As a White South African, after 30 years of Black rule, the Black man remains viciously racist and insults the White man and blames him for everything that goes wrong in his life and country. Thirty years of Black rule and 'DEI' and South Africa is a failed state. The discrimination I experienced in the workplace was beyond anything I could have imagined. A tragedy for the ages.
That’s happening in America as we speak…. I can’t say that it’s as bad as South Africa (for obvious reasons), but affirmative action, which is nothing more than a somewhat “passive” form of DEI for the past 40yrs, along with formal DEI, and it’s as bad as it’s ever been in America. And, it’s not just race, it’s also sex, political affiliation, sexual identity. The part that keeps you up at night is knowing that the worst cases of this “reverse discrimination” is happening in hospitals…….by design.
We are stuck in weimar Germany high inflation no morals no faith in our government just obsessed with pleasure and I'm scared to see what is coming next
Thank-you for having Dr. Hanson on your show. He is an excellent historian, correlates the past with the present. A true patriot who strongly believes in our Constitution.
This is a way to get Jews back to their country BEFORE Jesus RETURNS. Come Jesus for your Bride. You KNOW your SHEEP and your Sheep KNOWS their Shepard.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp It's staggering what idiots you and this other guy are along with countless others. You actually have the audacity to argue against a constitutional scholar that free speech means protesting whenever, wherever and however long you want to whatever tactics you feel like employing, BUT don't misgender someone because now we have a problem. Unbelievable.
@@elsysrp Actually what is crazy Elsysrp is folks like you called the Palestinian freedom fighters "terrorists". And supporting Israel who has been terrorizing and murdering Palestinians since they stole their land staring in 1948 ~ 75-years ago. Get a clue!

It's interesting how people accuse Victor Davis Hanson of being "biased" just because he presents the facts as they are and draws clear conclusions from those facts. Accusing someone of bias for this reason means that the accuser doesn't admit the facts or the right to present those facts and a very clear interpretation of them. I may even disagree with one or other perspective, but in the whole Victor Davis Hanson approach to the undeniable reality and his obvious intellectual honesty is completely right and respectful.
@@madmelwood3778 He used to actually sound rational, morally sound... This ranting about "leftists" and cops getting "slaughtered" and we need to crush protesting to give safe spaces to Jews.... Like you've got to be kidding me. And then everyone in the comments is robotically affirming this nonsense. Jesus I thought maybe I was going insane for a minute. What is wrong with people?
@@SubvertTheState He said they have the right to peacefully protest but once it becomes disruptive and stops others from their daily routine and threatening it’s not longer peaceful.
@elsbethsutherland624 Would that be Zeus, Allah, Yahweh or Thor, Elsbeth? There have been hundreds of "Gods". All bringing wars and violence. On the first day ~ Man created God.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp Five proofs that God exists, (St Thomas Aquinas): 1. Motion - everything moves. 2. Causation - everything has a reason to be here. 3. Contingency - we all depend on something. 4. Degree - we seek perfection. 5. Final Cause - order and structure
This is RUBBISH. The students are protesting a genocide. The ringleaders are increasingly JEWS. Jews can be against ISRAEL. Watch a real expert like Norman Finkelstein. This man is cheery-picking as few mad quotes. It's not complicated. They say they're against genocide..... They're against genocide.
The democrats made one FATAL mistake, that will end them and the democrat party for good, they STOLE the 2020 election to get Biden in the White House, Obama was elected ,Biden is 100% illegitimate, so when the Trump DOJ takes power, and overturns the 2020 election based on REAL proof it was stolen, then the DOJ can put all the democrat leaders on trial for actual TREASON and convict them, the millions of illegals can be MASS deported because an ILLEGITIMATE President let them in, NO HEARINGS !! Because of that first act of treason, Democrats will be helpless legally to preserve any of Bidens actions, AND the criminal Democrats will have no power to protect everyone at MSNBC from being charged with TREASON also.
These people don't assimilate. America welcomes all these tyrants that are helping to destroy the country from within. Why would Columbia have an Egyptian president? They couldn't find a bright American? Spiraling down hill.
It is deeply disturbing that a generation of parents have worked hard and paid money to send these young people to universities to be radicalised and used by activists
Victor has no understanding of the 75 year illegal occupation of Palestine. President Truman's Secretary of Defense General Marshall warned, that displacing the Palestinians would be a grave mistake for the US; Gen Marshall was right. You cannot ethnically cleanse an area for a land grab & think it leads to peace. The students are saving our face, are well informed, & show a moral courage. We cannot tear up the Bill of Rights Free Speech principle!
@@HedyForFunLamarrI'm glad the British gave the Jews their land back what the Muslims stole hundreds of years ago, the Muslims took it by conquest and it has been taken back by conquest. Rule Britannia 🇬🇧🇺🇲
@@HedyForFunLamarr the only ethnic cleansing was the Holocaust in Europe. The Arabs attempted an ethnic cleansing by invading Israel. All attempts at peace were rejected by the Arabs because they have an all or nothing strategy. You are clearly ignorant. Completely.
