Chimping Out

from The American Mind Podcast · host The Claremont Institute

For the second time in recorded primatology, a civil war has been observed between chimpanzees. This week, the guys get a little philosophical about the unique status of mankind as a political animal and the unlikelihood that we have much to learn from the chimps—progressive optimism and cash grabs notwitstanding. Meanwhile, Viktor Orbán lost the Hungarian election to Péter Magyar, a result misinterpreted by the Left as a pro-immigration, anti-nationalist repudiation of conservatism globally. What's really going on in Hungary, and what does it mean for us at home?Recommended:These Chimps Began the Bloodiest ‘War’ on Record. No One Knows Why.Orbán Is Gone. His Style of Politics Isn’t.Watch with video on Youtube This is a public episode.
