Iran’s regime shows cracks as internal divisions and economic pressure mount under renewed U.S. strategy.

Is this America’s fight—or another case of allies sitting on the sidelines? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down President Trump’s Iran address, exposing the growing divide between U.S. leadership and Europe’s reluctance to act.

Last week, Israel denied access to Bethlehem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, one of the holiest sites in the Christian faith, on Palm Sunday, citing security concerns amid the conflict with Iran. Many expressed outrage. Nearly all ignored the risk, Victor Davis Hanson argued on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtu.be/0LRTl_Ndv3o?si…

The tragic shooting of a Loyola University freshman last week highlighted Chicago’s serious need for ICE to remove illegal immigrants from its streets. By making Chicago a sanctuary city, Gov. JB Pritzker can’t blame President Trump for the tragedy, especially when Trump has continually offered to help make the city safer by deploying the National Guard there, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtu.be/zbKNms9VRTU?si…

Joe Kent honorably served the United States during his 11 deployments to combat zones in the Middle East. Now, however, he has betrayed President Trump, the man who helped him have a political career as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center after two failed congressional campaigns, explains Victor Davis Hanson on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtu.be/E_4oRG9rlIo?si…

Medicine is not the answer to most problems, especially when it comes to gender dysphoria.

In this Friday news roundup, Victor Davis Hanson argues Iran is unlikely to strike the U.S. homeland with drones but could use proxies or influenced naturalized citizens, while discussing Trump’s potential escalation options in the region and Europe’s reluctance to help despite benefiting from reduced Iranian power. The discussion then centers on Washington’s fight over a DHS-related shutdown: Hanson claims Democrats are using DHS as a pretext while aiming to damage the economy by disrupting airport security and broader DHS operations, forcing Trump to negotiate, and avoiding any discussion of ICE because parts of the party oppose deportations. youtu.be/jzm7oP9eC2w?si…

I grew up in rural California surrounded by hard-working immigrant farm families from Armenia, India, Japan, and Mexico. Their work ethic, love of America, and productive farms were models for U.S. non-immigrants. Such immigrants explained why the San Joaquin Valley was the most productive and richest agricultural region in the nation. My own Swedish grandfather, disabled by poison gas while fighting on the Western Front in World War I, loved all things Swedish, but not nearly as much as his beloved America. Four Hansons fought on the front lines of World Wars I and II. One was disabled, and another was killed on Okinawa. And all felt blessed that their parents and grandparents had gotten to America. But recently, something has gone terribly wrong with immigration. victorhanson.com/our-new-ungrac…

The legacy media continues to downplay recent bombing attempts and other violent incidents tied to illegal immigrants, arguing “Islamophobia” is overstated while antisemitism rises. Victor Davis Hanson, co-host of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” criticizes the 1965 immigration shift toward family-based entry, says the Left excuses illegality and anti-Americanism, and connects these trends to tribal politics. Victor and @jackfowler mock a proposed “supergroup” of radical big-city Democrat mayors (New York, Chicago, Boston, Oakland, Seattle, Los Angeles) amid crime, taxes, and dysfunction. youtu.be/cOsbJSz8ZTw?si…

Iran’s “chaos strategy” consists of threatening the Strait of Hormuz and striking regional targets, weighing U.S. and Israeli escalation options amid Donald Trump’s political constraints before the midterms and concerns over oil markets, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtu.be/cJoLwcUpwvc?si…

Victor Davis Hanson interviews former USC president and engineer Max Nikias about his memoir, “American Trojan,” tracing Nikias’s journey from a poor village in Cyprus to U.S. citizenship and academic leadership. Nikias recounts studying engineering in Athens during Greece’s military dictatorship and witnessing the 1973 Polytechnic uprising, then returning home as Cyprus was invaded by Turkey in 1974, displacing his family. He describes arriving in America with $1,500, earning a SUNY Buffalo scholarship, navigating H-1B and citizenship standards, and building a career in engineering and classified U.S. Navy work. @MNikias13008 youtu.be/Rsh8DoEfUyw?si…

University of Texas at Austin professor and moral philosopher Prof. J. Budziszewski discusses his new book, “The Pandemic of Lunacy: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy,” which examines 30 modern delusions and why they spread ON today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” ft. guest host @jackfowler . He argues today’s irrationality is motivated, often contains a grain of truth, and metastasizes as one false premise leads to others, with social media acting as a force multiplier. youtu.be/nu9iV2x6UXk?si…
