just applied common sense a great gentleman, victor davis hanson. >> none of the five civil or criminal case it is currently lives against former president donald trump, by the way, all going through washington. this is all election interference by biden i've ever had merit another come have had these criminal or civil trials are merely the continuation of extra legal efforts of the last eight years to destroy presidential candidate and ruv opposing him in a transparent election. >> enemies like china and russia now boast that americans new political prosecutions are similar to those of their own system. and even more so victor davis hanson and he goes on with a beautiful statement and i won't bore you with the public is important by him at all. and they agree with them 100%. let's see, any president who would go through the justice system, et cetera, et cetera. yeah, it's a disgrace. what's happening? this is something it shouldn't be happening. thom fit i've carefully track the real donald trump trial up in new york. the prosecution in quotes, prosecution, meaning persecution has been

pete: senior fellow victor davis hanson joins us now.eat to have you on a sun you day morning. thanks for being here. what do you make of this? he's trying to impugn both parties but it feels like it's only one party and the democrats decided to give into their extreme base and therefore someone like him doesn't recognize that party. >> yes, for someone so independent, it's so sad that he's so disingenuous. if you look at what bill clinton said in '92 and '96 at the democratic convention, ebb force the borders, 100,000 more police officers, strong support for israel, develop energy, that's ununrecognizable today in the democratic party. you couldn't do that. if you look at donald trump's you ajeyou aagenda and i would e manchin to tell the nation how it differs from prior reganism, tax cuts, deregulation, energy, crime deterrent, support for israel. it's almost identical except maybe for deficit spending although reagan was a deficit spender himself. the change and the revolution has been on the left on the democratic party, it's unrecog

victor davis hanson joins me now.ally starting to reject these far-left ideas like dei? is the pendulum swinging the right way? >> gradually, gradually. i think a lot of universities are going to bring back the s.a.t. in the fall. there's been an end epidemic of dei czars that are plagiarized. we saw the sad testimony of those college presidents. the disruption on campus has a subtext text to it. it's not just we have a lot of foreign students, but we have a lot of students by the universities' prior standards of just three or four years ago they would not have been admitted, and they've been admitted without compare etive rankings of gpas, can they're very unhappy. they have to either add new courses or cut down the workload or, as in if yale's case, give 80% of the people as. wrong the universitieses think it works -- i don't think the universities think it worked. i think their reputations have been harmed, and they're scrambling before they start to see a bigger negative full aoff in the annual giving -- falloff.

and more so, that is victor davis hanson. and he on with a beautiful segment.he republican -- and they agree with him 100%. any president who would go through the justice system and et cetera. it is a disgrace what is happening this is something that should not be happening, tom fitton, i tracked the trial in new york prosecution, has not presented any evidence of a crime by trump. judge merchan is -- he said very negative things about him, i am not saying that today about the judge. matt whitaker, former acting attorney general. concerned about the trial of new york, targeting president trump, very unfair, and et cetera. gag order is -- protect defend an defendants, rarely applied to just one side, they have never seen anything like this gag order, hopefully you will never see it again, it applied to only defendants, you have a constitutional problem without able to say anything about your own case. i am not allowed to talk about big portions of my case. and nothing like that has ever happened, they are allowed to talk the other side, but i'm not. governor bur

i do, i listen to a very interesting podcast just this morning, in time for this by victor davis hanson, who's at the hoover institution. he's a friend of mine from fresno where i grew up. and he said something very interesting. remember, i slept through the attack from iran on saturday night. why did i sleep through it? well, there were no sirens in tel aviv. the sirens were in jerusalem, which is to the east, and they were in jordan, and they were in iraq, which is further to the east. so iran launched those things. they had to come toward the west, and they went through several other countries and there were airplanes to intercept them. and the iron dome and a number of technologies that were deployed by the us by germany, germany, excuse me, the us, uk, france, israel, jordan, saudi arabia and the uae all helped in this. and maybe there were others. so it was a combined allied effort. so that was a first. never in history have so many cruise missiles and so on been launched at the same time. and the allies did a brilliant job of knocking them all almost all down. so iran was defeate
