Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure. A dying breed. I feel deep humility listening to him speak effectively and effortlessly on a broad range of subjects. He would give an AI a run for its money.

Wow, wow, wow. I don’t know that I’ve ever used that word three times in a row, but I’m grateful to listen to a man who is articulate and logical. He never looked at a note yet spoke eloquently. Thank you. God bless.
he's one of a disappearing breed of true historians. hillsdale is the only college i will 100% fund any of my progeny to attend. if they want to go somewhere else, well... good luck, but don't expect my help.
We are so blessed to have you VDH, truly we are not worried of having someone like yourself for our politicians, but I’ll take every bit of your wisdom you have to offer anyway I can get it. We’re all better for it. God bless y’all!
*Hanson is one of my very favorite speakers. Even though I studied WWII (through the lens of the Atlantic conflict) for six years, I never fail to get new insights from this amazing scholar. His Trump analysis is **_spot-on_** as well - it's like there is nothing he can't deconstruct successfully!*
@Walt Kuznicke 🤣 you consider VDH "inept"🤣. And you have a big bag full of silly insults. Well done. Yeah, I don't think anyone serious, certainly not VDH, thinks that the modern GOP holds a candle to the party of Lincoln. But, hey, at least they weren't able to do to Trump what the DNC _did_ do to Bernie.
@measl I agree with you...Hanson speaks for me he's watched the fall of California as I have. He's a scholar on history. He is a conservative. Everything he says is what I have already concluded and I'm not a historian.
Walt Kuznicke omg are you ok? I think we all need to find out if we can stop or we will have to look at the bill gates study he did on Coronavirus in 2019 saying that we would not only yank our economy but the whole worlds. We need to actually get to work with no money we must simply die a slow crazy death. I mean we must be able to work and make work somehow those masks and scrubs gloves we cld take the money and set up a company. Anything the economy is now more of a source of panic than the virus.
@Walt Kuznicke Your statement is full of illogical holes. Horrible. I gather that you "an avid student" consider yourself a patriot but didn't fight on Normandy beaches. So why can't Trump be allowed to be a patriot? He paid to be President. Has met heavy burdens. So what really is your problem?
Hillsdale has a lot of great teachers, not as famous as VDH but some of the best in all of academia. My son graduated from Hillsdale, and my daughter is there now, one of the hardest things for them was trying to pick which professors to take! Love that school and their mission.
You want to know his secret to knowledge? Books, reading books and lots of them. Take your kids to the library, there is no excuse not to, it is free. (Books have to be read not just checked out and turn off the television.)
wow..wow...wow..victor davis hansen is amazing..finally we have a brilliant mind and shinning soul who can talk for the everyday people who work hard and have no voice .because they work all day and have no time and too tired to learn about the government that should have been taught in school
It is a Private College and accepts ZERO GOVERNMENT MONEY, as such to go there and attend normal college classes is EXPENSIVE. The charge for Semester Hour for classes I am sure one of the highest rates of any private college in the US. There are some scholarships and loans available to go there I am sure. As far as College Degree goes? I would think Hillsdale College on your diploma would make it worth 2 or 3 times the education of any other college in the US. It is HIGH QUALITY COLLEGE. Apparently like anything else, THE BEST COSTS MONEY. Just be forewarned for Sticker Shock of going there to College. But a GREAT COLLEGE.
Donald Trump has been so involved with his own employees. All restaurants he does business with. Don't throw their food in the trash not used. He fed his employee's with that food.. & chiefs cooking it for his employees, to order. He paid them fairly, no one went without advancements in business, & earnings depending on their work ethics, and not making mistakes, & providing the best experience for all customers, & staff. He had medical staff on board just incase needed at work, he made changes for those who's health required a lil change. Nothing crazy. He went around and addressed different employees within departments. And wanted to hear from them about anything that could be better for all involved. If you didn't work for him, or were a family member, you'd be clueless as to what sort of man he is. He is real, authentic, honest within the context of the topic. Never ever fake or affraid of a challenge. Loved them. Made his employees all love to conquer them. ONE OF A KIND.
What to restructure your business. According to losses being made, to hold on to the rest of what you've earned, is bad thing? Your Delusional To Even Suggest Such A Thing. You Let Go Of What You Must. And Restructure The Rest. & Hold On To As Much As Possible. It's The Smart Thing To Do. You Think He's The Only Business Man To Have To Go By Way Of Bankruptcy, To Save The Business, & Start Growing Again?
@@fritzbasset8645 You are a not familiar with running a multi billion dollars business are you? He took care of his employee's as well as any other business or better. The bankruptcy laws exist for a reason, he is still in business so I guess he used them wisely! Get a job and clean your room!
@@fritzbasset8645 No.... Sometimes, when you buy a business, the only way to salvage it (and keep the employees employed) is to restructure he debt through bankruptcy. The vast majority of folks who parrot this talking point don't even have a remote grasp of the various types of bankruptcy; or, the fact that they aren't gust "free passes;" especially in business. Also, they fail to understand just how bad the economy had become during the years in question. With so many jobs getting "out-sourced," many formerly viable businesses were "going under with the tide" (of globalization.)
Fritz Basset think about your Statement , when you get divorced you loose some toward your spouse and didn’t left her empty handed. There was also the real estate crash many lost their homes and business. 🤔 ask yourself would you’ve succeeded the way President Trump did?
What a marvelous talk, out of an amazing mind, a gentleman and a scholar , one of the few in our age. This man’s words are gold for the soul, a university for his listeners.
Exactly right and it's in kind of unfathomable to think that this was 4 years or so ago and they didn't have any young faces in the Democrat party until around 2019 and here comes the squad. They are the worst of the worst and part of what Obama bred when he was president and they were radical and half of them were foreigners. "People are mad because somebody did something to somebody" -Ilhan Omar. Oh oh people were not letting her get back with that this year. She doesn't know what 9/11 felt like to those of us who were probably high school age and older and I was 33 when that occurred. I was on my way to work when the first plane hit and the second plane hit about 10 minutes after I walked in the door. I got to work around 9:00 and lucky for me I had a TV in my office. I was able to do pleadings and interrogatories all day long and I just kept looking at the TV.. somebody had put them on TV on CNN earlier because somebody was in my office looking for something and I switched it to Fox. Lol it just became a thing because I have been watching Fox News since 96 when it came on and I used to love to watch Bill O'Reilly. I was 27 or 28 watching Bill O'Reilly and so people at the law firm were asking me when I was 31 the world I watched this old man. It's because he was right most of the time. It's just kind of sad to think now that what we do have a Democrat party or some radical socialist Communist and they're not Democrats at all. Nancy & Chucky are Democrat socialists.. these others we have in the Democrat party or anything but and they are radical. Chuck is concerned he's going to lose his senate seat to Alexandria Cortez but she doesn't have any political class and she's nothing but a big mouth with a microphone. It doesn't mean she can't beat him but it's just that she doesn't have the political prowess that people like Nancy pelosi or Chuck have because they've been doing this for so much longer and they have so much more experience and therefore intelligent.
@@davidsnedeker8098 Why do you think that? Obama was a horrible President that continued Bush's agenda instead of what he campaigned on. The squad are idiot's not a racist thing.
@@davidsnedeker8098 Obama isn't black. He is at the most less than half black. He just "uses" it. Just like knees Harris who actually isn't black AT ALL. And, I wanted Herman Cain as President. Now look at a picture of Obummer and Herman Cain, and tell me which one is ACTUALLY black. Playing the "race card" has been so over-done... it is now a compliment to be called a racist. Because the MOST racist people are the ones that play the "race card" all the time, that cry race all the time. Just the fact you played it, shows what you REALLY are. Not everything is about race moron. YOU are the one that makes it all about race, racist.
This fellow does not get emotional, he just explains it like things are. He reminds me of Fred Thompson, who we lost too soon. I'm now retired, but I've visited Hilsdale College in person. It's a campus you must see. I did not meet Larry, but I did meet the Student Union director. It's an amazing campus.
I didn't vote for Trump in '16, because I didn't believe I could trust him to follow through on his promises. I've never been happier to be proven wrong in my entire life. He has more than earned my vote in the next election, & I will consider it an honor to pull the lever for President Trump 2020!
victor davis hansen is a stable influence in this crazy world..he sticks to facts. tells the truth and is not afraid to stand his ground with words that the general masses who are not equiped or in a position to use.....thank you so much
In retrospect, his speech was so spot on in so many ways. All his insight and opinion was based on history and reflection. As I am watching this in June of 2022 his words are almost prophetic…the most interesting is that he did not necessarily foretell our current state, but rather told his listeners of past events and the effects of good vs failed policy and foreign and domestic leadership which in turn we currently see the exact same failures playing out.
VDH is one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. I listen to him often. Its absolutely amazing how he transcends. We need a rational and knowledgeable thought process and that is exactly what he delivers.
Hard to watch now almost five years later, knowing all that was ahead. Mr. Hanson still has a handle on our present and possible future. Always worth listening to anything he has to say.
Mother was a lawyer. Father was a college adminiatrator. Farming was a hobby. Not exactly a family of poor sod busters. Of course the former facts are not part of the narrative arc of poor farm boy makes good.
