  • The Truth About World War II, Henry Ford’s Controversial Past, and America’s Atomic Decisions

    The Truth About World War II, Henry Ford’s Controversial Past, and America’s Atomic Decisions
    Oct 16 2026
    What was America’s plan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc dive into the final days of World War II and questions about whether the United States came close to deploying additional nuclear weapons. In today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor and Sami dive into many historical topics, from World War II to Henry Ford, and current discussions such as the tensions between the U.S. and Canada and updates on the Iran war. They explore Henry Ford’s connections to Nazi Germany, the heroism of American soldiers during World War II, and the competing military strategies of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Adm. Chester Nimitz in the Pacific. Hanson also criticizes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over escalating tensions with President Donald Trump, warning that Canada's trade policies, growing relationship with China, and dependence on American military protection could have serious economic and national security consequences. The episode also examines the ongoing Iran war, rising gas prices, and Europe's reluctance to support American military operations. Hanson warns of the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran and questions the long-term consequences of the conflict for global energy markets.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Ilhan Omar Wants Accountability—Until It Knocks on Her Door

    Victor Davis Hanson: Ilhan Omar Wants Accountability—Until It Knocks on Her Door
    Oct 15 2026
    A college professor allegedly poses as a MAGA supporter to threaten and harass a Jewish colleague, raising alarming questions about rising antisemitism on America's elite college campuses. Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler examine these disturbing allegations on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” arguing that antisemitism is becoming increasingly tolerated within progressive institutions. They connect the controversy to broader concerns about DEI policies, the political Left’s response to the October 7 Hamas attacks, and growing hostility toward Israel. Hanson criticizes Hamas and its role in the destruction of Gaza, while warning about the dangerous normalization of antisemitic rhetoric in American politics. They examine allegations surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, and accusations of political double standards involving federal investigations. They dive into the ongoing protests in France which seemed to have started over a lack of air conditioning in schools, however, Victor argues these protests are often encouraged by left-wing donors and political organizations, rather than being entirely spontaneous. The episode also turns to Cornell University’s controversial sexual advice amid sexual assault allegations, and the disturbing sexual-health materials being passed out by the university. Who is Guangtian Ha? What happened to Ilhan Omar and why did the Federal government raid her home? All this and more on today’s show.
