold's up about 600 bucks since then. And then we think it's very positive for bitcoin. Again, you look at the people he's bringing in, and it's a bitcoin club. And then you look at all the billionaires he's brought into the gang. So we think it's going to be very positive for the equity markets. And again, we go by the facts. Let's go back to 2018, December, it was the worst December for the Dow since 1931, the Great Depression. What did Trump do? He forced Jerome Powell, the Fed head, to lower interest rates, and he did in January. Oh, and what happened? Oh, the repo crisis. Oh, we'll forget about that. They're going to do everything they can to artificially prop up this economy. And then the wild cards are what's going on in the Middle East. War and again, I got to write about this every day. And I'll never forget when you had RFK Jr on when he was first running for president and he was very popular. His popularity rating, which was very early back then, was like, was hitting between like 15 to 20%. And by the way, I had Dennis Kucinich, his campaign manager at the time, as one of the speakers at my Occupy Peace rally that I hold every year. And I remember you questioning. Now you get, tell me if I'm wrong, but this is the way I remember it. He was very pro Israel, what they were doing and you were not.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's correct.
Gerald Celente
You said, I'd like to have you on with Max Blumenthal. That's right. And he wouldn't do it. So now I'm going back to the wild card. The genocide being committed in Israel is atrocious. I'm going back to the facts. I got all the papers here we could go over every day. You go back from last Friday to today, not one article in the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times about the daily slaughter of the Palestinians by the Israelis. Today the New York Times had a decent article about it, but not for several days. Now they're in Syria. They're stealing more land. They are.
Jimmy Dore
You mean Israel.
Gerald Celente
I'm sorry, Israel's in Syria stealing more land.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Gerald Celente
And. And now they've reneged on the ceasefire in Lebanon and it still bombs away over there and stealing more land. And now the talk's coming out that from. Again, look here, you know, this is when I say that what we do is we go to the. Here, this is Haaretz. The Israeli newspaper today reports Israel raids, evacuates one northern Gaza, Gaza's last hospital. Oh, that was the 20. I'm sorry. Yeah, the 27th. Today, Israel forces raided, raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of only three medical facilities on the northern edge of the Gaza Strip on Friday, ordering dozens of patients and hundreds of others to evacuate the compound. And they've killed at least 25 people on Friday. And the daily strikes come a day after reports of Israel forces killing 50 Gazans on Thursday. The hell with that. Five people got killed in Germany, you forgot. Oh, that was front page news. Some guy killed five people in Germany. Every day this is going on every day. They're going to keep escalating this. That's the wildest wild card because going back to when I became a trend forecaster about oil prices, if they attack Iran, you're going to see. Brent crude, by the way, is only at about $73.60 a barrel, very low because there's a global slowdown, supply and demand. They go to war against Iran, you're going to see oil prices, Brent crude, go to about 120, $130 a barrel. That will crash the equity markets. It will crash the already crashing global economy and it'll spike gold prices and Bitcoin prices. That's the way we look at things.
Jimmy Dore
So, so do you have a prediction? What will, do you think they will go to war with Iran? I think they will.
Gerald Celente
Absolutely. You know, I do these, these things, you know, that I, I don't want to hear the fairy tale that was that guy Huckabee Huckleberry, the little jerk that they brought in for the.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Gerald Celente
United nations ambassador to Israel. Yeah. God gave Israel this land 3500 years ago. God told Abraham, hey, got son, what if I don't believe in your God? And what did God disappear, hasn't come back in 3,500 years ago and he only talked to one person. Well, I got to believe this crap. What, are you kidding me or what? They're stealing the land in front of everybody's eyes in violation of the Geneva Convention and Article 242 of the United nations. And now they're going into, into, into Syria and stealing more land. So going back to the Trump administration, considering the Zionist group that he brought in, and why did he get over $100 million from Adelson's wife and $100 million to Maidelson before that and moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and said to Israel, yeah, you know that land you stole in the Golan Heights, it's yours. So I think it's going to continue to escalate because there's also working out that Trump is also opposed to Iran. And of course, by their deeds you shall know them. He's the guy that ended the nuclear agreement with Iran and killed soleimani back in what, 2020.
Jimmy Dore
Right. So, so you, I, so we could say that your, your prediction for the trend would be oil prices go up, gold prices go up, the equity market crashes, and their war continues to escalate at the behest of Israel because that's what people don't realize, that Syria, they have their hand in all this. They had their hand in Iraq, they had their hand in Libya, they had their hand in Syria, and they're going to. Right now there's instability in Egypt. The Greater Israel Project also includes parts of Egypt. So I wouldn't be surprised if that was that. So I think Trump will do whatever Israel wants. And if Israel wants him to attack Iran, I think he will. So that's the trend. That's what you're saying the trend is.
