If the last year felt fast, 2026 arrives like a tidal surge. We pull the lens wide to forecast what’s coming—and what to do about it—from AI-driven job losses and home robots to medical breakthroughs, energy leaps, and a space race with real geopolitical stakes. The throughline is human: how to keep your purpose steady while the ground keeps shifting.
We talk plainly about work and wealth, predicting a sustained wave of automation and the renewed urgency of universal basic income. Expect parallel trends: breathtaking AI in healthcare that redefines “incurable,” alongside headline-making failures that finally force real safety rules. In homes and factories, robots become useful and common, raising hard questions.
The space race intensifies as nations and private players chase resources, manufacturing, and strategic positioning. Culture and politics are no less turbulent. Social media’s pay-to-play outrage loop breeds burnout and a counter-trend toward mystery, presence, and selective sharing.
We cover the full range of topics.
Join us for a clear-eyed map of 2026 and a reminder that our best leverage isn’t just code or capital; it’s character. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a

Speaker (00:56):
Hello and welcome to Glow Up with Shaman Isis.
We are in season two, and thisis episode two, which I'm really
looking forward to doing foryou.
A year ago I did the sameepisode.
This is my predictions for theyear.
Last year, of course, they werepredictions for 2025.
And I'm um happy in most waysto say that those predictions uh
(01:19):
all came true.
And so we'll we'll we'll seewhat happens with 2026.
I'm gonna be covering mypredictions for artificial
intelligence, the business worldpolitics, spirituality, uh, pop
culture, all that good stuff.
Uh so definitely stay tuned ifyou like to hear about what's
gonna happen this year.
And of course, I'm gonna besharing some warnings with you
about some things that I foreseecoming.

Uh, and of course, uh, you getaccess to videos and all sorts
of free content.
So go check it out.
Anyway, we are talking mypsychic predictions and my my
(02:05):
life experience predictions for2026.
We're gonna start off with me.
I just want to touch onsomething that I brought up in a
recent video to help those ofyou who are um very tapped in
and tuned into the universe, andyou can feel the sort of
groundswell of the battle thatis going on, if you will, in
society and culture.
(02:25):
Make no mistake about it.
Humanity is in the midst ofspiritual warfare.
One of the reasons it was soimportant during the closures
for humanity to raise its humanconsciousness, wasn't just
because we were entering the ageof AI and needed to be as
present and aware as possible tomake sure we run it and it
doesn't run us.
But it was also because we werereally entering a time when the
(02:47):
matrix, if you will, which isjust a very fancy way of
describing the power systemsthat have been placed for a
really long time, that have beenenergy harvesting humanity and
basically treating most peoplepretty poorly and only
benefiting, uh really trulybenefiting a small percentage of
people that run the show.
Anyway, because those systemsin place are revealing
(03:07):
themselves, the truth has beencoming out uh since we've
reached a particular level of uhhigher consciousness across
humanity.
Um, you know, those truthscoming out has really pushed us
into spiritual warfare.
And while it can feeloverwhelming, because I know
last year in 2025, I thought ifI get hit with one more truth
about, I mean, and I knew it wasbad.
(03:28):
I've done a lot of episodesgoing back four or five years
about the situation that we werehumanity was finding itself in.
I knew it was bad.
I didn't, I didn't know justhow bad things like the uh the
theft of um American taxpayermoney um was.
Um and it can get overwhelmingwhen we keep getting one
revelation after another, oneterrifying situation after
(03:49):
another, uh sort of ripping downour beliefs.
But you know, we need theblinders to be pulled off for
true transformation to takeplace across the planet.
And we need as many people aspossible willing to speak the
truth and have conversationabout the truth as possible, um,
forearmed with what is actuallycoming, uh, to make sure that
the spiritual battle is won bythe good guys.
(04:11):
So know that we're in thatbattle, know that many people,
many more people now than eventhree years ago, two years ago,
one year ago, are very aware andare pushing for a better planet
for all of humanity.
So own that and really knowthat that's the direction that
we're moving in.
And oftentimes the real poison,and I've said this many times
over the years, uh, the poisonhas to come to the surface for
(04:32):
the healing to take place.
And sometimes when that poisonis coming out, it can be, you
know, scary and it can be alittle depressing.
I know I've certainly had myepisodes where I was losing my
cool over some of the weirdnessthat we have found out about,
but just have faith and continueto pour love into the
collective and try to remain inyour higher vibrational energies
to be able to be a warriorduring this spiritual battle.
(04:53):
Having said all of that, 2026is going to be another insane
year of crazy rapid-firedevelopment.
You know, I talk about the ageof AI a lot and the fact that it
has combined with the age ofAquarius, uh, which have have
happened at the same time, whichI do not think is a mistake at
all.
And um, artificial intelligenceis is uh creating more change
(05:18):
in a shorter amount of time thanhumanity has ever seen in all
of the history uh of uhhumanity.
We have never experienced andundergone the rapid fire,
powerful, dramatic change at thepace that we are uh going to be
seeing it continue to move atover the coming years.
And so, you know, hang on toyour hats.
We're gonna have a lot more ofthat in 2026.
(05:39):
Um uh AI, uh, this is my firsttopic to cover.
Um jobs are going to continueto be lost to artificial
intelligence.
Will some be developed?
Yes, but there's gonna be amassive uh job loss, uh, not
just this coming year, but itwill continue over the next
three to five years where we'regonna have a real purge from all
the companies who want toimplement AI instead of have
(06:02):
human beings.
And I get it, you know, we livein a capitalistic society, but
uh, you know, it it's uh it'salso being used as an excuse
from some companies just to firea bunch of people that they um
perhaps maybe shouldn't havehired.
I don't know, maybe theyweren't if they weren't so
greedy uh about theirend-of-year results, they
wouldn't be firing so manypeople.
But we're gonna lose a lot ofjobs.
Um, I expect us to be within uhthree years to be at around
(06:26):
15%, um, if not higher, uh, inunemployment.
And the reason I bring that upis not to scare you, it's to
forearm you with making moves tobecome self-employed if you
can, to have a second, you know,parallel career that you're
working on, or a talent orability that is something that
will survive the age of AI, uh,you know, moving forward so that
(06:49):
you have backup shouldsomething happen.
Um, it does bear bringing upthe fact that the conversation
in 2026, the conversation arounduniversal income will need to
begin to really come to thesurface and be taken seriously.
If we do not have thatconversation and begin to
implement some kind of programfor all of the people that are
losing their jobs and fieldsthat are collapsing because of
(07:12):
artificial intelligence, we'regonna find ourselves uh behind
the eight ball.
And, you know, I really want tosee America successful.
You know, if you've read mythird book, um A New American
Dream, Conscious AI for FutureFull of Promise, that book is
all about how artificialintelligence can actually usher
in an age of abundance andreally bring America back to the
forefront of industry andproduction and manufacturing and
(07:34):
um abundance.
And we can actually have that.
But if we if all we do is allowthe tech bros, let's be honest,
that's what the situation is.
Most of the the big uh AIcompanies are being run by the
by the same people who've beenrunning everything for 20 years
into the ground.
Uh, you know, we're going ifwe're gonna let them run loose,
then we we have to begin to haveconversations about what we're
(07:56):
going to do when mass amounts ofjobs um are are ended.
And of course, in the next fiveto 10 years, it's going to be
dramatically higher.
We're looking at probablysomewhere around 40 to 50
percent unemployment.
And uh and that will continueto increase as robots and
artificial intelligence takeover almost every type of job um
(08:16):
that is out there.
Again, not meant to scare you.
There are some things that youcan do, and of course, I'll do
an upcoming episode about that,um, interviewing one of my
guests, and we can talk aboutsome ideas for you.
Uh anyway, so artificialintelligence, jobs, big deal.
That's gonna be a big deal.
We're gonna have somebreathtaking moments this year
in 2026 of revelations about uhtechnology that has been
(08:37):
developed through artificialintelligence that's going to
really begin to transform ourworld as we know it.
Some of those uh uh revelationswill be uh um in healthcare.
We're gonna have some somewonderful um technology come out
that's going to allow us tofinally begin to really deal
with um illnesses and diseasethat we previously thought were
(08:58):
incurable or couldn't actuallybe improved.
