Trump’s Middle East Strategy, Britain’s Cover-Up Crisis, and the Fall of California | Victor Davis Hanson

Mamdani and the Left’s love for billionaires and the hypocrisy within the Democratic Party, Donald Trump’s reported Iran agreement sparks fierce debate on the right, and J.D. Vance takes the lead defending the administration’s strategy in a series of high-profile media appearances.

@VDHanson and Sami Winc start by breaking down the emerging Iran deal.

Next they dive into the topic of Britain, where a major report on the grooming gang scandal details years of abuse targeting vulnerable young girls and institutional failures to stop it.

The conversation also examines rising antisemitism in Britain and the United States, protests targeting Jewish institutions, and what Hanson sees as a broader collapse of law enforcement in the West.

Finally, they discuss an alleged FBI-disrupted drone and sniper assassination plot targeting President Trump and other public figures, warning that our increasingly extreme political rhetoric in this country has created a dangerous climate that promotes political violence.

The episode closes off with a look at Gavin Newsom’s complaints about federal investigations, California politics, and the challenges facing the Golden State.

The Rotten Stain on Britain: Rupert Lowe Exposes Keir Starmer’s Two-Tier Justice System

The shocking revelation of widespread institutional cover-ups in the UK highlights a toxic alliance between elite, left-wing globalists and the criminal networks they refuse to prosecute.

Decades of politically correct shielding and administrative failure have systematically stripped protection from working-class communities under the guise of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This dangerous erasure of public accountability serves as an urgent, flashing warning sign for Americans watching the exact same cultural rot creep into their own justice system.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Eat the Rich’ Extortion: The Elite Backstories of the Left's Favorite Radicals

The progressive firebrands lecturing Americans about the evils of capitalism are almost exclusively the products of immense family wealth, elite pedigree, and backroom privilege. From taxpayer-subsidized film grants and luxury lakefront properties to suspicious campaign cash pipelines, their actual lifestyles completely betray their public rhetoric. They eagerly push destructive economic policies designed to bankrupt the working class while ensuring their own fortunes remain completely untouched.

DC voters just chose a DSA socialist for mayor.

LA voters are choosing between a communist-sympathizer and another DSA socialist. In New York, DSA's Zohran Mamdani is already mayor.

The DSA platform: abolish the Senate, defund police, amnesty for all immigrants, nationalize private property, and replace the President and Supreme Court with bodies subordinate to Congress.

A fifth of DC is on food stamps. 40% are on Medicaid. One party has run these cities for decades.

Daveigh Chase—the voice of Disney’s Lilo and the girl from “The Ring”—died June 17 on LA’s Skid Row. She was 35. She had millions in unclaimed residuals sitting in accounts she was too far gone on fentanyl to access.

Her manager and family hired a private investigator months ago. They raced to intervene. They were too late.

She had the money, the connections, the people who loved her—everything progressives say the homeless lack.

California’s harm reduction policies didn’t save her. They sustained the spiral until her body gave out.

Paying 58% in Taxes to Be Insulted? No Wonder Wealthy Americans Are Fleeing California

Wealthy people who paid the bills are leaving California, and the people who are coming are the recipients of programs funded by that same money.

Add it all up, and we're in a doom loop.

Sec. @PeteHegseth just announced a 6-month review of U.S. forces and funding in Europe as part of the Trump admin's push for "NATO 3.0."

The goal: shift American troops and resources toward the Pacific to deter China—while pushing European allies to finally carry their own weight.

Poland, the Baltic states, and Germany are stepping up. Spain and much of Southern Europe are not.

Victor Davis Hanson: The UK's Immigration Crisis Is Spiraling Out Of Control

As protests spread across parts of the United Kingdom, Victor Davis Hanson argues that a growing divide has emerged between political leaders and the people they govern.

Hanson discusses immigration, crime, cultural integration, and the reaction of government officials, explaining why many Europeans believe their concerns are being ignored. If leaders continue to dismiss public frustration, political backlash across Europe will only continue to grow.

Victor Davis Hanson: How Trump Should Enforce His Memorandum with Iran

The key to all this memorandum of understanding is, will Trump use force when they inevitably cheat?

So a week from now, if they think, "Well, we got a lot of concessions. We're going to send three missiles into the hated UAE, and we're going to send a couple more into Kuwait.” And if Trump says, "Oh, that was just a love tap," it won't work.

