@@alexmuenster2102Victor seems to believe the listener understands what he’s talking about, and too many extraneous details slows down the conversation. For the most part that’s true.
Yes the youngster is surprisingly educated and well-informed, and he doesn’t try to dominate or control the interview like ALL mainstream media journalists now do.
What an excellent interview. So many facets which relate to the UK almost as much as USA. Thank goodness for two intelligent individuals who give us listeners much to ponder on.
My executive ordered commissions would make America prosperous again, so why wouldn’t Don Trumps, at least he wants you to be able to spend your money that you earned on things you want or would like to do. Big difference from the socialist global conformism that control the dems, they aren’t a actually smart, they are just rich, That’s a fact when you consider the depth of real knowledge and understand that even the best have limits.
He is so knowledgeable about how the world works and the governments. What is great is he lays it out for us on how it a fits together and then gives his opinion of where he thinks it will go. I wish Trump and the others would sit down and have a talk because he has great ideas the world help our country. He know a great deal on the military. We have lost 85 thousands great soldiers just because the refused the vaccine. So now we have all these people that are more interested in the transgender and correct pronouns and who is a woman. The focus isn't on protecting the country. Many that should be spent on building equipment not surgeries to change genders. All that is private choices. It's all crazy.
If you like Victor, watch a couple of videos by Peter Zeihan. He offers the same type of analysis on current geopolitical topics. Sadly, he's a Democrat who doesn't like Trump, but he's objective and fact driven.
And it's crazy to think that sometime in November millions of people are going to get up and vote for those very same people that are dismantling this great country.

I grew up and attended elementary and high school in Arizona in the 1950s and '60s. In high school, World History and World Geography were ninth grade and tenth grade courses, U.S. History was an eleventh grade required course, and U.S. Government was a twelfth grade required course. The latter two courses were "Must Pass" to graduate. When I began my teaching career in Colorado these were the same required courses for graduating high school as in Arizona. However, in school year 1999-2000, I taught summer school courses of these same two required courses in Colorado to students who had not passed these courses and had to make them up in order to graduate high school. This was the last graduating class that had these requirements in Colorado. That was twenty-five years ago. I believe that was the beginning of the end of Colorado kids learning anything in public school that might be considered patriotic or historically meaningful for kids who would be citizens of America as they entered young adulthood.
@@Old_Patriot when i was 14 in the 9th grade 48 years ago at public school we took 'Civic's class' the textbook had an AMERICAN flag and a wooden judge's gavel on the cover and was titled American Civics...but the class was the first one after lunch for our class and Mrs. Sanders always fell asleep...she had our assignment on the board and we did our homework and passed the scheduled tests she gave and we were respectfully quiet We all loved her like our own grandmother and only giggled when she Snooooored We guessed her age at about 90 plus...

He has videos on his Hillsdale ,Berkley, and Stanford University. Dr. Hanson has a farm background and is a true scholar as Sr. Fellow and more awards than rooms with walls. This guy has worldly common sense.
Patriotism starts from two sources: family and school. Unless the school program starts to include and mandate proper education of history, especially American history, but not limited to it, we will not be able to raise patriotic children who will become patriotic adults. I am an immigrant who immigrated legally together with my immediate family, who worked in this country for over 30 years and who is a real patriot of this great country. My children went to college and have become successful professionals and are very grateful for the opportunity the U.S. provided to us. All of us strongly support LEGAL immigration and strongly OPPOSE illegal ones.
Same here. My 3 young boys are first generation Americans. My family immigrated legally from Laos in 1981. 4 of 7 siblings including myself served in the US military. My sister, and I both served over 20 yrs and retired, 1 brother was medically retired, and the other brother served 14 yrs. We definitely need more patriotism and service to this great nation.
Please thank your family for coming to America legally. I’m in my 60s and I see my age group as very proud to be American for the most part but my daughter witch is 32 after she went to college she came back different at the same time my husband her father (witch came to America in 1964 on a raft with tires holding it up from Cuba. His father was on the chopping block because he was catholic) had passed away and I think it made her very vulnerable. She does not feel about America the way I wish she did. As for you and your situation it seems like the older immigrants I’d say around 1995 they seem VERY patriotic. Especially the ones that have simulated into America. So thank you for standing proud and being a true patriot. It means more to us than you know. Take care Hello from Florida 😄
I agree with you. Parenting skills have truly fell by the wayside. That needs to change for our country to change. Being an educator I’ve observed how things have changed over the years, however. True change does start at home. Parents, who truly want their children to do better than they did is not happening now. We need Trump back in office. I do t necessarily agree with everything he does, but he certainly better than the Harris/Walz campaign.

