The Doomscroll News Show & David Gross

You’ve heard the sales pitch: "The biggest tax break in a generation." But in California, that golden ticket might actually be a burning building. Today, we’re tearing down the "California Opportunity Zone Mirage." We’ll expose how a lack of state tax conformity, vanishing insurance markets, and predatory gentrification are turning these so-called "miracle cures" into financial traps. It's time to follow the money and look past the illusion.

Does "reproducible" always mean "true"? In this episode, we open the dossier on a controversial audit of Palestinian Studies in American universities. We're moving past the headlines to look at the "Yellow" rating—a warning sign that the field may be built on unverified data and billions in opaque foreign funding. Join us as we deconstruct how the "Activist-Scholar" model might be compromising the very definition of objective research.

Welcome back to the file. Today, we’re cracking open the "BRICS Dossier." It sounds like a geopolitical thriller, but it’s actually a story about high-stakes academia in the Bronx. We’re digging into a forensic audit that accuses a major institute of "Scientific Mimicry"—basically, dressing up standard surveys in the costume of Artificial Intelligence. Is it innovation, or is it a multi-million dollar illusion? Let’s look under the hood.

Imagine paying millions for a fleet of vans that might not even exist. In Minneapolis, a transportation contract capped at USD 3.6 million quietly ballooned to over $7 million. How did it happen? It’s a story of "ghost fleets," legislative loopholes, and a system that turned public schools into a pass-through for cash. Today, we’re breaking down the anatomy of a perfect financial storm.

Today is Wednesday, January 7th, 2026. I’ve been tracking the news all day—from the shooting to the markets and defense stocks—and frankly, it is a mixed bag. While there were bright spots in the morning, the situation on the ground and the failure of leadership by the evening has forced me to rethink where we stand.

Here is the breakdown of what is happening and why I am calling for a major shift in strategy.

We started the day on a high note. The press conference with RFK Jr., Brooke Rollins, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Martin Makary was excellent. There is real science coming down the pipeline that is going to benefit everyone.

Similarly, Karoline Leavitt did a fantastic job. Her press conference regarding Venezuela was clear, concise, and exactly what we needed. I also heard late reports that the Georgia Governor has declared a special election, which is great news regarding MTG.

Things fall apart when we look at Minneapolis. Mayor Jacob Frey is completely out of his depth. He has no experience with terrorism or military strategy—has he ever even been to Israel? You cannot call a man like this to testify as an expert witness; he is effectively functionally illiterate regarding law enforcement concepts.

We have fraudsters, traffickers, and radical ideologies flooding the streets, and our elected officials have never read a book on military strategy.

Fox News—both the national LiveNOW coverage and the local Fox 9 Minneapolis affiliate—hit a record low today. They are botching the coverage and effectively aiding an insurrection.

The rhetoric on the streets has become more dangerous than the Civil War. We are seeing groups using specific dialects—likely Venezuelan—and flaunting foreign flags. This is an attempt to incite a race war.

I am announcing formally that I am suing Apple and Governor Gavin Newsom in federal court. They have deliberately disrupted my business over the last 10 years, specifically regarding wildfire data and App Store manipulation. I will be issuing a 60-day notification soon. I encourage others to sue these entities and the federal government as well.

This is the hardest part to say, but it is necessary. I am fed up with the lack of leadership from President Trump.

We have a great team with a terrible coach. Trump is letting the RINOs and the swamp creatures (like Sara Carter as Drug Czar) back in. He is allowing flash mobs and insurrections to continue because he won't put the cuffs on criminals.

I am starting to think about the 25th Amendment. We do not need to impeach, but we need competence. I want JD Vance. We need a Marine with a military background who understands siege tactics and will restore law and order.

The Republicans need to figure out what they stand for, or we are going to lose to communism.

Today was a massive day for Republicans. From the geopolitical chessboard in Greenland to the "acoustic warfare" happening in our own Congress, there is a lot to break down. Here is the report for the day.