I like Hanson because he doesn't shove an agenda down your throat. He simply presents his arguments and lets you decide what to take away from it. A staunch liberal may very well reject most of what he says, but if you're willing to listen with an open mind you can learn something worthwhile. Refreshing to say the least.
peace2014-are u liberal? It's just about impossible to find a lib with an open mind (tho WE, of course, are the closed up ones!). If you are, thank you for thinking.
@F. Friedrich Kling Ummm... did you actually read that study? I ask because number one in the list of dependency, based on that methodology (which gives triple weight to tax-to-return ratio) is New Mexico; a dark blue state. Last on the list is fire truck red Kansas. So, there are two statements you made that are untruths. Also, the "experts" are predominantly assistant or associate professors. All are academics, with zero representation from any type of enterprise. None are nationally recognized experts. A review of their answers to the *two* questions each answered individually reveals words, like "equity," which are not words typically used by conservatives, so the "study" appears to be representative of only one end of the political spectrum. It is also unclear if those "experts" actually compiled or analyzed any information or if they simply added their subjective opinions on those two questions. Having read the report you quoted, I'm not at all convinced that the report is relevant. One could wonder if perhaps what you are trying to say is that conservative thought is hypocritical... and therefore corrupt... at its core. Or perhaps damning the people in flyover country because they are, proven by your study, resource-sucking hypocrites. The phrase, "Lies, damned lies and statistics," has a basis in real life. Triple weighting any factor indicates a need to change the weight of that factor in order to produce a conclusion not supported without multiplying the effect of one factor over another. Additionally, multiple unequivocal statements made by you, which are immediately and obviously demonstrably false, make your post fit the phrase very well. Overall, you have cited an article, not really a study, with comments added by obscure and not highly qualified "experts." One could presume the reason is confirmation bias. Have a nice day.
I agree with most of what he says but don’t regret campaigning in the rain in 72 for McGovern. He lost but Nixon lost soon after that and the war ended.
Fabulous. I’m going to sign up for Hillsdale College classes. I’m a retired college teacher, have BS. MS and EdD. Degrees. But so much more to learn. Love you 1:06:44 VDH. 😊
Si muchos cabaret y sabes que uno se los mandamientos. Es no cometerás Adulterio 😂Jajaja jajajajaja jajajaja MR Charlatán 😂Ja JA😂JAJAJAJA jajajajaja jajajaja jajaja 😹
considering the sledge we've had for presidentents the last 30 years.. its not really much of an accomplishment.. but.. thank god he ran.. imagine the alternatives.. clinton or any of the other republicans.. Thank You Mr President (signed a staunch liberal progressive who voted for you vs clinton (country first))
I commend the adminstrators of Hillsdale College for knowing how to conduct a lecture like this and for maintaining discipline. There are few campuses in America today where a conservative speaker can appear and favorably discuss a controversial figure like Trump without a bevy of privileged young socialists barging in and chanting juvenile slogans about "safety" or "white privilege." I suspect a liberal speaker on campus would be shown the same courtesy at Hillsdale. While at our "elite" universities, the administrators are in league with the agenda of their rowdy students to suppress free speech and any intellectual challenge to the neo-Marxist orthodoxy of the faculty. They actually encourage students to shout down or disrupt conservative speakers on campus. When did incivility become part of a liberal education? Hillsdale provides a glimpse of what Academia used to be, a place where students were taught how to think, not what to think, and controversial views -- rationally expressed and supported by facts -- were welcome. The educated response to bad ideas is better ideas.
There is a important difference between what most people see as pure socialism and what many countries have known as democratic socialism, democratic socialism is very similar to what we have here in the USA, we are seeking to extend our current social benefits to include universal healthcare and affordable higher education personally I do not see a downside to that.
@@brucepoole8552 one flaw in your assessment. They the far left will not stop at that. They will push to Socialist Marxist agenda they are not and will not be satisfied at democratic socialism. They want to bring our country down to it's knees so it can be controlled completely the individual will not exist anymore complete power is the goal .
@@jerrysullivan7223 your assessment seems to rely heavily on opinion, I don’t know exactly what group, organization, individuals you are speaking of but I know of none that espouse the extreme ideology you mention, I think Germany is a pretty good example of a social democracy
@@brucepoole8552 Well intentions usually fail to understand and consider a proven fact. Inefficiency and fraud run together with government-run business. Social Security and Medicare are but two of many examples. I say this from my personal experience of working as a Federal employee for over 30 years. Besides, the money needed to run or subsidize the programs mentioned (plus many others) come from taxpayers, including you. Do I need to say more? When this fact is considered, I bet most taxpayers are against it. Why should every taxpayer subsidize the welfare of others? Don’t we already pay too much?
"I love the chaos." "I don't think we have to take it anymore." "I don't have to apologize." Dr. Hanson gets it and articulates it in a way few others can do. It makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside.
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 chaos is good if it's not violent and it pursues change in a good way. No chaos keeps the status quo and sometimes the status quo is not good
Liberty heart Radio ,if you do like chaos in America now try find much chaos with new our leader in White House do you like America week and chaos in political Democrats idea
Trump 2020👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍..I like the way he talks, down to earth so the common working man understands so well. To bad it can't be as many years as the career politicians of Congress.
Really! Who cannot love this guy? I am serious. Victor Davis Hanson is not only a great writer, professor and speaker but the man...listen and know this man as much as you can and as I have, so will everybody else see that he is so humble, fair and sees the other persons view and forever lays his out so plainly and kindly...and he has that wonderful, perfect type of humor. I love this guy and wherever I find him I listen (or read) him.
Best speech ever, or presentation, excellent answers to the questions asked, I never thought I’d vote for Donald Trump for president, I do not regret my decision at all 🙂 I just stay diligent in my prayers that we have a fair legal election in 2020, if Donald Trump is not re-elected I fear for my grandchildren’s future
I supported Trump previously because I despise Hillary for the reasons given in this video...but by the time I completed this speech I am 10X more ready to support DJT.
Hanson is what they call 'erudite",his style is relaxing, informative and he sticks to the point. One correction , it was April Glaspie not Gillespie who gave Saddam the ok to invade Kuwait, she also said it was good for the oil producing US states!
@@minnowpd The big problem with Iraq invading Kuwait is the Iraqis plundered as much wealth from Kuwait as the possibly could. A couple of guys in Britain bought an Iraqi T-72 tank. When they got it to England they discovered it had a false fuel tank. Inside of it they found several gold bars which were apparently stolen from Kuwait.
I love how people are thinking how I’m thinking too! Thank you to all of you that voted for Trump! I want our country to be powerful and no more economic anxiety!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎🌎🍾🥂
@@Jamesgames62522 that's actually normal and is the reason why the economy strives above other countries. If I were you I would look more into it before saying that statement.
johan jimenez If Trump didn’t give tax cuts to the rich it would be lower than it is. 23 Trillion in debt isn’t a sign of an improving economy, neither is the stock market plunging like it did yesterday, Trump is so inept he fired the whole pandemic team in 2018 and then claimed today he didn’t know about it when he was the one who did it. Please be educated on a subject before u say something so blatantly stupid.
That was a wonderful ending. I've never heard a better description of what the election of DT was; the shout from the boy in the "Emperor's new cloths."
This mans mind is utterly stunning, amazing. And he presents his thoughts in a easy to hear, and understandable way. Wow, I agreed with 99% of what he said, and his views.
Did you notice the American flag behind him? Gold fringed American flags stand for admiralty law. What one faces in any court in America. Fewer 50 dollar words would have been preferred by me. Cool avatar Jay.
Let fools blow as hard as they like; watching them disembowel themselves with the effort costs nothing. Hopefully they end up at antifa rallies where god sends birds to feed on them.
Mr. Hanson thinks outside the box. He studies what a person says and observes what a person does. His conclusions are more on the whole not what outsiders say. He draws his conclusions by actions not gossip. In-other-words he has a mind of his own as well as a sense of humor. I like that he talks to us, his audience, sharing his points-of-view as if telling a story to a long time friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When it comes to video's regarding Trump news, notice the volume is more difficult to follow. Is it Google's You Tube? Certainly it is not my PC., which is newer when video's with everyday household subjects come through crystal clear. Besides current Trump good news videos, are getting more and more difficult to find. They don't come up easy as they had during the campaign days. Suggestion here: If they are harder to find or hear. Take the few extra clicks to bring them to the front & listen harder. Share these pieces of news with your friends as much as possible and ask them to do the same. To much negative promotion is jumping out at us first. We need to balance the scales. More of Trumps accomplishments need to be heard & less of gossip. We voted for the man. He should be left alone to get the job done with more of his positive goals for America moving forward. The end of his term if he slacks off on his own then vote for the next president. Meanwhile let the man do his thing. The Dems. are terrified he will get America going & thus be more respected by countries throughout the world. Do you dear reader think that perhaps too, they are in total fear of loosing their dark-sided gravy train? And too perhaps face jail time for picking our pockets so badly? They have had enough time to grow our country but only doubled our debt and left us to fend for ourselves with higher taxes, poor health programs, embarrassing school programs, potential war, high unemployment, no protection from criminal illegal immigrants, while facing skyrocketing inflation. Trump Sr. is trying to pickup the pieces of a once thriving America. We voted for this. The man is moving forward with obstacles. If we take the chains off we could see him fly. Focus on what you came here to do Mr. President you have the 'deplorables' of all backgrounds on your side. And Sir there is more of us and less of them. They just bark louder. Every 'deplorable' reading this should vote this November and give the man the support team he needs to accomplish more for the country. Our country! This could be our way of speaking softly but carrying a bigger stick. It's our turn to move forward and for the first time in decades we have the man with the guts to get the job going, now let's get the job done!