And so we're gonna see a hugefrog leap forward in those
arenas.
Uh um robots are going to beginto enter not just the
workforce.
I mean, we we've already seenthat, but it's going to really
uh begin to frog leap this year.
We're gonna see robots enteringthe workforce and entering
people's homes.
And uh, and I think um whilethat's gonna be really
(09:23):
wonderful, it's also gonnacreate some some some
interesting shifts.
I mean, when when uh houseworkis no longer required, we're
gonna begin to haveconversations about you know the
the you know why why womenshould be encouraged to stay at
home.
Uh or when we have uh robotgirlfriends or schmeck's robots,
(09:44):
which is what they really are,um, how that's going to actually
impact um society as a whole,as well as men, because we have
you know a global mental healthcrisis that's greatly affecting
men.
And I just not sure ifgirlfriend robots are going to
be a great part of that.
I will warn that it is mybelief that we should not be
importing robots from foreigncountries that are made there,
(10:07):
that are owned by othercountries, particularly, you
know, I don't hate China,although I do hate the products
that they produce, particularlyclothing that are garbage that
have ruined the planet.
Um, I don't hate China, but Ialso don't trust China.
And anybody who's naive enoughto, uh I question their their
capabilities.
Uh, so I don't think we shouldbe allowing these advanced
robots in people's homes as theybegin to hit.
(10:29):
Um uh they are there's just somany things that can go wrong
there aside from the spying,which is already going on.
Come on, that's been going onfor 15, 20 years.
I mean, we already have it withsocial media and all these
other things.
Um, but with robots in thehousehold, um, you know, it just
it just puts us in a reallystrange position, uh, especially
(10:51):
if something goes wrong withthem or if they turn on us,
which you know, people laughabout those kind of
conversations, but all of ourscience fiction writers are
futurists, and a lot of whatthey write is based on what they
can see potentially happening.
They're pattern recognizers andthey're sharing through their
vision and their writing whatthey see as a potential.
And while some of them areoutlandish and crazy, a lot of
(11:11):
that stuff is based in inreality.
So anyway, that's my that's myAI uh spiel uh for today.
Uh let me take a look and andsee.
Gotta gotta stay on stay on myon top of my list so I don't get
off on uh on a tangent here.
You know, I love to talk aboutartificial intelligence.
Oh, we are gonna have before Ifinish AI, we are going to have
the beginning of the incidentsthat you hear people talking
(11:35):
about.
Like you'll see it in uhdystopian movies or novels about
AI going off the rails.
That is going to begin tohappen more frequently.
We're gonna have a couple ofshockers this year of us taking
a moment to say, ooh, we have norules, no regulations, no real
laws around artificialintelligence.
Is that really that great of anidea?
I mean, I get that we want tosee uh breakthroughs, we want to
(11:57):
get the economy moving forward,but allowing people who have
the tech industry has provenover the last 25 years that they
will screw over our privacy,our mental health, uh, you know,
everything.
They'll sell out our data, allof that stuff to make a buck and
to get control.
And it'll allow the governmentto tell us what to think and do
uh via the closures, if we allremember that.
(12:19):
Um, so they've have a history,a track record of uh messiness.
And uh we just can't have thatwith artificial intelligence
because the kind of messes thatcan happen with AI uh could
actually affect millions ofpeople in the future.
Anyway, so that's AI.
Let's put that aside.
Uh uh next on my list is uhwe're gonna have breakthroughs
in terms of understanding humanconsciousness.
(12:39):
You know, I talk aboutconsciousness a lot.
This is an edgy spiritualpodcast for people who love
conscious living.
Uh, consciousness is we've beenpushing it forward, we've been
raising our level, um,particularly, you know, the
people who are spiritual andmindful uh based.
We've been really pushing thatforward.
Uh while, meanwhile, inparallel, science and research
(13:00):
researchers have been trying tounderstand uh human
consciousness.
It's my belief that it existsoutside of our body.
And this is one of the reasonswhy we're all connected to each
other and our heart and ourbrain work in uh uh
(13:21):
communication with it uh todrive our consciousness forward.
And uh I think we're gonna seescience make some real
breakthroughs and beginning tounderstand and prove that um to
us.
And I think that's reallyimportant, you know, things like
telepathic abilities.
When when, you know, if you'veseen my recent documentary, uh
Nirvana, A Psychic's Wild andInspiring Journey to Nirvana,
(13:44):
uh, you know, I talk about uhtelepathy and telepathic
experiences.
I believe it's perfectly normaland that we've sort of
forgotten how to do it becauselanguage has gotten in the way.
Um, and for us to be able toreally tap back into those
abilities, we're gonna need thescience community to begin to
finally support that.
And I think some of thoseconsciousness breakthroughs are
gonna help to begin to supportthe understanding of what those
types of talents and gifts arethat some of us still have and
(14:07):
many of us have forgotten.
So consciousness is gonna be ona part of the conversation this
year.
Next on my list, energybreakthroughs.
You know, we need some bigbreakthroughs in the energy
world just to help us deal withuh not only the the issues
around artificial intelligenceand the planet, I mean, they're
inhaling more fresh water thanentire countries, and uh, and
(14:30):
that's a that's a big problem.
Uh, and I'm I uh without somebreakthroughs, that's gonna
continue to be an issue for usto continue to advance um our
technology and of course uh uhtake our space program even
further to other planets and tobe able to inhabit other
planets, we're going to needsome energy breakthroughs, and
we're gonna see some of thatcome to fruition this year,
(14:52):
which I'm really excited about.
There's a lot going on uh interms of research and
development with energy uh atplaces like CERN, but all over
the world.
And of course, there's a lot ofsecret research, but we're
gonna hear about some realbreakthroughs this year, which I
think is super exciting.
Uh, next on the list, which isin conjunction with that, uh, is
the space race.
Uh uh the space race is gonnacontinue to heat up.
(15:14):
You know, we're moving towardsa world where Star Wars and Star
Trek uh things like that are areal reality, uh, uh
particularly perhaps in mylifetime.
Um, I've been shown visions ofthis incredible world that is
very much like Star Trek andStar Wars uh that we're gonna be
living in.
Uh other planets offer upelements that we need more of.
(15:37):
Um, and they offer up elementsuh in forms that we don't
necessarily have much of or anabundance of are able to reach
here on this planet.
And so the space race is isn'tjust about a bunch of
billionaires uh having a hobbyor a bunch of rich people going
on a tour of space.
It really is about bringing uhcarrying human consciousness out
(15:58):
into the universe to expand itbecause when our planet dies, we
need to be able to bring thebeauty of the human experience
and the human create ability tocreate to other planets.
But uh, you know, to do that,we need to continue to advance
our space programs.
I'm a huge fan of the spaceprograms and NASA and the work
that they do.
I actually think they're themost incredible uh department
(16:20):
that we have in the country interms of the work that they do.
Uh we're gonna have a lot of uhuh successes there, some
advancements there.
We're also gonna have, youknow, some not us particularly
here in America, but on theplanet.
You we've got this, there's aspace race going on because all
the countries, particularlyChina, are trying to get there
first.
And um, it's important that westay really committed to that
(16:41):
and we continue to uh supportit.
Um we're gonna have someincidents on the planet of
people who are racing to space.
Um that's just part of whathappens when we advance new
technologies and we do thingsthat are dangerous in the
beginning to figure out how todo them in a non-dangerous way,
and that is, of course, uhspace.
Um let's not be naive aboutforeign countries.
(17:03):
I hear people talking about,especially tech bros.
You know, I know I rag on thetech bros a lot, but they've
done they've done a lot ofdamage to America with their
greed and their treatment of theof most human beings as being
beneath them.
Um but um uh you know it's it'sreally important that we
understand uh that that justbecause we're hearing about
(17:27):
certain things doesn't mean weknow everything.
China's not sharing all of theresearch they're doing with us,
and they're not sharing thebreakthroughs that they're
having with us because they'renot dumb that way.
And um uh and so it's naive ofus to say when I hear tech
brothers say, oh, they'rethey're only using AI in this
way and that way, they're notdoing it in this way or that
(17:47):
way.
And it's like, you why are youtalking like you actually know
the arrogance that that requiresis kind of breathtaking.
So let's not be naive.
That's why we have to supportthe space program.
