Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

Victor Davis Hanson and host Jack Fowler discuss President Trump’s profane Easter warning to Iran and frame it as a “Nixon madman” bad-cop/good-cop strategy involving JD Vance, while contrasting Trump’s decisive military rescue efforts with past administrations’ failures. They examine the California high-speed rail project as a costly “train to nowhere,” citing billions spent without laying track, eminent domain damage to farmland, and doubts about long-term profitability, alongside broader claims of massive fraud in California programs. 

The episode also covers reports of China-linked unauthorized bio labs in Nevada and California, arguing U.S. security and immigration enforcement are dangerously lax. They discuss paid, organized protest operations, student-loan nonpayment incentives, and Trump’s executive order to verify citizenship and strengthen federal election integrity, including voter rolls and mail-ballot safeguards.

Victor Davis Hanson and host Jack Fowler discuss why several NATO allies—especially France—restricted the United States from using bases and airspace during operations aimed at Iran, arguing Europe benefits from U.S. security while pursuing divergent domestic and foreign-policy agendas.

Hanson urges the Trump administration to frame NATO burden-sharing and reciprocity in “sorrowful” terms, consider tighter bilateral ties with supportive allies, and better explain the difficulty and aims of the Iran campaign, including deterrence and possible conditions for regime change while clarifying U.S.-Israel alignment.

They also address tensions with Canada over defense spending and policies, the scale of alleged fraud in California programs highlighted by City Journal reporting, and Democrats’ attempts to rebrand figures like Pete Buttigieg to win back white working-class voters.

Is this America’s fight—or another case of allies sitting on the sidelines? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down President Trump’s Iran address, exposing the growing divide between U.S. leadership and Europe’s reluctance to act. From Reagan’s unwavering support of allies to today’s NATO double standards, the contrast couldn’t be clearer.

Plus, Hanson dives into the Supreme Court’s looming birthright citizenship case—questioning whether the 14th Amendment is being stretched far beyond its original intent and what that could mean for America’s future.

Last week, Israel denied access to Bethlehem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the holiest sites in the Christian faith, on Palm Sunday, citing security concerns amid the conflict with Iran. Many expressed outrage. Nearly all ignored the risk, Victor Davis Hanson argued on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Other topics include:

• “No Kings” protests that attack elected presidents such as Donald Trump while defending unelected bureaucrats, against the backdrop of confrontations with largely nonwhite ICE agents by affluent white liberals.

• Anti-Christian legal actions in Canada and Finland.

• A Stanford student’s testimony about alleged Chinese Communist Party transnational repression, along with broader ties between China and U.S. college campuses.

President Donald Trump has Democrats between a rock and a hard place.

The only way they can win popular support in their ongoing feud with Republicans over funding for the Department of Homeland Security is to protest ICE.

That means going where ICE is: The airports.

Picture this: Your run of the mill leftwing protester screaming into a microphone, making an already unpleasant flight experience worse while immigration agents smile and hand out water to passengers waiting in line.These are the cards Democrats have been delt.

Victor Davis Hanson, and his co-host Sami Winc, also discuss how/why elected Democrat leaders embrace illegal aliens over their own citizens, as well as the delicate balancing act Trump needs to play if he’s to reopen the Straits of Hormuz on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc discuss the killing of Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University, in Chicago and criticize Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s sanctuary-state stance, delayed response, and reluctance to cooperate with ICE, arguing Democrats downplay victims and shift blame to Trump while crime rises amid gun restrictions.

The tragic shooting of a Loyola University freshman last week highlighted Chicago’s serious need for ICE to remove illegal immigrants from its streets.

By making Chicago a sanctuary city, Gov. JB Pritzker can’t blame President Trump for the tragedy, especially when Trump has continually offered to help make the city safer by deploying the National Guard there, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Joe Kent honorably served the United States during his 11 deployments to combat zones in the Middle East.

Now, however, he has betrayed President Trump, the man who helped him have a political career as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center after two failed congressional campaigns, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“He [Kent] wrote and said not only did he feel that the MAGA movement… was not being followed, but it was following Israel… So he bought right into ‘the Jews did it.’ And at that moment, a whole new world opened up for him. And he thinks that's quite a big world on the Right. It isn’t.”

In this Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson argues Iran is unlikely to strike the U.S. homeland with drones but could use proxies or influenced naturalized citizens, while discussing Trump’s potential escalation options in the region and Europe’s reluctance to help despite benefiting from reduced Iranian power.

