• Victor Davis Hanson: Is Britain Experiencing Its Right-Wing George Floyd Moment? 04.06.2026 1h 10min

  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 against immigration and assimilation, including protests over ICE detention despite past presidents’ higher deportation totals.  They cover Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s sexting scandal and SS-related tattoo, and end with commentary on “Trans Period Pride” and transgender activism as a modern fad amid historical precedents.

• Founders’ Fire: From 1776 to Trump—Arthur Herman on Innovation, Wealth, and American Renewal | VDH 03.06.2026 51min

  Victor Davis Hanson interviews historian Arthur Herman about his book "Founders’ Fire: From 1776 to the Age of Trump," linking the Founding Fathers to later American business and technology founders and arguing they drive American exceptionalism through risk-taking and innovation. Herman describes a recurring cycle in which founder energy becomes institutionalized and bureaucratic until crises like the Civil War and World War II spark renewal, and he ties recent political turbulence and Trump’s rise to a similar governance crisis and a push to reinvent government around founding principles. They address attacks on wealth and “robber baron” narratives, the role of patents and the pursuit of happiness in enabling entrepreneurship, the outsider traits common among founders, and a shift from globalization to an innovation-first model amid regulation, censorship, and antitrust pressures. 👉Go to JoinADF.com/HANSON or Text HANSON to 83848 to help support Alliance Defending Freedom’s work!https://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON.com  👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

• ICE Threats, Elite Leftist Radicals, NFL Wokery, and California’s “Stop Nick Shirley” Bill | VDH 02.06.2026 1h 22min

  Victor Davis Hanson comments on the rising hostility toward ICE agents after the arrest of Nicholas Matthew Scelfo for threatening an agent’s family, arguing authorities should make examples of such offenders while blue-state politics instead target citizen-journalism. Hanson portrays anti-ICE protests as an elitist class phenomenon that harms working-class communities and ties it to broader DEI-driven cultural and institutional decay, including politicized pro sports and coarsening public behavior. The episode highlights California’s AB 2624 (“Stop Nick Shirley Act”) as a retaliatory, constitutionally suspect effort to deter filming of nonprofit employees tied to illegal-immigrant services and alleged fraud exposure. Hanson also warns about tribalism, immigration-driven integration failures, UK policing distortions, and breakdowns in public order.

• California Politics, Greek Mythology, and The Future of the West 30.05.2026 1h 16min

  California’s political dysfunction, growing concerns over immigration and election integrity, and declining trust in public institutions reflect a broader struggle over accountability, governance, and national identity. Questions surrounding border security, demographic change, public safety, and political leadership continue to shape debates across the United States while voters increasingly question whether government institutions are serving the public interest. At the same time, challenges abroad—from China and Iran to Canada, Europe, and the future of Western alliances—are forcing leaders to confront shifting geopolitical realities. Economic competitiveness, technological innovation, national sovereignty, and civic trust remain central to the ability of free societies to navigate an increasingly uncertain world.

• Trump’s Iran Strategy, Why China Isn’t Rising, and the Socialist-Islamist Democrat Party 29.05.2026 1h 26min

  Iran, China, immigration, elite institutions, and the future direction of the Democratic Party all point back to a broader debate over power, nationalism, and the stability of the Western world. Growing tensions in the Middle East, questions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, and fears of conflict with China continue shaping American foreign policy, while political and cultural battles at home are increasingly centered around institutional control, media influence, and ideological conformity.  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.

• Victor Davis Hanson: The Modern Left Wants Control More Than Accountability 28.05.2026 1h 12min

  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 power, institutional trust, and the future direction of the country.

• Victor Davis Hanson: Tulsi Gabbard’s Legacy in Review 27.05.2026 1h 16min

  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 editions of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words” by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

• Victor Davis Hanson on What Holds Nations Together This Memorial Day 23.05.2026 1h 23min

  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 America’s military tradition was built around citizen soldiers, ordinary people who returned to the communities and institutions they defended. Strong societies depend not only on economic and military strength, but on civic responsibility, accountability, and citizens who remain invested in preserving what they inherit.

