Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler evaluate Tucker Carlson’s recent comments praising Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, focusing on allegations about Platner’s past Nazi tattoo, extremist social-media statements, anti-Israel rhetoric, elite background, and questions about running for Senate while reportedly receiving 100% PTSD disability benefits. They discuss claims of election-related misconduct in Maine, including statements that non-citizens are registered to vote and the secretary of state’s refusal to provide voter files to the Justice Department.  Hanson argues Democrats pursue structural power changes when they doubt electability and compares right- and left-wing fringe figures’ treatment in elite institutions.  The episode also covers disruptions of Federalist Society events at UCLA and Stanford, university responses to identifying protesters, concerns about declining standards and “prolonged adolescence,” migration from blue to red states, and a Rhode Island federal judge ordering release of an illegal alien wanted for murder, alongside ICE arrests of criminal aliens in Minnesota.
