carly zakin and danielle weisberg, thank you both for joining us. first, i want to ask a little bit about skimm-u, this financial literacy course. carly, why start this? what's it about? >> skimm-u is really about educating our audience. obviously, the pandemicas changed everything for all o us, but it's really changed everything for her. and when i say "her," we're really talking about the millennial woman. and this is a moment where we've all en that she's just been decimated by the pandemic and we'velready, pre-pandemic, she was already fighting a wage gap. she was already fighting to, sort of, have equal footing. and she was also the one that was hurt the most in the pandemic. and when we really thought about what is it that we want to lean into for our audience, it was thinking about what are the skills we wish we had from college, and our educational background that would allow us to get a leg up in our financial knowledge and how can we give that to our audience when she needs it most. >> sreenivasan: so, danielle, you're not approaching this

i'm joined by a very special panel, jacob weisberg, spoke to stormy daniels during the critical time that we're talking about. christina greer, a friend of the show, and shelby holiday, reporter for "the wall street journal," jim moray, not a friend of the show, just a great guy, of course wanted for "inside edition." and you're here as you had your first on camera interview with stormy damages earli daniels ea year. i will begin with you, jacob. based on everything you've reported in this story, what stands out to you in this filing? >> first i have noted that stormy daniels has been entirely consistent in her story. so what she told me, when i didn't know she was talking to anybody else in the summer and fall of 2016, matched perfectly what it turned out she had told "in touch" magazine five years earlier and it matches what she's saying now, so just from the basic point of credibility, i believe her story. >> you believe her? >> i do believe it happened the way she siz ays it happened. i don't believe anything donald trump is saying, what i'm not sure about, civil suits against a
