And on the commemoration day, he will hand a pen to Mr. Kassim who will have been the attorney for one of the sponsors of terrorism that helped kill 3,000 people. Nobody would have imagined that.

1:11Hello and welcome. This is Victor Davis Hansen in his own words. This is our Friday news roundup and we've got lots on the agenda. So if we don't get finished here, we'll go to our Saturday show. We're going to start off with, of course, the 9-11, 8-9-11 commemoration by Victor. And then we'll look into politics with Canada, a little update. I know we've been talking a lot about that. And the Iran and an update on Iran and maybe the Ukraine. So stay with us for those stories and we'll be right back. Female athletes are being forced to compete against biological males sometimes without their consent or even their knowledge. In Washington, high school sophomore, Kallie Kieler was sexually assaulted on the wrestling mat during a tournament. Only afterward did she learn her opponent was a boy who identifies as a girl. With the help of Alliance defending freedom, Kallie is bravely suing the state over a policy

2:13that not only allows males to compete in girls' high school sports, but doesn't require schools to disclose that information to female athletes or their parents. Don't let schools put gender ideology over the safety of girls in sports. Your support today can help fight for Kallie and other athletes like her.

You can find him at his website, Victor Hansen.com. The name of the website is the blade of Perseus Police Come. Join us there. So Victor, before we get into anything I was wondering, I know your book just came out on Tuesday, October 8th.

3:20And I was wondering if we could have a little bit of an update on October. Oh, sorry, I'm already in October. Anyways, I was wondering a little bit of an update on. Well, it came out. I was very pleased. I did Mark Levin show Sunday on Fox. And he gave me a whole hour. And the president watched that and he tweeted a long tweet endorsement. And he said that the book knew as much about him as he did himself. It's kind of a nice thing to say in a way. And between those two appearances, it went to number one Sunday night on Amazon. And it's been one, I think, until this morning. It's two. So I owe a great deal of gratitude, not just to the president and Mark Levin. But I've been doing, I think I've done about 15 shows so far. So those hosts have been very kind. Today I did Ben Shapiro, Bill O'Reilly.

4:21I did Miranda D'Aven yesterday. I didn't make it in Kelly, etc, etc. And I think I owe a lot to the people listening because the people who took all that time to write cards about my health and emails are the kind. I think they're responsible for buying a lot of books. So, and it's, I was a little troubled because it was supposed to come out in March. And then I was ill. So they postponed it. And then I thought it would be dated. But I did write an epilogue getting up through June. But I think it might be valuable for the midterms. It gives you a different view from the media of what it's the fall and rise. It starts on January 6th and says, basically you're not going to believe what you're going to read. But this is what they did to him. And it was coordinated. And it was unprecedented. And every time they tried to destroy him, his polls went up. And this is what he did during the campaign.

5:23And this is what the Biden administration gave him as a gift being so inept. And the new radical socialist dash, Islamist, democratic party. And then it goes through the first two years, year and a half of his governance. Okay, Victor. So today is the 9-11. And it's the 25th anniversary of 9-11. And I know that we've been watching New York and Mondami. And there are a lot of people who are not happy. Mondami is might come to ceremonies commemorating those who died on 9-11. I was wondering if you could give us a commemoration, the 9-11 itself. And then address the controversy going on in New York. Well, we hadn't done anything to them. In fact, you could make the argument under the Clinton administration. This is 25 years ago. So 2001, we were still in the shadow of eight years of Bill Clinton.

6:26And they had bombed our embassies, for example. And they had done other stuff all over the world. And we hadn't done much. So they were emboldened and thought they really did believe one of two things and probably both. We would not reply and try to go after them in Afghanistan, which we drove them out. And then we destroyed the Taliban for 15 years. And we would, we moved one of the great sponsors of terrorism, Saddam Hussein. And they didn't believe that would happen. And more importantly, they thought that people would rally to their cause in the Arab world. And that didn't happen either. So their plans failed. Everybody said, I went back today and looked at what people were saying 25 years ago. And they all said that a second attack of that magnitude, it was not a question of if, but only when. And that did not happen. And that was because for all the criticism of George W. Bush, he did clamp down on global terrorism.

7:32And for all the problems with homeland security and all of the bureaucratic stuff, we didn't not, we had a lot of terrorism incidents, but not anything of that magnitude. It did change our lives. You can't go to an airport and think even remember what it was like 25 years prior to this. It changed everything. The only moment that I have. And I think a lot of our listeners share it. If you had said after 9-11, 25 years from now, you will have a socialist instead of Rudy Giuliani or someone like him in New York, instead of all those fire guys risking their lives in YPD, you're going to have a guy who hates them. And he's going to be a Muslim radical and he's going to represent the new socialist democratic party and Islamist. And he's going to announce he will confiscate private property of landlords he doesn't like. And on the commemoration day, 25 years from now, he will be mayor and he will hand a pin that he signed the proclamation of observance for 9-11.

8:4225 years earlier. And by the way, he was in Uganda as a settler colonialist with the 1% Indian community that was running 65% of the wealth up in his Victoria state. So he comes over here and he will hand the pin as a gift to Mr. Cossum, who's standing to his left. And Mr. Cossum will have been the attorney for one of the hijackers that help kill 3,000 people. And in addition to that, he will, in addition to that, he will hand the pin not to Mr. Cossum, but take the iconic head, the commissioner of the NYPD. And almost as a little servant who was the only Jewish member of his inner cabinet that he inherited, the commissioner, Ms. Tish, who is a very capable servant.