As a natural born American who served Honorably in the US Army, now at 82 years old I am hurt and saddened by the irrational " crimes" that have been committed. I was Honorably discharged from the US Army in the year 1968 and the same issues seem to be happening again to some extent. Differences to me now is after backsliding for so long I've returned to my childhood, -faith in Christianity. Older now, hopefully w/better understanding of how the real world works Christianity, by personal experience in action, is the only salvation for the United States, its written Constitution and "the Bill of Rights." Without those, all is lost like any other secular nation. Even the United Kingdom, under the bander of Christianity, built a Great Empire without a strong Christian Britian, Britian lost its most precious faith. All the dead hero's honor of Great Britain sadly gone and dishonored, in many cases by ungrateful generation. Now, will have to fight for their "freedoms" on their own ground...
Don't forget that the "greatness" of Britain was built on colonization and sucking out of resources from other countries, and if they tried to revolt they were brutally punished.
And all they need to do to understand what is coming for them is look at what happened to those who helped bring about the revolution in Iran: they became the immediate target once the regime they had supported took power.
It seems we are less than two generation away from losing everything previous generations fought and built for and yet our youth seems ungrateful and worse woefully unprepared for whats in store for them. I am 68 and grateful to have enjoyed this beautiful country before all of the madness we see today. Thank you for your service. Many of us have a deep appreciation for the selflessness of our servicemen and women. Be well.
When Victor asked the question, why are all the people coming here? He posed, is it our free markets, our judiciary, etc? People do this all the time. But, they never bring up what i believe is the truth... that is, free sh1t. They came here for handouts. These aren't people that were working in their home countries. They don't have to work here, either. We have 15 million people that were unemployed or imprisoned in their own countries that are unemployed here! It's not like it's full of skilled people, either. They find that they can live like they were back home or better as far as shelter goes, plus they're being fed & paid along the way. They also know they'll get up to 3 or 4 years in a 5 star hotel plus 3 squares a day, plus food stamps, plus cash assistance plus unlimited opportunities to steal from others. Imagine all that!? And so much more!!!!
Its absolutely about free stuff....todays illegal immigrants could care less about America, they just want all the free crap our miserable politicians can offer them.

I am surprised at the way Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of kingdoms and civilizations seems to have been completely forgotten. The rise of elites, their separation for the common citizens, their desire to replace native populations with immigrants have consistently been a factor in the decline of all civilizations throughout the world and throughout history along with other phenomena that we see at this time. His analysis was incredibly extensive and his conclusions relevant to our present situation. This of course does not take away from VDH's analysis but greatly helps to support his conclusions.
Rome certainly has similarities to present day. Near the end of the Western Roman Empire the 40% of the population the city of Rome was foreign born. Also, the Praetorian guard became 100% non-Roman, mainly Gauls. The reason was that they would have no qualms killing Romans to protect the Emperor. Then we have slaves that also outnumbered citizens in the city of Rome. Elites clutching power and seeing citizens as threats, cheap imported labor to keep society functioning. Rome (the Elites) tried to keep the party going by importing bodies into society and into the army, no different than what we are doing today.
VDH knows. In fact when I find myself ever disagreeing with him on a subject, I reflect and start studying on that subject because vdh knows the context better than anyone because of his grasp on history which is why he must always hit the nail on the head with everything.
Job 1 if Trump wins should be a temporary halt on immigration. Next any non citizen single adult male without a work or student visa needs to go immediately. Then go from there to assimilate other migrants according to the law. Also eliminate any and all government subsidies for any non US citizens. The incentive to come here needs to be based on a real reason like seeking education or employment. Before you can repair water damage you must first shut off the flow and drain the flooding.
No, they just need to go. I don't understand why people want to spend massive amounts of resources and let their own children keep getting abused to assimilate migrants, when they already have a homeland to return to.

My son was in the US Navy when he met and married his Filipina wife. It took 2 years for the State Dept to issue her a Visa. She was a college educated nurse, a productive member of society and the wife of a US military service member and fluent in English. But every time she met w the bureaucrat at the embassy +after paying her $400 +fee), she would speak to them for 3 minutes and be told she was missing this or that, reschedule and come back or be flat out denied for no reason. It was so bad I contacted our Congressman for assistance (my son was deployed by then.) The Congressman's office contacted me to say the State Department had no real explanation other than "they doubted her desire/ real intention to stay in the US." This despite letters from us, her subsequent pregnancy, and evidence she would be a asset to the US, not a parasite. The finally allowed her in. She is now a mom of 4, an R.N. and thriving. She is an awesome wife and mother, and an integral part of our family. Best wishes to you sir on your journey.

