Biden Let ‘Immigration Activist’ Turn America Into an Open-Borders Country | Victor Davis Hanson Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

Did former President Barack Obama prioritize a scheme to increase and use immigration to achieve political goals? Were Obama’s cronies actually the ones in the driver’s seat during the ramp-up of the Biden administration’s open-borders policies, asks Jack Fowler on this special edition of “Victor Davis Hanson (Minus Victor): In His Own Words” with Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

Answer: “What happened is that Biden basically just let the activist groups on immigration run immigration policy. And since he wasn’t really president — in other words, he was a very weak executive — they just sort of, you know, ran with it and caused all the problems because … nobody was keeping control and making sure things stayed on track because there was nobody in charge of anything.”

Victor Davis Hanson: What I Fear Worse Than Socialist Democratic Government Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation**

In a new March Madness-style series that will pair off “16 terrible issues” against each other, Hanson will act as the judge, ruling on the greatest existential threat to the United States.

In the first episode, Hanson decides whether the following are the biggest issues facing the United States in 2026:

China vs. rogue nukes

Fertility free fall vs. gain-of-function bioweapon pandemic

Massive debt vs. destruction of the nuclear family

Growth and spread of radical Islam vs. socialist/Democratic government

“I wish people listening would understand that the problem is not Donald Trump. The problem is that there are major forces in the world, Russia, but especially China and radical Islam, that want to destroy the United States. It's just that simple. And to the degree that we let down our guard or we lose deterrence, they'll try. And so it's very important that we be united and keep up.”