9:46She's the utmost professionality. She's wonderful. And she's in a beleaguered sense because this guy ran on the NYPD kills people and it's got its all control. And it should be defunded. So then she has to hand this pin to somebody who's an anti-Semite and tried to qualify this horrible day on 9-11 by defending one of the hijackers in his family. So that's where we are now. Nobody would have imagined that, but that's where we are. And we're up to a midterms. And if you had said, as we'd watched those brave people trying to determine whether they should be burned alive, are smashed into smithereens and they dived headfirst from the world trade. And if you'd said to them why they're falling in 25 years, there'll be a Mr. L. Syed and he will be running ahead in Michigan for Senate. And he will have with him on the campaign trail and associate as will Montgomery, Hassan Piker, who said that you, you who are falling in the air deserve this. You deserved it and your country deserved it.

11:06I never thought I could imagine that. And what is the reason for that? And very briefly, what is the problem with Europe? What is the problem with Canada? Why did we have this problem with these? And I'm not a nativeist. I'm not a protectionist, but it's immigration, both legal and illegal. And because we did not vet immigrants, we gave them a blank check to come in. We have 53 million people who were not more in the United States and we don't know who they are. And we have an additional of that 53 million, at least 25 to 30 million are here illegally. And they're coming from the poorest regions of Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. And since 9-11, we've had about 4 million people come from the Middle East. And they don't like us. And they are responsible not only for the American people, but for the American people. Not because of colonialism or American, they allow their countries to be socialist communists and they failed. And then they went over here. And they're in Canada.

12:1645% as I said, of the Canadian population either was not born in Canada or their parents were not born. And they were used by the left as useful idiots and let in by the left in exchange for pushing a leftist communist agenda. So when you look at the people right now as we head to the midterms who were the most vocal, they weren't even here. And their parents weren't even here during 9-11. And they haven't made no effort to learn what 9-11 was or they wouldn't say stupid things. If you ask them what was the Korean War about? How many people died on D-Day? What was freedom of fear speech by FDR? What was the Gettysburg address? They have no interest. Not that they don't know anything about our history or a product. They don't care. I'm talking about you, Ilya and Omar and said 9-11. Something happened on 9-11. Yeah, it did. Muslims of your brand came over here and slaughtered 3,000 people. You think it's a joke. And then you see Mondami, a radical. And then you haven't miss Kuros comes over here from a completely failed state and wins the lottery to come into the United States with their parents.

13:37And now says that we owe black people as herself reparations. You can be in a state like California, no history of slavery. Nobody is alive for five generations who was a slave. Nobody is alive in California that ever had relatives that were slave owners. The so-called white populations, 35% of the population, 35% of the state. And she's calling for reparations. And they're calling it in California. And you look at all of them, El Sayed. He doesn't want to admit that he's bragging about Sharia law. He was at a campaign event where one of the E-MOMs said he wanted to fight United States. He hates the United States. And he's had Hassan Piker all through him. Hopensan Piker just worried just warring the Jews. Here's the second generation American who's a multi-millionaire Turk, Turkey's family. He says, hey, you Jews, you keep pushing Israel. We're going to come out to people are going to come out to you. So that's where we are. And I never thought it would happen.

14:41No, me neither. It seems we're at a critical moment in our history once again, in fact. We should remember that when the midterms, when they said, I'm not, I can't go for Trump. He said, he said, new America and Lake, Lake America. I can't do that. Why would he do that? Well, he did that. Maybe you disagree or not, but you do not disagree what he did at the border. And what he is trying to do to deport some of these people who came in here illegally and kill people or hate and want to damage the United States. For that one reason, that one issue they should vote for. Yeah. You're reminding me of that interview that Elon must did with that reporter who was talking about him, cosying up to the quote far right. And he said, I want to, I want to have a beef with you and the media. What is it that you have against secure borders, safe cities and freedom of capital, I can't remember what he said, but nonetheless, she just looks at him. He's labeled that far right.

15:44She either didn't even know when she was melting that or she couldn't say what she knew and what she said is, well, we have an agenda that nobody wants. Nobody wants our transit agenda. Nobody wants our defund the police. So we have to bring in new constituents. So we open the border. We got 12 million people. We have 30 here. So we have 42 30 or 40 million illegal lands, maybe, and they're going to be good loyal Democrats, especially under mail and ballot. So take that. That's what they're saying to us. We hate your country. We hate the country. We want to, we imagine that that's what the terms we imagine. Same thing Canada is even worse. It only has 41 million people. And about 18 million of them are not born in Canada. Their parents weren't born. And they're from, and they don't have a capitalist economy that can create goods and services to pay the enormous tab for welfare. And that's one of the subtext of Mr. Carney's fantasy house.

16:47All right, Victor. So when you were commemorating 9-11, you made reference to a thing we none of us should ever forget, which is the people that were on the top of those trade towers and couldn't get down and they were making the decision between being burned to death and jumping hundreds of feet down. And that's a gruesome image. There's also another gruesome image these days, and it is with that trial of Lindsey Clancy, which met as a mistrial as everybody probably knows. But the some jurors have come out to discuss what went on in the juror room and they said, you know, things, he, the one juror was very disconcerting. He finally understood having a reasonable doubt. And then they said this, and this is what they're getting a lot of play. The juror said, but I didn't understand because the guy, he had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children.

17:55That was his a mind boggling statement because they heard a lot of the jurors. They were all therapeutic. He wasn't kind. He didn't worry. He didn't think about what her. She's going through. And I can tell you that there was already another copycat killing where a woman just killed her child, hung him, hung them. And when American sniper Kyle, when he, when he was killed by somebody who was trying to help, who was traumatized, here's a hero Iraq. He took this disturbed. And I can tell you that I'm not making I'm not deprecating postpartum depression, but it's not the same as going over to Iraq. I went to Iraq twice as an embedded reporter. I can tell you it's not the same. And this distressed traumatized guy, we paid the magnum entity of these are American sniper hero.

