The Year 1940, War, and California Legislature or Asylum

Join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc for this weekend’s episode in which Victor explains the strategy of the German and Japanese armies as they waxed in WWII and then takes up some current news: Kristi Noem’s testimony, Venezuela in the illegal immigration game, Antifa again at University of Washington, and the NY Times raises its ugly head once more.

    Your description of the insane asylum escapees was hilarious. ( Even though it in reality it’s not so funny). I appreciate your wit and honesty. Thank you

    Hey Ms. Sami,

    Pray tell us more about the kinds of Italian engineering that women prefer! 🙂

    Dr. Hanson…
    Topic: sinusitis

    Several years ago a Family Physician sent a letter to the editor of the AAFP journal reviewing his experience with sinusitis.
    He had before and after CT scans of his sinuses in the letter…demonstrating the efficacy of the following measure.

    He changed the position he assumed as he administered his nasal steroid spray…
    He knelt on his bed, then bent at the waist placing his head in front of his knees..

    This measure, he postulated, led to resolution of his sinusitis.

    Hope if not redundant is helpful.

    Thanks for all you do

    Hey, Victor, you said that Biden is the worst president in your lifetime, but I must respectfully disagree. I believe we must go back much further than that to find a president that would deliberately undermine the security of this country as he has done. Perhaps he is first in this category.

    Just as he has replaced Jimmy Carter as being the worst president, serious congressional investigations may well show that he deserves to replace Benedict Arnold as being our most notorious traitor.

  6. Thx for another excellent summary of some of our issues. The calm, quiet voice is actually healing in all the storms reported by the fake news. It is very concerning how Biden and his Admin could open the borders so wide and get away with it. Whether they did it for votes or simply did not know what they were doing, perhaps deliberately taking down the girders that hold a nation up, is difficult to guess. But it is the reality we live. Now we’ve seen some local politicians trying to battle and stop ICE Agents from performing their duty. Again, it’s difficult to know why or how the pawns of Soros get to be such low information citizens. One might suppose it’s just another indication of the decline from the status we once enjoyed.

    Prof. Hanson,

    I know of two colleges in North Carolina that are doing most of the things you listed in your nine points of what Universities should do. They don’t guarantee student loans themselves, because they don’t have large endowments, but they do work very hard in counseling potential and incoming students in ways they can avoid leaving college in debt. They are Lenoir-Rhyne University (https://www.lr.edu) in Hickory, NC, which is affiliated with the Lutheran (ELCA) church, and Belmont Abbey College (https://belmontabbeycollege.edu) in Belmont, NC, a Catholic college run by the Benedictines. Belmont Abbey makes it an explicit goal to have its students graduate with as little debt as possible. I was a student at neither, but I have hired students from both, and their competence, intellectual ability, and grounding in common sense. Have impressed me.

    I’m sure there are many such great small colleges and universities in the United States. I encourage you to learn more about these two. They are really outstanding.

    I love your show.