VDH is wonderful. Highly enjoyed this discussion and the host understands the true plight we're facing as Americans and Englishmen (broadly speaking). Subscribed about halfway through this episode. Keep it up, don't slow down and never pacify.
Thanks for having this true American on your show. I can’t get enough of Victor. I’ve liked and subscribed I’m sure your show will blow up after this interview if it hasn’t already.
An excellent exchange of ideas. In my opinion, however, the one idea which connects them all and was not mentioned in the interview is Christianity as a requisite framework for western Society.
Christianity is nowhere near a requisite for western society. Western culture begins in Athens, which was hardly christian and progresses through to it's earliest apex in pagan Rome. The western Roman Empire declines and falls when it becomes Christian. The crown jewel of western civilization by far is antebellum America and it's best thinkers such as Jefferson and Franklin were not Christians at all. The cuckery of the west is a direct result of Christian slave morality as Nietzsche so eloquently pointed out and predicted what Christianity leads to... the last man which we see today. The west will only survive if we turn from the effeminate and limp-wristed values peddled by the foreign (to our European people) and bizarre middle eastern Jesus cult and return to a philosophy more vital and masculine such as Greco-Roman stoicism which actually came from the west.
Regarding those that have a sincere concern about raising children presently, there are a number of plausible reasons why. Among these is the presence of too many people already in the country. This is primarily due to 1. immigration, which was resumed in the 1960's after a 50-year halt. It is also due to 2. lax welfare policy, which has encouraged the breakup of the nuclear family while encouraging a greater birthrate, and to 3. the "resettlement" of population from the cities into other areas of the country. This resettlement is a large part of the Green New Deal's war against both American industry and against the ability of people to live independently in areas with low population. The greater the population, the greater the poverty, and the more demand for spending and an engineered economy, both nationally and locally. The greater the population, the less land and opportunities for which you can sustain a family of your own. In addition to this is the far greater cultural conflicts and crime, and far greater expenses in living. Combine these things and it is not hard to understand why there would be fear, instability, less harmonious marriages, and fewer quality families. This is by design, by those who have opposed the freedom and moral fabric of the United States, and have sought to "fundamentally transform" it. For these and other reasons, the United States is under no obligation to allow people from elsewhere to come to its shores. Immigration is a privilege, never a right. The strength of a nation does not primarily lie in its diversity, large population size and inclusiveness. In reality, the things that are truly valuable, strong and solvent are by definition exclusive. Therefore, the desire for the United States to be the "shining city on a hill" is best demonstrated by the work to remove and keep out the vast majority of the world, who would only serve to put out its light. The respect for a nation as 'a shining city on a hill' is not best demonstrated by those wanting to come to the light to reap its benefits, but by those who see the light from afar and want to bear it themselves, bringing hope and peace to their own nation. www.donaldjtrump.com
Brilliant new channel, subscribed and wishing you much success. Thoughtful, prompting questions and the rare interlocutor ability to allow an interviewee to answer broadly without any interruption.
Mr. Victor, I have never seen you so very off on so many instances. EX: Zelensky is a brave, wonderful man(?) He does fit the definition of a corrupt dictator however. Coupled with your assertion that the war in Ukraine was caused by Russia aggression, rather than NATO aggression and threats of making Ukraine a member of NATO. Additionally, the fact that two predominantly Russian speaking and pro-separatists areas, Crimea and Donbas, wanted to be realigned with Russia. Prior to Zelensky, Ukraine was one of the top five corrupt countries in the world. And today, even more corrupt. When this war is over and Ukraine is destroyed, Zelensky and his cronies will be very wealthy at the expense of the US people. What do you know about Ukrainian retirement/pensions being funded with military aid funds -- that should not have been paid from the beginning. This has been an enormous taxpayer contribution to the defense industry and large banks.
I will just add Minsk agreement this was absolutely promised to Gorbitciv (SP) to ensure the safety of the Russian people by Regan. This was key to the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. without this agreement the East European countries would have continued to be funded to main their countries.
VDH always teaches me something new. He doesn't make up history, like the progressives do. Rather, he uses his in debth knowledge of his specialty in history to show what has worked and hasn't worked. That's what we citizens need to understand when we're voting for our current political candidates, as well as living our lives in a way that makes our country better.
Doesn't Harrison Pitt have any awareness of the Lobby, AIPAC, and the Oligarchical donor billionaire class having a stranglehold on the Congress and on the Presidential candidates?

Trump would have won Michigan in 2020 if it weren't for the after midnight vote dump of 120,000 votes -- which in a small town kitchen I watched happen on a computer screen when it happened. I and several thousand others watched it happen in front of us, with no attempt to feather in the new votes the following morning when the counting was to be resumed.
Elon Musk and his friends have pledged $45m a month to the creation of a network of lawyers and private detectives to monitor voting and voting centres.
I watched closely, both when President Trump won in 16 and again in 20 when it seemed he was heading to victory when boxes of votes appeared from under tables behind closed doors..and when the dust settled 81000000 votes the most in history..it's like changing your grades from school, changing a D to an A+.

Hillsdale College has some great courses about Civics and a host of other subjects that can be used to train the immigrants. Likewise, they have some great ideas on how to improve the school and university education systems. More people should do their courses and learn from them. They are giving us the intellectual ammunition to fight back.
I have never seen the TheForge before today. I am always drawn to Victor Davis Hanson no matter where he speaks. The host Harrison Pitt’s insight are clearly well considered and well informed. Thank you for the brilliant dialogue and awareness of the dangers we face. I am a new subscriber as of today.
Oh, I LOVE this vision of the pushback by the West that you have articulated, Victor! It is one of the only, if not THE only glimmer of hope that I have heard, WITHIN the EXISTING political order.
This was a fantastic interview! There is one comment Harrison made that I want to add to. That concerns whether those Americans from a low or working class status are patriotic due to "feelings" and therefore are not interested in learning about our founding people and documents. He states it is similar in the U.K. In the U.S. there are actually many people from the working class or in poverty who are learning about our founding documents. Because there has been a decrease in schools teaching civics or government classes, many people emerge from public and private schools clueless about the history of America. So they undertake to learn themselves about what America is based upon. They often begin with the Constitution, since that is where our rights derive from. So Harrison was a little incorrect about that.
White Europeans built both nations, that's what he's talking about really, some second generation immigrant cannot have the same connection to our lands.
True. At best, he's just an actor playing a role. He had the chance to negotiate a peace with Putin, but pulled out because of pressure from the US. That makes him a puppet. At worse, I have a sneaking suspicion that he's skimming off hundreds of millions from the money flowing in. Within five years, he'll be living in the US and have a $billion stashed away and no one will be able to explain where it came from....and no one will want to find out.
Patriotism is built on investment and sacrifice. The sacrifice of generations of brothers, husbands and fathers on battlefields for the good of the country, the sacrifice of comfort and power, and the investment of a thousand years of taxation and hard graft, generation after generation. And once we realise how much we’ve really invested, we know how much we have to lose.
Very interesting dialogue, I do think Mr Hanson is a very well educated and intelligent man, I do not agree with some things or more accurately his opinion on some things but I do respect his right to his views and with much of what he says he resonates with me. Regards from Australia 🇦🇺
Excellent discussion, Harrison. And thank you for being among a minority of eloquent English-speakers online. You made an interesting point that immigrants don't bond with a new country through the reading of the country's foundational or constitutional documents. I think you put your finger on something significant but unfortunately Dr. Hanson didn't answer your objection satisfactorily and consequently an opportunity was missed to develop that idea. Well, I'm an Englishman in my sixties and I've had some time since listening to this podcast to mull the source of my feeling of Englishness. I believe it is almost exclusively based on popular culture absorbed during childhood and into teenage years. To wit: Beatrix Potter, The Wind in the Willows, Hornblower, Nelson & Trafalgar, Wellington & Waterloo, Monty & Rommel, Mary Poppins, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, Agatha Christie, Syd Barret, Genesis, Sex Pistols, Lawrence of Arabia, Spice Girls, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, etc, etc, etc. There will of course be an equivalent list for America, France, Germany and so on. My German wife would talk about Pumuckl, Pippilangstrumpf and _Die Sendung mit der Maus._ Finding a way to install this sort of furniture in the imaginations of new arrivals is likely to be considerably easier and be wildly more effective than discussing Magna Carta or the Treaty of Union. It would also have the advantage of preparing the ground for an upgrade to William Blake, Vaughan Williams, Shakespeare, Milton, Iris Murdoch, Turner and Banksy!

