mike huckabee, victor davis hanson from the hoover institution. what does the media's excusing of "the new york times" say about the direction that supposedly objective journalism is going? >> it just says that journalism is dead. there isn't a practice of journalism for the most part, and they've put every legitimate news organization on the hook. but instead of trying to push back against the times, they are just going ahead and covering for them and it's just disastrous. think it will help donald trump in his reelection in a substantial way. >> laura: what they do as they throw out the most outrageous allegations and let them hang out there. then, that still informs the entire days, weeks, news events and people still jump off and say, as an asterisk next to his name. this is meant to intimidate and they are trying to get it -- they are trying to get him on the bench and try to attack others coming down the pike. >> i think it's a revolutionary movement and its anti-constitutional. they are saying to america you can elect your president that th

joining me now, victor davis hanson. can we count on a retraction here? >> not really.because the progressive left believes, we are told, and the scientific method there's no more correlation between the trump rally and violence than there is eclipses or the high tides and violence. it's just a methodology to demonize trump and it's ironic too, laura, because the two democratic candidates such as joe biden and cory booker both promised they would like to beat up from, use verdict on my physical violence. if they are running for president of the united states. you know if we walked out with elizabeth warren hat, no one would touch us. we put on a red hat, we know it's going to happen, so it's ironic all the way around. >> shannon: and we're still -- people like jussie smollett and then it just becomes a punch line and it doesn't matter. he will probably go on and get another good acting job in his career will go on. it will be forgotten about. the covington -- it will get forgotten about and meanwhile, trump will be painted as the guy who's the angry seething guy and mea

victor davis hanson used a term, a latin term for benefits. elizabeth warren benefits the most.nk this is going to be extremely damaging to joe biden because people have forgotten about his son and the grafting with china and the ukraine and all of a sudden that is front and center. you can talk about this allegation against the president without talking about that. it is bad for him but other democrats, elizabeth warren is the head of that and there are others as well. who benefits also is the president because this is such a flimsy, such a lame, such a week accusation. it will galvanize republicans and others who support the president around him. heather: will be a very interesting day like yesterday wasn't. thank you very much for joining us, appreciate it. 19 minutes after the top of the our. and extreme wealth tax, with jeff bezos taking the brunt of it, that is the plan from bernie sanders. >> a corrupt political system which allows billionaires to buy elections. >> billionaires get huge tax breaks, tax breaks for billionaires. heather: carly shimkus has reaction to the la

victor davis hanson is a senior fellow and joins us.rofessor, does it worry you that the biggest american corporation can work against one of our constitutionally protected rights in the left applauds? do you think the left for the plot of walmart made it harder for people to vote or were tried by a jury, do you think that was a good thing? >> i am worried about it because we have all these constitutional protected rights, the right to free speech and the right to bear arms in the second amendment but if you can't actually actualize them they don't mean much. i'm a professor and if i go on campus and teach a class or give a lecture and i criticize partial-birth abortion or climate change, i'm going to have a problem. i won't have full rights of free speech and people -- if they can't go to a rural walmart and buy ammunition for a legal gun to protect their families than they don't have full use of the second amendment. the problem i think tucker is that walmart told us, and i'm speaking as a rural american, that what damage we did to lo

victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institute. jessica tarlov, fox news contributor. good evening, all. governor, it's awesome. >> i've got to tell you, ed, if we are going to play whether we will be the flintstones or the chat sins, i will be the jetsons but i did want i've got a solution for the democrats. for the next ten years, which according to some of them is the last ten years of humanity, here is how we do it. half the country, the liberals, live without, cars, airplanes, any oil, which means without any plastics. they get rid of it all. those of us who are conservative, we eat ribeyes, we drive cars, we flying planes, we have motorboats. after ten years, let's see which half of america is happier. and we decide whether we are going to go with his green your deal. honestly, that's the way we should approach it. >> ed: let's get jessica in here. jessica, is it easy to mock some of these positions that have gone so far left or do you honestly believe that your party is ahead of the curve on this and conservatives are going

also victor davis hanson, senior fellow at hoover institution. you didn't get to speak at the news conference to what your reaction today? we were going to impeach the president. they thought the mueller report was going to find it. the mueller report comes out and says there was no collusion and instead of just shutting it down and moving on to fixing the problems they had to find something else and so they've just been on this witch hunt. we will see the facts, nancy pelosi didn't even wait for the facts. and so she. look at what they are trying to do right now. nancy pelosi spends more time bringing up bill to the floor to name a post office than she does to start an impeachment proceeding against the president of the united states. it's reckless, irresponsible and an abdication of the constitutional duty that impeachment is. >> laura: and wesley usmca vote? the trade agreement -- >> the prices at the border, the drug prices. >> laura: victor, this is what nancy pelosi said today before she announced the inquiry. >> the president called me thi
