@@tompain2751 What was correct his fear of immigrants who arrive on a schedule? What did people do before the cops had computer tracking and photo ID? How many of the 9/11 hijackers didn't have photo ID? Any reason to believe photo ID stops any real crime?
@@kimobrien. Photo ID, would sure make elections more secure, and so would in person voting. Illegal immigrants are a problem. Your mischaracterizations, of what he said, are pathetic.
I was glad to see he had notes in front of him. At first I thought he was going off the top of his head. I was feeling very inferior. Lol which is probably true anyway.
TV hosts do all the gabbing. The “interviews” are all about themselves and the “person of interest” is supposed to just “enjoy the same space with him/her.”
You’ll notice that when Mr. Hanson gives his lectures that not only is he very knowledgeable and seems like he could be someone that lives next door. But in such a laid back tone, he speaks to the audience the same way he would if you were sitting down with him somewhere one on one , having a cup of coffee… like he is here. This is why I’ve always enjoyed hearing his lectures.
I hated teenagers when I was one. Finding good company among my peers was a difficult endeavour and I, this is the 70s mind you, tended toward the company of adults.
That tells you the mind formation of those kids, like the interviewer, when they go to Hillsdale Colleqe. One of the few good institutions that remain in our country. Hope that they can continue for many more years.
This man was born for such a time as this; he's someone who understands the theoretical and the practical, and can communicate with both intellectuals and the common man. He has (to quote Joni Mitchell) looked at life from both sides now, and probably has enjoyed how hands-on labor and intellectual enlightenment have played off each other throughout the years; e.g., he's probably enjoyed all the breaks from academia, by getting on his tractor, breathing in the fresh air, and taking in the good earth. In a world that too often looks down on the working class as being beneath them or unsophisticated, VDH has emerged to show (in my mind) a superior synthesis of the ideal and the real. He is a TRUE genius for our time! Beautiful presentation Hillsdale, with a very timely and vital set of messages. Bravo!
There's something quite therapeutic about operating a tractor. I used to think it was just the amount of power underneath you that you were controlling. Over time I realized it was the focus on the tractor that would cause the worries of the day to slip from my mind. I never thought about how much braces for the twins were going to cost me when I was on the tractor. I never tried to remember what the last date for making an estimated tax payment, before being penalized was, when I was on the tractor. I never worried about whether or not my loan application would be approved at the bank, when I was on the tractor. I didn't even think about how I preferred great taste over less filling. To be honest, I just focused on the tractor. It was really quite peaceful, because if I had lost that focus there are at least five different ways that that tractor could have killed me.

1/7/22; Thank you Hillsdale for making this informal 'coffee' talk at student union Cafe with VDH. Easy to listen & learn by comparisons of many political, economic & social issues as Dr.Hanson speaks about his career experiences. His new/latest book The Dying Citizen is being discussed via 1-on-1 interviews all over YT in more formal settings..but your presentation in this video was very enjoyable! Young student with VDH at Cafe Coffee table was just great!👍👍👍😊☕
100% correctly stated. Losing family/ togetherness holidays . Electronic rule . back, 88 yrs of my own life, our conduct was pretty much lived as VHD explained. Charity was a no no. Work ethics were taught early in life. You can become anything yout want , if YOU work. I'm happy l was born / raised during that Era.
Lucky you, Nick. I would love to meet my favorite professor. Too many people need entertainment to keep them interested. Dr. Hanson doesn’t go through histrionics, his voice doesn’t go up and down for dramatic effect, no dramatic pauses. Whether it’s Classical history, modern history and war, or current politics, he holds me in rapt attention every time.
An old school traditional man who worked hard on the farm and was a college professor. He articuled everything here, he knows the futures going in a dangerous projection, America's falling and its sad.
If you think of what was said, we have bred a generation of graduates who are fed convenience and cannot fix or control anything that is not handed to them, therefore they can be easily controlled in future
Also I want to say thank you Victor Davis Hanson! Finally someone gets it! I’ve been saying for a long time now that I hate this BLM crap but at the same time I hate where this country is economically. things are so unbalanced, meaning…we need more of a middle class. The fact that mr. Hanson (who is someone with credibility) is able to articulate that, gives me great pleasure because finally someone like him is saying what I’ve been trying to say now for almost three years!

