In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the new direction of the Trump administration: Bondi after felons, Boston mayor coddles illegal child rapist, ICE can’t be denied, Zeldin and the misappropriation of funds, DOGE suggestions taking hold in DC, and Bowdoin College student suspended for pro-Palestinian encampment during protest.

You and Jack discussed Sheryl Crowe (sp?) and her assertion that she was giving up her Tesla due to Elon Musk’s crimes. Her announcement was accompanied by a video clip of her waiving goodbye to it. Judge Jeannine Pirro pointed out that there are leaves on the trees and ground in the clip. There aren’t any leaves on trees in Tennessee at this time of year so the claim was a lie.
I would appreciate victor’s analysis as to why the USA has a higher violent crime rate rate than Europe coupled with exceptionally high US incarceration rates. I am all for aggressive prosecution of drug dealers and the cartels, but I am unsure whether it really works to suppress illegal drugs. Granted, It works in China.
What is the difference between the deep state, that is, the nexus of the federal bureaucracy, NGOs, and the private foundations you mentioned, and an organized crime syndicate?
Maybe the deep state doesn’t off people in rivalries between factions-that we know of. But otherwise, its members come from a relatively heterogeneous group (instead of from an ethnic group), and they enrich themselves by stealing from honest, hard-working people, who have had no real recourse to defend themselves against it.
Another image comes to mind, a zoological one. These people are leeches, sucking the blood of the nation. Time to salt them.
Prof Hanson
Great subject matter every time. Wish the universities had more like you.
Love your pod casts and lectures .
My British Partial Differential Equation Professor in Ohlone College was from Cal State Fresno! He did a great job with me a High School Junior(me, third year in High School and US via Taiwan) and a Freshman (Iranian Monarch family). Cal State Fresno maybe better these days as they cost much less than Stanford and the UCs without the nazis and the commie indoctrination programs! I said this as an UCSD grad because MIT and Stanford both pick a female white student who qualified because they were female over a minority who have finish the entire lower division (two years) college Mathematic Classes.
California High Speed Railroad is a great idea and can be build in six month like the Dumbarton Bridge but the right people are not there and it will not help to elect all the bad politician like willy brown the mafia turn politician. He is the reason why Majority Asian and at some point Chinese County of San Francisco only had ONE Asian mayor. This is why China has Nuclear Weapon and was able to make iPhones.
