He is wrong about China and Evs. In July 2024 when sales of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) surpassed internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for the first time.
In the 40s, my delinquent teen uncle was sent to a camp in the mountains where kids cleared brush, trimmed trees, cut downed logs, etc. and it turned him around. Non violent offenders, capable homeless and willing unemployed could do these jobs and get a leg up in life. Golden untapped opportunity that would help prevent fire danger.
In the 50's my grandparents ran the County Farm which took in homeless and non-violent offenders and taught them farming, ranching and home economic skills while providing home and board while they got back on their feet. In the late 70's, I worked for the Young Adult Conservation Corps through the BLM doing conservation projects and rangeland firefighting. In 1980, I worked with a crew in the redwoods that did manual clearing of the forest floors. It's work that always needs to be done and there are people who need the work and skills-building.
That is a wonderful action for improving so much. Get the drugs off the streets and teach them in school about abuse. The answer is in the teaching at the beginning. Great idea.
There are 1000’s of men like VDH in California. But they are outvoted by the illegals and the Snowflakes and Karens. So they are reaping what they sowed.
The insurance companies were the 'canaries in the coal mine'. When they started cancelling policies and refusing to write new ones, that should have been a warning that trouble was ahead.
Yes, like watching th 15:01 e bookies rate Trump, its as certain as tomorrow (?). They knew the voter market from the get go. Big insurers especially the international underwriters know a bad bet. This will impact world wide insurance rates, they are globalised.
His take on everybody to the left of him being a marxist/maoist is quite wild. Doing restoration work for wildlife preservation is motivated by nihilism and a death cult? The guy is a radical.
That excuse flew out the window Day 1 when I watched a video of a homeless lady(?) repeatedly lighting fires. Repeatedly because the people recording this were having words with her AND stomping out the fires. But the homeless lady(?) kept lighting fires.....and saying....it was good for the area. I think the video was cut off at the "good for the area" part. But that fit perfectly with the pattern of random fires popping off at that time. That these fires were deliberately set by people there was no question in my mind. People do the craziest things but they also follow patterns....copycats is the usual term. Maybe there was a non-deliberate reason for the 1st blaze, but kooky people will be motivated and add to the chaos. I've no connection to CA other than scattered LE professionals I worked or trained with in my 30yr police career. But we love the San Diego area and been there dozens of times, usually making an extended run to LA for a function. Not an expert on all things CA but decades of dealing with people at the street level, plus seeing the disastrous results of Low IQ politicians, gave me plenty of insight into not just the CA and LA but seeing/driving the streets of that difficult terrain drove home the FD challenges they have. I am so glad this giant FUBAR occurred before Trump is in office!! Now the guilty scumbags are without cover or concealment or any innocent persons to blame. This disaster was a community effort choreographed by the Gov, LA Mayor, LAFD Chief and a whole bunch of faceless/worthless bureaucrats in CA government. Oh, lets not forget the very root of this madness....the environmental non-experts.
Yeah, this one reason that I’ll defer to him , especially with this specific CA disaster. This is such an informative & diverse topic range in this 50 minutes.
The "community notes" pressing the "climate change" narrative leaves me gobsmacked! This was an epic failure of leadership at every level from the governor down. Watching/listening from Ozz because these conversations are VERY relevant irrespective of where we might find yourselves. I wake up every day with a mission to learn something new and your podcasts allow me to say "mission accomplished today". God bless and TC because the world needs your voice!
Thank you so much Victor Since the fires began I've been waiting to hear your insights in detail. I knew no one is more qualified to speak of the Devolution of California at the hands of these Democratic leaders. May this man-made tragedy finally be the catalyst for change.
Other fires with far more fatalities have'nt seemed to change California policies on water and controlling brush. No calalyst seems to work with Gruesome Newsome.
It is a great pleasure to hear from an American icon. Victor is the most intellectual mind I have ever listened to. What sets Victor apart from you and I is he is still a realist. What a great motivator. President Trump needs to knock on his door ,and bring him aboard in some capacity.
Bravo. I try never to miss your podcasts. It’s so refreshing to hear sanity. I could compare you to Superman; truth, justice, and the American way. Thank you.
Thank you so much Victor for always speaking intelligently and choosing carefully the correct language to describe events. I never have to worry about listening to you with my grandchildren around. Others that I like to listen to often use profanity, and some very vulgar language that I can no longer listen to when my grandchildren are around. Thank you for being an example and a light!
I have GOT to start tuning into this guy more. What a dynamic mind and the clarity of explanation he presents to the audience is second to none. Pray for rain in LA everyone.
He said there is no grazing to keep brush down. ua-cam.com/video/eZOsb4zHuaE/v-deo.html He said CAL FIRE doesn't do fire prevention. ua-cam.com/video/kLI9B1l6Nc8/v-deo.html Fuel reduction impacts ua-cam.com/video/pkVsBevOy9M/v-deo.html
That first vid of the goats is a photo op made recently. Not buying that one at all. Noticed it's only 3 day ago! The outher vids are in the WRONG county's to be any benefit to L.A. not to mention woefully inadequate to make a difference. Training firefighters how to make breaks and do control burns only becomes beneficial when put into practice on a state wide level which they don't obviously do and that is his point. You've provided nothing substantial in the way of evidence that victor is wrong. Try again!
schools teach nothing of real worth..I have grandkids gong through the woke Canadian systm.yikes...horrendous..DEFUND DEFUND DEFUND AND HOME SCHOOL ETC...GET RID OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM
Victor your a great American. I took the old fire test came in 1 out of 200. Didn't get the job the lady that got the job couldn't pass the test. These government offices are lost.
My late father in law worked for the L.A. Fire Department for 30 years. In the ‘80s he said the county was approving building we’re they should have never built.
Thank you for that episode. Your sessions are gymnastics for my mind! You also stimulate my curiosity to explore many of the subjects that you discuss. Your ability to discuss events in a way that is understandable is a true measure of your intelligence. Thank you Victor.
We must migrate our ears to scholars and successful people rather than the shitshow on social media and our government. Knowledge is king! Grrreat Pod!
You can tell Victor is just beside himself with frustration over the incompetent government of his State. This disaster didn't have to happen. Just like the Lahaina, Maui fire and many others.
The best example of what Victor is saying was an interview with a female firefighter. She said a woman asked if she was strong enough to carry thew woman's husband out of a fire. She replied that he shouldn't have gotten himself in that position.
I'm so glad I found your podcasts! I so appreciate you sharing your take on all the issues you cover! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, and expertise!!
As a retired Michigan firefighter I can tell you that once you get hired, there is no physical requirements to up hold. Most firefighters I worked with got fatter,lazier and more unhealthy each year.
This was a fantastic video podcast. One on the very best I have ever heard. That guest is so smart and he is right about President Trump. We here in south central Florida are so happy since Trump won the election. We now know our country has a chance to survive. God bless you and Mr. Hanson.
Victor, you cheer me up! I’m forwarding this podcast to a couple of friends who need your kind of “cheer up”! Thank you so much for continuing to inform us with your well grounded thoughts.
Thank you. Quite educative for me. From the Philippines.

