Podcast appearances and mentions of Victor Davis Hanson

So why are media outlets still talking down the economy? And why is Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell refusing to cut interest rates, despite earlier recession warnings that never materialized? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Remember that The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, and our main media organs all told us in May when Donald Trump was talking about art of the deal tariffs, … we were going to have high inflation, stagflation, bad job growth, static GDP, and a trade war along with a Wall Street collapse, basically a recession. Well, wall Street stock prices are at historical highs. Every one of those predictions was wrong. “If [Powell] is worried about a trade war, and tariffs and soft job growth, which was predictive but didn't happen, why don't you lower interest rates? And the fact is that if you look at the interest rates that he did cut right before the 2024 election and his all over the map, attitude toward interest rates today, there is no logic because if he's worried that the economy inflation might— it's gone up one 10th of an point and it's steaming and then he's going to what? Keep interest rates that high?”

On this week's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the party's post-2024 election autopsy and explains why they're doomed to fail if they continue on their trajectory. “ After the defeat of Kamala Harris in November 2024, the Democrats decided recently to run an autopsy, a discovery, so to speak, of why they lost that election. These autopsies are not uncommon for the losing political party, but they only tend to work if you're honest and you try to analyze every considerable factor or criterion without censorship or without fear. “ They didn't have issues and policies that reflected their core values, but would also appeal to the middle class. … They don't want to talk about the middle class because their policies—open borders, The Green New Deal, Critical Race Theory, Critical Legal Theory, defund the police—all that have to be rejected because they're anathema to the middle class. They won't do it.”

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Mexico's trade practices, cartel complicity, and remittance dependence are fueling an asymmetrical relationship that benefits Mexico at America's expense on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Ms.  Sheinbaum, why don't you do the following? Why don't you say that Mexican nationals are your citizens? They're key to your economic growth. You don't want them to leave your country. You have a new revisionist reform plan that you're going to offer them social services so that they don't flee to the United States. You're going to keep your own people in your own country. “ The problem with Mexican-American relationships, as those polls reveal, is on your side. Don't run up surpluses by mercantile dealings with an existential enemy of the United States, China. Do not count on American taxpayers to subsidize your own citizens who entered illegally to send back 63 billion to your failing economy. And do not lecture us about the cartels—what we should and should not do about it—when you are enabling them to kill 70,000 Americans as a source of foreign exchange inside Mexico.”

But this has been all but ignored by the corporate media. Why? Victor Davis Hanson says the fight does not align with their narrative of America as a place of “salad bowl tribal identification” instead of being a melting pot. He breaks down the disturbing implications of the fight and reaction on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ It was on Fox News and New York Post, etc., but not in the legacy media. It was almost as if they were saying, ‘This is a taboo subject.' But if you go back, what they did cover, the media, they covered the Duke lacrosse incident. That was completely a hoax. There was no black stripper who was attacked by fraternity brothers. It was made up. The Covington kids. That was made up. … This wasn't made up. This was real.  “ Once a society goes down this pathway of racial essentialism or tribalism, and you send the message that you as an individual are not responsible for your own behavior, but you're part of a victimized collective, and then you have repertory or justification rights to commit a crime and without the expectation of punishment, the result is civilizational declining chaos. And so, we need to remedy this and to show people that if they wanna stomp on some helpless victim on the ground, they're gonna pay a high price.”

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down role former intelligence heads John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey—Obama's "three blind mice”—played in this on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. “There's new evidence that Barack Obama asked intelligence, investigatory heads—like John Brennan, like James Clapper and James Comey—to "find me evidence that you haven't found yet so that we can continue the Russian collusion hoax after it was ineffective in the campaign, Hillary lost the election. Now we want to sabotage." This is the subtext of the transition and his presidency. " They were so desperate to validate it. They said to Christopher Steele, ‘Just give us some proof. We can use this. We'll give you a million dollars.' He couldn't even come up with a mil—he couldn't even come up with the substantive arguments to corroborate his own dossier, so he didn't get the million dollars.”

