“The End of Everything,” with Victor Davis Hanson | Uncommon Knowledge

[@marcbra5074]

Fabulous to listen to. Who watches TV when there’s Interviews like this.

[@baltasarnoreno5973]

Victor makes it transparently clear why anyone in politics or in any kind of leadership role should have a very deep education in history. Everything that is happening in the world today has happened before. It's just a question of recognising the events and personalities.

[@paulmilligan3007]

The biggest worry is the truth of “we are not the people we were”.

[@Dante43437]

Victor Davis Hanson - one of the best military historian nowadays. Thank you for this guest!

[@stephensangalli]

Peter is always well prepared and does an excellent job of interviewing his guests. He deserves a lot of praise for his efforts.

[@JeddieT]

Well, it will come down to this... _“Do you want freedom, or not? Freedom costs blood. That’s the fact, that’s the law of human nature. If you want it, you have to pay a price. If you turn around and give it away, you’re not going to have it. The option you’re now playing with is horrible. What you have now that was bought with blood, is going to be taken. And when you give that away, it’s not replaced with a different kind of freedom. You don’t replace freedom with freedom. Freedom is replaced by oppression, by dominance, by horrible things.”_ ~ Native American Comanche Indian, Dr. David Yeagley

[@jesuewalker2562]

I was blessed to be taught a class by Dr Hanson. Brilliant!

[@markseehawer3762]

I believe what Victor is saying Is closer than we think. I think it's a when not an if. None of will be ready for whats coming. I'm 64 and this will happen with in my life time. I have felt this way for quite some time now. Make the most of your lives now.

[@heathermc2916]

Have tremendous respect for VDH. Have read him thoroughly. However, as a military strategist, I wish he'd offer a strategy for the majority of Americans who want to save our country! The problems are obvious. The solutions and how to implement them are the problem.

[@DudeFun-yi7nu]

Brilliant, frightening, illuminating -- the cold shower of reality, thank you.

[@robingiusti6704]

This is the first time ive really sat and listened to VDH. I heard so many people speak about him. I must say he is quite an extraordinary and rare individual.

[@Jelenicza]

Extraordinary and absolutely brilliant! Most people don't want freedom, they just brag about it. Freedom requires sacrificial responsibility and courageous uncompromising attitude. Most people want comfort instead.

[@billturner6564]

The end does not comes when a society no longer has faith in its own religious beliefs and its own history but when it becomes so cynical it refuses to believe that their adversaries really do still believe in theirs

[@soniag4516]

I audited one of his classes and fell in luv with Professor/Author/historian back in early 2000. He happens to be from the same area of California I lived for 34 years. I can't listen to him enough.

[@JavelinCoaching]

One of the finest minds, so knowledgable, articulated, and a true enciclopedia of so many topics, history, literature, politics, and so on. I enjoy his podcasts so much.

[@MFJoneser]

How a man with this much knowledge gets out of bed everyday baffles me as much it inspires me. Which is a lot a lot.

[@MFJoneser]

We are so blessed to have Peter Robinson working this space. What a talent, what a resource. What a character! Brilliant soul, lovely intentions. Deeply skilled. I’ll calm down now.

[@japponica]

What a brilliant 👏 man and so goes Western society. Instead of a massive onslaught, we are being destoyed by slow strangulation within.

[@friedarobertson1240]

This is my first time to hear Victor Davis Hanson and I am sorry to say that. What a treasure!! What an absolutely spot-on and timely interview and I hope and pray millions in the USA (the world actually) hear this and understand the full parallels of our time and this history lesson. We will learn from history...or repeat it. Thank you so much for this presentation. I am ordering the book pronto.

[@bekscha579]

I went to the Hagia Sophia right before the election when it was still a museum. Only months after that trip it was a mosque again. It was stunning. The history is palpable and fascinatingly still ongoing.

[@gavingarcia9566]

What a humble, wise and brilliant man Victor is. Not enough of fellow citizens know of him. I've often thought what a privilege it would be to drop by the farm on our shared September 5th birthday and spend the afternoon engaged in conversation.

[@thormusique]

This is an absolutely brilliant discussion that should be required viewing. Victor Davis Hanson is precisely the kind of thinker the US (and the world) needs more of, and all his books are remarkable. Let us pray that sanity, knowledge, and wisdom prevail. Cheers!

[@jksmithiii]

Read Thucydides in college. Then work stole my mind. Close to retirement. Might retire just to read VDH's works. Already read a couple. Part of the definition of sovereignty is simply having the time to think and discover for yourself instead of being paid to think and discover for decades of turd company after turd company. Sincere thanks Prof Hanson.

[@mackenshaw8169]

I don't think English speakers can get their head around this idea. A short conversation with anyone from Rhodesia would be most educational for this.

[@1rwjwith]

MR. HANSON IS A man I will always listen to implicitly on any subject. So brilliant to listen to this history.

[@TaleOfTwoIdiots]

I never tire of listening to Mr. Hansen share his knowledge.

[@lesleymclean5635]

Thank you Peter and Victor. So good to listen to a non-strident, thoughtful conversation. I'm a fan from Chile.

[@ProdigalSon684]

Dear Lord Jesus, Please let the leaders of America heed the lessons of history.

[@solidsender69]

Historical sense: the gift of History.

[@TheLastSongbird124]

There are some people that can be readily said to be much more than the sum of their parts, Mr Hanson goes way beyond even this explanation of his intellect, knowledge and calm rational thinking and assessments. I could listen to him talk all day. My huge respect to you Mr Hanson.

[@calebm8922]

Always love it when you have VDH on! Can’t wait to watch

[@cos2mer2]

VDH, Our national treasure!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevinkilduff2064]

VDH, the brightest light in a slowly darkening room. God bless this beacon of wisdom.

[@loladehoyos]

What a national treasure A very wise man ! Love listening to him he makes it easy blessings Sir

[@chriswong9158]

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

[@Stuart.McGregor]

Peter, please carve out an extra hour next time you have VDH in the chair. I feel like we only scratched the surface on what he has to say.

[@thewealthofnations4827]

Amazing, if you want to wake up to the reality you live in, take Victor Davis Hanson. Choose to ignore it and ride your ignorant bliss into the end of everything.

[@ChrisMoffat-ov3lx]

50.59: "People who have not been defeated or are accustomed to a position of superiority, culturally, militarily, they think that they are invulnerable for ever, and they are not aware of insidious decline." .... "We have been here a thousand years .... we can't fall" This reminds me, as a Brit, of the UK and of the deluded thinking of our government, indeed of almost all of our political class, that spending only 2% of GDP on defence is adequate, with an aspiration to spend 2.5% "when economic conditions allow" as they themselves put it.

[@rw9854]

I am a fellow Brit (Englishman) and I completely agree. 2% is faffing around at the margins. Laughable level of commitment against real problems. A related and potentially wider issue. Could you imagine anything as in depth, serious and interesting as Uncommon Knowledge and this conversation being produced or broadcast in England these days?? The BBC and other mainstream media couldn't and wouldn’t do it

[@waterboy2602]

This is such a great discussion! Each example cited would make for their own lectures. Victor is brilliant at bringing these stories to life in the modern age.

[@jessicarowley9631]

This is fascinating. I have studied Ancient Greek history (and language), and I learned so much from this discussion. It was revalatory. The entire programme will be sending me back to the history books, starting with both of the books highlighted in the introduction. Thank you, Victor Davis Hunter, for talking and writing about these horrific historical events.

[@jamesboekbinder3967]

Wonderful to hear him again explaining the past.

[@GlassEyedDetectives]

I always listen up when Victor speaks.....a great mind, thank you. What do we do when impatient, self-assured, tyrannical Futurists go on the offence?....well, the entrenched Traditionalists go on the defense to protect what they hold dear,......while those who just live in the 'Now' are utterly bamboozled and totally oblivious as to what is going on around them, and totally ignorant of what is at stake, and thus they inevitably get captured, displaced and/or even destroyed during the conflict. 'This is the Way' i'm sad to say.

[@orangerucker2583]

I can listen to this guy all day

[@frankagliotti3626]

A very insightful perspective. Thank you for drawing from the well of wisdom from Victor Davis Hanson historian mind on civilizations guided by his deep Judeo Christian values.

[@rickyrexton7670]

Congratulations for such an incredible interview.

[@oldpcgamers7450]

Close follower of VDH here. I have seen him go from concern to worry. We should worry.

[@matthewsheek8306]

What an interesting time we live in. The Enlightenment has come to an end and we’re are confident in our power to extend it

[@beirbua3968]

MAGNIFICENT-THANKS FROM IRELAND

[@karendowden697]

Such a gentle truth defender. It would be an honour to meet Mr. Hanson.

[@robsrockinout]

And a measurably brilliant find. Thank you Peter and thank you Dr Hanson

[@konstantinosstamatopoulos425]

Thank you for your knowledge and spread of Greek history

[@lyyliesther984]

What a fascinating conversation. Insightful author indeed. I wish we had thinking minds like these two men, at the helm running our countries. At the moment it seems like we are run by a bunch of lunatics.

[@saltavaliente]

Insightful , thoughtful and a provocative discussion. Thanks Victor. I can’t wait to read your book in depth

[@markie1aa]

This is fan-bloody-tastic. I can't wait to get the book & get educated & grow up.

[@TimL_]

Absolutely sublime conversation. Mr Hanson is a deeply educated scholar with a Greek soul. I will certainly read his latest book.

[@a.p.5906]

Victor Davis Hanson for Secretary of State.

[@RichardCanavan-ze9mi]

Excellent, VDH is treasure.

[@jjforcebreaker]

Oh I'm going to enjoy this! Thank you Mr. Robinson.

