California is becoming more and more leftist as the last conservatives left leave the state in droves.

The 2026 midterms take center stage on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

Victor Davis Hanson examines Florida’s Democratic Socialist candidates, and argues that the party’s increasingly radical positions could create problems in the general election. The episode dives into the issues in California, including Xavier Becerra’s campaign for Governor, arguing that high taxes, homelessness, crime, poor schools, and the exodus of residents reflect the state’s political decline.

The episode also examines the aftermath of the Iran ceasefire, Iran’s nuclear ambitions and potential escalation before the midterms, along with Saudi Arabia’s growing ties to Turkey and Pakistan.

Hanson also addresses alleged fraud in Minnesota, Keith Ellison’s dispute with Texas over an ICE agent, and the Texas Senate race.

Donald Trump’s unconventional foreign policy has reshaped America’s position abroad, from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to Russia, China, NATO, and the Western Hemisphere. Behind the seemingly chaotic rhetoric is a strategy built around unpredictability, pressure, and forcing both allies and adversaries to reconsider their assumptions about American power.

Blue-state efforts to block the Trump administration from obtaining commercial driver’s license information raise new concerns about illegal immigrants operating commercial trucks and public safety on America’s highways. New York lawmakers’ defense of shoplifting also highlights the consequences of tolerating low-level crime for businesses, consumers, and communities.

Artificial intelligence, drones, robotics, and new weapons are changing the modern battlefield without necessarily changing the fundamental nature of war. Battles over American education are unfolding at the same time, from a controversial California high school mosque trip to disputes over how Western civilization is taught and racial disparities at New York City’s elite Stuyvesant High School.

Trump’s strategy toward Iran, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and declining American support for Israel raise broader questions about the direction of U.S. foreign policy. Plus, a look at William Henry Harrison and Gerald Ford, the political fallout of Watergate, and how the Republican Party evolved from an era of accepting political defeat to Donald Trump’s more confrontational approach.