Gerald Celente
Yeah, I agree here. This is again from Hanets today.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Gerald Celente
Houthi military sites in Sana'a struck an attack by U. S&UK yeah. Put an F&A C in that UK too.
Jimmy Dore
Yep.
Gerald Celente
What are you doing over there? What right do you have going over there? Oh, I forgot that the Yemen war was brought to you by the Nobel piece of crap prize winner, Barack Obama.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. Yeah.
Gerald Celente
And that little blinking boy.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Gerald Celente
Again, like George Carlin says, one big club and you ain't in it. Oh, my daddy was the ambassador to Hungary. My uncle was the ambassador in Belgium. I went to Dalton, I went to Harvard, and I went over there to Saudi Arabia to give quote, intelligence as the under Secretary of State under Obama as the United States are refueling the Saudi planes to bomb the hell out of Yemen. And we won't talk about that.
Jimmy Dore
And yeah, and again, this is all being done, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, under the aumf, which is the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, which means we're supposed to be fighting terrorists, but it turns out we're in bed with the terrorists. Al Qaeda, we're funding Al Qaeda, isis. Al Qaeda just took over Syria and they're our buddies now. And. But so we don't have to declare war. The president never has to declare war. Congress never gets to vote on it. We just have a handful of unelected billionaires directing our foreign policy. And right now they're bombing Yemen again. And the Houthis and that they're doing that at the behest of who? Saudi Arabia and Israel. So. And people don't know this. It's. And people don't care. But Trends. Trends Journal knows about this. Listen, it's been great to talk to you, Gerald. Like, I got a pack show. I have to get to the rest of the show, but I really appreciate you coming on. You have any parting words for the. For the audience?
Gerald Celente
Yeah, do everything you can to help anybody you can. And we're in very, very dangerous times. So my just suggestion is get in the best shape you can for physically, emotionally and spiritually. One of the top trends we're going to have this year is off with their heads 2.0. The people are tired of the billionaires running the whole show. And we become nothing more than plantation workers of slavelandia. So be the man or woman that you really want to be because it's your country, not theirs. Because if you don't have a billionaire, you can't talk to the president. But if you're a billionaire, you could talk to anybody that you want. So we have to stand up as human beings in the true spirit of the American spirit. And you're that man that does that. And I'm so happy to be on with you and thank, so thankful for all that you do.
Jimmy Dore
I appreciate it. Now it's time for MAGA to stand up to Elon and Vivek and Donald Trump and impose their will. Because the billionaire class does not have MAGA is interest at heart. We all know that. But anyway, we'll see what happens. Fingers crossed. Like I say, for the future, you predict the trends. I say I have hope, but I don't have any faith. So we'll see what happens. Gerald Celente, everybody. Check out the trends Journal magazine. Appreciate you coming on, pal. We'll talk to you again soon.
Gerald Celente
I'd love to. Thank you.

Hey, Donald Trump, Just from the Financial Times, Donald Trump's transition team seeks to pull us out of the who on day one. So he's answering the question, what inspired all those assassination attempts? I think that's one of the. And by the way, before you get too excited, just remember a lot of presidents promise a lot of great stuff on day one.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, a lot.
Jimmy Dore
Donald Trump's transition team is pushing to pull the United. That's such a weird. That's such bad writing. They are pushing to pull the US Out. They're pushing to pull. They're pushing and pulling. And it's such horrible writing. Who wrote this? That's a bad editor. Chips. Chip. No, that's the guy who took the picture. No, it doesn't say Financial Times. I'll look up the editor. Donald Trump's transition team is pushing to Pull. God damn it. That's so bad. You. That's like a joke. That's how I. If I was writing a joke piece, that's how I would write it. Rula Khalif is the editor of the Financial Times. Yeah, okay. I bet he's here on. Is he. Is he. Is she here on a visa? Donald Trump's transition team is pushing to pull the US out of the World Health Organization on the first day of the new administration, according to experts who warn of the catastrophic. Again, these nebulous experts say it's going to be catastrophic for global health. The experts. Do you mean the same experts that said that the vaccine would stop transmission and contraction and get us out of the pandemic? The same experts that said the coronavirus was super deadly and was going to kill millions? The same people who said that lockdowns were good? The same people who said masks. Was that those. I mean, the people who said that the virus didn't come from a lab and if you said that you were racist. Those same experts are these different experts.
