mp got elected and he took office. So the Democrats just very quickly distributed 93 billion. Huh. I wonder where this story will go. Ninety-three billion dollars. Was it audited or was it unaudited? Seems to have been unaudited. Unaudited. So there was a 93 billion pile of money. It was unaudited. How could I ever predict what would happen here? Oh, I've got an idea. Is a lot of it missing? Well…
← Previous segment →their best people on explaining it, we might find out soon. Maybe. Maybe something's going to happen.
All right, I'm going to make a bold prediction today. Bold prediction for technology. So you know how for the past, I don't know, few years, I've been saying too often, "Oh, there's a new story about some company making a claim that they can make a battery for cars that lasts twice as long and blah blah blah." But you never see that battery. And it's usually because it's some kind of lab development, not really a real world development yet. You know, it would take years for it to reach the real world.
Well, speaking of the real world, over in China, according to Notebook Check, some big China automotive group is announcing that they've developed an actual manufacturing capability for a battery that would go, they say, about twice as far as the current battery. So about 620 miles, but everybody knows that's an exaggeration because it's a Chinese battery estimate which tends to be about one third higher than reality. However, this one they've completed the first large capacity production line. So now they have the technology, but they're just finishing the tweaking of the production line to actually produce the mass production.
So here's my prediction. When it comes to technology, there are some technologies and batteries are definitely in that category. That's why they're interesting to me. Where a little bit improvement is just a little bit of improvement. Ah, it's 10% better. I'll save some money. Now it's 20% better. Maybe I'll buy an electric car. So when you get these 10 and 20 percent increases in capacity, it's really good and it helps your industry and maybe sometimes you can predict that that means things will develop faster in the electric car space, whatever.
But you're going to reach a point, and here's my prediction, that 2026 is when we reach the point where if you were to double capacity, and a lot of the new battery breakthroughs, they make that claim anyway. They claim they double capacity. You don't have to predict which one of them ends up being the dominant one, the one that works. All you have to know is that there are a whole bunch of technologies that might, if they could figure out how to produce them, double your capacity. If we were to double our current capacity, it would just change everything. Suddenly, robots are not just practical, they're cheap. Electric cars would be everywhere. Self-driving cars would be everywhere. It'd be the only way you'd go anywhere. And you'd be able to build networks that capture the sun power and you still have plenty of capacity to make it all the way overnight.
So I think 2026 is going to be the year of the battery. And I realize that there's a dog not barking in this space which is I don't believe Tesla brags about their new battery technology too far ahead of time. Do they? But when would you ever learn that Tesla came up with a new battery technology and had already built out a mega factory to produce it in mass quantities? You'd probably find out around the time they opened the factory, right? I don't know that they would tell you years in advance and it would take a little while to get that up and running. So the thing I'm expecting is that Tesla will have a substantial battery upgrade announcement that'll either be announced or implemented in 2026. So, 2026, the year of the battery.
All right, let's see if you could do what I could do, which is anticipate this science according to the University of Cambridge. And I want you to listen to this carefully so that you can see if you're as smart as I am. Apparently they already knew that improving your diet could improve your weight. That's something they already knew. They already knew also that exercise could improve your weight. So they knew that diet worked and they knew that exercise worked. So what did they give funding to test? Well, they got funding to test if you combined eating right with exercise, if the two of them would get you a better result than if you only did one or the other. What do you think?
I'm not going to tell you the surprising result. Do you think that if you knew that diet works and you know that exercise works, if you did both of them right, what would happen? Na na. Did you get it? I think one of you buzzed in. That's right. If you do two smarter things that definitely work and every single person in the world knows it, you're going to get a better result than if you did one thing. No, really. Really? I'm not making that up. That's science. Well, next time you don't need to do that science. Just ask Scott.
So I guess we're still talking about the six Democrats who did that video urging people in the military not to follow any illegal orders. Have you noticed a pattern? There's a pattern. And the pa

ttern is that Democrats consistently find things that didn't need to be done and then they do them. They're finding new ways to be useless. What would be more useless than creating a video to remind people in the military not to do the thing that every one of them already knows not to do and reminding them also that they should talk to their JAG officer if there's some gray area? Do you think tha…
