So check it out, The Blade of Perseus.

We are recording on Sunday, September 21st, Victor, through these blinds.

If I could open them up behind me, behind me, you'd see Steamboat Springs, Colorado, where I happen to be.

And

glad we have some good Wi-Fi here.

You are in the People's Republic of California.

I am.

You'll be the

one.

It's a wonderful place, Jack.

No ice agents are allowed now to wear masks.

And we import all of our almost all of our oil now, except for a little bit in Bakersfield and offshore.

And we have the highest prices of gas in the country, highest electricity, highest taxes, highest poverty rate, most homeless, most people on public assistance.

And Gavin did all of that.

That's hard to do.

He was speaking the other day.

He did this thing, you know.

Yeah.

He does that all the time as if he's, I don't know, has a hula hoop on or something.

He's a performance artist, as is practically everyone else in the Democrat Party.

Well, Victor, this show is going to go up on Tuesday the 23rd.

And that's, I think, UN Week.

I'm here out in Colorado, but I'm pretty sure UN Week is happening in New York City, always a treacherous time.

I worked in New York City all my life.

And when all the goofballs were in town, it was chaos.

But there are some important international stories to get your perspective on.

Hamas put out something.

Today, I think it was today, or yesterday, saying essentially, say goodbye to the remaining hostages.

And then we have UK,

Canada, and Australia, along with France, plotting, planning to recognize Palestine as a nation, as a state.

And we'll get your thoughts on those issues, Victor.

Also, some Disney matters, a poll on leftist violence.

Donald Trump's got some shocking new polls, impressive.

We'll get to all that when we come back from these important messages.

We are back with the Victor Davis-Hansen show.

So, Victor, maybe let's start off with

the recognition.

And I want to read a poll after you finish your comments.

Starmer of the UK, along with Canada, along with Australia, have

stated today that they are going to recognize, these countries are going to recognize Palestine as a state.

Part of the news angle was Starmer seeing to get out in front of Macron of France, who stated last week that

France was going to recognize.

So you have four not unimportant countries going to recognize this hellhole as a nation.

Your thoughts, Victor?

I think there's at least two things going on behind those stories.

One, obviously, they all have left-wing governments, all of them.

So I'm not sure that we should fault the Australian, half the country of Australia or Canada or the UK.

And the other is immigration.

They've led in so many people.

Australia, not quite as much as Canada, but the UK, and they are captives to the Muslim voters.

So that's another thing.

But just think about it:

Hamas is now, you know, they publish these pictures that

and they're just saying to everybody, on October 7th, we broke into a country and we slaughtered 1,200 people at a time of peace.

And many of us were working with Israel.

20,000 of us were treated very well.

We crossed the border and we're working.

And we just slaughtered them.

And then we took 240-something prisoners.

And we've been doling them out for political purposes.

And you're not going to get, because we're thugs and terrorists, you're not going to get the other 45.

And then I would ask the governments of these three English-speaking countries, how many countries do you recognize where the government takes hostages as terrorists?

Which, how many do you do that?

Because that's what they're doing.

And when they want a separate state, they want this terrorist state, because that's what's going to happen if you allow a separate state in Gaza.

So,

you know, if somebody did that to the UK or Canada, came into their country, murdered 1,200 people, and then stuck their tongue out and wagged their finger at them and said, we've got hostages, what are you going to do about it?

I think they'd be very upset.

And it's really weird.

We're going to talk about Trump's

solid polls, but one of the reasons that

they're solid is for all of the anger at him from the left, he has a moral compass.

And on these main issues, you don't take hostages.

There is a difference between a constitutional democracy in Israel and a bunch of thugs in Hamas.

And he makes that clear.

And

Europe is not doing itself any good no matter how in extremists they are by buying oil from Russia.

And we can't really help you, hurt Russia, if you continue to buy oil and then lecture everybody about how well you're doing in Ukraine.

So he brings these these things up and

that's why his polls

are increasing.

And that's not even the domestic issues, you know, about crime and energy and the border.

Well, our own history, Victor, Jimmy Carter and hostages.

Imagine if Jimmy Carter had

done the right thing or the strong thing.

The dynamics of America today would be radically different.

Yeah, all he had to, yeah, but he was captive of,

you know, all sorts of people.

Even Zazinski was all of the people around him were infatuated with this

Michelle Foucault

kind of narrative that Khomeini was a revolutionary that was reaching out to the West and he could be a very valuable person

in Iran and the Shah was not really

a good person.

He was killing thousands of people with Saavek, which wasn't true.

He was a brutal dictator, but he was not a killer, as Khomeini was.

So that's what they fell for.

And they were all deluded.

And then we had those two wave, that diaspora of mostly Jewish Iranians or conservative Iranians that got smart and fled when they saw that Shah was not going to make it.

And those are the people you bump into in their 70s and 80s, and they own businesses, they're professionals.

and then you get the other wave of Iranian diaspora.

And these are the people who said,

well, we don't like Khomeini, but

he was a useful theocrat for our socialist utopia that's going to follow.

Mossadegh, Mossadegh, Mossadegh, they keep talking about that.

So then they stayed and they thought that they were outsmart.

You know, there was Bonnie Sauter and maybe Goatsbody.

And well, they got not, they killed Goats Body, they almost killed Bonnie Sauter, and then that failed, and they found out, oh my God,

Khomeini and these guys are really medieval theocrats, and they don't like socialism, but we hate America more than they do, and they're still going to kill us.

So then they fled to where?

Of course, they fled to America, some to Europe, but to America.

And they are mostly in journalism and academia.

And they're younger, and they're in their 50s and 60s.

So there's two diasporas that I've encountered, and one is very, very pro-American and very, very anti-Khomeini, and the other is ambiguous and blames the United States for everything in Iran.

I'm having trouble here, Victor, with my managing things.

I'm not in my home office, so I apologize.

I want to read a poll, if you don't mind, since I can't print anything out either.

This is the unpopularity of this

action

of recognizing Palestine in France and in England.

So, this is an article that came out this morning,

yesterday, excuse me, late yesterday.

Balaz.

Here's what it says: fresh surveys in Britain and France reveal broad resistance to immediate unconditional recognition of a Palestinian state, a stance now being advanced by leaders in both countries.

