in terms of what to watch for next. I think we need to be watching for something that they call

autocratic breakthrough. Autocratic breakthrough is when the party in power uses the power they do

have in government to make sure they can never be dislodged from government. I'll give you a concrete

example. You've already seen in the House of Representatives now that Mike Johnson is

back in as Republican House Speaker, they change the rules in the House to make it much

harder to remove him as Speaker.

So that's them digging in, planning to stay for the long run.

Now we're here.

You're not going to be able to get us out.

You've seen Trump, quote, joking, end quote, about expecting to stay in office for a third term once the second term

is up. And that's, of course, against the Constitution. But he keeps repeatedly bringing up,

bringing it up, that that's his expectation. Trump advisor, his one-time campaign manager, Steve Bannon, saying things in public about

how they're going to be ruling for 50 years.

There won't be any way to dislodge them from power.

Autocratic breakthrough is when they use the powers they've achieved through winning

elections to cement themselves in power

so they can't be removed by future elections or by other democratic means.

So we are watching the efforts to consolidate power.

We are watching four signs of autocratic breakthrough, trying to entrench themselves in power so they can't be removed.

This is just the way these things go. This is how strong men rule. These are the things that they are

trying. Both the classified documents case and the election interference case being dismissed by

special counsel Jack Smith after years of building that case. What's your reaction to that news?
