AI top trends for 2026 point towards a shift from 2025's quiet luxury to loud luxury featuring bold colors, exaggerated establishments, tassels and bows. Yeah, bow down and suck up. Anyway, unique texture. Oh, unique. Tell what you telling me this for? What the YOU TELL? SHUT UP, SENTI. YOU BE STUPID LIKE THE REST OF US. HEY, we're Google AI. F you. All right. Okay. All right. I'm going to take it easy. Economically, expect easing inflation and solid global growth. Yeah. You know what that is? >> Warning. alert. >> You got it. major events like F I FA World Cup. F I F U C K. Shove your cup up your ass. What the you told? All right. That's the That's the Now, now let's go to the front page of the Cartoon News Network and see what you get. Maduro and his wife hit their heads as they try to flee US forces. Hey, What's going on? Oh, they hit their heads. What the do I care? They hit their heads. How about you captured them, threw them in jail? What the else did you Oh, they hit their heads. This is the that you're getting from the mainstream media. And this is why you subscribe to the trends journal. Got to make this 100% clear. Go to all the media, all of them. You know what they talked about the top trends? This is what happened last year. Did Bill Clinton get last year or did he somebody else? Oh, no. It's in the Epstein files that they won't release. I forgot. All they do is talk about last year. They don't know about trends. Trend tracking far better than mega trends. Time magazine. Oh, it's my book. Trends 2000. International bestseller Trends Journal been publishing since 1991. Go to the Wall Street Journal. Go to the New York Slime. Go to all of them. See what trends they're forecasting for 2026. Come up to next to zero. Oh, but here's what happened in 2025. That's the that they put out because they're dead and alive. So, let's go on to the markets before we go on to the trends here. the S&P boop, new heights, beep boop. And as they say in the CNBC, CNB uh, as investors, gamblers, move past the recent US attacks on Venezuela. Oh, yeah, but they hit their heads. They hit their heads. Don't you know that? I forgot. The S&P was up 0.26%. Another all-time high. Dow up about 485 points. Boop. Keeps hitting a high. NASDAQ up 0.65. Magnificent 7 still magnificent. Yep. Including Micron Technology and Planeteer Technologies. Micron advanced 10% while Planeteer climbed more than 3%. Micron more than with Tuesday's gains, the stocks risen 20% year to date. That's coming off a blockbuster year for the name as it soared more than 240% in 2025. And what's one of your top trends for 2026? Comb bus 2.0. Things way overvalued. Some 50% that was from last February. We said this was going to happen. This is the year it's going to happen. is going to be a market crash, a.com bust. And again, we're giving you what nobody else has given you by the facts. The dollar, as we've been saying, you know, it had its uh worst year, sharpest decline last year in eight years. the bricks that control some 40% of the world's gross domestic product have had enough of the United States in geminy be it on the economic or the geopolitical side and then going back to the equity markets and 50% of the markets the S&P were driven up not 50% excuse me much it's about 30% were driven up by um a couple of top of the magnificent 7 plus 10 or two. But most importantly, the point that I wanted to make is that the rich are getting richer and everybody else is getting poorer. As we noted last year, 50% of retail spending, 50% nearly about 49.7 came from the top 10%. So the markets have no relationship at all to Main Street. The markets are overvalued. And the other thing that no one's talking about is the office building bust. The numbers are coming out. They're talking about a vacancy rate in uh Chicago like of um about 27 28% Louisville, St. Louis, Portland, Oregon, Denver, Colorado, Seattle, Washington. Major cities. Major cities. We said last week Dallas, I forgot what it was, like 27% when I did the podcast. downtown Dallas homelessness, crime because they locked down everything and nobody talks about this when they launched the COVID war in 2020. The damage it's caused is incalculable. There's going to be an office building bust that's going to bring down the banking bust and you're seeing all the money they're pumping into the repo market that's hardly being reported at all. Hundreds of billions. The banksters don't have the dough to cover this. There's going to be a crash like we've never seen. It's going to be the greatest depression. But don't worry because when all else fails, they take you to war. Yep. Trump said on his uh New Year's Eve with Netanyahu, his resolution for the new year is peace on earth as he bombs Venezuela and captures their president and his wife. And they say the numbers between 30 and 80 people were killed trying to protect them. I don't know. I'm just saying. And Trump had called himself the most anti-war president in history. Quote, "The most anti-war president in history." >> That was >> It's Trump He's always saying one thing and doing another very, very, very serious what's going on over here. And the mainstream media isn't giving it to you at all. Again, the door and his wife hit their heads. Oh, and some guy died. Some some Republican representative died. If your friend dies, your mother dies, your father dies, who's g I give a that some guy died because he's always who's a congressman. You're just a little I'm a nobody. You're