The discussion then centers on Washington’s fight over a DHS-related shutdown: Hanson claims Democrats are using DHS as a pretext while aiming to damage the economy by disrupting airport security and broader DHS operations, forcing Trump to negotiate, and avoiding any discussion of ICE because parts of the party oppose deportations. 

He also criticizes Democrat leaders for lacking a governing agenda beyond opposition to Trump and notes debates over voter ID legislation and threats of future prosecutions from figures like Susan Rice.

Hanson reacts to an Al Jazeera column claiming the U.S.-Israel strategy is systematically degrading Iran’s key assets, suggesting Gulf states back the campaign out of fear Iran will hit their economies. 

He then examines an NBC News poll showing Israel’s standing has fallen sharply among Democrats and warns Jewish national candidates face a hostile party climate. Hanson also links corporate flight from blue states to high taxes and governance failures, criticizes Canada’s policies, and argues weak assimilation and DEI incentives fuel anti-Americanism and criminal impunity among some immigrants and activists.

The legacy media continues to downplay recent bombing attempts and other violent incidents tied to illegal immigrants, arguing “Islamophobia” is overstated while antisemitism rises.Victor Davis Hanson, co-host of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” criticizes the 1965 immigration shift toward family-based entry, says the Left excuses illegality and anti-Americanism, and connects these trends to tribal politics. 

Victor and Jack mock a proposed “supergroup” of radical big-city Democrat mayors (New York, Chicago, Boston, Oakland, Seattle, Los Angeles) amid crime, taxes, and dysfunction.

Victors condemns the UK replacing Churchill on currency, defends Churchill’s wartime leadership, comments on Carrie Prejean Boller’s anti-Zionism controversy, and praises Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Restoring the West” initiative.

“There's an impression that if you're an immigrant and you come from a hostile country, that you will come over here and we will ask nothing of you. We won't even ask you to be legal, and we won't ask you to obey our laws. “And if you act like a victim or you use violence against the state, there will be people in the United States on the left that either will contextualize or excuse your criminality, or if you're not a criminal, but you're just simply anti-American, they will laud it and think you're a member of the DEI greater brotherhood. 

“Yeah. And we've gotta stop it, because it's getting dangerous.”

Iran’s “chaos strategy” consists of threatening the Strait of Hormuz and striking regional targets, weighing U.S. and Israeli escalation options amid Donald Trump’s political constraints before the midterms and concerns over oil markets, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

The episode also addresses controversy over a girls’ school allegedly struck near a military base, noting uncertainty over responsibility and the likelihood of collateral damage from dispersed Iranian military sites.

Hanson then turns to Cuba as a sophisticated exporter of revolutionary influence and suggests pressure without invasion.

He analyzes Trump’s use of Rubio versus Vance as “good cop” dynamics and criticizes California efforts to revive racial preferences, gerrymandering, and a high school transgender track controversy.

Nikias recounts studying engineering in Athens during Greece’s military dictatorship and witnessing the 1973 Polytechnic uprising, then returning home as Cyprus was invaded by Turkey in 1974, displacing his family. 

He describes arriving in America with $1,500, earning a SUNY Buffalo scholarship, navigating H-1B and citizenship standards, and building a career in engineering and classified U.S. Navy work.

University of Texas at Austin professor and moral philosopher Prof. J. Budziszewski discusses his new book, “The Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy,” which examines 30 modern delusions and why they spread on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” ft. guest host Jack Fowler.

He argues today’s irrationality is motivated, often contains a grain of truth, and metastasizes as one false premise leads to others, with social media acting as a force multiplier.

The conversation covers relativism, abortion premises leading to infanticide arguments, radical individualism sliding toward authoritarianism, and debates over sex differences and the claim that men can be women.

Many Americans are wary of U.S. boots on the ground in the Middle East after the Afghanistan and Iraq wars that became "endless."

President Trump’s comment about possible “boots on the ground” is likely just “Art of the Deal” rhetoric, explains Victor Davis Hanson in today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 

“I think his point was that you’re never going to tell the enemy what you’re going to do.”

China has created “the operating system for the globalized economy,” putting other countries at its mercy.

Chris O’Dea, an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute, explains how China has built strategic influence through commercial shipping networks, ports, and infrastructure, potentially giving it a significant geopolitical boost over both the U.S. and the entire global economy.

