for joining us. biden on the cliff is the focus of tonight s angle. it was a beautiful, somber setting in france to commemo commemorate 80th anniversary of d d-day today. the biden team hoped remarks would resonate with voters back home, showcasing him as a reagan-esque figure. the speech they wrote for him merely demonstrated how muddeled, unserious and unrea unrealistic he is. they think they can convince us that russia and ukraine pose the same existential threat to the west as germany did in 1944. pre-k we will not walk away. if we do, ukraine will be subgaited. ukraine s neighbors and all of europe will be threatened. in their hour of trial, allied forces of d-day did their duty. the question for us, in our hour of trial, will we do ours? laura: this is ridiculous, european nations are so unconcerned about the russian threat that to do this many of them are not meeting their own targets, decided in 2014 to spend 2% of gdp on defense. biden s speech comes across as irre
will be an acceptable response to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent. and then biden today. isolationism was not the answer 80 years ago, and it is not the answer today. we know the dark forces that these heroes fought against 08 years ago. they never fade. laura: victor, reagan was against isolationism. biden is against isolationism. is the parallel real? no. reagan spoke from confidence. you noticed how quiet he was and determined. he wasn t screaming or yelling. he was a member of that generation. and he was as close to d-day as he is to biden. it s a different world. and ronald reagan in that speech actually said to the russians that we didn t want a war with them. but what he was doing was speaking softly and carrying a big stick. he was ushering in 7% economic growth in 1984. he had rebuilt the military. and he was essentially saying to
the world we are very strong but we re not going to brag about it. we don t want war with you but it would be a very stupid thing to challenge the united states. biden in contrast is the baby boomer. so he is loud and he carries a twig. he ruined the border, hyper inflation. we owe $36 trillion. we are printing $34 billion a day. and military is short 45,000 troops. he thinks he can make up that material reality that debt by screaming and yelling and talking about russia and doing all of this. it s just the wrong way to do it. and you have to be quiet and strong and not loud and weak. he is weak and he is loud. and that s why he is loud because he knows what he has done to the military. he knows what he has done to the economy. and now he is trying to beat us over most americans, like reagan, would like to help ukraine defend itself. the majority do not want to give weapons to ukraine to carry offensive operations inside russia. because we remember this generation grew up with the
are a master of them, your advice to president trump? , wate three reagan presidential debates. notice the style, the calmness, the use of humor. staying balanced. second, answer the question you wish they would have asked. don t get involved in games with the reporters. every person on that stage is anti-trump. accept that going in and just relax. and then i would, as often ace could, i think, i would say to biden have you been to a grocery store? do you have any idea the damage your policies have done to everyday americans? and i would talk with the american people not with the politicians. and i would make my could entire debate about the future of the american people and the fact that biden is a failure. it s not complicated. i think if biden starts talking about taxes, i might be tempted to say you mean people who cheat on their taxes like hunter? i mean, is that what your
laura: this is our commander-in-chief. if in a biden second term, there is a realistic chance that american troops are going to be fighting russian troops, then president biden and the white house and the pentagon they need to be honest about this now. listen closely to today s speech. and to blinken s aggressive remarks lately, and you can hear the war drums beating in the background. biden was on the cliff today, but if he is going to push us over the cliff of war, we should all take that into account come election day. and that s the angle. joining us now is victor davis hanson be senior fellow at the hoover institution. reagan comparison, victor, i think we should devi delve moreo that. we in america have learned bitter lessons from two world wars. we have learned that isolationism never was and never
