  • Your Right lung has 3 lobes…

    Great show but you keep saying that your right lung has two lobes and one was removed. As a physician, I can tell you your right lung has three lobes, upper, middle, and lower. Your left lung has two lobes, upper and lower with an appendage called the lingula in the upper left. Thanks.

  • Trump Apologizer, racism

    Used to listen to VDH daily but can’t deal with his support of a totally deranged, divisive, and morally bankrupt Trump. He’s entered old man yelling at clouds territory and the show is kinda racist.

  • Five stars!

    Thank you VDH for your words of wisdom. I pray you continue to recover. Your show is great for all ages and may I hope the younger generation can know what life was like when we worked hard and the Government was smaller.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The “Pandemic of Lunacy”: How to Think Clearly When Everyone Around You Seems Crazy, J. Budziszewski
Q: What are the main kinds of lunacies the book identifies, and how do they affect public reasoning?
The book outlines about 30 lunacies, many with a core claim about God or moral order; these ideas spread when they contain grains of truth, provoke predictable emotional reactions, and metastasize through social dynamics from individuals to institutions.
The Merits of Joe Kent’s Resignation, the Democrats’ Anti-Israel Shift, and America’s Blue-State Decline | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: What do you think about the NBC poll on Israel's standing among Democrats and independents?
Hanson views the NBC poll as evidence of a changing political landscape where Israel becomes a partisan issue, with potential long-term effects on U.S. foreign policy and electoral dynamics inside both parties.
The Merits of Joe Kent’s Resignation, the Democrats’ Anti-Israel Shift, and America’s Blue-State Decline | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: How do demographic and political shifts in the Democratic Party affect U.S. foreign policy and support for Israel?
Hanson asserts that segments of the Democratic Party have grown more skeptical or critical of foreign commitments, including Israel, reflecting a broader realignment that could complicate bipartisan support for Israel in future primaries and policy decisions.
The Merits of Joe Kent’s Resignation, the Democrats’ Anti-Israel Shift, and America’s Blue-State Decline | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: What is your take on Joe Kent's resignation and his stance on Iran policy?
Kent's resignation underscores a broader debate within conservative security circles about how aggressively to confront Iran, with Hanson highlighting that Kent criticized the administration's Iran posture while noting the risks of misjudging threat levels and the appeal of a decisive stance.
Victor Davis Hanson: A US Ground War With Iran Would Be Costly and Likely Unnecessary
Q: What are the potential military options if Iran escalates, and which does Hanson view as most viable?
Hanson outlines a spectrum from targeted leadership removals and limited military actions to the riskier option of longer-term regime change, but he emphasizes that heavy ground involvement in Iran would be dangerous and that air power and strategic pressure are more likely to be effective while limiting civilian harm.