Love me some VDH but I can’t believe he said, “I think we all support Ukraine“ and then later “Zelenski is a wonderful man“? What a load of Poppycock!! 😂
Agreed. But what date was this interview? Did most of us not originally support Ukraine & believe Zelensky? How many of us , at the beginning, had sufficient reason/information to be skeptical?
@@Mumtaz-ks8cs I never once supported Ukraine or believed Zelensky was anything but a greedy puppet. It's all pretty obvious if you've followed what's happed since 2014 with the overthrow of Ukraine's government by Victoria 'fuck the EU' Nuland and the aggressive policy of the US/NATO against Russia since the 90s. If China or Russia tried to bring Mexico into a military alliance, (and bring in nukes) would the US stand by and do nothing? This is all insanity. You just have to have an instinct for the right news sources to follow.
We have lowered standards and qualifications for every field and occupation so women and blacks can compete with white men if not what is the purpose and intent of affirmative action and DEI
As always Mr Hanson delivers clear and concise arguments against too much liberalism. I don't know anyone who's satisfied with how things are going. My feeling is that people are slowly starting to figure out why things are that bad, and that these social justice/equity slogans are just a facade and the people behind this are the billionaires, corporations, the elite government class as their underlings, etc. The only people you should trust, really, are your community leaders, churches, neighborhood watches, unions, etc. There's an elite cabal that wants to take away our sovereignty with these endless conflicts.
The U.S. needs to support willing subnational administrative entities in developing countries to achieve independence, and assist them with shoring up their borders, customs agencies, legal frameworks, and monetary systems. By expanding the American model of governance and economy to these regions, the U.S. could stem the outflow of banana republic economic refugees, while addressing labor shortages in manufacturing industries without further damaging and disrupting the U.S. itself.
Both sides of my families had a long line of service, including me. My son unfortunately joined before the woke stuff and found out the hard way. And we all agree on one thing now. We'll never let another family member join any longer. China, Russia or Iran is not the threat that our own government is.

What an excellent interview. So many facets which relate to the UK almost as much as USA. Thank goodness for two intelligent individuals who give us listeners much to ponder on.
My executive ordered commissions would make America prosperous again, so why wouldn’t Don Trumps, at least he wants you to be able to spend your money that you earned on things you want or would like to do. Big difference from the socialist global conformism that control the dems, they aren’t a actually smart, they are just rich, That’s a fact when you consider the depth of real knowledge and understand that even the best have limits.
No word salad here… Very articulate and he seems quite conservative!
He is so knowledgeable about how the world works and the governments. What is great is he lays it out for us on how it a fits together and then gives his opinion of where he thinks it will go. I wish Trump and the others would sit down and have a talk because he has great ideas the world help our country. He know a great deal on the military. We have lost 85 thousands great soldiers just because the refused the vaccine. So now we have all these people that are more interested in the transgender and correct pronouns and who is a woman. The focus isn't on protecting the country. Many that should be spent on building equipment not surgeries to change genders. All that is private choices. It's all crazy.
If you like Victor, watch a couple of videos by Peter Zeihan. He offers the same type of analysis on current geopolitical topics. Sadly, he's a Democrat who doesn't like Trump, but he's objective and fact driven.

I grew up and attended elementary and high school in Arizona in the 1950s and '60s. In high school, World History and World Geography were ninth grade and tenth grade courses, U.S. History was an eleventh grade required course, and U.S. Government was a twelfth grade required course. The latter two courses were "Must Pass" to graduate. When I began my teaching career in Colorado these were the same required courses for graduating high school as in Arizona. However, in school year 1999-2000, I taught summer school courses of these same two required courses in Colorado to students who had not passed these courses and had to make them up in order to graduate high school. This was the last graduating class that had these requirements in Colorado. That was twenty-five years ago. I believe that was the beginning of the end of Colorado kids learning anything in public school that might be considered patriotic or historically meaningful for kids who would be citizens of America as they entered young adulthood.

