Hello ladies. Hello gentlemen. This is the Victor Davis Hanson Show. I am Jack Fowler, the host, but the star. The namesake. That's Victor Davis Hanson.

Here's the Martin and Ely Anderson senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

The Wayne and Marsha Batsky distinguished fellow in history at Hillsdale College.

You know Victor was on the recent Hillsdale College cruise and he gave a really, really interesting talk

while he was there and it's been published in in Primus, which is the gosh, I think everyone in

America gets in Primus. Victor, I think about 67 million people received this.

But this came to the mail a couple of weeks ago. I've been meaning to get Victor to talk about this

particular essay or speech and it's on imperialism and we will get Victor's thoughts on that.

The new issue of strategic, hopefully some lunacy going on at some American colleges.

All that and more right after these important messages.

We're back at the Victor Davis Hanson Show. When Victor, this was very happy when my mailbox

here comes in Primus and there's you right on the cover and the imperialism lessons from history.

This is the name of the of the talk you gave and it's based off of this idea that some suggest

today that America is behaving imperialistically. And of course Victor, you go back through the

history and especially with the Athenians and others and discuss what it means to be imperialistic

and how does America compare these historical terms? Would you tell us about

this really, really engaging essay?
