My dad was a carpenter, I remember working with him at a doctors office many years ago, the doctor needed a door hung. This was in the sixties before all the cool battery tools, so my dad used a chisel and hammer to carve out and set the hinges, a bit and brace to drill the holes for the lockset, he cut the trim by hand and crafted everything to fit and look perfect. He gave the doctor the bill, and the doctor complained about the price, my dad asked him why charged as much as he did and the doctor said something like, "I had to go through years of school and years as an intern to learn to be a doctor". So my father said to him, "I can't take out an appendix, but you can't hang a door". You can't argue that. I miss him and his simple wisdom dearly.
I'm also a carpenter. It's about 5-8 years to become efficient across the board. After 12 years into it, the amount of tools required as well as skill, yeah, I charge what I charge because I have earned it
@@danielpohl29Exactly, you don't have to pay me, you can go rent all these tools and then learn to use them yourself. These people really think that tradesmen like doing the work. I don't mind the work, I enjoy doing it for myself; but I'm only doing it for you for the money.
I meet loads of doctors and honestly they aren't really that smart. They just do loads of work and follow guidelines for everything. Having said that, I'd be useless at fitting a door.
Mike "I am 55 year old oil field worker in Alberta. When Victor talks about the farmers and soldiers paying the ultimate price for our ideologies it makes my eye's water. We need the working man and woman to be free, strong and prosperous. Thx you brother keep speaking the truth. Victor Davis Hanson has always been a favorite of mine.

God bless you because Foreman field workers, truck drivers, and our military are the backbone of the USA. It’s different than working for the railroad unless people worked in construction like they did years ago when the Railways were being billed, and that was super super hard, hot work, and backbreaking work working in the fields. God bless you and I don’t know where you live now but I’ll send you so much love from southern Virginia USA !!! I was born living in the city, but my grandparents lived in the country on a horse ranch, and I remember taking water to them in the winter because their water would freeze up, and when I was a little kid and we went to visit, we were always having to take water to them a couple times a day because occasionally it would get real cold here for a couple weeks and I remember carrying bales of straw and I was strong as an ox when I was 12 and kids with whom I attended school couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t lift what I did. I was a gymnast and a soccer player but I told them go do some farm or ranch work for about a month and tell me how you feel. Yeah you’re sore and really really sore for a couple weeks but then you get over it and you get strong

63 attorney here, after retirement I dedicated all of my time to restoring my house, which was built in 1944. I watched a lot of DYI videos, and learned to do simple plumbing and electrical repairs. And afterwards, when I needed to hire a plumber, electrician, roofer, etc., they would let me help whenever possible. I also spent a lot of time buying parts at the supply stores (and not at Home Depot). I have great respect for "honest" tradesmen, and in many ways I believe that they contribute more to our society than the +1 million lawyers practicing today.
Thankyou coming from a 68 year old master carpenter while I watch the supposed up and coming (carpenters) that are so full of it they have no clue what they're saying or doing
@@larrybulthouse455 Most of the industry is plagued by so many issues it's not worth the squeeze. For example: People who are running the "trade schools" are really selling product "systems," building "inspectors" demand the "systems" be used. There's comparable money to be made "streaming" videos if you're talented at all, which the trades also require. High wages for low skill work like burger flipping making the kids not want to get into the trades... because they can't rationalize only making a few dollars more an hour to lift heavy stuff in some of the most deadly jobs for, after taxes, another $150-$200/week, meanwhile they're a net loss for weeks if not months to train. The high rents, vehicle costs, insurance, etc makes getting them to buy their own tools basically a starvation lifestyle with no fun in downtime. If they're getting $1,000/week gross (about 700 take home) and their rent/auto/insurance/phone/food (1,000/250/250/50/400) is $2k a month..a single battery tool is most of their disposable budget. Illegals are everywhere in the trades and they aren't even checked for insurance etc. They never get messed with. Over half my competition is illegal and a good half of what remains is "good ole boy" boomers with illegal labor rolling over shelf LLCs before they break $150k in profit. You can buy illegals by the month from the cartels. It's food, shelter, and $500 per week per man that you pay the cartel guy, not the debt slaves. I've been offered, and I know guys that use them. The customers can't afford what they want, but they "saw it done on HGTV in a weekend." Insurers are dropping carpenters left and right, plumbing and electrical locks people into years and years of apprenticeships that I've personally seen abused repeatedly by boomers who didn't want competition. Most tradesmen now refuse to work under anyone because of the exploitation they experienced coming up. Like the 600,000 mechanic shortage, no one wants to get paid 50% of the profit for 100% of the work. As a master carpenter, how many apprentices do you have? I'd wager if not your own kids, it's none.
Tradesman became disrespected in this country; everyone wanted to be an academic. They removed autoshop, woodshop, metalshop from the schools; like it was dirty to work with your hands. Now we have a generation that can't do anything, but we have plenty of lawyers, politicians and police, who can't build anything.
This episode got me really choked up. My father was raised on, and worked his family's citrus farm. When he came of age, he like his older brothers, enlisted in the military. He worked hard as a diesel mechanic most of his adult life, in harsh conditions. He provided for his family and gave me and my brother a wonderful example to follow. This man wrote a check for my college education a semester at a time. He is a conservative and a very patriotic American. Yet some feel that HE is what's wrong with America, because he stands on his values and refuses to bend the knee to the entitled leftists that would have the nerve to call him "deplorable." I owe my father everything, and we in civilized society owe a debt of gratitude to all of those men and women who get up early, pack a lunch, and go off to do the hard work every day.
We're being manipulated into fighting about dumb stuff like race and gender, when in reality it is 100% a class war. Brilliant conversation, gents! Thanks.
The basket of deplorables did this to themselves, and they took everyone else with them. This is Ronald Reagan's American. This is the "free market." The identity politics of the democrat party are just their version of the southern strategy. Classic example of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
Hear, hear to that comment. It's not hard to understand Victor Hanson's explanation of what is happening in America and HOW we Patriots can help fix it.
We love Victor David Hansen and have a thing or two in common with him! I live in California and my Dad's name is Victor! RIP a Korean War Vet from San Antonio TX! We moved to beautiful California in 1962.My husband and I are from So.Cal and my husband went to University of Pittsburgh and the Cleveland Chiropractic College and practiced in LA until 2002! America is worth it!
This is the second time I've listened to this podcast. I could listen to these two speak all day long. Having them together on one platform is so interesting.
Two National Treasures on one podcast!! I agree, I wish, they would do one, once a month. It would take me that long, to look up the words in their vocabulary...lol I had a Great Aunt who lived in Fresno. I found it beautiful, with all the groves, the fresh air was amazing.
It's the same here in South Africa . . . farmers are not appreciated and under attack! 'If you ate today . . . thank a farmer' is a saying we have in this country.
My Grandfather had a 400 acre Farm in Charleston Tennessee. He was also the Tax Assessor. He would scream "The World is going to Hell in a handbasket "
Mike Rowe and Victor Davis Hanson was not on my 2024 bingo card but was an immensely happy surprise non the less. God bless you both, you guys are legends.
Victor plays the victim card very well. It’s shocking to me these two hadn’t realized human nature doesn’t change. It almost sounds like Victor is complaining about income inequality, just like the libs.
My bingo card is all over the place, but it is nice to hear this interview. I didn't see it coming either. Farmers here made me cry as each one sold off. They are all elder... so maybe they understand the cycle or it just got to hard and no one asks for help out here. They went to leasing.hanging in there, got some neices and nephews that need to learn.
Farmer's daughter here. You can't leave those values. They have followed me all my life and made me different from my colleagues. I am also a classically trained musician. My parents were Conservatives when it wasn't cool. But listening to them at the kitchen table and working with folks from the farm, that was the best education of my life.
I’m the opposite of you, because I’m the daughter of “ Communist learning “ intellectuals. I assure you, you can very much leave those values behind. Maybe that’s the answer………………They weren’t members of the “ Party” but pretty darn close. .
@@NuNugirl Congratulations on that lucky escape. Communism is an intellectual ideal (very misguided), whereas Conservatism takes the world as it is, together with all the "unfairness", which is not seen as an evil, it's just the way the world works, there is not need to correct or eliminate it. There should be opportunities for social advancement for those who wish to take them, for example via education. Those with intelligence and the ability to work hard can succeed. Farming teaches one about the raw reality of life, it's not fair, and the laws of nature rule supreme. Animals die unexpectedly, often in unexpected ways, and crops fail from drought, disease or insect attack.

