1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the political parties. Are America's political parties 2 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: like America's news media admired by the American people. Do 3 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: the American people trust them? Do they respect them? Do 4 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: the American people think these institutions are on their side, 5 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: that they are working for the public good, that they're 6 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: looking out for the proverbial little guy? They do not. 7 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: They believe these institutions are corrupt, broken, and utterly irresponsive 8 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: to the national interest. Do American people look at these 9 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: institutions and they don't see anything that's on the level. 10 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: The Republicans in Washington may be self satisfied, and so 11 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: maybe the Democrats, But the American people are generally speaking 12 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: sick of the political parties. And the fastest growing political 13 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: party in the United States is the decline to state category, 14 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: the independent voter that wants nothing to do with either 15 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: one of them. The sign of the depth of the 16 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: sickness in American politics is simple to find. It's Donald Trump. 17 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: The fact that he could become the nominee of one 18 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: of the major parties shows that that party is corrupted 19 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: and utterly broken. In fact, it demonstrates a level of depravity. 20 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: The fact that the Democratic Party could conceivably lose to 21 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: the Queen's hustler shows how broken the Democratic Party is. 22 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's candidacy at eighty two years old, is premised 23 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: on this simple assertion. It is that he alone can 24 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: beat Donald Trump and thus save American democracy. There are 25 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: a couple of flaws with that argument, starting with this, 26 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: Why has President Biden and the Democratic Party been unable 27 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: to break the demagogic and autocratic fever of the Maga movement? 28 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Why haven't National Democrats been able to find a message 29 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: that puts out this fire after being in charge for 30 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: four years? It is the singular failure of the Biden administration, 31 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump remains a threat, a threat 32 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: to the peace, domestic tranquil and continuation of the American 33 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: Republic seven years on. People like Donald Trump emerge in 34 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: sick political systems, and the American system is sick. It 35 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: is overrun by special interest money. It is overrun by 36 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: foreign agents in Washington, DC doing the bidding of hostile 37 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: foreign powers for millions of dollars a year. The pharmaceutical companies, 38 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: the energy companies, the tech companies, all of them get 39 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: privileged and preferential treatment in a system where you pay 40 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: to play. That's the system that's broken. That's the system 41 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: the American people are tuned out of, turned against, and 42 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: deeply deeply turned off by the United States. Voting has 43 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: become an exercise not where people look for hope and aspiration, 44 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: but on the one hand, they look to funish the 45 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: people they disagree with, or they vote defensively, looking to 46 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: make their decision on the basis of what side they 47 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: perceive will hurt them less. This is no way to 48 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: run a country. And it is clear that the system 49 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: is breaking now. The twenty twenty four election will be 50 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: here before you know it. And what has been hammered 51 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: into the American people is that they're going to get 52 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: something they don't want. They're going to get a rematch 53 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: between eighty two year old President Joe Biden and accuse 54 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: criminal Donald Trump. The American people are screaming, please, we 55 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: want a a square peg for this square hole, but 56 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: the Washington powers that be seem intent on sending them 57 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: around one. And in this country, the United States, typically 58 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: this doesn't work out very well because the national character 59 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: is defiant and doesn't like being told what to do, 60 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: doesn't like having things imposed on it from Washington, DC 61 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: or New York City across a vast federal republic that 62 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: spans a continent. Typically, when this happens, the American people 63 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: find a way of letting their voices be heard. Now, 64 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: over and over again, the national media drums this end 65 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: the choice will be between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. 66 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: But there's a wrinkle in the plan. There's a group. 