Victor Davis Hanson: Gov. Janet Mills Doesn’t Know It Yet, But She’s an ‘Insurrectionist’

Is Gov. Janet Mills of Maine an ‘Neo-Confederate’? Yes, and “she is taking states’ rights to the extreme,” argues Victor Davis Hanson in today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” After refusing to comply with a Trump administration order banning men from competing in women’s high school sports, the Department of Justice launched a civil lawsuit against the Maine Department of Education for failing to protect women in women’s sports, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday. “Janet Mills may not know it, but she's an insurrectionist. She's a neo-Confederate. She is taking states' rights to the extreme. Rather than saying, ‘I oppose the federal government. I will go to court to stop you. If I lose, I will comply because the states are subordinate to the federal’ —she's not doing that. She's right in the spirit of the old Confederacy… “I can cite you chapter and verse from the poems of Catullus to the novels of ‘Satyricon,’ of Petronius, ‘The Satyricon,’ of men who dress up like women. Both as transvestites who are still, I guess you'd say, heterosexual, but they have a fetish to wear women's clothes or those who really want to be women. In the case of a poem or two, they castrate themselves. It's found in ancient history. “And statistically, if you go back before this controversy happened, it was a very small number of the population. About less than 1% identified as transgendered or transsexual. Then it became, in the last decade, the next civil rights frontier. And all of a sudden, we have universities where students are being polled at 10% or 20% or 30%, thinking they might want to transition. It almost became a cult following.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Europe, You Can’t Sit on the Sidelines Anymore

Which side will Europe take in a China-U.S. trade war? Of all the scenarios facing Europe right now vis-à-vis their relationship United States and China, their best option would be to side with the U.S., argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The third scenario is what I would suggest for the Europeans. They should say the following: “‘Despite our disagreements with the Trump administration, the United States is an ally. We know that we have been as victimized by Chinese mercantilism, high tariffs, cheating on patents, copyrights, dumping, and financial currency manipulation—all the things the United States complains about, we do too. In fact, we as Europeans as a whole have about the same deficit with China as the United States does. So, we are kindred spirits. So what we will do is, even though we have disagreements on our surplus with the United States and their efforts to reduce it, we will ally with the United States.’ “And that would represent about two-thirds of China's total trade action or monetary value.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: How Will the Wars in Ukraine, Middle East End? The Answer Lies in History.

With two major, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, historian Victor Davis Hanson takes a step back to examine the historical nature of war—and why modern conflicts so often defy resolution on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Are today’s endless wars a departure from the classical model of victory through total defeat and political transformation? Or have we simply lost the will to wage decisive wars? “  Traditionally, the way that political differences were settled—the aggressor versus the invaded—was by defeating the enemy through superior force. “ These conflicts are what we call a “bellum interruptus,” they just keep going on. They simmer down, they flare up like a forest fire. But the old classical idea that you defeat the enemy, you solve the political problem may not be as ossified as we think.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: No Congress, No Coherence—The Left’s Post-Trump Identity Crisis

Democrats are experiencing an “intellectual poverty.” They have no power in the White House, in Congress, or the Supreme Court, so they’ve resorted to theatrics, street protests, viral stunts, and inflammatory rhetoric. 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. They see nothing but street theater. Maybe they think that’s going to win them the midterms.”

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Don’t Be A ‘PANICAN’ Over Trump’s Tariffs, Wall Street

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’s based on panic. It really is. “Part of it is fed by left-wing street theater and media hysterics, which they feel will help their counterparts, their soul mates in Europe, so they can put pressure on Donald Trump.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Critics Slam Trump’s Economic Plan—but Offer No Alternative

The Left has no plan for the economy—but they complain like they do. In 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 in 50 years. No one is giving any alternatives. No one is saying in any way that they have an antithetical or better plan than Donald Trump. “The success or failure of Donald Trump will hinge on the status of the economy."

Victor Davis Hanson: Donald Trump’s Trade Parity ‘Golden Age’ Explained

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. In 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 on the postwar period. We were so affluent, so powerful—Europe, China, Russia were in shambles—that we had to take up the burden of reviving the economy by taking on 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.

Victor Davis Hanson: Strategy to Trump China on the World Stage

President Donald Trump is right to be worried about China’s trade surplus, its military expansion, its influence in regions like Panama and the Arctic, and the broader global impact of its rise. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why Trump has made maintaining dominance over China a central issue for his administration in 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 won’t be competitive.” Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today. You’ll be notified every time a new piece of content drops:

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Couldn’t Throw Trump in Jail. Marine Le Pen Wasn’t So Lucky

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 blending—does this sounds familiar—blending her own campaign with funds allotted from the European Union, for other purposes. In other words, there was a difference—a distinction without a difference.

