“Victor Davis Hanson Exposes What No One Else Will Say About Trump…”

We had this Marjorie Taylor Green uh back and forth with Trump over the Epstein files where she was attacking Trump, tracking him and attacking him and then she tried to clarify herself and said, “I’m not suggesting you are in them, but you got to release them because the Clintons are in them and Hillary’s in them on the flights.

” And then Trump got exasperated. Then she went on the View and said she was pretty much the same as the View or sort of. And so he really went Defcon one on her full mega tonnage. I think he’s going to dis discover if a tariff is on a product that Americans don’t make or cannot make but want, then you’re going to have to address the larger picture and not to tariff things that will raise prices up for Americans that who will buy that again and again and again.

 I think we’ve always learned there’s about two things, if I could use a vernacular, you don’t mess with Americans. One is coffee and one is gasoline. What I’m getting at is these things are adding up and they bother the base. And Trump just dismisses them, but he should address them because he’s got just a year and he’s we’re in a race, as I said earlier, for the Trump economy.

 There’s so many things he’s invested in. fuel, foreign um investment here of companies, deregulation, tax cuts, porting, 2 million people that were mostly on social assistance, closing the border so you won’t have that overhead. And it’s all going to come to fruition. Just a question of whether it does in time for the midterm exam.

 

 So that was one thing. And then Laura, to her credit, I mean, she she just stayed firm and said, “Why would you want to have 600,000 students? We have too many anyway. We have all these people who are broke and want to go to college and there’s not enough room and it’s too expensive and we know that Stanford Review I had a wonderful dinner the other night uh with kids. I shouldn’t skate kids.

 They’re better informed than I am on the national um the Stanford Review paper, the conservative paper. And they had run a series about espionage. It was almost Pulitzer Prize of the old Pulitzer Prize standard showing that the Communist Party inserts people among the students who uh go after people to develop relationships with and then to use them as conduits for technology transfers and things like that.

 And then and so that hurt him the 600,000 because most people want uh 300s Chinese students, not 600,000. I’d be happy with zero students coming from just like we did in the Cold War with um Russia. So that was another thing that happened. Laura and then Marjgerie Taylor Green and then uh we’ve had some people angry at the tariffs.

 So that was a I think that won’t happen the 600,000 students. I think he was trying to use that as a leveraging tool which he and he knows that they need the students because without that technology transfer they’re going to fall further and further behind. They’re they’re emulated. That’s all they can do is emulate Western Europe and the United States.

 Why give them the opportunity to do that? We are addressing it, but it’s going to take me another two or three four months to come down. And then he’s on the tariffs. He’s doing what he always should have. He’s he’s doing art of the deal. He had very high punitive tariffs. On this program, we said we didn’t understand the logic of tariffing Britain or Israel or Australia who had um sur they had deficits and we had surpluses with them.

 But I think as we saw with Switzerland when they sent over their grandees to lower the tariffs from I don’t know 30 or 40 down to 15. Now he’s going to the point where the official policy of the United States will be reciprocal tariffs. And if you think that is not sufficient, you can make up the difference by investing in the United States with companies to lower your tariff costs and to give us an economic stimulus.

 So I think you’re going to see a lot more reciprocal tariffs rather than punitive tariffs and that that’s going to help too. So but you’re right that uh does temporarily drive up prices. Although the Wall Street Journal just I don’t know Forbes and the Wall Street Journal said they couldn’t think that it’s resulted so far than it with more than 1% in increase can be attributable to the tariffs so far.

 But when they come down uh it’ll be good. $1.1 trillion trade deficit. And we’re doing it in part, not all, not all, but in part because we have these countries that are mercantile. They export and then they raise barriers against us. So we and they do that. In addition to do that, they deliberately subsidize their product with government funds to lower the cost to undercut us.

 The classic example is the rare earth. We used to be dominant in that. China copied our machines that refine it, copied the way we mine it, and then started dumping it below the cost of production, destroyed our industry that went on a bit. Then now they have a monopoly. And so he’s trying to address that. And the problem is that certain countries supply stuff like that.

 Our elite want a Rolex. Nobody. I don’t never have one. I don’t know why anybody. I have something that cost about a h 100red bucks, an Apple Watch or something. But maybe they want to buy a Rolex, but they can’t buy it cuz we put this huge tariff on it, double the price. But if they make something that Americans want and we don’t have it, and we don’t really grow I don’t I don’t know if anywhere in the United States we grow very sizable amounts of coffee.

 So putting a tariff on coffee is to punish coffee producing countries that have tariffs on other imports from the United States. In other words, or say our trucks, you want to they don’t import a Ram truck without making impossible to to buy. So we retaliate by tariffing. But I think he’s going to dis discover if a tariff uh is on a product that Americans don’t make or cannot make but want, then you’re going to have to address the larger picture and not to tear off things that will raise prices up for Americans that who will buy that again

and again and again. I think we’ve always learned there’s about two things, if I could use the vernacular, you don’t mess with with Americans. One is coffee and one is gasoline. If you can get those two things or maybe steak is a third or meat, red meat. If you can get red meat, coffee and gasoline down and he’s got gas now pretty it’s going down down down.

