Summary
Squeals of “socialism!” and “Venezuela!” aside, we know how to nationalize industries that are working against our nation’s interests and have done it before, repeatedly. This time it’s not just about saving our banks or fighting a war. This time, it’s about saving the world. Paris-based journalist Cole Stangler joins Thom to unpack the first results from the 2022 French election. Emmanuel Macron and Marie Le Pen go through to the final round for the presidency of France. The polls are too close to call. Are we about to see France lurch to the far-right?
