With a little over three weeks to go before the election, we thought it would a good time to have a heart to heart discussion with our good friend Victor Davis Hanson. the Classics professor, the military historian, the farmer, the cultural observer, and the author of The Case For Trump, his best selling book that came out in 2017 and was re-issued earlier this year. It's the most cogent case we've seen for the re-election of the President. In this one on one conversation, Peter Robinson takes Victor through all the reasons to cast a vote for Donald Trump and challenges Victor with a few reasons not to pull the lever for him. It's an enlightening and informative hour and should be required listening (if we do say so ourselves) for all voters, especially those who are still undecided. Have at it.

Who are these undecided people?
I have a friend who says he is 'undecided'. He likes Trump's policies but hates Trump the person.
Former naval intelligence officer

One might first remind your friend that if he doesn't think Creepy Joe is even more loathsome than anyone could think about Trump, he hasn't been paying attention.
Then maybe move on to, if you're having surgery, do you want a friendly quack, or a loathsome genius?
And so on.
(The arguments need not be extreme either. Maybe the loathsome guy isn't a total genius, but at least he went to a good medical school. While the friendly guy graduated from... I dunno, Fidel Castro U?)

If people think that "the badness will stop" if they vote for Biden, we may be truly doomed.

I'm a little surprised, but pleased, that Peter apparently never felt the need to re-introduce himself to Victor during the course of this. He seems to do it at least once during every other Ricochet Podcast, despite how distinctive his voice is, sometimes using both his first and last name.

Ditto for three female friends of mine. One is further right-leaning than the others and we chat about Douglas Murray and can talk about everything together, but none can really take the idea of voting for Trump. I can't get into it with them- it's a dead end and not worth it for the friendship. The first friend I mentioned is warmer but is thinking of voting for the 3rd party candidate- she would actually listen to this podcast if I sent it to her.
