Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

Pennsylvania is “tied to the American story.” It’s the state that gave power to both the first and second industrial revolutions, saved the union at Gettysburg, and hosted the Constitutional convention. In this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” guest host Jack Fowler speaks with Andrew Lewis, Iraq war veteran and president of the Commonwealth Foundation, about why Pennsylvania matters nationally and how state-based think tanks turn free-market ideas into laws. Lewis highlights Pennsylvania’s historic role, its position atop the Marcellus and Utica Shale, and the opportunities from being a major electricity exporter, while warning that renewable mandates can threaten grid reliability and affordability, citing New York’s higher costs and Spain’s blackout. He critiques Governor Josh Shapiro’s “Lightning” plan to raise renewable requirements and discusses Commonwealth’s policy focus areas, including energy, taxes and spending, regulatory reform, and union reform.  We hope you enjoy! 👉America is worth preserving.

In the early hours of Saturday, Feb. 28, the United States, at the direction of President Donald Trump, and in close coordination with Israeli allies, initiated Operation Epic Fury against the Iranian regime. Within 24 hours, more than 1,000 sites were hit and the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, was dead following an Israeli strike in Tehran, the capital. The question remains: What’s next? 👉America is worth preserving.

Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech of his second term was long as it was a ‘good slice of Americana,’ argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” with Sami Winc. The images of Democrats sinking into their chairs as Trump praised the USA Men’s Hockey Team and memorialized the horrific murder to Iryna Zarutska further showed the nation that the party of FDR and Clinton is now occupied by such “a sad group of people” with contorted faces. 👉America is worth preserving.

Is your white privilege giving you anxiety? Obviously, no. But for America’s mental health professionals, the answer is increasingly becoming “yes.” “Activist therapists,” Andrew Hartz, Ph.D., founder, president, and executive director of the Open Therapy Institute, are products of a culture that puts race at the center of nearly therapy sessions, and liken whiteness to a "parasitic condition.”Dr. Hartz joins today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” (alas, no Victor) to discuss the sharp politicization of clinical psychology training and the implications it’s having on the wellbeing of everyday Americans. 👉America is worth preserving.

Education is “inherently a historical project” because it’s the generational passing down of culture.  This “transmission of culture,” or classical liberal education, has been eroded over the past century, however, explains Andrew Zwerneman, president of Cana Academy, when he joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “The first major assault came with the progressivist movement which increasingly divorced education from religion and increasingly made education a matter of utility. So students weren’t learning what they had inherited. They were learning for the immediate problem before them.” 👉America is worth preserving.

Sports is the “public arena of the difference of the sexes,” so it’s crucial “to assert biological reality,” especially in an era where biological men have been allowed to compete in women’s sports.   With women comprising “50% of the population,” celebrating “what women are capable of, independent of men,” is important, explains Kim Jones, co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, when she joined Jack Fowler on today’s episode of “Victor Davis: In His Own Words.” “We do not have to be afraid to call men or to point out where something is wrong or where women’s rights are impacted. It’s a 90–10 issue. The small number on the other side are very loud, but as soon as we shed that fear and stand on the truth, the culture shifts.” 👉Go to My Patriot Supply to see exclusive offers!

The “Glib Barristia” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., ignorance of world affairs was one full display for the world to see at the Munich Security Conference last week. But why did she even go in the first place? Elections, says Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”Hanson and Jack Fowler also discuss California's ongoing billionaire exodus, which, by some estimates, has already cost the Gold State over a trillion dollars in potential revenue. 👉America is worth preserving.

Truckers went from being revered in pop culture as the archetype of the “last American cowboy” in the 1970s and ’80s to teetering on the edge of irrelevance today. Why has the perception of the trucking industry by the American public “gone completely down the toilet”? There are many reasons the rugged individualists of yesteryear have fallen from glory, but chief among them may be staring us right in the face: cheap foreign labor, explains Gord Magill, author of the forthcoming “End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers,” on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”👉Tap water in the United States often contains a variety of harmful contaminants that pose significant health risks.

Without a free market, the U.S. would not have “liberty,” “prosperity,” or “economic growth.”   Young religious people who are not on the left used to support free markets “by default,” but that’s no longer the case, explains Mark Tooley, president of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. He joined Jack Fowler on this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” to discuss the issue. “Several years ago, I led a book study for some of our interns. … We read ‘The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism’ by Michael Novak, a wonderful book … explaining the spirituality and morality of capitalism. And they were not persuaded. … So again, even with Christian young people, Catholic or Protestant, you have to explain what free markets are and what the moral basis is for them.” 👉America is worth preserving.

There might not be “a whole [Epstein] list” like U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have said.   Victor Davis Hanson returns for another episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” where he explains why he thinks Jeffrey Epstein “was too clever” to ever leave behind “a notebook” or “incriminating tapes with sex.”   “I don’t think he had anything. And I don’t think that [Donald] Trump will pardon [Ghislaine] Maxwell. I think she’s going to sit there [prison] the rest of her life.”   Additionally, Hanson weighs in on the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing 84-year-old mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, as well as the Winter Olympics taking place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. 👉America is worth preserving.

Mass migration isn’t just a policy debate; it’s a power struggle with global stakes.Bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” lays out his thesis that mass migration isn’t just a humanitarian or economic issue, but also a strategic tool foreign powers use to reshape American politics.“It’s not a network in the sense that they are working together. It’s a confluence of interests. Mexico, China, the Muslim Brotherhood—they all have different goals, but they share a common goal: They want to diminish the United States and extend their interests.”   👉America is worth preserving.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance this past Sunday has the country split on whether or not it presented a message of unity or division. And the decision to hand him the stage traces back to an unexpected source: a close ally of Barack Obama. That’s right. Few fans realize that rapper Jay-Z has been quietly steering the Super Bowl’s halftime lineup for the past several years. According to Victor Davis Hanson, one thing is certain: when Jay-Z is in charge, viewers can expect “an elaborate set with shooting lights and all kinds of crazy stuff”—a spectacle he calls a “crutch for the lack of talent.”   Victor Davis Hanson returns for another episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” where he breaks down Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny’s controversial halftime performance and what it really says about the direction of America’s biggest stage. “This is a Neronian Roman circus… I see folk singers that used to come there [the Super Bowl], I saw country western [singers.] I had no problem with any of them. Leftwing, rightwing, I enjoyed it. But when you put Jay-Z in charge of the halftime show… we know what it is now.” 👉America is worth preserving.

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments last November about whether President Trump exceeded his executive authority by imposing what some are calling “sweeping, worldwide tariffs” in Learning Resources Inc. v.

Alex Tarascio, a pollster at Cygnal, a political polling firm, explains that when these young men “talk about their biggest problems, the problems they identify are problems that they can change.” “If you say, ‘Paying my bills,’ that’s a hard problem, [but] that’s not a problem that you can change super easily.
