Hello everybody. This is Gerald Senti and it's Thursday, December 4th, 2025. And here are some of today's trends in the news. And remember, the trend is your friend. And we're giving you what nobody anywhere, any place in the world, no magazine comes close to it. If you could show us one, let us see it. And if you don't believe me, look at the comments from the people that subscribe. We're giving you history before it happens. So, you know, people ask me, you know, this world's going to It's going to What'll change it? He said, the only thing I see changing it is the Renaissance. The Renaissance happened after some 60% of Europe was wiped out by the black plague. Why, that's racist. How dare you call it black plague? They call it that. They take it easier, right? Anyway, the people are killing themselves. A filthy sanitation and the Renaissance happened. They used to say in Italy at the beginning of the Renaissance, al raalant in the manner of the Romans and the ancients to describe the quality of the work. Now again, we're talking about what the 13400s and they're going back to the Romans and the ancients to describe the quality of their work. And look at the that they got now. Hey, remember urban renewal? All of us Americans had destroyed all the neighborhoods everywhere. Put up projects in the Bronx or the Bronx Expressway. I forgot about that one. and Kingston that down in the Rondal destroy the beautiful area one but all over cuz you got pieces of political running the world in a country tree near you. So we need a renaissance because the facts don't mean anything to the people. As we say in the Bronx, people don't know dick about So what do we need? Why? To show you the decline of society and why you should not subscribe to the trends journal but pay >> >> $5 for the weekend Sunday edition of the Turletic Paper Record. All right. This is the that those scumbags say is style. Look at this picture. Look at this. Could you believe this? Look at it. Look at it real good. Hey, isn't that chick really hot with them glasses and the scap boots on head over there and the other one with all the stupid tattoos over here and the ugly t-shirt? Yep. Yep. They got the balls TO CALL THAT STYLE. The whole world is going down because you got scumbags IN CHARGE. WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE SCUMBAG? I like Biden better than Bush. I like Obama better than Trump. I like Mcronone the little gutsone. HOW ABOUT SAROSI? THAT ARROGANT little scumbag prick over there in France. Oh no, no, now we got Merch. Oh yeah, Merch over there in Germany. Oh, you forgot Schulz before him. HOW ABOUT LITTLE BORIS JOHNSON? Remember Boris Johnson? The ugliest LITTLE BALLISH PRICK THAT your best cartoonist couldn't invent. Oh, now we got Star. All right. The only thing that's going to do change it to me is a renaissance. We got to bring this spirit up. End the story. What a freak show. And speaking of the freak show, let's take a look at the markets. Let's see. The S&P and NASDAQ, they were up a tiny bit today because the Wall Street gamblers are betting. Yep. 85% chance of a cut next Wednesday by the Federal Reserve. Banks the bandits. Yep. Artificially propping it up. Artificially And it's going to prop it up. It'll prop it up only for a little bit. The bust is going to happen. We're going to see the worst worst worst worst financial crisis. It's going to be the greatest depression because they artificially propped us up to fight the COVID war. Pumped in trillions of dollars of worthless money backed by nothing and printed on nothing. Oh, they're going to go CBDC, too. So they're going to every thing about you so they can steal all your money in the name of taxes. They're not taxes. IT'S THIEVERY. YOU GOT IT. THIEVERY. SO SCUMBAG POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS don't have to walk. So anyway, what else? Uh the S&P was up 0.1%. The NASDAQ that is flat 0.22. The Dow is down just a bit, 31, almost 32 points. And um we're getting some more of the information here. The big news is a 25 point rate cut. Yep, that's this that's what they're saying there. Yeah, that's great. Tomorrow, the Commerce Department, the scumbag lion bastards and are going to release the the numbers for consumer spending and income personal consumption expenditures. Then the University of Michigan comes out with their consumer survey for December tomorrow. See what happens. So, Bitcoin again was way down. Now, it's up there. It's selling for around $92,000 a coin. We said we're bullish on this because the Trump team's in it. Again, people say we're full of You know, you. I don't care what you think. We don't tell you what to think, but don't tell me I'm full of I go by the facts, All right. Oh, the Witoffs. Oh, the Jerkoff's kid. Oh, yeah. He's in it. OH, LUTNICK. OH, YOUR COM. YO, HIS KID'S in it. Oh, the Trump family's in it. Grow the up. It's a crime syndicate. So, we're bullish on it. and gold. And gold was up just some as we went on the air some five bucks trading at $4,27 an ounce. Was up as hard as $4,220 earlier today. Silver was down about a buck 40 per ounce, trading at 5703. Still way up there. So here's the deal. People can't afford to buy gold. And the people that