Mass protests are erupting in Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands over unchecked migration and crime. Leaders like German Chancellor Friedrich Merz admit that their welfare states can no longer sustain massive entitlement spending for migrants who entered illegally. Victor Davis Hanson lays out why Europe’s future hangs in the balance and what steps it must take to restore stability, security, and common sense on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The whole socialist paradigm is not producing goods and service that allow such general entitlements. The borders are insecure. Illegal immigrants are not assimilated, acculturated, integrated into the German, French, European body politic. And they're gonna have a terrible time spending 5% of GDP to defend themselves. This is in addition to having to lower their $200 billion surplus with the United States. “We know what Europe has to do. It has to return to commonsense energy policies; use their natural gas, use oil, to the extent they have it; build nuclear plants; be competitive on the world market, in terms of energy cost. They need to secure their borders. They need to have legal-only immigration. They need to prune back the state, the socialist state. Can they do it?” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

“Crime apologist” is not a strong enough term to describe the hysteria and vitriol that’s infected the modern-day Left. For the sake of ideology, left-wing leaders and activists are willing to sacrifice public safety and justice—from sanctuary cities releasing violent offenders to outrage over federal intervention that actually reduced crime in Washington, D.C. Victor Davis Hanson warns of the dire consequences of this mindset if left unchecked on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Do you remember the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson? He was a person from the middle class, was born without status or advantages or money, and he worked himself up to the leadership position of one of the largest health care concerns in the United States. And Luigi Mangione—a 25- or 26-year-old wealthy, well-educated kid, high status, privileged—decided that he was an enemy of the people because health care was not universal and UnitedHealthcare may have refused coverage to certain people in need. So, he decided he was going to kill him. And he did kill him. He murdered him. It's on tape. And what was the reaction of the Left? Some on the left canonized him. 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

India’s growing population, economic strength, and position as an English-speaking counterweight to China should make it a perfect partner for America. So, why isn’t it? On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson explains how trade disputes, tariffs, and India’s continued purchases of Russian oil have strained ties. Instead of strengthening bonds with America, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is moving closer to both Russia and China. “It should be a very profitable relationship, especially for India to have all of its citizens free to come to the United States. And millions apparently do and they get billions of dollars in remittances. They run a trade surplus with us. And we have a lot of commonalities as English-speaking democracies. But we're not. And so, why aren't we? One of the greatest problems is Donald Trump slapped a tariff. And he said, ‘India's tariffs are too high.’ And they replied, ‘Well, if you look at services and the other intangibles that I mentioned, maybe it's not that bad. And we're working on it.’ But Trump really did put high tariffs on India.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

It must be easy to be a conservative in Texas or Florida, right? Joking aside, what does it take to get up every day in an area that most people think is a lost cause to progressivism?

From Bolton’s role in the Trump administration to prior warnings from a federal judge about his handling of sensitive information and why the DOJ under Biden dropped its earlier investigation, Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the full backstory behind the raid on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ When Donald Trump's home was raided on August 9th, 2022, John Bolton spoke out. And he said, ‘Let's not prejudge, you,’ basically, you pro-Trumpers, ‘let's just let all the evidence, you know, be seen before we make snap judgments.’ Meaning, you know, he's probably guilty. But more importantly, then he said, ‘Donald Trump was just—anything that came across his desk. He saw french fries, he got 'em. He saw classified documents, he did, just because he could.’ And then on another occasion, ‘He has no respect for classification. And that's a lie, that he personally classified these.’ So he was very critical of anybody who objected to what he thought was an FBI, legitimate raid on Mar-a-Lago. Now it's ironic. We'll see if he uses the same tropes and themes to protect himself in the way that he blasted Trump about a similar raid.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

While D.C. residents are enjoying feeling safe on the streets of their community once again, angry middle class suburban protesters want the National Guard to leave the crime ridden city. When Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the National Guard troops at Union Station this week, protesters used their First Amendment rights to demand things go back to the status quo in the nation's Capital. On this week’s edition of Problematic Women, we discuss the radical left’s bizarre campaign against the Trump administration's efforts to improve safety in Washington’s D.C. Also on today’s show, President Donald Trump is working to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, which might explain why Trump has not made many public appearances since his meeting with European leaders on Monday - he’s business negotiating a peace plan. And Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese joins the show to give us an inside look into Air Force One and the press briefing room of the White House.

