  • The IRS Leak Scandal, Democrats’ Socialist Takeover, and the ICC’s War on Israel

    The IRS Leak Scandal, Democrats’ Socialist Takeover, and the ICC’s War on Israel
    Jul 24 2026
    An IRS employee who leaked thousands of confidential tax records, non-citizens mistakenly receiving ballots, and Zohran Mamdani's pledge to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu all fuel this week's political firestorm. Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc argue on today's edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words" that these controversies reveal a broader pattern of political weaponization, and the Democratic Party's accelerating shift toward democratic socialism. They discuss how progressive activists have overtaken the Democratic party, including figures like Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, who have been moving further left; despite being wealthy socialist leaders who are increasingly disconnected from working Americans. The episode also examines the International Criminal Court's warrant for Netanyahu, arguing that the ICC has no authority in the United States, and analyzing what these developments could mean for Trump's presidency and the 2026 midterm elections.

    Iran's Military Bluff, Socialist Revival, and World War II Revisionism | Victor Davis Hanson
    Jul 23 2026
    Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler argue that President Trump is leading a political "counter-revolution," seeking to reverse decades of progressive policies on immigration, education, energy, and American history, doing more than any other Republican president. They examine why these efforts have sparked fierce resistance from the political Left and what they could mean for the country's future.The conversation also covers the growing appeal of democratic socialism among younger Americans, the resurgence of historical revisionism, and why the ignorance of the past is fueling today's political and cultural debates. This episode also explores Iran's military threats in the Middle East, Canada's wildfire and healthcare controversies, and what recent changes in military recruitment and merit-based leadership reveal about the direction of the United States and its allies.

    Iran escalates. Trump retaliates. And a New York mayoral candidate wants Netanyahu arrested. Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler unpack the week's biggest geopolitical and political stories on today's edition of "Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words." They discuss the escalating conflict with Iran, Ukraine's evolving strategy against Russia, and why Hanson believes Israel has emerged in a far stronger strategic position than many expected.

Their conversation concludes with Zohran Mamdani's call to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, signaling rising antisemitism on the Left.