In the UK,

poll published by the Telegraph found that only 13% of Britain's back Prime Minister Keir Starmer's plan to recognize a Palestinian state without preconditions.

Support was even lower among Labour voters at just 11% and dropped to 8% among voters who may uh have moved or may move from labor to reform

uh nearly nine in ten respondents opposed armor's expected announcement a slim majority 51 percent said britain should not grant recognition while hamas controls gaza and holds israel hostage and then separately in france separate poll commissioned by um

the country's main jewish umbrella group i'm sorry i don't have the name here showed that 71 of French citizens reject recognizing a Palestinian state before Hamas surrenders, and hostages are released.

Only 29% support immediate recognition despite Macron's pledge to make a formal announcement at the UN General Assembly.

Both Macron and Starmer are leaders of country with horrific public support, and they seem to be doubling down on.

They're afraid of

the, as I said, the Muslim population that they let in, and mostly from the Middle East.

East remember Angela Merkel.

Yes, we can we can do this.

We can do this.

No, you can't.

You ruined your country doing it.

But I think it's part of a larger wave.

You see Gert Wilders in the Netherlands.

You see Neil Farage, Maloney, Victor Orban,

and then the efforts to squash it.

But it's a holistic movement in Europe and the United States.

And we are sick of all this.

We have nothing to apologize for.

We're not settler colonialists.

Go look at what the Ottomans did when they were.

You people never mentioned the Ottomans.

You never mention the Caliphate.

All you do is Europe, Europe, Europe, West, West, West, West.

And yet you want to come here.

All you do is trash our country, our civilization, and then you beg to come here.

We have the same problem.

I mean, the mayor of Dearborn, in that infamous city council meeting where the mayor just told that one guy who was objecting to honoring somebody who had been affiliated with Hamas.

He said, you don't belong here in the United States

to a U.S.

citizen because there's a majority Muslim population in Dearborn.

He would like to remind him there is not a majority population of Muslims in the United States.

So Dearborn is not the United States in terms of demography.

And then we had Illian Omar basically say,

And I predicted this.

I went through with Sammy seven different narratives about the Charlie Kirk killing.

You know, first they were going and I did it on X.

You know, first nobody was at fault.

That didn't work.

And then

the MAGA was at fault.

That didn't work.

And then the gun did it.

Bolt action hunting rifle.

responsible for about 1% of all murders in the United States.

That didn't do it.

Then Trump himself did it.

That didn't do it.

Then it was the gay love story, Ali McGraw, Ryan O'Neill, kind of, that they were in love when they were.

That didn't do it.

And then finally, they got to where they really wanted to be.

And that was blank you.

I don't like Charlie Kirk.

He is a fascist.

I'm not going to quote what he said or anything.

I'm just going to hate him, and I'm not going to participate in this fraud.

And that was what Ilyan Omar blasted out in Congress, said that basically he was a Frankenstein monster, Dr.

Frankenstein, whose monster blew his neck apart, gross and vile.

And then we had Rashid Talib, who goes on her rants, and then AOC.

And I think people are just getting tired of all that, you know.

They don't like the idea that people flock to Europe and then they act in a particular way against its traditions and history and values and protocols, which, if they were to get their way, would destroy the reason why they came there.

The same thing was true of us.

And,

you know, why do these people come from the Middle East and then they get here?

And I'm not talking about citizens alone, but they're on visas or green cards, and then they start demonstrating for this terrorist organization, and

they start attacking this country.

And then when you politely, in the State Department, say, would you, you're on a green card, you're on a visa, would you probably, Mr.

Mohammed Khalid, would you please go back home?

Because you obviously don't like the system here because you came over to get an education and all you do is attack the United States foreign policy and blast its allies and praise a terrorist organization.

No, you can't do that to me.

You can't do that to me.

I want to come here and attack your country.

It's like inviting somebody in.

He said, I hate your table, I hate your food, I hate you, but you can't kick me out.

And the same thing with Ilya and Omar.

I'm just going on a rant, but you think of all the things things that DEI does.

I don't think we've really appreciated the toxicity of that ideology.

It basically says we are not going to enforce norms, customs, laws to a particular group of people who are self-declared historical victims by the basis of their historical oppression, but more importantly, their superficial appearance and the here and now.

So if you are a non-white

person,

you are going to get an exemption.

That means you can be the mayor of LA and you can be in Ghana and no one's going to criticize you.

You can be Teresa Stokes, the magistrate that let out de Carlos Brown to kill Arania

Zarutska, and you don't even have to pass the bar to be a judge.

You can be the head of LA Water and Power and have a dry reservoir, no problem.

You can be the deputy mayor of Los Angeles and be under house arrest when the fire hits because you phoned in a bomb threat.

You can beat a Carlos Brown and let out 14 times and prey on people and no one's going to say a word.

And I think people are sick of it.

Yelen Omar,

there's an argument to be made.

Scott Johnson has done it and others, that she manipulated immigration law to get here by

de facto marrying her brother.

to get a visa to come here.

And that was exempt because who she was.

The same thing about the Somali $2 billion food fraud in Minnesota.

If that had been some white Appalachians that were running that, they'd all be in prison.

So there's an exemption,

ideological, racial, gender, etc.

And when you see the number of people

since the trans craze started, I don't mean that that they're crazy, I mean this popularity of it in the last 10 years and you look at shootings, you have five or six of them.

And as you pointed out to me,

Jack, we now know that the assassin who was going to kill Brett Kavanaugh has now transitioned, and we know that Tyler Rob um

Robinson was in a relationship with transgender and had such messaging on his casing, and yet no one can talk about this.

You cannot talk about it.

In the last five or six years of violent shooting, they are overrepresented, at least on their percentages of gender dysphorics in the population it's like i don't know one in a hundred thousand if that

prior to this redefinition of it i think what i'm trying to get at jack in europe and the united states people said i had enough we are a force for good you look at the world outside of the west it's a mess

Everybody wants to come to the West.

They're not flocking to go to China.

They're not trying to get into Russia.

They're not trying to get into Angola.

They're not trying to get into Venezuela.

