Love these one on ones with Victor
Victor, Thank you as always. Great insightful interview with Barry Strauss regarding his new book on the Roman Empire and Israel. So much great information may just need to listen a second time. Certainly going to purchase his book. The back and forth with a long time friend and fellow colleague was fantastic. Looking forward to more conversations like this one in the future Victor.

Annoying California politicians
Why is there always another more annoying Democrat on the horizon that won’t stop talking???Now Newsom is constantly talking and I can’t stand him listening to him. He’s so fixated on Trump it’s embarrassing

Best show….but
VDH and his two hosts are the best. Cool, calm and reasoned. But.. please shorten the time from taping to airing, it’s too long. Next day airing would be awesome. Thank you.

Never Miss a Show
I’ve been listening to VDH for many years. I always learn something new in every show. There is no one like him. He farms, writes, teaches, speaks classical languages, is an expert in military history (and history in general), is a TV commentator and a perfect gentleman. Best of all, he’s humble and thoughtful. A national treasure who is irreplaceable. Thank you VDH!

Fowler packing Fresno
Victor n Jack as I’ve shared before I spent 40 years in Illinois ag supply and enjoy Victors stories about farming and and California agriculture. Because our corn, soybeans and wheat crops are different but challenges are the same in farming.
I have been enjoying fresh grapes in my lunch and they have been coming from Mexico till last week. I’ve been looking for California crop and these are Samsons from the Fowler Packing Fresno another neighbor to Victor!
These are larger and more sweet than the winter Mexican crops

Enjoyable at times
I enjoy your show when you are solo with a special guest and when you and Sami talk about history. Fowler, on the other hand, never shuts up, constantly interrupts and has a nasal quality to his voice that makes one’s skin crawl.

Great Historian

A new favorite show!
I am always glad to listen to this podcast. His intelligence amazes me, from his knowledge of history to his vocabulary to his understanding of the world.

I Am So Sick Of Your Blanket Description Of All Black People.
First of all I’m an American. I absolutely hate the whole African American description. The condescending and pity in your voice is disappointing, because you should know better. The only people that aren’t so-called white that you respect are Clarence Thomas and Dr. Carson. I don’t have the need for your acceptance, however, your voice is so important that you should do better. I’m completely tired of the “Us, We, Our” when comes to people including me in the plight of “African American “. I’m an American - like you, like all Americans. When will Americans stop playing into the hands of the communist of old?

VDH’s ability to speak precise and plainly is the reason so many people stay to listen to his take on all things. Thank goodness for his light in all f the darkness.

Powell-Trump Building Cost Tour!
A hard-hat Trump tour, I didn’t wanna go!
Advisors saying, “Excessive costs News”, make a show!
“Palace of Versailles” cost comparisons, a low blow!😎
Printing money makes it easy, when remodeling costs aren’t low!
Interest rate advisors, scheduled to meet!
Either way it goes, I’ll be in the heat!
Thankfully, I don’t have long, to be in this seat!
Expressing partisanship, definitely no treat!

Conservative Ghetto - What is Jack smoking?
Jack seems to think the Texas legislature is Conservative, but I suggest looking closer. The Texas GOP is known as the Republican Party of Texas, which has its own problems being true to conservatism. But add in the Associated Republicans of Texas ART, which is not reliably conservative. They reach across the aisle readily to embrace Democrat policy priorities, and even committee chairmanships.

Whose podcast is this?
I realize that Jack and Victor are friends. In fact, that close friendship, the sharing of film stories, and the ability of each to finish the other’s thought makes for an interesting podcast. But Jack, you really trod on Victor’s space today. You talked over him to the degree it was uncomfortable. I listen to the podcast for a primary purpose of hearing what Victor has to say, not you. Today I had to try to discern the very quietly talking Victor over the loudly talking Jack.

Timeless Wisdom
I have followed you for many years, and all 4 of my kids went to Hillsdale on your recommendation. I would like to suggest that instead of referring to an “Educated” class, you instead call them “Credentialed.” Few graduates of higher education are educated to any meaningful degree. My 3 year old grandson, who listens in on his siblings’ home schooling, explained to me that “Mesopotamia” is “the land between two rivers.” I doubt many PhD graduates know that much!

Listen to you nightly! Appreciate the incite of current events blended with the realities of the past. You provide historical context at a time when most have lost perspective. Thanks for keeping up your schedule despite your recent challenges.

It’s not a dossier, it’s a drossier
I love the show, victor!! Philosophy Dawg from UGA with much love. But that document should be referred to as the “drossier” because it’s pure garbage

NucLEE-AR, not Nuk-U-LAR
I love VDH encyclopedic analysis of present and past events. A man that smart should be able to master the pronunciation of Nuclear.

Love Victor’s Takes on Current Issues!
I never miss a single podcast of VDH, he’s the first one I search for everyday!

Eleni & Immigration Angle
On the 7/15 episode, Jack mentioned re-watching the movie, Eleni (based on the book by Nicholas Gage). Do it - and note the scene where Eleni explains to her children why they cannot hurry up and move to America, to be reunited with their father, because they need “an invitation”. It is striking, given the normalization of unfettered migration and open borders. I am a HUGE fan of the podcast and love the stories about Greece…whether it’s classical history or that infamous littering bus driver from Victor’s time there as a grad student.

