Hi, this is Josh Marshall, and this is the Josh Marshall podcast. We are, you know,

we've had a few episodes, Kate and I were off last week

But we've had a few episodes where we're in this mode of okay Biden won

But we're still in this kind of like netherworld where Trump isn't admitting it and they're still okay this state made very unlikely but possibly gonna do this really weird thing

and still like a little a little tension in the background about you know is there some way this could get

whatever and but now what is it maybe a

week or so ago without admitting anything and without conceding anything

Trump went ahead and let the transition process go forward,

which as I think a lot of people said at the time, that's about as close as you're going to

get to this guy conceding.

And there has been as much as the conspiracy theories and calls for coups and and Marshall all kind of

craziness has in some ways increased there's also been this subtle shift where even from Trump, he clearly gets that the exposure of the vast conspiracy and all that kind of stuff

is not going to stop him from no longer being president on January 20th.

That's clearly sunk in. He gets that that it doesn't accept that it's legitimate

doesn't accept that it's okay fair all the different thing all the all the

all the different Trump world you you know, adjectives of special pleading and all that kind of stuff.

But it is kind of different.

The election is over.

I mean, I think it is in most states literally over I mean what is it Wisconsin has

certified yesterday Arizona maybe yesterday the day before Pennsylvania has

Georgia did so So I think, is there any state that is not,

I mean certification is not,
