California’s Billionaires Already Paid Their Fairshare | Elaine Culotti
Coming off the heels of an already highly partisan, controversial ballot initiative season, Golden State voters are again being presented a choice that will have ramifications for generations to come: The Billionaire Tax Act. During the upcoming general election this fall, California voters will choose whether to impose a one-time 5% tax on residents with net worths over $1 billion, with the goal of raising over $100 billion. California Representative Ro Khanna, a purported 2028 presidential hopeful whose district includes the corporate headquarters of Silicon Valley’s elites, like Apple and Intel, has already endorsed the wealth tax. Makes sense? No, not really. California’s roughly 200 billionaires, “pay 47% of the taxes that go into the general fund. And what we're doing here in California is we have decided that we need to make a hundred billion dollars, right? And the way to get to it is to create this tax on things that have not been sold yet. So the way to get to it is to do a one time 5% charge on the 200 earners in the state that pay the most in taxes already,” argues Daily Signal California Commentator Elaine Culotti.

America First Hits Venezuela—And Canada Pays the Price | E.J. Antoni
In war, dependable access to oil is as important as dependable access to kinetic arms. Access to ample reliable flows of oil represents a key strategic interest to the United States. Western Canada sends over 4 million barrels a day of heavy crude to American refiners. But now with access to the massive flows of Venezuelan crude following the Trump-led ousting of Nicolas Maduro last week, the U.S. may soon no longer need to rely on Canada for this vital strategic resource. For months, Canada used its vast reserve of natural resources as leverage in its tariff negotiations with the U.S. Not anymore. “If the Monroe Doctrine warned Europeans to stay out of the Western Hemisphere and the Roosevelt Corollary established American intervention therein, then the ‘Trump Corollary’ has put a finer, and more economic point on the matter that’s best summed up in two words: America first,” argues Chief Heritage Foundation Economist E.J. Antoni for The Daily Signal on this special video commentary.

Victor Davis Hanson: Minnesota Somali Fraud, Illegal Trucking Scandals Share One Thing: DEI
**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation** Whether it’s some within the Minneapolis Somali community racking in millions of dollars from government grants for fraudulent businesses or severely unqualified illegal aliens obtaining commercial truck driving licenses, these groups were “categorized by officials as on the victimized, oppressed side of the lecture. And therefore, they were not completely audited. Because, if they had been audited, the cries of racism, nativism, etc., prejudice, bias would’ve been voiced. And people didn’t want to be exposed to that,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” These non-meritocratic DEI recipients are thrown into a self-perpetuating system that encourages them to continuously engage in illegal activity as they will never face consequences for their actions. When audits stop, deterrence dies—and corruption thrives.

Victor Davis Hanson: Energy, Tax Cuts, and Deregulation Could Supercharge 2026’s Economy
Economic booms are usually defined by “greater productivity,” increased foreign investment, “reasonable” interest rates, “energy production,” and “plentiful deregulation and tax cuts.” But will any of this happen in 2026? Hanson predicts we’ll “see an economic bonanza” in 2026 as “there's going to be more oil,” “ new technologies,” and “all sorts of tax cuts” and “more deregulation than we've ever seen” in the Big Beautiful Bill on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “ Add it all up: We've had an unexpectedly—unexpectedly, unexpectedly—good third quarter. I imagine the fourth quarter might be just as good if it were not for the government shutdown—the longest in history—that occurred in the fourth quarter, but we'll see. But more importantly: more foreign investment, more tax cuts, more deregulation, more energy development, lower interest, and I think you're gonna see an economic bonanza.” 00:00 Introduction: What Makes an Economy Boom? 00:34 Unexpected Economic Trends 01:18 Analyzing Trump’s Third Quarter Growth 02:56 Future Economic Predictions for 2026 04:43 Conclusion: Preparing for the Unexpected 👉 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.