@@peterharris4386 who are you that I need to answer to you? I'm not here playing questions and answers with someone who doesn't understand anything out of his comfort zone. Why don't you act like an adult and answer my question. If you don't agree with what Dr. Hanson had to say then feel free to speak your mind. Does that make sense to you?
Dr Hanson is a complete thinker like Jordan Petersen and his ability in conveying his thoughts are considered and clear. The western world needs these people to educate our young and undo the damage that’s been done by those who want a globalists agenda.
This style of interview is very interesting. Its shot like a scene in a 90s sitcom as a conversation between two written characters except it's non fiction
As we coast onward to an inevitable train wreck, it is comforting to see a youth appreciating one of grand experience and resolve. This should be "Must see, T.V."
Nick, you did a great job with this interview. You asked a few intetesting questions then sat back and let VDH share his brilliance with us. Thank you.
Dr. Hanson is a universal treasure. I am a chilean that lives in Chile and I always listen to him. His believes, experience and culture applies to many people around the world like me. God bless him.
VDH hit nail on the head. We need people who can fix an work on things. I myself have trained myself to build an fix anything. I grow a garden. I work on my trucks an tractors. I can build a house from ground up. We need folks like that. Can do attitude.
Along those lines, as we progress in technology, less people are trained or skilled enough to maintain the products we buy. The right to repair must be protected. I believe John Deere is being sue perhaps by successfully. I am worried about programs which are essential to gain functionality of the product which requires a monthly fee to keep it moving. I am as you are and trained myself to maintain the products I own but my career was vastly different. I feel we are rare and I also feel industry does want us to be this way. Sorry to drift off topic.
This is one of the most intellectually and smoothly worded "fear of the loss of American white supremacy." The dying old man passes down his fear and hope to the next generation boy. The perpetuation of white extinction is scary and promotes the us vs. them narrative, but man if this interview isn't impressively executed.
I always stop to listen to any of the podcasts and/or videos in which Victor Davis Hanson is participating, conducting or interacting in any way. From conversations to speeches to interviews, he never fails to impress me with his knowledge of history, countries, peoples, events, or comments that enrich, engross, enlighten, compell, all of the above! He stimulates ideas, compelling you to listen and to think! I admire his life and contributions to education, rational thought, provocative and evocative discovery whether through his books, lectures, conversations, always exuding humility and grace! I wish someone would name him Man of the Year!! It may be 2022!!! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your work, thoughts and life experiences, always profoundly interesting! God bless you and your family!🌍🌎🌏👏❤💓💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not that he is not sometimes interresint, but would you maybe explain to me what his apperent proposition that womans voting rights/citicenship (suffragettes) would be up to debate (a state issue) would mean to you?
This man is worth his weight in gold. I'm proud to say he lives literally down the street from me in Central California although I've never had the pleasure to meet him. Perhaps one day.....
God, this national treasure of knowledge and history needs to somehow be spared the rigors of time. We can’t afford to lose someone with this ability to explain things for how they really are. God Bless Victor Davis Hanson!!
Always encouraged to see a member of a younger generation gleaning wisdom from a fellow that's been around the block a few times,... then sharing. Goodwork!
Hey Victor Davis Hanson, My Uncle farmed 25-40 acres of Almonds for the last 40 years and taught Ag Classes at MJC for the same period. He is one of the most honest and hard working men with a passion for both teaching and farming and reminds me of you. Thank you for your opinions and common sense!
Mr. Hanson is a remarkable man for many reasons. He is so richly informed on all important issues, his being a historian shows very clearly why all of us, especially politicians should be always life long history students. He is clearly understandable and I listen to him anywhere I may see him on my pc. I have some writings of his and they are as he...so easy to grasp what he says. If I was much younger and very well off I'd like to see that FOX or some TV/Internet had him on with at least MWF evenings on current things that need to be addressed, and so much more. This man should be running for office or in a very important position of influence in the WH or Congress. By the way, where is the other fine, solid, sensible Republicans or sound Democrats...I have not seen nor heard anything from the several we still have in U.S. that are men/women who we need to have out in public, battling this WH and etc, that is doing awful things to America.
