America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first, nearly
three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home,
and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us.
Will we let them? Or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads,
America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

John Stamos here in partnership with Colaguard and I've got to say, so you're 45 or older
and at average risk. So what? That doesn't mean your life comes to a halt? No way. You can still do
all the fun things you've been doing, but it's time to take your health a little more seriously.
Coling cancer screening needs to be on your docket. And it's as simple as the Colaguard test.
Don't worry. You got this. It's a tragic figure because he was 11 deployments into combat zones
in Iraq and Afghanistan. His wife was a CIA operative and tragically killed. He served
honorably. He owed a lot to the Trump administration because he had been a defeated congressional
candidate twice and it was very likely that he did not have a political future and Trump
allows Tulsi to bring him in and he's like the number two, number three people in the director
of national intelligence. And then he knows that she's vulnerable because people have suggested
that her lectures about forever wars put her at odds with it. So you think to be sober and judicious,
he would try to follow the directives of the elected president. And if he could not do that,
he would write a very nice letter and say I'm in opposition and leave, but he didn't do that.
Hello, ladies, hello, gentlemen. Welcome to Victor Davis Hanson in his own words. And no words
right now because Victor's finishing breakfast. So he needs he needs that strength. Oh,
I'm a total wreck. It's all right. Victor is a wreck is better than the most men in
Tuxedo's and limousines. We're recording you on the 21st, Saturday, the 21st, this episode is up on
the 24th. Victor Davis Hanson in his own words is brought to you by the good people, Rob Bluey,
the great Rob Bluey, from the daily signal. Victor is the Martin Martin and Eli Anderson,
senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, the Wayne and Marsha Busky Distinguished Fellow in
history at Hillsdale College, a man with a website, the blade of Perseus Victor Hanson.com go there,
tons of free stuff, but Victor also has exclusive material. You need to subscribe $650 a month,
$65 discount to the year and you get to read two articles every week, one video every week that
Victor does exclusively for that site. So I think I got it all in there Victor. By the way, I saw
Rob, I was in DC on Thursday for the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast and Rob was there. He's just
the greatest soul, but so many people there were after me. We love Victor. How's he doing? How's
he doing? I have some special insight information about you, but you're beloved. Wherever I go,
Victor, beloved. That was very nice. I had a just off topic. I had a kind of a bad
week because I'm trying to develop my lung, re-develop it, losing the lobe. Then I had all that
lost half my blood volume and all the second surgery to find the bleed and all that. You
don't want to press your heart, but I had been walking about 10,000 steps for three days at
heart rate, about 75 to 80, and then all of a sudden out of the blue, whatever I did, I mean,
I'm going to get up to get a drink of water, 100, get dizzy, really, I'm dizzy, but more dizzy,
and then anytime I walk, 95 immediately. So I wrote this, I wrote my doctor, and he said two
things that I kind of sloughed off. He said, well, you were on this beta blocker, and then you got
off, and you've been on a long time. So your heart is overcompensating. I said, well, I
wound him back and said, well, the first three days, I felt great. He said, it's called the rebound
effect. So if you press a heart rate, and when sometimes, you know, you would get in the 60s when
you were walking with it, but it felt very artificial. And then he said something very astute. He
said, once the good esthetic part, you know, you're, you're ecstatic getting off it and through
then the rebound, not last either a week to three weeks even, and that'll mean your heart will be
at 10 to 15 to 20 beats higher. And then he said, you lost half of your volume. It's been hot.
I bet you're dehydrated, and I've never been dehydrated in my life. So I went to get a blood
draw for a test. And the woman said, you have no veins. I said, I have the best veins, I have
vampire veins. And she said, she said, no, I can't even get blood out with a pediatric needle.
So you've got to drink some water. I said, why? She said, because you're severely dehydrated.
And I started drinking 16 ounces. Then it kind of oozed out. So the four days ago, I thought, wow,
it's now been seven or eight days since I was off the drug. Maybe he was right. And the rebound
effect will fade. And maybe I've been chugging water, right? Yeah. And the last three days,
I've walked 80, 500 steps in the heart rate studies 73 to 80. So I'm just very, that's a wonderful
doctor to be able to remind me of that. Well, your post stop has sort of been the phrase, two steps
forward in one battle. It has been, some days I get up and I feel, you know, the worst thing about
it is, it's very humiliating. I was always, you know, I was always very physical. I don't mean
necessarily particular, but I always did things like fix sprinklers. I climb up in the barn and fix
a rafter or I, you know, spray weeds. I did it all the time. And I'm like an invalid because
these the weeks whenever I kind of forget, oh, there's a sprinkler broken water shooting out. I
get on my knees. And the next thing I know, and I look at my watch and it was 105, you know,
and then I wouldn't sleep. I hadn't slept more than two or three hours. And then
it's very, I can't drive. I tried to drive around the yard and all of a sudden, I thought,
oh, I don't want to be on those people you read about the older man, elderly gentleman 72 ran
over a pedestrian. So it is very humiliating, but I'm trying to do all the rehab, you know,
the spider meter and walk. And all of this is a side show because the real question is,
is this thing going to come back or not? So I'm also now scheduled for my next blood biopsy and CT.
So gotta stay upbeat. People have been very nice right now. All these wonderful stories and
letters. I just, yeah, no, I was at mass before the prayer breakfast the day before a couple
of people stopped me there. I mean, they were praying for you right then and there. So it's
it helps. It's a beautiful thing for people to not all about you. I think this has other
impact on in influencing people's religiosity and the belief that prayer is meaningful.
It does. It doesn't matter. It is. So Victor, I think we'll get started today by getting your
thoughts on an important essay that's come out in the spectator by Chris call, well, it's titled
The End of Trumpism and we'll get to that when we come back from these important messages.
Hey, I'm Bradley Devlin and just like you, I'm a huge fan of Victor Davis Hanson. Whether it's
his long form podcast, Victor Davis Hanson in his own words or his short form content for the
Daily Signal, Victor Davis Hanson in a few words, I always leave an episode learning something new.
I think they forgot the 1982 Falcons Award. And in the age of clickbait and ragebait,
that's a really good feeling, right? The media, thank you. You can leave now.