You may not have ever heard the name of a man who was among the most profound intellectuals of the modern conservative movement in America. Frank S. Meyer was the man who came up with the idea of fusionism, an alliance between traditionalists and libertarians that underpinned the anti-communist bloc that composed the American Right for the latter half of the 20th century. Ironically enough, Meyer first came up with the idea of fusionism when he was an out-and-proud Communist, though he initially used the term as a unification of the American Founding and communist ideas a la Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States.” Daniel Flynn, a Hoover Institute fellow and senior editor of “The American Spectator,” has spent the last few years writing a new biography of Meyer called “The Man Who Invented Conservatism.” His book brings to light new documents and information about Meyer’s life previously unknown, and he joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss the man-turned-missing-link in the conservative movement.

This type of rhetoric, embraced by DEI ideology, is nothing short of racial essentialism—and dangerously divisive. Victor Davis Hanson explains why such rhetoric threatens America’s identity as a successful multiracial democracy—and why ethnic and racial chauvinism must be rejected—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Joy Reid is basically saying that black people are cognitively superior to other people. I wish this was an isolated incident. But remember, we've had this controversy before, about the president of Sacramento State, Luke Wood, who, in his past, was an African American intellectual activist, as he self-describes himself. And he said he wanted to ”eliminate”—that's a bad word to use, given the history of it in the 20th century—“eliminate whiteness.” Again, no repercussions. “We have zero tolerance when racists, who are white, say such things about other groups. But in a truly multiracial, tolerant society, people who not only attack a group, collectively, and stereotype it, but they do so from positions of influence and power—like The New Yorker magazine or a former MSNBC anchor—they can do a great deal of damage, unless they're called out for it.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Recently, an illegal alien pulled an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike, resulting in a crash that killed three innocent people. The man, identified as Harjinder Singh, was issued a driver’s license by the state of California despite failing basic questions on his driver’s test. Victor Davis Hanson explains how California’s refusal to enforce immigration law and its dangerous trucking conditions create chaos on the roads—and why these failures don’t stay contained within the state’s borders—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ What was very disturbing was the expression on Mr. Singh's face. It was calm. He looked around. It was almost as if, ‘Oh. I made a U-turn. Somebody hit my truck. I wonder what happened?’ He didn't get out and try to help anybody. He stood at the side of the road, finally. But why was he driving? He was driving because California issued him a license when they knew he was an unlawful resident of the United States and he was not proficient in English, at least enough to be able to read rudimentary traffic signs and signals. In other words, he killed three people. “This man was not a U.S. citizen. He was not here legally, and he could not read or write English, apparently. And the wages of that, we found out in Florida, were the death of three innocent people. And no remorse. No apologies on the part of California or Gavin Newsom. Bottom line: California is dangerous to itself, in a myriad of ways, but it's also dangerous to everybody outside of California because its pathologies are not contained within its borders.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson puts the summit in historical perspective and compares Trump’s diplomacy to past U.S. presidents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ It begs the question, do you have any collective memory? The Ukraine war started when Vladimir Putin invaded the Crimea and Donbas under the presidency of Barack Obama. Remember the hot mic in Seoul, where he said, 'Tell Vladimir that if he gives me space for my last election, I'll be flexible on missile defense'? Do you remember that? He also invaded, as you remember, in Joe Biden's tenure. He tried to take Kyiv. He didn't during Donald Trump's four years. “ All I'm asking them is, please give us an alternative strategy. How long do you wanna fight? Who is gonna fight? How many deaths, wounded are you willing to incur to push Vladimir Putin all the way back to where he was prior to the invasion of 2014, when Barack Obama allowed him to come in?

