Summary
Will Kingston is joined by renowned historian, author, and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson to dissect a chilling reality: the rapid decline, institutional capture, and self-loathing threatening Western civilisation. Sparked by Vice President JD Vance’s viral remarks on the civilisational crisis unfolding in the United Kingdom, VDH provides an unfiltered, historical lens on the current chaos across the Anglosphere. From the streets of Belfast and Southampton to the failed experiment of California, Hanson argues that the West is facing a nihilistic, internal threat driven by an elite class consumed by "suicidal empathy" and a rejection of traditional values. Hanson also breaks down the geopolitical chess board, discussing Donald Trump’s high-stakes confrontation with Iran, the shattering of Eastern deterrence, and why the ultimate battleground for our survival isn't fought abroad—but at the ballot box and within our own culture. #culturaldecline #geopolitics #ukpolitics #migration #diversityandinclusion Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend Hosted on Acast.
