Victor Davis Hanson: Iran Isn’t Winning—They’re Just Surviving (And Trump Knows It)

We’re 60 days into the conflict, and President Donald Trump has left the Iranian regime with three options: The non-hard-liners could agree to the United States’ terms and surrender. The regime could continue to try and win token victories—send out small PT boats and drones to attack freighters in the Strait of Hormuz. Delay negotiations in the hopes that a more friendly Democratic administration comes to power in 2028, offering the theocrats more favorable terms, predicts Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Winning the War, Fighting the Swamp: Trump’s Toughest Battle Isn’t Iran | Victor Davis Hanson

Will the 360-degree pressures that surround President Donald Trump force him to stop short of dealing the final death blow to the Iranian regime? I hope not. Why, after Iran has been militarily destroyed and has a restive population that could rebel any minute now, does Iran keep saying that it’s winning, and why do people put pressure on Donald Trump as if he’s losing? The answer is that war is not necessarily just about military affairs alone—it’s politics, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” (00:00) War Status and Blockade (01:48) Midterms and War Powers Pressure (03:35) Europe and Fringe Opposition (05:59) Weapons Shortages and Strategy (06:35) Politics Decide the Endgame 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Victor Davis Hanson: Why the Left Won’t Admit America Is Still Dominating the World at 250 Years Old

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the nation’s unmatched economic, cultural, and military dominance remains clear on the global stage. The enduring strength of the Constitution, a merit-based society, and a tradition of innovation have fueled a level of success few nations have ever achieved. But growing debt, declining birth rates, and shifting cultural values raise serious questions about long-term stability. The future of American greatness may depend on whether the country can preserve the principles that made it exceptional in the first place, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

How Obama, Biden Made Iran Believe It Could Take On the Whole World | Victor Davis Hanson

Within a matter of weeks, Iran’s ability to wage war has been rendered inert by American and Israeli forces. Over the course of seven U.S. presidencies, Iran—the most populous Middle Eastern country—developed a self-inflated view of itself. But why? Whether through the Biden-backed Iran nuclear deal or Barack Obama’s “creative tension” approach to Middle East conflicts, numerous U.S. administrations gave the Iranian regime the impression that the Western world was afraid of them. Then Trump called their bluff, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” (00:00) Iran War Status Check (01:12) How Tehran Misread Obama Biden (03:23) Myth of Iranian Invincibility (05:12) October 7 Changed Israel (06:37) Negotiations and Endgame 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

The California Governor Debate: “The Democrats Had No Solutions” | Drew Allen

The California gubernatorial debate went exactly how you would expect. Democrats deflecting blame and re-running the same tired talking points instead of offering real solutions to California’s mounting list of problems. Climate sermons from private jet flyers, tax the rich rhetoric from billionaires, and homelessness solutions from leaders of failed cities who still think more government is the answer, all while blaming Donald Trump for nearly everything. And not a SINGLE mention of the rampant fraud in the state from the Democrats. Yet another reminder of why so many voters feel frustrated with the direction of the state. 👉For more videos like this, subscribe to The Daily Signal’s YouTube channel and enable notifications to be alerted the second a new video drops: https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1 Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson: They Said ‘Forever War’—Reality Says Trump Just Crushed Iran in 5 Weeks

The legacy media, the so-called anti-MAGA Right, and the Democrat grandees in Congress have two things in common: They never wanted the U.S.-Iran war to go in America’s favor. Many of the critiques of Operation Epic Fury were not historically empirical, meaning they didn’t compare the ongoing conflict with Iran to past U.S. wars, such as the bombing campaign in Serbia or even the war in Afghanistan. But the evidence—in five weeks alone, the United States, with the Israeli Air Force, wiped out most of the top echelon of the four ruling cliques in the Iranian nation—was there, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words”: “We’ve never taken on a country of 93 million people that had the most fearsome, terrible reputation of being dangerous and unpredictable, and running the Middle East with a ring-of-fire proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon—indomitable. They had terrified seven presidents. And yet, in five weeks, we destroyed its ability to make war.”(00:00) Media and Right-Wing Doom (01:09) Demanding Data, Not Spin (02:18) Iran Leadership in Chaos (05:52) Three-Phase War Strategy (07:29) Hormuz Gambit Backfires (10:27) Endgame and Final Warning 👉 The Daily Signal cannot continue to tell stories, like this one, without the support of our viewers: http://dailysignal.com/donate 👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest short videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Iran Rejects Ceasefire Amid Bankruptcy, Another Democrat Resigns, SPLC Indicted

Enjoy the show? Consider leaving a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/sa/podcast/the-tony-kinnett-cast/id1714879044 The Iranian regime is in disarray as several members of the diplomatic delegation go to Islamabad, some stay behind, the president of Iran says one thing, and a major general from the IRGC says something else. The cracks grow bigger as Senator Chris Murphy is mocked for appearing to support the Iranian regime's propaganda about boat passage through the strait of Hormuz... which is immediately debunked. Rob Bluey joins us to discuss what the rest of the Senate is doing, and to analyze the chances we see the government reopen fully by the beginning of the summer travel season. Tyler O'Neil joins us to cover the breaking news on the SPLC indictment. ALSO: Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigns from Congress, the latest Democrat in the House to do so. Will resigning make the charges of defrauding FEMA to line her own pockets go away? Nope. More as news develops!

Victor Davis Hanson: Anti-MAGA Right Knows Iran Campaign Is No Forever War

Operation Epic Fury was never the pretext for a larger, endless war, and the so-called anti-MAGA right—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, or Marjorie Taylor Greene—should know better than to label it as such, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” The whole subtext of the Iran campaign is this: While regime change is not the primary agenda, America’s weakening of the regime may spur people to rise up and overthrow the government.
