My 2026- 2028 predictions:

- Vance will become president, eligible for 2 more consecutive elections
- Alito & Thomas will retire. Giving GOP 5 of 9 YOUNG, ultra-conservatives

Schulz: The first time we said something about them discarding the Epstein stuff, the White House gave a statement like, 'Oh, Andrew Schulz, blah blah blah.' I should have known right there that they were covering it up. To even respond to me, that means that they're in immediate 'oh shit' mode.
