    Victor Davis Hanson: Mark Carney Is Leading Canada ‘Right Over the Cliff’

    Canada’s growing economic troubles, its escalating trade fight with the United States, and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s turn toward China are putting the country on a dangerous path. Years of weak economic growth, mass immigration, green-energy policies, and underinvestment in defense have left Canada increasingly vulnerable. Carney’s confrontation with the United States could cost Canada millions of jobs and push its already weak economy into recession. At the same time, closer ties with China threaten to drive an even deeper wedge between Canada and its largest trading partner and closest ally.

    Victor Davis Hanson: The Terrifying Power of Artificial Intelligence

    Ukraine, Iran, and the possibility of a major foreign-policy reset remain in focus as the Trump administration works to end the Russia-Ukraine war and Iran potentially waits until after the midterms to pursue a deal. Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc also consider what could follow if Republicans lose the midterms, including the possibility of renewed impeachment efforts, as well as the state of the economy, job growth, and Trump’s use of executive orders. European immigration and integration, growing tensions between the U.S. and Canada, and the presidencies of Zachary Taylor and John F. Kennedy round out the discussion, including Kennedy’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights, and his 1960 presidential campaign. Artificial intelligence presents another major challenge, from the risk of increasingly powerful systems aiding the development of biological weapons and advanced military technology to the consequences of the United States falling behind China in the global AI race.

    Victor Davis Hanson: Why Europe Is Turning Against Mass Immigration

    Europe’s growing backlash against mass immigration, Germany’s recent elections, and anti-migrant protests in Britain highlight mounting tensions over immigration, assimilation, and the continent’s changing demographics. Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler examine the cultural and political consequences of those shifts, along with Colin Kaepernick’s return to the spotlight and his controversial political views. They also look at the declining cultural status of blue-collar work in America, the growing shortage of skilled tradespeople, and the strong wages available in many of those professions. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces controversy surrounding the upcoming 9/11 remembrance ceremony and his decision to hand a ceremonial pen to his chief counsel after signing two 9/11-related executive orders.

    Victor Davis Hanson: Modern ‘Art’ Is Separating Man from Meaning feat. Sculptor Sabin Howard

    America’s Education Crisis, the Left’s Victimhood Culture, and Trump’s Political Comeback | VDH

    The failures of America’s education system, how the Left has erased history, and replaced it with political programming, and more on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler discuss how the failure of the American education system has left the younger generations disconnected from the country’s founding and institutions. They also dive into the Democrats’ shift toward socialism, and the Left’s focus on victimhood and intersectionality. These traits have been shown in their reactions to recent crimes in New York and the Lindsey Clancy case. Hanson also details Donald Trump’s legal and political battles, and highlights the arguments of his new book, The Counter-Revolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement. The episode also examines Gloria Steinem and feminism, relating back to Hanson’s own mother and family. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” has a special limited time offer:  With a monthly donation $28, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=signalelite&utm_content=260820-vdh-book-youtube My Patriot Supply - Visit http://WWW.PREPAREWITHVDH.COM to learn how you can receive over $1,000 in shelf-stable food and preparedness gear FREE!

    Victor Davis Hanson: Democrats Have a Socialist Problem They Can’t Run Away From

    Public sympathy for Lindsay Clancy reflects a broader culture that searches for explanations when women commit horrific acts while increasingly treating men as presumptively guilty or disposable. He contends that these attitudes—combined with years of attacks on masculinity and unequal expectations in relationships and institutions—are helping convince a generation of young men to withdraw from dating, marriage, and family life, argues Victor Davis Hanson on tomorrow’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”Victor Davis Hanson also argues that Democrats increasingly embraced policies once associated with the socialist left, only to watch candidates distance themselves from the socialist label when competing beyond safely Democratic constituencies. He contrasts that political repositioning with Donald Trump’s unapologetic style, arguing that voters may dislike what Trump says but rarely have to wonder whether he actually means it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” has a special limited time offer:  With a monthly donation $28, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=signalelite&utm_content=260820-vdh-book-youtube The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites: Visit https://historicsites.heritage.org/ to start your adventure today.

    Victor Davis Hanson: The Democratic Party Is Unrecognizable

    Iran is facing mounting economic pressure as new sanctions target the regime’s finances, trade, and access to foreign markets. With its currency collapsing, critical supplies running short, and economic pressure continuing to build, a popular uprising against the regime could have major consequences for Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Lebanon, Syria, and the wider Middle East. Mark Carney’s confrontation with Donald Trump comes as Canada struggles with slow economic growth, mass immigration, heavy regulation, and its dependence on the United States for trade and defense. In the United States, the consequences of open-border policies are becoming harder to ignore, while democratic socialism continues to move closer to the center of the Democratic Party. The modern Democratic Party increasingly bears little resemblance to the party of earlier generations as its politics move further toward the activist left.
