In this episode, Alex Blumberg explains why Congresswoman Ilhan Omar might not be as smart as we think she is, and why she thinks there have been 11 different world wars. And why she's wrong about one of them.
00:00:00.000One of the universal experiences of parenthood is that sooner rather than later, your child will say something that's simultaneously very dumb, but also endearing because it reflects a view of the world that is very innocent, a view that no adult could possibly have.
00:00:15.320A child might assume that his teacher lives at school, for example, and then he'll express utter shock and horror when he sees one of the teachers at the grocery store.
00:00:23.820maybe he'll wonder why the moon is following him around at night or why people don't just
00:00:28.920use ATMs to withdraw unlimited money. Unless you're a chronic marijuana user, these are not
00:00:35.420the kind of thoughts you typically have as an adult. It's a simplistic, off-kilter way of
00:00:41.020thinking, but you give it a pass and find it charming when it's coming from your five-year-old.
00:00:47.020When you're scrolling through videos on your phone, though, and you hear something like this
00:00:52.860from a sitting member of Congress, on the other hand, all of the charm is lost. You see, in order
00:00:59.380to be a member of Congress, you have to be 25 years old at a minimum. So your frontal cortex
00:01:04.320has to be relatively well-developed, at least in theory. We have this restriction as minimal as it
00:01:10.220is because we don't want legislators introducing bills that guarantee, you know, I don't know,
00:01:15.300mandatory birthday parties every month. And we also don't want members of Congress to stand in
00:01:19.940a podium and deliver moments like this one live on national television watch the last time the
00:01:28.180alien enemies act was invoked it was used to detain and deport german japanese italian immigrants
00:01:36.900doing world war 11 2. the phrase jaw dropping is overused these days but there's really no better
00:01:46.740way to describe that footage. She tells us, without hesitating at all, that this particular law
00:01:52.980has not been invoked since World War XI. Yes, World War XI. Whoever wrote this script for
00:02:00.900Ilhan Omar, needless to say, badly overestimated her intelligence in at least two different ways.
00:02:06.600First of all, of course, she read the Roman numeral II as XI, which means that she somehow
00:02:11.620has no familiarity with the concept of a Roman numeral, we can deduce that she's never opened
00:02:17.800a history book at any point in her life or watched a movie sequel or read an outline or
00:02:23.500paid any attention to the Super Bowl or seen one of those old-fashioned clock faces or met anyone
00:02:29.660who's named after his father or anything like that. But even if for some reason you're inclined
00:02:35.100to give Ilhan Omar a pass for not understanding Roman numerals, there's an even bigger problem
00:02:40.060here, which is that she thinks it's plausible that there were 11 different world wars. It's
00:02:46.820one of those moments, no matter how much you want to give somebody the benefit of the doubt,
00:02:49.920it's simply impossible to defend. The words World War 11 should not come out of your mouth
00:02:55.940under any circumstances. Instinctively, you should know something's wrong at that point and hit the
00:03:02.460brakes before you say anything. Now, people are giving her credit for catching her mistake a
00:03:07.860couple seconds later, but this is one of those errors that just should not happen to begin with.
00:03:13.780The brain needs to intercept that particular thought immediately and neutralize it before
00:03:20.160anyone knows you had it. Now, I'm the first to admit that someone who speaks publicly all the
00:03:25.980time might commit a flub here or there, a gaffe, might mispronounce a name on occasion, or in my
00:03:33.280case mispronounced basically every name, every time. These things are understandable, but the
00:03:37.980term World War XI is so jarring, so wrong, so divorced from reality that it simply should not
00:03:46.320leave your lips. And if it does, then that's evidence of much deeper intellectual deficiencies.
