Trump’s Iran Gamble, Britain’s Grooming Gang Scandal, and California’s Decline | Victor Davis Hanson
6/19/20261 hr 24 min
Mamdani and the Left’s love for billionaires and the hypocrisy within the Democratic Party, Donald Trump’s reported Iran agreement sparks fierce debate on the right, and J.D. Vance takes the lead defending the administration’s strategy in a series of high-profile media appearances.
Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc start by breaking down the emerging Iran deal. Next they dive into the topic of Britain, where a major report on the grooming gang scandal details years of abuse targeting vulnerable young girls and institutional failures to stop it. The conversation also examines rising antisemitism in Britain and the United States, protests targeting Jewish institutions, and what Hanson sees as a broader collapse of law enforcement in the West.
Finally, they discuss an alleged FBI-disrupted drone and sniper assassination plot targeting President Trump and other public figures, warning that our increasingly extreme political rhetoric in this country has created a dangerous climate that promotes political violence. The episode closes off with a look at Gavin Newsom’s complaints about federal investigations, California politics, and the challenges facing the Golden State.

Look at Mondami. Did he ever really have a job until he was 35? Maybe one term in the state legislature. He was a rap singer for a while. Spoiled little guy. His dad was an endowed professor at Columbia. Three biggest poster people in politics for the left, for socialism, is Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. None of these people are poor. They're not victims of capitalism. They're all people who feel that their own ideology will be very destructive to other people but will not ever touch themselves. They love billionaires. They love billionaires.