VDH is the wisest man in the world. I've listened to him speak for hundreds of hours, never heard him have a conversation with a young person. Very interesting.
Mr. Hanson is wrong on the issue of civic nationalism versus ethnic nationalism. America would have never become a great nation if it were multicultural. It is one reason for the conflict and decline. Think, people, if you still are able. Didn't he say that no country in the world has ever done it successfully? He was implying that the US has done it successfully, but it has not.
@@tompain2751 The disunity statistics are in the book. There was a colored guy in Wisconsin who was using his vehicle to chase white people in a parade and run over them. That is just the surface of the racial conflict. The Communists are using the conflict to divide and conquer. It is a mess that will be very difficult to remedy. The guy said it was an experiment. It is now time to give the results of the experiment.
Dr. Hanson reminds me of many of my teachers as a kid growing up here in Imperial County who also farmed or ran cattle. They had to be businessmen, weathermen, mechanics, laborers, bilingual, electricians, vets, etc., etc. No wonder we learned so much.
Dr Hanson never disappoints! His perspectives and deliveries are always so insightful and using his wealth of knowledge and ability to instantly clarify his points using practical examples, makes him both a teacher's teacher as well as a pupils teacher who can appeal to basically anyone at any level of education. Bravo Dr, Professor, Historian, and Friend 🇺🇸
Wow, I am Victor Davis Hanson’s forever student. There is no statement that he utters where he’s teaching a lesson in every walk of life. I hope Nick & every 20 yo that watch this interview will take to heart what VDH said the basic tenets that young ones should master: Respect, first of all and be productive and contributing to society. Try to be self sufficient at a young age and don’t be a liability to your family or to society. We all have to be grateful for what we have and let’s all try to do better without being greedy or obsessive of wealth and look out for each other’s welfare. I can go on and on about what an excellent educator VDH is in how he lives his life and I am so grateful he’s chosen the path he’s taking! Such a brilliant human being, truly somebody to emulate!
Me too I believe Victor Davis Hanson is a treasure sure but I am not sure with this US citizen rushing headlong into volcanism yeah you're welcome that even he at even heat will be able to survive to survive the demolition.
Very good talk. You asked him for positive thoughts. But what he gave you was the power of neutral thinking. We the people need this power to get us out of this woke movement. Check our emotions and think neutrality.
I was blessed to have excellent teachers : Ms. Romer, Mr. Davis at Miami Dade Community College 20 years ago! They reinforce my determination to do the best- I discovered my potentials through their teaching. Thank you
If I could I would sit and listen to him for days without a break. I would love to attend a lecture with him and Thomas Sowell speaking just about anything.
Well when I was 16 years old, I got my driver's license. I already knew how to drive because my Uncle Felix taught me how by driving a tractor during hay season and other things along the way. My first car was a 1971 Chevy Pickup V-8 and standard transmission, I drove it and it was time to do a tune-up and I was going to take it to where I bought it. My uncle said you will do no such thing and gave me a list of tools to buy- sears craftsmen are good. And then to Mark's auto parts for well the parts, I would need. They are still in business and I still buy stuff from them. My uncle talked me thru the whole process. It took about two hours. After that, I could do the job myself with no issue. That was then my current car you need a scan tool and not just a code reader you need specialized tools and about 6 hours to do the plugs. The old chevy would need to tune every 20 thousand miles or so, the car I have now well I had the work done last winter and by the time I will need to do it again in 100K I will have junked the car. Yeah, the world war two guys could work on the Shermans the Studebaker's, and the jeeps because they were pretty much the same as what they wrenched on as kids. In some ways, we lost that, but we are Americans and it's not like we never reinvented ourselves. I can do a lot of things on a car even today. I am thankful for the time my Uncle Felix took to show me how to do things and then watch over me doing those things. The nod of approval was the best thing because it was earned. Too many of our young people don't have that, and it's a shame. There is no room for failure these days and if you do you're done. That was not always so. I am teaching myself Russian, I learn more from the mistakes than I do when I get things correct.
“There is a freedom of expression. That’s very rare.” This brought to mind a conversation I had around 2001 or 2002. I was knocking on doors to passing out campaign literature. The man answering the door was obviously of middle eastern heritage and from his speech I guessed he was a recent immigrant. He was visibly frightened and distraught when I asked him if he had chosen who he intended to vote for. I assured him that the choice was his to make without fear, gave him some literature and wished him well. Today he would have more grounds for his apprehension.