67 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: It's called No Labels. No Labels is chaired by former 68 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: Democratic and Independent United States Senator Joe Lieberman. It's a 69 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: bipartisan group. In my view, it's not a group that's 70 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: had much impact on American politics, but it's about to 71 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,239 Speaker 1: because it is about to get ballot access and placed 72 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: onto the ballot in all fifty states an alternative to 73 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: the Democratic and Republican nominees. We don't know who the 74 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: No Labels candidate will be, but we do know this. 75 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: The Democratic Party and its leadership doesn't like it very much. 76 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: Jamie Harrison, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has 77 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: said over and over again, now is not the time 78 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: for a third party effort. Here's the thing, though, the 79 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee chairman doesn't get a vote about what 80 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: No Labels is going to do, and it's getting pretty 81 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: clear what it is that they intend to do. No 82 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Labels is close to raising the seventy million dollars that 83 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: gives them a start on getting the ballot access done 84 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: for all fifty states. That amount of money that will 85 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: take to do that is much higher, probably closer to 86 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars. But if No Labels does it, 87 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: there will be a three way race, not a two 88 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: way race for president, and that changes everything. It's like 89 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: getting ready to watch the Super Bowl, but instead of 90 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: the teams you think are going to be on the field, 91 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: it's a soccer game, a completely different sport. What you 92 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: are being being told is going to happen is in 93 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: fact not happening when you look at the events that 94 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: are starting to play out. Joe Manchin is the Democratic 95 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: senator from the state of West Virginia. He is up 96 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: for reelection there and if he runs, he'll be facing 97 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: a Republican governor. And the overwhelming likelihood is Joe Manchin's 98 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: political career will end, though it's certainly not a certainty. 99 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: Joe Manchin, though, isn't campaigning in West Virginia. He's campaigning 100 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: in Manchester, New Hampshire. And there he's with the former 101 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: Utah governor, a diplomat, John Huntsman, a Republican. And what 102 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: they're talking about is a presidential candidacy with Joe Manchin 103 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: at the top, a John Huntsman below. Hey, what that 104 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: would mean is a three way choice. Let's try and 105 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: imagine it. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and 106 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green, Senator Joe Manchin and John Huntsman. 107 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: We're here to make sure that American people have an option, 108 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: and the option is can you move the political parties 109 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 2: off their respective size? They've gone too far right and 110 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: too far left. If that movement can move, but they 111 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 2: can't be done. That can't be done less than threatened. 112 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: Oh even threatenings. 113 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 2: Have people out there that says, listen, they can't either 114 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: side can't work without the independent, without that independent that 115 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: center and left, center right and end of that Republican 116 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 2: and independent Democrat. If they have another option, then they're 117 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: in trouble. Those quart are in trouble. So they're going 118 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: to have to say, oh, here to look at this. 119 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: We again. I don't think unless we stay over here 120 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: that they're going to vote for us. So maybe we 121 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: can move. 122 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. 123 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: It's too early anyone thinks we need to do something. 124 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 2: We're arresting on those because if you do get in 125 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: the race and spoil the elections, is would you when 126 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 2: that factor in the truth? I know been in race 127 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: I ever school, I've been racist to win, and if 128 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: I getting a race of. 129 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Them to win now at this moment, Joe Manchin is 130 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: being a little disingenuous. He knows that the political parties 131 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: between today and next April will not heal themselves. He 132 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: knows how utterly broken they are, better than anyone because 133 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: he spends an awful lot of time with the people 134 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: fundamentally that broke it. United States senators are at the 135 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: top of the list. He full well knows that the 136 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: political parties are not controlled monolithically. He knows that there's 137 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: no pilot in the cockpit. When he talks about the 138 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: political parties as having some sort of conscience or some 139 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 1: sort of sentience, some sort of ability to correct their ways, 140 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: to turn, to alter their behavior, to enter some type 141 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: of therapeutic era where they can be better, he knows 142 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: that's all nonsense. He knows the American political system will 143 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: grow more and more and more dysfunctional. Joe Manchin and 144 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: John Huntsman also know this about timing. They know that 145 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: a third party ticket doesn't have to go through the 146 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: bruising primary process. They'll just be there as an alternative 147 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: think about how insane the Republican Party primary process will be. 148 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: As that race goes on over February and March and April, 149 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: Joe Manchon and John Huntsman would start looking better and 150 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: better and better, not necessarily through an ideological prison, but 151 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: that also but through a common sense one. People would 152 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: look and see normalcy, if not hope. On the Democratic side, 153 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: there's a cast of characters that currently are polling north 154 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,479 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five percent that show President Biden's vulnerability 155 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party and a great unease amongst Democratic voters. 