Why Does LeBron James Disrespect the Country That Made Him Rich? | Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own WordsShow Notes
LeBron James has made a fortune in America, yet he can’t show a few minutes of respect during the national anthem. Jack Fowler and I look at his latest antics, the NBA’s ties to China, and the political double standards surrounding Caitlin Clark and the WNBA.
We also examine the charges against two former FBI officials over the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, reports of Antifa networks behind Europe’s unrest, California’s proposed billionaire tax, and the Smithsonian’s treatment of Shelby and Eli Steele’s documentary, White Guilt.

The 2026 midterms will be a critical test of the direction of the Democratic Party and the future of American politics. From the questions and controversies surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar to the economy, the war with Iran and the ongoing struggle over Ukraine, these issues raise serious questions about leadership, accountability and America’s national interests.
Western civilization is facing a crisis of its own making. Across Europe, mass immigration, failed assimilation, economic stagnation, and political paralysis are threatening the very foundations of nations that once dominated the world. Rather than confront these problems, European leaders seem determined to double down on the policies that created them.
France is burning once again, with violent riots spreading across Europe and raising serious questions about mass immigration, failed assimilation, and the future of Western civilization.