Venezuela's Warning to Californians: Never Take Elections for Granted
While Congress argues over whether it was “overreaching by the Trump administration” to capture Venezuela’s dictator Nicolás Maduro, it’s important to remember that Venezuela was “ not a free and open society” for the past two decades, reminds Daily Signal California Commentator Elaine Culotti. Culotti urges Californians to see Venezuela as a reminder to take their civic duty of voting seriously in the state’s upcoming elections. “ If we don't vote differently, we can't change things. And the fact that we have the power to vote is such a miracle. It's such a freedom. It's such an honor to have the power to choose the people that you want to run your country, your state, your town, your school, your insurance, everything… We should be celebrating it every day, and we should be taking advantage of it.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Jacksonian Foreign Policy (With a Twist)
Almost one year into his second term one thing is clear: President Donald Trump is neither an interventionist, nation-builder or an isolationist. Instead, Trump has seemingly adopted the foreign policy of President Andrew Jackson, guided by principles like “No better friend, no worse enemy.” However, Trump’s Jacksonian approach to the world stage comes with a slight twist, a “vise,” so to say, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”: “If Maduro cannot put embargoed oil on sanctioned tankers and get to Cuba, then Cuba's going to have no ability to distill gasoline, nor will it have energy. And that's exactly what is happening. The Cuban economy is in a Trump vise. Are we going to bomb Cuba? No. Are we going to have a Bay of Pigs standoff or invasion? No. Are we going to have a Cuban Missile Crisis with China? No. We're going to have a Trump vise. And it's going to squeeze.” 00:00 Introduction to Trump's Foreign Policy 00:49 The Vise Policy Explained 01:57 Case Study: Iran and Venezuela 04:37 Impact on Cuba and the Monroe Doctrine 05:46 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 👉 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: What We Were Told About January 6 Doesn’t Add Up
As the fifth anniversary of January 6 approaches, the Left’s carefully constructed narrative is starting to crack. On today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words," Hanson explains how branding January 6 an “insurrection” drove impeachment efforts, investigations, and years of specifically framed media coverage. He also examines the arrest and confession of Brian Cole Jr., the alleged January 6 pipe bomber, and why the delayed investigation and lingering questions surrounding his background cast doubt on many of the conclusions Americans were first told to accept. “To sum up everything we've been told about January 6th from the congressional committee to Kamala Harris' description of it, to comparisons with the four-month, $2 billion, 35 dead, 1,500 police officers, prior riots, arson attacks on courthouses, police precincts that was never really mentioned as a comparable crisis in the republic, all of these things, a number of FBI informants, a number of FBI agents, any effort to find the pipe bomber, the treatment of the January—it was all never transparent. We never got the honest story. So, that begs the question, why? Why didn't they just come out and say, "Here's all the information"? And the reason is, they wanted to cement a narrative in everybody's mind that a reckless demonstration that turned into a riot was a pre-planned insurrection by Donald Trump, who ordered it, and therefore, should forfeit his political career, and he should never be allowed to run for office.” (0:00) The January 6th Narrative (1:40) Inconsistencies in the Investigation (2:20) The Mysterious Pipe Bomber (3:49) Media and Political Reactions (5:05) FBI Informants and Undercover Agents (7:02) Summarizing the January 6th Events (8:47) Conclusion 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

How California's Incompetence After Wildfires Woke a Sleeping Giant | Elaine Culotti
It’s been one year since California’s Pacific Palisades fires, and “not enough has happened” to rebuild communities. “Mayors and towns are struggling” to get Sacramento to help rebuild these communities as was promised. Elaine Culotti, known as the “Lipstick Farmer,” discusses the aftermath of the Pacific Palisades fires in her first podcast episode for The Daily Signal. “These are real people that lost everything and have absolutely no one to turn to for help. Nothing has happened ... Our governor is absolutely nowhere to be seen. I have not seen him in the Pacific Palisades since a few days after the fires ... We have been absolutely left to fend for ourselves.” Support The Daily Signal’s work today by becoming a Signal Elite Supporter.

Victor Davis Hanson: The West Isn’t Finished, as Long as Assimilation Starts Now
Western civilization is being tested like never before. Victor Davis Hanson argues to the contrary, saying that while much of Western Europe and America’s blue states continue down a failing path, signs of renewal are emerging in unexpected places—Eastern Europe and America’s red states. These countermovements are pushing back against cultural nihilism, restoring free speech, reinforcing the nuclear family, and demanding legal immigration with full assimilation. He breaks down these emerging trends on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “’It’s a verdict for the future of Western civilization. We've had the revolution for 50 years, but we haven't seen a counterrevolution to the degree that's taking place. Western European elites in the former British Commonwealth and blue state elites all are very critical of the Yahoos in Eastern Europe and the Yahoos in the red states. But only for a while because their paradigm is collapsing as we speak. And the people who are gonna save Europe are the people who they thought they were embarrassed of. It's quite ironic, but it's also a hopeful time for Western civilization.” (0:00) Introduction (0:48) Symptoms of Decline in the West (1:58) The Impact of Ideological Choices (2:47) Open Borders and Assimilation Issues (3:32) Counterrevolutions (4:40) A New Paradigm for Renewal We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Victor Davis Hanson: AI Is Hijacking My Image

