What was America’s plan after Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc dive into the final days of World War II and questions about whether the United States came close to deploying additional nuclear weapons.

In today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor and Sami dive into many historical topics, from World War II to Henry Ford, and current discussions such as the tensions between the U.S. and Canada and updates on the Iran war.

They explore Henry Ford’s connections to Nazi Germany, the heroism of American soldiers during World War II, and the competing military strategies of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Adm. Chester Nimitz in the Pacific.

Hanson also criticizes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney over escalating tensions with President Donald Trump, warning that Canada's trade policies, growing relationship with China, and dependence on American military protection could have serious economic and national security consequences.

The episode also examines the ongoing Iran war, rising gas prices, and Europe's reluctance to support American military operations. Hanson warns of the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran and questions the long-term consequences of the conflict for global energy markets.

One answer. One unforgettable reaction from Senator Cory Booker. And suddenly, a Republican Senate candidate almost nobody knew was going VIRAL across America!

Meet Justin Murphy, the U.S. Navy veteran and Republican candidate challenging Cory Booker in New Jersey's 2026 Senate race.

After his explosive, unscripted response to a question about President Donald Trump and the war in Iran, Murphy became an unexpected political sensation. Now, in an exclusive interview with Erin Molan, he reveals what was going through his mind, why he refused to back down, and what REALLY happened during that extraordinary debate moment.

But could this viral breakthrough turn into something much bigger?

Erin presses Murphy on whether President Trump will endorse him, the reaction from Vice President JD Vance, whether New Jersey could turn Republican, and his strategy for challenging Cory Booker.

They also tackle the Iran war, regime change, the IRGC, America's affordability crisis, and whether Murphy would ever stand up to President Trump if they disagreed.

And in a moving moment, Erin reflects on her late father, a decorated military leader who also entered politics, and what a lifetime of public service really means.

What did YOU think of Justin Murphy's viral answer? And could New Jersey's Senate race surprise America? Tell us in the comments!

Hot flashes, brain fog, anxiety, mood swings, sleepless nights... menopause can turn your world upside down! But how do we navigate these very real physical and emotional challenges while remaining faithful to Christ?

In part two of our series on menopause, I'm joined by some familiar voices from the world of Christian theology and apologetics who are getting personal about their own experiences with perimenopause and menopause.

Rosaria Butterfield, Shanda Fulbright, Korey Cooper, Krista Bontrager, Monique Duson, Patti Height, Katy Faust, and Teasi Cannon share honest stories, practical advice, biblical wisdom, and even a few laughs about this often-overlooked season of life.

We talk about everything from managing anxiety and intrusive thoughts to finding medical help, cultivating self-control, building supportive Christian friendships, and learning to trust God's Word when our emotions seem completely out of control.

Whether you're in the thick of perimenopause, navigating postmenopause, or preparing for what's ahead, this conversation is filled with encouragement and hope. Our bodies may be changing, but God's faithfulness never does. And this season of life can be an opportunity not just to endure, but to grow in wisdom, holiness, and our love for Christ.
