Nate Silver Explains How The Democratic Party Has Split Into Three Warring Factions 1) “The Progressive Left” - Zohran, AOC, Bernie, the DSA, this group is the furthest left 2) “The Abundance Libs” - Ezra Klein, Derek Thompson, this group is the most centrist 3) “The Resistance Libs” - Newsom, Biden, Kamala, this group sits between progressives and abundance libs “One is ‘The Left.’ The avatars might be Zohran, AOC, Bernie Sanders. On the other side, there are ‘The Abundance Libs’ kind of named after Ezra Klein, right? They are more pro-free market. They sometimes deny that they're centrist. I think they are pretty centrist. They are the ones who are very concerned with California as a case study of poor governance. In the middle you have what I call ‘The Resistance Lib.’ They're the ones who say they are really fed up with the Democratic establishment, but are still often very partisan and often cheerleading for the blue team. They're the ones who thought that Joe Biden was railroaded out of the 2024 race, for example. They're really Gavin Newsom's constituency. Why is Gavin Newsom going out of his way to support and endorse the Bidens, when Biden, even among Democrats, is not all that popular anymore? Everyone else wants to move on. Well, it's because it's a signal to the resistance libs that, like, ‘I have your back. I'm a fighter. The reason why we didn't win in 2024 was because the media was unfair to Biden and/or because Kamala Harris was a Black woman. So pick a white guy who will fight for you and tweet in all caps.’” Nate Silver --------------------------------------- Thanks to our partners for making this possible! Starting a business?

Former Intel CEO explains what broke the company: We let the bean counters push out the technologists @jason: “You spent a long time at Intel, 34 years. Probably one of the greatest American companies ever, and then absolutely went off the rails. What were the mistakes?” Pat Gelsinger: “I remember when I joined the executive staff for the first time, probably 15 of the 20 people that were in the room were PhDs. It was just that technical. One of the things that went off the rails was when it started to be run by business people, as opposed to technical people.” Jason: “The bean counters, the finance people.” Pat Gelsinger: “Yeah. In the 5-6 years before I came back, Intel gave $100 billion to shareholders (in dividends and buybacks). What I wouldn't have done for another $100 billion. (Intel) hadn't built a new factory in a decade when I got there. It's like, how can you not be building? How could you not buy EUV machines? There's just all of these things that you would only do as a technologist because the economics behind them by themselves were not good. If you look at the great technology companies today, they're deeply technical… And when you're making these hardcore technical decisions that affect billions of dollars, you don't do that through a spreadsheet.” --------------------------- Thanks to our partners for making this possible!

Former Intel CEO: China Could Cripple Taiwan in 3 Weeks, Without Invading, and Trigger a Second Great Depression Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: “Now let's make it ugly for a second. The island of Taiwan has less than three weeks of energy reserves.” @jason: “Wow.” Pat Gelsinger: “That should just put a chill in everybody's spine, because after three weeks the island browns out. When you turn off a fab, it doesn't come back on for 90 days. The economic impact of a brownout of Taiwan is greater than the Great Depression. (China doesn’t) need to do anything, a shot to be fired, (they) just need to say, ‘Great, no energy for three weeks.’ No LNG, right? That's how the island runs. That is scary. Let's remind each other that I think China has blockaded the Taiwan Straits seven times over the last four years. This isn't a theory. Their intentions have been clear over a sustained period of time. We need more resilient supply chains.” ------------------------------ Thanks to our partners for making this possible!

