On 5 August 2021, Stuart Varney interviewed Victor Davis Hanson for Fox Business News.
STUART VARNEY: "Would it be true to say that the woke folk now run America's major corporations, America's media and America's colleges? Would it be true to say that they have that power and impact?"
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: "Yes. I would add Wall Street, academia, K-12, Hollywood, entertainment, professional sports."
VARNEY: "what's the impact of that domination?"
HANSON: "It's hard to say but I think they feel woke insurance they take out, they being people run the institutions and that it serves as either cover for them or it's a reason why they're becoming mediocre, I don't know which. I got on a flight the other day, Stuart. It went 180 miles in the wrong direction because it had no fuel, American Airlines. I noticed while I was on the flight, that Mr. Parker, the American Airlines CEO, had weighed in on the Texas voting law and said it was illiberal. He admitted he never read it.
Two days before we had tried, my assistant and I tried to call Delta to clear up a billing mistake. Took seven hours to get on to their consumer line. I know, that CEO compensated 17 million a year, had weighed in on the Georgia. Then I noticed a pattern, General Milley is going through the ranks to audit supposed alt-right suspects, recommending various radical books on his recommended reading list, I don't remember we had such inspired strategy in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya. I'm wondering whether it was cost effective to buy the F-35 or the littoral ships that are in doubt.
So I think a lot of the problem that we're having our these CEOs or these college presidents that can't turn out people that can read, and write, and think analytically or either diverting their time to sort of a commissar system where they internally audit everybody, everybody is looking over their back, or they use this to deflect criticism from a job by any accounts is pretty mediocrely done."
