Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words
Victor Davis Hanson: Is Britain Experiencing Its Right-Wing George Floyd Moment?
Victor Davis Hanson covers the stalled Iran negotiations on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” argues that Iran is delaying while proxies attack and that the U.S. should issue firm demands and, if unmet, use decisive military pressure to restore deterrence. Victor and Jack Fowler react to the Henry Nowak killing in England, focusing on bodycam footage showing police handcuffing the dying victim after accepting the killer’s racism claim, and Hanson frames it as “two-tier” DEI policing contrasted with the George Floyd case and aftermath. The conversation broadens to backlash...

Victor Davis Hanson: The Modern Left Wants Control More Than Accountability
America’s political and cultural institutions are becoming increasingly centralized, ideological, and disconnected from ordinary citizens. Media organizations, universities, government agencies, and political elites continue accusing opponents of authoritarianism while expanding their own influence over public life, speech, and information. This phenomenon helps explain California’s political decline, the growing distrust in elite institutions, the use of “fascism” as a political weapon, and why more Americans feel the system is no longer accountable to the people it governs. Questions surrounding healthcare, welfare spending, lawfare, media control, and one party dominance all point back to a broader struggle over pow...

Victor Davis Hanson: Tulsi Gabbard’s Legacy in Review
Former Democrat turned Trump’s director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, announced her resignation last week, citing her husband’s ongoing battle with bone cancer. While her time in office was marked by some big America First wins, like declassifications of the Russia collusion hoax documents, it was only a matter of time before Gabbard was brought into the debate brewing over the administration’s ongoing conflict with Iran, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” WHERE TO WATCH: 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest e...

Victor Davis Hanson on What Holds Nations Together This Memorial Day
Political dysfunction in California, the collapse of communist regimes, the meaning of Memorial Day, and the importance of the citizen soldier all point back to the same question: what happens when leaders become detached from the people they govern? Cuba remains impoverished decades after revolution while political elites continue to prosper. California continues to struggle with homelessness, public disorder, and governance questions while national ambitions grow among its leadership. At the same time, debates over fairness, political incentives, and institutional trust continue to reshape public life. Memorial Day serves as a reminder that...

Victor Davis Hanson: It’s ‘Do or Die’ for America in Iran Right Now
The Arab nations, most namely Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, want the United States to destroy the Iranian regime—they’re just not willing to both say it out loud, and do it themselves, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” WHERE TO WATCH: 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest editions of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

The narrative that America is in terminal decline while China is an unstoppable juggernaut is a completely historically illiterate trope. Donald Trump has structural, economic, and geopolitical levers that Beijing simply cannot match if the administration chooses to enforce true parity. By reclaiming American energy dominance and taking a decisive stand in the Straits of Hormuz, the administration is poised to secure a booming economy just in time for the midterms.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why $29 Billion for Iran War Is a ‘Bargain,’ but Only if It Works
Given that we spent over a trillion dollars in Iraq and maybe more in Afghanistan, and Joe Biden left $50 billion in equipment in the latter, the idea that you would spend less than $30 billion and have a chance to overthrow the worst government in the world—one that’s caused most of the problems we’ve had in the Middle East—is a bargain, if it works, and I think it will, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” ALSO:Victor Davis Hanson and host Sami Winc preview Donald Trump’s...

The Untold Story of the Declaration of Independence | Victor Davis Hanson
It’s a miracle the Declaration survived 250 years. It was rolled through battlefields during the Revolutionary War, nearly destroyed when the British burned Washington in 1814, and spent decades being moved from city to city before becoming America’s most treasured national document. Today's conversation with Michael Auslin, author of National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America," explores not only the remarkable survival story of the Declaration itself, but also the ongoing battle over what it actually means.

From the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on racial gerrymandering to rising tensions with Iran and the broader cultural and political shifts happening across the country, Victor Davis Hanson argues the United States is in the middle of a major transition. “We’re not just dealing with policy disagreements. We’re dealing with a fundamental transformation of the country.” He also points to growing instability abroad and what it means for America’s role on the world stage. “We had operational success, but we didn’t follow through strategically. That leaves Iran weakened, but not finished.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Secret Service Needs to Prioritize Marksmanship, Not DEI, Moving Forward
I don't know if it's DEI or what, but why doesn’t the U.S. Secret Service emphasize shooting ability all the time? It seemed like the old guard—the old breed in the 1960s—were pretty good about that. My premise is this: They're in a unique situation in that they have a president that has now been the target of three attempted assassinations in which shots were fired one way or the other.

CNN and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes are of the opinion that President Donald Trump, who has chosen the sword over the pen, will get a far worse deal out of the mullahs in Iran than his predecessor, Barack Obama. What did Iran get out of its deal with Obama, you might ask? For 10 years, Iran was sanctions-free, making $500 million a day in petrochemical sales. Thanks to figures like Ben Rhodes, it was like a “bonanza for the Houthis, Hamas, the people in Syria and Iraq that are their proxies, and, of course, He...

He joined Jack Fowler on this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” to discuss the issue. “Several years ago, I led a book study for some of our interns. … We read ‘The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism’ by Michael Novak, a wonderful book … expla...

And I don’t think that [Donald] Trump will pardon [Ghislaine] Maxwell. I think she’s going to sit there [prison] the rest of her life.” Additio...

Bad Bunny Super Bowl Spectacle Was a ‘Crutch for the Lack of Talent,’ Says Victor Davis Hanson
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance this past Sunday has the country split on whether or not it presented a message of unity or division. And the decision to hand him the stage traces back to an unexpected source: a close ally of Barack Obama. That’s right. Few fans realize that rapper Jay-Z has been quietly steering the Super Bowl’s halftime lineup for the past several years. According to Victor Davis Hanson, one thing is certain: when Jay-Z is in charge, viewers can expect “an elaborate set with shooting lights and all kind...