Another factor of a great nation posture is exporting its culture, language & trade relations without relying on force, . Today English is the most spoken second language in the world and its not because of occupation or colonisation but it's because of great innovations in communication devices & methods and based on what I used, saw & learned about this culture while living up since my birth in 7 different countries miles away in both Mid East & Europe. In all of which I found people speaking English. Great listen
Good relaxed and personable format. Love these long form opps to hear VDH speak in detail & context as opposed to msm soundbites even though he can drop more truth bombs in those segments than anyone I’ve seen.
Riveting conversation. Learned more in the past 20 minutes than I did in any college course. Gives me a bit of hope for the future our country which keeps slipping away. Thank you for posting. The internet is a awful in many respects but videos like this are the exception to the rule. Let's hope for the resurrection of the dying citizen.
You can not fix a flat tire with a flat tire! Transfer of hate is not fixing what we can not control our color. We are humans that's what we are all fighting for the same thing. Peace, equality, and freedom.
@@johnmeckel2319 Equity is calculated, targeted discrimination with the goal of "evening out" everyone's achievement, but the inevitable result is limiting everyone to no better than the lowest achievers. A prime example is the "dumbing down" of education: Don't allow the motivated and brighter students to learn more faster and excel, because that will result in unequal school achievement, so lower the expectations so that even the most disinterested, laziest, and least bright students can enjoy the illusion of achieving just as much as everyone else. Never mind that they've learned practically nothing, as long as there is "equity."
Ethno-cultural nationhood as political or social preference does not necessarily have to imply 'hate' as a principle of existence. Multicultural lands or nations are often the most strife-ridden. Forcing it on nations that do not wish it and never sanctioned it politically is obviously going to cause endless trouble and division.
@@Lytton333 Very true. I think that's a large part of the reason for the intensifying anger in society. The Marxists and those wanting to, er, "blend and homogenize" the nations and cultures of the world would have the effect of not allowing any nation or society to keep their own distinct culture and values, their own distinct identity. I can't blame any nation or society for fighting back against that tooth and nail, hammer and tongs.

And he has calluses on his hands and dirt under his fingernails which adds more IQ points for him, in my opinion.
Intellectual, real? Examples?
@@peterharris4386 did you listen to anything he said?
@@ripmurdock232 Yes... but can you answer my question?
@@peterharris4386 who are you that I need to answer to you? I'm not here playing questions and answers with someone who doesn't understand anything out of his comfort zone.
Why don't you act like an adult and answer my question. If you don't agree with what Dr. Hanson had to say then feel free to speak your mind. Does that make sense to you?
We need VICTOR DAVIS HANSON to teach courses in all of our schools !!!
Thank you both, I enjoyed this discussion between you two, very relaxed and yet profound

Victors tone and demeanor are just so engaging.
Dr Hanson is a complete thinker like Jordan Petersen and his ability in conveying his thoughts are considered and clear. The western world needs these people to educate our young and undo the damage that’s been done by those who want a globalists agenda.
This style of interview is very interesting. Its shot like a scene in a 90s sitcom as a conversation between two written characters except it's non fiction
EXCELLENT !!! What a remarkable, level headed, and impressive look at our country today.
Loving this talk from Canada. This knowledge and insight applies here as well. Could listen to VDH all day and hope young people tune in to hear this.
VDH - one of the greatest minds of our time. An intellectual, each word has the weight of gold.
Pure wisdom from Mr. Hanson
As we coast onward to an inevitable train wreck, it is comforting to see a youth appreciating one of grand experience and resolve. This should be "Must see, T.V."
What a great interview/conversation - both gentleman are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Brilliant
Nick, you did a great job with this interview. You asked a few intetesting questions then sat back and let VDH share his brilliance with us. Thank you.
So much wisdom in this short discussion.
Dr. Hanson is a universal treasure. I am a chilean that lives in Chile and I always listen to him. His believes, experience and culture applies to many people around the world like me. God bless him.
Victor Davis Hansen is the real deal. So smart, and so approachable. American treasure! 22:25 22:31
Great to listen and reflect on. I’m based in Sweden.