I very much like Professor Hanson's attire. Especially when he wore his farm clothes in a previous program. He looked quite handsome and rugged, from a knowledgeable woman's perspective. Professor Hanson was sooo relaxed and even had hearty laughter. He does not need to wear a suit and tie. But, the gentleman that he is, will do so "just once." His professional dress today is very nice too. *Victor earns to dress whatever way he wants, for he is highly respected for his love to research and know the present and past historical truthful facts on world politics, news events, wars, and so much more, and breakdown all of this with such patience and care to share same with his viewers, so we will understand and have the ability to share with other people. VICTOR DAVIS HANSON IS SUPERBLY FANTASTIC!!!*
Victor's moral clarity, and clarity of thought and expression is phenomenal, and much appreciated.
Agreed.
Love Victors clear simple analysis!!😂
He is wrong about China and Evs. In July 2024 when sales of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) surpassed internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles for the first time.
@sabinereynaudsf have you seen the nevs in China stored in dirt lots in rural China?? Sold for government rebates and then junked by hiding them!!!
The average Joe / Jane thinks like and understands a guy like VDH. Unfortunately their being replaced and outnumbered.
In the 40s, my delinquent teen uncle was sent to a camp in the mountains where kids cleared brush, trimmed trees, cut downed logs, etc. and it turned him around. Non violent offenders, capable homeless and willing unemployed could do these jobs and get a leg up in life. Golden untapped opportunity that would help prevent fire danger.
Joe Biden said, "Build Back Better!" and now I know that he meant. Beware America!!!
Like the conservation corp
Oh yeah and learn vital skills that help not reoffend nah couldn’t be the US government in fact MKultra never ended
In the 50's my grandparents ran the County Farm which took in homeless and non-violent offenders and taught them farming, ranching and home economic skills while providing home and board while they got back on their feet. In the late 70's, I worked for the Young Adult Conservation Corps through the BLM doing conservation projects and rangeland firefighting.

