Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Closed the Border. But His Deportation Media Strategy Fell Short Americans wanted the border closed and illegal immigrants gone, but they didn't want to see the mechanics of deportation. The media approach by Kristi Noem and others handed the Left photo-ops that worked against the Trump administration. “Just do it, but do it very quietly and humanely, and then we're gonna talk about how we regret we have to do this rather than boast about it.” 👉 Watch the FULL episode with @VDHanson here: youtu.be/OW2bFb6O1sM?si=NKbc…

Victor Davis Hanson: What a Radical Left Victory Would Mean in 2028 With the Left in control of the House, Senate, and White House, the country could look very different. A packed Supreme Court. Open borders. ICE defunded. And unending lawfare against conservatives. “ You could see people say, ‘We're gonna get rid of the Electoral College. We don't really care about the Constitution, whether you have to get three-quarters to amend it. We're gonna pack the court. There's nothing that says we can’t.’” 👉 Watch the FULL episode with @VDHanson here: youtu.be/OW2bFb6O1sM?si=NKbc…

Victor Davis Hanson: What Trump Should’ve Done About Iran The on-again, off-again approach to Iran exhausted the American public. President Trump should’ve implemented a decisive strategy, hit the military and nuclear targets hard and fast, and wrapped up the conflict quickly. “The price of oil would've, I think, crashed, and they would've been home, and it wouldn't have been an issue. But people were tired of on, off, on, off.” 👉 Watch the FULL episode with @VDHanson here: youtu.be/OW2bFb6O1sM?si=NKbc…

Victor Davis Hanson: The Dangerous Consequences of the Democrats' Midterm Victory The Democrats have ridden a blue wave to victory in the 2026 midterms, but what does that mean for President Donald Trump and the future of America? From the economy and the war with Iran to the growing influence of the socialist left, the election raises serious questions about what went wrong for Republicans and what comes next. With control of Congress shifting and the 2028 presidential election on the horizon, the stakes extend far beyond the next two years. Could a Republican comeback be possible, or is America headed toward a fundamental political transformation? @VDHanson

Trump's Path Forward After the Republican Midterm Defeat | Victor Davis Hanson Republicans face a new political reality following their midterm losses, but President Donald Trump still has two years to secure his legacy. With Democrats taking control of Congress, Trump's path forward could depend on executive orders, judicial appointments, a resolution to the conflict with Iran and peace in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the growing influence of Democratic Socialists raises the stakes for 2028, when a Democratic victory could pave the way for sweeping changes to the Supreme Court, immigration enforcement and the balance of power in Washington.

Victor Davis Hanson: Democrat Midterm Wins Won’t Affect Trump’s Ambitions, Modern History Shows Us Obama said, "I have a pen and a phone. It's not going to affect me," and it didn't. And then on foreign policy—those were the most radical years of his eight—He restored full recognition to communist Cuba. Then he went into this disastrous Iran deal and he said it wasn't a treaty and he didn't need the Senate. LIVE NOW: youtube.com/live/kr6K-Tl4R8k @VDHanson @TheTonus

Victor Davis Hanson: The Blue Wave Has a Weak Spot—And Trump Has a Plan B History and polling may favor Democrats in the 2026 midterms, but the party's controversial Senate candidates and unpredictable voting patterns could derail its hopes of a congressional sweep. Even if Republicans lose both chambers, Trump could still wield significant executive authority, following precedents established by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Victor Davis Hanson Trump’s Economy Hits 3.4% Growth—Where Did All the Doomsayers Go? With the U.S. economy growing at an annualized rate of 3.4% in the third quarter, Victor Davis Hanson argues that President Donald Trump's deregulation, tax cuts, and trade policies are delivering economic results that his critics refuse to acknowledge. Meanwhile, Hanson contends that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's attempts to distance Canada from the United States have backfired, leaving Ottawa increasingly dependent on a trade agreement with the very president Carney sought to challenge.

Victor Davis Hanson: Carney’s Anti-Trump Crusade Is Driving Canada Straight Into Xi’s Arms Mark Carney's anti-Trump crusade threatens to destroy Canada's relationship with its most important trading partner while pushing Ottawa closer to communist China and the European Union. Rather than resolve a manageable trade dispute with Washington, Carney is gambling Canada's economic future on partnerships with authoritarian Beijing and a struggling Europe.

Communist Islamic Revolutionaries Are Up for Election | Victor Davis Hanson With Election Day approaching, an alliance between the Socialists and Islamists has formed on the American Left. The consequences of Mark Carney's refusal of trade deals with the U.S. increase as hundreds of thousands of jobs disappear in Canada. Brazil elects a socialist after laws change dubiously to extend the timeframe in which votes are cast. France faces a choice in its upcoming election to resist the ideologies that burn its cities down; however, the medicine of closed borders and diminished state welfare seems worse than its disease to the European left. Victor delves into the presidencies of James Garfield and Woodrow Wilson for the Saturday Special’s presidential segment. @VDHanson

Victor Davis Hanson: Pro-Abdul El-Sayed Ad Confirms What We Knew All Along—He’s an Anti-Semite “So why would they pick the Jews as responsible for a 3.4 rate of inflation? And the answer is he's only confirming what we all thought, that he's an antisemite.” Democrats and their media allies are manufacturing the illusion of an impending midterm landslide, even as Republicans remain competitive in their fight to retain control of Congress, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” From a controversial Rebellion PAC ad supporting Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed that blames Israel for high grocery prices to revelations that operatives aligned with Mary Peltola’s campaign helped recruit a second Dan Sullivan for Alaska’s Senate ballot, Hanson contends that the Left’s political double standards and election tactics are exposing a deeply compromised political establishment.

Victor Davis Hanson: Elon Musk Built SpaceX—Now the Left Wants to Run It Like the DMV Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich has called on Democrats to “defund” Elon Musk and prepare to nationalize SpaceX and Starlink, a proposal Victor Davis Hanson argues would punish one of America's greatest innovators for his extraordinary success. The Left's hostility toward Musk has little to do with his accomplishments and everything to do with his rejection of Democrat politics, his defense of free speech, and his instrumental role in Donald Trump's 2024 election victory.