I just love Victor!! One can't help but admire how he can discuss political and social issues in an historical context. And, he sometimes has this John Malcovich thing happening. So cool! I just love it when I agree with obvious "intelectuals"... It makes me feel smart:)
I love this guy, VDH! He is so lucid, logical and instructive. I can learn from him the broader spectrum of history, which I appreciate. When he speaks of disengaging from the media, I'm with him; when the woman spoke up in Q & A, saying she has disengaged also, wow, I think there are a TON of us who have dismissed the media -- and it IS as VDH says, very healthy to hear from a broad range of sources -- to listen to each other, and not the prepared DNC inspired hash of major media and the Hollyweirds. God bless President Trump!!!
Wow. I bet this comment is SO embarrassing for you now. Trump turned out to be EXACTLY what most people said he was all along. Wipe the egg off your face, and move on.
VDH is one of my absolute favorites, he’s one of the few people I hang on to for their every word, for the sheer joy of understanding / analysis, and not for an exam 😆 Thank you Sir 💗#MAGA🇺🇸🦄
Are you kidding. He's telling everyone Trumps just using common sense ideas to look like a genius by comparison. We need a Republican landslide to allow him to keep more promises.
@@douglascunningham6319 I think you're right, I believe he's a Democrat who is trying to tell other Democrats what needs to be said in order to dupe the American people again, Trump is the only president I've seen who was honest, the first president in my life to say exactly what he planned on doing then actually doing what he said, Mr Hanson is telling Democrats what they need to be saying to put leftist globalist Democrats back into the White House and other positions of power so they can continue their dismantlement of the western world. Had Trump not won in 2016 our first and second amendments would have been taken before the end of this presidency, the Democrats had almost stacked the Supreme Court with leftists, they would have taken our rights with their twisted interpretations of the US Constitution. I could be wrong Mr Hanson could be a republican but rest assured even if he is the Democrats are taking notes and making a list of talking points. Trump 2020 Mike Pence 2024 and 2028
If you like VDH and want to get to know him better personally, there are a few books that will give you a real insight into him as a man. "The Land Was Everything" and "Fields Without Dreams" are very intimate accounts of his and his family's lives as farmers. Grim and painful. "Who Killed Homer?" has a lot of stories and reflections on his time as a teacher and classicist - and the battles he and John Heath fought. Great reads and very personal.
Well spoken and thoughtful historian. He can definitely change minds by listening to history and calm reasoning ... well, at least for those who still can think for themselves.
By people who can't think for themselves is that people who dont agree with your point of view? This guys good at pointing out the faults of the Democratic party but not so much the Republican party. We need more independent thinkers and preachers. If you choose a party you forfeit all your individual power. Enough of this.
I am so glad I listened to this. I knew I was right about Trump. Many people still see this man as a villain in 2022. I see him as someone who protected our country and wasn't taking no sh#$!
Mind…those who hate Trump, are just demented about him…for no other reason than belonging to the wrong party. I saw this clip of him on The View and those cackling hens were so appreciative of his presence till he told them he was a candidate of the Republican Party. Trump is not the one they are mad at…he was the symbol of our idiocy for choosing a person out of their circle (they like to have a candidate with political dirty laundry…that’s how they manipulate he/she into voting for something he wouldn’t normally vote for).
Dr. Hansen is so articulate and intelligent you begin to doubt yourself, what did I miss? I didn't see any basis for many of his observations, what did I miss? I need to hear more from this man, I love his calm presentation even when I doubt his premise, food for thought.
I've been a fan of his for years. If you are new to VDH youve got a lot to look forward to. There are lots of videos of him speaking on TV, he writes a great column for National Review, and you will from time to time see him appear in history documentaries. And thats not even touching on his books, which are great.
No! It's a trap! He wants to believe Trump has a Plan that just looks crazy to people who don't 'get it'.but it doesn't add up! Sure Trump might act deliberately unpredictable to unlock extra bargain power, but that's it! There is no super-smart deterrence agenda (he spent his first months telling his allies can't count on the US anymore) , and the GDP-wins-votes plan is a GOP concoction, if anything! I. E. : I like that it's really thought-provoking, but it is very skewed towards a GOP-wishful thinking mindset.
Everyone that is smart are not good or rightous Satan is smart and so are his people but the most high God knows us all you love to knock Obama he were a pawn in the game too find you and yours sin
So interesting to look back on this from 2022 - VDH is a marvellous raconteur who has the ability to articulate complicated political and social issues in a way we can all understand and assimilate that shines a light on the past, the present and the future! I wished he was more political because he would make a great President - just imagine!
Trump is a great salesman and a very talented manager. You, Victor are a member of a very select group of California that live in that valley between Yuba City, North and El Centro. South, that is the core of California, rich in production, innovation, business ethics and profit. California is unique because of it's length North to South and then West to East it has topography, including Mt, Whitney, Shasta from beach to some of the tallest mountains in the USA. Thank you for being the only member of academia who will speak out for America. I have an engineering degree from Cal Poly and the only Goldwater fans I found was my Business Law Prof, retired CIA and Accounting Prof who owned two liquor stores in San Luis Obispo. Your knowledge of history and your ability to express the important occurrences as it applies to our problems today is incredible. Trump is a great Toastmaster but you are better! Iguana
I would LOVE to see a conversation between Victor Davis Hanson and Jordan Peterson. They could discuss the dynamics of world politics. Victor with his knowledge of history and the dangers of no deterrence and Jordan breaking down the types of individuals who become dictators and their deadly world view.
Jordan Peterson blind out the world conflict before 1933 and 1939. US Americans blind out the historical fact that under the Wilson administration, the Government of the USA set up concentration-labor & deportation camp's, censored the media and created the CPI (Creel committee),4 Minute Men. The CPI is a "CheKa" type organization ad was even installed months before Lenin would install the "CheKa" which became the NKVD and then the KGB. - The Wilson administration would ban not only the German language but force German-America to americanize their names. The Wilson administration would also support US America wide book burnings of German-American literature. They would ban German music, German products, annex News Papers,Farms and Businesses and mark Germans who refused to go to war with YELLOW paint. At the same time the Germans would get the same beating and eve worse in Schlesien,Pomern and Danzig and so on. Now thats 1917 and that treatment of Germans kept on going long after the war of 1945. Thats 30 years of war against Germany for the simple reason of "Commerce,Money,Patents,Wealth and Supreme dominance over Europe" - So in this case Jordan Peterson leaves out all the issues which have led to 1933 (which was a liberation from Versailles Verdict), the German-American history, the German-West-Russian history and German central European history. How did Lenin come up? How could Wilson shut down the Constitution? What makes Stalin a dictator? - If Peterson only elaborates on Hilter, he will fail. But i doubt that Peterson does NOT know about the true historical events that have led to ww1 & 2. - Focusing on Hilter-Germany 1933-45 and playing down a 30 year world war on the last 4 years of Germany (there is nothing before 1939 for which you could condemn the Germans legally,really) wont really educate a mind on what a Dictator is. They blind out their own crimes...if they would of not treated the Germans like a bag of dirt, world war 2, which was a Allied-Communist war, would of not happened. Thats the truth.
But , please , have Dr Peterson only speak for 2 or 3 minutes the most at a time . He has this tendency to not only drag things out way too long , with labyrinths- like recapturing or re- phrasing of special , yet simple! topics , but to turn these into endless " mental masturbation " sessions . Sorry , but one can only suffer his elasto- plastic , ever- stretching , monologues for so long , before turning away completely . Smart professor , great and likable guy , but a more structured , staight- to - the - point , keywords- kind of lecture , might be truly more enjoyable .
Nope. He will be always our buffer to these outrageous democrats Party idiocy to keep us sustained and optimistic. Good prevail over evilness we feel around. around us.
An intelligent, extremely experienced patriotic American who is an eloquent spontaneous speaker who is easy to listen to. I respect him and agree that he is presidential material!
Mr Hanson has the pulse of U.S. politics correct. Now after Trump lost the election I am interested in hearing what Mr. Hanson's opinion is whether or not President Trump's lost was through fraud or more "never" Trumpers My belief is the former.