There is a major diplomatic battle unfolding regarding President Trump’s move to annex Greenland. The opposition—led by Denmark, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Poland—is forming a "bandwagon" of resistance. However, their front is weaker than it looks.

While the "Sleepy Three" (Macron, Starmer, and Scholz/Merz) are crying about international law, a silent majority including Hungary, the 3+1 Framework nations (Greece, Cyprus, Israel), and surprisingly the European Commission, are effectively siding with the Trump administration or remaining neutral.

Germany is the weak link in the European blockade. Chancellor Merz is playing a dangerous game:

The Strategy: We must flip Germany. If Germany withdraws support for the joint statement—perhaps in exchange for trade or missile guarantees—Denmark loses its economic shield. Without German backing, the resistance crumbles, forcing Denmark to the negotiating table for a sovereignty transfer.

I have developed a new ranking system for the psychological warfare being used by the Left. I call it the Acoustic Trojan Horse. Democrats and certain judges are using monotony, soft-spoken delivery, and rhythmic repetition to induce a trance-like state of compliance. This is sedation, not governance.

The Sedative Scan Profile:

The Counter-Measure:

We need "Arousal Agitators" like Jim Jordan (The Machine Gun). Their high-variance, staccato delivery breaks the sedative spell and keeps Americans engaged!

I published an article today challenging Governor DeSantis on his proposed stock bans. While he is right about ESG and woke capitalism, his approach to the stock market is flawed.

Representative Thomas Massie, an MIT alumnus, conducted a poll on X last year regarding War Powers that I allege was heavily manipulated by bots (foreign?).

This is a national security issue. MIT receives billions in Federal defense funding (Lincoln Laboratory) specifically for AI and cybersecurity research.1 If MIT cannot verify whether their own high-profile alumnus is being puppeted by adversarial bots, they are not compliant with security standards.

The Plan: Flag MIT for non-compliance. Pause their funding until they perform an audit on the digital influence campaign surrounding Massie poll(s). We cannot fund institutions that turn a blind eye to digital warfare against our officials.

I had a lot to cover tonight—from foreign policy and the Venezuela situation to the breaking news out of Minnesota regarding Tim Walz and Amy Klobuchar. I’ve been watching the news all day, and I have some original analysis that goes beyond the mainstream narrative.

Here is the breakdown of what is really happening.

Tim Walz has announced he won't seek a third term, abruptly resigning amid "scrutiny." The media calls it a welfare fraud scandal involving billions, but it goes much deeper. There are bodies involved—specifically a state-level crime from last summer.

The Strategy:

You cannot simply drag Walz in front of Congress for questioning while Amy Klobuchar remains free. Klobuchar is the bigger fish; she is the Senator connected to the entire apparatus.

Regarding the Venezuela situation, House Foreign Affairs Chairman Rep. Mast gave the best briefing today, "Trumping" Lindsay Graham. Mast explicitly labeled our allies (Israel, Japan) versus "partners" (NATO/EU), a distinction that matters.

However, the media spin is in full force:

Hakeem Jeffries gave a terrible speech today. He represents a "managed decline" of the American dream.

The Democrats are heading for a landslide loss—I’m predicting an 80/20 split in favor of Republicans. The treason is too obvious now. We are going to see thousands of arrests, and the "managed decline" will end.

I spent most of the day digging through the noise, bypassing the usual pundits, and getting articles up on the site. While the mainstream media and the alternative "echo chamber" are parroting the same talking points, I’ve been conducting my own analysis on foreign policy, the history of intelligence failures, and the domestic threats we are ignoring.

Here is the breakdown of what is actually happening.

While everyone is distracted by political narratives, a tangible coalition has formed: CRINK (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea).1

The media is busy downplaying North Korea or focusing solely on Iran, but they are missing the logistical reality. North Korea is mass-producing nuclear warheads—potentially numbering in the thousands—and sophisticated missiles. We are seeing a disparity in warfare: Ukraine has "smart" weapons, but the opposition has a 10-to-1 advantage in "dumb," mass-produced weaponry.

