Thank you 17 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: for or do you insist on being called doctor? I 18 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: don't recall no. Victor is actually also part of five 19 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: generations of farmers in Central Valley of California. Ins um 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: so listen question number one Immigration obviously a hot, hot 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: topic right now you have to vote in the Senate. Uh. 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: If you followed it, you followed it. If you don't, 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: I don't feel like explaining it to the good folks. 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: But given how demogogued this issue is all the time, 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: does it make a guy like you crazy? Because there 26 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: are really interesting and worthy of discussion angles to this 27 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: and they never seem to get discussed. Yeah. But um, 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking out my window right now here on my 29 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: farm int and my complaint is that when I go 30 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: to work at Stanford and when I'm here in the 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: Central Valley, it kind of reflects the problem with the 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: whole issue, and that is people who set the policy 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: and virtue signal are out their outrage that separation at 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: the border or border enforcement. They never really experienced the 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: consequences of their own ideology. And by that I mean 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: twenty miles to the south of me in December, Mr 37 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: Garcia killed three people, injured, seventh, even deported twice seven 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: seven families up towards the northern part of the valley, 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: and Martin officers Sing was killed by Mr Ariag or 40 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: whatever his name was, twice supported We just had this 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: Brandy Larson in San Jose, same thing. And I guess 42 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: what I'm getting at is that this never registers to 43 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: Jerry Brown and kind of comfortable retirement and Grass Valley 44 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: or Nancy Pelosi up Panama. I'm not trying to demagogue it. 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: I just think that the people who don't directly experience 46 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, or they feel that they have experienced only 47 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: the benefits chief labor, they don't really understand what it's like. 48 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: But we had to shootout the two gay most of 49 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: whom were here illegally from Mexican Central America about six 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: weeks ago on our road. And when you hear that, 51 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: and you get a text in the Preside County jailer 52 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: that they've let these guys out just after three hours, 53 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: even though they arrested two of them and then let 54 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: them out, it's it's a real thing. And I think 55 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: that's what that's what the issue breaks down to. Those 56 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: people who have been hit, hit and the drivers run 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: are people whose children have been encountered a gang member 58 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: versus the rest of people have no direct experience with it, 59 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: and then they have the luxury to sort of pontificate 60 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: their outrage. And everybody who's worried about it. As a historian, 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on countries that get where we've 62 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: gotten where we're just growing to accept a multi lingual society. 63 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, presidential candidates didn't used to put out ads 64 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: in two different languages, and now it's just, you know, 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: commonly accepted that sort of thing. Have we just decided, Okay, 66 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna be multicultural. Well, two different cultures, do different wages, etcetera. Well, 67 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: we've had bouts with this, the German the asp for 68 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: in eighteen forties or the Irish need in the eighteen fifties, 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: but they've always been one time, and they haven't been 70 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: across a physical border of the United States that came 71 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: by sea. So my worrior, I'm glad you asked that question, 72 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: because whether it's the Ottoman Empire, or whether it's Late 73 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: Roman Empire, or whether it's Austria Hungary, or whether it's Rwanda. Today, 74 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: there's no experience at any success in a multi racial, 75 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: multi lingual society unless there's a massive assimilation, integration, inter marriage, 76 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: single culture efforts. And when there's not, you can understand 77 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: what happens. Everything balkanizes people go identify with their tribal identities, 78 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: and you get something where we're going to and then 79 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: it's manipulated by politicians who always pose as the protector 80 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: of this protective victimized group or marginalized group. But called 81 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: the United States is we have too many victims and 82 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: not enough victimizers. So we end up with Jesse Small, 83 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: Josie Smollett and the Covington kids and all that. We're 84 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: desperate to find victims status for each group, and now 85 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: they're in competition with each other, so it's hard to 86 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: adjudicate when we're gonna have all these candidates are going 87 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: to be for reparations. But as soon as we go 88 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: down that road Asian Americans versus Latino Americans, versus Native 89 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: American versus cads versus females, there's not enough white male 90 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: oppressors to make the necessary compensations for all of these groups. 91 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: And then people can say, well, I just came you know, 92 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: I came from Finland ten years going to even great, 93 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: what do I have to do with the history of America? 94 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: And then you have the other question, if it's so bad, 95 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: why is half of Mexico and Central America. When I 96 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: get into this supposedly racist Anglo Saxon Protestant tradition um 97 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: chess pool. And we have more refugees. We have more refugees, 98 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: but we also have more legal and illegal evants coming 99 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: in every year than any other country. And almost all 100 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: the countries combined, take India out of the picture, and 101 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: it's all the countries combined in the world don't accept 102 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: as many immigrants as we do. And yet we're told 103 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: that that's not enough. It's never enough. Victor Davis Hansen 104 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: is on theline. What is the cure for the Balkanization 105 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: that you fear is coming. Is it a message of unity, 106 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: a rededication of the idea of assimilation? What do you 107 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: suggest that I think you have to close the border, 108 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: secure it. Let in about five hundred, four hundred thousand 109 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: legal immigrants. Make sure they're diverse from Africa, Asia and Europe. 110 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: Make sure they have amacratic basis, they have some skills, 111 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: make sure that they come only legally, and make sure 112 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: they come in measured numbers so they can be assimilated. 113 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: The host has to have confidence in its own traditions. 