just a little plantation work of slave Andy. Yep. Yep. So going back to some of your top trends, Gen Z revolution, you better watch out for it. It's happening. All the details are there. Again, that guy Mandani won in Mandani won in New York. Gen Z revolutions in Nepal, Bulgaria, Kenya, Madagascar, Tanzania, on and on and on. Morocco, this one, and that one. Another one. Bitcoin or Bitcoin. The Trumpers are running the show. So, we're going to have to see what the Trumpsters are going to do to keep the Bitcoin going. We say it's going to stay hot. Presidential reality show. It's a trademark. Our trademark. That's what we have. And that's all it is. It's a reality show. And we took that trademark out when Trump ran back in 2016. He's putting on a show. If he says one thing and does another thing again only by the facts, you know, it's u is the guy that say he's going to bring peace on earth. Yep. According to the partners or there's another one Louisville Bezo first November report from the central business district represents a vacancy rate of more than 40% which is up 35% from a year ago. I mentioned this again to go back office building bust there's going to be market crash like we've never seen before. No one's talking about they're going to be failing on their loans and they don't have the dough to pay it back. And that's why you're looking at the repo scam going on now. So, what else do we got? Tech itis AI is going to change the whole game, man. People are going to be teched out again. They got it wrong in the King's James Bible when they say the meek shall inherit the earth. The geeks have inherited. It's only going to get a lot worse. And again, World War II, it will become official this year. They're ramping it up all over Europe. The little clown mers over there, the ch the chancellor of Germany. He said that um that Russia continues this war of against against Ukraine. And he's warning that Ukraine is not far from Germany and that Russian actions threaten not only Ukraine but the freedom and security of all of Europe. Can you believe the Of course. He's a ugly piece of like the rest of the pieces of You go to war against Russia, it's going to be the end of life on Earth. Who the are you kidding? This is serious. World War III has begun. There's going to be a false flag event that makes it quote official. Yep. And the precious metals, they keep shining on and shining on. What do we got here for the uh what was gold when I just got off the Where did I write this over here? Here we go. Let's see. Went up $47 an ounce was when on the air selling at $4,495 an ounce. It hit a high today of 4,497. Now again, the markets are still open as we're on the air. All right. Don't subscribe to the Trends Journal. It's $259 a week. How long have we been telling this is going to happen? Now, watch for a correction. Watch for a correction. Nothing goes straight up again. Go back to October. We warned about it. It happened. We're still very bullish on both. Prices are going to keep skyrocketing as we see it because international affairs are going to keep diminishing on levels we've never seen before. Silver's up nearly, oh my god, it's up nearly $5 an ounce, selling at $8124. Could you believe this? Could you believe this? Look at the way these prices are skyrocketing. It's telling you the dire socioeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Meanwhile, bombing Venezuela that are going to steal their oil. Hey, but American people are going to pay for it. I forgot about it. It's fascism. Merge of state and corporate powers. You're looking back at a uh at Brent crude. It's only selling at $6052 an ounce. A barrel rather. An ounce. A barrel. Greenberg iceberg. What's the difference? You go back last year around this time was about $80 high 70s. There's a recession was already begun. Germany's been in recession for two years. Barely going to have any growth this year, if they have any at all. Last year, rather in 2025. They'll make up some numbers. We grow 0.2%. Third largest economy in the world, biggest in Europe. There's more supply than demand. And the OPEC plus are pumping out more because they need the dough. End of story. So the equity markets and the precious metals, zero relationship. The equity markets are a gambling game run by the bigs. The 1% own according to the data some 54% of the stocks. All right. The top 10% you're about right 92%. The game is rigged. Black Rockck, Vanguard, State Street. How much of the S&P 500 do they own? You look at the numbers, they go up from from 80% to 40% to 30%. Don't know the real percent, but it's a high percent. Oh, don't forget tomorrow Cente and the judge. Very, very, very important. The judge has written articles about what Trump has done is criminal. These are criminal actions. We the people, the United States has absolutely no say. Hey, I'm the president. I'll tell you, bomb that country, kill that person, do that. Hey, am I next? Should I shut up? Are they going to kill me if I come out against what he's doing? What happened to this country where we got these clowns? A little jerk like Rubio Heget. How about that Steven Miller one? That is a happy looking cat. Oh, Greenland's next. Could you I mean, can't make this up unless you're a and the are in control in a country near you. So, more of the top trends, whole load of them. Yep. Midterm madness, militarization madness. Yep. On and on. the peace deals or is war peace off with their heads 2.0 on and on others.