If you look at history well here in Ulster all politicians were "business men" think about it!!!! Who knew how to strive in all aspects of life, I watch career politician's who haven't a clue about people's real needs in life. That's why Trump won.
Arminda Comas He’s not saying Trump is perfect or even a good Republican. He’s saying Trump “ speaks to “ the downtrodden working class and the Democrats do not. I won’t say that Republicans are doing any good for the middle class, but the Democrats don’t have practical answers either. A government takeover of healthcare and a New Gree nDeal will not have good outcomes either.

I agree
*Hanson is one of my very favorite speakers. Even though I studied WWII (through the lens of the Atlantic conflict) for six years, I never fail to get new insights from this amazing scholar. His Trump analysis is **_spot-on_** as well - it's like there is nothing he can't deconstruct successfully!*
@Walt Kuznicke 🤣 you consider VDH "inept"🤣. And you have a big bag full of silly insults. Well done.
Yeah, I don't think anyone serious, certainly not VDH, thinks that the modern GOP holds a candle to the party of Lincoln. But, hey, at least they weren't able to do to Trump what the DNC _did_ do to Bernie.
@measl I agree with you...Hanson speaks for me he's watched the fall of California as I have. He's a scholar on history. He is a conservative. Everything he says is what I have already concluded and I'm not a historian.
Walt Kuznicke omg are you ok? I think we all need to find out if we can stop or we will have to look at the bill gates study he did on Coronavirus in 2019 saying that we would not only yank our economy but the whole worlds. We need to actually get to work with no money we must simply die a slow crazy death. I mean we must be able to work and make work somehow those masks and scrubs gloves we cld take the money and set up a company. Anything the economy is now more of a source of panic than the virus.
@Walt Kuznicke Your statement is full of illogical holes. Horrible. I gather that you "an avid student" consider yourself a patriot but didn't fight on Normandy beaches. So why can't Trump be allowed to be a patriot? He paid to be President. Has met heavy burdens. So what really is your problem?