They're not not begging to get into Mexico.

They want to come here, and there's a reason for that.

But you don't ever tell us what the reason is.

You only talk about the bad stuff because you want stuff from us.

And then we're supposed to feel really terrible and guilty.

Okay, we'll give you special admissions.

Okay, we'll give you a visa.

Okay, we'll give you a fellowship.

And, you know, it's a very dangerous ideology because it cost a young Ukrainian woman her life because that guy should have never been out.

And that woman who let him out, Teresa Stokes, should have never been a judge.

And that mayor should never have been a mayor.

I mean, she was elected, so be it.

But when she said, you can't arrest your way out, we don't want to show the video, let's not blame anybody.

It's that ideology that causes this stuff.

Well,

we'll talk about the violence of that ideology in a second, Victor.

Victor,

as I now move to somewhere else on my screen here about some of this polling that's come out on

the left, the

I wish I could find the damn thing.

Oh, here it is.

Here we go.

This is from the Daily Mail online.

The headline is sinister truth about the violent, intolerant left as conservatives are accused of Charlie Kirk cancel culture.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk has ignited a cultural

reckoning, and chilling new figures reveal a deep and widening gap in how Americans think about political violence.

According to a new YouGov poll, almost one in four Americans identifying as quote-unquote very liberal, 24%, believe it's acceptable to celebrate a political opponent's death.

Among those who call themselves very conservative, just 3% find it acceptable to feel happy about the death of a public figure they disagree with.

The chasm widens in the younger generation.

Among liberals aged 18 to 44, whopping 22% think it's acceptable to celebrate political deaths, just 6% of conservatives in the same age bracket.

Victor, this is

disturbing, disturbing.

It is.

It's going to get worse, Jack, because it also reflects the political impotence of the left and the frustration.

They have a message now that nobody wants, and they know that.

So they feel that they can cause so much chaos.

They can attack ICE and cause so much disruption that people say, just make it go away, please.

That's their whole strategy.

But nobody wants what they have on the border, on energy, on foreign policy, on the economy.

Nothing.

And they know that.

That's why they don't have the Congress and they don't have the White House.

And they think they can cause enough mayhem and chaos to

get into the

House and Senate in the midterms.

I don't think they can.

And so that frustration says, well then then if we don't have power and people don't like our message, then we should use violence.

And that's why we canonized Luigi Mangioni.

And that's why Mr.

Robinson is not really condemned, as he should be, as an utter vile murderer.

And that's...

That's who they are.

That's why Sarnoff was on the cover of Rolling Stone.

That's why they put Hitler Trump on the head of the New Republic.

It's any means necessary to get this

political agenda that otherwise will not be approved by most of the people.

If you look at the Biden administration, that was a heaven-sent gift to the left.

That was their most

never in their wildest dream did they think that they could actually stage a near coup and put this waxen effigy up, stick him in the basement, say it was COVID, outspin Trump three billion to a billion and a half, get him elected, use him as a stiff sort of that Star Star Trek character, and then take this hard left agenda and just

push it down the American people's note.

Get Majorkas to destroy the border, get the green people to destroy fossil fuels if they could,

get out of Afghanistan and humiliation, tilt toward the radical Palestinians, in power, all of that.

They got through.

And then they unleashed him.

Every once in a while, they said, he's not senile.

He's not, look at this.

We're going to have him do a phantom of the opera.

So he would rest and then he would go up, semi-badges, and fail.

And they loved that.

And then they would put him back.

And so they only brought him out in moments of clarity to express invective and hatred.

Everybody's mad at, you know, Trump should really call for calm.

Joe Biden said, let's put a bullseye on Trump's back.

Joe Biden said twice, I'd like to take him out and beat him up behind the high school gym.

He was the one, remember, that called half the country garbage.

So that's what they wanted, and they got that agenda, and now

they don't have him anymore, and they lost the election, and it only worked for four years, and now it's very unpopular, and

I think people are sick of it all.

And Trump

What they really don't like about Trump is, I think, one of the weirdest weirdest things.

They think he's going to be this right-wing fascist, and then he's the only major political figure who expressed humanitarian concern about the dead in Ukraine.

For the left, it was always Ukraine was something weird tied into Russian collusion.

Well, we're going to support Ukraine because we hate Putin, because Putin colluded with Trump, and that'll make Trump look bad as Putin's puppet.

But they didn't care about the million and a half people dead or wounded or the destruction that was caused.

He did.

Trump did.

And so if he had been, you know, Obama or John Kerry or somebody, they would have given him a Nobel Prize for that alone.

Yeah.

Well, Victor, we're going to talk a little more about Trump.

You've mentioned before, some new poll, and then also Trump and Pam Bondi, not unimportant, big story.

I also want to bring up England again, but we'll do all that and more when we come back from these important messages.

We are back with the Victor Davis-Hanson Show.

We're recording on Sunday, the 21st of September.

This particular episode will be up on Tuesday, the 23rd.

I'm Jack Fowler.

Civil Thoughts.

Check it out.

Victor, before we get on to Trump, and I didn't apprise you, I want to raise this before the show, but back on Starmer and back, I think, on the, you know, that the left feels for the people,

whether they're people in England or America.

He had an ambassador to the United States, this guy, Mandelson, who was known to be a creep and part of that whole Epstein cabal.

And this, the insularness of the elite, I think maybe even there, it may be worse in England than here.

And this all came out, and he's back, he's not the ambassador any longer, but it just shows, I don't know, is it creepiness with the leftist leadership in Europe?

You ever watch these English crime shows?

Yeah.

Foley's War.

Yeah, that was a great show.

Midsummer Murders,

Endeavor.

And they always have these,

there's always a sick scene like you're speaking about about aristocratic,

you know, they're running in the forest naked or they're doing some weird thing.

Dressed in women's panties.

Yeah, it's a commentary on them, and it's self-critical.

And

I don't know whether the incidence is any higher there, but I think people notice it because we always associate the British accent, the British decorum with good manners and sobriety, and then repress as if Victorian repressive people in their secret lives are kind of nutty like Prince Andrew or something.

