Destruction of the Nuclear Family's Long-Term Risk

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation**

In a new March Madness-style series that will pair off “16 terrible issues” against each other, Hanson will act as the judge, ruling on the greatest existential threat to the United States.

In the first episode, Hanson decides whether the following are the biggest issues facing the United States in 2026:

China vs. rogue nukes

Fertility free fall vs. gain-of-function bioweapon pandemic

Massive debt vs. destruction of the nuclear family

Growth and spread of radical Islam vs. socialist/Democratic government

“I wish people listening would understand that the problem is not Donald Trump. The problem is that there are major forces in the world, Russia, but especially China and radical Islam, that want to destroy the United States. It's just that simple. And to the degree that we let down our guard or we lose deterrence, they'll try. And so it's very important that we be united and keep up.”
