In this weekend episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc examine the rhetoric between Trump and Zelensky, the historical precedents to the Ukraine war, the building of the Panama Canal and its legacy, Hegseth’s cuts, Patel’s confirmation, and Jasmine Crockett’s “wisdom.”

Panama canal only has about 32-38 ships per day.
Very much enjoy your knowledge and opinions but I remember watching Fox and Ms. Faulkner interviewing Newt Gengrich a few years back when Newt wanted to talk about George Soros and his money funding left leaning causes and Harris would not allow the discussion of Soros, haven’t watched Fox since unless I can find a video of you!
Thank you Victor! Your explanation of the Ukrainian mess the biden surrogates generated and President Trump’s difficult job in navigating the mine field that has developed there was beautifully done. I particularly liked your accurate portrayal of the history behind Trump’s venom towards Zelenski’s misguided attacks on Trump’s comments. The American people respect and appreciate your hard work and commitment to the safety and success of our great country!
Your comments on Ukraine seemed to be the worst kind of realpolitik, with its casual dismissal of Ukraine’s right to survive intact, as well as providing cover for Putin’s continued expansionist aims. The reality in Europe is that Putin poses a threat to the existing order with his apparent intention to impose the Russkiy Mir on neighboring states. Sweden and Finland, traditionally non-aligned states, have joined NATO because of Putin’s ambition to reimpose something akin to the old Soviet Union. Putin’s iron hand in Russia-assassinating opponents, jailing Navalny and any anti-war protest, making common cause with our geopolitical adversaries, and invading Ukraine despite Ukraine being given assurances for its security when it relinquished its nuclear arsenal is the source of European anxiety. Imposing peace on Ukraine is not a solution to those anxieties it is rather a sop to Russia that its aggression has reaped territorial rewards. It is for the Ukrainians to decide whether continuing the war is feasible and, if necessary, to have an election to determine who will run their government. I hope that the Europeans, unlike you, will see that their vital interests are at stake and that they must provide for Ukraine’s defense, which does not require a single American or European boot on the ground to confront Russian ambitions in Eastern Europe.
Could President Trump have declassified all documents that contained evidence of the deep state’s mistreatment of him before leaving the White House so that he would avoid a dispute of ownership with the archivists?
Or are there certain documents that a president is not entitled to possess even if declassified for his own possession?
How is it that possession of documents is determined since Barrak Obama and Joe Biden had documents as well?
Saddam killed half a million Iranians. Sure he didn’t beat them, but that’s not exactly a paper tiger, especially considering the US military’s last war was Vietnam. Standing up to Saddam did take Bush some guts.
Perhaps one of Hanson’s most brilliant podcasts ever!
Thank You VDH.
Love to listen to Professor Hanson, keep up the good work, I try to listen daily on the Daily Signal!
