Podcast appearances and mentions of Victor Davis Hanson

Zohran Mamdani's proposal to impose a new surcharge on certain New York property owners expanded far beyond the $5 million homes initially discussed, with notices sent to nearly one million homeowners whose properties are valued at more than $1 million. The policy has sparked criticism over its burden on longtime homeowners, retirees, and families whose […]

Radical Islam and the socialist left have formed an unlikely political alliance despite their profound ideological differences. Both movements share a deep hostility toward Western civilization, capitalism, Israel, and liberal democracy, creating a coalition driven by common enemies rather than common beliefs.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Lazar Focus. Each Friday, join host diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, we want to take a broad look at the direction of US foreign policy. How does domestic politics affect America's ability to wage war? Is a moderate bump in gas prices enough to keep US President Donald Trump from achieving his goals against Iran? What changes after the midterms? We also want to examine the nose-dive in support for Israel among Democrats, and the rise in antisemitism on the right wing of the Republican Party. Prof. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most prolific and well-known American historians. Trained as a classicist, he has written extensively on ancient and modern warfare. He also has unique insights into the currents driving US politics. Hanson said that midterm elections often warp foreign policy. The incumbent party almost always loses, and with the Republicans holding a thin lead in the House of Representatives, they are in serious danger of losing the House. If that happens, said Hanson, Trump will face two years of impeachment hearings. In addition, said Hanson, Americans are willing to support military action, but run out of patience quickly. "They don't mind the violence," he said. "They don't mind, to be frank, how many people you kill. They don't want to lose any Americans, but they want it short, and out of the Middle East especially." Hanson pointed out that Democratic Socialists have only won a few elections in deep blue states thus far, and they are not the inevitable future of the Democratic Party. Both parties have had fringe outliers that damage their chances, only to have course corrections in subsequent cycles. What is unique about the Democratic Socialists phenomenon, he says, is that it is combined with an Islamist element: "What unites them is they hate Western civilization. They hate capitalism, even though they do quite well by it. They hate Israel. And I'll be candid. I think they hate Jews as well." He argued that on the right, the Republican Party and broader conservative movement are pushing back on their antisemitic fringe. Vance, said Hanson, is "brilliant." He sees that Marco Rubio's star is rising and is trying to find a way to position himself as the party's frontrunner. Vance's way to do so, said Hanson, is to appeal to the disaffected working-class whites he grew up around. On Iran, Hanson stressed that the people leading the regime are fanatics. What the US should do is create a transitional government in exile in a nearby Arab country and send frozen regime funds to that body. "Sow the seeds of dissension and let it work like that," Hanson urged. "But I don't think we need to talk to them anymore. It's completely futile." Overall, he said Israel is in a strong position diplomatically and militarily, while Iran is weaker than many realize. Russia and China are also slipping economically and demographically, while the US is squeezing them out of places like South America. Hanson argued that prioritizing the Palestinian cause is a "Western elite fetish in Europe and the United States." Finally, with one of the world's leading classics scholars on the show, how could we not discuss Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey? Hanson called it "a spectacularly produced film, special effects, and he encouraged people to take an interest in Homer. But "it's really not Homer's Odyssey. I would call it a diverse, equitable and inclusive Odyssey, a DEI Odyssey." Lazar Focus can be found on all podcast platforms.

Jesse Kelly, Victor Davis Hanson - Trump Launches MASSIVE Crackdown on Communism, Important Changes in The World Since Trump     Trump Launches MASSIVE Crackdown on Communism Communist movements have historically focused on gaining influence inside the institutions that shape society. From education to politics to culture, the battle over ideas often begins long before a movement gains power. The strategy is simple: reshape the systems that influence how people think, vote, and view the world. Jesse Kelly examines why communism remains a threat to the foundations of American life.

Across Latin America, governments are becoming more aligned with the United States while Chinese influence continues to recede. Europe is dramatically increasing defense spending, strengthening its borders, and rethinking energy policies after years of dependence and underinvestment. Russia is weaker economically and militarily, Iran has suffered devastating losses to its military and nuclear infrastructure, and China faces growing economic and strategic challenges as its global ambitions encounter new obstacles. Many of these changes stem from Donald Trump's willingness to abandon traditional diplomacy in favor of an unpredictable negotiating style that pressured both allies and adversaries. NATO members are committing more resources to their own defense, America's strategic position has strengthened across multiple regions, and longtime rivals face greater economic and military pressure than they did just a few years ago. Whether history ultimately judges Trump's approach favorably remains to be seen, but the global balance of power has shifted in ways that increasingly favor the United States.

Radical Islam and the socialist left have formed an unlikely political alliance despite their profound ideological differences. Both movements share a deep hostility toward Western civilization, capitalism, Israel, and liberal democracy, creating a coalition driven by common enemies rather than common beliefs. The history and core principles of Islam, Marxism, socialism, and communism reveal where these ideologies fundamentally conflict and where they increasingly overlap. Their opposing views on religion, government, individual rights, and society are contrasted alongside the shared political goals that have brought them together in modern Western politics.