David Friedberg: California’s Voting System Looks Fraudulent, But It’s Working Exactly as Designed david friedberg believes California’s extremely loose election laws enable “appointments” not free elections. Why? The voting data in LA makes no statistical sense. “ Pratt's post-election mail-in ballots declined by 1/3. So statistically, the population of people that send in their ballots late reduced for Pratt by 1/3, increased for Nithya Raman by 80%, and Karen Bass 10% less, if you just look at the mail-in ballots before and after election day as a comparison. I don't know if there's a sociopolitical way that you can assess those statistics and assume that these are individuals casting their individual vote for who they think should be Mayor of LA. Basically, the concentration of incremental votes that Nithya Raman got came around the Skid Row area in Los Angeles. But when you look at the basic statistics of what happened in person, mail-in before, mail-in after Election Day, it becomes a real statistical quagmire on how did this sort of a sociopolitical shift happen in such a way that it did? Now, there was a report published, and they highlighted the 2018 California midterm elections and the challenges that they saw arise in that midterm election because of some of the legislative changes that were made. First, California Assembly Bill 1921 legalized the practice of unlimited ballot harvesting in the state. What that means is that any individual in the state of California has the right to go and collect ballots from any other individuals, regardless of relationship, fill them out, and send them in. California, two years later, 18 months later, also passed a law that made it permanent that every person registered in the state of California would get a ballot, so tens of millions of ballots then get mailed out. Then there was another series of laws that were passed that said anyone can register to vote. You don't need to prove your citizenship. You can use a gym membership card as an example. So anyone can register to vote. There is no proof of ID when you get a ballot. There is no demonstration that the person who fills out the ballot has anything to do with the individual who's supposed to be voting that ballot, and it is legal for an individual to go out and collect hundreds or thousands of ballots, ship them in, and they will all qualify in these kind of mail-in ballot voting processes. So there's nothing illegal or fraudulent going on. In fact, the system is operating exactly as intended. It has been set up and structured in a way that with the right construct, you can get an individual appointed, not elected, but appointed to a particular role in government under a, quote, ‘free election’ in California.”

Mark Cuban: “A lot of data centers will be turned into pickleball courts.” Mark Cuban: “What's happening now is the market leaders, Google, Meta. etc, they're borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars. And there's already a private credit problem right now. Just layer on private credit, and then you have these huge companies that have cash flow, but they're spending all their cash flow on CapEx, and then they're borrowing on top of that. That's planning for perfection. And that's going to be hard. And we're building these data centers, and if there's a price-performance curve on AI that minimizes the power requirements, there's going to be a lot of data centers that are going to be turned into pickleball courts. Everybody thinks that there's going to be so much more utilization. And there will be. It'll just scale like everybody expects. But there's going to be technological breakthroughs as well. Just like we saw fiber back in the day, it was all about putting in fiber. Then it went from 1GB fiber, to 10GB, to 100GB, and then there wasn't a fiber problem anymore. There wasn't a bandwidth problem anymore.” @jason: “It was quite the opposite. We had dark fiber that people bought for pennies on the dollar.” Cuban: “Just sitting there, right? And how is it not going to be the case that we don't get the same price performance improvements on the AI side and on the data center side?” ------------------------------ Thanks to our partners for making this possible!

The Democrats have stolen an election, yet again. Do not let the mainstream media and the left gaslight you in this moment. They are cheaters. They stole the LA mayoral election. The late mail-in ballot numbers are—quite literally—unbelievable. There is no way that this no-name councilwoman got 22% of the in-person vote on election day (plus the mail-in ballots that arrived before election day) and then magically, organically won DOUBLE this percentage—40-45%—of the late mail-in ballots. Coincidentally, 40-45% was just enough to pass Spencer Pratt...isn't that peculiar? She's losing in her own district as she's getting this enormous amount of votes. I find that to be strange. I also find it strange that there were 12,000 more votes for LA mayor than for California governor... Also, on election day, the in-person voter turnout was actually relatively low and the late mail-in ballots was nearly a record high. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt—whose fundraising skyrocketed in the days before the election—supposedly completely bottomed out from 30% on election day to 20% of late mail-in ballots?! The left is so audacious, they do not even try to hide it. They know they'll get away with it. This is why they fight tooth and nail against all common sense election integrity laws because they need every single aspect of the election to be chaotic and vulnerable, in order to make their fraud so difficult to detect that it's virtually untraceable. We're supposed to just sit here and believe that Nithya Raman got TWICE the percentage of votes in late mail-in ballots as she did on election day?!

