Victor Davis Hanson: The Left Was Willing to Break the Law Just to Destroy Trump​

Victor Davis Hanson examines Iran’s nuclear ambitions and Trump’s strategy toward the regime, the political stakes of the 2026 midterms, and the growing influence of Caitlin Clark on the WNBA, on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Hanson and Jack Fowler also discuss Trump’s tensions with Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, arguing that Canada’s economic, immigration, and defense policies are increasingly at odds with the United States.

The episode also dives into New York politics, highlighting Letitia James’ pursuit of Donald Trump and his associates. Hanson discusses how Trump’s legal battles revealed a broader politicization of the FBI, CIA, IRS, and other institutions, and warns that the Left’s “victim-victimizer” worldview has created a system of political and cultural double standards.