Homer's Odyssey was not written as a straightforward account of the Bronze Age. It emerged from centuries of oral storytelling that preserved faint memories of Mycenaean civilization, absorbed the customs of the Greek Dark Ages, and incorporated warfare, agriculture, politics, and language from Homer's own time. The collapse that followed the Trojan War transformed ruined palaces, forgotten tombs, and distant rulers into stories of Cyclopes, demigods, and legendary heroes. That complicated history also challenges criticism of Christopher Nolan's adaptation, since Homer's poem itself blends multiple eras rather than presenting a historically exact picture of ancient Greece.

Anthony Fauci's private diary presents a starkly different account of the COVID pandemic from the one given to the American public. The records reveal his awareness that the lab-leak theory was credible, his private agreement with arguments against school closures, and his fixation on media attention, awards, money, and personal influence. Fauci publicly portrayed himself as the embodiment of science while dismissing opposing experts and exercising enormous power over federal research funding. His private admissions, public contradictions, involvement with gain-of-function research, and support from the media turned his pursuit of authority and fame into a modern Greek tragedy—one that severely damaged his legacy and public trust in American institutions.

Harry Enten is flabbergasted that new polling shows a majority of Americans don't trust what democrats are saying about the war in Iran and question the left's narrative about the entire conflict. Trust in the democrat party is at an all-time low as their corresponding news networks fail to cover the Anthony Fauci diary story dropped by Senator Rand Paul. RFK Jr drops bombshell news about Fauci's adverse reaction to the jab that he kept from the public. Victor Davis Hanson is not one for tirades but the stream-of-consciousness scathing the conservative thought leader gave Fauci is worth all of us hearing.

USA står i en stadig skarpere kamp om landets politiske retning. Nye dokumenter vekker igjen spørsmål om valget i 2020, Demokratene sliter både økonomisk og organisatorisk, og sosialistene i DSA forsøker å flytte partiet i en langt mer radikal retning.Samtidig gjør Israel-spørsmålet splittelsen på venstresiden stadig tydeligere. Mens Benjamin Netanyahu møter Donald Trump i Washington, har New Yorks sosialistiske borgermester Zohran Mamdani undersøkt muligheten for å arrestere den israelske statsministeren.Er dette bakgrunnen for det Victor Davis Hanson beskriver som Trumps kontrarevolusjon?

Megyn Kelly is joined by Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and author of "The Counterrevolution," to discuss shocking new details released in Dr. Fauci's "diary," the dangerous hubris exposed in the document, his lies and narcissism on display throughout his notes to himself, new revelations from Dr. Fauci's diary about his relationships with prominent journalists, his public image unraveling as more information comes to light, Dr. Fauci used the media to cover his own complicity in the pandemic, Fauci's lasting damage to America, President Trump's appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the absurd backlash to some of his jokes, the media's double standard on humor from political figures, Ryan Clark crying on-air after his ESPN firing, his past comment trashing Charlie Kirk, why attacks on Caitlin Clark are increasingly backfiring, the change in culture from 2020 to 2026, one of the Democratic Socialists of America's leaders admitting the radical changes they want to enact, the random assortment of leftists that make up DSA, and more.   More from Hanson:https://www.amazon.com/Counterrevolution-Fall-Donald-Trump-Movement/dp/1541607821   Supersure Insurance: Upgrade your business insurance to a year-round SuperAgency at https://Supersure.com/Megyn Relief Factor: Reclaim your mobility and celebrate your freedom from aches this year by grabbing your $17.76 3-week QuickStart at https://ReliefFactor.com or by calling 800-4-RELIEF.

After nearly five months of conflict with Iran, Trump needs a new strategy to end the war. Iran is betting high gas prices and the continuing  conflict will hand the midterms over to Democrats.

Today's revolutionary movement to subvert America's integral values has been 50 years in the making, and President Trump is the first true counter-revolutionary challenging the Left's narrative.   Unlike the Bushes, John McCain, or Mitt Romney, Trump is signing legislation and implementing policies to end the revolution, from classrooms to the military to the border.   “He's the first authentic counter-revolutionary since Andrew Jackson,” says Hanson.   Who would've thought America first policies could solve most of the country's problems?

The Houthi rebels have actively joined the war between Israel and the U.S. They decided to attack ships transiting the Red Sea. Today, we'll get you up to date on the latest developments in the Middle East and what is ahead.Back home, the nation is getting set for the Midterm elections ahead in November. Lines have been drawn, and fierce debate is underway from all corners about the so-called "facts" that are at best questionable. You'll hear several examples with details of each.Victor Davis Hanson addresses a spooky scenario that is playing out online among several famous conservative talk-show hosts who are collectively breaking away in support of Israel and the Jewish people. The Barack Center that recently opened in Chicago has been exposed to owing hundreds of millions of dollars to contractors, subcontractors, and union workers who are now declaring bankruptcy, many of whom are losing everything. Obama has turned from a hard commitment regarding payment and doesn't even speak to answer questions. Several successful companies have already declared bankruptcy, or are soon to, due to Obama's inaction.

