Victor Davis Hanson on The Future of Republicans

What does the Republican Party stand for, and what is the future of MAGA? Author and historian @victordavishanson7273 joins PragerU CEO @realtalkwithmarissa to examine President Trump's handling of Iran, the economy, and immigration, and why he believes the administration failed to effectively communicate its accomplishments to voters. They discuss the loss of Hispanic support, the impact of gas prices, and whether America's melting pot is being replaced by identity politics and tribalism. Hanson also points to the fall of Rome and explains why he believes Western civilization faces its greatest dangers from within, while remaining hopeful about America's future.