19:04And he shot him and killed him. And then he pleaded, well, I was disturbed. And a text of stury said, you were disturbed. Yes, you were. And you were traumatized. Yes, you were. And so we're 30, 40, 50,000 others that came over, but they don't shoot and murder their friend right next to them. And you did. So we're going to convict you of murder. And he is sitting in a state prison right now as I speak. And you would you think, well, there are a lot of vets that were outside the courtroom and said, this is terrible. We all suffer post. This is terrible. He's our hero and not worry about the two people he butchered. No, there wasn't. So there's a sickness with this young generation of women and men. This is a Luigi Mangione. This is this new song on the internet were a woman has a million views.

20:05This wrote on young woman and she's play acting and what a song about killing Charlie Kirk and how happy she is. And then she puts the her finger to that her jugular vein and starts pulling the trigger. And this is great. This is Hassan Parker leading a cheer about his death. This is Luigi only getting a musical. It's the same concept of these young completely arrogant and ignorant generation that want to virtue signal their carrying or their performance are pity or they know that deep down inside they would not want to be a child and have the mother that they we all love and say over here and then see her strangle your older sibling and then strangle you and then look at a baby who's next and do this methodically, methodically and preplanned and then said, I was depressed. I was depressed. I had postpartum depression and I had too many. I have had problems after my surgery. I could not sleep because of all the drugs. They gave me 50 different drugs and I had two huge incisions one for our operation another four. I had a fifth. I had anemia. I had I couldn't I'd lost for did I ever say well I took a.

21:28I could and they gave me and it must have you know they gave me a shot in the I think it was a kind of like an oxy cotton shot and I just freaked out. No no I didn't some there were days in the hospital I didn't even remember what the surgeon told me. But that's no excuse to do something. And so millions of women have burst all over the United States every in the Western him in the world every year and they don't go out and kill their children. And yet they were trying to make sure that she doesn't have to account for that fact. And then they think the second thing they were all saying well she fell out of the balcony she fell 13 feet she jumped out so she kind of already did her her okay so every time you got somebody who murders three people and they're going to prison or right before their sentence I said well I'm going to jump out my window and I'll probably be parallel that means I don't have to go to prison I can stay home no no there's something called deterrence and for all you young men out there who were having a

22:37problem as part of the lost generation mostly of white males and you're bitter that you've been passed over for affirmative action reasons or DI and your degree is no good and you don't want to be an electrician or a plumber and you're in your basement of your parents proverbially and you're playing video games and you're not going to get married you don't want the responsibility you don't want to have be a father. You better be very careful when you date one of these types of women you should ask them when you're dating what do you feel about the classic case and if she said well I really feel sorry would you want to have children with that woman because she's basically saying she's sanctioning the killing of three people. And then you know and so there this act and the way that feminists reacted to it is only going to further polarize the sexes and the key subtext of this whole debate was that the husband and now there's a conspiracy theory that he was involved I don't know if Candace is on that yet or not.

23:43But that the male is not doesn't have any say he had no role in the procreation because the woman bears a child and therefore it's a hundred percent her her her her not the husband we don't know anything about him but we don't even think well he loved these children and he was raising them and you deprived him of his own children. We don't even think about that. Yeah. Victor we welcome back a sponsor allegiance gold if you studied enough history you start to see a pattern nations don't lose their way overnight they drift through debt and division until one day you realize the foundations you thought were permanent were never permanent at all today America is spending at levels once reserved for wartime we've normalized deficits that would have stunned earlier generations and policy makers now debate. Whether the only path forward is more intervention more printing more distortion but here's the historical truth every society that pushes its currency beyond discipline eventually paid a price the wise never waited for collapse they prepared for the correction that's why so many Americans especially those near any retirement or in retirement are reallocating part of their wealth into something that has out lasted every paper experiment in human history physical gold not as well as the history of the world.

25:06Gold not as speculation but as insulation our reputation matters here which is why we've partnered with a legion school they company distinguish by integrity reliability and in a plus rating with the better business bureau for years they've got it Americans through transparent education and long standing relationships built on trust right now they're extending a special liberty offer to our listeners to help you get started with real gold whether your funds are in the middle of the world. Your funds are in a retirement account or sitting in the bank if you believe as we do that the best time to reinforce your position is before the storm becomes obvious call 844 790 9191 that's 844 790 9191 or visit protect with victor dot com again that's 844 790 9191 844 790 9191 9191 9191 or a hundred of the time that's a lot of time to get into a second time we're going to the next level of our work. Before visit protect with victor dot com history rewards those who take the long view and we'd like to thank a legion school for sponsoring victor Davis Hanson in his own words so I just want to say one other thing that's sort of on my mind and that is that isn't it strange that it's in New York that we get a Muslim mayor who seems to be on the side of the attackers before on the side of the victims of 9191

26:35and in Massachusetts where 11 don't consider seriously the deaths of three very young children over the if you mean they're the blue state model yes yeah the blue state model is in full full failure it's in full as a full fall it's just collapsing in Chicago there were 38 people who were shot this last weekend the mayor couldn't say anything because he believes it's all due to racism and the more that he has said there won't be any white people in the urban the city municipal administration it's all black everybody is black in Chicago that runs the city so we can't blame anybody but he's still blaming white supremacy and so it's a complete disaster in Chicago it's the most violent city in the world and not in the world but the United States close to the world so these states California for California is it's we just heard this week that money that was allotted for moving expenses and temporary rent for the palisades victims of the fire was tapped by Karen bass and half of the 10 million went to illegal aliens so they really do privilege that's not a talking point on the right they do privilege illegal aliens more than they do US citizens