Patriotism starts from two sources: family and school.
Unless the school program starts to include and mandate proper education of history, especially American history, but not limited to it, we will not be able to raise patriotic children who will become patriotic adults.
I am an immigrant who immigrated legally together with my immediate family, who worked in this country for over 30 years and who is a real patriot of this great country.
My children went to college and have become successful professionals and are very grateful for the opportunity the U.S. provided to us.
All of us strongly support LEGAL immigration and strongly OPPOSE illegal ones.
Same here. My 3 young boys are first generation Americans. My family immigrated legally from Laos in 1981. 4 of 7 siblings including myself served in the US military. My sister, and I both served over 20 yrs and retired, 1 brother was medically retired, and the other brother served 14 yrs. We definitely need more patriotism and service to this great nation.
if any immigrants are going to save America, it's the Asians. always has been. The west was won by the Chinese laborers
Please thank your family for coming to America legally. I’m in my 60s and I see my age group as very proud to be American for the most part but my daughter witch is 32 after she went to college she came back different at the same time my husband her father (witch came to America in 1964 on a raft with tires holding it up from Cuba. His father was on the chopping block because he was catholic) had passed away and I think it made her very vulnerable. She does not feel about America the way I wish she did. As for you and your situation it seems like the older immigrants I’d say around 1995 they seem VERY patriotic. Especially the ones that have simulated into America. So thank you for standing proud and being a true patriot. It means more to us than you know. Take care Hello from Florida 😄

Many of these vortices are not of the nuclear war but of the less annihilatory but more lengthy so-called “conventional” war.

_In this ongoing struggle the light of freedom would burn within the mind/body/spirit complexes capable of such polarization. Lacking the opportunity for overt expression of the love of freedom, the seeking for inner knowledge would take root aided by those of the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow which remember their calling upon this sphere._
Questioner: Are you saying then that this possible condition of war would be much more greatly spread across the surface of the globe than anything we have experienced in the past and therefore touch a larger percentage of the population in this form of catalyst?
_Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. There are those now experimenting with one of the major weapons of this scenario, that is the so-called psychotronic group of devices which are being experimentally used to cause such alterations in wind and weather as will result in eventual famine. If this program is not countered and proves experimentally satisfactory, the methods in this scenario would be made public._

As a natural born American who served Honorably in the US Army, now at 82 years old I am hurt and saddened by the irrational " crimes" that have been committed. I was Honorably discharged from the US Army in the year 1968 and the same issues seem to be happening again to some extent. Differences to me now is after backsliding for so long I've returned to my childhood, -faith in Christianity. Older now, hopefully w/better understanding of how the real world works Christianity, by personal experience in action, is the only salvation for the United States, its written Constitution and "the Bill of Rights." Without those, all is lost like any other secular nation. Even the United Kingdom, under the bander of Christianity, built a Great Empire without a strong Christian Britian, Britian lost its most precious faith. All the dead hero's honor of Great Britain sadly gone and dishonored, in many cases by ungrateful generation. Now, will have to fight for their "freedoms" on their own ground...
Don't forget that the "greatness" of Britain was built on colonization and sucking out of resources from other countries, and if they tried to revolt they were brutally punished.
And all they need to do to understand what is coming for them is look at what happened to those who helped bring about the revolution in Iran: they became the immediate target once the regime they had supported took power.
The USA is toast. There is no way back anymore. Neither the UK or the USA is Christian anymore and both regimes are total garbage.
Yes. All that’s needed to save the west is Christianity. The vacuum of meaning is more strong here in Australia, where Christianity is weaker.
It seems we are less than two generation away from losing everything previous generations fought and built for and yet our youth seems ungrateful and worse woefully unprepared for whats in store for them.

They don't have to work here, either. We have 15 million people that were unemployed or imprisoned in their own countries that are unemployed here! It's not like it's full of skilled people, either. They find that they can live like they were back home or better as far as shelter goes, plus they're being fed & paid along the way. They also know they'll get up to 3 or 4 years in a 5 star hotel plus 3 squares a day, plus food stamps, plus cash assistance plus unlimited opportunities to steal from others. Imagine all that!?

I am surprised at the way Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of kingdoms and civilizations seems to have been completely forgotten. The rise of elites, their separation for the common citizens, their desire to replace native populations with immigrants have consistently been a factor in the decline of all civilizations throughout the world and throughout history along with other phenomena that we see at this time. His analysis was incredibly extensive and his conclusions relevant to our present situation. This of course does not take away from VDH's analysis but greatly helps to support his conclusions.
I will check his works out- thank you
Rome certainly has similarities to present day. Near the end of the Western Roman Empire the 40% of the population the city of Rome was foreign born. Also, the Praetorian guard became 100% non-Roman, mainly Gauls. The reason was that they would have no qualms killing Romans to protect the Emperor. Then we have slaves that also outnumbered citizens in the city of Rome. Elites clutching power and seeing citizens as threats, cheap imported labor to keep society functioning. Rome (the Elites) tried to keep the party going by importing bodies into society and into the army, no different than what we are doing today.
VDH knows. In fact when I find myself ever disagreeing with him on a subject, I reflect and start studying on that subject because vdh knows the context better than anyone because of his grasp on history which is why he must always hit the nail on the head with everything.

Job 1 if Trump wins should be a temporary halt on immigration. Next any non citizen single adult male without a work or student visa needs to go immediately. Then go from there to assimilate other migrants according to the law. Also eliminate any and all government subsidies for any non US citizens. The incentive to come here needs to be based on a real reason like seeking education or employment. Before you can repair water damage you must first shut off the flow and drain the flooding.
I agree they should cut off all federal subsidies if the states want to pay it but then pay it but not the feds

No, they just need to go. I don't understand why people want to spend massive amounts of resources and let their own children keep getting abused to assimilate migrants, when they already have a homeland to return to.