Unknown Guest
Name them so I know. I don't know.
Jimmy Dore
Members of Trump's team told the experts of their intention to announce a withdrawal. They use it twice in a row. Experts. The experts. Why don't you name one? The experts of their intention to announce a withdrawal from the global health body on the President elect's January 20th inauguration. I can hear all my Hollywood shitlib friends now. Oh, that's just great, Jimmy. So now where's the world supposed to get all of its health from? The departures would move the WHO's biggest source of funds damaging it's. Again, I still. It's hard to get the stats. I've looked into this several times. It's hard to find the stats. But I'm pretty sure Bill Gates and his Gavi. Bill and Melinda Gates and his Gavi foundation are the biggest contributors to the World Health Organization. It's hard to find. I try. I looked for at least 15 minutes. That's all I'm going to give it. But they say the United States is the biggest funder of the who. Possible number two has got to be Bill Gates and the Garvey Foundation. So the departure would remove the WHO's biggest source of funds, damaging its ability to respond to public health crises such as the coronavirus pandemic. Oh, how did the WHA do during the coronavirus pandemic? They did fantastic. Just fantastic. In fact, Africa WHO didn't do anything. Had much, much lower death rate than the rest of the world. Sweden, same thing, you know, has the highest death rate the United States. Or one of the highest. Or one of the highest. What's that?
Unknown Guest
Don't forget we all. They wanted us to sign over our national sovereignty to them not long ago. And I think it just narrowly didn't pass or it was still maybe on the table.
Jimmy Dore
America is going to leave a huge vacuum in global health financing and leadership. I see no one that is going to fill the breach, said some ass white professor at Georgetown, adding. Adding that the plan to withdraw on day one would be catastrophic for global health. Wow. And let's get out our deep state Dakota rings, then figure out what that statement really means. And it says that it would be catastrophic to the factory farm that we call the health industry and harvest us like GMO corn. That's who it would be catastrophic for. It'd be probably good for the world. Hey, Financial Times, stop trying to bone me up with beautiful promises. How about that? The battle over U.S. relations with the WHO comes after Trump nominated several allies such as vaccine skeptic R.F. kennedy, who by the way was right about everything when it came to coronavirus and the end the pandemic for a top health job that the next administration. Also, who's the guy who was on this show? Why can't I think of his name? He's the new head of the nih.
Unknown Guest
Oh, Bhattacharya.
Jimmy Dore
Bhattacharya.
Unknown Guest
Indian guy. He's good.
Jimmy Dore
The guy who helped pen the Barrington Declaration, which turned out to be correct on how to handle the pandemic.
Unknown Guest
Indian guy fought for your rights.
Jimmy Dore
However, Ghostin said he was not sure that Trump would place as high a priority on an immediate withdrawal as some in his team. Huh? Whoops. That's a misprint. They meant to say big pharma skeptic, not vaccine skeptic. How about a big pharma skeptic?
Unknown Guest
Because there's no such thing as a vaccine skeptic.
Jimmy Dore
No, that's not a thing. Vaccine skeptics. That's not. The concept of vaccine is sound. Mandatory untested gene therapy. Not so sound. Not not so sound. The United states is the WHO's largest single donor. Again, it's very hard to say who it is. I'm going to say Bill gates is the if is number one or number two, providing about 16% of its funding in 2022-2023. In 2020, Trump initiated the process to leave the WHO as COVID 19 spread, accusing the agency of being under China's control. But the process was never Finished. And his successor, Joe Biden, restarted relations with the agency on his first day in office of 2021. Because Joe Biden is completely owned by big pharma and the deep state, which is also in bed with the who. Just in case, in case you didn't know. I don't know if maybe you didn't know this. So, so, so they say the agency. He accused the agency of being under the control of China. You're telling me Bill Gates is Chinese? Come on, come on, come on. But okay. Experts have been told that some in Trump's team want to move much faster this time around. After initiating the process immediately.
Unknown Guest
Good.
