California residents who have rooms or rental properties are saying they are afraid to rent them out even temporarily to people in need because CA laws protect squatters. Just another way CA politicians failed the people.
@jimmydm3 the people in NC do not recognize the landscape it has changed so much. Rivers changed course. The whole landscape changed. It is rural you moron. The stores that sell trash bags are gone. The stores that sell lumber are gone. Your “question “ shows just how much you know about the situation in Western North Carolina.
He was simply too giddy talking about his "Marshall Plan for LA 2.0" for me to not think that Newsom, Bass and the rest of his cronies aren't culpable for ensuring Ca. burned. To me it looks exactly like a real estate scheme. Anyone who advocates for him to continue in office MUST be part of a CIA/deep state mind-control experiment.
Thank you Victor Davis Hanson for your insight. An honest, credible source who we can depend on. It's so devastating! And disgusting! Newsom and Bass need to be thrown out of power and hauled off to prison!
You talked about trump’s requirements for federal funding but neglected to include the most important one in order to make real change. There must be voter ID laws passed before any real policies will be implemented. California has held captive by far-left politicians for decades that have destroyed this beautiful state that I call home
Requiring Voter ID would probably help in the Congressional elections in 2 years as the Demonrats would not be able to cheat so easily and the R's would win more House seats helping the R's to keep control of Congress and giving Trump 2 additional years to implement Common Sense
Voter IDs will not make a difference because all illegals will be given voter IDs. They used to have to show a driver's license. Then they stopped requiring it because it was considered racist. But for just in case, they gave CDL to all illegals. They'll be giving them all real IDs too.
I'm glad the Hollywood lefties were the ones who got most destroyed by fires... they demanded cuts to all public services for years... defunt police etc.... they reaped the whirlwind
Yeah as long as I can walk around and smile and laugh like they've been doing why f****** not it's a joke ! I live in Chicago a damn f****** lucky they didn't burn my house down my family living in a f****** car pretty soon to be told to move along!
I have never voted for Governor Newsom, Adam Schiff, or any of these awful politicians, yet I know people who have and will again. They believe the propaganda.
Why was Trump practically embracing Newsom after trashing him just days before? And then making that idiotic comment about the trees taking up water at the top but no water at the bottom. The *great* USA never built or bought a salt water bomber like Canada has, and *sold* to 11 countries including Australia? Trump also said Europe doesn't get forest fires. And he had called Kamala dumb! SMH.
Please Democrat Californians, don't move to the Midwest. Colorado & Wyoming already have to many of you & your are changing are states for red to blue. If you can't learn from history, don't make us repeat it, with you. Denver & Boulder & all the ski areas have pushed Colo Blue & your not good for us.
@@apestaartjegeluk7706 What? Unfortunately, idiots, morons and drug addicts also VOTE. Over 72 million of them voted for Kacklin Kamala and her imbecile side-kick from Minnesota.
Thank you, Victor. I'm sure President Trump has his eye on this. The people better rise up and demand the leaders of their state to step down...immediately
I read comments on another YT channel where these Californian idiots were congratulating Newson on his wonderful explanation and work he is doing, so no he ain't resigning anytime soon.
Yeah but he doesn't understand the wildfire problem in Socal has nothing to do with lack of water or the governor or DEI hires, it has to do with building codes that continue to allow people to build homes out of wood.....they keep doing it. over and over.
Im here in CA and theres barely any updating going on here. You're the only person covering this which I am amazed. They're treating it like oh no big deal why would we be interested. Why would we cover this? I am flabbergasted!!!!
They're not covering it because they're ashamed and embarrassed. I mean, if you crapped your pants at school, would you keep announcing it every hour throughout the day, and would you wear the same dirty pants to school all week telling everyone you crapped in them on last Monday? Their not covering it is an admission of their shame and disgrace.
Can somebody explain to us how the state with the highest GDP $3,200,000,000,000,000 trillion Receiving the highest taxpayer funded aid $162,900,000,000 billion that can’t manage their water system has The audacity to ask for more money???
And give 50 million of taxpayer money to Trump proof the state. I believe there is a lot of money being laundered in this state to fake non-profits and other criminal enterprises.
@@harlandfriendofgod6108 that is how many were under evacuation orders at some point. I think the total homes lost is more than 15,000 and an average of 3 residents per house.
