Susan Rice, former U.N. ambassador and national security advisor under Obama, made some very threatening statements directed toward Republicans and business elites on a recent podcast episode. On “Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara,” Rice said she wanted Trump supporters to know that the Left won’t forget if they’ve allowed Donald Trump “to bully” them in their respective academic, corporate, or institutional worlds. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Rice’s comments on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” and explains why nothing she, and her fellow Democrats, say can hurt the U.S. president and his supporters at this point. “Your entire career of the Democratic Party—your career, Hillary Clinton's career, Barack Obama—has been to destroy Donald Trump. So we don't need lectures on retribution. You've already tried to practice retribution against Trump. And I don't think you're going to be in a position of power necessarily in the Congress in 2026, and I have a pretty good idea you won't come back to power in 2028.”

Video Summary
Victor Davis Hanson discusses remarks made by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice on a recent podcast episode. Speaking on "Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara," Rice issued warnings directed at Republicans and business elites, suggesting that the political Left would not forget perceived bullying within academic, corporate, or institutional spheres if Donald Trump were allowed to continue his actions. Hanson analyzes these comments in an episode of his series, arguing that such threats from Democrats hold little impact on the current U.S. president and his supporters. He notes that Rice's career, along with those of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, has been defined by efforts to undermine Trump. Consequently, she does not require further lectures regarding retribution, as previous attempts have already occurred. Hanson expresses skepticism about Democratic prospects for regaining power in Congress by 2026 or returning to the presidency by 2028. The discussion highlights a divergence between current political rhetoric and future electoral realities. This overview is based on the provided description from The Daily Signal, which presents Hanson's breakdown of the situation without inventing specific quotes or events beyond what was supplied.
