Farming, Warfare, and a Classical Life | Victor Davis Hanson

My name is Jonathan Walter Arnn and I find it awesome that this man is my father's cousin and is the dean of this University. It brings Joy it makes me feel like there is true hope for my family in this world.

I never get one ounce of boredom listening to Victor Davis Hansen! He is such an intellectual and humble thought leader. These are the types of guides humans need in a successful society. He is fascinating in all his uncommon brilliance.

If ever, in these times, someone deserves the moniker 'a national treasure' , it is Victor Davis Hanson. In fact I would go as far to say, he is an international treasure in these mad times. Thank you sir.

Thank God for Hillsdale College and men like VICTOR DAVIS HANSEN.

Wouldn't life be a breeze if more people were of the same caliber as VDH and Dr. Arnn? They represent the BEST of America....and to no small extent, mankind. God bless them.

Victor Davis Hanson. You are a National Treasure Sir. When YOU speak, I listen.

My wife and I have a small farm and we sell locally, pecan orchard, raised garden beds, chickens for eggs and meat bird chickens, we also have cows, we only ave 40 acres but we enjoy providing for the community.

This is the gentleman that should be leading us instead of the brain less fools in D.C. The more I listen to this brilliant man the more you become enamored with his elegant way of dispensing all of that incredible knowledge. What an incredible man.

This man is a national treasure.

🤔I listen to professor Victor Davies Hansons podcasts almost everyday , I am glad I came upon this video tonight , I’m not a student or a professor but a listener with a love for history and languages by listening to Dr Hanson I can say this, “ for a brilliant scholar he is so humble with such a great sense of humor. He has a gift of keeping listeners captivated with his immense knowledge , take you to Ancient Greece and Roman Empire and next he can talk about everyday events and complete the podcast sometimes with a treat of taking about his child hood in the farm and his amazing mother who was a judge ,which I have a lots of respect for , and talk about living and farming in his historical family farm in California. Listening to Dr Hanson makes one’s mind and soul journey to the next level armed with knowledge.🦋 Thank you for offering on line classes at Hillsdale college I’m going to take a course in dying citizen. I do have my first certificate in Genesis.🤓

VDH is a NATIONAL TREASURE! He is the voice of reason. Thank you, VDH, for sharing your wisdom to the world.

This is a conversation of intellectual juggernauts. What a wonderful pleasure to get to listen in on this discussion.

Both VDH and Dr Arn are examples of the substance of Great Men! Thank you, gentlemen.

I didn't need anyone to tell me to distance myself from the insanity of our current society. It was a natural reaction. Now I can listen to VDH every day.😊

Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and perspective. I am a government and U.S. History teacher in a public highschool. Hillsdale and V.D.H. help me keep the faith.

So grateful for Dr. Arnn and his work to lead the resistance. Have just pre-ordered my copy of Prof Hansen's latest book. May God continue to bless these gentlemen and the family of Hillsdale College.

I am so grateful for having the opportunity to be able to listen to wisdom

Victor is a great American 🇺🇸

I've probably watched more videos and listened to more podcasts of Victor Davis Hanson than of any other person on the internet. I truly admire and enjoy his teaching style and his vast knowledge of history and of current culture. I smiled when he mentioned repairing the outbuildings on his farm. Like Dr. Hanson, I grew up working on farms. My family was from Oklahoma and were part of the Okie diaspora that he has mentioned in some of his interviews. We worked mostly in Arizona vegetable and cotton fields and for about a year we worked in California near Bakersfield. My Dad was a great mechanic and worked on farm equipment in the off season to feed the family. I hope that Dr. Hanson continues to educate and inspire his viewers and listeners for many years to come. I've been truly blessed for having read his books, taken his classes on the Second World Wars and on The Dying Citizen from Hillsdale's online school. I highly recommend them all.

A lovely conversation shared by Hillsdale. Thank you for making this available on YouTube.