Well, if you agree, you might like my show. The Daily Signal's long form interview
podcast called The Signal Sitdown. Every week, we take you behind the scenes of the biggest
battles in Washington, DC as they happen with some of the biggest names in politics. We explored
big ideas and we analyzed the policy making process from an unabashedly and unapologetically
conservative perspective. And that's important now more than ever with the Trump administration back
in office because in 2024, you sent Washington a message it couldn't ignore. It's your government.
And together, we're taking it back. So check us out on YouTube's
Spotify Apple podcasts wherever you enjoy Victor Davis Hanson or there too. And drop me a follow
on X at Bradley Devlin to stay updated with what's happening on The Signal Sitdown.
We are back with Victor Davis Hanson in his own words. I should have also mentioned at the Daily
Signal. Victor also does four times a week. Victor Davis Hanson in a few words. Do check that out.
I just started again after my hiatus of three months, I think. So you're doing about four
a week and about seven, eight minutes each and really spoon sized, bite sized, a Victor wisdom.
So here's what Chris Calwell, who's so Chris is a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.
He used to be one of the most SAS for the weekly standard back in its heydays terrific guy.
But he's written somewhat a controversial essay and it's titled The End of Trumpism. And for
the guy who has written the case for Trump and the forthcoming book, the subtitle, I think,
The Fallen Rise of Trump, who better than you to reflect on this. But here's what Chris wrote
and bear with me folks. Trump has, and you start about a ran off the bat. Trump has escaped other
predicaments of his own making. But there is something different about this one. The attack
in Iran is so wildly inconsistent with the wishes of his own base, so diametrically opposed to
their reading of the national interest that it is likely to mark the end of Trumpism as a project.
Those with claims to speak for Trumpism, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, have reacted
to the invasion with incredulity. Trump may entertain himself with the presidency for the next three
years, barring impeachment, but the mutual respect between him and his movement has been ruptured
and his revolution is essentially over. He goes on at great length to say, to be increasingly
critical. It matters. Chris Colwell says in the public square, Victor, what are your thoughts
on this? Well, as somebody who, you know, I've written for about 50 years, it is very, very hazardous
to offer a prognosis in what we say in Latin, in medias rabos, right in the middle of things.
So what do I mean by that? Let's just say that the regime in Iran really is exhausted and they
have scattered around certain emergency silos, three missiles here, 10 drones there that would be
impossible to get them all. And they're letting them off to show everybody that they can take this blow.
But I don't know why they did it. They have convinced the NATO partners of two things.
That they are trying to shut down the straight-of-her moves that our allies need. They've convinced them
that if you let this regime do this, they'll do it again and they will control it. And they've
sent an inner range intermediate ballistic missile to Diego Garcia, which is beyond the range of
which they said their missiles were capable of, 20, 600 miles. They said, oh, we don't have anything
you take a map of Europe and you put concentric circles and you'll see that most of the European
capitals are now in range of those. So that kind of shocked them. So what I'm getting at is I think
Christopher doesn't see that we're in a very fluid volatile point where I ask myself
abroad strategically, I say, and then I'll get to the domestic very quickly, but I'll say,
are the Gulf monarchies that beg this not to do it, that triangulate with us, that pay around
off so they will be safe, play them, they pay them the dangled, and then they secretly fund
Hamas or some of them fund Houthis in Hezbollah. Are they now angry? No, they're more on board
than ever because basically they said if Trump leaves this regime intact and he leaves,
we are going to be vassal states of Iran. We already were in a sense, but now it's it's over.
They have the ability to ruin our tourist industry, our oil industry, and they're crazy.
So what I'm getting now is the world at large has not abandoned the United States like the left
has in part of the right place. And we don't know where we are right now because the command and
control has been wiped out. There's other people that will step up. We don't know if they're capable,
we don't know, we don't know what the Iranian people are going to do. We don't know to what
degree the Israelis are going to direct all their attention to attacking the revolutionary guard,
and they've been doing that with drones. When you when you send in tactical aircraft like
a patches and warthogs, then you have to have not air superiority. You have to have air supremacy
because those are low flying targets. And some guy can take pot shots and get a lucky shot and
shoot somebody in the windshield. That can still happen. But it shows you that if they're flying
freely over the Gulf and along the coast, then they they're pretty secure that there's not going
to be a great deal of danger because there's not a lot of resistance left. So these things can be,
nobody predicted the Berlin Wall would fall. He said it would not happen for years. Other people
predicted tenement, tenement square would lead almost immediately to a so the end of this,
just like the end of the Soviet Union, the end of the it didn't happen. So we don't know what's
going to happen. But it's very volatile. But let's just say if it did happen, Cuba, the Cuban
government would probably and I'm not going to you know, prognosticate after warning about it,
but there'd be a good chance it would lose control gradually. If they see what happened in Iran,
and Venezuela would not want to rebel or go revert back to the Chavez Maduro regime. So everything
is in play right now, but if it should happen that Iran has regime change, then you look at a
present, you say, what were the three biggest worries outside of China? I shouldn't say outside,
that the United States presence of hat one was a nuclear Iran and a trouble making subsidizing
terrorist Iran, which we don't want to touch because we thought they were invincible,
to the slow leftist takeover of South and Latin American with these left wing governments that
the Chinese as they had been doing with the radians and North, they're they're propping up.
And the use of Cuban mercenaries, bodyguards and ideological missionaries all over the western
hemisphere. And who is the beneficiary of that China? And for us to take out the Chinese pipeline,
I'm being metaphorically, but the access to Venezuela and maybe Iran, you could see as one scenario
in three weeks, it collapsed Iran, a revolution in Cuba, six weeks, who knows? And Donald Trump would
not have failed, he would be the greatest president in the last, I don't know, 50 years, 80 years.
I think Chris knows that should be aware of that domestically, for what he said to be true,
if you were going to be completely analytical, you wouldn't cite Joe Rogan, Megan Kelly,
Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, even though they have a lot of clicks, you would look at polls,
and you would say, what does an anti-Trump poll say on CNN? What does an anti-Harvard, and you look
at them? And the mega base is much higher than people who poll that they're just straight Republicans.
They're straight Republicans that say, I'm not a big Trump supporter, about 60 to 70%.
The mega people's one poll had them 100%, 100 to 98%. So for his article to be convincing,
you would have to have demonstrable truth that there is a widespread, not just on ease,
everybody has on ease, but I'm saying it translates into actual defection, and I haven't seen that,
and the polls don't indicate it. And the other practical question, so you're a Trump person,
and you didn't want to have forever wars, and you see that Joe Kent resigned, and you say,
well, who are the other people that are avatars of no forever wars in the mega bill, JD Vance?