VDH hit nail on the head. We need people who can fix an work on things. I myself have trained myself to build an fix anything. I grow a garden. I work on my trucks an tractors. I can build a house from ground up. We need folks like that. Can do attitude.
You are one of the guys VDH talked about. My husband and I are in your bushel basket!
Along those lines, as we progress in technology, less people are trained or skilled enough to maintain the products we buy. The right to repair must be protected. I believe John Deere is being sue perhaps by successfully. I am worried about programs which are essential to gain functionality of the product which requires a monthly fee to keep it moving. I am as you are and trained myself to maintain the products I own but my career was vastly different. I feel we are rare and I also feel industry does want us to be this way. Sorry to drift off topic.
Beautifully done.
This is one of the most intellectually and smoothly worded "fear of the loss of American white supremacy." The dying old man passes down his fear and hope to the next generation boy. The perpetuation of white extinction is scary and promotes the us vs. them narrative, but man if this interview isn't impressively executed.
God Bless this Great Patriot !
This is such a thoughtful interview. So many nuggets I can’t list them all. VDH is one of the most thoughtful minds of our time.
I love to listen to Dr Victor Davis Hanson, nice kid too
I always stop to listen to any of the podcasts and/or videos in which Victor Davis Hanson is participating, conducting or interacting in any way. From conversations to speeches to interviews, he never fails to impress me with his knowledge of history, countries, peoples, events, or comments that enrich, engross, enlighten, compell, all of the above! He stimulates ideas, compelling you to listen and to think! I admire his life and contributions to education, rational thought, provocative and evocative discovery whether through his books, lectures, conversations, always exuding humility and grace!
I wish someone would name him Man of the Year!! It may be 2022!!! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your work, thoughts and life experiences, always profoundly interesting! God bless you and your family!🌍🌎🌏👏❤💓💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not that he is not sometimes interresint, but would you maybe explain to me what his apperent proposition that womans voting rights/citicenship (suffragettes) would be up to debate (a state issue) would mean to you?
VDH, a true national treasure.
This man is worth his weight in gold. I'm proud to say he lives literally down the street from me in Central California although I've never had the pleasure to meet him. Perhaps one day.....
God, this national treasure of knowledge and history needs to somehow be spared the rigors of time. We can’t afford to lose someone with this ability to explain things for how they really are. God Bless Victor Davis Hanson!!
Always encouraged to see a member of a younger generation gleaning wisdom from a fellow that's been around the block a few times,... then sharing. Goodwork!
Hey Victor Davis Hanson, My Uncle farmed 25-40 acres of Almonds for the last 40 years and taught Ag Classes at MJC for the same period. He is one of the most honest and hard working men with a passion for both teaching and farming and reminds me of you. Thank you for your opinions and common sense!
How I wish I could sit in his class. But it's great I could listen to him over and over again. What a privilege!
VDH is the man . I unmute the TV and listen to what he has to say when I'm otherwise busy on the computer .
Mr. Hanson is a remarkable man for many reasons. He is so richly informed on all important issues, his being a historian shows very clearly why all of us, especially politicians should be always life long history students. He is clearly understandable and I listen to him anywhere I may see him on my pc. I have some writings of his and they are as he...so easy to grasp what he says. If I was much younger and very well off I'd like to see that FOX or some TV/Internet had him on with at least MWF evenings on current things that need to be addressed, and so much more. This man should be running for office or in a very important position of influence in the WH or Congress. By the way, where is the other fine, solid, sensible Republicans or sound Democrats...I have not seen nor heard anything from the several we still have in U.S. that are men/women who we need to have out in public, battling this WH and etc, that is doing awful things to America.
Loving my Country as he speaks..
But I also pray...please....🙏
God Bless America.. 🇺🇸
So excellent! This helped me understand what is happening around me and this moves me from hopelessness to hope for America.🇺🇸
VDH is the wisest man in the world.
I've listened to him speak for hundreds of hours, never heard him have a conversation with a young person.
Very interesting.
I have “the dying citizen” in audiobook. It’s awesome! But I wish it was read by VDH. Just brilliant regardless.
i have same...disappointed he didnt read it also
💯
Mr. Hanson is wrong on the issue of civic nationalism versus ethnic nationalism. America would have never become a great nation if it were multicultural. It is one reason for the conflict and decline.
