Victor Davis Hanson: I Left Academia Because I Was Sick of the Blatant Racial Politics
Modern higher education standards are being ruined by the wokeness taking over America. Look no further than Arizona State University, where its School of Journalism just announced a new major dedicated to becoming an “influencer.” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” examine Congressman Ro Khanna’s policy priorities for a Democratic House majority, including Medicare for All, living wage mandates, and cutting off aid to Israel. They describe how the progressives are hypocritical elites, operating as capitalists while pandering to anti-Israel hard-liners. Addressing the public exhaustion with anti-police hostility, Hanson then shares insights from his own career as a classicist, detailing the blatant racial preferences in hiring and ideological rot that ultimately drove him to resign his university tenure. He describes how the woke and DEI standards across America are running higher education into the ground, and influenced his decision to resign his tenure at age 51.

Victor Davis Hanson: Anthony Fauci’s Own Records Reveal Who He Really Was
Iran’s leadership is increasingly divided as political factions seek renewed negotiations with the United States while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps pushes for continued conflict. America’s Gulf allies must take greater responsibility for confronting Iran and protecting the region. Newly released documents raise serious questions about Anthony Fauci’s honesty, financial interests, and conduct during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Democratic Party’s socialist wing continues to gain influence, while Tucker Carlson’s accusations of treason over U.S.–Israel defense cooperation reflect a growing fixation on Israel that has distorted the political debate.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Democratic Socialists of America are Frankenstein’s Monster

As part of the Saturday Special, Victor examines the connections between John Quincy Adams and George H. W. Bush and the entertaining exchange between Representative Gill and Smithsonian’s Director of the Museum of American History.

The IRS Leak Scandal, Democrats’ Socialist Takeover, and the ICC’s War on Israel
An IRS employee who leaked thousands of confidential tax records, non-citizens mistakenly receiving ballots, and Zohran Mamdani's pledge to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu all fuel this week's political firestorm. Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc argue on today's edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words" that these controversies reveal a broader pattern of political weaponization, and the Democratic Party's accelerating shift toward democratic socialism. They discuss how progressive activists have overtaken the Democratic party, including figures like Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, who have been moving further left; despite being wealthy socialist leaders who are increasingly disconnected from working Americans. The episode also examines the International Criminal Court's warrant for Netanyahu, arguing that the ICC has no authority in the United States, and analyzing what these developments could mean for Trump's presidency and the 2026 midterm elections.

Iran's Military Bluff, Socialist Revival, and World War II Revisionism | Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler argue that President Trump is leading a political "counter-revolution," seeking to reverse decades of progressive policies on immigration, education, energy, and American history, doing more than any other Republican president. They examine why these efforts have sparked fierce resistance from the political Left and what they could mean for the country's future.The conversation also covers the growing appeal of democratic socialism among younger Americans, the resurgence of historical revisionism, and why the ignorance of the past is fueling today's political and cultural debates. This episode also explores Iran's military threats in the Middle East, Canada's wildfire and healthcare controversies, and what recent changes in military recruitment and merit-based leadership reveal about the direction of the United States and its allies.

Campus ‘Palestine’ Hysteria, Iran Negotiation Doubts, and Why Blue States Are Bleeding Wealth | VDH
Recent polling from Pew Research shows young Americans—especially Democrats under 30—favor Palestinians over Israelis, which Victor Davis Hanson attributes to campus-driven mass-cult politics, celebrity activism, and a Marxist oppressor-victim framework rather than historical knowledge. Hanson argues the post–Oct. 7 anti-Israel surge was not tied to events in Gaza and compares it to fading fads like Me Too and BLM, while criticizing prominent anti-Israel figures and “cosmic morality” that ignores concrete victims. Hanson touch on U.S.-Israel-Iran tensions, questioning claims that Israel wants war to continue and criticizing conspiracy narratives about Jews and the Mossad. Hanson then contrasts James Monroe’s presidency and the Monroe Doctrine with Bill Clinton’s record, praising Clinton-era budget surpluses while condemning his character and ruthless politics. The show also criticizes Tim Walz’s reaction to deporting a pardoned child rapist and argues California and New York are losing millionaires and billionaires due to taxes and bad governance.