• VDH on Kamala Harris’ Radical ‘No Bad Ideas’ Playbook, the Left’s War on Law Enforcement, and Colbert’s Nihilism 21.05.2026 1h 16min

  Kamala Harris floats “no bad ideas” proposals like abolishing the Electoral College and packing the Supreme Court. Democrats only attack rules when out of power, argue Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”  They connect these trends to broader left-wing efforts to change American institutions, describing Democrats as adolescent and grift-prone, and cite episodes of fraud and hostility toward law enforcement, including Democrats voting against a pro-police resolution. Hanson warns of rising antisemitism on the Left, faults Barack Obama and Democrat leaders for silence, and argues authoritarian impulses come from protected elites rather than Trump. The episode also condemns Stephen Colbert and David Letterman’s on-air property destruction, mocks DEI-driven “whiteness” rhetoric from an Iowa candidate, and closes with reflections on classic war films and Memorial Day programming.

• Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Leverage Over Xi Jinping EXPLAINED 18.05.2026 1h 15min

  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 15.05.2026 1h 22min

  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 trip to China, arguing the U.S. holds leverage through trade, energy, and military advantages while China seeks concessions tied to Taiwan. They weigh the Iran conflict, calling the reported $29 billion cost a “bargain” if it topples the regime, and describe regional allies’ limited military commitment and the risks of prolonged negotiations.  Hanson rejects a New York Times op-ed claim that Israelis used “dog rape” against Palestinian prisoners as implausible and sourced from anti-Israel channels, contrasting it with documented Hamas atrocities.  They criticize Pope Leo XIV for honoring Iran’s Vatican ambassador, cover JD Vance’s task force uncovering major healthcare fraud and also review Rand Paul’s COVID-origin investigation implicating U.S. funding routes to Wuhan.  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.

• Victor Davis Hanson: This Is Who Really Deserves Reparations 14.05.2026 1h 14min

  “ If you want to give reparations, how about all the people who died fighting in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and Korea? What did they get,” asks Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Victor Davis Hanson reacts to pro-Palestinian protests marching through Jewish neighborhoods in New York City that required 500 police, arguing leaders and campus culture have created “open season” on Jews and warning of broader social breakdown. Hanson outlines his “four horsemen” of new antisemtism—demography driven by immigration and foreign influence, DEI’s oppressor framework, institutional changes in the Democrat Party, and left-wing popular culture—while also faulting parts of the populist right.  The conversation turns to legal and illegal immigration, assimilation, and sanctuary policies, alongside Mayorkas’s belated regret over Biden’s border response and the administration’s loss of track of migrant children.  They cover reports detailing Oct. 7 sexual atrocities, San Francisco’s regulatory priorities amid disorder, Harvard’s reparations effort and fears of identifying too many descendants, and a Cambridge shooting by a felon released early, with comments on vigilantism and upcoming politics. 👉If Victor Davis Hanson is must-watch for you, The Signal Sitdown belongs in your feed.

• The Untold Story of the Declaration of Independence | Victor Davis Hanson 13.05.2026 53min

  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.

• VDH: California’s Peak Dystopia, LA’s Mayoral Chaos, and New York’s Toxic Empathy 12.05.2026 1h 24min

