President Donald Trump is right to believe that Iran is in a historically vulnerable position right now.    The Assad regime is kaput. Hezbollah’s effectiveness has been dramatically reduced since Oct. 7. Hama is living underground among the rubble of Gaza.    However, even with a maximum pressure campaign, oil embargoes, domestic instability, two things will never change:    You can’t trust a word that comes out of the Iranian regime’s mouth, and their legitimacy hinges on acquiring nuclear weapons, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “The pressure is all on Iran. Militarily. Diplomatically. Economically. Socially. Culturally. What do I mean by that? Culturally, there is about 30% to 40% of the country are non-Farsi Persian speakers. And they're very restive, angry. Power outages. The regime is unpopular. It's diverted billions of dollars to these terrorist appendages that now didn't pay off, that they're defunct.    “And so, Donald Trump thinks that he, with this maximum pressure, putting this crushing oil embargo—which by the way, Joe Biden lifted—that he can bring them to negotiations one last time.   “Personally, I don't think he can. Nothing that that regime has ever said is accurate. Nobody in the MAGA movement wants an optional war in the Middle East. But they will have nuclear weapons, perhaps in a year. So, what is the likely scenario?”   👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Why did Joe Biden let 10-12 million illegal aliens into the U.S.?   The Good News:   We’ve gone from over 120,000 people a month coming across the border illegally in April 2024 to fewer than 10,000 in April 2025.    The Bad News:   The Left operates under a simple principle: “It is lawful to be unlawful if you're Joe Biden—according to the courts—but it is unlawful to be lawful if you're Donald Trump. And the result is that we've got these 10 to 12 million people. Are we going to have an immigration hearing for each one of them? Or are we just going to pick people?”      👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.

Whether you like President Donald Trump or not, he is embracing policies that BOTH Democrats and Republicans saw as the solution in the past.    Only difference is, today, Democrats are terrified that President Trump’s policies not only the viable solution, but that they’re actually going work, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”   “What's happening is we're watching the most dramatic counterrevolution in our history.   “This is more fundamentally changing than even the Reagan revolution that rebooted the American economy and won the Cold War. And it's even more—I don't know—more fundamentally transformative than the Roosevelt first 100 days when he took the country hard left with the New Deal.   “I really think [Democrats] have no alternative to addressing the debt, the budget deficit, the trade deficit. And there's only one pathway. And whether you like Donald Trump or not, or you think he's crude, he is embracing policies that in bygone days both Democrats and Republicans saw was the solution. And the Democrats are terrified that it is not only the viable solution…”  👉Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