For nearly 140 days, the conflict with Iran has shifted from direct military action to negotiations and limited exchanges, leaving key objectives unresolved. Missile attacks on Gulf states continue, the Strait of Hormuz remains contested, and questions remain about Iran's enriched uranium and nuclear capabilities.Iran has sought to prolong the conflict until after the midterm elections, while President Trump is under pressure to conclude military operations without preventing Iran from rebuilding its military strength.  The latest strikes have become more aggressive, remaining military targets are identified, responsibility for securing the Strait of Hormuz is shifted to regional allies, and Iran's decision to avoid attacking Israel despite continuing attacks across the Gulf highlights Israel's deterrence and military advantage.

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” has been drawing a lot of attention but not necessarily for good reasons.Actress Lupita Nyong'o, set to play Helen of Troy in the film, complained in an interview that Homer didn't include enough women in his play. In actuality, “The Odyssey” was one of the most pro-women works for its time period. Nolan's film has also received criticism for its controversial casting choices, including giving the role of a famed Greek warrior to transgender actor Elliot Page. Nolan's adaptation releases Friday, July 17. Only time will tell whether the film stayed true to Homer's vision.

The war with Iran has settled into a dangerous pattern of strikes, retaliation, and stalled negotiations. Iran appears to be using talks to buy time while continuing to threaten the Gulf, tankers, and the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has already damaged major parts of Iran's military and political structure, but the conflict will continue unless Iran loses the ability to keep attacking its neighbors and disrupting global shipping. The path forward is to raise the cost on Iran's military infrastructure, weaken its ability to strike, and create the conditions for most American forces to come home. With oil prices stabilizing, regional allies capable of helping keep the strait open, and the midterms approaching, the question is whether Trump can end the conflict decisively and shift attention back to the economy and the political fights at home.

The disease of Democrat Socialism is slowly spreading throughout three groups of people: urban consumers, immigrants, and DEI advocates.   Their symptoms and agenda include everything abnormal to traditional American policy: open borders, amnesty for illegal immigration, and the conflation of citizenship with mere residency.   Their methodology is to run in select blue cities in local elections, giving them a chance to out-fund and out-perform the Democrats. And if they do that well, socialism could spread throughout the entire Democrat Party.   Socialists can't afford to create a third party, so they're simply taking over another.

Europe is always angry, but the last two weeks particularly so. First it was Trump's tariffs, then it was Greenland, and now it's the NATO budget—that the U.S. is carrying by 50% mind you.   What Europe should really be upset about is the socialist agenda ruining their country: DEI, redistribution, green energy, open borders, you know the rest.   America had better learn from Europe quickly, or we'll be Europe 2.0 before long, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Mount Titano Media - FINDING OUR WORDS: Words That Made America is available now in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, Audible, and in Spanish translation on Amazon.com, and on https://www.MountTitanoMedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Even though Americans didn't ask for it, Mamdani thought America would appreciate a July 4th message from him on why the country is racist and unfair. (Spoiler, you're the problem.)   In reality, the racist and privileged individual is Mamdani himself. He has never been the victim. He comes from wealthy parents, immigrates to America, and then criticizes the host country that took him in.   “That's about as racist as you can get,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 

America's 250th anniversary raises a bigger question about whether the country can endure for another 250 years. The Constitution, federalism, legal immigration, natural resources, free markets, private property, and a strong middle class helped build the United States into the most successful nation in history. The rise of socialism, attacks on the constitutional system, open-border policies, hostility toward energy and agriculture, and class warfare all threaten the foundations that allowed America to flourish for centuries, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit https://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.

The decline in America's race relations from the Chicago Juneteenth shooting, the Carmelo Anthony case, and the Caitlin Clark controversy. Victor Davis Hanson says America has lost much of the racial progress it made in the 1980s and 1990s. He argues that political leaders and the legacy media are focused on the wrong problems, discusses the effects of DEI and the Great Society, and explains why he believes real change must come from within the Black community.

Megyn Kelly begins the show with the latest developments in the Karmelo Anthony case, the hiring of a high-profile new legal team, Sunny Hostin's disgusting and misleading claims about the trial on The View, the efforts to inject race into the case despite the jury's verdict, and more. Then, Victor Davis Hanson, author of "The Counterrevolution," joins to discuss the lies being spread about the Karmelo Anthony case, from Hostin's comments on The View to Team Anthony's changing narrative after the verdict, how it fits into the pattern of racialization in other high-profile criminal cases, Weather Underground co-founders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn spotted in the third row at Barack Obama's library opening, recent reports involving Bryon Noem continuing to message a dominatrix after his fetish was revealed, the ongoing allegations on bizarre behavior that are still surfacing, and more. Then, James Hamilton, former FBI and security expert, and Maureen O'Connell, host of "Best Case Worst Case," join to discuss bombshell new reporting in the Nancy Guthrie case, the contents of a second note allegedly sent after her disappearance, what the note may reveal about her fate, how the note's tone sounds "feminine," what the unusual language may reveal about the sender's relationship to the case, questions surrounding whether the FBI should've paid the ransom, whether authorities are close to an arrest, and more.   Relief Factor: Reclaim your mobility and celebrate your freedom from aches this year by grabbing your $17.76 3-week QuickStart at https://ReliefFactor.com or by calling 800-4-RELIEF.
