Hugh turns to Cliff May, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to talk about Biden's dangerous delay tactic, which if delayed further will be a victory for Hamas. Victor Davis Hanson, with co-host Jack Fowler talks about how Biden and the Democrats have created what Hanson likes to call a “Frankenstein monster.” The campus protests, full Hamas sympathizers, a.k.a "useful idiots," are being subsidized by us, the taxpayers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