Think, people, if you still are able. Didn't he say that no country in the world has ever done it successfully? He was implying that the US has done it successfully, but it has not.
@@jakebredthauer5100 By what measure, has it not?
@@tompain2751 The disunity statistics are in the book. There was a colored guy in Wisconsin who was using his vehicle to chase white people in a parade and run over them. That is just the surface of the racial conflict. The Communists are using the conflict to divide and conquer. It is a mess that will be very difficult to remedy.
The guy said it was an experiment. It is now time to give the results of the experiment.
When I get all upset about things, Mr Hansen always calms me down, with his cool , reasoned outlook. But I still think this country is in trouble.
You think this country is in trouble because ....IT IS.
Dr. Hanson reminds me of many of my teachers as a kid growing up here in Imperial County who also farmed or ran cattle. They had to be businessmen, weathermen, mechanics, laborers, bilingual, electricians, vets, etc., etc. No wonder we learned so much.
Victor Davis Hanson excellent as usual.
I would listen to him all the day long
Outstanding, informative conversation! Thank you, Nick and Dr. VDH
Love you and your work Victor!!
"Dying Citizen" -- this Professor is very spot-on Accurate !!
This was so much fun to watch. Love this format. Love VDH
Just started Hanson's new book. Very interesting
Dr Hanson never disappoints!
His perspectives and deliveries are always so insightful and using his wealth of knowledge and ability to instantly clarify his points using practical examples, makes him both a teacher's teacher as well as a pupils teacher who can appeal to basically anyone at any level of education.
Bravo Dr, Professor, Historian, and Friend 🇺🇸
This was excellent! May there be more!
Wow, I am Victor Davis Hanson’s forever student. There is no statement that he utters where he’s teaching a lesson in every walk of life. I hope Nick & every 20 yo that watch this interview will take to heart what VDH said the basic tenets that young ones should master: Respect, first of all and be productive and contributing to society. Try to be self sufficient at a young age and don’t be a liability to your family or to society. We all have to be grateful for what we have and let’s all try to do better without being greedy or obsessive of wealth and look out for each other’s welfare.
I can go on and on about what an excellent educator VDH is in how he lives his life and I am so grateful he’s chosen the path he’s taking! Such a brilliant human being, truly somebody to emulate!
Might be the COOLEST interview I've ever seen with VDH...good job!
I've ordered Professor Hanson's book The Second World Wars. I cannot wait to read it.
Me too
I believe Victor Davis Hanson is a treasure sure but I am not sure with this US citizen rushing headlong into volcanism yeah you're welcome that even he at even heat will be able to survive to survive the demolition.
I meant WOKISM! The US is losing their leadership by dumbing down their education, their reqiurements
Very good talk. You asked him for positive thoughts. But what he gave you was the power of neutral thinking. We the people need this power to get us out of this woke movement. Check our emotions and think neutrality.
Both VDH, as well as the interviewer, are incredibly impressive. Young and old…everyone needs to be paying attention to wisdom like this.
I was blessed to have excellent teachers : Ms. Romer, Mr. Davis at Miami Dade Community College 20 years ago! They reinforce my determination to do the best- I discovered my potentials through their teaching. Thank you
If I could I would sit and listen to him for days without a break.
I would love to attend a lecture with him and Thomas Sowell speaking just about anything.
Well when I was 16 years old, I got my driver's license. I already knew how to drive because my Uncle Felix taught me how by driving a tractor during hay season and other things along the way. My first car was a 1971 Chevy Pickup V-8 and standard transmission, I drove it and it was time to do a tune-up and I was going to take it to where I bought it. My uncle said you will do no such thing and gave me a list of tools to buy- sears craftsmen are good. And then to Mark's auto parts for well the parts, I would need. They are still in business and I still buy stuff from them. My uncle talked me thru the whole process. It took about two hours. After that, I could do the job myself with no issue. That was then my current car you need a scan tool and not just a code reader you need specialized tools and about 6 hours to do the plugs. The old chevy would need to tune every 20 thousand miles or so, the car I have now well I had the work done last winter and by the time I will need to do it again in 100K I will have junked the car. Yeah, the world war two guys could work on the Shermans the Studebaker's, and the jeeps because they were pretty much the same as what they wrenched on as kids. In some ways, we lost that, but we are Americans and it's not like we never reinvented ourselves. I can do a lot of things on a car even today. I am thankful for the time my Uncle Felix took to show me how to do things and then watch over me doing those things. The nod of approval was the best thing because it was earned. Too many of our young people don't have that, and it's a shame. There is no room for failure these days and if you do you're done. That was not always so. I am teaching myself Russian, I learn more from the mistakes than I do when I get things correct.
