Within the next five years (from December 2025), the New York Times will be sued over a false statement or libel and reach a settlement larger than Fox News's roughly $787 million defamation settlement.
“I think they will in the next five years do something so egregious and over the line akin to some sort of liel or some sort of statement that has turned out to be completely false, they will get sued... the next one, Jason, the next one will go up.”

Explanation
The New York Times lost a real defamation-adjacent suit (the Kai Spears case) for $9.25 million in August 2026, far below the predicted Fox-News-sized ($787 million+) threshold.
Soon after December 2025, the Trump administration (via David Sacks) will issue a national AI policy edict or executive order.
“In China, they're proposing and Sax and President Trump, the amazing President Trump, will be doing an AI national edict soon, I believe, or an executive order.”

The Trump administration issued AI-related national policy actions and executive orders in the months following this episode.
Within 2-5 years from December 2025, millions of entry-level jobs will be eliminated due to AI, with taxi drivers being the first occupational group significantly displaced, triggering public protests over job losses.
“Entrylevel jobs. Those are going away. And they're going to go away in the millions in the short to midterm. 2, three, four, five years... you'll see taxi drivers are going to be the first group to do it.”

Explanation
The predicted two-to-five-year window (through roughly 2027-2030) for millions of entry-level jobs to disappear has not fully elapsed.
AI-driven job displacement will not manifest as a sharp two-to-three-year disruption; instead it will unfold gradually over a longer period, such that within 5 years (by around 2030) it will be clear whether large-scale, rapid job loss occurred or not.
“I don't think this is a two to three year time frame thing. This will be the debate of our lifetimes. I predict but look I mean if I'm wrong we'll find out in the next 5 years.”

Explanation
The predicted five-year (by around 2030) resolution window has not yet arrived.
The U.S. unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds, which rose from about 9% in January 2025 to roughly 10.5% by December 2025, will continue climbing to approximately 14%, driven in part by AI-related job displacement.
“Unemployment rate 16 to 24 year olds... 9% in January, now 10 a.5%. I think this chart's going right up to 14%. Just my prediction and I think it's because of AI.”

Explanation
Youth (16-24) unemployment declined to roughly 9% rather than climbing to the predicted 14%.
Nicolas Maduro will not leave power as a result of current U.S. pressure, and the United States will not launch a ground war against Venezuela in the near term.
“This is all an effort to get Maduro to leave. I don't think he's leaving. So, I hope we can live with that. But I just don't think right now is the time for a ground war in South America.”

Explanation
Nicolas Maduro was captured by US forces on January 3, 2026, directly contradicting the prediction that he would not leave power.
