Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss President Donald Trump's changing position on: the release of the Epstein files, reciprocal tariffs on key grocery items, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). They also discuss recent developments in Latin America including riots in Mexico City over the weekend, Sunday's presidential election results in Chile, and comments from President Donald Trump that President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela is seeking a dialogue with the United States. Then, they talk about Axios' reporting that New York Times columnist Ezra Klein is raising concerns at the paper that he is providing advice to key players in the Democratic Party, including 2028 presidential hopefuls. Plus, Disney stock is down 9 percent in recent days. They wonder what's behind the price drop, and are streaming services becoming too expensive? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A vitória de um candidato socialista democrático na maior cidade dos EUA chamou a atenção do mundo. Zohran Mamdani indicou uma estratégia populista que não consiste em moderar discursos, mas em mobilizar os invisíveis. Thomás Zicman de Barros, analista político Na última semana, o mundo voltou os olhos para Nova York. A vitória de Zohran Mamdani nas eleições municipais da cidade foi destaque internacional. E o debate não girou apenas em torno das consequências para a política americana, mas também sobre as lições que sua campanha oferece. Há algo de curioso em ver o mundo acompanhar a contagem de votos em bairros de uma cidade estrangeira – por maior que seja. Mamdani virou a coqueluche no Brasil, mas não só. Aqui na França, todos os políticos de esquerda reivindicaram para si a sua mensagem. Há certa sabujice nisso tudo. Afinal, o mundo não dedica esse tipo de atenção a eleições em grandes cidades da América Latina, da Ásia ou mesmo da Europa. Essa exceção se explica, em grande parte, pela figura de Mamdani: um jovem de 34 anos nascido em Uganda, muçulmano e abertamente socialista. E, de fato, talvez haja lições a aprender.  Mobilização em duas frentes  Mamdani chamou atenção pela campanha que conduziu – autenticamente populista. Essa palavra, tão maldita, precisa ser desestigmatizada. Foi justamente nos Estados Unidos que ela surgiu, ainda no século XIX, com o Partido do Povo, uma legenda de esquerda, popular e antirracista que se reivindicava “populista” na luta dos debaixo contra as elites. Mas o populismo não se reduz à oposição entre “povo” e “elites”. Populismo é, antes de tudo, trazer para dentro da política aqueles que estavam fora – os invisíveis. É a capacidade de mobilizar os excluídos. E Mamdani venceu porque soube mobilizar. Essa mobilização ocorreu em duas frentes. Por um lado, o foco em questões que afetam diretamente o bolso dos cidadãos: ele propôs congelar aluguéis para combater o alto custo de vida na cidade, além de expandir o transporte público e o sistema de creches.Por outro, abraçou causas feministas, antirracistas e queer. Em seu discurso de vitória, destacou que deve haver solidariedade entre os trabalhadores precários que não conseguem pagar suas contas e os também precários vítimas de discriminação por gênero ou cor. Tudo isso, é claro, foi amplificado por um uso inteligente das mídias digitais e por uma mobilização impressionante: 90 mil voluntários bateram de porta em porta para registrar eleitores — lembrando que, nos EUA, o voto não é obrigatório. Houve quem dissesse que a vitória de Mamdani foi fácil porque ele concorreu em Nova York, e que esse discurso não funcionaria em outros lugares. Ezra Klein, colunista do The New York Times, argumentou — com seu tom sempre muito razoável, mas enfadonho — que o Partido Democrata deveria usar todas as estratégias disponíveis para vencer: lançar candidatos populistas em regiões progressistas, mas, em estados conservadores, apresentar democratas pró-armas e contra o aborto – quase “trumpistas moderados”. Essa estratégia tem problemas éticos e estratégicos. Eticamente, de que vale vencer uma eleição para barrar a extrema direita se o custo é adotar o discurso da extrema direita, normalizando-o? E, do ponto de vista estratégico, a verdade é que quase nunca se ganha assim. Diante de duas opções conservadoras, o eleitor conservador sempre preferirá o candidato “raiz”. Estratégia populista O que vimos nos últimos anos foi o colapso da ideia do eleitor mediano. Se ainda havia dúvidas, Kamala Harris as dissipou. No ano passado, Harris conduziu uma campanha – curta, é verdade – em que não apenas evitou explorar o fato de ser mulher, negra e asiática, como também não prometeu mudança alguma.Encarnou o establishment político, adotou um discurso conservador para conquistar supostos republicanos “democráticos”, e acreditou que a rejeição a Donald Trump seria suficiente para vencer. De fato, muita gente votou contra Trump, mas, enquanto ele manteve a proporção de votos de 2020, os democratas perderam milhões de eleitores entre um ciclo e outro – pessoas desencantadas da política que simplesmente não viram motivo para ir às urnas. Mamdani mostra que a estratégia populista é, antes de tudo, uma estratégia de mobilização. Sim, Nova York é uma cidade cosmopolita que, nos últimos anos, tende a votar à esquerda. Mas Mamdani produziu a maior mobilização eleitoral da cidade em mais de meio século – e quebrou todos os recordes, com mais de um milhão de votos. Como se diz em inglês, Mamdani foi 'unapologetic': não pediu desculpas, não moderou suas posições, não fez concessões. Recusou-se a ficar na defensiva. Quando uma campanha de difamação o acusou de antissemitismo e de proximidade com grupos muçulmanos extremistas, sua resposta à islamofobia foi gravar um vídeo em árabe. Sobretudo, ele prometeu um mundo – ou, no caso, uma cidade – diferente. Se há algo a aprender com sua vitória, é que o desafio das forças democráticas – não apenas do Partido Democrata americano, mas de todos os que acreditam na democracia ao redor do mundo – é reacender a imaginação.