He just came out and said, Trump had no choice. He had to do it. Tulsi Gabbard.
She just asked for a vote of confidence from Trump, and she got one. Bobby Kennedy, he's been mom,
so there's nobody fault Joe Kent out the door. So even a good example is right in the crucible
of January 6th, Betty DeVos, remember that resigned, and Elaine Chao resigned, and what did the people
say? Oh, there's going to be a mass accident of all of his cabinet officials, so they don't go down
with a ship. That was it. And then I'm just quoting from this manuscript that's now in Galley proof,
I thought when I looked at the evidence that Donald Trump, his fall would have lasted a lot longer,
it only lasted about a year. Yes, all of his rivals were outpulling him in early 2021.
But once the indictments came and the mug shots, he was rebounding very quickly, and there's nobody
that had a better record of governance that Ron DeSantis. He was the perfect mega. He was the
mega agenda without the hysterics and the fireworks that Trump can often display. And he pulled out
after the first primary. So what I'm getting out is all of these epithets and post mortems for
Trump have always been wrong. And he's taken a really, really, really big gamble before the midterms,
but the midterms are April, May, June, July, August, September, October, they're over seven,
seven and a half months from now. If you get the straights open, you'll have a flood of oil
and the price will collapse, just like it has done before after embargo. So I'm not saying this
is going to happen. I don't know, but I'm just suggesting it's a very perilous to predict the end
of Donald Trump and his mega movement. Yeah. Let me, I want to follow up the first,
if a major disruption happened and you couldn't get to the store, fair viewer and listener,
how long do you think you would last with what's in your house right now? If it's anything less than
a month, you need to check out our friends at my Patriots supply, they're America's number one

That's prepare with vdh.com. And we thank the good people from my Patriots supply for sponsoring
Victor Davis Hanson in his own words. Victor, my follow up is about that word trumpism. And I don't
know what it means. It gets pretty variable. But I think one thing that we've seen in the last week
of people have corralled these old trump video clips that go back even 40 years. One thing Donald
Trump has always been consistent on is the need to address the threat to Iran. So if Trumpism does not
have Donald Trump of all people being responsive to an immediate threat from Iran or looming threat.
I don't know what trumpism means. He even said he would take car guy when no one knew what car
island was. Yeah. And the thing is there's a lot of things that trump can do. If you take car
island and whether that means you put a protective airspace around it or a blockade. So you don't
have to actually put Marines because the whole island is probably now by now booby trapped and
subterranean tunnels. And you you'd be in a Gaza-like situation maybe. Who knows.
But if you just blockade it by air and sea and you say you're not going to get any oil out.
And that might spike the world. But they wouldn't have any income and they're already freezing their
assets. So if you're an Iranian and you're how do you get paid? How do you have any money? Look at Cuba.
So this is 93 million people and they can be easily boycotted and bargoed etc. And we haven't
really done all of that yet. And at some point we'll see it. There's as I said before there's
a rock and a hard place. And I don't know where the greater laxity is. But they think they can
wait trump out with rope adult. And that because when they cause havoc they are going to get pressure
from the Gulf monarchies on trump from NATO on trump from his base on trump and the U.S.
economy on trump and he'll cry uncle and then they will be free. The Chinese and North Koreans
and the Russians will come in. We arm them. And in two or three years the first thing they will do
is try to get a nuclear weapon with the fishable material they probably still have hidden.
And now we know they can hit Europe with it and they will threaten Europe and they will
threaten Israel etc etc. And the next time you have to go in it will be very different. Much more
difficult. So why you have air supremacy you should finish the job where you support the original
incursion or not. I mean it's not everybody said this is our this is that I heard one of the
stupidest things somebody was I was watching it was CNN or something they said.
I'll be it now. Yeah but they said this is Putin's this is Donald Trump's Ukraine. I said my
God man there's two million casualties probably a million point three dead on both sides. We've lost
tragically 13 soldiers. Come on. Russia's lost a million people. It's lost a city the size of
you know greater San Francisco out gone kaput. And Donald Trump we have we've never done this before
tried to fight an entire war we did in the Balkans but even there I mean people were calling I
think after week two for Clinton to quit and they said you can't do this you can't we move you
can't do this you can't do this and they did and when you try to go on a little bit and off a
little bit you get eight months of bombing Libya and Qaddafi and remember Qaddafi was in a reform
mood after 2003 invasion of Iraq he was opening the country up I went there right and I can tell
you they had cell phones for the first time and people were ecstatic that the kids were taking over
they were opening the Italian archaeological sites I spoke there at them Subratha for example
leptus magna it was a very exciting time and then we go in a few years later and bomb them
and we had no strategy and we just that was Hillary Hillary Clinton Samantha Power and
the Locuesa Susan Rises and I'm telling morning everybody that she's going to take retaliation
with the Democrats come back Pritzker did that too today and let's put it here is a
we have reprehensible character he really is you know well let's talk about Joe Kett first
though I do want to get it get it something we talked about the last time this is not a this is
a non-secretary the devil what color is the devil you race it yes you find out yeah well I love
our listeners and viewers and I'm just to say Jim B sent me a a near treatise email on the
colors of the devil from it's what I like about our listeners is like having an instant cycle
oh yeah the devil is all colors I remembered correctly he's a multicolored devil he's
multicolored blue mostly black red some green some blue and the green I remembered from
he's a million like or that and the inter isn't there a is there a reason like why is he
when he's green what does that signify what he's blue what does that signify I see there's a word
ancient Greece porcolos that means month multicolored well I don't know how you know how certain
fabrics can yeah radiate colors he's not green though huh he said he was green yeah no my point is
I do remember him being green at shot true there's just the most beautiful stained glass
yeah I've been yeah yeah yeah and and indeed he is green there I thought maybe was I remembering
right but he I thought he looked like a grouper with horns you know like the green frog
peppy they're frog well maybe they'll be on Tucker's show then sometimes anyway
Joe Kent Joe Kent so he was on speaking of Tucker he was on the show and let me trouble our readers
just to give some indication of I don't know is this a conspiracy or what so some I'm reading this
from MA Rothman who posts this on X Joe Kent goes on Tucker Carlson within minutes not hours minutes
the same clip same caption same outrage floods hundreds of accounts simultaneously labs tracked
every amplification event in real time and the data is damning so there was a trigger quote the
Israelis drove the decision this is Joe Kent saying this that was clipped and posted across hundreds
of accounts almost simultaneously not after it trended during the broadcast real breaking news
takes time to spread organically this had a running start who amplified it look at the coalition
Russian TV Iranian state media Hamas aligned CUDS news network Turkish state broadcasters
Sputnik Brazil and simultaneously can a someone's Marjorie Taylor green others so anyway Victor this
stuff doesn't happen naturally kind of coordinated I don't know who coordinated or not but Joe Kent
is increasingly seeming like a troubling figure but yeah it's a tragic figure because
he was what 11 deployments into combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan I think his wife was a CIA
operative and tragically killed his first wife he served honorably I remember his campaign well I
think he was running for a Washington representative congressional seat in state of Washington I might
