Israel & Palestine | The Politics of War | Victor Davis Hanson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- John is joined by military historian Victor Davis Hanson to discuss the escalating conflict in the Middle East. This conversation was recorded on Wednesday the 18th of October.
Hanson argues that Israel is in a unique position to retaliate unencumbered by American opposition, due to the bi-partisan support it currently has in the US. However, he contends that conflicts like this, and others such as the war in Ukraine, would probably not have transpired had President Trump still been at the helm.
Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He has been a commentator on contemporary politics for the National Review and The Washington Times and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.
In addition to writing hundreds of articles, book reviews and newspaper editorials, Hanson is also the author of twenty-four books and hosts a regular podcast series, 'The Victor Davis Hanson Show'. Hanson was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007 by President George W. Bush, and was a presidential appointee in 2007-08 on the American Battle Monuments Commission. His latest book, The Dying Citizen, was published in October 2021.

Victor David Hanson is a national treasure who speaks the truth with great intelligence and compassion! Awesome!
If women ran the world we would not destroy and rebuild the world in senseless wars over and over every decade.
Yes.
He is a relic that is out of touch.
He absolutely is in another national treasure. Is Thomas Sowell!! I can watch Victor and Thomas videos all day
Yes. For sure. So brilliant
Victor Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell are 2 treasures in a bleak picture of U.S. Academia.
I really appreciate Victor Davis Hanson's explanation of current and past political and current events. Here in Australia its a sport to poke fun at our politicians, but whats going on it the United States tne so called model of democracy is tragic. The politicalisation of the Government is detestable. I look forward to listening to other addresses. Its scriptual to keep ones self aware of the signs of the time and a factual explanation without political bias is refreshing.
Respectfully Mike J Taylor
Prayers that Victor Hanson has a long life. America needs his wisdom.
I get it....he's jewish, but he also is honorable.......so I trust what he says he believes. That makes one famous person so far........he rest...pfft......skumbags
A wise man. Only when you get older can you gain this kind of wisdom .
He is honest straight forward and calm in demeanor. This is the kind of college professor we need today.
Thank you gentleman.
😊
Anderson and Hanson are wrong. Palestinians will win. The people rising globally to
support Palestine
If more professors were like him I would have stayed in college. As a country boy from a county of 4000 people that is 98% Republican one year of the left wingers was all I could stand. I was there to be a history teacher and was constantly criticized and attacked because i would noy assimilate to their socialist/communist views on history. It probably worked out for the best though as i make far more money as the co-owner of a concrete finishing business. I will never send my son to a university to get a useless degree. I will teach him my trade or send him to a trade school where he will actually have a future.
I have never heard Victor Davis Hansen be so positive. It gives me hope.
I totally agree & remain optimistic about America’s future.
1. Restoring America’s prominence & greatness in the world, hinges on one thing:
2. Ballot Integrity.
3. If the Democrats are allowed to perpetually steal presidential elections-as they did in 2020-America is doomed.
4. The Republican leaderships in ALL the swing states MUST secure their respective state’s electoral laws & procedures.
5. AND restore border control & enforce ALL immigration laws.
same here, very inspiring...
Never thought he would say China isn’t likely to clean the floor with us. A young prophet I follow Joseph Z just likewise prophesied that as in WWII, America didn’t end up speaking German & will not end up speaking Chinese now
Hope for what?
@@jacksonlee3771
@terrismith clearly knows VDH. The point was his hopefulness and understanding of Americans. She is *spot on.*
As is VDH.
Thanks to Dr. Hanson for his calm and clear explanations. He is a treasure.
I am an immigrant from Vietnam. I am a proud American/Canadian and I respect and value our American traditions. Let’s make America great again!!!!. If you don’t like this traditional values and believes , then please don’t come here and don’t take advantage of our generosity and our freedom!!!! This is a land of in valuable freedom and democracy. I am sure all of us will want to keep it this way for many generations to come. Thank you Dr Hanson for your insightful hopeful and transparent message for the future. At the moment with the left movement on the rise or at the peak, it seems very scary and cloudy!!!
@@lienneale2486Glad to have you as an American 🇺🇸
@@lienneale2486it is a scary time.
@@lienneale2486 Thank you!
@scoop1127 Mr. Hansen has forgotten more about virtually everything than you will ever know. He is very much a treasure for this country. You, on the other hand, are not. Which is why he is the guy in the video and you are buried in the comments section.