The California that my grandparents helped build, all of whom moved there during the depression, no longer exists. My Mom and Dad both grew up, worked and raised a family there. Very sad. I left in 1987 and never looked back.
Sad & tragic; what the leaders "Dereliction of duty" has allowed to happen to beautiful, awesome California! 😢 this breaks my heart as we had many happy and prosperous years in So Cal❤ , still have family there! ( extremely concerned about their safety🫣!) The worst part of this is ( I believe ) it all could have been prevented with better priorities by the management ! They certainly had the money/ funds (taxes alone are extremely high in California) plus all the subsidies 'managers' claim from the federal government! !?WHERE DID THE MONEY GO?!!
Thank you Mr. Victor Davis Hanson. I look forward to your podcast every day. You are one of the few people that I can trust to deliver the news. Thank you
Watching Newsom rocking side to side while extolling LA2 you have to ask dose the USA have a Nero or a total psychopath This is the choice for California, but from the outside it dose not look nice
When they start re-zoning these devastated communities for condo/apt development, you'll realize their plan. Even so, why would insurance companies come anywhere near this situation until water & forest management policies change?
As a Brit one can only wonder why there is no accountability for clear incompetence and dereliction of duty so sad the people of Cali deserve much much better
Great insights. Same people, same outcomes. Average tax payers in the USA don’t want to build back multimillion $ homes, with federal tax money, when so many don’t even own a home themselves.
Newsom thinks he’s at Club Med. Prison time for him . He drained much needed water to save a single species in the middle of dry and dangerous conditions. I lived in the 80’s and 90’s off Encinal Canyon Road, Malibu. . I’m just furious!
Remember… CA citizens vote for BASS and NEWSOM. LA CITY could have elected RICK CARUSO…. And NEWSOM elected and SURVIVED a recall! These voters keep these folks in office!
Born and lived in So.California for 65 years...left two years ago. I believe the voting has been rigged for 20 years. When Newsom got in for another term, I said I'm out. I was just back there last week after the Altadena fire. The state is in meltdown phase...so very sad. It's the most beautiful landscape in the country, but I believe the state is being intentionally destroyed. Feel grateful to be out, but it will always be my home. 😢
Thank you Mr. Hanson, you are a very wise, educated man. California is in deep trouble right now and what’s sad is that Newsom and Bass along with all the other lazy officials out there could care less. They will probably end up refusing oceanfront permits now, and will build Dubai-like hotels along the stretch of Malibu, and like you said European type villages that only the elite can afford. I’m afraid this is it for CA. I lived there for 47 years and have retired to New England. Life is good here❤I left for the very reasons that are still going on. No water, constant fear of fires and total mismanagement. It’s gotten so much worse. Loving Maine❤come join us.
Yep, there are tons of people who are salivating at the thought of transforming that area, artificially creating their walkable city utopia where you’ll own nothing and you better be happy
It's not that Newsome and the rest didn't plan to fill the reservoirs. It's that they planned not to fill the reservoirs. Big difference. Incompetence is just the excuse they use when caught. They know exactly what they are doing and why; so just look at the result, and you'll know their intentions.
yo..Maui. geoengineering,, then directed energy, then microwave plasma. then the bullshit. I was one of the last that stayed. I moved to Maui at 15 by myself. used to sneak into the Pioneer inn for sleep. then my life really began. aloha from , this month its the south shore, oh yeah..phuck fema
I would like to know where the fires are coming from. Example. In one city, the fire started in 3 different places at the same time. They are across town from each other. That is not natural, and the other fires are NOT spitting at that city to start 3 fires at the same time. SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS BEHIND THIS FOR A REASON.
@neilreynolds3858 but to have 3 fires start spreading and doing damage at the same time would have 3 homeless people conspiring together to get that done. I just don't see 3 homeless people doing that.
Don't know if this Incompetence or Evil, or both! Shameful! People, we have to stop electing these fools & start choosing people on the basis of competence, skilll & clearly- understood plan & policy! Otherwise, we'll keep getting what we keep getting: incompetence &/or evil, or both! Enough! Thank you, Mr. Hanson!
The problem is figuring out who wants to change things, and who SAYS they want to change things. If people are willing to lie, and are GOOD at it, it gets very hard to the truth-tellers from the liars.
