truth i will be right back flexible in the back america i was an honor and a pleasure to have victor davis hansonry great intellectual. listen to look like to hide unless they are attacking the united states and he is certainly not one of them. you know victor davis hanson wrote a book on it. many years ago cited by then the late democratic governor of colorado. richard lambert. i don't feel we have democrats like that anymore. what's happening on the border, they and humanity, the mayhem, the effects on all aspects of american society. this is an accident, is it fair? let us know it is deliberate. the message has gone out. it's not just to latin america it is all over the world. not only allowed to come here illegally but this administration want you too. i called him a racist advocates of the current replacement theory advocates of the open borders have written books they're not shy about a probleme demography is destiny their agenda does not appeal to people that crime on foreign policy, inflation of the dead new constituents release they want to grow government the other problem with mexico.

but let's pray to god that victor davis hanson is right.the last thing we need or wantsn is an all out war. i think we can avoid it. trump through that, i hope we continue that strategy. >> would it be wise to take out the refineries? victor davis hanson if weo that get to that, we're going to have to, but i think it's much better t be quietloud and carry a club than loud with a twig. and the louder w e are, the more g predictable we are, the closer we're going to get to war. >> if you just keep victor and i think he should be disproportionate. disproportionate, and then that will stop i t. weak >> but he's too loud and he'san too weak and he's too predictable, and that's predictadangerous. that's the problem of deterrence and nobody respects them. and china is going to keep buyingchep iranian oil anyway.o. but i appreciate you both. thank you. when we come back, possible terrorists are crossing the southern border of our country. biden says there's nothing more that he can do to stop them. that is a lie. we'll explain. we'll check in with

trump also took out victor davis hanson, sola money. i don't want america in a war. we do have new military sophisticated military technology where we can push a button in the united states and with pinpoint accuracy at any darn target we want inside iran, can't we? >> we can. that's why iran knows that. generally in history if you were perceived that you would do anything for peace, you will guarantee a war. it's predictable that our response is scripted. we say three things. first we say we are going to respond to the time and plays of our choosing. we are tired of that. second we say while iran has supplied these surrogates we don't have any direct evidence. and third we want to avoid a war. that's all nice things. but the message they take from that is that there is a magic number that we haven't reached yet. is it 50, 100? we will try 150. let's try to hundred text. is at six dead, eight dead, 50 wounded? they keep upping it to see where they have to pull back for a while. deterrents are really hard to achieve and it's easy to throw away. when they came in, dona

joining us now victor davis hanson hoover institution senior fellow., i have always stood by the view that anyone involved in criminal activity, violent activity should be held accountable. doesn't matter what you believe in or who you are. exactly how would you describe what they are doing here at this point? >> on the larger picture i think their philosophy is to save democracy from donald trump we have to first destroy it ourselves. and that's what they are doing. because almost everything they told us -- i mean it was a buffoonish right. it was not an armed insurrection. nobody had a weapon inside the capitol. the only person who died violently ashley babbitt unarnold military veteran. they didn't give us the details of her death for months. they told us officer sicknick died violently he didn't. they said five other officers died as a result. that was not true. they didn't tell us about the informs. matthew rosenberg pulitzer prize winner from the "new york times" said they were all over there then there was this crime about federal property they

and there's some brilliant minds who you obviously talk to, victor davis hanson is one of them.been reading his work. others as well, shelby steele and the like who have been saying these ideas inevitably lead us to, you know, a view of the world through the lens are of victimhood and through the kind of dei rhetoric that we're with familiar with now within the corporate world. that's something that comes out of this experience. and it's not just -- it's a very convenient thing to say that, you know, these are college students, they go through periods of radicalism, we've seen it historically and then they get out into the real world and they have a mortgage and they start paying taxes and they change their minds about things. that's not what we're seeing happen. instead what we're seeing is that this radicalism is following them. it's seeded in their brains through these institutions, and then it's affecting the way we live our public lives in ways that trickle down and that are affecting every different aspect including, of course, teachers and public institutions today who ar

