VDH: Trump Broke the Left and Exposed Their Dirty Playbook
15/07/2025 Duration: 09minVictor Davis Hanson unpacks the real sources of the Democrats’ rage on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Why are they so angry? Why isn’t this the old party of Bill Clinton? Or even the party of Barack Obama? One: They have no institutional power. They do not have the House. They do not have the Senate. They do not have the White House. They do not have the Supreme Court. They do not have the issues. There are 30/70, 20/80 issues. And they’re on the wrong side. “ Put it all together and they’re mad, mad, mad. And they should be because Donald Trump threatens not just to take their power away, but the sources of their power.”

VDH: Trump Makes ‘Experts’ Eat Their Words with Record-Breaking Three Weeks
14/07/2025 Duration: 07minTrump has revitalized military recruitment and turned the armed forced from “fat” to “fit,” reshaped America’s foreign alliances, and delivered bold results that no one expected—and many actively warned against. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down why, in the face of naysayers and “experts” claiming it couldn’t be done, this even more of a momentous feat on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The economy did not crash or crater. Wall Street is at all-time high. Stock prices, job growth unexpectedly—that’s a word have to use because the Left always says it’s going to get very angry. The angry Left. And they’re very angry and they say, ‘It’s not going to work.’ And then they have to say, ‘Well, it worked.’” “ The idea that all of their Ph.D.s, all the letters after their names, all of their ZIP codes, all of their prestige meant nothing. That here we have a billionaire builder from New York, with a Queens accent, who’s transactional. And he was able to create a revolutionary chang

Will He or Won’t He? Virginia’s Youngkin Eyes 2028 as Speculation Swirls.
11/07/2025 Duration: 23minEveryone wants to know “what’s next?” So, when the outgoing Republican Governor of Virginia carries a 54% approval rating from a blue-ish (purple?) state into speaking invitations at the Iowa and South Carolina which happen to hold two of the first three Presidential primaries in 2028, the questions start flying. To be fair, they have been flying before and Governor Glenn Youngkin has become very adept at deflecting them with a quick, “I’m just focused on making Virginia the best state for (insert what ever event he is at when he’s asked) and that’s a full-time job.” However, in just a few months he won’t have that job anymore so, will he or won’t he? We asked experts in Virginia politics and campaigning to give us their reading of the T.E.A. Leaves.

Victor Davis Hanson: Zohran Mamdani's Skeletons Are Coming Out of the Closet
10/07/2025 Duration: 07minWith no record of holding a real job outside activism, music, and campaigning, Mamdani has built his political identity on class warfare, racial rhetoric, and far-Left ideology. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the latest on Mamdani in today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Barack Obama, when he was president, ordered a predator hit team on and killed [Anwar] al-Awlaki in a targeted assassination….Now we learned in 2015, years after that Obama hit on this ISIS figure, Mamdani was defending him and saying, basically, he turned radical because FBI surveilled him. “He has some other disturbing things, as well. He posted a video on his social media of Indian Americans dressed as if they were Hasidic Jews. And they were making fun of the Hanukkah celebration. And they had a menorah there. And they were chanting, as if they were rap music. It was very derogatory toward Jews. Yet, why would he put that on his social media account?” (0:00) Introduction to Zohran Mamdani (0:57) Controv

Victor Davis Hanson: Sedition, Insurrection, and the Democrats’ Desperate Strategy
09/07/2025 Duration: 09minVictor Davis Hanson breaks down what’s driving this madness on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ We've got even more disturbing reports that Democratic Congress people said, ‘Well, what are we supposed to do? We meet with our constituents and they're telling us that one of us should be shot. I don't mean shot by punishment. They're urging us to use violence and be willing to be shot by others to promote a radical agenda.’” “ This is insurrection. Why is it happening? …They lost the Congress, they lost the White House, they lost, of course, in most cases, the Supreme Court. So, they don't have any power.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump’s Not An Autocrat. He’s Following the Precedents Set By Obama, Biden
08/07/2025 Duration: 08minI have one piece of advice for President Donald Trump. Whether it's dealing with the fallout from executive orders, mass deportations, or bombing foreign countries without explicit congressional approval, President Trump just simply needs to remind his critics that nothing he’s doing is “ahistorical or unprecedented,” advises Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “So, they're saying he is deporting, deporting, deporting people. Well, Barack Obama deported more people in his tenure than any other prior president—2.5 million. And he focused on criminal aliens. He said so. Just like Donald Trump did. And as far as cages and detention centers, Obama created them. So Trump just said, ‘I'm just following the precedent of Obama.’"

Virginia’s Top Cop: Jason Miyares on Law, Rights, and Immigration
08/07/2025 Duration: 16minAs the 249th anniversary of the nation has passed and we begin a yearlong series of community celebrations of Virginia’s role in the founding of the United States of America, it needs seemingly constant refresher that in order to secure our rights we need to be a nation of laws that establish the appropriate punishments if someone transgresses your rights. Those laws require law enforcement officers and in Virginia, the apex of that list is the Attorney General. The Daily Signal spent some time with Jason Miyares on a number of topics including; “How does the son of an immigrant feel about deporting the migrants that were let into the Country and the Commonwealth over the past four years?” Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: Beware, Elon Musk’s ‘America Party’ Could Be Democrats' Path Back to Power
07/07/2025 Duration: 11minBut from the Bull Moose Party to Ross Perot, third-party efforts rarely succeed and often hand power to the Left. Will this be another spoiler moment that hurts Republicans in 2026 and 2028? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it down on today's episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words." “ It's kind of an effort to hurt Donald Trump, both in the Congress and his successor in four years. But here's the question that I have for Elon Musk, and that is, does he really believe that he can pull this off? Apparently, he does. “ I don't think in the next midterm election there's going to be American Party senators or representatives. However, they do, in some cases, affect elections. And for the most part, it's unpredictable. Nobody knows what the situation will be in 2028. But Elon Musk must know that it won't be a constructive role.” 00:00 The Rupture: Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump 01:40 Revisiting the Rupture: Musk and Trump 02:11 The America Party: A Potential Spoiler? 03:23 Lessons from History: Third-

04/07/2025 Duration: 08minVDH: This July 4th, We Remember the Fallen A year and two months after the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the 13 American colonies declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776.

And remember what they did, who they were, and why they did it,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on this July 4 edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”

VDH: Zohran Mamdani Is Dusting Off the Old Socialist Playbook. He Hopes No One Will Notice
03/07/2025 Duration: 08minNew York City Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani tells his supporters he wants to “turn the page in New York City” with a fresh new agenda. However, there’s nothing new about what Mamdani is proposing. In fact, his socialist policies are quite old. “City-owned grocery stores?” It’s called a co-op and California had plenty in the 1970s until people began to notice that their produce was no better than Safeways. “Freezing the rent?” Owners of rent-stabilized properties in the Bronx lose an average of $120 per month on each apartment, resulting in 200,000 severely rundown apartment units, according to Mark Willis, a senior policy fellow at NYU’s Furman Center on Real Estate. “Fast, fare free buses” won’t work while people are jumping the turnstiles and using the subway for free, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
