  • Hitter and Hindenburg

    Please pardon this old crank but because you’re so excellent, nothing less will do. Hindenburg was s President which under the Weimar government was Head of State, not head of government it was the republican equivalent of the constitutional monarch’s role in Britain. He did not run with Hitler, but as Oresident he appointed Hitler to be Chancellor, following the deal Hitler struck with others in the Reichstag.ernmem.

  • Hassan Piker as anchor baby

    VDH said something today I’ve been thinking for a while … that Hassan Piker is an anchor baby. He is indeed a perfect example of the hazards of birth tourism. I have a dread of the great numbers of people born inside our borders who are returned to countries hostile to America but who have all the rights of our citizenry. Truly the Supreme Court got it all wrong on birthright citizenship. We should emulate the rest of the world in requiring that the newly born take the citizenship of their paren... more

  • Victor is a national treasure!

    I’ve listened to Victor’s sage analysis and commentary on current events and politics for years now and can’t recommend him enough. His brilliance is also shown around world history, especially WW2 and Greek times. I also recommend his books. Listen to Victor as a lone (normal) voice in a wild, crazy world!

  • Socialism/Communism

    I have noticed many commentators seem to differentiate between Socialism and Communism I know Victor remembers the Soviet Union was the USSR (United Soviet Socialist Republics) we didn’t refer to them as Socialist we knew them as Communist.

European Anti-Semitism, Saving Sinwar’s Life, and the Left’s October 7 Denial
Q: What is your take on European attitudes toward Israel and anti-Semitism?

European Anti-Semitism, Saving Sinwar’s Life, and the Left’s October 7 Denial
Q: How do you view the AI landscape and its political implications?
He argues the U.S. should lead in AI development to deter adversaries, warns against handing control to international bodies, and asserts AI is driving real economic growth under certain leadership, while criticizing left-leaning skepticism. He also ties AI to national security and economic policy, suggesting innovation as essential to maintain geopolitical advantage.
European Anti-Semitism, Saving Sinwar’s Life, and the Left’s October 7 Denial
Q: What are your thoughts as we are now roughly a month away from Election Day?
Victor outlines five known unknowns: the political dynamics of the midterms, polling reliability, Trump's unique position, the impact of oil prices, and the mobilization of voters. He emphasizes that momentum is uncertain, polls can be manipulated, and Trump remains a wild card with significant fundraising potential. He also highlights potential economic outcomes tied to oil, inflation, and energy policy, stressing the importance of economic messaging and turnout.
Obama’s AI Alarm Could Hand China the Advantage | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: What does deterrence look like in the AI era?
Deterrence must be enhanced by a clear, credible national stance that discourages adversaries from misusing AI, acknowledging that international bodies lack the enforcement power to stop aggressive actions.
Obama’s AI Alarm Could Hand China the Advantage | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: Any thoughts on this?
Victor argues that Obama's legacy reshaped American politics, and that the shift toward identity-focused policy weakened merit-based pathways, contributing to current political polarization.

Frequently Asked Questions About Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

What is Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words about and what kind of topics does it cover?

A forceful, history-minded political analysis show that stitches current events to longer historical narratives.

The host and frequent co-hosts lean into provocative comparisons, constitutional themes, and institutional critique, which makes the program feel like a syllabus for listeners who crave principled, long-form commentary over quick takes. Notable strength is the blend of historical context with contemporary strategy, which can attract listeners who enjoy deep-... more