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats’ Refined Crudity—Not Trump Insults—Pose the Real Danger
Not all “civil” behavior is harmless. Some actions, cloaked in sophistication or authority, can be far more destructive than overtly crude ones. From Donald Trump’s press interactions to the actions of journalists, university leaders, and political officials, Victor Davis Hanson distinguishes between crass and refined crudity—showing how the latter misleads the public under the guise of authority or expertise—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “No need to call Jasmine Crockett a low-IQ person or a reporter dumb or stupid or fatty. And I would call that crass crudity. And it's something that Trump does and probably should not do, and people have probably reminded him of that. But there's another type of crudity, I would call that crudity refined crudity. Crass crudity is openly overt, transparent, and condemned. But it's also rhetorical. It doesn't affect policies. It's the ways one reacts to criticism in Trump's case. But what is refined crudity? I wanna tell you, give you some examples, very different examples of what I would call refined crudity.” (0:00) Introduction (0:20) Trump's Crass Crudity (1:13) Refined Crudity in Media (2:16) Refined Crudity in Academia (3:59) Refined Crudity in Law and Politics (5:12) Refined Crudity in Military Leadership (8:04) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Generation That Got Wiped Out: DEI’s War on White Men
DEI killed meritocracy—and white men in America have paid the price. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down a recent, controversial article from Compact Magazine, which examines how white males have been increasingly excluded from fields like entertainment, journalism, and academia over the past several decades. Hanson explores the effects of early affirmative action, post-George Floyd hiring practices, and who bears responsibility for these changes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I do blame the older white hierarchy, mostly liberal professors, liberal journalists, liberal directors, liberal actors, liberal screenwriters. They all had nice cushy jobs. They earned them. Then they decided in their utopian generosity that they were going to admit people into their guilds without the same criterion that they had had because it made them feel better. “In other words, they didn't accept Tom Sowell's or Shelby Steele's advice or Jason Riley's that says, when you do that, you're going to encourage mediocrity and opportunist, and you're going to deprecate the work of African Americans or Hispanics that are very talented. But that's what you're going to do just to gratify your own sense of ego and shame. And that's exactly what happened.” (0:00) Introduction (0:21) Compact Article (0:57) Affirmative Action and Its Impact (2:50) Meritocracy Loss (4:12) Blame and Responsibility (5:54) Consequences of Lower Standards (7:07) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Framed Trump on ‘Affordability’ Crisis. Here’s What Trump Must Do Now.
“Affordability” is the word going into the 2026 midterm elections—and a GOP win is incumbent on Trump’s ability to communicate the truth on the economy. Victor Davis Hanson says that, despite recent economic wins such as falling inflation rates and tax cuts, the public perception of economic pain persists because Democrats have successfully shifted blame onto President Donald Trump from the real culprit—former President Joe Biden. How did this happen? And can the Trump administration fix this perception in less than a year? Hanson breaks it down on today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” (0:00) Introduction (0:21) Key Issues in the 2026 Midterms (1:45) Trump’s Economic Wins (3:32) Democrat Misconceptions (4:55) Foreign Policy Focus (6:42) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Western Leaders Won’t Acknowledge ‘Radical Islam’
The disastrous way in which public officials handled the Bondi Beach massacre begs the question: Why are authorities hesitant to call out radical Islamist violence when it occurs? From a mass shooting in Australia to canceled Christmas celebrations in Paris, Victor Davis Hanson argues these incidents are not isolated. Instead, they reveal deeper pathologies facing Western societies: open borders without assimilation, ideological blinders driven by DEI dogma, and a broader cultural, spiritual, and strategic decline. He breaks it down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “In the case of these incidents, it means, if the perpetrator is from the Middle East, there's a feeling, a general feeling, that you cannot identify him. Or, if you do identify him or you say it's a radical, Muslim, you have to then say, ‘We deplore all violence. We don't—we deplore antisemitism’—which is the case in point in Australia—‘but we also deplore Islamophobia, of which there is no examples of people mass shooting Muslims in the case that we have seen.’” (0:00) Introduction (1:31) Champs-Élysées Christmas Cancellation (2:01) Brown University Shooting (3:11) Broader Issues in the West (3:21) Open Borders and Lack of Assimilation (5:42) Western Decline and Its Consequences (7:23) Final Thoughts We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.Support The Daily Signal’s work today by becoming a Signal Elite Supporter.

