Historian Victor Davis Hanson reacts on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' to media bias, baseless polls
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
We want to start with an
overview of all. We just seen.
We cant think of anyone better
to provide that overview. Then
Victor Davis Hanson, who joins us
now.
Thank you so much for joining
us.
Where do you think we are right
now?
I think im really worried.
Like you are
a constitutional republic, it
relies more unjust law as
protocols and good faith
tradition.
We been told for three months.
This would be a landslide
that was the media mantra every
day.
This is the media with ninety three percent bias.
Six hundred thousand On600000 uncounted vote
Arizona and we dont have any
idea, except that Donald Trump
has the lead in Pennsylvania
at the media, told us that this
could not happen and they did
that. Why
did they do it? So we would get
information or be better
citizens.
No two get momentum for one of
the candidates
we heard Arizona was in the bag,
its all done.
People called that state before
they did Texas and Florida. In
some cases
we go to the posters. We think
they learned their lesson in
two thousand and sixteen all of their
pseudoscientific. Ninety point six or eighty four point two
that was all over with:
they were completely
discredited.
They came back and by September
September they were saying eighty nine percent
chance of a biotin victory and
we are told landslide.
So we turn on our televisions
and what we learn.
They are discredited to gun, but
they did set a narrative.
We are bill, weld dirt, losing
faith in our political
institutions. They
condition the electorate
that the very likely was
impossible.
We had this big poster mix. You
mix big tech. The president of
the United States has legitimate
reasons to have the sanctity of
their reactions.
We have a private entity, a
twitter, CEO saying you have to
be warned about the President
says when he uses twitter or
people throughout this council.
People are saying its our
property. We can do what we
want.
Then we have the big banks.
They are targeting individual
senators, one hundred dollars million for
straight racism,
Mitch Mcconnell is going to
win no matter what. But what was
the purpose?
We want to get on tv and be a
point man for judicial
confirmations or Cavanaugh
hearings. We are going to go
after you and were going to
tell everybody else. We are
really going to go after you
knee Senate race and to bankrupt
you and make your life for
stomach miserable
im, worried
you mix, big media, big tech, big
banks and big posters. We get
back to the same thing. The
privileged elite, who have no
idea whats going on in the
interior of the country, but
fear it very greatly
at this election was a story
between academia, Hollywood
celebrities, Silicon Valley, the
media, the big banks
Wall Street and who does
Donald Trump have on his side.
The people at the rallies and
outreach to minorities. Hes got
talk, radio and thats about it
very worried. People are gaining
or using influence in a way,
thats really warping. The
constitutional system that has
worked really well for two hundred and thirty three years
years.
Take a deep breath, not call
these states before we note
these decisions and let the
people decide
thats, not what they want.
Its a landslide landslide
landslide.
When you dont get a landslide,
you wont concede,
while you wont concede, because
the votes havent been counted,
they preconditioned the voters
to accept that
its failure, dangerous though my
very dangerous,
its a totalitarian society,
and yet I cant
help im looking for a bright
spot here, and I think there is
one
in the face of all that more
power on one side of a political
contest may be than ever in the
history of democracy.
It tens of millions of people
resisted
absolutely
here. We are sitting tonight.
Republicans have a good chance
of keeping the Senate.
They have picked up in the house
where we were told it would be
impossible and there is a
pathway for Donald Trump to win
the presidency.
They had none of the help of any
of these warped institutions
that the left relied on.
What the bottom line of the
subtext is. The left doesnt
have the fifty one percent approval of the
people.
The people are not with him and
they use these other levers to
condition a predesired result.
They dont have the people.
