58 分钟And if at times we disagree,
our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which we are connected,
not just economically, not just militarily.
We are connected spiritually, and we are connected culturally.
We want Europe to be strong.
We believe that Europe must survive.
Because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history's constant reminder.

It's Tuesday, February 24th, 2026, and welcome back to Goodfellows,
a Hoover Institution broadcast examining matters of history, economics, and geopolitics.
I'm Bill Whelan.
I'm a Distinguished Policy Fellow here at the Hoover Institution.
I'll be the moderator of this show today,
looking forward to a spirited conversation featuring three of my colleagues whom we jokingly refer to as the Good Fellows.
I'm referring, of course, to the historian Sir Neil Ferguson,
economist John Cochran, and former presidential national security advisor Lieutenant General H.R.
McMaster.
Neil, John, and H.R.
are all Hoover's senior fellows.
Gentlemen, good to see you, and I have three items for you to discuss today.