Yeah,

I've noticed that a great deal, but

it was

to say something, I felt bad for Sturmer because here Trump came over and they put out the biggest show they've ever done in 50 years to impress him.

Basically the message was

Give us a break on the tariffs.

We're English-speaking brothers of yours.

Make sure you send Europe a bunch of natural gas.

Make sure you keep Putin away.

We're not really going to make,

we don't have the money to spend 5% on NATO.

We're not going to do that.

You know that.

We can't really patrol our borders.

Just kind of help us out.

And so Trump knew that.

So he just fixated on the royal family.

and the gold and everywhere and the room and how nice it was.

And then Strimer was just like an orphan, you know, and he told

the Muslim mayor of London to keep out he didn't want him there and he was like the ork he was like the maestro orchestrating this dinner for himself and

you know it's the same thing as before he even took office when he was at the Notre Dame Cathedral when everybody was rushing him or even when they were trying to trash him at the funeral for the Pope because he wore a blue suit

And then you looked around, there was like 10 people who emulated him with blue suits.

And so he was,

as I said earlier, he's right out of Shakespeare's outline about Julius Caesar.

He dostrode like a Colossus above us and we're very.

He's a Colossus.

Like him or not, he's a Colossus.

They made him a Colossus.

Well, let's get to the Trump poll.

Okay, this is, it came out today.

I saw it today.

Maybe it came out late yesterday.

Anyway, it's a Rasmussen.

presidential tracking poll and in a four-day period Donald Trump was 48 in favor 51 against, then within four days, 53 in favor, 46.

That's a minus three to a plus seven.

It's a 10-point flop switch in 10 days.

It's pretty remarkable.

What do you think is behind that, Victor?

Well, part of it was his, as I just said, his larger-than-life figure on the world stage.

That helped a lot.

And then Charlie Kirk,

that brought out,

I was on UU

show whom I highly respect I've known him for 20 years I really like him he's a really good guy and he

he asked me what I thought and I said that was the day that Charlie was killed I said mark my words they're gonna the you're gonna see a really ugly side of the left because they're gonna rejoice maybe not right away but once they get emboldened and

they calibrate how much this meant to people, they're going to get really angry and start to show their real colors.

And they have.

So these people,

it's like every high school

here at Cal State Fresno or local high school, there's some guy that goes on social media and brags.

They're in the military, they're in the media, they're everywhere.

And that inundates the media finally, and people just say,

what happened to these people?

And then they...

What's the alternative to them?

It's not that they're necessarily pro-Trump, but they see him as a voice of sanity in a wilderness of insanity.

And so that's helped him this week.

I always go back to this with the polls because I remember the night before the NPR poll,

the night of the election, I looked at it and I said, oh my gosh, it's beyond

the margin of error.

It has Camilla Harris winning by four points.

Remember that?

The night before.

And she lost by a point, 1.5.

It was five and a half points off in the Des Moines register, the gold standard for Indiana.

They were off by 12 points, I think.

So the only three

that I went back and looked at that you can trust were Insider, Advantage, Trafalgar, and Rasmussen.

That was it.

Maybe there was one other, the one from Latin America.

It was pretty good.

But other than that,

You can't trust any of them.

So I do trust Rasmussen.

I think it's accurate.

And the problem with the real clear poll average is they're very fair and they try not to be partisan.

So they list all of those polls, 10 or 12, and you know that a lot of those left-wing polls exist for one reason, to get some outrageous outline 10-point hatred of Trump so that when anybody aggregates them, it brings it down.

That's their whole purpose.

But he's

He's...

The thing about Trump is he has an animal cunning.

And he caught on to to Powell real quickly,

the Fed thing.

And he knew that during the election, right in September, he lowered the interest rate.

He knew that when that

interest rate went up, I mean the inflation rate went up to 9% in 2022, Powell did not raise interest rates right away.

And so he knew that he was a political animal.

And he just kept...

you know, haranguing that.

And everybody said, oh, the independence of the Fed, the independence,

he's never been independent.

He was a creature of the left.

That's what his purpose was.

And that's why he would he has kept

as you see his latest forecast, we're only going to get 1.5 or 1.7 or something like that GDP when we're, I think, this last quarter we had almost 3%.

So

Trump knows that he just fixates on things and he knows where the people are on all these things.

And

you know,

we eventually find out that the numbers people in power use are like Powell, or like the National Labor statistics.

I don't think we ever spoke about this, Victor.

You may have done it with a million jobs off.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

Why would we believe anything they

well?

It was very clear what they were doing.

They were completely creating jobs so that Biden-Harris and then Harris would be re-elected as a booming economy, and then when that didn't work, they were going to say to everybody that Trump inherited a booming economy, and look, now in unemployment, there's all these jobs that were lost, and they were never there in the first place.

And he knew that.

And the other ability of Trump is he makes them, because of their irrational hate, defend the indefensible.

They defend people who cannot be defended.

And so, whether it's, you know, making them defend

Mohamed Khalil or Obrego Garcia or

Luigi Mangioni

or

Lisa Cook on the Fed or Laquita James, they will defend these people or Fannie Willis.

But they're losing causes, all of them.

But he makes them do that because in their mind, I hate Trump so much that I will be against anything that he is for.

And when you have that predetermined deductive attitude and he's for where 70% of the popularity on most of the issues is, then what you're basically doing is

in

robotic style, I'm always going to be on the wrong side of the issues because I hate Trump.

And that's what's happened to them.

All this doesn't mean, everybody, that Trump is, the Republicans are going to win the midterms.

It's very hard historically to

keep

a majority, a close majority, the end party during a midterm, but it does mean that he has a good shot at it.

And I think he could can pull it off.

I really do.

Well, Victor, we're going to talk a little more about Donald Trump and some Le Pam Bondi.

But first, I want to alert our listeners and viewers.

We have many new viewers about our friends at American Alternative Assets.

When empires debase their currency, citizens who hold gold survive the transition.

That's not opinion, it's documented fact.

Donald Trump's economic warning isn't speculation, it's pattern recognition.

The same signals that precede every major currency crisis are flashing now.

Unsustainable debt, foreign nations dumping our bonds, and central banks hoarding gold.

But Donald Trump's also revealing the solution.

