The Presidential Election, Failing Higher Education and The End of Everything | Victor Davis Hanson
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- Professor Hanson joins John to discuss his new book The End of Everything, as well as the considerable unrest across America in the lead up to the 2024 Presidential election. They unpack the recent turmoil in higher education, and its aggravation due to the unchecked left-wing ideology of those in leadership. They also discuss the unassailable appeal of Trump among Republican voters due to his outsider status and combative persona.
They finish on a discussion of his new book The End of Everything, examining various historical parallels with our time, and the importance of recognizing patterns of decline to prevent another civilisational catastrophe.
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 book, The Dying Citizen, was published in October 2021. And his latest book, released on May the 7th this year, The End of Everything, How Wars Descend Into Annihilation.

It's just sickening how common sense has been destroyed.
Everything is fine but you binge-watch paranoia online and take the bait everytime, Dude. Any critical thinking skills? Let's chat about your pouting every July 4th, please.
RUclips Paranoia owns you, Dude. Any education? Let's chat about your paranoia.
@@martinkent333 You better look in the mirror. Seems like you may be paranoid and lacking some common sense.
@@KL-nj9oe Everything is fine, but you are too smug to check. You binge -watch RUclips and Podcast paranoia and find truth? Academics don't struggle with anything. Bold, know-it-alls, and more than proud to teach you, Dude. Any humility? Let's chat!
Deluded Old Men run everything & they even make videos for their talking points that we comment on. Of course we have to question if common sense prevailing was ever normal.
as an Iranian I could not bear the shame of living under islamic demagogues, so moved to the west some 43 yrs ago, its very painful to see self decline of western world, were we could live in a sane place, we must cherish what the west represent.
We now have islamo lefties in Europe. They are so clueless they don't realise how much freedom we have in the west.
Sams...the spiraling decline in education, the break up of the nuclear family hastens our demise.
@@tomshea8229 yeah but who's the ideological and financial backbone of the left? It's the jews...they brought this on themselves
The North Wind made the Vikings.
Arrogance and religious cultists....
Victor is a rare cross between an intellectual, common sense and good instincts. We need more Victor's.
What we really need is for ALL of us to become a Victor! Many of us, including myself, just stand in the background hoping that the other person will take a stand.
Really.. How many times you VOTED?? 😂😂😂
@@jpnewman1688 3,678,909 times! Just to even out all the fake mail in ballots.
@robertsanford406 You're right, we are the "Victor's".
@@jpnewman1688how many have you voted???
I think 3 terms for Obama is enough lets not give him a 4th
Really.. You think Barry is in charge of the RACKET?? 😂😂😂
Pfffffff, no kidding. What an endless disgrace.
They ALL sleep in the same bed @jpnewman1688
Nah, the granny big mike is.
One term was more than enough to damage the US irredeemably.
I’m proud of Victor for refusing to change his book for the CCP. If only more people had the courage to stand up to bullies.
@michaelsilveradventures5712 better stick to make believe adventure, factual historical fact do not suite you or these two.
Ditto
@@janinasimons8533 WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too. Hollywood changes up their movies to appease China showing a real lack of integrity!
Many ARE standing to "BULLIES" they're called "BRICS".
My friend's daughter came back a total mess with no skills after 4 very expensive years in an elite eastern college.
I wonder why he didn’t notice the decline over 4 years ?🤔
Yeah, that sounds correct.
That's on your friend. Why would he enable that insanity after even one year of that indoctrination . Bad parenting.
If her parents paid for it, she should pay them back.
Not everybody is collage material, we need to stop higher education from being a big business only looking at prestige and the bottom line taking government subsidiaries and just using it as a way increase revenue .. anyone notice that when the government gives more money to students higher education raises prices? It's no longer sending us the brightest and best but taking money for degrees that are basically useless ie; liberal arts, aka advanced basket weaving .. we need properly taught engineers, non - bias teachers, you know ..how it used to be, but with lower edit failing at the rate it is and students receiving the base education they are I don't see a reason in todays age for as many higher education out let's as there is,
John Anderson is a National Treasure ❤ So is VDH. What wonderful ‘old’ white men ❤❤❤
Amen❤
But he lives down under where things are more out of control than in USA
"White" man!!!? A most successful indoctrination.