know how bad it is want precious metals. Silver's cheaper. You could buy silver. All right, that's pushing the price up, too. And silver's going to be using this AI world, high-tech. So, we're very bullish on both of them. And as I've made a,000% clear. It's in your trends journal. Gold has to solidify over $4,200 an ounce. It got a trade in the four 2004 402 four, you know, up to the eight 2 uh uh uh 2,280. Got to trade in that range and stay there for a couple of weeks and then it'll move higher. So, it's still bullish long term and it could go down another 500 bucks if it starts going below 3,900. So, that's the way we see it. And uh Brent crude it went up a little bit over a dollar a barrel. It's still only selling at $63.35. That's down 20 bucks almost from last year at this time. And they say because um quote Ukraine peace talks stalling. Yeah. No We said it was from the beginning. Just hey, how about the peace talks? How about the ceasefire over there in Israel as they keep slaughtering people? Oh, I forgot Lebanon. How many hundreds of times did Israel violate that one? It's all There is no ceasefire and no peace because you got pieces of running the show in a country near you. And what else do we have here? Layoff announcements this year hit 1.1 million. That's the highest number since the beginning of the COVID war in 2020. Oh, but the markets went up. The markets went up. Oh, you're going to lower interest rates. We'll get more cheap money if we keep the Ponzi scheme going. So, shut the up, son. You ready for this? 50 The total is 54% higher than the same 11-month period a year ago. Yep. again the highest since the CO war. Yep. In November they've risen above 70,000 only twice since 2008. That's the great recession and in 2022. Yep. That's according to CH an Challenger Gray and Christmas. So you can see the problems here. They're real. What else? Very important. You know, we have whole sections in your trends journal on AI. And as we said, AI, we own you. It's the future. Love it, hate it, want it, don't want it. Traditional industries trail in Taiwan's AI boom. This is from the Financial Times. Taiwan is enjoying an artificial intelligence fuel boom that pushed the gross domestic product up above 8%. and the numbers coming out in America that the US GDP's gone up some nearly 50% because not didn't go up 50% but the number that went up it was juiced up some 50% because of spending on AI. So this guy, Kevin Chung, an engineer at a machinery factory in the new Taipei Industrial Park, has not been feeling much benefit. Quote, "The economy's pretty bad." Chung said, "A cluster of small factories, warehouses, and offices. All our costs are going up. A lot of our customers have gone out of business. Demand for AI and consumer electronics in Taiwan exports soared 32%. Yep. Pushing GDP growth up 8.21%. So you got to look at these numbers. The rest of the economy is doing lousy. Output motor vehicles and parts was down 8%. And furniture sales slid 12%. One of the guys said, "Companies do not invest except for AI sectors." Again, the boom is going to bust. We're first to call it back in January 28th of this year and the cover of our magazine on February 5th. All right. Ready or not, here it comes. Combust 2.0. 0 India stocks fall behind peers by widest margin in decade. Indian stocks have underperformed other emerging markets by the widest margin of more than three decades. You ready? As global investors pivot towards China and equities linked to the artificial intelligence boom. China's going to lead the world in AI. But you're seeing what's going on here. Everything else is going down. AI is going up. AI isn't you don't go shopping for AI. You don't need AI. Or maybe you do now. They're going to have you eat it just like you know AI will keep you healthy. So um India's weakness relative performance the worst since 1993. So again it's all about it's all about AI. It's pumping it up. How SD Lauder and Google taught AI to sell fragrances. Okay. Startup aims to use AI to design chips. All right. Amazon releases AI agents. It says can work for days at a time. Between robotics and AI, jobs are going to go. The worst is yet to come and the young people know it. AI majors hold a law for students. This is from the Times. Artificial intelligence is the hot new college major. And it goes on to say what's going on. And again, young people are broken busted. That's why this guy Mandani, the little boy of nothing that nobody ever heard of a year ago, became the mayor of New York City, the biggest city in America. All right. That's how desperate the people are. The markets have no relation to Main Street and AI is going to make a very bad situation very worse. And again, China, as we said before, they were brought into the World Trade Organization by slimeball bill Clinton. Slick will one of my t-shirts back in 1992 when that scumbag ran for office. Beware of Slick Will. Yep. before he bought China into the World Trade Organization. Again, 10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college. Today, nearly 70%. They're going to lead. And when all the when so many Western manufacturers went to China to get cheap labor, they gave China all the heavy industry and