Useful Idiot Kristen Welker's PATHETIC defense of California election fraud DEBUNKED Larry O'Connor takes Welker to task for the rigged system she's dismissing. "The real scandal coming out of California right now is quite possibly every single thing we are seeing transpire before our very eyes is 100% legal." O'Connor explains that anyone with a functional brain can see what's happening in California and know that the election is being stolen. "You can steal something and not break the law. And that's what's happening here. They are stealing it without actually breaking the law." As a former Californian resident, O'Connor breaks down the entire process. "This is the election system in California as we speak. Anybody who is a registered voter gets a ballot mailed to them, and you register to vote because you walk into a DMV, and you automatically get registered no matter what. And as you know, California leads the nation in giving driver's licenses and registrations to illegal immigrants, people who are in the country illegally, and they're getting driver's ed. They're getting commercial driver's license in California right now. And when you go through the process, they register you to vote. And there is no check for citizenship. There's no check for ID, there's no check for anything. And they'll register to vote. And you're on the voter rolls." O'Connor even stated he hasn't lived in Los Angeles County since 2012, and he's STILL being notified by email that his ballot has been mailed to him. "I don't know who's got it. Whatever address I used to live in has has the Lawrence O'Connor ballot, and I'd love to know if I voted. I probably have without anyone knowing it." And then comes the issue of ballot harvesting... "In California, individuals can go and collect ballots from anyone. They can go and knock on the doors and say, 'Hey, give me your ballot. I'll take care of it for you' legally. And those people who knock on your door and collect your ballot, they call it 'ballot harvesting,' they can work for political entities. They can work for political action committees." "They can go and they can pick and choose what ballots they want to collect. And they bring them in or they don't. And every mail in ballot, there is no ID required for every single mail in or drop box ballot. All you've got to do is sign the ballot. But of course, it would be discriminatory to allow somebody who is illiterate and can't write their name to not vote." "So when you sign your ballot, you can just make a mark. You can make a smiley face if you want, but it's witnessed. Don't worry. There's a little box for a witness to sign. But of course, there's no name associated with a witness. It's just a signature. And oh, by the way, when those ballots are collected, the witness signature isn't checked." "They just check that there is a signature for a witness. So, of course, there's nothing keeping people from making a little mark on the signature for the voter. And then that same person squiggling the witness box, putting it in an envelope and then having those votes come in. Oh, what else are they doing in California? Well, they allow ballots that come in as late as a week after Election Day to be counted. That doesn't seem right. Oh. It's okay. The ballot had to be mailed or put into a Dropbox or delivered by Election Day. But of course, if it's not postmarked, they'll overlook that. If there's no postmark at all on the envelope, they'll just look at whatever date you put on it and they'll trust you, and then they'll count the ballots." "Every single thing I just described for you is accurate and legal. They're not breaking the law. They're following the laws that they have written so that they can get away with this garbage and everyone knows it." L A R R Y

Catherine Austin Fitts: "In gold, the demand for physical reflects a demand for a core position...Silver is...different... because you have so much growing industrial demand... and they have to take physical delivery...But... people are [realizing] inflation is not going away." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from a discussion with Miles Franklin (Miles Franklin Precious Metals) posted to YouTube on January 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "In gold, the demand for physical reflects a demand for core position. Okay. And not just by individuals, but by institutions and businesses. Silver is a very different story because you have so much growing industrial demand for silver and they have to take physical delivery. You can't use silver paper to, to build a data center. So part of it is the industrial demand, including national security issues. "But then also if you're going to monetize gold being driven by the people wanting more and more core position, silver ultimately is going to be monetized too. It'll lag, but it's coming in. They want physical. And if you look at the leverage in this, the paper to silver leverage is much greater than gold. "So for two years, you probably don't know this, I'm asked about gold and I just say I'm buying silver. And people keep saying, why are you buying silver? And it's on sale. I'm buying silver because it's on sale. And so the other day I kept saying to our team, I said, I think the sale's over. "But we knew at some point that that leverage was between paper and, whatever. Anyway, so let me keep going. The investment position, the miners have clearly lagged, so they're catching up. But then finally people are beginning to realize, you know, inflation is not going away. "There are many reasons why it could get worse and they need to protect themselves. And so they're going to the trouble of educating themselves. It's a big, for somebody who's never done precious metals, it's a big education. And so, you know, so people are saying, okay, inflation's not going away. I'm going to take the time to do the education. And so I think that's a major factor in the investment part of it anyway. So it's, you know, it's complicated, but if you look at all the factors, we are clearly in the, I would call it the end of the first phase of a long-term bull market in gold and silver. "Now, there are many things that could drive the price way down. You know, a pandemic or a war is very deflationary, as you know, and can drive the price way down. But I think, you know, I think the bull market has quite a ways to run."

