That was interesting and certainly more pragmatic than the nonsense I just heard on the Hoover Institution podcast. One point I would mention is, the estimates of illegal immigrants in the US, float between 10 and 20 million and at an estimated cost to repatriate these individuals to their respective countries at a minimum of $15k. The price of of this wholesale mischief is conservatively in the hundreds of billions of dollars. I, for one, am hoping that the lack of governmental competence will sink most of Trump's plans. I believe we absolutely need a new era of effective & professional leadership in this country. I would argue that Trump is not that.
Hoover podcasts are so based when it comes down to politics. You have people like Hanson there, that just become their own charicatures, when they talk politics. Hanson should stick to talking about classical history.
Trump tells a lot of fairie tales. It is kind of silly to do an elaborate analysis for the procurement of the fairies needed for his impossible projects.
Institutions have biases like people. I try to listen/read to multiple institutions to form my opinions. There are more people at Hoover than Hanson. I think 9 Nobel prize winners in eco is so far. Kotkin and Ferguson in history there are pretty stellar.
I think that Canada should increase its defence budget NOW to 2% of GDP to show the Americans that we are serious about no longer hiding under the American umbrella of protection. RS. Canada
Empire is expensive. America pays for the subservience of its allies (like Europe). Europe gives up the burden of providing for its own security but at the cost of independence. But if NATO is a serious alliance, then Europe needs to start paying. If it doesn't, cut them off--no more American security guarantees. If that means Europe becomes independent from America so be it. We have enough expenses here at home and Europe is wealthy enough to come up with its own security arrangements if it really wants to.
The way this "interview" started, it's pretty clear there are a lot of bruised people speaking here and all their analysis has a negative slant .... perhaps your interviewees just don't understand what has just happened (or what will happen) any more than they realized what has happened over the past few years? Wake up! A majority of "adults" voted for our next president. Hope you balance your future "interviews" a bit more realistically. But I guess what you really believe is that you are the only "adults in the room"?
As far as i understood, they only meant that there will be more ”Trump-loyalists”, rather than more pragmatic people like McMaster. Never did they say that people who voted for Trump are not ”adults”. I think you took this a little bit too personally. It’s a decent interview, not ”interview”, however you may think of it. But it’s also simply two people expressing their views. They do not speak the ”objective truth”, arguably nobody can.
The chaos that surrounds Trump is very entertaining for an outsider like me to witness. I look forward to watching the unfolding story in the coming 4 years+
The reason i chose mr Trump because no one can read his move and he is unbiased which is important in the world bullied by gang warfare. But the side of laws , order and civilization standard is top priority

He's got decent knowledge of farming techniques in 5th century BC Attica. That's his forte!

RS. Canada
More elitists, totally disconnected from the average man, who will never get it and believe they need to do our thinking for us.
Excellent content and narrative
Very interesting and informative. Thank you

No more invoking Nato to drag Europe into a 20 year long losing conflict either
As always, this program made relentless sense. 😂
Surely the Iranians would more speedily pursue nuclear development if they felt their strategic depth had become insufficient?
