Victor Davis Hanson on “The Case For Trump”
Recorded on April 1, 2019.
How did blue-collar voters connect with a millionaire from Queens in the 2016 election? Martin and Illie Anderson Senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson addresses that question and more in his newly released book, The Case for Trump. He sits down with Peter Robinson to chat about his motivation to write a book making a rational case for those voters who chose Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
Hanson and Robinson, the Murdoch Distinguished Policy Fellow, discuss how voters connected with Trump’s “personal authenticity” during the campaign and how the media has a “historical amnesia” of the bad behavior of past presidents when talking about President Trump. The president, Hanson argues, was always an outsider from elite society in Manhattan, which helped him to better to connect with voters who felt like outsiders. He analyzes President Trump’s platform agenda, which was composed 80% of traditionally conservative views with the remaining 20% being radical ideas that fit with many of the views of the midwestern states. He breaks down why, in the end, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and John Kasich didn’t appeal to voters in the way that Trump managed to.
Hanson turns to talk about his background and life growing up in California’s Central Valley and how different the area feels now compared to when he was younger. He talks about seeing the majority of the family-run farms being steadily replaced with large commercial operations and how that’s drastically impacted the workforce and economics of the region. He goes on to discuss issues of water protection and water quality in the Central Valley and how Bay Area elites prioritize their water quality over that of the rural farmers.

Dennis. In the 70’s I read a book called God’s Smuggler. Dennis was this you?
7:30..who is this guy in the grey suit?..see him pulling the satan sign?..
What was so great about JFK? Marilyn Monroe?
The first decent understanding of , Trump.
Aahh!! Glad we have Biden
You don't have to be a elite to be a great president Elite are sic and have no care for anyone but them self
The US made a big mistake electing Biden. I think had not the pandemic come along, President Trump would have cruised to a second term victory. I think his one failing is that he should have had his staff vet his tweets, and perhaps done fewer press conferences.
Scholarship married to Fox News deceitfulness and far right talking points.
Miss trump alot
Brilliant!!
I love Trump
I miss our great president.
99 CENT STORE EVERYWHERE
We heart Trump!!
Hate is eating you.
Trump was a modern day David. Four more years and Goliath would have fallen.
Administration, legislation, judicial and media have decayed already in USA now..
I would Like to meet Victor Davis Hanson
75 million and most likely more. NOT 63 MILLION
I regret not voting for Trump.
Such a great interview.
Bring Trump back!!!
We want Trump back!
Victor is brillante, Trump is a leader.
Donald Trump isn't a career politician. That will get my vote based on the fact that he has not been paid his entire career off of public funds. He didn't even take a check during his Presidency, a true Patriot. Nobody should spend their life being a politician. Public servants who want power careers wind up being the epitome of Pelosi and Biden =worthless and costly to the American people. They only care about lobbyist concerns and how much power and wealth they can accumulate. The people they are supposed to work for become totally irrelevant and it shows.
God bless America and God bless Trump
We all need to pray, pray, pray!
Pelosi, judgement is coming sooner than you think!
He’s only an outsider to all the elites who think so highly of themselves. With all his money and power he reaches down to us and gives us a hand up and NOT a handout!!!!!
it is the CIA's propaganda that is vulgar and divisive. it is also in violation of the constitution by having become a domestic enemy. I pray their FCC licensure is revoked for their seditions and treasonous actions.
I thought it was the actor John Malcavich talking in a suit in a conservative role in an interview! 😱🤣😂
I pledge allegiance to the flag 🏳 of United States of America to the Republicans for which it stands one Nation under God individual with Liberty 🗽 justice ⚖ for All Everyone Rights Matter and our opinion Rights Matter God Bless USA 🙏❤✨♥ Praying
And here we are, one year later, living out Obama's third term. It's worse than I imagined.
God bless these men that tried to save America they both care for America...
This guy makes isn't as smart as he thinks he is when it comes to Trump and Society.
✔️✔️✔️💯👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯✨🌟🌟⭐🌟✨💫💫🎆🎇
I would love to hear Mr Davis Hanson views on Biden today . Today is February 2021 !!
I wish the liberals would learn from Victor. We are all doomed with the dems in power especially the Jews and Israel........
great
Trump won in a landslide.
Fantastic interview and exposition of logical thoughts. CS
Victor Hanson sounds like an arrogant poppas goody two shoes with his nose in the are as if he is superior to the average citizen.
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Educational very helpful to many. Gracias
I’m supporting him all the way when known him better and always will be!!!
How true the end has happened,
Trump is awesome!
Good book for everyone to read , worth keeping it in my library ,
Common sense. It's what the left know nothing about.
Thank you ! Love DJT .
Little did these two men know Then, that Democrats were going to perpetuate massive Voter Fraud and Republican members of Congress, including VP Pence would turn their backs on Trump, reducing our beloved president to a one term presidency.
If God be for us Who can be against us! We are blessed!
Since WHEN has KILLERY been a GOOD girl....
Both of these individuals are very good at their craft.
