Prices are still too high for many Americans. Combine that with the usual historical trend for the House to flip parties two years after a Presidential election and November could be grim for Republicans.
But could a projected SIX PERCENT economic growth for 2026 save the midterms? Here’s a new The Right Angle, with Scott Ott leading the discussion, joined by his colleagues Steve Green and Bill Whittle.
In this video, Victor Davis Hanson exposes the left’s contradictions in their attacks on Donald Trump and his trade policies. Hanson dives deep into how progressive critics consistently misrepresent Trump’s use of tariffs, portraying them as reckless or harmful without acknowledging their strategic purpose.
He argues that the left’s opposition isn’t based on economic facts, but on a broader ideological rejection of Trump’s America-first agenda. From renegotiating trade deals to holding China accountable, Hanson highlights how Trump’s tariff strategy was a deliberate effort to restore fairness and protect American industry—something past administrations failed to address.
Meanwhile, the same critics who decried Trump’s tactics often supported similar measures under different presidents, revealing a clear double standard. Hanson contends that Trump’s presidency didn’t just disrupt global trade norms. It exposed how deeply entrenched and emotionally charged the left’s narrative has become.
Ultimately, this video unpacks how Trump’s unorthodox methods—and the left’s fierce reaction to them—shine a light on the deeper political and cultural divide in America. Here’s more from Inner Vision.

No so, says Chappell. “Here’s where the Chinese low-crime wonder story runs into a little roadblock called reality,” he says. He says the growth numbers might look good on the surface if you believe them, but the economy is in deep trouble. Here’s his report.
The positive relationship between energy and economic growth is clear: income and energy consumption are tightly correlated on every continent and across every time period for which data exists. Nowhere in the world is there a wealthy country that consumes only a little energy, nor a poor country that consumes a lot. Here’s more from Chris Martenson on Peak Prosperity.