So thankful for a voice of common sense. We need more men like Victor
There are 1000’s of men like VDH in California. But they are outvoted by the illegals and the Snowflakes and Karens. So they are reaping what they sowed.
Strongly agree
I learned of Mr. Hanson's brilliance by listening to the late, great Rush Limbaugh.
He’s pretty great on many topics. I enjoy Victor’s excellent history books
Victor gives the clearest explanation of the current situation on the fires in CA.
Yes, and we we here in Ohio are hearing none of the backstory that we get from Victor Davis Hanson.
He sure does...
He knows how to string a narrative.
Victor Davis Hanson is 100% correct!!!! Love this man. True intelligence and integrity!
I really got a sense of his frustration in this monolog.
The insurance companies were the 'canaries in the coal mine'. When they started cancelling policies and refusing to write new ones, that should have been a warning that trouble was ahead.
And who can blame any business from no longer taking on an alarmingly increasing pending disaster directly related to political decisions …
The same thing has happened in FL. Insurance fraud over the years has been rampant here as well. Prayers for CA.
@@Northerngirl360. Truth!
Yes, like watching th 15:01 e bookies rate Trump, its as certain as tomorrow (?). They knew the voter market from the get go. Big insurers especially the international underwriters know a bad bet. This will impact world wide insurance rates, they are globalised.
Not 'canaries', vultures.
This is excellent.
Alll Americans should hear this !!!!
American had a voice of reason until the Clinton's got in the WH, that started the doom spiral
All the world. Why only Americans?
Everyone should hear this Worldwide imho❤
His take on everybody to the left of him being a marxist/maoist is quite wild. Doing restoration work for wildlife preservation is motivated by nihilism and a death cult? The guy is a radical.
I see the “Climate Change” disclaimer and I already know this is going to be good!
VDH!! 🇺🇸👏🏻❤️
Exactly 💯
Sickening seeing them jump their proper gander pieces in, isn’t it!
Yes the disclaimer is a recommendation 😅
I still suffer from the Ice Age they said was coming to kill us all in 1970 😖

Thank you Victor , your the voice of reason , that desperately needs to be heard!!!!!
What a joy it is to sit back and listen to VDH!!
When I want to hear something (or someone) profoundly brilliant, I tune in to Victor Davis Hanson.
Victor Hanson is a 4th generation Californian and is the living voice of the state.
And sadly the exodus of Californians are mostly people like him.
I’m fifth generation California and had to leave due to the freaks running it
He's actually fifth.
We must learn everything we can from this man. He’s not getting any younger.
Yeah, this one reason that I’ll defer to him , especially with this specific CA disaster. This is such an informative & diverse topic range in this 50 minutes.

Maybe. But maybe if California had higher taxes and the citizens paid more for carbon credits none of this would have happened.
@@flankman9385 your solution is more taxes??? Good grief!
@@flankman9385you are kidding … aren’t you or are you delusional
Ditto!
@@flankman9385😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much Victor Since the fires began I've been waiting to hear your insights in detail. I knew no one is more qualified to speak of the Devolution of California at the hands of these Democratic leaders. May this man-made tragedy finally be the catalyst for change.
In FULL AGREEMENT!!! THX!😊
It can also be described as ‘Degrowth’, away to take over and conquer a good system.
Other fires with far more fatalities have'nt seemed to change California policies on water and controlling brush. No calalyst seems to work with Gruesome Newsome.
Victor Davis Hanson should have a million subscribers! 🤩🎯
The most prolific font of conservative logic on the scene today. Thank you, VDH!
Ahhh... a nice moment of sanity. Thank You!
One of the best speakers of Truth.
Victor you are very special to us, so smart Patriots, telling the truth. Thank you ❤
He is special and that word is ego special he's so much more your right though.
VDH podcast is by far my favorite podcast. I listen at work. I’ll listen to them 2-3 times throughout the week.
Thank You Professor Hanson for wisdom and common sense knowledge... I look forward to listening to your interesting commentary... Thanks again...😊
Love hearing Victor Davis Hanson's logical, truthful expose on CA fires.
It is a great pleasure to hear from an American icon. Victor is the most intellectual mind I have ever listened to. What sets Victor apart from you and I is he is still a realist. What a great motivator. President Trump needs to knock on his door ,and bring him aboard in some capacity.
Exactly trump and Victor could straighten out all this Bullshit.
This man is a treasure to mankind
Glad I found his channel
Luv this message
Thank you again Professor. Your perspective is greatly appreciated.
100%!
Was excited all day..waiting to hear vdh talk California water....
Well done!

