1:04Hello, Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Radio Show. The good news and bad news about money. And we have a lot going on that's good and probably more bad. We're in a very critical time in the world history right now. Critical, critical time. So with that, I'm going to bring up a good friend, longtime friend, Gerald Cialante. And Gerald and I are the same age. And he is from the Bronx. And I went to school not too far from the Bronx. So I kind of understand guys like Gerald. I mean, the Bronx guys drive a lot of guys crazy. And Gerald is no exception. You know, you don't argue with them. I mean, you're from the Bronx.

1:46You're from the Bronx. I think I remember Gerald as this. is that I played basketball, you know, went to school in Great Neck, not too far away. And I had a couple of friends who were from the Bronx. And when we played basketball, if you can't hit from 30 feet out, don't play. And these guys were not nice about it, man. You can't hit from 30, get off the field, you know. They were not sportsmen about it. So I understand Gerald's personality type, big time. They tell it like they see it. they do not hold back. So Joan, I just saw you on a Daniella Gamboni show. I mean, I love her dearly. And she is one of the very pure, she knows what she's talking about, no BS person.

2:34So, you know, Daniella is fantastic. So you were just ripping and roaring. So I'll let you just rip and roar. But before you go on, tell us what the Trans Journal is and why people should subscribe to it. Journalism is dead. And thank you so much for having me on. And I greatly admire all you do and your forecasts are way beyond anybody else's out there. We look at the world. So example, again, the big companies own everything. You just saw it just happened, Ellison buying up CBS and now Hegsitt bragging that he hopes he gets CNN. And before, there's a t-shirt I did when Bill Clinton ran for office back in, I'm a political atheist just to make it clear.

3:28To me, it's a crime syndicate. If they were Italian, you'd call them a mafia. There's a t-shirt I did when Bill Clinton ran for office back in 1992. You wear a slick Willie. This is the slick Willie that wasn't worth a dime. It's worth, not what, about$130 million for the deals that he did? No, they're payoffs. Anyway, this is a slime ball that deregulated the Federal Communications Act in 1996. There were thousands of independent radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, magazines. Now six companies control all of the media. I call them prostitutes, media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government armasters.

4:15Oh, no, not my. Oh, how about the facts? Again, whether you like it, don't like it, agree or disagree. How about the woman they just brought on CNBC, Barry Weiss? I'm a, quote, pro-Zionist. I don't care what you're pro-anything. How about just give me the facts? I don't care what you believe in. Oh, I'm a liberal. I'm a Democrat. I'm a conservative. I'm a Republican. I like Fox. I like that most. How about being open-minded and being a nothing and just looking at the facts? So going back to the Trends Journal, the Iran War going on, the Israel War going on. We subscribe to Ha Ha That's the Israeli newspaper.

4:52We also go to Times of Israel, Ynet, Jerusalem Post, want to hear everything they have to say. Oh, haters for this. We go to Press TV, Tehran Times. We go to IRNA, ISNA. Want to hear what the Iranians have to say? We go to Arab News. We go to Al Jazeera. What have the Arabs have to say? We go to Euronews. We go to BBC. We go to Guardian. We go to France 24. We cover the world. And we say, this is what they're saying. This is our analysis and this is our trend forecast. And the bottom line, of course, is think for yourself. But these are the facts that they're all saying. So, for example, you know, just before we went on the air, I looked up press TV.

5:41And U.S. Israel will retreat from region empty handed IRGC Kurds force chief sets. You won't read this in the American news. Is he true? Is he false? Oh, no, no. We just obliterated him. There's nobody left. They got no missiles left. That's the side to hear from here. So that's what we do. And then we give our trend forecast and analysis. And that's what journalism used to be, but that's not what it is anymore. And it's for the grand total of$2.50 a week when you hit your subscribe button. You go to the Wall Street Journal, it's$5 a day, New York Times,$4 a day, and you're getting nothing. So the reason I subscribe to the Trans Journal is I want to hear it like it is.

6:31And, you know, Gerald and I are the same age and all this. And I'm wearing my, this is my Marine Corps shirt. I have two tours in Vietnam. And when I was overseas, Gerald, I was on a carrier. And the Marine Corps is called an MEU. MAU stands for Marine Expeditionary Unit. And so what's sitting in the Hormuz right now is one Marine Expeditionary Unit with a center around the ship called the Tripoli. I flew off the Tripoli in Vietnam. That's how old it is. Wow. And we'd sit there and we'd fly into Vietnam and fight and all this. And then we'd come back to the carrier and we have, and this is Walter Cronkite.