My son was in the US Navy when he met and married his Filipina wife. It took 2 years for the State Dept to issue her a Visa. She was a college educated nurse, a productive member of society and the wife of a US military service member and fluent in English. But every time she met w the bureaucrat at the embassy +after paying her $400 +fee), she would speak to them for 3 minutes and be told she was missing this or that, reschedule and come back or be flat out denied for no reason. It was so bad I contacted our Congressman for assistance (my son was deployed by then.) The Congressman's office contacted me to say the State Department had no real explanation other than "they doubted her desire/ real intention to stay in the US." This despite letters from us, her subsequent pregnancy, and evidence she would be a asset to the US, not a parasite. The finally allowed her in. She is now a mom of 4, an R.N. and thriving. She is an awesome wife and mother, and an integral part of our family. Best wishes to you sir on your journey.

An excellent exchange of ideas. In my opinion, however, the one idea which connects them all and was not mentioned in the interview is Christianity as a requisite framework for western Society.
Christianity is nowhere near a requisite for western society. Western culture begins in Athens, which was hardly christian and progresses through to it's earliest apex in pagan Rome. The western Roman Empire declines and falls when it becomes Christian. The crown jewel of western civilization by far is antebellum America and it's best thinkers such as Jefferson and Franklin were not Christians at all. The cuckery of the west is a direct result of Christian slave morality as Nietzsche so eloquently pointed out and predicted what Christianity leads to... the last man which we see today.
The west will only survive if we turn from the effeminate and limp-wristed values peddled by the foreign (to our European people) and bizarre middle eastern Jesus cult and return to a philosophy more vital and masculine such as Greco-Roman stoicism which actually came from the west.
Regarding those that have a sincere concern about raising children presently, there are a number of plausible reasons why. Among these is the presence of too many people already in the country. This is primarily due to 1. immigration, which was resumed in the 1960's after a 50-year halt. It is also due to 2. lax welfare policy, which has encouraged the breakup of the nuclear family while encouraging a greater birthrate, and to 3. the "resettlement" of population from the cities into other areas of the country. This resettlement is a large part of the Green New Deal's war against both American industry and against the ability of people to live independently in areas with low population.
The greater the population, the greater the poverty, and the more demand for spending and an engineered economy, both nationally and locally. The greater the population, the less land and opportunities for which you can sustain a family of your own. In addition to this is the far greater cultural conflicts and crime, and far greater expenses in living. Combine these things and it is not hard to understand why there would be fear, instability, less harmonious marriages, and fewer quality families. This is by design, by those who have opposed the freedom and moral fabric of the United States, and have sought to "fundamentally transform" it. For these and other reasons, the United States is under no obligation to allow people from elsewhere to come to its shores. Immigration is a privilege, never a right.
The strength of a nation does not primarily lie in its diversity, large population size and inclusiveness. In reality, the things that are truly valuable, strong and solvent are by definition exclusive. Therefore, the desire for the United States to be the "shining city on a hill" is best demonstrated by the work to remove and keep out the vast majority of the world, who would only serve to put out its light. The respect for a nation as 'a shining city on a hill' is not best demonstrated by those wanting to come to the light to reap its benefits, but by those who see the light from afar and want to bear it themselves, bringing hope and peace to their own nation.

