A prediction is logged that nothing of significance will happen on the anniversary of 9/11.

Dvorak explains that the physical Red Books were trade show premiums from a company called Memjet. A new, "dangerous" prediction is entered: a "lone wolf" Ron Paul supporter, angry over the Romney endorsement and domestic drone use, will cause a disturbance.

A "Red Book" entry from May 2013 is revisited, in which a host described a vivid dream of Joe Biden becoming president and performing poorly. The hosts present this as a successful long-term prediction of the current political climate, recorded over a decade prior to the events.

President Joe Biden made contradictory statements regarding the status of the pandemic during a recent town hall. Financial analysts noted that Pfizer expects to deliver four billion vaccine doses next year, potentially generating massive revenue through "value-add" products like combined COVID-19 and flu shots. This strategy mirrors historical patterns seen during the swine flu outbreak, where multiple vaccines were bundled for commercial efficiency.

Joel Villanueva donates $326.16 and offers to distribute 33 copies of Michael Crichton's "State of Fear" that he collected from thrift shops.

John C. Dvorak presents a detailed analysis of speaking times for pageant finalists, alleging that Miss New York (Nina Davuluri) was given more time than Miss Florida.

The hosts also praise Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, for her military background and tattoos, contrasting her with the "girl next door" archetype.

The hosts discuss the possibility of a Donald Trump presidency acting as a "reset" for the world, even if he is viewed as a demagogue. They speculate on the risks Trump faces, including potential sex scandals or "unfortunate aviation accidents," similar to the theories surrounding Ross Perot.
