VDH: California University’s New President Vows to ‘Eliminate Whiteness’

Wed, 06 Aug 2025
Victor Davis Hanson explains what this rhetoric really means, and why this racialized framing is not only intellectually hollow, but deeply dangerous for a pluralistic and Western democratic society on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”



“He believed that black students on test scores or GPA or by traditional criteria were not competitive with other groups  … and therefore, you had to have a different type of vocabulary, a different type of approach for black students, in a way you wouldn’t for other students. This is not gonna work. We have tried that for 50 or 60 years. And we’ve seen that the Great Society specialization and fixation on race did not work.



“This is in the age of post-DEI, in a very reactionary, retrograde approach, that you’re going to single out particular groups and you’re going to emphasize particular plans, programs based on the color of their skin at a time when we’re all trying to transcend it because when we have done that, it didn’t work. It created tensions rather than alleviated them. It created suspicion and distrust rather than ending such things. It’s a retrograde tribal thought that goes back to pre-civilizational ideas.

VDH: Trump, Conservatives Are Faced With ‘Unknown Frontiers.’ Are We Ready To Face Them?

Tue, 05 Aug 2025
Just like Captain Kirk ventured into uncharted space, America is now stepping into political and economic territory no one thought possible. We’ve been told these ideas were impossible. But now, by doing what the Right has promised for decades, America is breaking every “rule” the expert class clings to.

 

Victor Davis Hanson breaks down what this means for the Trump administration conservative movement on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

 

“ On the budget, on the economy, on the universities, on the border—and I could apply this as well to the radical changes in military recruitment, in DEI—no one has ever said, ‘We're going to actually do what conservatives and Republicans have promised for a half-century.’ And when you do that, and you actually carry through your promises, you're in unknown territory. “

VDH: The Left Doesn’t Hate Sydney Sweeney’s Jeans. They Hate Beauty.

Mon, 04 Aug 2025
On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson breaks down the absurdity of the outrage and exposes the real history of eugenics—hint: it doesn’t come from the Right.



“ We have all sorts of models that pose for jean commercials. American Eagle have had black women, people, Hispanics, everybody. And do you remember the ad by Levi's for Beyonce? Levi's has her portrayed with a cowboy hat, a yellow wig, and in a country-western setting with Levi jeans. … Nobody objected, nobody said, ‘Beyonce is objectifying whiteness because, as an African American, she's got a blond wig on.’” 



“ A final warning or a piece of advice from Aristotle: We act to beauty by proportion and mathematics. As I said, Beyonce is beautiful, not because she's black or not because she's not white, or Sydney Sweeney is beautiful, not because of her skin color, but because she has, as Aristotle would say, perfect symmetry. And that's a universal idea.”
