This week, football, firings (real and alleged), and free trade. First up, the great Victor Davis Hanson, who's National Review cover story is a balanced look at the pluses and minuses of Trump's first year. After that, Philadelphia Eagles fan John Yoo (OK, he's a law professor too) takes us through all the machinations, schemes, and strategies in the seemingly never-ending Mueller investigation. Take notes, this part of the podcast will be on the final exam.

Music from this week's episode: You Gotta Be A Football Hero by Ben Bernie & All The Lads

Hosted by James Lileks and Peter Robinson, with guests JYJohn Yoo and VDVictor Davis Hanson

    I have a real problem with Victor Davis Hanson. He isn't as bad as some Trump defenders. This is the first time I ever heard him admit that Donald Trump has flaws. But then he says it doesn't matter. And if he you want to argue with him, and you don't want to rude, you can't. Because he just keep talking, and talking. And, with his ponderous delivery, when you do think he's through, he will say he is not, and just keep on talking, as if he is owed an unlimited amount of time.

    And a lot of people have a problem with John Derbyshire. He got canned from NR. But then you probably hate NR too!

    Hanson is one of my favorite pundits of all time, but how he and Peter could contemplate supporting Trump's renomination is something I'll never comprehend.

    Evening George,

    Here is an article from March 16, 2016

    mentioning how Trump says stupid and gross things all the time. Since then I have read probably over 20 VDH articles where he mentions the Sampson, pull off the scab, bull, crude, coarse Trump. He has mentioned these characteristics in the Classicist Podcasts often as well. I think you are mistaken.
