Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization, all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization, its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values.

And it's just the beginning.

I'm Dr. Steve Turling. I believe the liberal globalist world is at its brink and a new conservative age is rising.

Join me every day as we examine these worldwide trends, discover answers to today's toughest challenges, and together learn to live in the present in light of even better things to come.

This is Turley Talks.

For those of you just coming in, welcome, welcome, go ahead and put a question in the Q&A chat. We'll try to get to as many as we can tonight. We've got lots coming in.

And as always, put your name where you're from in that chat. So let's talk about Biden's trip to Ukraine.

Like you said, it could not have come in a worse time the wrong way is actually going where he needs to go. Trump, of course, going to Ohio while Biden parades around Susan says, what is your take on the Biden trip to Ukraine?

I heard Putin gave permission for Biden to go. Do you think the people will start to wake up more because he went to Ukraine before Ohio?

I think so. I think optically it was a disaster. You know, one of the things I do, I sort of counter read the mainstream media when you look at how much, how far they go to try to sell you on the fact that this is great.

This is exactly what Biden needed to do around this one year mark, February 24th to be the one year mark.

And they just, you know, he's sticking it to Putin and he's, you know, he's upstaging Putin and all this sort of stuff that you're kind of going with all of these American citizens suffering at home, particularly what may in fact end up being the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history in East Palestine.

You know, it just, it couldn't come at a worse time and the optics couldn't have been more horrific. Look, for me, you're seeing something that's very interesting and a lot of people are recognizing some both the populist right as well as the populist left.

So Jimmy door or Russell brand would fall into these things. You're seeing one of the reasons why billionaires and bureaucrats are hooking up.

It's very interesting. And again, this is part of some of the studies I've been availing myself on authoritarian studies and tyranny studies.

There is a field of study known as authoritarian studies, which is very, very fascinating field, actually, it's horrifying when you go, wow, sounds like they're just describing what's happening today.

One of the reasons why particularly liberals, but the permanent public class in general is aligning themselves with the business class with big business, big tech, big tech, obviously to, to censor, but one of the reasons why, you know, they're aligning themselves with sorrows and bezos and all these, all these people is because authoritarian regimes need cash flow.

Irrespective, totally independent of their populations, the more a regime is dependent on the support of its populations, the more they have to govern in accordance with the values of those populations.

But if a government wants to govern according to its own values and that state autonomy theory state autonomy theory says your modern state.

Its natural propensities not to represent the values interest concerns of constituents, but rather the values interest and concerns of bureaucrats. In other words, states exist generally unless they are linked in with

what's known as redemptive democracy unless they're linked in with their constituents, their voting populations, if they're linked in there, then they have to represent their values interest concerns or they get voted out of office.

The more governments can amputate themselves from being dependent on the support of their constituent populations, the more they can govern in accordance with their own values interest and concerns.