My dad taught kids aviation at a public school and they graduated with a pilot license for free.. I miss my dad.. also I miss a time when our citizens were loved.
Fun fact for you Mike... I served in the Ranger Regiment, my father served in Korea, my grandfather served in world war II... And on and on it goes through the civil war war of 1812 revolutionary war even back into England where we served in the British army... My son just graduated from Tulsa welding school and I'll be damned if he's going to put a uniform on... America's going to have to find a different family to go and fight their wars in the future... I don't know who's going to protect the silicon valley families when the next war happens but it isn't going to be mine...
It's scary. My dad was Army and his 2 brothers were Navy. WW2 and Korea were their theaters although my dad was medically discharged during basic. Either way, that generation and those of us that carry their legacy is becoming forgotten. I understand where you are coming from.
@LongIslandMopars No, it was abused and they thought they could do anything they want with your endless support. Some classes are built on other people's hard work 💪 But that's all ending now. The pill 💊 has caused a lot of lunacy out there 😳 The moon 🌙 doesn't change. You're on PLANET EARTH 🌏 Survival is going to get up close and personal, very real, very soon.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. John 3;7 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh. Proverbs 1; 24-26 May 21, 2011 was the beginning of judgement day on the world - you were WARNED And it shall come to pass in that day, a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. Zechariah 14;13 "Tumult" = confusion & disbelief ...on purpose for the punishment of mankind. Division is the result. As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one: There is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. Romans 3; 10-12 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. Isaiah 24;17 NO ESCAPE Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3;7 { it is written } spoiler alert: 2033 = 'last day' GO look up: Ebible2 .com or Ebiblefellowship .org (timelines) ...that should disabuse you of the ignorant notion that "there are STILL brilliant, decent, down to earth people out there" DOES NOT MATTER T - minus 9 years and counting...
This was uplifting. My 47 year old son who has a Bachelor's degree in Pre-law and Sociology from UCR, went back to community college to learn H-Vac skills, and now has a $100,000 a year job as a dehumidication technician for a firm and travels, all expenses paid, all over the country.
@@christinahalikas9350you seemed to have missed the whole point of the post. It was not bragging, the OP was stating that someone with a pre-law degree was better off getting certified in a trade far quicker and cheaper which was much for lucrative for them. In essence saying that the dream being sold isn’t necessarily the right path.
Don't worry, the US and Western culture churns out men like these like confetti. We will never be short of great men who will step up when the hour is up. Countless have gone into the breach.
This is phenomenal, two brilliant, well educated, articulate Americans, that I would I be proud to work side by side with. Even being a 70 yr. old successful “blue collar guy” , knowing there’s still people like these left in this country gives me a glimmer of hope!
These are childless old men, shortly out the door of life, and that brings hope to you? That's fine, but if youth were talking like this & about similar things, I'd find hope in that.
I was just thinking the same. Both of these men are people I listen to on a weekly basis. Their combined wisdom is hard to deny . This video is one I think every American that is in touch with what is happening to our country today should watch.
Both Mike Rowe and Victor David Hanson are American national treasures. Both of you are a significant part of American history. Please stay good, strong and brilliant
Wish more would hear listen to this dialogue, hopefully it is happening. This is one of some of recent conversations that have presented huge truths, Tucker Carlson is another recent one with astounding facts, non-manipulative political narratives such as the leftist media.
@@daewalker3892I'm going to tell you something, humility it's not humiliating, is the ability to be welcomed everywhere you go. What you just did, it isn't as shrewd.
I went to school for a long time. I graduated with a doctorate in dentistry, but my son is starting an apprenticeship as an electrician and my daughter left college for the army. I'm very proud of them
Your son should do well as an electrician. I went through a ship fitter apprenticeship in San Diego. Also went through an electrical appreticeship In NV. I was able to purchase a few rental properties.
From one who grew up in Fresno, and returned to Fresno after experiencing the Orange County Elites, I throughly enjoyed this conversation and wholeheartedly agree with the overall sentiment. Thank you both.
HI MIKE, I'm a 71 yr. old retired construction worker in Arizona, I have been a fan of yours from day one that you were on TV, I very much admire you. Victor is such a National Treasure !!I love Victor !!
I'm 40 and in HVAC in new construction. I don't need a degree and work w my hands and brain and make almost 6 figures. No indoctrination needed. All the guys on job sites, 70% Latino, are DJT47 🇺🇸 😎
absolutely a national treasure....well rounded individual, well educated is putting it very mildly and tons of common sense...and is able to express himself in a way which is so enjoyable and understandable... and so relevant to the world we are living in on Oct. 26, 2024....the Case for Trump grows stronger every single day I live on this Earth at this time in history
Mike Rowe : I'm a retired Plumber of 45 years. I t was a physically hard job , and I made good money. Very few young are entering the plumbing trades, and a shortage is coming. Mostly it appears there is some disgust with being a plumber and working hard. I always had a job even in bad economic times.
Who are the elites going to call when they need a plumber or a roofer or an electrician? They don't know yet that they need the trades people the trades people don't need them
I didn't get to go to college. I only have a HS Diploma. I was sent to Vietnam. I attended a military tech school in electronics. i went to work for a major tech company for 38 years and retired a Senior Project Manager and Software specialist. My son didn't have college, only high school. I taught him at home electricity, computer hardware and programming as a teenager. He is now a commercial electrician and teaches electrical theory and code compliance at night classes at the union hall. He seems to be the future model for successful men. He has twin daughters 15 years old. One wants to be a chef and the other wants to be a welder so no college for them either. We live in Nebraska, the flyover state.
That account of the man who took his life is heart wrenching. I'm Mennonite, and we're historically mostly farmers. Yes, being a farmer is a pejorative term, and I spent a large part of my life feeling ashamed to say I was Mennonite. But the work ethic served me well, and now that I'm in my 60's, I say it unapologetically. (Not proudly, because that's not the Mennonite way lol). Farmers are the backbone of any country. Period. That's why they're under attack.
Mennonite are lovely people. In my area we just have to straighten people out from confusing you with the Amish. XD I would point out that you folks live the life that everyone on both sides of the aisle claim to want to live. With nature and natural, organic, community, environmental, egalitarian. So what is their issue? Don't forget a lot of time people treat something as a negative out of their own insecurity and inadequacies, and like children, they take it out on the other person. Most are rabid hypocrites who are compensating.
I’m from a strong German Catholic farming community. Hardest working people are farmers, who still understand growing food to feed their families. That seems to have been lost and in the past- made to seem ‘less’ so people can’t feed their own families.. a huge evil scam. God wants us to be able to feed our own families without relying on the grocery stores. There’s a beautiful trend back to ‘homesteading’. Which is helping to reteach skills that were being lost.
I love listening to Mike Rowe & reading Victor Davis Hanson’s books but I have come to realize that in America, the opinion of a 75 year old woman like me is neither wanted or accepted. I will continue to care about what is happening & vote but I’m afraid that the corrupt politicians & media are winning. I fear for my children & grandchildren.
Amen, our country simply cannot sustain this path we are on…if the Dems end up finding a way to slide ole Kamala in there, I honestly think this country looks a lot different by. 2030…if we even are a country. The way all this election drama works out in November, will not only affect the US for many years, it will affect the World…….shew this is gonna be insane, buckle up! ( Better start putting up food, and lots of ammo)
They both seem oblivious to who fought in the Viet Nam war. Another wasted effort. All of those coal miners, steel workers, and railroad workers felt like lab rats of the industrialists. Victor thinks those were the good old days.
@@jtjones4081How did they feel like lab rats? Was their personal information spread across the world where people can slice it and dice it and create a digital model where someone can emulate them enough that even someone who knows them cannot tell them from the real person? We’re those people forced to pay to support millions of people who have no legal right to be in the country but causing housing shortages and in extreme cases commuting heinous crime on innocent people? Tell me why those people felt like lab rats.
@@jtjones4081.....yeah....those days people could afford homes and send they're children to college..... When the majority of the population had the father in the home....
I grew up in the valley and this brought tears to my eyes. My family is a farming family and we work hard and I could not be more proud of where I grew up and the land that we were blessed with.
I absolutely love and admire how Mike lets Victor talk without interrupting him, like most hosts do. Great insights and words of wisdom! Thank you both.
Mike is such an HONEST & HUMBLE man. Truly admirable character traits. In ALL his shows & interactions with wkg. class ' muscular workers ' as he so aptly calls them he is always deferring & respectful to skilled workers he so admires & respects..We ALL huge fan of Mike Rowe🙏
It was definitely more of a thoughtful discussion, and the balance of conversation was refreshing. I felt I learned a great deal from both of them. Where we are in history presently is more a far correction from where we were headed. Thank you Victor and Mike.
My father was raised Quaker in Maine. Exceptional parents Full of the American dream. My grandfather lied about his age at 15 and went to WW1 in the Navy. Put himself through college, saved John Audubons childhood home from destruction and is nnow open to the public 😢He deeply loved this country. HEARTBREAKING to see the Devil taking over
We,the people have the power to beat the devils out of our inheritance, especially those of us who know our authority in Christ Jesus. (Luke 10:19) I'm not giving up till Yeshuah comes back or calls me home. You see why VDH calls us redder than red!
Thank you Mike for distilling it all down to a simple premise. Hypocrisy. It is absolutely the factor initiating this rebellion in every facet of modern society. From the grapes that are taken for granted to the 18 year old in the helicopter while the doctor protests, ‘not my son!’, to the handyman fixing some elitist’s door. There is a lack of respect and a demoralizing denigration of the people who hold this country together. The people who work hard everyday in the proverbial pit, and sometimes the literal pit, are feeling taken advantage of while CEOs take unprecedented bonuses and neglect the people who allow them to hold such a position. There is no loyalty or respect left to give when there is no reciprocation.
haymannd What an insulting way to describe one of America’s most intelligent, most highly educated man we have the privilege of listening to. Your ignorance is not appreciated! JMHO
Only the complicity Theorists think we're conspiracy theorist's. You know, people who think the government loves, or even cares about them, that the press would never lie to, or mislead them, and Big Pharma, who makes billions of their illness, actually wants to cure them from anything... Complicity Theorist's.
Yeah it's refreshing to see someone with such a sober take. Finally someone who understands both the left and the right. Are wolves in sheep's clothing. You can pick bad A or bad B when you vote XD
Thank you. I was confronted by a man from nyc on line who berated me, a midwesterner, about how we should be grateful to the northeast : that we would die without them. When I asked him if he knew where his food, fuel and good came from, he said I was illiterate on geography. I am in awe of farmers. Brilliant men and women with more on the line every day than I ever have had.
Just remember that there are many foregn adversary trolls either AI generated or human that are doing everything they can to divide us here on the internet. 2 months after russia invaded Ukraine I noticed that the negative comments were almost nowhere to be seen. Subsequently I heard on the news that large corporations were pulling out of russia including internet technology companies which left russia without internet access. Technology companies need to fix this asap.
As someone from the northeast I sincerely apologize for some of my fellow neighbors. We are all Americans and need one another for America to be at its best. So ignore those folks and know that we are not all like that.
If NYC continues on its current course and Wall Street closes and all major financial centers have to be relocated to a redder state area because crime and societal instability has become so intolerable, that smug Northeasterner will quickly find out just how _little_ places like NY, MA, ME and CT produce and haven't since the early 1970's. Crabs and lobsters are luxuries, not standard goods that sustain you in austerity/wartime. The garment/textile industries in the NE are gone just like the steel mills and coal mines in PA. And I'll also bet he couldn't name(much less own) even 5 basic financial/investment products prevalent to his vaunted NE seaboard region financial centers. The capital/job-producing/Euro former immigrant descendant class flight out of the NE urban/suburban centers, will only accelerate this demise. Only proud manipulated rubes who consume NE/pop-lefty propaganda literati garbage from NYT, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair then fall asleep watching MSNBC, would ever believe(much less utter), such regionally biased ignorance.
Thank you Raymond. l too am Vietnam era veteran. Served 4 years active duty 1966-1970, all during that war but was never posted there. I can’t explain to people nowadays how heartsick we are over what’s happening to our country. These two gentlemen do a good job of saying it for us in their own way God Bless them and all the veterans of the 1960’s and 70’s and veterans of all times.
I am a machinist in a steel mill that's over 100 years old. It is an amazing experience. Some of the people you meet are so dedicated and the absolute backbone of our society. I have worked with about a dozen guys that have had 40-52 years in the plant. To see a blast furnace up close is a humbling experience.
Thank you. I grew up in the shadow of the blast furnaces and Bessemer Hearths of the original Steel Valley, and saw them demolished a decade ago. Amazingly ‘engineering historians’ made notes of the construction of the Homestead mills’ for posterity’It’s all gone, what isn’t is rusting away.
My husband worked at US Steel in Pittsburgh. He had a love/hate relationship with the job but was proud to be part of the steel industry and the history the company and industry had in the area and the building of this nation. He witnessed a work fatality and he eventually chose to leave a few years later because carrying the burden of his employees work lives and safety was too much for him to bear. He still tears up when he discusses the event. My dad was in construction and had a fatality on a job he was supervising. Those events changed both my father and my husband forever
@@richardcampbell8685 I think it's a bit of being in denial and looking the other way. However, if people pay attention to the news, by now, adults over 30 have heard about shortages in the trades, including some professions, such as nursing and teaching. Too many people think they need to pursue millionaire status, so they won't even consider blue collar work. They'd rather starve and hustle (trying to rap or run some kind of legal, but dodgy business scheme).
Excellent interview…best I’ve ever heard. Both VDH and Rowe are two of the best “intellectuals” ever to walk this great Republic. …if only these two were in charge of the country …
Can we imagine a Civil War and a Revolution, simultaneously? Does anybody alive today know what the Second Amendment was given to us for by our Founding Fathers?
"so brave", for what? Kid cant drink a beer, but can be sent to kill in another country? Also the older dude supposed to be some big brain, but he supported war of terror in Iraq. And YOU, and your husband thinks this is awesome. For the same reason 85% of the world hates your regime
Thank-you Mike for this great conversation. I have so much respect for Victor Hanson he has such calm insight into what is right and wrong with our country.
Victor seems completely unaware that the only great industrialists used to be the spectacularly wealthy elite, and all the things he complains about in the new elites, they were guilty of. Victor just hates that the industrialists no longer make the most money. He’s so lacking self awareness.
VDH + MR= common sense + sanity I worked on my 300 acre farm nights and weekends and a full time job during the day. Every year taxes went up, prices went down for goods. I hired four guys to pick fruit. After paying them and providing a lunch, i noticed that my three hundred dollar air compressor was stolen. Lesson learned. It doesn't pay to hire workers. Next year i also noticed fruit production was pitiful, why? Because the hired hands broke off the fruit bearing spurs off the year before. We're told this is the way to prosperity. We're lied to everyday.
We need our farmers & blue color hard workers. They take care of us! My mom use to say, if the mayor or garbage men left who would you notice being gone?
Note; Congress and all relevant agencies ARE doing a thorough investigation into what happened in PA! WTF is he talking about?? Fox isn’t constantly talking about it anymore either, because that’s not how the news cycle works!! Geeez Victor is such a whiner!
@@promethiac2641we are of God, created equal souls within a freedom concept to create life as a gift back to a God and the founders of this country. Science has created the mental concept that these human bodies evolved from apes, not in the spiritual awareness of greater than science intellectual concepts. These men are educated but with highly evolved souls of concern beyond the mental self. VDH gave many examples from his own father to current generations without foundations of purpose in life. Spirit beings learning the human life or the humans learning of the spiritual life.
Mike Rowe, thank you so much for letting your guests speak, it is greatly appreciated. Journalists today like to hear themselves talk, they can learn a lot watching you. Great interview.
Exactly. What surprises me is how few people object to the narcissism. But then, they aren't really journalists, and are more of activists; take that grotesque "intro" at the NABJA to Trump. 🤮 As if that weren't enough ... imagine if journalists could see themselves as we see them; for the stenographers they really are. How do those people accept _approved messaging_ cards, or the _authorized questions to ask the regime_ without quitting. SURELY they realize what they're doing doesn't even RESEMBLE journalism. In which you could make a montage of 50-100 of them pumping out regime media every day. How can they possibly have any self respect..? And how do they not realize that if they're asked to repeat it [by] the regime, that it must mean the opposite is true..? What was interesting was to hear VDH repeat that many of the faculty at universities realize their institutions have completely corrupted their telos. Which means they know they're self immolating now. At first, democrats were just assuming that if POCs went to college that they'd suddenly be smart (whether they were or weren't) by merely attending. But instead of making people who traditionally wouldn't have gone to college smart ... they made colleges that graduated them dumber, and resulted in either mismatch and dropping out for the rest (see: Heather Mac Donald's work). How glorious it'd be if there actually [were] tests given to grads irrespective which university you went to, in order to have some parity within the meaning of their diplomas and fake GPAs. Personally, this is another VDH interview I will listen to more than once. Just outstanding.
Good interviewers pose great questions then let guests run... you know who will really riff if you let him? Gen Mike Flynn, I wonder if Rowe has or would interview him.
Absolutely true. And one of the worst offenders and 'interrupters' is our own beloved Sean Hannity. I love Sean but can't even listen to him much anymore because he continually talks over his guests. It's to the point of being ridiculous.
So proud of my hard-working, muscular, smart, rough carpenter husband. He's a great provider, honest and trustworthy. He has so much business (referral based only - no website), he's never short of work. Hoping that one day he can train our grandson in the Trade. Great guest and video. Thank you!!!
I am a tradesman, this interview was the highest compliment Victor and Mike could ever give me. I feel like a brain surgeon. Thanks brothers..So goes Glory!
Im studying very hard to get a foot in the door in Information Technology with a long term goal in network security. I was a ranch hand from 14-19, then sustained back injuries in the army. Everyone is extremely important. Including you. I get emotional because i cant contribute to the world in the same tangible way you can. Yet i have my purpose, and i find comfort knowing that well intended men and women like yourself are working tirelessly to keep our world spinning.
@BailyXpres ...in the right direction. ⁹To keep the world spinning in the "right" direction; otherwise, we're losing our way. God help us. We needs more men like these two. NOTE: Sorry for your back injuries, and yet, your place is sure; no one can fill it but you because everyone is unique, and, yes, "extremely important." Thanks. 😊👍👍👍
@@BaliXpres Thank you!. Another high compliment. I am sure you feel it as you articulated it well but I am going to spell it out in plain english for anyone else reading this... You are a human being. The definition of a human being is That which has Infinite Potential. All you require to attain any goal is Infinite Liberty and Freedom. I wish you well in your goal.
@@BaliXpres If I may offer a bit of advice as I also suffer from a chronic back injury. Look into getting a device called a "Teeter Hang-Up" . Get the original, not an imitation. It has worked a miracle on my back, my wife's neck and many others I have recommended it to. It is an inversion support device that induces traction on your spine. In physiology there is a Law called "Wolf's Law. It states that Connective tissue is laid down along lines of stress. Out of proper native alignment and the body will begin repair out of alignment and reinforce the disease state. This has a negative impact on nerves, vessels, lymph, surrounding tissue and endocrine system. Chronic inflammation follows that can lead to decompensation in other nearby structures and systems and even to cancer risk. Inducing proper alignment via traction allows your spine a rest. Opens up blood flow to areas compacted by gravity. It allows fluid to flow back into the spinal discs and rehydrate. This opens up the intervertebral foramen (holes) where the nerves pass through. Via Wolf's Law...allows your body to repair itself in proper alignment. Combine this with good nutrition, stretching Range of Motion exercises, breathing techniques and strength training and it is possible to fully heal and reverse a chronic injury. I dont know your specific case so you should consult with your Dr about it. One last thing. Though you can fully invert upside down, its not recommended to do that if you cant tolerate it...Rather, the best results are when you invert 5 degrees to 15 degrees or so. It can be set up with stop limits so there is no fear of getting stuck upside down etc. During inversion you would relax into it and do some deep breathing and subtle lateral movements to get the spine to straighten out. I wish you the best recovery!
Excellent calm. My family was one of the family’s that built Yale and the fall from meritocracy is appalling let alone the journey into arrogance - and led by fools who never could have built it…. Narrow minds … thank you for this podcast
No need to choose! Assert your God-given rights and have both if them there with you! You may figure out a way to get off the island-but wait!!…. Maybe you all won ‘t want to- keep learning, discussing
I had a feeling that this meeting of the minds was inevitable, and it finally came to fruition. I can not get enough of these two. When their notifications ping I'm listening.
Best hour I’ve spent in 20 years! Of course I’m an 85 yo widow and life is not that exciting but Victor, you’ve been my hero since I first heard you - years ago! I push you on EVERYONE I talk to! Please accept my thanks for all your views! Haven’t disagreed yet! So glad you’re not shy! Love you! Susan
Sadly voices of life experience & sanity from baby boomer gen. are being taken over by next gen's ie Millenials & GenZ who are mostly atheists, narcississts & morallly corrupt with college degreea !! They are devoid of character building life exp. & life skills Baby Boomers aquired & lived thru. egs. hardship then boom of post WW2/ Cold War/ Vietnam War, Civil Rights & 7Os Femiist movement etc. etc ALL character building & hisrorically defining.🤔
Is it the empress has no close! Bravo Victor David Hanson .Common sense Human nature and education all come together ! I’m 90 years young Carry on , we depend on voices of reason!
2 wonderful, intelligent and down to earth men bring us the truths! My hopes & prayers - more folks wakeup and soon! Thank you to all the 🇺🇸AMERICAN🇺🇸 farmers and miners! Ya’ll rock!!💖😇👥⚖️🔔🔥😎💯👍🏼
Victor Hanson was a HUGE HUGE HUGE supporter of sending us Servicemen off to Iraq to be murdered and to murder innocent poor people, a very evil man ro say the least, other than that I don't know much about him nor do I care, he's a psychopathic warmongering lunitic. Could you imagine working your entire life and that's how folks remember you, I'm a 22 year active duty military Veteran and that's how we remember him...
I have three very smart grandkids who, even though offered scholarships, chose to learn welding and construction along with heavy-duty machines. They are happy and make good money with no student debt. I have another in 4 year University (their oldest brother) on a full 4 year scholarship. His younger brother's in the trades will make more than him in the end. It's kind of crazy, but they each chose their own path and are happy in their choices. I love Victor Hansen and listen to him when ever I can. This was a great video.
My Father had a welding and steel fabricating Business. He lived to be 84. RIP Herman Miller and Mother Reba passed away 9 months later. She was 82 yrs old
They would be making better money with the right 4 year degree. The data says your kid on the 4 year scholarship will make the most in his lifetime. Oh, and unlike the others he won't have a hazardous job that leaves him crippled by the time he is 60. Here is another thought, if you don't like the direction this country is headed, you need to be sending your kids to good universities to build influential careers that change things. Welders and machine operators are not the ones calling the shots in this country.
Appreciate this interview listening as election tension rises October 20 2024. The perspective of Victor Davis Hanson is very much needed. I love the story of his 6 day re-roofing with the hispanic enthusiastic super organized and athletic team. That was absolutely exciting.
Love you guys! Common sense is so encouraging! I'm 72 and I can see Americans and the rest of the people of the earth waking up to their rights to choice! What an amazing time to be alive! I went to Selma High and graduated in 1969. My family had a grape ranch, and we experienced what Victor talked about! Thank you, Victor and Mike!
Common sense is not common any longer. People under 40 who have never picked up a shovel, changed a tire or skinned knuckles working have no understanding how close society is to crumbling.
Just retired as a 30 year electrician, commercial, industrial, some residential. After a three year hitch as a Marine Infantryman, i then got into doing , Carpenter/ laborer work first for a few year's. Then tried the electrical field. Like any trade the first few year's is hard mentally and physically, but once you start learning... you start to get confident and it makes it all worth it. No one can ever take the experience away from you! You will always have work, especially these day's. The knowledge, hard work, and pride you gain, can only be experienced...if you live it! Not an easy road... but you're very proud to have done it.
That is a great idea, or have a class that studies The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Federalists Papers, watch this interview and then require a well thought out paper. Yet, finding principled, thoughtful, and dedicated teachers could be difficult.
Michoacan Mexican Americans are workers. They know soil, rootstocks, and how to gently remove the fruit without ever compromising next year's harvest. For 20 years I have lived in a great diverse community in the Fruit belt, and have heard all the slurs against us. Thanks, Mr. Hanson and Mr. Rowe, for defending the productive fields that sustain our great, multi-ethnic nation.