The disturbing implications? For years, America was led by a cognitively impaired president, while his scandal-plagued son acted as a key adviser behind the scenes. On this week's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Who was really running the White House during Biden's term? “ He just said about the laptop—in which he is seen using drugs, he's in pornographic poses, but most importantly, he references his father as “the big guy” and "the 10% guy," and he laments that he is the bagman for the family. It's very incriminating. But he doesn't—as he has before—he has never denied that it was his.  “What I'm getting at is this: It's very dangerous to think that for four years we had a president who was mentally challenged, cognitively disabled, suffering dementia. And the close circle around them—whether they were former Obama operatives or Biden senatorial family, or his own real family—that these people were running the country. And the last year or two, if you look at photographs, videos of Biden giving a speech, Biden traveling, there's one constant. It's Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden was his eyes and his ears. And he was a close—and maybe the closest—adviser to his father.”

Mehdi Hasan's viral debate on Jubilee against far-right conservatives has sparked some interesting conversations, not least because one of the self-proclaimed “fascists” has now been fired from his job - only to raise a fortune on a crowdfunding website. Have young conservatives, raised on inflammatory social media content, become just as mad as their 'communist' counterparts? Piers Morgan speaks to Mehdi to break down the debate and why young right wing adults are becoming more emboldened. But first; Donald Trump is trying to shift focus to the files that have been declassified this week by intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, saying they are proof that Obama committed treason by weaponising intelligence agencies to lay the groundwork for Russiagate.

Despite repeated media claims that “17 intelligence agencies” confirmed the collusion, these documents show that no such consensus ever existed. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how this deliberate misinformation campaign damaged Trump's 2016 campaign, his transition, and his presidency, while undermining U.S. credibility on the world stage on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ There's news about the Tulsi Gabbard release of documents, alleging that Barack Obama and our top intelligence head had conspired to create a false narrative that Donald Trump was, essentially, a Russian asset. “ But the problem is that, as I'm speaking, there's going to be new information. And these other subordinate intelligence directors that work variously for Clapper or Brennan are going to come forward in saying, ‘We found nothing. Clapper knew it. Brennan knew it.' And what will Clapper and Brennan say? That ‘we knew it, but we lied,' or, ‘We knew it and they told us to—Obama told us to lie,' or, ‘He lied. We lied.' It's not going to be pretty.”

Nothing could have prepared our so-called “experts” for the growing success of the Trump administration. They insist they alone could only predict the outcome of numerous policies. And yet, time after time, they continue to get it all wrong. Look no further than President Donald Trump's tariff policy. Trump's tariffs did not send the U.S. into a recession, as some of the so-called “experts” believed would happen. Instead, they've generated over $100 billion in revenue so far this year, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.  An outcome some experts thought would be impossible. These miscalculations not only apply to the economy, but also on issues such as immigration, military recruitment, and foreign investment, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed documents this week that could upend the entire narrative of the so-called “Russian Collusion” scandal: New intelligence originally sourced from Dutch agencies shows U.S. officials knew there was no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia as early as 2016. Why did Obama-era intelligence leaders like John Brennan, James Clapper, and possibly James Comey continue pushing the hoax? And did President Barack Obama himself ignore briefings that contradicted the false narrative? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Now, what's Tulsi Gabbard upset about? That was known to John Brennan. That was known to James Clapper. That was probably known to the FBI. But they have notes, they have information that when they prepared this digest daily, weekly digest of intelligence updates to lame-duck Barack Obama in 2016 and into 2017, he ignored it. He did not want to hear that. He wanted more information pertaining to Donald Trump and the Russians colluding. It was almost like, you find me the crime and I'll give you the criminal. “ Is it serious? If it's credible, then you have a conspiracy of the top people in the United States intelligence and investigative communities conspiring with a sitting president of the United States to destroy the administration of his opponent, successor, Donald J. Trump.”

Hour 1 launches with Marc dissecting Victor Davis Hanson's explosive interview, exposing how deep state actors—from intel agencies to corporate media—colluded for years to sabotage Trump, in what Marc calls the biggest political scandal since Watergate. Then, the focus turns to the Breonna Taylor case and the sentencing of former officer Brett Hankison. Marc slams the DOJ for pursuing jail time just to appease the woke mob and urges Trump to consider a pardon. In Kim on a Whim, Kim tackles the Spirit Airlines “booty shorts” controversy, sparking laughs and debate over public decency, personal responsibility, and why we even weigh luggage but not passengers. The hour wraps with a critical look at Fed Chair Jerome Powell, rumors of his resignation, and whether Biden's economic team is intentionally tanking the economy to prevent another Trump boom.

