Biden is more conservative than the Republican four-star general Dwight D Eisenhower. Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes. Not a goddamn thing except cut taxes on the rich, cut social programs, deregulate, bust unions (whine about the national debt which is a nonsense scare tactic to cut social programs) once they always run up the national debt then they blame it on Liberals/Democrats. Thanks to conservatives the poor and middle-class now pay a higher tax rate than the rich for the first time in history. Thanks to conservatives promoting Thatcherism and Reaganomics wages have been flat for the last 40 years for the poor and middle-class while the top richest individuals have increased their wealth from $8 trillion to $47 trillion in the US since the 1980’s. This comes from Ronald Reagan’s own budget director David Stockman. Don’t buy into this rubbish. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Unless feel like a washed up person anywhere around him, and that was on my mind this morning. That's psychologically heavy stuff. Should be able to see that the total contrary. Well maybe helps wake them up. What a goof ball. What a goober. No wonder I find him cute.
Victor Hansen Is who ALL Americans need to watch Victor Hansen every day as much as possible!! The sad part about what is going on Many Americans have no idea what is going on!!
I have followed Hansen for years and I deeply admire him. I believe in what he is saying to us, and I believe that our time is almost up to make these changes.
😎. That was a time of brilliance and brilliant men now we have decadence and mush like Trump and Sleepy Joe. Humanity is going to take a beating going forward. Oh and Trudeau where I’m from ah hahahaha 😂😂😂🇨🇦
Yep. I enlisted in the Army. I hated it at times. In hindsight I am glad I did it. I got to see just how protected our US citizens are. It made me appreciate what i have.
Victor Davis Hanson is an amazingly smart man. I have always liked him but this is the longest I've listened to him and he is absolutely brilliant! Everything he says is 100% the truth!
I am currently establishing an initiative to recognize Maga as an oppressed minority group seeking Refugee status and homesteading rights in the Australian Outback. As I see it Australia gave us Rupert Murdoch, it's time to return the favor.
Yeah, nothing says "humble and wise" like, "that guy is the most dangerous radical in history ever." That sounds very level-headed and not hyperbolic at all.
@JaneyCOGNITIVE DISSIDENT , I think he's intelligent and informed. Your response is childish. People such as us, who look to wise and intelligent people, should also express ourselves intelligently.
VDH is the smartest man I have listened to in a long time I listened to him over 2 hours tonight! It's hard to listen to someone so Smart with such a massive vocabulary ! I really enjoy listening to this brilliant man! He explains Trump so well and the radical left as well!
Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever heard. I’ve been reading his editorials and listening to his interviews for years and continue to be amazed by his intelligence and insight. Love this man.

For those who also study and research history , current events and global issues it is difficult to disagree with anything other than what this man says. He simply points out whats happening without revenge, deceit or self interest. He just lays it out in simple terms.
I like Victor Davis Hanson, but he is flat wrong about Biden. He hasn't done anything remarkable except withdraw from Afghanistan. He's trying to be hard and tough like Trump but it comes off insecure, but he is far from radical. He hamstrings the left without Republicans even asking. What did he do when Democrats got a big majority? Negotiate with Republicans and slow things down. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Liberal regressives but Joe Biden is not radical in the slightest other than hot air. Nany P. Joe Manchin Joe Biden Chuck Schumer are all conservatives with increased taxes sprinkled on top.
@@SubvertTheState his mandates and unconstitutional vaccine mandates tell a different story. The fact that he’s now using his personal opinions while reading the 2nd Amendment and what rights it allows freedoms.

@@SubvertTheState He's being "hard and tough", but not in in any way that could even vaguely be described as conservative. He seems to be deliberately, systematically, trying to destroy America, and replace it with something else, different in every way that counts, including the demographics, the economy, the constitution -- pretty much everything.
@@SubvertTheState the Democrats never got a big majority. In the House or Senate. Just bc they’re in the majority, doesn’t mean they got a big majority. They actually lost more seats and lost seats they didn’t expect.

People need to plaster poster pictures, and good captions to capture others to at least check it out, look it up, instead sit and be entertained, and let their brain get mushy , loosing future possible Victor Hanson's .
I used to say "I wish I knew half of what he has forgotten" , but VD Hanson hasn't apparently forgotten a bit of history and it's intricacies and effects on the modern world. I don't believe we should worship a man, but we can sure value a man's deep and profound intellect.