Among those effects which are all too obvious in today’s society are the extreme violence so classic of PCP's fame with the impulsive murder & suicide (even in our school shootings), parents killing their own children & children killing their parents, the suppression of natural affection designed to end strong family units by producing narcissistic personalities & "a change in gender" with transgenders with all types of sexual diversity no one has ever heard of before - a serotonin nightmare - all of which I have been warning of, writing about, documenting cases, testifying as an expert in those cases, & doing media interviews on for 3 decades now with Pharma doing everything they could think of to prevent anyone from hearing my warnings!🥲😢 It has been so sad to witness & horrifying for someone like me who has never been able to watch a horror movie in my life, yet now while documenting these cases I am forced to witness & detail the most horrific cases imaginable! Even Court TV calling me a couple of decades ago because they were wanting to know more on an upcoming case they were covering & I was working on, but after hearing about only one or two cases asked me to please not share any more as they could not handle hearing any more. That was until they had to report the case live of this 12 year old boy they had initially called me about who blew his grandparents away in bed before burning down the home with them in it. Because in the middle of covering that case they had to report the news of a case of a 16 year old boy in NM who shot & killed his whole family on the same med & a 16 year old girl in ID who shot & killed her parents in bed on the same med in the same way as the 12 year old. All three cases involving the same med. In shock they gasped & asked live on the air, "Wow! What is it with teenagers & Zoloft?!" So I answer your question with, YES!