“Things Take Time” The Mirriam Webster Dictionary defines the word ‘campaign’ as: a connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result. There is no definition of how many of those operations it might take to achieve a goal. Such is the case of school choice in Virginia. In 2012, after years of trying to convince legislators to follow the lead of states like Florida, Arizona and Nevada to offer ‘money-follows-the-child’ voucher programs (Nevada has since reversed their voucher program), Virginia created the Education Improvement Scholarship Tax Credit to help generate tax-advantaged contributions to a state managed program where approved students could use the scholarship to pay to attend a school of their choice. Not the same, but a step in the campaign. In 2021 with the election of Winsome Earle-Sears as lieutenant Governor, the school choice movement had a vocal proponent who teamed up with the Virginia Education Opportunity Alliance to bring real choice to the legislators with the political upside of Conservative Republicans being the heroes in the low-income inner-city neighborhoods. That effort was done in by rural representatives whose constituents didn’t have many choices in their sparsely populated counties. Now, with the advent of Micro-Schools and Co-operative schools as we detailed in a previous column, perhaps now is the time.

Meanwhile, California faces skyrocketing gas and electricity prices, mass population flight, and crumbling infrastructure. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down how Newsom’s redistricting strategy mirrors Texas in name only and targets Republican incumbents on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “What Gavin wants to do is he’s targeting Republican congresswomen and men. And he thinks that he can redraw the districts and put two Republican incumbents in the same district. And then, one will either drop out or they’ll have to run against each other and one will win, and they will be diminished by half. He doesn’t care about the 40% of his own state that won’t have any congressional representation. That’s not on his plan.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson explains what was (and wasn’t) said at the summit, why Russia is appealing directly to Trump and the American people, and how Trump—whether the Left likes it or not—could end this war he didn’t start on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Ukraine will not be in NATO. They don’t have the military wherewithal. They have the moral edge and the moral right—but they don’t have the military wherewithal. Nor does Europe or the United States want to go to that length to give it to them against nuclear Russia to reclaim the Donbas—all of the Donbas—or Crimea. “ The summit was about what we could expect. Putin wants to win over America so then America will back off from Ukraine, and so it can get some more mileage westward and further deteriorate or erode or detrite the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian military is pretty tough. It’s hanging in there. It wants enough aid to leverage Putin. And between those two poles, there will be a DMZ. And if there is a peace settlement, it will be the work—whether the Left likes it or not—of Donald Trump, the one world leader, among the three, that has nothing to do with this war.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

President Donald Trump cracked down on crime in the nation’s capital this week. On Monday, he declared a state of emergency in Washington, D.C., through an executive order, temporarily placing the Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. He also deployed more than 800 National Guard troops, resulting in over 100 arrests so far. Trump’s move has us wondering: Has it always been this easy to clean up our city? We break it all down on today’s episode of “Problematic Women," and share some of our own wild encounters with crime in D.C. This week wasn’t just heavy on politics—it was packed with pop culture wins. Taylor Swift made her podcast debut on “New Heights,” hosted by NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, crashing the livestream in the process. One segment in particular has us buzzing about the political implications of the “trad” trend, and if Swift could destigmatize that. Meanwhile, Demi Lovato surprised fans by joining the Jonas Brothers on tour—an epic Camp Rock reunion. More than that, her appearance exemplified what being clean from the woke-mind virus looks like. Not long ago, she was a short-haired feminist using they/them pronouns and battling addiction. Today, she’s a healthy, happy, straight newlywed—back on stage and performing at her best. We’re joined by Emily Jashinsky, D.C. correspondent for UnHerd news site, host of “After Party with Emily Jashinsky,” a new podcast from the Megyn Kelly podcast network, and pop culture aficionado. She shares her take on Trump’s crime crackdown and gives her unfiltered thoughts on these big pop culture moments.

Should I even send my kids back to school at all? Parents at every level are asking this question, whether they're concerned about the exploding cost of higher education or the liberal takeover of the preschool classroom, because there is a disease running rampant through our education system. Though Dr. Matthew Spalding, a Ph.D., is not a medical doctor, he has diagnosed this disease that has led to more parents questioning America’s educational institutions. As the dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College’s Washington, D.C., campus and a Gov. Ron DeSantis appointee to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees, Spalding continues to work on a cure. He joins “The Signal Sitdown” this week to discuss.

