VDH: This July 4th, We Remember the Fallen
VDH: This July 4th, We Remember the Fallen A year and two months after the first shots of the American Revolution were fired at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the 13 American colonies declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. Whether ridding the continent of British influence following the revolution, or coming to their aid during both World Wars, over 1 million soldiers have perished fighting to “protect the ideas of the American Revolution and the United States itself.” “And on this July 4th, we need to give them a due. And remember what they did, who they were, and why they did it,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on this July 4 edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH: Zohran Mamdani Is Dusting Off the Old Socialist Playbook. He Hopes No One Will Notice
New York City Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani tells his supporters he wants to “turn the page in New York City” with a fresh new agenda. However, there’s nothing new about what Mamdani is proposing. In fact, his socialist policies are quite old. “City-owned grocery stores?” It’s called a co-op and California had plenty in the 1970s until people began to notice that their produce was no better than Safeways. “Freezing the rent?” Owners of rent-stabilized properties in the Bronx lose an average of $120 per month on each apartment, resulting in 200,000 severely rundown apartment units, according to Mark Willis, a senior policy fellow at NYU’s Furman Center on Real Estate. “Fast, fare free buses” won’t work while people are jumping the turnstiles and using the subway for free, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

VDH: Donald Trump’s ‘Astoundingly Successful’ June Will Soon Come With Its Own Challenges
Donald Trump had one of the best Junes of any modern president. U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded the lowest number of illegal aliens crossing the southern border, ever. His tariff policies did not collapse the economy. In fact, the stock market is nearing record highs. Iran’s nuclear program was severely weakened without 30,000 people having to die in another endless war. However, for every victory, there is another impending challenge President Trump will have to grapple with argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “Bottom line: Donald Trump's going to have to decide, when countries come to him and say, "We'll run a deficit with you, we will have symmetrical tariffs," or, "We'll have no tariffs," is he going to take that or not? If Iran violates the ceasefire—and to what degree that would be true I don't know, but if we see trucks going into these enrichment sites or we find evidence of a new one, he's going to have to act and deal with a fallout. And then, of course, on the border, it's not going to be a problem of new illegal aliens. It's not going to be a problem of the 12 million that Joe Biden let in. But there will be some people that he'll have to decide, and I think it would be wise for them to have to pay a fine, get a green card, continue working, stay off social services, stay crime-free, and become a valuable green card holder.” 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

Virginia GOP Unites: Reid, Earle-Sears, and Miyares Launch Joint Campaign
bonusPolitics, the concept not the American spectator sport, comes from Ancient Greek politiká or 'affairs of the cities' and is defined as “a set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups.” Little is known about the lead up to the July First joint rally of Virginia’s three state-wide candidates, Winsome Earle-Sears the nominee for Governor, John Reid for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General Jason Miyares running for re-election. Many insiders expressed concern over the media coverage of allegations of scandalous photographs or the nation-wide coverage that Reid was a gay would put a rift in the party. However, one thing is sure, after rally after rally of standing room only crowds, the former George Allen aide proved that he had learned well from the former Senator and Governor how to focus on the positives ahead of them as he sits down with us on the eve of this kickoff rally.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.
Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond. Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration. Despite these verifiable results, Victor Davis Hanson argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance. “You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Canada and Mexico Want U.S. Billions—But Also a Fight
With the U.S.' northern neighbor at bay, for now, Americans should turn their attention to the south, where Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum continues to criticize proposed remittance taxes while defending illegal immigration and even weighing in on U.S. civil unrest. Why the hostility? On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson asks the question: Why are our supposed “partners” adding fuel to the fire in a time of instability? “ This is the killer. They're going to enforce the law all the way back to 2022. … There's $9 trillion of market capitalization in Silicon Valley. But the idea that they're going to be gouged for $2 or $3 billion right in the middle of these heated discussions. “ They are playing with fire. I have a solution.

