This man is amazing. His intellect and ability to communicate ideas - AND facts - second to none.

The California Club made the right choice for their first big event in three years. Victor Davis Hanson is the greatest historian of our time. The man who started this wonderful speaker series passed away in December 2020. May Pepperdine University Regent Augustus Taliaferri Rest in Peace.

VDH is a national treasure.

Mr. Hansen is a great man, thinker, and American. Every time I listen to him speak I learn something new. There aren’t too many people like that in the world.

Dr. Hanson is a staple in my pantry of knowledge and wisdom.

For someone who is so learned, I feel no arrogance, just thoughtful arguments.

This is an amazing man. Thanks to Pepperdine for letting him speak.

Listen to this man! His “sober and judicious” insights are rooted in empirical data… historical trends… and “muscular” common sense. May God bless America (and VDH).

That's pretty good - muscular common sense. Wow!

The most important point here is the lack of accountability. If a government official lies to congress under oath should at the least lose their job AND their government benefits/pension, at most be put up against the wall for treason.

Our only hope is and has always been in Christ alone!

Amen to that!

I will feel more hope when Mr. Hanson is motivated to write a book titled, "The Modern Citizen, from life support to Free Again"

I'm afraid Dr. Hanson won't be able to write that book. I wish he could but the Left never stops pushing leftward.

Just listened to this again in Oct. it is amazing how accurate he predicted how Putin would do in Ukraine

Nice...Most brilliant man on earth. Thanks Pepperdine

Thanks to Pepperdine for sponsoring VDH's great ideas

He is so spot on about everything...Especially about the young men in our country and their "failure to launch". We have taught them that they always will have a safety net. Parents have in many ways mimicked the "Nanny State" where there are no expectations for success just obstacles so we have to keep saving them. The best thing that we could do is cut them off completely and force them to fit in to the system that they are so vigorously resisting. Things would really change if public assistance and familial assistance was to cease as the economy would have to completely reshape itself due to the demand of those who actually contribute rather than just except hand outs.

Thank you for pointing out, specifically, which aspect you felt was most important during this discussion.

Victor Davis Hanson is so astute! He gives me hope and understanding.

Thanks Dr. Hanson, you are helping Americans understand more about US Constitution and Democracy of USA. 😅

Mike Rowe and Victor Hanson brought together through an understanding of work. God implemented the fall of the human race & sin as the punishment for our sin with the final wage being death. He is a wrathful God but in His unbelievable mercy gave us a means to get through, and to do so in a godly manner if we would, through work. Work. We don't redeem ourselves with it, we can't imprrove this fallen world through ingenuity and perseverance unto heavenly perfection, we can't save ourselves (find another world...) with it but we can get through in a good and godly manner with it. We are lazy to our detriment. But lazy can't hold a candle to delegitimisation of the work ethic. Love his take on the trades. We need to give experience (what he specifically referred to) far greater respect. That is a thing for kids to aspire to and I wish it hadn't been so demeaned and disrespected for so long. Perhaps this insanity is succumbing to more rational thinking but please remember to avoid replacing one form of tyranny with another. Seek out the strength & wisdom of God. Start in the Holy Bible's Gospel of John then move on to the book of Proverbs then read the rest.

Outstanding lecture as always.

Go VDH!

The best speech on a subject!!!!!!

There is ALWAYS hope for America and the American Citizen. It has been repeatedly said elsewhere that "Tough Times" make for "Tough People". Since the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia and with such high Gasoline and Food prices and now there is a further threat from Supply Chain issues and our Food, these "Tough Times" will NOW mold the "Tough People" our Nation needs right now! Looking at our Countries History, this is exactly what has happened!

Brilliant

VDH is the wisest man in the world.

Thank you for hanging in there during these difficult times. Stay in California!

Great!

Regards conservative professors: the advice Mr. Hanson gives is verbatim the advice given black and Japanese students in the 1950's. Guess there is always someone who needs to be twice as good to be as good. Good thing most people are lazy.

God Bless VDH!! 1:10:09

it's the third Century Rome Revisited

The Parents are to blame

Is there hope for the living ones ?

I know all kinds of people who go to college for 6 years and still do not have any kind of degree. I call them professional students. It's their pseudo career.

such a great speaker and such poor audio.

You have to get Canada to get on board.

You shouldn't have said ideologically correct. You should have said ideologically committed.

😢😢

Skip to 6:36 for VDH

You never worked in construction

He will get his Presidency again

Sadly… Poor audio..

It’s gonna be a tsunami!!!!

Civil Service is a noble pursuit only when executed Nobley

e pluribus unum

Those things predicted by the Lord God and recorded by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 8) are coming true before your very own eyes. Wake up!

1st

Geezuz. Every talk VDH gives is about things falling apart. Look outside, the sun's up and flowers are blooming. Life's never been better...except that now the crazies have a loud voice.

Abundance and “prosperity” are not always good too much of anything can be bad. Too much pride gives way to entitlement , too much abundance gives way to health problems such as obesity. Too much idleness gives way to people that are gong to be a burden to others such as people that have been on welfare all of their lives and even multiple generations. When abundance is rampant people tend to fabricate problems where they normally wouldn’t exist

They failed

Victor, next time put that mic in near your mouth.

Fierce Hoover Institute war-fighter VD Hanson likes those NATO weapons on Russia's border. I bet he'd love Russia's weapons in Cuba.