7:24And that's it, the CBS Evening News. And the pilots in the ready room be screaming, that didn't happen. That didn't happen. And so everybody thought Walter Cronkite was his most honorable man, but Gerald, as you know, he's paid to read the news. Yep, yep. And so right here at Arizona State University, He's a communist republic of Arizona State. They have the Cronkite Media Center or something like that. So the reason I like what Gerald does is that it's about more than the news. It's what you don't read is what you hear. And so what Gerald's transjournalist is about is not the news, but it's the most vital information you can understand and hear because we're sitting off Hormuz right now.

8:21We have China pumping around. We're the biggest national debt in world history. We can't pay our bills. And what the hell are we going to do about it? So, Gerald, that's why when you're on with Danielle Cambone's show and all this, and I love her dearly, you unleashed. So when you sit here looking at Hormuz, China and these crooked politicians, what do you want to say? You have free open reign, open mic. You know, I'd say, again, what's going to go on with the Strait of War movies, we're hearing different sides. And now Trump is saying, you won't want any ships go through there. And Iran says, you're not going to stop it.

9:06So, and Israel's ramping up this war. And what they're doing in Lebanon. Again, we only put the facts down. Again, we go to all the media. They've displaced 1.3 million people out of Lebanon. And the guy Katz, the military guy over there in the House, the parliament there, whatever they call it, he said that 600 ,000 of them will not be able to come back to their homes. And they're going to demolish the homes so they can have a safe zone. So imagine everybody listening, you have to get out of your house, they're going to destroy it and you can't come back. So again, there was an article in last week's New York Times that many people spoke about.

9:59And it was about Netanyahu and Mossad coming to the United States and in the situation room, which they should call it something else, a stupid room when you see the people that are in it. And Netanyahu takes the head of the table and tells America why we have to go to war with Iran. I mean, this is unprecedented. So Israel is going to keep ramping up this war. They don't want to cease fire. And again, we only read what they, what again from all sides and when trump said that there was a ceasefire agreement to the 10 points that iran made one of them was that israel had to stop attacking lebanon and then they said no no that wasn't part of the deal and you go back to the facts and it was according even to the americans in the beginning so they keep changing it and every day is a different trip So here's the story.

11:00Again, we only put the facts in the Trends Journal. You go back to President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24th. It was a Tuesday. It was 8 p.m. when he came out, or 9 p.m. The magazine came out a few hours earlier. It's right there. We said that it's highly likely that President Trump will bomb Iran over the weekend. He was going down. We had all the data from the polls. The equity markets were going down really bad. People forget this. Again, one of our top trends for 2026 is dot-com bust 2.0. Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach, old, age, and die. You don't invest all your dough in the infant that was born in 2022.

11:50And we only put the data in there about how these companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in losing money. Then what happened? AI's coming out and wiping out a lot of these software companies. Down goes these private equity groups. The people want their money back and they won't give it back to them. Oh, you only could get 5%. You could get 11%. The markets were going down. They were wiping out software companies, AI.

12:22And the poll ratings were terrible. I did a podcast with Judge Napolitano. That's Tuesday. He comes out on Wednesday. It's Salenti and the judge. You can see it. Two days later, I said, Trump's going to attack over the weekend. And that's exactly what happened. They do it over the weekend. Now, going back to what's going on and what's being said. Again, only the facts. Let's go back when Trump said, you got 48 hours. I'm going to give you 48 hours. 48 hours happened on a Monday. What happened just before the markets opened? Okay, we got a ceasefire deal. We got a peace deal. We're negotiating with them.

13:03Brent crude was up to$112 a barrel. Went down 12%. The equity markets in the red, they went up. There was no deal being made. They keep saying this stuff back and forth, back and forth, back and forth to rig the markets, to keep them going up from not going down. That's the way we see it. And so this thing is going to get, again, the problems were there already. Look what's going on with the private equity groups. It's right there for everybody to look at. They cannot pay the money back that the people want. They've over-invested in these things that the rich people put their dough in. So we're looking at a dot-com bust.

13:54And this is one of my books, Trend Tracking, Far Better Than Megatrends, Time Magazine, How I Became a Trend Forecaster. It's right here. the Iran War, Iran conflict back in late 1970s. People had no idea. This is when I became a political atheist. Jimmy Carter comes back from spending New Year's Eve with the Shah and his wife and said, quote, the Shah is the island of stability in the Middle East. This is when the revolution's going on. And the Bronx, we used to say, bullshit has its own sound. This thing's going to go down. And that's when I started playing the gold and oil futures markets. I bet$5 ,000 in each of them.

14:36I almost burned up to three quarters of a million dollars. But I'm a young guy. I was a lot of the dough. But anyway, going back, people had zero idea of the United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of Mohammed Mosadegh in Iran in 1953. because Mosaddegh had the gall to say the oil in Iran belongs to the Iranian people, not Anglo-Iranian oil, better known today's BP, or Standard Oil, better known today's ExxonMobil. No, it doesn't. Winston Churchill, the little clown boy, the little fat guy with the smoking cigars that couldn't fight his way, have a paper bag, and Kermit Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's grandson.