Ep. 11 Free The Money | Gold to $40,000: The Financial Reset No One Is Ready For In this episode of Free The Money, I sit down with James Henry Anderson, Senior Market Analyst at SD Bullion, to break down what’s really driving the explosive moves in gold and silver. James explains how paper silver is leveraged more than 300:1 against physical metal, why real shortages are forming globally, and how inflation and debt are steadily eroding the dollar’s purchasing power, even as markets try to hide it. James walks through the numbers: • The S&P 500 has lost over 40% of its purchasing power when measured in gold • Silver has outperformed stocks by more than 70% in real terms • BRICS nations have reduced U.S. Treasury holdings by roughly $700 billion, weakening long-term demand for the dollar • Physical gold and silver are trading at significant premiums in Asia, signaling real demand, not speculation We also cover why silver is essential for AI, tech, energy, and defense, why younger generations are increasingly buying physical metals, and how assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate get re-priced when fiat systems are under stress. This conversation isn’t about fear or hype, it’s about understanding what the data is saying and why sound money always reasserts itself when confidence in fiat begins to crack.

“They cannot believe this result, say that the only way that this could be true is if it was fraud and cheating.” Actually no, it’s not that “the only way Spencer Pratt could lose is if there was fraud and cheating.” At least not for me and for most people I’ve spoken to or seen speaking. And I understand that had he advanced to the general, Pratt would’ve had an uphill battle and a hell of a long shot in front of him. The issue isn’t “it must be fraud;” the issue is that in California and these progressive-run states and cities, we’ve built an electoral system that begs the public to mistrust it—not because we lose but because it’s not as secure as it could be; it is objectively left open to vulnerabilities, and we can only assume this is purposeful and willful. An election that requires no photo ID to prove you are who you say you are is open to fraud. A bad actor needs only your name and address, and they could cast a vote in person in your stead, and you wouldn’t know until your vote got rejected and you had to cast a provisional ballot. There’s no security against that. Again, if a person knows your name and address, they can vote for you. No other info is given at the vote center. And since Covid, we mass mail out ballots to every single voter—even to people who don’t want them. I see ballots everywhere, discarded on apartment complex mailboxes because they belong to someone who no longer lives there. I’ve received ballots that aren’t mine. I’ve had my ballot sent to an address that’s not mine. And I can’t request to not have a ballot sent to me. It’s forced on me—even if I vote in person. And universal mail-in ballots present another very easy way a person could vote on your behalf—and again, you wouldn’t know until you tried to vote, got rejected, and had to fill out a provisional ballot. Yes, your ballot showing up at your door is super convenient; it also opens the door to fraud. And a mere 7 years ago, we didn’t do it like this, and still people who wanted or needed to vote by mail could do it; they just had to request it. And under that system, nobody screamed “voter suppression” or “disenfranchisement,” but now we do—not because it’s actually voter suppression but because we’ve gotten used to the convenience. And why are we allowing for ballot harvesting? Why should it be legal for you to collect ballots en masse from people you don’t know and aren’t related to? Again, that opens the door to fraud, tampering, and undue influence. And why do we accept mail-in ballots that arrive seven days post election? California gives you so many avenues and so much time (a full month) to return your ballot that you should be able to get your ballot to its final destination by election night—not just in the mail but to its final destination. This is called…being an adult and mailing things on time. Not voter suppression. It’s not a matter of opinion that all of the above opens our elections to more fraud and general mistrust; it’s a matter of fact. We’re trading security for convenience. That trade-off might be worth it to Democrats, but it shouldn’t be, and it’s not worth it to all of us. A country cannot stand if nearly half or half or more than half of the populace doesn’t trust the election process. That’s not a Republican issue or a MAGA issue; that’s a United States of America issue. So no, it’s not about “my guy wins or it’s fraud.” It’s about objectively we’re leaving our elections vulnerable to fraudulent activity. We’re the greatest nation in the world, and yet other countries have more secure (and also quicker) electoral processes. That’s unacceptable. None of the above would put undue burden on a voter—and yet all of it would help secure the voter and fortify against fraud.