Having been a native Californian I’ve seen that state become something I hardly recognize … why is it that those who want to destroy it have always been voted into power?? So thankful I left there when I did!
@@richardenders6606 Insurance companies looked at the risks, and state law mandating coverage rates, even if the amount they would have to pay out was MUCH higher, and a whole lot of them refused to cover people. The companies basically said Hell No, and people were NOT covered when this fire happened. So, the Millionaires will have enough to rebuild, because they're basically self-insured, as in, they can pay for it out of pocket, but anyone normal (and there were a LOT of those people in these areas) or actually retired or poor, will likely have to move out and won't be rebuilding.
I was born and raised in the Saddleback Mountains, which is so bucolic and charming, comparatively speaking. We finally left on Christmas Day, 2021, because I was tired of the winds, the dry, crunchy hills, and Edison turning off our electricity every time the winds hit. Which is a LOT. I can not tell you how OVERJOYED I am to no longer live in CA!! I do not miss it one bit!! I refused to pay taxes to these idiots who plan evil all day long. They always win, no matter how we all voted! When does everyone say, "ENOUGH! I'm out of here!" Vote with your feet and leave! Before you lose everything!
geoengineering, then dew, then microwave plasma..we know the recipe..aloha from Maui. also look at..chinas one road. the 15 minute city is the muscle for this project.
I worked in the insurance and reinsurance industry and 25 years ago I wrote that California had to upgrade their building codes for fire as they did for earthquakes. The first thing you have to do is that all new houses and any new roofing must have fire retardant roofing so you reduce the calorific charge and you eliminate or reduce the velocity and spread of the fire. If you did it for earthquake you damage sure can do it for building.
I don’t understand why the federal charges of dereliction of duties, sabotage, and criminal negligence, that resulted in massive loss of people’s lives and property, have not been yet brought against all these public officials?
Why are you blaming the people who have homes there? AS IF...you want your own house to burn down and no insurrance will cover it. Always ask yourself ""Qui Bono"...who benefits? Remember you have billionaires running your country now.
For those who might say that these past policies were to protect wildlife, well then, has anyone done a rough estimate of how many creatures of the forest area have perished in the fires? Putting aside the 250,000 people who are not just homeless, but have lost EVERYTHING, would using common sense and well established methods of fire breaks, controlled burns, better water management cause less or more loss of wildlife? Seems like a pretty simple exercise to figure out that, as opposed to out of control wildfires, fire mitigation causes FAR less less wildlife impact AND protects the population.
Thank you Mr Hanson ! You are RIGHT ON ! Thank you for speaking up ! You are so CLEAR with everything ! I understand why TRYMP HAS CONDITIONS ON HELPING CALIFORNIA !
There are not many people to listen to who have brains, common sense and humility. Victor Davis Hansen is one of them. I'm 65 years old and was lucky enough to have a local/area newspaper that printed Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams on the op/ed pages when I was young. Victor Davis is on my short list with those two gentlemen. RIP Walter.
@@neilreynolds3858 So True. No excuse for youtube shorthand. Thanks for the memory of my father who taught me to read those columns when I was young. He would also have pointed out the missing E. in my earlier comment.
This has been going on for years. There were the fires in Sonoma, Redding, Paradise, Oroville, Berey Creek, Sonoma again, Forest Ranch, and now LA. Pretty sad that it has taken people to wake up and notice things once the fires are happening in LA.
Did you know most Americans don't even have passports, and most have never left their home state? Look at the costs of plane fares alone. The average US citizen simply can't afford it. FAR too many of us are working slaves. Free in name only.
Retired USCG vet whose motto is Semper Paratus, Always Ready. Meaning, coming off a SAR case at 2 am, tired, cold, hungry; we first refueled and replenished our boats and aircraft before meeting our own needs.Weather is unpredictable; so there is not a minute to waste optimizing our readiness in LA for fires that will come; not if. The current LA/CA prep is one of Hope, not deeds, and hope is never a successful strategy. Thanks for your illuminating the true situation; keep your foot firmly on the gas!

I’m afraid this is it for CA. I lived there for 47 years and have retired to New England. Life is good here❤I left for the very reasons that are still going on. No water, constant fear of fires and total mismanagement. It’s gotten so much worse. Loving Maine❤come join us.
This was.... allowed!
Planned too!
Getting ready for the Olympics??? 😮
All done deliberately !!!
