Welcome to the Bill Bennett Show. Welcome back folks, thoughtful conversation about the

news of the day and the address existential threats to America. And they're both internal

and external low threats. We'll talk about them with two very smart guys joining me

at a Conrad Black, an author columnist and media contributor. Also, Victor Davis Hansen,

he's a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute. His focus is classics in military history.

It's a special edition of the Bill Bennett Show. We call it Scholars and Sets, S-E-H-O-L-A-R-N-S-E-N-S-E

Scholars and Sets. Let's jump right in. Guys, I am, you know, when I wrote my American history book,

I talked about 60s and 68s and as horrible as my saying that right, Victor. Yeah, close enough.

Who we don't really know is both Victor. You know, we don't. We're not sure how they pronounce

these words. Anyway. And how do you? There's a Catholic pronunciation that's different than

I am guilty of that, but how do you say it? Honours, uh, Herbilists or Honours.

They're terrible. Even people have used Herbilists, but Herbilists is the normal one.

The contemporary use of it was her late majesty, the queen, and then she pronounced it just as

you did, Victor. It was a horror of the year. Yeah, but I, you know, I was worried about the country

then and people spell you America with a K, but I'm more worried now. I don't know where to start.

Can we start with this election, this last election? Can I just say, Bill, I agree with you

can play them. I'm not an American, but I care about America. I feel very discouraged about

what's going on. I see, oh, but in 68, I remember it well. And as we all do, it was a terrible year,

but we should all remember in that year at one time or another, to Lyndon Johnson,

Hubert Humphrey, Robert Kennedy, Nelson, Roncafell, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan,

were all running for president. I mean, then they were all qualified to be president,

and some of them were presidents and good presidents. And that, you know, it's not the same now.