What aurora below said, Thank God for Victor Davis Hanson. He is a brilliant mind combined with the ability to express it. Utterly awesome, am so glad he is among us speaking here on this earth.
"republicans believe that American institutions are controlled by their opponents" ... and in other news the political right believes freedom is a good thing and the rule of law is preferable to the whims of psychopaths ... yes, ideas that are radical to the anti-science, pro-slavery left and THE TELEGRAPH
I'm not sure he's on this Earth. He seems to be living on an Earth where the Democrats, not the Republicans have lost the popular vote and yet won the executive office. He may be talking to us from a timeline in an alternative history.
@@OolTube02 winning the “popular vote” is irrelevant to the 🇺🇸 system of choosing a president. It just doesn’t MATTER. Just like your team doesn’t win the Super Bowl simply because your fans cheer louder - wrong metric for success. VDH is talking about democrat policy proposals, which clearly do not enjoy majority support.
This is the most accurate assessment of what has been happening in our country. A small minority of powerful people are destroying our country and gaining control while sitting in the shadows. I hope more people wake up before it's too late.
The "ruling elite" think they will maintain their status when global socialism comes to be, but they will be demoted to the status of peasant like the majority of people and will suffer the same demise! Their illusion of grandeur will be vanquished before there bewildered eyes!!

@Turaglas True, that commie play by the republican party printing money out of thin air to loan to itself in 2008 for "free market capitalism" was so shameful! Never mind the 4 billion in cash they flew into Baghdad on pallets and handed out to sheiks without tracking where it went. Truly despicable.
Not really. His continued belief in a political solution to the problem of leftist institutional control is delusional. He himself admits there were massive "irregularities" with the 2020 presidential election, but he still believes voting for GOP politicians in the midterms will change things. Please. Maybe he's afraid of losing his cushy professorship at Stanford if he says anything spicy. I don't know. Regardless, the faith he places in our broken and corrupted electoral system is no longer supported by reality.

Ain't that the truth. He could discuss World Cup soccer history going back as far as it goes, and I could follow precisely. (And I am decidedly not a soccer fan.)
9 months later, Biden proves to be more radical than anyone could have ever even imagined. Victor Davis, a real unbiased teller of facts, saying how things really are.
I switched off after about 15s for the opposite reason as he is clearly biased and factually incorrect as he claims 'America is the longest surviving democracy'. Are ALL American social commentators biased and factually retarded? YES, IMO, every one I've ever listened to, bar none, on all sides of your mental-case politics.
Biden Most radical? Examples please This guy is a fraud Not acknowledging trump for the total incompident he is-not much of a historian This guy is totally unimpressive
Biden isn’t leading. It’s rule by a committee of his handlers. Joe Biden can hardly string together a few sentences. He’s a lackluster mouthpiece but the real agents of change are the ones pulling his puppet strings. I don’t like all the focus on Biden the person. Yes he lies every time he talks, but he’s not in charge here. The real leaders are a nameless faceless committee of wannabe Stalins.
Anyone who says Biden is a radical socialist is an idiot. Biden is many things and I have many criticisms of him, but he is NOT a radical Democrat. Not even close.
Early man came along He was not a man to control They were of a like mind To conquer was their goal So they built their great empires They slaughtered their own kind He died a confused man they killed themselves with their own minds
I don’t have no problem with my neighbors I live here in the free state of Arizona we are still free but we are getting invaded from people from California that’s dividing the people in many ways
That is what they want. Infighting, mistrust, and only one person to save us! It’s literally psychological warfare. They have us dived, next cones conquer. And all this is continuing under Biden who ran as a unifier, even though I feel it was inflamed and started by elements in his own party. That will be his job though unifier.

Give us a break. The antidote to Christianity is literacy. The cult fascists have Trump violently getting a photo of himself holding up a bible in front of a Christian church.