And Mr. Hanson I have a personal task for you in the case you shared in detail of your friend so clearly determined to die. For his sake & the sake of his family would you please do everything you can to find out which of these drugs they gave him to cause him to take his life? You gave us all the reasons he had for which they would have prescribed these deadly drugs for him but what you described is called "suicidal ideation", a listed side effect I helped to get listed on these drugs. To describe what that term means all you need to do is to replace the word "ideation" with the word "compulsion". They produce a determination to die & cause you to ruminate non-stop on any & every means to accomplish exactly that! I, therefore, have little doubt by what you described that his death was caused by suicidal ideation produced by these drugs no differe t than the 21 year old Washington state girl whose case came in last year as she used a chain saw to decapitste herself. Loved ones deserve answers & I pray for the day these companies are prosecuted for pre-meditated murder with these drugs! And I use the term premeditated because they knew full well the effects before bribing the approval of these drugs & putting the right people in place to get them into the hands of an unsuspecting public - people who publicly stated that if people knew what they had done they would chase them down the street to lynch them!

The Michoacan farmers are stellar at the Berkeley Farmers Market. They are great growers who have influenced the grape wine growers in the Napa region.
Hi Mike, I love your videos. I have to tell you I found this book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets, where she talks about lies behind health industry, would really suggest to read it.
One of the most brilliant Americans of all time. If only the politicians would listen to Hanson, Thomas Sowell, and David Limbaugh (yes, Rush's brother), there could be true progress.

