Victor Davis Hanson: The Future of California You Don't Want to Know

- Опубликовано: 24 янв 2013
- There's a reason a California official told residents to lock their doors and load their guns. Democrats control two-thirds of the legislature in California and CalWatchdog's Brian Calle asks Victor Davis Hanson about the future of the state.
I thank God I left California in 2010. I was genuinely afraid things would get this bad. I had children I needed to protect from this democrat insanity.
Good for you!!👍
Denise McNamara i left back in 2005, I seen it coming before it went to shit
@@danielrodriguez248 Good for you.👍
Make sire you have plenty of ammunition...
Where did you move to?
I’ve been to Prescott Arizona
It’s beautiful and not hot but my fiancé won’t leave her grown up kids
Yikes
But what is Pelosi from California's focus? Impeachment.
Impeachment is just a distraction from their lackings!
My wife and I left California over four years ago. THANK YOU JESUS 🙏
@Terry Grenke Its also TREASON!
Hopefully you left your liberal ways there to die.....please don't destroy where you are now the same way you did where you left.
I am a Californian, born and raised. My family settled here in 1854. I can't hardly wait to move out when I retire in 7.5 years.
Good luck.
I can't wait for you to leave too. Your kind are the ones who make this state WORSE.
J. Eric Sandoval retired he’ll move into more square footage than most KAlifornians will ever see. Enjoy your wealth of taxes. Lovely.
You love fascism, don't you?
J. Eric Sandoval why because they are honest? Or is it because he is white and in your shallow mind all whites are racist?
Arresting people costs money.
Ticketing people makes money.
To Serve and Protect
Now
To Ticket and Collect.
Arrests cost tax payers money, corporate jails are the benefactor crime does pay, the company that contracts jails and prison
most police departments have taken "to serve and protect" off their cars.
Us Californians who want to live here but can't afford to because of the insane greed, incompetence and corruption in our Bolshevik state Govt. will leave and the tax base will collapse as it has in Illinois where the taxpaying workers are leaving in mass..
Rebel with a cause I make good money and I left Chicago, with great sadness, 3 years ago for that reason. So sad.
I would love to do a comparison to square footage cost in the great state of socialism Kalifornia to the rest of the country
It the voters.
Rebel with a cause so true my good California is going in the toilet. Because of greed
My entire family including brothers and sisters have left the state. We were all high-income earners and now we are gone. I hope the state collapses into complete anarchy.
My prediction for California -- 1 percent living in the lap of luxury and everyone else living in tent shitties, I mean cities.
No, you are right. Hell-a and San Franshitsco has turned to shit because all the homeless have nowhere to go to use the bathroom, and they are all living in tents or on the streets.
I left Cali 8 months ago and moved to America🇺🇸
Me too! I’m here in Nevada now and I absolutely love it.
I left a week ago. No regrets. No sadness. No hesitation.
Hope you didn't take your liberal if you were a liberal , bullshit way of thinking to another state to ruin it...!
We need to get out ASAP!
I’m glad you got out. Please please don’t vote liberal democrat wherever you are now and turn your new home into what the Democrats turned California 😳 Please!
At one time back in the mid 70’s I was thinking about moving out there. Glad now I didn’t. California wanted god out of the state, they got it and now they are burning in hell out there.
Thats the whole country now. Itll be one big California
Retiring outside of the state. I cannot afford to live here in my own apartment and certainly not when not working.
Don't let this happen to the rest of the Nation.
Artty 1975 I grew up in the SF Bay Area hell hole. 50 years ago it was a nice place. Now we're just wish somebody would flush that toilet. Governor Moonbeam isn't helping it any.
I was raised in Colorado and moved before the Californian wave in the 90's. When I visit it's sad to see the same is happening there too.
Charlie Gaston legalization messed up there?
It is amazing how Californians leave the state because of the oppressive financial load that the socialist government has created and then they introduce the same stupid policies in their new home states.
Ken Sousa kind of like muslims that leave sharia law states then immigrate to westernised countries and push for sharia.
Really sad.
My sentiments exactly. That's why I don't go back to visit.
White middle class have almost all left Cali.
Last one out of California turn out the lights.....
WHAT LIGHTS ?
@Steven Yount: Exactly.What lights? PG&E has been bankrupt for years. The lights you now see are massive wildfires burning all the remaining vegetation.
Regards
Stephen Yount ha ha lights/power is already being shut off LMAO
Well, I left California and moved to the mid west. What a incredible relief to be out of California.
VERY VERY SAD 😭 WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THIS STATE. UNREAL.
