Last week, Matt and Walter discussed the unique brand of zealotry that animates elected officials in Germany. Tonight, they’ll take a look at the Romanian Central Electoral Bureau’s decision to bar Călin Georgescu from the second round of the Eastern European country’s presidential election. Georgescu, a NATO skeptic who opposes further military aid to Ukraine, won the first round of the vote back in November, but the following month, the Constitutional Court annulled the results of that election.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was nominated to be the next director of the National Institutes of Health, appeared on Capitol Hill for his confirmation hearings. The Liberal Party elected its new leader, Mark Carney, who previously served as governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. And the Trump administration announced that it will reduce funding to universities that fail to crack down on students who criticize Israel.
Join Matt and Walter at 8:00 PM ET as they try to make sense of some of these headlines on another Monday night installment of America This Week.

"Criticizing Israel" is a tad glib, don't you think? Stoking public disorder, disrupting classrooms and campus life, taking over campus buildings, spreading propaganda, intimidating Jewish students or others who may disagree including by wearing masks, which are sinister; blocking bridges and arteries -- in an ambulance? tough luck- anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, anti you name it. In other words, guest revolutionaries. If you're a guest and throw food at the wall, get out.
Teutonic elites are willing to guide us into a better world. All concerned should review spectacular failures created by globalists. Ghandi said India would prefer to decide on its future without guidance. Today best intentions often fail as unintended consequences unfold. I can't recall anything the United Nations did well. The world run by these idiots is a nightmare.
