Uncommon Knowledge
For more than two decades the Hoover Institution has been producing Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, a series hosted by Hoover fellow Peter Robinson as an outlet for political leaders, scholars, journalists, and today’s big thinkers to share their views with the world. Guests have included a host of famous figures, including Paul Ryan, Henry Kissinger, Antonin Scalia, Rupert Murdoch, Newt Gingrich, and Christopher Hitchens, along with Hoover fellows such as Condoleezza Rice and George Shultz. “Uncommon Knowledge takes fascinating, accomplished guests, then sits them down with me to talk about the issues of the day,” says Robinson, an author and former speechwriter for President Reagan. “Unhurried, civil, thoughtful, and informed conversation– that’s what we produce. And there isn’t all that much of it around these days.” The show started life as a television series in 1997 and is now distributed exclusively on the web over a growing network of the largest political websites and channels.

You are all focusing on race. The message the Democrats push reminds us of the Socialists and Communists that ruined our countries of origin. That simple. Stop the race hustle and listen to learn.
A Podcast on Common Irrelevant Knowledge
1 day ago
Is it really an “Unknown Knowledge” to anticipate the potential end of humanity with the designers of this race to the finish phenomena 🤔 Seems the rendezvous is near not because of the biblical narratives, rather decades of destructive foreign policies which have lined up the pockets of your billionaire guest profiting from war machines. Disappointingly simplistic topics. No time to waste no more 🧻

Let Her Speak Peter
Oct 18
Peter - you are a rockstar in so many ways but you have to learn to take a breath and let your guests speak and make their point before you cut them off. You interrupted the great and graceful Condoleezza Rice at least half a dozen times and it was painful to experience as a listener. And, it’s inconsiderate — especially to someone as experienced and respected as Ms. Rice. Take a beat and trust that you’ll get your point across; once she’s made hers.