15:24The telegrams are there. They both got together, the MI6 and the CIA to overthrow the government. And then they brought in the Savaq, the secret police that made the SS look good. So the revolution began back in the late seventies. I said, this thing's for real and it's going to go on. But they just taught us to hate the Iranians without giving us any more information. Right. So the reason I want to general on board here, it's really a holy war again. Yep. It's Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Yep. And oil. And the problem with that is that Iran just said, we're going to start trading in yuan. Yep.

16:06In other words, we're going to stop, we're going to dump the U.S. dollar. Yep. And dump, trade in yuan. That's going to set up World War X, because you don't mess with the dollar. Everybody who messed with the dollar is dead. There was a guy named Qaddafi. He came out with the dinar, oil-based, what's that, I forgot the name, Libyan money. And then there was Saddam Hussein, who said, we're going to trade oil, not in dollars, but in euro. And he's dead. and go to war immediately when you mess with the dollar and our oil. So the reason I want to come back is the reason you want to understand the trans journal is you don't have to be a victim of ignorance.

17:00Because I follow people like Gerald Cilante, I hate to say this, but I'm getting richer than a dog. Because once you understand they were going to go to war, exactly as Gerald said, But I used to work for Standard Oil. I'm an oil tanker driver. And so my background is oil. I understand oil very well. I backed up the truck, and I bought more oil in North Dakota. So as they bombed Iran, which stands for Aryan, when they bombed Iran, the price of oil went up, and I'm getting richer. Now, this may sound pretty mercenary to most of you, but it's better than being a victim. So the reason we have Gerald Salente on here, you listen to his trends report, you can see what's really going on, not what's in the news, but what's really happening.

17:56So when we come back, we'll be talking more about Gerald Salente, what he sees, but the reason I have him on here is I don't want you to be a victim of fake news. Listen to what Gerald's saying, and then you can see the future better and you can make your own better business decisions. Like you should have bought oil instead of buying anything else because the price of oil went up and the rich got richer. We'll be right back.

18:27This isn't about a market crash. It's about how money is changing. Today, every payment is logged. Every transaction is tracked. And now AI is layered on top of the system to predict behavior. not just recorded. That's how control increases. Quietly, gradually, without headlines. When systems are under pressure, rules change. Access gets restricted, spending gets flagged, and savers lose purchasing power first. That's why gold and silver had mattered for centuries. They sit outside the digital grid. They can't be edited, frozen, or reprogrammed. If you want a clear explanation of what's changing and how people are positioning, Priority Gold.

19:54Welcome back. Private Kids talking rich.radio show. We have our guest today, Gerald Zalente is the founder of the Trends Journal and we're talking about the trends are not it's not in the news and there is you want to subscribe to the Trends Journal is you can't find out what's really going on and not the trends and like today I'm wearing my Marine Corps shirt we're at war in a place called the Hormuz and I was on board the Tripoli it was an aircraft carrier and I flew off that aircraft carrier we're still fighting about oil I mean because when I was fighting in Vietnam we were fighting for oxygen and petroleum oil I'm an oil man so everybody thinks about this it's about that but Gerald sees it differently I think we're in a global war again I think Gerald always says it was on Danielle Gamboni shows when in doubt we go to war so that's what I want you to talk about, Gerald, I mean, this is more than just Hormuz.

20:57It's more than just Venezuela. It's oil, but also Russia is the gas station of the world. So Russia's getting richer. Are we getting richer? Or are we just sending our military in there that we can't afford to send in there? So Gerald, we get the trend from a global perspective, and that's what you're on here for. You know, one of the things is that, you know, one of my sayings is that the 20th century was the American century, but the 21st century will be the Chinese century because the business of America is war and the business of China is business. This is a very different time. You had mentioned before about how they're trading in yuan now with oil, Venezuela and China.

21:50A lot of countries have had enough of the dollar, the death of the dollar we see coming. And you also have talked about America's debt level. Was there an article in Fortune magazine a few weeks ago that the real debt level is about 143 trillion when you put in social security or the other government debt? And now they're going deeper into debt as when they want another half a trillion dollars to build up the military. And you've been around the world. I mean, the infrastructure in America's third world, everywhere I drive, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, potholes everywhere. You go to China, high speed rail.

22:36Again, we only look at the facts the way they are. Let's go back 25 years ago before China came into the World Trade Organization. Who brought him in? Slick Willie. You got it. President Clinton, one of the biggest communists, sympathizer we ever had next to Barack Obama. Yep. He brought us all to... Remember NAFTA. Get the jobs out of here. Bring them down to Mexico. You get cheap labor and you pay me off for doing this. So let's go back. the western nations gave china all of the heavy industry and high technology they never had go back to the data look how great ford general motors bmw volkswagen look at the money they were making in china when they first opened up these companies over there oh the chinese people started buying those automobiles.

