In this clip from our podcast, trend forecaster Gerald Celente explains why massive government spending, quantitative easing, and ever-evolving monetary tools have kept markets afloat far longer than most expected.

We discuss:
• Why markets haven’t crashed despite soaring debt and deficits
• The role of quantitative easing and zero-interest-rate policy
• Whether this cycle could resemble the Dotcom bust
• Celente’s views on gold, real estate, and capital preservation
• Commercial real estate stress, bank failures, and systemic risk

Celente argues that global economies have been artificially supported, delaying, not necessarily preventing, a deeper reckoning. Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation about macro forces, not short-term market noise.

Trend forecaster Gerald Celente is warning that the world isn’t heading for a soft landing; he’s forecasting a global depression, and he believes the AI bubble could burst in 2026.

And here’s what makes his warning feel uncomfortably realistic:

📌 62% of Americans own stocks (directly or through retirement accounts), meaning a major market drop hits Main Street, not just Wall Street.

📌 Americans now have record exposure to equities through their financial assets — a setup that can amplify panic when prices roll over.

📌 And the market itself is dangerously concentrated: the so-called “Magnificent Seven” now make up ~34% of the S&P 500, many of them deeply tied to the AI narrative.

Celente’s strategy is simple, but brutal: when the system breaks, he wants gold, guns, and a getaway plan.

Because in his view, the American population is perhaps less prepared for this crash than any other.

On a walk through the Bernese Alps, I feel like I'm watching the world’s money move in real time.

In 2025, M&A activity in Switzerland surged over 460%, topping $160 billion - one of the biggest deal booms anywhere on Earth. Why? Because in a world of political chaos, rising regulation, and currency debasement... capital is hunting for one thing: stability.

Switzerland offers what most countries can’t:

✅ Neutrality
✅ A trusted legal system
✅ A global finance hub
✅ One of the most stable currencies on Earth (the Swiss franc)
✅ And freedom from EU bureaucracy, without losing access to global capital markets

As uncertainty rises everywhere else, Switzerland is becoming the planet’s capital magnet.

In this in-depth conversation, Rick Rule breaks down how experienced investors think about commodity cycles, inflation, capital discipline, and why the next decade will look very different from the easy-money era of the past 40 years.

Rick Rule has spent over 50 years allocating capital across commodities and natural resources, navigating booms, busts, manias, and long stretches of investor apathy. This is not about hot picks or short-term trades. It's about process, arithmetic, and survival through volatility.

Rick explains how gold has already repriced yet still functions as essential monetary insurance, how inflation, interest rates, and purchasing power shape real investment outcomes, and why commodities move in cycles that reward the right psychological positioning. He walks through how cost-of-production math drives long-term returns in oil, natural gas, copper, and nickel, why volatility favors disciplined contrarian investors, and what decades of experience reveal about junior mining stocks, valuation, capital structures, patience, exit discipline, and common investor mistakes.

Gerald Celente is sounding the alarm, and San Diego’s commercial real estate market is starting to prove him right.

Downtown office buildings are trading at steep discounts, with some sellers taking ~50% losses just to escape the debt trap. This isn’t a normal downturn... It’s a valuation reset, driven by high rates, remote work, collapsing demand, and refinancing pressure.

One example: San Diego’s iconic One America Plaza sold for $120M, after being bought years earlier for about $300M — a brutal reminder that even prime towers aren’t safe in this cycle.

And with office vacancy still elevated, Celente believes the worst may still be ahead.

Watch this clip — because if San Diego is cracking... other cities may be next.

Gerald Celente warns investors that the AI bubble is about to burst and that the U.S. economy has become dangerously dependent on tech hype to sustain markets and confidence.

Celente says AI is real... but bubbles are real too.

Every trend eventually matures, and when it does, the crowd learns the hard way.

The scary part?
America isn’t just investing in AI; it’s psychologically addicted to it.

📌Americans now spend 4+ hours per day on mobile devices on average, and for younger people, it’s far higher.

📌China has rapidly grown into the AI superpower race, now producing more AI research publications than any other country and scaling AI across industry, surveillance, education, and manufacturing.

Celente’s bottom line:
China will win the AI race, and the U.S. could be left with the wreckage of a tech-driven “everything bubble.”

Watch this short clip, and decide for yourself if we could be nearing the next dot-com bust... or something bigger.

Gerald Celente is sounding the alarm, and what’s happening right now isn’t politics as usual... it could be the start of a generational breakdown.

Gen Z was promised a future: stable jobs, affordable living, upward mobility.

Instead they’re inheriting a softening job market, collapsing trust in institutions, and an economy where the cost of living rises faster than opportunity.

Then New York City delivered a message to the world:

Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election powered by youth voters, with data showing three out of four young voters backed him, and young women and youth of color supporting him at especially high levels.

Celente argues this isn’t confined to New York. It’s part of the same global pressure cooker now boiling over worldwide, as protests and riots spread, driven by economic stress, polarization, and frustration from younger generations who feel locked out of the system.

This interview connects the dots:

* the youth vote revolution

* the job market reality

* the global unrest trend

* and why Celente says the next era won’t be calm... it’ll be explosive.

👀 Watch the full interview with Gerald Celente, because if he’s right, Gen Z isn’t the next American Dream... It’s the next uprising.

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.