00:03:52.020So in this case, we can assume one of two things. The first possibility, which admittedly is very
00:03:56.600remote is that maybe Ilhan Omar might have an extremely low IQ, and she spent a non-zero
00:04:04.200amount of time after watching The Godfather Part II wondering where the other 10 Godfather
00:04:09.700movies are. She knows she can't find them on Netflix, but she's pretty sure they're
00:04:13.920out there somewhere. She's been searching. Maybe she's done the same thing with Back
00:04:17.600to the Future Part II and Star Wars Episode II and Rocky II. That'd be worst-case scenario
00:04:23.740by far, at least for Ilhan Omar. The other possibility is that she's right and everyone0.99
00:04:27.780else is wrong. Maybe there really have been 11 world wars, and we've just been undercounting
00:04:32.420this whole time. And if that's the case, then effective immediately, I'm calling for one more
00:04:37.480world war. I mean, I'm skeptical of foreign intervention, as everyone knows. And yes,0.61
00:04:43.560there'd be a lot of casualties in World War XII, but if there's already been 11 of them,0.84
00:04:47.080then I think we might as well do one more, make it an even dozen. 11 is a weird number to end on.
00:04:53.240We're so close to a nice round number, and it's about time our leaders did something for the benefit of the OCD community.
00:04:59.560Now, all things considered, though, Occam's razor probably wins here, and that's a sobering realization.0.99
00:05:05.900As I said on X, our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate, moronic, third-world women would one day be shipped into this country, first of all, and then elected to Congress.0.99
00:05:22.680we are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders,1.00
00:05:27.760or at least to the extent that it did enter their minds or some version of it.
00:05:31.840They warned us repeatedly not to succumb to it.
00:05:35.440And they didn't mince words. More on that in a second.
00:05:38.440But first, it's important to understand or to underscore the extent of the contrast
00:05:43.540between what Ilhan Omar represents on the one hand
00:05:47.360and the America First leadership that currently sits in the White House on the other.0.51
00:05:52.680What Ilhan Omar represents, although she's too dumb to realize it, is the notion that America is a propositional nation, which is to say a nation that's nothing more than a set of ideas.
00:06:03.260And in particular, she represents the fiction that America is open to everybody, that diversity is our strength, and that everybody who sets foot inside our borders is just as American as anybody else.0.64
00:06:14.920Or maybe they don't even need to be in our borders because if they subscribe to the vague idea of America, whatever that is, then they can be American.
00:06:28.300Paying $70 plus a month to big wireless for unlimited data is totally insane.

00:07:29.620Now, yesterday, Donald Trump hosted King Charles III at the White House, or as Ilhan Omar calls him, King Charles 111.
00:07:37.820And Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career, without question.
00:08:18.480Here in the shadows of monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, honoring the British king, might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence.
00:08:34.740But in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate.
00:08:39.260Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character and a creed.
00:08:47.300Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts, moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea.0.64
00:09:01.140for nearly two centuries before the revolution this land was settled and forged by men women
00:09:07.940who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the british here on a wild and untamed
00:09:16.040continent they set loose the ancient english love of liberty and the great britain's distinctive
00:09:23.080sense of glory destiny and pride and that's what it is glory destiny and pride the american
00:09:31.080patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic
00:09:39.220inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English
00:09:46.180faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true. The American patriots who pledged their
00:09:54.460lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran
00:09:59.660with Anglo-Saxon courage. Every single time they say Trump is equivalent to Hitler and every single
00:10:06.960time they call MAGA supporters Nazis, they're trying to deprogram you so that you don't think
00:10:12.780along these lines. They're trying to imply that if you think heritage matters, then you must be a
00:10:18.360horrible person. But the truth is there's nothing hateful or genocidal or authoritarian about
00:10:24.340believing something that happens to be true. And it's true demonstrably so that your heritage
00:10:29.480matters, your genetics matter, your culture matters. You know, the reason Somalia looks1.00
00:10:34.880the way it does, and we all know it, has nothing to do with systemic racism or oppression or
00:10:40.660colonialism. There are plenty of other formerly colonized countries from South Korea to Botswana
00:10:46.160that aren't anywhere near as dysfunctional. Now, for decades in Somalia, they've been fighting
00:10:52.120among themselves. Believe it or not, they just passed a law making sexual assault a crime a few
00:10:57.100years ago. That's when they got around to it. That's when it occurred to them that that should
00:11:02.940be a crime. That's the kind of thing that happens when you don't have any common law tradition or,
00:11:08.000you know, a basic sense of morality. At the state dinner last night, Trump hammered the same point.