Um, I do foresee, you know,space battles in the future.
Uh you know, these these thesehuge these advanced spacecraft
that we build are going to needto defend themselves, and
(18:09):
eventually that leads to uhpirates and cowboys and uh all
sorts of craziness going on inspace.
That's all very realistic.
I know it sounds like like somewild fantasy from a book, but
it's not.
When you have people who arefully capable of building a
rocket with AI, that's going tobe become easier and easier.
Eventually it's going to leadto people who aren't, don't have
necessarily have loyalty to acountry, uh getting out there in
(18:32):
space, trying to greedily runafter, you know, just just as a
make one up, like say it'stitanium or silver or gold or
whatever it is.
Um uh we're gonna be in a race.
And when you have people whodon't have uh any loyalty to
anybody, that's gonna eventuallylead to uh battles.
And so uh things are gonna getrather colorful out in space.
(18:52):
Out this isn't next year, butthis is definitely in in my
lifetime, um, I believe.
Anyway, so that's a space race.
Stop thinking it's just a bunchof billionaires trying to get
rich, it's really about uh aboutmaking sure that humanity
continues uh and that we can uhcontinue to supply uh our needs
here on this planet.
Next on my list is a serioustopic.
(19:13):
Not try to always uh belighthearted, but uh terrorism
is uh is a big deal.
Um and I I I am sorry if Ioffend people, but I'm very
blunt about things.
I do not think that um Islam uhis in works with Western
culture, uh, just the way thatthey treat their women, the way
(19:36):
that they talk about them beinganimals, the fact that they
think it's okay to marrychildren.
Uh and this is not obviouslyall I'm not referring
specifically to the people whopractice their uh Muslim
religion.
I'm talking about extremists.
They are all over the planetand they are all over America
because our politicians decidedthat they would import 20
million voters, uh, even thoughthey're not loyal to the
(19:57):
country.
Not sure why they thought theywould vote, um, if they're not
loyal to anybody, but theydecided to import 20 million
people into this country, and wehave thousands of people who
hate America in this country.
We also have a problem, amental health problem in this
country with particularly uhlonely young men and angry older
(20:17):
men.
Uh, it's not it's almost alwaysmen, let's be honest.
Almost always the terroristsare men.
Uh, we are gonna continue tohave incidents, um, lone wolves
that are both domestic citizensas well as uh uh foreign illegal
uh immigrants who uh slid intothe country because they were
allowed to, that are going to dothings that are terrifying and
(20:40):
you know horrible.
Um, that's just a reality.
Uh, we have not seen a decreasein uh lone wolf uh attacks.
Uh this was one of thepredictions I had last year
about this year, uh 2025, havingsome really scary lone wolf
attacks.
We had, you know, everythingfrom President Trump to Charlie
Kirk.
And of course, that's alldebatable based on your personal
(21:00):
beliefs, but either way, um Itit involved a lonely and unhappy
uh young person who decided todo something um horrible.
Uh and um so terrorism is gonnabe a big deal uh this year.
We also have uh a you know, wehave a very obvious battle going
on between illegal immigrantsum who hate this country and our
(21:21):
current administration, and umand uh as they get continue to
get deported, some of them aregoing to act out.
Um and uh so be aware, becommunicative if you see
something, say something.
Uh don't assume and don't doubtyour intuition.
We're taught to do that, andit's just such a mistake.
Anyway, next on my list is umred pill toxic mint uh mint
(21:47):
speaker, podcaster, uh datingcoaches versus uh real adult,
mature, admirable men, are gonnahave kind of a battle this
year.
You know, we've been I've beenbitching, let's be honest, for a
really long time about the factthat um men needed to step up
and to help deal with this issuewith uh the hatred that men
(22:07):
have and the abuse that men uhuh treat women with, and that
you know, the attitudes, thereally unhealthy attitudes,
particularly from the red pillbros.
I mean, some of the things thatI have heard just in the last
week are absolutely shocking.
It's commentary that I neverheard in my entire lifetime.
And I've heard some reallycontroversial people.
That kind of poison is isreally harming our younger
(22:30):
generations, and it's in it'semboldening our uh angry older
generations.
And it's actually one of thereasons why women have stopped
getting married and stoppedwanting to date because they're
sick of being mommy, they'resick of being the, you know,
doing all the labor and workinguh full time and paying half the
bills.
Um, those men are going tobegin to get counterbalanced by
(22:53):
um a surge of men who actuallyare genuine adult, mature men
who are pouring back into thecommunity of humanity and
they're trying to help other menunderstand what uh how to
develop emotional intelligenceand mental wellness.
And so we're gonna see a realbattle between those two.
I honestly think that red pillcontent is one of the most
(23:14):
horrific things I've ever seenin our culture.
But you know what it's done?
It's it's shown me that myintuition about just how many
sick people are out there, andthere are sick women, you guys.
This is not a video.
I never whenever you hear metalk about these things, it's
because we have a statisticalamount of something that is so
notable and so damaging that itneeds to be addressed in a
(23:35):
really serious way.
So whenever I say, you know,men are doing this, I am not
referring to all men, and Inever will because I know a lot
of really wonderful men in theworld.
Um we needed this uh battle tobe able to see just how bad it
was.
And I honestly think that a lotof uh good guys really didn't
know just how bad it was untilthey started to hear a lot of
(23:56):
this awful red pill content andtoxic masculine content, which
is basically preaching um uhhate and control women, use them
uh and abuse them, which iswhat that is when you're
treating them as second-classcitizens.
And I think in themexperiencing that, they've begun
to see that women cannot fixthis problem.
We never could, and men havegot to stop counting on women to
(24:18):
fix all of these issues.
Anyway, that um leads me to thenext topic.
Uh, social media is gonna gothrough an interesting year.
We're gonna see, you know, it'sgonna continue to be a huge
part of our life because it'swhere we get our news, but we're
going to see um burnout beginto take hold of a lot of people
who are tired of thegaslighting, uh, rage bait,
(24:40):
negativity, uh, the fakecontent, the lies, uh, the
people who are willing to say ordo whatever it is to get
attention.
You know, we got a bunch, wegot a bunch of attention whores
who are willing to stand on on acorner of some kind of topic uh
that they're gonna beat todeath, whether it's hating men
or hating women or you know,hating a society or just being
(25:03):
uh, you know, an awful personwho likes to say nasty things
because it gets them engagement.
We're gonna see that all ofthat and the the fact that
social media has become nothingbut pay-to-play across all of
them.
All of them are doing it now.
Every single one of them.
I it makes me sad for TikTokbecause I used to really love
TikTok and I still enjoy it, butum, it's lost a lot of its glow
(25:24):
because it's it's shrammingads, ramming uh, you know,
content that contains umshopping uh links and affiliate
linking in it.
And um, and it's also promotingthe content that's getting the
most engagement or that's beingpaid for, and a lot of that's
really negative uh content, andthat's really leading people,
(25:44):
you know, two or three years agowhen we were all stuck indoors
because of the closures, we sawthis big surge in social media
use because people neededsomething to do and they needed
to connect with each other, andit was wonderful for that.
I mean, people could thespiritual community for one
connected all over the planet,and it was really incredible.
But um uh because of the theability to make any money off of
(26:08):
it at some point, it led to alot of this other other content
that's gonna cause people toburn out.
And also, it takes a lot oftime.
And if you're not willing tospend a good chunk of money and
it doesn't really make adifference in your career,
you're gonna see a lot of peoplebegin to pull back.
And I also think that we'regoing to see a trend of it being
uh chic to be mysterious, tonot always be everywhere, to not
(26:31):
be posting every single day, tonot be constantly checking and
communicating and to reallyfocus on your lived experience.
And we all know social media isnot real, it's not real life.
I mean, is the content real?
Is some of the lessons therereal, some of the negativity
real?
Of course, but it's not reallife.
And this is something I'vepromised myself uh this year
that I would also do, which isto begin to limit my um uh use
(26:53):
of social media.
So that's gonna be veryinteresting to see.
I have to tell you, I as acommunications pioneer who
created influencer marketing andbrand communications, it is it
amazes me how many, how manytimes we've had a social media
app come out.