 So he needs to get coffee and red meat and I don’t know I would think a more viferous claim taking credit taking for the gasoline price reduction. Um, he needs to take more credit and he needs to say, “I started pumping natural gas. Joe Biden started to to reduce it. He drained the the petroleum reserve, strategic petroleum reserve.

 He spent a trillion dollars on a boondoggles to subsidize wind and solar.” And then at the end of his administration, he was terrified that he was going to destroy the US energy and he start pumping in the way I had taught him to do that. Now I inherited a can do fracking horizontal drilling natural gas production and I’ve just in one year increased the amount of oil we produce per day by a million barrels up to 14 million barrels and I will he’s already starting to refill the strategic petroleum reserve and he should say I’m

going to fill the whole thing maximum and I’m going to get up to 20 million barrels and he can do it with new leases and Anoir and all of this stuff and that’s going to lower the price to $2 and he needs to take credit for that. That’s his just like he doesn’t take credit enough for the economic cost of what he did on the border.

 I what I’m getting at is he’s done all of these things and foreign and abroad, but he needs now to connect them. These spokes of the wheel and the hub is the economy. The the midterm will be determined on the economy. So each thing he does, he needs to emphasize. What do I mean? I shut down two uh million.

 I deported 2 million people and I shut down 4 million people coming a year. That means more houses are going to be open. More apartments are going to be open for American citizens. That means you when you go to your dialysis clinic, there’s going to it’s not going to be as swarmed. Uh that means that we are not going to break local budgets, emergency rooms, all the stuff that adds up to our cost. And this is the very beginning.

I’m going to keep pushing this. He needs to say that. He He needs to say when I went into Washington, it in even Chicago, the burglary rate, the assault, the rape rate, and these have economic um these have economic consequences. When people feel safe, they go out and purchase things. They increase GDP.

 They lower the cost of crime. And that’s my point. When I go overseas and I job, I know I sound obnoxious sometimes, but when I tell Canada, you better get up to 2%. That means that our allies will share the burden of Western defense and that puts less pressure on us to build and take over build weaponry and take over from them.

 He needs to say that and he needs to say that um you know vibrant vibrant America is is in the world’s interest. and everything he’s doing has an economic um aspect to it. It really does. And so I hope I hope he can do that because eventually the only thing I’m not at all pessimistic about the economy or prices or inflation. I just don’t know if they’re going to kick in these programs enough by November of next year to get, you know, inflation down to.

3 or something in the uh third quarter. One of the things he’s he’s battling is the Democrats are needless. So Kevin Hassard and others have suggested that the fourth quarter GDP that the federal bank in Atlanta had projected at 4% GDP, that’s astounding. They think it’s going to go down by a point and a half to two and a half just because of the six weeks$15 billion dollars a day minimum um government spending much more in the economy shutdown that cost hundreds of billions of dollars over the whole total economy. And when you put in the the

shutdown and then you’re going to see that the interest rates are Jerome Pal is not going to lower them down because he’s he’s a popular icon among the left and he’s a belleaguered target of Trump and they think he’s they’ve made him into a folk hero. So he’s going to try to keep interest rates high and they are going to go on the offensive.

 They there’s a bunch of little people in a room at the DNC and they have their talking points. Today it’s affordability. They came up with affordability and then a month ago was Epstein letters. Epstein letters and shutdown shutdown. They get the key buzzword and they’re going to we’re going to see recession recession. We’re going to be Wall Wall Street collapse collapse collapse.

So, if he can battle the fake news, if he can get the interest rates down, if he can avoid another shutdown in January or later in the year, he’ll be fine. Gavin Newsome has a $9 million home, right? So, what am I getting at? The people who destroyed the state and made people in the Sanwalking Valley or Inland Empire foothills have to pay these exorbitant prices never had to suffer the consequences of their own ideology.

 They made out like bandits and they live in splendor. So, they’re going to have to step in or we’re going to have a civil war. I have mixed feelings about this because on the one hand, these noble people who tragically lost their homes are being used as pawns because they have a lunatic mayor, Karen Bass, a lunatic city council in LA. They’re all they’re interested in is fighting ICE.

 There’s a million illegal aliens in Los Angeles County. How it got to that point, I don’t know. But that’s what the agenda of Nuome and uh Karen Bass are. They’re they care more about illegal aliens not being deported than they do homeowners. And they have this idea that they’re going to reszone the palisades and make high density housing or at least small little c.

 I don’t know what they are, but they don’t want these people who were affluent to build these majestic Romanesque homes again. You know, I drove through there about two weeks ago, at least along the PCH, and there’s nothing happening. It’s just pathetic. And then when I said I’m conflicted, Prop 50, which is going to destroy the bipartisan committee and gerrymander California from nine congressional Republican representatives to probably four or five, they voted 60 almost 60%.