I totally agree - he's the best, but Dinesh D'souza is great, too. Historians are so valuable because the left's agenda works on the premise of erasing history.
Excellent interview. I appreciate the thoughtful questions being asked and the interviewer then letting his guest speech without interruption. Great job.
I've seen Prof. Hanson speak before live and in numerous YT bites, but this interview was his best so far for me. Thanks to both gentlemen! Fear not, everyone. Speak the truth.
Love this man. He is one person I will listen to again and again. Hes very smart knows his history and he is not afraid to speak out and be honest. Great guy!

Victor D. Hanson is a great reference for our people! His messages are vital. It's understandable he's aloof. Ironically though, people need to be able to access him or some representative(site perhaps) of his, to be able to absorb, present his ideas; answers to today's issues. And he can access the public in dialog if he wants, so on!

Additionally, people just don't want to return to work. even though there are jobs to be had. Exactly, what law or executive order did biden enact to cause this ?

When I socially interact with many of my fellow Americans, it feels like I'm drowning in a sea of ignorance. That's why it's refreshing to listen to a person like Mr. Hanson---a person who can think and reason. There are many Americans who will riot based on a 5-minute news clip. They seriously lack critical thinking skills.
... for the most part, freedom, real and true, is only a concept. And, free will, especially, is a very potent, illureing, seductive and highly compelling myth. A flowery, intelisic idealism, writ large and bold on parchments, papers, and into constitutions. Invisioned by imaginative dreamers, yet eforced by petty tyrants, the facts speak more clearly than any truthsayer; it's Constant Conflict, Crisis and Delema, from cradle to grave. Peace of mind, is an attainable state of mind, but only can exist with absolutely no thinking ...
We must gather our strength and maintain our sanity by associating with like minded people. It is not worth while paying attention to the vapid sycophants who are incapable of thinking for themselves.
National Review made a horrible mistake when the magazine parted company with Victor Davis Hanson. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most relevant voices on the right because he talks about "where the rubber meets the road" issues for the United States, both domestic and foreign. Always insightful, always relevant. National Review, on the other hand, continues to shed personnel, and seemingly continues down a path blazed by The Weekly Standard. It is understandable that NR is not a fan of Trump, but what is mind boggling, and something NR can not defend, is what the left would do to this country if everyone in the middle and on the right just threw up their hands and rejected Trump, and all the policies that his administration finally addressed (many of which had been long ignored by the GOP establishment). The biggest blind spot for NR seems to be the magazine has not awoken to the fact that the Bush 41 to Romney GOP is over, because it was not very good, and has put us in not just a real pickle, but a jar of pickles. Victor Davis Hanson does not suffer from this malady and completely understands what needs to happen in order to defeat the quasi-Marxists, the neocon warmongers, and various politically radical social engineers. He also understands that the successes are in red states, and were things are following apart are in blue states, and more specifically in metro centers with large populations.
Agreed. I haven't read NR in years. Buckley is the reason I'm a conservative. NR was everything to me. The bunch writing for it now are spineless weasels. They are so out of touch it's astonishing. I hope their subscriptions and circulation has plummeted. Traitors!!!
VDH should have his own show and get on prime time because he is a genius and we need his thoughts. I would love to have him talk about how important it is for people to put decent Americans involved in ‘local’ politics because that’s where it all begins. Also, we must live as we did decades ago, if we are to survive in today’s crazy world.

I love listening to Mr. Hanson. He has a good voice, is easy to understand, and, he knows what he is talking about.
I fear that we may not have another election.
Unless feel like a washed up person anywhere around him, and that was on my mind this morning. That's psychologically heavy stuff. Should be able to see that the total contrary. Well maybe helps wake them up. What a goof ball. What a goober. No wonder I find him cute.
Dr. Hanson is deeply intelligent and well informed.
He's the biggest bullshitter I've ever heard!
I agree he is my favorite to listen to about any situation going on around us. He explains things so well for anyone to understand
Victor Hansen Is who ALL Americans need to watch Victor Hansen every day as much as possible!! The sad part about what is going on Many Americans have no idea what is going on!!
I have followed Hansen for years and I deeply admire him. I believe in what he is saying to us, and I believe that our time is almost up to make these changes.
Time is up.
Its just a ride
Thank God for Victor Davis Hanson. A voice of sanity in a mad world...
I agree!!
Was Victor running with the mob January 6th?
@@222INFINITY minor protest. Nothing like Pearl Harbor as puppeteer pelosi compared it too. Nor was it like 911.
Here here
He sure is. Total respect.
Victor is very knowledgeable. He doesn't sugar coat it. He just tells the honest truth.
"We are the longest surviviing in history" I am from England !!
There is no honesty in these words. rBiden is a centrist.
Victor is a noromdiputs.
He is a American treasure in my opinion.
Almost nothing he said is true though.
Kudos for having VDH on your show. He is an American National Treasure and the more people hear his thoughts, the better!
Unfortunately his monotone and droll personality detracts from what he has to say. He's so damn boring to listen to even if he's right.
His plain way of speaking extremely difficult topics is rather impressive
I agree, people need to know the real radicals on both the left and right. Don't be a tool.
Professor from my area. A local done good. We are so proud of him as a community.
I took a course with him back when and was sold out. Love our valley boy Dr Hanson.