I can attest to the tickets issued in CA
Vernon Steinkamp and yet people speed all over the place with impunity. CHP can't control it.
@ Asian guy pull your head out of your ass. People speed because the speed limit is ridiculously slow.
@ Vernon Steinkamp Check out "you don't need a license to drive" on RUclips. Also go to rule of law radio with Eddie Craig. It looks like we don't need to obey the traffic laws or pay their fines. This video is also important. ruclips.net/video/YJ4c5atUjsE/видео.html
MAKE CALIFORNIA MEXICO .......DAMN SHAME IT WAS A GREAT STATE ,,,,,,,SOON IT WILL BE A HOLE IN THE DIRT
Jeff Goodman I don’t mind y’all coming to Texas or Oklahoma just as long as your passing through and not staying
Born in CA left when my parents moved.They could see the hand writing on the wall.It breaks my heart to see what has happened there.It is a certain sign that progressiveism is a sure path to poverty and social chaos.
Watching the same thing happen in Illinois, too. And VDH is one of my favorite geniuses!
I commuted to my airline job from Reno and avoided Kalifornia. I loved backpacking and scuba diving and kayaking there, but the government is a disaster. I voted with my feet.....now Wyoming.
I’m actually dealing with this very same issue. If you are a landlord in California, pray that you aren’t near any of the “grey areas”
These are areas that law enforcement refuse to police and generally is where:
1) homeless congregate
2) illegal dumping is found
3) trespassing is prohibited
I live near a creek that has turned into a nightmare; garbage everywhere, seedy characters camping, and all under MUNICIPAL signs clearly indicating “NO TRESPASSING”
Every time there is an incident and the neighbors have called the PD, the response is always the same...
“We know about the encampment.”
“We know about the dumping.”
“We know about the drugs.”
Can you move beautiful California to somewhere else? Im being facetious but you get my point.
Here's the problem:
We are paying taxes to have these enforcement services. The services are not being performed. If someone was bold & courageous enough to 'do something' about a situation like this and gets arrested and charged, it would be within their rights to turn around and sue the authority with jurisdiction for "criminal negligence" or "dereliction of duty". If they admit publicly that they know about illegal activity, and aren't doing anything about it, it's legally admissible that they assume liability for any harm resulting from such criminal activity.
What happens to a contractor who takes money for a job and doesn't do it?
A lot of things in the legal world are more about the state getting money than people being punished.
Scott Golden That's why I don't think revenue from penalties such as tickets should be part of the regular operating budget. It should be considered surplus.
@@juanitadudley4788
The tickets should go to the jurisdiction's court system, not the PD. We pay taxes to fund the PDs.
@@HuntingTarg Don't taxes fund the court system, too?
Never thought I'd live to say this: I'm a proud [born 'n' raised] Kentuckian !!!!
Hey folks, it's the end of the America we loved; now, it's every man for himself, thanks to the liberals. God bless President Trump 2020 !
Living every day like it's my last.
@Michel Foucault XVI I quit giving a fuck a long time ago. But one thing I'm not gonna do is give up. I've been a good human for a long time and I as well as the rest of the "normal people" deserve better.
@Michel Foucault XVI There is one in every comment section. Here its you.
@Michel Foucault XVI So what are you saying other than Trump is Liberal Jew puppet? Our world is on fire. What is your solution? Are you right or left or something else? It matters.
@@stonerpage3100 Yeah brother.. That part right there..
My folks moved me to CA in 1980 when I was 15. I hated it from the start. Dropped out of H.S., moved out of state with what would've been my senior year and never looked back. Best decision I ever made, turned out just fine. CA is a toilet.
So relieved I don't live there. I know someone that moved there from Minnesota, haven't heard from him for sometime I'm sure he'll be moving back before long.
That is if he hasn't been gunned down already or without a device due to homelessness.
I'd rather freeze my ass off in St. Paul with you playing hockey and drinking hot cocoa then tanning myself at Pismo Beach with these nuts. Country went to hell. Sad part is there are still WW2 vets alive who must be saying to themselves.....WTF!!
Happened to me in Hayward Ca
Last 2 moving violations
1st was failure to come to complete stop at 3 way intersection.
Cop was staking it out
Disgusting $ ticket no one else around. Told the cop off!
Next was right turn at intersection
Camera ticket.
Cops will only enforce laws against individuals who can pay.
Not about safety
Its only about revenue stream.
I have learned that in traffic school years... California is broke and they need the traffic violators' money...
The homeless can break the law without any consequences. They have no money.