Actually Trump has a big brain
Should teach this in schools, I got to buy this book
Hold the line
VDH was 💯 on point in this video. Hind sight is 20/20
Thank you for bringing out the positive and some negative of Presidents Trumps personality but you bring out his Genius as a President and his ability to identify with all Americans. His overview of world leaders has brought the World together where the European and global peoples have seen President Trump as a world leader who gives people a desire for Freedom. Communism does not work and people know this. We Americans don’t want the social destruction of American Patriotism and Freedoms. Biden will never be accepted by the majority of American Patriots. We want Justice where those Corrupt Politicians are toppled and arrested for their evils against the innocent children, young girls and boys who are subjugated to their evil intents and atrocities aka Epstein slavery victims. We know Obama’s sins, Clinton sins, Pelosi sins, Comey and many in the Swamp. Americans want this place drained. I give A++++++ for sharing the high lights from your book. I want to read your book, you have a view many of us have but you speak for us. Don’t quit writing Truth. I don’t believe He’s through yet. The voting was stolen, he will go down as the best President we have ever had! Obama,will go down as the worst. Americans love Trump! Biden is a joke and embarrassing to the world!
So insightful. I enjoyed this interview soo much. I learned even more.. thank you
Trump realized that he is the leader of more than 80,000,000 people.
Trump won but “we planned the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of the American politics,” Biden confessed.
Turns out it was much worse than Hanson could have predicted for Trump. Honestly surprised this video hasn't yet been censored for sympathizing with a "domestic terrorist" as the establishment has designated us all.
Thank you President Trump. Your legacy will go on forever. 2024!
I a person can see some problems there's a clear and present danger the enemies in the government give me the time I hope We the People it's all these problems get the enemy of the people out of the government
Too bad these words fall on deaf ears
The flashy siamese anatomically fry because cucumber acly exist about a grubby gruesome temperature. abusive, black-and-white peace
WE THE PEOPLE LOVE OUR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. HIS LEGACY LEAVES ON FOREVER!!
Thank you Mr Hanson.
We have all under estimated the sneaky lying conniving Communist forces with in our government and societee. God help us.
There is a constantt drum without exception that all politicians and citizens defer to invariably: numbers count. Governance necessarily must defer to an accounting system . In the simplist means when arithmetically applied:one person, one vote. Under curent means, numbers or one-person has no relation to measure of population interests or means of determeance of personal expression of multiple interests.. Accordingly, individual interests are subverted by and obviscated by a nondescript but omnipresent sack of turds. So, don't get too high on that horse, choose the jackas.(not the donkey) sc on
Thank you mr hanson for your always unwavering loyalty to President Trump . And thank you for being the last voice of reason in California ( you in Academia amd james woods in Hollywood wich like you ( like most of conservatives ) has the highest IQ in his field ) .
Love listening to Victor Hansen
"The case for Trump " Worth reading' By Victer David Hansen
No more dynasties
Trump has common sense.
Well, this aged like milk. Hanson sir, you are a moron.
VDH rules
Great show. Excellent guest and host. Lots of good information here
Spot on ...
Please invite Me. Hansen again.
I love this, thank you.
At 12:35, "Exempt from the ramifications of his own ideology"? You folks are really not grounded in reality. Everyone who shares this mindset is sick.
ARREST THE DEMS NOW. PELOSI SCHUMMER SCHIFF NADLER CLINTON OBAMA
I have a feeling a lot of people are laughing at this apologetic bullshit. Hillsdale is a fraud. This is killing our country, and the rich like you pos's do not care. SHAME ON ALL T***P SUPPORTERS FOR DEECRATING OUR CONGRESS!
We have several million voters that think this election was rigged and mounds of evidence to prove it. The people’s last best hope for justice should always be our Supreme Court with issues examined openly for ALL TO SEE! An HONEST elections is as important as the nuclear launch codes for NATIONAL SECURITY!!! The Supreme Court should reconsider their refusal to hear this case or all 9 of them needs to give a reason why not that will satisfy millions of Americans Voters on a LIVE nationwide broadcast so comments CAN NOT be edited.
Funny this ended up just playing would have never done that before the election smh. I'm dissapointed
TRUMP CREATES HIS OWN NATIONAL POLITICAL PARTY
Man. Pertaining to Trump finishing out his presidency, almost prophetic.
Nice work, Trumpers.
Do you feel like revising this assessment after the insurrection yesterday? hey Hoover institute where were you on this?
Excellent interview. Refreshing!
The Supreme Court or an electoral commission needs to intervene and agree to look at the evidence so Americans know the TRUTH!!!
Find me 11780 votes.
4 MORE YEARS !!! FIGHT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
BRAVO! Truthful, enlightening, entertaining, educational and mostly heartfelt! Thank you both!👏👏👏👍
This guy is an idiot!!
"The crazies, the irredeemable"...I don't care if these elitist snobs are conservative or not, to call close to 80 million Americans crazy and irredeemable just in the first few minutes of the interview, puts them in the same camp, crazy and irredeemable disingenuous hypocritical elitist snobs. Not worthy of our attention any longer.
I voted for President Trump. Twice. Why? Because you do not send a preacher to a gun fight. You send a fighter like Trump. ‘Christian America’ needs to realize this... All the Mighty Men & Women of scripture did violent acts to protect the masses from tyrannical forms of governments. Our Creator only allowed Yisrael fall due to disobedience to their Elohim Ye’hovah. America needs to clean our hs of lawlessness & wickedness. And call on His name Ye’hovah. Read Malaki. I overlook Trumps disposition because that is better than religious self righteousness. Go Trump!!!!!!!
I have3 pinay rican American citizens born& raised in Rizal City Philippines. Donald John Trump. Propped up Rodrigo Duterte& ressurrected the usa alliance witManila
Trump is a hit in the Philippines. So much for chinese rhetoric Phillippines isa provinvce of China.
How do i get the book? Great story, true leader. D Trump...
