But the head of Hungary. Very tough, strong guy. Viktor Orban, did anybody ever hear him? Probably, you know, considered very powerful, very powerful within his country and outside of his country, not exactly loved by some of the European nations, because he does this thing. He didn’t allow millions of people to invade his country. He allowed nobody to invade the zero zero. He had nobody. So he doesn’t have crime and he doesn’t have the problems that they’re having in other countries where millions of people who are allowed to go in.

But they were interviewing him two weeks ago and they said, “What would you advise President Obama? The whole world seems to be exploding and imploding.”.

And he said “It’s very simple. He should immediately resign and they should replace him with President Trump, who kept the world safe.”

I didn’t vote for Trump in either 2016 or 2020 but if he runs against President Barack Obama? I don’t know, I’ll have to think about it.

    I think you’re going to be dealing with them on that level of engagement as long as you don’t correct it. And as long as they are, they’re gonna be subject to the same kinds of manipulation that they are now.

      You can’t really change someone who is unwilling to change.

        I don’t think that’s true. Our mentalities change throughout our entire lives because of events and information we never anticipated.

          That’s true for those of us willing to change. If you refuse to admit anything you’ve done is wrong and refuse to accept that any thought you’ve had is incorrect, how are you going to change? Those people exist, and their opinions won’t be swayed to academic arguments, but their votes still count as much as anyone’s.

            It doesn’t matter if you’re willing to change, the world changes you anyway, that’s what I’m saying. If you’re talking about persuading people, that’s a question of technique. I’m not gonna pretend I’m great at that, I have a pretty short temper, but there are ways.
