Lerner with conversations with the department of justice, conversations on how they would pursue conversations with those conservative groups applying for tax exempt status. The documents contain a conversation between lerner, the chief of staff, the former irs director steven miller, discussing how they would work with the department of justice to accomplish their goal. Miller, you may remember, visited the white house 118 times from 2010 to 2011. On may 8th of last year lerner wrote, quote, i got a call today from richard hilliar, the director of Elections Crimes Branch at doj. He wanted to know who at irs the d. O. J. Folks could talk to about senator whitehouses idea that d. O. J. Could piece together false statement cases about applicants who, quote, lied, end quote, on their 1024s. Doj is feeling like it needs to respond but wants to talk to the right folks at irs to see whether there are impediments from our side. I told him it sounded like we might need several folks from irs. But a message sent minutes later shows lerner admitting no such evidence existed. Lerner wrote whether there was a false statement or fraud regarding a description of an alleged political expenditure that doesnt say vote for or against is not realistic under current law. Everyone is looking for a magic bullet or scapegoat. There isnt one. She admitted to an aide that zero liberal groups had been targeted despite claims to the contrary, only conservative groups. As weve reported here extensively, lerner has been referred to the same department of justice for criminalprosecut and means committee. She faces a contempt of Congress Vote before the full house of representatives. The Obama White House is now not only under no obligation, it seems, to be open, transparent on any number of political challenges to the nation. For example, the effort to obfuscate the number of americans under obamacare by changing questions in the Census Bureaus annual survey to examine what is happening now with the Obama Administration, joining us one of the countrys foremost political strategists, a oneman compendium of political history, former Reagan White House political director, leading republican strategist, ed rollins. Thank you. Nice to be with you, lou. This is an extraordinary step to change, to altar the censnsu so that we dont have revelations or disclosure about important information. There are three elements of the federal government, two that you fear most voters or most americans fear, one is the irs and one is the Justice Department. You hope the Justice Department is enforcing the law and the irs is enforcing the tax laws. The Census Bureau is going out and getting the most confidential documents and information on people. You expect them all to function in a nonpartisan way in which they are basically above any partisanship. These three entities have been extremely partisanship, have done everything they can to handicap conservatives, handicap peoples rights to vote and participate and obviously theyre now basically caught and they dont want to disclose what it is. Ms. Lerner was an important official in the department of the irs. Shes been summoned before a committee. She should basically testify to the truth. Shes avoided that like a criminal would in a mafia trial. We have just received, by the way, a fox news do we have that available yet . Lets take a look at that, and this has just come in to fox on the issue of this administrations credibility. The president s capacity for lying because that is the word used in this poll and the question is how often does president obama lie on important matters . Most of the time, 37 . Some of the time, 24 . Only now and then, 20 of the time. Only 15 say never. This goes to the heart of the mans integrity, to the heart of the mans credibility. When you get into those kinds of numbers, if you do business with someone that you think half the time is lying to you or you basically deal with the school child in a classroom that lies to you half the time, you very quickly lose credibility. The problem with this administration, its hard to believe anything, whether its the health care statistics, the you be employment statistics, irs enforcement rules, Justice Department. I think once you lose that credibility you get diminished as a leader. We are watching this government. It is as if its imploding from within. Weve been talking about lack of leadership. We can talk about lack of integrity and any kind of compass, moral or otherwise, but we are watching a subversion of government itself, it seems. The Electoral College, for example, the National Popular vote movement, which is pushed by the george surrow center for voting and democracy, if you can imagine that. Its an effort to destroy the Electoral College. The premise of the Electoral College was that small states, it wouldnt just be a popular vote and small states would have some say. Were down to a point where its not 50 states that are involved, its eight or nine states spending billions of dollars on a leader of a state. The system doesnt work but the idea that each state legislature would give up their right to have a policy that supported their states vote and give it to some other state is ab sush suffer absurd. Iran reagans campaign. I