Victor is brilliant as always.
You are the refreshment buffet table for Patriots, Victor. Thank you as always, you're a national treasure.
Victor is brilliant, articulate, levelheaded and a serious joy to listen to, especially in this crazy world we live in.
This man is SO smart ! I LOVE listening to him
VDH is such a gift! His wealth of knowledge and perception is fuel for Americans to see the United States be strong again!
Thank you Sir. It’s soothing to hear you’re analytical dialogue. The root cause of the problem is often lost and overlooked.
Bravo. I try never to miss your podcasts. It’s so refreshing to hear sanity. I could compare you to Superman; truth, justice, and the American way. Thank you.
Thank you Prof. Hanson for your valuable insights
love your rational approach. You're the best

Cant get enough of Victor

Very nice time spent with Victor.... Thank you sir

Pray for rain in LA everyone.
Glory Hallelujah, truth goes marching on!
#BlessedBeThee🦋
Well said Sir, Thank you...
Excellent pod. 👍
Nice; a thinker that can express the times elegantly!
Who's going to sit across Mr Hanson and try to prove him wrong? It can't be done.
Premier Ford,,,,,,,,from Ontario or his sometimes pal Justin Trudeau.
He said there is no grazing to keep brush down. ua-cam.com/video/eZOsb4zHuaE/v-deo.html

Omg I love this man. I wish he was my father, friend, neighbor. May God bless him with a long healthy life.
How lovely that Victor Davis Hanson has weighed in on this calamity.
Thanks for sharing!
Great interview, one of my favorite VDHs ever, I can feel that same energy!! 🎉🇺🇸🎊
Excellent and thanks for sharing today. Sharing post immediately so others will know
Mr. Victor Davis Hansen, thank you Sir.
Wow great episode. Happy New Year Professor Hanson, and viewers.
Thanks for the history lesson on Greenland and Panama Canal. It’s interesting how our young students know nothing about anything.

What great conversation. Thank you - I’m so glad you’re excited about the possibilities going forward!
Very enlightening. Thank you, Sami and Professor Hanson.
Thank You!, Victor! For this Great Video! God Bless ! Godspeed! 💖
I am truly excited by the TRUTH being SPOKEN…❤❤❤👍🏻
We must migrate our ears to scholars and successful people rather than the shitshow on social media and our government. Knowledge is king! Grrreat Pod!
A lot of what truth we have has come from certain social media and podcasts….certainly one must boycott main stream media…all of them
You can tell Victor is just beside himself with frustration over the incompetent government of his State. This disaster didn't have to happen. Just like the Lahaina, Maui fire and many others.
PA and Ohio were just as bad in regards to the East Palestine event.
The best example of what Victor is saying was an interview with a female firefighter. She said a woman asked if she was strong enough to carry thew woman's husband out of a fire. She replied that he shouldn't have gotten himself in that position.
ouch...I was a very strong woman but no match for the strength of most men
Fantastic channel, thank you so much. Love from Perth Australia.
Amazing ❤

I really enjoyed hearing your knowledge on current events.
Victor ---- Many Canadians agree with you and are waking up from the DEI nightmare.
Love your take on DJT… I’m smiling!
Brilliant explanation
Victor is the most interesting and accurate podcaster!! And with great interviewers in Jack and Sami outstanding!!
Victor, you are so logical and right on. I appreciate your willingness to speak your mind.❤
As a retired Michigan firefighter I can tell you that once you get hired, there is no physical requirements to up hold. Most firefighters I worked with got fatter,lazier and more unhealthy each year.
Sad to hear but completely believable
Same thing with law enforcement.
Thank you for sharing your brilliant mind and logic with us. Sometimes, people have to be slammed to the ground to finally wake up .

THEY did not even have water in the hydrants to fight the fires,
It was all in their pools...
He has the wisdom and common sense that our leaders have lost.
Thank you!

Thanks
I love what you say and disseminate. Whatever you wish to “wear” is your choice -entirely. Thank you both for your BRILLIANCE
