FOR REPORTING FOR US ALL MORNING LONG. RACHEL: AS FAR-LEFT AND PROGRESSIVE ACTIVISTS CONTINUES TO PUSH THEIR WOKE AGENDA, OUR NEXT GUEST POINTS OUT IN A NEW OP-ED ON FOXNEWS.COM THATS THERE IS ONE SECRET THEY WON'T ADMIT OUT LOUD. PETE: HERE TO TELL US MORE, HOOVER INSTITUTION SENIOR FELLOW AND ALL-AROUND SMART DUDE, VICTOR DAVIS HANSON. GREAT OP-ED AT FOXNEWS.COM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. I HOPE EVERYONE CHECKS IT OUT. GIVE US THE HOW AND THE WHY THIS HAPPENED. 65% OF AMERICANS TODAY MAKING MORE THAN $500,000 ARE DEMOCRAT, 74% OF THOSE WHO MAKE LESS THAN $100,000 A YEAR ARE REPUBLICAN. 17 OF THE 20TH WEALTHIEST ZIP CODES GAVE MORE MONEY TO DEMOCRATS THAN REPUBLICANS. THIS IS A NEW REALIGNMENT OF CLASS REALIGNMENT. HOW AND WHY? >> WELL, IT HAPPENED, I THINK, OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS OF GLOBALIZATION WHERE WE HAD THESE COASTAL CULTURES FROM NEW YORK TO MIAMI AND FROM SEATTLE TO LA JOLLA ON EACH COAST, AND THEY LOOKED OUT AT EUROPE RESPECTIVELY AND ASIA. AND PEOPLE WHO HAD SKILLS THAT COULD BE INTERNATIONALIZED, LAW, FINANCE, ACADEMIA, DID VERY WELL. THEY HAD A MARKET OF 7 BILLION PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE IN THE INTERIOR TENDED TO BE MANUFACTURING, THE TRADITIONAL MUSCULAR LABOR JOB, AND THEY DIDN'T DO SO WELL BECAUSE THEIR LABOR WAS REPLICATED OR SMALL BUSINESS OUTSOURCED. I THINK THERE'S TWO RAMIFICATIONS. WE SEEM BAFFLED WHEN WE LOOK AT THE MILITARY OR WE LOOK AT WALL STREET OR THE CORPORATIONS OR PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT AND SAY WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE LEFTIST. AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS THEY'RE VERY, VERY WEALTHY. THE CORPORATE CEO HAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT ATTITUDE. HE'S THE ONE WE HEAR, BUT WE DON'T HEAR THE SALESMAN DRIVING FROM CITY TO CITY OR THE SOUND ENGINEER VERSUS GEORGE CLOONEY OR THE PART-TIME TEACHER WHO'S TEACHING FOR $25,000 VERSUS THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATOR. WE HAVE A CLASS BREAKDOWN. AND, PETE, ANYBODY WHO'S EXEMPT FROM THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THEIR OWN IDEOLOGY TENDS TO BE VERY LEFT WING. IT'S EASY TO SAY LET'S DEFUND THE POLICE IF YOU LIVE IN A A NICE ZIP CODE. LAWRENCE: EXACTLY. >> AND IT'S EASY TO SAY LET'S HAVE AN OPEN BORDER AT MARTHA'S VINEYARD OR MALIBU. I THINK WE'VE GOT TO RE-EXAMINE THE WOKE MOVEMENT ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF CLOWCHT. I DON'T THINK MANY AMERICANS NEED TO HEAR ANOTHER LECTURE FROM BILL GATES OR MARK ZUCKERBERG OR MIKE BLOOMBERG ON THE OBAMAS OR OPRAH FROM HER $90 MILLION ESTATE OR MEGHAN MARKLE FROM HER $15 MILLION'S CANDIDATE OR HAVE LeBRON JAMES COME DOWN FROM THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS WITH HIS SECURITY DETAIL. THIS WAS A TOP-DOWN MOVEMENT THAT WAS ORGANIZED BY LARGELY WEALTHY PEOPLE WHO WERE NEVER GOING TO BE SUBJECT THE THAT THEY ADD SLOW CANDIDATED FOR THE REST OF US -- ADVOCATED FOR THE REST OF US. RACHEL: IT'S SO INTERESTING. WHEN I WAS HEARING YOU SPEAK, I COULD ONLY THINK ABOUT ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS JOE BIDEN DID WAS SHUT DOWN THAT PIPELINE WHICH JUST PUT SO MANY PEOPLE OUT OUT OF WORK BUT SATISFIED THE ELITES AND THEIR OBSESSION, YOU KNOW, WITH CLIMATE. AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW, THEY WERE, THEY'RE BEGGING OPEC TO PRODUCE MORE OIL. SO IT CLEARLY WASN'T ABOUT THE CLIMATE. >>, NO IT WASN'T. AND WHEN -- HERE IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY OF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS PRETTY IMPOVERISHED, WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE, THEIR QUESTIONS ARE NOT WHETHER THERE'S GOING TO BE A BLACK NATIONAL AN THEM AT A PRO FOOTBALL GAME. THE PRICE OF GASOLINE HAS SPIRALED, THE PRICE OF LUMBER AND ELECTRICITY HAS SPIRALED, THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT FOREST FIRES AND DROUGHT, AND ALL OF THESE ARE MIDDLE CLASS ISSUES, AND YET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT AND WHO ARE INFLUENCED BY THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MARKET CAPITALIZATION IN SILICON VALLEY ARE THE MEGAPHONES IN HOLLYWOOD. THINK THEY THINGS ARE GOING GREAT. I'VE GOT ENOUGH MONEY I CAN LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE I CAN BE SAFE, I HAVE LUXURY ITEMS, I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT GAS OR POWER. AND I THINK REALLY THE REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT THAT THEY'RE THE PARTY OF THE MIDDLE CLASS BECAUSE ALL THE DATA SHOWS THAT THEY ARE. THE CHARACTER OF A WEALTHY WHITE MALE REPUBLICAN PUTTING ON A GOLF COURSE IS NOT ACCURATE ANYMORE. LAWRENCE: VICTOR, IT IS THE POINT THAT THEY TALK DOWN TO THE MIDDLE CLASS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, WE KNOW BETTER, WE KNOW WHAT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU. TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND HOW THEY'RE LOSING THE MIDDLE CLASS. >> WELL, I THINK THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. I THINK THEY ARE CREATING A MIDDLE CLASS BACKLASH ACROSS RACIAL LINES. AND WE SEE THAT WITH BLACK MALES ESPECIALLY WHO ARE STARTING TO CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDES POLITICALLY, HISPANIC MALES. THEY'RE JOINING POOR WHITE MALES, AND THEY ALL SAY IS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN DIVIDES US BECAUSE THESE ELITES DO NOT LIKE US. AND YOU CAN SEE THE VOCABULARY, SPECIFICALLY IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, REMEMBER IT WAS BARACK OBAMA WHO SAID CLINGERS. HE ADDED TO THAT VOCABULARY -- HILLARY WITH IRREDEEMABLES AND JOE BIDEN WITH WORDS LIKE CHUMP. THEY HAVE NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR THE LOWER CLASSES. AND THEY FEEL THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY LACK THE EMPATHY OF THE POOR, THEY'RE NOT ROMANTIC LIKE THE POOR, AND THEY LACK THE TASTE OF THE UPPER CLASS. RACHEL: FASCINATING. YOUR PIECE IS SO GOOD AND TALKS SO MUCH ABOUT HOW THEY'RE LOSING THE WORKING CLASS MINORITIES THAT THEY PURPORT TO STAND FOR. SUCH A GREAT PIECE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING
