Count me in with the VDH "groupies" too. On KZbin, I jump on any podcast that features this great American patriot. He understands with crystal clarity the chaos and and anarchy our country finds itself in, and articulates the problem plainly so that all Americans who are willing to listen can understand and act upon. He is more optimistic about our national future than I am. Nevertheless, he gives me a dimly shining sliver of hope that maybe, just maybe we can still react as members of a "dying citizenry" to right the ship of state, and return to the classic values of the Enlightenment and the Renaissance as the basis for a restored cultural polity.

[@gccfp]

This is a super interview. Questions were thoughtful, clear and concise. Appreciate letting VHD do what he does, answer questions better & more thoroughly than any other scholar. He is a national treasure for sure. VHD, what a great analogy using Sherman and the "March to the Sea" in the Civil War. That is exactly how Israel should be allowed to deal with Hamas. Raised as a student of the Civil War, (not hard if you paid attention in the 60's), southerners were taught history from the perspective of the USA, before and after the War. History was taught in every grade; every year. We were taught GA, US & World history. Generally speaking we were taught the "lost cause" and arrogance of the south that lead to the war. Plus, schools took us each year to places like Grant Park-the Cyclorama, Stone Mtn., battlefields like Kennesaw and others all over the state, which were about seeing the remains of the Confederate south. We understood from an early age the exact point VHD made of Israel. If Sherman had not marched right through the middle of the south and this state, the war would have dragged on producing greater losses and devastation. That point was driven home in my 50's by staying at the Union League In Phil., PA. Spending one day alone in the Lincoln museum which holds the largest collection of Lincoln artifacts. The Civil War was much more appreciated from the "northern" perspective on just how IMPORTANT the "Union League" played in the war. Their private contributions of $20 million to Lincoln allowed Sherman the funds for the soldiers, the gear, traveling nurses and mobile hospitals to help him on his March to the sea. If not for those sacrifices, we might still be fighting. It is the PERFECT analogy of how Israel should handle Hamas VHD made. Only depressed about his answer on what may occur. More than likely you VHD will be right. Israel is stopped short of ending Hamas, and 5 or 10 years is all that is accomplished. Compared to the South being re-introduced to the Union and this great United States, 160 years later we haven't fought each other again. The humiliation the north imposed on the south stopped separation and reintroduced Union or better said the "United States." Sure hope Israel is allowed the same chance with Gaza.

(Eph 2:17-18) I haven't listened to Mr Hanson much but it's a privilege every time I'm fortunate to do so. I imagine hearing the apostle Paul when he talks. Thanks for a great "real" interview that generates hope in times of fear.

PLEASE Marissa...have Victor Hansen back . I am just a rancher/cowboy ( my JOB not my GENDER😅) . I went to all the "right schools" as a teenager..dropped out of UBC in 1959 and ran back to the hills . Ive been raising cows and breaking the horses and training the dogs to help me do the work hoping my kids would join me eventually raising the essential food for our growing country. They are all smart enough to help run the ranch . Every one of my kids could drive a truck and a tractor and run the squeeze at branding time by age 10. Not one of my kids is full time ranching but they are all successful in their chosen fields, have great work ethics and are community builders .'nuff said. EVERYTHING in this discussion was honest, notable, factual ( I fact check anything that I question and I question everything🙄) AND commonsense . This was SUCH a good interview. I have kept a running list of individuals Id really like to sit down and chat with. I have had to scratch off people like Churchill, Gorbachev, Adele Davis, and Louis St Laurent as they died. My list is longer, more relevant, much more eclectic and every bit as unlikely to be bothered with an 83 year old cowboy. However, I have a long list of topics and a longer list of questions for this man, Victor Hanson should the unlikely opportunity ever arise . I consider myself middle aged as an octenagarian . I am a lifelong carnivore by chance, choice and situation and I now discover that may be the reason I can do now everything I did at 20 Maybe I will live long enough to have Mr Davis answer even ONE of my questions.!!?? IN MR DAVIS' EXTREME CRITICAL THOUGHT PROCESSES , When DOES HE THINK WILL BE THE FINAL BLOW TO STOP AND TURN THIS CANCEL CULTURE PENDULUM AND ALL ITS ACCOUTREMENTS BACK.. and WHERE DOES HE BELIEVE THE FINAL COUPE DE GRAS WILL HAPPEN, AND WHICH WILL BE THE "CASUALTY COUNTRIES" needing the most rebuilding from their present states of destruction .