28:04and then the second story was that allegedly as this happened in Australia New Zealand a lot of places around the world when there are natural disasters are depressed prices the Chinese come in and they buy up lots and then they work behind the scenes to have them rezone for high density high rises like in China so they can bring people over and rent them I was in a apartment building a high rise for 10 years in Palo Alto and it was least I paid through the Hoover institution leased it so they had a long-term lease it's 20 year I think it was a 20 year lease and the Chinese company bought it and they they they hadn't done they did no maintenance so and then they went to people and tried to buy out their rent and there was only I think I was the last person that they could not get out and they made it they were if I called up and said the garbage is full they wouldn't come there the management and so there are whole ideas we want to renovate the whole thing and then charge rent either for americans are bring Chinese students and scholars here and that's what they're doing that that's what they want to do and put the palisades they hate the palisades because it was one of the most beautiful one quarter one acre lot places picture us beautifully landscape that those

29:32human ask houses you know their white plaster tile roofs three or four or five thousand square feet and larger handed down from father to son or daughter there were people living there for four or five generations it was classical L.A. and they we zined that so much who those wealthy white people in the privilege and now it's gone we're going to make sure they don't ever get that again I mean the left wing yes yes the left wing all right victor so let's turn to canada I know we've had a lot on canada lately I think the most recent thing is trump has forbidden the importing of particular products dairy being among some of those products from canada so right now he's deep in a war it's becoming a farce stage one was trump is picking on canada again so carney I had to walk out at the 11th hour because he wanted to strip us of our sovereignty and he wanted to squash the French and indigenous cultures of Canada so you would do now all you people here's a subtext all you people in Alberta and all you people in Quebec you you're voting on autonomy no no no we're all Canadians we're against this horrible United States

30:51so we're bullying them at sporting events and we have signs up when you come across a border we're not your 51 states be polite and we're elbows up we're like hockey players and so he whipped up that national fervor and he didn't really tell him so then there's a few skeptics you can find online and they would say things like wow that's true a if that's true man if that a if that's true we least a transcript so we can know why you walked out at the 11th hour why did you because we're going to lose our sovereignty but the Americans say that the Chinese were going to dump cheap below the cost of production aluminum and steel so we would fabricate cars and appliances and send it in here so that they would undercut Americans and destroy their tariff and then no company in the world pays 5% on top of the income tax just so they can promote

31:51what indigenous language on Facebook we don't do that we don't have the Canadian broadcasting company when they broadcast across the border they have to say well you have to have Swedish content so it was it was completely not spoken about and he was going along you said I'm the hero and all the Europeans were clapping of course they they all cut deals what he didn't tell the Canadians are of all the people who were running surplus and all of that there were only two who retaliated against the United States because they all knew they had it good and they were taking advantage of us and it was communist China and Canada and they were offered the best only three countries had the deal they had they can come in without a visa only three countries enjoy that they had the lowest tariffs he didn't tell them any that and then he he said it we're going well don't worry we're going to really so we're going to go into West

32:55Conson and North and South Dakota and Minnesota Michigan and the upper state New York and the New England and we're going to target Americans products these states have 60 70% exports to Canada they're there we're going to really make them pay and red states especially so when these midterms because he said Canada should be the 51st state that was an interference no it wasn't it was a meme meme so he's saying I'm going to interfere in their midterms and I'll play him back you're sitting here watching this and you think what is this imaginary him that you live in what is the dream house you idiot you're a globalist with three passports until you became premier you were citizen of Ireland you were citizen of the UK you were a globalist bank of England guy you still have your associations with these transnational companies that have no allegiance

34:00and you're 95% of your stock portfolio is in the United States that you're demonizing and two of your four children went to Harvard and Yale and they're living in the United States and you lived in the United States and you have property in the United States and you're telling Canada to war on the United States when its population is nine times larger and its economy per capita GDP is 13 times larger and you represent 10% of all of their imports and they represent 75% of all your exports and you want to wage war with a guy like Trump and you think he's going to back down he just slout more tariffs if this continues they're going to be two to three million jobs lost in Canada already they've lost 40,000 and there's no way out of it for them because he's a hero now to everybody in the world he thinks and his mind he's a hero legend his own mind and he keeps talking about but he every time he's asked

35:03would you just prime when you just tell us what happened that on a Friday afternoon when you agreed to the deal why did you back out what were the issues because your explanations of sovereignty and indigenous French culture and it doesn't ring true we've heard both sides so what was there has to be something and he can't say well there was something I wanted to drum up left-wing nationalism which is hard to do when you have 45% of the country was not born in Canada or their parents weren't born I wanted to drum it up so that the Alberta people and the Quebec people would not vote to be autonomous and online Canada and it worked everybody loves me now and we all hate America and then you think you're going to and he said we can keep matching them we have we're 360 million people you idiot and there's 250,000 Canadians Canadian residents that are Americans

36:07think of that you're only 41 million but one million of them you live in the United States all Trump would have to do is say from now on you're going to have to visa we're going to have and we'll let our 250 Americans suffer a little bit but your million candidate was the larger percentage of your population we'll have to go if you really want to make this go to crazy insane links and so the other subtext very quickly is why is he doing why are the Canadians doing this they've got they've got the fifth fourth largest oil reserve the tar sound oil and they've been lying about that they said we were going to shut that pop pipeline down okay shut it down and we're pumping 95% it was self-sufficient we just won't import because you'll shut it down but then you can what pipe it to Quebec you can't why because the pipeline to Quebec is in the United States because you

