Summary

Victor Davis Hanson and co-host Sami Winc cover the House hearing on the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey then turn to California primary returns and claims of weak ballot integrity, weighing prospects for Spencer Pratt and Steve Hilton. They discuss New Jersey’s Adam Hamawy and Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed, arguing mass migration, enclave politics, and anti-Israel sentiment are reshaping U.S. politics, including in California leadership, Hollywood, universities, and city councils. Hanson revisits the UK Henry Nowak case, citing body-cam details, alleged cover-up behavior by the Digwa family, and what he calls “unequal enforcement” under DEI. The episode also addresses Paul Krugman’s rhetoric about purging Trump supporters, CBS/60 Minutes turmoil involving Scott Pelley, a Virginia case allowing a male sex offender into girls’ locker rooms due to self-declared transgender status, Jill Biden’s memoir tour, and brief notes on nicotine/COVID and Ebola concerns.