Love Victor Davis Hanson. A great American!
Achingly wise man. Powerful.
Thanks Dr. Hanson!
It would be great to have VDH and Thomas Sowell together in discussion. This presentation was, by the way, excellent!!
Wise words Dr. Hanson. Thank you for the food for thought that gives me the energy to exercise my brain.
Phenomenally insightful.
Thank you Dr. Hansen for your clarity in defining American Exceptionalism.
“There is a freedom of expression. That’s very rare.” This brought to mind a conversation I had around 2001 or 2002. I was knocking on doors to passing out campaign literature. The man answering the door was obviously of middle eastern heritage and from his speech I guessed he was a recent immigrant. He was visibly frightened and distraught when I asked him if he had chosen who he intended to vote for. I assured him that the choice was his to make without fear, gave him some literature and wished him well. Today he would have more grounds for his apprehension.
Another factor of a great nation posture is exporting its culture, language & trade relations without relying on force, . Today English is the most spoken second language in the world and its not because of occupation or colonisation but it's because of great innovations in communication devices & methods and based on what I used, saw & learned about this culture while living up since my birth in 7 different countries miles away in both Mid East & Europe. In all of which I found people speaking English.
Great listen
A language used to great effect in one of America's most popular recent cultural exports.. 'Beavis and Butthead'.
Good relaxed and personable format. Love these long form opps to hear VDH speak in detail & context as opposed to msm soundbites even though he can drop more truth bombs in those segments than anyone I’ve seen.
"The best teachers I've ever had...have always done something other than teaching."
Yessss!
That *was* good, Nick 🤝👏👏👏👏👏 🍻 delightful conversation. God bless 🇺🇸❤️✌️🙏
I can't put into words within this space how much I respect this man.
He is on my bucket list to meet some day if I should be so fortunate.
Riveting conversation. Learned more in the past 20 minutes than I did in any college course. Gives me a bit of hope for the future our country which keeps slipping away. Thank you for posting. The internet is a awful in many respects but videos like this are the exception to the rule. Let's hope for the resurrection of the dying citizen.
This guy makes you feel hopeful about our future even though we're breaking. Love VDH
You can not fix a flat tire with a flat tire!
Transfer of hate is not fixing what we can not control our color. We are humans that's what we are all fighting for the same thing. Peace, equality, and freedom.
And Definitely NOT The Equity GARBAGE Currently Being Forced In Our Faces Daily!
@@johnmeckel2319 Equity is calculated, targeted discrimination with the goal of "evening out" everyone's achievement, but the inevitable result is limiting everyone to no better than the lowest achievers. A prime example is the "dumbing down" of education: Don't allow the motivated and brighter students to learn more faster and excel, because that will result in unequal school achievement, so lower the expectations so that even the most disinterested, laziest, and least bright students can enjoy the illusion of achieving just as much as everyone else. Never mind that they've learned practically nothing, as long as there is "equity."
Ethno-cultural nationhood as political or social preference does not necessarily have to imply 'hate' as a principle of existence. Multicultural lands or nations are often the most strife-ridden. Forcing it on nations that do not wish it and never sanctioned it politically is obviously going to cause endless trouble and division.
@@Lytton333 Very true. I think that's a large part of the reason for the intensifying anger in society. The Marxists and those wanting to, er, "blend and homogenize" the nations and cultures of the world would have the effect of not allowing any nation or society to keep their own distinct culture and values, their own distinct identity. I can't blame any nation or society for fighting back against that tooth and nail, hammer and tongs.
Brilliance... WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS IS MORE PEOPLE LIKE MR. HANSON. Thank you so much for sharing, this is golden.