One big story captures all six books selected by the Financial Times for their short list of best business books of 2025. As the FT's Senior Business Writer, Andrew Hill, notes, it's the story of the shift in global economic power from the United States to China. It's game over. From Dan Wang's Breakneck, which contrasts China's “engineering state” with America's “lawyering nation,” to Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson's Abundance, chronicling America's inability to build infrastructure, the shortlist reads like an autopsy of American decline. Edward Fishman's Choke Points examines the new age of economic warfare, while Eva Dou's House of Huawei reveals how Chinese companies vaulted past Western competitors. Even Stephen Witt's The Thinking Machine, ostensibly about NVIDIA's triumph, ultimately focuses on the US-China technology race. The judges, Hill admits, “very clearly narrowed in on this highly consequential US-China theme.” Whether chronicling rare earth minerals, clean energy dominance, or regulatory sclerosis, these books ask the same uncomfortable question: Is the American century over?* China's “Engineering State” vs. America's “Lawyering Nation” - Dan Wang's framework in Breakneck captures the fundamental difference: China builds (pouring concrete, clearing regulatory obstacles), while America litigates, creating layers of bureaucracy that prevent infrastructure development.* The Abundance Paradox - Klein and Thompson's bestseller reveals America's core dysfunction: a nation that once defined progress now can't build a high-speed rail link between its two most important California cities, spending billions for thirty yards of track.* Economic Warfare Replaces Free Trade - Edward Fishman's Choke Points documents how sanctions, tariffs, and supply chain control have become the primary weapons of statecraft, with “choke points” entering the policy lexicon as the new language of power.* China Already Controls the Future's Raw Materials - From rare earth minerals to clean energy technology, China has made strategic bets on tomorrow's economy while America remained wedded to oil and coal, creating dependencies that may be impossible to reverse.* Even American Success Stories Are Really About China - NVIDIA's $5 trillion valuation, chronicled in Stephen Witt's The Thinking Machine, isn't purely an American triumph—it's fundamentally about Taiwan, China, and the geopolitical competition for semiconductor dominance.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

A new survey finds that moderately religious Americans are the most likely to say that they see dead people. Which raises a question—why are the non-religious and the very religious less likely to report encounters with the departed? New York Times columnist Ezra Klein says that by over-emphasizing inclusivity, the Democratic Party has ironically become less inclusive. And Ryan Burge looks at the numbers behind the party's growing "God problem." Will the Democrats ever figure out how to compete against MAGA? New Testament scholar N.T. Wright is back to discuss his latest book, "The Vision of Ephesians." He tells Skye that the modern church has overemphasized the gospel importance of going to heaven and underemphasized the gospel importance of church unity. Also this week—Phil digs his hole with fans of Wicked even deeper. Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/142839301/   Bonus Interview with N. T.

