Victor Davis Hanson On The State of the Union . . . and a Biden-Trump Rematch | GoodFellows: John H. Cochrane, Niall Ferguson, H.R. McMaster, and Bill Whalen | Hoover Institution

Author: Hoover Institution March 8, 2024 Duration: 1:08:16
Following Super Tuesday’s results, with the US presidential election still the better part of eight months away, a rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is all but certain. Victor Davis Hanson, the Hoover Institution’s Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow and author of the soon-to-be-released book The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation, joins Hoover senior fellows John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster to discuss where Biden and Trump stand on “shrinkflation” and the US economy, America’s involvement in overseas conflicts, plus the likelihood of Democrats replacing a struggling Biden at their August national convention and Trump running a disciplined campaign despite his legal travails.

Every week, three of the Hoover Institution's most incisive minds gather for a freewheeling discussion that cuts through the noise. GoodFellows: Conversations on Economics, History & Geopolitics brings together senior fellows John Cochrane, Niall Ferguson, and H.R. McMaster. Their expertise spans financial markets, historical analysis, and international security, creating a unique dialogue that connects past patterns to present crises and future risks. You'll hear them grapple with the profound social shifts, economic pressures, and strategic realignments defining our era, moving beyond daily headlines to examine the deeper forces at play. This isn't a scripted presentation but a genuine conversation, often punctuated by thoughtful disagreement and unexpected connections. The result is a consistently engaging and substantive podcast that offers listeners a rare blend of scholarly depth and accessible discourse. Tune in for a weekly dose of clarity and long-view perspective on a world that feels perpetually in flux.
