good governance all you want to, and they'll be like, yes, yes, we believe in that.

That's not what really, you know, kind of sets them on fire, though.

Something like this is like the sexual predator version of taking a wrecking ball to the East Wing, which we've all enjoyed.

We've all enjoyed the public response to that.

But...

Well, the press conference the House did with victims of Epstein, I think, caught a lot of people's attention for exactly that reason.

You had actual faces to put to some of this.

But shifting to another set of images, since we're talking about the potential coming crack up of the Trump coalition, which I know, David, is one of your favorite topics.

You've also been following the Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes saga, which shifts us from, you know, sexual predators to groipers.

What is the story for those who are out of the loop?

And how does it fit in with, you know, the broader topic?

The pro-Nazis versus anti-Nazis?

He's taking that hard anti-Nazi stance?

This all feels to me a little bit like what we've watched with the Trump movement from the very beginning, whereas these people make these accommodations in part because they think they can manipulate or control or make use of the extreme versions of

Or the extreme elements in their party, but not get swallowed up by them.

But then you turn around and next thing you know, you're in Congress and trying to decide if you're going to vote in a way that makes you look like you're covering up child sexual predation.

It's like once you go down this road and start kind of accepting stuff that you could never have imagined embracing before on the assumption that you can control it, like you're just asking for a whole lot of trouble.

Sorry.

I'm comfortable taking a hard anti-Nazi, pro-David French stance.

I'm just going to come right out there and say it.
