Victor Davis Hanson: Is Britain Experiencing Its Right-Wing George Floyd Moment?
6/4/20261 hr 11 min
Victor Davis Hanson covers the stalled Iran negotiations on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” argues that Iran is delaying while proxies attack and that the U.S. should issue firm demands and, if unmet, use decisive military pressure to restore deterrence. Victor and Jack Fowler react to the Henry Nowak killing in England, focusing on bodycam footage showing police handcuffing the dying victim after accepting the killer’s racism claim, and Hanson frames it as “two-tier” DEI policing contrasted with the George Floyd case and aftermath. The conversation broadens to backlash against immigration and assimilation, including protests over ICE detention despite past presidents’ higher deportation totals. They cover Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s sexting scandal and SS-related tattoo, and end with commentary on “Trans Period Pride” and transgender activism as a modern fad amid historical precedents.

We don't look at it rationally or empirically. We don't say, "Those drugs under any circumstances are quite dangerous that you're taking. These hormonal drugs, these steroids, all they're very dangerous drugs, especially at your age." We don't really know the particulars except the Sikh person was carrying a quote-unquote ceremonial sword, which is allowed apparently under DEI auspices that he has religious exemption, but it was a pretty big blade, and he stabbed this 19-year-old white male repeatedly and- They're just as culpable because they depend on new constituents. And why do they c- depend on new constituents? Because their agenda doesn't appeal to most people who have had seen their other flip side of that other jack.