Victor Davis Hanson: Pfizer COVID Bombshell Puts 2020 Election Into Context

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?"

How Donald Trump Is Reshaping America in Just 7 Weeks

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. In 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.”

"Victor Davis Hanson CRIES—I'm RISKING it all to tell you the TRUTH"

In this exclusive interview, historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson analyzes the most pressing issues in American politics today. The discussion began with the controversy surrounding leaked messages from Senator J.D. Vance, revealing skepticism about U.S. commitment to Europe. These revelations raise questions about the future of American foreign policy and the conservative movement’s stance on global affairs. Donald Trump’s counter-revolution against the Left is also examined. As the former president continues his campaign for re-election, his efforts to reshape politics and culture face significant resistance from entrenched establishment forces. That resistance is particularly strong in the judiciary and the media. From legal battles to relentless negative coverage, the courts and legacy media institutions have taken unprecedented steps to challenge Trump’s influence and potential return to power. The Democratic Party’s declining approval ratings are another key focus. With an increasingly unpopular administration, internal divisions, and economic dissatisfaction, concerns are growing over the party’s future prospects. Finally, the newly released JFK files are analyzed. The declassified documents shed new light on long-standing suspicions about government secrecy and potential political cover-ups.

Victor Davis Hanson: The REAL Oligarchs Who’ve Been Running Our Country

Have you noticed how terms like oligarchs, autocrats, plutocrats, and aristocrats are being thrown around in political discourse? But why now? And why is it suddenly a concern when figures like Elon Musk start questioning the Democratic Party? 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 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.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Keep Your Enemies Close…But NOT In Your Groupchats

Did Jeffery Goldberg really have access to top secret “war plans”? When National Security Adviser Mike Flynn allegedly added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of The Atlantic, to an encrypted groupchat with other senior Trump administration members, Goldberg remained silent for over a week, listening in on discussions before publishing a bombshell exposé on March 24th. Victor Davis Hanson reviews this debacle on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ He is one of the most hard-left critics of the Trump administration imaginable. But he was there. He listened to these conversations, apparently, for about 10 days. And then, when he was waiting and—he never notified anybody that they had mistakenly put his name on the inclusion list for this confidential information. “ Bottom line, if you're in the Trump administration, do not, do not under any circumstances think you can be friends with people who despise you. And that’s a lesson that I hope Mike Waltz learns.” Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats’ 10-Part Strategy to Stopping Trump (At Any Cost)

Despite their unprecedented unpopularity, Democrats aren’t operating in a nihilistic vacuum. They are currently carrying out a a highly organized counter-agenda. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this agenda into 10 key themes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Democrats think “ Donald Trump must be considered, as Chris Matthews just said, a Mussolini-like figure. He must be opposed in every aspect. He must be demonized. Everything he does is evil. And by extension, the same is true of Elon Musk. “ The second thing I’ve noticed, very quickly, is that ICE is wrong. You have to stop ICE from deporting anybody, even if they’re a criminal. “ There should be no cuts. No cuts in the federal government. We have a $1.7 trillion deficit. … We’re not going to discuss it. All we know is there should be no layoffs.”

Victor Davis Hanson: What More Can Musk Do?

Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully brought home stranded astronauts after months of delays. Musk has surpassed Boeing and even NASA, yet political narratives overshadow his success. So what’s causing this unpopularity? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down this phenomenon on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Go back two or three years ago and [Musk] was an iconic Renaissance figure, we were told, by the very people who are now calling him disloyal or purely or not completely an American. It is one of the strangest phenomena of our time.”

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Lied. Now, America Pays.

Joe Biden’s fitness for office, the origins of COVID-19, Russian collusion, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and the crisis at the border. These are some of the biggest deceptions pushed on the American people—lies that were once dismissed as conspiracy theories but have now been confirmed as truth. Victor Davis Hanson examines how these falsehoods shaped the country and eroded trust in key institutions in this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ What do all these lies have in common? One, nobody's ever apologized to them. Nobody's even tried to defend them. Nobody's tried to deny them. Nobody's tried to sustain them. They all did terrible damage to the United States.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom’s California in ‘Existential Freefall’

California is on the brink of disaster—$76 billion in debt, skyrocketing taxes, crumbling infrastructure, and a vanishing middle class. California native Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the harsh realities of Newsom’s policies in this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” From high taxes to a failing power grid, Hanson asks the critical question: Why is California becoming unsustainable? “The state started the year 2024 $76 billion in debt. You are now broke. Even that was not enough. What is your plan to address that? “We are in an existential freefall. And you as governor either can't or won't do anything about it. And if this continues, in another decade, this is going to be a completely medieval Third World society, if it isn't already.”
