Victor Davis Hanson: The FBI’s Secret Trump Probe, Birthright Citizenship, and the WNBA’s Race War

The WNBA erupts into controversy after Sophie Cunningham is clotheslined during a game, with the incident quickly becoming a flashpoint over race, politics, and the culture war in the WNBA.  On today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler examine the FBI’s “Oxford Comma” investigation, and the new questions it raises about the Trump-Russia probe and alleged political bias within federal law enforcement. They examine the topic of birthright citizenship, and Trump’s executive order targeting birth tourism.  They also discuss the WNBA, focusing Sophie Cunningham’s clotheslining incident, Caitlin Clark’s impact on the league, and the racial and political controversy surrounding both players. Hanson and Fowler discuss how Clark has transformed the WNBA’s popularity and financial prospects while criticizing the league’s ideological divisions. The episode also tackles transgender athletes and Seth Moulton’s reversal on the issue before closing with Tucker Carlson’s proposed third party and the potential consequences for the Republican Party.  My Patriot Supply - Visit http://WWW.PREPAREWITHVDH.COM to enter My Patriot Supply’s Road to Preparedness Challenge for a chance to win an almost $600 bundle of premium preparedness gear!   No purchase necessary.
