This is the engaging conversation that I have seen in YEARS
Yup, Andrew Sullivan seems blissfully free of redeeming qualities, and singularly self-centered. Straightening himself out would be a good start on the path to redemption.
Pres. Trump was considered "divisive and controversial" ONLY to the Global "elite" and Marxist. Poor brainwashed journalist.
The censored and silent majority are united
38:00 Oh, we know the answer regarding Pompeo… and no thanks.
i like de santis alright. but the left'll hate him as well. trump 2024 i think.
Great interview. Oddly, gave me some hope if it's correct what I interpreted Mr. Hanson as saying that many Latin Americans who arrived via the Liberal open borders are striving for family centered lives and not some crazy chaos, so that they will vote Republican. Please, let that be true!!!
That is BS the Dems are getting just what they want.
This hasn't aged all that well has it. The 10 year old rape victim was real and her rapist found. The left has no real power…the Biden admin is a centrist coalition of disaffected Republicans,Centrists and leftist.
The 1/6 committee has done a terrific job and the DOJ has the planned coup attempt as a target. Ginnifer Thomas once a cult member is a election denier and was involved in supporting the coup. The Supreme Court is more "Activist" than ever.
Perfect and brilliant commentary by the "Master Historian Schollar" on our allowance of US liberal idiocy De-Mock-Racy. One of the Brightest men alive…Thanks Vic.
Why doesn’t the royal family sell some of there plunder to uplift the homeless and poor??? They always want musk to do it but he made his money he didn’t fleece his cash from the public they rule over
8/5/22. The S
Ds are ready to pass legislation that will allow Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate drug prices and many other family kitchen table issues. Nothing to do with the rights grievance politics of guns,abortion,guys etc.. The right fomented a freaking coup and rejected the norms and values of the Republic. This guy give the incredibly unorganized left way too much credit. I haven't heard him mention Fake Electord trump sent to overturn the election. Here's the deal ..the right has to have a real platform …not just grievances.
DeSantis baits the left.. that's his appeal.. no kitchen table issues…nada.
The next candidate for the Ds will be Amy Klobachar…she could beat DeSantis. She's a centrist.
Joe Biden won because people were EXHAUSTED by the gaffs and incompetence of trump.
When interviewed in a Fox Townhall Buttegieg was wildly appluaded and lauded .
Not one mention of the debt djt left us or the Tariffs he instituted.
Victor is on the level with Thomas! I love them both.
Dying empire. I and many I know will not vote anymore because it doesn't change a thing.
All politicians are liars. We are screwed.
Why? they will just rig the next election too with the help from WEF
They picked Biden as they have picked many others before him. Do not trust the next one anymore than the current one. It's puppetry and a distraction.
Bro we (the left) never wanted Biden in the first place. He's essentially three republicans in a trench coat.
This is brilliant and enlightening. Always love to listen to the careful and precise logic of Victor Davis Hansen.
I thoroughly enjoyed the comparison to British and American systems and it’s close similarities.
Is this the new Jordan Peterson since JBP went off the deep end and started going schizophrenic?
How long before this guy starts popping benzos too? Rightwingers always know how to pick em!
I laughed out loud when he called California a "failed state" 🤣
What does he consider all the states running deficits, buying goods from California and China on credit? Alabama must be a wasteland by his definitions?
VDH is a fascist himself so it makes sense that he’s fear mongering about progressivism. Really interesting that he’s purposely furthering BS conspiracy theories instead of citing actual evidence of America’s failings (like Trump’s numerous crimes). This guy is the worst.
Yeah somehow I don't blame them considering along with Poodleoosi they've practically started world war3 but Kamala isn't going to be any better than him. If anything she'll be even worse and Pelosi with her Italian temper and Iust for revenge is the last thing we need right now. They might as well call Trump and tell him he can have his job back. But of course they're not going to do that either. If that happened it would be a mericle.
I like how he glossed over jan 6 loser donut trumps coup.
Victor is a brilliant man! His knowledge is incredible he tells the truth and doesn't peddle lies like a lot of leftist tend to do. He's one of my favorite historians/philosophers.
The Left in the USA hate Biden and the Democrats. So what is this half wit waffling on about?
Biden is the most popular President ever – he has to win a 2nd term mathematically – it is not possible to change the swing in the next election so we will have another Biden Term we have to.
Whenever I hear conservatives or liberals, either one, they have their ideas that they invent in their heads. Ooo no southern border…scary…but there is one. Ooo…radical late-trm
Yep he will not last long.. time is up for this CLONE…since the real one is been gone a long time ago!!
yes yes yes biden and pelosi have done so well. I hope they remain our leaders for another 6 years. America loves them like mommy and daddy.
Gretchen Withmer or Jennifer Grandholm are the best candidates instead of Biden.
"It's the oldest democracy in the country". I had to listen to that twice to make sure I got it right.
So….. Justice Kavanaugh lied, Justice Barrett lied, Justice Gorsich lied they all LIED TO GET IN THE COURT…. THEN THEY DID WHAT THEY FELT LIKE DOING.
This dude….. Wow. This guy. Wtf is this in my Google feed.
Trump’s mob going inside the capital building was to stop the transfer of presidential power. That’s a felony.
They also chanted to hang the Vice President and threatened to drag Nancy Pelosi out by her hair. They caused Congress to stop and flee for their safety which is also criminal:
Whoever threatens, directly or indirectly, to commit any crime of violence with purpose to terrorize another or to cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly, vehicle or facility of public transportation or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or in a reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.
We don't need pants suit wearing women as our government leaders sorry A message straight from the 50s
Ten year olds don't get pregnant. Story was faked.
Want to make the US Army look more like America? Then 25% of the Army must be under the age of 18 and another 25% must be age 55 or older! Half of the Army must be female. Some of these soldiers will be unable to wear modern body armor and other protective equipment. What percentage of the Army must be disabled? Will we screen so that current party affiliation in the Army matches the rest of the nation–if there's 80% Republicans and 15% Third Party, will the remaining 5% Democrats be the officer corps or just recruits?
This argument is more haystack than strawman.
President Trump was an absolute straight shooter. He told the TRUTH. President Trump has to finish his term. The current occupants of the White House are ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL SQUATTERS.
terminally obtuse clown
Your mouth to Gods ears!!!
America has been a de facto state since abe was assinated by a military coup financed by the vatican
Trump was a revenge vote for many people in 2016. Keep pissing people off and see who wins in 2024.
Victor is great on most issues. But he is locked in to certain theories about the 2020 election [81 million ballots for Biden?] and Jan 6.
Not fast enough they aren't impeaching him so doesn't look like he's through yet ! LGB!
It's time we round up right wing extremists and permeability cancel them.
ALL HAIL OUR GREAT GLORIOUS AND DEAR LEADER