00:11:14.060Watch. From English towns and Scottish hills, from Welch mountains and Irish villages,
00:11:20.500A people unique in history sailed across the mighty Atlantic to settle and civilize this continent in the name of God, king and country.
00:11:33.180So beautiful. They called it New England and meant that very, very literally.
00:11:39.240The first Americans saw themselves as free men carrying the forward and central liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo-Saxons into this new and beautiful world.
00:11:54.120In the eyes of America's founders, our war of independence was fought not to reject this heritage, but to reclaim it and perfect it.
00:12:05.420As the founding father, George Mason, wrote, we claim nothing but the liberty and privileges of Englishmen in the same degree as we had still continued among our brethren when we were in Great Britain.
00:12:20.300I was making the point that contrary to what many historians want you to think, the American Revolution wasn't actually a seismic split from Europe.
00:12:28.720It wasn't a complete reset. It wasn't a new order of the ages, at least not initially.
00:12:33.120Really, it was a continuation of a common tradition and heritage in many ways, and that's why we were successful.
00:12:41.240Does anyone seriously doubt that if Somalians had somehow descended from the British and Germanic tribes, Somalia would be in a much better place today?
00:12:49.500Well, unfortunately, the answer is yes, people do doubt that.
00:12:51.900The reason we're in so much trouble right now is that, indeed, millions of people genuinely believe that Somalia would look exactly the same if it had been a product of Anglo-Saxon tradition.
00:13:04.800One such true believer, we can surmise, is King Charles himself.
00:13:09.420Watch what he told Congress yesterday afternoon.
00:13:12.480The founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause.
00:13:21.900Two hundred and fifty years ago, or as we say in the United Kingdom, just the other day,
00:15:41.020What King Charles is implying is that the diversity of the colonists was comparable in some way to the diversity that the left talks about today, but it wasn't remotely comparable.
00:15:52.900Especially because when the left says diversity, they mean most of the time not white is what they're talking about, which is why they might refer to a diverse person.
00:16:01.400How could one person be diverse all on their own? Well, because they're not white.
00:16:04.540now the diversity of 2026 means that we get somali daycare centers in minneapolis where0.99
00:16:13.200they can't even spell the word learning on the sign it means we get hordes of hispanic gang0.94
00:16:17.480members in los angeles waving the mexican flag as they set fire to police cars and waymos and0.99
00:16:22.460small businesses the moment the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law it means the0.96
00:16:26.940descendants of kenyans who score in the 50th percentile in the sat can walk into harvard no0.94
00:16:32.260questions asked. That's the diversity we're told to celebrate today. And it's a sick joke
00:16:37.340to compare this practice in any way to the unification of the 13 colonies to create the
00:16:43.980United States of America. The colonies were created by men with a shared heritage.
00:16:50.320Modern proponents of diversity explicitly want to destroy that heritage. And that's why when
00:16:56.060he announced that he was running for president seven years ago, Joe Biden read a script in which
00:17:02.100he declared that America is an idea. This is the same video where he repeated the Charlottesville
00:17:09.360very fine people hoax. Watch. Our standing in the world, our very democracy, everything that has
00:17:17.180made America, America is at stake. That's why today I'm announcing my candidacy for president
00:17:24.000of the United States. Folks, America is an idea, an idea that's stronger than any army, bigger than
00:17:30.820in the ocean more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. It gives hope to the most desperate
00:17:36.280people on earth. It guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity and gives hate no safe
00:17:42.900harbor. It instills in every person in this country the belief that no matter where you start
00:17:47.940in life, there's nothing you can't achieve if you work at it. That's what we believe.
00:17:55.380America guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity. America gives hope to the most
00:18:00.620desperate people on earth. He's not simply repeating vapid slogans here, although he's
00:18:06.660certainly doing that. Really, Joe Biden and his handlers, what they're doing is that they're
00:18:12.980trying to do the exact same thing they did with gender. They want to destroy the entire concept
00:18:16.920by making it completely subjective. Now, there's no limiting principle here. Joe Biden's definition
00:18:22.760of America is meaningless. We have no identity. We have no objective characteristics at all.
