Victor Davis Hanson: Businesses Keep Leaving California, Passing of Gordon Wood, and Updates on Iran
As debate continues over President Trump’s handling of Iran, some foreign policy allies are beginning to question whether the administration is applying enough pressure. Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on those criticisms, arguing that Iran has been dramatically weakened economically and militarily, while warning that any agreement should be approached with skepticism. Hanson also reflects on the passing of acclaimed historian Gordon Wood, examines the growing crisis in higher education as professors slash academic standards to accommodate underprepared students, and discusses California’s recent news with Spencer Pratt and the LA Mayoral race, and ongoing struggles with elections, and population loss.

From Courtroom Protests to Belfast Riots: VDH on Race Politics, Immigration, and California’s Mail-In Machine
“ Had the roles been reversed, the whole Black community would be up in arms. “They would say it was murder. But what I'm getting at is that America is so over that now. “After the ‘hands up, don’t shoot’ Michael Brown case—That was a complete lie. The Jussie Smollett case about MAGA people, that was a complete lie. The Duke lacrosse psychodrama, that was a complete lie. The Tawana Brawley rape hoax, that was a complete lie, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” In this Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Sami Winc discuss the Karmelo Anthony murder conviction and reactions to it, arguing the facts were clear and contrasting it with past high-profile race narratives they call false. They also cover violent incidents involving immigrants, including an attempted beheading in Belfast, and claim public anger in the UK and U.S. is growing due to immigration, crime, and what they describe as a two-tier justice system and collapsing “critical legal theory” frameworks. Hanson criticizes prominent figures such as Cardi B and Jasmine Crockett for their comments, contends racial favoritism and DEI policies have fueled resentment, and says universities worsened racial relations. The episode also turns to California politics, alleging legalized vote-harvesting and lax election rules in Los Angeles races, and concludes with commentary on Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner and praise for renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Can’t Be Trusted, and Trump Turns the Tables on Kristen Welker
The FBI’s targeting of traditional catholics, updates on the U.S-Iran war, and the Left’s continued misuse of media; this is “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” As tensions with Iran continue to dominate news headlines, questions are growing about whether diplomacy can still deter the regime’s nuclear ambitions and aggression. Victor Davis Hanson argues that recent events have exposed the failures of past U.S. policy toward Iran, while also highlighting deeper problems at home—from FBI investigations targeting traditional Catholics, to media bias at CBS and NBC, to Trump’s recent callout of NBC's “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker. On today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson examines the challenges facing America abroad and the institutions losing public trust at home.

Victor Davis Hanson: California Election Theft Happens With Mail‑In Ballots, Not Election Day
I can think of three races where Californian Republicans in purple districts clearly won on Election Day—they've even had victory celebrations. And then it starts just like this. You start to see the mail‑in ballots and then trickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, and the portions have nothing to do with the proportions that were counted before. So if Republicans are 58 points ahead across mail‑in ballots, in‑person voting on Election Day, it doesn’t matter. The asymmetries will grow, argues Victor Davis Hanson following the now‑projected defeat of Spencer Pratt (who came in second place behind incumbent Mayor Karen Bass on Election Day) in the Los Angeles mayoral primary almost a week after the election, on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” PROMOTIONS: 👉Go to JoinADF.com/HANSON or Text HANSON to 83848 to help support Alliance Defending Freedom’s work!HTTPS://WWW.JOINADF.COM/HANSON.COM 👉Claim your liberty offer of up to $5,000 in free metals with allegiance gold by going to HTTPS://WWW.PROTECTWITHVICTOR.COM 👉 #1 Water Filtration System.Recommended by Victor Davis Hanson: HTTPS://WWW.COVEPURE.COM/VDH 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: Iran Updates, Nowak Murder Trial, and George Floyd Similarities
How are George Floyd and the murder of Henry Nowak symptoms of broader tribalism? Learn more on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Highlights: On this Saturday edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor and Sami Winc discuss an update on the Iran war, further developments surrounding the Henry Nowak case, and similarities to the George Floyd case. Hanson dives deep into the Henry Nowak murder trial and the subsequent public outrage over bodycam footage, which showed police handcuffing the dying teenager after accepting a false racism claim from the killer. He contrasts the case heavily with the aftermath of the George Floyd incident, arguing that Floyd's death involved career criminality and drug intoxication. Victor Davis Hanson frames the police response as a symptom of a broader tribalism and DEI inclusion standards that have infected Western institutions.