Simply the best
I never miss Professor Hanson’s podcasts. In fact, I often listen twice, in case I missed something. I love stories of your growing up on the farm, hearing about your parents and grandparents, and what life was like for you as a child. I grew up in SoCal (Palos Verdes) and later, followed my parents to Irvine, where I met my Marine husband at MCAS El Toro. We raised our two sons in Irvine, but we are now among the California escapees you speak about, moving to Arizona where freedom and lower gas prices make the hot temperatures worth it. Love Jack and Sami and the incredible wisdom of VDH.

We love VDH. But I do wish he’d let Sami and Jack finish a comment or question without interrupting.

Long Term Covid Answer!
VDH needs to listen to the recent interview by Megan Kelly of Dr Soon-Shiong!
“Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Chairman of the Los Angeles Times, joins to discuss a breakthrough showing our body's "natural kill cell" can be activated and fighting cancer from within, why this could completely rethink how we treat cancer, how Fauci and Collins mishandled COVID, how the Trump administration figures like RFK, Makary, and Bhattacharya can fix the mistakes, and more.”

I wish I could give him a 10
The more I hear Victor the more I am convinced that he is a national treasure. He gives me so much information to refute the lies that my family totally believe. Thank goodness I would never be able to have any sanity without him. Love you too Sammy.

The legal visa procurement and expenses
I am a fan of VDH and listen every day. I was born in Oxnard and moved to Arkansas but back to San Diego when I was 20 I had a shell gas station at 21 years old and made great money because of the embargo in 73. I purchased 200 shares of Tesla in 2013 and enjoyed all of the splits. Now I’m 76 and I am trying to get my fiancée from the Philippines. I would love for VDH to do a segment on the cost and time required to get someone here legally. I think that amnesty should include a large amount of money and other restrictions. I’m back in Arkansas where I raised 4 daughters

Victor and Movie Reviews
I absolutely love listening to Victor! The podcasts are informative and entertaining. The wisdom and insights are beneficial to all. Besides his podcast & web site we can find Victor on daily signal, Meghan Kelly and many other places. We have numerous daily podcasts by others with news updates.
Some enjoyable highlights from Victors podcasts are when he veers off topic to talk movies or stories of family, farming and growing up.
I think many besides myself would enjoyable something like one day a month having an off topic podcast. Victor could review & discuss war movies on one show, westerns on another, followed by family stories; or even questions submitted by the audience.
Please take a poll and give this idea some thought!

Time Wasting Experience
Disappointed
Really wanted a good, reasonable right wing podcast to listen to. This ain’t it. Try Jonah Goldberg or Glenn Loury. Definitely don’t use this to try and convince left wing friends

movie victor should watch
Victor, you and Jack talked about great movies of the past, especially Westerns. Have you seen the 2015 film Forsaken? Director John Cassar with Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland and Demi Moore? Really fine movie in the tradition of Shane. I think you’d love it.

Enjoyed Jack’s anecdote
I usually tune out Jack’s voice due to the ads but I enjoyed the brief succinct story about his connections to the Waterfront movie. Keep them short and humorous. Thank you Jack!

Nobody like VDH
I love it when Mr. Hanson weaves in farming analogies!

I’ve waited years for this….
Mr. Hanson, Over the years, I’ve occasionally heard you speak and have really liked your thoughtful opinions and their genuine delivery. About a week ago, I became aware of your regular podcast. What a treasure! I wish I had found it sooner.
From 1984 to 2021, I was a daily listener to Rush Limbaugh. His departure left a hole that your show has now more than filled. I mostly agreed with Rush’s opinions although I less often agreed with how he arrived at them. In contrast, I most always agree with your opinions, AND I agree with how you arrive at them. As an added bonus, I learn things from your show with every episode. Have you ever considered an AM talk radio format?

Terrible Production Values
I really like VDH and own several of his books. But for crying out loud, the sound quality on this podcast is abysmal. Constant popping and clicking and clipping; it’s really annoying. Fix it and I will subscribe again.

So much great information/knowledge
I’m 74 years old, a retired RN and I only wish I had known about VDH many, many years ago. Thank you so much for helping me and I’m sure millions of others understand our history as well as present. I listen everyday if possible. Keep up the great work!

Renaissance Man
Victor is the true renaissance man. Farmer, Historian, Linguist, he covers all the bases. I really enjoy his podcasts. Really down to earth.
I take this opportunity to wish Victor a speedy recovery from his surgery. I look forward to the wisdom he brings us on daily events.
God speed Victor.

Commercials yuck
Love, love, love the podcast. But there is something off about having the co-host selling your ad space. Maybe switch it up. Have Jack do Sami's ads and vice versa.

Victor Davis Hanson
Really appreciated your interview with David Mamet. I immediately purchased his new book, and his first chapter was a brilliant explanation of the past four years. I look forward to reading the rest.
