Hello ladies, hello gentlemen. This is the Victor Davis Hanson show. I'm Jack Fowler. I am the host, the star, and the name say Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin E. Anderson, senior fellow with the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and Marsha Busky Distinguished Fellow in history.

At Hillsdale College, plenty to talk about. There's always, as long as Joe Biden's president, as long as Donald Trump's being indicted, as long as America's on the brink of a civilizational collapse, Victor, there's always something to talk about.

And today we should begin this episode by picking up a conversation that I understand you and Sammy talked about in another recording.

And that's this tablet magazine interview of David Garrow, Obama biographer, young Obama biographer, and it's turned up some really interesting news nuggets, and also I think the fact that some discrepancies in Obama's life have come to be of total non-interest to the major media.

We cannot expose the great and holy ones. So, Victor, we'll get to that. I just want to mention also today our episode or edition is sponsored by our good friends at AMAC, the Association of mature American citizens, and I'll get to that in a little bit.

And first we will get to your thoughts on the Garrow tablet magazine interview. And we'll do that right after these important messages.

Back with Victor Davis Hansen show, Victor, I'm happy to learn that you and the great Sammy Wink touched on this tablet magazine interview.

You know, I not to plug up front my the civil thoughts newsletter I do every week, but I I don't know how I came across tablet magazine online journal. It's it's it's Jewish in in its interests, except it's it's more than that it cares about deeper embroider things, but it's really a great publication always something really interesting in there.

So I often put it in civil thoughts and then see that this interview with David Garrow, the biographer, he wrote the FBI and Martin Luther King Jr. bearing the cross, but he also wrote in 2017 a biography of Barack Obama called rising star, and it didn't seem to get that much attention.

But one thing that's come out of it Victor is that what he found out at the time when he was writing the book about young Obama clashes with Obama's history of himself in his book, what the hell was dreams of my father.

So so I I found this article is a is an interview really interesting and I think.

You can talk about whatever more on this you'd like to talk about Victor, but this one thing gets me or I'd like to hear your thoughts on I think our listeners would is about.

Current Obama right there's a man that the only American president ever other than Woodrow Wilson to to live in Washington after his he left the White House and you know Wilson had to he couldn't go anywhere he was dying he was a stroke victim, but Obama is clearly there clearly set up his you know third term operation through Joe Biden and it seems.

A great dissentress to the media as do many other aspects of Barack Obama's life let's not report the truth because you know do we want to untie the fable anyway Victor great piece I thought want to recommend tablet magazine in general to to our our listeners your thoughts my friend.

That's a very good magazine I think I miss spoke when we reference it with Sammy and I said Neil causador has an editor he's the editor mosaic another great magazine and it's kind of strange that both are Jewish.

Focus magazines and they came out about the same time and they're very well edited and run but mosaic tablet I think is edited by new house and her husband I think was the interlocutor David Samuels in this in this particular interview and he's written you know for the he's a man on the left he's written for Atlantic and New Yorker on things like rap music I think he was the one remember that.

Damning interview of Ben Rhodes where he got Ben Rhodes to say that these they fed all of these false narratives about the Iran deal and he said these young people know nothing and he really derided the left young reporting how easy they were to be be funnel anyway it's a long interview with David Garrow and what's interesting about it is.

I don't know how to frame it but it's almost like I told you so and by that I mean he finished the book a book was written over eight or nine years and it came out in 2017 but there had been preliminary previews of it and when people heard of some of the things that were in it such as Barack Obama.

His memoir dreams from my father was a complete fantasy was a work of fiction they didn't like it and they didn't like him earlier because he had reported on the underside of the personal life of Martin Luther King not as essential but incidentally and so the left had kind of disowned him and so now six years after the book is out he gets a let interview with David Samuels.

Who's kind of like a Matt Taiyibi not quite there yet but a man of the left it's increasingly apparently bothered by woke but my point is this is that he's kind of saying well I know the left ignored this book but in the last six years since it's been out look at what who Obama is and what he's done and see if I didn't predict that given the story of his life that I chronicle.

He didn't really write about the administration of Obama but now he's saying things that make he's saying this is the logical culmination of the values and who Obama was and for example he says at one point that the Obama administration was a failure and it was a failure because they did not do anything in Syria after saying there would be a red line if the Assad dynasty was producing weapons of mass destruction it was a failure because.

In light of where Ukraine is now the first aggression took place during the Obama administration both in the Donbass and then in crime and you can make the argument that that was a direct result.