This conversation was uplifting! I am 81 years old and I was about to give up completely, as I thought no one thinks like I do anymore and I am ready to leave this earth. I then came across this podcast and I have hope again! Our country is being destroyed by other cultures that want handouts but won’t integrate with our way of thinking. They have left destruction behind to come here yet they cling to what they left behind. The ignorance is astounding and it is really destroying America. Thank you so much for giving me hope for my grandchildren! I was almost certain Armageddon was at our door!
From an aggressive environment in which only your interests are to be realized at all costs, as the U.S. and Israel are doing at the moment, and to a large extent the European Union, Can something good come out, It can't. It's clear he can't.
S.A.D has never represented the international community. In fact, the international community considers the U.S. the biggest threat to peace!
I think the U.S. should stop meddling internationally and should focus on getting their own country together first. Then, in a few decades, we can let them re-enter the UN. Because they scream America first, but it's never really America first, right? Maybe we should bring some democracy to S.A.D.
Now it is too late for you to do anything because you are close to bankruptcy.
I respect Russia and China because they have shown that they have a moral compass towards human life. The world is tired of the west.
The U.S. needs the intervention of humanity. They must stop their bullying and international blackmail schemes.
Neither money nor power are important in this court, because only the purity of the soul and the sincerity of our actions count.
As a European, a Catholic, I see things that way.
😊Don’t sell the U.S. short!
The U.S. people are not with Biden”s handling of foreign affairs!
I wish you a long life to see the change for the better, not only for your grandchildren but also for your great-grandchildren.
77 here and grateful for your inspiration!
Best teacher ever! Could listen to Dr. Hansen daily. What a loveky gentleman. Honest, intelligent, real, factual, historically accurate, insightful. Thank God for this man.
Trump keeps Iran off balance just enough to stop them from war with America
Agree 100%
He's a Californian treasure. And I say that as a Californian.
Caters to morons
I love VDH❤
Brilliant! 👏👏👏 to both of you! With much appreciation from a South African 🇿🇦 🇮🇱
Why the politicians don"t take Victor Davis Hanson as personal adviser. he is a LEGEND !!!
THEY DON’T…AS LONG AS THEY GOT MONEY IN THEIR POCKETS…EASY DAY FOR THEM…I DON’T CARE ABOUT US…KEEP PAYING YOUR TAXES…GOOD LUCK…
Victor Davis Hanson speaks the truth, politicians in power now hate the truth.
Have Dr Hanson on for more episodes. Brilliant mind. Incredible ability to contextualise complicated events in a very clear way.
Good intelligent men Mr Anderson and Mr Hanson period.. thank you ❤😊
It is always a pleasure to hear Prof. Hanson speak about historical events, and this interview is no exception. His unique insights have clarified the issues in a way that I have not heard from anyone else. I would suggest that those who are in the echelons of power listen to and comprehend Victor Davis Hanson's words and thinking.
I would live to take a class that Victor David Hanson taught. I could listen to him forever.
😊😊
I think Hansen is one of the most Brilliant political minds in the world. He gives me hope that this country can make a historical turnaround.
Wonderful talk. Thank you!
Brilliant! Articulate! Calming! Truthful! National Treasure! 🙌🏼
I worked in industry prior to becoming a chem professor at a liberal university. The best way I can describe that transition was that I had entered an insane asylum. Industry (at least while I was working there) was all about getting the job done and done well. I had nothing but good things to say about the people (mostly men) that I worked with. I felt respected and valued. In contrast, the university was all about individuals and their egos. Faculty members would torpedo their own faculty, departments, students and even the university itself to get their own way and there were NO consequences for their actions. I used to describe it as the Roman Colosseum where either you were down on the floor fighting or in the stands cheering for your side. Students, temporary and untenured faculty were used as foot soldiers. When I spoke up I was told I was the problem. I have been retired for some time but I must admit there is some comfort in finally seeing faculty to be shown for what they are. At the same time, I am fearful since I am fully aware of the lengths they will go to win and that they have no regard for the consequences. They will NEVER admit they are wrong.
SICKENING
You were there and you know what was going on. So many people are oblivious to this terrible situation on campuses. Our PR young people are being indoctrinated and brainwashed. Education is a good thing but not when it's used the way it's being used currently! Campuses are being used to create revolutionary soldiers for their ideologies!
I have never supported 'tenure' It's like being isolated from being fired and gives the person the ability to act like everything they say or do is correct.
