victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institute and a smart man.eful to have them on the show. thanks for coming on. what's the message that the democratic party is trying to sell to the country right now? >> i think the common theme that you outlined, tucker, they say these things that aren't true whether it's michelle obama talking about black lives being indiscriminately almost daily killed on the street or and andrew cuomo with the worst record of the virus and then breaking as if it was the best because there is no media the way we know it. nbc, abc, the network news, cbn, msnbc, pbs, the progressive movement and the general democratic party. when he says this, he knows no one's going to challenge him so it emboldens him. the second thing was all these people have one thing in common, tucker. they are never subject to the consequences of their ideology. it's easy for bernie sanders to say he's for no avail. because he has three homes. they are not going -- people aren't going to show up, criminals, hijack him when he walks out of his lakeside
