In this weekend episode, Victor Davis Hanson, with cohost Sami Winc, takes a look at the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, a wonder of the ancient world. They also discuss the strangeness of Leftist violence and the damage it has done to Germany and England.
Dr Hanson:
First, best wishes for a speedy recovery from your recent surgery. As we age our bodies just don’t heal as quickly as when we were young. I speak from experience. I’m nearing 84.
Second, I am a very big fan of your work and envious of your knowledge. I would like nothing better than to share a meal with you.
Finally, I’ve often thought about a subject that would benefit from your vast knowledge and perspective. Mentally I call it War, Weapons, Strategy & Warriors. Basically, bringing it all together as wars have evolved through the centuries with changes and the evolution of weapons, and the tactics for using them, and which warriors most usefully utilized the previously available weapons and past tactics; or caused the development of new ones.

I tried to find the video version of the podcast on rumble (I think that’s what Jack said). I couldn’t find it. Can you give more info on how to view the video-graphed podcast?
Thank you. I’m a devoted listener but would love to see what you all look like! Just being nosy 🤭 Katy Marconi
Dear Professor Hanson,
I was first introduced to you watching the Gingrich biography of President Washington and am now a diehard reader and listener to your podcasts. I recently received the autographed edition of “The Case for Trump.”
I often forward your writings to friends and cut and paste excerpts within the text as teasers for the new readers. I’m writing to make a request. Could you publish transcripts of your podcasts? It would be helpful to grab text excerpts of these broadcasts rather than reference comments by the timestamp.
Wishing you continued strength and success. Regards to Jack and Sami.
Sincerely,
John Sangmeister
Yes, white supremacists are a bogeyman that progressives hype to frighten liberals into supporting their foolish and childish ideas.
Dr. Hanson’s reference to the Biden administration claims about the danger of white supremacy reminded me of Fox program earlier today in which the rotating leftie said that statistics DO show how whites kill and assault POC. One of the conservatives looked at her and said, “You’re talking about Aryan groups in prisons!” Leftie said (words to the effect) “Yes, so what?”
I’m reasonably certain that, even taking these into account, the numbers are still low.