Jerusalem Demsas is one of Cardiff's favorite econ and housing journalists, a previous New Bazaar guest, and now the founder and editor of The Argument, a new magazine dedicated to making “a positive, combative case for liberalism through sharp, well-argued opinion pieces, original reporting, and multimedia content that confronts the illiberal drift in our politics.” Jerusalem and Cardiff discuss: Her meaning of liberalismHow (if?) persuasion works The politics of immigration and why it matters for the economy Drawing lines vs reaching across themIf Twitter really is “acid on community” How to societally deal with short-form video addiction…… and how Jerusalem broke her own TikTok problemWhy asking if something is cringe is itself the most cringe Finally, Jerusalem makes Cardiff look and feel super old when his reference to Reality Bites flies right by her.

Techno-philosopher Eliezer Yudkowsky recently went on Ezra Klein's podcast to argue that if we continue on our path toward superintelligent AI, these machines will destroy humanity. In this episode, Cal responds to Yudkowsky's argument point by point, concluding with a more general claim that these general styles of discussions suffer from what he calls “the philosopher's fallacy,” and are distracting us from real problems with AI that are actually afflicting us right now. He then answers listener questions about AI, responds to listener comments from an earlier AI episode, and ends by discussing Alpha schools, which claim to use AI to 2x the speed of education. Below are the questions covered in today's episode (with their timestamps).

Jennifer Welch, a 51-year-old Texan turned Oklahoman, is radicalizing America one wine mom at a time. The southern podcaster (who might finally be our “Joe Rogan of the Left”) has become an unlikely, fierce critic of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the corrupt Democratic establishment, and unregulated capitalism, which she says “brought us Trump” (I agree). This week, Jennifer and I cross a generational divide to discuss Israel's erosion of the Democratic Party, Ezra Klein's idiotic centrist plea for more anti-abortion Democrats, and how to sell democratic socialism to the masses.

While many progressives ⁠have⁠ ⁠been⁠ ⁠upset⁠ with Governor Jared Polis lately, a new national political movement is looking to him for leadership. Inspired by “Abundance” by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, this new strain of liberal politics is focused on cutting red tape, building housing density and transit, and reducing barriers to new technology. So is Polis the perfect posterchild for the Abundance Agenda? And is that what Coloradans want out of their governor? A new group called ⁠Abundance Network⁠ recently invited producer Paul Karolyi to moderate a fireside chat with the governor about housing, transit, energy, and his plans for his final legislative session in January.  What do you think about Governor Jared Polis right now?

Writer, reporter, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em co-host, and pie baker extraordinaire Nancy Rommelmann returns to Uncertain Things to talk (again) about a topic she knows all too well: Portland. In 2021, she lambasted the way the media was distorting what was happening on the ground by underplaying the violence. Four years later, she's lamenting the way the President and his cronies are distorting what's happening on the ground by overplaying the violence. We get into ICE's antics, Portland's response (so far), and the “heroes” making headlines.

What if we've become less willing to sacrifice our pawns to take the queen? This week, Jess and Joey talk about Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Obama, game theory, defaulting to passion, and nuclear weapons. They don't talk about David Lightman. references The Ezra Klein Show: Ta-Nehisi Coates on Bridging Gaps vs. Drawing Lines Nash equilibrium Mutual assured destruction A Beautiful Mind Pareto principle 

In this latest episode of the “More From Sam” series, Sam and Jaron talk about current events and answer some of the questions you all submitted on Substack. They discuss the Israel-Hamas peace deal, the plans to build a Qatari air force facility in Idaho, why Trump lies about golf, the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the reactions from the Left and the Right, what Ezra Klein got wrong in his piece about Kirk, Sam's relationship with Christopher Hitchens, Bari Weiss and The Free Press, and rapid fire questions.