have misspoke last time in said Oregon but he was very close he I mean my gosh it was it was a very
the first time he ran he he lost by I think less than a percentage and all of the mega people
endorsed him Trump endorsed him and he he got very close but the second one was not as quite
as I remember as the first I know these encyclopedia listeners will correct me but my point is this that
he owed a lot to the Trump administration because he had been a defeated congressional candidate twice
and it was very likely that he did not have a political future and Trump
allows Tulsi to bring him in and he's like the number two number three people
and the director of national intelligence and then he knows that she's vulnerable because people
have suggested that her lectures about forever wars put her at odds with this so you think
to be sober and judicious he would just go to the meetings and he would try to follow the
directives of the elected president and if he could not do that he would write a very nice letter
and say I'm in opposition and leave but he didn't do that he wrote and said not only did he feel that
the mega movement or the Trump movement was not being followed but it was following Israel at the
dictates of Israel so I bought right into the Jews the Jews did it and when at that moment then the
whole new world opened up for him and he thinks that's quite a big world on the right it isn't as
I suggested with the earlier polls that show Trump has overwhelming support for Iraq but then
magically he goes on as you said all of these shows and what he says about Israel becomes the
main topic in other words had he not said that about Israel he may or may not have been on
Candace and Tucker and all the rest but once he said that he was insured to be on there
then there's a second troubling aspect Jack and that is I don't know if this is
narratives put out by the administration that have not been verified so I don't want to suggest that
they're actually verified accurate proven but there are narratives now in the meeting that he
was a source of leaking and that there was pressure on upon him and that he was probably going to
resign and he preempted that resignation by making a statement of conscious against Trump and
Israel and that opened up another avenue had he not done that in other words had he done what I
said earlier and just resigned and thank Trump for all of the support they probably would not
have leaked that story that he was an object of an investigation for leaking but you get the
impression that at least some people believe that he got when that he was outgoing out the door
so he preempted by resigning with this sensational charge that Israel was controlling the Trump
administration and Trump had betrayed the MAGA movement and that opened an escape hatch into a very
lucrative pod he I think he's going to start a podcast to podcasting hard right and you know this is
this is very familiar or World War II I mean when we after Pearl Harbor there was a great
a great for three days there was a great debate and that was whether we were going to clerk or
in Germany I think the historical evidence suggests we were not we're going to be Japan first
and there was a big argument do not get drawn in as Churchill tried it we've already given him
Linlies he's trying to draw us in let's just concentrate on the people who attacked us and then
of course three days later Germany declared war on us for a lot of reasons that don't make
sense to this day but it was the same idea that Roosevelt and the United States were being controlled
by the British and they didn't realize it was in the US interest to destroy Imperial Japan but
especially Nazi Germany was in our interest despite what Darrell Cooper and some of the people
that have been on Tucker show say yes but don't Trump Trump is not being controlled by Net Yahu
and if you think he is then ask yourself who blew up all these Americans over the last 47 years
you know they use this term a parent I was listening to this guy Jeremy Raskin Adam Schiff
there was no apparent threat there was no apparent threat but there was no apparent threat we had
all these DNC talking a point yeah can they tell me when there was an apparent threat of anything they
have killed or anything they've done to us oh they blew up the American the 241 green peacekeeper
but there was no apparent threat oh they blew up the embassy in baby oh but there was no apparent
threat oh they helped blow up the embassies in Tanzania and Kenya oh but there was no apparent
threat oh some of the operatives may have had help from around that tried to blow up the USS
call but there was no apparent threat oh they tried to kill Trump Mike Pompeo John Bolton
ambassador hook but there was no apparent threat when has there ever been an apparent threat
with these people every time they do it they're a little bit different they always use sir oh they
killed 600 maybe 2000 some of the military Americans with shaped charges and but there was no
apparent threat they were doing that so how can we respond and that's what they they always had
deniability of culpability they knew exactly what was going on on October 7th they greenlighted it
they knew that was part of their ring of fire strategy and they thought it was going to work
and no apparent threat what what if what if a US Navy plane had spotted the Japanese fleet on
December 4th yes you could the same thing could apply well they're just floating out there that's
not a Aaron threat they had radio silence yeah what if they had just flown over and somebody said
I think you should take them out they're on their way to Pearl Harbor there's no reason but there
was no apparent threat yeah and so that's how they operate and now we know that they have a strategic
plan should they be an extremist or if they want to stop the West and one of them is to take
control over this great of hormones the second one is to destroy the oil or intimidate the petrol
kingdoms who supply 45% of the world's oil into submission and the third is to launch test
rockets that can reach now we know all of the European Western European major capital
and that's what they've shown us so if you weren't if you if you wanted them to get out now then
you're going to try you're going to have to say to yourself well there's no apparent threat
even though I didn't know that they could reach Diego Garcia and there before most of Europeans
greatest cities oh there was no apparent threat but I guess they kind of had a plan all along to
control the straight of hormones oh there was no apparent threat but I guess they went and
rearmed Hezbollah and I've been working to reestablish its command and control but there was
no apparent threat so it's the regime it's who they are it's they walk like a duck they talk like
a duck they are a duck and that's who they are they get up every morning thinking I want to
destroy Israel then the United States and then Western Europe and they go to bed every night thinking
I didn't do enough today to do that that's how they think yeah because if they die in the process
they think they get 71 virgins so they say they say that they hate the West and then they
you know they go for impotence treatment to the West they say that they hate the West and then

but the part of the allure victor of our show is that we have seven dogs but they've all they've
all fallen to cancer that spotty had uh they're all Queensland's yeah one of them had something
wrong and she got frightened and ran out and wrote and got killed but yeah greasy but sport
diet of cancer spike is still alive spotty diet of cancer sorry and i don't know if it's kind of
worried about that because we live in this farm and we were bathing chemicals as kids and told
they were perfectly safe. Organo organo phosphides and organo chloride man um what your liver has
processed over the years my friend and i'm not speaking yeah you are somebody said for the first
time the inner day remember you're a cancer survivor i never heard that tone applied to me of all
people i said no well i i know from some of the many of the comments actually that the people
feel a broader a deeper brotherhood with you over that so it's like a sort of damacly that
just hangs over you because yeah it's what the woman's called can canker the crab the crab is
always crawling inside eating you depressing the fact that's okay that's where we get the
inner that's where we get the term cancer i get i get it i get it it's just it's just latin for
crab yeah okay more depressing things i wonder how when truck shumer goes to the airport
is he waiting in a three hour no he's ushered by a VP they all are they all are you and you know
they all are because the socialist par excellence Bernie Sanders had that and aoc had those rallies
last summer and right were flown in by private jets he's got three homes and look at alien Omar
