VDH UltraMy Late, Great Beautiful Neighborhood. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson I know the definition of Leftism is inconsistency—from Eco-Czar John Kerry’s carbon-spewing private jet to the climate change/rising seas, race-mongering Obamas housed in a gated, segregated, and seaside Martha’s Vineyard estate or Hawaiian beach mansion. I know dozens in Menlo Park who laud teachers’ unions and detest homeschooling and charter schools but […]
Things a Little Murky in Politics
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss Jill Biden’s influence, the attack on Paul Pelosi, Florida’s rejection of an African-American Studies AP exam, and how “over-classification” has become a new mantra since the Biden files discovery.
Race Everywhere
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Recently an unarmed 29-year-old African American, Tyre Nichols, was brutally beaten to death by five black Memphis police officers. They were charged with murder. All belonged to a special crime unit known as the Scorpions. Both the victimizers and victim were black. The Memphis police chief is black. The assistant […]
Catching Up With Dr. Victor Davis Hanson
Trevor Carey talks to VDH about California and national politics, including the Biden classified documents scandal.
VDH UltraOur Empire Rots at the Core. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Was San Francisco the crown jewel, the logical result of the progressive project, our inheritance from the politicking of Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein? Where now are all the multimillionaire leftists who were never subject to the realities of their own disastrous ideology? Do any of […]
VDH UltraOur Empire Rots at the Core. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson While Britain was fighting for its empire in out-of-the-way places like Afghanistan (1839–42; 1878–80; 1919), the inner core of London was Dickensian—crime ridden and impoverished. I thought of Dickens’s Oliver Twist and David Copperfield juxtaposed to the horrendous end to the First Afghan War (1842), in which an entire army and retinue […]
The Likes of Dickensian London
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the racism of the word “the,” the riots in Atlanta and the Antifa nexus, and the war in Ukraine.
Anarchy, American-Style
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The 1960s revolution was both anarchic and nihilist. But it was waged against—not from—the establishment. Hippies and the Left either attacked institutions or, in Timothy Leary fashion, chose to “turn on, tune in, drop out” from them. The current revolution is much different—and far more dangerous—for at least three reasons. The Establishment Is […]
Politics in America
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc talk about permanent Washington power, the problem of the FBI and other agencies, Adam Schiff’s complaints, the new Republican House, and Charles McGonigal‘s indictment for Russian collusion.
Stupid, Sloppy, Crazy: Your Call
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson talks with cohost Sami Winc of new questions about the Biden syndicate, Ukraine war and US arms stockade, woke in the universities, Minneapolis vacancy tax, and the culture of indoctrinated students.
How to Balkanize a Country
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler travel down the road of reparations for African Americans and discrimination against Asian students. They end with a discussion of Republicans Nikki Haley and Mitch Daniels.
VDH UltraOur California Rain Forest
Victor Davis Hanson It has been snowing, raining, and flooding in California for nearly a month. So great is the deluge that our “climate scientists,” who warned us of a permanent drought and the end of a snow-capped Sierra and green spring coastal foothills, and who until this week admonished us that the “drought is […]
The Real Differences Between the Biden and Trump Troves
Donald Trump for now certainly seems to have had more documents labeled classified at Mar-a-Lago in Florida than did Joe Biden at his various homes in Delaware. Yet otherwise, the comparisons between the two cases, contrary to popular punditry, hardly favor Biden. First, a stranger would face a far greater challenge entering a post-presidential Mar-a-Lago than a […]
VDH UltraDo They Think We are Stupid?
Victor Davis Hanson Clips from the inane The View are appearing on cable news of Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin speculating that some conservative conspiracy explains Joe Biden’s scattered storage of his vice-presidential papers, among them classified documents, at rooms in his home, his “think tank” office in Washington, D.C., and his Corvette garage. We […]
The Dangerous and the Deadly
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler look at the ever-changing Biden files, what is going on in Ukraine, Dqobbs opinion leaks, and Alec Baldwin‘s manslaughter charge.
VDH UltraGarage Gate and Questions Not Asked
Victor Davis Hanson Why did Joe Biden take out various top-secret papers on various topics including Ukraine, Iran, and the United Kingdom? The toadyish media has offered three explanations: one, Biden was “swamped” in 2017 and harried in his exit from the Vice Presidency and thus naturally got “sloppy”; two, he was writing his memoirs […]
Reckless Reparations Reckoning
The last time racial reparations made the major news was on the eve of September 11, 2001 attacks. The loss of 3,000 Americans, which for a time fueled a new national unity, quickly dispelled the absurdities of the reparation movement, and turned our attention toward more existential issues. Now the idea is back in vogue […]
Trouble: Mexico, Davos, and California
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc examine the problems in Mexico, Davos dandies and dallies, and California’s unmistakable mistakes.
