Hanson asks about Mark Carney, and The Daily Signal scores twice
A second Victor Davis Hanson video in as many days is carrying the conservative outlet's channel, which is otherwise running below its normal pace.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 673,596 views a day, 43 times a normal first day on this channel (15,730).
Victor Davis Hanson: Why Is Mark Carney Preparing for an American Invasion?
Six hours after it went up, the newest Victor Davis Hanson video on The Daily Signal had passed a quarter of a million views. At that pace, its first day would come to roughly forty times what a new upload here usually draws.
The rest of the channel is quieter than usual, so one video is doing most of the lifting. It is also the second Hanson video in a row to do so. A day earlier, "Victor Davis Hanson: If Iran Cracks, the World Will Never Be the Same" was the busiest thing on the channel. Now a question about Canada has taken over.
The title asks why Mark Carney is preparing for an American invasion. That premise is the video's own. Hanson is a classicist and military historian at Stanford's Hoover Institution, and he has long written about how wars begin and how they are fought. Carney arrived in Canadian politics from central banking, having led both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. A historian of war weighing in on a banker-turned-politician's defense worries is the pairing this title offers.
