'Communists and Islamists’ Are on the Ballot: GOP Congressman’s Warning on 2026 | Riley Moore
Republicans want to define the 2026 midterm elections by contrasting their own party with the growing number of far-left Democrats and socialists.Rep. Riley Moore, a first-term Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, told the Daily Signal that will be key to mobilizing GOP turnout and keeping control of the House. Moore joined the “Midterm Report” to share his outlook with less than seven weeks until Election Day."You have communists and Islamists running up and down the ballot here in the United States," he said. "They want to pack the Supreme Court. Obviously, they don't believe in this country as a republic. They don't believe in our foundational documents."Moore, who represents West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, won his 2024 election with more than 70% of the vote. He said the stakes extend well beyond his own reliably Republican state.Also on the program, Rob Bluey is joined by fellow Daily Signal colleagues Bradley Devlin, Senior Politics Editor, and Virginia Grace McKinnon, Congressional Reporter, to debrief the first ever Midterm Republican National Convention, and more on today’s edition of “The Midterm Report.” NEW FILM, The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy The West, presented by The Heritage Foundation, OUT NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0rwaEs5jA Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Is Preparing an October Surprise Before the Midterms
The midterms are about 50 days away, and Democrats continue to search for ways to gain back control of the House and Senate. Their answer may come from the conflict in Iran. Iran is most likely planning an October surprise of their own to shock Americans and hurt Republicans in the November elections. Democrats are all for it. But will that surprise be enough to give Democrats control of Congress until the end of Trump’s second term?

Victor Davis Hanson: Mark Carney Is Living in a ‘Fantasy’
Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is exposing deeper problems with the country’s economy, immigration system, energy policy, and national defense. Prime Minister Mark Carney is pursuing closer ties with China while Canada remains heavily dependent on the United States for trade and security.A weaker economy, limited defense capabilities, restrictions on Canada’s vast energy resources, and growing tensions with its largest trading partner have left the country with little room for error. Turning toward China and adopting policies modeled after Europe could further strain the U.S.-Canada alliance and leave Canadians paying the price.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Plans to Use the Midterms Against Iran
Iran mistakenly thinks the November midterms are President Trump's weakness. But Trump plans to use this thinking and the midterms against the Iranian regime. If Trump can end the conflict by his midterm deadline and truly accomplish his objectives, there’s a very good chance it could boost Republicans’ outcome in the November elections. "If you look at the entire situation, the midterms are actually in the interest of Donald Trump and the Iranian dissidents. Donald Trump then has a deadline to which he can bring this thing to a close. He's got seven weeks, and I think that he will be encouraging internal revolt." Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: How Trump Came Back From Rock Bottom | Midterm Report Ep. 1
Welcome to the "Midterm Report," the Daily Signal's new election podcast. Every Saturday between now and Election Day, Rob Bluey breaks down the biggest stories in politics with the interviews, insights, and analysis you won't get from legacy media. On our first episode, pollster Brent Buchanan joins the show to discuss the first-ever RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas, explaining the split inside the GOP base between Trump Republicans and traditional Republicans, and a 26-point enthusiasm gap between them. He walks through why affordability is dominating voter behavior, why only 88% of Trump 2024 voters are committing to a Republican for Congress, why the "socialist" label alone won't win races, and the one number you should actually watch in every poll from now to November. Then, historian Victor Davis Hanson joins us on his brand-new book, "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement." Hanson explains what "counterrevolution" really means, how Trump's second term targets causes instead of symptoms, and how a man written off after Jan. 6 mounted what he calls the greatest political comeback in modern American history. He also compares Trump to Reagan, walks through the lawfare and debanking years, explains how Trump won on class instead of race, and gives his odds for the House and Senate this November.

Victor Davis Hanson: Canada’s Anti-American Gamble Is About to Get Expensive
The fate of 41 million Canadians depends on Mark Carney being successful in his renewed trade war with the United States. However, he will fail. They've lost 41,000 jobs just in one week of the tariff war. The United States, for the first time ever, is ushering in a new world order. "We're not going to subsidize everybody's defense and run up $200 billion deficits with one neighbor, Mexico, and $50 billion to $60 billion with our northern neighbor and call it a free trade zone. We're not the wealthy powerhouse we always were. President Donald Trump wants symmetry, and the United States wants gratitude, and Carney wants to wage an economic war and gin up world opinion against the United States and ally himself with the most pernicious, deadly government in history," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” has a special limited time offer: With a monthly donation $28, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=signalelite&utm_content=260820-vdh-book-youtube10 Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democratic Socialists Hide What They Really Are
There are quite a few Democratic Socialists running in this year’s midterms, and the outcome of their races could determine the last two years of Trump’s presidency. Take James Talarico, who is running to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. He has claimed God is nonbinary and that there are six genders, but he openly presents himself as a Christian. “He's not going to say any of that to Texas. You know what he's going to do? He's going to walk around in a rented truck and a cowboy hat and talk about how great Texas beef is.” Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit http//:www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 and for a limited time your first gift to ADF will be DOUBLED by a special matching grant—while funds last. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” has a special limited time offer: With a monthly donation $28, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&ut… Learn more about your ad choices.