Victor Davis Hanson is an amazingly smart man. I have always liked him but this is the longest I've listened to him and he is absolutely brilliant! Everything he says is 100% the truth!
Ever grateful for Victor Davis Hanson.
Me too, he's very smart and likeable.
If I could, I'd give this video 10 or more thumbs up. He said almost nothing I might take exception with.
Intelligent and measured dialogue. Regards from Australia. The interviewer lets the subject speak without interruption. Nice change. 🦘
Surprised it's still on UA-cam
Watching from Australia here too. This was a great listen.
Maybe because he responds to the question and he does not deflect/evade like some other people we may know.
I'm so sorry to see what has happened Down Under...
I am currently establishing an initiative to recognize Maga as an oppressed minority group seeking Refugee status and homesteading rights in the Australian Outback. As I see it Australia gave us Rupert Murdoch, it's time to return the favor.
Victor Davis Hanson, Thomas Sowell and the like are examples of truly intelligent people, with the necessary ingredient of humility and wisdom.
This guy and uncle tommy are 2 of the most ignorant males to ever pop out of a woman. Your standards are extraordinarily low.
Yeah, nothing says "humble and wise" like, "that guy is the most dangerous radical in history ever." That sounds very level-headed and not hyperbolic at all.
@JaneyCOGNITIVE DISSIDENT , I think he's intelligent and informed. Your response is childish. People such as us, who look to wise and intelligent people, should also express ourselves intelligently.
Critics of this gotta be paid. Just gotta be.
Oh. My. God.
VDH is the smartest man I have listened to in a long time I listened to him over 2 hours tonight! It's hard to listen to someone so Smart with such a massive vocabulary ! I really enjoy listening to this brilliant man! He explains Trump so well and the radical left as well!
Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever heard. I’ve been reading his editorials and listening to his interviews for years and continue to be amazed by his intelligence and insight. Love this man.
Here’s why Hanson is an idiot or a liar. Biden is more conservative than the Republican four-star general Dwight D Eisenhower. Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes.
Not a goddamn thing except cut taxes on the rich, cut social programs, deregulate, bust unions (whine about the national debt which is a nonsense scare tactic to cut social programs) once they always run up the national debt then they blame it on Liberals/Democrats. Thanks to conservatives the poor and middle-class now pay a higher tax rate than the rich for the first time in history.
Thanks to conservatives promoting Thatcherism and Reaganomics wages have been flat for the last 40 years for the poor and middle-class while the top richest individuals have increased their wealth from $8 trillion to $47 trillion in the US since the 1980’s. This comes from Ronald Reagan’s own budget director David Stockman. Don’t buy into this dangerous rubbish. Don’t be a useful idiot.