  Rhamell Burke, a repeat criminal, attacked and later stalked two women on the New York City subway last April. Though police stopped Burke from harassing the women any further, the victims ultimately decided not to cooperate with prosecutors, with one woman telling the New York Post later, “maybe a part of me was just like, I don’t want to put another black man in jail.” It was a decision she ultimately regretted after Burke, about one month later, allegedly pushed a retired school teacher onto the subway tracks, leading to the 76-year-old’s death. “ Well, I mean, it's toxic empathy, isn't it—that it gets people killed. It serves the ego of the so-called enlightened, but the consequences fall on people that can't defend themselves,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. ALSO: Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler reflect on California’s decline, highlighting Los Angeles mayoral debate fallout as Karen Bass withdraws and Nithya Raman reverses on defunding police while Spencer Pratt gains traction.  Hanson ties LA’s disorder, wildfire failures, DEI-driven omissions, and Gavin Newsom’s long record in office to outmigration and fiscal strain, noting California’s $503B adjusted gross income loss and a projected $15–$20B deficit amid fraud and welfare concerns.  They discuss New York’s subway killing by a repeat offender, arguing “toxic empathy” and lax enforcement endanger the public. Hanson predicts communities will form local “cocoons,” rebukes AOC’s claims about billionaires and America’s founding, and assesses Trump’s China trip and leverage amid the Iran war and shifting geopolitics.

• VDH: Iran Stalling Tactics, Reform Party Shock in Britain, Hephaestus & the Double Standard in U.S. Justice 09.05.2026 1h 27min

  Negotiations with Iran inevitably drag on through delay and deception, warning the prolonged standoff affects U.S. economic confidence and is shaped by uncertainty about Iran’s missile and drone arsenal, while Israel faces nearer-term risk and U.S. politics increasingly blames Israel, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”  Nigel Farage’s Reform Party surge reflects backlash against Labour-era crime, open borders, green energy policies, and national decline. He praises blunt attacks on Los Angeles governance over homelessness, drugs, and shuttered mental institutions. He highlights a perceived judicial double standard in the White House Correspondents Dinner shooting case, then explains Hephaestus’s myths, cult sites, craftsmanship role, and why the god is portrayed as lame.

• Antisemitism Surge, Iran Deal Doubts, Europe’s Free-Ride, and California’s Breakdown | Victor Davis Hanson 08.05.2026 1h 33min

  Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Wink cover New York’s Mamdani removing a city webpage celebrating ties with Israel and broader incidents they describe as a mainstreaming of antisemitism, which Hanson attributes to DEI ideology, Middle East money and influence in universities, and Israel’s current strength.  Hanson recounts a contentious Piers Morgan appearance defending Israel and warns of rising street-level attacks on Jews.  They assess reports of a possible Trump-Iran agreement, arguing Iran is untrustworthy and urging verifiable surrender of enriched uranium and limits on missiles, while addressing War Powers Act politics.  Hanson attacks Canada’s Mark Carney and Europe’s reliance on U.S. defense, then turns to California’s “jungle primary,” proposed new taxes, the Palisades arson suspect’s left-wing posts, campus activism, and a Supreme Court redistricting ruling he says could reshape House seats and elections.

• Victor Davis Hanson: Nazi Tattoos Used to Be Taboo—Now They’re in the Democratic Party 07.05.2026 1h 21min

  Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler evaluate Tucker Carlson’s recent comments praising Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, focusing on allegations about Platner’s past Nazi tattoo, extremist social-media statements, anti-Israel rhetoric, elite background, and questions about running for Senate while reportedly receiving 100% PTSD disability benefits. They discuss claims of election-related misconduct in Maine, including statements that non-citizens are registered to vote and the secretary of state’s refusal to provide voter files to the Justice Department.  Hanson argues Democrats pursue structural power changes when they doubt electability and compares right- and left-wing fringe figures’ treatment in elite institutions.  The episode also covers disruptions of Federalist Society events at UCLA and Stanford, university responses to identifying protesters, concerns about declining standards and “prolonged adolescence,” migration from blue to red states, and a Rhode Island federal judge ordering release of an illegal alien wanted for murder, alongside ICE arrests of criminal aliens in Minnesota.

• America in Flux: Supreme Court, Iran, Cultural Change, and More | Victor Davis Hanson 05.05.2026 1h 20min

  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.” 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.
