History in the News Episode 3: Lessons from California

This is the third video in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson In this episode:
People used to write hit songs about the wonder that was California. Not any more. How did a state with so much inherited and natural wealth manage to squander its advantages? Do the math: California has some of the highest taxes in the nation, yet it also has the worst services, public infrastructure and schools. By over-regulating its businesses, putting it natural resources off limits, allowing unions to control its schools and public employees, and letting in millions of illegal aliens, Californians have nearly impoverished their once-wealthy state.

History in the News Episode 2: The 21st American Century

This is the second of 8 videos in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson.  In this episode:
Some people insist that America's global influence is on the wane. Yet billions of people around the world will log onto Facebook today, or do a search on Google, or order something from Amazon. These brands are the Levis and Coca-Cola of the current generation - expressions of American popular culture that have enormous global appeal. And our popular culture is a reflection of a unique Constitution that promotes freedom and merit. Add to that the further advantage of our great natural wealth, and it is hard to credit all those gloomy predictions about America's inevitable decline.

History in the News Episode 1: Why Germany Finally Won Europe

This is the first of 8 podcasts in the AFA "History in the News" series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson.  In this episode:
From Roman times through the 20th century, Europeans confronted the recurring challenge of how to contain German dynamism. This proved impossible in 1914 and 1939. The problem disappeared during the Cold War, when Germany was divided. Now, with the USSR defunct, Germany reunited, the EU crumbling and NATO nearly senile, Germany seems more unrestrained than ever.