Ex-White House insider Gabrielle Cuccia reveals how the Autopen process works and who signs off in the White House. We dive into the Russia hoax conspiracy, exposing the Steele Dossier's role, John McCain's involvement, and Victor Davis Hanson's take on a three-year coup against Donald Trump.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard's DOJ referral raises questions—will Obama face charges? Plus, Hunter Biden's scorched-earth attack on Democrats and the USA Women's Fencing Association's new female-only rule.

While critics accuse the Trump administration of withholding damning information, Victor Davis Hanson argues the truth of the controversy is much more complicated—and a lot less interesting—than you'd think.  Why didn't Democrats ever release the names? And how much truth is there to the recent Wall Street Journal article that reported Trump wrote a letter Epstein filled with strange language and suggestive imagery? Victor Davis Hanson answers these questions on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ I think Donald Trump is going to release all the information that the government has. There'll probably be 150 or 200 names. And we'll let the internet mob or individuals or Freedom of Information requests or lower court judges, they will adjudicate it and we will find out the particular statuses. The vast majority of people will be very innocent, that they didn't do anything wrong. But there will be some people that will have a cast, a shadow of doubt. And we'll have to find out. “ I think The Wall Street Journal will have to make a correction, unless they want to take Donald Trump to court and Donald Trump wants to see—he's filed suit against them. And there'll be a lot of discovery and who knows what will happen. But for right now, I think he's salvaged this problem and aborted a controversy by just saying, ‘Get this stuff out there and let the people decide.'”

Elite universities know they're in the wrong. For years, they've been:  Charging upwards of 60% for “overhead” costs for federal research grants. Blatantly violating the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 Civil Rights ruling barring race-based admissions and hiring practices.  Allowing rampant antisemitism on campus. Reliant on international students from illiberal regimes. Facing both mounting pressure from the Trump administration to change their ways, and vocal opposition from their Marxist students and faculty to remain the same, university presidents are starting to fold: So, how do these presidents do it? They're afraid of their students. They're afraid of their Marxist faculty. So what they're doing is, essentially, they're talking to the Trump administration. And they're going to go right back and they're going to say, ‘You know, I did not want to do this. I really did not want to cut a deal. I want to keep going with DEI. I think we have a right to. But I can't. Donald Trump's a tough customer. If I don't cut a deal with him, we're gonna go broke. We'll get no federal funds. We'll get no federal grants. We'll get an even bigger tax on our endowment. So I've got to cut a deal. He made me do it.'

Glass House Farms openly employed over 300 illegal aliens, including minors and individuals charged with violent crimes. Despite the clear violations of immigration and labor laws, left-wing protesters—tipped off in advance—rushed in to block ICE agents. Among them: a CSU professor who threw a tear gas canister at law enforcement. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this incident that exposes a disturbing truth about California's political class on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: I His Own Words.” “ This raid typified or exemplified or was emblematic of all the strange things that are going on with illegal immigration. First of all, this was a very liberal owner. He was a campaign donor to Gavin Newsom. Gave him over $10,000. He's given to the DNC. And yet, ICE went out there because they had news that not only were there over 350 people there who were illegally openly working in violation of immigration law, but there were minors. “ And yet, the Left can thinks that this is going to be a legitimate protest movement with popularity or favorability among the California or, indeed, the United States public. I don't think that's going to happen.”

