Victor Davis Hanson: Canada Picked a Trade Fight With Trump—and It’s Backfiring https://youtu.be/p5Zew4_jIEs?si=kjVHg3u5wJshCx2r The Left’s emphasis on racial victimhood, DEI, and equality of outcomes has made race more—not less—central to American life, replacing an older ideal of integration and equal opportunity, Victor Davis Hanson argues on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” with Sami Winc. Hanson contends that disputed racial narratives and perceived double standards are producing growing resentment, fatigue, and social separation rather than racial reconciliation. Hanson and Sami Winc also examine Canada’s escalating trade dispute with the United States. They discuss the Minnesota Senate race, allegations surrounding election fraud, and political polarization. Hanson dives into broader concerns about the direction of the Democratic Party, exploring race and media coverage, debates over alleged lynching incidents, Black Lives Matter, affirmative action, and changing narratives around race in American politics. Hanson then discusses college programs he characterizes as racially segregated, drawing on a report about race-based housing and graduation programs, before sharing his own experiences teaching minority students and discussing race-conscious admissions and opportunities. The episode also discusses how Trump’s return to office changed the personnel and strategic approach behind his political movement