The IRS strategy he's used for decades is available to every American.

It's how the wealthy preserve their fortunes when paper currencies fail.

American Alternative Assets has documented this strategy in their free 2025 wealth protection guide.

It shows exactly how to position yourself before the turbulence Trump's warning about arrives.

Call 888-615-8047 for your free guide.

That's 888-615-8047 or visit victorlovesgold.com.

The patterns are clear.

Make sure you're on the right side of them.

And we thank our good friends at American Alternative Assets for sponsoring the Victor Davis-Hansen Hansen show.

Victor,

by the way,

wrap up one last thing about Trump in England.

Did you see the clip of the royal marching band playing YMCA for him?

It was kind of like, that was funny.

Charles, I mean, everything that Prince Charles has said from, you know, the Middle East to

global warming is anti-Trump, but he's very astute, like his mom.

And I didn't think that he had he understands that it's in his interest to support, court, and win over people that he may not like, and he does not like their politics.

But on one critical issue, standing tall for England and supporting Great Britain through thick and thin, he would prefer Trump to Biden or Obama.

And he knows that.

And that's hard for a person to know.

They say, oh, I love Obama.

I love what the Biden left.

I'm there.

And they're climate changers like me and everything.

But if we were in

trouble, they wouldn't lift a finger, but this guy would.

Yeah, in the foxhole, we know

who would be there with them.

So here's a headline from again from the Daily Mail: Trump savages Pam Bondi as he leaks brutal text messages listing her failings.

First few paragraphs of the story: President Donald Trump has launched an extraordinary attack on Attorney General Pam Bondi over her failure to take deep state scalps.

The president appeared to leak on Truth Social a private message he had sent to Bondi accusing her of all talk, no action, and demanding increased efforts to prosecute his political enemies.

Trump listed off FBI Director James Comey, Senator Adam Schiff of California, New York Attorney General Letitia James, claiming they're all guilty as hell.

Much of his fury was directed at the outgoing U.S.

attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Eric Siebert, or Seibert, who declined to prosecute James for mortgage fraud over what he said was a lack of evidence.

I don't understand.

I never understood that.

Lack of evidence, it's just an affidavit.

Letita James is the Attorney General of New York, and if she signed anything that said that her principal residence wasn't in New York,

that's disqualifying.

If she did it twice,

so that's it would seem like from a news report she had done that.

We know Adam Schiff did that.

He declared two principal residences for tax breaks or at least one that he didn't live in as his major residence.

And so

it actually works out in a weird way, good for Trump, because it shows you that he's not controlling the DOJ.

It's not like Eric Holder saying, I'm Obama's wingman.

And it's not like Nathan Wade meeting with the White House counsel, the Fannie Willis prosecutor, the same day that Michael Coangelo, third guy in the DOJ,

who had come in from Letita James, goes out to work with Alvin Bragg, and the very same day they appoint Jack Smith, the special prosecutor.

That was a trifecta in one day, and that showed you that the DOJ was not independent.

It was an extension of the Biden White House.

But apparently, Pam Bondi and Trump are at odds, and I think that actually he may not appreciate that, but it works to his advantage

in a weird way.

Just because a subordinate in Virginia has chosen not at this particular moment to prosecute Letita James doesn't mean that the DOJ's upper echelon won't do it.

They can do it.

They can appoint people to do it.

The problem is when they came in, almost all of the attorneys were all left-wing.

They're left-wing in general, and then under Biden, they became more left-wing.

And so

he's got to cut her some slack.

It's very hard to,

I mean, she's sitting on a volcano of left-wing, and she doesn't have a lot of personnel yet.

I mean, there's not a lot of judge

Jean Bishop,

you know.

Well, actually, along those lines, I have two things, Richter.

One was Harmee Dylan.

I saw her speak two or three weeks ago.

She was at NATCON.

She was terrific.

She was talking about.

Wonderful.

Yeah, so the actual personnel is still an issue.

It's far enough of Hormette.

Yeah, they just, somebody quit, somebody got canned, and probably two-thirds of the amount of staffing, what it has to be.

And it has to be staffing of people who want to fulfill the mission of this administration, not some left-wing agenda that has infused the place.

So, yeah, having the manpower, the woman power to to fight these fights

is an issue.

The other thing, though, is I noticed on X a number of increased chatter of you'll see a meme with a bot, you know, Adam Schiff, like some of these names just mentioned, and none of them,

no prosecution, no anything.

And you probably have like 10 names.

So there's a growing frustration out there amongst certain

it's very hard to do, though, because it was so rampant.

So

if there was going to be justice

and it wasn't you just think away the statue of limitations and you were going to enforce the law

then you would have to go after John Brennan for lying under oath twice

to Congress about spying on Senate computers.

And then you would have to go after Clapper for lying bald-faced lie and said that the NSA did not spy on people.

He admitted that.

Then you would have to go after Andrew McCabe.

Four occasions he lied.

I think three or two or three of them were under oath about leaking.

Then you would have to go after James Comey.

He lied bald-faced to the president, said you're not under an investigation, went out, recorded that private conversation with Trump, and leaked it to a third party to the New York Times.

Then he went to the House Oversight Committee on 245 occasions, said he couldn't remember.

The head of the FBI.

Then you would have to go after Letita James for mortgage and interest fraud.

Same with mortgage fraud with Adam Schiff.

Then you would have to go after Fannie Willis probably for what she did.

And they already have, so she's already been cited.

And

how would that all be digested?

Because

and then to be fair, you would have to say that all the Biden family, you would have to bring them all in, and then then you would make the put them under oath, the brother, the sister, the niece, Hunter, and then you would make them in long testimonies testify to something that they had said

that would be incriminating if they were to tell the truth and then

have them in a lie, and that would not be hard to do, and then that would be a new perjury that was not covered by the exemptions.

But that's a full-time job, given the level of corruption

that we saw.

So, I don't know how an answer to that.

You also probably have to prosecute them in Arkansas or Alabama.

I don't know how you get in the bank.

You'd have to, because you know what would happen.

If you'd go into a New York courtroom or a Washington, D.C.

courtroom, it's going to be jury nullification.

They're just going to nullify all the evidence, and you're not going to get anywhere.

