Recorded on April 23, 2020
Victor Davis Hanson is both a classical scholar at the Hoover Institution and a farmer in the San Joaquin Valley of California. He’s also a defender of the President, (his book The Case For Trump spent weeks on the best seller lists in 2019), and a close observer of the scientific and medical communities. These disparate interests and fields of study give him very unique perspectives and insights on the current COVID-19 crisis. We discuss the current situation with him in great detail, including the difficulties encountered by farmers, by research scientists and doctors, why some areas of the country are affected more than others, his theories about when the virus actually appeared in the U.S. and finally, what plagues of the ancient world can teach us about how to best manage and get past the situation the entire world finds itself in.

When ever I need to feel hope, I listen to a Victor Davis Hanson interview, who can provide a historical perspective to what is happening now. I am a retired Chem. Eng. and history buff and he gives me hope that we will awaken before we walk off the cliff. I am in Ecuador most of the time which is very locked down, but the poor uneducated people know how to survive and I had my hair cut sitting on a garbage can behind the bamboo home of my barber and were joyful that they would have money for rice and beans for merienda last night. They know that along with their neighbors, are the only ones who will save them from starvation which is worse than the corona virus. I gave them N95 masks and latex gloves for their back yard business. They brought me fruit today from their garden. Life is good, People are good and it reminds me of our humanity.

My hat's off to this wonderful show, Uncommon Knowledge from the Hoover Institution. Thank you for introducing Victor Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell to me. Intellectuals capable of communicating with clarity, no smoke and mirrors with these gentleman. People of this caliber restore my faith in Human endeavor.

I'm from Canada, and I agree; however, it's not going to happen. Do you really expect the media to go against the going narrative? -- forget it! Their not going to talk about suicides increasing and people dying from other conditions because they can't go out to seek medical attention, etc. They're not going to talk about *the fact* that more people are going to die from from the lock-down and scaremongering then the virus itself. Heaven forbid that we upset the public or make the politicians and medical community look bad.

Renaissance man. Rancher, classics scholar, author, commentator. Mr Hanson is an old school Californian and Westerner. Me too. I live part-time where Mr Hanson spends half his time in Palo Alto, CA. The town and region was never conservative, like the central valley, but it's now infested with leftists. I happily spend more time outside the bay area, with the ranchers and farmers.

@expsterm1 4 года назад

Let's just shelter in place forever because once everybody gets back on the freeway there will be more car accident death. Also, we should shelter in place every flu season at the end of the year. Crime is down here in Los Angeles, so let's shelter in place forever so there won't be a spike in crime. The point is the longer social distancing is in place, the longer herd immunity is postponed. What's going to happen after everybody goes back to work, Coronavirus all over again? This makes no sense at all. Enough is enough.

the president's press briefings are causing more people to see some of the reporters in the room as irrelevant.

The medical community has indeed been warning of inevitable pandemics for decades. In medical school in the 1970’s, we learned of the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & the real possibility that despite progress in public health, antibiotics & vaccines, we remain vulnerable to a ferocious, highly contagious & lethal pandemic. This warning was repeated many times since but fell on politicians fairly deaf ears.

"War is a permanent aspect of human life." I have to agree, except that nuclear weapons have rendered war between great powers impossible because of mutually assured destruction. Without an external outlet for our aggressive and warlike nature we have turned against ourselves, almost like an autoimmune disease. First there was the war on drugs, then the war on terrorism, then the war between left and right. Now we have a war on COVID 19, which is really a war on death itself. Thank-you for a very thought provoking discussion!! Much respect to you both.
