Summary
First, at the Munich Security Conference, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked a straightforward foreign policy question about China and Taiwan. She stammered badly and did not come close to answering the question. If she is trying to position herself as a presidential candidate, this was a pathetic start.
Next, during that same conversation in Munich, Gretchen Whitmer fumbles a question about the endgame in Ukraine and surprisingly suggests that Ocasio-Cortez knows more about foreign policy than she does. Is this another sign Whitmer will not be in the 2028 presidential field?
Finally, they shake their heads as HBO's Bill Maher tries to blast the Trump administration for rolling back the Obama-era endangerment finding on carbon dioxide by making a joke that clearly proves Maher does not know what he's talking about. Jim also reflects on his personal experiences appearing on Maher’s show and what it’s like behind the scenes.

| 0:19.2 | It's the President's Day recess. |
| 0:21.2 | You're basically everybody in Washington who has a government job not working today. Your |
| 0:25.6 | politicians certainly aren't working today. But we are. And today we're going to be looking |
| 0:29.6 | at cluelessness on the left all the way through. It's going to be a really fun addition. |
| 0:34.6 | And certainly some people who should never be present in the United States, there are people talking about them being president at least two out of three but |
| 0:40.8 | let's head over to the Munich security conference which was happening over the past few days |
| 0:47.1 | a lot of rave reviews for the for the Rubio speech and him defending Western civilization |
| 0:51.9 | and U.S. intervention when necessary because the U.N. is completely |
| 0:55.2 | factless. But there are also a bunch of lefties over there, and we're going to be taking a look at |
| 0:59.1 | them in order here, starting with AOC. There's no reason why she should be considered a presidential |
| 1:05.7 | contender, but she's beloved on the left, and, you know, she's kind of a Bernie Sanders |
| 1:10.4 | acolyte. |
| 1:11.0 | He's probably too old to run again, but you never know. |
| 1:14.4 | So she gets asked a very simple question, Jim, should the U.S. commit troops to defend Taiwan if China moves against them? |
| 1:23.9 | Here's the question and the painful answer. |
| 1:27.0 | Would and should the U.S. |
| 1:29.4 | actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move? You know, I think that |