ran 49 states. We won 49 states. Should the voters of minnesota not had a sfloet absolutely not. The Electoral College may not work and certainly in the foreseeable future it will be quite dierent than it is today. My issue has always been were no longer running 50 state campaigns, were running 8 state campaigns. Thats not good for democracy. The Republican Party, were going to continue to mightily overthrow the Electoral College and the electoral vote, it is, if you will, utterly, as ed has intimat intimated, unamerican. What is happening with the Republican Party . We learn senator Jeff Sessions the other day talking about the fact there is a secret effort within the house of representatives led by congressman paul ryan. Congressman cantore, eric cantor, to come up with a compromise on illegal immigration despite the wishes of most members of the house and the Republican Party, and it is, if you will, a covert effort. Im for full transparency. I think when you elect representatives, you ought to have a debate about it. The democrats have a plan, we should have a plan. At the end of the day to do things behind scenes or basically to do things by votes in which they dont actually vote, they basically say ayes, nos, the ayes are declared victory when theres not a majority is an absurd way to function and will diminish the Republican Party. Over time leads us to november with the midterms coming up. This is a very explosive issue. In addition, joe rickets, billionaire, conservative. Sheldon adelson putting money against walter jones, one of the most conservative congressmen and longest serving congressmen. What is going on here with this party . Well, the truth of the matter, the way the law reads today is each individual gets to give 2600. 2600 in a primary or general, you get good government. When you put a million dollars. 10 million, 20 million you get something more significant. At the end of the day theyre not saying, heres 10 million, go do what you want to do. They all have a special interest and its a detriment. Theyre saying heres 10 million, do what the hell i tell you. 700,000 folks per district can tell even a billionaire to go to hell. Perhaps they should. Still. Ed rollins, thank you for being here. Nevada rancher clyven bundy blasting the government for leaving behind a mess. The confrontation ended when the bureau of Land Management backed down, but fox news cameras captured these scenes of the extensive damage left behind, including these cattle, damaged water pipes, two prize bulls were killed, one of which was shot five times, another while allegedly in a holding pen. The blm also appears to have run over a tort to us a tortoise den. Even though they said why they were so interested was to save the endangered tortoise which it is not, and the fact is those tortoises have been euthanized by the u. S. Fish and wildlife service. Nowhere in the court order that i saw did it say that they can destroy infrastructure, destroy corrals, tanks, desert environment, shoot cattle. This isnt helping the desert tortoise. In fact, when we were over there you see where they backed over and crushed down a tortoise burrow. How is that conservation . The bureau of Land Management, which is run by senator harry reeds former senior policy advisor, the agency showing no remorse saying they acted on federal land and they dont need permission to destroy illegal fences and waterlines and if you dont think we dont have a problem with attitude in the leadership of the blm and the interior department and perhaps the federal government itself, then youre mistaken. Weve got a heck of af problem. Democrats following one of their oldest tactics ahead of the election. Instead of promoting obamacare, they scream racism.

Introducing the xfinity my account app. Well, another democrat i believe by our count, the third in a week, suggesting racism is a big problem for the republicans. The latest comment from congressman steve israel. Hes chairman of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee. What do you think your republican colleagues are racist . Not all of them, no. Of course not. But to a significant extent the Republican Base does have elements that are animated by racism. Joining us now, congresswoman marsha blackburn, vice chair woman of the House Energy Committee and a member of the house budget commit teempt great to have you with us. Great to be with you, lou. I have to ask you i dont have to, but i want to. That was such a precious little statement by congressman israel, wasnt it . It really was. I have to tell you, i think the American People are so tired of hearing this type rhetoric. Theyre looking an issue, he was talking immigration policy, we cannot seem to get it addressed in a way that the American People want to see it addressed, with secure borders, with the illegal entrants being handled, with those that have overstayed their visas exiting the country. That requires i. C. E. To go through reforms. People would like to see an orderly process and to say, were going to not do anything and make it a political issue, i just think its really very sad. You know, ive said on this broadcast that i fully support and endorse congressman bob goodloe, the house judiciary chairmans incremental approach