Intro

**This episode was recorded before Victor Davis Hanson's December 30 medical operation**

In this special edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler continue their ranking of the “Sour 16” to determine which issues pose the greatest existential threat to the United States in 2026. We’ve now entered ROUND 2 of the bracket, the “Hate 8.” Here’s the list:

Rogue Nukes versus Ruin of Cities

Gain-of-Function bio-weapon pandemic versus Destruction of the nuclear family

Growth and spread of radical Islam versus Decline of factual education and knowledge

Growth of Irreligiosity and Secularism versus Emasculation of American men

We hope you enjoy!
