Starting point is 00:00:25 We'd love to talk. Business. What are the sources, the causes of Democratic rage? We see the manifestations everywhere. We have Hickham Jeffries holding a bat as if he's going to club somebody. Almost weekly, there's a video cut by representatives and senators on the Democratic side with the S-H-I-T word or the F-word. Then we have the internet mall suggesting that the over 100 people who were killed, many of them children deserve what they got. For A, they didn't believe in climate change.

Starting point is 00:00:55 B, they're from Red Steg, Texas. They were white and Christian, and they deserve what they got. Then we come to the dregs. These are the mobs. These are the people who firebombed Tesla dealerships. These are the people who in Los Angeles spit and burned American flags. They destroyed patrol cars. They looted stores. Try to kill ICE officers. These are the people that the Democratic Party either cannot or will not censor. Hello, this is Victor Davis-Hansson for the Daily Signal. What are the sources, the causes of democratic rage? We see the manifestations everywhere.

Starting point is 00:01:38 We have Hickham Jeffries holding a bat as if he's going to club somebody. And then he spoke for no reason for eight hours in the house. That didn't compare with Cory Booker. He did a pseudo-filibuster for 25 hours. Almost weekly, there's a video cut by representatives and senators on the Democratic side with the S-H-I-T word or the F word. And then we have Bernie Sanders and AOC going to these oligarch rallies on private jets damning the oligarch class when they are the people who fund the Democratic Party. That's one level of leftist outrage.

Starting point is 00:02:15 Then we have the Internet mob, and they do everything from canonize and glorify the assassin Luigi Mangione who killed the United Health Care Executive to even more grotes. Grotesquely and ghoulishly. Now they're on the internet suggesting that the over 100 people who were killed. Many of them children deserve what they got. For A, they didn't believe in climate change. This had nothing to do with climate change. B, they're from Redsteak, Texas that believes in small government. So they got small government. The National Weather Service had given prior warning with plenty of time to evacuate had they done so. And third, they believe. even Doge, so they deserve what they get. I'm being literal. Can you imagine people going on there? One, one internet person, Saeed Perkins, basically said they were white and Christian and they deserved what they got. That's the second level of leftist outrage. Then we come to what I would call the dregs. These are the mobs. These are the people who firebomb Tesla dealerships. These are the people who tried to run off the road Tesla drivers. These are the people who in Los Angeles waved Mexican flags and spit and burned American flags. They destroyed patrol cars.

Starting point is 00:03:34 They looted stores. They tried to swarm ice facilities. Two groups of them, one, a single shooter, another 10 arrested suspects, tried to kill ice officers. These are the people that the Democratic Party either cannot or will not censor. In fact, there's a bill in the... in the Congress on the part of Democrats to disallow mask on ICE officers and to make them wear a badge so they can be ready. They and their families can be ready targets. I could go on with these examples, but what is going on?

Starting point is 00:04:10 Why are they so angry? Why isn't this the old party of Bill Clinton or even the party of Barack Obama? One, they have no institutional power. They do not have the House. They do not have the Senate. they do not have the White House, they do not have the Supreme Court, they do not have the issues. There are 30, 70, 20, 80 issues, and they're on the wrong side. They can't have a plebiscite because the people would vote against men and women's sports.

Starting point is 00:04:36 People would vote against defund the police. People would vote against the Green New Deal. People would vote against the foreign policy that we've seen from Afghanistan to the Middle East. So they're angry. They have no power. Two, this time Donald Trump is not looking at symptoms or manifestations of the progressive project. No, no, no. He's not just saying we're going to address the border.

Starting point is 00:05:04 He's not just saying we have to deal with crime or the economy. He's trying to say how things got out of control the last 50 years. How did we get to a point where people actually believe biological men should compete in women's sports? How do they actually believe you could let in 12,000 people a day? How did you actually believe that you could let people loot storage with no consequences? And he came up with a solution. What are the sources of democratic power? It's the universities.

Starting point is 00:05:36 That's where people are indoctrinated. 95% of the faculty are hard left. It's the foundations that fund all of these groups. It's the media, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, PBS, NBC, PBS, NPR. It's the corporate boardroom. And so Donald Trump decided that he was going to go after the universities and hold them to account. Their endowments taxed. Federal grants reduced to 15% overcharges. Follow the civil rights laws or lose all of your federal money. No separation by race and graduations, themes, etc. These two lawsuits have been settled with CBS and ABC. about the media. They're very wary now of simply smearing and slandering until beyond truth. There's a third reason of a third source of the anger of the Democratic Party and the left in general. Donald Trump is successful. Had the Wall Street Journal and the other prognosticators been correct

Starting point is 00:06:40 in March, we wouldn't have this violence. They said Donald Trump would cause a recession. They said that his trade talk and tariff wars would cause the stock market to permanently, or at least this year, crash. They said we were going to have a recession. What happened? Jobs are up, inflation is low, tariff income is increased. The economy, GDP is growing. It didn't happen. They said that if Donald Trump bombed the installations in Iran, we would have a theater-wide war.

Starting point is 00:07:12 25 minutes and a ceasefire the next day. I could go on, but Donald Trump is having an amazing success. He stopped all illegal immigration at the border. There's zero. We were told you could not get 50,000 missing recruits back into the military. He did that. They're already back. And so to review, the left is going crazy because they can't enact their progressive agenda through any political method. There's no avenue for them to pass a law or an executive order or a Supreme Court decision. They're angry because they thought that even though they didn't have these levers of power, they could use these other institutions, cultural, social, economic, political, foundations, universities, K through 12, media sport. And now Donald Trump is going after them.

Starting point is 00:08:07 And third, they thought Donald Trump would fail and he'd be a buffoon and he succeeded in a more dramatic fashion than any president the last 50 years in his first six months, put it all together, and they're mad, mad, mad, and they should be because Donald Trump threatens not just to take their power away, but the sources of their power. Thank you very much.