to Immigration Reform putting forward four bills through his committee keeping as a condition prece precedent that we secure the borders. This is not a complicated issues and if people were frankly willing to accept less than a full load here, this could have been resolved ten years ago. Youre exactly right. It could have and it would have because congressman goodlad at that point serving on the committee with chairman sensenbrenner, Jim Sensenbrenner who chaired it at that time laid out the incremental process. And what people want to do is to take one step at a time and then see where it gets us. And in the last few years i think what has happened is one of my constituents summed it up for me, lou, they said, why in the world would we trust this president and this administration when they have such a tough time abiding by the rule of law, implementing the laws that are passed . Why would we want to say, okay, do something comprehensive. We just want him to take one single issue at a time, deal with the issue, congress, get it signed into law by the president and then have the administration and the president abide by the rule of law. They have lost trust in this administration. I think my constituents pretty much spot on on that. One thing at a time, orderly process. Lets take a step and see where we go with the next one. I think theres also, if i may, to keep this fair and balanced, congresswoman sure. Some considerable distrust of the republican leadership, including Speaker Boehner who made a lot of noises about wanting to move forward with, quote, unquote, a compromise. Even congressman paul ryan who had never been particularly right. Vocal on the issue of illegal immigration decides that he wants to talk about what is effectively a g8 style of amnesty. Jeb bush steps up and starts talking about illegal immigration, i guess that would be acts of love. I mean, your reaction to that kind of language and that frankly, that kind of undercutting of real leadership on the part of the Republican Party specifically in the house and the part of the judiciary committee. Right. There can be distrust and dissatisfaction a plenty to go around. I dont blame people for being upset with congress right now. I think there are a couple of things that do get lost in this process, and one of those is fairness. And what is fair . What is fair to the legacy of service and sacrifice that so many have made for our country . What is fair to future generations who are depending on us being a sovereign nation and who are going to have to pay the bill for the missteps of today . And i think that it behooves us to make certain that we secure our borders first and that we deal with the enforcement issues second and that we require the federal government wouldnt it be nice to mandate the federal government do something and mandating that i. C. E. Get its house in order and reset these quotas that they follow and exit people once they have finished their time on their visa. And actually enforce the rule of law. I have to tell you, i talk to people all over the country, and to them that makes sense. Common sense is in short supply in washington, and maybe this is a good issue to bring it back on. I think some might hold sense of any kind in short supply, congresswoman. Youre probably right. Great to have you with us. So good to be with you. Thank you. Thank you.

Its not caused by a heart valve problem. Dad, it says your afib puts you at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. Thats why i take my warfarin every day. But it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. In a clinical trial, pradaxa® Dabigatran Etexilate mesylate . Was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. And unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. Hey thanks for calling my doctor. Sure. Pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. Dont stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. Stopping increases your risk of stroke. Ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. Pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. Dont take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. Seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if youre 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners. Or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctors about all medicines you take. Pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. If you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. Disturbing new video surfaced on an islamist militant websites appearing to show the largest, most dangerous gathering of al qaeda in years. This footage shot in yemen shows al qaedas number two in command and roughly 100 fighters out in the open greeting one another and some faces have been blurred out. That raises some concern al qaeda is trying to protect the identities of western recruits. Back in january president obamas quick to dismiss an al qaeda resurgence telling many, quote, the analogy we use around here sometimes and i think is accurate is if a j. V. Team puts on a lakers uniform that doesnt make them kobe bryant. The al qaeda video showed up on the day that they announced the al qaeda disbanded looking into local muslim activities before the terrorist activities. The