(DCNF)—Hoover Institute Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Wednesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are the two people he believes are “articulating” the Trump administration’s “counterrevolution.”
Both Rubio and Bessent have been key players in President Donald Trump’s second term agenda. Appearing on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Hanson said Rubio and Bessent have impressed him.
“When you look at who is really articulating this counterrevolution, it is Scott Bessent in economics and Marco Rubio in State,” Hanson said. “Without those two guys, I think they’d be in trouble because they have a reassuring, calm [demeanor], but they’re very tough, and they don’t back down, and they’re not afraid of controversy. When you sent Rubio down to Panama, after all the media was going crazy [saying] ‘We’re going to invade Panama,’ and he went down there, and he just solved the problem. [He] soothed everything over, but he did not back down.”
“I do think they have so many balls in the air,” Hanson added. “They’ve got the Ukraine war. They’ve got the Iranian nuclear negotiations. They’ve got the hostages with Hamas. I think they need to — I know that [Steve] Witkoff is a special envoy, but no special [envoy] can be doing all of that. It would be very wise, I think, if all of that was bundled back into the State Department and Rubio himself.”
While testifying before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Tuesday, Rubio snapped back on Democrat Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen after the lawmaker accused Rubio of denying illegal migrant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia due process.
The exchange between the two got heated after Van Hollen told Rubio that he “regrets” voting him in for secretary of state. Rubio heard Van Hollen’s words and took them to mean that Rubio is “doing a good job.”
Hanson went on to call Rubio one of the “most powerful” secretaries of state.
“Let Rubio pick the special envoys and operate. Just outsource this, because he’s very competent, and he’s on the same page with Trump,” Hanson said. “I think the American people feel that when he is conducting 100 percent of our foreign policy, to the degree that it’s delegated by the president, it’s reassuring. And he doesn’t make slips or gaffes.”
“I understand he’s probably the most powerful secretary of state, given the national security portfolio that we’ve had, in a long time,” Hanson said. “But I wish that these major negotiations — and there’s three or four of them that got global and historical importance — that he was the point man on it. I think that would be wise.”
Bessent has also pushed back against critics. During a House Financial Services Committee hearing on May 7, the Treasury secretary shut down Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters. Waters, referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, accused Bessent of enabling “strangers” to access his department’s data.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.

Vic Hanson is a double talking RINO classics professor. He works for a RINO think tank now.
He of course picks the biggest RINO in Trump’s staff, Rubio, as his favorite.
Rubio is unacceptable, he championed the amnesty bill of 2013, after campaigning against it. He’s another double talking backstabber.
Vic Hanson is a stupid babbler.
