The American Pandemic
Victor and Jack analyze the things plaguing our culture and politics: COVID policy and regulations, extralegal powers of government agencies like the Department of Defense, and “Super Bowl” culture.
The Woke Wrecking Machine
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Almost everything that has followed from the woke mass hysteria gripping the nation since 2020 has proved disastrous. Wokeism destroys meritocracy in favor of forced equality of result—history’s prescription for civilizational decline. If we continue with the woke hiring of administrators, air traffic controllers, ground crews, pilots, and rail workers, […]
VDH UltraRacial Trickle-downs. Part Two
Víctor Davis Hanson As an academic, I remember the “Words Matter” controversies of the 1990s when euphemisms soon became Orwellian speech and ushered in the age of microaggressions and safe spaces, as “African American” became “black” that in turn became “Black.” Words, then, we were told affect realities. And they do. Certainly, the stereotypes of […]
Men of Faith and Family and Our Hallowed Institutions
Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler discuss Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy, destroying meritocracy in our institutions, and how Ron DeSantis should shape his campaign agenda.
VDH UltraRacial Trickle-downs. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson A February 3rd huge train derailment recently sent fire balls high into the sky over small East Palestine, Ohio (ca. 5,000 population), in the heartland of the rustbelt of post-industrial America. I guess the current administration would call this small-town clinger/deplorable/chums/dregs country, to paraphrase the past usage of Obama, Hillary, and Biden. […]
Refighting the Vietnam War
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Military historian and Hillsdale College professor Mark Moyar has just published Triumph Regained: The Vietnam War, 1965-1968, which is the second in what will become a massive three-volume revision of the entire Vietnam War. It is a book that should be widely read, much discussed, and reviewed in depth regardless of one’s […]

VDH UltraOur Neronian Super Bowl. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson The game itself was well-played and exciting. But the entire spectacle is heading into a strange and ultimately suicidal territory. Before the National Anthem, there was sung and observed the “Black” national anthem of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” It is a wonderful song, but no substitution for our common, shared National […]
Artificial Intelligence and Human Error
In this episode, Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler talk about artificial intelligence, Don Lemon’s remarks about Nikki Haley not being “in her prime”, lying James Clapper still lying, and how the American Graffiti generation was bad but not shoot, kill, smash-and-grab.
The Ukraine War’s Prelude to What?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Ukraine mess is daily looking more like the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939, a meat grinder that took 500,000 lives. That three-year conflict became a savage proxy war and prelude for the belligerents of World War II. The Ukraine battlefield is proving a similar laboratory of death. […]
VDH UltraOur Neronian Super Bowl. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson I consider myself an alien from outer space, as far as a lack of knowledge of the supposedly premier Super Bowl halftime entertainers. I usually skip the game and especially the half-time show. This year for some reason I didn’t. I have no real idea who “Rihanna” (Robyn Rihanna Fent) is, other […]
Planes, Trains, and the Abortion Bandwagon
Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Jack Fowler for some fiery discussion of the Biden-Emmitt Till nexus with East Palestine and airline accidents, federal abortion funding when a depleted military lacks funding, and the tyranny of the local EPA water agent as evidence of impotent government.
VDH UltraAmerican Graffities. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson The worst crime I witnessed was not necessarily a crime but was surely amoral. One of the best mechanics in the class (his father was a master mechanic as well) had dropped a Chevy 454 into his 1955 four-speed and had what was considered the fastest car among many. One night he […]
The Toxic Racialist Obsessions of Joe Biden
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden ran on “unity,” which is critical in a multiracial America. He vowed to heal the divisions supposedly sown by Donald Trump. Instead, he is proving to be the most polarizing president in modern memory. Often his racialist rhetoric and condescension have proven demeaning to both blacks and whites. […]

VDH UltraAmerican Graffities. Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson The second occasion of witnessing a crime was more disturbing. A poor guy pulled into a 99 station about 1AM with transmission trouble. He asked if he could park the car there for a few hours, while he hitchhiked to Fresno to get a ride. Odd request? The locals assented because he […]
Cage Fight with Bruce Thornton