[@derekmclellan2824]

"It took us all day to land 135,000, us being the British and the Americans [... and the Canadians.] Just like the Hollywood movie "The Longest Day", no mention of the Canadians. The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division landed on Juno Beach on 6 June 1944. Why do we always get forgotten?

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

For more read The Collapse Of Complex Societies by Joseph Tainter. Great read.

[@redcae1911]

This was amazing. Vdh is great Happy to listen my the name of my country,Cyprus in this video

[@thevegandragon4676]

Awesome! Thank you guys

[@rubenlaracuente8991]

THIS MAN IS A HERO ❤

[@Jadeserphant]

Wonderful video. Very informative. There is so much to think about in this one.

[@marcsmith8716]

Totally and thoroughly BRILLIANT!

[@dahof2789]

I knew about 1% about any of this but listened to it all. I think I leveled up to 1.1%. Brilliant Men

[@stephendavey329]

Brilliant presentation!

[@ghostbeetle2950]

Thank you, gentlemen!

[@sprintcarfan87]

Brilliant!

[@tomcampbell4414]

Man this is always the highlight of my month!

[@LRRPF52]

This reminds me of a biblical theme, the desolation of abomination.

Dueteronomy 32:28-29 For they are a nation devoid of reason, having no understanding. If they had insight they would realize this, they would understand their end:

[@lllllllllIIIIIIIIIIl]

wow so deep bro

[@Dicklesberg]

Love this guy so much. Both of them actually. Such a pleasure. I would really love to see a VDH deep dive book specifically into Cortes and the conquest of Mexico. It’s such a great and complex story that merits more in-depth exploration.

[@rollnstone5539]

I'm just glad it was a book review

[@deloresdilday3978]

FANTASTIC KNOWLEDGE FROM A VERY WELL READ WISE MAN❤

[@Broomtwo]

This just made my day

[@louverture905]

Professor Hanson is so interesting. I plan to get this book.

[@alexeyrodokanakis8827]

This was absolutely brilliant

[@MrRentgould]

Always great ,thank you .

[@headspaceandtiming2114]

Such a clarity of history and consequences. Great program.

[@derekbascombe7731]

Were DJT to win in November, I'd love to see the opportunity to open up (however remote it might be) for the new Trump administration to include Mr. V.D. Hanson as the new Secretary of State. Notwithstanding the numerous reasons that it's unlikely to happen (incl. VDH's own possible unwillingness to join the political world), I'd just love to see any foreign diplomat - even heads of state - try to stand up to the man of VDH's intellect and breadth of knowledge, especially the knowledge so deeply imbued with his understanding of history....

[@rw9854]

Amen brother

[@dabig_guy2204]

Amazing series and the video.❤

[@billkruegerrealtor6850]

I would love to hear a conversation with Victor Davis Hanson and Dan Carlin. I will pay for that!!!

[@willemvanriet7160]

Fascinating insight!

[@justwanderin847]

excellent interview

[@ActFast]

Thank God we have big oceans 🌊 protecting our shores.

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

Too bad you are letting in millions of Jihadis through your southern border.

[@joshuap9580]

this is true, our only potential weakness is internal.

[@lorellgingrich6603]

the skies are vast...

[@rishotube]

These two are great together

[@tkmmkt6569]

This was very good however I have one criticism. I don’t understand why you put such strict time constraints on this. I heard you say this is television. I’m assuming this is maybe broadcast on PBS or something I’ve only ever seen it on KZbin but may I make a suggestion why not break it into two parts even if you and Victor sat down for two hours straight in reality just make it to episodes. It seemed like barely 25 minutes had gone by when you were already saying you were running out of time and had to compress everything….

[@robertgould8099]

Thank you! Terrifying clarity.

[@thewealthofnations4827]

Too few people will watch this video.

[@OklahomaDsDad]

I'm on the last chapter now. I recommend this book. Chapter 4 ( the Aztecs) is terrifying.

[@parochial2356]

Victor Hanson @ 54:37: No capitulation to the Chinese. Bravo Professor!

[@jimluebke3869]

Speaking of Constantinople -- there is a movement online today, known as "Ortho-bro's" -- young men who are rediscovering Orthodoxy. It will be interesting to see where this leads. See also: _Reconquista,_ a movement to re-consecrate beautiful and historic American churches that have fallen away from traditional Christian teaching.

[@Jakoclubs]

Very educational and informative, but I wish the host would not interrupting the guest when he is speaking.

[@jaysphilosophy1951]

History remembers the Victors......

[@ivandate9972]

We are addicted to think that they love to be inside our leadership. To think that they will take it as natural.. because it makes us the genius.

[@pinchebruha405]

A must reads from Jarrod Diamond, ‘The Collapse of Civilizations’ and ‘Guns, Germs & Steel’ written way before this, Victors words seems grounded on Jarrods premise!

[@charlesmackey8179]

Enjoyable interview but scary.

[@Kaiser_Johan]

Very interesting, would love to hear more in-depth on each of these subjects

[@jakubjodlowski8416]

Saddest episode to date... 😔
