Summary

Here’s the advice Victor Davis Hanson prescribes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”: “ We need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter that we can be, the more effective and more encompassing can be the reforms. And we're going to try to make sure that we're not an existential enemy of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and an array of anti-Western societies. “ As far as Ukraine, Donald Trump is under all sorts of criticism because he, at first, had a legitimate beef with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. … All he has to say is, ‘Vladimir Putin did not invade in my first term. He invaded during Barack Obama's term and Joe Biden's term. Even George W. Bush's term he invaded. It wasn't I who got us into this mess. We cannot watch aimlessly and helplessly as 1.5 million lives are consumed with death, wounding, capture, missing—these casualties.’” 00:00 Trump's Greenland Controversy 01:36 Panama and Military Force 02:32 The Trump Counterrevolution 02:56 Tariffs and Trade with Canada 03:57 Addressing the National Debt 05:10 Ukraine and Russia Relations 07:27 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump caused a stir again when he suggested that the recent independence vote in Greenland was good news and that someday the United States

might have to absorb Greenland. But nevertheless, given the nature of the Trump counter-revolution,

0:46.4

we need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter that we can be, the more effective

0:51.9

and more encompassing can be the reforms. And we're going to try

Donald Trump caused a stir again when he suggested that the recent independence vote in Greenland was a good news, and that someday, sometimes,

1:32.4

somewhere the United States might have to absorb Greenland.

1:35.8

I guess he meant militarily.

1:37.8

residents, and it's kind of an ossified colonial client of Denmark. But nevertheless, there are ways to

1:55.9

partner with the people of Greenland, whether they remain a colony of Denmark or whether they're

2:01.9

independent that will keep Russia and China out. The same thing is true of Panama. We don't need

2:08.6

All we want is, and we have achieved that, is not to have the Chinese controlling the exit
