well, joining me now is victor davis hanson, senior fellow at the hoover institution. either he is so been lying for so much of his life, president biden, that he doesn't realize he can't catch up with his last lie, but he said as recently as last march of this year, he said i did not interact with hunter's chinese partners. you see it there in the picture, and by the way, his dilution might be the best way to describe this administration, the biden administration. they were dilutional about the corruption and about him thinking that he could have won, having been way behind where kamala harris was in the polls, dilution about the economy, dilution about the border being secure, when it was wide open. this was the dilutional presidency, no? >> absolutely. he had one role to play and that was he was going nowhere in 202f the democratic party rescued him in the south carolina primary. he lost the first three caucuses and primaries and the deal was as we know that he was to serve as a useful veneer, as it were, for a hard left agenda that he could moderator have a veneer

former white house chief of staff reince priebus, hoover institute institution senior fellow victor davis hanson, victor davis hanson, one of the more fascinating things to me is to watch the world, watch mexico, watch little justin in canada, to watch hamas and hezbollah and china and russia and ukraine. all of a sudden, you know, donald trump gets elected and their behavior, it's a 180 degree, you know, a total flip, 180 degree turn. what do you make of that? >> well, i make that they respect donald trump because they've dealt with him before. >> but it's also very disturbing, sean, because it's a commentary on what they have thought of our country. and joe biden in the last four years, all covered up by the left. and they denied it, denied it and denied it. and it's like this scab was pulled off with the election. the pardon and the escalating dementia of joe biden. and now we learn, basically, that the world all along thought that joe biden was a joke. he was weak. he was incompetent. and now i'm really worried in the next 50 days because he's the country is falling apart. and it's a questio

>> let me go to you, victor davis hanson. donald trump has put forward a transformational agenda. i believe it's a return to constitutional order. i believe if implemented, it would return us to what our framers and founders wanted limited government, greater freedom. we see what's unfolding in washington. clearly. these other elected officials are not reading these election results the way i am and the way i suspect you are, and joe is. >> yeah, they're not. and i don't think even people in the republican party can't quite adjudicate the pulse of the country. it wants change and it wants change fast. it wants an end to the four year of madness. and i don't think any of the american people really understand what's happened. we had 20 million illegal aliens here before joe biden took office. he added 12 million to them. and the trump administration is going to have a terrible time. it's going to be expensive, it's difficult, and it has to be done. the left's attitude is we don't care about the billions of dollars and lives that were destroyed by opening the border. we only care abo

that's a 10 point jump from the this time last year joining us now victor davis hanson fellow at the institution. victor, thank you for being with us. trump is calling this a common sense revolution. whens what the last time we saw what is in essence a unity administration. made up of former political rivals in some cases. and how do you think this is going to pan up. >> we haven't seen it in our lifetime similar where the reagan exuberance. he has all of the levers of powers. he has the house, he has the white house. he has the senate. evidence has a sympathetic supreme court. popular electoral vote. most importantly, every single message or policy that you articulated had overwhelming public support. they won a counter revolution. they want to go back to a normal america. they think the basics of america are intact. but the operation or the expression of them has gone terribly wrong the last four years. so, there is a lot of goodwill and he brought in everybody. when you saw in mad m madison se garden. never seen people from different ideologies that want this thing to work. i thin

but, sure, a clearly diminished joe biden could have defeated donald trump joining us now is victor davis hansonr fellow at the hoover institution. victor, i pulled this passage out specifically for you from "the washington post. because i thought you would have a reaction. biden's aides they say in the "the washington post" in praising his tenure often contend that history will remember him kindly. some biden allies point to a recent survey and historian that biden ranked the 14th best president in history while putting trump last it is trump not biden preparing for second inauguration on january 20th. he wanted to be fdr. will history remember biden kindly, victor? >> no, it's going to be just the opposite. is he very delusional. he feels that in all the areas he failed on the border, on the economy, on crime on afghanistan and the middle east if he had doubled down on those failures they might have succeeded. that is delusional. his problem is really does believe because hillary clinton and kamala harris lost to donald trump and he won once, largely because of radical changes in the voting fr

victor davis hanson, one of the more fascinating things to me is to watch the world, watch mexico, watch little justin in canada, to watch hamas and hezbollah and china and russia and ukraine all of a sudden, donald trump gets elected and their behaviour, it's 180, a total flip. what do you make of that? >> they respect donald trump because they've dealt with him before. it's also very disturbing because it's a commentary on what they have thought of our country and joe biden the last four years. all covered up by the left and they denied it. it's like the scab was pulled off with the election, the pardon and the escalating dementia of joe biden. now we've learned basically that the world all along thought that joe biden was a joke. he was weak and incompetent. now i'm worried in the next 50 days because the country is falling apart and it's a question that even the democrats almost want donald trump to take over. they're almost like we can't do it anymore, we give up. bring in trump, please. it's the weirdest thing i've ever seen. >> why you -- why would joe biden be escalating war in e

[laughter] let's get your reaction, victor davis hanson wrote, quote, never in u.s. history has a president-elect like trump been welcomed as the real president even before his inauguration, that there's a, quote, universally desperate hope in the and overseas that trump will put an end to the collective madness that happened under biden. trump's going to wipe out biden's economic mandates like, you know, getting rid of gas cars. how damaging was biden here? >> in certain sectors, and i would certainly say energy, he was very damaging. those policies didn't really make sense, and they did a tremendous amount of damage. and those -- if you look all around the world right now, governments, you just talked about trudeau. he's on his way out in the next couple of weeks. he had similar protocols, and people just said they don't make sense. so what we want is when it affects the individual and when all of a sudden everything they do costs more and they can't make ends meet, people get, for lack of a better word, pissed off. and that's exactly what happened in america. it c

victor davis hanson is a senior fellow at the hoover institution. know this this isn't groundbreaking to fox or to vh. i think everybody knew it. but it's coming out now. why? >> why? i don't think it's too cynical, jesse, to say that these reporters who participated in this cover up have now adjudicated in these last 40 days, that biden cannot help them by complicity in this lie. they won't be rewarded. he has no power to help them, and he has no power to hurt them. if they now finally tell the truth. this was the greatest presidential fraud and deception since woodrow wilson had a stroke in 1919. and edith wilson kept that from the american people for 16 months to their internal shame. this is going to be shameful for the rest of presidential history. what they did, they they know what they did. and the worst offender is actually not the media. it's kamala harris. when she announced the robert her report, she attacked him personally and said he should be ashamed of himself. he's unprofessional for very just the idea of hinting that joe biden would