Victor Davis Hanson: War With Venezuela Could Break Trump’s MAGA Base
Tensions between Venezuela and the United States are rising as Trump cracks down on drug trafficking, illicit oil shipments, and hostile foreign influence in Latin America. With talk of confrontation swirling in the media, questions are mounting about how far the U.S. should go—and what lessons history offers. Victor Davis Hanson puts Trump’s standoff with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro into historical perspective and explains why a military invasion of Venezuela would be a strategic mistake on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Something that the world is looking at. And for the United States to go in there and have a ground removal, I think would be unwise at this point. So, what would be the alternative? It's sort of what we're doing now. We're isolating all drug shipments, illegal transportation of embargoed oil out of Venezuela. It's kind of a quasi-blockade/embargo. And they're going to tighten the screws.” (0:00) Introduction (0:50) US Interdiction Efforts (2:18) Historical Context: The Invasion of Grenada (5:24) Challenges of a Venezuelan Invasion (6:21) Political Ramifications (7:37) Final Thoughts The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers.

Victor Davis Hanson: Pete Hegseth Delivered the Military Turnaround Washington Said Was Impossible
The criticisms against Sec. of War Pete Hegseth are “entirely political,” and anyone could have said the same things about “the Obama and Biden administration—and much more egregiously.” Hegseth has turned the U.S. military around in ways no one thought was possible, like getting the military back to meeting all of its recruiting quotas, explains Hanson during today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Recruitment under the Biden administration fell “some 40 to 50,000 recruits,” and former Sec. of Defense Lloyd Austin’s Pentagon used excuses like “people are out of shape, in gangs, using drugs, etc.” “The real cause was, as Pete Hegseth said when he came in, that people felt that the military was not emphasizing combat, battlefield efficacy… [Now,] There is a record number of Army recruits. The military has met all of its recruiting. That is equivalent to the dramatic revolution on the southern border. Nobody thought we could close the border. We did. Nobody thought we could get recruitment back. Pete Hegseth did,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid:’ How a Political Meme Toppled a President and Could Do It Again
Affordability is the “new theme that Democrats are using against the Trump administration,” and it appears the administration thinks its “foreign policy successes would mitigate any criticism.” Victor Davis Hanson illustrates the dangers of presidents not heeding the economy’s significance with voters, drawing on one of history’s most notorious examples: former President George H.W. Bush, during today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Bush lost his reelection in 1992 because he and his campaign didn’t take his opponents seriously nor did they think the economy was a worthy platform to run on. “ The economy is on the uptake. Donald Trump is overseas with a lot of successes. And the same Democrats are saying: It's affordability, stupid. And they need to get out in front of that issue and not discount it in the way that Republicans did in 1992.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s New National Security Strategy Holds China’s Feet to the Fire
The recently unveiled U.S. National Security Strategy has ruffled liberal and even some conservative feathers both here and abroad, for two reasons: No. 1, the Trump administration told Europe an inconvenient truth: The birthplace of Western civilization is facing “civilization erasure.” And No. 2, critics feel that the strategy is not critical enough of Russia and China. They’re wrong. An entire section, “Economic Security,” is a not-so-subtle nod to America’s ongoing, great power competition with China, evident in these carefully selected priorities: “balanced trade,” ”securing access to critical supply chains and materials,” “reindustrialization,” “reviving our defense industrial base,” etc. The other controversy is: Why does the strategy call for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war and not just openly condemn Vladimir Putin instead? Because the assessment is grounded in reality. Unless the Europeans want to spend more than the already mandated 5% of GDP on defense budgets and pour more sophisticated weapons systems into Ukraine, then the conflict has no clear end in sight: “Do you wanna have an ongoing bleeding Stalingrad or Verdun … right on the borders of Europe,” asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Is Trying to Save Europe From Itself—and the EU Is Having None of It
The recently unveiled U.S. National Security Strategy has liberal heads turning over this one priority: "Promoting European Greatness." Europe’s problems cannot just be attributed to “insufficient military spending and economic stagnation.” The continent is facing “civilizational erasure” should it continue to embrace practices and transnational bodies that “undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence,” the Trump administration writes. The U.S.’ attitude in this report was not “you, Europe, should have done this.” It’s more like, “we should be brothers,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “You, Europe, is the foundation of the West. Greece. Rome. The Pope. The Renaissance. The Enlightenment. All of this majestic culture came from you. And we are an offshoot, an offspring of it. And we wanna partner with you. And we wanna be equals with you. So, please, can you just consider stopping the censorship, opening up discussion, and maybe reassessing your energy, your military, your immigration issues, and policies. And get back in the game with us in a 50/50 fashion.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Rules Out Eliminating H-1B Program Amid MAGA Calls
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said the law doesn't allow the Trump administration to eliminate H-1B visas.