For those who also study and research history , current events and global issues it is difficult to disagree with anything other than what this man says. He simply points out whats happening without revenge, deceit or self interest. He just lays it out in simple terms.
I like Victor Davis Hanson, but he is flat wrong about Biden. He hasn't done anything remarkable except withdraw from Afghanistan. He's trying to be hard and tough like Trump but it comes off insecure, but he is far from radical. He hamstrings the left without Republicans even asking. What did he do when Democrats got a big majority? Negotiate with Republicans and slow things down. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Liberal regressives but Joe Biden is not radical in the slightest other than hot air. Nany P. Joe Manchin Joe Biden Chuck Schumer are all conservatives with increased taxes sprinkled on top.
@@SubvertTheState his mandates and unconstitutional vaccine mandates tell a different story. The fact that he’s now using his personal opinions while reading the 2nd Amendment and what rights it allows freedoms. There are more then a few radical ways Biden is showing america and yes along side Pelosi and the rest.
@@SubvertTheState He's being "hard and tough", but not in in any way that could even vaguely be described as conservative. He seems to be deliberately, systematically, trying to destroy America, and replace it with something else, different in every way that counts, including the demographics, the economy, the constitution -- pretty much everything.

Agree
Thanks to The Telegraph and Steven Edginton for bringing us an outstanding interview with Mr. Hanson!
I used to say "I wish I knew half of what he has forgotten" , but VD Hanson hasn't apparently forgotten a bit of history and it's intricacies and effects on the modern world. I don't believe we should worship a man, but we can sure value a man's deep and profound intellect.
He's only an intellectual though, remember that.

Why don't we put Victor Davis Hanson on a special on national TV so all people can see and listen to him.
The current regime will never allow it on television or social media.
This is the most accurate assessment of what has been happening in our country. A small minority of powerful people are destroying our country and gaining control while sitting in the shadows. I hope more people wake up before it's too late.

Victor Davis Hanson is 100 percent spot on!
Not really. His continued belief in a political solution to the problem of leftist institutional control is delusional. He himself admits there were massive "irregularities" with the 2020 presidential election, but he still believes voting for GOP politicians in the midterms will change things. Please.

The presenter is a very smart young man. Good questions and great follow-up!
Victor Davis Hanson has the biggest bullseye of truth about the state of our country and how we've let it get to this radicalized position.
9 months later, Biden proves to be more radical than anyone could have ever even imagined. Victor Davis, a real unbiased teller of facts, saying how things really are.
I switched off after about 15s for the opposite reason as he is clearly biased and factually incorrect as he claims 'America is the longest surviving democracy'. Are ALL American social commentators biased and factually retarded? YES, IMO, every one I've ever listened to, bar none, on all sides of your mental-case politics.
I really love listening, to Victor Davis Hanson. He's one of the few, educated sound thinkers...out there.
Kudos and I usually agree with him.
Biden Most radical?
Examples please
This guy is a fraud
Not acknowledging trump for the total incompident he is-not much of a historian

Biden isn’t leading. It’s rule by a committee of his handlers. Joe Biden can hardly string together a few sentences. He’s a lackluster mouthpiece but the real agents of change are the ones pulling his puppet strings. I don’t like all the focus on Biden the person. Yes he lies every time he talks, but he’s not in charge here. The real leaders are a nameless faceless committee of wannabe Stalins.

It isnt horrific since Americans dont talk about it with their neighbors. We are all hush for fear of hate.

That is what they want. Infighting, mistrust, and only one person to save us! It’s literally psychological warfare. They have us dived, next cones conquer.

National Review made a horrible mistake when the magazine parted company with Victor Davis Hanson. Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most relevant voices on the right because he talks about "where the rubber meets the road" issues for the United States, both domestic and foreign. Always insightful, always relevant. National Review, on the other hand, continues to shed personnel, and seemingly continues down a path blazed by The Weekly Standard. It is understandable that NR is not a fan of Trump, but what is mind boggling, and something NR can not defend, is what the left would do to this country if everyone in the middle and on the right just threw up their hands and rejected Trump, and all the policies that his administration finally addressed (many of which had been long ignored by the GOP establishment). The biggest blind spot for NR seems to be the magazine has not awoken to the fact that the Bush 41 to Romney GOP is over, because it was not very good, and has put us in not just a real pickle, but a jar of pickles. Victor Davis Hanson does not suffer from this malady and completely understands what needs to happen in order to defeat the quasi-Marxists, the neocon warmongers, and various politically radical social engineers. He also understands that the successes are in red states, and were things are following apart are in blue states, and more specifically in metro centers with large populations.
Agreed. I haven't read NR in years. Buckley is the reason I'm a conservative. NR was everything to me. The bunch writing for it now are spineless weasels. They are so out of touch it's astonishing. I hope their subscriptions and circulation has plummeted. Traitors!!!
VDH should have his own show and get on prime time because he is a genius and we need his thoughts.
I would love to have him talk about how important it is for people to put decent Americans involved in ‘local’ politics because that’s where it all begins.
Also, we must live as we did decades ago, if we are to survive
in today’s crazy world.
This is a wonderfully worthwhile discussion. Pay attention America and we will survive this crisis.
Not if we don’t fight.
This is wonderfully scripted tripe. Nothing more. Never truly giving anyone the answers of why America has devolved, never speaks on who started communism or why, never speaks on anything really... just the same circle jerk bs i see on every mainstream site that's controlled and carefully curated for the masses.

