Trump Assassination Attempt, Kimmel’s WHCD Joke, Comey & Fauci Indictments, and the UK Visit | VDH
4/30/20261 hr 22 min
Violent rhetoric from celebrities and Democrats helped create the climate reflected in President Donald Trump’s third would-be assassin’s manifesto, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Hanson assesses Barack Obama’s response to the most recent assassination attempts, recounts attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2003, and condemns Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Melania Trump while defending free-speech rights and consumer boycotts of Disney. Hanson and co-host Jack Fowler cover James Comey’s second indictment, this time over the “86 47” beach post, and Dr. David Morens’, described as a top Fauci adviser, run-in with the law over alleged concealment and destruction of COVID-origin records. The conversation also touches on Virginia redistricting, U.S.–UK relations during the King’s visit and Trump’s remarks on shared Anglo-American heritage, and ends with comments from viewers and Hanson’s personal health update.

First 90 secondsJack Fowler· Host0:00
James Comey has been indicted again for his eighty-six forty-seven sand art. [laughs] Jimmy Kimmel, who's- God ... got a role in this, uh, uh, this kerfuffle.
Victor Davis Hanson· Host0:12
Yeah.
Jack Fowler· Host0:12
It's not a kerfuffle. It's his assassination attempt egged on by morons.
Victor Davis Hanson· Host0:16
Does Disney have a prerogative? Yes, they can put him on there if they want. If they wanna be that stupid, it's their choice. And do people have a choice to lobby to get him off? Yes. So he's a bore, he's talentless, he's a mean-spirited person, but he has a right to sound off, and people have a right to say, "We wanna go to Disneyland. We don't wanna buy anything to do with Disney. We're done with you because you're putting this guy on to get ratings." The more he's on there, the more he's foul-mouthed, the more he hates Trump- So beautiful.
Speaker 2· Soundbite0:47
Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.
Victor Davis Hanson· Host0:50
You all know that if anybody, anybody said 25% of what he has said about Barack Obama, he would be yanked with a cane in two seconds off the stage. But was Comey- What- Did he go to the same college as you?
Jack Fowler· Host1:02
No, he, he... No, he... What is this? [laughs] Like, you think... Fordham, because I went to Fordham for one year, and Brennan went to Fordham, that poisons everyone who went to Fordham.
Victor Davis Hanson· Host1:12
Are you accusing me of saying that all Catholic Irish boys look alike?
Jack Fowler· Host1:17
You paint with a broad brush sometimes, my friend. So- [laughs]
