If more professors were like him I would have stayed in college. As a country boy from a county of 4000 people that is 98% Republican one year of the left wingers was all I could stand. I was there to be a history teacher and was constantly criticized and attacked because i would noy assimilate to their socialist/communist views on history. It probably worked out for the best though as i make far more money as the co-owner of a concrete finishing business. I will never send my son to a university to get a useless degree. I will teach him my trade or send him to a trade school where he will actually have a future.

This conversation was uplifting! I am 81 years old and I was about to give up completely, as I thought no one thinks like I do anymore and I am ready to leave this earth. I then came across this podcast and I have hope again! Our country is being destroyed by other cultures that want handouts but won’t integrate with our way of thinking. They have left destruction behind to come here yet they cling to what they left behind. The ignorance is astounding and it is really destroying America. Thank you so much for giving me hope for my grandchildren! I was almost certain Armageddon was at our door!

From an aggressive environment in which only your interests are to be realized at all costs, as the U.S. and Israel are doing at the moment, and to a large extent the European Union, Can something good come out, It can't. It's clear he can't. S.A.D has never represented the international community. In fact, the international community considers the U.S. the biggest threat to peace! I think the U.S. should stop meddling internationally and should focus on getting their own country together first. Then, in a few decades, we can let them re-enter the UN. Because they scream America first, but it's never really America first, right? Maybe we should bring some democracy to S.A.D. Now it is too late for you to do anything because you are close to bankruptcy. I respect Russia and China because they have shown that they have a moral compass towards human life. The world is tired of the west. The U.S. needs the intervention of humanity. They must stop their bullying and international blackmail schemes. Neither money nor power are important in this court, because only the purity of the soul and the sincerity of our actions count. As a European, a Catholic, I see things that way.

I worked in industry prior to becoming a chem professor at a liberal university. The best way I can describe that transition was that I had entered an insane asylum. Industry (at least while I was working there) was all about getting the job done and done well. I had nothing but good things to say about the people (mostly men) that I worked with. I felt respected and valued. In contrast, the university was all about individuals and their egos. Faculty members would torpedo their own faculty, departments, students and even the university itself to get their own way and there were NO consequences for their actions. I used to describe it as the Roman Colosseum where either you were down on the floor fighting or in the stands cheering for your side. Students, temporary and untenured faculty were used as foot soldiers. When I spoke up I was told I was the problem. I have been retired for some time but I must admit there is some comfort in finally seeing faculty to be shown for what they are. At the same time, I am fearful since I am fully aware of the lengths they will go to win and that they have no regard for the consequences. They will NEVER admit they are wrong.

I too was, far a short while after retirement, an adjunct professor (of economics and banking). The attention span and the devotion to learning of the students was surprisingly lacking. I was naïve in believing that young minds would borrow or be given from parents the funds, and then do homework and would respond and participate in class discussions. Their grades showed they did not. They also seemed to be offended at not given a passing grade. Of course, as an adjunct professor, I was an "at will" employee. I failed "too many of those in my classes over a longer period that reasonable!" God bless Dr. Hanson and Condoleezza Rice for bringing morality back to education. May we pray it takes root.

As a "bull headed" 75 year old conservative it's not easy to change my mind. Victor Davis Hanson so impresses me with his easygoing wisdom it compells me to seriously consider the points he makes. He brings out the reasonableness in the mind of those possessing a reasonable mind. More Americans need to be exposed to Mr. Hansons viewpoints.Somehow, he reminds me of the calm, reassuring demeanor of Dwight Eisenhower.

