| 0:00.0 | Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Victor Davis Hanson show, the classicist. We are recording |
| 0:08.3 | on Saturday, September 4, 2021. I'm Jack Fowler, the host, the director of the Center for Civil |
| 0:15.2 | Society at American Philanthropic, the star of the show, and its namesake is Victor Davis Hanson, |
| 0:21.9 | who is the Martin and Eli Anderson senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, |
| 0:26.1 | and the Wayne and Marsha Busch distinguished fellow in history at Hillsdale College, |
