In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Jack Fowler talk about the summit involving Trump, Zelensky, and European leaders, the implications of U.S. foreign policy, the perception of American leadership, race and crime in America, and the role of the FBI in political accountability, and more.
Varian Fry is remembered as a Righteous Gentile. Your discussion of Cincinnatti made me think of him today. Mr. Fry was a journalist with a particular admiration for artists; he helped a couple of thousand Jewish artists get to America and safety between 1940 to 1941. His inspiration was thought to be an episode in Berlin, while eating at an outdoor restaurant. The SS came by and demanded everybody’s papers. When one diner was revealed as a Jew, they took the knife at his plate setting and pinned his hand to the table. Some Jews really understand that it may start with two guys having a physical argument; if society does not condemn that, the chaos and destruction will grow.
The FBI is corrupted totally. I have no faith that even Trump can manage to purge it of the deep state leftists corruption. I don’t like despair, but here I am.
