In connection with the release of Encounter Books’ Vox Populi: The Perils and Promises of Populism, I interviewed the author of one its more provocative essays, the often-contrarian and always-compelling Professor Victor Davis Hanson.

During our discussion we discuss among other things:

• The populism of President Trump
• The insights President Trump has into the American people that his political opponents lack
• The significance of the 2016 presidential election in history and what it augurs for the world
• Whether Trumpism is a full-blown political movement or an outlier in U.S. history
• How Trump is doing when it comes to constructing the four core pillars of Trumpism
• Russiagate and Deep State subversion
• And much more