I grew up with alot of Jewish Americans in my town and school system and without a second thought found the overwhelming vast majority to be very good Americans and very decent people. The Jewish familys have great respect for education and like the Asians are high achievers. I have not known any Hamas but I can tell you I strongly dislike what I have seen so far.
I never saw myself as “white” until a few years ago. Suddenly I feel threatened because of my skin color, and I look at “white people” as my natural allies. It’s the upside down of how I was raised, but I have to survive.
@user-rm8gt6qq3r I wish we all just treated one another as people. What I am saying is the color blind society I grew up in is being thrown out in favor of a racist society where people are judged by their skin color. It’s crazy
@user-rm8gt6qq3rI fell in love with a beautiful and super smart black girl in college. She told me her father was virulently racist against white people and that he would disown her if she married me. Broke my heart
@user-rm8gt6qq3r I married someone else. Who I love and am devoted to. But I remember my beautiful friend. I am very sorry you were disowned. That is terrible
To the comments about genocide and Israel I would like to add that, firstly, Judaism (and Christianity for that matter), predates Islam. The jews have been in Israel for thousands of years. Secondly, regarding the facts of ethnic cleansing. In the 1940s in Libya there were 35,000 Jews and today there are zero; in Egypt there were 85,000 and today there are three; in Tunisia there were 100,000 Jews, today there are 1,500; in Iraq there were 100,000 Jews, now there are less than 10; in 1948 there were 7,000 Jews in Lebanon, today there are sixty. It is the same in Syria, Iran, Jordan, etc. Further, non-Muslims minorities in Muslim countries (Iran, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq, etc.) such as Christians, are being persecuted (including the kidnapping and forced conversion of Coptic Christian girls to Islam, who are then sold as brides) are disappearing. In Iran, the Bahai, Zarathustras, and Baloch are being tortured and murdered. Women in Iran aren’t doing so well either. And let’s not forget the Kurds who are fighting for independence. There also used to be millions of Hindus in Muslim countries but they are also disappearing. Meanwhile, the population in Gaza has grown from 63,444 in 1950 to an estimated 800,636 in 2024. If Israel is practicing genocide, then they are really lousy at it. When looking at how non-Muslim communities are treated in Muslim countries the facts speak for themselves. Funny how we never see any protests or civil disobedience over any of that.
This is all true. Unfortunately very few of our brainwashed youth have the attention span or the interest to absorb these facts. They've learned the intersectional oppression matrix and think this is all they need to reach firm conclusions on the Israel/Gaza issue.
Archaeology says people have lived in this area for 300,000 years. Judaism/christianity/islam are cultural phenomenons borrowed/plagiarized from Babylonian/akkadian/sumerian cultures. You should visit museums more so you’ll realize that everything you think is made up nonsense. Genomics proves theres no such thing as jewish people. Everyone is a mutt. Your bible is not a land deed.
@@katyakompaneyets7982 b/c they are screwed by US policies over decades. Not just happened in bubble what we did oversea as an empire. Not big surprise if we let 2-party system in office, we will be attacked if we don't change our policies and promote peace around the world.
Im an ironworker and as far as the job site goes i walk around looking for bathrooms or the food trucks and when i ask directions i cant understand them. Its like im not even living in America anymore.
Always right on the money Dr. Davis Hanson. I find that listening to you is reassuring and terifying at the same tame. Your words resonate with many of the horrible situations that we are living right now.
I can attest to the reduction of standards at the college level as far back as 1993, when I finally achieved my childhood dreams of a college degree, a full 20 years after I graduated from what would be considered a mediocre, midwestern high school. The junior college challenge was learning to study, but got through that handily (well, except for algebra -- that was hard for me). Upon my arrival at the university level, I was expecting it to be more difficult but it wasn't. In many respects, the academic standards and demands of my high school well exceeded those of the university I attended. In early 2002, in pursuit of a graduate degree, I was thrilled to have been accepted at Georgetown University! Again, I expected much greater challenge than I experienced -- mind you, I'm no genius -- and was surprised by the lack of academic demands and excellence. As a new convert to the Catholic Church, I was looking forward to a thoroughly Catholic education, at the oldest Catholic university in the country. I was thoroughly disappointed. It was a party school where morality and ethics were out the window. Writing assignments that were opinion, or position papers, were down graded if one did not echo the 'correct' position. Half way through my studies, my 27 year old son was diagnosed with leukemia, so I withdrew, without a backward glance, to return home and attend to him. I have no regrets.
Brilliant to hear VDH speak the truth 💯. He is truly one of the few who say it like it is here in the USA. In point of fact, the chaos must be overturned and done with even a shred of the insight that VDH possesses and expresses. BRAVO 👏 AND, thank you for having him speak freely, Steven. Especially now with the EU/UK situation. 🇺🇸
I saw this coming...in 2016. Just a few miles from Dr. Hanson's office. Young 23 year old female with Pro-Palestine sitckers all over her laptop during a start up meeting. I think the organization/financing of this movement started a long time ago. They are very strategic and planning in advance.
hehehe you bet they are...make no mistake the origins of these movements in the US are NOT organic. They have been manufactured by foreign interests. 100%
you must be new. this started way before that with obama calling everyone islamophobes when criticizing ANYTHING to do with the middle east/radical islam/terrorists
Yes we shouldn't support our biggest ally in the near east and allow the only western free society in the whole region to be destroyed along with the descendants of Shoah survivors.