37:09won't allow pipelines very easily to be built between provinces in your green fantasies so that the other subtext is if you have a country that has a socialist command economy and a nationalized health system and they're all utility everything are nationalized and you have high taxes and a lot of regulations and you have an enormous tab now to pay for 45 percent it's about 18 million out of 40 million don't have enough money for housing education food legal you know health care all of that because you brought them in without audit in mass from Asia from Africa from the western him Latin speaking Spanish speaking and they're all there now and they're all leftist and they want free stuff and you can't do it and because you can't do that then you want to be subsidized by whom us so you don't want you want to welch on your 2% defense and you're

38:16going to say wait a minute we have 79 jets F 18s yes they're 45 years older we have 5,000 aircraft yeah but we have the Canadian neighborhood it was number four in the world and yes it was it was very impressive when we admired you but now you have about 30 ships of any size and if the Russians tomorrow want to steam through the northwest passage to see where they can go or the Chinese or a Chinese icebreaker goes to the Arctic and plants a flag where your little Canadian sphere is or if crazy Kim Jong Un wants to send a rocket to scare you into Canadian airsprays who stops that who sends up the Air Force to intercept their jets who sends up a ballistic missile who sends it's frigates 10 20 of them to stop those people from getting into North America and see a United States because we subsidize you we we have spent between three and four and a half percent on GDP the last 15 years if you look at what Europe and Canada have spent it's a seven

39:21trillion dollar shortfall we have spent seven trillion dollars more on defense over the last decade and a half than they have and that means why did we do that because we're not threatened in North America we did that because we have global responsibilities and we protect them but if they want to go alone and say we don't need you elbows up we're going to build 25 icebreakers and we're going to build two fleet carriers nuclear fleet carriers and we're going to we're going to get 1500 typhoon jets and Raphael's from the French and we're going to spend I don't know 5% GDP even if they wanted to they couldn't give them their social welfare and their stagnant also fight a count and so the final thing is they're they hate Trump but let me ask them very carefully if you're a Canadian misneme did Trump say to you don't make pipelines to Quebec from Alberta did Trump say to you I think we really want to destroy you and we don't like you so you

40:25should let you should have 45% non indigenous Canadians as your population did he really think he said we want you to be so weak you're so dependent don't spend 2% on your defense he can't do that can you have to rely on us and did he say you know I want you to be big hypocrites I want you to hate us and then have a million of you come over here and I want your prime minister to have 95% of his assets he didn't do any of that he did just the opposite he said I want you to be strong I want you to be wealthy I want you to close your borders I want you to have a command I don't want you to have a command I want a free market private property non-socialized country and you can say all you want yay man we're much more you mean we don't have your buy yes that's true although there's just as many I've been to Montreal Toronto Vancouver Victoria and I saw a lot of homeless people trust me and I didn't and I saw something else the last 10 years the Canada

41:30that I first went to Calgary 20 years ago that level of affluence is banished if they were a state they would be pretty low ranking in America our GDP per capita GDP is up to about 96,000 and there but I don't even know if there's 60,000 that wasn't always true when I was growing up the Canadian dollar was worth more than our dollar and it's sad Canada has changed and maybe we could say Trump should cut them loose I don't know I like Canadians and I want to be strong and instead of maybe they can rename their national anthem said oh Canada maybe it could be oh no Canada let's sing oh no Canada or maybe Canada we hardly knew you yeah yeah we have no problem distinguishing between the government and the individuals of Canadian individuals Canadians people who voted for this government were not even in Canada 20 years ago they imported all

42:31these people they have something called the centennial initiative and their plan is within a few decades to have a hundred million Canadians because like all Western offluent societies their fertility rates low like 1.3 something and they want to import the poor third world people in here when I say they it's not the majority of indigenous Canadians it's the left and the coalition with immigrants this 18 million people that came in the last 20 25 years they want more of them and I don't understand the immigrants I did I cannot figure it out I mean Ilean on our was she to leave Ilean Omar Mondami AOC she her parents came from her dad from Puerto Rico Mondami from Uganda Ilean Omar from Somalia we she did to leave from the West Bank L.S.I.E from Egypt Hassan Pike I bend to those places except for you got they're not nice places and why would you come over here

47:39and was a bully and he thought this other person was not very a droid and the person was really skilled and started beating the blank blank blank blank out of him but the person who was getting beat up said i'm gonna hit you again i'm gonna kick your blank i'm gonna i'm gonna come after you tomorrow but he was so beaten up and every time he got worse and worse he started melting up and the guy just kept doing it and finally people intervened that's a ran i mean they loot these things cost some of these huge tankers cost half a billion dollars so we probably just wiped out two billion dollars of their reserve tanker fleet which they were floating around so that they fill them up with oil and then they kind of drip them out at night and then the chinese hook up with them on the seas outside the street and they sent all these missiles take this take that and then we sharpened out or the jordanians did so they can't do anything

48:43and you know i i i did a lot of interviews on the book and i won't mention names but there was a couple of people i think are they really do believe the war is lost on the concern and that it destroyed Donald Trump and it alone accounts for the midterm problem because of gas there's an argument you can make to that but this is a unique war we don't know this is the first war in my life that we have even in the sirbia bombing it was a western country and there were western journalists in there on the ground even in the libyia bombing under Obama there were even al jazeera with there were people in there there are no western media in Iran right now and all we're getting is the propaganda from the state ministry of information in Iran there's no us ground troops we know of there's no embedded reporters not like Afghanistan and we only get phone calls to relatives from Iranians and the they they tracked that

