Time Text
Have a caricature that they create.
That keeps them leftist because they know that those who oppose them are so despicable and stupid.
Okay, so it's two days ago, the laughter went two and a half million views on YouTube.
Amazing.
Yes, indeed.
Well, as I always say, we know them, but they don't know us.
That's the way it works.
Alrighty, let's go to, where is Louis?
Yes, Louis, 18 years old.
Is that correct, Louis?
Yes, sir.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Thank you.
Why are you home today?
Why am I home?
Yeah.
Oh, I have a college online.
Oh, cool.
Good man.
Good.
Yeah.
I want to avoid the lefties at school.
Yeah, I totally get it.
I think most colleges are not worth a dime.
Yeah, because I would speak in class at least one time, and the whole class, the reaction, it was hell.
Yeah, I can imagine.
All right, what's on your mind?
So I want to ask a question.
I wanted to ask, why is it that national populism is spreading?
Not only across Europe, but I see across some developed Latin American countries like Argentina.
And Brazil.
Yeah.
Right.
My theory, it's a great question and thank you for it.
My theory is that people need something to believe in.
The left has crushed everything that people believe in.
They've crushed Judeo-Christian religions.
They've crushed belief in one's country.
And it is a very healthy thing to have a non-toxic national celebration and identity.
I'll say more when we get back.
