  • The Real Odyssey, Andrew Jackson's America, and Reagan's Conservative Revival | Victor Davis Hanson

    The Real Odyssey, Andrew Jackson's America, and Reagan's Conservative Revival | Victor Davis Hanson
    Aug 1 2026
    Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey impresses with spectacular visuals; but it misses the heart of Homer's epic, argues Victor Davis Hanson. On today's edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words, Hanson explores the historical origins of The Odyssey, explaining how the poem blends Mycenaean history, Greek mythology, and oral tradition into one of Western civilization's foundational works. He then critiques Nolan's adaptation, praising its technical achievements while arguing that changes to key characters, themes, and mythology fundamentally alter Homer's original story. The conversation then turns to two transformative American presidents, Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan. Hanson examines Jackson's populism, expansion of executive power, and enduring legacy, before reflecting on Reagan's rise from California governor to president, his economic agenda, and why he became one of the defining conservative leaders of the twentieth century. re-order “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement” NOW: https://www.amazon.com/Counterrevolution-Fall-Donald-Trump-Movement-ebook/dp/B0GF1K43WM NEW FILM: “Sacred Honor: The Declaration That Defines a Nation,” featuring Victor Davis Hanson, is OUT NOW! https://youtu.be/O1d3gn_H8ow Vaer Watches - Visit http://Vaerwatches.com/VDH Pure Health Research - Visit http://purehealthresearch.com and use coupon code VICTOR to save 35% on your order today.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: I Left Academia Because I Was Sick of the Blatant Racial Politics

    Victor Davis Hanson: I Left Academia Because I Was Sick of the Blatant Racial Politics
    Jul 30 2026
    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

    Victor Davis Hanson: Anthony Fauci’s Own Records Reveal Who He Really Was
    Jul 28 2026
    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
    Jul 25 2026
    This week Victor and Sami discuss how the new Socialist Left emerged from the Democrats catering to the excesses of their fringe, creating a political Frankenstein’s monster. They also provide an update on the state of the Iran war, as wartime strategic decision making necessitates the U.S. to retaliate disproportionately. 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

    The IRS Leak Scandal, Democrats’ Socialist Takeover, and the ICC’s War on Israel
    Jul 24 2026
    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
    Jul 23 2026
    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.