Biden is more conservative than the Republican four-star general Dwight D Eisenhower. Eisenhower was basically on the same level as Bernie Sanders in terms of politics and economics. Look it up. Eisenhower taxed the super rich at 90% nominal of course and the economy boomed. Name one good thing Conservatives have done besides Eisenhower that benefits the poor and middle class? Biden is more radical than FDR? Biden is like a tea party Republican compared to FDR. This guy is a joke, as most right wingers are jokes.
Not a goddamn thing except cut taxes on the rich, cut social programs, deregulate, bust unions (whine about the national debt which is a nonsense scare tactic to cut social programs) once they always run up the national debt then they blame it on Liberals/Democrats. Thanks to conservatives the poor and middle-class now pay a higher tax rate than the rich for the first time in history.
Thanks to conservatives promoting Thatcherism and Reaganomics wages have been flat for the last 40 years for the poor and middle-class while the top richest individuals have increased their wealth from $8 trillion to $47 trillion in the US since the 1980’s. This comes from Ronald Reagan’s own budget director David Stockman.
Don’t buy into this rubbish. Don’t be a useful idiot.
Victor Davis Hanson is one of the intelligent analytic minds in the US. He truly understands and articulates current events, with great solutions to the massive problems we are facing. We need more folks like VDH to have a platform to educate people from the mass confusion and insanity that is happening in our world today.
nope not even close
@@brontehauptmann4217 DURRRRRRRRRRR
And Biden is a bigger crook than Al Capone.
VD Hanson is a propagandist for the greedy class. Greed, willful ignorance, and racism are NOT positive qualities of "patriotism".
He's a joke. He clearly doesnt understand basic political ideology and political spectra. Biden is a moderate. Lol what a fool.
Great interview. VDH is absolutely brilliant. The interviewer did an outstanding job.
I.ove to listen to Victor Hanson.
It’s sad that these politicians who deplore the middle and working class have forgotten where they’ve come from.
Thsts because they went straight into politics and became fossils there....we need term limits
That's not where most of them came from
It goes from aesthetic preference, to absolute certainty of superiority. The sneering glee in which this happens is sad. Even having empathy is enough to make uoi despised.
They are psycho/sociopaths.
They are beholden to no-one except their peers, handlers and overlords in the shadows.
Theyve been to rich for too long time to bring them in check
A big part of the problem is that people vote with their feelings and not on facts
They rely on and put their trust in the biased MSM which is owned and is a part of the Illuminati
@Jaegphh Hcunkelee I would favor some sort of aptitude test for voting. There is a large segment of the voting population who don't know that 46 was once VP. Really? And we expect those people to make an informed decision? The Dems also want to lower the voting age to 16. Not only is this idea entirely stupid, it's just more proof that the Dems are looking for the least educated to vote for them, to get in their clutches.
And importing voters through the southern border
@Jaegphh Hcunkelee or maybe they could educate themselves on the policies or lack there of 🤷♀️
Fact is those are two heads of the same snake
"The Frankenstein they created is now going after them." So well said, Dr. V.D. Hanson
You'd think he was talking about QAnon and the Capitol rioters, but no...
Academics/intellectuals tend to be very excited about the Revolution that they think is going to put them on top. Then they're the first against the wall when the psychopaths take over.
@@OolTube02 Is this 'QAnon' in the room with us right now? What about the 'rioters'?
We'll wait for your reply, Mr. Maddow...
Hanson's parents/grandparents were alcoholics from Europe. Ask him!
@@r.a.5086 good lord. Change the channel from CNN my dear brother or sister. Does your memory forget about the “summer of love” in 2020 when your friends at BLM and Antifa were trashing every city from coast to coast, burning buildings to the ground, killing police officers, killing innocent civilians, looting, rioting ....but of course their protests were “mostly peaceful.”
We need to vote as many democrats out of power as possible. They have screwed us so much we're likely doomed anyway ...but put Republicans back in power to at least by us some time.
Holy Macaroni‼️ Fabulous questions & Fabulous answers, responses, explanations‼️ SUPERB‼️💕🇺🇸👏🙏❣️
Yes superb
What a great interview! Victor Davis Hanson is such a fountain of knowledge and wisdom
@@FLAC2023 "Come on man"