“China really has embargo power, and not just to one country or one product line, but they have the ability to say OK to an entire shipping line… They have to play ball with China because they need to get to China and Chinese ports.”

Pennsylvania is “tied to the American story.” It’s the state that gave power to both the first and second industrial revolutions, saved the union at Gettysburg, and hosted the Constitutional convention.

In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” guest host Jack Fowler speaks with Andrew Lewis, Iraq war veteran and president of the Commonwealth Foundation, about why Pennsylvania matters nationally and how state-based think tanks turn free-market ideas into laws.

Lewis highlights Pennsylvania’s historic role, its position atop the Marcellus and Utica Shale, and the opportunities from being a major electricity exporter, while warning that renewable mandates can threaten grid reliability and affordability, citing New York’s higher costs and Spain’s blackout.

He critiques Governor Josh Shapiro’s “Lightning” plan to raise renewable requirements and discusses Commonwealth’s policy focus areas, including energy, taxes and spending, regulatory reform, and union reform.

In the early hours of Saturday, Feb. 28, the United States, at the direction of President Donald Trump, and in close coordination with Israeli allies, initiated Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian regime. Within 24 hours, more than 1,000 sites were hit and the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was dead following an Israeli strike in Tehran, the capital.

The question remains: What’s next?

Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech of his second term was long as it was a ‘good slice of Americana,’ argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” with Sami Winc.

The images of Democrats sinking into their chairs as Trump praised the USA Men’s Hockey Team and memorialized the horrific murder to Iryna Zarutska further showed the nation that the party of FDR and Clinton is now occupied by such “a sad group of people” with contorted faces.

Is your white privilege giving you anxiety? Obviously, no. But for America’s mental health professionals, the answer is increasingly becoming “yes.”

“Activist therapists,” Andrew Hartz, Ph.D., founder, president, and executive director of the Open Therapy Institute, are products of a culture that puts race at the center of nearly therapy sessions, and liken whiteness to a "parasitic condition.”Dr. Hartz joins today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” (alas, no Victor) to discuss the sharp politicization of clinical psychology training and the implications it’s having on the wellbeing of everyday Americans.

Education is “inherently a historical project” because it’s the generational passing down of culture. 

This “transmission of culture,” or classical liberal education, has been eroded over the past century, however, explains Andrew Zwerneman, president of Cana Academy, when he joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“The first major assault came with the progressivist movement which increasingly divorced education from religion and increasingly made education a matter of utility. So students weren’t learning what they had inherited. They were learning for the immediate problem before them.”

Sports is the “public arena of the difference of the sexes,” so it’s crucial “to assert biological reality,” especially in an era where biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports.  

With women comprising “50% of the population,” celebrating “what women are capable of, independent of men,” is important, explains Kim Jones, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, when she joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis: In His Own Words.”

“We do not have to be afraid to call men or to point out where something is wrong or where women’s rights are impacted. It’s a 90–10 issue. The small number on the other side are very loud, but as soon as we shed that fear and stand on the truth, the culture shifts.”

The “Glib Barristia” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., ignorance of world affairs was one full display for the world to see at the Munich Security Conference last week. But why did she even go in the first place? Elections, says Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”Hanson and Jack Fowler also discuss California's ongoing billionaire exodus, which, by some estimates, has already cost the Gold State over a trillion dollars in potential revenue.

Truckers went from being revered in pop culture as the archetype of the “last American cowboy” in the 1970s and ’80s to teetering on the edge of irrelevance today. Why has the perception of the trucking industry by the American public “gone completely down the toilet”?

There are many reasons the rugged individualists of yesteryear have fallen from glory, but chief among them may be staring us right in the face: cheap foreign labor, explains Gord Magill, author of the forthcoming “End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers,” on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”👉Tap water in the United States often contains a variety of harmful contaminants that pose significant health risks.

Without a free market, the U.S. would not have “liberty,” “prosperity,” or “economic growth.”

Young religious people who are not on the left used to support free markets “by default,” but that’s no longer the case, explains Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. 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 … explaining the spirituality and morality of capitalism. And they were not persuaded. … So again, even with Christian young people, Catholic or Protestant, you have to explain what free markets are and what the moral basis is for them.”

There might not be “a whole [Epstein] list” like U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have said.