Getting Put on the SPLC's 'Hate Map' Is Just One More Cancel Culture Attack for Focus on the Family | Jim Daly
When the Southern Poverty Law Center put Focus on the Family on its "hate map," listing the conservative Christian nonprofit alongside chapters of the Ku Klux Klan, it made life a bit tougher, but the Christian group had already faced so many "cancel culture" attacks, it was ready for the blowback. "We are Christians, we're commanded to love people that don't think the way we think, we're commanded to endure evil patiently, which I feel that this is one of these exercises," Focus on the Family President Jim Daly told The Daily Signal. The SPLC, which gained its reputation for suing Klan groups into bankruptcy in the 1980s but now puts mainstream conservative and Christian groups on the "hate map" with Klan chapters, branded Focus on the Family an "anti-LGBTQ+ hate group" last month. As I noted in my book, "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," the SPLC claims America is more hateful than it actually is, partly to raise money and partly to silence its political opponents.

First Intel Reports Are ‘Almost Always Wrong.’ That Same Is True of Iran Strike | Victoria Coates
Preliminary reports following U.S. military operations are standard, and “almost always wrong,” according to President Donald Trump’s former deputy national security advisor. The effectiveness of U.S. strikes on Iran’s three primary nuclear facilities was called into question following reporting from CNN and The New York Times that was based on a leaked initial Defense Intelligence Agency report that suggested the strikes only set Iran’s nuclear program back several months. Initial reports are “in real time,” Victoria Coates, who served in Trump’s first term and is currently the vice president of the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal, adding, such reports, as was the case with the leaked Defense Intelligence Agency report, are “expressed with low confidence.” Subscribe to The Tony Kinnett Cast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tony-kinnett-cast/id1714879044 Keep Up With The Daily Signal Sign up for our email newsletters: https://www.dailysignal.com/email Subscribe to our other shows: Problematic Women: https://www.dailysignal.com/problematic-women Victor Davis Hanson: https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327 Follow The Daily Signal: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/ Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Thanks for making The Daily Signal Podcast your trusted source for the day’s top news.

Victor Davis Hanson: 128 Democrats Reject Latest Trump Impeachment—Here’s The Major Reason Why
The same Democrats who turned a blind eye when Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in a single year are now clutching their pearls over Trump’s targeted strike on Iran. Hanson breaks this down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Barack Obama, in the single year, 2016, he dropped 26,000 bombs. And it wasn't just in Syria. It wasn't just in Iraq. It wasn't just in Afghanistan. He dropped them in Libya. He dropped them in Somalia. He dropped them in Yemen. 26,000 bombs. And they all had one thing in common. He didn't think he had to go to the Congress to ask permission. “ All they're doing is saying, 'If Donald Trump does something, we are going to be irate. We're going to use pornography. We're going to use smuddy language. And we're going to oppose him. And now, we're going to impeach him.' And some people in that party said, 'This is so unhinged. It's so contradictory. It's so paradoxical. It's so hypocritical.'” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

High Stakes for High Tech: Virginia’s Data Center Controversy

However, as we laid out in our June 10th column, it’s the politicians that put us in this pickle and they are the ones we will need to get us out of it.

