ncidence. Now the other thing that people suggested is that the accuser is actually a writer and she might have actually been the source of the plot. Maybe somebody knew her and heard the story and they were a writer for the SVU so it might not be a coincidence. It might be that the TV show was based on the real reported incident which probably wasn't real. All right it was really amazing to see…

t true. But right now the liberal side let's say CNN, MSNBC are not, they don't seem to be reporting that the Project Veritas stuff is not true and they would easily do that if they believed that to be the case. They're simply ignoring it. So this is sort of a special case where one side is reporting it widely and the other side acts like it doesn't exist and then or at least mostly doesn't exist. Brian Stelter is saying why didn't I see any credible sources for this but here's the thing the Project Veritas is the source. So is he looking for something more credible? Is that what he's saying? I don't know. Looking for a second source? I don't know. But I would say at this point you should at least be asking yourself why you're only seeing this on the conservative side.

I think there might actually be some substance to it. I'd love to talk to him about it. But it's a fringe idea in the sense that the mainstream people are not talking about so much as he is. And he's getting a lot of attention for a very low price. A lot of attention for a very low price of twelve thousand dollars. I think he got over fifty thousand new followers. He got headlines. He's got me talking about it. I mean you're talking about him. Very good play.

Now I don't think Andrew Yang can become the nominee. I think that the Democrats just don't have the right, I don't feel for him. He might be a more serious player in a future election but I think he could, he's got a chance of making the top

four by the end. So I would say that Yang will get into the top four. That's gonna be my prediction before the Democrat primary. Yang will make the top four. So I'll make that my prediction. Let's see somebody asked me about the When. This is associated with my startup and you might know that Eric Finman made two predictions. Eric Finman is the so-called boy genius millionaire who made his first…