you know victor davis hanson, he has a few names, we kind of tease him about it.say her last name. >> well don't pop your achilles tendon whatever you do. but i have to get this story. there's a secularization happening across society. you heard it with rapinoe, now even christmas is being secular iced. according to wisconsin right now, that's an organization, a city administrator reminded workers that not everyone celebrates christmas. so departments should row train from using religious decorations or those solely associated with christmas such as red and green colors when decorating in public spaces within city buildings she suggests some neutral inclusive decorations like snowflakes, snow people, or festive lighting, laura. this is quite a doozy. i wonder, is she concerned about those who don't celebrate flag day or kwanzaa? this is only dragged out, this kind of exclusion area stuff, when christmas rolls around >> laura: i think they should try that in new orleans taking christmas out of everything. that wouldn't go over in new orleans. >> it's a federal holi

steven miller, discuss the somewhat with victor davis hanson last night. replacement theory this is replacement reality. marxists and other leftists on college campuses professors have written about this. they condemn the white europeans for settling this country. on that white europeans are actually the illegal aliens and every other person in the world particularly in our hemisphere who wishes to come to the united states are the indigenous people. so why do biden, the democrats and the media pretend they're not doing what they are doing? if they are doing something else to the mind explaining it to us? because i cannot even think of another rationale for allowing over 10 million foreigners in this country. most of whom are not vetted and that many of whom are dangerous for. >> mark, once again the events t exactly the right question. is there another explanation? of course there is not another expedition if there was they would be saying they be saying no, we have a very straightforward reason for releasing on demand any illegal alien who shows up in ou

and victor davis hanson senior fellow at the hoover institution.is, you are one of the big reasons why gay's plagiarism was exposed and this is a win that she is out of this position. there is so much more to be discussed and to be rooted out here. is there not? >> yeah. that's right. certainly this was my initial goal to topple president gay from the presidency of harvard. but harvard has to go much further. harvard needs to abolish its dei programs. needs to put a permanent end to racist admission system. it needs to pledge institutional neutrality on controversial political issues. and it needs to diversify the faculty not on skin color but on philosophy, on political belief, on viewpoints. that's really what harvard needs to do to start balancing the institution. our reporting on claudine gay's plagiarism on dei empire and absolutely botched handling of the campus anti-semitism controversy shows that the institutions are weak. their ideology is a failure. and we're just getting started in this campaign for reform. >> i think it's important that

joining me now victor davis hanson, hoover institution senior fellow. , i was in that room when trump was speaking last night. and if they bothered to listen to him, he was actually saying i want to work with democrats to save the cities. i will work with anybody to save -- these are great cities. they don't want to hear that because what does that do, victor? >> well, you know, i think they think that had the more they have the biased coverage and the more they spread falsehoods about trump they're like straws on the proverbial trump camel back they can finally overwhelm him. in fact, as you have seen the last year or two, the opposite is true. the more they lie and they do not apologize and they do not correct the record and the more they are found out, the less credibility they have and the more popularity donald trump had in the primary. i think that's going to extend to the general election. they can't stop. they have a trump fix. they are like an addict. and they know it's not helping them bus but they can't stop it. they are addicted to it. they w

joining us now from the hoover institution is victor davis hanson. it was striking that even politico called this the last stand of the never trumpers, having spent a lot of time in new hampshire, four very lock winters and four years there, this is kind of tailor made for nikki haley style politics. >> yeah, it is. i don't know quite what the strategy is. it's got to be one of three things. either she is going to get a lot of media exposure and pose as a vice president candidate possibly to trump and say that she'll win more independents to the trump cause than she will lose maga people who won't vote for her or maybe she feels that she has got to be inert candidate and be there if donald trump by some weird circumstance with his legal exposures and she is there as the backup or tag along candidate. or if she really believes is she is going to come within 10 points and then be a viable candidate. it's kind of a catch-22, laura, to be such shy has so welcomed in people antithetical people republican party it's lamb suicide mission. because even if she

hills torian in the sense of victor davis hanson and others.ook at the arc of history and say these are the things that we really need to make sure we don't lose sight of obviously the border going to have to be something done about that. walk it out. why would that matter the last part of his quote about limiting the number of foreign folks coming over. well, we want everybody to come to america the legal way. it's the strength and fabric of what made this nation great. you look at the crisis we are having with the highest number ever in december just out of control 2.5 million last fiscal year. we now know from the center for immigration studies that three out of five illegal alien households are on welfare. that's not strengthening the country. and it's not fair to them, either. because it's going to put them in a position to achieve american dream talking about losing sight of. good on call thomas taking time to write this. >> joey: look back and see things play out n similar way. what can we apply today effectively help guide us through wh