"The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money to spend."-Margaret Thatcher
The Curse of Tolerance: Cultural Erosion
There was a time when California was likely the best place in the World to live for even the average person... Those days are dead and gone forever😥
Lock your doors and load your guns lol I’m Canadian and can’t imagine living like that ✌🏻🇨🇦
We need to finally fix these problems. Build the border wall, enforce our immigration laws, fine companies who hire illegals and give various means to any immigrants willing to pay fines to work toward legalizing their status. Do not simply fine and penalize the illegal immigrant but also fine and penalize these companies. Millions of Americans have had our leverage concerning wages and opportunities for jobs undercut by companies, nationwide, who hire cheap and illegal labor. The California problems are replicating nationwide.
Jesse Lopez I agree but we need a moratorium on immigration in general to bring up wages. We have enough people in this country currently. We don't need anyone else.
Jesse Lopez
Corporations call the shots now. These are national, if not global, problems. Nothing to do with California.
Jesse Lopez I agree
They will not end any time soon either. Liberalism is a mental disorder and highly contagious. Look at almost every major city, liberal shit holes.
Were it not for companies which HIRE illegal aliens and other NON-CITIZENS, we would not have this problem.
Fly forward to 2019... He nailed it. Look at the mess they have gotten us into...
There are parts in the San Fernando Valley that bear a resemblance to Guadalajara. Iron gates wall-off some auto sale lots and auto repair shops along Sepulveda Blvd.
This video is 4 years old. I wonder how many of the predictions he made came true
wally perez ,,, ALL.... but fortunately Trump came in with the tighter border and tighter controls on immigration. We are now seeing HUGE reductions in illegals using social services for free. I’m hearing 70% reductions from teachers and people inside the social services.
Yahoo!!!!
Alot of them, Adam Carolla was explaining it very similarly in his podcast about a year ago.
wally perez
all
Trump is going to gain hugely for this
Well he may have needed Cal Fire this year lol.
Damn. And it used to be so nice.
I escaped in 1991 , I most likely owe a tax for that ! My Great grand parents arrived in a covered Wagon I am thankful they aren't here to see the cesspool that is CALI !
Commenting only on VDH and the column on "..Boston bombings....deportations..."
Bravo, VDH. Most Americans are sick of immigrants, legal and illegal.
Most _White_ Americans. African-Americans love to mix with them.
Lanskee, I haven't seen anything that supports that assertion about all immigrants. But I know quite a few people who aren't happy with illegal immigrants being here.
How many fleas can a dog stand?
pesterburr1 .... if I could post you a picture you would be surprised..... sadly California is still going to take on a lot more fleas before it finally kills over and dies.
pesterburr1 can fleas feast on a dead dog? These are Democrats we are talking about.
More like blood sucking ticks...Poli..meaning many..ticks meaning blood sucking. Poli-ticks.
pesterburr1 0 fleas
Lemmy Fuque do you mean hollyweird
people get the government they deserve
Not really, you have to look at politics like the tide, when it gets bad, time to move.
Except Mexico.
peter cullen .. people get the type of government they allow to govern them. It's up to all of us to be an educated voter and find out what they are doing in our name.
to Peter Cullen: "people get the government they deserve" but not when illegal aliens are voting and cancelling out the votes of American citizens, then the illegals will drain the money dry from those who work and produce an income! In April 2018, all who get a California Driver's license will be registered to vote. Where was the American citizens voice in this asinine decision. Your use of the word 'people' and 'government' is careless and deceitful This shouldn't happen in a Republic!!
peter cullen
people get the government they been brain washed to vote for
I will not even drive through the state. Pathetic mishandling of state and city government
Sucks to love in california! Going the way of Chicago and Detroit. Moved out of there just in time.
fence in chicago, all liberals, welcome to your new home, enjoy
Oregon is WAaaayyyy too close to this tragedy, and it's really starting to affect us as any gangrene would.
I was just in Oregon. There are TONS of people from California there.
Victor Hanson has more sense than most people.
Meanwhile the “minority-bid-only contractors” aka Mexican national billionaire contractors who have a “racism pass” are working 7am-6:00pm DAILY to instal ADA COMPLIANT sidewalk ramps/mats at a feverish pace before the bankruptcy is declared. I watch the criminal activity DAILY in San Diego . 🔨👳🏿👍🏻
Jake Hammer
WOW!! thank you!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i left... smartest thing i ever did
The metal grid covers in gutters for water runoff are being stolen, in Stockton
Work & lived there. After the bankruptcy, it became common knowledge that you can get away with any traffic violation between 11am & 1pm since no SPD Traffic enforcement exists. I know several Fire Fighters who fled to other municipalities to spare their PERS Entitlements.
