Victor Davis Hanson interviews Thomas and Michael Pack about their efforts to reform government media and promote conservative documentaries.
VDH UltraAmerican Pravda. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson In communist countries, there were two levels of consciousness, two mindsets in other words. What all people mouthed publicly became the opposite of what most thought in private. When the private mind finally became all dominant, the entire system of the Soviet Union and communist Eastern Europe abruptly collapsed under the weight […]
M-Obama, Menendez, and Milley
Join the Friday news roundup with Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc: will Michelle Obama be the Democratic candidate, what is the meaning of Menendez’s crimes, is our Customs and Border Protection importing immigrants, does the UAW understand the cost of regulation, what is Mark Milley’s legacy as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of […]
The Ukrainian Gordian Knot
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Most Americans understandably favor the Ukrainian resistance against Vladimir Putin’s Russian naked 2022 aggression. Yet for Ukraine to break the current deadlock—our generation’s Verdun with perhaps 600,000 combined casualties so far— and “win” the war, it apparently must have the military wherewithal to hit targets inside Russia. Such strategically logical attacks might […]
Women Politicians and Education
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss KJP defending Biden, Michelle Obama a 2024 candidate (?), Newsom inching to candidacy, Kamala Harris’ record, our budget crisis, and inner-city school crisis.
VDH UltraJoe Biden’s so-called “Successful and Effective Presidency”
Victor Davis Hanson So, we are assured by David Ignatius that Biden has had such “a successful and effective” presidency that he must now step down, deprive us of his genius, and rest upon his laurels? All of Biden’s initiatives now poll below 50 percent. Biden himself struggles to poll above 40 percent. That is […]
Our Corrupt Bureaucrats and Representatives
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler examine the actions and works of Ibram Kendi, Chuck Schumer, David Brooks, John Brennan, Robert Menendez, and the antics of Fetterman, Boebert, and AOC.
VDH UltraThe Origins of the Biden Disaster. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Joe’s campaign handlers had three surrogate campaign messages: 1) Joe Biden was the old Joe Biden from the 1970s who was a “centrist Democrat” (He was not then nor is he now.). 2) He at least was not the left wing’s boogeyman Donald Trump (but rather a known plagiarist, prone to racist […]
Is the Left Happy That They Got Their Wish?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness America has been in a veritable cultural revolution since the 1960s. Nearly all our major institutions finally became woke—the administrative state, traditional and social media, universities, K-12, the corporate boardroom, entertainment, professional sports, and the foundations. So the Obama and the Biden administrations finally seemed to have achieved their aims, […]
What to do with the FBI and the Vietnam War
Join Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Sami Winc as they discuss a CIA whistleblower saying there were payoffs made to hide the origin of Covid, Chuck Grassley warning the GOP about their desire to defund the FBI, the loss of an F-35 fighter jet, the latest in the Russell Brand drama, the historical background of […]
VDH UltraThe Origins of the Biden Disaster. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson In a much-heralded Washington Post column, David Ignatius recently called for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris not to run again. But to justify such a Draconian call, he first reviewed their tenures and concluded of Joe, “In sum, he has been a successful and effective president.” Consider the logic: the more successful […]
The Polish Perspective on Ukraine and Gender Chaos in Ukraine
Join Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Sami Winc as they look at the news and discuss Polish President Andrzej Duda’s take on Ukraine, Attorney General Merrick Garland’s testimony on Capitol Hill, Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers filing suit against his parents, Ukraine hiring a trans activist as a PR person and new legislation in Pennsylvania to […]
Targeting the Middle Class and Our Political Circus
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about the IRS targeting the middle class, the new US border is northern Texas, illegal immigration, AOC’s “spouse” getting perks, pornhustling candidate for the Virginia legislature, Manchin the artifact, and appeasing Iran.
Our Self-Induced Catastrophe at the Border
Since early 2021 we have witnessed somewhere between 7 and 8 million illegal entries across the now nonexistent U.S. southern border. The more the border vanished, the more federal immigration law was rendered inert, and the more Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas spun fantasies that the “border is secure.” He is now written off as a […]
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Nine: “The Pack” Continued.
Victor Davis Hanson At that last dare, in the style of my dad, I began firing everyone over the next hour. José their patriarch? “You are fired.” Herlinda? “You’re fired too.” The boyfriend, “You’re out.” The daughter and son, ditto. I had turned from an unemployed Classical language Ph.D. failure into a stark raving madman […]
It’s All Political
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler as they look at Hunter’s indictment, Joe’s administrative record and Bidenomics, thoughts on GOP retaliation, looking at senators, and Newsom’s California.
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Eight: “The Pack”
Victor Davis Hanson It was now 1976. My grandfather died suddenly in the bed where he was born in 1890, in the room of his grandmother’s and where I sleep today nearly a half-century later. His departure left my 86-year-old grandmother and Lila alone in the big house—and no one to run the ranch. My […]
How Biden Will Circle the Wagons?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The strategies of saving the Biden presidency from an impeachment and a Senate trial despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption are starting to emerge. The Family is confronted with damning evidence from the laptop, from the testimonies of Hunter’s business associates Bobulinksi and Archer, from Ukrainian oligarchs and Viktor Shokin, […]
Fighting the Korean War
Join the weekend edition with Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc to hear about the history of the Korean War, tales of the hired hands on the ranch, and some current politics.
VDH UltraStrange and Dangerous People of the American Outback. Part Seven: Hilario
Victor Davis Hanson Hilario was different altogether from either Burt or Rodrigo. He reminds me even today, nearly a half-century later of Mapache (“thief”) of The Wild Bunch, played by the illustrious Mexican actor Emilio “El Indio” Fernández—an admittedly brave general, but crazy, corrupt, a drunk—and unpredictable. For that matter, as I look back now, […]