Victor Davis Hanson revisits some points he made and reiterates that the real issue is the danger of racially divisive language coming from the leader of a major public university in California on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Dr. Luke Wood—I think his full name is Jonathan Wood. Jonathan Luke Wood is upset because he gave an interview in which—and it was not sliced and diced. There's a long segment of 30 seconds or so. And you can see it, that segment has not been edited, when he says he wants to “eliminate whiteness.” The problem is that he's on record saying it. It resurfaced. People saw it. And it spread like wildfire over the internet. Hence, my attention to it and my discourse to you about it. But I can't help it if Dr. Wood has said things in his past that seem to be racialist and divisive. … And yet, nevertheless, he suggests that he's not responsible, I guess, for saying what he did because he said it in 2017 and it's been reappearing, most recently, in clips. ” 🫵 The Daily Signal is funded by readers like you.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. Will this summit move the world toward peace or harden the deadlock? Hanson lays out why the Biden administration has avoided such meetings, why the “Putin puppet” narrative has gone silent, and what Trump’s high-stakes negotiating strategy could mean for the war’s endgame on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “We’re gonna have this summit. And Trump is going to say to Putin, ‘You can have no NATO Ukraine. You can have the Crimea. You can have the Donbas. I think I can get Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people to agree. But we’ve gotta fight over how far west you are and whether you have to go back or will stay in place.’ And then he’s going to have to tell Zelenskyy, ‘We’re supplying you. That’s the only leverage we have against Putin, along with a secondary boycott. But you have to decide whether you’re going to cede the Donbas, Crimea, and some of the territory. Because if you don’t, there’s not going to be a peace. And if there’s not going to be a peace, we can’t assure you a blank check forever.’” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Not only is Trump succeeding, he is exceeding expectations as well. But the Left is not going down without a fight. Victor Davis Hanson explains the challenges being poised against Trump’s counterrevolution, and what he believes are the next steps on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The symptoms of the progressive project are not just the Democrats exercising power in Congress or holding the White House, it's how they get that power. And they get that power through PBS and NPR, now defunded; cable news and slanted network news, now under assault when they lie and defame and face court ramifications. “ The majority of the American people oppose [Democrats’] agenda. And they do this through the bureaucracies, through the media, through the universities, through the popular culture. And these are the very sources that Donald Trump is asking them to reform. And the government is going to shrink. The government's gonna get out of the media business. The government's gonna take a hard look at universities, who want and obtain federal funds.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

“I told you so starts here” Over the past 200 days (the first 200 of the second Trump term) many details have come to light that confirmed things that for years had been dismissed as “conspiracy theories.” Just this week, details that show that the FBI, under Trump’s own AG, Jeff Sessions, had whistleblower testimony that they failed to follow up on regarding classified document leaks from then-Congressman Adam Schiff that were leaked to trigger embarrassing investigations into the President in time to impact the 2018 mid-term elections. Also this week, the Capitol Police Chief finally spoke out and confirmed that the President had asked for the National Guard be deployed to the Capitol building on January third. Three days before the deadly riots. Stories like this come from courageous independent investigative reporters like John Soloman at ‘justthenews.com’ our guest, Walter Curt of ‘WCdispatch.com’ who shares with us two stories. The first is of two teenage girls who allege that they were taken to get abortions by Fairfax County school officials without alerting their parents. Just now, we are learning that Governor Youngkin has announced that he is “directing the Virginia State police bureau of criminal investigation to open a full criminal investigation.” The second regards a group of former US intelligence officers that call themselves “the Steady State” who have endorsed their former co-worker in the intelligence field, Abigail Spanberger, for Virginia Governor.

“What Gives Him the Right?” President Trump has temporarily federalized the Washington DC police and sent in ICE agents and National Guard troops to “pursue and arrest every violent criminal in the district who breaks the law, undermines public safety and endangers law-abiding Americans,” according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The move was welcomed by the DC police union chief who said that the union “supports the President’s announcement this morning to assume temporary control of the MPD in response to the escalating crime crisis in Washington, DC.” However, Mayor Muriel Bowser made this cryptic statement: "unsettling and unprecedented." "My message to residents is this: We know that access to our democracy is tenuous," The Daily Signal spoke with former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli about the President’s actions and the repercussions.

