Riots across Europe are exposing deep divisions over immigration, assimilation and national identity. From mounting cultural tensions to economic pressures and security concerns, Europe faces difficult questions about its borders, its values and its future. As similar debates intensify in the United States, Europe’s struggles raise serious questions about the consequences of failed integration and what lies ahead for the West.

Socialism is gaining ground in America, particularly among younger voters. But what’s driving its rise, and what could it mean at the ballot box? On this episode of "Midterm Report," Rob Bluey examines the political and economic forces behind the socialist movement with Brooke Medina of State Policy Network and Dr. Charles Steele of Hillsdale College. Medina reveals the dramatic expansion of the Democratic Socialists of America, from just 21 chapters in 2013 to 204 today, including growth in states such as Florida, Texas, and Kansas. She explains how affordability concerns, community organizing, and younger voters are helping fuel the movement an...

Tensions between the United States and its European NATO allies are raising questions about the future of the alliance. From restrictions on U.S. military operations against Iran to unequal defense spending and security commitments, the growing divide highlights the challenges of maintaining a shared defense partnership.

As adversaries use cheap drones to drain America's expensive missile stockpiles, the United States faces a growing challenge in modern warfare. With weapons costing millions of dollars being used to destroy drones worth only a few thousand, the imbalance raises serious questions about America's military readiness. Drawing lessons from World War II, the answer may lie in a renewed focus on mass production, affordable weapons, and the ability to outproduce America's adversaries as global threats continue to grow.

Three years after the October 7 massacre, Gaza lies in ruins. But who is really to blame?

Hamas had every opportunity to build a prosperous Gaza following Israel's withdrawal in 2005. Instead, billions in international aid were diverted, hundreds of miles of tunnels were built, and Palestinian civilians were used as human shields.

Despite repeated opportunities to release Israeli hostages and avoid further destruction, Hamas refused, launching thousands of rockets into Israel.

Now, as accusations of genocide continue against Israel, the history of Gaza and the events surrounding October 7 tell a very different story.

The proposed execution of Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan has sparked controversy over whether the military should carry out the sentence by firing squad and make it public.

Victor Davis Hanson revisits the 2009 massacre that killed 13 American soldiers, criticizing the Obama administration's response, the military's failure to act on warning signs, and the role of political correctness in the aftermath.

Hanson also takes aim at Hillary Clinton for calling the proposed execution barbaric, contrasting her outrage with her role in the U.S. intervention in Libya and her infamous...

Rep. Warren Davidson witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the failures of socialism firsthand. Now, decades later, he's serving in Congress alongside self-described socialists.

Davidson joins Rob Bluey on The Midterm Report to warn about socialism's growing influence in America, the national debt, China's threat to American manufacturing, and alleged abuses of government surveillance powers.

Donald Trump's outrageous demands and confrontational rhetoric may be more calculated than his critics realize.

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down Trump's "art of the deal" strategy, from threats to retake the Panama Canal and acquire Greenland to his pressure campaigns against Canada and NATO. Hanson argues that Trump's willingness to make extreme demands, provoke outrage, and put world leaders on the defensive has helped secure concessions that more conventional presidents couldn't achieve.

Is Trump's abrasive negotiating style a liability, or is it the secret to his success?

Mounting U.S. military pressure and a tightening economic embargo have left Iran’s regime searching for negotiations, political intervention, or any other escape route. Trump’s greatest mistake now would be easing the pressure when the regime may be approaching the point of collapse or losing its ability to wage war through terrorist proxies, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Three years after the October 7 massacre, Victor Davis Hanson looks back at the attack on Israel, Hamas’ preparations for war, and the response that followed.

He breaks down the scale of the assault, the hostages taken, the thousands of rockets fired at Israeli civilians, and the billions of dollars in aid Hamas diverted toward weapons and an enormous tunnel network.

Hanson also asks why so much of the West turned against Israel almost immediately after the attack, and why Israel is now so often portrayed as the aggressor rather than the country that was attacked.