00:18:48.620In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea,
00:18:53.960But the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776.
00:19:04.080The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides of the Atlantic.
00:19:15.180Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right.
00:19:32.520Now, it's worth keeping in mind, once again, how different this scene would look if Kamala Harris had been elected president.
00:22:40.920And I think the framers recognized that.
00:22:44.620And diversity is fine, but diversity does not make a nation.
00:22:50.180Now, you used to be able to make observations like this in public without having your life destroyed.
00:22:54.200And just to illustrate that point a little more, remember when everyone lost their minds over the appeal to heaven pine tree flag that was flying outside of Samuel Alito's house a few years ago?
00:24:57.360honor and to be the first to stand in your majesty's presence in a diplomatic character.
00:25:07.740I shall esteem myself the happiest of men if I can be instrumental in restoring the
00:25:15.640confidence and affection, or in better words, the good old nature and the good old humor,
00:25:25.360Between peoples who, though separated by an ocean and under different governments, have the same language, similar religion, and kindred blood.
00:25:43.720Quote, who, though separated by an ocean and under different governments, have the same language, a similar religion, and kindred blood.
00:27:22.040We have our own shared traditions and heritage, and none of it is captured, at least not fully, by describing us as Italian-Americans or German-Americans or Anglo-Saxons or anything else.
00:27:35.840This is a post on X that I want to highlight because it captures exactly this idea.
00:27:39.920Quote, America must be understood as its own ethnos.0.50
00:27:43.800You're not a mutt. You're not English, Irish, French, Italian, Polish, Scottish, German, because you've got fractions and percents of each.0.72
00:27:50.820You belong to your own ethnic group, unique to this continent, distinct from all others.0.99
00:27:56.400Theodore Roosevelt understood this well.0.96
00:27:58.420Quote, the children and grandchildren of the men who came here from England, Ireland, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe have become Americans, a new race with a new ethnic type.
00:28:09.060And there are no more Englishmen or Germans or Scandinavians than the descendants of the Norman invaders of England are Frenchmen.0.81
00:28:15.120The frontier conditions made a new race. The stern struggle with the wilderness and with wild men welded together the descendants of many European stocks into one people, the American. Out of the crucible of the wilderness came a new ethnic type, party, self-reliant, democratic and instinct, and with a continent for its inheritance.0.62
00:28:34.640not steady roosevelt now if you doubt any of that and all of it is just clearly true
00:28:44.320doesn't really matter how it makes you feel it just is but if you doubt it look around today
00:28:49.340we're the only country on the planet that still respects the freedom of speech even as countries
00:28:53.140like britain and germany have abandoned it they arrest comedians in britain like graham linehan
00:28:58.680for offending the cult of transgenderism we don't do that here we also have a unique system of
00:29:03.800government, a unique way of electing our head of state. We create all the movies and television
00:29:08.480shows worth watching, with very few exceptions. We make the most vitally important technology
00:29:13.500products that everyone in the world uses or benefits from, from the phone to the search
00:29:17.840engine to self-driving cars to reusable rockets. We innovate. And in general, we are civilized to
00:29:25.180a much greater degree than most of the world. Just as one example to illustrate that last point,
00:29:30.260one example of many that could be used. There's been a lot of talk, especially in recent years,
00:29:36.800about pollution in the ocean. A few years ago, we went through, as you remember, the great
00:29:41.760plastic straw panic, where every restaurant in the country switched over to paper straws
00:29:46.660that melt in your Diet Coke while you're trying to use them. But as I said at the time, this panic
00:29:52.160was always totally absurd, at least in our country, because almost none of the pollution in the ocean
00:29:56.600is from the United States. Why? Because the United States, for the most part, we don't dump our trash
00:30:03.060into the rivers, which then ferry it like a conveyor belt into the ocean. No, that is done
00:30:08.600in Africa and Asia, which is why 95% of the plastic pollution in the ocean comes from those0.89
00:30:13.880two continents. That leaves only 5% of the ocean's plastic debris to be split between
