'You've Got to Fight': Reagan Veteran Praises Trump's War on the Deep State Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

Don Devine is proud that The Washington Post once attacked him as President Ronald Reagan's "terrible swift sword of the civil service," but even he is blown away by the muscular reforms of the Trump administration.

That doesn't stop him from giving advice on how to slay the deep state leviathan, however. Devine, who served as the second director of the Office of Personnel Management under Reagan from 1981 to 1985, warned that public-sector unions will always oppose efforts to bring the administrative state to heel, so any conservative will have to take on these issues with steely resolve.

"They're going to be fighting you no matter what you do," Devine told The Daily Signal.

"The unions in the government, which shouldn't even be there ... The unions, that's their job, all right? If you do anything, they're going to go to the courts after you."

"So, what's the answer? You got to do it anyway, you got to fight them," he explained. Public-sector unions, who represent federal government employees, have filed multiple lawsuits to block Trump's reforms on everything from DOGE getting access to federal data to the firing of probationary employees to the removal of collective bargaining privileges.

Trump has just the stomach to face this threat, however, Devine said.

Victor Davis Hanson: Donald Trump’s Trade Parity ‘Golden Age’ Explained Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

Adversaries and allies alike have been ripping off the United States with “asymmetrical tariffs” for decades. Now, Trump is fighting back.

“Whatever a particular country tariffs us, we reciprocate and just mirror image them. In other words, it’s their choice, not ours,” VDH says.

On this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson explains the history behind tariffs and how other countries have taken advantage of America’s no-tariff policy for years.

“It was all predicated in the postwar period. We were so affluent, so powerful—Europe, China, Russia were in shambles—that we had to take up the burdens of reviving the economy by taking great trade deficits,” Victor Davis Hanson says.

We can’t afford to remain neutral in the trade war that’s been happening for decades.

“If tariffs are so destructive of their economies, why is China booming?” Victor Davis Hanson asks.

Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Inexplicable’ Invasion on Our Southern Border Apr 03, 2025

Show notes

Say hello to your new neighbors—12 million of them.

Under the Biden Administration, illegal border crossings jumped to record numbers. Yet within 8 weeks of President Trump assuming office, border crossings plunged to the lowest in decades.

On this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” VDH breaks down the step-by-step invasion on our southern border that was intricately planned and encouraged by Democrats.

“Never in the history of the United States, within four years, did the government, by intent, destroy the border, and welcome in 12 million people.”

Meanwhile, Americans needed proof of vaccination or faced being fired from their jobs.

“I suppose they thought that maybe people who were coming in without English, without high school diplomas, for the most part, without capital, and without skills would be dependent on federal charges.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Strategy to Trump China on the World Stage Apr 02, 2025

Show notes

“ China is ascendant and we are static.”

President Donald Trump is right to be worried about China’s trade surplus, military expansion, influence in regions like Panama and the Arctic, and the broader global impact of its rise. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the reasons why Trump has made maintaining dominance over China a central issue for his administration on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“He’s worried that China is intimidating countries in the Pacific and in Asia. Some of our strongest friends—Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam. Saying things like, "The United States is in decline. You better cut a deal.

“ We don’t look at productivity in stocks but whether they’re politically correct or DEI and woke… The Chinese love it. We will not be competitive.”

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Couldn’t Throw Trump in Jail. Marine Le Pen Wasn’t So Lucky Apr 01, 2025

Show notes

Is Europe really the “stalwart” of democracy?

While the radical Left in America failed to imprison President Donald Trump, their Europeans counterparts are having a successful time prosecuting their political enemies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

“Europe is copying the lawfare of the United States. Remember that Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith, and E. Jean Carroll, in civil and criminal suits, for four years tried to destroy Donald Trump. And they had over $400 million in fines that were leveled at one point. And there were 91 felony indictments…

“Ms. Le Pen, the head of the most conservative party in France, who has got enormous momentum. Enormous momentum, because, of the violence of radical Islamic groups, inside France. The open borders, the dissatisfaction with the blank check, given Ukraine, etc., I could go on and on…

“[The high court] said that she had expropriate funds, campaign funds. In other words, that she was blending—does this sounds familiar—blending her own campaign with funds allotted from the European Union, for other purposes. In other words, there was a difference—a distinction without a difference.

“In other words, they only applied this law to her because they were terrified she was going to win, in the next presidential election.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Pfizer Bombshell Puts 2020 Election Results Into Question Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the recent development on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“ Pfizer, for months, had said the results of their early testing of the efficacy and the safety of the Pfizer spike protein anti-COVID vaccine was known. … And they delayed it. Why did they delay it?

“ The news of the vaccination was deliberately manipulated and delayed so it would not give credit to Donald Trump before the final 30% or 40% of the ballots were cast.

“The problem was that we radically changed the voting laws. … We manipulated the news. And now we learn that even pharmaceutical companies were massaging the results of their test to hurt Donald Trump's chances in the 2020 election.”
