Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom’s California in ‘Existential Freefall’
California native Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the harsh realities of Newsom’s policies on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
From high taxes to a failing power grid, Hanson asks the critical question: Why is California becoming unsustainable?
“The state started the year 2024 $76 billion in debt. You are now broke. Even that was not enough. What is your plan to address that?
“We are in an existential freefall. And you as governor either can't or won't do anything about it. And if this continues, in another decade, this is going to be a completely medieval Third World society, if it isn't already.”

Victor Davis Hanson: The Trump Counterrevolution’s Next Moves Abroad
Here’s the advice Victor Davis Hanson prescribes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”:
“ We need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter that we can be, the more effective and more encompassing can be the reforms. And we're going to try to make sure that we're not an existential enemy of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and an array of anti-Western societies.
“ As far as Ukraine, Donald Trump is under all sorts of criticism because he, at first, had a legitimate beef with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. … All he has to say is, ‘Vladimir Putin did not invade in my first term. He invaded during Barack Obama's term and Joe Biden's term. Even George W. Bush's term he invaded. It wasn't I who got us into this mess. We cannot watch aimlessly and helplessly as 1.5 million lives are consumed with death, wounding, capture, missing—these casualties.’”
