Never Never Trump


One accusation often thrown at Republicans is that they are devoid of an intellectual underpinning to their politics. In some respects this is true since our ivory towers are crawling with erudite-sounding numbskulls. Mark Levin had an egghead on his show last night who was a exception to this mindless meme. He was and is Neil Ferguson, who is a fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. If you can listen to someone, who half likes Trump, talk sense about our current foreign and domestic efforts under The Donald, take about 30 minutes (almost the whole show) to listen to the above for some well-thought through analyses of our current situation viewed through an historic lens.

To fill in the lost last video segments, go to this transcript: Levin Interview Transcript.

If you can’t agree with 90% of what he is saying, you are not paying attention to what has been happening geopolitically.

Good stuff. Rather non committal. I expected he would decry the blunt withdrawal from the TPP and the bromance Trump has with Putin.

If anything, I thought he was hopeful Trump could counter China by courting Putin more. (This might have been in the transcript piece.) I don’t recall he dealt with TPP.
