Did you know that Helmut Kohl, the German Chancellor (1982-99), implemented a plan to deport Turkish immigrant back to Türkiye?

Mr. Elon Musk & Vice Pres. JD Vance have endorsed the AfD - Germany's anti-immigrant, Islamophobic, far-right party. And although the AfD commands 20% of the German vote, other parties refuse to form a coalition government with it.

In this interview, I discuss the following with my guest:
►Germany's economic headwinds and growing budget challenges
►the rise of the AfD in German elections
►Why is the AfD being investigated by German authorities?
►What is JAfD?
►How Germany's unification was more like an acquisition than a merger
►For Germans, does the Berlin Wall still exist?
►Roots of racism in East Germany compared to West Germany
►Was the post-WWII de-Nazification a success?
►What is PEGIDA?
►Which ethnic groups commit the most crime in Germany?
►Who is Gerhard Rex Lauck?
►How did America export Nazi propaganda back to Germany?
►What is Ausländer?
►What was Helmut Kohl's plan for exporting Turks?
►Why were Turks called "guest" workers?
►What is Almanci?
