Following Super Tuesday’s results, with the US presidential election still the better part of eight months away, a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is all but certain. Victor Davis Hanson, the Hoover Institution’s Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow and author of the soon-to-be-released book The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation, joins Hoover senior fellows John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster to discuss where Biden and Trump stand on “shrinkflation” and the US economy, America’s involvement in overseas conflicts, plus the likelihood of Democrats replacing a struggling Biden at their August national convention and Trump running a disciplined campaign despite his legal travails.

ABOUT THE SERIES

GoodFellows, a Hoover Institution broadcast, features senior fellows John Cochrane, Niall Ferguson, and H.R. McMaster discussing the social, economic, and geostrategic ramifications of this changed world. They can’t banter over lunch these days, but they continue their spirited conversation online about what comes next, as we look forward to an end to the crisis.

    I'll Always give a Thumbs Up for Any Podcast that has Victor David Hanson speaking 👍
  • Outstanding. !!! A civilized discussion....... taking a look at the facts. Disagreements without the vomiting of emotions and hysteria. Hallelujah Jesus!!! 😇 Maybe there is hope for our country. First time visiting the Hoover Institution. Love Victor Davis Hanson....watch him on various on-line videos and podcasts. Have his book "The Dying Citizen." Gave copies to a couple of co-workers also. Going to get the next one. Looking forward to it.

    When I saw that Hanson and McMaster were on and that they were going to include Ukraine as an issue, I knew immediately that sparks were going to fly - and I wasn't disappointed! A Neocon Vs a Magacon! It was still cordial (after all, their paychecks are written by the same institution). Since their offices are next to each other at the Hoover Institution, I can only imagine how their conversations go (about Ukraine) in private!
  • @zakuworks000
    A fantastic dialogue. H.R. isn’t wrong about the global community hedging, and Hanson is right about Americans being sick of endless war and deflection from domestic issues. The American taxpayer is sick and tired of being squeezed both ways.
  • every word from Victor Davis Hanson's lips are rubys and pearls to me.......I am impressed!
  • @g-uy9me
    Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure!
  • What a great history lesson. I used to think history was boring. Must of been my teachers, huh.
  • @user-og9gx6vj8z
    I have loved Mr. Hanson for years! Classics and History are my bread and butter. Also really like the Brando intro. "I could've been somebody!"😂👏
  • I love you VDH may God continue to fill your head with His Wisdom
  • @mikes.4136
    The quality of this conversation is leagues above anything I’ve watched/heard/read, in years. Victor Davis Hanson is brilliant and he’s in good company at the Hoover Institution. Bravo!

    I don't think Trump will give the Ukane more aid. I also find China more of a threat than Russia.
  • @martinisreb9502
    Professor Hanson is one of the greatest minds of his generation. I greatly enjoy his well informed commentary here and look forward to listening to his podcasts. Keep up the great work!
  • Excellent work. But, "people are not dumb"? It's time we address the elephant. Our public schools are performing as designed.
  • @Dreadnought16
    Great debate…you will not find this quality of discussion anywhere on the internet. Thank you.
  • Thank-you Victor you have so much common sence and I follow your opinions and will by your new book---again thank-you guys.
  • @jpsmith9452
    Without a doubt, this is my favorite show, regardless of the media. I always learn something worth learning.
  • @RN-lo6xc
    Very nice to see friendly debate between Victor and H.R. I can see they are on different sides of the issue, but both sides put their case forward very well - lots of food for thought. Hoover and GoodFellows should have more guests over who disagree for quality debate like this.
  • @edfederoff2679
    "...feign sober and judicious conduct..." LOL!!!! Great One, Dr. Hanson! 45 will definitely smile when he hears that...

    We should’ve voted for Ross Perot over 20 years ago. People should quit voting for career politicians. These are the people that are the problem. They are out of touch.
