VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Four: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson The Culture What were woke, DEI, ESG, and cancel culture? What was behind the iconoclasm, the massive 2020 riots, arson, looting, and the blanket amnesties extended to them, soon to be juxtaposed to the long prison sentences for the far less violent, one-day Capitol protests? We should remember that no American ever […]
Leading and Misleading Men
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler for recent news stories: Eli Steele refuses to check the “black” box, Denzel Washington as Hannibal, Cuomo and Fetterman support Israel, why oil nations support climate-change, anti-fossil-fuel policy, and how our universities became so left-leaning and their possible undoing.
Will Partisan Lawfare Destroy Trump?
Trump Derangement Syndrome became Orwellian with the recent ruling of the Colorado Supreme Court. It approved the erasure of Trump from the Republican primary ballot in Colorado, by invoking Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That ossified clause was intended to bar any ante-bellum federal officials who joined the Confederacy from again holding federal offices after […]
VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Three: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson Foreign Policy There have been plenty of foreign policy disasters over the last 60 years since the Vietnam Era. But even in our failures, there was no inherent intent to destroy ourselves and to deliberately harm efforts to improve our security and stature overseas. Not now. Why are we experiencing one of […]
VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part Two: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson Crime We have experienced high crime in the past, especially following the racial tensions and hippie “let it all hang out” unreality of the 1960s, and the erosion of norms and general breakdown as fantasized in the Escape from New York/Death Wish/Dirty Harry days of the 1970s and early 1980s. But once again, as […]
Israel and Cultural Nihilism
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler explain Biden’s new restraint of Israel, popular opinion fatigued by Woke and DEI, nihilism of the Left in policy and ideas, US military recruitment problems, and the Ukraine War.
We Are Well Beyond Hypocrisy
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling. They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they’re doing the utter opposite. And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral […]

VDH UltraHumpty-Dumpty America, or How Did We Suddenly Fall Apart? Part One: The Symptoms
Victor Davis Hanson Americans feel like they awoke one morning in 2023 trapped inside a Kafka novel. We thought we were normal, but in this new, radically changed America, we cannot identify any familiar referent. We ourselves, believing that we are still “normal” and wedded to protecting and carrying on the American experiment, are somehow […]
VDH and Steven Quay
Dr. Steven Quay discusses with Victor Davis Hanson the effect of the lockdowns, the real nature of mRNA vaccines, and the controversies over the origins of covid in the Wuhan lab.
Civilization Versus the New Nihilists
Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party. If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts. Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law. By fiat, nihilists […]
Hamas, the Middle East and Inside the Beltway
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about defeating Hamas with water, women who support Hamas, what Austin and Milley have don to the US, and the history of US proxy wars, then and now.
VDH UltraThe Three Blind Mice of the University
Victor Davis Hanson I wrote on X about the three blind mice college presidents (Gay of Harvard, Kornbluth of MIT, and Magill of University of Pennsylvania). Recently, one blind mouse has tentatively resigned under pressure, Liz Magill, former dean of the Stanford Law School and lately president of the University of Pennsylvania. An introductory note and warning: […]
VDH UltraThe Shame of Hamas
Victor Davis Hanson Almost daily, western news agencies quote “15,000 civilian deaths” caused by the Israel Defense Forces. They once at least used to qualify “according to Hamas authorities.” Now they don’t even do that much, but employ “Palestinian authorities,” as a euphemism for Hamas liars. How does Hamas know the roughly exact number of […]
GOP Needs Unity, Hunter Needs Lawyers, No One Needs Context
Listen to Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler as they discuss difficult air travel, McCarthy’s new critique of the GOP, the Republican ticket must unify, Hunter’s indictment, and university presidents too blind to see real harassment.
