What would happen to the world if America were to fall?
What happens to the world if America falls? It will be utter chaos. For all the criticism of the left, they don't quite understand that they would be killed if there wasn't the United States. If you were to give a warning to actual Americans, we have to be very wary about taking people who were part of the failed state. Ilian Omar, her father was a colonel in Saeed Berri's army, responsible for killing 200,000 people. We saw what happened in UK. We saw what's happening in EU. I'm not optimistic about the future of Europe. This is the future for Europe. Illegal immigration. At numbers, you cannot assimilate or integrate. The only reason that they have survived major existential terrorist threat is the United States military.
How do you prevent the
Islamification from taking place in America? I
mean, if you look at Rashid Tlaib or you look at Hassan Piker, they have a desire to change the system because they can't win within it.
F*** the Supreme Court, obviously.
They hate the very system.
F*** this entire system.
That birthed
them. They're just making us more angry. You know what that makes us do?
When we went into war, did you support the decision? And two, now that we're in, did you expect it to be at this point?
I never thought we were going to start negotiating with a lunatic that doesn't care about the welfare of its own people. How do you
think this ends?
I think that's where we leave them, to stew in their own juice.
So I'm going to ask you an indirect way of helping our guys, our production team that works so hard, get a raise. Do you want to help them get a raise? This is how you can help us out. 49% of you watch our podcast, that our editors work so hard, producers, cutters, all of them, our production team, 32 of them that work here, they work very, very hard to deliver a good quality to you. If you enjoy our show, and you want to help this thing get bigger so we can take our talent that we have in-house to support this production all the time and maybe even give them a raise, then please subscribe to the channel. That allows us to get more viewership, and indirectly, it makes bigger opportunities for our current team that we have.
Thank you so much. Mr. Victor Davis Hanson, how are you? Very good. Very good. Thank
you for having me.
Thanks for making the time, for being here. I've been following your teaching for many, many years. You're on the list of mine of yourself, Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman. The amount of wisdom you share is I think everybody should consume more of your content, and it looks like millions are.
How does illegal immigration and open borders threaten U.S. stability?
So, again, thank you for your time. Thank you. So, you know, for somebody like yourself who got your Ph.D. from Stanford, you love farming, you've done a lot of different things, senior fellow at Hoover Institute, You have very well read in the history, you know, different things that happened in America. Open-ended question, what happens to the world if America falls?
Well, it will be utter chaos. For all the criticism of the left, they don't quite understand that the United States is a disinterested player in international finance. I know it has things that favor it, but it doesn't manipulate currencies like the Chinese. It doesn't cheat on patents or copyrights. It doesn't dump product below the cost of production. And the US military is the only reason why these choke points, whether it's the Strait of Hormuz, The Bosphorus, Suez, Gibraltar, Panama Canal, they're open to international commerce. It would be a war, a Hobbesian war of everybody against everybody if the United States was not there. And the other thing to remember very quickly is the Europeans, for all their occasional ankle-biting,
are not a viable entity anymore on their own. They have immigration problems, open borders problems, energy problems, fertility problems, defense project problems. And since World War II, the only reason that they survived the Russian onslaught into Eastern Europe and the only reason that they have survived major existential terrorist threat is the United States military.