49:50they have the electronics so that anybody who phones to a foreign country the islamic revolutionary guards shows up at their door and people have said i talked to a high administrative station official not too long ago and he said the following we think 45,000 were killed initially and and we think there's been another 30,000 killed by night so so we don't know what's going on but it does seem given they can't sell oil they can't import any i live on a farm right here if you said to me tomorrow i can't get a part for the pump or the sprinkler system or broken pipe from amazon or can't go and get one i could tell you that i don't think this place would function and they're not getting any repair parts and the food they're getting no imported food so and we we can do anything we want so we hit car guideline and so i

50:51guess they're going to say they've lost both limbs and both their legs and now they're going to just roll on the floor and say we're going to get you again and trump will say okay we're going to take out two of your power grids and they'll probably say well they'll save us oil we don't have to run them some crazy thing like that because they're insane but this raises a very interesting question i brought it up on these two podcasts and i didn't get a very warm i said when the Berlin wall fell all of those eastern europe countries took up three to six months and when it took Russia two years so when we hit around after the demonstrations it's been almost six months right so i would say there's a 30% chance that we're going to wake up one morning and these people are almost near starving and they have nothing to lose they were reports today that they're going

51:51into food markets and they have no money it's worthless and just taking food and the revolutionary guard camp be everywhere if everybody start that breakdown in society and then they know if we were a droid and we keep telling them if you can get rid of this government you're going to be flooded with international aid you're going to have oil everywhere you're going to have international companies don't want to help you we're going to do everything to make you a liberal western consensual government liberal in the sense of freedom not politics and the Gulf states will be ecstatic and Egypt will be ecstatic and the Israelis will be everybody it'll change it to this is the most it's more consequential than flipping venezuela but flipping venezuela already set set off a chain so that when you looked at Latin America of the 32 nations when Trump came in the vast majority were communist or anti-american now only four or five are

52:55and that'll be even more dramatic so what I'm getting now is everybody says the Republicans are lost and then all of a sudden we wake up one morning let's say on I don't know October 6th and all of a sudden there's a million Iranians out in the street and they're chasing everybody every revolutionary guard person every guard post and then we're dropping food and arms to them by air and they they get rid of the thing what would happen well all of a sudden people would say you mean Donald Trump changed the entire Middle East when no president who promised that they would stop that nuclear acquisition seven different presidents didn't do anything and he risked that in an election year right before the midterms and everybody turned on him and his poles were low and now the whole world is changing and oil will be if they liberate Iran and the Russian war stops with increased venezuela and oil increased

54:02American oil and Canada says it's going to pump more you're going to have oil down to 50 bucks of a barrel so what I'm telling everybody who's listening it's not set in stone they're going to lose the midterm history says they are 39 now the last 41 elections says they are the polls say they are but the polls said that al-said was going to win by 10 points he won by one the polls said that crazy hung woman and Wisconsin was going to win she didn't even get close so I don't believe Tallahuree goes up by five I really don't and I saw what they did with Trump polls the the Democrats and the left use polls to create donations and to create political momentum and so I don't know what the situation is but it's not over yet is what I'm saying one thing the Republicans and I'll stop on this topic one thing they need to do they have to have a three-pronged strategy I hope

55:05they do it at the convention number one is this is what we are doing now this is what we are doing right now we closed the border it was not closed when we came here there was 10,000 people you want 10,000 people a day we closed it we have the lowest crime rate in 70 years there are no subsidized inefficient new green deal thing we are pumping more gas and oil than in any country in the history of civilization we have changed the entire western hemisphere the only holdouts are Nicaragua and Cuba Paraguay maybe Mexico but those governments that are left are not stable but the whole continent now is pro capitalism pro democracy pro-American a large part of Marco Rubio there are no Chinese at the Panama Canal with their grandiose plans to take it or Venezuela look at the Middle

56:08East there are no Russians there there's no Russians in Syria there's no Russians in Iran all the foreigners are gone when you look at Europe they are scrambling as fast as they can to meet not just their 2% which none of them except 6 had met but they're 3 and 4% defense cable who did that we did Trump can say so that's what we've done next thing is this is an existential test everything I just said there they opposite if you vote for them you're going to get a defunding of ice and you're going to try to open the border and they're going to they love 10,000 people coming across with no vaccination no audit nothing you're worried about measles you're worried about mumps you're worried about all these things you can blame on RFK yeah you blame on RFK well bring people from all over the world with no background check and see what happens and then

57:09they're going to say there these people will start trying to defund the police they will defund ice and let it go they will cut the Obama cut the defensive budget a hundred billion dollar they will cut the defense budget they will raise taxes we already have 37 they will go higher and higher they will bring back wind and solar and culturally they're going to bring back DEI they're going to have racial quotas again and they're going to discriminate against people based on their appearance and you're going to have George Floyd type of hysteria's on steroids that's what they represent that's the second thing they need to do they should run commercials as I said here's all these iconic events in America that made us unique and then here's what they want and just show pictures of the 2020 riots and Karen Bass press conference and L. Syed saying 9-11 was our fault and excuse me Hassan Piker L. Syed his clip about Shereel on be careful about saying