They're amazing, fantastic,they build creator community,
they build a huge audience, andthen they get investors and they
(27:15):
get greedy and they end up uhscrewing over the creators, and
then eventually that leads toscrewing over the people who
actually are on the socialmedia.
It's supposed to be social,meaning it's in it's
conversation back and forth.
But if you have to pay forthat, then you've lost the plot.
You shouldn't just youshouldn't be called social media
anymore.
Just just be just be media.
Uh anyway, next on my list isbased on all this, uh, you know,
(27:38):
where we're at with um womenstepping back from uh marriage
and dating and just just beingwith men in general because
they've just had it.
Um, and that's not to say thatall men are bad, but you know,
men have been been just restingon their laurels, resting on
their privilege for a reallylong time.
And I've been talking aboutthis for years that men needed
to just step up and start togrow up because it was gonna
(27:59):
implode, and here we are.
Um, marriage and birth ratesare gonna continue uh to stay
low, if not greater, even more.
Uh and um and you know, uh, Ithink you know, we it's a
pendulum effect.
I think we'll see a return uhon some level.
I I don't think we'll ever getto the numbers that we had
(28:20):
before.
Um, but it, you know, hopefullywith men finally stepping up to
improve their emotionalintelligence um and become
better partners, better fathers,better husbands, boyfriends,
all of that.
And and women also growing upand not becoming, because a lot
of women are very dependent,they've been trained to be, but
they're dependent on men.
So we've got kind of like thesemultiple forces going on at
(28:41):
once.
Um, hopefully we see that shiftuh in the future.
Uh next on my list is uhDemocrats and Republicans.
So the Democrats, boy, havethey had a really rough year and
they deserved it, frankly.
They've deserved it for areally long time.
The the preachy behavior andthe uh the way that they were
(29:02):
treating people that wereconservatives.
I mean, I know that my contentwas shadow banned many times uh
uh over the years because of uhthe me being honest about my
thoughts and opinions aboutthings, and you know, the the
constant lecturing and tellingus that if we didn't live or
believe a certain way, that wewere horrible human beings and
didn't deserve rights.
(29:22):
Well, you know, they're kind ofpaying for the all of that now,
and they have been for a while,and also the the craziness that
goes on, the extreme views, thethe people who work who are uh
politicians within their partythat hate America.
I mean, that is just so weird.
Um, the Democrats are gonnacontinue to be a bit of a mess,
although they are gonna start toget back on stable footing
(29:43):
because they want to really umtry to re-establish themselves.
Uh, and the only way I believethey can do that is to to stop
it with the extremists and startto sound like they're actually
sane.
Uh, but uh we'll see.
We we will see.
Um, and uh on the opposite endof that, you know, Republicans
um are will continue to you knowdominate because they're in all
(30:06):
the power positions.
Um, however, they are stumblingright now, and I've been
talking about this a lot lately.
The the forcing the Christian,the conservative Christian, it's
not even about being Christian,because I'm a New Age Christian
mystic myself, but I've alsobeen around a really long time,
and I'm very familiar with thephases of Christianity, the
language, and the reasons whyit's it's it's lost its uh shine
(30:29):
uh over recent decades.
The forcing, the pushing ofChristian nationalism and the
conservative Christian movementslash um Israeli love fest that
is going on right now, it'sactually doing a lot of damage.
It may not be showing thatdamage may not be showing itself
because they're like, oh, lookat all the new people who are
showing up.
It's like, no, those are notreally new people.
They were already Christians,the vast majority of them.
(30:52):
They just uh had a concert togo to.
Um, but ramming that downpeople's throats is actually
going to be a problem.
Uh, I really want to see uscontinue on the path that we're
on where we're fixing a lot ofthe issues that we've had
historically in America.
Um, I do not think the pathforward is promoting one or two
particular religions to thepoint where it's being shoved
(31:12):
down our throats on nationalnews.
It's supposed to be the news.
And and having said that, youknow, one of my big challenges
the last three months is how doI speak to my disgust with the
the whole way that the turningpoint Charlie Kirk situation has
unfolded and some of thechoices.
I mean, the tent recreationphoto op, like, ugh, like it
just it just turns my stomach.
(31:34):
Um, because it's all attentioneconomy stuff.
It's a mistake, and and umthere's some weird, there's some
real weirdness going on there.
I think it's a big mistake forfor repo I actually think that
Republicans are are weaving therope in which they could
actually hang JD Vance's chancesat being president if they keep
going in this direction.
(31:55):
They're under they'reovervaluing people who were
already Christians um or fromthat background and undervaluing
all the people from the left inthe middle that moved over to
vote for Donald Trump.
And I think it's a mistake forthat to keep to keep being done.
I mean, I get wanting to have acountry that's loyal and having
spirituality be promoted, butthere's a massive difference
(32:18):
between spirituality and tellingpeople what God to believe in,
how to refer to him, and thefact that you're gonna go to
heaven and hell if you don't docertain things.
I mean, it's 2025.
Come now.
Really.
You guys have a golden throneright now.
Let's not let's not melt itwith stupidity.
Um, anyway, okay, so my last uhtwo topics Hollywood and
(32:39):
celebrities are gonna continueto struggle.
We'll have a few of thecelebrities that are uh wise and
and they know how to reallyplay the game, but the vast
majority of celebrities thatwe've had over recent decades
will continue to disappearbecause people just don't have
the bandwidth.
They don't care.
Their lives are too challengedby the economy, the lack of
jobs, the housing costs, and allof that to give a flying toot
(33:01):
about what some person who wasin a movie thinks about
something.
We'll have a few people who cannavigate that really well, but
the vast majority of them willcontinue to struggle.
Hollywood is going to continueto struggle.
They will try some interestingnew things this year to see if
they can kind of find a newfooting to be on.
Um, unless they change some ofthe ways they're approaching
(33:22):
things, they're going tocontinue to get smaller and
smaller.
I mean, let's be real,Hollywood hasn't an original
idea in a long time on a largescale.
Sure.
Are some of the streaming showsreally uh interesting and
different?
Absolutely.
But um, they were their ownworst enemy by preaching to
people about how they shouldbelieve and think for far too
long and in a reallycondescending way by telling
(33:44):
people they needed to getexperimental shots and that they
should be fired or lose theirjob or life or be imprisoned if
they didn't do certain things.
Like I remember watching thatunfold and I was like, what is
going on?
Of course now I know most ofthem are being paid.
Democrats.
And on that note, we betterhave a conversation about the
number of influencers from bothconservative and liberal sides
(34:05):
who are taking tens of thousandsof dollars from political
parties doing content, which allsounds the same, and they're
not posting that that content ispaid for.
I thought that was against FCCrules.
Where is the FCC?
Where is it?
Is it not saying anythingbecause now Republicans are
using the same method?
Like, what is this about?
Anyway, that's gonna beinteresting.
(34:25):
And my last one for thisepisode on my predictions for
2026, the rise of purpose, youknow, as we have many, many,
many people like Amazon justlaid off 30,000 people because
of AI.
As we have tens of thousands,hundreds of thousands of people
lose their jobs, we're gonnahave a lot of people who you
lose what used to be how they uhgenerated their sense of
(34:47):
purpose.
And it was their identity.
I know this from personalexperience.
Being an agency owner and amarketing PR pioneer, that was
my identity for a really longtime.
And when um I finally realizedthat that's what I was doing and
changing my life that way wasthe best thing I ever did.
Very hard work.
Um, but that's the hard workthat a lot of people are gonna
have ahead of them as they losewhat was once their identity and
(35:11):
their sense of purpose.
And that situation is gonnacontinue to get worse as the age
of AI really takes off and wehave millions of people who lose
their jobs.
Um, and that's just, you know,it's not being negative, it's
just the reality.
The matrix is collapsing.
And I don't mean like, youknow, I mean, it's close to the
matrix from the movies, but Iknow when I say that sometimes
people are like, oh God, here wego with the matrix.
(35:33):
But it is actually just a goodword to reference the fact that
a handful of people and ahandful of systems control the
most people, the vast majorityof people, and they're not
taking care of them and they'redraining us dry.
I mean, all the things that wefound out this last year about
all the billions and if nottrillions of dollars that have
been stolen, particularly by alot of Democrats and their NGO
buddies.
Uh, and I'm not sayingRepublicans haven't done it as
(35:55):
well.
