They own the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is nothing but a device for keeping a far-right dictatorship in power forever.

So they have good reason to think that they have power on lockdown.

But the successor's struggle after a dictatorship falls is always a period of anarchy and

And it's never clear what's going to happen afterwards.

And this group, they have varying levels of competence.

So you have some super confident people like Russell Vogt, Brendan Carr.

You see like the FCC is operating within legalistic parameters to shut down the media, to replace the media, to take it over.

So Brendan Carr, very effective.

Russell Vogt, very effective.

But a lot of these guys are not effective.

and not competent.

And so we're really going to, for instance, you're still on the air.

So it's really unclear what's gonna happen with this kind of successor struggle.

They've got the Supreme Court in their pocket,

They've got a lot of, they've got ICE, which is right now, I think, comparable to the storm uptiling in the 1930s in Germany.

It's, you know, they're sucking up, you know, Trump supporting UFC fans and NASCAR fans.

So they've got a lot of power, but they also have power nowhere near lockdown.

So I don't know what will happen with the successor dispute.

Competence, with the varying levels of competence point, I don't think anyone knows.