Awesome interview! The world needs more people with the knowledge of Victor Davis Hanson...👍🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
"We are decivilizing at home and abroad." Terrifying.
Tribal
I am 28+ thousand days old. I returned from my service in the Republic of Vietnam when Israel won the Seven Days War. You two gentlemen top my list of 'my most admired human beings.' Blessings and Joy to both of you for your ardent pursuit and proclamation of TRUTH!
He is repeating the same old lies about Oct 7.
Haven't heard anyone outside of us South Vietnamese mention the old Republic of Vietnam for so long I can't remember
Thank you for your service 💕
@@casteretpolluxTell us what you think happened. Have you seen the film footage?
Beware of today's "Truths"!!! The REAL TRUTH was passed as the "FORBIDDEN FRUIT", a unique Being was Crucified because of it, many lose their lives and Julian Assange is lingering.
Thanks John Anderson for this discussion with VDH...he is a voice of reason, truth, wisdom and plain common sense in our decaying societies!
Mr. Anderson, we need Men like you, back in Parliament. We really do.
I live in Fl. Our Gov . Knows what he's doing
Yes sir, Gov. DeSantis is the best governor in the U.S. ...maybe the world!
Ronnie is the best - upholds the law and doesn't create unnecessary nonsense. central-swamper back at you.
would make the BEST VP
Well, your congress sure is, anyways.
Yes, and he got out of the Presidential race
Victor... wisdom in a world of fools and fakes. Thank you Victor, for standing up, and speaking truth
No education, eh?
@@martinkent333 GF your dog
A World of Fools and Fakes … would be a great title for book/commentary of main stream today.
One of the smartest men on the planet. Love his interviews .
More information here about our reality today than anywhere else in news or other media. Thank you for keeping us informed, VDR is a true voice in the new wilderness.
I am soon to be 50 years of age, born in Jerusalem, Israel and migrated to Australia in my late 20s with my (ex) de-facto Aussie female partner.
An Ausraeli by now if you wish.
I feel compelled to express my deepest, most profound gratitude to the esteemed participants in the above dialogue.
In a world turned upside down I cannot emphasize enough how personally moved I feel knowing that righteousness still exists in spite of the deception, chaos and incredibly dangerous, destructive forces currently sweeping throughout the entire world.
Civilization cannot save itself.
Only moral clarity and acts of bravery and sacrifice can.
Humanity is not, and never has been, a civilisation!
If the world is upside down, Australia must be on top - I guess that explains the real estate prices.
I met a Jew once…. Once !! LOL I’m from Texas. Been all over Australia 🇦🇺. Love it. Y’all need a July 4th holiday !!! Get the Queen off y’all’s money 💰 !! Shhhhh lol.
From the perspective of Christian doctrine and belief, it is the individual human soul that can be saved -or- lost.
A “civilization” is not saved or lost, but just a name for the battleground. (Full details are recorded in The Holy Bible.)
@@jamesyarnall6728 what is a “soul” .
I am never lost, only discovering new things or places I have not experienced or visited before.
Thank you, John, for continuing to interview VDH as the years go by. The conversations the two of you have are a wonderful blessing, and I always appreciate the insights you both share.
First Class subject and interview--VHD as always 10,000 % superb !!
Amen. 👏👏
VDH is a horrible liar, spreading disinformation about babies in ovens and other lies. He is either lying or ignorant about so called voting fraud. The only voter fraud is by Trump voters. This man is an imbecile.
Victor Hanson is so correct. Everyone needs to listen to him.
That was an excellent conversation, thank you John and Victor.
I wish VDH's voice could be heard by ALL Americans.... he could save our country, which is almost lost.
Almost? It is gone. this is just the beginning of the “new world order” literally. Lol. America is cooked. China and Russia are now sharing the spot we held for the past 80 years..
perhaps but you can never reach unconscious incompetents which is what seems to be in power. I agree with ya, but the dangerous people have been installed at this point.
Your paranoia is stoked! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@theOnly_Gatsby YOUR PARANOIA IS SO CUTE! Any education, Dude?