@@lilmoe4364 During Reconstruction, hundreds of black men were elected to Southern state legislatures as Republicans, and 22 black Republicans served in the U.S. Congress by 1900.
A FEW DECADES LATER, THE ONLY SERIOUS CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION TO THE LANDMARK CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 CAME FROM DEMOCRATS.
Eighty percent of Republicans in the House of Representatives supported the bill. Less than 70 percent of Democrats did.
VDH should be a permanent fixture/advisor to all presidents. He needs to have 24hr security. He speaks truth and facts. 100%!
I concur and I think he is supportive of Pres. Trump's agenda for our country.
I agree . . . and I'd add Thomas Sowell to that list!
Agreed. A national treasure.
A brilliant man. I love when Victor Davis Hanson speaks.
Outstanding interview, and the interviewer allowed the person being interviewed to speak, something that is a rarity nowadays.
It is noticeable. In stark contrast to most MSM "reporters," that can't wait a second to get their opinion in there.
Hanson makes not mention of Trump over spending a trillion every year he was in office and it matriculated to inflation today.

True, very Rogan-esque
All conservatives want to do is maintain white rule over America. They fear diversity in America
Victor Davis Hanson one very brilliant individual.
VDH is probably one of the most brilliant people in the field of history, the classics, economics, and foreign policy who ever lived. That being said, he would make the perfect Presidential candidate. The problem? He’s terribly OVER-QUALIFIED for the job.
@@Gpcavana819 +
Yes, VDHis over qualified, very much so! He’s too nice a person to deal with the low life leftists.
@@Gpcavana819 nailed it perfectly 🇺🇸👊🇺🇸
I'm no rocket scientist and I swear this man didn't teach me anything I didn't already know.
Great interview and well done Steven. I love these long form in depth interviews. I am a long distance truck driver in Australia and I feel like I'm at university every day , so much nuanced analysis and insight. Victor explains so well what is actually happening here with the Left (Labor party)
Well not todays universities, they don't allow freedom of speech, conservative views , intellectual debate, just sayin'😉
I agree John. I enjoy these long format interviews. Victor is incredibly insightful, and has his finger on the pulse of what is happening here in the US. Many of us can see it, some are in denial.
@@MoiAussie1 I think he means the university of life. I know that in the last 6 months I've learnt so much about politics, journalism, law, biology, chemistry, virology, vaccinology, spirituality, discernment, history... far out its like a lifetime of learning in half a year... and yeah, university is garbage brainwashing.
It was really good and I appreciated Hanson's viewpoint. His inability to understand that people can have more nuanced views summed it up.
Universities do not usually teach biased, baseless disinformation bullshit, though.
I like President Donald J. trump and will vote for him again. A business man not a politican lawyer, or a swamp dweller.
Right on..well said
Just watched this today and my feeling of panic is tampered down. Victor speaks and I listen because I can tell he’s given the topic a lot of thought. The interviewer asks questions that I was thinking I’d like answered and he gives Victor time to reply without interrupting him. This interview was very timely with all the craziness in the U. S. and just when I was losing hope.
Really trying times for our country 🇺🇸
VDH is on point as always
Democrats love to see millions come over the southern border. They drool as they see future 'democratic voters'. These 'new voters' will be so thankful that they will show thanks by voting Democrat. This is why democrats don't want to close the southern border. Biden is moving these new voters to States where democrats need extra votes to win the next Federal election. Unfortunately, foreign terrorists are also building their numbers within the USA.
