Hello ladies, hello gentlemen, this is the Victor Davis Hanson show. I'm Jack Fowler, the host, the star and namesake is Victor Davis Hanson and he is the Martin and Eliandus and senior fellow at the Hoover institution and the Wayne and Marsha Buskey distinguished fellow in history.

At Hillsdale College two websites to tell you about one is Victor Hanson dot com. It's name is the blade of Perseus, but that's the web address.

You need to go there regularly. Some day Victor, I will learn how to pronounce that word.

But some day when you need to go there regularly and I'll tell you more why later and also just the news dot com that is John Solomon's website and this podcast finds it's happy home there.

Lots, lots, lots to talk about today. Believe this program is going to be up and out on the web on the web, worldwide webs on Tuesday, April 4th. And that is the day when former president Donald Trump is scheduled to be indicted in New York and we will get Victor's thoughts on that and plenty more right after these important messages.

Back with the Victor Davis Hanson show so Victor, you know, real little something here, the Trump indictment, we have multiple counts reported Lee near three dozen.

We have head fakes from them and hadn't DA Alvin Bragg said that the grand jury was in recess for a week while he was really what was really happening was he was crapping charges on business fraud against the former president.

The New York City surrender of Donald Trump has been coordinated between Bragg's office and Trump's council. The surrender is scheduled for Tuesday, the 4th.

Donald Trump may end up at the notorious Rikers Island in New York City, the hellhole. I think April 4th may be a day that will go down in jurisprudential infamy Victor.

Let's leave aside the talk of this is heard or helped Donald Trump as a 2024 candidate. I think that's the moment. Superfluous topic. What does this massive carpet bombing criminal indictment by Alvin Bragg and Haton D.A. against Donald Trump mean about the state of America?

Well, I don't recognize the country anymore because there's two systems of justice. If you take documents out and you're a vice president and you don't have any legal authority to declassify them and then you spread them through on secured locations, that's tolerable.

If you do it while you're president and you have the ability to declassify them almost by fear, then you're under and you're going to be the subject of a special council investigation.

So what I'm saying Jack is this. What did Donald Trump not do? I'll tell you what he did not do. He didn't destroy 30,000 emails that were under a federal subtenum as he'll be clung to it.

He didn't take devices that were on a federal subtenum and destroy their hard drives and wipe them clean and then joke about it. He didn't marry his sister so he could become a US citizen in a fake big-a-me case and to warp or evade US immigration law like Ilion Omar did.

He didn't take all of his devices that were on in his possession and were under federal subtenum and wipe them clean as the lawyers in the Mueller investigation did.

He didn't lie under oath in front of the Senate, flat out lied like James Clapper and then when he was called on it he said I gave the least on truth plans.

He didn't flat out lie like John Brennan did on two occasions when he was asked about whether he had spied illegally on Senate staff computers or whether he could confirm there was no pletural damage on drone assassinations.

He didn't doctor a document for a FISA court forage it, alter it and then get a slap on the wrist like Kevin Klein Smith. He didn't do that.

He didn't in the 2016 election hire a foreign national to work for him and pay that foreign national which is illegal to do on a campaign through three paywalls as Hillary Clinton did.

He didn't testify before Congress and on 245 occasions say that he could not remember or he didn't know anything about it as James Coney did.

He didn't go under congressional testimony as Robert Mueller did and the central question if they asked on Trump what do you know about this disclosure and he says nothing about it.

I wasn't concerned with it. Nothing like Robert Mueller did with the dossier and fusion GPS. He didn't do that.
