This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Lets go Brandon,
Victor Davis, Hanson is a senior
fellow at the Hoover Institution
and he joins us tonight,
thanks so much for coming on.
If you add this up, and we
presented specific examples, if
we had four hours, we could get
more comprehensive.
You are seeing the core
institutions of american life
destroyed by this one mandate,
which by itself, is a challenge,
an insult to american Liberty,
its going to render it
inoperable our hospitals, our
airlines, our police
departments, our fire
departments, our long term care
facilities
fill in the blanks.
What else is there
thats our society and none of
it is going to work very soon?
What is the point of this? I
wonder
I dont know
part of a lot of policies,
its not Tucker, Carlson, saying
this alone.
Barack Obama says the border is
unsustainable.
Larry summers, as the economic
agenda wont work.
Senators on the democratic side
said: Afghanistan is a disaster.
Its everybody saying, whats,
going on
weve, never seen anything like
it.
We have read about the Buchanan
Presidency and some of us lived
through Carter.
Is it incompetence
accidental cushion mark
Noncompost mental problems with
the president, or is it by
design anarchy nihilism that w
go to waste during the tragedy
of twenty twenty, to have an agenda that
doesnt pull on any of its items?
Fifty percent, but through the sheer
fear of this chaotic anarchic,
we are going to have a new
agenda that is socialist. Nobody
knows
they do know. One thing: Tucker
the academic world and the
abstract world is not just Pardo
Parlor Games,
critical race theory, as we rode
off as racism is necessary to
fight racism. Nobody would
believe that we thought
print money to get prosperity
or critical legal theory that
theres no no connection between
innate natural law and real law.
We said nobody would believe
that, and suddenly we woke up and
we see the district attorneys
are letting people go off
Scot free after felonies,
or we have zero interest at the
time that we have six percent annual
inflation
its turning to affect us.
There is nothing on the shelves
at Walmart.
Maybe target is not going to
have Christmas presents.
I dont want to walk in New York
at night.
The academic world has filtered
down to the concrete world under
this agenda and they are
really really frightened and
they are saying weve never seen
something like this before.
When they looked to these
institutions, you mentioned they
look at the military or
professional sports or
entertainment, or Hollywood or
Silicon Valley, or social media
or network news or Wall Street
or the corporate boardroom, and
they see what happened.
We dont recognize it anymore.
We have been asleep where they
are filtered into all these
institutions. With this agenda we
dont want and it doesnt work,
so they are in a panic and I
think Justin and Matt theres,
going to be a reckoning.
I think, with a very exiting
american communities on the
border or where I live, or soccer
moms mad about whats being
taught in schools, its not a
top down, woke revolution,
its a grassroots populist
revolution,
going to see it in the next
midterms. I think a lot of these
institutions are going to rue
the positions theyve taken and
the damage theyve done.
Looking back when
hospitals told people that they
couldnt hold the hands of their
parents or spouses or children
as they died because of Covid,
and no one pushed those people
out of the way and said no, its,
my parent
im going to hold their hand.
People put up with that.
I wonder if you can come back
if you can assert your value as
a human being, what youve
already allowed them to separate
you from your parents as they
die?
It seems, like I dont know.
Can we come back from this?
I hope so.
I believe thats whats great
about America.
We are built on a middle class
citizenry, pragmatic, practical
sense.
They are saying if our
leaders say no mask one mask
two masks
herd immunity,
no gain of function, research at
the virology lab.
They lost credibility
when they say theres, no such
thing as no natural immunity. I
think people are saying I want
to believe them, but I cant
believe them anymore:
im going to use common sense,
it is starting to coalesce and
its terrifying. The left
I dont, like ive, seen them ever
more terrified
people should
insist on common sense,
dont. Let them separate you from
your loved ones. In their final
moments,
each according to their.
