Hello ladies, hello gentlemen. This is the Victor Davis Hanson show I am Jack Fowler, the host, our star, our namesake Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Ili Anderson senior fellow with the Hoover institution and the way in Amar Shaboski distinguished fellow in history at Hillsdale College where Victor is acting.

Where Victor is actually right now sitting and talking to me and he'll be there for a whole week doing his Victor thing at the at that great institution.

A lot to talk about policy wise things of California Jordan Peterson having to get some some social media training dictated by the Canadian Psychiatric Association is just crazy.

Let's ask some other maybe we'll get into some censorship stuff and before we get into let's let's start off with Jordan Peterson.

We're going to hear an important message, but we're also going to hear about Victor's Victor's travel so we'll get to all that right after these important messages.

Back with the Victor Davis Hanson show I know our producers don't like to do this Victor, but I have to give dates, but this particular podcast is supposed to be up and out there on the internet on the fifth, which would be your 70th birthday correct.

Jack I you're right I am going to be 70 I'm sorry I gave the year, but I'm suffering from long COVID euphoria so I feel 50 okay is that minimize though by long distance travel yes it is I had to travel here, but I'm feeling much better and we can talk about the US airline industry if you wish.

I've made a lot of public comments about it, but I think I think I think I'd make 70 at one point in my life when I had a rupture appendix in Libya and I did yeah you've you've talked to us about that dramatic surgery not and and of course the last the most recent podcast you did with Sammy you gave an accounting of your media family members and there.

There well many died young, but yeah, we figured that out about why they all died, whether it was because of pesticides or just growing up, but yeah, it was very strange that my sister not died at 50 her sister died it as I said 52 my daughter died at 26 my aunt died at 49 my other aunt died at 60 my mother died early and they all grew up on a farm.

Well, we're happy you're we're happy and blessed for what God gives us, but that you're here Victor for 70 years and hopefully many more and let our listeners in on a little something you say that after you've seen Joe Biden you say you hope I have many more years, do we really want to go there?

True, true enough, although Henry Kissinger is a hundred and he saw I'm interrupting you, but I just saw Mick Jagger at 80 and they had him juxtaposed to Joe Biden and a caption said see what sex drugs and alcohol can do for you.

Do you know Biden the headlines in today's paper he like 40% of his presidency has been on vacation.

So yeah, it is 40% he has not been in the office. Thank God.

Yeah, well it's well let's by the way, Victor that early here in real time, but as on internet time, very happy birthday and we had we had you had one of your listeners fans actually brought up.

Actually, write a song, but the sage of Selma is a birthday gift.

Yeah, I lived until he wrote a birthday song that was very nice.

Yeah.

Well, Victor, here's the headline we'll get to your travel later in this episode.

It's about Jordan Peterson.

Jordan Peterson says he will move to broadcast mandated social media training and this from the daily wire. Let me just read the.

First to send in social training. Yeah, well, Dr. Jordan Peterson said that he will move to broadcast publicly the social media training.

He was ordered to undergo by a psychologist governing body that targeted Peterson for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism and the Canadian government Peterson told Fox News.
