The Victor Davis Hanson Show
A Swing and a Hit: DOGE and Diplomacy

like Mr. Cooks or whatever his name was, is going to think, you know, if I shoot him, I can think of two things. The Secret Service seems pretty sloppy. They don't probably like him any more than I do. And I'll be famous because I will kill Hitler Trump. Did we say that we should outlaw that? No.

What we're saying is we people who say that hate speech should be discredited and humiliated, boycott them, do anything. But you don't need to make a law against that. I have never in my life said that any politician, and I think most people out there haven't either, was Hitler.

And Obama got, you could make an argument that some of the things Obama and Biden did with Lois Lerner in the case of Obama or Donald Trump weaponizing the FBI came very close to to what a fascistic state would try to do, and the selective prosecution or asymmetrical prosecution of certain people. But they weren't Hitler. Hitler was somebody who caused 70 million deaths in the Holocaust.

Anyway, Germany has a tendency. It's not going to work. Why do people do this? Final rant. Why do they have hate speech? Because it's an indication that they are unpopular and they're failing. If the German government was popular and German, like, let's say, I don't know, not Merkel, the pre-Merkel helmet called. 12 years as chancellor, everybody liked him. The German miracle was in full blast.

Merkel is the one that blew up the German economy, the German culture, the German reputation, and her hatred of Trump, among other things, and her open borders and her insane Green New Deal. That woman will go down in history as the worst German chancellor. And no, she wasn't Hitler. But my point is, this is, they are insecure. And why are they insecure? Because they have created a Germany.

As I said earlier, it's like the Morgenthau plan of World War II, where you were going to make Germany by coercion after the war. The U.S. Treasury Secretary said we should turn them into a pastoral state, you know, and deindustrialize the rural. And that's what they're doing. So their energy costs four times more than it does in the United States. Their fertility rate is 1.5%.

They let in 16% of their population is not born in Germany. They do not assimilate or integrate as well as we do. They have let in percentage-wise a higher number of illegal immigration than even Joe Biden did. Their companies are increasingly non-competitive. They lie about their percentage of GDP they spend on defense, but it's about 1.5. It is not the two, and they know that.
