Victor Davis Hanson joins John to discuss why conservative Never-Trumpers have abandoned a lifetime of advocacy to oppose the republican.

  • The original Never Trumpers were led by pundits like Max Boot, George Will, and Jennifer Rubin, each at the Washington Post, David Brooks and Bret Stephens at.

  • — NRO contributor Victor Davis Hanson is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author of The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was.
  • Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution; his focus is classics and military history.

    • To paraphrase mixed French 18th-century memorable quotations: after Biden, follows not the deluge, but now daring, and still more daring, and always more daring.

    He is without worry over another election, or a discredited and defanged media ("so doves do peck the falcon's piercing talons"), much less a third Nancy-Pelosi-contrived impeachment.

    Instead, he stalks indomitable, after failed de-balloting capers, failed lawfare vendettas, and failed two assassination attempts.

    To quote Shakespeare again, of his recent visit to Notre Dame and the once hostile Euro crowd who now mobbed him, "He doth bestride the narrow world /Like a Colossus, and we petty men /Walk under his huge legs and peep about /To find ourselves dishonorable graves".

     In sum, our weakest president is to be followed by our most audacious.