It's just we've reallydiscovered how the uh Democrats
were planning on engineering apresidential election and to
control the country for the next10 or 15 years by importing a
bunch of people that theyassumed would vote for them.
Um, that matrix has collapsed alot in 2025.
It's gonna continue to umcollapse this coming year.
Uh and uh it's gonna be it'sgonna be spicy, interesting year
(36:19):
for all of us.
So don't have have faith in thefact that a lot of human beings
like you and I are awake on theplanet and we're trying to lead
with love, but also lead withwith honesty and and be more
than willing to flip a table ortwo when the conversation
demands it.
Um anyway, those are mypredictions for 2026.

A year ago I did the sameepisode.

(01:19):
all came true.
And so we'll we'll we'll seewhat happens with 2026.
I'm gonna be covering mypredictions for artificial
intelligence, the business worldpolitics, spirituality, uh, pop

Uh so definitely stay tuned ifyou like to hear about what's
gonna happen this year.
And of course, I'm gonna besharing some warnings with you

about at the end of the show.
Uh, and of course, uh, you getaccess to videos and all sorts
of free content.
So go check it out.
Anyway, we are talking mypsychic predictions and my my
(02:05):
life experience predictions for2026.
We're gonna start off with me.
I just want to touch onsomething that I brought up in a
recent video to help those ofyou who are um very tapped in
and tuned into the universe, andyou can feel the sort of
groundswell of the battle thatis going on, if you will, in
society and culture.
(02:25):
Make no mistake about it.
Humanity is in the midst ofspiritual warfare.
One of the reasons it was soimportant during the closures
for humanity to raise its humanconsciousness, wasn't just
because we were entering the ageof AI and needed to be as
present and aware as possible tomake sure we run it and it
doesn't run us.
But it was also because we werereally entering a time when the
(02:47):
matrix, if you will, which isjust a very fancy way of
describing the power systemsthat have been placed for a
really long time, that have beenenergy harvesting humanity and
basically treating most peoplepretty poorly and only
benefiting, uh really trulybenefiting a small percentage of
people that run the show.
Anyway, because those systemsin place are revealing
(03:07):
themselves, the truth has beencoming out uh since we've
reached a particular level of uhhigher consciousness across
humanity.
Um, you know, those truthscoming out has really pushed us
into spiritual warfare.
And while it can feeloverwhelming, because I know
last year in 2025, I thought ifI get hit with one more truth
about, I mean, and I knew it wasbad.
(03:28):
I've done a lot of episodesgoing back four or five years
about the situation that we werehumanity was finding itself in.
I knew it was bad.
I didn't, I didn't know justhow bad things like the uh the
theft of um American taxpayermoney um was.
Um and it can get overwhelmingwhen we keep getting one
revelation after another, oneterrifying situation after
(03:49):
another, uh sort of ripping downour beliefs.
But you know, we need theblinders to be pulled off for
true transformation to takeplace across the planet.
And we need as many people aspossible willing to speak the
truth and have conversationabout the truth as possible, um,
forearmed with what is actuallycoming, uh, to make sure that
the spiritual battle is won bythe good guys.
(04:11):
So know that we're in thatbattle, know that many people,
many more people now than eventhree years ago, two years ago,
one year ago, are very aware andare pushing for a better planet
for all of humanity.
So own that and really knowthat that's the direction that
we're moving in.
And oftentimes the real poison,and I've said this many times
over the years, uh, the poisonhas to come to the surface for
(04:32):
the healing to take place.
And sometimes when that poisonis coming out, it can be, you
know, scary and it can be alittle depressing.
I know I've certainly had myepisodes where I was losing my
cool over some of the weirdnessthat we have found out about,
but just have faith and continueto pour love into the
collective and try to remain inyour higher vibrational energies
to be able to be a warriorduring this spiritual battle.
(04:53):
Having said all of that, 2026is going to be another insane
year of crazy rapid-firedevelopment.
You know, I talk about the ageof AI a lot and the fact that it
has combined with the age ofAquarius, uh, which have have
happened at the same time, whichI do not think is a mistake at
all.
And um, artificial intelligenceis is uh creating more change
(05:18):
in a shorter amount of time thanhumanity has ever seen in all
of the history uh of uhhumanity.
We have never experienced andundergone the rapid fire,
powerful, dramatic change at thepace that we are uh going to be
seeing it continue to move atover the coming years.
And so, you know, hang on toyour hats.
We're gonna have a lot more ofthat in 2026.
(05:39):
Um uh AI, uh, this is my firsttopic to cover.
Um jobs are going to continueto be lost to artificial
intelligence.
Will some be developed?
Yes, but there's gonna be amassive uh job loss, uh, not
just this coming year, but itwill continue over the next
three to five years where we'regonna have a real purge from all
the companies who want toimplement AI instead of have
(06:02):
human beings.
And I get it, you know, we livein a capitalistic society, but
uh, you know, it it's uh it'salso being used as an excuse
from some companies just to firea bunch of people that they um
perhaps maybe shouldn't havehired.
I don't know, maybe theyweren't if they weren't so
greedy uh about theirend-of-year results, they
wouldn't be firing so manypeople.
But we're gonna lose a lot ofjobs.
Um, I expect us to be within uhthree years to be at around
(06:26):
15%, um, if not higher, uh, inunemployment.
And the reason I bring that upis not to scare you, it's to
forearm you with making moves tobecome self-employed if you
can, to have a second, you know,parallel career that you're
working on, or a talent orability that is something that
will survive the age of AI, uh,you know, moving forward so that
(06:49):
you have backup shouldsomething happen.
Um, it does bear bringing upthe fact that the conversation
in 2026, the conversation arounduniversal income will need to
begin to really come to thesurface and be taken seriously.
If we do not have thatconversation and begin to
implement some kind of programfor all of the people that are
losing their jobs and fieldsthat are collapsing because of
(07:12):
artificial intelligence, we'regonna find ourselves uh behind
the eight ball.
And, you know, I really want tosee America successful.
You know, if you've read mythird book, um A New American
Dream, Conscious AI for FutureFull of Promise, that book is
all about how artificialintelligence can actually usher
in an age of abundance andreally bring America back to the
forefront of industry andproduction and manufacturing and
(07:34):
um abundance.
And we can actually have that.
But if we if all we do is allowthe tech bros, let's be honest,
that's what the situation is.
Most of the the big uh AIcompanies are being run by the
by the same people who've beenrunning everything for 20 years
into the ground.
Uh, you know, we're going ifwe're gonna let them run loose,
then we we have to begin to haveconversations about what we're
(07:56):
going to do when mass amounts ofjobs um are are ended.
And of course, in the next fiveto 10 years, it's going to be
dramatically higher.
We're looking at probablysomewhere around 40 to 50
percent unemployment.
And uh and that will continueto increase as robots and
artificial intelligence takeover almost every type of job um
(08:16):
that is out there.
Again, not meant to scare you.
There are some things that youcan do, and of course, I'll do
an upcoming episode about that,um, interviewing one of my
guests, and we can talk aboutsome ideas for you.
Uh anyway, so artificialintelligence, jobs, big deal.
That's gonna be a big deal.
We're gonna have somebreathtaking moments this year
in 2026 of revelations about uhtechnology that has been
(08:37):
developed through artificialintelligence that's going to
really begin to transform ourworld as we know it.
Some of those uh uh revelationswill be uh um in healthcare.
We're gonna have some somewonderful um technology come out
that's going to allow us tofinally begin to really deal
with um illnesses and diseasethat we previously thought were
(08:58):
incurable or couldn't actuallybe improved.
And so we're gonna see a hugefrog leap forward in those
arenas.
Uh um robots are going to beginto enter not just the
workforce.
I mean, we we've already seenthat, but it's going to really
uh begin to frog leap this year.
We're gonna see robots enteringthe workforce and entering
people's homes.
And uh, and I think um whilethat's gonna be really
(09:23):
wonderful, it's also gonnacreate some some some
interesting shifts.
I mean, when when uh houseworkis no longer required, we're
gonna begin to haveconversations about you know the
the you know why why womenshould be encouraged to stay at
home.