It Doesn’t Matter if Iran Can Build a Bomb. It Matters if America Has the Guts To Bomb Them, Again
Leaked defense intelligence documents obtained by CNN allege that last Saturday night’s strike against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure only set the country’s nuclear program back a few months. However, the CIA reported this week that it would take “years” for Iran to rebuild its nuclear capabilities. Bottom line: It doesn’t matter how long it takes Iran to rebuild its nuclear weapon’s program. What matters is will the next presidential administration have the courage to take the Iranian threat serious and bomb them, again, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Racism Rebranded: The Hidden Bias of 'Anti-Racism' Against Asian Americans
bonusRacism is ugly and must be fought. Not a controversial statement, right? What if racism rebranded itself as “anti-racism”? Such is what the Asian-American community is facing and no place has been more of a flash-point for that than Northern Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School For Science And Technology. This prestigious STEM school has been at the center of a battle between the Virginia Department of Education’s “anti-racism” directives from the Terry McAuliffe administration and the Asian-American parents that brought suit because their kids were denied admission. Despite the US Supreme Court passing on their case last year, the Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the allegations. We sit down with Helen Raleigh, a child of Communist China who escaped to the US after coming to America as a college student. Her most recent book is titled “Not Outsiders” and she visited with us at Freedomfest in Palm Springs to talk about the quite racial prejudices the Asian American community faces.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left’s Rage is a Symptom of a Movement in Decline
Their volatile, inconsistent messaging isn’t new. Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the deeper story behind the chaos of how the Democrat Party has surrendered to its most radical base on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The Left knows that they are not polling well. They know that the party's base is controlling their narrative, and they know that that narrative supports issues from transgenderism, to an open border, to lax enforcement of criminal statutes, to something like Kabul, abroad, that has no public support. And they're angry. “ Whatever Donald Trump has done to them—and maybe that will be his lasting legacy—he had the ability to expose what used to be Democrats, as absolutely unhinged and nihilistic.

President Obama Barack did not seek formal congressional authority to bomb Libya in 2011, nor in January 2017, when he ordered B-2 bombers to strike ISIS targets inside the country, one of his last acts as President. President Trump has seemingly quelled the concerned of many on the MAGA Right, making certain that last Saturday’s strike was a ‘designated, finite’ act, and not a pre-requisite for a protracted ground invasion, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “They have concerns that this "America First," MAGA agenda does not want to get into optional wars in the Middle East. But this is not a 1991 preliminary to an invasion, 2003 preliminary to invasion, 2011 preliminary to Gaddafi regime change. This was a designated, finite act. And now it's over with and it's up to Iran to do what it wants. It can either negotiate and become a peaceful presence with peaceful nuclear power or it can continue its terror. But it has no terrorist appendages to hurt us, really. And we'll see.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Has Only One Negotiating Chip Left: Their Survival
On Saturday night, June 22, President Donald Trump’s Operation Midnight Hammer sent a message to Tehran, and the world, that can’t be ignored. Seven Missouri-based B-2 bombers dropped 14 bunker-busting bombs on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, while U.S. Navy vessels launched a barrage of cruise missiles at other strategic nuclear infrastructure. Victor Davis Hanson explains what just happened—and what could come next—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ [Iran] must know that people are angry. That over 50 years, nearly, they spent a trillion dollars subsidizing the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Assad dynasty. And for what? It's all up in smoke. And then they probably lost another trillion dollars, over 50 years, through sanctions and oil embargoes. For what? It's up in smoke. “ Right now the ball is in the court of Iran. Trump has said to them, you can come back and negotiate. But, what would they negotiate over? Their one card was that we have the specter of a nuclear bomb. So, you better come to us and talk. They don't have that anymore. At least not for the foreseeable future. The only negotiable item is whether they survive or not.” (0:00) Trump's Bold Military Move in the Middle East (0:57) Historical Context of U.S. Actions in the Middle East (2:23) Details of the Recent Military Operation (4:34) Potential Repercussions and Future Speculations (5:55) Iran's Next Move and Global Reactions (6:39) Israel and U.S. Stature Post-Operation 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Optimistic, the Realistic, and the Pessimistic Scenarios for Iran
With the Israel-Iran war stretching into its second week, commentators from all sides of the political arena have been delivering their optimistic, pessimistic, and realistic opinions on the conflict. Here are the facts: The war is going in Israel's favor. There’s a 50-50 chance of regime change, but only a 25% chance the new leaders will be better than Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Trump administration might have to intervene but is holding back because it thinks Israel will find a creative way to destroy Iran's underground nuclear facilities on its own, surmises Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Donald Trump is Evil’ Routine Isn’t Going to Cut It Anymore
Victor Davis Hanson: The ‘Donald Trump is Evil’ Routine Isn’t Going to Cut It Anymore We’re living in chaotic times: Theater-wide war in the Middle East, mass “No King” protests in the United States, and a hysterical reaction to President Trump’s deportation efforts. Out of all the strife, Trump’s opponents offer more “incoherent chaos and nihilism” than actual concrete solutions, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “So, we're looking for positive suggestions from the opposition party. All we hear about Iran is that Donald Trump wants to start a theater-wide world war. This is what we're hearing from Democratic senators. No American president has said, “I am willing to negotiate,” more than Donald Trump with the theocracy. “Then we had our own senator here in California, Alex Padilla. He deliberately did not wear his identification. In fact, nobody knows him. I don't know—if I saw Alex Padilla on television, I wouldn't know he was our senator. He's never done anything. But nevertheless, he had no identification. He heard that Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, was going to have a press conference. He barges in. He disrupts it. He tries to make a scene. And what happens? The Secret Service doesn't know who he is either, so they restrain him. And then he becomes a folk hero with his street performance." 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Israel-Iran War Will ‘Be For Naught’ if the Regime, Nuclear Program Survive
Regardless of whether Israel has the capabilities to decimate Iran’s entire nuclear program, or if the United States needs to become further involved in the war and provide Israel with “bunker-buster” bombs, one thing is clear: “If this war should end with the Iranian regime intact and the elements of its nuclear program recoverable, then, in some ways, it will be all for naught,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “It is surreal. If we had this conversation five years ago and I said to you, ‘the Iranian nation—that is huge compared to Israel, 10 times the population—the Iranian nation has lost all control of the Houthi terrorists and they are themselves neutered. Their surrogates in the West Bank, Gaza are neutered. They're gone, Hamas as a fighting force. The formidable, the terrifying Hezbollah cadres, they're inert. ‘“‘There is no Russian presence. It's not a patron. It is not a protector. It's not a power in the Middle East. It's tied down in Ukraine. And Iran itself, the formidable powerhouse of the Middle East that evoked terror all over, has no defenses. “And we're down to a single critical issue… if this war should end with the Iranian regime intact and the elements of its nuclear program recoverable, then, in some ways, it will be all for naught.’” 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