Excellent summary of the decline of American civilization. Thank you for your comment.
Brilliant new channel, subscribed and wishing you much success. Thoughtful, prompting questions and the rare interlocutor ability to allow an interviewee to answer broadly without any interruption.
These guys are great, we are lucky to have such ppl with moral courage, but I am depressed that things have gone so far into Darkness.
Mr. Victor, I have never seen you so very off on so many instances.
EX: Zelensky is a brave, wonderful man(?) He does fit the definition of a corrupt dictator however.
Coupled with your assertion that the war in Ukraine was caused by Russia aggression, rather than NATO aggression and threats of making Ukraine a member of NATO.
Additionally, the fact that two predominantly Russian speaking and pro-separatists areas, Crimea and Donbas, wanted to be realigned with Russia.
Prior to Zelensky, Ukraine was one of the top five corrupt countries in the world. And today, even more corrupt.
When this war is over and Ukraine is destroyed, Zelensky and his cronies will be very wealthy at the expense of the US people.
What do you know about Ukrainian retirement/pensions being funded with military aid funds -- that should not have been paid from the beginning.
This has been an enormous taxpayer contribution to the defense industry and large banks.
I will just add Minsk agreement this was absolutely promised to Gorbitciv (SP) to ensure the safety of the Russian people by Regan. This was key to the dissolution of the Soviet Empire. without this agreement the East European countries would have continued to be funded to main their countries.
@@angelanddaddy8945 VDH is owned
Yes, and also he got the estimate of Ukr and Rus losses wrong.
@@angelanddaddy8945 VDH is a neocon.
He's a typical squishy conservative, no sign of a backbone to him, and never an original thought.
V.D.H. History Applied! Brilliant, insightful as always! Great dialog! Mr. Pitt, Rocks!
VDH always teaches me something new. He doesn't make up history, like the progressives do. Rather, he uses his in debth knowledge of his specialty in history to show what has worked and hasn't worked. That's what we citizens need to understand when we're voting for our current political candidates, as well as living our lives in a way that makes our country better.
Doesn't Harrison Pitt have any awareness of the Lobby, AIPAC, and the Oligarchical donor billionaire class having a stranglehold on the Congress and on the Presidential candidates?
In other words , your implying politicians of either party are bought and sold for the tangible benefit of the assorted donor classes . Basically , prostitutes in suits and ties . Got it . 🤫
Great interview. Hansen is so knowledgeable. You can always learn from him and he lays it out for you. Makes so much sense.
A nice susprise I. always enjoy hearing you speak Victor Davis Hanson. And I am pleased to have met you Harrison Pitt. Thank you for sharing
Trump would have won Michigan in 2020 if it weren't for the after midnight vote dump of 120,000 votes -- which in a small town kitchen I watched happen on a computer screen when it happened.
I and several thousand others watched it happen in front of us, with no attempt to feather in the new votes the following morning when the counting was to be resumed.
Elon Musk and his friends have pledged $45m a month to the creation of a network of lawyers and private detectives to monitor voting and voting centres.
It's called counting mail in ballots after the election. No civics class in school....not your fault you're impressionable... Oops....get factual😂
big court case?... ppl can't decide if it's djt, or g-o-d, is going to save them?..
I watched closely, both when President Trump won in 16 and again in 20 when it seemed he was heading to victory when boxes of votes appeared from under tables behind closed doors..and when the dust settled 81000000 votes the most in history..it's like changing your grades from school, changing a D to an A+.
So Smart and right on everything!...US is in BIG TROUBLE!!!
The host country , to maintain its patrimony and values, must ensure that these aspirations are equally shared by new immigrants.
Ukraine with 300k casualties and Russia with 600k is way off sir..
Zelenski a great man?
@@no-one-knows321 He's a great man bro, a great man Lol
Up is down, down is up…are you sure 😂
I love VDH, he's #2 all time on my list. BUT DID HE SERIOUSLY CALL ZELENSKY A BRAVE WONDERFUL MAN? SORRY, THAT'S BS
I agree
VDH is a good resource to understand US politics and past military conflicts. His expertise ends there.
Yes, that made me jump! We do NOT all agree on Ukraine!
I think the same
Great discussion I hope you two do more
What a great conversation. Won't even call it an interview. Well done. Glad i stumbled here. TY Gentlemen
‘Juneteenth’ is the date when the last slaves in Texas were told that they we free. For decades it was a thing in Texas that no one paid much attention to, except to note that there was always an uptick in criminal violence among blacks.
Blacks on blacks violence
This kid is very impressive. Well versed.
Hillsdale College has some great courses about Civics and a host of other subjects that can be used to train the immigrants. Likewise, they have some great ideas on how to improve the school and university education systems. More people should do their courses and learn from them. They are giving us the intellectual ammunition to fight back.
This man, VDH, has provided education to me that matters. Thank you both for bringing this to the public.
90% of what VDH says is great, but his take on Ukraine and Zelenskyy is fucking laughable.
60%😂
I have never seen the TheForge before today. I am always drawn to Victor Davis Hanson no matter where he speaks. The host Harrison Pitt’s insight are clearly well considered and well informed. Thank you for the brilliant dialogue and awareness of the dangers we face. I am a new subscriber as of today.
This is so helpful Thank you for the constructive conversation, good to pursue and investigate, it inspires ❤️🙏✝️✡️🙏❤️🤔👀👀🤔🤔🤔
VDH is the best commentator on current events. Very intelligent conversation. A breath of fresh air from the mainstream media clamorous nonsense.
Excellent informative presentation. Thank you both.
Oh, I LOVE this vision of the pushback by the West that you have articulated, Victor! It is one of the only, if not THE only glimmer of hope that I have heard, WITHIN the EXISTING political order.
Victor is excellent 👌😊❤
This was a fantastic interview! There is one comment Harrison made that I want to add to. That concerns whether those Americans from a low or working class status are patriotic due to "feelings" and therefore are not interested in learning about our founding people and documents. He states it is similar in the U.K. In the U.S. there are actually many people from the working class or in poverty who are learning about our founding documents. Because there has been a decrease in schools teaching civics or government classes, many people emerge from public and private schools clueless about the history of America. So they undertake to learn themselves about what America is based upon. They often begin with the Constitution, since that is where our rights derive from. So Harrison was a little incorrect about that.
White Europeans built both nations, that's what he's talking about really, some second generation immigrant cannot have the same connection to our lands.
Wow! I never thought you would say such nice things about that worm Zelinski!
True. At best, he's just an actor playing a role. He had the chance to negotiate a peace with Putin, but pulled out because of pressure from the US. That makes him a puppet. At worse, I have a sneaking suspicion that he's skimming off hundreds of millions from the money flowing in. Within five years, he'll be living in the US and have a $billion stashed away and no one will be able to explain where it came from....and no one will want to find out.
That's why VDH is still invited to comment on legacy media shows.
Hamas is a worm not Zielinski .
Thanh you so much to both of you for your tremendous wisdom
The worst part of this episode is only that it came to an end
Professor Hanson is highly intelligent person, great discussion, very enlightening.
The left has the un-Midas touch 😂 spot on
Thanks Both of you for spreading the True To AMERICA. THANKS AGAIN The Hernandez Family Colorado.
Patriotism is built on investment and sacrifice. The sacrifice of generations of brothers, husbands and fathers on battlefields for the good of the country, the sacrifice of comfort and power, and the investment of a thousand years of taxation and hard graft, generation after generation. And once we realise how much we’ve really invested, we know how much we have to lose.

