so-called invoke around this the face act was originally designed to protect abortion clinics from right-wing violence in the 1990s because right-wing groups were bombing and assassinating uh abortion clinics and reproductive health care providers
And so there had to be there was this violence was so, you know, so had gotten to be so big that Congress Act and we passed federal legislation to protect abortion clinics and tucked in there.

I want to talk about why the Epstein piece here matters is because when wealth gets concentrated so tightly and when corporate power gets concentrated so tightly, we are no longer even talking about the top 10 percent, not even talking about the top one percent in America.
we're talking about the top 0.0001%.
And what that means is that not only does all that power get concentrated into a handful of people, it means that not only all that money, but all that power.