Super conversation, and hail from indigenous tribe from the central coast of California. My family are/were into agriculture and we raise all of our own stock, as we have done for hundreds of years, so I feel all of the emotional perspective of this guest. I have held this similar conversation with peers and strangers alike in the last year. The near future is so inflammatory that we found it very important relocate to a somewhat more rural area just because I see what's on the horizon. I am retired navy intel, so I know "things", and I still have family and friends serving on active duty, so I hope folks take precautions every day and be self and situationally aware at all times.
I am grateful to ALL those with a public voice who speaks the truth. The truth of where we are in North America, and that we absolutely must turn this around. Now. I'm a God fearing, truth seeking prairie girl in Saskatchewan. I see this all here. My mom's friend works at a dollar store. People come in, load up their cart, do not pay and walk out. Nothing happens to these people. Our current culture is the twilight zone. I have so much respect for manly men who can build things, and fix things and basically run our society. Without you guys we would have nothing, thank you. God bless each of you guys who speak up and play a part in turning things around ❤
This was such an emotional episode for me. All of the men on my father’s side were working class, and all served in the military in one way or another. My father served two terms in Vietnam. His family was poor. He had no resources for college. He was drafted. It makes me feel so saddened that young, working class men have been so demonized they no longer want to serve. Though the reasons for a country entering war might vary from the justified to the nonsensical, the one uniting factor of these men is their willingness to die for their country. Although I miss him everyday, I’m relieved he did not live to see this. It brings tears to my eyes.
If I was American I wouldn't join to be honest lol. The last 10 wars were full of genocides. Not 1 country o earth has massacred as much innocent people as USA.
@@shanejones578 and @Nunya1986 I disagree - no one should be expected or forced to serve in an unjustifiable war and die for their country when the USA lies and is the aggressor. I applaud these young people for not believing the lies and justifications for unjust and unjustifiable wars.
79 years old, college educated in Southern California, raised a family there, however now as a grandmother , watching the decline in morals, educational standards, family values, political sabotage taking place my solution has been to leave California, buy acres of woods,build a simple cabin, and just enjoy by family, friends, and rusticate..there is a melancholy peace and a sadness for our declining civilization.
My dad was a carpenter, I remember working with him at a doctors office many years ago, the doctor needed a door hung. This was in the sixties before all the cool battery tools, so my dad used a chisel and hammer to carve out and set the hinges, a bit and brace to drill the holes for the lockset, he cut the trim by hand and crafted everything to fit and look perfect. He gave the doctor the bill, and the doctor complained about the price, my dad asked him why charged as much as he did and the doctor said something like, "I had to go through years of school and years as an intern to learn to be a doctor". So my father said to him, "I can't take out an appendix, but you can't hang a door". You can't argue that. I miss him and his simple wisdom dearly.
I'm also a carpenter. It's about 5-8 years to become efficient across the board. After 12 years into it, the amount of tools required as well as skill, yeah, I charge what I charge because I have earned it
@@danielpohl29Exactly, you don't have to pay me, you can go rent all these tools and then learn to use them yourself. These people really think that tradesmen like doing the work. I don't mind the work, I enjoy doing it for myself; but I'm only doing it for you for the money.
I meet loads of doctors and honestly they aren't really that smart. They just do loads of work and follow guidelines for everything. Having said that, I'd be useless at fitting a door.
🎉😂😂😂🎉❤🎉😅😅😅🎉
Great story! A tradesman dispensing wisdom to a doctor of medicine, priceless!

63 attorney here, after retirement I dedicated all of my time to restoring my house, which was built in 1944. I watched a lot of DYI videos, and learned to do simple plumbing and electrical repairs. And afterwards, when I needed to hire a plumber, electrician, roofer, etc., they would let me help whenever possible. I also spent a lot of time buying parts at the supply stores (and not at Home Depot). I have great respect for "honest" tradesmen, and in many ways I believe that they contribute more to our society than the +1 million lawyers practicing today.
Thankyou coming from a 68 year old master carpenter while I watch the supposed up and coming (carpenters) that are so full of it they have no clue what they're saying or doing
WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT THE GUTS TO GO IT ON OUR OWN OR ELSE BECOME A BUM.😊
@@larrybulthouse455 Most of the industry is plagued by so many issues it's not worth the squeeze. For example:
People who are running the "trade schools" are really selling product "systems," building "inspectors" demand the "systems" be used.
There's comparable money to be made "streaming" videos if you're talented at all, which the trades also require.
High wages for low skill work like burger flipping making the kids not want to get into the trades... because they can't rationalize only making a few dollars more an hour to lift heavy stuff in some of the most deadly jobs for, after taxes, another $150-$200/week, meanwhile they're a net loss for weeks if not months to train.
The high rents, vehicle costs, insurance, etc makes getting them to buy their own tools basically a starvation lifestyle with no fun in downtime. If they're getting $1,000/week gross (about 700 take home) and their rent/auto/insurance/phone/food (1,000/250/250/50/400) is $2k a month..a single battery tool is most of their disposable budget.
Illegals are everywhere in the trades and they aren't even checked for insurance etc. They never get messed with. Over half my competition is illegal and a good half of what remains is "good ole boy" boomers with illegal labor rolling over shelf LLCs before they break $150k in profit. You can buy illegals by the month from the cartels. It's food, shelter, and $500 per week per man that you pay the cartel guy, not the debt slaves. I've been offered, and I know guys that use them.
The customers can't afford what they want, but they "saw it done on HGTV in a weekend." Insurers are dropping carpenters left and right, plumbing and electrical locks people into years and years of apprenticeships that I've personally seen abused repeatedly by boomers who didn't want competition.
Most tradesmen now refuse to work under anyone because of the exploitation they experienced coming up. Like the 600,000 mechanic shortage, no one wants to get paid 50% of the profit for 100% of the work.
As a master carpenter, how many apprentices do you have? I'd wager if not your own kids, it's none.
Tradesman became disrespected in this country; everyone wanted to be an academic. They removed autoshop, woodshop, metalshop from the schools; like it was dirty to work with your hands. Now we have a generation that can't do anything, but we have plenty of lawyers, politicians and police, who can't build anything.
@@skeetorkiftwonand people wonder why no one wants to do these jobs.
It is so damned refreshing, listening to two VERY wise Men talk about the real world and the challenges we're facing!
Thank you, both!!!
This episode got me really choked up. My father was raised on, and worked his family's citrus farm. When he came of age, he like his older brothers, enlisted in the military. He worked hard as a diesel mechanic most of his adult life, in harsh conditions. He provided for his family and gave me and my brother a wonderful example to follow. This man wrote a check for my college education a semester at a time. He is a conservative and a very patriotic American. Yet some feel that HE is what's wrong with America, because he stands on his values and refuses to bend the knee to the entitled leftists that would have the nerve to call him "deplorable." I owe my father everything, and we in civilized society owe a debt of gratitude to all of those men and women who get up early, pack a lunch, and go off to do the hard work every day.

Farmers are unsung heros. ❤
For real. They should be making the salaries of corrupt politicians
No fixing the farms..we will have to grow our own..big food and pharma has half the population to sick for anything...
It's the same here in South Africa . . . farmers are not appreciated and under attack!
'If you ate today . . . thank a farmer' is a saying we have in this country.

It almost sounds like Victor is complaining about income inequality, just like the libs.

They are all elder... so maybe they understand the cycle or it just got to hard and no one asks for help out here. They went to leasing.hanging in there, got some neices and nephews that need to learn.
What about the dude in the lower righthand corner ?? No ones talking about him lol
Farmer's daughter here. You can't leave those values. They have followed me all my life and made me different from my colleagues. I am also a classically trained musician. My parents were Conservatives when it wasn't cool. But listening to them at the kitchen table and working with folks from the farm, that was the best education of my life.
I’m the opposite of you, because I’m the daughter of “ Communist learning “ intellectuals. I assure you, you can very much leave those values behind. Maybe that’s the answer………………They weren’t members of the “ Party” but pretty darn close.
.
@@NuNugirl Congratulations on that lucky escape. Communism is an intellectual ideal (very misguided), whereas Conservatism takes the world as it is, together with all the "unfairness", which is not seen as an evil, it's just the way the world works, there is not need to correct or eliminate it. There should be opportunities for social advancement for those who wish to take them, for example via education. Those with intelligence and the ability to work hard can succeed. Farming teaches one about the raw reality of life, it's not fair, and the laws of nature rule supreme. Animals die unexpectedly, often in unexpected ways, and crops fail from drought, disease or insect attack.

My dad taught kids aviation at a public school and they graduated with a pilot license for free.. I miss my dad.. also I miss a time when our citizens were loved.
Unimaginable in a public school. Heroes!
Fun fact for you Mike... I served in the Ranger Regiment, my father served in Korea, my grandfather served in world war II... And on and on it goes through the civil war war of 1812 revolutionary war even back into England where we served in the British army... My son just graduated from Tulsa welding school and I'll be damned if he's going to put a uniform on... America's going to have to find a different family to go and fight their wars in the future... I don't know who's going to protect the silicon valley families when the next war happens but it isn't going to be mine...
Ditto
It's scary. My dad was Army and his 2 brothers were Navy. WW2 and Korea were their theaters although my dad was medically discharged during basic. Either way, that generation and those of us that carry their legacy is becoming forgotten. I understand where you are coming from.

Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity, I will mock when your fear cometh. Proverbs 1; 24-26

And it shall come to pass in that day, a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. Zechariah 14;13
"Tumult" = confusion & disbelief ...on purpose for the punishment of mankind. Division is the result.

@@christinahalikas9350you seemed to have missed the whole point of the post. It was not bragging, the OP was stating that someone with a pre-law degree was better off getting certified in a trade far quicker and cheaper which was much for lucrative for them.

This is phenomenal, two brilliant, well educated, articulate Americans, that I would I be proud to work side by side with. Even being a 70 yr. old successful “blue collar guy” , knowing there’s still people like these left in this country gives me a glimmer of hope!
They're both educated, yet blue collar. I loved all the books behind them both.
I'm blue collar by choice even though I have a degree in mathematics
Voctor is obviously a smart guy, but he seems to have a hard time completing a sentence.
These are childless old men, shortly out the door of life, and that brings hope to you? That's fine, but if youth were talking like this & about similar things, I'd find hope in that.

I was just thinking the same. Both of these men are people I listen to on a weekly basis. Their combined wisdom is hard to deny . This video is one I think every American that is in touch with what is happening to our country today should watch.
Both Mike Rowe and Victor David Hanson are American national treasures.
Both of you are a significant part of American history.
Please stay good, strong and brilliant
Wish more would hear listen to this dialogue, hopefully it is happening. This is one of some of recent conversations that have presented huge truths, Tucker Carlson is another recent one with astounding facts, non-manipulative political narratives such as the leftist media.
Treasures? I'm not signing onto that. I will say their voices are important. So too are the millions of commoners, such as myself.
I am glad someone recognizing their value, and voices it!

