Verdict Open

No major US or Canadian public pension system has gone bankrupt. Social Security's trust fund is projected to deplete around 2033-34, which would cut benefits to roughly 77-81% rather than end them, and the CPP is rated sustainable by its Chief Actuary. The window runs to 2035.

Society & culture

Immigrant shares of population in Australia, Canada, Germany and other Western countries will keep rising, producing more ethnic tension and anti-immigrant protests.

Anti-immigrant protests did grow: 'March for Australia' rallies turned violent days after the video (31 Aug 2025), and the 13 Sept 2025 Unite the Kingdom rally in London drew up to 150,000 (26 officers injured). But Canada cut permanent-resident targets (500k planned to 395k in 2025, 380k in 2026, 365k in 2027), so immigrant shares are not simply rising everywhere.

Britain's Online Safety Act (criminalizing 'bad' online speech) will be replicated throughout the Western world.

Online safety and age-verification rules are spreading (Australia's under-16 social media ban from 10 Dec 2025; EU and French measures), but Canada's Online Harms Act died in Jan 2025 and the US has not followed, so it has not passed 'everywhere'. Early signs partly for.

Money will be diverted from public schooling, health care and other spending into pensions because the powerful elderly will demand it.

This is an open-ended trend claim. Pension and old-age spending keep growing as a share of budgets, and the US cut Medicaid in 2025 while protecting Social Security, but no clear, explicit diversion of school or health funds into pensions has been documented.

How calls are found and checked

Each transcript was read in full by an AI model to pull out predictions, with the exact quote and timestamp. Each one was then checked with web search against events up to the update date, with sources linked.

How the hit rate works

Spot a mistake? Report it. Hit rate = (came true + ½ partly) ÷ resolved calls. Claims that were already underway when he made them are left out. Open calls haven't reached a verdict; Unresolvable ones are too vague ever to check. Verdicts are AI-assisted and may contain errors.