The more you see what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank, the more you realize how out of touch VDH is, or maybe intentionally blind to what is causing the violence in the occupied territories. Anyone who believes Israel has been "restrained" in its treatment of Palestinians needs only to take a look at what has been happening in occupied West Bank and Gaza for decades. From land theft, settler lawlessness ignored by authorities, extra-judicial killings by the IDF, an Israeli permit system designed to cripple the life of Palestinians in every conceivable way, livestock turnstiles that Palestinians have to go through to be able to cross the street, and to many daily humiliations that are just common place - the causes of violence are plain to see for anyone that wants to understand. Fair warning, if you do decide to do some research into the treatment of Palestinians in the occupied territories, be prepared to be shocked to the core. If you don't want to have nightmares, stick with what is on TV, don't look beneath the surface.

Victor Hanson has one those extraordinary minds in which we revel, in the insights he brings.

Absolutely, yes Mr. Anderson! We need our elders wisdom and guidance to be one accord AND we need support from our predecessors for focused clarity and our peers for momentum. But, most importantly, we must operate in unity standing together against unexceptional, self-serving, denigrating expression to crystallize civic engagement for our successors.

This was my second viewing of this episode. I want to congratulate both John and Victor for articulating these issues so perfectly. I agree completely with absolutely everything they said. Millions of Americans, Australians, and free peoples all over the world share your views. You speak for all of us in crystal clarity about the bedrock morality of our Western Civilization which is so imperiled worldwide today. There are powerful global institutions arrayed against us, masquerading under a cynical banner of "peace and social justice" when what they clandestinely really want is authoritarian power and suppression of all dissent. Despite the dark tragedy of what the animalistic barbarians did on October 7th, Victor has given us hope that the silent majority in the free world is waking up to the reality of the existential threat facing all of us who at least vaguely comprehend the values of the Enlightenment that underpins our democratic societies. If we can translate that anxiety and understanding into political activism, we might, just might, fend off further descent into worldwide barbarism and inhumanity. I pray that Victor and John's tenuous optimism comes to fruition. Victor says that it won't be easy, but that he believes that it can be done. Amen.

Excellent. Two leaders expressing their views. We need these types of leaders in our government. Bravo John and Victor.

This was so excellent. I am an American Christian man who married a Jewish Israeli woman and have been living in Israel for 6 years. I am not used to war, and this has been terrifying, angering, and just awful. It helps to hear a brilliant historian, who's very in tune with the world of diplomacy and war and I sure hope he's right, for the sake of my life and my family.

I wish this was mandatory watching … what a clear, calm explanation of what is really happening!

I second John's opening line. It's also a privilege to listen to his thoughts ❤

Thank you VDH for your consistent clear moral sanity. You are doing SO much good. May God bless you, sir.

You have given me hope for the West, I have been feeling absolute despair and incredulity at how the younger generations are re-writing history and destroying democracy, and such a rampant cancellation Society for speaking the real truth.

There is politics and then there is human lives at risk. Young people are for social good so they will stand strong for justice to the oppressed.

Victor Davis Hanson articulated the dynamics of this situation in an extremely accurate manner. That’s surprising coming from a Stanford University professor and it’s very refreshing.

He is absolutely right. Maybe we are waking up from moral paralysis!

Excellent interview John. Victor’s analysis and wisdom are so sorely needed to be heard. A breath of fresh air.

What a treasure!!! thank you, Victor Davis Hanson for sharing your wisdom and knowledge of what is happening in our world and country today. Your insights give me hope for the future of my children and grandchildren.

Can you imagine having VDH as your HS history teacher?? ❤

Thank you Victor Davis Hanson for your insights and encouragment! You've put a smile on my face and given me hope regarding the country I love. You are truly a hero in my eyes and I am sharing your brilliance with everyone I know!!!! I would love to hear Condalisa's address to the Hoover Institute.

Yep. We’ve lost Kissinger, Reagan and soon to lose Chomsky to name two. Great men, not always right, but they THOUGHT. Which is severely lacking in the younger generations. They’re all about emotionally driven “experiences”....

Very interesting to hear this discussion two weeks after this started.

This was a great discussion. One I really needed to hear this week. Thank you.