Jimmy Dore
Good. I say. That's what I say. I'm all for it. Ashish Ja Biden's former White House Covid response coordinator who did a great job. Let's put our numbers up against Africa's. Hey, let's put our numbers up against Sweden. Said the transition. But WHO didn't do anything. Said the transition team wanted Trump. They didn't shut down their schools. I'll tell you that Sweden had shut down their schools. Said the transition team wanted Trump to withdraw on the first day because of the symbolism of reversing Biden's own inauguration day move. Okay. If Donald Trump wants to be serious, let's move on. There are lots of people who are going to be part of the inner circle of the administration who do not trust the WHO and want to symbolically show on day one that they are out. He added that some in his team wanted to stay in the organization and push to reform it. But another really, really deport them. That's such a democratic thing. To the optimism to think you can change a multi billion dollar racket from the inside.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, we don't have to blow up the Death Star, Jimmy. We could use the Death Star for good.
Jimmy Dore
He added that sub. But another group who believed in cutting ties was winning the argument. I think that's good. I say that's good. If Trump is really against the who, I think he should also make the ban the dub the WHO disband because they're all deaf now anyway. And they should be called the huh. Anyway, these are jokes, folks. Bodies such as the WHO are key to global cooperation on vaccine development and distribution. Oh really? As well as other treatments during health emergencies. Said Jah. If you're not engaged in these institutions, you're not going to have ears to the ground when the next outbreak happens. What? We don't have ears to the ground in DARPA sponsored labs where they purposely make These viruses. Well, it's good that we don't have ears to the ground there, because it's probably not sanitary.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, probably how Covid got out of the lab. Somebody put their ear to the ground.
Jimmy Dore
So here's what we see. What the actual catastrophe would be. Kurt, the catastrophe would be not for the world, but just for those who want to control it through chemical manipulation.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
What do you mean we don't have ears to the ground? You people have installed the most advanced surveillance system in the history of the world. And all it does is look for when we simultaneously wake up to you and what you're doing to us. Tell me you don't.
Unknown Guest
I mean, they could end human trafficking tomorrow, couldn't they? With the massive spying and also.
Jimmy Dore
AI Right. Gostin said there would be very lean years for the WHO where it will struggle to respond to health emergencies and will have to reduce its scientific staff considerably. You mean the morons who've gotten everything wrong and they're run by a fricking guy in bed with terrorists? Not even a doctor. The guy who runs the who, just.
Unknown Guest
Say a doctor of terror.
Jimmy Dore
He probably a doctor of terror. He warned that if the US left the who, European countries were unlikely to step up and funding in China might try to wield more. Who cares? Who cares? I don't care. Every country.
Unknown Guest
The world that's not us will be.
Jimmy Dore
Every country has their own doctors and their own health organizations. This. This WHO thing is bullshit.
Unknown Guest
Oh, well, you know, it's an intelligence thing. And this is what's called soft power. And that's what they're really talking about.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Unknown Guest
We're going to lose our soft power.
Jimmy Dore
China might. China might try to wield more influence. Oh, no. They make. They make all our phones and tiktoks and sneakers already.
Unknown Guest
Are they going to Belt and Road Initiative Health and not charge people for it? What are they going to do?
Jimmy Dore
Just let me. Whatever the question is, these people are not the answer. The wh. The people who want. They're not the answer. They're like a drunk at a party trying to take other drunk's keys out of their hands. Yeah, so they could drive them home. That's what the WHO is. It would not be. It would not be a smart move as withdrawal would cede leadership to China.
Unknown Guest
Of what?
Jimmy Dore
I don't.
Unknown Guest
Again, we're.
Jimmy Dore
What?
Unknown Guest
They're not going to be leading us because we're not in the who. So who is it they're leading?
Jimmy Dore
Right, who.
Unknown Guest
Africa likes them better by the Way. Are you worried about Africa? They like China way better than Bill Gates because the Belt and Road initiative and they trust China more whether China is good or not.
Jimmy Dore
And so they're going to cede leadership to China. I mean, what's the matter with China? You guys use them to make all of our viruses already, right?
Unknown Guest
Yeah, they do good work.
Jimmy Dore
The Trump transition team did not comment directly. One person familiar with the plans told the Financial Times the same who that we left in the first administration. It seems like we wouldn't much care what they have to say. He went on to say, influence, Deez. And the reporter said, influence what? And he said, deez nuts. The who did not comment. Tedros, that's the guy who runs it, the body's director general. Not a doctor, but he is a corrupt in bed with terrorists. Said this month that it was a unique organization that hoped to partner with the US Policy. No kidding. It's a unique organization. Syria now from our side, we're ready to work together. He said, I believe US Leaders understand that the US Cannot be safe unless the rest of the world is safe.
Unknown Guest
The threat. Tedros.
Jimmy Dore
Boy, he sounds upset. He should maybe give a Ted Rose talk about it. Am I right? Come on.
Unknown Guest
It's hard to get tickets to those.