I bet that University had a majority of women lecturers and administrators. What has been happening of late bears all the hallmarks of how nasty women operate;
character assissination, back biting, spreading rumors, speaking publicly as if you have a lot of heart and compassion, nice words to your face but watch your back, they'll undermine your reputation!
I too was, far a short while after retirement, an adjunct professor (of economics and banking). The attention span and the devotion to learning of the students was surprisingly lacking. I was naïve in believing that young minds would borrow or be given from parents the funds, and then do homework and would respond and participate in class discussions. Their grades showed they did not. They also seemed to be offended at not given a passing grade.
Of course, as an adjunct professor, I was an "at will" employee. I failed "too many of those in my classes over a longer period that reasonable!"
God bless Dr. Hanson and Condoleezza Rice for bringing morality back to education. May we pray it takes root.
Victor Davis Hanson is very wise. It is a pleasure to listen to him. His personality and strong intellect is a breath of fresh air!
He gives us a hope in humanity.
O
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooo
Don't underestimate how powerful this discussion is even to those of us in the later baby boomer age group. THIS GIVES ME HOPE! Thank you!
Me too, @judyrobinson. Me too.
Victor Hanson has one those extraordinary minds in which we revel, in the insights he brings.
Victor Davis Hanson is one of the true voices of reason and sanity in the US today.....hopefully Americans will hear and heed his words!
He's a warmed over neocon. He's forced integration and mass immigration which will turn white countries nonwhite.
Racist
Trump was fulfilling Putin’s Christmas list, and Putin thought Trump would be re-elected.
We can all agree…Trump would have done nothing if Putin invaded Ukraine during Trump’s presidency.
@@TrilobitesRTastyyou are entitled to your opinion. I believe you couldn’t be more wrong. Ps. I did not vote for Trump but respect to him on numerous counts.
He used to be quite impressive. Now he sounds like he gets his talking points frommthe Daily Wire.
This is one of the best and most important 70-minute' interviews I've viewed in quite a few years. Great insights.
John Anderson has one of the premier interview programs anywhere; my respect for him is limitless: he always presents things in a calm, reasoned, civilized, and informed manner.
And Victor Davis Hanson is probably one of our three best minds, along with Thomas Sowell and (you decide).
Agreed. In the Western pantheon today I have Tom Sowell, VDH, Douglas Murray, and Dennis Prager.
You have made good choices. Murray, Sowell and VDH are superior thinkers and great speakers. @@todesque
@@todesque. I also like Dr Jordan Peterson
@@pamsnowberger1129 I like Peterson a lot and respect him enormously. But I find his delivery a little hard to listen to personally, and his first book was a mess, to be honest. But he is doing valuable work, no question.
Agreed 💯
Just Wow! In all of my years and going through college in the late 70’s-early 80’s I have never understood history and the political arena like this! These two men need to be on every talk show to school the world! I am a better citizen and equipped with broader thinking skill because of this ONE lecture! Brilliant! These men gave me hope that I had lost! My beliefs were aligned it’s this, I just couldn’t format it. Bravo! Huzzah! 🇺🇸🙏🏼💙💪🏻🇮🇱
One of the best hour interviews EVER!
I learn so much and so much is clarified for me when I listen to Dr.Hanson. We are so lucky to have him. And John and his show. Thank you.
Excellent. Two leaders expressing their views. We need these types of leaders in our government. Bravo John and Victor.
Congratulations John… Your excellent guest is a beacon on wisdom. I always enjoy listening to Victor and your interview didn’t disappoint… John, your interaction with all your guest is a reflection of your truely amazing intellect and wisdom. You are a credit to your country and a national treasure..
I am both proud and pleased that you are being now listened by the millions across the globe…
Again congratulations and thank you for sharing these interviews
Regards Andrew Wickham 🇦🇺
Hanson's clarity of thought is so impressive.
I could listen to Victor Davis Hanson all day. I wish more of our political leaders would listen to his wisdom. This is such an excellent conversation. Thank you!
I could listen to him all day also! He is so knowledgeable and calm talking…it’s refreshing to him speak!
Can you imagine taking 3-4 history courses in college, all of them with VDH as your professor?!
Awesome scholar!
Virtually every time I hear VDH speak I swear my brain has received a complete overhaul and reboot 😊
I love listening to Victor. This was a much needed sober, clear minded assesment of things.
The left has always favored masaquering babies, they have been doing it for years (abortion).
