Summary: <p>Episode 99: Victor Davis Hanson discusses the damaging disclosure about Obama keeping tabs on the FBI Hillary Clinton email investigation, State Department unmasking, why Hillary's and Obama's hubris may be their own downfall and how this can very well be a Watergate or Iran-Contra type scandal.

What did Victor have to say about 'elites' including George Will, Bret Stephens, and Bill Kristol? We conclude the hour with his thoughts on how to decentralize America's and world governing bodies and bring them closer to the people they supposedly represent.</p><p>'VDH' is an American military historian, columnist, a former classics professor, and scholar of ancient warfare.