58:14it was good that we got rid of the supreme leader and all that stuff then the third thing and this is what we can do in two years if you give us a chance we can really really change the country we are leading an AI genetic engineering bioengineering satellite launches space exploration software eight nine out of the top 10 companies are America because we created the conditions for them to foster and we protect them from people like Canada it's trying to slap surcharges our Europeans and that would be a powerful message three prong what we did what the alternative was and what we plan to do and I don't know why they haven't done that I really it's just mystifying to me one of the things they got caught up in I'll just finish with this under Biden we had an aggregate 21% almost in inflation so over four years it averaged a little over 5% 5.1 5.2% in staples like insurance cars major appliances rent fuel food it was 30%

59:24so when they came in they didn't they said we're going to lower inflation what they meant was the rate of inflation so the first year it went from an average of 5.1 to 1.9 even now without gogaz it's probably not going to go with three it's not the average of Biden so they didn't say we're going to slash the inflation rate under Biden by half and we're going to do that in two years and then we're going to get it lower and lower and lower and we'll try to bring up but instead everybody said well we're paying 21% more on everything and 30 on the key things than we did in 2020 mr. Trump and you said you were going to lower inflation why don't you lower 30% and they didn't explain to the American people they didn't say are you crazy how can you in one and a half year cut one third off the price of everything when they took four years and blew through seven trillion dollars and gave money to stuff and subsidized stuff and made competition hard

1:00:29and drain the petroleum reserve by you know half of it's gone we can't do that we lower the rate of inflation we'll try to lower it even more and with wages will catch up and we can erase that but it'll take time yeah but now when they say oh we're for affordability no you're not these Democrats left you are for unaffordable if you look at a house ownership it's still 62 to 63 it hasn't gone down from historical norms if you look at labor participation it's still 62 or 63 percent just like it always was so all of this stuff is being spread around and nobody's challenging it partly because people on the right are are a few on the right are they've joined the left Tucker is and is endorsing L.C.E over microagert yeah isn't that crazy Victor let's take a break and then come back and talk a little bit more about Tucker stay with us so we'll be right back every

1:01:29state is home to significant historic sites that tell the American story but not every site is telling that story honestly and fairly that's why the Heritage Foundation created the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites this interactive guide equips American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our nation's history analyzing them for historical accuracy and provides resources for families or educators planning a visit for mountain Vernon to independence hall to get Eastburg and more Americans deserve transparency and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation whether it's across the country or in your backyard visit historic sites dot heritage dot org to start your adventure today welcome back Victor Davis Hanson in his own words we are a subsidiary of

1:02:31the daily signal and you can find uh shorts that Victor does for the daily signal in particular on at the daily signal and other conservative contents so I highly encourage everybody to go to the daily signal uh Victor he was speaking of Tucker I don't know if he had more to say on his um joining the L Said supporters but there's another thing about Tucker he recently had an interview and it was a guy on but they were talking about math and he said he was a potter oh wow and he was talking about math and algebra in particular and he said algebra is fake math and it's not and basically implied that it was unnecessary and which you know anybody who does anything on a daily basis knows that their brain is always working in an algebraic fashion I don't know any men I watch that and this potter says well I build kill kill him and I build an arch and I don't ever use

1:03:36algebra thinking yes you don't but if you use machines and electric motors there is variables and physicists and engineers use letters to create formulas and then they plug into the variable various numbers to see which make it more efficient so that's what algebra does it creates mathematical formulations and you see on every movie when somebody goes on the chalkboard and he says this explains cold fusion there's all these letters and and what he's saying is these were the variables that we have to plug in and see what happens and and those are unknown but it allows you to get a system in which you can put non quantities in for the letter and then Tucker's listening and then the guy says and I guess it was just part of the the effort to full the goi slaves so then you think oh wow we're back to Tucker excuse me who are the goi the goi is a word that is

1:04:43used historically by the Jewish community to denote people who are not Jewish a lot of countries Japan has a term for non-Japan culture that is uniform religious or ethnic when I grew up I dated a very beautiful woman I thought she was in high school but I was not Armenian so I was known as the Odar they had for anybody could be any they were Odars yes but the guy used goi out of the Jewish tradition rather than something out of the Japanese tradition or the Armenian tradition so they basically he was saying that the Jews foisted algebra to hurt us because it's worthless and it was a Jewish thing and then when you look at the I mean algebra come on if you look at algebra is an Arabic translation and it draws on Arab mathematics of the 10th 12th centuries it

1:05:49goes back before that to Persian mathematics and India contributed the idea of you know I think zero and the Arabs did it too and and it's in I can tell you if you read Euclid or classical mathematics they have letters in there so it is a multi cultural phenomenon in every major culture either independently or cross fertilization wise they knew that you get to build a sophisticated pyramid and set of a a pottery kiln you need variables to try out different formulas and Tucker was just smiling wow he said the word about Jews that's what I was waiting for that it was a Jewish conspiracy and I don't know what's happened to him but I was giving I had an interview with Miranda divine who might admire a great deal we were talking about this why did why would people

1:06:49like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey or Tucker who were so complimentary of Trump and they were at Marlago all the time and they were on Air Force one and they campaigned with them and I suggested that that sense of intimacy as I've said before they felt that they were more important or essential to nobody's essential to Trump nobody is nobody's essential to anyone no one's essential to anyone so they were calling them Trump said I should cause me up four or five times a day and Tucker said well I campaigned with him so what so you you got the treat to write on Air Force one and you got to go to Marlago and you probably stayed in the Lincoln bedroom and you thought you could get on the phone and say hey it's a dumb idea to Iran and then you'd go have coffee with your buddies and say I'm not gonna go to Iran I told them it's a dumb idea it doesn't work that way and then they got disappointed he didn't listen to me