she's communist par excellence and she's worth 30 million dollars how she got that i don't know
and her sister runs one of these Somali charity entitlements that's no comment needed what it is
well while america waits for hours to get through tsa and now there's a threat that smaller
airports are going to be shut down and some of them are not so small or i travel out of i so
Bradley which is out of Hartford and Springfield is on a potential shut down this his headline must
go offers to pay tsa workers as dhs homeland security funding laps hits airports he he's he
posted on x this morning we're talking on Saturday the 21st i would like to offer to pay the salaries
of tsa personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many
americans that airports throughout the country this dude is truly unique uh i don't know how many
there are there must be at least 10,000 don't you think that or how no yes if you get it if you
pay them five hundred dollars a day wouldn't it be i mean he's talking about five million dollars a
day right i don't know when you worth half for trillion or more or maybe it's uh maybe it's
surrounding error for him or maybe it's alone but still it's uh it's a great amazing it's amazing
gesture yeah and it comes at a time when we were told that you've got to take all the billionaires
money and drive them out of your state or tax them to death oh my god as your uh your former you
were former new york or your brother let's yeah let's let's talk about that if you don't mind and
two two two two related things on the tax front one is your governor your current governor
and to Gavin Newsom told a uh sx sw conference uh this is the last week in austin texas he said um
oh we california have the most progressive tax rates in america texas taxes poor folks more than
we tax our richest the question for you is who's the higher tax date california or texas who are you
for are you just for the one percent are you for the ninety nine percent so he's he's calling
california a low tax date because he's not yeah he's not very bright what he does is he takes the
income tax alone and he's right about that because of the black market which is huge in california
and because of the tax entitlements 50 percent of almost 50 percent of california do not pay the
state income tax about one percent pay about 40 percent of all of the income tax revenue maybe
and fit in probably uh five percent uh i put it this way five percent pay 40 percent of the
income tax and one one percent pays the rest 50 so what i'm getting at is yes he's right that
you in california because they don't it's socialism they just it's redistribution confiscatory
socialism for half the people don't even pay income tax but that's not the whole story
there's been study after study after study and they they do the following
what is the price of electricity and what is it's a state run public utility and it's controlled
and it's the highest in the continental United States what is the gas tax it's higher now in
Pennsylvania what is the sales tax it's like in theory seven and a half state but if you look at
all of the county and local add-ons it's about eleven to twelve percent and yes we have a lid
you can range from one to two and a half percent on property taxes but our assessed evaluation is
really the highest in the United States continental United States so when you look at all of these
taxes that hit the poor because they have to pay if they buy something they have to pay sales
tax they have to pay property tax they have to pay gas tax and their controlled utilities
or sky high then they are the most taxed and he knows that I think he knows that
but the thing about him is when he gets just think of what he said the last few days
last few weeks he said that he told the European leaders that they basically need to take their
knee pads off in other words they crouch down before Trump and perform a foul sex act upon him
that's what he said and then his team when the brave young kid who was trying to expose all of
the fraud and help the taxpayer comes to California he tweets out that he's a with pictures as if he's
a sexual predator all the boy kids are gonna like that and he's tweeted out that he'd like to hit
Trump in the mouth he's he's gone to a group of accomplished black people and said that he's
they're no smarter than he is he's no smarter than they are I mean every time he opens his mouth
he says something either foul, vile, mean, stupid, self-incriminating and then he has these
he and then he wows these you know these magazine editors and they always say how good looking he does
this and he does this strange kind of a Tim Waltz body contortion and then a version of Tim Waltz
so that's what he does and then what does he not do he has no plan to we have a fifth you know
25 billion dollar debacle called high speed rail it was supposed to be pretty much that cost for
the whole thing it's going to be 300 billion it's not even going to be close it's never going to be
built even when they not one foot of track has been laid when from Bakersfield to Merced if they
get that 170 mile link in five years it'll lose money every day unless people like you Jack
as tourist to California say oh my gosh I got to get to Merced and Bakersfield skip your
simmities skip Carmel skip Malibu Beach not knocking Merced not knocking I'm not making I ain't
living up I'm live here but people in my experience are not flocking to Selma either right and so
and then he's got no new dams we're short now water or we have a whole bond that has been
already funded that has misused he blows up dams he doesn't build them he's got the highest as I
say taxes in the country the schools are shambles they're in the bottom 10% one out of every three
people who checks into a hospital has diabetes in California 27% of the population was not born
in the state and there's no there's no means to acculturate and great assimilate them and then
we've got these 70,000 licenses that were issued to people who did not qualify and so we've
got a bunch of IED truck drivers are everywhere that are moving explosive devices that could kill
people in a second yeah and he doesn't talk and we have the Pacific Palisites fires we've had
all of these fires from his I don't know what you call green forest program or green fire
prevention will you just let them burn out and you throw people to yes you try to clean the hillsides
of Malibu or Palisades against the law you go into the Aspen fire you want to clear out brush
against the law he shut down the trucking the the mineral industries got sitting on vast deposits
of oil and gas and we're not developing them why he imports gasoline from Japan and oil from
Saudi Arabia and not believe me as sure as the sun gets up gas is now over five dollars here
and every time I go to Palo Alto or I drive through there it's seven I saw I saw a picture of
850 something yes and that's because of our special Gavin Newsom green blend and the highest gas
taxes and he's driven out two more refineries that are left and so now he has to import that very
hard to produce special strain of gas for the summer from the Caribbean or from Japan and now
it's going to be very very expensive as sure as the sun gets up he's going to say all Trump
raised your gas prices as if going from seven dollars eight dollars to ten or nine and it's
going to get there and when it gets there I think people are going to explode that voted for him
right now on the polls we have two Republicans that are ahead of the pack and this is very ironic
because they they pushed as you know Jack these jungle primaries and they wanted to put everybody
in in these blue states so that basically they thought they could get rid of the Republicans and
then run two Democrats in the final and there would be no choice and that's happened here but
it looks there might be no choice for Democrats you know well speaking of Democrats we're going
to take a break but before we do do that mentioned by the governor of the four say where I used to
live I haven't lived there for 40 years but the accent still is you can't get away from that
governor Kathy Hocal is begging wealthy New Yorkers who fled the city to encourage their rich pals
to come back and continue padding the Empire State's lavish public handouts this is from the New
York Post article so in 2022 Kathy Hocal running for governor said jump on a bus and head down
to Florida where you belong because you don't represent our values you are not New Yorkers she was
kind of echoing something that Andrew Cuomo had said a couple years earlier conservatives are not
true New Yorkers well the other day Hocal is begging maybe the first to wealthy people who have
moved to Florida maybe the first step should be to go down to Palm Beach and see who we can
bring back home because our tax base has been eroded poor baby yeah oh gosh duh is what she said