156 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion to send a signal. It's clear to me 157 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't want Joe Biden to run for reelection. And 158 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: what he's saying over and over again is if the 159 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: race is a Trump Biden race, there will be room 160 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: for a third party candidate to be in it, to 161 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: win it, and to call all the American people to 162 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: reject the choice. Now in Washington d C. And you 163 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: saw an example in the event. Washington reporters can't help 164 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: but ask, but you'll be a spoiler. Now, the answer 165 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: that Mansion gave enrages the Washington media and Washington DC 166 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: based political activists, But it's essentially this spoil What are 167 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: you kidding me? If I do this, I'll be in 168 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: it to win it. The larger point, though, is the 169 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,599 Speaker 1: race that is happening is different than the one that 170 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: is being covered. Over recent years, most Americans have learned 171 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: the seventeen to eighteen states that are called the battleground 172 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: states like Ohio and Florida, the states that determine the 173 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: outcome of the presidential race. Eighteen states. All of the 174 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: other states right now we know which way they're going 175 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: to go. We know that New Jersey will wind up 176 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: in the Democratic column, and we know that Oklahoma will 177 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: wind up in the Republican column. In a three way race. 178 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: That all changes. The eighteen competitive states expand to north 179 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: of forty and in most of those states there's no 180 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: national political infrastructure. It will be the wild, wild West. 181 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: The truth of the matter is is that the entire 182 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: nature of the election changes. The strategy goes from assembling 183 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: a majority to assembling a plurality. In nineteen ninety two, 184 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: Ross Perraut was running for president, and before he went 185 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: completely cuckoo and started blaming George Herbert Walker Bush for 186 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: sabotaging his daughter's wedding. He wasn't in third place. Bill 187 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: Clinton was. He was in first place. When an independent 188 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: someday wins the presidency in the United States, all of 189 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: the pundits will look at it and say it was obvious, 190 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: it was clear, we should have seen it comic, just 191 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: like they did with Trump. Donald Trump broke American politics. 192 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: There is zero chance that a man so awful and 193 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: so rancid and incompetent can be at the center of 194 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: American politics for seven years and nothing happened. Everything just 195 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: stays the same. We have childlike sensibilities in this country 196 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: these days. Things break, they can shatter, and when they do, 197 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: sometimes they can't be repaired. That's what life is like 198 00:15:53,200 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: for grown ups, for people, for families, for nations. Joe 199 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: Manchin is playing at Koy and his message is very, 200 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: very fuzzy. There's a lot of problem in it, a 201 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: lot of therapy talk. It's almost whiny. Well, they're terrible, 202 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: and if they don't get better, I'm going to do this. 203 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't know that Joe Manchin has it in him 204 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: to do it, but I also know. But I also 205 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: don't know that he doesn't. I do know this. No 206 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: one in the Republican Party and no one in the 207 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. He's going to get a vote on what 208 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: he does. That seems perfectly clear to me. I think 209 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: we're at the edge of a three way race, and 210 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: the Biden campaign has been perfectly clear about something. They 211 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: have said over and over and over again that President 212 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: Biden cannot win a three way race. Well, if that's true, 213 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: shouldn't the Democratic Party consider nominating somebody who can? Because 214 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: the three way race isn't a choice that the Democrats 215 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: get to make. It's the choice that No Labels gets 216 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: to make. The Democratic Party has to live in the 217 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: world of that choice. It has to react to it, 218 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: It has to persevere over it. Does Gavin Newsom, does 219 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer collapse the case for a Trump candidacy? Does 220 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: it collapse the necessity in Joe Mansion's mind for a 221 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: No Labels bid? There will be more twists and turns 222 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 1: ahead that I can possibly predict, but I'll tell you 223 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: this right now, this twenty twenty four race America will 224 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: be one unlike any other.
