Victor Davis Hanson: "California Will Never Recover From This..."

Victor Davis Hanson delivers a sharp critique of the political and environmental failures engulfing Los Angeles and beyond. In this powerful analysis, Hanson examines the devastating wildfires that have left thousands homeless, billions in damages, and a city struggling to recover. He doesn’t shy away from pointing fingers at the leadership failures of Mayor Karen Bass, whose decision to attend a ceremonial event in Ghana while disaster loomed is emblematic of a larger crisis in accountability.

Hanson breaks down the systemic incompetence: from a utilities chief earning $700,000 amidst annual scandals to the state’s inability to maintain water supplies critical to firefighting efforts. He highlights the growing frustration among citizens—once restrained by the fear of social criticism, now emboldened by the scale of the catastrophe to demand change and speak the uncomfortable truths.

Beyond LA, Hanson connects the dots to national and international policies. He criticizes the Biden administration's contradictory energy policies, which alternated between demonizing domestic energy production and begging foreign adversaries for oil. Hanson also calls out Vice President Kamala Harris for her inconsistent stance on fracking, exposing the opportunism at the heart of political maneuvering.

In a broader context, Hanson underscores the hypocrisy of left-wing policies toward Europe and Ukraine, noting how American energy decisions have left allies vulnerable while pandering to ideological narratives. He predicts a stark contrast if Trump returns to power: a leader willing to rebuild American energy dominance, bolster European allies, and unapologetically pursue policies that prioritize security and prosperity over political posturing.

This video is an unflinching exploration of leadership failures, public discontent, and the broader implications for America’s future. Hanson’s analysis is a call to action for citizens and leaders alike to address the dysfunction before it’s too late.