It was a story that moved like wildfire and showed no signs of slowing down. The more Hillary Clinton denied it, downplayed it, and attempted to pivot away from it, the more it was just too salacious to leave alone. And so it will go with the Epstein Files. The Epstein Files are giving me flashbacks. I find myself, as a former “vote blue no matter who” Democrat, wanting to say, Are you all insane? Chasing this non-story when Trump's presidency is at an all-time high? Don't you know what this will do? Don't you know how long the Democrats have been waiting for something like this to finally end MAGA and destroy Trump?The Democrats have been given a gift. They didn't have to lift a finger. MAGA did it all on their own. Trump is stuck in an impossible situation. He can release the so-called “files,” which probably amount to a lot of names, perhaps some being blackmailed, but no crimes, no convictions, just an angry mob with pitchforks and a story that will never die.In the post-Me Too America, it is once accused, forever guilty. There is no such thing as due process or the presumption of innocence. Releasing those names with no real crimes attached will ruin their lives. This is class warfare via social media mobs. It's the heads of the wealthy elites they want. They care less about how they get them. On the one hand, no president should talk to the people or his supporters like that. After all, his own son, Don Jr. was out there just as caught up in The Epstein Files as everyone else. But Trump wasn't. He didn't campaign on it and never talked about it at rallies. On the other hand, Trump deserved some credit for his monumental last couple of weeks, not to mention having been shot in the head just one year ago. How many of his supporters actually care about this if he never campaigned on it?The Democrats aren't quite celebrating but I can tell, as a former Democrat, that they know a good thing when they see it, just as the Trump side knew the Hillary Clinton email story was a winner to eat up oxygen, drive the media narrative even if, in the end, it came to nothing more than salacious gossip. “But her Emails” was meant to convey the ironic message that the email story was more important than our impending climate apocalypse. For me, that was the crisis, and thus, everything else had to be put aside.I find myself now looking at “Gender Affirming Care” and feeling like this is the crisis that demands everyone put everything aside for, even if I know it won't play out like that because I remember how nothing could slow down the email story and nothing could help Hillary Clinton win, no amount of fear or threats could change people's minds about their vote.Trump isn't heading into an election, but the Democrats want their power back, and they don't think they should have to do anything for it except attack Trump. And attack they will. MSNBC posting on TikTok from Turning Point:Nothing will slow it down because influencers on the Right are less invested in electing candidates and stopping them, and more invested in being the anti-establishment voices that draw the clicks and views.Now that they sloppily affixed the whole scandal to Israel, they have the “Free Palestine” crowd driving up their traffic and making them money. Why would they stop now? Burn it all down, who cares? They are Watergating themselves.Years ago, when I was a Democrat making this same argument about Bernie Sanders and his challenge to the Clinton presidency, I would say they're ratf*cking themselves. They are doing what the opposition would do to fracture and break up a coalition, thereby guaranteeing Hillary's loss, which is partly how I won $100 by predicting Trump would win.However, I later felt bad about that. That's not Democracy. Let Bernie run, let him build a movement, let the chips fall where they may, and I still believe that. But man, it's hard to watch this go down and not think, Are you seriously going to throw it all away on this? But this isn't the first time these so-called MAGA influencers have been busting up the coalition. From the Tariffs to the bombing of Iran to the One Big Beautiful Bill, it seems not a week goes by that I'm not out there on X sounding like Han Solo in Star Wars begging the Millennium Falcon, “Can you hear me, baby, hold together?”I understand MAGA is not a cult. I learned that when I watched them boo Trump for asking them to take the vaccine. No self-respecting cult leader would allow for that. Do you think Jim Jones would have allowed any one of his members to say, “That's okay - I don't need to drink the Flavor-Aid, I'm good.” I also know that the Epstein story runs deep within the movement and that they all believed Trump would release the files and the truth would come out. But the truth was something they had already decided before it was found in evidence, and now they're left feeling angry and betrayed. To make matters worse, Trump's messaging seems to indicate that something is in that file that would be damaging to him; otherwise, he would not keep saying it's a hoax by the same people who cooked up Russiagate, etc.Michael Wolff is out there talking about seeing photos of Trump with Epstein:Here is Victor Davis Hanson telling Glenn Beck he thinks Epstein was blackmailing influential people with photos just like that, which would then force them to invest in his properties, making him very rich. You don't have to be a genius here to put two and two together.Meanwhile, Alan Dershowitz notes that the Democrats are weaponizing the story, as they would, of course. Turnabout is fair play.A Legacy Press that Became PropagandaI understand why journalists like Megyn Kelly and others don't want to be CNN for Trump 2.0 and thus, will chase the story regardless of their own personal preference for political leadership. I get that. They have to be a trusted voice because once they lose that, they're done. She has never backed off of a story, no matter who it might hurt politically. It should not have been the media's job to pivot away from the email story to help one candidate win the election, but that was the message they took from 2016. They felt overwhelming guilt for helping to elect a “fascist,” and from then on, would never hold a single Democrat to account for anything. That decision would doom the Democrats to an even greater fate, nothing less than the rise and fall of a once-mighty