As debate continues over President Trump’s handling of Iran, some foreign policy allies are beginning to question whether the administration is applying enough pressure. Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on those criticisms, arguing that Iran has been dramatically weakened economically and militarily, while warning that any agreement should be approached with skepticism. Hanson also reflects on the passing of acclaimed historian Gordon Wood, examines the growing crisis in higher education as professors slash academic standards to accommodate underprepared students, and discusses California’s recent news with Spencer Pratt and the LA Mayoral race, and ongoing struggles with elections, and population loss.

Always appreciate Dr. Hanson’s clear and concise explanations with deep historical references and reflections! The adage used to be, “As California goes, so goes the Republic,” so I would love to hear if VDH’s crystal ball shows any clarity on that adage now being defunct with the “critical mass” reference he gave with scores of folks leaving CA to pursue a more affordable place to live, do business, and raise a family?
