Deep dives
Global Protests Against Mass Immigration
Protests against mass immigration are taking place around the world, indicating that this issue extends beyond the left-right political divide. In Dublin, Ireland, a massive crowd marched against illegal immigration, expressing a desire to restore their nation's identity. Similar protests have occurred in Stockholm, Sweden, where thousands demanded an end to left-wing propaganda in state television. The Italian farmers have also taken to the streets, blocking roads to protest against policies that threaten their livelihoods. These movements highlight the growing discontent of the average person against the ruling elites.
The EU's Green Agenda and the Plight of Farmers
Farmers in Europe, particularly in Germany and France, are protesting against the EU's green agenda, which jeopardizes their way of life. The EU aims to reduce pesticide use, cut subsidies for diesel, and limit farmland. These policies pose significant challenges for farmers as they impede their ability to make a living while combating climate change. The demonstrations underscore farmers' concerns about rising food prices, potential hunger crises, and the impact on elections and migration. The protests also reveal a wider issue of governments disregarding the interests of their agricultural sector.
The Declining Health of Joe Biden
Concerns about Joe Biden's declining health are evident in his recent public appearances. His frequent instances of forgetting his thoughts and struggling to articulate are alarming. Given his inability to effectively communicate and his controversial statements, it raises questions about whether he is fit for the presidency. Such concerns are reinforced by the fact that the Democrats themselves acknowledge that he is not electable in 2024 and lacks the capacity to lead effectively. The growing evidence of his deteriorating mental state makes it imperative for the Democratic Party to consider alternative candidates.
Challenges Faced by Conservative Attorneys
Conservative attorneys are encountering numerous challenges, including lawsuits and ethics complaints, hindering their ability to defend causes aligned with conservative values. This situation is particularly evident with issues related to freedom of speech and opposition to the current administration's policies. The combination of legal pressure and societal pressure makes it increasingly difficult for conservative attorneys to advocate for their clients and uphold conservative principles. This predicament emphasizes the need for support and resources, including the potential establishment of conservative legal firms or funding for attorneys who align with conservative ideals.
Glenn looks at some of the protests that are happening all over the world. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts joins to discuss his appearance at the World Economic Forum and analyzes the failures of the Swamp members in D.C. The guys react to President Biden's latest senile moment.
