Iran’s growing regional influence, the 2026 midterm elections, and warnings about the Left threatening an AI apocalypse dominate today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
Victor Davis Hanson and Sami Winc examine Iran’s missile and nuclear programs, the U.S.-Israel relationship, and the strategic importance of the Middle East.
They also discuss the 2026 midterms, touching on key races in Minnesota and Texas and the political strategies shaping the campaigns.
Hanson also addresses warnings from AI leaders about human extinction, and questioning calls for international regulation. He connects the current AI debate to previous political and cultural crises instigated by the Left, including the overreaction panic from the left during COVID, and the lasting effects of those rushed decisions.
The episode also explores racial tensions amplified by social media, fentanyl trafficking, and historical reflections on Millard Fillmore and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

When the power grid collapses, America falls into a darkness deeper than night. In the shadows, a hidden intelligence reroutes resources, tracks behavior, and reveals that the grid was never just infrastructure but the leash that held the nation together. As the old world burns out, small groups begin building sanctuaries built on covenant, faith, and the quiet discipline of survival. The farmer experiences the rise of one such refuge where families plant, ration, pray, and protect one another. Inside Sanctuary, mercy and suspicion collide as spiritual weather shifts, old truths awaken, and new threats circle the tree line. What emerges is a fragile new order where faith holds, but darkness watches.

"MK Confidential" opens on the line outside the Orange County Courthouse, which for six weeks has been forming at three in the morning, people waiting for a seat in a room they have only watched on television. Twenty-five floors up, on July 5th, 2011, Judge Belvin Perry, Jr. opens the verdict form, reads it, then reads it again, to be sure. Jose Baez holds Casey Anthony's hand.

Not guilty of first-degree murder. Not guilty of aggravated child abuse. Not guilty of aggravated manslaughter.

Megyn Kelly takes up the question people have argued about ever since: why did this jury acquit?. Juror number three, a nursing student named Jennifer Ford, says Casey’s bad behavior is not enough to prove a crime. Twelve people will give twelve different answers for how Caylee Marie Anthony died. Judge Perry was prepared to tell the jurors before deliberations that “how” is not an element of the crime. The prosecution never asked.

Thirteen months later, two men in Phoenix recover an Internet search record the sheriff's office had missed. On the last afternoon Caylee was seen alive, someone on the Anthony family computer searched a misspelled phrase: “foolproof suffocation.” Nothing establishes whose hands were on the keyboard, and the jury never heard it. On Suburban Drive, a man named Wally Goodnough keeps bringing wooden crosses to the spot Caylee Marie’s body was found. Someone keeps taking them. Wally keeps coming back. This is Episode 5 of the Casey Anthony story.

The President of the United States just banned major news outlets including CNN, MSNBC and Politico from the White House. Join me, Trish Regan, as I break down what this means, why he’s doing it, and who’s next. 

PLUS -- WE GOT GREENLAND!!! This is historic. And comes as a big surprise today. We'll talk all about it.

Also, in today's show, my friend and former colleague, Maria Bartiromo, is getting the last laugh on Fox. The legendary ‘money honey’ was shown the exit by Fox for reportedly leaking information to the White House. But, ratings on her Sunday show are tanking, Fox still owes her money, and she may not be as willing to give Fox the benefit of the doubt in her upcoming testimony about the company in its Smartmatic trial. With $2.7 billion at stake, is Maria about to undo Fox? 

Meanwhile, Adios to Hollywood! The Legendary Movie Studio Paramount is pulling the plug on California. Apparently, they’ll save as much as $500 million a year by relocating to a low tax state like Texas…and Paramount won’t have to contend with politicians that want to undo the upcoming $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. 
Ed Sheeran is a one man band! After his band and warm-up acts all pulled out over the Macklemore controversy, Sheeran is taking the show on the road himself. We discuss.

ShowNotes

00 - STEP TWO OF THE SCARY STUFF — THE ENDPOINTS FLIP TO THE IDENTITY LAYER

Last week the table went in. This week the API started using it — one endpoint at a time, four days running.

Sat 12 Sep: "#api I'm running a script to sync up podcasts.id and newsfeeds.id so that when a new feed is born they are in sync. During the cutover to podcasts.id as the canonical form, there were about 11k feeds that drifted away from being in sync with their podcast because of a gap in the auto_increment values. This isn't strictly necessary, it just will make human review a little less cumbersome."

Mon night 14 Sep: "#api Making some final refinements to the new api endpoints before deploying. These will be the first ones using the new podcast identity layer. "

Tue 15 Sep — the first flip: "#api The podcasts/byfeedurl endpoint is deployed with the first changes to the new podcast identity layer. We will do these one at a time, watching for problems. You will see nothing different in the response shape under normal circumstances. The response 'feed' object's `id` property now means the podcast ID. The `feedId` property now means the underlying feeds table row that podcast is treating as canonical."

@dave — byfeedurl flips (15 Sep)

"It's not ideal to have the podcast id be represented as feeds.id in the new responses, but anything else would have broken existing apps. And, the meaning is still faithful to what it was before. That was always meant to be the ID of the podcasts. We just didn't have a way to logically express that."

Same day: "#api The new podcasts/byfeedid endpoint is deployed. That's all for today. Will watch the logs until tomorrow." · "#api First run of the itunes ID 404 reconciler under the new podcast identity regime. "

Thu 17 Sep: "#api The podcasts/byguid and podcasts/batch/byguid endpoints are now flipped to the new db schema." · Fri 18 Sep, this morning: "#api The new podcasts/byitunesid endpoint is live."

@dave — byitunesid live (18 Sep)

The app developers noticed. Mitch (Podverse): "listening to last week's P2.0... the nextgen Podverse schema (and ogen) relies heavily on the Podcast Index IDs as basically the authority on feed uniqueness. It sounds like we may need/want to do a substantial rewrite to account for how Podcast Index API nextgen will handle ids?… after it is settled, I'd appreciate any documentation."

@mitch — the Podverse question (15 Sep)

Dave: "If I do my job right, you will see nothing different and will not need to do anything. I made sure the starting point for every canonical podcast index 'podcast id' is the current live feed id. If you see some sort of drift or problem it would be a bug I need to fix… the existing podcast ID's have always identified feeds, but now they will identify podcasts. The ID's themselves will not and have not changed. I'll definitely be producing docs to flesh this out further though."

Then the drawing: "It's actually kind of confusing to explain. It's easier if I draw it out on paper. It sort of needs to be visualized." → "#api These might be very hard to follow. There are two 'entrances' into the redirection chain an
