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.

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.

Author and California resident Steve Hilton discusses his new book, "Califailure: Reversing the Ruin of America's Worst-Run State." Hilton details California's dramatic decline from a beacon of American opportunity to a state plagued by homelessness, crime, and an exodus of residents. Hilton, known for his appearances on Fox News, delves into the policies that have led to high taxes and urban decay in California, as well as the potential presidential ambitions of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Drawing from his personal experience raising a family and running a business in California since 2012, Hilton identifies the ideological "pathologies" that have led to the state's downfall—from extreme environmentalism to union control and misguided compassion policies. Hilton offers a vision for California's revival through his policy organization Golden Together. He provides a stark warning about the consequences of one-party rule and offers practical solutions for turning America's Golden State around. 00:00 Introduction

In a special episode of "The Signal Sitdown" filmed at the White House, Leavitt opens up about her relationship with President Donald Trump, her political upbringing, and how the president is garnering record support with young voters. At just 27 years old, Leavitt is tasked with communicating Trump’s priorities to the American people, oftentimes through testy exchanges with the adversarial corporate media in the White House briefing room. "I don't think anyone could anticipate having this job," Leavitt told The Daily Signal. "Certainly, one may hope for it, but you never really know if it will happen." These days, Leavitt makes headlines sparring with journalists, but once upon a time, she thought she might become one. "I always was enthralled with the media and news growing up," Leavitt said. "Always thought I wanted to be a reporter, actually on your side of the table, and covering the news." That started to change, however, when Trump burst on to the political scene. "2016 was the first election I was

With so much information—and misinformation—circulating, it's time to take a step back and assess the bigger picture of Trump’s impact in his first 7 weeks in office.   On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down Trump’s rapid push for fundamental, disruptive change—a counter-revolution reshaping America’s economic, energy, and foreign policy landscape.    “ Trump is in a race. He's in a race to enact fundamental, disruptive change, a counterrevolution, and it's going to be rough for a while, as he pointed out. But the things that he has already done are going to have, shortly or maybe even midterm, fundamental advantages for the United States”…   “if he's able to solve the Ukraine war, and if he is able to have a general peace in the Middle East, that will be the most substantial presidency—if he does nothing else—that we've seen in 50 years.”   Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the irony of the Left’s sudden outrage over wealthy elites influencing politics on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” “  The Democrats raised $1 billion more than did Trump. So, what is going on? There is an anger now that for the first time in 20 years, over three administrations—Clinton, Obama, and Biden—for the first time there are multibillionaires who are starting to question their Democratic loyalty: larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, perhaps even Jeff Bezos. “ The Democratic Party is the party of the very wealthy, plutocracy, and the billionaire class, but they demand absolute loyalty and solidarity. And any defections or apostates then cause them to go—I don’t know what the word is—ballistic that anybody would doubt their ability to control the big money in the United States.” Learn more about your ad choices.