Vernon Steinkamp you have got to be kidding.
Pasadena has a type of old street light, the poles of which have a high bronze content, and they sometimes are ripped off and scrapped. Unfortunately the crooks are often caught only after these poles have been melted down.
Communism always ends in starvation and people crying in the street. Thats California
Socialism is where you vote your way in and shoot your way out. Sounds like a joke but world history says otherwise. Any wonder why the left is all for gun confiscation?
@@rrudydedogg3779 ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. Socialism always fails and always will because it appeals to the criminally and morally corrupt.
Leviticus 26:29
California truly “call it phony”.
And this was almost seven years ago. Worse now, I imagine.
You imagine correctly
I. Will never vacation in California!
I'm glad I left San Bernardino and California back in 89.
AND that Pension system is, was, and has, and could have been, and CAN be easily, functionally, paid for.
To the wealthy: PAY YOUR TAX as EVERYBODY ELSE does!
Hold on Mr. Hanson. As a retired CHP officer I know that, as an organization the CHP receives absolutely NO money from any citations we write EXCEPT from vehicle registration violations. That's how we are paid, from vehicle registration fees (ok, taxes). Money from any other kind of violation goes to the city and/or the county the citation was issued and a small amount go to the state (I honestly don't know what the amount is). To say that those citations fund our retirement and our pay is not true and I have to believe that he knows better.
If you don’t understand the concept of “Order Out Of Chaos” than no of this makes sense. The plan is to make life a living hell to the point where you will accept any solution the government offers with the idea that they will make things better. Humans crave consistency and order which is their downfall. Humans have created their own complacency hell. This is an opportunity for ordinary men and women to rise up and find out they are extraordinary. Some will fold in and mentally collapse but watch out for those that find inner motivation, wisdom, guidance and strength. That’s when things get interesting.
and soon, CA's indebtedness will have them demanding that the rest of us pay those debts...never as much as now does this country need a severe depression to reset the collective morality, law and order...will be a huge fallout, but ultimately we will be less "tolerant" which is what got us in trouble in the first place
norris pg: Insightful. Sadly, it may have to go there!
it is sad, but if there is another way possible to right the ship please tell me what that is
Follow political candidates who have a track record of fiscal responsibility and restraint as well as that of cutting taxes. If they run for office, try and vote for them. It's a start!
norris pg So you are advocating a severe depression as a remedy .
Ita a trillion dollar economy. Only TX can pay CA's debt
There are many CALPERS and CALSTRS pensioners that pull down over 300k a year. Insane.
6.5K Thumbs UP ... 174 Thumbs DOWN. How does this situation continue to exist ??
Born and raised in California, cant wait for it to fall in the ocean when cascadia goes off
Yup, I've called this for years and have seen it first hand, this is happening in Oregon as well. The laws only apply to those who have cash and assets, don't have anything for the state to take, you will likely be let out of whatever infraction you committed.
Can’t wait to retire and get the hell out of the libdem state!.......hopefully with my pension! It really sucks being a conservative in a super liberal state!
Will do......thanks
The people's republic of Mexifornia.
More like the Union Of Soviet Socialist Counties of Commiefornia.
Why don’t all Californians vote against nonsense?
And it's the richest state in the USA?
Brainwashed, stupid or dead! Calimorons!
YOU voted for this, CA.
VDH is right up there with Jordan Peterson. Need more like them in our local, state and federal governments.
This was published 5 years ago. Love to hear an update
A friend of mine moved out there a few years back...he lives in Arizona now.
The only circumstance which can save Kalif-ornia is the St. Andreas Fault cracks.
Means it time to get the hell out.
This was 5 years ago. Talk about bang on.
The future of California: it's going down the toilet!!!! 'Nuff said.
Soon the foreign troops will come and do so through california. Good luck homeless and liberal people
if you leave California be considerate and learn about the politics to where you go
Amen !
Excellent content!
Just subscribed!!!
I hate to say it, but one of our best presidents, Ronald Reagan, qave the the wonderful state of California to the Democrat party as a gift, by granting amnesty for millions of illegals. Which forever, changed the State from Red to Blue...
Nobody cares about the state of california anymore.
We should because our tax dollars go there everyday.
First get robbed by the Federal Government and then by the local Government. By by car, by by holidays, by by eating out.
incredible interview
So why do you keep voting the dems back into office
Most people out here don't know whats going on.They just go to work,come home,and on election day,are told to vote Democrat.I walked from the Democrat Party and voted for Trump.You can only eat so much crap
Minorities, white women and voter fraud! That's how they get in.
