  • Victor Davis Hanson: Mark Carney Is Living in a ‘Fantasy’

    Victor Davis Hanson: Mark Carney Is Living in a ‘Fantasy’
    Sep 15 2026
    Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is exposing deeper problems with the country’s economy, immigration system, energy policy, and national defense. Prime Minister Mark Carney is pursuing closer ties with China while Canada remains heavily dependent on the United States for trade and security.A weaker economy, limited defense capabilities, restrictions on Canada’s vast energy resources, and growing tensions with its largest trading partner have left the country with little room for error. Turning toward China and adopting policies modeled after Europe could further strain the U.S.-Canada alliance and leave Canadians paying the price.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Plans to Use the Midterms Against Iran

    Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Plans to Use the Midterms Against Iran
    Sep 14 2026
    Iran mistakenly thinks the November midterms are President Trump's weakness. But Trump plans to use this thinking and the midterms against the Iranian regime. If Trump can end the conflict by his midterm deadline and truly accomplish his objectives, there’s a very good chance it could boost Republicans’ outcome in the November elections. "If you look at the entire situation, the midterms are actually in the interest of Donald Trump and the Iranian dissidents. Donald Trump then has a deadline to which he can bring this thing to a close. He's got seven weeks, and I think that he will be encouraging internal revolt." Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Victor Davis Hanson: How Trump Came Back From Rock Bottom | Midterm Report Ep. 1

    Victor Davis Hanson: How Trump Came Back From Rock Bottom | Midterm Report Ep. 1
    Sep 12 2026
    Welcome to the "Midterm Report," the Daily Signal's new election podcast. Every Saturday between now and Election Day, Rob Bluey breaks down the biggest stories in politics with the interviews, insights, and analysis you won't get from legacy media. On our first episode, pollster Brent Buchanan joins the show to discuss the first-ever RNC Midterm Convention in Dallas, explaining the split inside the GOP base between Trump Republicans and traditional Republicans, and a 26-point enthusiasm gap between them. He walks through why affordability is dominating voter behavior, why only 88% of Trump 2024 voters are committing to a Republican for Congress, why the "socialist" label alone won't win races, and the one number you should actually watch in every poll from now to November. Then, historian Victor Davis Hanson joins us on his brand-new book, "The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement." Hanson explains what "counterrevolution" really means, how Trump's second term targets causes instead of symptoms, and how a man written off after Jan. 6 mounted what he calls the greatest political comeback in modern American history. He also compares Trump to Reagan, walks through the lawfare and debanking years, explains how Trump won on class instead of race, and gives his odds for the House and Senate this November.