Support The Glenn Show at https://glennloury.substack.com This week on The Glenn Show, Robert Patton-Spruill and I get into a detailed analysis of a conversation between Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein. The show begins as a debate on their divergent reactions to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, expressed in a New York Times column by Klein […]

Now that the dust has started to settled around the whole Charlie Kirk thing, we've brought on Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, assistant professor of philosophy at Georgetown, to discuss his Boston Review piece about Ezra Klein's hagiography of Kirk, the discussion Klein had with Ta-Nehisi Coates, and why moderate liberals seem so at sea politically.

How much money is America losing in remittances every year? Immigrants in America are sending the money they make here out. The Trump administration has some thoughts. Ezra Klein went on Flagrant to talk about extreme Republicans. Let's take a look at what he thinks that means. In South Carolina this weekend, Judge Diane Goodstein's home burned to the ground and, because the Left hasn't had a win in awhile, the media jumped on MAGA arsons as the cause. Now that arson has been ruled out, we're waiting on an apology that could come at anytime. Any time. We're waiting.

What happens when one of America's sharpest liberal thinkers is pressed to define the good life? In this episode, Jeremy unpacks a conversation between New York Times columnists Ross Douthat and Ezra Klein - two brilliant minds from opposite ends of the political spectrum. What begins as a discussion about progressivism's future quickly becomes a deep philosophical exploration of faith, meaning, and purpose in modern politics. Jeremy walks us through the unraveling of Klein's vision for “the good life” and what that says about the spiritual emptiness of today's cultural left. Stay tuned until the end, because what Klein finally admits might surprise you.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveLast week, Wisdom of Crowds philosopher-in-residence Samuel Kimbriel wrote an essay about the political use of Christianity within MAGA, contrasting the sincerity of Erika Kirk's piety with the propagandistic use of the Lord's Prayer in a recent military recruitment video. Shadi Hamid reflected on Samuel's piece and more, writing a column about it for the Washington Post. Today, we bring both men together to discuss the central questions of both articles: do Christianity and politics mix?Damir Marusic adds his own take on the debate, trying to dissuade both Samuel and Shadi from thinking that there is a “true” Christianity that can be saved from the corrupting influence of political power. Shadi says that he does not care whether there is a true version of Christianity: what he wants is a healthy, forgiveness-centered version of Christianity to triumph politically, that is what is good for America. Meanwhile, Samuel talks about the inherent tension between living a radical faith while also being politically successful.In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Shadi discusses the Islamic idea of politics as a “site of imperfection”; Samuel explains why he is “especially attracted to acts that happen under conditions of scarcity”; Damir explains why he would not want any of his Christian friends to become powerful politicians; the three discuss the difference between the politics of conviction and the politics of responsibility; and more!Reading and Watching:* Shadi, “Two Versions of Christianity Battle for America's Soul” (Washington Post).* Sam, “What Christianity Isn't” (WoC).* Military recruitment video w/Our Father (X).* Erika Kirk speech at Charlie Kirk memorial (YouTube).* Matthew Rose, A World After Liberalism: Philosophers of the Radical Right (Amazon).* Max Weber, “Politics As A Vocation” (Internet Archive).* Ezra Klein interviews Ta Nehisi Coates (New York Times).Free preview video:Full video for paid subscribers below:

The federal government shut down this week, leaving thousands of federal employees furloughed. Families who depend on WIC and SNAP could also be at risk if the shutdown prolongs. Since President Trump took office, thousands of federal employees have faced layoffs or resigned themselves.  Conversations around a government shutdown brewed in March, but the final straw for Democrats may have been in August. That was when Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the House of Representatives would withhold $4 billion previously allocated for foreign aid. Trump blames Democrats for the shutdown. Which party will get their desired outcome here?Ezra Klein, a New York Times opinion writer, said that a shutdown may be exactly what Democrats need to regain power of the legislative branch. But could it jeopardize the party's political future?Also this week, President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gathered global military leaders in Quantico, Virginia, sharing their visions for the newly-named Department of War. This comes after 200 National Guard troops were sent to Portland, Oregon because Trump said the city looked like “World War II.” How do active and retired military members feel about orders to enforce the law in American cities?