114 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: We're in a schizophrenic situation right now in this society 115 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 1: where we tear down statues of Columbo US or Father Sarah, 116 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: and we do all these things, and we judge all 117 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: these supposed horrible people that came to North America on 118 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: the standards of the President. We never asked ourselves, well, 119 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: if they were so bad, how did this country become 120 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: so good that you and your parents at you're Acasio 121 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Cortez or elan Olmark, Why did you want to come here? 122 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Because they the traditions of the founders are uh, the 123 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: industrialists or the scientists, or what we did in World 124 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: War One on World War Two, all of that is 125 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: baked in or bound up or embedded with what the 126 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: United States is today. And yet you you say it's 127 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: a garbage country or it's almost worse than nothing, And 128 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: yet you want to be here, and you don't want 129 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: to be with your traditions that your championed in the 130 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: abstract tourist where that's Puerto Rico or Somalia or parts 131 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: of Asia. What if that, if that alternate tradition is 132 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: so much better than the western salivation, why aren't people 133 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: flocking to join it? And the answer is they know 134 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: it's not They want to be here, but they feel 135 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: that there's careers advantages in this time and space for 136 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 1: trashy the very hosts that accepted their parents. Victor Davis 137 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: Hansen has a book out called The Case for Trump. 138 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: You know what you laid out there in terms of 139 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: an immigration policy polls really well, like really well, with 140 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: everybody that it's too bad we don't have the politics too, 141 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, reflect that you could get that past. The 142 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: idea of that number based on meritocracy spread to a 143 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: bunch of different places. I mean that that's all popular stuff. 144 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't think you could get it though, because for 145 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: all the talk about Republican obstructionism, they would go for it. 146 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Republicans were, but the Democrats in the last twenty years 147 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: have flipped California with illegal immigrants, sometimes becoming naturalized to 148 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: the amnesty, sometimes with their children. They flipped. They flipped 149 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: California and Nevada, probably Colorado and New Mexico, maybe yours 150 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: on next. And they feel that it's a very successful 151 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: electoral formula in some sing swing states when you get 152 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: sev sev the Latino vote, and then you cater to that. 153 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: And when you when you mentioned that maybe Hillary Clinton 154 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: was pretty reactionary, she was reactionary at the time when 155 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: the Latino population was not a factor in electoral politics. 156 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: Now it is. They've made the necessary adjustment, so they'll 157 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: never let it happen. It has to be done despite 158 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: them all over their objection, because they do want a 159 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: new constituency to vote for an agenda that they were 160 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: afraid maybe the people had rejected. Americans do not want 161 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: this two thousand and twenty trajectory of reparations, New Green 162 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: Deal permissible and fantaside uh SEV, wealth tax, uh income tax, 163 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: a wealth tax, Medicare for all, cancelation student We could 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: go on. But it's more than just socialism. It's a 165 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: holistic effort of quality mandated a quality result. And I 166 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: don't think most people would vote for it, and so 167 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: they know that, and so they're trying to get braining 168 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: as many people in the next twenty years so that 169 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: type of agenda will be palatable. And they can't change 170 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: people's minds. They want to change the electorate. You know. 171 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: I in a couple of minutes, we have left with 172 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: Victor Davis Hansen, your book is the case for Trump. 173 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: We know you're you're thinking man, You're a scholar, you're 174 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: a history in the Peloponnesian War book. I haven't read 175 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: this one. Well, good Braggart anyway, Um, you're a thinking man. 176 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a rather colorful character. He The two 177 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: of you don't occupy the same space in my head. 178 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: And yet you've written a book called The Case for Trump. Briefly, 179 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: what's the book about. Well, it's trying to be it's 180 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: not a raw ro. Trump is a saint. It's not, 181 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: of course that he's the center. I just tried to 182 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: be analytical. I said, how did somebody with no experience 183 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,359 Speaker 1: political military defeat six seen pretty good candidates in the primaries. 184 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: He had this weird add on to the traditional message. 185 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: Not just tax cuts, judge constructions, judges, not just smaller government. 186 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: But China is not fated to take over the world, 187 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: and we can stop it. The interior of America is 188 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: not written off as a the industrialized, opiate place. You 189 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: can save it with smart trade policy. The border doesn't 190 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: have to be open. We don't have to always go 191 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: on optional interventions abroad where we don't translate tactical battle 192 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: success into strategic advantage. And that when it was geared 193 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: toward these eleven or twelve swing states got him elected, 194 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: and then it wasn't just Trump and the general election. 195 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: It was never illry for a lot of people as well. 196 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Once he got in, people said he'll either be a 197 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: liberal or he will be incompetent. He was neither, and 198 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: there was an I talked in the book about the 199 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: unprecedented effort of the deep state opposition to sue under 200 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: the moments clause the twenty fifth Amendment impeachment Muller try 201 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 1: to warp the electoral College voting, this constant effort to 202 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: aboard his presidency, and why they hate him so much, 203 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: both his message and his background, his demeanor and crafts 204 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: and callous a lot, and then finding what's the prognosis 205 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: for both Trump and two thousand and twenty and Trump 206 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: is him after he's gone. So I tried to be analytical, 207 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: and I know that the publisher wanted an edgy title. 208 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: My title was a Case for Trump or Trump Examined, 209 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: but they thought, well, you know what, that's not going 210 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: to get people motivated to buy it. And they were 211 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: very they were very progressive. My editors at Basic Books, 212 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: and their attitude was, write something that's dispassionate and analytical. 213 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: Let me see if I would ever consider voting for him. 214 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: That was a hard challenge. But then they prostituted themselves 215 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: by insisting on the definite articles. Yeah, exactly. Come up 216 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 1: to me and they'll say, I read the book. It 217 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: was really fair. It wasn't uh, you know some of 218 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: these books that are out that he's the greatest things 219 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: in slidespread Why did you call it the Case for Trump? 220 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: And I said, I didn't make the title, but I'm happy. 221 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: I was on a plane yesterday and a guy looked 222 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: over at me and he said, did you write this book? 223 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: And I said, what book? And he opened up this 224 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: computer and you brought it out and he said, this 225 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: is like a maga hat. I wouldn't there be seen 226 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: on this plane meeting that with a cover?
