0:00.0	Well, according to the media, EU Parliament just had their elections and apparently we're all diving into fascism.
0:07.3	That's right. According to them, a bunch of right wing, ultra-far right-wing, nationalist candidates won seats in the EU parliament, kind of shifting the whole dynamic out there.
0:19.6	And this was something that apparently they didn't expect, but they're going to make sure to let all of us know whole dynamic out there. And this was something that apparently
0:20.8	they didn't expect, but they're going to make sure to let all of us know that it is potentially
0:25.4	the end of the world, unless, of course, we put people that the mainstream media likes
0:29.5	back in power. And this has implications, not just for Europe, it has implications for the United
0:35.1	States, because a lot of the issues that cause
0:37.7	people to win seats in the EU Parliament are also issues which are affecting the presidential
0:42.4	election here in the United States. And so we're going to ask the question, is this going

0:59.6	hyperbolic nonsense? Again, we're going to discuss all of that. Plus, we're also going to take a look at
1:04.7	the fact that when you look at polls going on in the United States right now, Trump is up by 18 points
1:10.7	in swing states. That's nuts.
1:14.5	Does what's going on in Europe have any impact on what's going on in the United States?
1:18.4	All of that and more coming up on this episode brought to you by Good Ranchers. Now, I want to
1:23.5	encourage everyone to go into our community chat. You'll find the link right there on the
1:27.7	show notes page. Go over into the circle. Let us know what you think of this episode and help us
1:32.0	decide what future episode should look like. As always, I am your host, Nick Fratus, with me in the
1:38.5	studio, my beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees. Hello, everyone. And then of course, we have our