Yes the Young generation has completely discarded everything that our fathers and mothers have fought for.
@scottpalmer053 Why would the young generation want to offer themselves up to become a homeless vet?
@gmw3083 ...how many honorably discharged homeless vets do you know?
@@jacobzindel987 I avoid the population. This is my window into the menagerie. It's definitely a skewed view, but I'm well aware of this.
Excellent interview🎉 Thank you. VDH is a godsend.❤
I’m 65 and America has been an idiocracy since the late 1960s. It gets increasingly more stupid with each new generation. That’s why I left years ago.
Just as long as you don't come back.
@@ghostlyimageoffear6210, why would I? The country’s gone to💩! 🤷♂️
Where did you find that is actually better?
@@VzSga12-t7p, there are many better places than America. I live in an undisclosed country in Asia. 😉
Im gen z and this is why a lot of people my age don’t like the baby boomers. They created all of it.
Very interesting dialogue, I do think Mr Hanson is a very well educated and intelligent man, I do not agree with some things or more accurately his opinion on some things but I do respect his right to his views and with much of what he says he resonates with me.

Bring God back- the foundation must be strong or the house falls.
H. Pitt: "White people are being systematically erased."
V.D. Hansen: "Have you heard about the Federalist Papers?"
Such an invigorating conversation. Thank you both.
I served 20 in the navy I would not recommend anyone join this military.
Excellent discussion, Harrison. And thank you for being among a minority of eloquent English-speakers online.
You made an interesting point that immigrants don't bond with a new country through the reading of the country's foundational or constitutional documents. I think you put your finger on something significant but unfortunately Dr. Hanson didn't answer your objection satisfactorily and consequently an opportunity was missed to develop that idea.
Well, I'm an Englishman in my sixties and I've had some time since listening to this podcast to mull the source of my feeling of Englishness. I believe it is almost exclusively based on popular culture absorbed during childhood and into teenage years. To wit: Beatrix Potter, The Wind in the Willows, Hornblower, Nelson & Trafalgar, Wellington & Waterloo, Monty & Rommel, Mary Poppins, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, Agatha Christie, Syd Barret, Genesis, Sex Pistols, Lawrence of Arabia, Spice Girls, The Hobbit, Harry Potter, etc, etc, etc.
There will of course be an equivalent list for America, France, Germany and so on. My German wife would talk about Pumuckl, Pippilangstrumpf and _Die Sendung mit der Maus._
Finding a way to install this sort of furniture in the imaginations of new arrivals is likely to be considerably easier and be wildly more effective than discussing Magna Carta or the Treaty of Union. It would also have the advantage of preparing the ground for an upgrade to William Blake, Vaughan Williams, Shakespeare, Milton, Iris Murdoch, Turner and Banksy!
You had me until 'Zelensky is a brave, popular man'.
Is this sketch comedy?
Yes.
Zelenskyy is brave and popular- I don’t like it either but it can be reasonably argued.
@gemguy6812 a gay jewish criminal can be neither.
@gemguy6812 hardly. He is a totalitarian dictator throwing the youth in his nation into a meat grinder.
@@gemguy6812 He is a true leader. His life is definitely exposed to danger. I support their cause because they are fighting for their freedom. Freedom is something we take for granted here in the US. We could lose our freedom under a one party rule.
If you don't know how your country got started, you will not appreciate how you got your patriotism. The good and bad.
Love me some VDH but I can’t believe he said, “I think we all support Ukraine“ and then later “Zelenski is a wonderful man“? What a load of Poppycock!! 😂
Agreed
He also said the Russians had sustained 600k of casualties! Made me think he doesn’t know what is going on in Ukraine!
@@noel3830 He doesn't. VDH is an historian and not a military man, so he's not an authority on any active conflicts.
Agreed. But what date was this interview? Did most of us not originally support Ukraine & believe Zelensky? How many of us , at the beginning, had sufficient reason/information to be skeptical?
@@Mumtaz-ks8cs I never once supported Ukraine or believed Zelensky was anything but a greedy puppet. It's all pretty obvious if you've followed what's happed since 2014 with the overthrow of Ukraine's government by Victoria 'fuck the EU' Nuland and the aggressive policy of the US/NATO against Russia since the 90s. If China or Russia tried to bring Mexico into a military alliance, (and bring in nukes) would the US stand by and do nothing? This is all insanity. You just have to have an instinct for the right news sources to follow.
God Grace & Blessing 🎆Shine on Mr.Hanson.
We have lowered standards and qualifications for every field and occupation so women and blacks can compete with white men if not what is the purpose and intent of affirmative action and DEI
As always Mr Hanson delivers clear and concise arguments against too much liberalism. I don't know anyone who's satisfied with how things are going. My feeling is that people are slowly starting to figure out why things are that bad, and that these social justice/equity slogans are just a facade and the people behind this are the billionaires, corporations, the elite government class as their underlings, etc.
The only people you should trust, really, are your community leaders, churches, neighborhood watches, unions, etc. There's an elite cabal that wants to take away our sovereignty with these endless conflicts.
Yes I agree 100%
The U.S. needs to support willing subnational administrative entities in developing countries to achieve independence, and assist them with shoring up their borders, customs agencies, legal frameworks, and monetary systems. By expanding the American model of governance and economy to these regions, the U.S. could stem the outflow of banana republic economic refugees, while addressing labor shortages in manufacturing industries without further damaging and disrupting the U.S. itself.
Both sides of my families had a long line of service, including me. My son unfortunately joined before the woke stuff and found out the hard way. And we all agree on one thing now. We'll never let another family member join any longer. China, Russia or Iran is not the threat that our own government is.
National elections laws should not be changed by state .
National elections laws can be legally changed ONLY by state legislatures. The 2020 early mail ins were 100% unconstitutional.
I ALWAYS want to listen to Victor!!!!!!
