Dennis talks to the irrepressible Leon de Winter, the Netherlands leading novelist and political columnist. Topics include: the recent Dutch elections, immigration, and Israel vs. Hamas.

You can divide the world into those who build and those who destroy… The Canadian economy has been moribund since Justin Trudeau became premier… Military recruitment is way down. Maybe the problem is that the Democrats always turn the armed forces into a social experiment.

The Met Opera was interrupted by protestors screaming nonsense about global warming. A mob of pro-Hamas supporters shouted antisemitic slogans in front of Philadelphia deli. Why are these demonstrations a feature of the left?… George Santos was expelled from the House. He was convicted of no crimes. The Ethics committee did not recommend kicking him out, but the House — Democrats and Republicans — did it anyway. This sets a terrible precedent…

Per usual, callers set the agenda. Issues raised include: You say the Left doesn’t want nuclear power… but they do, according to the NYT’s we just don’t have the engineers; I gave up bad words and getting mad at age 55; Republicans are in a conundrum… many people don’t like Trump… the best option is DeSantis; have you ever had your brother on the show; Calhoun’s Utopia – rodent society study compared to human society with regards to reproduction; saying “so what” has changed my life; there are some people who will not leave any inheritance to their children… why would they do that?

Did you come to one realization that made you a happier person? Callers have stories.

The governor of Florida debated the governor of California last night. They drew a sharp contrast. DeSantis pounded the facts. Newsom slipped and slided around the truth. Dennis analyzes some “highlights.” In which state would you rather live?