Jimmy Dore
It's. There's something creepy and pedo about that statement. The US Cannot be safe unless the rest. That's like when they said nobody is safe unless everybody's vaccinated. Remember that? You remember that? Nobody's safe unless everybody's safe. Remember that bullshit thing they were saying?
Unknown Guest
Well, that's how you know this is really about intel in the State Department and some NATO bullshit. Because making the world safe for democracy was their whole raison day. Whatever. And so he's. He's actually kind of alluding to. Don't forget your intel interests in this.
Jimmy Dore
Right. You're right. So here's the top 20 contributors in 2018 to the WHO, United States of America. Right? Number two is Bill and Melinda Gates. And here's Gavi. That's another thing controlled by Bill and Bill Gates.
Unknown Guest
Maybe Gavi will take over.
Jimmy Dore
If you put Gavi and Bill Gates together, I bet they were worth more money than the U.S. of course they are.
Unknown Guest
Now, is Gavi an Indian guy? I'm not sure.
Jimmy Dore
And here. So here's 20 to 20, 23. United States, Bill and Melinda Gates. Right. Nipping at their tail.
Unknown Guest
Where's Gavi?
Jimmy Dore
Look at that. Gavi's not on here. So again, that's why I'm saying it's hard to. It's hard to find out who really funds the who, but we know Bill and Melinda Gates has got a stranglehold on the who. And if you know anything about Bill and Melinda Gates, when the devil comes, he's not going to be wearing horns and holding it for pitchfork. He's going to be wearing a crew neck sweater and glasses and buying carbon offsets so he could fly around the world in a private jet.
Unknown Guest
Wait, Jimmy, look. At the bottom. Is China at, like, third from the bottom?
Jimmy Dore
China's like third from the bottom.
Unknown Guest
How will they be the leaders of God?
Jimmy Dore
You tell me.
Unknown Guest
Who. So that's just Germany, wouldn't it?
Jimmy Dore
That's just. That's right. So United Kingdom, Germany, European Commission, Norway, France, India, Sweden, Korea, Japan, Austria. They're all ahead of China.
Unknown Guest
China is going to be the leader of that somehow.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, somehow China is not going to be the leader.
Unknown Guest
What in the hell? Oh, China's about to take over. You look at those numbers.
Jimmy Dore
We. Calling the WHO the World Health Organization is like calling the food court at the shopping mall the World Health Organization. That's all I'm saying. Hey, so guess what? There's a bit of a conflict of interest in the Luigi Mangione trial. What? Yeah. You want to hear it? Guess. Guess what. Here, here. Our friend Nick Cruz is here to.
Unknown Co-host
Tell us the judge overseeing the Luigi Maggione case has a massive conflict of interest as she is literally married to a former healthcare executive and has millions in stock in the healthcare industry. The ruling class is not even given the delusion of giving Luigi Maggione a fair trial. The ruling class is desperate as they completely lost the narrative.
Jimmy Dore
So is. Is that why they're treating Luigi more harshly than the illegal immigrant who just lit a woman on fire in the New York subway and watched her burn?
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Is that. Is this why? Maybe. Maybe this is why. Okay, you know what? Psychopath stood there and then.
Unknown Guest
And the cops came. Didn't even know he did it at first because he was standing there and they're like, sir, you gotta move.
Jimmy Dore
Luigi Mangione.
Gerald Celente
Drop.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Woo. You're wooing for justice, right?
Unknown Co-host
Their desperation is so palpable. There is zero presumption of innocence by the ruling class for Luigi Maggione. They want Luigi dead. They're even trying to hit Luigi Maggione with a terrorism charge, even though he only murdered one person.
Jimmy Dore
So I'll tell you another reason why they're hitting him with a terrorism charge. Because on social media, you're not allowed to be Sympathetic to terrorists. As this was pointed out by due dissidents. Especially on Facebook. If you're seen being. Oh yes. So you can't be seen supporting or. That's why they got. That's how they kicked off YouTube. They got rid of Jackson the Hair Hinkle because they said he was propping up and glorifying terrorists. Of course the biggest terrorist in the world is the United States.
Unknown Guest
We don't know the guy did it yet.
Jimmy Dore
And we don't even know if this guy did it.
Unknown Guest
But that's why that he says he didn't do it. And why would he carry his manifesto with him and his murder jacket and his.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, there's a. There's lots of really suspense things that make you skeptical of this case. Doesn't make any sense. That a guy who was a valedictorian.