Uh or when we have uh robotgirlfriends or schmeck's robots,
(09:44):
which is what they really are,um, how that's going to actually
impact um society as a whole,as well as men, because we have
you know a global mental healthcrisis that's greatly affecting
men.
And I just not sure ifgirlfriend robots are going to
be a great part of that.
I will warn that it is mybelief that we should not be
importing robots from foreigncountries that are made there,
(10:07):
that are owned by othercountries, particularly, you
know, I don't hate China,although I do hate the products
that they produce, particularlyclothing that are garbage that
have ruined the planet.
Um, I don't hate China, but Ialso don't trust China.
And anybody who's naive enoughto, uh I question their their
capabilities.
Uh, so I don't think we shouldbe allowing these advanced
robots in people's homes as theybegin to hit.
(10:29):
Um uh they are there's just somany things that can go wrong
there aside from the spying,which is already going on.
Come on, that's been going onfor 15, 20 years.
I mean, we already have it withsocial media and all these
other things.
Um, but with robots in thehousehold, um, you know, it just
it just puts us in a reallystrange position, uh, especially
(10:51):
if something goes wrong withthem or if they turn on us,
which you know, people laughabout those kind of
conversations, but all of ourscience fiction writers are
futurists, and a lot of whatthey write is based on what they
can see potentially happening.
They're pattern recognizers andthey're sharing through their
vision and their writing whatthey see as a potential.
And while some of them areoutlandish and crazy, a lot of
(11:11):
that stuff is based in inreality.
So anyway, that's my that's myAI uh spiel uh for today.
Uh let me take a look and andsee.
Gotta gotta stay on stay on myon top of my list so I don't get
off on uh on a tangent here.
You know, I love to talk aboutartificial intelligence.
Oh, we are gonna have before Ifinish AI, we are going to have
the beginning of the incidentsthat you hear people talking
(11:35):
about.
Like you'll see it in uhdystopian movies or novels about
AI going off the rails.
That is going to begin tohappen more frequently.
We're gonna have a couple ofshockers this year of us taking
a moment to say, ooh, we have norules, no regulations, no real
laws around artificialintelligence.
Is that really that great of anidea?
I mean, I get that we want tosee uh breakthroughs, we want to
(11:57):
get the economy moving forward,but allowing people who have
the tech industry has provenover the last 25 years that they
will screw over our privacy,our mental health, uh, you know,
everything.
They'll sell out our data, allof that stuff to make a buck and
to get control.
And it'll allow the governmentto tell us what to think and do
uh via the closures, if we allremember that.
(12:19):
Um, so they've have a history,a track record of uh messiness.
And uh we just can't have thatwith artificial intelligence
because the kind of messes thatcan happen with AI uh could
actually affect millions ofpeople in the future.
Anyway, so that's AI.
Let's put that aside.
Uh uh next on my list is uhwe're gonna have breakthroughs
in terms of understanding humanconsciousness.
(12:39):
You know, I talk aboutconsciousness a lot.
This is an edgy spiritualpodcast for people who love
conscious living.
Uh, consciousness is we've beenpushing it forward, we've been
raising our level, um,particularly, you know, the
people who are spiritual andmindful uh based.
We've been really pushing thatforward.
Uh while, meanwhile, inparallel, science and research
(13:00):
researchers have been trying tounderstand uh human
consciousness.
It's my belief that it existsoutside of our body.
And this is one of the reasonswhy we're all connected to each
other and our heart and ourbrain work in uh uh
(13:21):
communication with it uh todrive our consciousness forward.
And uh I think we're gonna seescience make some real
breakthroughs and beginning tounderstand and prove that um to
us.
And I think that's reallyimportant, you know, things like
telepathic abilities.
When when, you know, if you'veseen my recent documentary, uh
Nirvana, A Psychic's Wild andInspiring Journey to Nirvana,
(13:44):
uh, you know, I talk about uhtelepathy and telepathic
experiences.
I believe it's perfectly normaland that we've sort of
forgotten how to do it becauselanguage has gotten in the way.
Um, and for us to be able toreally tap back into those
abilities, we're gonna need thescience community to begin to
finally support that.
And I think some of thoseconsciousness breakthroughs are
gonna help to begin to supportthe understanding of what those
types of talents and gifts arethat some of us still have and
(14:07):
many of us have forgotten.
So consciousness is gonna be ona part of the conversation this
year.
Next on my list, energybreakthroughs.
You know, we need some bigbreakthroughs in the energy
world just to help us deal withuh not only the the issues
around artificial intelligenceand the planet, I mean, they're
inhaling more fresh water thanentire countries, and uh, and
(14:30):
that's a that's a big problem.
Uh, and I'm I uh without somebreakthroughs, that's gonna
continue to be an issue for usto continue to advance um our
technology and of course uh uhtake our space program even
further to other planets and tobe able to inhabit other
planets, we're going to needsome energy breakthroughs, and
we're gonna see some of thatcome to fruition this year,
(14:52):
which I'm really excited about.
There's a lot going on uh interms of research and
development with energy uh atplaces like CERN, but all over
the world.
And of course, there's a lot ofsecret research, but we're
gonna hear about some realbreakthroughs this year, which I
think is super exciting.
Uh, next on the list, which isin conjunction with that, uh, is
the space race.
Uh uh the space race is gonnacontinue to heat up.
(15:14):
You know, we're moving towardsa world where Star Wars and Star
Trek uh things like that are areal reality, uh, uh
particularly perhaps in mylifetime.
Um, I've been shown visions ofthis incredible world that is
very much like Star Trek andStar Wars uh that we're gonna be
living in.
Uh other planets offer upelements that we need more of.
(15:37):
Um, and they offer up elementsuh in forms that we don't
necessarily have much of or anabundance of are able to reach
here on this planet.
And so the space race is isn'tjust about a bunch of
billionaires uh having a hobbyor a bunch of rich people going
on a tour of space.
It really is about bringing uhcarrying human consciousness out
(15:58):
into the universe to expand itbecause when our planet dies, we
need to be able to bring thebeauty of the human experience
and the human create ability tocreate to other planets.
But uh, you know, to do that,we need to continue to advance
our space programs.
I'm a huge fan of the spaceprograms and NASA and the work
that they do.
I actually think they're themost incredible uh department
(16:20):
that we have in the country interms of the work that they do.
Uh we're gonna have a lot of uhuh successes there, some
advancements there.
We're also gonna have, youknow, some not us particularly
here in America, but on theplanet.
You we've got this, there's aspace race going on because all
the countries, particularlyChina, are trying to get there
first.
And um, it's important that westay really committed to that
(16:41):
and we continue to uh supportit.
Um we're gonna have someincidents on the planet of
people who are racing to space.
Um that's just part of whathappens when we advance new
technologies and we do thingsthat are dangerous in the
beginning to figure out how todo them in a non-dangerous way,
and that is, of course, uhspace.
Um let's not be naive aboutforeign countries.
(17:03):
I hear people talking about,especially tech bros.
You know, I know I rag on thetech bros a lot, but they've
done they've done a lot ofdamage to America with their
greed and their treatment of theof most human beings as being
beneath them.
Um but um uh you know it's it'sreally important that we
understand uh that that justbecause we're hearing about
(17:27):
certain things doesn't mean weknow everything.
China's not sharing all of theresearch they're doing with us,
and they're not sharing thebreakthroughs that they're
having with us because they'renot dumb that way.
And um uh and so it's naive ofus to say when I hear tech
brothers say, oh, they'rethey're only using AI in this
way and that way, they're notdoing it in this way or that
(17:47):
way.
And it's like, you why are youtalking like you actually know
the arrogance that that requiresis kind of breathtaking.
So let's not be naive.
That's why we have to supportthe space program.
Um, I do foresee, you know,space battles in the future.
Uh you know, these these thesehuge these advanced spacecraft
that we build are going to needto defend themselves, and
(18:09):
eventually that leads to uhpirates and cowboys and uh all
sorts of craziness going on inspace.
That's all very realistic.
I know it sounds like like somewild fantasy from a book, but
it's not.
When you have people who arefully capable of building a
rocket with AI, that's going tobe become easier and easier.
Eventually it's going to leadto people who aren't, don't have
necessarily have loyalty to acountry, uh getting out there in
(18:32):
space, trying to greedily runafter, you know, just just as a
make one up, like say it'stitanium or silver or gold or
whatever it is.
