Victor Davis Hanson: Gavin Newsom’s California in ‘Existential Freefall’

California is on the brink of disaster—$76 billion in debt, skyrocketing taxes, crumbling infrastructure, and a vanishing middle class. 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.”