was this insult her retraction was more insulting than the offense because you said we need our
aggressive to help people on entitlements and you got to come back here and let us rob you for more
monies to pay for entitlements for people that are their programs are fraud red that's not going to
win Kathy I'm sorry they'd left they're gone could put gone banish smoke bat into story they're not
going to they're not going to beg you to come back so that you can insult them by stealing their
money and then running one of these fraudulent welfare problems we've seen in California and
in Minnesota and I remember when she said it she was running against lesal get out of here get out of
here I mean we don't you don't have our values well they did get out yeah and you should get out
and and we'll see what happened then poor monday this is why she's doing this and there's
Mondani with Khalil Mahmoud in the governor's mansion the poor Hamas person right after the IED
attacks and then his wife it's very funny she's a daughter of Syrian immigrants and one of
these naturalized citizens I just wrote something called the on gracious immigrant and all these
people whether they're illegal or whether they came in on a student visa or whether they got
natural they're on gracious so she comes here we're in a war in the middle east and now we get
this whole trove of stuff that she liked social media post postings that said that basically
October 7 was a hoax that Jewish girls didn't get raped and she thinks Tel Aviv shouldn't
exist and then he comes in with his little fake smile and says this is unfair she's just a private
person and then the next thing you know she's got a layout for some fashion magazine dressed up as a
postmodern European and then no I don't know what woke a person and she's coming on everything she's
illustrated this book that's utterly anti-Semitic and so we have my point of all this is you have
Kathy Hockle begging whose Jewish who's begging for everybody to come in no she's she's Catholic
I think she's Catholic oh excuse me I thought she was Jewish but she's not because I saw her in a
synagogue but maybe she was visiting yeah okay so she's doing all of this and then she's begging
these wealthy people and then her mayor who's this powerful in some sense more powerful in the
governor not maybe by statute but by publicity and and and and everything else power then he's
sending a message via his wife and via his own past statements that he doesn't want people
especially Jewish people he doesn't like them right and so you better get your narrative straight
why don't you just say we want all the Jewish American financiers and wealthy and successful people
that we drove out with our anti-Semitic attacks on the one hand and our confiscatory taxation on
the other we want you now to crawl back and give us the money because we have all sorts of
socialist dreams that are not realized and we want your money yeah and it may be fraudulent
but don't dare object by the way Victor and to please ignore the the mass of prayers now
happening in the streets of New York like we've seen in European cities the the whatever I'm
not want to make say anything untoward to our Muslim prayerful friends but but it's
their hundreds of people assembling in parks to do the to do the the prayer call and I saw
somebody comment he says you know I've been to I've been united Arab Emirates for 10 years I never
once saw people in the streets at the at the responding to the prayer how come it's happening here
in New York City now yeah so come back to this this is not it's funny about phenomenal if
there you you get a custom or cultured to something and I think a lot of the radical Islamic
population whether they're tearing apart Columbia University or they're chanting as we're in war
with Iran that they want Iran to win or we've got all of these naturalized citizens who are
yelling Allah Akbar as they kill Americans and they think they're exempt it's kind of a mind
and I think a lot of people do that because of lax it when I was a little kid I was in a school
and there was a there was a market across the street and we were told it was it was first as
third grade so obviously they didn't want you know six seven and eight year olds walking across
even though there's a crosswalk to this market right skipping the lunch and buying candy
because of the traffic and everything and I think his name was Mr. Evans you said I don't want
and those days you had might you know how they were there was not there was no taboo about having a
mic coming into your room like big brother yes so they had the Monday every morning we had the
principles message young men and women I want to remind you you are not not not to cross the street
you were to eat your lunch we didn't even have a cafeteria we had to eat outside or in our classrooms
but he said you're not to go over to the market and everybody was doing it and they thought because
everybody was doing it nobody would do and finally some people got fed up parents got fed up it was
dangerous drivers got fed up the teachers got fed up he got and then they just said if you're going
off campus and they locked the gate and you couldn't get back in and they called everybody's parents
it was like I went once to a BB King concert in the cell in Derino when I was 17 and they had like
that was in Fresno 3 and everybody said oh you know you're gonna you're gonna go to prison if
you had marijuana but if you go in there there's five thousand of ten thousand of us they can't
do anything I'm sitting there listening everybody was lighting up everybody and no
as the marijuana and then the next so then Elton John was playing about a month later
and I went to Elton John and well same thing and then Jimmy Buffett was playing you know I think
it was Jimmy Buffett and all of a sudden I swear he started the lights went on police came in
and they went down yeah and they just started resting everybody what I'm getting at is if you push
it and you push it and you start humiliating an authority and the law there's gonna be response
so I would remind our radical Islamic friends if they're our friends and they're not the radical
ones that are committing violent you keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it and you think
that Islamophobia is gonna help you when you say how dare you and you think another person like
George Casey is gonna pop up out of this military and say well you just shot 13 soldiers and killed
them and wounded 32 and I would be just as tragic if we lose our DE it's not gonna happen
it's not gonna happen you people have reached the breaking point and I wouldn't keep doing it
there's not going to be a lot of illegal immigration at least until the Democrats come back
and they're gonna be looking very carefully at legal immigration and I think they're gonna be
able to denaturalize some of these people who have been committing crime and so I wouldn't push it
I really wouldn't totally agree my friend we have a hard stop in a few minutes and I haven't
taken a break yet so we're gonna take a break and we'll kind of come back with one final question
for Victor and that's about the late Paul or look we'll do that when we come right back in these
messages since the founding of America 250 years ago many things have changed but some things
never do the commitment of husband and wife the importance of passing along our values to our
children the faithfulness of God some wonder how we can ensure America will continue to thrive
as long as we keep first things first we've only just begun America the beautiful
we're back with Victor Davis Hanson in his own words recording on Saturday the 21st this
episode is up on the 24th Victor I do have to ask you though if the little Victor crossed the
street to the market what candy was he getting in 1962 or whenever it was you remember that
is it called basuca a bubblegum yeah yeah and it had a little cut so you could break it off easily
and give it to your friends yeah you could split it down yeah yeah I would get that and then
but what we did was did you save the cut did you save them to try to send in to get in
no I never did but what we did is I won't mention his name because he became a police officer
but he was a great guy he would come to us and he'd say all the little farming
it was mostly Mexican-American group yeah this guy was not Mexican-American but there was about
20 farm kids and they were like you know you go up on a farm and you you don't cross
the street without asking everybody permission you know what I mean so we didn't
but this guy would come around say hey I need 10 cents I need five cents from
and I'm going down my market run and then he would go and come back with this big paper bag
and and give it to him but in those days there was something called accessory so then Mr.