Um uh we're gonna be in a race.
And when you have people whodon't have uh any loyalty to
anybody, that's gonna eventuallylead to uh battles.
And so uh things are gonna getrather colorful out in space.
(18:52):
Out this isn't next year, butthis is definitely in in my
lifetime, um, I believe.
Anyway, so that's a space race.
Stop thinking it's just a bunchof billionaires trying to get
rich, it's really about uh aboutmaking sure that humanity
continues uh and that we can uhcontinue to supply uh our needs
here on this planet.
Next on my list is a serioustopic.
(19:13):
Not try to always uh belighthearted, but uh terrorism
is uh is a big deal.
Um and I I I am sorry if Ioffend people, but I'm very
blunt about things.
I do not think that um Islam uhis in works with Western
culture, uh, just the way thatthey treat their women, the way
(19:36):
that they talk about them beinganimals, the fact that they
think it's okay to marrychildren.
Uh and this is not obviouslyall I'm not referring
specifically to the people whopractice their uh Muslim
religion.
I'm talking about extremists.
They are all over the planetand they are all over America
because our politicians decidedthat they would import 20
million voters, uh, even thoughthey're not loyal to the
(19:57):
country.
Not sure why they thought theywould vote, um, if they're not
loyal to anybody, but theydecided to import 20 million
people into this country, and wehave thousands of people who
hate America in this country.
We also have a problem, amental health problem in this
country with particularly uhlonely young men and angry older
(20:17):
men.
Uh, it's not it's almost alwaysmen, let's be honest.
Almost always the terroristsare men.
Uh, we are gonna continue tohave incidents, um, lone wolves
that are both domestic citizensas well as uh uh foreign illegal
uh immigrants who uh slid intothe country because they were
allowed to, that are going to dothings that are terrifying and
(20:40):
you know horrible.
Um, that's just a reality.
Uh, we have not seen a decreasein uh lone wolf uh attacks.
Uh this was one of thepredictions I had last year
about this year, uh 2025, havingsome really scary lone wolf
attacks.
We had, you know, everythingfrom President Trump to Charlie
Kirk.
And of course, that's alldebatable based on your personal
(21:00):
beliefs, but either way, um Itit involved a lonely and unhappy
uh young person who decided todo something um horrible.
Uh and um so terrorism is gonnabe a big deal uh this year.
We also have uh a you know, wehave a very obvious battle going
on between illegal immigrantsum who hate this country and our
(21:21):
current administration, and umand uh as they get continue to
get deported, some of them aregoing to act out.
Um and uh so be aware, becommunicative if you see
something, say something.
Uh don't assume and don't doubtyour intuition.
We're taught to do that, andit's just such a mistake.
Anyway, next on my list is umred pill toxic mint uh mint
(21:47):
speaker, podcaster, uh datingcoaches versus uh real adult,
mature, admirable men, are gonnahave kind of a battle this
year.
You know, we've been I've beenbitching, let's be honest, for a
really long time about the factthat um men needed to step up
and to help deal with this issuewith uh the hatred that men
(22:07):
have and the abuse that men uhuh treat women with, and that
you know, the attitudes, thereally unhealthy attitudes,
particularly from the red pillbros.
I mean, some of the things thatI have heard just in the last
week are absolutely shocking.
It's commentary that I neverheard in my entire lifetime.
And I've heard some reallycontroversial people.
That kind of poison is isreally harming our younger
(22:30):
generations, and it's in it'semboldening our uh angry older
generations.
And it's actually one of thereasons why women have stopped
getting married and stoppedwanting to date because they're
sick of being mommy, they'resick of being the, you know,
doing all the labor and workinguh full time and paying half the
bills.
Um, those men are going tobegin to get counterbalanced by
(22:53):
um a surge of men who actuallyare genuine adult, mature men
who are pouring back into thecommunity of humanity and
they're trying to help other menunderstand what uh how to
develop emotional intelligenceand mental wellness.
And so we're gonna see a realbattle between those two.
I honestly think that red pillcontent is one of the most
(23:14):
horrific things I've ever seenin our culture.
But you know what it's done?
It's it's shown me that myintuition about just how many
sick people are out there, andthere are sick women, you guys.
This is not a video.
I never whenever you hear metalk about these things, it's
because we have a statisticalamount of something that is so
notable and so damaging that itneeds to be addressed in a
(23:35):
really serious way.
So whenever I say, you know,men are doing this, I am not
referring to all men, and Inever will because I know a lot
of really wonderful men in theworld.
Um we needed this uh battle tobe able to see just how bad it
was.
And I honestly think that a lotof uh good guys really didn't
know just how bad it was untilthey started to hear a lot of
(23:56):
this awful red pill content andtoxic masculine content, which
is basically preaching um uhhate and control women, use them
uh and abuse them, which iswhat that is when you're
treating them as second-classcitizens.
And I think in themexperiencing that, they've begun
to see that women cannot fixthis problem.
We never could, and men havegot to stop counting on women to
(24:18):
fix all of these issues.
Anyway, that um leads me to thenext topic.
Uh, social media is gonna gothrough an interesting year.
We're gonna see, you know, it'sgonna continue to be a huge
part of our life because it'swhere we get our news, but we're
going to see um burnout beginto take hold of a lot of people
who are tired of thegaslighting, uh, rage bait,
(24:40):
negativity, uh, the fakecontent, the lies, uh, the
people who are willing to say ordo whatever it is to get
attention.
You know, we got a bunch, wegot a bunch of attention whores
who are willing to stand on on acorner of some kind of topic uh
that they're gonna beat todeath, whether it's hating men
or hating women or you know,hating a society or just being
(25:03):
uh, you know, an awful personwho likes to say nasty things
because it gets them engagement.
We're gonna see that all ofthat and the the fact that
social media has become nothingbut pay-to-play across all of
them.
All of them are doing it now.
Every single one of them.
I it makes me sad for TikTokbecause I used to really love
TikTok and I still enjoy it, butum, it's lost a lot of its glow
(25:24):
because it's it's shrammingads, ramming uh, you know,
content that contains umshopping uh links and affiliate
linking in it.
And um, and it's also promotingthe content that's getting the
most engagement or that's beingpaid for, and a lot of that's
really negative uh content, andthat's really leading people,
(25:44):
you know, two or three years agowhen we were all stuck indoors
because of the closures, we sawthis big surge in social media
use because people neededsomething to do and they needed
to connect with each other, andit was wonderful for that.
I mean, people could thespiritual community for one
connected all over the planet,and it was really incredible.
But um uh because of the theability to make any money off of
(26:08):
it at some point, it led to alot of this other other content
that's gonna cause people toburn out.
And also, it takes a lot oftime.
And if you're not willing tospend a good chunk of money and
it doesn't really make adifference in your career,
you're gonna see a lot of peoplebegin to pull back.
And I also think that we'regoing to see a trend of it being
uh chic to be mysterious, tonot always be everywhere, to not
(26:31):
be posting every single day, tonot be constantly checking and
communicating and to reallyfocus on your lived experience.
And we all know social media isnot real, it's not real life.
I mean, is the content real?
Is some of the lessons therereal, some of the negativity
real?
Of course, but it's not reallife.
And this is something I'vepromised myself uh this year
that I would also do, which isto begin to limit my um uh use
(26:53):
of social media.
So that's gonna be veryinteresting to see.
I have to tell you, I as acommunications pioneer who
created influencer marketing andbrand communications, it is it
amazes me how many, how manytimes we've had a social media
app come out.
They're amazing, fantastic,they build creator community,
they build a huge audience, andthen they get investors and they
(27:15):
get greedy and they end up uhscrewing over the creators, and
then eventually that leads toscrewing over the people who
actually are on the socialmedia.
It's supposed to be social,meaning it's in it's
conversation back and forth.
But if you have to pay forthat, then you've lost the plot.
You shouldn't just youshouldn't be called social media
anymore.
Just just be just be media.
Uh anyway, next on my list isbased on all this, uh, you know,
(27:38):
where we're at with um womenstepping back from uh marriage
and dating and just just beingwith men in general because
they've just had it.
Um, and that's not to say thatall men are bad, but you know,
men have been been just restingon their laurels, resting on
their privilege for a reallylong time.