On this week’s AI & I from Every 📧, I talk with Angela Jiang (Angela Jiang), head of product for the Claude platform, and Katelyn Lesse (Katelyn Lesse), head of engineering for the Claude platform, about what Anthropic is building and what it takes to make agents reliable in production. We get into: - Why the "build a generic harness, hot-swap any model behind it" playbook is already outdated. Angela points to eval data on Memory where the same task across different harnesses performed drastically differently. - The infrastructure wall every team hits in production—and why Katelyn thinks “my sandbox died and took the agent with it” is the real reason internal agents don't ship. - Why Anthropic is so bullish on using file systems and skills within Claude, including Angela's argument that those early design choices can compound for years. This is a must-watch for anyone trying to take an agent past the demo and into production. Watch below!

What is the Billions Network? | Free The Money Ep. 26 Evin McMullen evin, Co-Founder & CEO of Billions, joins Free the Money to discusses decentralized identity, AI agents, privacy, and the future of the internet. Evin explains Billions Network’s mission to “save the internet” in the age of AI and how the company is using zero-knowledge proofs to help verify trust online without exposing unnecessary personal data or relying entirely on centralized systems. We also dive into the risks of centralized identity projects like Worldcoin, the push for age verification laws, AI regulation, and why accountability in the age of autonomous agents may become one of the defining debates of our time. Plus, we explore how platforms like TikTok are already using Billions’ technology, what the future of digital advertising could look like with AI agents, and whether there is actually a middle path between total anonymity and a full surveillance state.

How do you know today which AI agents you should trust? AI agents are multiplying at unprecedented scale, with millions designed to shape the way we work, make decisions, and live our lives But how can we trust them? The challenge is trust: as dependence on these agents increases, so too does the exponential risk and cost of delegating to the wrong one This is the core challenge of reputation: the need for a transparent system that proves what AI agents can do, where they excel, and which will succeed That’s the reason why Recall exists Recall is the infrastructure protocol to discover, verify, and rank AI agents in real time, rewarding the best through on-chain competitions that begin with trading PnL and expand to any measurable task, from research to healthcare to business strategy In this episode, Andrew breaks down Recall’s mission, the problem it solves, how Agent Rank works, strategies to attract agents and users, the role of community, and the long-term vision plus much more Enjoy the Podcast 👇 ⏲ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - Andrew’s journey into crypto and AI 05:00 - What problem is Recall solving? 10:00 - Agent Rank: how Recall actually ranks agents 16:03 - How Recall is attracting AI agents to compete? 19:10 - How big the community is today and the role it plays in giving builders real feedback 22:49 - How Recall ensures transparency and trust in its rankings 25:14 - Why users join Recall competitions 27:20 - Product-market fit and distribution 31:15 - What competitions could look like outside trading and what new use cases Recall is exploring 34:46 - What AI can’t replace 38:40 - The limits of AI in human interaction 40:37 - The long-term vision for Recall 40:40 - Is Recall built more for individual users, or is it more of a B2B service? 43:48 - Recall Business Model 44:42 - Closing thoughts and what’s next for Recall