Evans said and I want to reiterate that if anybody gives money and how someone do the buy in
for them and in our eyes they're just as guilty and then I remember all of us said oh man
and Mrs. Redner was Mrs. Wilson said that's called accessory and that is equivalent to the
crime itself you imagine a American graffiti remember asking the kid what hoping the guy would go
into liquor store and buy him booze it's a far cry from buying Victor a bubble gum but so be it
I know what I was guilty of giving time happier times so hey Victor we were supposed to have unhappy
times if Paul Ehrlich was going to be right he's he died a few down two weeks ago Professor Jason
Riley at the Wall Street Journal wrote a very interesting piece about him and here's what the
summation of it Jason writes making spectacularly wrong predictions of imminent catastrophe became
something of a habit for Ehrlich over the decades his dire forecast about global warming cooling
and warming were wide of the mark a two-fer he speculated that the US and Europe would be forced
to ration food encourage couples to limit themselves to one or two children in 1971 he said
that by the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished
islands inhabited by 70 million hungry people three years later he predicted America's economic
joyride is coming to an end that will be no more cheap food uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
there will be no more cheap abundant energy no more cheap and abundant food he was also very famous
for the population bomb but Victor I ask you this only because he is one of the remember is
big wager oh with Julian Simon yeah yeah he lost one of the famous experts and uh uh uh
of all and yet he's um I feel bad half of me follows that the Roman reminder
me he'll dig a nisi bonon day more to ease don't say anything except a good thing about the
recently departed however he was very provocative and he did a lot of damage he was the one that
told us as I remember in the populate you you can have one child but you have to adopt another one
and he he convinced and you saw that with AOC who said she's not having children because she's
doesn't want to bring them into a boiling planet and he's he was he was the first wave population
and then they said well it's more than population Paul it's also um environment
the green movement he had predated the green movement he lived up in San Francisco he was kind
of a cult figure as I remember and population bomb was gosh when I was in school in 1971 at UC
Santa everybody had it everybody had it was assigned in a couple of mandatory courses I had and it
was all he said that by 2000 Britain would be completely starving and it would have no food or
fuel and the scattered cars in all the time he was a popular figure he was a very photogenic he
was very well spoken he was very he was sort of a public intellectual he really was and he was
wrong he was all yeah he was a Carl Sagan he prototype and he he did a lot of damage and
just that I mentioned you see Santa Cruz that that was a crazy universe had just opened it was a
very good university but the people were completely insane in the early 70s where I went and I can
remember because the lake we're speaking about people who just perished died Caesar Chavez did
and I've talked about him elsewhere we can talk about him if you wish but I can remember the first
day I went to my dorm room at UC Santa Cruz Cal College and it was in September and we had picked
the raisins and when you pick 90% of the crop people miss some and then they get very sweet the
remaining buncher too so weak kids would always go through and get and these were not table grapes for
sale the big green ones they were the little yellow ones now they're very sweet yeah same species but
they have not been girdled or had gibberic acid put on them to pump them up people forget that
that those green grapes you buy in the store are not natural but yeah the little yellow ones are
and they make girdling yes and we made we made raisins so I bought some that I picked myself and I
brought in the next day my parent state we bought a I don't know what it was motel six we moved
all my stuff in my twin brother moved in he was in another college and then I was straight
it out and then the next day you could come so my dad you know you I think I told you we went
it went with me went in the shower and two people were fornicating in the nude and he said oh my
gosh and then he lent back against the picture of Jimmy Hendrix and almost fell through the wall
where they'd had a party and they kicked holes in all the sheet rock and then they put posters over
them but I went in there and then he left and I was all alone and I had my door open going and then
I had a table you could see and it had grapes and I I swear everybody that came by would stick
their head in are those grapes I said yes they're grapes what you're not allowed to have them here
I said their mind who picked them were they union and I said they're union because I picked them
and I own them and I picked them well you're part of the problem then you're one of the grower
the grower insects they're just doing this to Caesar and all of you I said no no that's in Delano
that's the table grape this is a complete this is a family small farm raising production not very
different and even the people in Delano the Jamera family the Zulums you name it all of them
were small they came from the depression with nothing they came from Italy they came from Serbia
they came a lot of them Zanavic Pando they came from Serbia Croatia and they were hardworking families
and you know Chavez basically said well I'm a nonviolent Christ like Gandhi figure you're all evil
and that spread to the Kennedys coming out there but all these students and they were all most
of them for Los Angeles they were very wealthy and I said have you ever picked grapes in your life
no have you ever been to a vineyard no do you think that Caesar Chavez is nonviolent yes I said he's not
they sabotage driveways with nails that they have sabotage shipments and when they swarm a field
they they use force they send people down to the border to stop the illegal aliens with force
it's high stakes unionization and it's an utterly corrupt union and it will not you know
and then this is before he went to Sinan and you played the game where he was using profanity
and force and using the Sinan thugs to enforce his own union I should have said and everybody was
everybody in these small farming communities would talk to workers that work that were not in the
union and they'd always say he's a communist not that he was I don't know whether he was or not
a socialist but they said there's things going on in that union you wouldn't believe and every once
while he'd fire they had a bunch of Anglo or whatever you want to call him white
college graduate socialist that were and then he would get rid of them all as disloyal then he
go down to to Hatchapy and his compound where he's buried today but my point is that nobody was
quite aware of it but it had permeated that he was doing things that you shouldn't be doing
and there were rumors and then it comes out 95-year-old Dolores Huerta says that she
