  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why Europe Is Turning Against Mass Immigration
Q: What is the host's take on Europe's experience versus America's approach to immigration?
The host suggests Europe's experience challenges its social and economic models, while America's approach, framed around enforcement of existing laws, is presented as a different path that could influence midterm outcomes.
Victor Davis Hanson: Why Europe Is Turning Against Mass Immigration
Q: How does Hanson compare Trump's political trajectory to European politics?
He points to a parallel where attempts to marginalize Trump through legal and political pressure backfired, increasing his prominence and appeal, a pattern he sees mirrored in Europe with anti-immigration movements gaining ground.
Victor Davis Hanson: Why Europe Is Turning Against Mass Immigration
Q: What does Hanson see as the main driver behind Europe's political shift on immigration?
He argues that mass immigration and perceived open borders have awakened nationalist and anti-establishment movements, with major parties losing credibility as voters seek stricter immigration controls and national sovereignty.
America’s Education Crisis, the Left’s Victimhood Culture, and Trump’s Political Comeback | VDH
Q: How do you see the role of education shaping the current political climate?
Education is foundational; when civics, history, and ethics are weakened in schools, the public loses a shared frame of reference, making it easier for polarizing narratives to take hold.
America’s Education Crisis, the Left’s Victimhood Culture, and Trump’s Political Comeback | VDH
Q: Victor, what sparked your decision to write about a counterrevolution in American politics?
The book traces how the political left has transformed policy areas—from immigration to social policy—while Republicans and conservatives have struggled to respond, leading to a counterrevolution that unravels aspects of the progressive project.

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