So, yeah, you would have to take them into

Utah, Wyoming, Mississippi, something like that.

And that's a Herculean task to do that.

So you can't just get instant judgment like that.

And then these people are all creatures of the media.

So then you've got all of the echo chamber, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, New York Times, all of them saying that this is fascism, and

this is why you're trying to govern and do all these other things.

So

I'd like to cutter some slack a little bit because

it's really hard to given the level of corruption and the need to deal with it,

it would take years to undo what they did.

And so I want them to do that according to the law, whatever is possible.

But

I mean,

you had the government of the United States working with a prosecutor in Georgia and being briefed on how to make up a crazy RICO statute about calling in and asking if there were missing votes into a felony, and he was in the White House talking to the White House counsel.

And then you had this Coangelo guy who was working for Letita James, and suddenly they make him the third person in the DOJ.

And then as soon as they do that, pretty soon he goes back to work with Alvin Bragg to use that knowledge.

And then they have two prosecutors working, one to say that Joe Biden did just what Donald Trump did, but he's senile.

And a senile person cannot be prosecuted, but he can be president of the United States.

And then you had, you know, Jack Smith going after Trump, and it was all coordinated.

So that's it.

I don't know.

I mean, I think it was just overwhelming for the American people.

Well, we'll take the fallback position of success being the best revenge.

Yes.

That's what Trump said.

And he's doing that.

He really is.

Well, Victor, we're going to talk a little about Disney as we wrap up the show today, and we'll get to that right after we come back from these final important messages.

We are back with the Victor Davis Hanson Show to pick up on two things mentioned already.

Victor said he wrote something and discuss it with the great Sammy Wink on X.

And if you're on X, follow Victor.

His handle is at VD Hansen.

And if you're on Facebook, VDH's Morning Cup, check that out.

And then there's a Victor Davis Hanson fan club, not officially related here, but great people.

And if you're a fan of Victor, and you're on Facebook, you know, join it.

By the way, you mentioned Wyoming, Victor.

And the reason I'm in Colorado Springs is I was in Wyoming.

I called you the other week.

I visited

Wyoming Catholic College, very small, very traditional, conservative,

super place.

I went there.

I'm going to write an article.

Was that where Kevin Roberts was?

He had been, yes, Kevin had been there.

He was president.

Wow.

Yeah, he was.

Yeah.

But it's so interesting in that

I'm looking at

my cell phone.

You have your cell phone.

We live by this.

If you're a student there, you cannot have

access to social media.

And it's really radically different

detoxification in a way.

And it allows the students to truly

learn and engage.

It's a different, it's also, they structure their education a way a little different, but that's really remarkable.

A school where you are cut off from Instagram, Facebook, X, et cetera.

I used to speak at Jackson Hole.

Maybe I've done it eight or nine times.

And maybe four or five, I've driven from California.

And there's something about going through Utah and then up to Idaho and then over to...

I just

felt at ease.

No, it wasn't because it's so-called white people.

It was just you got the impression that there was just a live and live attitude by everybody yeah and that everybody's attitude was

go do your own thing don't as long as you don't break any laws and bother me then you'll be in big trouble but it was a it was a after being in california it was just something different

i have to believe the the the the landscape and the land it has something to do with the big sky yeah it does it really does and uh i was just as i i was thinking of shane as we were driving through the grand pecans Petons, yeah.

Shane come back when he ran up.

I was watching that not too long ago to make sure I could

adjudicate the degree of his shoulder wound, you know, when he's riding.

He's kind of going like this.

So it leaves a mystery whether he's going to go up in the mountain and die or he's going to come back.

Well, we'll never know.

Well, here's something interesting, Victor, that Peachy Keenan, who writes for The American Mind, put up on X, if I'm just read this quickly, And it's about the whole Jimmy Kimmel ABC situation.

And this is from Friday, September 19th.

And Peachy writes, As someone who worked for Disney Corp for six years, I can confirm that everyone there hates you as much as they hate Charlie Kirk.

When they bring Kimmel back, and they will, because they all love him and hate you, you're going to have to completely cut this company out of your life finally.

The parks, the movies, Marvel, ESPN, Hulu.

Just thank it for all the years of joy, then say goodbye to it forever.

Otherwise, you are just paying Kimmel's salary yourself.

Victor, your thoughts on that?

Yeah, that's very sad, but it's true when you think of the career of Walt Disney and what he built and what his idea was.

When I was growing up, The vocal left was much smaller, of course, but they were always attacking Disney.

You know, he's a right-winger.

He was Goldwater guy.

And to see that whole company taken over, it's true that the radical left has this reverse Midas touch.

Everything they touch turns to dregs.

They destroy it.

And I think that's, you know, they had the trans thing at Disney.

Destroyed Budweiser.

Budweiser, Target.

I can remember as a little boy driving my mom was a Stanford alumni.

We had no money.

We had this little house.

We all had a big occasion.

She said, We're going to the Stamford Alumni Reunion and then we'll go up to a Giants game.

So we had these little clip-on ties, and we all went up in this old 56, 53,

56, I guess, Dodge station wagon.

We went up there, and Stanford was all, you know what I mean?

It was all these people with ties and alumni and faculty.

And I think there were still some faculty members that my mom remembered at the law school, but they were, they looked like something out of paper chase, you know what I mean?

Very dignified, and they ruined it.

They just took it over, and it's an insane asylum, as most of these places are.

And they did that with Hollywood.

They did it with Disney.

And

it's really sad that, and it's a small minority of the population.

The only thing that's very strange is there's one institution that's really pushing back, and

that's Silicon Valley.

Because when you look at David Sachs or Andreessen or Elon Musk or Peter Till,

even to to a lesser degree, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, I think they all got in a room just creating a scenario and they said, these people hate us and they are communist, socialist,

and they're not very good.

They come out of these universities and we keep thinking we're hiring Harvard, Yale, Princeton, but they don't know how to speak.

They don't know how to write.

They're all products of an inflated, overrated educational system, and they're all ideological driven.