Unknown Guest
It's moving real fast too. Almost like we got to get this frame up done.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. And by the way, the eyewitnesses said the guy who shot the executive was in his. Was waiting in his car all night. Was waiting there all night. But the FBI said that Luigi left his hotel at 5:15 in the morning. So which is it?
Unknown Guest
Well, the FBI wouldn't lie.
Jimmy Dore
The FBI wouldn't lie. Why would they lie? Here we go.
Unknown Co-host
Ruling class can't help but to remind us peasants how much less they value our lives compared to the capitalist CEO class. As I covered in.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. Of course. Of course. That a millionaire CEO who did a 2100 $20 million stock scam dump his life is worth. How many non millionaire citizens is worth one high end pharma executive. Let me get. Let me get out my Israeli value over everyone else. Slide rule and see. See what he's actually worth.
Unknown Guest
I can't believe he's wearing the same stuff as Lee Harvey Oswald. That's shocking.
Jimmy Dore
Here. Here we are.
Unknown Co-host
As I covered in a previous hotspot, the story of Luigi Maggione doesn't pass the smell test. And I still maintain the fact that he may be innocent. Luigi deserves a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.
Jimmy Dore
He certainly. There's a lot of people skeptical of that. It's that guy. That Luigi is actually that guy. There's a lot of people very skeptical of that. Here's a guy. So now you know why they're charging him with terrorism. And they're moving faster on this trial than anybody else. Here's a guy. Attorney Brian Buckmire. He's gonna tell you about why they're moving so fast on this case, unusual is an understatement.
Brian Buckmire
In my decade of practicing in the state of New York, specifically in New York City, being able to practice both in New York Criminal Court, Supreme Court, Brooklyn, all over, and also practicing in the Southern district of New York, where Luigi Mangione will be prosecuted, I've never seen things move this quickly. I've never seen a question of getting him from one state to court. Seeing the feds jump in almost in front of the state court as they've already secured an indictment. And then, as I think Aaron appropriately said, this turf war between the two, everyone kind of wanting their piece of Luigi Mangione to try to secure a conviction. What likely will happen is the feds will likely go first and the state charges will be at somewhat of a pause before some resolution is found. And then we'll kind of just see the next steps going forward. We'll see what evidence comes out and the difference of charges between state and federal prosecution.
Jimmy Dore
Hmm. It is weird. I wonder why this is happening so fast. I mean, I. I guess we'll never be able to solve this mystery. Okay, on to the next fake thing. I mean, they dress him up in orange. They don't put a vest on him. They're walking him around, leaving a giant opening for anybody to take a shot. And nothing happened. Now they have to go to trial and explain themselves. I bet they were really wishing this was over by now. Health insurance leaders pressured again, and health insurance leaders pressured the Department of Justice to charge Luigi Mangione. This is real.
Unknown Guest
When was this? When was the shooting? Do you remember? What date? Was it before or after the 25th?
Jimmy Dore
The shooting.
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
When did he shoot him? It was. It. What? What date was the shooting?
Unknown Guest
I don't know because they just put that. What's her name? Jessica Tish, The. The first second woman, but I believe first civilian in a wild police commissioner whose family is heavily invested in United Health.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, really?
Unknown Guest
She just came in, she just happened to be made commissioner at the same time. And New York Post, for example, is like, oh, she's in charge and a no nonsense woman's taking her. All this, the mayor sucking up. You see the mayor doing little speeches of like how this. Hey, what are you cheering for this guy? Yeah, they're all in on this.
Jimmy Dore
Yes, they're all upset that people are sympathetic and they gotta tamp down the police. They gotta really shut the police, hey, you know what? If you kill him, you just make them a hero forever. By the way, if they execute him, the one thing that gets These people off the hook is if you set him free. The only way to make America forget you have to keep it out of the news. I realized this wasn't on their bingo.
Unknown Guest
Card, but, dude, look at the Trump trials, how off they were. You think they're not going to do that to this guy, right? Of course, Trump was just like, mean on Twitter. This guy.
Jimmy Dore
According to reporting by Joe Marino, Ben Kochman, and Matt Troutman, last week, health insurance leaders pressured the Department of Justice to make an example of Luigi Mangione by bringing federal charges against him. In a surprise announcement that caught his lawyers off guard. If tried in federal court, Mangione could be sentenced to death, silencing any further criticism of the American health care system he decried in his manifesto. Again, if you sentence him to death, you're just going to make him a bigger hero. So. So Luigi may in fact be the healthcare Jesus is what I'm taking from this. Right. Does anyone else notice that he pled not guilty and has not been proven guilty, but everyone already talks like it's a done deal. Isn't that weird?
