'Victor Davis Hanson: I Think We Have a BIG PROBLEM Here...'

Special thanks to Victor Davis Hanson

Is anyone really running the country? Victor Davis Hanson delves into this question, exploring the eerie similarities between the current state of the United States and historical examples of decline.

The conversation then shifts to the U.S.’s cultural arrogance and misplaced belief that other nations aspire to its values. Hanson warns that many countries view American generosity as a weakness to be exploited rather than a virtue to be reciprocated. This cultural misunderstanding contributes to a growing disconnect between the U.S. and other nations.

Hanson compares the current U.S. situation to historical examples, such as the fall of Constantinople and the decline of the Byzantine Empire. He notes that as America weakens, it increasingly relies on alliances and coalitions, indicating a loss of preeminence. Hanson argues that the U.S. should assert its power independently, emphasizing its superior military, economy, and technology.

He reflects on the traditional federalist system, which allowed states to experiment with different policies and provided a safety valve for the nation. However, he warns that the current trend of self-segregation and the formation of two distinct cultures is reminiscent of the pre-Civil War era. Hanson highlights the stark differences between red and blue states, noting that red states are now attracting talent and capital, much like the industrial North in the 1850s.

Hanson expresses concern over the potential for further division, suggesting that without a unifying administration, the U.S. could face a dangerous future. He foresees a scenario where there are two separate medias, a declining military enlistment, and the implosion of major cities like Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.

In conclusion, Hanson calls for a unifying leadership to bridge the growing divide and prevent the U.S. from descending into a fragmented and unsustainable state.

I absolutely believe what has happened over the last 4 years has been intentional

[paulginsberg]

Victor gives a lucid and calm analysis of where we are as a society. It ain't good.

[richardprice]

I agree with Victor in his analysis. If Harris is elected this country will in fact come apart into at least 2 seperate counties with the " blue states> being impovrashed and turning into a nightmare for their citizens.

[motodad]

Obama and Soros...get rid of Soros and we get our country back!!

[guyconnell]

"....like the nihilism was Oh, make no mistake, the nihilism and unrest is/was intentional. Obama said he wanted to "fundamentally transform" the country.

[daavvyy]

Same thing happening here in Canada to a lesser degree. It's frightening.
North America is really 1 nation . The invaders are multiplying fast and there is definitely a plan to over-throw the right .
May God have mercy on humanity 🙏

[beornthebear.]

We need to get out of NATO and rebuild.

[joseph-sjdo]

It is. Not the Biden' Presidency but the O'Biden

[gphilipc]

The US started "Eating it's young" in the 1970's with the Vietnam Conflict.

[missnolagal]

He's a wise man. I wish more people would listen to him

[DemocratsRPedos]

I’d say turn the lights off when the last person leaves the room. But our government is about to turn them off for us.

Barry moved up the street to Georgetown after his 2nd term ended. Usually the former president goes back to his home state. Not barry……

[andersenjudith]

Victor Davis Hanson is a brilliant political historian. I have been following his podcasts and interviews on other social medias. He is well spoken and easy to follow and understand. I am learning a lot about our current situation and the history that outlines why our country is heading down the path of self destruction. I wish I had paid attention more to history in school….Thank you for all the knowledge you share.

[eyjoczo]

Thank you Victor, you are truthful and educating all that listen to what you have to say.God bless you Sir.

[iguanaamphibioustruck]

Thank you Victor for giving a lesson that should been taught repeatedly in our school system and our kids need to be proficient in describing it in essay questions. No true or false or multiple choice. Or even open book. Three times I have helped my granddaughters with the history and background of the coastal indians but nothing on our American History.
Today, 15 years later they do not understand the difference between the House and Senate or Conservative and Liberal for that matter.
Iguana Dave Ps. GET SMART, GET TRUMP. He has given his life and God gave it back to him.

[lindapreston]

We’re already in a very dangerous position, they have cast God out, that leaves us in the most unrepairable, devastating situation under heaven!!! No problem on earth can compare.

[oneofthem]

Thank you Mr. Hanson. You are spot on.

[pauladams]

Excellent thinker and speaker with historical content that makes sense.

[qyyfrnu]

Victor Davis Hanson is such a wise man. He is calm & measured & makes sense! He is so right, if America continues on the path it’s on, America will be no more! We must change the direction we are headed & do it post haste!

[diaperjoeisaped]

I am not as concerned about a unified leader, I want a strong leader that gives a dam about America First!🇺🇲
