Steve Cortes warns that the United States could repeat Europe’s experience with mass Muslim immigration, pointing to Dearborn, Michigan, and arguing that assimilation and shared American values should play a larger role in immigration policy. He also discusses what he found while reporting in Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin and how immigration could shape major races in the midterms. Don Palmer also breaks down The Heritage Foundation’s latest Election Integrity Scorecard, including which states have strengthened their election systems and why some states could once again take days or weeks to finalize results.  Steve Cortes’s New Documentary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOsPelIDx5g Cortes Investigates Website:  https://www.cortesinvestigates.com/ The Heritage Foundations Election Integrity Scorecard: https://electionscorecard.heritage.org/ NEW FILM by the Heritage Foundation: “Preventable: The System That Failed My Daughter.” Available now.   https://youtu.be/HxiwOSSRT6s?si=r9k6BFD-iMmvnvpn Learn more about your ad choices.

Victor Davis Hanson takes on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar over a glaring double standard in their attacks on America. They condemn the United States and Israel over colonialism, inequality, oppression, and war—but rarely apply that same scrutiny to Uganda, Turkey, Somalia, and the countries they or their families came from. Hanson’s message is simple: before condemning America, look in the mirror. PragerU - Please support PragerU with a tax-deductible donation today.

Republicans risk repeating George H.W. Bush’s 1992 mistake by allowing Democrats to define a strengthening economy as a crisis, particularly on affordability. For months now, Democrats have been screaming to the heavens how unaffordable it is to live a comfortable life here in the United States.  But when you actually look at what's happened, it's not true.  The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta reports that in the third quarter, the economy will have grown by 5% GDP.  We just had 160,000 new jobs. New jobs were created in the month of August. The unemployment rate is only 4.2%. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA MovementThe Daily Signal, the proud producers of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” has a special limited time offer:  With a monthly donation $14, you’ll become BOTH a Signal Elite Supporter AND receive a copy of “The Counterrevolution: The Fall and Rise of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement”Click here to order: https://secured.dailysignal.com/support-daily-signal-today/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=signalelite&utm_content=260930-vdh-book-youtube10 PragerU - Please support PragerU with a tax-deductible donation today.

Mark Carney is escalating tensions with the United States, raising the possibility of an American invasion while looking to China and the European Union as alternatives to Canada’s traditional relationship with its closest ally. Victor Davis Hanson argues that Canada remains deeply dependent on the United States for trade, defense, and economic stability, and that turning away from that relationship will not solve the country’s larger problems. He also looks at Canada’s immigration, energy, defense, and economic policies and how its leaders brought the country to this point.

Iran sits at the center of a rapidly changing global order as military and economic pressure continues to build on the regime. A collapse in Tehran could transform the Middle East and represent one of the most consequential geopolitical shifts since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Beyond Iran, major changes are unfolding across Russia, China, Latin America, Greenland, and the wider Middle East as the balance of global power continues to shift. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mass immigration, assimilation, and national identity are reshaping political debates across the West. Nick Freitas joins “The Midterm Report” to discuss his new documentary, “The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy the West,” which examines how Britain has changed in recent decades and what lessons its experience could hold for the United States. Freitas argues that one of the quickest ways to destabilize a nation is to give it an identity crisis. Drawing on his travels across the United Kingdom, he discusses immigration, assimilation, cultural differences, and why he believes Americans should pay attention to what is happening in Britain. Freitas also weighs in on the constitutional amendments before Virginia voters and discusses what Americans can do in their own families, communities, and political institutions. Also on the program, Rob Bluey is joined by Daily Signal state correspondents Joe Thomas, Rebecca Downs, and Emily Madeiros for the latest from Virginia, Ohio, and Texas. They break down key races and ballot measures, as well as the issues driving voters ahead of Election Day, including immigration, data centers, and the battle for control of Congress.

