jesse: joining me, victor davis hanson. elevating something as innis call as the -- something as miniscule as white supremacists? is it so americans don't pay attention to the major threats? >> i think that's it. the old strategy that donald trump was the source of all evil. he's not you of the picture, he can't even communicate with us on social media. other font was we are in a pandemic and we have to borrow over $30 trillion. we are getting out of the crisis so attention is turn together border and critical race theory and those don't poll well. i'm curious. we mad 120 days -- we had 120 days of damage and 25 dead in the summer of 2020. we had james hodge son trying to take out the republicans playing baseball. >> the media echos the threat from white supremacists. they ask questions about the white house cat. we'll keep you posted on the cat situation. but we have to run. victor davis hanson, thank you so much. is live tv coming back to tv? i hope so. dan abrams steps into "watters' world" to answer that question. anoth

victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution and he joins us.uch for coming on. >> the optics are all bad. the citizens of the world, they look at massive illegal immigration from mexico and especially when people are poor and don't know english. and we expect these at the polls. they probably flipped colorado, and they are committed to this policy, and the only thing that if i couldn't use the vernacular was screwed up they used a thousand or maybe a half million. they didn't think in the fiscal year that we were going to get 2 million people, all the things they demagogue, and a company, can unaccompanied needs of adults, cages, and they don't thknow what to do because they like the idea that they use the mass influx dates didn't think that media could get a handle on it and it's so huge that they can. i think they do it in a very cynical fashion. they believe a lot of links about joe biden's cognitive abilities, mma from the vice president's office and it's a toxic political situation because it's self-created. whatever it they say is going t

victor davis hanson pulls back the curtain on the left latest gaslighting. speaking of crime, kamala harris' board of trade didn't include a single mention of the attic to control activity around the border. more on that, next. ♪ ♪ >> ben: chicago is no stranger to violence, but the city is on track for one of its bloodiest years and decades. just this past weekend, there were six killed and 74 wounded in shootings. one of the victims was a 14-year-old girl. the crime epidemic spread to a "new york times" iconic times square where a tourist, and active-duty u.s. marine, was hit by stray bullets. it's a second shooting in times square and just two months. most americans, it is obvious who to blame. democrats who have got into their -- and embrace blm. realizing this, democrats have conjured up new scapegoats for the rise in crime. >> they are very good at saying on talking points of who says deep on the place but the truth is, they defunded the police. speak at the american rescue plan, state and local funding, something that was supported by the president, b

joining me now, victor davis hanson.based on what we're watching here in this presidency. >> yeah, both can be a bipartisan endeavor. people say does he seem frail when he's on the steps of air force one? yes. does he have moments that he freezes? yes. does he say things that are cab sword like no vaccinations until he came into afternoon or officer sicknick that was killed by a trump supporter that we know is untrue. and the g-7 chairman called on a member of south africa that he called upon. does he have people to shepherd him around at press conferences? does he say i'm note supposed to do this or they won't let me do this like he's admitting that he's under custodial ship. it's clear that he's not traveling, not out in a way that barack obama was or bill clinton was or donald trump and george w. bush? i'd say yes. so there's all of these signs. it's very ironic. you can see, martha, the left told us going back to reagan that he had cognitive problems, this is terrible. you have to hold the president accountable. and

. >> victor davis hanson and joe concha are with us. >> the president says 300 million shots have been administered. he also says nationwide deaths from covid are know down by over 90%. he's promising that the virus is in retreat right now and america is surging back. he promised "a summer of joy and freedom." meanwhile, the chinese government today is calling for an investigation u.s. government bio labs, mostly to distract from the evidence pointing to the wuhan lab leak. the foreign ministry making bold accusations against the united states. some in the u.s. have chosen to ignore the report put forward and hyping up the lab leak theory and politicizing the origin-tracing issue. this constitutes an affront to the w.h.o. led origin tracing study. biden's national security team meanwhile says the investigation into the origin cannot be conducted by the u.s. alone. it has to be done with other governments. take a listen to jake sullivan. >> the international community needs access to china to get that initial data that will tell us the most about where this virus came from and how it en

