Hello everyone. This is the Victor Davis Hansen show. We hope everyone is enjoying their

holy days. We have Ramadan month going on. We have the beginning of Passover for Jews and we

have the Christians in their Easter weekend. So we hope everybody has an opportunity to commune

with their God. So we have a lot on the schedule today. Frank James, Elon Musk and the Mosque

Va, I hope I pronounce that right, which was sunk in the Black Sea. And then something special for

Christians. Not so much. We're sinkling out any particular religion, but a Victor does happen

to know a lot about the New Testament. And so we're going to ask him a few questions on that New

Central Valley, nature is growing wildly to create all sorts of fruits and nuts. And I kind of

appreciate that today. Yeah, it gives you a regularity, a schedule, a predictability.

I always, I was very fortunate. I think that half the country grew up with people who were born

in the 19th century and half didn't. And when you had that opportunity, feel bad at my children,

didn't. But I was born in 1953 and my grandfather was born in 1890 and the other one was born in 1889.

So when I came of age, say, at 73, they were already in their 80s, but I remember them at five

and six when they were in their 60s. And so I inherited a glimpse into a pre-modern world.

And my gosh, what a treat or enlightenment. I'd look back and you think, wow, they live, you know,