Same with Maui!! The left is behind all of this.
Yep, there are tons of people who are salivating at the thought of transforming that area, artificially creating their walkable city utopia where you’ll own nothing and you better be happy
So well said!!! The people in charge to do all the things to prevent this ----didn't!!!!! They aren't suffering!!! So wrong and sick!!!
It’s absolutely horrendous what is still happening there in California!! The pathetic people in charge are still in office and not doing anything!
It's not that Newsome and the rest didn't plan to fill the reservoirs. It's that they planned not to fill the reservoirs. Big difference.
Incompetence is just the excuse they use when caught. They know exactly what they are doing and why; so just look at the result, and you'll know their intentions.
So true
Exactly!!!
Whether you are your cutting firewood or performing Fire Protection you have to do it the season before it burns
Duh😢
Smart meters, smart cities, surveillance, CBDC, control, power. Paying attention?
"By 20230, you will own nothing and be happy"
Sounds plausible
They have smartLa 2028 planned already .
Power is a drug!!!!
yo..Maui. geoengineering,, then directed energy, then microwave plasma. then the bullshit. I was one of the last that stayed. I moved to Maui at 15 by myself. used to sneak into the Pioneer inn for sleep. then my life really began. aloha from , this month its the south shore, oh yeah..phuck fema
I have never used the word "nadir" in a sentence. I salute you, sir.
Thank you VDH, I always appreciate your sane and pragmatic discussions. 👍
I would like to know where the fires are coming from. Example. In one city, the fire started in 3 different places at the same time. They are across town from each other. That is not natural, and the other fires are NOT spitting at that city to start 3 fires at the same time. SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS BEHIND THIS FOR A REASON.
🎯 Same devils in charge of Maui land grab.
Victor asked if it's the homeless starting fires.
VDH gave you the reason - homeless encampments ring the city and they build fires.
@neilreynolds3858 but to have 3 fires start spreading and doing damage at the same time would have 3 homeless people conspiring together to get that done. I just don't see 3 homeless people doing that.

Don't know if this Incompetence or Evil, or both! Shameful!
People, we have to stop electing these fools & start choosing people on the basis of competence, skilll & clearly- understood plan & policy! Otherwise, we'll keep getting what we keep getting: incompetence &/or evil, or both! Enough! Thank you, Mr. Hanson!
90% evil; 10% incompetence.
But, Oh my, I love California so much, I don't care how much it costs.
The problem is figuring out who wants to change things, and who SAYS they want to change things. If people are willing to lie, and are GOOD at it, it gets very hard to the truth-tellers from the liars.
Evil......period
Evil!!!
Newsom and Bass have blood on their hands
They were VOTED into office by the people, HA HA
Having been a native Californian I’ve seen that state become something I hardly recognize … why is it that those who want to destroy it have always been voted into power?? So thankful I left there when I did!
You had your chance to recall Newsom and the people of California didn’t do it.
No homes and no Insurance. Victor, the first Smart City.
@lightgiver7311 - From the UK, what is the insurance situation for most of the homeowner victims?
The insurance companies had dropped fire coverage earlier in the year for many of them!
“Zoo shall have NahTING AND LIKE IT !!!!” Klaus “Nazi” Schwab
@@richardenders6606 Insurance companies looked at the risks, and state law mandating coverage rates, even if the amount they would have to pay out was MUCH higher, and a whole lot of them refused to cover people. The companies basically said Hell No, and people were NOT covered when this fire happened. So, the Millionaires will have enough to rebuild, because they're basically self-insured, as in, they can pay for it out of pocket, but anyone normal (and there were a LOT of those people in these areas) or actually retired or poor, will likely have to move out and won't be rebuilding.
@@richardenders6606 you must set up a bank account to receive your insurance check. Existing bank account will not work. Must have a new one.
I was born and raised in the Saddleback Mountains, which is so bucolic and charming, comparatively speaking. We finally left on Christmas Day, 2021, because I was tired of the winds, the dry, crunchy hills, and Edison turning off our electricity every time the winds hit. Which is a LOT. I can not tell you how OVERJOYED I am to no longer live in CA!! I do not miss it one bit!! I refused to pay taxes to these idiots who plan evil all day long. They always win, no matter how we all voted! When does everyone say, "ENOUGH! I'm out of here!" Vote with your feet and leave! Before you lose everything!