The Republican-run government has shut down, Trump is using misinformation to blame Democrats, and Erin and Alyssa explain what's at stake. Then they dive into Ezra Klein's recent bad takeapalooza, on everything from Charlie Kirk's legacy to pro-life Democrats. And, of course, there's the latest Epstein files news, some races to watch in Virginia, and a big week for creeps, overall.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On toady's show: Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries held a post-meeting press conference with Trump, where they declined to warn the public about the dangers of the spending bill and instead focused on procedure and decorum. Hours later, Trump posted a racist AI-generated video depicting Jeffries in a sombrero. The next day, Jeffries responded with a hollow display of self-serving bravado. Argentine historian and chair of the History Department at the New School, Frederico Finchelstein joins the program to discuss the Trump's administrations bail out of Milei's Argentina. In The Fun Half: Illinois governor JB Pritzker urges people to film, document and narrate ICE activities as the only way to hold these abusers to account is to have it on film. Pete Hegseth holds military top brass hostage as he performs his one-man show on the Warriors Ethos. Trump closes out the Hegseth rally with a sleepy, confused ramble about stairs and fascism.

The author and podcaster Ezra Klein may be only forty-one years old, but he's been part of the political-culture conversation for a long time. He was a blogger, then a Washington Post columnist and editor, a co-founder of Vox, and is now a writer and podcast host for the New York Times. He's also the co-author of the recent best-selling book “Abundance”. Most recently, Klein has drawn the ire of progressives for a column he wrote about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, in which he praised the late conservative activist for practicing politics “the right way.” He's also been making a case for how the Democrats can reëmerge from the political wilderness. But some of his other ideas have also invited their share of detractors. Klein tells David Remnick, “I try to take seriously questions that I don't love. I don't try to insist the world works the way I want it to work. I try to be honest with myself about the way it's working.” In response to criticism that his recent work has indicated a rightward shift in his thinking, Klein says, “One thing I've been saying about the big tent of the Democratic Party is the theory of having a big tent doesn't just mean moving to the right; it also means accepting in the left.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Kriss is joined by Karen from the Black Guy Who Tips. A good portion of the show we end up talking about the beginning of the discussion between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ezra's podcast. It's a good (if not sometimes frustrating) discussion between the two in which it becomes clear that Klein, is so focused on not losing that it's a set up to not win. Coates challenges (with no real good explanations from Klein) on how to rationalize wanting the left to "learn from" the right in such a short term viewpoint. He brings up the fact that the claim of the "increase in political violence" downplays the political violence experienced by so many marginalized groups for decades. And while Coates doesn't directly say it, we talk about how insulting it is to claim that the Right constantly engages with those that disagree with them while ignoring all the work and engagement that black and brown writers/activists and others do on the left.  The whole conversation is both enlightening as well as frustrating because it illustrates just how cowardly so many on the left are and how easily they are willing to throw the less fortunate out if it means scoring political points.   Full Ezra Klein/Ta -Nehisi Coates Guest: Karen ‪@theblackguywhotips.bsky.social   Like what you hear?

Charlie Kirk became the latest victim of gun violence in America on September 10. And he wasn't the only person shot on a school campus that day, nor was he the only political figure killed this year.  Unlike Melissa Hortman and her husband, the motivation for Kirk's murder remains unclear. That hasn't stopped right-wing pundits and politicians from framing it as typical extremist left-wing violence.  In between calls for civil war and censorship, the ramping up of police-state authoritarianism, and painting of the slain Christian Nationalist activist as a noble martyr, anti-racist icon Ta-Nehisi Coates called out the strange reflex from some left-of-center figures (like Ezra Klein) to participate in whitewashing Kirk's hateful politics. Today we discuss what happened and what it might mean.