You CAN go to college for free (online) and have him as your professor if he is still teaching. He is an amazing human.
Feel free to apply to Hillsdale College, the proud door-keepers of the GQP Twilight Zone of reasoning.
I learn through him on Hillsdale online.
It is a Private College and accepts ZERO GOVERNMENT MONEY, as such to go there and attend normal college classes is EXPENSIVE. The charge for Semester Hour for classes I am sure one of the highest rates of any private college in the US. There are some scholarships and loans available to go there I am sure. As far as College Degree goes? I would think Hillsdale College on your diploma would make it worth 2 or 3 times the education of any other college in the US. It is HIGH QUALITY COLLEGE. Apparently like anything else, THE BEST COSTS MONEY. Just be forewarned for Sticker Shock of going there to College. But a GREAT COLLEGE.
Donald Trump has been so involved with his own employees. All restaurants he does business with. Don't throw their food in the trash not used. He fed his employee's with that food.. & chiefs cooking it for his employees, to order. He paid them fairly, no one went without advancements in business, & earnings depending on their work ethics, and not making mistakes, & providing the best experience for all customers, & staff. He had medical staff on board just incase needed at work, he made changes for those who's health required a lil change. Nothing crazy. He went around and addressed different employees within departments. And wanted to hear from them about anything that could be better for all involved.
If you didn't work for him, or were a family member, you'd be clueless as to what sort of man he is.
He is real, authentic, honest within the context of the topic. Never ever fake or affraid of a challenge. Loved them. Made his employees all love to conquer them. ONE OF A KIND.
That's why he went bankrupt 6 times.
What to restructure your business. According to losses being made, to hold on to the rest of what you've earned, is bad thing?
Your Delusional To Even Suggest Such A Thing.
You Let Go Of What You Must. And Restructure The Rest. & Hold On To As Much As Possible.

Get a job and clean your room!
@@fritzbasset8645 No.... Sometimes, when you buy a business, the only way to salvage it (and keep the employees employed) is to restructure he debt through bankruptcy. The vast majority of folks who parrot this talking point don't even have a remote grasp of the various types of bankruptcy; or, the fact that they aren't gust "free passes;" especially in business. Also, they fail to understand just how bad the economy had become during the years in question. With so many jobs getting "out-sourced," many formerly viable businesses were "going under with the tide" (of globalization.)

Exactly right and it's in kind of unfathomable to think that this was 4 years or so ago and they didn't have any young faces in the Democrat party until around 2019 and here comes the squad. They are the worst of the worst and part of what Obama bred when he was president and they were radical and half of them were foreigners. "People are mad because somebody did something to somebody" -Ilhan Omar. Oh oh people were not letting her get back with that this year. She doesn't know what 9/11 felt like to those of us who were probably high school age and older and I was 33 when that occurred. I was on my way to work when the first plane hit and the second plane hit about 10 minutes after I walked in the door. I got to work around 9:00 and lucky for me I had a TV in my office. I was able to do pleadings and interrogatories all day long and I just kept looking at the TV.. somebody had put them on TV on CNN earlier because somebody was in my office looking for something and I switched it to Fox. Lol it just became a thing because I have been watching Fox News since 96 when it came on and I used to love to watch Bill O'Reilly. I was 27 or 28 watching Bill O'Reilly and so people at the law firm were asking me when I was 31 the world I watched this old man. It's because he was right most of the time. It's just kind of sad to think now that what we do have a Democrat party or some radical socialist Communist and they're not Democrats at all. Nancy & Chucky are Democrat socialists.. these others we have in the Democrat party or anything but and they are radical. Chuck is concerned he's going to lose his senate seat to Alexandria Cortez but she doesn't have any political class and she's nothing but a big mouth with a microphone. It doesn't mean she can't beat him but it's just that she doesn't have the political prowess that people like Nancy pelosi or Chuck have because they've been doing this for so much longer and they have so much more experience and therefore intelligent.