Unknown Guest
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
According to the Post report, federal charges came amid pressure from health insurance industry leaders to make an example of Adamantia. The Post also writes that the decision to unveil federal charges came from the top of the Department of justice in Washington, D.C. wow. So they're going to. They want to make an example out of. And my prediction is that example is going to backfire big time and we're going to see a lot more examples made, if you know what I mean.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, it's almost like. Is that the goal? What is this? They want to get this frame up done real quick and then censor you online.
Jimmy Dore
Yep. Censor you online because he's a terrorist, so you can't say anything nice. How and when healthcare industry leaders tried to strong arm the Department of Justice remains unclear. But the top three Department of Justice officials under Attorney General Merrick Garland have all represented massive healthcare companies during their respective stints in private practice before joining the Department of Justice. No kidding. I knew there was a reason he seemed so great. Lisa Monaco, the Deputy US Attorney General, previously worked as a partner at the law firm O Melvy and Myers. At O'Melvey and Myers, Monaco represented Humana, the fifth largest US health insurance company, according to her financial disclosure. Notably, O'Melvey and Myers also successfully defended UnitedHealth in a suit brought by UnitedHealth Group insured patients earlier this year. Wow. Of course they're gonna bring those guys in on this. Case. The number three at the Department of Justice, Acting associate AJ Benjamin Miser also represented healthcare and pharmaceutical giant Sanovi Aventus. Finally, number four. The Department of Justice Solicitor General Elizabeth Prologar reported Lumos Pharma, Sinos Health and Megan as former clients on her disclosure. No kidding. Luigi Mangione, judge married to former health care exec. It says that she's a former pharmaceutical executive. Jimmy. That means she has no influence on this case at all because now she's back just being a regular old housewife. Not everything is a big conspiracy except this.
Unknown Guest
Yeah. And also your government and how business works and everything around you.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. His pretrial judge is married to former executor at Pfizer, according to a shocking report. Color me not shocked. Magistrate Parker, who has handled Magione's pretrial hearings, is married to Brett Parker, who stopped working at Pfizer in 2010. She also has hundreds of thousands in stock. According to reports, the judge holds between 50 and 100 grand in Pfizer stock. Well, it had to triple during COVID including stock in other health care industries like Abbott Laboratories, but Vitreous and Crispr Therapeutics. Her husband still collects a pension from his former employer.
Unknown Guest
So it's still paying you, isn't it? Yes, Even if you don't work there.
Jimmy Dore
Parker also has holdings in Alphabet, meaning Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla and Apple, amongst others.
Unknown Guest
This is all military industrial complex. It's all part of the same complex. It's all the same complex.
Jimmy Dore
How do you say the wealthy are realizing that their asses are on notice everywhere without actually saying it. Parker is not expected to handle Mangione's trial for the killing of. So there you go. And Daily Beast infiltrated by the CIA, just so you know, 100%. I just want to show you this story. This is in keeping with our last two stories where Elon Musk is now censoring Laura Loomer because she's pushing back against him. And they have no problem with this idea that they're for free. They're for certain free speech, not all free speech. And they will gladly censor you at the behest of Israel. And now here they're doing it at the University of Michigan. So breaking the judicial branch of the University of Michigan student government has found its anti Israel president and vice president guilty of dereliction of duty. You don't say.
Unknown Guest
The duty to be pro Israel.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. They are removed from office with immediate effect and barred from holding gsg, GS SG office in the CSG office in the future. Well, it's like what they try to do to Trump and what they did to Bolsonaro. They made it them illegal and you can never run again. And they're doing it because they're. So this is the kind of, this is the kind of censorship that people like Elon and Trump are okay with. I don't think maga's okay with this because when I was at Rescue the Republic, that rally they had in Washington D.C. i was the only one who spoke out and told them, if you're free speech, that means you have to be for the free speech of Palestinian protesters. Because if they can take it away from them, they can take it away from you when you say something they don't like. Like they already did during COVID and during Russiagate. And so I was. And a lot of people in the crowd cheered. In fact, I can't believe I didn't go interview people. But Russell Dobuler did from due dissidents. He went and interviewed MAGA people and they had signs saying MAGA for Palestinians. So they get it. They get it. The people who don't get it are the people at the top of the ticket. People like Elon, people like Trump himself, people who are willing lap dogs to the APEC and Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. So hopefully this will be another point of contention inside. So here's so, so they did this at the University of Michigan. They, they got rid of their anti Israel president, vice president. So. And you're not, you're not going to hear Ben Shapiro being screaming about this. Hey, I don't agree with that with them, but we can't, we have to stand up for their right to, to be wrong. He's not, they're not going to say that. Bari Weiss is not going to say that.
