Jim Rogers warns that every empire has a clock.

Britain once ruled the world, but costs mounted, debt grew, and the sun eventually set on the pound’s dominance. The U.S. is repeating many of the mistakes, including massive deficit spending that eventually led to Britain's fall.

Today, America’s debt has exploded past $38 trillion, and the world is starting to notice.

Rogers says he doesn’t know how this ends, but he’s confident it won’t be good, especially for the next generation.

And while the reserve-currency debate heats up, investors are voting with their money:
Gold just hit a fresh record around $4,629/oz, while silver surged above $88/oz. Many central banks worldwide are abandoning the dollar and turning to gold.

Jim Rogers reminds investors of an old truth, that when uncertain times come, and they always do, "It’s good to have "...a little gold in the closet, a little silver under the bed.”

Most people forget that the United States was literally built on precious metals. The Coinage Act of 1792 established the dollar on a silver-based system (with gold coinage too), and by the end of the 19th century, America shifted toward gold — formally locking it in with the Gold Standard Act of 1900.

Gold and silver have survived every empire, every currency experiment, every crisis — and they’re still here, soaring to new all-time highs as you read this on January 12th, 2026.

In this clip, we explore why these metals mattered then and why they matter again today.

Watch the full episode to uncover more of Jim Rogers' timely wisdom.

America’s debt is now over $38 TRILLION, and the interest bill alone now exceeds $1 TRILLION per year.

That means the U.S. is borrowing just to stay afloat and paying interest as if it’s a permanent expense of empire.

In this clip, legendary investor Jim Rogers warns he doesn’t know how this ends, but he’s convinced it won’t be good for his children. And as an American citizen, he says he’s genuinely concerned about what’s coming.

This isn’t politics, it’s math.

Watch the full episode to understand what this debt spiral means for markets, currencies, and hard assets.

In this clip from our viral full-length podcast (recorded December 12, 2025), Celente reflects on:

- How he correctly warned of the dot-com bust
- Why today’s AI-driven market enthusiasm shows similar bubble dynamics
- The growing concentration of corporate and state power
- Why history shows that when economic systems strain, governments often turn to conflict

Celente argues that markets, politics, and global power structures are becoming increasingly distorted, and that investors should understand the historical patterns playing out beneath the headlines.

Gold miners have ripped higher, but are they finally priced correctly… or is the next leg of the bull market just getting started?

In this episode, Aaron Hoddinott chats with Garrett Goggin (Founder & Chief Analyst at The Golden Portfolio) for a rapid-fire, numbers-first breakdown of what’s driving the precious metals trade right now, and where the real value may still be hiding after the rally.

Garrett explains the framework he used to spot what he previously called the “Golden Anomaly”: a disconnect between the gold price and what certain miners were actually generating in margins and free cash flow. We revisit the big winners from last year, then dig into what’s changed, from rates and deficits to central bank demand and the new intersection between gold and tokenization.

Jim Rogers makes a contrarian but clear case: despite massive debt, deficits, and long-term structural flaws, the U.S. dollar remains the world’s primary safe haven, because there is still no real alternative.

In this clip, Rogers explains why capital continues to rush into the dollar during periods of stress, even as investors acknowledge its weaknesses. While he recognizes the role of gold and silver as stores of value, he argues that no other currency today has the depth, liquidity, or trust required to replace the U.S. dollar.

This conversation explores currency dominance, global capital flows, and why “the least ugly option” still matters in times of uncertainty.

Gold investor Garrett Goggin explains why central banks are aggressively stockpiling gold, and what it potentially signals about the future of the U.S. dollar.

Central banks have been accumulating gold, and many may be preparing for a new reserve currency system, potentially backed in part by gold.

From BRICS to the Shanghai Exchange, Goggin breaks down why this shift matters, how it impacts global markets, and why gold’s role is changing fast.

Europe is drifting into a dangerous place, and most people don’t feel it yet.

It lacks the power to seriously confront Russia, is watching its companies be bought up by China, and now stands on the sidelines as the United States discusses strategic moves, from energy to the potential annexation of Greenland.

At the same time, Europe’s industrial base continues to erode. Factories are closing. Energy costs remain high. Strategic industries are disappearing.

Yet the continent’s wealthiest citizens still travel, dine, and invest as if nothing is wrong.

This isn’t a sudden collapse.

It’s a slow fade, masked by comfort, subsidies, and denial.

Europe needs to wake up, and quickly.

Note: This video was filmed the day before the tragedy in Crans-Montana. We are praying for the victims, their families, and all those affected by this terrible event.

Chris Vermeulen explains his Revesting approach, a rules-based framework designed to rotate between equities, bonds, and currencies depending on market conditions.

When equities are trending higher, Chris prefers broad exposure through ETFs. When momentum fades and risk rises, the focus shifts toward bonds and cash-like positions, prioritizing capital preservation over buy and hold.

This discussion is about market cycles, trend behavior, and risk awareness, not predictions and not investment advice. It’s an educational look at how one professional thinks about staying aligned with changing market environments.