They planned a 15 minute city, look at the rail project and compare it to what burned. It matches.
Look up SmartLA 2028...it was all planned
geoengineering, then dew, then microwave plasma..we know the recipe..aloha from Maui. also look at..chinas one road. the 15 minute city is the muscle for this project.
I worked in the insurance and reinsurance industry and 25 years ago I wrote that California had to upgrade their building codes for fire as they did for earthquakes. The first thing you have to do is that all new houses and any new roofing must have fire retardant roofing so you reduce the calorific charge and you eliminate or reduce the velocity and spread of the fire. If you did it for earthquake you damage sure can do it for building.
I don’t understand why the federal charges of dereliction of duties, sabotage, and criminal negligence, that resulted in massive loss of people’s lives and property, have not been yet brought against all these public officials?
Why are you blaming the people who have homes there? AS IF...you want your own house to burn down and no insurrance will cover it. Always ask yourself ""Qui Bono"...who benefits? Remember you have billionaires running your country now.
For those who might say that these past policies were to protect wildlife, well then, has anyone done a rough estimate of how many creatures of the forest area have perished in the fires? Putting aside the 250,000 people who are not just homeless, but have lost EVERYTHING, would using common sense and well established methods of fire breaks, controlled burns, better water management cause less or more loss of wildlife? Seems like a pretty simple exercise to figure out that, as opposed to out of control wildfires, fire mitigation causes FAR less less wildlife impact AND protects the population.
Come on, you know that makes too much sense...
Common sense doesn't work with a certain portion of the population. They prefer to remain uninformed.
Plus if they are so worried about "climate change" what kind of pollution and carbon footprint are these fires adding to the atmosphere?
Wildfires here in Montana, animals for the most part seem to do just fine.
It is the complete incompetence at its highest! Who will accept this ? Will you ?
Democrats in charge!!!
Cut off all federal funding until cook & newsom resign.
Thank you Mr Hanson ! You are RIGHT ON ! Thank you for speaking up ! You are so CLEAR with everything ! I understand why TRYMP HAS CONDITIONS ON HELPING CALIFORNIA !
There are not many people to listen to who have brains, common sense and humility. Victor Davis Hansen is one of them. I'm 65 years old and was lucky enough to have a local/area newspaper that printed Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams on the op/ed pages when I was young. Victor Davis is on my short list with those two gentlemen. RIP Walter.
As he used to say, Doctor Walter E. Williams. Don't forget that E. He was one of the best.
@@neilreynolds3858 So True. No excuse for youtube shorthand. Thanks for the memory of my father who taught me to read those columns when I was young. He would also have pointed out the missing E. in my earlier comment.
This has been going on for years. There were the fires in Sonoma, Redding, Paradise, Oroville, Berey Creek, Sonoma again, Forest Ranch, and now LA. Pretty sad that it has taken people to wake up and notice things once the fires are happening in LA.
I love Victor Davis Hanson. I wish he was our governor. Could you imagine how people, job, etc. friendly our state would become?
Voter ID should be introduced in CA
Required!
That and shut down APRIL 15th for a year.
Australian firefighters are trained to fight fires with portable water pumps-to use water from swimming pools etc
We would have had plenty of water at the fire's onset if the reservoir wasn't completely dry.
But does Australia have a lesbain fire chief who has no expeeince in fighing fires?
and
@@orionxtc1119 true
I wish people would visit Europe to see the reality of these ideas, because there are problems
Here in Ireland it is even worse... mass immigration has made native Irish a minority nwo in Ireland
Understood, but liberals can do it different & better....hahahahah not
Did you know most Americans don't even have passports, and most have never left their home state?
Look at the costs of plane fares alone. The average US citizen simply can't afford it. FAR too many of us are working slaves. Free in name only.
Retired USCG vet whose motto is Semper Paratus, Always Ready. Meaning, coming off a SAR case at 2 am, tired, cold, hungry; we first refueled and replenished our boats and aircraft before meeting our own needs.Weather is unpredictable; so there is not a minute to waste optimizing our readiness in LA for fires that will come; not if. The current LA/CA prep is one of Hope, not deeds, and hope is never a successful strategy. Thanks for your illuminating the true situation; keep your foot firmly on the gas!
How about terrorists that have crossed the border could be responsible for setting these fires?
Plain, honest truth.