Tribalism is growing in America and weakening assimilation, unity, and a shared national identity. Social media is accelerating racial and cultural tensions, while DEI, affirmative action, and government policies have deepened division and reinforced identity-based politics. The melting pot is breaking down as more people are defined by race, ethnicity, and religion rather than those differences being treated as incidental.

Victor Davis Hanson challenges Tucker Carlson to produce evidence that Hanson ever called the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki “glorious,” arguing instead that the weapons were a horrific but necessary means of ending the war and avoiding even greater American, Japanese, and Allied casualties.

With five weeks to go before the midterm elections, the races remain uncertain. Current polling shows Democrats with an advantage in several key contests, but questions remain about polling accuracy, campaign spending, redistricting and the records of individual candidates. Key Senate races in Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, Texas, Iowa and Kansas remain competitive, while developments in Iran, gas prices and the broader economy could further reshape the election landscape in the final weeks.

Why are tech CEOs suddenly warning that AI could destroy humanity—while simultaneously opposing liability for the products they create? The history of election-year doomsday scares is abundant, from the 1968 population bomb to nuclear winter in 1984, climate change in 1992, Me Too in 2016, etc.“When you see a sudden epidemic, a melodrama, a hysteria, just be very careful because the odds are it will be in an election year, it'll be ginned up by a so-called left-wing expert, and when it's all over, that left-wing expert will be pretty wealthy.”Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit http://www.JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 and for a limited time your first gift to ADF will be MATCHED by a special matching grant—while funds last Learn more about your ad choices.

Republicans want to define the 2026 midterm elections by contrasting their own party with the growing number of far-left Democrats and socialists.Rep. Riley Moore, a first-term Republican lawmaker from West Virginia, told the Daily Signal that will be key to mobilizing GOP turnout and keeping control of the House. Moore joined the “Midterm Report” to share his outlook with less than seven weeks until Election Day."You have communists and Islamists running up and down the ballot here in the United States," he said. "They want to pack the Supreme Court. Obviously, they don't believe in this country as a republic. They don't believe in our foundational documents."Moore, who represents West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District, won his 2024 election with more than 70% of the vote. He said the stakes extend well beyond his own reliably Republican state.Also on the program, Rob Bluey is joined by fellow Daily Signal colleagues Bradley Devlin, Senior Politics Editor, and Virginia Grace McKinnon, Congressional Reporter, to debrief the first ever Midterm Republican National Convention, and more on today’s edition of “The Midterm Report.” NEW FILM, The Immigration Crisis That Will Destroy The West, presented by The Heritage Foundation, OUT NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0rwaEs5jA  Learn more about your ad choices.

The midterms are about 50 days away, and Democrats continue to search for ways to gain back control of the House and Senate. Their answer may come from the conflict in Iran. Iran is most likely planning an October surprise of their own to shock Americans and hurt Republicans in the November elections. Democrats are all for it. But will that surprise be enough to give Democrats control of Congress until the end of Trump’s second term?

Canada’s growing confrontation with the United States is exposing deeper problems with the country’s economy, immigration system, energy policy, and national defense. Prime Minister Mark Carney is pursuing closer ties with China while Canada remains heavily dependent on the United States for trade and security.A weaker economy, limited defense capabilities, restrictions on Canada’s vast energy resources, and growing tensions with its largest trading partner have left the country with little room for error. Turning toward China and adopting policies modeled after Europe could further strain the U.S.-Canada alliance and leave Canadians paying the price.

Iran mistakenly thinks the November midterms are President Trump's weakness. But Trump plans to use this thinking and the midterms against the Iranian regime. If Trump can end the conflict by his midterm deadline and truly accomplish his objectives, there’s a very good chance it could boost Republicans’ outcome in the November elections. "If you look at the entire situation, the midterms are actually in the interest of Donald Trump and the Iranian dissidents. Donald Trump then has a deadline to which he can bring this thing to a close. He's got seven weeks, and I think that he will be encouraging internal revolt."  Learn more about your ad choices.