The day after Charlie Kirk was murdered, Ezra Klein published an essay in the New York Times: “Charlie Kirk Practiced Politics The Right Way.” Klein's piece was one of countless teary-eyed eulogies from across the spectrum of political media, and this first draft of Charlie Kirk's legacy is now being used by the U.S. government to crack down on free speech in unprecedented ways. But let's be clear: the way Charlie Kirk died does not change the way he lived. He did not “practice politics the right way,” and his “debates” were nothing more than manufactured social media bait to radicalize young people into becoming foot soldiers for an authoritarian regime. The people most affected by Charlie Kirk's politics do not work at the New York Times, but they deserve a say in his legacy, too. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon! Thanks to today's sponsors!

SEASON 4 EPISODE 13: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN Fraud News Channel morning anchor Brian Kilmeade "apologizes" FOUR DAYS LATER for saying America’s 771,000 homeless (that'd include 33,000 Homeless Veterans and 140,000 Homeless Kids should be killed. By “involuntary lethal injection. Or something. Just kill them.” His co-host Lawrence Jones agreed with him. Fox did nothing about it. They planned to get away with it, and would have, but for Media Matters saving the original clip from last Wednesday and Aaron Rupar re-posting it Saturday morning. I had seen the clip and thought it was fake. It's that bad. And finally Sunday Kilmeade issued a wallet-felt apology. We are in such a place in this country – thanks to Trump, thanks to MAGA, thanks to the late Charlie Kirk, thanks to the Tea Party, thanks to Bush, thanks to… the list continues backwards almost indefinitely and infinitely – that this horrific vision, which in its essence is mass murder of the homeless (the most widely accepted high-end estimate of homelessness in this country is 771-thousand) – and no Kilmeade didn’t say let’s submit 771-thousand people to quote “involuntary lethal injection” – he didn’t have to. Is 771 people somehow less horrific? 77? What’s your threshold to be enraged at the prospect of simply pulling SOME homeless people off the street and lethally injecting them? Seven? One? We know what you are Kilmeade. We are just arguing about the price...to be spent on lethal injections. Fire him now. SHOCK: TRUMP HELPS PUTIN AGAIN as he escalates his attempt to rebuild the Soviet Union. Now it's test drones at the Poland border (again) and the Romanian border (new). Waiting to see if Trump blinked. He blinked so much he could've been sending Morse Code. St. CHARLIE OF KIRK: So, as Andrew Lawrence of Media Matters summarized it: Kirk "was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest” The Trojan Horse phony bi-partisan governor of Utah is now down to insisting the family says the shooter had been indoctrinated with left wing ideology. What kind of left wing ideology? That he said he was "not a fan" of Kirk. Funny, the most venomous, most threatening criticism of Kirk in the last 60 days was Nick Fuentes saying Kirk could no longer call himself a Christian and his college events should be interrupted and he should be shouted down, and Laura Loomer insist Kirk "stabs Trump in the back." Hmmm. If harsh words killed Charlie Kirk, is that leftist ideology Fuentes and Loomer were spouting, or right wing guilt? B-Block (37:04) MORE ON CHARLIE KIRK: There are bigger issues in play. It is clear now that there were two different public Charlie Kirks. On the left we saw a slick but rather run-of-the-mill hate monger who mocked Democratic victims of political violence and wanted to see public executions. On the right, they literally never saw those videos. They only saw a "beautiful man, armed only with a bible" preaching family values. How? Different social media feeds. The other big issue with the right's collective mania and desire to punish the left for Kirk's death when it still looks like the far right did as much or more? All of those right wing influencers just assumed God was on their side and was protecting them like he "protected" Trump last year. Oops. C-Block (1:00:20) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: This is the longest all-new episode ever but always time for worsts. Ezra Klein last week? "Charlie Kirk Practiced Politics The Right Way." So, Ezra Klein next week? "Brian Kilmeade Practiced Television The Right Way?" Ken Paxton is screwing around again? Does he have a wandering eye oh right. And when MSNBC fired Matt Dowd for, you know, telling the truth about the death of Kirk, where were Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Lawrence O'Donnell, risking a dollar or two to defend accurate commentary? I mean they whiffed so badly that they made the anchor who was on with Dowd look perfect by contrast: Katy Tur.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
