Staving Off Annihilation with VDH

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

Victor Davis Hanson is back! He joins Rob and Steve Hayward to discuss his latest must-read, The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation. Aside from the cheery discussion on civilization obliteration, the trio finds their way into digressions spanning the cameos of great men in the Old Testament to the spectacular blunders of the modern era. Is there any hope to be found in this eleventh hour? Tune in to find out.

- Audio from this week's podcast: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says clips of a deteriorating Joe Biden are “cheap fake videos.”

    Forcing the Republicans to raise taxes.

    Then the Republicans are forced to redistribute it.

    If we didn't have inflation, this wouldn't happen. There is too much of it, and they don't even measure it, right.

    Great episode. I am more in Rob's camp when it comes to Trump, but I can also see the incalculable damage the left is doing. It's foolish to deny it. Victor Davis Hanson, like Steve Hayward, is smart AND wise, a rare combination in academia these days. I would also recommend the two-part interview Peter Robinson did with VDH on Uncommon Knowledge a few weeks ago.

  • Wolfsheim@Wolfsheim

    It is rare that I miss an episode with Victor Davis Hanson, and I was most pleased to see that he would be the Ricochet guest. The questions were topnotch, as were the responses. Rob Long; Enjoy your well-earned cigar, and blessings for your theological studies!