1:07:51didn't he know that the Jews had this is Marjorie Taylor Greene that Epstein was a Jew and he's all these uh sex stuff that they were brought the Jews were doing the Mossad this is what they both said and he just said what are the blank you talking about just hang up I don't want to talk to you and they go I hate him and that's what they they did I really do believe that because on all of the issues that we heard from all of them for years close the border tough police reduce crime build up the military I the only two things I can think that they had legitimate they thought they disagreed with using force Iran but there were no ground troops and it's not gonna be a forever endless war it's gonna be six or seven months it's over with so I don't I don't know what the beef was other than their eagles were bruised all right Victor we're coming to a hard break so I want to turn to the comments at the end of our show uh the first one I'll read the

1:08:55nice one first and then the second challenging one second uh John Moore says I did I didn't realize you were sick I'm very very happy you kicked deaths a s s sorry for the language he's always on our shoulder I just threw him off for a while to get off my shoulder all right sorry for the language you sir you have the greatest look of what's going on and greatest look at what's going on in our great country I'm just a former disabled eat cop listening to you is so very easy thank you sir I appreciate I'll quote don't talk to you I'll quote don't Trump when he was dressed up at McDonald's and a couple said they were indian and we're just normal people we're nobody he said you're somebody if you're a disabled cop if we didn't have cops we wouldn't have a civilization so you're somebody um and then David Hutton he's a Canadian and he had something to say about your

1:09:56Canada views I have been watching I know I have been watching Victor talk about issues relating to Canada and would like to contact to would like to contact him about some erroneous information wait how does this discuss on some of the you can say allegedly erroneous okay uh Victor has discussed quote heavy sulfurous Canadian oil being shipped to the USA yes tar sands starts that way but it is refined into bitumen onsite in northern Alberta the sulfur is then removed and the in product is piped as lights really yeah go ahead really a percentage of the oil so Canada came around and they said to themselves this stuff is so thick we can't even pump it so we're going to get an artificial fossil oil and we're going to to refine refine and use synthetic oils and make it

1:11:01flow and we'll do it in Canada and after we we find some of it and mix it in it's no longer tar sands and we can sell it like like food and we will put it in one pipeline and then they decided let me figure out all of the expenses of that versus just getting a little bit of fluid to make the tar sands go in thick sulfurous fashion all the way to these American refineries that are experts at cracking it and breaking it down in Indiana and the Midwest and they did oh you know what it's cheaper to send it heavy and have the Americans refine it into sweet light crude than it is for us to prep prep it so we've already built the facilities and we will do both that's what so I'm not erroneous no check it out there's a lot of bituminous oil that is not touched by the Canadians

1:12:05and they send it to the United States because the United States has the refineries that can break it down and into gasoline cheaper than you can prep it because you've tried it and we have now a dual use we have stuff that comes from you that has been broken down and it's normal light crude and we have the thick stuff from you that we break down and I'm not sure about what the percentages are but I have a feeling that the thick stuff is still the majority of it and I think they're trying to build a pipeline or they have they want to take the self that they they're talking about the self that they have prepped to make it into a light crude and got the tar and the sulfur is still there but the tar sands and the thick elements to it and then pipe it off to the west coast to ship it to be their California or Japan or some but he should ask himself one

1:13:08last thing he should ask himself there are pipelines between provinces but not very many of them and if you're going to go to war with the United States and that's the term that your prime minister said not me he said we're at war a veritable war and battle then you better make sure that your provinces are all on one page and they're all again and Karney thought they were or he tried to gin it up that national that nationalism by the common enemy the orange band but if you rely on the United States to ship your oil over here and either us to bypass Canada's provincial borders and then send it up to our terrier or send it up to Quebec or or use our oil and dump it at Portland Maine so it can be shipped by sea into Ontario or Montreal whatever method don't depend

1:14:15on us to do it and then say we're going to cut off the oil to you so you're going to miss four million barrels because we're going to say go ahead we'll pump an extra four million barrels and we'll buy it from our friends in the golf or somebody but you're not going to get any oil to Quebec or Ontario your capital and the reason you're not is not because of Donald Trump it's because of your policies that stop pipelines that interconnected your provinces that would give you flexibility and power in such negotiation again we get back to the point if you're going to go to war with the United States economically then you better be in a preconceived position where you're a free market economy you have in a unified population you don't have a socialist economy and your provinces have networks of pipelines communication and you have a lot of foreign investment

1:15:17but you don't you're your weakest point in 50 years and you choose this moment this moment when you have existential immigration assimilation of culture problem energy problems health care problems economic problems your 1.1 per capita GDP or the lowest in last year of all the industrialized and you at this point in your life want to turn in your whole policy over to somebody had three passports and 95% of his investments in the United States with two of his kids there and his house there and you're gonna he's he's gonna lead you award against us and then you're gonna get into it and start booing us at games and putting stupid signs and elbows out why do you do this we're not for it yes we just want to say you're our friends you spend two three percent on defense will work together will patrol the northwest passage will give you a discount on planes will protect the Arctic together there won't be any missiles to get into North America and you won't

1:16:22have a surplus and we won't have a surplus it'll be pretty much even Stephen how is that yeah thank you Canada yeah it's all we're asking for thank you Canada thanks to our audience please join us on Saturday we have a lot more news to go through and the president's JFK and you can and we'll be discussed thanks everybody for watching thank you Victor thank you for watching and listening and buying books I really appreciate that I think our podcast listeners put it to number one on Amazon and then today it's two yeah this is Sammy Wink and Victor Davis Hanson and we're signing off thank you very much thank you for tuning in to the daily signal please like share and subscribe to be notified for more content like this you can also check out my own website at victorhanson.com and subscribe for exclusive features in addition