In retrospect, his speech was so spot on in so many ways. All his insight and opinion was based on history and reflection. As I am watching this in June of 2022 his words are almost prophetic…the most interesting is that he did not necessarily foretell our current state, but rather told his listeners of past events and the effects of good vs failed policy and foreign and domestic leadership which in turn we currently see the exact same failures playing out.

@@rhmendelsonI should imagine that was/is the intention with any of his talks. The books are indepth.
I like Hanson because he doesn't shove an agenda down your throat. He simply presents his arguments and lets you decide what to take away from it. A staunch liberal may very well reject most of what he says, but if you're willing to listen with an open mind you can learn something worthwhile. Refreshing to say the least.

I'm a Republican, is that what you're telling my son about me and his other friend's dads and mothers who are Republicans?
@F. Friedrich Kling Ummm... did you actually read that study? I ask because number one in the list of dependency, based on that methodology (which gives triple weight to tax-to-return ratio) is New Mexico; a dark blue state. Last on the list is fire truck red Kansas. So, there are two statements you made that are untruths. Also, the "experts" are predominantly assistant or associate professors. All are academics, with zero representation from any type of enterprise. None are nationally recognized experts. A review of their answers to the *two* questions each answered individually reveals words, like "equity," which are not words typically used by conservatives, so the "study" appears to be representative of only one end of the political spectrum. It is also unclear if those "experts" actually compiled or analyzed any information or if they simply added their subjective opinions on those two questions.
Having read the report you quoted, I'm not at all convinced that the report is relevant. One could wonder if perhaps what you are trying to say is that conservative thought is hypocritical... and therefore corrupt... at its core. Or perhaps damning the people in flyover country because they are, proven by your study, resource-sucking hypocrites.
The phrase, "Lies, damned lies and statistics," has a basis in real life. Triple weighting any factor indicates a need to change the weight of that factor in order to produce a conclusion not supported without multiplying the effect of one factor over another. Additionally, multiple unequivocal statements made by you, which are immediately and obviously demonstrably false, make your post fit the phrase very well.
Overall, you have cited an article, not really a study, with comments added by obscure and not highly qualified "experts." One could presume the reason is confirmation bias.
Have a nice day.
I did not vote in 2016. I will absolutely vote for President Trump in 2020! I hope there are many others who do the same.

I commend the adminstrators of Hillsdale College for knowing how to conduct a lecture like this and for maintaining discipline. There are few campuses in America today where a conservative speaker can appear and favorably discuss a controversial figure like Trump without a bevy of privileged young socialists barging in and chanting juvenile slogans about "safety" or "white privilege." I suspect a liberal speaker on campus would be shown the same courtesy at Hillsdale. While at our "elite" universities, the administrators are in league with the agenda of their rowdy students to suppress free speech and any intellectual challenge to the neo-Marxist orthodoxy of the faculty. They actually encourage students to shout down or disrupt conservative speakers on campus. When did incivility become part of a liberal education? Hillsdale provides a glimpse of what Academia used to be, a place where students were taught how to think, not what to think, and controversial views -- rationally expressed and supported by facts -- were welcome. The educated response to bad ideas is better ideas.
There is a important difference between what most people see as pure socialism and what many countries have known as democratic socialism, democratic socialism is very similar to what we have here in the USA, we are seeking to extend our current social benefits to include universal healthcare and affordable higher education personally I do not see a downside to that.

Well intentions usually fail to understand and consider a proven fact. Inefficiency and fraud run together with government-run business. Social Security and Medicare are but two of many examples. I say this from my personal experience of working as a Federal employee for over 30 years. Besides, the money needed to run or subsidize the programs mentioned (plus many others) come from taxpayers, including you. Do I need to say more? When this fact is considered, I bet most taxpayers are against it. Why should every taxpayer subsidize the welfare of others? Don’t we already pay too much?