Victor Davis Hanson: COVID-19-Era Grants Show How Identity Politics Can Shield Corruption
There’s a big discussion taking place in this country about immigration, and “one of the themes has been whether a person came legally or illegally,” and what their attitude toward the country they came to is. A U.S. federal attorney recently uncovered fraud occurring in Minnesota where fraudsters in the Somali community there stole billions of dollars from American taxpayers over a period of years, and the state government did nothing to stop it. “ There were a variety of state and local laws that were violated, but there were no prosecutions. Gov. Walz cannot explain why the feds had to step in and why he never even investigated this until the media and the Trump administration drew his attention to it. [Minnesota Attorney General] Keith Ellison allegedly has talked about expecting campaign contributions from the Somali community in some kind of quid pro quo fashion,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words:” 00:00 COVID-19 Fraud in Minnesota's Somali Community 01:01 Immigration and Gratitude Debate 04:07 Ilhan Omar's Controversial Actions 06:38 Financial Discrepancies and Allegations 07:48 Concluding Thoughts on Immigration and Gratitude 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: America Didn’t Provoke Japan—Here’s What Really Led to Pearl Harbor
In an era of World War II revisionism, it’s worth remembering what really led to Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago on Dec. 7, 1941. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the real context behind the attack, why Japan miscalculated so badly, the myths that still distort this history, and how Pearl Harbor became the beginning of Japan’s greatest strategic blunder on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Why did they attack? They said that they did not want to attack. They were in the process of negotiating a peace settlement. They said that we had cut off their oil exports. And we had because we had no other mechanism to convince them to get out of China, it was not their territory, to get out of Korea, to get out of Southeast Asia, and to not absorb the Dutch East Indies. “They had refused on all of those accounts and said, yet, we will find a peaceful solution, as they planned the attack. The attack happened at seven in the morning, deliberately, on a Sunday morning when people were either at church or still asleep from Saturday night partying. And they came out of the rising sun. Two waves. And they destroyed four battleships and injured, or just—I don't wanna say injured, they were inanimate objects. But they disabled four that sunk to the shallow bottom of Pearl Harbor.” (0:00) Pearl Harbor and Revisionism (0:14) Context Leading Up to Pearl Harbor (3:53) The Attack on Pearl Harbor (5:27) Aftermath and Misconceptions (7:38) Final Thoughts 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Real Unconstitutionality? Undermining the Commander in Chief
In a recent strike on a Venezuelan drug boat, the vessel “was not completely obliterated,” requiring the U.S. military to “finish the job” with a second hit. The Left instantly seized this as an opportunity to call it “an execution of prisoners,” saying that President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth—“or perhaps Pete Hegseth on his own had ordered”—to “kill them all.” Hanson breaks down the Left’s lies and the “Seditious Six’s” call to military members to “refuse illegal orders” on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “It's a deliberate effort by the Left to undermine the chain of command and ultimately, the commander in chief itself. And the irony is: All of these senators and representatives and the media are talking about unconstitutionality. What they're doing is unconstitutional.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: These Democrat Narratives Are a Lame Excuse For an Agenda
We’ve all heard the Democrat talking points ad nauseam—from the Epstein files to Obamacare, from Trump’s health and MRI to inflation, affordability, and Biden-era policies. But what’s the strategy behind focusing so heavily on their GOP opponents instead of the bigger picture? Victor Davis Hanson says it’s “just an excuse for the lack of a serious agenda”—and Democrat voters don’t seem to mind. Hanson breaks down these Democrat narratives and what it means for 2026 and beyond on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “Do they say, ‘Here's my alternate plan for immigration. I want one million, two million, three million illegal. I want to go back to the Biden [administration] , two million illegal aliens a year’? No, nothing. ‘Obamacare: Here's how we're going to solve it so we don't need subsidies.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Won’t the West Help Ukraine Win Against Russia?
Ukraine is back in the headlines as President Donald Trump puts forth new peace proposals to the international community. To make sense of where the conflict currently sits and what ending the war would entail, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the core questions behind the conflict: Why did Putin invade? Why does Russia keep fighting? Why won’t NATO fully support Ukraine? And what will it take to end the war? All on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “What is the dispute left about? Ukraine's not gonna be in NATO. Putin knows that. All it is, where is the DMZ? Does Putin get to push areas westward that Ukraine, Ukrainians are currently in and fighting successfully and he can't dislodge, or not? So, that's what we're gonna, that's what the dispute is over, and the security guarantees. “If Ukraine is not in NATO, how can it defend the next invasion from Russia? Well, it's the greatest military in Europe right now. It's battle-hardened. It's got a huge army. It's well supplied. Will that continue? Will the EU or NATO continue to arm it? Will the United States back them up in extremis?” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Virginia GOP Chairman Announces He Will Step Down
bonus“The Chair Recognizes” With November’s stinging election results not even a month behind the Virginia GOP, their chairman, State Sen. Mark Peake, announced that he will be stepping down. Peake told me that he’s leaving his post at the end of December because he wanted to make sure he could devote his full effort in the Virginia Senate to defeating the redistricting referendum before it needs a special election. He also said that the Republican Party requires a chairman who can devote a similar amount of energy to getting out the vote should it make it to a Spring special election, and beyond that, helping win whatever districts there will be come November’s midterms. Peake stepped in after longtime chair Rich Anderson earned a post as assistant secretary of the Air Force. Cameron Hamilton has announced that he wants the State Central Committee to consider him. Hamilton mounted a challenge for the GOP nomination in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District in 2024 and his wife Karen was just elected to Virginia’s House of Delegates from the 62nd District, succeeding the retired Nick Freitas. Some other frontrunners for the chairmanship include current chairs of Virginia’s 1st, 5th, and 6th congressional districts. They are Jeff Ryer, Rick Buchanan, and John Massoud respectively. Ryer has helped Rep. Rob Wittman win reelection in a very competitive district while even outperforming statewide and national Republicans. Buchanan led the 5th District through the tumultuous (and expensive) primary battle between challenger John McGuire and incumbent Rep. Bob Good. Buchanan also pulled the district together to deliver a 15% victory for McGuire in the general election. Massoud has helped Rep. Ben Cline build a strong base that supports him at a better-than-60% clip and has also managed to withstand out-of-state money attempting to flip Virginia House 34th District where incumbent Tony Wilt survived the 2025 “blue wave.” Would Loudon County GOP chair Scott Pio try again for the chairman position? He has been vocal on social media about the need for a change and called for Peake to step down in the wake of the Democrat sweep of the statewide races and a 14-seat “flip” in the house. He was a candidate for the position when Anderson departed and lost to Peake at the State Central Committee vote.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Want to Distract You From This Before Midterms
It’s common knowledge that good performance in midterm elections hinges on one key issue: the economy. The Left knows this, and it knows that Trump’s economy is not only doing better than last year at this time during the Biden administration, but it’s doing better than any time in history. Victor Davis Hanson explains the strategy behind the Democrats’ attempt to distract Americans from booming growth before the 2026 midterms on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “The economy is going to boom in 2026 and the Left knows that. So, what is their strategy? Don't talk about the Trump economy. And we've seen what? Go after Tesla. Firebomb Tesla dealerships. Drive Tesla off, automobiles off the road because Elon Musk was the prince of darkness and he was involved in DOGE. Demonize DOGE. Go after ICE. Have street theater. Have riots. Call them Gestapo. Say they're worse than Hitler. Go after the National Guard that has cleaned up Washington, D.C. Encourage massive resistance. Call it illegal. Shut down the government.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: America’s About To Have a ‘Rendezvous’ With Europe’s Immigration Disaster
“Yes, we are a nation of immigrants.* “*We're a nation of legal immigrants whose first mission upon arrival in America was to be a better American than a native-born American. And many millions were. I don't think that is the case now, and the fault is not just with the immigrant, it's with us,” argues Victor Davis Hanson, following a string of high-profile, immigrant-related crimes, such as the brutal shooting of two National Guardsmen blocks away from the White House and a billion-dollar fraud scheme amongst the Somali diaspora in Minneapolis, on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

