Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Victor Davis Hanson: Anchor Babies the Defy Logic and Spirit of 14th Amendment
Q: What is your assessment of the NATO alliance's value in current geopolitics?
Hanson argues NATO remains strategically valuable despite strains, because long-standing European defense commitments and shared bases (like those in Crete and Italy) enable the U.S. to counter threats efficiently; without European buy-in, the alliance would be less capable, potentially forcing the U.S. to bear the burden unilaterally.
Chicago Illegal Alien Murder, Europe’s Islam Accommodation, and Trump’s Iran Strategy | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: How do you view the Iranian strategy and the administration's approach to Iran?
He contends that a four-goal framework is essential: no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, no subsidies to terrorist proxies, and no acceptance of a regime that bullies its neighbors. He believes a show of decisive action and alliance-building is necessary, while criticizing the current leadership for seeking limited or ambiguous outcomes.
Chicago Illegal Alien Murder, Europe’s Islam Accommodation, and Trump’s Iran Strategy | Victor Davis Hanson
Q: What is your take on the governor's sanctuary state stance and its impact on crime in Chicago?
Hanson argues that sanctuary policies empower criminals by signaling non-cooperation with federal enforcement, leading to higher crime rates and a mismatch between law and policy. He suggests that aggressive federal action and clear consequences for illegal entry are necessary to curb violence.
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.