empire.MAGA isn't an empire, but it is the rare grassroots populist movement that, for once, put the working class at the front of the line and, for once, beat the administrative state and the deep pockets of the lobbyists. Winning was practically a miracle. The whole thing seemed to be held together by duct tape, glue, and a lot of hard-working people who wanted to make change and did so by organizing, with their small donations and, yes, with Trump—a once-in-a-generation political talent who could withstand almost anything.Almost anything.So you can understand Trump's frustration now that he's just seen the best two weeks of his or any presidency in my lifetime, and those who are now fueling another “But her emails” story aren't the legacy media at all, but his own base.But if it's a pedophile ring they're waiting to see exposed, they will be disappointed. For one thing, none of the alleged thousands of child victims have come forward in this, the era of Me Too, where they could be famous and rich overnight for doing so?They could be hugely popular on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, telling their story, blowing the case wide open. They would be all over social media by now. But all we really have are women, some of them underage at the time, suing for massive payouts. All this will do ultimately is put power back in the hands of the worst people imaginable, people who don't think children can consent to sex crimes but have no problem talking them into slicing off body parts and sterilizing them.It will be power back to the people who want to open the border and who think booing JD Vance at Disneyland is the right thing to do. The Left used to be the side that didn't care about married men cavorting on an island with barely legal sex workers. How could we, with Bill Clinton ogling Monica Lewinsky while she snapped her thong in front of him? No, we had no choice but to excuse his peccadillos. We wanted to win, hold power, and change the world. That mattered so much more than who Bill Clinton was having sex with this week. But the Right, they've been consistent where infidelity and sex were concerned. They were Me Too before we were Me Too. That's why they defended those who accused Bill Clinton of rape and harassment. They traded all of that for a chance to win with Trump, too. The Epstein case, however, because it looms so large in their collective imaginations, might be what the Democrats hope for: that moment when Trump's whole coalition implodes. It runs so deep with so many of them that it defines everything they are and everything they believe. You might as well ask them to give up religion. Who knows, maybe they'll get lucky and the whole thing will magically appear. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton - all of those rich and powerful elites caught as part of a massive pedophile ring that leaves Pizzagate in the dust. Or not. The thing about conspiracy theories, as everyone knows, is that the more people you have to add to them, the less likely they are to be true. Dr Grande explains how the very thing that made Trump popular might be the very thing that brings him down.No, this is only the beginning, and everyone knows it. The Left knows it most of all, and if you can't see that now, someday you will. Someday, you will be saying, “But the Epstein Files.” This is a public episode.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom seems to be more interested in podcasting, siding with protesters, and pointing fingers at the Trump administration than actually fixing the problems in his state. Newsom's record long record of failure is evident in the was California is spiraling out of control: a crumbling infrastructure, surging poverty, and broken immigration enforcement. Victor Davis Hanson has a message for Gavin Newsom on why his priorities are not only out of touch—but dangerous—on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He's now inserted himself into the ICE deportations crisis in California and siding with the protesters that are trying to obstruct ICE. And he has a very incoherent position. … I guess the supposition is that Gavin thought it was quite moral for 12 million people to break the law, but it's quite amoral for somebody to try to rectify the situation and enforce the law. “ You look at a state that is in complete free fall, it is a catastrophe, and rather than addressing transportation, energy, poverty, housing, gasoline, what are you doing? You're campaigning for president. And you're in Twitter wars with the president of the United States. And you're defending the catastrophic governance in Los Angeles. And you're trying to impede the enforcement of a law that if it was enforced, you would be the biggest beneficiary.”

Trump has revitalized military recruitment and turned the armed forced from “fat” to “fit,” reshaped America's foreign alliances, and delivered bold results that no one expected—and many actively warned against. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why, in the face of naysayers and “experts” claiming it couldn't be done, this even more of a momentous feat on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The economy did not crash or crater. Wall Street is at all-time high. Stock prices, job growth unexpectedly—that's a word have to use because the Left always says it's going to get very angry. The angry Left. And they're very angry and they say, ‘It's not going to work.' And then they have to say, ‘Well, it worked.'” “ The idea that all of their Ph.D.s, all the letters after their names, all of their ZIP codes, all of their prestige meant nothing. That here we have a billionaire builder from New York, with a Queens accent, who's transactional. And he was able to create a revolutionary change in culture, in social life, in economics, on foreign policy, on border security. And we can see the fruits of that in just three weeks, contrary to what everybody told us. It's startling.

Vanessa Sivadge lost her job at a Texas hospital and faced questioning from the FBI after speaking out about experimental transgender "treatments" on children. She told "The Daily Signal Podcast" how her faith motivated her to speak out and why she feared no one else shared her concerns, despite the fact that so-called "gender-affirming care" violated not just her faith but her medical ethics, as well.