Democrats have pushed some of the most brazen political scandals in modern history—from the Russia collusion hoax, to burying the Hunter Biden laptop, to hiding President Biden’s cognitive decline—all in the name of stopping Trump. Victor Davis Hanson exposes how the Left has undermined democracy in the very process of claiming to defend it on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The problem, James Carville and Democrats, is that you have sabotaged democracy. And you’ve done things that no one has ever done before to an oppositional candidate, presidential transition, and president. And now you’re furious because you’re on the 40% side of every issue that’s dear to you—from the trans issue to the border issue, to the crime issue, to the Green New Deal issue, to foreign policy. And you have no political power. You don’t have the White House, you don’t have the Congress, you don’t have the Supreme Court.

Hanson breaks down the facts and challenges these misconceptions on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Did it save lives? It did. And it did in a variety of ways. Of all the belligerents in World War II, the Japanese army, military, government—whatever term we use—killed more civilians and soldiers versus the amount of soldiers and civilians that lost than any other belligerent. More than the Russians. More than the Germans. In other words, it was a deadly killing machine that averaged 10,000 deaths a day at its hands. How else could you stop it? “ Had they not dropped the bomb, the fire raids would’ve continued, but not three or four times a week, every single day, from Okinawa. And not with 1,000-2,000 heavy bombers, but with an envisioned 5,000-6,000. That led Curtis LeMay to say, "The bomb wasn’t necessary. We could have burned Japan to the ground and forced its surrender." Much more people would’ve died had that entailed. And so, what did the bomb do? It stopped this Japanese war machine from killing people.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Why are even black and Hispanic Americans rejecting it? What does Trump get right that DEI advocates can’t answer? And how did elites like Elizabeth Warren and Zohran Mamdani game the system? Victor Davis Hanson answers these questions and explains how DEI’s unravelling will pan out on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ It predicates hiring, retention, promotion, tenure on the color of your skin and not the content of your character, or your gender or your sexual orientation. And so, it's a winning issue for Donald Trump, when you look at the polls. It's not just that 60% of so-called white people, who often feel they're victimized by DEI are opposed, but Hispanics and blacks also poll that they are against it. And people—that's baffled people. But it's kind of obvious when you think about it. It's commonsensical. “DEI was based on poverty and past documented racism. … Mr. Mamdani says he's a minority and he is black, and he needs special preference. He also said he was gonna go after “white or affluent neighborhoods.” He's Indian American. His family originally came from India. Indian Americans, according to our census, are the wealthiest, most privileged ethnic group in America.So, what I'm getting at is your skin color no longer can be correlated, exactly, with your class.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Free Speech and Free Association are the essence of the United States, and both fell under the jackboots of politically weaponized “wokeness” here in Virginia when a realtor decided he wanted to run for city council of Staunton. What happened next reads like the script for a Daniel Craig movie as agents for his opponents found a social media post from years before in which he reposted a Biblical passage, Leviticus 20:13, that had been shared with him by Franklin Graham. Not only was the passage used to rally opposition to his run for public office, after that election was completed they shared the passage with his business association, the National Association of Realtors in an effort to have him expelled from the organization and prohibiting him access to the real estate listings he would use to help his clients find a home. Two weeks ago the National and Virginia Association of Realtors reversed their original determination against Mr. Fauber and changed their code of ethics to only regulate speech used during a realtor conducting of real estate business. Then, on Tuesday HJuly 29th Mr Fauber’s legal team from the Founding Freedoms Law Center, a division of Virginia’s Family Foundation, announced that the Department of Justice had opened an investigation into the Conduct of both organizations. We sit down with Mychael Sylvester, on e of Mr. Fauber’s lawyer from the Founding Freedoms Law Center to catch up of this attempt to ruin a person’s life simply because you disagree with them.

