Victor Davis Hanson: Why Ireland Is So Hostile to Israel
Sunday belonged to Victor Davis Hanson. His newest commentary, "Victor Davis Hanson: Why Ireland Is So Hostile to Israel," passed 139,000 views within its first sixteen hours. It is now gathering views faster than anything else on the channel. The description frames it as a question about Ireland's boycotts and its condemnation of Israel after October 7, and Hanson's own line in it is a challenge to the critics: what would you do?
He was busy all week. Earlier commentaries took on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker and Ilhan Omar, and argued that pressure on Iran's government is building. The nightly Tony Kinnett Cast carried the breaking news, and its October 3 episode, from the night the producer apologized for technical trouble, was the week's most watched upload.
The quieter surprise is the census explainer on the administration's 2030 proposal. It had a modest first day and kept climbing. A short on Mark Carney's invasion remark is also moving quickly.
Across fifteen uploads, the channel added roughly 7.6 million views, and its daily pace is now about double its usual. That placed it in the middle of nearby political channels. Legal AF and Breezy Politics had the biggest weeks, while Double Down News ran well below its normal pace. The subscriber count held at 1.2 million.
