we have one great guest tonight victor davis hanson, he and i, full hour. i know you will love it.ore we get to victor. how about we talk about the constitution a little bit as applies to the current events. what do we do about a situation where a president of united states his appointed attorney general, the direct or of fbi, the u.s. attorney also appointed by the president of the united states, and special counsel appointed by the attorney general of the united states, what do we do as a country if they stonewall the house of representatives majority of whom are republicans? what do we do as a country if the national archives, also part of the executive branch, is also stonewalling the republicans? in other words, what to we do if separation of powers is violated by the executive branch. and the executive branch is only body we think, that can enforce the law. it is the executive. we have reached this point. we have most dangerous fbi today since history of the fbi. we have most dangerous department of justice since it was founded by grant in 1870. we have the most dangerous att

vickvictor davis hanson, the centralization of everything. do the centralizing get power, they get rich, and the rest of us in one way or the other,dire we're serving theirre interestst, correct point. that is unde ? e of mao and associates, we have remember that fidel castro or the pierre brothers back. >> usually these revolutions or takeovers of society come from upper middle class, and often a rivalry among each other they feel somehow their genius was not appreciated or they were the true voice of the so-called people. they take power. it is usually a top-down phenomenon, they never ever want to live the lives they advocate and insist on for others. mark: i note here. lennon did not come out of poverty or mao, castro did not come out of poverty, they all meet your definition. upper middle class to middle class. i would say that is pretty. the rule rather than the exception. in united states the same them. >> i work on the stanford campus, a strange phenomenon is free-speech area and the posters, radical of the antifa blm category, you wa

victor davis hanson joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. wouldn't it be nice to see somebody pay some price for ineptitude and indifference? >> yeah, it would. he's jumped the proverbial shark. his on qualifications for the job were his identity politics credentials and the fact that he went to harvard and oxford and the media and the bicoastal elite gagaed over him. otherwise, he had the un-midas touch. everything he's touched, whether it was the port crowding at our major ports or the train robbing of trains going in to the ports or these four accidents where airliners crashed on the southwest implosion or the meltdown over the season with the airline or the rail cars. everything he ignores or offers platitudes. how ironic that on the eve or right in the midst of this tragedy in east palestine of this white working class tiny community with an income average of about $45,000, he was lecturing the nation that white hard hats don't look like the community that they are working in. that's not true. he's pandering and ignorant and inaccurate.

but he was clear on one thing i'm going to reveal before we're joined by victor davis hanson. >> that's next. what a privilege it is for you. to have me here this evening. ladies and gentlemen, gloria, i'm going to get them out tonight. we get to learn to get along, for god's sake. get they apologized. , now. and finally, dear abc. hi, i'm mike huckabee, former governor of arkansas. and i'm here today to tell you about a hidden health crisis currently affecting nearly every american sleep deprivation. and that's why you need to know about relaxium sleep. you see getting a good night's sleep helps support a healthy immune system, helps maintain healthy blood pressure, healthy cardiovascular system. thankfully, relaxium sleeps formula is clinically proven to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up feeling refreshed. >> when i take relaxium sleep, i sleep better than i have in years. i wake up feeling alert like i've had the best night's sleep call today and get your very own risk free bottle of relaxium sleep. >> take control of your health, stop struggling with restle

joining me now is richard davis hanson and ned ryan. what do you make of this biden's attempt to pivot this populist flourish. almost towards bending towards america's first populism when we know he's global at heart. >> again, lie is a lie and he's got 50-year of being a liar. it is stupid meaning and hopes that nobody is really paying attention and suspend your disbelieve and don't believer your lying eyes and listen to what i had to say when in fact all of his actions pointed to the opposite. i think he's trying to obviously stealing america's first populism as they go into the 2024 presidential. everyday the american people are sold out on trade and foreign policy and immigration. it is one of those things where he talked about some of the public state of the -- safety. you think of the public safety and trust of the american people at large being sold out everyday. at one point he talked about accountability for police, at some point you would think there is accountability for our leaders in d.c. who everyday are violating the trus

joining us, victor davis hanson.his story is bizarre to me because it doesn't seem like this is an anomaly. it only seems to be an anomaly because someone saw the balloon. >> i think there are two stories, you mentioned the act of humiliation. they are sending a message to taiwan and japan saying this is your ally? we send a balloon through their continent and they don't do anything? one of the first things that happened with the biden administration, they were humiliate by the chinese in anchorage, alaska. they destroyed drones in international waters of ours? 2001 they forced down and rammed a spy plane. they confiscated the plane. in their way of thinking our relationship is asymmetrical and they can do whatever they want. and this administration could have taken this thing down as it approached our air space or water space over t over the ovee aleutians. people points out, well, it has the capacity of two buses, so they must be experimenting with a big payload and it could have weapons significance. maybe it can

joining me now is victor davis hanson, senior fellow, and jason chaffetz. news can you better, we have so much to talk about. this is an insane day. victor, it is beyond what i just laid out in the angle. the chinese have the biden family over their knee at this point, don't they? under this, over their knee, whatever analogy you want to use. >> i thought the press conference from the pentagon was for real because they admitted to us that it wasn't just a weather balloon, it was for surveillance. second, they've known about it for some time. third, it's a violation of u.s. aerospace. fourth, it's a violation of international law. but it doesn't pose a threat. everybody says we aren't afraid it's going to fall in us, we want to know if the terrence is going to be weakening by this type of surveillance and some quarters say it's as good as the satellite surveillance. maybe -- also come up beside the point they might be probing us to see what our response is but they don't look at our mag amenity as kind as to be reciprocated. they are looking at as weakness t

fellow victor davis hanson. >> i think biden has confused the american people.ing allies and encouraging for chinese. they there is vulnerability and think that perception as vulnerability. we know the chinese have been with these sophisticated balloons for years and letting those own in ukraine with balloons and radar. so it wasn't like we weren't prepared for it. that is a question how vulnerable we really are. >> president biden sang yesterday, there has been no increase in the number of objects in our sky. just that radar capabilities have increased, ashley, todd. >> todd: alexandria hoff, thank you at no point in the story has michael's arts and crafts will be a key player in everything we are doing. biden's statement, he said nothing. he could have said nothing we can a half ago. so that is p 1 but part 2, the fact that we don't know is beyond concerning. how can we the greatest country in the world still not know what the heck we shot down? what is going on in this white house? what is going on the top brass of our military they can't figure this out? you

i mean, there's a great article that came out by vick or to have davis hand concern victor davis hansonnks it is the prelude to a third world war. these are really scary kind of articles to read as a mother with kids. and i just, you know -- pete: real estate is -- reality is donald trump's still trying to block ron desantis out. it's not a fore gone conclusion desantis will announce, but if he does, that's when the republican primary starts. rachel: and this op thetic will be front and center -- topic. pete: by the way, we've talked a lot about the southern border. we know our northern border is porous, but a bunch of republican representatives are launching the northern border security caucus, and canadian prime minister justin justin trudeau is expected to press biden on the new york/quebec board. st the only a matter of time that if the southern border became difficult to traverse, you might start trying to come in through canada. rachel: yeah, absolutely. here is representative fallon from texas talking about how there are now two fronts on the border crisis. if. >> well, joe biden