government of ukraine has failed to establish control over the eastern part of the country. Pro russian gunmen captured on video in the eastern city of donestk. They have taken over Administration Buildings in ten cities. The pro russian separatists also today come man deered six ukrainian vehicles with their crews and th hoisted russian flags as ukrainian soldiers offered no armed resistance. Ukrainian soldiers admitting freely theyve defected to the russian side. And as some 40,000 Russian Troops remain on the border, nato today promised to increase flights over the balance particular nations. Joining us now, retired four star army general, general jack keene. Also fox news military analyst. General, thanks for being here. Lets start with the ukraine. This seems to be an unending trail of rhetoric that is simply swept aside by putin and as the Obama White House persists but to no effect. Is that likely to change . Is it soon to end . I doubt it, lou. I mean, the u. S. And the white houses policy is deescalation of the russians and to try to get them on the exit ramp, so to speak. And the fact of the matter is, that rhetoric is encouraging putin to escalate. The exact opposite has happened in crimea and now it is happening in eastern ukraine. And clearly what were seeing right before our eyes is phase one of a possible military campaign because the towns and cities that are now being influenced by special Operation Forces and Security Forces from russia all have rail heads and theres Airports Associated with them which would be key items for an invasion force to have to passion throu pass through if theyre going through eastern ukraine. This is phase one. I think he wants to use intimidation, this is putin, and force the kiev government to come to him and move away to be sure, but if intimidation fails, then its likely he would put the troops in there. And yet the nato nations have done nothing. They announced flights over balance particular states today. Thats an effect one cant even imagine, yet the European Union has done nothing, period, when it comes to either engaging putin or trying to reverse the course of events. So where are we headed here . Well, i think were clearly heading towards the kiev government is probably recognizing and coming to grips with the very harsh and sane reality that the United States is not going to do anything to help them. Theyve asked forearms and theyve got meals ready to eat that our troops use. The fact of the matter is, they know now theyre not going to get the tough sanctions imposed on russia that would discourage them from possibly doing other things. So they may be thinking about making some kind of an accommodation with the russians because they know for a fact that the United States is not going to be there for them and it doesnt look like the e. U. Is going to be there for them and certainly nato. They were never seeking troops to help them. They were seeking weapons to help them, and certainly some tough sanctions imposed on the russians to kind of curb this behavior. I think the ukraine government, sadly to say, is out there by themselves. Lets turn to yemen, to the gathering of al qaeda terrorists in the clear and without seemingly a care in the world. First of all, this didnt strike i think many people as the jv team of al qaeda, the preposterous language of the president in describing an al qaeda that he said for years was on the run, which is obviously not running from anyone right now. What do you make of this . Well, first of all, let me just deal with that horrible characterization of the jv team. I mean, that means the jv team burned down our consulate and killed our ambassador in benghazi and tragically three others and forced the evacuation of a cia base. That was an al qaeda affiliate organization, and by the president s definition, the socalled jv team. This organization here in publishing this video, that was the most brazen thing ive seen in some time. We havent seen videos like that going back prior to 9 11. The fact that he exposed himself in the video demonstrates the assertiveness and confidence that they have. Im not sure what his motivations are, but i think, one, we can speculate that the fact that al qaeda, lou, has really increased their influence and control over territory in the middle east at large and in north and northeast Africa Speaks to the confidence youre seeing in that video and, secondly, it may possibly be that the leader here really wants to gain a stronger position inside of the al qaeda movement. After all, zawahiri who is the head of al qaeda after Osama Bin Laden was killed is a recluse essentially hidingrom the United States and its weapons in pakistan, possibly in the mountains, not really doing much of anything and certainly not being exposed on a video. So thats possible explanation for whats taking place. You noted that theyre shielding some of the faces, and i think some of our intel folks believe thats because theyre probably europeans or westerners and they need to return to those communities after theyve been properly trained. General, as always, thank you so much. General jack keane. Bundy and his family stood up and the federal government backed down, but the dark force behind the confrontation between the