joining me victor davis hanson. i think you and i talked about this a long time ago.h, why would anyone want to work with you or be like you? then china walks in. >> the operative word in the diplomats on us is strength. they are a blood and soil nation and playing the victim of a liberal democracy that is racist because they are channelling antifa and blm and this country is 30 trillion dollars in debt. they have 800 bases all over the world. they are falling part inside. they are rioting and can't deal with the virus. this makes us look weak. they are doing what we never wanted -- we never wanted russia to be an ally of china. this russian collusion hoax and paranoid russian under every bed. we are pussing russia and china together and they are telling everybody, the united states is a long way away. they are disentgrating. do you want to go us against us or join us. we are the rising sun and they are the setting sun. what japan did in the 1930s when we were broken in the depression and isolation. >> laura: we called it about the russia and china alliance. >> [speak

coming on tonight to make sense of it, in order russia, texas, victor davis hanson the wisest personofessor, thank you for coming on. the first to russia, the obsession isn't the defense of putin's regime or anything like it, but why the focus of the ratline's focus on russia? >> i don't know it's about all i did to gratuitously call it bad. there is no standard putin has not killed 20 million people like the communist predecessors, he's not the communist party in china that has the blood of 70 million people on their hands. 1 million people in camps and we could go on and on with north koreans, the regime in cuba. there is no standard by which you single out somebody and the other but it reminds me that we are missing what hemi kissinger told us 40 years ago and he told us we don't want china a better friend to russia then each one to us because we actually do have some common interest with putin. we are wary of islamic terrorism and we do not want china to run the world. we along with the russia and india can check china if we do not throw away the card, talker. at the comes out of

victor davis hanson, great to have you on board. thank you, sir. >> thank you for having me. >> meantime, the white house briefing is underway. so far the issue of the border has not yet come up. florida senator marco rubio out with a blistering statement blaming the biden administration for creating a crisis there. he will join us. a shocking plot twist. a massage parlor shooting that left eight people dead. why the officials believe the suspect may have been triggered by sex addiction. former homicide detective ted williams is next on that. so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. cell phone repair. did you know liberty mutual customizes yo

joining me now is victor davis hanson, hoover institution senior fellow. -- i was there and it was quiet when i was there but they were barricades. there was lots of tables and memorials and so forth. a lot of graffiti saying f the police and that kind of stuff as well but why should we be tolerating another autonomous zone? >> because there's a threat of violence and that overshadow the trial itself. all americans believe that no person who was unarmed, even if they are passably resistant should die in police custody. the prosecution will show that eight minute video again. minute one, two, three, if he stopped he would be alive. the defense will call on the long rap sheet. committing a felony. probably on high levels of drugs. the autopsies may have been wrong. if you look at an earlier tape, the police officers were exasperated. between those two positions, there is an abyss. acquittal, manslaughter, second or third degree murder? the problem is if the trial had been held the first six months i think he probably would've faced a severe, sure murder char

joining me now, victor davis hanson, senior fellow. what color band-aid do you grab for in the cabinet, that corner cabinet in your kitchen, i know that's where you store them. do you make a conscious effort to pick that flesh-colored band-aid or do you go to the closet? how did we arrive here? >> i think a lot of people apparently have too much time on their hands and they are too pampered. i think they feel it is not bullying. i think when they talk about mccarthy, they are said that he served the right instead of the left. people stayed away from the public, they didn't get their views cross-examined, they nurse their wounds, they exaggerated their grievances and then they got out and they didn't get out and dispel the stereotypes. i feel in the nation, an african-american legal scholar said i don't want to go out there because i would have to meet white people again and they have an approved any -- i would he know if he hasn't talked any of them? facebook and twitter and the internet is kind of like an electric guillotine. it's ins

jillian: victor davis hanson from the hoover institution says keeping troops in the capital is a primemple of democrats refusing to let the crisis go to waste. >> there are more troops protecting washington after defeating bull run in 1861. the confederate general's attempted take washington in 1864. there are more troops there now than we used to put down 40,000 bonus marchers in 1932. it is when rahm emanuel called in 2008 never been serious crisis go to waste, trying to push through obamacare, what gavin newsom said when he locked down the state of california, never let a crisis go to waste if you want a more progressive capital, what hillary clinton said in april when she said this quarantine will allow us -- ratified throughout the country. that is what it is about. todd: muriel bowser so she does not know why the additional forces have been requested. jillian: the new bombshell report claims top advisers to governor cuomo altered a report on new york nursing home death. todd: one of the when accusing cuomo sexual-harassment speaks out. carley shimkus joins us live with more. >> r

