Victor Davis Hanson, a historian and military expert, delves into the complexities of trade parity and tariffs in a revealing discussion. He critiques the longstanding asymmetrical tariffs imposed on the U.S. and explains how countries have capitalized on America's previous no-tariff approach. Hanson argues that the concept of tariffs harming economies is misleading, as evidenced by China’s booming success despite high tariffs. He sheds light on the historical context of America's economic strategies post-World War II and advocates for a more aggressive trade stance.

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/@victordavishanson7273 He’s also the host of “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” available wherever you prefer to watch or listen.

“ 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.

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 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.“In other words, they only applied this law to her because they were terrified she was going to win, in the next presidential election.”Watch the full epsiode now!

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.
