  Victor Davis Hanson makes his return to the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner. Victor's latest book, "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement." Get Counterrrevolution on Amazon at amzn.to/4d9uStf droped on 8SEP2026. Joining Victor and Pete is USC President Emeritus Max Nikias. Max and Victor are longtime friends. What makes this episode unique beyond Victor's brilliant mind is Max sitting in as the primary host on the episode. Rather than a political book celebrating Donald Trump, VDH's work is a history and accounting of what happened, and how Pres Trump fell, then returned to power. From his nadir post January 6, including his long legal battles, to his historic rise featuring a series of unprecedented events. A few of the improbable things that led to Pres Trump's re-election. He survived being shot during an assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. He became the first Republican in decades to win the popular vote. Trump shutting out incumbant VP and 2024 Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris in all the key swing states. This unlikely collection of events culminated in just the 2nd perforated presidency in US political history following Grover Cleveland's equally improbable phoenixing return to the presidency. Victor Davis Hanson is a Senior Fellow at The Hoover Institution. USC President Emeritus Max Nikias is the author of "American Trojan," available now on Amazon at amzn.to/4A34yuN Thanks to Brad Hutchings for the work on the graphic
