I sat down with Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and author of the “The Counterrevolution”. Victor is a Stanford Ph.D. who still lives on his family’s Central Valley farm that five generations of Hansons have called home, giving him a rare view of both the academic elite and the working Americans they look down on.
We get into:
Trump’s counterrevolution against 50 years of progressive rule
Why America still dominates the world economy
The 2016 dinner where Peter Thiel predicted Trump’s win
Why the fall of Iran’s regime could be another Berlin Wall moment
How the DSA took over the Democratic Party
The battle between the credentialed class and middle America