And they camp out with a tent in our HR department and complain.

and they get on social media and trash our brand and then we meet with their representatives and their socialists and they say you are going to do this and you are going to do that and you're going to hire us when we retire and you're going to do AI this way and you're and this madman Trump comes along and says whatever you want to do as long as you bring jobs back here and you don't outsource an offshore and you are USA all the way and I'll protect you overseas and they said hmm okay so that's that's a little,

and I know people are going to get angry and say, well, Victor, don't believe those guys.

They're Silicon Valley.

They've done a lot of damage.

I know that.

But it's one thing that Lisa is becoming introspective by needs.

And these other institutions, they've just

destroyed.

They realize they're, as Elon Musk showed with X, didn't he get rid of 90% of the staff?

So these places are kind of welfare reservations for

MBA

geeks who have a highly paid and maybe they sold business when they realize that's not needed anymore.

Isn't it weird about the left?

I mean here he was an icon for giving them the best electric vehicle in the world and then they started trashing his deed and now they don't because he just

I guess disappeared from the White House.

So now they sent out from party command headquarters their bunker somewhere and said, stop trashing Elon.

It's bad publicity.

It's still a car that's better than gas.

You're now permitted to buy it.

You don't have to key it.

You don't have to run people off the road.

You don't have to firebomb dealers.

It's okay.

And

it's just amazing.

I almost every day just let off a rocket, and there, I don't know how many new satellites went up.

And as I said, I'm working, speaking to you on Starlink from out in the country.

And

he saved NASA.

We now have a space program because of him.

We now have internet because of him.

We now have an alternative, if you think it's wise, go ahead to a gas engine car that actually runs and it can go 300 miles and it's a wonderful car, very reliable.

He did all of that.

Now you have X and you can post on there and you can see the alternative blue sky turned into

what they said X was going to turn into, but it didn't.

It's a complete cesspool of hatred.

And so, blue sky or whatever it is.

So,

it's amazing he did all of these things.

And

I know that he had a falling out with Trump, but I still really admire him.

I know he's quirky and everything, but he did.

When you look at people of the 21st century that did a lot for the United States, he's up there.

He really is.

One last thing, if I may, back on the Peachy Keenan and Disney thing, Victor, is I don't I've never felt conservatives were protesting people, maybe protesting at the voting booth, but the

Budweiser thing with Dylan Mulvaney shows, I think it broke a dam.

Like, you people hate us.

They do.

Yeah, well, this is back on, like, but Disney, like, gosh, it's become clear.

They hate who we are.

They hate what we believe in.

I think I would be happy if they hate.

I think

they want to take it to the next level.

And by that I mean they want to dox you.

They want to

hack you.

They want to swat you.

They want to do a lot of things to you.

And they're very dangerous people.

The other thing about them is the people.

I don't want to mention names.

I was just thinking the other day.

I walk, I'm trying to get back in shape, and I walk early in the morning, late at night, and I just think about all the close friends I had.

Wonderful people I went to undergraduate, graduate school with.

They visited here, I visited them, and they, I guess you would say, hate my guts now.

They don't talk to me.

If I call them and leave them out, they will not talk to me.

And that was because in 2016, 17, I said that Trump was not only going to, I preferred him to Hillary, but he was going to win.

And then I supported him.

And

that applies to, I'd say, 90% of my family, too.

And so you're walking alone out there and you're thinking, wow,

I remember this person came and visited me.

We used to walk with his wife and him.

Wow, I remember this guy came and he used to stay overnight.

He was a wonderful guy.

Wow, I remember when I was eight years old, these were my three,

two siblings, my cousins.

And it's all gone.

It's all gone.

because, and it doesn't come from the right.

The right doesn't call up and say, Did you vote for Hillary, Hitler, or community?

I'm not going to talk to you.

They're living, let live.

I listen to Neil Young.

I despise what he is and his,

I don't mean his person, but his politics and his meanness.

But I have nothing against this.

I'm not going to boycott him.

I like his music still.

I try to not do what they do.

But they do it.

They're the ones that are.

They make it tough.

They make it tough.

For them,

it's high stakes.

And the more they lose, and the more happy conservatives get, and the more relaxed they are, the more that they do things like celebrate.

The worst thing I've seen in

the modern culture was this student at Texas Tech that grabbed his neck and emulated Charlie Kirk dying.

Satanicum.

Then he went up on the stage and repeated that.

And then when they kicked him out, he went on GoFund to get money for that, played the

victim, and then he said he was in a state of,

I don't know, anger or depression.

He wasn't.

It was cold, calculated, kabuki theater, kind of just showing what it would be like in the last seconds of Charlie Kirk's life in front of all these people.

And then all these people, it was just pure evil.

And

it reminded me,

there's certain imagery, this has been a really

remarkable and the negative way, just a historic month.

When I see the, because it was so visual, you see visual things and you can't get the imagery out of your mind.

When I see that guy reproducing the final death rows of Charlie Kirk and snickering and then laughing, or when I see Irena on that car,

and I see this guy methodically look at her and then get up and kill her, and then this look of bewilderment.

And it was like, oh my god, I'm dying.

I'm not going to be in this world in 60 seconds.

And then

all those four passengers watching this.

watching this and then as she dies and starts to slump over and the the murderer has already walked out, dripping with blood, and you do hear on the video, got the white girl, you do.

I heard it twice.

And then they just kind of look over, oh,

not my problem, or wow, dying.

And you think, and then you hear Van Jones say,

CNN commentator, that Charlie Kirk said this was a racial thing, and how dare he?

And he attacked Charlie Kirk.

And I thought, I wanted to say to Van Jones, Van, there were five people

around him.

80%

were black.

Why did he pick the one out of five to kill?

One, okay?

One.

He picked the one person.

And after he killed her, he didn't touch the other four.

He just let them go.

And why did the other four just sidestep this one person?

And do you really do what Charlie Kirk did say when he said reverse it?

Do you really believe that if this had been some white-haired, white, homeless looking person and there was a beautiful young black girl getting off work and he systematically slit her throat while four white people watched him do it and then as she started to faint they did not render any assistance and then you would be told if you noticed that that you were a racist That is incredible.

That scene.

And then that other scene of Charlie Kirk.

And I only watched, I just saw it.

I wasn't prepared the first time when he's hit.

