Victor Davis Hanson on Tucker, Trump, and the Fracturing Right
Manage episode 518714611 series 3531011
My guest today is Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist, military historian, and senior fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. Victor is one of the most articulate defenders of Donald Trump, and one of the few people willing to explain why millions of Americans still see him as a necessary corrective rather than a danger.
We talk about how his years farming in California shaped his politics, how “lawfare” now cuts both ways, and why so many conservatives feel the system has turned against them. We also dive into the strange new revisionism spreading on the American right—from the claim that Churchill “started” World War II, to the idea that the Nazis killed millions by accident—and why Tucker Carlson has begun platforming the people pushing those ideas.