The Daily Signal Presents "Problematic Women" - GIRL MATH: Shoppers Aren't Buying Trump Economy Panic
bonusAmericans have a glum view of the economy, but that is not expected to affect their consumer spending as holiday shopping kicks off. According to a recent Fox News survey, 76% of Americans have a negative view of the economy. At the end of President Joe Biden’s term, this number was 70%. Yet while Americans appear to be losing faith in the vitality of the U.S. economy, they don’t plan on slowing their own holiday shopping habits. The International Council of Shopping Centers reports that between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday, 235 million American adults are expected to spend $127 billion, for an average of $542 a person—a $13 increase from the average spent over the long holiday weekend last year. Millennials are projected to be the biggest spenders, with the International Council of Shopping Center estimating the generation born between 1981 and 1996 will drop an average of $764 a person during the five-day shopping period. So what’s the disconnect? Why do the same Americans who feel the economy is flooding appear to feel good enough about their personal bank account to go out and drop several hundred dollars in just a few days? Nicole Huyer, a senior research associate in The Heritage Foundation’s Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies, joins this week’s edition of “Problematic Women” to discuss. Also on today’s show, we discuss spending differences between men and women. Plus, will New York City-Mayor elect Zohran Mamdani actually be able to implement his socialist wish list in the Big Apple? And if he can, what will that mean not only for New York City’s economy, but the economic health of the nation.

