Hello and welcome to the Victor Davis Hanson show. This is our weekend segment, and this weekend for the middle segment, we will be doing the prelude to World War II. So all of the events leading up to are the significant ones to World War II. But before that, we'll be looking at some court cases and activities in our courts in the United States, and it looks a little grim, but maybe there's some hope and light at the end of the tunnel.

So stay with us, and we'll be right back for that.

Welcome back to the Victor Davis-Hansson show.

Victor's the Martin Ineely Anderson Senior Fellow in Military History and Classics at the Hoover Institution

and the Wayne and Marsha Busky Distinguished Fellow in History at Hillsdale College.

You can find him at his website, Victor Hanson.com.

And the name of the website is The Blade of Perseus.

It's got lots of material on it for you, all sorts of podcasts and articles that he writes for other places,

and then special articles for subscribers to the website called VDH Ultra material. Twice a week,

he writes articles, and then he does a special

video once a week on Fridays. So please come join us there for $65 a year, or try it for a month

at $6.50 for the month. So, Victor, there's lots of court action going on in the court, some of the court cases.

But I wanted to start with the most extraordinary.

Oh, I'm sorry, before we actually go into it, there was some optimistic news for our viewers,

and that is that the stock market for two days in a row has been improving.

I think 1,000 points yesterday and 500 so far today and it's Wednesday.

Yeah, we're back to maybe where it was in August during the campaign,

39, close to 40,000.

People don't look at it that way.

I mean, it's supposedly a collapse, but nobody was saying anything in August when it was 40,000.

It got up to 44.

There's two ways to interpret it.
