And you're going to have a calcified class structure that has never existed in this country.

And that's what we have to avoid.

But I think we can.

But we won't if we follow the way of the new Jacobins, these leaders in this mob that is calling for us to trash the very thing that we will need to survive this century.

Well, I don't like the term insurrection.

People use that at January 6th.

I said it wasn't an insurrection that day afterwards.

An insurrection is truly trying to overthrow the government itself.

I think these are riots.

They are people who are inebriated by rage.

It's also caused by these politicians who are so similar to what I describe in the book in France.

They are so much like these figures that enabled the mob in France and then ultimately were themselves guillotined and devoured essentially by the revolution.

We're certainly seeing that.

I don't think we're at an insurrection here.

What should worry us is what these people are saying.

that is what it is that they want you know they want instant power they want democratic change without those madisonian precautions they want to just get rid of the supreme court or stack it get rid of the constitution one of my colleagues has argued that we have to rewrite the first amendment because it's quote aggressively individualistic these are not free

Yeah.

But these are not fringe voices anymore.

I mean, these are figures and they're telling the public, you know what your problem is?

It's this constitution.
