Victor Davis Hanson: "This Changes Everything... and Not in a Good Way!"

Victor Davis Hanson: “Europe Is Bluffing. And the Left Has No Idea What They’ve Started.”

Victor Davis Hanson doesn’t hold back in this sweeping, razor-sharp critique of today’s geopolitical fantasy and domestic legal warfare. In this wide-ranging monologue, Hanson calls out Europe’s empty bravado on Ukraine — mocking the illusion that 50,000 troops and a few speeches can replace the hard power of the United States. He lays bare the harsh truth: Europe needs America more than it will ever admit.

But that’s just the start.

Turning to the United States, Hanson dissects the myth that MAGA lives and dies with Donald Trump. He explains why the populist-nationalist movement is no longer just a personality cult — it’s an institutional force, outpacing Trump himself in polls and winning over working-class voters of every race. From Reagan to the Tea Party to Trump, Hanson shows how America’s political tectonics have already shifted — and elites are only just waking up to what that means.

He also issues a dire warning: the left’s obsession with “lawfare” may backfire catastrophically. Hanson exposes the staggering hypocrisy of legal elites who stayed silent as Biden bulldozed immigration law — but now cry foul as Trump vows to enforce it. With activist judges running rogue, and conservative legal circles defecting into the arms of progressive lawfare, Hanson sees a judiciary on the verge of collapse.

This is a masterclass in political clarity — a scathing assessment of our institutions, leaders, and the dangerous double standards threatening to undo the republic. Whether it's Europe’s security delusions or America's judicial rot, Victor Davis Hanson cuts through the noise like few others.