But here's the key: They're very rare. “The Left was supposed to be for gender parity. … And now we're kind of reactionary. We flipped it upside down, where males go around the back, take over women's sports, and essentially, destroy it.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump-Musk Split is a Gift to the Left
After Elon Musk publicly criticized Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” for overspending, a once-productive relationship spiraled into mutual recriminations, accusations, and veiled threats. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the sudden, bizarre, and historically unprecedented rupture between two powerful figures who, until recently, appeared to be allies in reshaping America’s economic and political direction on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ So, what was it all about? People have given all sorts of different explanations. One of them is that the new big, beautiful bill will phase out subsidies for all electric vehicles. And given Tesla’s attacks on—people attacking stations, chargers, dealers, individual drivers, the bad publicity the Democrats ginned up, he can’t afford that right now. … He’s angry about this bill. And then, when Trump sort of brushed it off, he went DEFCON 1. “Elon Musk needs Donald Trump for the space exploration, for a fair shake on his business deals. And Donald Trump is aided by Elon Musk, especially the SpaceX. So, it’s a mutually beneficiary relationship, not just for both of them, but for us, the American people.” 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Has a Message for California Politicians Who Let Rioters Shut Down Clinics
After anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement rioters shut down two Veterans Affairs offices in Los Angeles, the VA secretary criticized the state’s Democrat leaders for prioritizing illegal immigrants over veterans. “Don’t tell me that you’re really overly concerned about veterans if you’re allowing the riots to get to a point where we can’t take care of our veterans,” Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins told The Daily Signal in an interview. Because of the riots, more than 600 veteran appointments were canceled, and the Veterans Affairs Los Angeles Ambulatory Care Center was closed the entire week. The Los Angeles VA Regional Benefit Office is also closed. Amid the riots, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed President Donald Trump for the violence, saying his deployment of National Guard and Marines exacerbated tensions. “They should have looked at this much more in depth and not with a political stance of illegals who come into our country, who fly other flags and claim to be a part of something that frankly, there’s a privilege to be here in this country as a citizen and to other things,” Collins said.

