Episode 8 Critics of the West
Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
For more than two millennia, Westerners have criticized their own culture. Some of these homegrown critics object that Western civilization is unjust because its fruits are not evenly distributed. Others fear that the West has become decadent, having lost touch with the virtues that made it great. These self-critiques are beneficial up to a point, because they prod the West toward greater progress. But when the critics get out of hand, the results can be catastrophic.

Geert Wilders, one of the fiercest defenders of political and cultural sovereignty and certainly one of the most courageous politicians in the world was our guest speaker in Los Angeles on January 10th 2026, here is his speech in full.
We are again honored to host this most remarkable of men, having previously had him delivering the keynote speech at our event in 2017.
Especially at a time such as this where our nation is facing so many of the same threats that Mr. Wilders has been fighting against in the Netherlands.
Europe generally and the Netherlands more acutely can be seen as the canary in the coal mine, warning of nothing less than total collapse in the face of cultural jihad, extreme leftism, and capitulation to globalism.
In short, the national suicide against which Mr. Wilders has been fighting is coming here and it would serve us well to learn what we can from this warrior.

It's become a sort of rule of thumb: the more viciously the media and mainstream politicos attack an individual, the more worthy that individual is of our respect and admiration.
Few are as maligned as Geert Wilders, founder and leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), a politician who believes in the sovereignty of his nation, the right to its cultural heritage, its civil and national integrity.
But the maligning of Mr. Wilders extends far beyond that, he and his party's outspokenness on topics of immigration and Islam in particular have contributed to his being a target for decades of death threats from Islamic organizations.
The extent of security that he and his family live under is extraordinary.
The positions on immigration, Islam, and the EU held by his Party for Freedom of course draw not only threats and invective, but have also propelled it to the forefront of Dutch politics, winning it the plurality in the 2023 elections, translating to the greatest number of seats in Parliament than any other party - 37 out of the possible 150.
The nature of Parliamentary politics, however, in large part minimized the effect that Mr. Wilders and his party could have, and PVV has lost some seats in the last election but Mr. Wilders still received by far the most personal votes of any politician in The Netherlands.
Mr. Wilders continues to be one of the fiercest defenders of the homeland, one of the strongest among a cadre of strong populist, nationalist, sovereigntist leaders throughout Europe who stand against these same issues, the self-same issues that we are facing here, right here, right now.
As we watch Texas being invaded as well as the fall of New York City, it behooves us to take very careful note of the canary in the coalmine, the lessons we can learn from Mr. Wilders and the continued suicide of the Netherlands as one of countless examples.

Episode 7 Why Did America Win Its Wars, And Can It Still?
Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
The American way of war is an especially potent offshoot of the Western military tradition, one that traditionally has deployed overwhelming power to annihilate the enemy and bring the conflict to a quick conclusion. But Americans are restless and impatient, which gives an opening to enemies who can avoid pitched battles. They can defeat us by outlasting us – as happened in Vietnam, and may happen in Afghanistan.

Episode 6 The Genres of Western Learning
Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
The Greeks, as the saying goes, had a word for it – and rules to go with it. Classical authors who worked within a given literary genre always followed those rules, which governed their vocabulary, meter, style, form, content and length. The modern world has rejected these rules in the name of freedom, but this has not served so much to free the author as to confuse him, and his audience too.

Episode 5 The Rise of Islam and its Wars with Europe
Hosted by Victor Davis Hanson
The current tensions between Muslims and the West comprise simply the latest chapter in a long story. Islam spread with extraordinary speed during the first century of its existence, at Christianity’s expense. Later, Islam reached its apogee when the Ottoman sultans pushed their armies to the gates of Vienna. But the tide turned when Christianity came to terms with rationalism, while Islam turned back to fundamentalism when challenged by progress and change.

"A Republic... if you can keep it:" Ben Franklin's words are often cited as a warning regarding the fragility of the nation our Founders had crafted, and at this moment, even as we have so much to celebrate, the fragility is feeling particularly acute.
Dr. Bradley Thayer reminds us of what is at stake, and the truest nature and tactics of our foes.
A celebration, a warning, and an impetus to stand up for the good guys.
*Recorded in Los Angeles CA November 20th 2025
Dr. Bradley Thayer is a Fellow of the American Freedom Alliance and Founding Member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and in that capacity has contributed to countless events including several AFA conferences. Formerly, he was a Special Governmental Employee in the Department of Homeland Security where he contributed to the January 2021 report DHS Strategic Action Plan to Combat the Threat Posed by the People’s Republic of China. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, and Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University. His research focuses on the existential threat to the U.S. from Marxism-Leninism and the Chinese Communist Party.
His expertise, analyses and eloquence on this threat to Western Civilization are crucial to our understanding of this foe, and to our ability to defend against it.
Dr. Thayer’s most recent book is 'Embracing Communist China' which he co-authored with James Fannell.
