  • Victor Davis Hanson: Secret Service Needs to Prioritize Marksmanship, Not DEI, Moving Forward

    Victor Davis Hanson: Secret Service Needs to Prioritize Marksmanship, Not DEI, Moving Forward
    May 1 2026
     I don't know if it's DEI or what, but why doesn’t the U.S. Secret Service emphasize shooting ability all the time? It seemed like the old guard—the old breed in the 1960s—were pretty good about that. My premise is this: They're in a unique situation in that they have a president that has now been the target of three attempted assassinations in which shots were fired one way or the other. We've never had that in the history of the country, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc argue the Iran war has been highly asymmetrical and strategically successful, rejecting media claims about Iran’s remaining capabilities and urging sustained pressure to force concessions while oil dynamics shift, including UAE talk of leaving OPEC and the potential for prices to fall. Hanson says Middle Eastern states quietly favor the U.S. effort, while European leaders attack America for domestic political reasons despite relying on U.S. power; he portrays Germany and Britain as weakened by energy, immigration, demographic decline, and disarmament, and reads King Charles’ visit as an attempt to mend ties while avoiding Iran. They also cover China’s Belt and Road leverage via loans and labor requirements, condemn repeated Secret Service breakdowns amid multiple Trump assassination attempts, praise Trump’s pushback against Nora O’Donnell, decry California’s soaring high-speed rail costs, and debate Navy procurement toward dispersed, drone-heavy platforms.

    Trump Assassination Attempt, Kimmel’s WHCD Joke, Comey & Fauci Indictments, and the UK Visit | VDH
    Apr 30 2026
    Violent rhetoric from celebrities and Democrats helped create the climate reflected in President Donald Trump’s third would-be assassin’s manifesto, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Hanson assesses Barack Obama’s response to the most recent assassination attempts, recounts attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2003, and condemns Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Melania Trump while defending free-speech rights and consumer boycotts of Disney. Hanson and co-host Jack Fowler cover James Comey’s second indictment, this time over the “86 47” beach post, and Dr. David Morens’, described as a top Fauci adviser, run-in with the law over alleged concealment and destruction of COVID-origin records. The conversation also touches on Virginia redistricting, U.S.–UK relations during the King’s visit and Trump’s remarks on shared Anglo-American heritage, and ends with comments from viewers and Hanson’s personal health update.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: UCLA Mob Tactics, Crime Culture, and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Influence

    Victor Davis Hanson: UCLA Mob Tactics, Crime Culture, and the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Influence
    Apr 28 2026
    Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler react to a disrupted UCLA Federalist Society event featuring DHS General Counsel James Percival, arguing elite law schools now reward activist intimidation and vulgarity while teaching critical legal theory. They connect this culture to rising tolerance for theft and political violence, citing Hasan Piker’s comments and a New Yorker writer’s shoplifting, and raise concerns about Democrats opposing limits on sex offenders working near childcare. Hanson warns that left-wing institutions and corporate donors amplify groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which he claims gins up threats to drive fundraising and blacklist opponents, especially after Charlottesville.

    DOJ Bombshell: Did the SPLC Fund the Chaos It Warned About? | Victor Davis Hanson
    Apr 25 2026
    New allegations against the Southern Poverty Law Center this week raise serious questions about how donor money may have been used behind the scenes. Like fire brigades in ancient Rome accused of lighting the fires they responded to, the Southern Poverty Law Center is accused of ginning up the same white supremacist violence they fundraised off of, outlines Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” PROMOTIONS: 👉If Victor Davis Hanson is must-watch for you, The Signal Sitdown belongs in your feed.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Iran War Update, Dem ‘Fascism’ Claims, and California’s Newsom & the Nick Shirley Act

    Victor Davis Hanson: Iran War Update, Dem ‘Fascism’ Claims, and California’s Newsom & the Nick Shirley Act
    Apr 24 2026
    Iran is losing resources but trying to survive by delaying negotiations while being resupplied via rail links to China and routes across the Caspian. Tightening the blockade and targeting infrastructure if Iran escalates would hasten collapse and could lead to eventual regime change, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Also in this episode: Claims about how parts of the American left and prominent Democrats amplify Iranian propaganda and use “fascism” rhetoric while overlooking past Democratic double standards on war powers and Trump-era prosecutions and impeachments. The episode also discusses Tucker Carlson and other right-wing war critics, assesses California’s failures under Gavin Newsom, including high-speed rail, energy, fires, and water, and condemns a proposed “Nick Shirley Act” aimed at curbing investigative journalism.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: John Brennan’s ‘Rendezvous’ With Accountability Couldn’t Come Sooner

    Victor Davis Hanson: John Brennan’s ‘Rendezvous’ With Accountability Couldn’t Come Sooner
    Apr 23 2026
    The U.S. Department of Justice’s probe into the former CIA chief will hopefully lay bare John Brennan’s sins, which were years in the making. “We got to remember that this is a man that went before Congress under oath as head of the CIA, and had the CIA under his direction spying on U.S. senators. You should look at the tapes of Diane Feinstein, of all people, who was furious about it. Is the CIA tapping into our staffers’ computers? And he said, no, we wouldn't do that. That was a complete abject lie,” says Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words. The episode also touches on Hanson’s forthcoming book, The Counter Revolution; criticism of Democrats’ shift and rising antisemitism; Sen. Mark Kelly opposing a school-choice tax credit; Senate delays in the John Brennan probe; Trump’s comments about Cuba; and broader concerns about institutions, media, and political accountability. 👉If Victor Davis Hanson is must-watch for you, The Signal Sitdown belongs in your feed.

  • VDH on Iran, Xi Summit, Clarence Thomas vs. Progressivism & the Left’s Double Standards

    VDH on Iran, Xi Summit, Clarence Thomas vs. Progressivism & the Left’s Double Standards
    Apr 21 2026
    Iran’s fractured leadership can’t be trusted and President Donald Trump’s sequencing—destroying air defenses and nuclear/military infrastructure, then negotiating while imposing a costly blockade—puts time against Tehran and enables U.S. dictation rather than an Obama-style deal, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Hanson also discusses the upcoming Trump–Xi meeting, saying U.S. drone-centric power and the unraveling of China’s proxy leverage (Iran, Venezuela, Panama, Syria) strengthen Trump’s hand. He criticizes European posturing, highlights Tim Walz’s speech in Spain, and condemns the Left’s elevation of flawed “icons.” Hanson praises Clarence Thomas’s critique of progressivism as anti-Constitutional, attacks Newsom’s governance and narrative, and closes with health updates after lung surgery complications.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Iran in Shambles, Rubio Targets Regime Families, and the Return of the Impeachment Hoax

    Victor Davis Hanson: Iran in Shambles, Rubio Targets Regime Families, and the Return of the Impeachment Hoax
    Apr 18 2026
    CNN and former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes are of the opinion that President Donald Trump, who has chosen the sword over the pen, will get a far worse deal out of the mullahs in Iran than his predecessor, Barack Obama. What did Iran get out of its deal with Obama, you might ask? For 10 years, Iran was sanctions-free, making $500 million a day in petrochemical sales. Thanks to figures like Ben Rhodes, it was like a “bonanza for the Houthis, Hamas, the people in Syria and Iraq that are their proxies, and, of course, Hezbollah,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” What did Iran get out of Trump in his first term? Crippling sanctions and a dead Revolutionary Guard leader. What did Iran get out of Trump in his second term? A dead ayatollah, decimated offensive capabilities, and a half-destroyed government begging America to come to the negotiating table.