I only hope he is correct in his analysis. In CA among the younger generations I hear
anti-semitic comments constantly. It is as if they are unaware of history.
Are you talking about the history of how the Brits had the cheek to give land not belonging to them to a group of people who then displaced more and more of the indigenous people of that land?
@@cecebarnes7715 I find it ironic that these west coast Straussians are all about the proposition nation and that all people are created equal BS yet they are perfectly allied with people who believe they are God’s Chosen People - the most flagrantly supremacist ideology the Earth has ever known. Even more than Mean Mr. Mustache Man. 🤠
@@liz8560stupidity has to be learned and cultivated and you seem to have a bumper crop 😮😮😅😅
Two of my favourite people in conversation. Excellent!
Thank you, Victor Davis Henson, for the wise and knowledgeable analysis of the situation in the US and the world.
The more you see what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank, the more you realize how out of touch VDH is, or maybe intentionally blind to what is causing the violence in the occupied territories. Anyone who believes Israel has been "restrained" in its treatment of Palestinians needs only to take a look at what has been happening in occupied West Bank and Gaza for decades. From land theft, settler lawlessness ignored by authorities, extra-judicial killings by the IDF, an Israeli permit system designed to cripple the life of Palestinians in every conceivable way, livestock turnstiles that Palestinians have to go through to be able to cross the street, and to many daily humiliations that are just common place - the causes of violence are plain to see for anyone that wants to understand.
Fair warning, if you do decide to do some research into the treatment of Palestinians in the occupied territories, be prepared to be shocked to the core. If you don't want to have nightmares, stick with what is on TV, don't look beneath the surface.
This conversation between two practical, educated,intellectuals has given me more of a feeling of hope and purpose than I have felt in a long while. Thank you for this truly enlightening discussion.
False hope is merely a feeling...
wait a minute!
There's a difference between "Jews" (a descent) and Israelites (a nation)...
Here we are analysis from our arm rest chairs, but what we think has no relevance. Biden won't truly help Israel. Israel was caught by surprise. The Prime Minister has lost his prestige per Israelites.
Not that it's not interesting... (!)
Agree with you 💯
@@johndevilbiss6607agreed. Good thing this is not that!

This interview was pure gold! Thank you for posting it.
Thank you VDH for your consistent clear moral sanity. You are doing SO much good. May God bless you, sir.
What a great mature conversation! Thank you both.
Dr Hanson is such a clear speaker. He helps me understand politics that are extremely complicated. Thank you Dr Hanson.
Love this, you always hit the nail on the head. I'm from Middle America, Oklahoma the Reddest State and you are 100% correct, we in the middle of the country know what needs to be done and have known it for the last 30 years. We are angrier than we've ever been and are determined to get our country back to where it needs to be. God Bess America and all the Western countries in this war for Freedom.
Thank you Oklahoma!!! My Mom was from Oklahoma. She could put someone in their place without saying any bad words
She was a woman to be admired
My grandfather was from Chickasaw
bully for you being a 'Red State' but listening to the far left is just as bad as listening to the 'far left''; both sides are full of it.

Your comment was great until you mentioned getting our country back
Well said gentlemen. Thank you very much. I pray people wake up 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you John, a most insightful and honest discussion with Victor, Peace.

🤣🤣@@YowzaBowzaWowza
As a "bull headed" 75 year old conservative it's not easy to change my mind. Victor Davis Hanson so impresses me with his easygoing wisdom it compells me to seriously consider the points he makes. He brings out the reasonableness in the mind of those possessing a reasonable mind. More Americans need to be exposed to Mr. Hansons viewpoints.Somehow, he reminds me of the calm, reassuring demeanor of Dwight Eisenhower.
EXACTLY....you want the truth...Victor David Hanson is the go to guy....Intellect
Why AMERICANS!?! WHY DON'T YA MENTION THOSE WHO REALLY NEED TO LISTEN TO HIM! THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE AMERICANS! BUT HATE AMERICA! AND YA KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT! YA MIGJT BE ONE OF THEM!
Hanson is often factually wrong, but sure makes what he's saying sound real.
@@RorkesDriftVC Often?
Eisenhower warned us prophetically of the Military Industrial Complex, am I right? Thanks for YOUR comment on VDH, sir
John and victor did such a great job on this interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
Every his word is of price of gold!!!Bravo
Thank you for this great interview with Victor Davis Hanson.
Victor Davis Hanson articulated the dynamics of this situation in an extremely accurate manner. That’s surprising coming from a Stanford University professor and it’s very refreshing.