high-tech knowledge they never had. And they're very intelligent people. Now, they own it. They don't need you. And here are more facts about how China's leading. China's plug-in hybrids race ahead in Europe. Okay. And then on to the international scene. Maybe that ceasefire Israel strikes at tent camps in southern Gaza, killing five, including two children. Israel forces and illegal settters launched at least 2,144 attacks on Palestinian civilians and their property across the occupied West Bank in November. All right. They're not settlers, they're invaders. I'm tired of those words settlers. They're invaders in violation of the Geneva Convention and Article 242 of the United Nations. So shove this settler up your ass and stop this t stealing our money to keep doing this to the Palestinian people. Yep. Again, this isn't reported in the American media. That was from uh isna, the Toron newspaper. What else? Oh, Ukraine strikes chemical plants in Russia. We said they're going to ramp up this war. There's going to be a false flag event. They're not going to have a peace deal. And Europe is going to support it. You want to know why? Arms producers increased revenue by 6% last year. The world's biggest weapons producing companies saw a 5.9% increase in revenue from sales of arms and military services last year as demand was fed by wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as other countries. As I said, what's your cover your magazine this week? When all else fails, they take you to war and it's failing. Only the military industrial complex is getting richer. This is an article in the toilet paper today. Europe wants to spread the word Russia is blamed for sabotage. And they go on to show that there's no proof. They're selling propaganda. again. They taught us to hate Russia all our lives. I'm a kid. They had us hiding under a desk in case an atom bomb went off. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a little piece of scumbag in Poland, accused Russian agents last month of planting explosives on a rail line. He called it per quote perhaps the most dangerous situation for the security of Poland state in years even though no one was hurt. All right, that's the And it just keeps getting worse. Oh, this is one I missed that put put in the right place. Uh this is from um latest news. An audit by Israel's public defender found conditions for Palestinian security prisoners deteriorated severely after the attack on October 7th, including extreme overcrowding, hunger, and near daily beatings for many. That's coming from the Israelis, what they're doing to the Palestinians. Can you imagine if the Palestinians were doing this to the Jewish people? Oh my god, how terrible. Yep. It found that the prisoners in the facilities suffered from extreme starvation. Prisoners also were restricted access to drinking water. At least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since 2000, excuse me, since October 2023 by Physicians for Human Rights. Of that total, the highest group ever recorded, 46 died in the prison service and 52 in other facilities run by the military. Oh, this was reported in the Wall Street Journal. Okay. No outrage. And what else? India decrees smartphone makers must pre-install security app. We're mentioning this because that's the new world. They're going to know everything about you. And again, I don't carry a cell phone. They're not smartphones. They're slave phones. Everything about you. Everything about you. That's the new world disorder. And to show you again why I believe Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that the Trump family and the other gang members are involved with, Trump's AI and cryptos are benefits himself and his allies. Yep, you got it. So there we go. It's very sad what's going on and it's only going to get much worse. And again, you got to watch the article, the interview, please, that I did with Judge Andrew Npalitano yesterday. It's it's again, it's about America going to war as as Trump lied his way into office as a peace candidate and he turned out to be nothing more than another piece of crap candidate. And uh again, when I say the crypto gang, I'm not talking about the Trump family, of course. I'm talking about the people that are pushing it from other sides. This is Trump. We want to have peace on Earth all over. That's when he was running for office in September of 2024, making up this that they're attacking these boats in 1500 miles away, these little motorboats to get drug dealers. And they won't show us any proof. You don't kill people like that. It's against the law. It's against humanity. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. Lied about that, too. Again, there's the facts. Said one thing, did another thing. So support the Trends Journal because we're supporting you. We're doing everything we can, but we need more people. I get blacklisted from more and more people. Alex Jones took me off. I knew him for years. Used to do an hour show. One after another, they don't want me on because I won't suck up or bow down. I only give out the truth in trends. We only put the facts down. And the motto of the Trends Journal is think for yourself. Thanks for tuning in. See you soon.