Victor Davis Hanson is truly the definition of what we refer to as "A National Treasure". So sober, lucid, alert, sharp, empathic, loving, stable, pragmatic, learned...on and on...

Good intelligent men Mr Anderson and Mr Hanson period.. thank you ❤😊

What a great mature conversation! Thank you both.

This was fantastic! Such an intelligent conversation.

V. D. Hanson is an honest voice which says it all loud and morally clear. I wish more and more people can wake up today and be strong and untied against the evil terrorist and far left extremists, including the ones in our Congress, and academia.

United, just a correction of the mis-typed "untied". 😊

Thank you for your accurate and frank discourse on our present state of disorder. Greater thanks for your prescription to navigate Western Society out of these dark ages. Of note, major airlines -Delta, United, American, Alaska etc have dropped the requirement for pilots to have a college degree. The product universities deliver is arrogant, ignorant, entitled and corrosive - they do more damage than they are worth.

Great discussion by great minds. I've been a fan of Hanson. He is very well informed, highly intelligent and has calm demeanor about him, just as his Sky news host. Thank you.

Thank you for this great interview with Victor Davis Hanson.

I could listen to Victor Davis Hansen forever lol. Not cause of the sound of his voice, but how he works around any topic just seems to gently unearth apparent truths.

Thank you I agree as you so elegantly covered the aspects of our society today and education. Also we the people speaking up and getting involved remember fear is a liar and will destroy a country.

I’ve listened to several hours of VDH since 7/10 and this is the first talk where a get a sense of optimism in so far as he commented on the the growing pushback against illiberalism by the the moderate left.

At a time of ominous tension it was reassuring to hear from Victor Davis Hanson about the resolve of middle America. I really haven't seen anything of that in our mainstream media. What impressive knowledge, critical thinking and analysis Victor brought to the interview. An outstanding interview by you John Anderson. Really key questions which elicited many insightful and actually news breaking responses. And for an ex very senior politician you certainly know how to listen. Thanks for the contribution you're making with this channel.

So very glad I can hear you, Victor Davis Hansen. Have not been able to receive your Ebooks of lectures. Such pure untangled rhetoric. Thank you.

But would have been more helpful had he shown some understanding of other countries and peoples- America does not rule the world. We have to understand and get on with our neighbours on this planet. Very disappointing that there was no discussion of the CONTEXT of this situation. History requires us to understand context in order to move towards in peace.

Totally agree. Stop tiptoe around aggressors. For years, the west prioritize trade over national security, selling out our moral obligations on doing the right thing. Israel fails to condem Putin for invading Ukraine, continues to trade sensitive materials with CCP. Now, see what kind of support Israel get in return?

One of the most inspirational interviews in my 70 yrs of existance .Very optimistical.

I totally agree & remain optimistic about America’s future. 1. Restoring America’s prominence & greatness in the world, hinges on one thing: 2. Ballot Integrity. 3. If the Democrats are allowed to perpetually steal presidential elections-as they did in 2020-America is doomed. 4. The Republican leaderships in ALL the swing states MUST secure their respective state’s electoral laws & procedures. 5. AND restore border control & enforce ALL immigration laws.

Thank you John, a most insightful and honest discussion with Victor, Peace.

Victor Davis Hanson is amazing! Thank God for your intelligent analysis🎉

Exceptional interview! And full of hope in a world in distress

“Higher education doesn’t know their own peril….they have to learn to speak morally’! Absolutely true. C.S. Lewis’ ‘The Abolition of Man” and the natural law tradition he expounds has never been more important to reclaim. Liberalism and it’s focus on autonomy is dead but still seems not to realise it. Conversations like this will help to wake up the asleep who dare to call themselves woke. Excellent conversations.

Thank you for the most insightful and encouraging discussion, Professor Hanson unlike most academics today, has incredible courage and wisdom, I would also like to thank John Anderson for his pertinent questions, it was the most nuanced level discussion on the war in Israel and the impact on international relations.