00:30:19.020the continents of Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. Brazil is the worst
00:30:23.800plastic offender outside of Asia and Africa. 23 European countries collectively are 18th on the
00:30:29.120list. The United States comes in 20th. America, with its population of 330 million, is dwarfed
00:30:35.740on the plastic pollutant list by countries like Sri Lanka, with 310 million fewer people.0.82
00:30:42.980So we could collect all the straws in North America, bundle them together, and shoot them
00:30:46.740into the sun, and the state of the ocean would hardly be improved at all. Indeed, we could stop
00:30:50.900using plastic altogether. It would barely make a dent in the problem. And that's because, again,
00:30:55.000we are a civilized country and we don't dump our trash into our rivers. That's exactly what they
00:31:01.140do all across Asia and Africa. In fact, the problem is so bad in the most contaminated river
00:31:05.960in the world, which is the River Saline in Southeast Asia, that local fishermen have
00:31:11.040abandoned fishing, many of them, at least abandoned fishing for actual fish. And instead, they fish
00:31:17.100for glass and plastic, which they can then sell. Fishermen are now catching trash in the river
00:31:23.720rather than fish, because basic things like waste disposal and hygiene are not practiced
00:31:31.380across wide swaths of the globe. That's the point. Well, Americans don't tolerate dysfunction like
00:31:39.960that. Now, yes, there are cities within the United States, which are overrun with people
00:31:44.500who aren't Americans, many of them, that are dysfunctional. But cities and towns that are0.99
00:31:49.480run by Americans are a different matter entirely. And if we want to eliminate any dysfunction for0.99
00:31:54.120good, we have no choice but to ensure that America is ruled by and for Americans.
00:32:00.680Thanks to HomeServe for sponsoring this episode. You know, there are a lot of perks to
00:32:05.200owning a home versus renting from a landlord. But one of the things that most people dread about
00:32:09.640buying and owning a home are the expensive repairs that are bound to happen. Regular
00:32:13.660homeowners. Insurance doesn't cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical
00:32:18.960issues, leaving you on your own to cover the repairs. But now there's another option called
00:32:23.760HomeServe. For as little as $4.99 a month, you've got backup when things break. Instead of frantically
00:32:29.240searching for a contractor in a panic, you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24-7
00:32:34.700hotline getting someone scheduled. HomeServe has a lot of different plans to cover, to choose from
00:33:09.900Go to homeserved.com to find the plan that's right for you. That's homeserved.com. Not available everywhere. Most plans range from between $4.99 to $11.99 a month for your first year. Terms apply on covered repairs.
00:33:21.800Now, my show is proud to be sponsored by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian university based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. At GCU, academically rigorous, industry-driven programs are built to provide you with practical skills and career readiness. They believe education shouldn't be a privilege, but an affordable path forward.
00:33:42.600Because of this, GCU has kept tuition at the same rate on a traditional campus for the past 17 years
00:33:47.580and will continue that into the 26-27 academic year.
00:33:51.160Plus, they awarded over $404 million institutional GCU scholarships last year to support and encourage education.
00:33:57.880Grounded in Christian truth, GCU works to empower the next generation to lead with integrity,
00:34:02.760serve with purpose, and help transform their communities.
00:34:05.900So take action and find your purpose at GCU.
00:34:12.140So, in the spirit of our Founding Fathers, I humbly present my proposal for what you might call a Heritage American Bill of Rights.
00:34:22.640This is a series of rules that, if enforced, would ensure the future survival of the United States by protecting the culture and shared heritage that our president has correctly identified as fundamental to our existence as a nation.1.00
00:34:36.060Rule number one, first-generation immigrants should not be permitted to serve in Congress at all.0.97
00:34:42.020especially illiterate Somali ones, but also in general.1.00
00:34:45.720Like, if you just got here, then you have no business telling Americans how to live their lives.0.99
00:34:51.200You have no business spending their money.
00:34:53.660You certainly have no business complaining all the time or defaming millions of people.
00:34:57.120It's the height of humiliation for Americans to have to listen to a member of Congress talk about World War XI.
00:35:04.600No self-respecting country would tolerate this. We shouldn't either.