johan jimenez If Trump didn’t give tax cuts to the rich it would be lower than it is. 23 Trillion in debt isn’t a sign of an improving economy, neither is the stock market plunging like it did yesterday, Trump is so inept he fired the whole pandemic team in 2018 and then claimed today he didn’t know about it when he was the one who did it. Please be educated on a subject before u say something so blatantly stupid.
@@Jamesgames62522 look more into before commenting.
That was a wonderful ending. I've never heard a better description of what the election of DT was; the shout from the boy in the "Emperor's new cloths."
This mans mind is utterly stunning, amazing. And he presents his thoughts in a easy to hear, and understandable way. Wow, I agreed with 99% of what he said, and his views.
Did you notice the American flag behind him? Gold fringed American flags stand for admiralty law. What one faces in any court in America. Fewer 50 dollar words would have been preferred by me. Cool avatar Jay.
That's because you're an idiot.
i feel the same way. i am in awe!
f.friedpie-you are an idiot.
Let fools blow as hard as they like; watching them disembowel themselves with the effort costs nothing. Hopefully they end up at antifa rallies where god sends birds to feed on them.
Mr. Hanson thinks outside the box. He studies what a person says and observes what a person does. His conclusions are more on the whole
not what outsiders say. He draws his conclusions by actions not gossip. In-other-words he has a mind of his own as well as a sense of humor.
I like that he talks to us, his audience, sharing his points-of-view as if telling a story to a long time friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it comes to video's regarding Trump news, notice the volume is more difficult to follow. Is it Google's You Tube? Certainly it is not my PC.,
which is newer when video's with everyday household subjects come through crystal clear. Besides current Trump good news videos, are getting
more and more difficult to find. They don't come up easy as they had during the campaign days.
Suggestion here: If they are harder to find or hear. Take the few extra clicks to bring them to the front & listen harder. Share these pieces of news
with your friends as much as possible and ask them to do the same. To much negative promotion is jumping out at us first. We need to balance
the scales. More of Trumps accomplishments need to be heard & less of gossip. We voted for the man. He should be left alone to get the job
done with more of his positive goals for America moving forward. The end of his term if he slacks off on his own then vote for the next president.
Meanwhile let the man do his thing. The Dems. are terrified he will get America going & thus be more respected by countries throughout the world.
Do you dear reader think that perhaps too, they are in total fear of loosing their dark-sided gravy train? And too perhaps face jail time for picking
our pockets so badly?
They have had enough time to grow our country but only doubled our debt and left us to fend for ourselves with higher taxes, poor health programs,
embarrassing school programs, potential war, high unemployment, no protection from criminal illegal immigrants, while facing skyrocketing inflation.
Trump Sr. is trying to pickup the pieces of a once thriving America. We voted for this. The man is moving forward with obstacles. If we take the
chains off we could see him fly. Focus on what you came here to do Mr. President you have the 'deplorables' of all backgrounds on your side.
And Sir there is more of us and less of them. They just bark louder.
Every 'deplorable' reading this should vote this November and give the man the support team he needs to accomplish more for the country.
Our country!
This could be our way of speaking softly but carrying a bigger stick. It's our turn to move forward and for the first time in decades we have the man
with the guts to get the job going, now let's get the job done!
I just love Victor!! One can't help but admire how he can discuss political and social issues in an historical context. And, he sometimes has this John Malcovich thing happening. So cool! I just love it when I agree with obvious "intelectuals"... It makes me feel smart:)
I love this guy, VDH! He is so lucid, logical and instructive. I can learn from him the broader spectrum of history, which I appreciate. When he speaks of disengaging from the media, I'm with him; when the woman spoke up in Q & A, saying she has disengaged also, wow, I think there are a TON of us who have dismissed the media -- and it IS as VDH says, very healthy to hear from a broad range of sources -- to listen to each other, and not the prepared DNC inspired hash of major media and the Hollyweirds. God bless President Trump!!!
He's a TREASURE!
Wow. I bet this comment is SO embarrassing for you now. Trump turned out to be EXACTLY what most people said he was all along.
Wipe the egg off your face, and move on.
VDH IS ONE OF THE BEST POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL ANALYSTS OF OUR TIME. GREAT TALK!
VDH is one of my absolute favorites, he’s one of the few people I hang on to for their every word, for the sheer joy of understanding / analysis, and not for an exam 😆 Thank you Sir 💗#MAGA🇺🇸🦄
Bravo Victor, We are so Blessed to have You to speak in Our behalf, Thank You..
...
This man is my new hero!!!
Are you kidding. He's telling everyone Trumps just using common sense ideas to look like a genius by comparison. We need a Republican landslide to allow him to keep more promises.
@@douglascunningham6319 I think you're right, I believe he's a Democrat who is trying to tell other Democrats what needs to be said in order to dupe the American people again, Trump is the only president I've seen who was honest, the first president in my life to say exactly what he planned on doing then actually doing what he said, Mr Hanson is telling Democrats what they need to be saying to put leftist globalist Democrats back into the White House and other positions of power so they can continue their dismantlement of the western world. Had Trump not won in 2016 our first and second amendments would have been taken before the end of this presidency, the Democrats had almost stacked the Supreme Court with leftists, they would have taken our rights with their twisted interpretations of the US Constitution.
I could be wrong Mr Hanson could be a republican but rest assured even if he is the Democrats are taking notes and making a list of talking points.
Trump 2020
Mike Pence 2024 and 2028
Me, too.
If you like VDH and want to get to know him better personally, there are a few books that will give you a real insight into him as a man.
"The Land Was Everything" and "Fields Without Dreams" are very intimate accounts of his and his family's lives as farmers. Grim and painful.
"Who Killed Homer?" has a lot of stories and reflections on his time as a teacher and classicist - and the battles he and John Heath fought.
Great reads and very personal.
scott downey kundiman
scott downey thanks. He is one Historian I can listen to.
Those are definitely on my list now. Thanks!
Well spoken and thoughtful historian. He can definitely change minds by listening to history and calm reasoning ... well, at least for those who still can think for themselves.
By people who can't think for themselves is that people who dont agree with your point of view? This guys good at pointing out the faults of the Democratic party but not so much the Republican party. We need more independent thinkers and preachers. If you choose a party you forfeit all your individual power. Enough of this.
VICTOR YOU ARE ABSOLUTLEY CORRECT, GOD BLESS YOU +
AMEN
Our country will never realize what treasure this man is! Thank you for sharing with us!
I am so glad I listened to this. I knew I was right about Trump. Many people still see this man as a villain in 2022. I see him as someone who protected our country and wasn't taking no sh#$!
lol
Mind…those who hate Trump, are just demented about him…for no other reason than belonging to the wrong party. I saw this clip of him on The View and those cackling hens were so appreciative of his presence till he told them he was a candidate of the Republican Party. Trump is not the one they are mad at…he was the symbol of our idiocy for choosing a person out of their circle (they like to have a candidate with political dirty laundry…that’s how they manipulate he/she into voting for something he wouldn’t normally vote for).
You realize almost everything he did was to enrich himself and the top like .5% right?
@@jayr.7209 Do you believe uncle joe has AMERICAN'S best interest ?
@@grayrecluse7496 Joe Biden is a demented elderly man in a suit.
Dr. Hansen is so articulate and intelligent you begin to doubt yourself, what did I miss? I didn't see any basis for many of his observations, what did I miss? I need to hear more from this man, I love his calm presentation even when I doubt his premise, food for thought.
Brilliant, accurate, & demonstrates the great value of clear & truthful critical thinking. Thankful you have shared!
This man is awesome! I sense this deep peace in him....and he is so smart
Sarah Manz I agree
Well said! He is a man we can trust.
I've been a fan of his for years. If you are new to VDH youve got a lot to look forward to. There are lots of videos of him speaking on TV, he writes a great column for National Review, and you will from time to time see him appear in history documentaries. And thats not even touching on his books, which are great.
No! It's a trap! He wants to believe Trump has a Plan that just looks crazy to people who don't 'get it'.but it doesn't add up! Sure Trump might act deliberately unpredictable to unlock extra bargain power, but that's it! There is no super-smart deterrence agenda (he spent his first months telling his allies can't count on the US anymore) , and the GDP-wins-votes plan is a GOP concoction, if anything!
I. E. : I like that it's really thought-provoking, but it is very skewed towards a GOP-wishful thinking mindset.
Joost van der Mandele Trump is a direct result of the democratic, PC, lideral, socilist party. Enjoy your mess.
I could listen to Victor Davis Hanson for hours.
I DO listen to him for hours!
Everyone that is smart are not good or rightous Satan is smart and so are his people but the most high God knows us all you love to knock Obama he were a pawn in the game too find you and yours sin

Same!
Trump, the con man, the mango mussollini
VHD has a podcast you're welcome to listen to his assessment of Trump today there.
@@brucepoole8552 how does it feel to be wrong . With the midterms coming many are wining
So interesting to look back on this from 2022 - VDH is a marvellous raconteur who has the ability to articulate complicated political and social issues in a way we can all understand and assimilate that shines a light on the past, the present and the future! I wished he was more political because he would make a great President - just imagine!
2 years ago we were living in the best economy this country has ever seen... nuff said...
Truly.
Most of the time he is so good I watch and listen for a second time. Hope he outlives me so I can continue to hear his take on this crazy World.
I could listen to Victor all day!
Trump is a great salesman and a very talented manager. You, Victor are a member of a very select group of California that live in that valley between Yuba City, North and El Centro. South, that is the core of California, rich in production, innovation, business ethics and profit. California is unique because of it's length North to South and then West to East it has topography, including Mt, Whitney, Shasta from beach to some of the tallest mountains in the USA. Thank you for being the only member of academia who will speak out for America. I have an engineering degree from Cal Poly and the only Goldwater fans I found was my Business Law Prof, retired CIA and Accounting Prof who owned two liquor stores in San Luis Obispo.
Your knowledge of history and your ability to express the important occurrences as it applies to our problems today is incredible. Trump is a great Toastmaster but you are better!

