Democrats’ Plan to Impeach Pete Hegseth, Trump’s Iran Dilemma, and the Post-Midterm Economy
Democrats are preparing to target Pete Hegseth with impeachment efforts following their midterm election victories. The push to impeach Hegseth reveals a political double standard, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Hanson criticizes Democrats for pursuing investigations against Trump officials rather than addressing affordability, comparing accusations against Hegseth to military actions and controversies under previous Democrat administrations. Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc also examine the ongoing conflict with Iran and the surprising strength of the U.S. economy. Hanson argues that falling gas prices, rising wages, and economic growth point to a hidden economic boom that Democrats are reluctant to acknowledge. The episode also discusses Harmeet Dhillon’s resignation, the Democrats’ social media strategy during the midterms, and the future of immigration enforcement following the “blue wave” of the midterm elections.
