>> Jason: 2021 BROUGHT US A
FREE BRITNEY, A SPACE FOR
BILLIONAIRES, AND IT TURNED
LAURA AND RAYMOND INTO TIKTOK
STARS, BUT IT ALSO BROUGHT US
COMPLETELY UNHINGED AND
DISCREDITED MEDIA.
IF WE HAD LISTENED TO THEM
INSTEAD OF DOING OUR OWN
RESEARCH AND QUESTIONING THOSE
IN CHARGE, THINGS WOULD BE
REALLY DIFFERENT.
HERE’S JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF
WHAT THEY TRIED TO GET US TO
BELIEVE THIS YEAR.
>> CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
IT’S A BOGEYMAN.
IT’S NOT EVEN TAUGHT IN MOST
K-12 SCHOOLS.
>> JANUARY 6TH WAS WORSE THAN
9/11.
>> WE KNOW THE VACCINES WORK
WELL ENOUGH THAT THE VIRUS STOPS
WITH EVERY VACCINATED PERSON.
>> Jason: JOINING ME NOW IS
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON, HOOVER
INSTITUTION SENIOR FELLOW, AND
AUTHOR OF "DYING CITIZEN."
VICTOR, I MEAN, RACHEL MADDOW
SAID IT, IT MUST BE TRUE.
IF YOU’VE GOT VACCINATED, NO
CHANCE.
IT STOPS RIGHT THERE.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I DON’T WANT
TO BE TOO CYNICAL, JASON, BUT I
DON’T THINK THE MEDIA EXISTS AS
WE ONCE KNEW IT.
IT’S FUSED WITH THE LEFT-WING
MOVEMENT IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THAT’S WHY TRUMP HAD NOT BEEN IN
OFFICE MORE THAN 90 DAYS AND THE
LIBERAL CENTER AT HARVARD SAID
THAT 93% OF THE COVERAGE WAS
BIASED AGAINST HIM, AND WE HAD
PROMINENT MARQUEE JOURNALIST
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, RITTENHOUSE
RITTENHOUSE, RAMOS, THEY SAID
THEY COULDN’T BE DISINTERESTED
BECAUSE OF THE TRUMP PHENOMENON,
AND SO IF YOU’D BELIEVED THE
MEDIA, WE HEARD ANDREW CUOMO WAS
A PROFESSIONAL AND GIFTED
GOVERNOR.
CHRIS CUOMO IS A PROFESSIONAL
JOURNALIST.
THERE WAS NO RELATION BETWEEN
THE WUHAN LEVEL FOR LAB AND THE
ORIGINS OF COVID.
THE CHINESE WERE VERY SOBER AND
JUDICIOUS THE WAY THEY HANDLED
THE OUTBREAK.
WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMEHOW IN
WAUKESHA THERE WAS SOME
AUTOPILOT SUV THAT KILLED SIX
PEOPLE AND INJURED 62 BUT WE
DIDN’T REALLY KNOW MUCH ABOUT
THE DRIVER.
WE WERE TOLD THE RITTENHOUSE
TRIAL WHERE THERE WAS WHITE ON
WHITE VIOLENCE WAS SIMPLY ABOUT
RACE.
AND I COULD GO ON.
SO THEY DON’T -- THEY DON’T FEEL
THAT THEY HAVE TO BE AND THEY
SHOULD NOT BE DISINTERESTED.
THE OTHER THINK THEY DO IS THEY
ARE A MEGAPHONE FOR DEMOCRATIC
TALKING POINTS ABOUT EVERY THREE
OR FOUR WEEKS.
THEY FLOOD THE AIRWAYS AND THE
PRINT MEDIA WITH A THEME AND
REMEMBER WHEN JOE BIDEN WENT
BELOW 40%, SUDDENLY DEMOCRACY
WAS IN DANGER IN 2022.
2024 WE CAN LOSE THE COUNTRY
AND THEY HAD JUST TOLD US IT WAS
VERY RESILIENT IN THE ELECTING
JOE BIDEN AND THEN WE WERE TOLD
THAT WE MIGHT FACE A COUP AND
MILITARY OFFICERS WERE WRITING
IN "THE WASHINGTON POST," FOR
EXAMPLE THERE WAS A DANGER OF A
COUP IN 2024.
VERY IRONIC, BECAUSE THERE WERE
PEOPLE ON THE LEFT THAT HAD
ALMOST ADVOCATED A COUP IF IT
WAS NECESSARY TO GET RID OF
DONALD TRUMP.
AND THEN WITH JOE MANCHIN
SUDDENLY A RENEGADE IN THE
SENATE AND NOW WE ARE FLOODED
THE LAST WEEK WITH THE IDEAL,
WELL, THE SENATE DOESN’T
PRACTICE EQUITY.
IT’S AN ARCHAIC INSTITUTION,
IT’S NOT FAIR THAT CALIFORNIA
DOESN’T GET THE SAME NUMERICAL
REPRESENTATION AS WYOMING EVEN
THOUGH IT’S ESSENTIAL TO THE
CONSTITUTION.
SO YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING
ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW AND THE ONE
PERSON -- THE ONE THING THAT BEN
RHODES, THE FORMER DEPUTY
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR TO
BARACK OBAMA SAID THAT WAS TRUE,
ABOUT ONLY ONE THING.
HE SAID THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE 20
AND 30 SOMETHING BUT KNOW
NOTHING AND WE CREATE AN ECHO
CHAMBER AND WE FEED THEM STUFF
AND THEY REVERBERATE AT AND
MAGNIFY IT BACK AND I THINK
THAT’S WHAT THE MEDIA IS.
IT’S NOT FAIR TO CALL THEM THE
MEDIA.
THEY ARE AN EXTENSION OF THIS
PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
>> Jason: I’VE GOT 30 SECONDS,
BUT IF I SAID TO YOU WHAT DID
JOE BIDEN ACTUALLY DO AND
ACCOMPLISH IN 2021, CAN YOU
REALLY HONESTLY NAME ANYTHING?
>> WELL, I THINK HE DID ONE
THING, HE TERRIFIED THE LEFT
BECAUSE THEY HAD TOLD US HE
COULD CAMPAIGN FROM THE
BASEMENT, IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF
COVID, HE WAS COMPLETELY IN
CONTROL OF HIS FACULTIES AND NOW
THEY LOOK AT THE POLLING AND
APPALLING WITH KAMALA HARRIS
THAT YOU COVERED, AND I THINK
THEY ARE TERRIFIED AND THEY ARE
STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME TO
CREATE A SCENARIO OR A LANDSCAPE
THAT SUGGESTS THAT HE IS
CHALLENGED BECAUSE THEY ARE
AFRAID THAT HE’S GOING TO TAKE
THEM DOWN TO HISTORIC DEFEAT.
>> Jason: WOW, YEAH.
VICTOR, YOU’RE ONE OF THE
SMARTEST GUYS WE GET TO TALK TO.
