Gerald Celente has forecast trends for 46 years, called the dot com crash in print in 1999, and opened his first appearance on the show by saying he has never been more worried about where the world is heading.
His rule from four decades of watching: "When all else fails, they take you to war."
His warning runs through 1941.
That July, Washington froze Japan's assets, then joined Britain and the Dutch in cutting three quarters of its trade and nearly 90% of its oil.
Pearl Harbor came months later. Iran today sits under frozen assets, a severed central bank, and a naval blockade, and in his read, nations squeezed that hard eventually hit back.
He also explained why Tehran does not fold: 1953, when the US and Britain toppled Iran's elected prime minister over oil, a coup most Americans never learned happened.
The mistrust never healed, and in his count neither Rome, nor Vietnam, nor Iraq, nor Afghanistan rewarded the confident invader.
His bookend is economic.
Markets priced like 1999, Korea's main index already down 30%, and his forecast of a crash worse than the 1930s.
Which is exactly where his opening rule points next.