federal government and one citizen appears to be senator harry reid. Mercedes kolwin on the Court Battles that up. A short word thats a tall order. Up your game. Up the ante. And if you stumble, you get back up. Up isnt easy, and we ought to know. Were in the business of up. Everyday delta flies a quarter of Million People while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. Were raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again. Senator harry reid, he says the fight isnt over. Reids son, rory, says bundy broke the law and should be prosecuted. The federal bureau of Land Management run by harry reids former senior policy advisor has promised to continue his battle against bundy in the courts. Joining us now, leading attorneys lease whooel, mercedes colwin. I think the reid family here, mercedes, is a little revved up. 200 agents they sick on one rancher. Are you kidding me . Its such a p. R. Disaster. This is the worst part of it. He hasnt paid 1. 2 million in fees. We know hes been trespassing according to the courts. The courts have determined against him. Let me interject there. They have, but the fact is that thats harry reids boy, the judge who found there are two judges actually. Not the first one. And this is the same fella that harry reid thought ought to be on the Supreme Court so this is a pretty incestuous little deal. I understand. I get the uneasiness, lou. When you look at the law, the laws pretty clear. I love the law. You cant be a squatter on federal land. If that were the case, youd have a serious pproroblblem. You dont descend 200 agents. Youre talking one rancher. Deal with it on a smaller scale. It was a p. R. Disaster. Mercedes is right, on the law he is wrong. You go back before 1870 which is where his people had the ranch. His family. Right. Before that nevada ceded over to the federal government their rights to the federal their land to the federal government. He has no right to that land at all. Did that before 1870 . Yes. Under the the other claim i heard is because of the treaty of guadelupe even the governor of nevada says its not our land. Hes been working with the energy group, the Chinese Company that is here. Ive got to tell you, when youre talking about federal land and boundaries are being shifted to protect a tortoise that isnt, a, endangered and, b, is being euthanized by u. S. Fish and wild life services, it smells to high heaven. I dont know whos right or whos wrong, but ill tell you this with absolute certainty. Folks, youre the attorneys, theres no one in this deal whos all right or all wrong. Youre probably true. If you look at the courts. Go back. The courts have interpreted pretty liberally the u. S. Governments right to their own land. There is a property clause in the constitution setting in the sun. Lets say you build your home on land. Your private land but it abuts federal land and you decide, im going to fence in my home. A lot of reasons. Right. But the government can step in and courts have ruled that the government can step in and take down your fence because you cant you cant obstruct federal land and allow ingress. Tell me this. What is to be adjudicated here . Well, its already hes been assaulted by the bureau of Land Management. Right. And the tortoises have been killed by the u. S. Fish and wildlife. Everything that weve been told to this point is a damn lie and its going to take some sorting out, dont you think . Itll take some sorting out, but youve got to go walk it back a little bit. We are the legal people. Legally mercedes and i agree he is in the wrong legally. Did the federal government screw it up by completely overreacting and doing the two arrests and the tasing and the guns and all of that . Theres more at work here than law. There is justice. Sure. Riempt and abuse of government. And abuse of government power and taking of the property. Dont we have to take into account the fact that senator reids former senior policy advisor now runs the blm sure. And seems to be operating pretty much as a toady for the reid interest . That roary is the representative of Enn Energy Group . Doesnt that strike everybody as a little coincidental. There has to be a tempered reaction. Lou is absolutely right. I was a former Public Servant for many years. Your taxpayer monies are at risk here. You dont have an action. How many tens of thousands of dollars did they spend with 200 agents. An estimated 389,000. 389,000 to be exact. You cant as a Public Servant squander taxpayers money. Which is why they went down on saturday and said, thats it. Were giving all the cattle back to you. Were leaving you alone basically but we still want your million bucks. So what happened between the previous saturday and that saturday. Seven days of standoff with everybody 100 or more protestors, militia men. Everyone with gun. Shone a little light on a government out of control. The government said were backing down. That was the were backing down. Its the power of the people. And that is a powerful entity, indeed. It is. We hope. Thanks so much. Appreciate it, ladies. Thank you, mercedes. Thank you. If only billionaire Michael Bloomberg would put his money where his mouth is. Instead, hes spending 50 million to continue his assault on the second amendment.