This isn't just about infantry or jungles anymore; it is about the Art of the Missile.

This brings me to Venezuela. The conservative media, including Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, are failing the public by framing Venezuela solely through the lens of the Monroe Doctrine or isolationism. They ignore the technical reality: Venezuela is a platform for electronic warfare. It’s not just about land; it’s about antennas. Just as we monitor signals, adversaries use Venezuela for spectrum analysis and missile guidance. Ignoring this to score isolationist political points is suicidal.

To understand 2026, we have to look at the lies of the past.

The media—CNN, NYT, and Fox—spun the narratives then, and the new "alternative" media is spinning them now. They are attempting to vilify George W. Bush and rewrite history to suit current political agendas, often covering up the "red on blue" attacks and the chaos that actually defined the occupation.

There is a disturbing silence regarding the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk. My research points to a specific radicalization hub: Fordham University.

We need to look at the timeline:

I believe the environment at Fordham, fueled by these faculty members and foreign funding, fostered the ideology that rationalized the attack on Kirk. The FBI has done nothing.

I am officially done with the spin doctors. Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and Michael Savage are misleading the younger generation. They act as historians, but they are five steps behind the reality.

These figures are leading the country toward a collapse by refusing to address the reality of missile warfare and the "CRINK" alliance.

We are in an era where truth is hard to come by. I paid $1,000 for a signed copy of President Trump’s book specifically to verify the existence of the Kim Jong-un letters—to see the primary source myself. They won't ship the book.

If we cannot verify primary sources, and if the media (both left and right) deletes history, we are flying blind.

Finally, a word on Texas. The state is too big, and the governance is failing. Despite the hype, bodies are showing up, and crime is rampant in places like Fort Worth. AI cannot fix a state government that is fundamentally overwhelmed. Governor Abbott and the Texas leadership are letting the state crumble while focusing on political theater.

We are facing a power vacuum, not just abroad, but here at home.

Davids Note: Updates are live on doomscrollnews.com. Some are rough drafts, but the information is there.

They aren't just building prototypes anymore. In this episode, we crack open the "Arsenal of Juche" report to reveal a terrifying shift: North Korea has evolved from a noisy neighbor into a factory of mass destruction. We're talking about a war machine now fueled by Russian cash and Chinese tech, pumping out drones and nuclear subs at an industrial scale. If you think you know the threat, think again—it’s 2026, and the rules have changed.

Today is a historic day. We woke up to news I never dreamed would happen this quickly: We got Maduro.

Congratulations to everyone involved. I watched the airstrikes, I saw the reports, and I have been locked in all day. This operation was a well-oiled machine—from the initial breach to the jail cell in a single day. "Alpha to Omega."

This is exactly what we voted for. This is a massive victory for the GOP, for the Hispanic community, and a perfect way to start the New Year.

This was a massive coordination of military might and political will.

I’ve analyzed the global response, sorting the noise from the signal.

I need to address Elon Musk. He tweeted congratulations to President Trump and put up an American flag, but let’s be clear: Musk is a tourist in this victory.

When Marco Rubio was getting death threats from the Venezuelan regime years ago, Musk was silent. Back in the Obama years, Musk was the "teacher's pet" of a dumb energy experiment. He needed high gas prices to sell Teslas. If the USA had taken out Maduro in 2014 and flooded the market with cheap oil, Tesla might have gone bankrupt.

Musk let dictators breathe because it helped his stock price. Now that we are winning, he wants to wave the flag? Too little, too late. He played both sides, selling to Islam while criticizing the Squad. We see you, Elon. You didn't start this. Delta Force did.

This operation exposes the lies of the Left.

We must remain vigilant. Russia and China will respond.

We are back on track. This wasn't another Iraq or Afghanistan; this was a precise removal of a cancer in our hemisphere. The axis of evil has been plotting against us for decades, and today, we flushed them out.

America, F* Yeah.**
