Why aren't Democrats offering serious alternatives to Donald Trump's agenda? From trade deficits to foreign policy, Victor Davis Hanson points out that many on the Left once held views that mirrored Trump’s—yet now, they offer little more than resistance for resistance’s sake on today’s episode of “ Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ I see these people in their late 60s and early 70s, mostly white people, and they seem to have the same signs, the same agenda, and they leave at the same time. … And you were doing that when you were 18, 19, and 20, and you haven’t changed. You’ve learned nothing and forgotten nothing. “ And so, when they wonder why the Harvard/Harris Poll or other polls don’t show Trump dropping … they look for alternatives. And they see nothing but street theater. Maybe they think that’s going to win them the midterms.” 00:00 Introduction: The Democratic Party's Lack of Constructive Criticism 00:09 Performance Art and Street Theater 00:20 A Call for Constructive Alternatives 02:00 Re

President Trump remains resolute in his tariff strategy, imposing a 125% tariff on China today and posting “Don't be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!)” on his Truth Social account. So, is the recent Wall Street drop rooted in facts—or fueled by fear and manipulation? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the numbers, the history, and the media narrative behind the current economic anxiety on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ First term, Donald Trump, was he an enemy of Wall Street? Is there a better alternative? Did he crash the market? No. The market grew 65% under Donald Trump.  “ If it’s not based on data points and it’s not based on what you could infer from his first term and it’s not based on his agenda in other areas or the world scene, what is it based on it? It’s based on panic. It really is. “Part of it is fed by left-wing street theater, media hysterics, which they feel will help their counterparts, their soul mates in Europe, so they can put pressur

What does an agenda designed to hurt the United States look like? Look no further than the past four years under the Biden-Harris administration, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”   “ If you really wanted to, in civilizational terms, destroy the United States, the first thing I would do if I was an enemy of the United States was I would destroy the borders.   “If you also wanted to hurt the United States, you know what I would do if I had nefarious intent? I would keep printing money. And I would call that, in fact, ‘Build Back Better.’”    “ The third thing that I would do, and I think it's besides debt and borders and fuel. I would sow disunity. And I would say that the content of our character is not as important as the color of our skin.” If you can’t get enough of Victor Davis Hanson from The Daily Signal, subscribe to his official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@victordavishanson7273   He’s also the host of “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,

On this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson highlights the silence of the Left when it comes to proposing good economic policy. “We haven’t had balanced trade for 50 years. No one is giving any alternatives. No one is talking, in any way, that they have an antithetical and better plan than Donald Trump. “The success or failure of Donald Trump will hinge on the status of the economy."

Meet Sabin Howard, the master sculptor behind the breathtaking World War I Memorial in Washington D.C. In this Daily Signal interview, Howard shares his remarkable journey from a 19-year-old who had never drawn before to becoming the creator of a monumental 60-foot bronze sculpture featuring 38 figures. Howard reveals the challenges he faced creating this national monument—from battling bureaucracy and modernist opposition to sculpting through a global pandemic. He explains his vision for art that elevates the human spirit and unites Americans around their shared history. "It's a sculpture for We the People," says Howard, describing how he captured the energy of real veterans in his work. The memorial honors not just WWI soldiers but speaks to all who have served, creating a universal tribute to the human journey through conflict. Howard also discusses his next ambitious project—a monument celebrating American freedom for the nation's 250th birthday, and why he's moved from the East Coast to Utah to p

Don Devine is proud that The Washington Post once attacked him as President Ronald Reagan's "terrible swift sword of the civil service," but even he is blown away by the muscular reforms of the Trump administration.   That doesn't stop him from giving advice on how to slay the deep state leviathan, however. Devine, who served as the second director of the Office of Personnel Management under Reagan from 1981 to 1985, warned that public-sector unions will always oppose efforts to bring the administrative state to heel, so any conservative will have to take on these issues with steely resolve.   "They're going to be fighting you no matter what you do," Devine told The Daily Signal.   "The unions in the government, which shouldn't even be there ... The unions, that's their job, all right? If you do anything, they're going to go to the courts after you."   "So, what's the answer? You got to do it anyway, you got to fight them," he explained. Public-sector unions, who represent federal government employees, have f

Adversaries and allies alike have been ripping off the United States with “asymmetrical tariffs” for decades. Now, Trump is fighting back. “Whatever a particular country tariffs us, we reciprocate and just mirror image them. In other words, it’s their choice, not ours,” VDH says. On this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson explains the history behind tariffs and how other countries have taken advantage of America’s no-tariff policy for years. “It was all predicated in the postwar period. We were so affluent, so powerful—Europe, China, Russia were in shambles—that we had to take up the burdens of reviving the economy by taking great trade deficits,” Victor Davis Hanson says. We can’t afford to remain neutral in the trade war that’s been happening for decades. “If tariffs are so destructive of their economies, why is China booming?” Victor Davis Hanson asks.

Say hello to your new neighbors—12 million of them.   Under the Biden Administration, illegal border crossings jumped to record numbers. Yet within 8 weeks of President Trump assuming office, border crossings plunged to the lowest in decades.   On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” VDH breaks down the step-by-step invasion on our southern border that was intricately planned and encouraged by Democrats.   “Never in the history of the United States, within four years, did the government, by intent, destroy the border, and welcome in 12 million people.”   Meanwhile, Americans needed proof of vaccination or faced being fired from their jobs.   “I suppose they thought that maybe people who were coming in without English, without high school diplomas, for the most part, without capital, and without skills would be dependent on federal charges.” If you can’t get enough of Victor Davis Hanson from The Daily Signal, subscribe to his official YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@victordavish

“ China is ascendant and we are static.”   President Donald Trump is right to be worried about China’s trade surplus, military expansion, influence in regions like Panama and the Arctic, and the broader global impact of its rise. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the reasons why Trump has made maintaining dominance over China a central issue for his administration on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”     “He’s worried that China is intimidating countries in the Pacific and in Asia. Some of our strongest friends—Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam. Saying things like, "The United States is in decline. You better cut a deal.     “ We don’t look at productivity in stocks but whether they’re politically correct or DEI and woke… The Chinese love it. We will not be competitive.” Link to the full video in the show notes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Europe really the “stalwart” of democracy? While the radical Left in America failed to imprison President Donald Trump, their Europeans counterparts are having a successful time prosecuting their political enemies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Europe is copying the lawfare of the United States. Remember that Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and E. Jean Carroll, in civil and criminal suits, for four years tried to destroy Donald Trump. And they had over $400 million in fines that were leveled at one point. And there were 91 felony indictments… “Ms. Le Pen, the head of the most conservative party in France, who has got enormous momentum. Enormous momentum, because, of the violence of radical Islamic groups, inside France. The open borders, the dissatisfaction with the blank check, given Ukraine, etc., I could go on and on… “[The high court] said that she had expropriate funds, campaign funds. In other words, that she was bl

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the recent development on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Pfizer, for months, had said the results of their early testing of the efficacy and the safety of the Pfizer spike protein anti-COVID vaccine was known. … And they delayed it. Why did they delay it?  “ The news of the vaccination was deliberately manipulated and delayed so it would not give credit to Donald Trump before the final 30% or 40% of the ballots were cast.  “The problem was that we radically changed the voting laws. … We manipulated the news. And now we learn that even pharmaceutical companies were massaging the results of their test to hurt Donald Trump's chances in the 2020 election.” Learn more about your ad choices.