Ep 2The Daily Signal Presents “The “Signal Sitdown - ‘Congress Is Irredeemable:’ Why I’m Running for South Carolina Governor | Rep. Ralph Norman
The 2026 midterms are shaping up to be one of the most consequential midterm elections in modern American history. In November 2024, the American people gave Republicans the trifecta—the White House, the Senate, and the House—a mandate victory that some conservatives did not think possible. Democrats were already expected to have the advantage heading into the 2026 midterms, but impressive Democrat wins in off-year elections just one year after their thorough electoral embarrassment has cemented the idea that Democrats are poised to make a comeback. As Republicans look to break a blue wave before it crests, Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., joins “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss the 2026 midterm elections and his bid to become the next governor of South Carolina. Norman is looking to leave Washington and head back to South Carolina because “Congress is irredeemable.” 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://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939 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.

'UNCONSCIONABLE': Christian Leader Condemns the 'Climate Colonialism' That Would Doom the Global South to Grinding Poverty
Climate alarmists don't just get the science wrong but also demonize the engine of wealth that has brought billions out of grinding poverty; and this "climate colonialism" is "morally unconscionable," a Christian leader says. "What I believe we're seeing in the demand from wealthy Western nations that we fight climate change by reducing our use of fossil fuels is that they are demanding that the poorest nations of the world forego the use of the most abundant, affordable, reliable energy sources that can lift them out of poverty and keep them out of poverty," E. Calvin Beisner, president of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, told The Daily Signal.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Strategic Case for Supporting Israel
Why does America support Israel? The answer isn’t rooted in theology or special-interest politics but is grounded in strategic national interest. Victor Davis Hanson explains how Israel’s status as the Middle East’s only stable democracy, its alignment with U.S. security priorities, and its role in countering Iran’s decades-long campaign of terror against Americans make it an essential ally on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." “ There's only one government that is truly a free democratic government, and that's Israel. So, it has affinities with the United States and interest with the United States that transcends anything to do with the 7 million Americans who are Jewish Americans. That's just a given. “They are not directing American policy. They couldn't unless Israel was democratic, consensual, Western, an outpost in a dangerous part of the world that has key resources for global prosperity with oil and, more importantly, is an enemy of our existential enemy that transcends any question of Israeli or Iranian animosity, and that's the theocratic government of Iran that began its existence by taking Americans hostage and storming our embassy.” (0:00) Introduction: Why the U.S. Supports Israel (1:39) The History of the U.S. and Israel (3:08) Iran: The Shared Threat (4:02) Strategic Alliances (4:40) Why Israel Is Unique in the Middle East (7:05) U.S. Interests: The Real Bottom Line (8:05) Final Thoughts 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