@@martinkent333 Thanks for the reaction, you're a perfect example of my contention.
Have been listening to VDH since covid lockdowns. He’s a gem, brilliant !
I' ve been listening to VDH since 2016 and you are correct always a fascinating conversation.
Paranoids know.......................
@@patriciayohn6136 Paranoids delight you? Why?
@@martinkent333 I don't know who you are or what your claim to fame is, but the fact you're spending time here shows your the one I suspect is paranoid. Why are you here to make yourself feel more superior!!!??? Gp play with your playmates@
@@martinkent333You mean your boss, Hillary, who is paranoid that Donald Trump, who was once her bestest friend and attended weddings with her and her “hush money” cheating, philanderer husband, is literally going to end democracy, yet still won’t shut up about how she really won the 2016 election. That paranoid one? Because there are others on your side.
God bless Victor, you look strong and healthy and I wish and pray for your success your continued efforts to understand and articulate today's events, I couldn't figure this world out without your scholarship and I thank you for it.
Here’s two individuals with a farming background as myself and with the combination of common sense, politics and academia they’re always very very interesting to listen to!
Lord knows we are running out of these folks
@@stanhill-yg5zi Paranoids? How educated are you, Rube?
Paranoids are adorable? What up, Dude?
@@martinkent333bot much?

Tremendous appreciation for VDH. He is minimally a national treasure.
VHD thrives in long formate ;thank God.
VDH is a gift of intelligence, experience, and common sense.
Incredible qnd enlightening discussion
@@perrybergman4967 Merely paranoia, Dude. RUclips paranoia owns you. Any education? Let's chat!

Thank you for helping me to understand what the heck is going on in this crazy world...I so appreciate the two of you!
Well done as always gentlemen. Whenever John Anderson and Victor Davis Hanson are having a conversation, I will be listening.
It’s horrendous what is happening and going on our campuses here in America!!
Higher Learning ❗❓. HIGH...ERR ❓❓‼️. THE ONLY THING HIGH ABOUT THIS KIND OF COLLEGE....
IS THE STUDENTS ‼️‼️🎯💯🤡🤡🎤
I lived my HS years during Vietnam and all the protests, never thought I would be living through protests again like this.
I’d say what’s going on there is pretty mild compared to the devastation that’s going on in Gaza
@@movado242apples and oranges
I could listen to these two ALL day
It is wonderful listening to intellectual giants.
@@roseosterndorf12659 in
That was chilling. I can tell when I'm being properly educated because I don't like what I'm hearing.
Please have Victor Davis Hanson on as much as possible...💯
I LOVE 💕 that man ♂️
He is so smart 🤓
Brilliant, and a little terrifying,keep it going John I hope you're speaking to the right people in our government. 👍👏🇦🇺
Me too 🫣🤝👏👍
Don't know how this works in Australia but if John Anderson could be prime minister while Douglas Murray is the UK prime minister and Donald Trump is POTUS, Geert Wilders is leading the Netherlands, Orban leads Hungary and Argentian President Javier Milei is still in office, we'd stand a better than even chance of saving Western Civilization.
@@TTFN55John was in politics decades ago, leader of the national party which represents farmers. He doesn't run as a politician any more. Whilst I like your idea, the real powers won't allow real change. Good luck with Trump though, the Pacific felt safer when he was in office.
The "right people" in our government? Gimme a break!
Yeah.. Let's keep VOTING then HOPE for CHANGE.. 😂😂😂
When I go to the gym I listen to these two fascinating gentleman instead of music.
As I’m working out on my body I feel my mind being excersized by their conversation and exchange. I’m getting the best of both worlds at once!
Calling someone an ideologue is an insult.
I do the same ... Strong mind, strong body! Love VDH
@@EvilMAiq Can you explain??
No one can summ it all up better than Charles Krauthammer and Victor Davis Hanson. RIP Charles. I do wish you were still with us.
These conversations will be listened to by many many people trying to understand what went wrong…These are two of the wisest men on earth and should be taken seriously by EVERYONE!!
Paranoids are always a delight at work. Any education, Dude? Let's chat about how stoked RUclips paranoia, makes you!