He is the last conservative left at Stanford.
This is his MO! I’ve been following him for almost a decade.
Thank you, gentlemen, for an excellent and timely discussion.
I will be sharing this with many who have need of an hour well spent.
May God bless you.
Thank you for this conversation. Each of us standing up with courage in our own standing.
I wish this was mandatory watching … what a clear, calm explanation of what is really happening!
"They have the institutions, but we have the people". Fantastic quote!
True but people are helpless in the face of institutions.
@@marianneginalski7564Sometimes the people create a galvenized movement that is a greater force than any institution.
Poland comes to mind.
An evil force creates itself, a good force only grows if taken care of and protected
But institutions come and go. People continue from one generation to the next and even though the young generation doesn't always "get it", they do eventually grow older and realize that it is up to them now to speak up.
Brilliant interview. Thank you, Mr. Hanson for making things clear. I've shared it and I hope many will listen.
Great interview. Thank you for sharing
John Anderson yet again delivers a master class in how an interview ought to be conducted.
Anderson lets his guests speak. It's very refreshing, old-school stuff.
But he is factually inaccurate about Democratic values and policies.
@@todesque It’s not just old school stuff, it is talking heads of people with real brains in their heads.
@@todesque Over stime, he will have competition from Steven Edginton, a very young journalist who also allows people to speak.

Absolutely stunning interview John & Victor. God Bless you both. The world needs your voices! I’m in my 70’s and after listening to you Victor, I’m more hopeful about the future of America than I have been in a long time. Thank you. I believe what you said about working to spread the truth in our individual sphere’s of influence. I need to get started.
Thank you Professor Hanson..
A brilliant and most heartening discussion.
Thank you John Anderson for bringing this conversation to us.
Oh please, he is a Trumper, Donald didn't know Jack about foreign policy, implying he was the decision maker for the demise of ISIS and nobody dared mess with the U.S when he was in office is laughable. Because he was buddies with Putin would have not stopped the psychopath Putin from invading Ukraine. Trump was a trigger happy President especially when he got offended in some way, and had to be called down by his Generals to not take action numerous times. I would like to see an interviewer that actually would challenge what this guy was saying.
Thank you both for such needed talk!
Such insights from two great men! I could listen to them all day!! And do whenever they show up on my listing!!
So much great thinking and guidance here. VDH always expresses with such clarity the important issues of the day.
This was fantastic! Such an intelligent conversation.
I'm always very impressed by Victor David Hanson's Wisdom, & Knowledge of True History & Current Events 👍🏻🇺🇲😎
Absolutely wonderful discussion. I plan on watching it several more times.
Amazing interview, truly genius🙏 Thanks for making this🙏
Thank you Gentlemen! Your conversation is hopeful, realistic, and I hope is appreciated by all who take the time to listen and take to heart what you’ve said.
I always listen to professor hansen because he always presents a thorough and logical view of issues. Western european countries have woken up to the dangers of "radical" elements within islam . The USA driven by the woke left has been far to welcoming and are paying a high price. Extremism anything is dangerous .
🤝👍
Exceptional interview! And full of hope in a world in distress
This was my second viewing of this episode. I want to congratulate both John and Victor for articulating these issues so perfectly. I agree completely with absolutely everything they said. Millions of Americans, Australians, and free peoples all over the world share your views. You speak for all of us in crystal clarity about the bedrock morality of our Western Civilization which is so imperiled worldwide today. There are powerful global institutions arrayed against us, masquerading under a cynical banner of "peace and social justice" when what they clandestinely really want is authoritarian power and suppression of all dissent.
Despite the dark tragedy of what the animalistic barbarians did on October 7th, Victor has given us hope that the silent majority in the free world is waking up to the reality of the existential threat facing all of us who at least vaguely comprehend the values of the Enlightenment that underpins our democratic societies. If we can translate that anxiety and understanding into political activism, we might, just might, fend off further descent into worldwide barbarism and inhumanity. I pray that Victor and John's tenuous optimism comes to fruition. Victor says that it won't be easy, but that he believes that it can be done. Amen.
Absolutely, yes Mr. Anderson! We need our elders wisdom and guidance to be one accord AND we need support from our predecessors for focused clarity and our peers for momentum. But, most importantly, we must operate in unity standing together against unexceptional, self-serving, denigrating expression to crystallize civic engagement for our successors.
