He’s Out of His Gourd | The Coffee Klatch for Saturday, September 19, 2026

Friends,Today, Heather and I take a deep dive into the debate over AI, why Trump is so against regulating it, and whether the CEOs of giant AI corporations who have called for regulation are sincere or seeking cover for the crises to come. We also look at Trump’s increasingly berserk behavior, his $2.8 billion arm’s sale to Israel, the worsening U.S. economy, and the latest on the midterm elections.Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join in the conversation. As mentioned in today’s Klatch, I’m relaunching my “Wealth and Poverty” course here on Substack this coming Monday, September 21. I’ll kick it off with a live “watch-along” of the first class, right here on Substack, on Monday, September 21 at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET. You can use this link to sign up to receive an email when we go live — and the same link will work to watch the live class come Monday.To see Inequality Media’s new film produced by Heather, The Work in Progress, visit our website here: www.theworkinprogressfilm.com.
