The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Want to Distract You From This Before Midterms

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, this is Victor Davis-Hansson for the Daily Signal. The November 2006 elections will be determined fairly or not, largely on the status of the economy. The left knows that. They know two things. One, that the enormous projected gain in oil and natural gas, production. Two, the deregulation and tax cuts involved in the big, beautiful bill that will kick in full in 2006, and some $10 trillion in foreign investment, even if that's maybe only half of what's promised, but that's an enormous amount, seven or eight times more than Biden received

Starting point is 00:00:52 in his last year of office. You add all of that up in an economy right now that is doing well, And Black Friday, following Thanksgiving, had almost $11 billion in online sales. That was a record, not just better than last year at this time under the Biden administration, but better than in any time in history. So the economy is already strong. And you can imagine that these catalysts and this stimuli that are coming, deregulation, tax reduction, massive foreign investment, expelling two million people from the United States per year, who were probably on social assistance involved, many cases of crime, you can see what's going to

Starting point is 00:01:36 happen. The economy is going to boom in 2006, and the left knows it. So what is their strategy? Don't talk about the Trump economy. And we've seen what? Go after Tesla, firebomb Tesla dealerships, drive Tesla off automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was a prince of darkness and he was involved in Doge, demonized Doge, go after ICE, have street theater, have riots, call them Gestapo, say they're worse than Hitler, go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C., encourage massive resistance, call it illegal, shut down the government, shut down the government for longer than any period in history, 40 days, shut it down for no purpose. It gained nothing. it gained nothing. Shut it down. Have major senators on the Democratic side and representative

Starting point is 00:02:38 cut a video. Have them tell the American soldiers all 1.3 million active duty strong. You don't have to obey an order. If in your legal wisdom, your vast knowledge of jurisprudence of your private, and he says, go over that hill, I don't have to do it. It's illegal. Create disruption. And the piece of resistance, the Epstein files. You have the Epstein files for four years under Joe Biden, Democrats. You knew that Donald Trump expelled him from his circle of friends before, before, before he was convicted of anything. But there are about 80 percent or 90 percent of people in the so-called Epstein files. These are emails, these are text messages, these are transcripts from court proceedings.

Starting point is 00:03:27 These may be IRS files, but 80 to 90% are Democrats. That's why it was not released during the Democratic administration. But no matter, just say Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein file. So Donald Trump finally says, okay, they're released. And what do we hear? Crickets. Maybe a little bit about Larry Summers, Democrat, but silence. Why doesn't the left demand that every single name be released?

Starting point is 00:03:54 because they have more Democratic donors than Trump has Republican donors that are mentioned it. So the Epstein files like the shutdown, like the street theater, like all the videos, like all the smutty language, they were designed for one point. One reason, one goal. Keep your mind off the economy. Create a word called affordability. The real message is we Democrats raised prices by 21. percent when we were in power, five, five point two percent per year. We had enormous budget deficits.

Starting point is 00:04:33 We ran the debt up by $8 trillion. We had a $1.1 trillion deficit. Don't talk about that. Just say that Donald Trump, in 10 months, has a 3 percent inflation rate the same as when he entered office, and therefore he's responsible for the 21 percent that we ran up. And we'll call it a My message to the Trump administration and all of you listening is tune out all of the street theater, all the pornography, all the smutty language, all the insurrectionary activity, and just focus on the economy and talk two points, two points, how much better it is already than the average of the four years prior, but more importantly, demonstrate why it's going to be booming in 2006. and why the Democrats don't want you to think about that.
