Top 5 of 2021 Day 2: During this Christmas season, we\'re sharing some of our favorite interviews of the year to allow our team to take time off for the holidays.

What does it mean to be an American citizen today?

Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a professor emeritus at California State University, joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to talk about citizenship and other topics covered in his new book \\u201cThe Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America.\\u201d

A bestselling author and one of The Daily Signal\\u2019s most popular columnists, Hanson\\u2019s latest book serves as a wake-up call for citizens to take their responsibility seriously.

\\u201cI think we have to just take a deep breath and say, \\u2018We have to reassert citizenship,\'\\u201d Hanson says. \\u201cWe\\u2019re starting to see it with local school boards, where somebody, somehow, thought that either school bureaucrats or locally elected people are not responsible for the will of the voters who either elected them or they were hired by elected officials through that vote. And yet parents are starting to object and hold them accountable.\\u201d

Hanson also reflects on historical comparisons to the tumultuous year 2020. And he explains why, despite the challenges we face today, he remains optimistic about America\\u2019s future.