From one who grew up in Fresno, and returned to Fresno after experiencing the Orange County Elites, I throughly enjoyed this conversation and wholeheartedly agree with the overall sentiment. Thank you both.
VDH is The True U.S. Historian/National Treasure.
Thanks Mike.
HI MIKE, I'm a 71 yr. old retired construction worker in Arizona, I have been a fan of yours from day one that you were on TV, I very much admire you. Victor is such a National Treasure !!I love Victor !!
I'm 40 and in HVAC in new construction. I don't need a degree and work w my hands and brain and make almost 6 figures. No indoctrination needed. All the guys on job sites, 70% Latino, are DJT47 🇺🇸 😎
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
absolutely a national treasure....well rounded individual, well educated is putting it very mildly and tons of common sense...and is able to express himself in a way which is so enjoyable and understandable... and so relevant to the world we are living in on Oct. 26, 2024....the Case for Trump grows stronger every single day I live on this Earth at this time in history
Mike Rowe : I'm a retired Plumber of 45 years. I t was a physically hard job , and I made good money. Very few young are entering the plumbing trades, and a shortage is coming. Mostly it appears there is some disgust with being a plumber and working hard. I always had a job even in bad economic times.
Who are the elites going to call when they need a plumber or a roofer or an electrician? They don't know yet that they need the trades people the trades people don't need them
I have been trying to get my son into plumbing trade school for about a year now. lots of applicants
There is a severe shortage of plumbers where I live, and if you get one, the price is very high.
Know someone who has been trying to get in the trades for several years now. He can't. You can't unless you have connections. It is sad.
From what I have seen for men there is a growing interest in the trades.
I didn't get to go to college. I only have a HS Diploma. I was sent to Vietnam. I attended a military tech school in electronics. i went to work for a major tech company for 38 years and retired a Senior Project Manager and Software specialist. My son didn't have college, only high school. I taught him at home electricity, computer hardware and programming as a teenager. He is now a commercial electrician and teaches electrical theory and code compliance at night classes at the union hall. He seems to be the future model for successful men. He has twin daughters 15 years old. One wants to be a chef and the other wants to be a welder so no college for them either. We live in Nebraska, the flyover state.
That account of the man who took his life is heart wrenching. I'm Mennonite, and we're historically mostly farmers. Yes, being a farmer is a pejorative term, and I spent a large part of my life feeling ashamed to say I was Mennonite. But the work ethic served me well, and now that I'm in my 60's, I say it unapologetically. (Not proudly, because that's not the Mennonite way lol). Farmers are the backbone of any country. Period. That's why they're under attack.
Absolutely, much love. Let’s stick together!
No need to be ashamed of being a Mennonite. Many, MANY worse things one could be.
Mennonite are lovely people. In my area we just have to straighten people out from confusing you with the Amish. XD
I would point out that you folks live the life that everyone on both sides of the aisle claim to want to live. With nature and natural, organic, community, environmental, egalitarian. So what is their issue?
Don't forget a lot of time people treat something as a negative out of their own insecurity and inadequacies, and like children, they take it out on the other person. Most are rabid hypocrites who are compensating.
I’m from a strong German Catholic farming community.
Hardest working people are farmers, who still understand growing food to feed their families. That seems to have been lost and in the past- made to seem ‘less’ so people can’t feed their own families.. a huge evil scam.
God wants us to be able to feed our own families without relying on the grocery stores.
There’s a beautiful trend back to ‘homesteading’. Which is helping to reteach skills that were being lost.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF MEN THAT ARE FAR & FEW BETWEEN😢. SO very impressed with both their intelligence & ability that easily share🪽 it.❤🎉👏🫶🏻🌷🌿🕊️
I love listening to Mike Rowe & reading Victor Davis Hanson’s books but I have come to realize that in America, the opinion of a 75 year old woman like me is neither wanted or accepted.
I will continue to care about what is happening & vote but I’m afraid that the corrupt politicians & media are winning. I fear for my children & grandchildren.

They both seem oblivious to who fought in the Viet Nam war. Another wasted effort. All of those coal miners, steel workers, and railroad workers felt like lab rats of the industrialists. Victor thinks those were the good old days.
@@jtjones4081How did they feel like lab rats? Was their personal information spread across the world where people can slice it and dice it and create a digital model where someone can emulate them enough that even someone who knows them cannot tell them from the real person?

My thoughts exactly
It was definitely more of a thoughtful discussion, and the balance of conversation was refreshing. I felt I learned a great deal from both of them. Where we are in history presently is more a far correction from where we were headed. Thank you Victor and Mike.

Thank you Mike for distilling it all down to a simple premise. Hypocrisy. It is absolutely the factor initiating this rebellion in every facet of modern society. From the grapes that are taken for granted to the 18 year old in the helicopter while the doctor protests, ‘not my son!’, to the handyman fixing some elitist’s door. There is a lack of respect and a demoralizing denigration of the people who hold this country together. The people who work hard everyday in the proverbial pit, and sometimes the literal pit, are feeling taken advantage of while CEOs take unprecedented bonuses and neglect the people who allow them to hold such a position. There is no loyalty or respect left to give when there is no reciprocation.

Thank you. I was confronted by a man from nyc on line who berated me, a midwesterner, about how we should be grateful to the northeast : that we would die without them. When I asked him if he knew where his food, fuel and good came from, he said I was illiterate on geography. I am in awe of farmers. Brilliant men and women with more on the line every day than I ever have had.
Just remember that there are many foregn adversary trolls either AI generated or human that are doing everything they can to divide us here on the internet. 2 months after russia invaded Ukraine I noticed that the negative comments were almost nowhere to be seen. Subsequently I heard on the news that large corporations were pulling out of russia including internet technology companies which left russia without internet access. Technology companies need to fix this asap.
As someone from the northeast I sincerely apologize for some of my fellow neighbors. We are all Americans and need one another for America to be at its best. So ignore those folks and know that we are not all like that.
Let them keep thinking that way just makes thing's easier for us down the road.
If NYC continues on its current course and Wall Street closes and all major financial centers have to be relocated to a redder state area because crime and societal instability has become so intolerable, that smug Northeasterner will quickly find out just how _little_ places like NY, MA, ME and CT produce and haven't since the early 1970's. Crabs and lobsters are luxuries, not standard goods that sustain you in austerity/wartime. The garment/textile industries in the NE are gone just like the steel mills and coal mines in PA. And I'll also bet he couldn't name(much less own) even 5 basic financial/investment products prevalent to his vaunted NE seaboard region financial centers. The capital/job-producing/Euro former immigrant descendant class flight out of the NE urban/suburban centers, will only accelerate this demise. Only proud manipulated rubes who consume NE/pop-lefty propaganda literati garbage from NYT, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair then fall asleep watching MSNBC, would ever believe(much less utter), such regionally biased ignorance.
The coastals will eat each other without the Midwest.

And Mike Rowe !
I am a machinist in a steel mill that's over 100 years old. It is an amazing experience. Some of the people you meet are so dedicated and the absolute backbone of our society. I have worked with about a dozen guys that have had 40-52 years in the plant. To see a blast furnace up close is a humbling experience.
Thank you. I grew up in the shadow of the blast furnaces and Bessemer Hearths of the original Steel Valley, and saw them demolished a decade ago. Amazingly ‘engineering historians’ made notes of the construction of the Homestead mills’ for posterity’It’s all gone, what isn’t is rusting away.
How many young men work there?
My husband worked at US Steel in Pittsburgh. He had a love/hate relationship with the job but was proud to be part of the steel industry and the history the company and industry had in the area and the building of this nation. He witnessed a work fatality and he eventually chose to leave a few years later because carrying the burden of his employees work lives and safety was too much for him to bear. He still tears up when he discusses the event. My dad was in construction and had a fatality on a job he was supervising. Those events changed both my father and my husband forever
America need more people like Victor, especially in politics

This isn’t rats in a maze, it’s frog in a pot of water gradually coming to boil. Most won’t notice until they’re cooked.
You’d be surprised how many people are aware
@@richardcampbell8685 I think it's a bit of being in denial and looking the other way. However, if people pay attention to the news, by now, adults over 30 have heard about shortages in the trades, including some professions, such as nursing and teaching. Too many people think they need to pursue millionaire status, so they won't even consider blue collar work. They'd rather starve and hustle (trying to rap or run some kind of legal, but dodgy business scheme).
The frog must make his life-saving leap really early or be lured into thinking he's just in a hot-tub.

Thank-you Mike for this great conversation. I have so much respect for Victor Hanson he has such calm insight into what is right and wrong with our country.
Victor seems completely unaware that the only great industrialists used to be the spectacularly wealthy elite, and all the things he complains about in the new elites, they were guilty of. Victor just hates that the industrialists no longer make the most money. He’s so lacking self awareness.
You are dillusional or mistaken. Dr. Hanson likes neither.
VDH + MR= common sense + sanity
I worked on my 300 acre farm nights and weekends and a full time job during the day. Every year taxes went up, prices went down for goods. I hired four guys to pick fruit. After paying them and providing a lunch, i noticed that my three hundred dollar air compressor was stolen. Lesson learned. It doesn't pay to hire workers. Next year i also noticed fruit production was pitiful, why? Because the hired hands broke off the fruit bearing spurs off the year before. We're told this is the way to prosperity. We're lied to everyday.
So sorry for your losses. This makes me sad that people we should all appreciate and need get treated like this.. Its horrible!
Hiring is a big problem. You have to search hard for good help and train them with very clear instructions.
U need to go to s church an hire from there 😂
In California government has shown everyone that theft is ok… at least where Democrats run the government.
Were these illegals you hired?
Very interesting discussion...
Glad I came back & finished watching the whole discussion..