 So, a lot of those people in the Palisades voted for this thing. and they keep voting for Nuome and they keep voting for the Karen Basses of the world and they keep voting for these crazy people in the legislature. So then then they get surprised when it boomerangs back on them. They’re pres the the voting of the elite along the coast is I want to use other people as lab rats.

 I want to build massive solar plants. I want to decommission nuclear plants. I don’t want natural gas or oil to be tapped in California. I want to overregulate agricult. I don’t want any charter schools, prep schools. I want the teachers unions to run the state and the government unions. I think homeless is really great.

 I I don’t want to touch the homeless problem. I want to have reparations. And then ding, I live in Bair. Ding. I live in Athetherton. Ding. I live in Ma Napa. Ding. I hang out on the shores of Lake Tahoe. And I what I just described is the mentality of the Bay Area people who got us to this mess in this state.

 And I’m talking about you, Jerry Brown, 16 years as governor. Gavin Newsome, maybe 30 years. San Francisco City Council, San Francisco mayor, San Francisco Lieutenant Governor, San uh San Francisco Governor. You got about 30 years right there. And then you had Barbara Boxer. She’s she was responsible. The late Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Camela Harris.

What do they all have in common? Well, they all wanted to make a progressive radical state and they got their wish. We have the highest gas prices, the highest gas taxes, the highest electricity costs per kilowatt. We have 49th I think Reason magazine said our infrastructure and highways were. We’re about 42nd in education.

 We’ve got a California uh San Francisco’s per capita property crime rate was the highest in the country. We’ve got the most illegal aliens. We’ve got the most homeless people. Onethird of the population is on um onethird of the United States population on entitlements lives here. Half the births are on medical for I could go on forever. That’s the state.

That’s and those people gave us the state. And where did they live? Barbara Boxer went down to I think Rancho Mirage or somewhere near. Camela Harris lives in Bair. Jerry Brown retired to his Woodsy Grass Valley estate. Gavin Newsome has a $9 million home, right? Nancy Pelosi made about a $200 million somehow as an insider knowledgeable person about stock trades as speaker.

She has a mansion in San Francisco and an Italian design uh estate in Napa. So what am I getting at? The people who destroyed the state and made people in the Sanwalking Valley or Inland Empire or foothills have to pay these exorbitant prices never had to suffer the consequences of their own ideology. They made out like bandits and they live in splendor and they and people can’t make that connection and they keep voting them in.

 So what happens? We’re in a doom loop. The people that can make the connection, they leave. 300,000 a year and the people who are left are either the very very wealthy who are immune from the toxicity of what they plan for others or they’re the 50% of the state who uh medical plays for all their burst or the 40% that pays for their healthcare.

 It’s a medieval society of a few very wealthy on the cone of the period pyramid and everybody else below. It’s very scary because um it’s not that they don’t care about enforcing the law. They’re deliberately trying to undermine it and endanger Iceland. Uh Mayor Johnson has bragged that he wants to physically stop ICE and that they have no jurisdiction within Chicago as if all the property of Chicago belongs to the city of Chicago.

That would be like saying Illinois does not have a state property inside or the federal government. They have lots of them. They have probably a billion dollars of property. Every city has federal and state property in it of which the city has no jurisdiction over in most cases. So he’s he’s openly and then you have Governor Pritser who uses now he thinks he wants to be president.

So he’s a spoiled neapo baby. He’s billionaire based on the work of somebody other than himself that he inherited this huge fortune and bought his way in and he was an obscure buffoonish type of governor and now all of a sudden the der of candidates on the left he thinks he’s the head of a big state like Gavin Newsome and he’s letting off fbombs he just yesterday he said I want to tell everybody that Trump’s not going to go in there what Trump basically said the department of education they cannot teach in the

public schools racism and all of this anti-white anti-American stuff. So in the twisted mind of the left they say after we have politicized the curriculum and destroyed meritocracy and nobody knows anything after they graduate to the degree they graduate any attempts to reform it and put it back in the middle is interference and propaganda.

 That’s what Fitzer is saying. But in that long herang, this is a guy who went to prep school and he was grew up as a child of billionaires with every but he doesn’t want to extend a quality education that he got to anybody else because he’s a demagogue. But what I’m getting at is he is actually telling people to resist ICE and we had that convoy of ICE trucks that 3 weeks ago or four weeks ago was stopped was kind of like a John Brown’s raid on the federal government.

 So, we’re going to get we’re on this trajectory. We we hear now with Mandami. He said that he’s not going to allow uh any ICE people to use their facilities and to enforce the law. That’s what he said. He said he’s going to arrest Netanyahu when he comes into New York for the United Nations. So, and Fritzer Pritzer Pritsker said that he’s going to not allow ICE.

 So you’re going to see a situation that and they’re the threats according to Christy Gnome have increased by 800% on the lives of ICE and they’ve been shot at. They’ve been rammed with cars. The irony is that most of the people who are protesting are affluent white people and most of the people you look at ICE are Hispanic, black or poor white.

 So there is a class thing. If you enjoyed today’s video on inner vision, don’t forget to give it a thumbs up and share your thoughts in the comments below.
