At the United Nations, President Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin is “stalled” in Ukraine and called on NATO to cut off Russia’s oil and gas revenue. Trump, who once argued he could make a deal with Putin, now says the war has become a costly stalemate. As the war drags on, is Trump right that NATO can force Russia to the table? Victor Davis Hanson explains Trump’s evolving strategy, Ukraine’s military limits, and what a real path to peace could look like on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Donald Trump said something—so we don't know where that area to negotiate is. But it's somewhere. But then Donald Trump said, I think, wisely, he said: But we're going to make sure Ukraine doesn't lose. And then he said they can take, as I said, they can take back all the land. They can't. We saw the 2023 offensive. This is World War I. And all of the assets are on Russia's side. “They don't have the manpower. They don't have the wherewithal. What they do have are brilliant fighters, a sophisticated drone industry, that if they are entrenched and they can hold a line where they are and they can selectively hit oil refineries and munitions plants in Russia, in Western Russia, then they can make it so costly…that Russia will have to come to the bargaining table.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, there have been over 75,000 requests for new Turning Point USA chapters and many conservative commentators have written about his legacy and achievements, but what hasn’t been remarked about enough is, “What was the essence of his appeal to young voters?" asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” The answer? Charlie Kirk understood that young people, by their very nature, are rebellious. He wanted to take their natural skepticism and point it toward the establishment, which, today, is composed of the corporate media, higher ed, and baby boomers who never got over the 1960s and '70s. “So what was the secret to his success? I think what he did was quite brilliant. He understood that young people are, by nature, rebellious. They always, as—you're full of energy. They're full of hormones. They're full of ideas. They haven't lived a long time. And they question authority. That's innate to all of us at that age.

“But what he was trying to tell them was: Use that natural inquisitiveness, skepticism, maybe even rebelliousness, at the establishment. But you're mistaken. The establishment is not conservative. 

 “The establishment, as defined by the network news, PBS, NPR; as defined by higher education, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkeley, Stanford; as defined by the corporate boardroom at Budweiser or Target, or Disney; as defined by the popular culture, if you look—I could just direct you to the halftime show at the typical Super Bowl extravaganza. We could go on, but you get the message.”

“For far too long, previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust,” said FBI Director Kash Patel following the Justice Department’s charging of former FBI Director James Comeywith perjury and obstruction of Congress. Comey’s right-hand man, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, was not charged by the Department of Justice in 2020 after the DOJ’s inspector general found that he had “authorized an aideto talk with The Wall Street Journalabout the FBI's probe into the Clinton Foundation,” according to NPR. James Clapper lied to Congress about the nature and scope of the National Security Agency’sdomestic surveillance operations.

Former CIA Director John Brennan lied two times under oath to Congress. Until James Comey’s recent indictment, many of the individuals who played an integral role in weaponizing America’s intelligence and law enforcement agencies to target political enemies like Donald Trump got off scot-free, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”: 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Democrats have failed the test of basic human empathy once again, from spreading falsehoods about who Charlie Kirk was to speaking ill of the dead. With 118 Democrat House members refusing to honor Kirk's life, their response to his assassination has exposed their true colors. On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson examines the reactions of key Democrat figures—Reps. Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett—following this tragic event. “ The House has a tradition, when major figures—political or in the media or in the popular culture—are gunned down, to express empathy. One of the more horrific things that happened, recently, was in Minnesota, when the speaker of the Minnesota Legislature and her husband were gunned down by a—he was a private citizen, angry over abortion. … Every single Republican went on record saying this is atrocious, that a gunman shot these very liberal, Democratic legislators in the state of liberal Minnesota. “ So, all people were trying to do after the death of Charlie Kirk, Representative Crockett, Representative Omar, Representative Ocasio-Cortez, just show a little sympathy, just put away the politics. And you failed that basic human test.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

There is no margin of error for the success of American society. On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson explains the phenomenon known as a “total systems collapse,” in which a society metaphorically implodes when it casts aside values like common sense and meritocracy and replaces them with diversity, equity, and inclusion as the base for society. “  We are a very sophisticated society. We require meritocracy, empiricism, credentials. And we have very sophisticated transportation, education, health care, etc., etc. And if we don't follow the norms that gave us that prosperity, security, and freedom, then the system starts to break down. And we've seen the indices of that. “ We saw that same systems collapse with the tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska. And everything went wrong. ... She came in there and there were four people around her, including the assailant. He killed her. But what kind of society is it where the four people adjacent, behind her just walk by her—watch the killer commit this horrific act of cutting her throat. And then after he leaves and he mutters, “Got the white girl,” then they don't do anything. They didn't do anything to stop it. They didn't do anything, just to walk a few feet over, a foot over, and try to help her in her death throes. What ideology is that that allows that to happen?" 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: In America, We Find Every Possible Way To ‘Contextualize’ Evil In the past few months, American communities have been rocked by the horrific slaying of innocent individuals like youth Conservative pioneer Charlie Kirk and Ukraine refugee Iryna Zarutska. Instead of giving people the time and space to grieve, some on the Left “find every possible way to contextualize or excuse evil and the victimizer,” creating a king of “upside down morality,” argues Victor Davis Hanson. The only thing to focus on in an attack is that the person did it, and it doesn’t matter if they’re homeless, trans, or a minority.

Decarlos Brown Jr. Robin Westman. Audrey Hale. These are just a few names of killers that the Left rushed to defend while ignoring their victims. On today's episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words," Hanson discusses the growingtrend of "upside-down morality," in which the Left and the media downplay violent crime, hide key facts, distort the narrative, and prioritize "understanding" criminals rather than defending the innocent. How does society reverse course on this dangerous rhetoric? “When Iryna [Zarutska] was killed on the light rail, there were three people right across the aisle. And when they saw her collapse and she was looking at—looking at the ceiling, thinking, ‘I’m dying because a man just killed me for no reason. No one is helping me,’ they each got up, solitarily walked right by her in her last gasp—did not offer a tourniquet, did not offer to help, did not call anybody. I don't know why they did that. “Maybe they thought if they did something like Daniel Penny and tried to intervene and save a life that they might be prosecuted or they might, who knows, or they were cowardly. But it's the same idea that we don't have any empathy for the victim, and if the victim doesn't fit a particular status that we call victim, the real victim of a physical act of violence or murder or assault, but if they don't fit a particular rubric as a victim that is based on their sexual orientation or their homeless status or their race, that we don't really care about them.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

'I Hope Middle America Gets Introduced To Her': Victor Davis Hanson Explains What Happens If AOC Gets Nominated

Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian refugee, was not violently stabbed to death on a Charlotte light rail because she lacked “situational awareness.” We were told by many on the Left that we couldn’t blame the three to four bystanders who didn’t jump to her aid because it was only rational for them to worry about their own personal safety. As Americans, it is our duty to uphold the rule of law. Citizens and visitors to the U.S. should always expect a high degree of safety, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” We in America are unwilling to recognize the unconformable truth that  "we have a crime problem in the United States in the African-American inner city. Not in rural African-American communities. Not in African-American women. Not necessarily in African-American men over 40 or 50. But from 15 to 40, that demographic comprises about 3% of the country, and they're committing about 50% of the violent crimes, as we saw with Iryna. And yet, we didn't talk about it.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