23:33Not anymore. Who's the biggest seller of EVs now? Oh, the Chinese. Earlier, I said about a dot-com bust. Before Slick Willy brought China into the World Trade Organization, 10 % of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college. Today, nearly 70%. And they're all AI high-tech addicted. And China's investing extremely heavily in AI, which again, like it, don't like it, want it, whatever it is going to be. So, Gerald, they're investing in education and AI, and we're going boom in the desert. We're just blowing millions and millions of dollars because I got my Marine Corps t-shirt on. That stuff costs money.

24:22Every time they fire that, One of those rockets is 10, I think 10 ounces or 10 pounds of silver in each one of them. America's going broad, fighting this war. Yep. And China and Russia are getting richer. That's what I want you to have you comment on, because this is really what's going on. I'm telling you, that's why we're saying there's going to be a dot-com bust. China's going to lead the world in this thing. This country, we became the country that our founding fathers fought against, going back to the dollar. The sun never sets on the British Empire. We slaughter people all over the world.

24:58We never stop. And what happened after World War I? All those wars cost them so much money. The pound went down, the dollar came up. And now the United States, war after war, after war, after war, the dollar's going down. It's going to go down because of all these wars, and there's going to be an alternative currency we see. And we believe it may be gold backed. And that's the other thing. One of the reasons gold is going down. Look what just happened with Turkey. Selling, what,$20 billion worth of gold? Because their currency is going so way down, they got to back it up. Same thing with India, their currency going.

25:40This war is hurting the whole world. Yes. There's going to be... The other reason gold prices are going down is because when there was a lot of speculation when it hit the$5 ,600 an ounce mark. Now those people had to sell their gold because they're losing money in all of these stocks. They got to cover their losses. So we're very bullish on gold and very bullish on silver. So this is kind of my question to you. How close to World War are we? It's already begun. We're there right now, right? It's begun. There's going to be a... I tell everybody, Google up Franklin Roosevelt seizes Japanese assets.

26:24Just Google it up. You'll get history today. On July 24th, 1941, July 26th, 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt seized all Japanese assets in America. You know why? Those dirty Japanese invaded French Indochina. You mean Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam? Are you calling it French Indochina? Well, we're in 26 other countries too. We're in Algeria and Morocco. And again, you could Google it up, History Today, Mainstream Magazine. Remember, the Great Depression's going on. The Great Depression. The Dutch East Indies and the UK, United Kingdom, Dutch East Indies. What the hell are the Dutch doing in Indonesia?

27:10Oh, the same thing with the British. Sun never sets on the British Empire, stealing everything. The United States, the Dutch, and the English cut off three quarters of Japanese trade. They stole their money and cut off 88 % of their imported oil. They only import 98%. Okay, they had no oil. You cut off their trade and you stole their money. I can't understand why they bombed Pearl Harbor a couple of months later. Right. So, Gerald, let's get up present time, man. Please, please, please. What's going to happen? That's what we want to know. Because right now, the biggest secret being held is people are dumping bonds to buy gold.

27:56Yep. Nobody's talking about that. Yep. And the financial planners are telling everybody, oh, buy bonds because they're safe. Well, Japan and China are dumping our bonds and they're buying gold. What do you know about that? You're 100 % correct. I say World War III has already begun. And I'm concerned about nuclear because there's that thing called the Samson option where Israel says if they lose, they go nuclear. And they have between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads. So how does a person protect themselves? As soon as I understood what you were saying, I said, okay, I spent a million dollars to buy oil in North Dakota.

28:41And when the price of oil went up, I get richer. That sounds mercenary, but it's better than being a victim. So if you're sitting in North Dakota right now, and they're bombing out there in Iran, and China is not our friend, definitely. And Russia is not our friend. Russia is the gas station of the world. What does an American do sitting in North Dakota? Again, what I suggest is what you're saying. You buy the futures. And again, gold and silver to me are very, very good. And oil prices are just going to keep spiking if this war keeps going on. And again, they say one thing and another thing happens.

29:27And they're doing it to me by the facts to keep oil prices down as low as they can. And the market's going up, but they're not going to work. So if you're the trans guy, what do you see over the horizon? What's coming next? We already took out Maduro in Venezuela. We have a Marxist as city mayor of New York, Mondami. We have a Marxist as governor of Arizona, and jobs are leaving the governor of California. They're leaving in droves to go to Florida. People are just running from Marxism all over the world. what do you see happening? Because that's how I see it because I'm a former U.S. Marine. I went to military school.