Victor Davis Hanson returns for another episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” where he explains why he thinks Jeffrey Epstein “was too clever” to ever leave behind “a notebook” or “incriminating tapes with sex.”

“I don’t think he had anything. 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.”

Additionally, Hanson weighs in on the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing 84-year-old mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, as well as the Winter Olympics taking place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

Mass migration isn’t just a policy debate; it’s a power struggle with global stakes.
Bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” lays out his thesis that mass migration isn’t just a humanitarian or economic issue, but also a strategic tool foreign powers use to reshape American politics.
“It’s not a network in the sense that they are working together. It’s a confluence of interests. Mexico, China, the Muslim Brotherhood—they all have different goals, but they share a common goal: They want to diminish the United States and extend their interests.”

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 kinds of crazy stuff”—a spectacle he calls a “crutch for the lack of talent.”

Victor Davis Hanson returns for another episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” where he breaks down Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny’s controversial halftime performance and what it really says about the direction of America’s biggest stage.

“This is a Neronian Roman circus… I see folk singers that used to come there [the Super Bowl], I saw country western [singers.] I had no problem with any of them. Leftwing, rightwing, I enjoyed it. But when you put Jay-Z in charge of the halftime show… we know what it is now.”

Trump.

Young men need to exercise “agency” in their own lives.

A recent survey done on young men and their problems (and prospects) revealed young men who participate in multiple social activities and groups are problem solvers.

Alex Tarascio, a pollster at Cygnal, a political polling firm, explains that when these young men “talk about their biggest problems, the problems they identify are problems that they can change.”

“If you say, ‘Paying my bills,’ that’s a hard problem, [but] that’s not a problem that you can change super easily. If your problem is romantic relationships, that problem is entirely on you.”

Jennifer Kabbany, editor-in-chief of The College Fix joins Jack Fowler for an in-depth discussion on DEI programs, higher education challenges, and jaw-dropping campus stories.

Traditionally, Minnesotans, by virtue of their Scandinavian heritage, are known for being well-mannered and having good governance. However, over the past few months, the idyllic poster boy for “Midwest nice” has been completely upended following a string of high-profile taxpayer-dollar fraud controversies, raids against peaceful church services and violent altercations between leftist protesters and federal immigration officials.

Daily Signal senior editor Tyler O’Neil joins today’s podcast to walk through his own original investigative reporting behind the anti-ICE protest from within Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn., last week and the tone-deaf responses from local Democratic officials.

“Really, one of the most shocking things that I was able to report was that Gov. Walz’s administration ordered an investigative unit inside one of these huge departments not to investigate criminal fraud. And now they were telling me their statement is, ‘Oh yeah, well that was just … we didn’t want them doing criminal stuff.

“‘We still wanted them investigating.’ But all the whistleblowers have been saying from the beginning that they’re trying to hide this fraud. Meanwhile, we also see this neo-Confederate push essentially to nullify federal immigration law. And it’s not just, you know, Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey who are out there saying, you know, ‘We don’t want to follow these laws in Minnesota and ICE.

“‘You can leave, go pound sand.’ I know Frey used even more colorful language than that. But they’re pitting themselves against the federal government and against the enforcement of immigration law while their shock troops are on the ground, willing to engage anyone.

In 2008, California voters approved Proposition 1A, giving the green light to start planning a high-speed railway connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles, which would be built by 2020 and cost around $35 billion. Well, it’s 2026 and the Golden State’s “Futureland-esque” project is woefully over schedule and budget, now projected to cost around $135 billion.

Lee Ohanian, a Hoover Institution senior fellow, joins Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” to discuss California’s Tomorrowland disaster and more:

“It was Disney’s Futureland. It was trains that would travel as fast as 220 mph. They would move people from L.A. to San Francisco in two hours, 40 minutes. L.A. to San Francisco was supposed to have been finished about five years ago, and as you noted, cost $35 billion. The price tag could be as high as $135 billion today.

“Now the project is woefully over budget—woefully behind schedule. And you know, Jack, in 2019, when Gov. Gavin Newsom gave his inaugural speech right after he was elected, he noted the problems that were happening with high-speed rail at that time. And he said in a very interesting way, ‘We don't have the money to go from San Francisco to Los Angeles.’

“And the project has been subject to not enough oversight and not enough accountability, and he was absolutely correct about that.”
