Hoover Institution

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution. His new book is The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America. As is typical whenever Dr. Hanson joins us, this interview covers a wide spectrum of topics and references, including the Acts of the Apostles, immigration, Jim Crow laws, primary tribal identities, the suburban everyman, the shrinking middle class, and JFK’s “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech. It’s a bracing conversation with a scholar who has an incredible breadth of interests and knowledge.

Aways a pleasure to listen to these two gentlemen...

Hoover institute and a nice cup of coffee. This is going to be a good day

The Hoover Institution seems to be the last bastion of intelligence and integrity in the USA.

The world needs as much VDH and Sowell as it can get right now. Thank you Hoover Institution!