Unknown Guest
She's been against that for years. For years. She's tried to suppress people for many years.
Jimmy Dore
Is my old pal Dave Rubin going to stand up for this? I'm going to guess not. So that's a real, that's the real downfall of, of those, of the, of that movement, the right. The people who call themselves conservatives. They're not really for free speech. They're for free speech they like, which is easy. So are Democrats. Democrats are for free speech. They like.
Unknown Guest
Yeah, we're not talking about pornography to kids in their school. By all means, don't let the kids have pornography. We're talking about important things such as a genocide going on.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Unknown Guest
That you have an obligation to really talk about if you know anything about it.
Jimmy Dore
So here is the impeachment of Alifa Chowdhury and alias Atkinson.
Unknown Guest
So she's Arab. So what? Is she going to not talk about it?
Jimmy Dore
The assembly has now exercised this power. For the first time in its history, it's adopted five. So that's it. You cross. You cross Israel and that's it. You cross the Zionists and that's it.
Unknown Guest
Why is there a law that says you can't boycott Israel in many states? That is crazy. First of all, how do they know if you're boycotting Israel?
Jimmy Dore
The allegation. Article one, incitement of violence. They found him not guilty. Article two, cyber access violations and defamations by. They found him not guilty. What was he guilty of? Dereliction of duty. Guilty. Incitement of violence by the vice President. Not guilty. Dereliction. They found them dereliction of duty.
Unknown Guest
Well, you know what? I'll bet you all these. All these university fake left wing idiots, ok? They suppressed all the, you know, conservative or whatever. And by conservative I mean you just didn't go along with every other stupid woke thing. And so they created these duties that you've got to suppress those people. So then when you have something important that you want to talk about, they used it on you. That's how that looks to me. They created this fake duty of suppressing other people.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Unknown Guest
And they didn't do it one time and now they're hoisted by their own petard.
Jimmy Dore
This is the first impeachment in the history of the University of Michigan student government. Yep.
Unknown Guest
It's about time.
Jimmy Dore
These are the dereliction of duty charges. You want to see what the. Their dereliction of duty. Yeah.
Unknown Guest
I can't even read it.
Jimmy Dore
I know.
Unknown Guest
Is it protecting Zionist emotions in school? I bet you it is.
Jimmy Dore
It's all bullshit because community leadership training. They failed to do stuff like that. The president.
Unknown Guest
They're doing to Jordan Peterson about pronouns in Canada is what they're doing to them. Boy, that. It's the irony of everybody doing the same thing.
Jimmy Dore
Look at the bottom one that says sixth. Jimmy. Sixth. Yeah. President Chalberry deliberately misled members of the assembly about matters related to CSG business by promising to meet with member subjects to harassment at the October 8th meeting and then failing to do so.
Unknown Guest
Oh, it's like technicalities.
Jimmy Dore
Here it is. Seventh. He has accrued four unexcused absences.
Unknown Guest
Oh, this is all bullshit.
Jimmy Dore
So bull. This is all bullshit.
Unknown Guest
So they did on like an Al Capone technicality.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. Oh my God. Alawad. They Impeach for, among other things, lightweight nonsense, four unexcused absences. So that's what happens if you're at the University of Michigan and you don't go along with the pro Israel's, pro Zionist narrative. That's what they do to you. They turn you into a criminal and they bar you from ever running again and they kick you out of office. And no one, no one's going to be upset about this over at the Daily Wire. No. But Elon Musk is not going to be upset at this. Vivek Ramaswamy is not going to be upset at this. Trump is not going to be upset at this. They're all for this. They're all, they're all for censoring speech they don't like. They're all for canceling. Barry Weiss isn't going to be upset at this. They're all for canceling people who don't go along with what they want. This is, they are the exact thing they claim to hate. The exact thing they claim to hate. Ben Shapiro, Elon Musk, Vivek Trump, Barry Weiss there, none of nobody's going to be upset about this. And it's sad to see some of those people are very personable when you meet them. Very, very charming.
Unknown Guest
Tons of people have their mind controlled, little compartmentalizations where they can have cognitive dissonance and just like say a thing. I mean, really, it's the American way, let's face it, to blather one thing like an idiot and then in meantime, you don't believe it.
