The Merits of Joe Kent’s Resignation, the Democrats’ Anti-Israel Shift, and America’s Blue-State Decline | Victor Davis Hanson

Jack Fowler and Victor Davis Hanson discuss Joe Kent’s recent resignation over opposition to military action against Iran. Hanson argues Iran’s long record of attacks and proxy warfare makes stopping now dangerous. Hanson reacts to an Al Jazeera column claiming the U.S.-Israel strategy is systematically degrading Iran’s key assets, suggesting Gulf states back the campaign out of fear Iran will hit their economies. He then examines an NBC News poll showing Israel’s standing has fallen sharply among Democrats and warns Jewish national candidates face a hostile party climate. Hanson also links corporate flight from blue states to high taxes and governance failures, criticizes Canada’s policies, and argues weak assimilation and DEI incentives fuel anti-Americanism and criminal impunity among some immigrants and activists.
