As I indicated to you in an email last week, one of the most troubling aspects of Tucker Carlson is his continuing relationship with VP Vance, who has never publicly denounced Carlson’s virulent antisemitism, anti-Israel, anti-Trump rhetoric.
This issue was raised recently by Jeremy Boring in an interview with Rod Dreher, a former friend of Vance, and each of them view it as gravely concerning. The relevant part of the interview only lasts six minutes (1:10:10-1:16:10): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do0TMvGJHJc
For those of your readers who do not have the time or desire to listen to the videos, here is the transcript of Hanson speaking of JD Vance on Eric Metaxas’ podcast:
“Yeah. I I think I think his strategy and I’m this is just speculation is he understands that 40% of the electorate are white working-class voters without college degrees and they are 67 68% MAGA voters and they’ve made the difference. They have abandoned the Democratic party and his future both from his own background and his own political positions. He wants to keep that margin because he will not do as well with minorities as other Republicans might do. And so I think he keeps saying talk and he has legitimate legitimate uh points of of argument. He says, you know, they were the losers of globalization. They can’t afford homes.
Uh they’ve been suffering from imported drugs, open borders, all of that. and they’re very patriotic and they were discriminated by DEI and all that, but at some point, uh, that’s not going to get you elected. And I’m just talking now in crass political terms. So, he’s going to lose a lot of people. And they’re not just crazy never Trumpers. They’re people who like him that are conservative that were uh all in on him being the next nominee. and but they’re very very upset because I’ve talked to hundreds of them and they they feel that he didn’t come out strongly against Nick Fuentes as you point out. He did not come out against Tucker and he said things himself that could be interpreted that he uh supports. And when he says things like he’s still troubled by who the Charlie Kirk thing or the Mossad or there’s some things we’ll never know about Epstein. All of that that reinforces that that sense that he is too close to people that are unstable.” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2i-OVuHz0o ) minute: second 4:48-6:41
Excuse me if I am commenting to much on this matter, but it deeply troubles me that Vance has not publicly denounced these anti-sematic, anti-Trump lunatics and grifters and that he has made statements, dubious in themselves, that lend credence to their wild claims.
Accordingly, Rubio said, the US is launching “a diplomatic campaign with a simple message – sovereign states over globalism.” This is where the tenon of communism fits into the mortise of globalist ambition. Communism is by nature the enemy of national sovereignty. In essence, “sovereignty” is just a fancy word for freedom, underwritten in the indelible ink of legitimacy. Communism and its avatars are enemies of freedom, abetted by the scribes of utopian aspiration.
Bill,
Hanson is, indeed, “the man.”
Here he is this morning on American Greatness with a splendid little article, “The Socialist Monster Awakens”: https://amgreatness.com/2026/07/28/the-socialist-monster-awakes/
And also on X, on the deranged monster Fauci: https://x.com/VDHanson/status/2081853816975278355

Bill,
I commented earlier this morning, but what I wrote was sent to “moderation,” probably because it contains two URLs.