And he just, it's almost like that 30 oh six bullet took him in the air and delivered him some other world because I don't know about the autopsy.

I don't know, but I know that rifle.

I've shot that type of rifle a lot.

And it is a very powerful.

And I think Charlie was deceased within seconds

where that wound was.

And it's just something about that.

And then when I get the other images of this creepy creepy guy with his little stupid text with his trans-furry boyfriend, and then this ABC guy, and Montel Williams saying this was a love story.

And

it's so repulsive.

And that image of him, it was...

And then I hear Elon Omar compared Charlie

Kirk to Dr.

Frankenstein, and he created a monster that tore his neck up.

That is, it's just so grotesque.

And that imagery, all these images, it just was, I think it just broke everybody's moral spine, so to speak.

They just said, I can't, this is,

this is surreal, what's going on.

What went on in that car and how that, and then when the story came out about it, he was let out, 14 felonies, and he was let out.

by a magistrate who had never passed the bar.

And she had a vested interest in alternative treatment centers that she co-run.

And she was sent.

It was just, it was incredible when you saw that.

And the same thing about this guy with the gun and how people were almost glorifying what he did.

And

it was just so meaningless.

It was just,

and then,

and, you know, it just, I don't know what I'm trying to say, but the imagery of all of these things, I think, really were imprinted because they were all on videos.

And that's what really, and that guy who reenacted the, that was on video.

It wasn't just you read about somebody who made a stupid mistake and he reenacted the wound.

You saw what he did twice.

And

it's,

yeah.

You know.

Imagine if someone had mocked George Floyd's death a few days after it happened.

Or what

I've done on that.

I wrote an article.

And yeah, and then they said everybody on CNN,

they're searching for a George Floyd.

That was really an obscene obscene thing to say.

I think it's tragic that George Floyd died, but he was suffering from long COVID.

He had a heart condition.

He was on fentanyl.

He was on methamphetamines.

He was in the process of committing a felony by passing counterfeit currency.

He was in the process of committing a felony by resisting arrest.

He had eight

prior criminal convictions.

He was a prison convict.

He had staged a home invasion.

And that is Charlie Kirk, who was a father, happily married, created a non-profit, had never been arrested, did not use.

It was just night and day to compare the two, and yet they did.

Yeah.

Well,

the devil's around, Victor, big time.

So, hey, we're at the end of our allotted time, except that we can read one comment.

And we thank everyone who takes the time to comment, thousands of you know, on Victor's own website where this podcast can be heard or viewed, and then on Rumble, Apple, and YouTube.

So here's a comment from YouTube from Gail Payton 7115.

Victor, I'm a 70-year-old woman with deep Christian beliefs.

I cannot explain it, but I feel a deep grief about the death of Charlie Kirk more than I would expect.

I know a lot of people who are having the same response.

It's not political.

Don't underestimate this response people are having because I don't think I'm alone.

Love your show.

Thanks so much.

And that's Gail Payton 71.

Gail, you're not alone.

I've had the same experience.

I think everybody I know has had the same experience.

Me too.

Because

there was something, you know,

it's not true what people are saying about him.

He was a hater.

He was trying to,

you know, he was trying to convince people that the indoctrination of the university was not healthy.

And I don't mean that politically.

I mean in terms of getting married and having children and having a house and being a member member of the community, and you didn't really have to follow their antithetical trajectory that they were imprinting on everybody.

That's all he was trying to do the last year of his life.

Go around everywhere and

meet people who disagreed with him and try to persuade them and not shout them down.

There's a very good clip of him when there's a white racist who says that America is a white country and

he argues with him and says, you're wrong.

He quotes the Declaration and then he says, sit down, I'm not going to tolerate that vital race.

And yet they've taken all of that, and for political purposes, the left got very terrified by his death.

They really did.

It was just a clear-cut, evil act by somebody on the left.

And that's why I wrote that X the other day.

Seven narratives to explain that.

And I finally said, but the last narrative will be the one that's the most authentic.

All the six will be lies.

Love story, gun did it.

But when they get to the last one,

after they've tried all the other ones and they're desperate,

they're going to shrug and say, I don't care anymore.

They didn't believe all the seven lies, so now I'm going to tell the truth.

And the truth is, I'm happy he got shot.

I disagree with what he did.

I'm not going to apologize.

And Presto, you've got that from AOC and Ilyan Omar and the left.

And they're comfortable where they always wanted to be with us.

He had it coming.

And by the way, you and I and everyone else have whatever's coming to us coming.

Yeah, we have to rendezvous with these people somewhere.

That's what's scary.

For me,

for the last five years, the scariest person, as I keep saying,

airport friends.

I was walking on a particular campus, and I was on a particular sidewalk in a particular neighborhood.

And I saw someone look walking toward me in the opposite direction.

And my little alarm system went out.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

She is white.

She is over 65.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

She is tastefully dressed in walking clothes and affluent.

She has a scowl on her face.

As she gets near her, be careful.

So, sure enough, she turned around and she just go

and as if she knew who I was, like a snaggle cat or a snaggle puss or whatever.

Snaggle puss.

Yeah, so and I

kind of think snaggle puss was evil.

No, I love snaggle puss, but the point is that that's an that's a hostel with a thousand faces.

I've seen her everywhere around airports and campuses, and I've had maybe 10 to 20 encounters with her.

And it's always,

I am so much better than everybody.

I am educated.

I have the right zip code.

I have perfect taste.

I have a credential.

I have a title.

And you're a spokesman, or you're trying to have these unwashed, creepy, deplorable chumps, drags, garbage people.

And I'm not going to allow you to come into my neighborhood and be in my area without letting you know how much I hate you.

That's what it is.

And you can call it Karen or whatever as a stereotype, but that is the one person that I,

you know, I have no, that I, I just.

I always say, no more.

Nope.

Nope.

I'm not going to talk to you.

Go to cross the street.

All right.

Take a detour.

All right, Victor, you've been terrific.

Thanks for watching.

Thank you, everybody.

Thanks, folks, for listening, for watching.

We'll be back soon with another episode of the Victor Davis-Hanson Show.

Bye-bye.

Basketball game, crushed it, and the day's just getting started.
