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, Hezbollah,? argues Victor Davis Hanson on today?s edition of ?Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.? What did Iran get out of Trump in his first term? Crippling sanctions and a dead Revolutionary Guard leader. What did Iran get out of Trump in his second term? A dead ayatollah, decimated offensive capabilities, and a half-destroyed government begging America to come to the negotiating table.

President Donald Trump looked at the Iranian regime?s strategy to close the Strait of Hormuz and simply flipped it upside down. The difference between the United States and Iran is that one of us can live while the strait is closed, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today?s edition of ?Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.? ?

It's going to implode. The population is restive, and America?s in the driver's seat. ?They have no money. Before the war started, there was hyperinflation.

While it was unwise for President Donald Trump to attack Pope Leo in such a public manner, the Pope himself should know better than to wade into partisan politics in a time of war, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today?s edition of ?Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,? featuring co-host Jack Fowler. Jack and Victor also condemn the assault on TPUSA reporter Savannah Hernandez at a recent protest, urging legal consequences, and use it to argue the activist left claims moral exemption while enabling violence. Victor reviews analysis that a U.S. blockade could rapidly cripple Iran?s oil revenue, limit storage capacity, and deepen internal regime weakness, criticizing media pessimism and disputing claims that China will ?win? via renewables. The episode also notes NATO allies? declining readiness, UN backing of Iran for a key council role, and Al Sharpton?s call for black Americans to avoid celebrating America?s 250th anniversary.

CaliforniaCalifornia?s problems didn?t happen overnight?they?re the result of decades of policy choices that prioritized ideology over infrastructure, energy, and economic reality. Victor Davis Hanson argues the state abandoned its fundamentals, while Elaine Culotti points to runaway bureaucracy, middlemen siphoning public funds, and mandates that burden working families. They challenge the sustainability of a system dependent on a shrinking tax base and warn that overregulation is driving businesses and residents out. The discussion centers on restoring accountability, rebuilding core systems, and rethinking policies that many believe are pushing California toward long-term decline.

If you take anything away from Rep. Eric Swalwell?s resignation, it should be the following: Whether a democratic politician actually abused, sexually harassed, sexually assaulted someone is not of importance to the Democratic hierarchy. What's important is the status of that person's political viability, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today?s edition of ?Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.? Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss Rep. Eric Swalwell dropping out of California?s governor race amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations, arguing Democrat leaders act based on political viability and comparing reactions to Tara Reade?s allegation against Joe Biden versus E. Jean Carroll?s case against Donald Trump. They analyze Trump?s criticism of Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones over opposition to strikes on Iran, with Hanson describing the campaign as a deterrent air effort aimed at the regime rather than Iran?s people.  The episode also covers reports about U.S. clearing the Strait of Hormuz, prospects for ending the Russia-Ukraine war, concerns over European allies? dependence on U.S. defense, the Byron Noem controversy as a national-security vetting failure, and anger over criminal justice outcomes including an early release in Indiana and a New York case involving a police officer convicted of manslaughter.

Debate over Trump?s rhetoric on Iran has sparked fresh accusations of ?war crimes? from critics. But a look at history?from World War II through Iraq and Libya?shows U.S. presidents in both parties have long targeted dual-use infrastructure in wartime.

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.

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.

Many expressed outrage. Nearly all ignored the risk, Victor Davis Hanson argued on today?s edition of ?Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.?

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.?  PROMOTIONS: ?America is worth preserving.

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

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.

Jack Fowler and Victor Davis Hanson discuss Joe Kent?s recent resignation over opposition to military action against Iran. Hanson argues Iran?s long record of attacks and proxy warfare makes stopping now dangerous. 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.

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. ?America is worth preserving.

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. ?America is worth preserving.

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.? ?America is worth preserving.

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.  We hope you enjoy! ?America is worth preserving.

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. ?America is worth preserving.

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.

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.

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. ?

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.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last November about whether President Trump exceeded his executive authority by imposing what some are calling ?sweeping, worldwide tariffs? in Learning Resources Inc. v. Trump. While we wait for the high court to render a decision, John Yoo, a University of California, Berkeley, law professor and visiting scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, joins Jack Fowler to predict how the court will rule on this, as well as many other high-profile cases, in the coming months. ?America is worth preserving.

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.? ?America is worth preserving.

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. ?America is worth preserving.
