Welcome America. This is the Victor Davis Hanson show. Victor is a trained classical philologist

as for those of you who are just joining this show.

But he has also written much in military history

and classics and on agriculture.

So lots of books, 727, if we count every single thing that has been published by Victor Davis

Hamson and he is also the Martin and Ialy Anderson senior fellow in

military history and classics at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and

Marsha Buskey Distinguished Fellow in History at Hillsdale College. This is our

weekend edition and we will be looking at some news and then we'll go on to another topic.

For those of you who have been following the weekend editions,

we are changing pace a little bit because we did get to the end of wars that we were recounting throughout history and we got to the present.

So we're going to turn to some topics in literature and then people or individuals that Victor has known personally and some of their

history.

So that will be the new direction of our weekend edition. We want to listen to a few messages and we'll get right back with you.

We're back. We're back. So Victor we got news first and then we'll go into our

discussion literary discussion today. There we've just finished Thanksgiving and so we're the day after

only if you had any thoughts on this continuing madness.

Well I mean we could go on for a long time because the pro-Homass, Palestinian, whatever term

we use off campus on campus.
