Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words

America’s political and cultural institutions are becoming increasingly centralized, ideological, and disconnected from ordinary citizens. Media organizations, universities, government agencies, and political elites continue accusing opponents of authoritarianism while expanding their own influence over public life, speech, and information.

This phenomenon helps explain California’s political decline, the growing distrust in elite institutions, the use of “fascism” as a political weapon, and why more Americans feel the system is no longer accountable to the people it governs. Questions surrounding healthcare, welfare spending, lawfare, media control, and one party dominance all point back to a broader struggle over power, institutional trust, and the future direction of the country.

Former Democrat turned Trump’s director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, announced her resignation last week, citing her husband’s ongoing battle with bone cancer.

While her time in office was marked by some big America First wins, like declassifications of the Russia collusion hoax documents, it was only a matter of time before Gabbard was brought into the debate brewing over the administration’s ongoing conflict with Iran, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Political dysfunction in California, the collapse of communist regimes, the meaning of Memorial Day, and the importance of the citizen soldier all point back to the same question: what happens when leaders become detached from the people they govern?

Cuba remains impoverished decades after revolution while political elites continue to prosper. California continues to struggle with homelessness, public disorder, and governance questions while national ambitions grow among its leadership. At the same time, debates over fairness, political incentives, and institutional trust continue to reshape public life.

Memorial Day serves as a reminder that America’s military tradition was built around citizen soldiers, ordinary people who returned to the communities and institutions they defended. Strong societies depend not only on economic and military strength, but on civic responsibility, accountability, and citizens who remain invested in preserving what they inherit.

The Arab nations, most namely Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, want the United States to destroy the Iranian regime—they’re just not willing to both say it out loud, and do it themselves, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Kamala Harris floats “no bad ideas” proposals like abolishing the Electoral College and packing the Supreme Court. Democrats only attack rules when out of power, argue Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” 

They connect these trends to broader left-wing efforts to change American institutions, describing Democrats as adolescent and grift-prone, and cite episodes of fraud and hostility toward law enforcement, including Democrats voting against a pro-police resolution. Hanson warns of rising antisemitism on the Left, faults Barack Obama and Democrat leaders for silence, and argues authoritarian impulses come from protected elites rather than Trump. The episode also condemns Stephen Colbert and David Letterman’s on-air property destruction, mocks DEI-driven “whiteness” rhetoric from an Iowa candidate, and closes with reflections on classic war films and Memorial Day programming.
