In this 25 July 2026 published video, hosts Victor Davis Hansen and Sami discuss how the new Socialist Left emerged from the Democrats catering to the excesses of their fringe, creating a political Frankenstein’s monster. Hanson argues that the mainstream Democratic Party historically catered to and enabled its most progressive and radical fringe elements for electoral advantages. He asserts that this strategy backfired, allowing the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the new Socialist Left to break away from establishment control and transform into an independent political force that now threatens to consume the broader party.

They also provide an update on the state of the Iran war, as wartime strategic decision making necessitates the U.S. to retaliate disproportionately.

As part of the Saturday Special, Victor examines the connections between John Quincy Adams and George H. W. Bush and the entertaining exchange between Representative Gill and Smithsonian’s Director of the Museum of American History.
