Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. I am excited. We're in the last final stretch before the campaign, before the election, before this big answer finally comes to us. And today we have Victor Davis Hanson with us. He is a bestselling historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is also the author of the most recent book, The End of Everything,

How Wars Descend Into Annihilation. Victor, Victor, Victor, thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you for having me, too. Absolutely. So I'm looking at this campaign. It's been, I was actually

talking to someone this morning, and she was like, this is just such an unprecedented election cycle. I'm like, I mean, we can say nothing else other than that because

we've never seen a candidate be installed. The media go after the other side the way they have.

The DOJ come and try to put the guy in jail. I mean, when you look at this as a historian, what do you say about

what's gone on? Well, I always try to put everything in context. And so the things that you

outlined, I just say, have we ever had a president impeached twice in two terms that much less one, no. Has he ever been tried

by a private, as a private citizen in the Senate? No. Have we ever had five civil and criminal

lawsuits that would have never been brought against him had he just not run? Or maybe, and you

could say that they'd never been brought previously against a private

citizen in any circumstance. Have we ever had 16 states try to remove a president from the

ballot? We've never had two assassination attempts in a single, against a candidate in a single cycle.

So what explains all of this? And I think the answer is that two things.

One, this progressive experiment that took off with Obama but gained speed after George Floyd riots, etc., doesn't appeal to people.

They were willing to give it sort of a chance because of the woke hysteria,

but on the border, on crime, on foreign policy, on the economy, people don't like it. And the

left knows that now. And so they're not going to talk about it, or if they are going to talk

about it in the case of Senate candidates and Harris herself, they're going to claim portions

of it as their own.

And that should tell us something.

So then what are they going to win on?
