    Victor Davis Hanson: Susan Rice, Your Threats Are As Empty As Your Promises
    Feb 26 2026
    Susan Rice, former U.N. ambassador and national security advisor under Obama, made some very threatening statements directed toward Republicans and business elites on a recent podcast episode. On “Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara,” Rice said she wanted Trump supporters to know that the Left won’t forget if they’ve allowed Donald Trump “to bully” them in their respective academic, corporate, or institutional worlds. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Rice’s comments on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” and explains why nothing she, and her fellow Democrats, say can hurt the U.S. president and his supporters at this point. “Your entire career of the Democratic Party—your career, Hillary Clinton's career, Barack Obama—has been to destroy Donald Trump. So we don't need lectures on retribution. You've already tried to practice retribution against Trump. And I don't think you're going to be in a position of power necessarily in the Congress in 2026, and I have a pretty good idea you won't come back to power in 2028.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Preventive or Preemptive? The Pros and Cons of a Potential US Strike on Iran

    Victor Davis Hanson: Preventive or Preemptive? The Pros and Cons of a Potential US Strike on Iran
    Feb 23 2026
    As President Donald Trump positions “the largest naval and air forces” off Iran’s coast that the U.S. has “seen since the invasion of Iraq in 2003,” he has some pros and cons to weigh about striking the Middle Eastern country. The U.S. isn’t in a war with Iran right now, so Trump’s positioning of forces could be for “either a preventive war, long-term threat, or a preemptive war,” explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “It’s very controversial, and we don’t know whether he’s going to pull the trigger or not ... He’ll have to make the decision pretty quickly because you can’t just take those many naval assets and stick them halfway across the world ... The window is probably about another six weeks.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    NOT TODAY: Virginia Judge Blocks Democrat’s Redistricting Plans | Joe Thomas
    Feb 23 2026
    Thursday, Feb. 19, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley Jr. granted a restraining order sought by the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee along with Congressmen Ben Cline (VA-06) and Morgan Griffith (VA-09). The order prohibits any voting to take place before March 18. In order to comply with Virginia law, voting of the April 21 deadline needed to begin on March 6. The request for a restraining order is based on the contention that the Democrat majority in the General Assembly were ramming redistricting-related bills through the legislature. Hurley ruled in favor of the plaintiffs because he found merit in the argument concerning the ballot question’s language. The judge further sided with Republicans in ruling that the referendum violates the timing requirements set out in the state constitution. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Victor Davis Hanson: The New Democratic Socialist Party Is a ‘Graveyard of Bad Ideas’
    Feb 21 2026
    Are Democrats really ready for a comeback—or are we about to revisit the graveyard of their own failed experiments? The so-called “new paradigms” of the Obama-Biden years—open borders, DEI mandates, deficit socialism, disarmament, and radical gender ideology—didn’t just falter… they collapsed under their own weight, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

    From Biden Bust to America First Boom: The Data Is In | E.J. Antoni, Ph.D.
    Feb 20 2026
    President Trump is reversing the Biden administration’s years of damage to American “family finances” and “federal finances.” When Biden left office in Jan. 2025, “the private sector wasn’t adding any jobs at all, but losing them,” explains E.J. Antoni, Ph.D., The Heritage Foundation’s chief economist. One year later and Trump is righting the ship: Last month was the best January ever for employment among native-born Americans. The private sector added 172,000 jobs while government jobs declined by 42,000. All told, Donald Trump has reduced the federal bureaucracy by 323,000 in just one year. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=100:00 Jobs Flip to ‘America First’: Native-Born Gains Under Trump 01:07 How Bidenomics Stalled the Private Sector (and Grew Government) 02:31 Righting the Ship: Private-Sector Hiring Up, Federal Bureaucracy Cut 03:49 Paychecks vs Prices: Inflation Cools, Affordability Still a Fight 06:24 Deficits, Spending Cuts, and What Congress Must Do Next (Wrap-Up) Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Europe Needs A MAGA-Styled Counter Revolution. Rubio Reminds Them Why

    Victor Davis Hanson: Europe Needs A MAGA-Styled Counter Revolution. Rubio Reminds Them Why
    Feb 18 2026
    When there’s a problem, call Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s “fireman.” Last week, Marco Rubio, in keeping with the tradition started by Vice President JD Vance last year, painted a sobering picture of Europe’s future. But with a twist. Rubio did not gloat or talk down to his fellow world leaders. Instead, he glorified America’s European heritage—a very controversial statement amongst leftists who try to distance themselves from Western norms and cultures—saying that Europe is poised to make the same mistakes America has already made: letting in 10 million illegal aliens, replacing meritocracy with DEI, failing to maintain military superiority, and forgoing energy independence. Europe is currently backsliding because it, unlike America, does not have a continent full of Donald Trumps to bring about a counterrevolution, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” “It really enhanced the position of Marco Rubio because he's sort of become Trump's fireman. When there's a problem that seems unsolvable or that people, whether it's in Panama or whether it's in the Middle East or whether it's in the Western Hemisphere, people call on Rubio. “And I think we should watch that very carefully because I think we're going to enter into the 2028 race, not with a Vance-Rubio vice president, but with two strong candidates.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

    Deannexing: Keeping California's Tax Dollars Local | Elaine Culotti
    Feb 18 2026
    California’s unfunded mandates “are exactly what they sound like:” a mandate “with no money behind it.” A solution like deannexation, however, could really “change the culture of what Sacramento” has been been doing of forcing cities to follow mandates and pay for them, explains Elaine Culotti, The Daily Signal’s California contributor. “It starts to direct tax dollars directly back to the cities in which have been deannexed. It’s an interesting business model, and for a state like California, is really important.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