Victor Davis Hanson: Strong Fathers Build Civilizations—Weak Ones Lose Them
In a culture that increasingly downplays masculinity and the traditional family, Hanson calls for a reevaluation of fatherhood—not as an optional accessory, but as a cornerstone of moral courage, responsibility, and strength on today's episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words." “ One of the roles of fathers is to give young children, especially males, a sense of direction. And almost this tragic sense that sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do, but somebody else won't do them, you're going to be in trouble. “To the degree this country will make it, it will be a strong father figure that instructs us how to be masculine. How to be a man. How to protect the weak. How to stand forward and challenge bullies, that prey on the weak and the innocent.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Left is Selling Chaos. America Isn’t Buying.
Despite relentless media attacks on Donald Trump—especially on the economy—polls show a 17-point edge for Trump over Democrats when it comes to economic leadership. Why? Because Americans aren't buying the Left’s hysteria. Victor Davis Hanson exposes the glaring disconnect between elite narratives and what the American people actually believe on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ And yet with all of that bias and prejudicial news reporting, 54% of the American people favored deportation. Not just apprehension. Deportation. “ The criticism of Donald Trump is not resonating with the people. On all those issues he polls favorably. And why is that? I think it’s a disconnect.” 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

Victor Davis Hanson: Ukraine's Blitz Launches War in Dangerous New Direction
After more than three years of bloody stalemate, Ukraine has launched unprecedented strikes deep into Russian territory—destroying nearly a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet and targeting the crucial Kerch Bridge to Crimea. Now, Trump’s peace push may now be stalled—not by Ukraine, but by Putin himself. With over $400 billion in Western aid already spent and millions of lives disrupted, is the war entering a more dangerous phase? Victor Davis Hanson examines this latest development on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ Just when we thought the war might have some type of conciliation or armistice, Ukraine struck in a way that it had never done before and it was very effective. “ There was a drone attack on the Kerch Bridge, that only link, really, that's accessible for easy transport from mainland Russia into the Crimea. It's essential. … It shows you that Ukraine is now kind of having a turtle strategy. It's not going to waste its limited manpower slugging it out. But it's going to use drones and it's going to make over a million of them.” 👉 This episode is sponsored by the Pepperdine School of Public Policy.

Victor Davis Hanson: Joe Biden Dismantled Basic Immigration Law. Now, Americans Are Suffering the Consequences
Victor Davis Hanson: Joe Biden Dismantled Basic Immigration Law. Now, Americans Are Suffering the Consequences California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce basic immigration law within his state “reckless” and “chaotic”, alleging that federal officials were trying to meet an “arbitrary arrest quota.” The Biden administration let in an estimated 12 million illegal aliens into the U.S. ICE would have to deport 8,000 illegal aliens a day to undo the damage done by the previous administration, which is not only unfeasible, but made more difficult by violent obscuration tactics employed by the Left in sanctuary cities, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” “…on a good day, Tom Homan and ICE and the Border Patrol can maybe deport, they find, 800. But Joe Biden let in 10 times that number per day. So, they would have to step up their efforts by a magnitude just to get back to where Joe Biden started. If you let in 12 million people in the space of four years, you're talking about 3 million a year. You're talking 250,000 per month. So, you can see it's 8,000 a day and there's no way that that seems even feasible, even when the Left tries to obstruct that effort with sanctuary cities and district judges who entertain these lawsuits to stop it.” 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