victor davis hanson is here with us. so, i mean, this is a joke.last week. no one knows who won. all of a sudden 150,000 ballots just appeared out of nowhere. i don't know, it seems like everything the democrats are in charge of, whether it's the border, the energy sector, elections, anything they are in charge of it just falls apart. victor? your thoughts. >> yeah. i think there is a direct proportion, jesse, between the unpopularity of their issues and their emphasis on changing voter registration balloting. here in california, nobody cares because we are a blue state in a national election that's never close. nobody notices that, for example, in the last national election we had, i think, 85,000 dmv ballots, motor ballots 2k50u78 indicated. evan got 2. we had 100,000 ballots thrown out. we had stanford university a very liberal place a law school did a very comprehensive study and said right in the middle of the covid epidemic if you want to go to mail and early balloting these are the problems you are going to have. we didn't listen to them. jo

joining me now victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institute.twilight zone. and we're not, we're in real life. give us your take on the nature of the absurdity of the nature of what is happening here to the senator. >> yeah, i think joe manchin is looking beyond just his own west virginia constituency. i think he thinks we are nearing, i guess what he would would call it, tammy, peak weekendism, which when everything is racism nothing is racism. you search racism robots, gluten free racist. climate. everyone knows that's absurd. yet, the left -- this revolution we are in was never grassroots. it was never bottom up. it wasn't some 60's guys with a megaphone yelling about the man or the establishment. this was the establishment. this is the people with the money. silicon valley, the corporate board room. academia. the regular media, professional sports. these are very influential powerful people but they have no popular support. so they cannot allow the people to have these narratives. joe manchin knows that now. he knows there is no support for

and victor davis hanson and an author-film maker. carol, what message are we sending to young african-american boys and girls with biden's message today? >> it's a message of hopelessness and it really encourages them to think of themselves as victims. the millions of blacks like myself who came out of poverty, who have been successful, we were successful because we believed in america, the american dream. i watched systemic racism in america erode with the passage of three major civil rights bills. i was able to take advantage of the opportunities that were created. what we have today is a narrative that weakens america ever the world. our foreign enemies must celebrate what is taking place because we are destroying ourselves from within. for black american there is nothing but empty promises. i believe this focus on critical race theory is to detract from the fact that the democrat's policies over 60 years have failed. so they put the blame on white america and tell black american that racism is permanent. there is nothing you can

victor davis hanson one of the few people smart enough to see what this means.honored to have him here tonight. what should we take from this? >> well it's characteristic of all bureaucracies when they can't solve a problem they go to the triviality as if they have done something. look at the federal reserve. we may have 6 to 7% inflation right now. we have a 2.8 mortgage rate. that's a gap. they are looking at the pronoun and we have a 30deficit. they don't have a clue how to handle that, but they want to focus on this trivia. it's characteristic of the left. they always want to be a culture revolutionary. they want to go back in the past and cancel people out and rename streets and buildings and universities and topple statues and change the language. that's what the soviet union did. the biden administration believes after 1,000 years. usage they have invented new words that nobody thought. -- of. it's the beginning of paradise. it's giving an answer for a question that doesn't exist or a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. it's like the smollett syndr

victor davis hanson is one of the few people we know that smart enough to see what this really means.red to have him. what should we take from this? >> i think it's characteristic of all bureaucracies that when they can't solve excellent essential problem they always go to the triviality as if they've done something. because we have 2.8 mortgage rates, that's a gap. they are looking at pronouns and the same thing is true with the omb. we have a trillion dollar deficit, they will have a clue how to handle that. they do want to focus on the trivia and it's also characteristic i think tucker of the left. they always want to be a cultural revolutionary but they want to go back in the posten cancel people out and rename streets and buildings and topple statues and change the language, and i think in the present they are starting in year is zero and we go in the future. at the biden administration believes that after a thousand years of usage in the english language, they and their infinite unions have been invented new words that nobody ever thought of and therefore this is the beginning o

jillian: joining us is victor davis hanson, senior fellow. the ellis island of 2021. tee off on that for a moment. >> every element of that comparison was pathetic. ellis island everybody came legally, 1890 to 1924 it was legal legal and they came, they were audited, they were authenticated, people gave them health checks. people coming across the rio grande especially el paso in the state of texas are coming for the most part illegally. we don't have any idea in the middle of a pandemic if they have been vaccinated, probably not if they are active carriersn 5000 customs and border patrol officers have been infected. they were diverse in ellis island, came from all over the world, this is one group of spanish-speaking people. it is not diverse like ellis island. they came with the expectation to assimilate rapidly. that's not the message we are giving these immigrants we are telling them they are part of our tribal identity. and they came -- people forget about ellis island. it was measured.re 5 or 6000, over that 36 year period there was about 12,000, 12 million peop
