I don’t think Bongino would claim that his views were an attempt to be “prophetic” or even that they are uniquely insightful. It’s kind of like a half-time show at a football game, in which the announcers analyze and comment on the first half and project how the teams will adjust in the second half.
Flake is a showboater——watch him approach a camera.
He needs to be Cantored......another showboater who tasted defeat.
