When I look at the panic and fears tormenting especially beginners in Investment world and stock market, I can say to you that risk taking is not for softhearted and volatility of market will make you doubt your investments and can I also give you a good news! yes Invest now that there is crisis in the economic world and build a healthy portfolio for retirement and increase your wealth by taking advantage of the situation of elasticity of the market forces and reliably Cryptocurrencies, stocks, Etfs, real estate gainers are winners of struggling market and I will like to shock you with this positive word that nobody wins without experienced Advisor, manager who know how to manage risk and envisage gains.

Wow, wow, wow. I don’t know that I’ve ever used that word three times in a row, but I’m grateful to listen to a man who is articulate and logical. He never looked at a note yet spoke eloquently. Thank you. God bless.

Hard to watch now almost five years later, knowing all that was ahead. Mr. Hanson still has a handle on our present and possible future. Always worth listening to anything he has to say.

Victor Davis Hanson is a national treasure. A dying breed. I feel deep humility listening to him speak effectively and effortlessly on a broad range of subjects. He would give an AI a run for its money.

We are so lucky to have victor Hansen on our side ,, he is such a smart , elegant speaker ,,thank you victor
-
It blows my mind how articulate Victor is.
-
Victor is just one brilliant person associated with this great college. I pray that it makes a huge difference in its education of others.

Hanson is one of my very favorite speakers. Even though I studied WWII (through the lens of the Atlantic conflict) for six years, I never fail to get new insights from this amazing scholar. His Trump analysis is spot-on as well - it's like there is nothing he can't deconstruct successfully!
-
I wish I had a prof like Hanson; I went to a a school that was very left. If Hanson is still teaching; I will send my kids to Hillsdale
-
VDH is a gift to us all and proof of what's possible in a human being. A real national treasure. Thank you sir.
-
Thank you Hillsidale College, for having an American treasure, thats who Victor Davis Hanson is to me and some of my tribe.

I like Hanson because he doesn't  shove an agenda down your throat. He simply presents his arguments and lets you decide what to take away from it. A staunch liberal may very well reject most of what he says, but if you're willing to listen with an open mind you can learn something worthwhile. Refreshing to say the least.

I didn't vote for Trump in '16, because I didn't believe I could trust him to follow through on his promises. I've never been happier to be proven wrong in my entire life. He has more than earned my vote in the next election, & I will consider it an honor to pull the lever for President Trump 2020!

This fellow does not get emotional, he just explains it like things are. He reminds me of Fred Thompson, who we lost too soon. I'm now retired, but I've visited Hilsdale College in person. It's a campus you must see. I did not meet Larry, but I did meet the Student Union director. It's an amazing campus.

We are so blessed to have you VDH, truly we are not worried of having someone like yourself for our politicians, but I’ll take every bit of your wisdom you have to offer anyway I can get it. We’re all better for it. God bless y’all!

This man is awesome! I sense this deep peace in him....and he is so smart

Donald Trump has been so involved with his own employees. All restaurants he does business with. Don't throw their food in the trash not used. He fed his employee's with that food.. & chiefs cooking it for his employees, to order. He paid them fairly, no one went without advancements in business, & earnings depending on their work ethics, and not making mistakes, & providing the best experience for all customers, & staff. He had medical staff on board just incase needed at work, he made changes for those who's health required a lil change. Nothing crazy. He went around and addressed different employees within departments. And wanted to hear from them about anything that could be better for all involved. If you didn't work for him, or were a family member, you'd be clueless as to what sort of man he is. He is real, authentic, honest within the context of the topic. Never ever fake or affraid of a challenge. Loved them. Made his employees all love to conquer them. ONE OF A KIND.

Just a humble farmer with a very expansive mind and an amazing way of explaining the complex. What a joy it must be to participate in his classes!

I am from the central valley and have driven through Selma. And I consider Victor a friend of mine, even though he doesn't know me.