Victor Davis Hanson explains the long-running tensions between Jerome Powell and Trump, why Trump has dubbed him “Too Late Powell,” and the economic consequences for everyday Americans on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The Wall Street Journal was forecasting a ‘stock crash,’ a ‘trade war,’ ‘uncertainty over tariffs,’ ‘anemic GDP,’ and all of the barometers… At that point, you would've thought that Powell, who agreed, basically, with the consensus of the economic media and most of the economists, why didn't he intervene in fears that they were right, that we were headed toward a recession and lower rates? Instead, he didn't do anything. “ Jerome Powell has been in this fight with Donald Trump. … And whether we like it or not, he's acting emotionally or angrily to Donald Trump. And he has been under threat of being fired. He does not want to show that he's going to back down and lose the independence of the Fed to the president. The problem with that stance is it really hurts millions of Americans.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Wednesday morning Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon reported that a gentleman named Pin Ni, who is a US-based executive with luxury electric car maker KARMA Automotive gave $50,000 over two contributions to the gubernatorial campaign of former CIA officer Abigail Spanberger. Ni, more troubling, listed as a member of the Chinese Communist Party. US Election law prohibits campaign contributions from foreign nationals, and the Chinese government insists that you renounce your Citizenship in order to qualify for US dual citizenship. So, one or the other must be true. For Spanberger, a big contribution from an Electric Vehicle manufacturer that would certainly have an interest in making sure that the Virginia Clean Economy Act doesn’t get change or go away is problematic. Doubly ironic given the amount of angst that was expressed by the Democratic party leadership in 2021 about Glenn Youngkin’s extensive business ties having been CEO of the Carlyse Group before being elected Governor. However, that isn’t nearly the crime that accepting a political donation from a foreign national would be. The Beacon story says that Ni sits on the board of directors for the Wanxiang Group, which he founded in 1994. The company’s 2025 annual report says that Ni had "been recognized" as an "Outstanding Communist Party Member of the Group" 15 times. Spanberger needs to address this but without any debates scheduled, Earle-Sears may not get a direct chance so it’s up to the Virginia press corps. Before the story came out the Daily Signal spoke with Republican Party of Virginia Chair, State Senator Mark Peake about President Trump’s statements regarding endorsing Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in her race against Spanberger and her unwillingness to debate and that is the podcast you are about to listen to. After seeing the story, he told us; “It doesn’t surprise me that Chinese communists want Spanberger to win. I am sure they have reviewed her voting record in Congress and prefer her to a true, conservative patriot like Winsome Sears.” Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters: https://www.dailysignal.com/email Subscribe to our other shows: The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AFk8xjiOOBEynVg3JiN6g The Signal Sitdown: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376 Problematic Women: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741 Victor Davis Hanson: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327 Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

Victor Davis Hanson explains what this rhetoric really means, and why this racialized framing is not only intellectually hollow, but deeply dangerous for a pluralistic and Western democratic society on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “He believed that black students on test scores or GPA or by traditional criteria were not competitive with other groups … and therefore, you had to have a different type of vocabulary, a different type of approach for black students, in a way you wouldn’t for other students. This is not gonna work. We have tried that for 50 or 60 years. And we’ve seen that the Great Society specialization and fixation on race did not work. “This is in the age of post-DEI, in a very reactionary, retrograde approach, that you’re going to single out particular groups and you’re going to emphasize particular plans, programs based on the color of their skin at a time when we’re all trying to transcend it because when we have done that, it didn’t work. It created tensions rather than alleviated them. It created suspicion and distrust rather than ending such things. It’s a retrograde tribal thought that goes back to pre-civilizational ideas. 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the absurdity of the outrage and exposes the real history of eugenics—hint: it doesn’t come from the Right. “ We have all sorts of models that pose for jean commercials. American Eagle have had black women, people, Hispanics, everybody. And do you remember the ad by Levi's for Beyonce? Levi's has her portrayed with a cowboy hat, a yellow wig, and in a country-western setting with Levi jeans. … Nobody objected, nobody said, ‘Beyonce is objectifying whiteness because, as an African American, she's got a blond wig on.’” “ A final warning or a piece of advice from Aristotle: We act to beauty by proportion and mathematics. As I said, Beyonce is beautiful, not because she's black or not because she's not white, or Sydney Sweeney is beautiful, not because of her skin color, but because she has, as Aristotle would say, perfect symmetry. And that's a universal idea.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Culture matters. We see it in the response to the new American Eagle ads featuring actress Sydney Sweeney and the Dunkin' Donuts commercial starring Gavin Casalegno. And we see it in the way Americans think and talk about abortion and having children. On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women,” March for Life President Jennie Bradley Lichter joins the show to discuss where American sentiment on abortion stands, and how the pro-life movement is effectively working to save the unborn even as chemical abortions have become the most popular form of abortion in the U.S. Lichter also discusses her work during the first Trump administration and answers the question: can women have it all? Plus, former Vice President Kamala Harris is coming out with a book on her 107 day presidential campaign. Should be a fun read! We react to the news.