We need our farmers & blue color hard workers. They take care of us! My mom use to say, if the mayor or garbage men left who would you notice being gone?

Victor is awsome and so are you Mike
Note; Congress and all relevant agencies ARE doing a thorough investigation into what happened in PA! WTF is he talking about?? Fox isn’t constantly talking about it anymore either, because that’s not how the news cycle works!! Geeez Victor is such a whiner!
So Victor lived on a farm that was paid off by his previous generations. Sweet. Land being the most unaffordable part of farming.
Two good men together, declaring God's wisdom, and encouragement needed for all of us. Thank you.

Mike Rowe, thank you so much for letting your guests speak, it is greatly appreciated. Journalists today like to hear themselves talk, they can learn a lot watching you. Great interview.
Exactly. What surprises me is how few people object to the narcissism. But then, they aren't really journalists, and are more of activists; take that grotesque "intro" at the NABJA to Trump. 🤮 As if that weren't enough ... imagine if journalists could see themselves as we see them; for the stenographers they really are. How do those people accept _approved messaging_ cards, or the _authorized questions to ask the regime_ without quitting. SURELY they realize what they're doing doesn't even RESEMBLE journalism. In which you could make a montage of 50-100 of them pumping out regime media every day. How can they possibly have any self respect..? And how do they not realize that if they're asked to repeat it [by] the regime, that it must mean the opposite is true..?
What was interesting was to hear VDH repeat that many of the faculty at universities realize their institutions have completely corrupted their telos. Which means they know they're self immolating now.
At first, democrats were just assuming that if POCs went to college that they'd suddenly be smart (whether they were or weren't) by merely attending. But instead of making people who traditionally wouldn't have gone to college smart ... they made colleges that graduated them dumber, and resulted in either mismatch and dropping out for the rest (see: Heather Mac Donald's work).
How glorious it'd be if there actually [were] tests given to grads irrespective which university you went to, in order to have some parity within the meaning of their diplomas and fake GPAs.
Personally, this is another VDH interview I will listen to more than once. Just outstanding.
Good interviewers pose great questions then let guests run... you know who will really riff if you let him? Gen Mike Flynn, I wonder if Rowe has or would interview him.
Unlike Hannity!
Absolutely true. And one of the worst offenders and 'interrupters' is our own beloved Sean Hannity. I love Sean but can't even listen to him much anymore because he continually talks over his guests. It's to the point of being ridiculous.
And Laura Ingraham
So proud of my hard-working, muscular, smart, rough carpenter husband. He's a great provider, honest and trustworthy. He has so much business (referral based only - no website), he's never short of work. Hoping that one day he can train our grandson in the Trade. Great guest and video. Thank you!!!
Where Iive in Florida two apprentice electricians can't even get approved to rent a two bedroom dump in the hood they are paid so little
I am a tradesman, this interview was the highest compliment Victor and Mike could ever give me.
I feel like a brain surgeon.
Thanks brothers..So goes Glory!
Im studying very hard to get a foot in the door in Information Technology with a long term goal in network security. I was a ranch hand from 14-19, then sustained back injuries in the army. Everyone is extremely important. Including you. I get emotional because i cant contribute to the world in the same tangible way you can. Yet i have my purpose, and i find comfort knowing that well intended men and women like yourself are working tirelessly to keep our world spinning.
@BailyXpres
...in the right direction. ⁹To keep the world spinning in the "right" direction; otherwise, we're losing our way. God help us. We needs more men like these two. NOTE: Sorry for your back injuries, and yet, your place is sure; no one can fill it but you because everyone is unique, and, yes, "extremely important." Thanks. 😊👍👍👍
@@BaliXpres Thank you!. Another high compliment. I am sure you feel it as you articulated it well but I am going to spell it out in plain english for anyone else reading this...
You are a human being. The definition of a human being is That which has Infinite Potential. All you require to attain any goal is Infinite Liberty and Freedom.
I wish you well in your goal.
@@BaliXpres If I may offer a bit of advice as I also suffer from a chronic back injury. Look into getting a device called a "Teeter Hang-Up" . Get the original, not an imitation. It has worked a miracle on my back, my wife's neck and many others I have recommended it to.
It is an inversion support device that induces traction on your spine.
In physiology there is a Law called "Wolf's Law. It states that Connective tissue is laid down along lines of stress. Out of proper native alignment and the body will begin repair out of alignment and reinforce the disease state. This has a negative impact on nerves, vessels, lymph, surrounding tissue and endocrine system. Chronic inflammation follows that can lead to decompensation in other nearby structures and systems and even to cancer risk.
Inducing proper alignment via traction allows your spine a rest. Opens up blood flow to areas compacted by gravity. It allows fluid to flow back into the spinal discs and rehydrate. This opens up the intervertebral foramen (holes) where the nerves pass through.
Via Wolf's Law...allows your body to repair itself in proper alignment.
Combine this with good nutrition, stretching Range of Motion exercises, breathing techniques and strength training and it is possible to fully heal and reverse a chronic injury.
I dont know your specific case so you should consult with your Dr about it.
One last thing. Though you can fully invert upside down, its not recommended to do that if you cant tolerate it...Rather, the best results are when you invert 5 degrees to 15 degrees or so. It can be set up with stop limits so there is no fear of getting stuck upside down etc. During inversion you would relax into it and do some deep breathing and subtle lateral movements to get the spine to straighten out.
I wish you the best recovery!
Tradesmen and women built this country and keep it working. 🙏🌷
Excellent calm. My family was one of the family’s that built Yale and the fall from meritocracy is appalling let alone the journey into arrogance - and led by fools who never could have built it…. Narrow minds … thank you for this podcast
Two of my most favorite people together. What a treat!!
Amazing conversation between two thoughtful and intelligent men.
Fake 😂
Who doesn't love VDH love listening to this man. Shout out from Sydney Australia ❤
Yes. Love John Anderson. He regularly interviews Dr. Hanson.
If I was on a desert island with both of you I’d have a tough time choosing. Thanks for a wonderful podcast.
No need to choose! Assert your God-given rights and have both if them there with you! You may figure out a way to get off the island-but wait!!….
Maybe you all won ‘t want to- keep learning, discussing
I had a feeling that this meeting of the minds was inevitable, and it finally came to fruition. I can not get enough of these two. When their notifications ping I'm listening.
An absolute must watch. Victor Davis Hanson tells it like it is.
Incredible interview. Thank you Mike for inviting the brilliant VDH on to your show. Two great minds!
Taking all this information and put it in in such a succinct way is amazing again and again thank you both❤
Best hour I’ve spent in 20 years! Of course I’m an 85 yo widow and life is not that exciting but Victor, you’ve been my hero since I first heard you - years ago! I push you on EVERYONE I talk to! Please accept my thanks for all your views! Haven’t disagreed yet! So glad you’re not shy! Love you! Susan
Sadly voices of life experience & sanity from baby boomer gen. are being taken over by next gen's ie Millenials & GenZ who are mostly atheists, narcississts & morallly corrupt with college degreea !! They are devoid of character building life exp. & life skills
Baby Boomers aquired & lived thru. egs. hardship then boom of post WW2/ Cold War/ Vietnam War, Civil Rights & 7Os Femiist movement etc. etc ALL character building & hisrorically defining.🤔
Thanks for sharing this episode widely. Just use the share button.
86 yrs here and also a VH groupie!
Is it the empress has no close! Bravo Victor David Hanson .Common sense
Human nature and education all come together ! I’m 90 years young Carry on , we depend on voices of reason!
2 wonderful, intelligent and down to earth men bring us the truths! My hopes & prayers - more folks wakeup and soon! Thank you to all the 🇺🇸AMERICAN🇺🇸 farmers and miners! Ya’ll rock!!💖😇👥⚖️🔔🔥😎💯👍🏼
Victor Hanson was a HUGE HUGE HUGE supporter of sending us Servicemen off to Iraq to be murdered and to murder innocent poor people, a very evil man ro say the least, other than that I don't know much about him nor do I care, he's a psychopathic warmongering lunitic. Could you imagine working your entire life and that's how folks remember you, I'm a 22 year active duty military Veteran and that's how we remember him...
It's nice to hear Americans talking sense for of a change.
Agree❤
Indeed.
Yes instead of just saying ugly things about Trump
@@NancyEdwards-uk4tmI think he’ll do a good job if we can vote him in!
Victor d Hanson speaks real shit he’s been around and still fights and says it like it is great interview Mike Rowe
God Bless you both… When Victor speaks… the World should listen. Thank you Mike and Chuck! Brilliant insights!
holy cow ... this popped up on my feed ..... Mike Rowe and VDH ..... Candy store !!!!
Victor Davis Hanson never disappoints. He is a great man. Mike Rowe thanks for a wonderful, folsom interview. You are great yourself.
I have three very smart grandkids who, even though offered scholarships, chose to learn welding and construction along with heavy-duty machines. They are happy and make good money with no student debt. I have another in 4 year University (their oldest brother) on a full 4 year scholarship. His younger brother's in the trades will make more than him in the end. It's kind of crazy, but they each chose their own path and are happy in their choices. I love Victor Hansen and listen to him when ever I can. This was a great video.
My Father had a welding and steel fabricating Business. He lived to be 84. RIP Herman Miller and Mother Reba passed away 9 months later. She was 82 yrs old
They would be making better money with the right 4 year degree. The data says your kid on the 4 year scholarship will make the most in his lifetime. Oh, and unlike the others he won't have a hazardous job that leaves him crippled by the time he is 60.
Here is another thought, if you don't like the direction this country is headed, you need to be sending your kids to good universities to build influential careers that change things. Welders and machine operators are not the ones calling the shots in this country.
Appreciate this interview listening as election tension rises October 20 2024. The perspective of Victor Davis Hanson is very much needed. I love the story of his 6 day re-roofing with the hispanic enthusiastic super organized and athletic team. That was absolutely exciting.
Love you guys! Common sense is so encouraging! I'm 72 and I can see Americans and the rest of the people of the earth waking up to their rights to choice! What an amazing time to be alive!
I went to Selma High and graduated in 1969. My family had a grape ranch, and we experienced what Victor talked about!
Thank you, Victor and Mike!
Common sense is not common any longer. People under 40 who have never picked up a shovel, changed a tire or skinned knuckles working have no understanding how close society is to crumbling.
VDH!! An American treasure of knowledge and wisdom
The holy trinity: VDH, Thomas Sowell, Charles Ktauthammer (RIP).
Just retired as a 30 year electrician, commercial, industrial, some residential. After a three year hitch as a Marine Infantryman, i then got into doing , Carpenter/ laborer work first for a few year's. Then tried the electrical field. Like any trade the first few year's is hard mentally and physically, but once you start learning... you start to get confident and it makes it all worth it. No one can ever take the experience away from you! You will always have work, especially these day's. The knowledge, hard work, and pride you gain, can only be experienced...if you live it! Not an easy road... but you're very proud to have done it.
My friend is an electrician and is having a tough time finding steady work. He is currently cleaning gutters...