And I've been talking aboutthis for years that men needed
to just step up and start togrow up because it was gonna
(27:59):
implode, and here we are.
Um, marriage and birth ratesare gonna continue uh to stay
low, if not greater, even more.
Uh and um and you know, uh, Ithink you know, we it's a
pendulum effect.
I think we'll see a return uhon some level.
I I don't think we'll ever getto the numbers that we had
(28:20):
before.
Um, but it, you know, hopefullywith men finally stepping up to
improve their emotionalintelligence um and become
better partners, better fathers,better husbands, boyfriends,
all of that.
And and women also growing upand not becoming, because a lot
of women are very dependent,they've been trained to be, but
they're dependent on men.
So we've got kind of like thesemultiple forces going on at
(28:41):
once.
Um, hopefully we see that shiftuh in the future.
Uh next on my list is uhDemocrats and Republicans.
So the Democrats, boy, havethey had a really rough year and
they deserved it, frankly.
They've deserved it for areally long time.
The the preachy behavior andthe uh the way that they were
(29:02):
treating people that wereconservatives.
I mean, I know that my contentwas shadow banned many times uh
uh over the years because of uhthe me being honest about my
thoughts and opinions aboutthings, and you know, the the
constant lecturing and tellingus that if we didn't live or
believe a certain way, that wewere horrible human beings and
didn't deserve rights.
(29:22):
Well, you know, they're kind ofpaying for the all of that now,
and they have been for a while,and also the the craziness that
goes on, the extreme views, thethe people who work who are uh
politicians within their partythat hate America.
I mean, that is just so weird.
Um, the Democrats are gonnacontinue to be a bit of a mess,
although they are gonna start toget back on stable footing
(29:43):
because they want to really umtry to re-establish themselves.
Uh, and the only way I believethey can do that is to to stop
it with the extremists and startto sound like they're actually
sane.
Uh, but uh we'll see.
We we will see.
Um, and uh on the opposite endof that, you know, Republicans
um are will continue to you knowdominate because they're in all
(30:06):
the power positions.
Um, however, they are stumblingright now, and I've been
talking about this a lot lately.
The the forcing the Christian,the conservative Christian, it's
not even about being Christian,because I'm a New Age Christian
mystic myself, but I've alsobeen around a really long time,
and I'm very familiar with thephases of Christianity, the
language, and the reasons whyit's it's it's lost its uh shine
(30:29):
uh over recent decades.
The forcing, the pushing ofChristian nationalism and the
conservative Christian movementslash um Israeli love fest that
is going on right now, it'sactually doing a lot of damage.
It may not be showing thatdamage may not be showing itself
because they're like, oh, lookat all the new people who are
showing up.
It's like, no, those are notreally new people.
They were already Christians,the vast majority of them.
(30:52):
They just uh had a concert togo to.
Um, but ramming that downpeople's throats is actually
going to be a problem.
Uh, I really want to see uscontinue on the path that we're
on where we're fixing a lot ofthe issues that we've had
historically in America.
Um, I do not think the pathforward is promoting one or two
particular religions to thepoint where it's being shoved
(31:12):
down our throats on nationalnews.
It's supposed to be the news.
And and having said that, youknow, one of my big challenges
the last three months is how doI speak to my disgust with the
the whole way that the turningpoint Charlie Kirk situation has
unfolded and some of thechoices.
I mean, the tent recreationphoto op, like, ugh, like it
just it just turns my stomach.
(31:34):
Um, because it's all attentioneconomy stuff.
It's a mistake, and and umthere's some weird, there's some
real weirdness going on there.
I think it's a big mistake forfor repo I actually think that
Republicans are are weaving therope in which they could
actually hang JD Vance's chancesat being president if they keep
going in this direction.
(31:55):
They're under they'reovervaluing people who were
already Christians um or fromthat background and undervaluing
all the people from the left inthe middle that moved over to
vote for Donald Trump.
And I think it's a mistake forthat to keep to keep being done.
I mean, I get wanting to have acountry that's loyal and having
spirituality be promoted, butthere's a massive difference
(32:18):
between spirituality and tellingpeople what God to believe in,
how to refer to him, and thefact that you're gonna go to
heaven and hell if you don't docertain things.
I mean, it's 2025.
Come now.
Really.
You guys have a golden throneright now.
Let's not let's not melt itwith stupidity.
Um, anyway, okay, so my last uhtwo topics Hollywood and
(32:39):
celebrities are gonna continueto struggle.
We'll have a few of thecelebrities that are uh wise and
and they know how to reallyplay the game, but the vast
majority of celebrities thatwe've had over recent decades
will continue to disappearbecause people just don't have
the bandwidth.
They don't care.
Their lives are too challengedby the economy, the lack of
jobs, the housing costs, and allof that to give a flying toot
(33:01):
about what some person who wasin a movie thinks about
something.
We'll have a few people who cannavigate that really well, but
the vast majority of them willcontinue to struggle.
Hollywood is going to continueto struggle.
They will try some interestingnew things this year to see if
they can kind of find a newfooting to be on.
Um, unless they change some ofthe ways they're approaching
(33:22):
things, they're going tocontinue to get smaller and
smaller.
I mean, let's be real,Hollywood hasn't an original
idea in a long time on a largescale.
Sure.
Are some of the streaming showsreally uh interesting and
different?
Absolutely.
But um, they were their ownworst enemy by preaching to
people about how they shouldbelieve and think for far too
long and in a reallycondescending way by telling
(33:44):
people they needed to getexperimental shots and that they
should be fired or lose theirjob or life or be imprisoned if
they didn't do certain things.
Like I remember watching thatunfold and I was like, what is
going on?
Of course now I know most ofthem are being paid.
Democrats.
And on that note, we betterhave a conversation about the
number of influencers from bothconservative and liberal sides
(34:05):
who are taking tens of thousandsof dollars from political
parties doing content, which allsounds the same, and they're
not posting that that content ispaid for.
I thought that was against FCCrules.
Where is the FCC?
Where is it?
Is it not saying anythingbecause now Republicans are
using the same method?
Like, what is this about?
Anyway, that's gonna beinteresting.
(34:25):
And my last one for thisepisode on my predictions for
2026, the rise of purpose, youknow, as we have many, many,
many people like Amazon justlaid off 30,000 people because
of AI.
As we have tens of thousands,hundreds of thousands of people
lose their jobs, we're gonnahave a lot of people who you
lose what used to be how they uhgenerated their sense of
(34:47):
purpose.
And it was their identity.
I know this from personalexperience.
Being an agency owner and amarketing PR pioneer, that was
my identity for a really longtime.
And when um I finally realizedthat that's what I was doing and
changing my life that way wasthe best thing I ever did.
Very hard work.
Um, but that's the hard workthat a lot of people are gonna
have ahead of them as they losewhat was once their identity and
(35:11):
their sense of purpose.
And that situation is gonnacontinue to get worse as the age
of AI really takes off and wehave millions of people who lose
their jobs.
Um, and that's just, you know,it's not being negative, it's
just the reality.
The matrix is collapsing.
And I don't mean like, youknow, I mean, it's close to the
matrix from the movies, but Iknow when I say that sometimes
people are like, oh God, here wego with the matrix.
(35:33):
But it is actually just a goodword to reference the fact that
a handful of people and ahandful of systems control the
most people, the vast majorityof people, and they're not
taking care of them and they'redraining us dry.
I mean, all the things that wefound out this last year about
all the billions and if nottrillions of dollars that have
been stolen, particularly by alot of Democrats and their NGO
buddies.
Uh, and I'm not sayingRepublicans haven't done it as
(35:55):
well.
It's just we've reallydiscovered how the uh Democrats
were planning on engineering apresidential election and to
control the country for the next10 or 15 years by importing a
bunch of people that theyassumed would vote for them.
Um, that matrix has collapsed alot in 2025.
It's gonna continue to umcollapse this coming year.
Uh and uh it's gonna be it'sgonna be spicy, interesting year
(36:19):
for all of us.
So don't have have faith in thefact that a lot of human beings
like you and I are awake on theplanet and we're trying to lead
with love, but also lead withwith honesty and and be more
than willing to flip a table ortwo when the conversation
demands it.
Um anyway, those are mypredictions for 2026.
