Mamdani and the Left’s love for billionaires and the hypocrisy within the Democratic Party, Donald Trump’s reported Iran agreement sparks fierce debate on the right, and J.D. Vance takes the lead defending the administration’s strategy in a series of high-profile media appearances. Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc start by breaking down the emerging Iran deal. Next they dive into the topic of Britain, where a major report on the grooming gang scandal details years of abuse targeting vulnerable young girls and institutional failures to stop it. The conversation also examines rising antisemitism in Britain and the United States, protests targeting Jewish institutions, and what Hanson sees as a broader collapse of law enforcement in the West. Finally, they discuss an alleged FBI-disrupted drone and sniper assassination plot targeting President Trump and other public figures, warning that our increasingly extreme political rhetoric in this country has created a dangerous climate that promotes political violence. The episode closes off with a look at Gavin Newsom’s complaints about federal investigations, California politics, and the challenges facing the Golden State.