The Cornell 7 case has sparked national outrage against the young “Jane Doe,” the seven accused fraternity brothers, and the larger group chat of men who did nothing to stop the alleged rape.

But who is guilty when all parties are intoxicated and willing? Perhaps the root of the problem is not a legal one.

While debates rage over consent, delayed reporting, and prosecutorial standards, Hanson zeroes in on a simpler, more troubling failure: not one person in that fraternity had the courage to say "this is wrong."

Steve Cortes warns that the United States could repeat Europe’s experience with mass Muslim immigration, pointing to Dearborn, Michigan, and arguing that assimilation and shared American values should play a larger role in immigration policy. He also discusses what he found while reporting in Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin and how immigration could shape major races in the midterms.

Don Palmer also breaks down The Heritage Foundation’s latest Election Integrity Scorecard, including which states have strengthened their election systems and why some states could once again take days or weeks to finalize results. 

Victor Davis Hanson takes on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar over a glaring double standard in their attacks on America.

They condemn the United States and Israel over colonialism, inequality, oppression, and war—but rarely apply that same scrutiny to Uganda, Turkey, Somalia, and the countries they or their families came from.

Hanson’s message is simple: before condemning America, look in the mirror.

Republicans risk repeating George H.W. Bush’s 1992 mistake by allowing Democrats to define a strengthening economy as a crisis, particularly on affordability.

For months now, Democrats have been screaming to the heavens how unaffordable it is to live a comfortable life here in the United States.  But when you actually look at what's happened, it's not true.  The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta reports that in the third quarter, the economy will have grown by 5% GDP.  We just had 160,000 new jobs. New jobs were created in the month of August. The unemployment rate is only 4.2%.

Mark Carney is escalating tensions with the United States, raising the possibility of an American invasion while looking to China and the European Union as alternatives to Canada’s traditional relationship with its closest ally.

Victor Davis Hanson argues that Canada remains deeply dependent on the United States for trade, defense, and economic stability, and that turning away from that relationship will not solve the country’s larger problems. He also looks at Canada’s immigration, energy, defense, and economic policies and how its leaders brought the country to this point.

Iran sits at the center of a rapidly changing global order as military and economic pressure continues to build on the regime. A collapse in Tehran could transform the Middle East and represent one of the most consequential geopolitical shifts since the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Beyond Iran, major changes are unfolding across Russia, China, Latin America, Greenland, and the wider Middle East as the balance of global power continues to shift.

Mass immigration, assimilation, and national identity are reshaping political debates across the West.

Nick Freitas joins “The Midterm Report” to discuss his new documentary, “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West,” which examines how Britain has changed in recent decades and what lessons its experience could hold for the United States.

Freitas argues that one of the quickest ways to destabilize a nation is to give it an identity crisis. Drawing on his travels across the United Kingdom, he discusses immigration, assimilation, cultural differences, and why he believes Americans should pay attention to what is happe...

Tribalism is growing in America and weakening assimilation, unity, and a shared national identity. Social media is accelerating racial and cultural tensions, while DEI, affirmative action, and government policies have deepened division and reinforced identity-based politics.

The melting pot is breaking down as more people are defined by race, ethnicity, and religion rather than those differences being treated as incidental.

Victor Davis Hanson challenges Tucker Carlson to produce evidence that Hanson ever called the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki “glorious,” arguing instead that the weapons were a horrific but necessary means of ending the war and avoiding even greater American, Japanese, and Allied casualties.

With five weeks to go before the midterm elections, the races remain uncertain. Current polling shows Democrats with an advantage in several key contests, but questions remain about polling accuracy, campaign spending, redistricting and the records of individual candidates. Key Senate races in Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Texas, Iowa and Kansas remain competitive, while developments in Iran, gas prices and the broader economy could further reshape the election landscape in the final weeks.