He's got to say, "Okay, you sent three, you're going to lose 10 bridges. You sent three against Kuwait, you're going to lose a power grid." He hasn't done that yet, argues Victor Davis Hanson on tomorrow’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

As America turns 250, it's worth asking: why has this nation been so exceptional?

The Founders weren't shy about the answer.

Connecticut Gov. Jonathan Trumbull called for a day of fasting and prayer on April 19, 1775—the very day the shot heard 'round the world was fired at Lexington and Concord.

When Benedict Arnold's plot to betray West Point was foiled, Washington credited God: "The Providential train of circumstances which led to it affords the most convincing proof that the liberties of America are the object of Divine protection."

.@VP installed a chicken coop at the Naval Observatory—and he's far from alone.

Roughly 11 million American households now keep backyard chickens.

Costco is selling co-ops. Hydroponic towers are in the next aisle.

Egg prices spike. Supply chains break. Grocery shelves go empty. And suddenly Americans realize how dependent they've become on systems they don't control—or even understand.

One-third of America's food supply goes uneaten.

DC's incoming socialist mayor Janeese Lewis George opposed crime bills in 2023, voted against letting landlords evict potentially violent tenants, and refuses to implement youth curfews to stop the teen takeovers that have been terrorizing the city.

Her solution to teen mob violence: "Investing more in safe spaces and activities for teenagers."

Her solution to ICE? "These individuals are not trained in de-escalation."

Trump deployed the National Guard to DC in 2025 and crime dropped, but she wants them gone.

A Sudanese asylum seeker blinded an Irishman in one eye. Belfast erupted in riots. 62 fire incidents in a single night. 27 people left homeless.

The media's framing?

"Anti-immigrant violence."
"Far-right protesters."
"Racist riots."

PM Keir Starmer called the stabbing "sickening"—then devoted considerably more energy to warning that "violence against people based on their background would not be tolerated."

"The press's failure is more insidious: It's the deliberate suppression of honest inquiry into cause and effect... The question goes unasked, the fateful underlying policies go unexamined, and the pressure cooker keeps building," writes @josh_hammer.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine—who co-sponsored the bill reinstating the death penalty in 1981—just announced he now wants it abolished.

Ohio Republicans aren't having it.

"The General Assembly has already spoken: capital punishment is the law. The 'onus' is on the executive branch to carry it out and enforce it," State Rep. Brian Stewart.

The last execution in Ohio was in 2018.

DeWine paused all executions in 2019. The next one is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2027—the day after he leaves office.

Both the Republican and Democrat candidates to replace him support keeping the death penalty.

BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street collectively own about one-quarter of the U.S. stock market and are the largest single shareholder in roughly 90% of S&P 500 companies.

For years, they used that power to push ESG and DEI on American businesses.

They've backed off—for now.

But as the Bull Moose Project warns: "The same biased personnel remain entrenched within the firms' stewardship teams, with the same conviction that they have every right to weaponize their customers' investment dollars to advance radical agendas when the time is ripe."

MLB Will Allow Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence But Not Bible Verses

The MLB condemned three San Francisco Giants players this week after they wrote Bible verses on their caps during a “Pride Night” game.

Again, when it comes to California, the only Christians that baseball teams are allowed to invite are those making a heretical, sexual mockery of nuns.

A Florida appeals court just struck down the state's ban on concealed carry for 18-to-20-year-olds as unconstitutional:

"Eighteen- to 20-year-olds can defend the country without restriction but can only utilize their Second Amendment right to self-defense with severe restrictions."

The court also cited the Militia Act of 1792—which required all able-bodied men to enroll in the militia upon turning 18.

If you're old enough to serve, you're old enough to carry.

The Surgeon General just released a 43-page warning on screen use—and the stats are sobering:

81% of parents and 57% of children spend between 4 and 12 hours a day online.

By adolescence, kids may spend more time on screens than sleeping or in school.

The last time the Surgeon General issued a landmark warning like this—on smoking in 1964—cigarette use fell 73% among adults, preventing an estimated 8 million premature deaths.

This summer, it might be worth taking that seriously.

Kari Lake appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Thursday for her ambassador to Jamaica confirmation hearing.

Sen. Tim Kaine spent his time demanding she apologize for calling Sen. Ruben Gallego "controlled by the cartels" during their 2024 Arizona race.

"I don't believe my charge was wrong," said Lake.

Gallego's own memoir acknowledges his father was arrested for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and marijuana.

Lake lost that race by less than 2.5%.