I would LOVE to see a conversation between Victor Davis Hanson and Jordan Peterson. They could discuss the dynamics of world politics. Victor with his knowledge of history and the dangers of no deterrence and Jordan breaking down the types of individuals who become dictators and their deadly world view.
That would be super amazing. Id be there for it.
I'd love to see that also!
Jordan Peterson blind out the world conflict before 1933 and 1939. US Americans blind out the historical fact that under the Wilson administration, the Government of the USA set up concentration-labor & deportation camp's, censored the media and created the CPI (Creel committee),4 Minute Men. The CPI is a "CheKa" type organization ad was even installed months before Lenin would install the "CheKa" which became the NKVD and then the KGB.
-
The Wilson administration would ban not only the German language but force German-America to americanize their names. The Wilson administration would also support US America wide book burnings of German-American literature. They would ban German music, German products, annex News Papers,Farms and Businesses and mark Germans who refused to go to war with YELLOW paint.
At the same time the Germans would get the same beating and eve worse in Schlesien,Pomern and Danzig and so on.
Now thats 1917 and that treatment of Germans kept on going long after the war of 1945. Thats 30 years of war against Germany for the simple reason of "Commerce,Money,Patents,Wealth and Supreme dominance over Europe"
-
So in this case Jordan Peterson leaves out all the issues which have led to 1933 (which was a liberation from Versailles Verdict), the German-American history, the German-West-Russian history and German central European history. How did Lenin come up? How could Wilson shut down the Constitution? What makes Stalin a dictator?
-
If Peterson only elaborates on Hilter, he will fail. But i doubt that Peterson does NOT know about the true historical events that have led to ww1 & 2.
-
Focusing on Hilter-Germany 1933-45 and playing down a 30 year world war on the last 4 years of Germany (there is nothing before 1939 for which you could condemn the Germans legally,really) wont really educate a mind on what a Dictator is.
They blind out their own crimes...if they would of not treated the Germans like a bag of dirt, world war 2, which was a Allied-Communist war, would of not happened. Thats the truth.
I would love to see that as well ❤️🤠
But , please , have Dr Peterson only speak for 2 or 3 minutes the most at a time .
He has this tendency to not only drag things out way too long , with labyrinths- like recapturing or re- phrasing of special , yet simple! topics , but to turn these into endless " mental masturbation " sessions .
Sorry , but one can only suffer his elasto- plastic , ever- stretching , monologues for so long , before turning away completely .
Smart professor , great and likable guy , but a more structured , staight- to - the - point , keywords- kind of lecture , might be truly more enjoyable .
It’s a shame that such a smart , rational man as VDH cannot be our President…
Nope. He will be always our buffer to these outrageous democrats Party idiocy to keep us sustained and optimistic. Good prevail over evilness we feel around. around us.
An intelligent, extremely experienced patriotic American who is an eloquent spontaneous speaker who is easy to
listen to. I respect him and agree that he is presidential material!
No.
Love this talk! Common sense, so uncommon in DC!

Mr Hanson has the pulse of U.S. politics correct. Now after Trump lost the election I am interested in hearing what Mr. Hanson's opinion is whether or not President Trump's lost was through fraud or more "never" Trumpers My belief is the former.
@@walt1824 He has not lost yet the race is not over. The states have not called it the media and people like you believe what you hear on CNN and so many so called conservatives who don't know where to look for info

If we are God's people then he will punish this generation for our back sliding and self worship. No, I don't think that justice will be exercised for this generation, we must first suffer, just as Israel did each time they began to doubt themselves and their God.

we are going to expand natural gas and coal.
we are going to increase manufacturing.
Is it that hard to see which message is most welcomed?
This Professor is brilliant..
I don't see the logic in the Dems stratagem since 2013.
The Dems have too many masters, often with diametrically opposing interests.
That’s is the reason 6 mayors in MN support Trump. In an interview one mayor said her town was dead under Obama...now people come back since there are jobs...
Nope. The one that is outdated and will destroy the planet is the obvious, right wing nut-job answer.
My beloved brothers and sisters, besides the resources? That the world is addicted to? But who in the neighborhood? Will truly recognize God's will and COMMANDMENTS upon all dry GROUNDS? Reasons, there are individuals, world view. Certain race is above all races? Sheeps clothing they wear? But wolves, their world view is above all men. Jesus christ became known for a reason? Jesus christ chose the weak to shame the wise of this world. Commanded to look at you as kings and priests who are worth respecting, honoring, loving, and giving my life for a friend kind of love. Lions and a lamb by choice. Say his name I'm with you. Reason, God's feet is your feet? The world nor all dry GROUNDS is God's footstool indeed. @LLOVE @LLONE
Mr. Hanson is such a Gem within our Society and he has his thumb on the pulse of The American People and if we listen to what he says then we know the way to go for >>>>MAGA
Trumpism is a Wonderful thing! Trump is the Man!
I've literally watched this video 15 times and I get one more thing from it everytime I watch:) VDH is a treasure:)
Same here and to retain it all is just about impossible.
What Hillary didn't tell you: She thought half her voter were deplorables too. She just didn't say it.
Her calling people deplorable is or was her way of justifying it to herself when she knew she wouldn't do anything to help them. It's a defense mechanism.
@Anonymike Of course she said it, and much, much more. You just didn't "hear" it, but I would bet everything I own that she cursed every last one of us, probably many times over. She has a heart black as coal.
she sure showed it tho.. look what the clintons did to their friends.. (caution extreme grapic images) you can find most of clintons old friends on bestgore..

Arminda Comas He’s not saying Trump is perfect or even a good Republican. He’s saying Trump “ speaks to “ the downtrodden working class and the Democrats do not. I won’t say that
Republicans are doing any good for the middle class, but the Democrats don’t have practical answers either. A government takeover of healthcare and a New Gree nDeal will not have good outcomes either.