Amen; Victor Hansen, join the council for advising our government!
BRAVO 👏👏👏!!!!! Wish we could share this talk in all high school classrooms. Much respect to all the hard-working Americans 👊‼️
Talk to people in Admin who might be open to supporting this. Covers farming, the trades, all types of extremely important segment of our country.
That is a great idea, or have a class that studies The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Federalists Papers, watch this interview and then require a well thought out paper. Yet, finding principled, thoughtful, and dedicated teachers could be difficult.
Michoacan Mexican Americans are workers. They know soil, rootstocks, and how to gently remove the fruit without ever compromising next year's harvest. For 20 years I have lived in a great diverse community in the Fruit belt, and have heard all the slurs against us. Thanks, Mr. Hanson and Mr. Rowe, for defending the productive fields that sustain our great, multi-ethnic nation.
These self appointed elitist should take some lessons from the hard working people in this world. I'm thankful for those who work hard so that I can enjoy a nice plump peach and other fruits/veggies. God warned us that these times would come. 2 Tim thy 3:2-4 Authorized (King James) Version
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
And that scripture is the perfect description of "mania/bipolar" - the first side effect of the so called SSRI antidepressants - the drugs ordered by the CIA to replace LSD, which had just been banned by Congress even though it was the CIA's drug of choice for their MK Ultra project. So they needed a new mind altering med for their MK Ultra re-run. And they got it supplied by the same Pharma company who had supplied them with the synthetic LSD for a good decade. They got a drug very similar to LSD, but even more like PCP, to produce a list of 17 effects they were looking for which Prozac (and now all of its dozen clones) produce perfectly. Among those effects which are all too obvious in today’s society are the extreme violence so classic of PCP's fame with the impulsive murder & suicide (even in our school shootings), parents killing their own children & children killing their parents, the suppression of natural affection designed to end strong family units by producing narcissistic personalities & "a change in gender" with transgenders with all types of sexual diversity no one has ever heard of before - a serotonin nightmare - all of which I have been warning of, writing about, documenting cases, testifying as an expert in those cases, & doing media interviews on for 3 decades now with Pharma doing everything they could think of to prevent anyone from hearing my warnings!🥲😢 It has been so sad to witness & horrifying for someone like me who has never been able to watch a horror movie in my life, yet now while documenting these cases I am forced to witness & detail the most horrific cases imaginable!
Even Court TV calling me a couple of decades ago because they were wanting to know more on an upcoming case they were covering & I was working on, but after hearing about only one or two cases asked me to please not share any more as they could not handle hearing any more. That was until they had to report the case live of this 12 year old boy they had initially called me about who blew his grandparents away in bed before burning down the home with them in it. Because in the middle of covering that case they had to report the news of a case of a 16 year old boy in NM who shot & killed his whole family on the same med & a 16 year old girl in ID who shot & killed her parents in bed on the same med in the same way as the 12 year old. All three cases involving the same med. In shock they gasped & asked live on the air, "Wow! What is it with teenagers & Zoloft?!"
So I answer your question with, YES! WE ARE QUITE LITERALLY LAB RATS IN AN OPEN PUBLIC STUDY WITNESSING THE HORRIFYING OUTCOME NOT ONLY DAILY ON OUR LOCAL NEWS REPORTS, BUT EVEN IN OUR OWN LIVES OR NEIGHBORHOODS!!!!
And Mr. Hanson I have a personal task for you in the case you shared in detail of your friend so clearly determined to die. For his sake & the sake of his family would you please do everything you can to find out which of these drugs they gave him to cause him to take his life? You gave us all the reasons he had for which they would have prescribed these deadly drugs for him but what you described is called "suicidal ideation", a listed side effect I helped to get listed on these drugs. To describe what that term means all you need to do is to replace the word "ideation" with the word "compulsion". They produce a determination to die & cause you to ruminate non-stop on any & every means to accomplish exactly that! I, therefore, have little doubt by what you described that his death was caused by suicidal ideation produced by these drugs no differe t than the 21 year old Washington state girl whose case came in last year as she used a chain saw to decapitste herself. Loved ones deserve answers & I pray for the day these companies are prosecuted for pre-meditated murder with these drugs! And I use the term premeditated because they knew full well the effects before bribing the approval of these drugs & putting the right people in place to get them into the hands of an unsuspecting public - people who publicly stated that if people knew what they had done they would chase them down the street to lynch them! I say it is way past time to fulfill their own prophesy when you see the carnage from just the first decade in this database even though it should include the case of the cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer as well as he too was drugged as a fetus while his body & brain were forming: SSRIstories.net

The Michoacan farmers are stellar at the Berkeley Farmers Market. They are great growers who have influenced the grape wine growers in the Napa region.
Hi Mike, I love your videos. I have to tell you I found this book called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets, where she talks about lies behind health industry, would really suggest to read it.

So glad you had this amazing man on your program. Victor Davis Hanson is brilliant and so right.
Super conversation, and hail from indigenous tribe from the central coast of California. My family are/were into agriculture and we raise all of our own stock, as we have done for hundreds of years, so I feel all of the emotional perspective of this guest. I have held this similar conversation with peers and strangers alike in the last year. The near future is so inflammatory that we found it very important relocate to a somewhat more rural area just because I see what's on the horizon. I am retired navy intel, so I know "things", and I still have family and friends serving on active duty, so I hope folks take precautions every day and be self and situationally aware at all times.
Thank you, America. For all you are and all you've done. We won't let you down. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I am grateful to ALL those with a public voice who speaks the truth. The truth of where we are in North America, and that we absolutely must turn this around. Now. I'm a God fearing, truth seeking prairie girl in Saskatchewan. I see this all here. My mom's friend works at a dollar store. People come in, load up their cart, do not pay and walk out. Nothing happens to these people. Our current culture is the twilight zone.
I have so much respect for manly men who can build things, and fix things and basically run our society. Without you guys we would have nothing, thank you.
God bless each of you guys who speak up and play a part in turning things around ❤
This was such an emotional episode for me. All of the men on my father’s side were working class, and all served in the military in one way or another. My father served two terms in Vietnam. His family was poor. He had no resources for college. He was drafted. It makes me feel so saddened that young, working class men have been so demonized they no longer want to serve. Though the reasons for a country entering war might vary from the justified to the nonsensical, the one uniting factor of these men is their willingness to die for their country. Although I miss him everyday, I’m relieved he did not live to see this. It brings tears to my eyes.
Better to die a hero then live to be a villain, just ask our govt they’re about to find out.
If I was American I wouldn't join to be honest lol. The last 10 wars were full of genocides. Not 1 country o earth has massacred as much innocent people as USA.
@@shanejones578 and @Nunya1986 I disagree - no one should be expected or forced to serve in an unjustifiable war and die for their country when the USA lies and is the aggressor. I applaud these young people for not believing the lies and justifications for unjust and unjustifiable wars.
Great discussion. I am glad to be 83 years old.
Never thought I’d be so glad to be getting old.
79 years old, college educated in Southern California, raised a family there, however now as a grandmother , watching the decline in morals, educational standards, family values, political sabotage taking place my solution has been to leave California, buy acres of woods,build a simple cabin, and just enjoy by family, friends, and rusticate..there is a melancholy peace and a sadness for our declining civilization.