It's a problem because it's finally reached him.
5th Gen Calif. here. Left my State in 1991. Never looked back. Am I sad ? Yes ! Do I miss my home State ? Yes ! Will I return. ? Only to visit friends and Talk about the way things used to be.
You moved to what state please ? I cant wait to get out of CA by this fall.
Nevada. And I love it.
Cities in California have employees drove police cars around town to give the impression that there is police protection. When in fact the cities are short handed of police.
“ What Are We All Teaching In “ All “Our “Public “Schools
“Today “To “All “Our “Children???”
Hypocracy
"To whom it may concern? California government spent it all! Check it out?
two months ago, I was dropped off on I 10 at a truck stop. I went looking for Grayhound. None was there. So I tried to thumb ride to the 3rd town down the road. When a Highway Patrolman stopped. He called me a Tramp-bum. And threaten to "take my ass" to jail. Anyhow, I did what I was told. I moved back away from the on ramp of I 10. I am 83 years, and WALKed 15 miles to that town. I NEVER want to go to Calif . They can keep their Mexican patrol officer, and KOA!!!
....... that Vase on the bureau is beautiful......
Oh my god is chaos out there indeed, I’m so glad I left 😄
This is alarming and worrisome. The reference to user tax and police enforcement ticketing is a disgrace and visually notable. Wonder if there are references to back up these numbers. The political landscape won't change any time soon and moving won't help. Between incarceration, taxes, and lawlessness not sure where to go. Texas, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Washington, etc are a no for us. Maybe Puerto Rico when is fixed.
Thanks Joe. I needed that.
I grew up in California in the 50's and 60's. Unchecked immigration and cruddy Governors were not
like these traitors that are allowing Mexico to take over California! California was an American paradise!
Glad I left! Absolute pit now! Good luck finding a parking spot!
Stop moving to Utah and then complaining that it's not just like California. YOU LEFT CALIFORNIA FOR A REASON. We like being debt free and having full employment.
Its a beautiful thing to witness. 🤗🤗
I was a Real Estate Broker in California until 2008 when sales made a large drop. In 2014 The state of California sent me a bill for income taxes in the amount of $5,000? I had not worked in Calif since 2008? Go Figure! The tax lady finally told me it was because I had a Real Estate license and "should of earned at least that much income ? After a hastle with her she finally tokd me the truth that the taxes due was an amount picked from air.... Many of the money makers are leaving California and the state isn't collecting taxes so they are simply making up an amount for the California Citizens to pay it!
This is stealing by Progressives.
Simple create a public bank like North Dakota who has never run a deficit since 1919
I escaped in '06. Once California collapses, the federal government should not simply bail them out. Occupy them and put them under martial law.
You’re deranged! You are calling for Civil War.
Once the state collapses, Martial Law will be the only thing that prevents California from turning into a MAD MAX themepark.
I left California in 1989 when I was 20 years old. When I found out my lock blade knife I would only carry with me fishing and camping was illegal and could get me a felony. Well I kept my knife quit my job and moved to Nevada. I'm sorry my native state has only gotten worse.
I've lived in Caliornia for 50 years. It gets incrementally worse in some way (new tax, new gun law, new fee, etc.) every year and in the last 20 years the laws and regulation have become a flood. On my block the houses were built in 1964, owned by people who bought new or were the second owner, and now those houses are owned by the relatives who inherited the houses. I moved here in 2016 to take care of my ailing parents. In the 3 years i've lived here, 9 of the 14 houses have been sold off by the ones who inherited them, 3 in the last MONTH. There's a hundred reasons to GTFO of the Peoples Republic of California and really only one to hang around (weather. Seriously, that's the only good reason not to flee - WEATHER). Every other element to the equation (state taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, DMV fees, highway congestion, crime, vandalism aimed at cars and houses, idiotic laws, etc. etc.) gets worse not only by the year but often by the MONTH - it almost seems like a deliberate effort by the despotic leadership of the state to actively DRIVE PEOPLE OUT OF THE STATE... i'll put it this way, you could not do a better job at "encouraging" people to flee the state even if you were deliberately trying. Califoronia HAS no future, no matter what the delusional talking head on TV or idiotic politician claims - those who don't flee are certain to see some kind of massive targeted real estate nose-dive, super-earthquake, economic collapse, or maybe even the perfect-storm type disaster that combines ALL OF THE ABOVE - that'll make the comparison of the real-estate crunch of 2008 seem like comparing a speed bump to a massive 2,000 car pile-up, on the same freeway that's jammed up from San diego to Lancaster with stop-and-go 365 days a year!