A meeting of great minds. We are blessed.
America is blessed to have VDH,to explain this crazy and increasingly dangerous world we’re living in today.
RUclips paranoia owns you. Any education? Let's chat!
Thank you JA , VDH ! 🇮🇱 🇺🇸
Awesome. Much appreciation and respect for you two men, who have the horizon in sight.
THank you John, we are blessed as a nation to have a man of DVH's character. HE is a true American hero.
You worship paranoids? Eat the bait, Rube? No education, eh?
Unfortunately he consistently blasphemes…I listen to him because he is wise, but cringe when he eases blesphmes God name😢
@@CC-uq4hu He stokes paranoia and blasphemes, Dude? So he's a bottomfeeder? How educated are you?
@@martinkent333 true…I should know better
Nobody delivers the historical perspective as well he does. An amazing wake up call. I wish everyone could hear and understand the importance and urgency of his message. Civilization is a thin veneer. And can disappear VERY quickly.
Very informative interview. Excellent host and brilliant guest. Thank you.
Thank you Two, for a very interesting
Conversation!‼️👍🙏
thank you for having VDH on.. I have been waiting for his return,.. Thank YOU!
Just received my copy of VDH's new book.
All i can type is, very difficult to put down.
The quote "it cannot happen here..." is eerily foreboding....
Read this people....
Thank you VDH !
Such a salient point: “It can’t happen here …”
And here it is, last days of empire.
Thank you John for hosting, and thank you for the Australian perspective.
It's always great to hear VDH, thank you for having him, Mr. Anderson! It is unfortunate and saddening that subjects get more somber and bleak, but that's the state of things in many places across the world.
What an articulate, insightful and impressive man.
Or, I should say, ‘men’.
If only you were our PM, John Anderson!
He’s right. Everyone likes to pretend we’re not savage but we certainly have the capacity for it.
Thank you for bringing us such high quality conversation and analysis.
Excellent and speaking the truth.
VDH is a treasure…I can listen to him for hours!
I would love for VDH and Sowell to have a sit down and talk about the last 70 years of world history
If you looking for history,just say:
The Germans, the French and the English have caused two devastating world wars in just 20 years.
The first killed about 20 million people.
The second killed 60 million people.
Then the U.S. joined them in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Panama, Chile, Guatemala, Al-Demenican … The list is long.
After all this in the past and the present, some of the sackers come out for you and lecture about civilized & peaceful society.
@@mohamedali2858 Someone rational has to attempt to make sense of it all! 😩
This comment made me feel like a definite 👍👍. Looking forward to a future posting. How good would it be to have all three men together.
@mohamedali2858 you forgot to mention the 20 plus million people Japan killed during World War II
@@sargentd3125 It is obvious that there is this stigma of shame on the foreheads of the Japanese, just like what was mentioned
VDH is a genius. I wish we could have people in elected office like him versus the lawyer class we are stuck with.
The lawfare has only strengthened my resolve to ABSOLUTELY vote for Donald Trump
When I see Victor Davis Hanson is your guest, I automatically stop and listen.
What a wonderful discussion and sobering wake up call! Thank you gentlemen!
Both of these men are a treasure. God Bless them.
This is the best talk show I have ever seen and understood ....
"Time is on the side of the barbarians." - Arnold Toynbee
John interviews Victor again = have to listen right now.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 % AGREED 👍 🤝 👏 👍👍
The ever illuminating VDH! Thank you mr. Anderson!
Thanks gentlemen
VDH is a brilliant man and everyone should take heed to anything he speaks reality
Love Victor Davis Hanson.
Thank you for your program and thank you for having Victor Hanson as a regular guest. He is the one of the Greats.
Excellent discussion. We love Victor D Hanson. Well done John Anderson
Victor has a great mind. We should thank him for sharing.
VDH -An American and Fresno County HERO...Love this neighbor of mine....God bless and protect.
Great conversation. VDH is the preeminent historian of our day. Thanks for the comprehensive dialog
Anyone wanting to see the embodiment of barbaric evil should visit the Nova Music festival exhibit. It makes clear the points in Mr Hanson's new book
Two of the most intelligent people on the planet. We should all take heed of what they are saying.