00:35:07.580We already require that presidents must be natural-born citizens, and that requirement
00:35:14.680should simply be extended to Congress as well, for all the same reasons that we apply to the
00:35:18.460presidency. Rule number two, foreigners who can't speak English or who cost taxpayers money1.00
00:35:24.060should be deported. And if they're citizens, they should be denaturalized and deported.1.00
00:35:30.800Anyone who doesn't speak our language is not an American. They can't participate in our society.1.00
00:35:39.980Communication is perhaps the fundamental requirement, number one, of participating in a society,
00:35:49.820is being able to communicate. And if you can't do that, then you're not a participant in that
00:35:54.660society, you're not a member of that society. So they can't assimilate. They can only wall
00:36:00.540themselves off in ethnic enclaves, which breed resentment and fraud and poverty. And obviously,1.00
00:36:05.480if these people are drawing from welfare benefits, the situation is even less sustainable.
00:36:11.220If you come to this country and you become a net drain on society,
00:36:14.920then you need to go back. You cannot come to this country and then immediately become someone that
00:36:23.100the rest of us have to take care of. That's not our responsibility, actually. It's not our
00:36:28.360responsibility as Americans to take care of the entire world. I actually have my own kids. I take
00:36:34.920care of them. You're coming here from Guatemala or something. Not my responsibility to take care of1.00
00:36:40.940you. Go talk to your own family. Go talk to your own countrymen. Figure it out at home.
00:36:46.540Not my job. Sorry. We can't afford any other outcome. Even if we wanted to feed and educate
00:36:54.100and pay the medical bills for all of the entire world, we can't. I mean, the money simply isn't
00:36:58.820there. It's not a possibility. Rule number three, I've been very open that I think we should
00:37:04.860drastically curtail the right to vote across the board. You should have some actual stake in this
00:37:11.060country at a minimum if you want to vote. There has to be some legacy you want to protect.
00:37:16.280And we can't measure the stakes solely through property ownership, especially since foreigners,
00:37:22.060mainly from China, are buying a lot of our property. We also can't measure the stakes
00:37:25.980solely through the number of children you have, since foreigners are having children at far higher
00:37:29.460rates than the native population. I think a very moderate and extremely generous proposal,0.78
00:37:34.660like I said, this is very moderate, but immigrants should not be allowed to vote in our elections1.00
00:37:39.760until they've been legal citizens in this country for, say, 10 years.1.00
00:37:44.300So you have to become a legal citizen and then wait another 10 years before you can vote.
00:37:48.760Voting is not or shouldn't be a universal right granted to everyone.
00:37:53.460It's not already. We already have some minimal standards for voting.
00:37:57.060You have to be 18. Most states have restrictions on felons voting.
00:38:02.300Our founding fathers obviously intended for the parameters to be much stricter.
00:38:06.840now we can't prevent people from voting based on race and we shouldn't and no one is suggesting that
00:38:12.380but we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual
00:38:17.920adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it i also think
00:38:25.780all voters should be required to complete and pass a fifth grade civics exam which will be
00:38:31.120administered in english by the way that'll check off the you should be an english speaker box as
00:38:34.740well. And we should disenfranchise everyone on welfare, even if they're American citizens.0.56
00:38:42.440You should not be able to vote yourself money from the public treasury. You shouldn't be allowed
00:38:46.280to do that. If I'm paying into the system and you're not, you're taking from it, then your
00:38:51.120vote should not count as much as mine. In fact, you shouldn't have a vote. But let's start with
00:38:56.120the 10-year voting moratorium for new citizens and go from there. Very moderate places start,
00:39:00.960baby steps. Now, will any of these proposals become law? Will any of them ever be enforced?
00:39:08.300It's easy to conclude that no, they won't. And they probably won't. Nothing ever happens as
00:39:13.720the saying goes. But if that's your attitude, consider this. Donald Trump yesterday became
00:39:17.940the first president in probably half century to mention our Anglo-Saxon tradition in a positive
00:39:23.280light. He did something that no other president in modern times has dared to do. And he did it
00:39:30.300multiple times while standing right next to King Charles,
00:39:32.840who was busy muttering about how diversity is our strength.
00:39:36.940As far as contrasts go, it was pretty stark.
00:39:40.300I feel like watching a member of Congress
