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…

Many Americans are wary of U.S. boots on the ground in the Middle East after the Afghanistan and Iraq wars that became "endless." President Trump’s comment about possible “boots on the ground” is likely just “Art of the Deal” rhetoric, explains Victor Davis Hanson in today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” youtu.be/djnxRpGG39E?si…

China has created “the operating system for the globalized economy,” putting other countries at its mercy. Chris O’Dea, an adjunct fellow at the @HudsonInstitute, explains how China has built strategic influence through commercial shipping networks, ports, and infrastructure, potentially giving it a significant geopolitical boost over both the U.S. and the entire global economy. @jackfowler youtu.be/kR0_5MR-lrU?si…

Pennsylvania is “tied to the American story.” It’s the state that gave power to both the first and second industrial revolutions, saved the union at Gettysburg, and hosted the Constitutional convention. In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” guest host @jackfowler speaks with Andrew Lewis, Iraq war veteran and president of the Commonwealth Foundation, about why Pennsylvania matters nationally and how state-based think tanks turn free-market ideas into laws. @MyCommonwealth youtu.be/xn0RVi1-92g?si…

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Runs Risk of Proving Fringe MAGA Base Right About Iran The American people want a swift liberation of Iran that doesn't cost U.S. blood or treasure. Getting "stuck in a quagmire" with "hundreds of American dead" would be a political catastrophe for Republicans heading into the midterms, and further legitimize fringe figures, like Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens, argues @VDHanson on yesterday’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Full video: youtu.be/y0knBnlsChk

Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech of his second term was long as it was a ‘good slice of Americana,’ argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” with Sami Winc. The images of Democrats sinking into their chairs as Trump praised the USA Men’s Hockey Team and memorialized the horrific murder to Iryna Zarutska further showed the nation that the party of FDR and Clinton is now occupied by such “a sad group of people” with contorted faces. youtu.be/BSRsSx23ye8?si…

Is your white privilege giving you anxiety? Obviously, no. But for America’s mental health professionals, the answer is increasingly becoming “yes.” “Activist therapists,” Andrew Hartz, Ph.D., founder, president, and executive director of the Open Therapy Institute, are products of a culture that puts race at the center of nearly therapy sessions, and liken whiteness to a "parasitic condition.” @Hartz_PhD joins today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” (alas, no Victor) to discuss the sharp politicization of clinical psychology training and the implications it’s having on the wellbeing of everyday Americans. @OTI_USA @jackfowler youtu.be/6B3GScbE8Io?si…

How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? After all, most have little public support—and are not Western nations supposedly rationally governed? There is usually a multi-step process on the road to these self-destructive fits of society-wide insanity: victorhanson.com/the-graveyard-…

The media has fixated on Trump’s tariffs and his provocative tweets. Meanwhile, he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have already done more to hinder China and its terrorist clients and proxies than any administration in memory. victorhanson.com/is-there-a-tru…
