But how else can I lure someone in like a fish on a hook to pray for them that the Lord God would open their eyes to the light and reveal the false prophets of our time? Everything I say has a purpose. Only some of it is serious, such as what I'm saying now. Jesus Christ is what Hanson is missing.

      Genuine vs. fake. Some things are hard to tell. Such as emeralds. The fake are usually defect-free. Entirely man made. God wasn't involved, except of course, when he made the man who made the emeralds, in His image. Hanson lacks the knowledge of Christ, in whom is all truth and genuine wisdom.

Like Rex you really are exceptional. As I age and observed more I've gone from left wing to more conservative. I find the left, the Woke, the climate change activists, and now Prince Harry and Meghan very alarming. It's so nice to hear intelligent, respectful dialogue like you and Rex provide on important matters of our time; and to do this effectively a person needs to know history, which both of you do.

    Victor Davis Hanson is probably one of the brightest and insightful teachers/speakers/authors/farmers/military historians we currently have in America today. Unlike numerous intellectuals and academics he has a brilliant way of conveying history/classics/culture that is relative and meaningful to average working class americans. Unlike leftist elites, he actually lives in a diverse area and has made a living working with his hands. He values the contributions of people who stock shelves, drive trucks, deliver goods, grow produce, fix cars, build homes, etc. He pointed out that these citizens, especially during the virus, were the real essential workers and not the people who were able to sit in the comfort of their own home on zoom and skype and make hundreds of thousands of dollars. These working class folks were out there every day taking risks so the people who were able to stay home could have everything delivered to them. I think Victor offers such a unique life perspective especially when compared with many of his so called “colleagues.” This is my first time hearing Mr. Rex and I found him to be an excellent interviewer. Is he based in western Canada?? He deserves much more exposure.

I shudder what it's like) but if you're slightly intelligent and try to think fairly, it's honest! Then you come back and see all the bs, especially in the media where they just cant call a spade a spade, other viewpoints (read conservative, or pro-oil, pro economy, pro-Satan, sorry, Harper etc) are rarely given a voice.

    Lived behind the Iron Curtain for nearly 30 years. Escaped. I'd have never believed that I'd have to retire in a country which feels just like the one I ran from. VDH's comment on deep cynicism permeating my life then and now was spot on. In the meantime, my home country became free, prosperous, and truly democratic. Return seems more desirable every year. I'd love to share your (at least VDH's) optimism, but the deep infection of the entire educational system in North America with the mental virus of wokism convinces me that the consequences will be both profound and long term as the freshly minted, brainwashed, soviet-style intelligentsia takes over the helm. The collapse is imminent.

    I have never heard of or seen you before, "Rex", but your praise of a man I greatly respect, is a bit over-blown, because he's stuck in comparing the far past, near, and today, then attempts to connect them, and label them, according to what he KNOWS.
    Normally? This would be a valid path to take. However, what we face today? Is a NEW EVIL. And it is a combination of many ideologies, beliefs, and evils of old, NEVER BEFORE SEEN, & that has been at work, preparing for what they are now doing, for decades.
    I would know, I WAS THERE, when they FORMED.
    I wrote to try and explain this to Mr. Hanson, I never heard back, as with so many others, on the Conservative side here in America, with platforms.
    They all still sit around confused, and not understanding this, or that- yet they refuse to listen, to GAIN that clarity, they are so desperately missing.
    Victor Davis Hanson is a great man, and he, like the others, have PARTS right, here, and there. And this? Is why NOTHING CHANGES.
    Well, allow me to go back one step- YOU, sir, were on the absolutely CORRECT PATH, when you began your questioning, with the United States' so-called, "media". They are no such thing. They are a vile, evil tool, being used to help END, America.
    I've dubbed ALL of them, "Weaponized Progressives" (WPs), because this is WHO & WHAT they ARE & DO.
    And until we END this vile, corrupt, criminal & yes, EVIL, Weaponized Progressive Media (WPM)? NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE. EVER. THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE- But they will not. They will not even look at it.... or, worse? They believe they can EVENTUALLY wear them down, and, "win-out" over them, with the new News sources that are popping up.
    But these WP's? They've WEAPONIZED TIME, as they do ALL THINGS, so they do NOT have the time they believe they have, to "win-back" anything.
    If you would like to know more, I would be fine to let you know. I have an "off" e-mail you can use, that matters not if it is attacked or anything else- precautions I've had to take, from 40+ years of being attacked, for trying to WARN of what was to come. That would be Facebooklies2u@gmail.com.
    Please be forewarned- I am NOT an "educated" man- I'm basically self-taught- however I do have common sense, something not as common as it once used to be. So I'm sure I'm not the norm you regularly hear from- but maybe? You can be the first to actually understand? And then we can see where TRUTH goes from there.
    Entirely up to you sir. But I thoroughly enjoyed your interview, and appear to be someone I can share this with, without fear of the consequences I learned very early on come, to those who go against this Evil, trying to destroy our country, today.