Enoch Powell was correct. Race, Tribe. That is the default, healthy condition. All human beings seek it. All find it. As we are seeing in the yearning of the new left to create and join a hard tribal and racial grouping. Every human being is race and tribe based. Every one. Without exception.
Nonsense. The Brits have themselves to blame for allowing, and continue allowing, mass immigration from the Muslim World. The Jews are tiny minority there compared to Muslims. We all know the Muslims run the show in England; not Jews. Don’t try to pull any of that IslamoNazi BS here buddy.

Most don't even know what river to what sea the chant endlessly about... And to protest the death of one human people by advocating for the death of another like you do just makes any argument you make ridiculous... You don't even bring up the genocide in Burma or the senseless deaths in Sudan.... So your your morals are phony
@@HedyForFunLamarr The Jewish people made the down-payment on their land at Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Mauthausen, and all the other camps. Maybe you should visit a few.
What buffoonery. The Palestinians elect Hamas and people scratch their head at the result. Gaza could have been transformed into a paradise. Instead, they choose to buy rockets. This is a good example of cause and effect.
The USA is an occupied government and has been for over 100 years. Am I the only one that has noticed that the USA has been in perpetual war since the creation of the Fed?
Terrific report--great questioning. Victor has the insight into so much. I live in rural America (Utah)--good luck to anyone trying to pull any tricks here. There is a trained army out here. Everyone is so angry at this regime.
VDH. Always new information. No matter how up to date we think, you drop these inciteful gems. Your time-line of serial Trump prosecutions; like a Sherlock Holmes reasoning of who stabbed what and when, you nail the connections. For Joe Bloggs judgement.
They sure do have the right, but that's a specious take on what is happening. To wit: Just recently, the Pro-Hamas protestors, such as they are, defaced a Civil War statue here in NYC. Now, that statue represents a war solely fought for the cause of freedom -- it had no other purpose for occurring. Now, why would these so-called protestors, in the supposed name of "freedom," desecrate a statue that stands for exactly what they claim to believe in? The answer is, Because that's NOT what they're about. It's a smoke-and-mirrors operation, a classic cry-wolf scenario. While they cry "Freedom!", they're really using it as a cloak under which to agitate, and spread fear, discord and hatred. It's been proven that they're paid agitators, funded by Left-leaning billionaires who want to abolish that pesky thing called Democracy. As Davis correctly states, there is no longer a nuanced line between anti-Israel and anti-Semitism. The people on campuses aren't looking to enlighten; rather, they're openly calling for Jews to be eradicated from the world: it's completely overt in their rhetoric. All this, ironically, while they tell us to stop the genocide (another much-misused word, that). As with BLM and George Floyd, they've taken what used to be legitimate talking points and conflated them into hateful and bigoted simplicities. Meanwhile, the college kids are undereducated and indoctrinated, which makes them perfect mules for the agitators who would love nothing more than to raze the whole of Western civilization. I can't for the life of me see how anyone could think that this is going to turn out well. And, if it truly is some sort of Utopia that these people are looking to achieve, that makes it all the more horrifying.
Remember the small communities near Gaza border were peace loving,they had an activist murdered whom had given here life to fighting for Palestine. HAMAS killed her.Be careful who you sit down with
Wow, awesome analogy! VDH always explains things that us non-elitist can understand. He truly is a Patriot who knows our history and how our wonderful Constitution has kept us free going on 250 years. Too bad there is such a fervor to tear it apart now. However, throughout history most kingdoms have lasts between 200 and 250 years and then the end has come. I'm faith-based so I put my future in the hands of Almighty God!
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp Oh it's just a genocide, no big deal. Let's worry about important stuff like when the next Taylor Swift album is coming out. These fools and cowards are such a pestilence!

About 12 to 15 yrs ago I was listening to talk radio while driving in the evening. A professor from UCLA was stating the drop in intelligence of his students. He lamented the quality of work and testing, to be honest I can’t remember all the examples he gave. However I remember him being concerned at a noticeable difference between students of the 80s and 90s compared to 00. This was with some affirmative action, but long before DEI. A side note, my nephew was in AP Advance Placement classes in high school circa 2014. He is white and very progressive as his parents. Black and Hispanics sued for the right to be in AP classes. The school district opened the AP classes to anyone who wanted to take those courses. My nephew said his classes were dumbed down and slowed down. He lamented his frustration and had racial opinions when it impacted him. However, he is all for DEI and pro-Palestinian today.
I'll post the same reply to you: Do you actually understand what the word "genocide" even means? Israel has been attacked and is fighting for it's survival. If Hamas is not defeated, it will simply regroup and try again. Would you have been happy for the Nazis to have been pushed back only to the Rhine and Hitler left in power? The only "genocide" in prospect in the Middle East is the total destruction and massacre of the Jewish people.
