And I'll add, you're even hearing some saying that French authorities are inviting civil war here.

Not much from those on the left, but those on the right are speaking out loudly. So on Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted, «Je suis Marine. I am Marine». Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, leader of the far-right League Party, called the ruling a «declaration of war by Brussels», meaning the European Union establishment.

Populist party leaders in the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, all of them are characterizing this as an attempt to stymie the success that the right has been experiencing across Europe. Many are comparing it to Colin Georgescu of Romania. He's another popular right-wing presidential candidate who a court just banned from running.

Well, you know, on Saturday, we saw over 500 protests worldwide, everywhere from Australia to Germany to Chicago. And these turnouts were pretty mixed, I would say. You know, on one hand, in Michigan, you had what looked like... you know, fairly pitiful, small crowds, gray haired, maybe people in their 60s and 70s.