Great discussion by great minds. I've been a fan of Hanson. He is very well informed, highly intelligent and has calm demeanor about him, just as his Sky news host. Thank you.
Excellent interview John. Victor’s analysis and wisdom are so sorely needed to be heard. A breath of fresh air.
An intellect as profound and practical, and yet not so much as a hint of pride, have met together masterfully in Victor Davis Hansen. May God bless him enormously, and replicate his compelling cognition all over the world.
Thank you so much,this interview has been so enlightening,Bless you!
Victor is brilliant. I am SO glad we have him to listen to. Great video. Thanks
Victor has such clarity of thought and it gives me hope listening to him
I second John's opening line. It's also a privilege to listen to his thoughts ❤
What a treasure!!! thank you, Victor Davis Hanson for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of what is happening in our world and country today. Your insights give me hope for the future of my children and grandchildren.
At a time of ominous tension it was reassuring to hear from Victor Davis Hanson about the resolve of middle America. I really haven't seen anything of that in our mainstream media. What impressive knowledge, critical thinking and analysis Victor brought to the interview.
An outstanding interview by you John Anderson. Really key questions which elicited many insightful and actually news breaking responses. And for an ex very senior politician you certainly know how to listen.
Thanks for the contribution you're making with this channel.
The world has gone backwards with killing one another. Only Christ's coming will sort the wheat from the chaff. It has to be dealt with!!! The world is lost and in a mess!!!
You two are sheer pleasure to listen to. Thank you.
Thank you for your message, it makes me feel more hopeful.
Can you imagine having VDH as your HS history teacher?? ❤
Thank you victor-you always make sense. You actually gave me a small measure of hope for sanity in this world.
I hope the good Lord lets Victor Davis Hanson live for another 50 years... we need people like this, and I fear there aren't many.
Yep. We’ve lost Kissinger, Reagan and soon to lose Chomsky to name two. Great men, not always right, but they THOUGHT. Which is severely lacking in the younger generations. They’re all about emotionally driven “experiences”....
I agree with Mr. handsome. True Patriot 🇺🇸❤️🙏
It is a pleasure to listen to these gentlemen. They bring fresh ideas and knowledge so people with moral clarity can have a better understanding of whats happenning in Israel and what Hamas represents. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them.
British person here.. I salute both these interlocutors . Victor D H is a top tier analyst .
I've always respected his sober and clear minded view of current affairs .
Another brit here and couldn't more
Agreed. From another Brit
Americans and Australians are what we are because of the liberties laid down in the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and the Petition of Rights. Our whole legall system has its roots in English common law. So, even those of us without significant British heritage owe a debt of gratitude to centuries of British citizens. Sorry about Mad King George, but he had to go. 💖🇺🇸🇦🇺🇨🇦🇳🇿🇬🇧
Excellent interview. Thank you both gentlemen. It was very enlightening and I hope you get millions of views.
Thank God for voices of reason. ❤️👍👍 Absolutely wonderful interview/conversation and truly much needed right now! 👏👍❤️❤️
Listened twice… always packed full of wisdom
Always a pleasure to listen to, I’m glad these interviews have kick started again. Appreciate your work John. From, South Africa
Thank you Mr Anderson for your words of wisdom!
This was a great discussion. One I really needed to hear this week. Thank you.
Today is Nov 2nd. Listening to this great thinker from 2 weeks ago the landscape has worsened in my opinion . He is spot on I would really like to hear what he has to say today. I hope I can find something .
Victor is brilliant, as always. You bring calm with such understanding.
Victor Davis Hanson is brilliant!
So very glad I can hear you, Victor Davis Hansen. Have not been able to receive your Ebooks of lectures. Such pure untangled rhetoric. Thank you.
Thank you Victor Davis Hanson for your insights and encouragment! You've put a smile on my face and given me hope regarding the country I love. You are truly a hero in my eyes and I am sharing your brilliance with everyone I know!!!! I would love to hear Condalisa's address to the Hoover Institute.

Victor Davis Hanson should be mandatory listening for everyone in America.
And in Canada !!!
And in UK !!! Especially Universities
Mandatory? VDH would never agree. I appreciate the enthusiasm but "mandatory ideology" is not in his nature.
And Africa, RSA in particular!!
And New Zealand.
Very interesting to hear this discussion two weeks after this started.
Please keep giving us gems like Dr. Hanson and Thomas Sowell.
Thank you both for an intelligent discussion of this pivotal issue!