@@NeverAgain316 When you binge-watch folks stoking the Paranoid Machine, do you drool, Dude? How far down the rabbit hole did you go? Defending bottomfeeders who spread paranoia and disinformation shows your love of paranoia. How bored are you? Let's chat!
@martibkent333 what do you want to chat about. Do you Agree with what VDH is saying here
@@martinkent333Not twisted enough for conversion with someone like you
VDH is the oracle of wisdom and truth in terms of politics, foreign policy, and morality. If Trump is elected, I hope you will be a valued advisor to the new president. God speed, my friend. Semper Fidelis, Semper Amici!
Victor Davis Hansen can give more accurate viewpoint or analysis better than any legacy media. Love intellectuals. ( real ones)
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.....Prof. Hanson..... Any U.S. admin should rely on your perspective....
John Anderson and VDH .... doesn't get any better than this !
This was by far the most depressing analysis about the geopolitical state of the world I heard so far. But I am afraid it is true.
The end of everything…😢💔
My concern is what will replace it. Obama mentioned several times that he would fundamentally change the U.S. but I don’t believe he can escape the monster he has released and provoked!
Sobering is absolutely the correct description of this conversation. Thank you so much❤
I'm watching this again, all the way through a few days later. It is way too good to watch just once. How very true are the thoughts, the words of VDH.
He is absolutely a national treasure!
Never seen this country in this worse shape.
@@pierrelabounty9917 RUclips paranoia owns you. Any education, Dude? Let's chat!

Very precise analysis of the current situation in the world.
Thank you for the eye opening wisdom
Thank you so much for bringing us VDH. He is wise, learned, and compassionate.
SANITY from VICTOR DAVIS HANSON🙏🇺🇲
Thank you Dr. Hanson for your insight into our troubled humanity present & past.
Only one way to describe this conversation: excellent. Thank you, gentlemen.
Superb
I hope Australia is listening to mr Hanson and we learn from other peoples country mismanagement and unpatriotic acts and mentality
John Anderson’s show is awesome. Victor Davis is an amazing intellectual. What a fantastic combo.
Mr Hanson Is Correct Wise Man
My neighbor who is and elderly Communist told me how much he hates Israel and how awful they are. I asked him what he thought of October 7 and he told me it was all lies and exaggeration. I tried to explain how wrong he was but, he couldn't hear it.
How can you live a life through the second half of the 20th century, get to 70 and still be a communist?
It takes a special kind of blinkered loyalty
We have a far left leaning Democratic neighbor with vile hatred for Trump. No discussions welcome on other viewpoints. He is such a scary individual. And, the US is full of this behavior now. Blinded by hate.
Victor Davis Hanson speaks softly but he carries a big brain and heart...He deserves to be
heard....The world we are iving in appears to be crumbling before our very eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avery astute assessment of today's geopolitical situation.
Take heed lest we fall.
Love listening to VDH, a true scholar and patriot❤
America power, influence and quality of life peaked in 1960. Since then, it has been a slow downhill slide to perdition. And, thanks to Biden and company, the slide is quickening.
Trump is at least as much to blame as Biden. The problem is that we have 2 Distinctly Different Goals for America that are warring right now. Both sides believe the other is destroying the nation by moving away from their desired nation. It's not a slide it's a chasm with 2 Bridges an expensive new toll bridge on the left & a falling apart bridge on the right.
True that, the 1940 generation was the last good one, things have been downhill since.we are at the bare foot generation according to the Chinese.
Anyone can see that Mr. Hanson has something rare in this world: intelligence and integrity. I wish he would run for office, any office. This is the kind of politician we so desperately need.
Refreshing to hear intelligent men speak. So tiring to hear others speak that like the sound of their own voice and say empty words.
No education, eh? Paranoia is adorable? RUclips paranoia owns you. Let's chat!
Frightening thoughts expressed via reality and the weight of historical truths. Seize your day and love the gift of life as the journey does end.
Kind regards from a blue collar worker , me . Blessings to all and sundry.. Oh yeah, greetings from Sydney Australia.