victor davis hanson with the hoover institution, senior fellow, victor, don't you get the sense thatt even going to be 15 years the slow the spread. there can never be another bit of virus anywhere in the world before we get our freedom back if these people have their way. your reaction? >> i'm reminded of general george s. patton's admonition that americans should never be captive of their fears. we can think of all sorts of bad things but you're right. the science shows weaver had a dramatic increase in vaccinations. we'll be up to 80 million. we probably have a hundred million people that haven't been tested but modeled that they do have antibodies. we have 30 million proven cases. we're getting closer and closer and these are scientists so they have an obligation to tell us that because we're on pretty thin ice, laura. we've had public officials who have been hypocritical about the application of the quarantine. we had dr. fauci's noble lie theory that he sort of lied about the utility of masks so we wouldn't go out and drain the supply. on herd immunity so we wouldn't let down o

if victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution, he joins us now.nks so much for coming on -- i was in washington for 9/11 when the plague commandeered by al qaeda hits the pentagon -- there was no security response like this, nothing even close. it seems like congress has saved this response for american citizens, they seem to fear american citizens more than they fear al qaeda. >> they do and we look historically, there are more troops than protected washington after the defeat at bull run, more after jubal early the confederate general attempted to take washington in 1864, there are more troops now than when we used to put down 40,000 marchers in 1942, a week of rioting after the tragic death of martin luther king in 13 people died in washington, a thousand were injured, there are more troops there now and why are there? we haven't heard one word from the 280 generals and national security officials who said don't dare bring one federal soldier in one the st. john's church was torched and there was a threat in the white house, this is a political

coming on tonight to make some sense of this interview, russia, and taxes is victor davis hanson, theon we know. first to russia, this is not a defense of the regime, why the relentless focus on russia? >> it's always a bad idea to call a killer the head of state with 7,000 deliverable nuclear weapons. there is no standard, vladimir putin hasn't killed 20 million people likee his communist predecessors. it's not the communist party in china that has the blood of 7 million people on their hands. we could go on and on with the north koreans, there is no standard byyo which you single t somebody and not the other. it reminds me, we are missing what henry kissinger told us 40 years ago, realpolitik, we don't want china to be a better friend to russia than they are to us, we actually do have some common interest with vladimir putin. we are both wary of islamic terrorism and we don't want china to run the world and we along with the russians and india can check china if we don't throw away that card. this anger comes out of the russia collusion hoax but even earlier, they came b into power

joining me now, victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. welcome to you, victor, how are you? >> very good. tell me your assessment of this. it looks like seven was the magic number. that so many allegations it took . what is your perspective? >> you're right, it's not symmetrical so the word cancel culture is a misnomer. by that i mean it's asymmetrical . the left-field that if a conservative, if you or me or your audience says something that can be interpreted, contextualizes a liberal, that' a window into our dark soul int confirmation of what they alway said. if somebody is on the left, the have woke insurance they get time and time again it's a mistake, it's a carelessness, but it doesn't cancel their existence or their career because they believe in cosmic guess cosmic morality, they lov humanity, but they don't care too much. if you are right on abortion or trying to change, you can treat the people on your staff in a different way but the expectation is always going to be an exemption for you because you're anointed can be a good per

joining us now, victor davis hanson. senior fellow.se what color band-aid do you grab for in the cabinet, that corner cabinet in your kitchen? i know that's where you store them. do you make a conscious effort to pick that flesh-colored band-aid or do you go with the closest? how did we get here? how did we arrive here? >> a lot of people apparently have too much time in their hands. i think they feel that it's not bullying or smearing or cancel culture, they are so morally superior at that any means justify their agenda. i do not think they even object -- when we say they are mccarthy, i do not think they object that the means, it's just they are mad that it serves the right than the left. we talk about the lock down more, but it was a false multiplier. people stayed away from the public, they didn't get their views cross-examined. they nurse their wounds, they exaggerated their grievances. they got out and they didn't get out with the stereotypes. the african-american legal scholars said i do not want to go out there b