My friend, lou dobbs, its great to be back on the radio in new york city, even better on fox business channel. Great to see you all. We are delighted we dont have to choose. We can accommodate both. Lets start with this nevada mess. Harry reid looks like the dark, Sinister Force orchestrating all of this. Your thoughts . Well, i couldnt agree with you more. This is an evil individual, at least in my mind, and his actions, i think, certainly underscore it. I think what happened is that harry reid got frustrated and annoyed and because he is arguably the second or third most powerful person in the United States, he put his foot down and said to the bureau of Land Management, go take care of the bundies. Im tired of this. I want to build another solar plant or whatever the heck he wants to do. Take care of it. Get rid of it. And his son, rory, chris, seems to have a pretty good job. I mean, chris, this guy is the sole representative of enn group in the United States . He and papa are doing some kind of business, arent they . Well, the whole thing stinks, obviously. It wreaks of corruption. The New York Times ought to be looking into it. I dont believe that they are. It looks like corruption. Harry reid lets just for a moment assume that all of this is incorrect, that its all just made up. Its all an unfair smear. This would be harry reids chickens coming home to roost. After all the smears that hes launched after mitt romney and the evil koch brothers. Lets say none of it is true. Pardon me. Nobody deserves it more than harry reid. But it does look like theres at least some merit to the discussion that there is corruption behind all of this and lets see if our news media does their job. Well, its also, you know, the fact that harry reids former senior policy advisor is the head of the blm. Its hard to stack up this many questions. Chris says it looks like corruption. It certainly does look like corruption. The bundy family, this is federal land. This is a very complicated case. A lot of people who are deep into the legalities say that the bundy family is on weak legal ground. The problem is the fact that once they got involved, they went in with i a heavy handed wait a minute, you think its heavy handed to send in 200 federal agents yeah. Along with local Law Enforcement agents yeah. Using lethal force being prepared to use lethal force against one man . You see that as overwhelming . Of course it was. Insane. It was so mishandled from the beginning. From the beginning it was based on a corrupt premise which is what the reid family wanted this to go down. What they miscalculated was that the bundy family would fight back and local militias would fight back and you would get a widespread backlash to what the federal government was doing. John, i think were going to see an investigation that reaches beyond. Monicas exactly right and elyse wheel and ms. Colwin told us this is a difficult basis for the bundy family, but the fact is i think were going to see an investigation thats going to shed entirely new light on this and any light on the reids right now i think will cause them immense pain. I couldnt agree with you more. I think the bundies are going to lose the legal argument here, but i think and i think and im hoping that the big loser is harry reid and the reid family. Yeah. Let me turn to this is extraordinary. Eric holder today talking about youthful experimentation, referring to his own, talking enthusiastically about the legalization of marijuana in this country on the same day that we get a study out showing that marijuana actually changes the circuitry in the human brain. Have these people well, forgive the expression lost their minds . If youre talking to me, lou, yes, indeed. They have lost their minds. I think this whole marijuana kick, the whole push across this country to legalize medical marijuana is a sham and it is it is intended to do one thing and one thing only, and that is to legalize marijuana. It is a disaster that is going to come and bite us in the you know what ultimately because the consequences of this are really we dont even know, as you said in the study today, it shows that the brain goes permanently in a different direction than before the user started to smoke the dope. How about the fact that we are that they are putting into effect in operation a marijuana dispensing machine, like a cocacola machine . We dont dispense alcohol. We dont dispense drugs, but marijuana . Put your buck in, take a joint, and off you go. Chris plante, your thoughts . You know, its Barack Obamas america were aspiring to, a work free drug place. I think what were seeing here between barack obama being an old pot smoker, eric holder being an old pot smoker, what we doe know is if you smoke a lot of pot, youre not good at government, youre not good at math, youre not good at leading. You know, youre left incapable of doing a whole lot of things thatould be handy if you happen to be running the government of the United States of america. Yes, but in Obamas America you fail up, right . The whole point of legalizing is that the state and local government and maybe ultimately the federal government can get more tax revenue. Theyre taxing this. Theyll get the revenue however they can. Already disa pointing results on that front from colorado.

Rancher cliven bundy, his family and friends prevailed against a federal agency trying to crush them under the weight of our federal government. This fight isnt over by any means. In fact, the bureau of Land Management as much as says the fight will go on in court and whatever course they choose to take. Thats why we on this broadcast will be watching all the way, because there are just too many unexplained relationships in this standoff between the powerful federal government and one citizen, one man who had the guts to stand up. A lot of questions remain. Why did the bureau of Land Management act so unscrupulously and bring such overwhelming force against one citizen . Is it a coincidence that senator harry reids son, rory, represents the Chinese Company enn group that bought land in nevada well below market value . A coincidence that the head of the bureau of Land Management is senator reids former senior policy advisor . Is all of this pure coincidence . Why were reid and his son both deeply involved in a plan by chinese enn group to build a huge solar farm in Southern Nevada . Is it also a coincidence that the judge who ruled against bundy was recently elevated to the federal appellate bench with reids endorsement and support . A lot of coincidences.
