Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

Socialists are lying to the American people about their backgrounds.

Despite the propaganda they pander to the masses, Democratic Socialists are elites, argue Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc dive into the results of Tuesday's primary elections in Michigan. They argue the Democrat Party is increasingly divided between establishment figures and democratic socialists, discussing radical candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed and Francesca Hong, while examining the broader ideological direction of the party.

They also discuss the challenges of progressive governance, including New York City's proposed government-run grocery stores, the rising cost of universal childcare plans, and Los Angeles' growing public health problems related to homelessness.

This episode also discusses the plagiarism scandal surrounding a Cambridge University professor, discussing the fall of standards in modern academia. This episode concludes with a discussion of reports that retired U.S. military leaders participated in a Chinese-backed dialogue initiative, raising concerns about national security and the role of retired military officials.

Coaches can’t even say that biological men shouldn’t be in women’s sports?

In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss America’s military readiness, the lessons of World War II’s massive industrial buildup, and why the United States needs to rapidly rebuild its weapons production.

They discuss the growing use of Flock surveillance cameras, warning that the technology can track vehicles, identify people, and record movements, raising serious Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns. Increasingly sophisticated surveillance is troubling when the criminal justice system is simultaneously failing to adequately punish criminals.

The episode also examines the WNBA’s ongoing cultural battles, including Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham’s differing responses to the question of transgender athletes in women’s sports, and the continued ideological hostility toward two of the league’s biggest stars.

The episode also praises Tuskegee University’s new dress code and a broader discussion about discipline, professionalism, and the decline of traditional standards in American society.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey impresses with spectacular visuals; but it misses the heart of Homer's epic, argues Victor Davis Hanson.

On today's edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words, Hanson explores the historical origins of The Odyssey, explaining how the poem blends Mycenaean history, Greek mythology, and oral tradition into one of Western civilization's foundational works. He then critiques Nolan's adaptation, praising its technical achievements while arguing that changes to key characters, themes, and mythology fundamentally alter Homer's original story.

The conversation then turns to two transformative American presidents, Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan. Hanson examines Jackson's populism, expansion of executive power, and enduring legacy, before reflecting on Reagan's rise from California governor to president, his economic agenda, and why he became one of the defining conservative leaders of the twentieth century.