fathered two children I think she was married to his brother too by Chavez DNA proved in there
in their 60s and didn't even know until recently and then she says she was raped forcibly
violently by him in a great field and then coerced in a hotel room and then we find out he groomed
two daughters of some of his advisors supporters and sexually groomed him there now
quite you know in their 70s I suppose and he was having inappropriate sexual abuse I don't know
what I don't want to know what happened and they were in preteens 812 and there are others
and he was a serial adulterer so he had this kind of angelic face I heard him in the park
in Salma he came in the 60s or 70s I went and listened to him first year in high school I think
and he was a saint everybody said he was saintly but he was doing things that if anybody else had
done them and it was known they the people around him knew what he was doing yeah and they didn't
say a word because they felt that Dolores Huerta they said to her why didn't you tell people he
was a rapist you could have helped well it was I had to save the cause that I had to help the union
so what happens with the left now the left is to establish that we don't judge people by the bad
and good you know unless you're left I mean Martin Luther King was a serial adulterer David
Geralt said he had over 40 lezzons and there was that Ralph Abernathy memoir where he said that
King watched a rape take place in a hotel room and might have egged on the rapist yeah and we said
St. America said well that was the evil part of him but he did a lot of good and he did a lot of
good so therefore the plus and minuses that's how we what we don't do that with somebody like
Robert E Lee we don't do it with somebody like Woodrow Wilson I'm not a big fan of him how about
Earl Warren they took his name off they raced it from Bold Hall he was a good he was a good man
he was a goodness private life I disagreed with him but he was he thought he was doing right but
they he was completely trotsky eyes so the left has this propensity and it's going to be very
interesting because when they get when they get into the situations where you can't character
somebody as an old white guy but one of the DEI brethren then you have a real problem and all
of a sudden Jack I walked for 20 years and there was a Caesar Chavez statue there's a memorial
garden at Cal State Fresno and there's Gandhi and Martin Luther King and they have a big black
tarp over it immediately and and the reason is is that he should have had Martin Luther King
exemption but he's in the intersectionality and one of the intersectionalities are women and
when they see coming out of the Epstein files and the me too years people are saying we don't
really care if you do this to women and so I think they're going to cancel Caesar Chavez day he's
at state holiday in California and they're going to call it farm workers day they're going to change
they have almost every single town over 30 40 thousand people has a Caesar Chavez building
or street yeah highway yeah I remember from my childhood is a Catholic that he
he came out of a hunger strike in the first thing he did was he had communion that was the first
and the Kennedys were involved in it and so yeah he had this I grew up on what was the Catholic
bishop from Fresno he was him Los Angeles he from Fresno he went to Los Angeles and he was
my mom yes he got in trouble himself remember later yeah he was alive he's a he's a bad egg yeah well
he would give lectures about the piety of Caesar Chavez he was the bishop here are not the bishop
I guess it might less important in the Fresno diocese than he went to Los Angeles but
he was a big advocate also of open borders which Chavez you know Chavez club club had people
be club and everything about it it was so strange because when he when there were rumors that he
was not nonviolent and his brother was in charge of the strong arm you know using violence
or when they were intimidate other workers or when he would say things like I hate growers
and then he you and then he got this synonym weird call and they were violent violent people
and they played these awful porn graphic oh not porn graphic but they get together and then
they scream in people and call use profanity and try to insult them and humiliate them
when he was doing all of this stuff and then the other dark side of the sexual perversion
you couldn't say anything he was he was sank he was sane and well me too has come for him
part of they fall feet of clay and it's just a reminder that nobody is exempt nobody nobody nobody
I said me too comes to resolve but God comes to resolve too so yes in fact we got
in this in a minute or two but I have a couple comments to read from so many folks thank you for
taking the time to to comment this one is from our bridges you nine m you're right I'm so glad
that people have been praying for you when I heard you were sick I was so scared I kept telling God
please don't let anything happen to him we need him right now you are love victor Davis Hansen
you're a love by God and you will love by all of us thank you thank a lot of people say things
just like that Raymond Layfield 2785 writes it's wonderful to have you back I grew up on the central
coast you are common sense your common sense approach to the issues is a breath of fresh air and
finally one from CSBN4UN I don't know what it stands for but victor have encouraged my grown
children and a number of teens to listen to your broadcast and consider your books as a Christmas
gift sent one of your books to a history loving and plants be a history teacher high school senior
you are among a very few who give such a good historical foundation for everything unfolding now
fits well into our homeschool years decades ago where I attempted with good materials and the
Bible to lay such a foundation which I had your publications in those years appreciate all of your
youtube videos but y'all are a great broadcast do always talking about you and the great
Sammy Wink also love your family history stories which weave into today's events in your life
so all to all to those and all else who who take the time and time yeah appreciate it I just
remind before we leave don't jump to conclusions we're witnessing a rare moment in history
haven't seen anything like this since the fall of the Soviet Union and the liberation of eastern
Europe from 89 to 91 and there are geos strategic political historical forces that play
whether it's in Venezuela or Cuba or Iran which involve the entire Middle East which
and die involve all of Latin America's future and they have a direct bearing whether by intent as
I suspect but by collateral effects on China and we don't know how it's going to end up but there
is a potential to remake the world as we knew it at least in the United States as we look out at
our neighbors in South America and the Caribbean and we look at the Middle East
it's it's it's a new world order I can get and yes and don't don't jump to conclusions that
it's over or we know what's going we don't know what's going to happen but
we are in the middle of a radical transformation if this all of these things play out
