Hello and welcome to our weekend episode. This is the Victor Davis Hanson show. And on this segment of our

episode, we like to look at a little bit of history in the middle segment. So stay with us for that.

But we're going to continue on the news of the week. And we were talking about Trump's appointment.

So we'll finish up with those, and then we'll

move on to Jesse Smollett in the news and maybe some of the polls, more on polls for the election.

Stay with us, and we'll be right back.