Why are tech CEOs suddenly warning that AI could destroy humanity—while simultaneously opposing liability for the products they create? The history of election-year doomsday scares is abundant, from the 1968 population bomb to nuclear winter in 1984, climate change in 1992, Me Too in 2016, etc.

The midterms are about 50 days away, and Democrats continue to search for ways to gain back control of the House and Senate. Their answer may come from the conflict in Iran. Iran is most likely planning an October surprise of their own to shock Americans and hurt Republicans in the November elections. Democrats are all for it. But will that surprise be enough to give Democrats control of Congress until the end of Trump’s second term?

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...

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.

The fate of 41 million Canadians depends on Mark Carney being successful in his renewed trade war with the United States.

There are quite a few Democratic Socialists running in this year’s midterms, and the outcome of their races could determine the last two years of Trump’s presidency.

Take James Talarico, who is running to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. He has claimed God is nonbinary and that there are six genders, but he openly presents himself as a Christian.

The U.S.-Canada trade war has entered Stage Three—the part where Trump says, “We’re done.”

Trump is done letting Canada run a billion-dollar surplus with the U.S., and he’s making that very clear. If Canada won’t accept fairness and symmetry as the new standard going forward, they may need to find a new business partner.

The other thing to remember about this war is that there are two laws, canons, or protocols that we haven't seen before.

Under no circumstances will there be American troops on the ground, given the misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We will not attack dual-use civilian-military infrastructure if it means inflicting pain on the Iranian people.

I think a good description of 2026, culturally, economically, socially, and politically, is that we are in a modern medieval world.

One part of our society is advancing at lightning speed into the future and progressing. But the other part is regressing, and regressing at a phenomenal pace back to what I would call the medieval period.

America has never been richer, more technologically advanced, or more capable of solving basic problems, yet its cities are increasingly plagued by crime, disease, homelessness, and public disorder, and members of its “progressive” class continue to e...

In a retort to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's refusal of a recent trade deal with the United States, President Trump renamed Lake Ontario to "Lake America." This political renaming of natural landmarks and wonders is not original to Trump. Barack Obama renamed Mount McKinley. Earl Warren's name was stripped from the Legal Institute. Even hundreds of years ago, Romans renamed landmarks. Trump is only reacting to a long tradition, one mostly embarked on by the Left in recent years.

Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is about much more than just tariffs. Trade imbalances, Chinese goods entering the American market through Canada, taxes on U.S. companies, and Mark Carney’s political strategy have pushed relations with Washington to a new low.

At the same time, Canada faces weak economic growth, enormous immigration pressures, separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec, and continued dependence on the United States for its defense. Picking a fight with America will not solve those problems.

Most Americans used to be supportive of legal immigration because most immigrants loved the country that welcomed them in. Today’s immigrants, such as Hasan Piker and Ilhan Omar, are somehow ungrateful yet refuse to return to their home country.

With the midterm elections less than 80 days away, Democrats appear confident that historical trends and current polling will deliver control of Congress. But several factors could complicate that outcome, including the course of the Iran war, Republican redistricting, Donald Trump’s campaign war chest, recent primary results, and questions about the reliability of polling. The growing influence of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party could also reshape the race as voters get a closer look at their positions on policing, immigration, energy, foreign policy, women’s sports, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and other major issues. Despite expectations of R...

America is undergoing a technological revolution across artificial intelligence, space exploration, software, genetic engineering, and other industries that will shape the future. U.S. companies dominate many of the world’s most valuable technology sectors, while American AI platforms account for most of the services people around the world use every day. SpaceX and other American companies are dramatically outpacing foreign competitors in satellites and rocket launches, while U.S. software companies command enormous global valuations. American firms are also leading emerging fields such as genetic engineering and advanced medical technology. Despite decades of predictions about American decline and th...

Republicans cannot rely solely on Democrats’ extremism and a SCOTUS radical gerrymandering win to carry them through the midterms. They need a clear record of accomplishments, Operation Make D.C.

They need a new "Contract with America," argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
