Over what? Natural disasters? Like asking for North Carolina to resign over the hurricane or DeSantis in Florida. Senility to think our elected officials can control the weather.
Exactly. It’s a spot in encapsulation of the whole issue. Hopefully this can be the wake up event for the people in that state to vote for better leadership. Sadly, I doubt it.

That's why in retirement I only have a small number of friends. Few pople have critical thinking skills. I can usually tell in a few converstations if the other person has their head on straight. No time for hollowed out airheaded people . We are not involved in community or any group activities. We do online church services.
Are you saying that Vic has critical thinking skills? If so, how come he never talks about Red State's catastrophic hurricanes are a free market disaster
As soon as DEI goes into effect at ONCE, the best and most worthy people who are passed over often QUIT. The damage is not a long term decay it is IMMEDIATE and HORRIBLE.
"Almost like 'we don't like humans' " That's been plainly obvious from the writings of some environ"mental" nut cases for decades now. Unfortunately some of those are now in power in CA.
😱😱😱 arrgghh the gullible never let you down a few wise words of BS and the gullible will re vote them in until tonnes of mud ram through your new car and home, the stupidity of these politicians is beyond me.
You are correct. We will see mudslides and could be as early as the next 90 days. We have had no rain here in SoCal whatsoever since winter started. But we will be getting rain over the next couple of months, and it will be a mess. I dont live in a democrat run county, but I believe LA has a decision to make right away. We will try to recall Newsom again, I'm sure.
Victor Davis Hanson's analysis is as usual right on the money.

He is spot on...I am a native Californian and before Govenor Newsom we elected Forestry Departments to monitor shrub growth, water pressure at hydrants and appropriate resources for air support. All the above was cut from Californias budget under Newson.....shameful.
It is even worse than what VDH is talking about. My father's house WAS on Altadena Dr in Altadena (he owned the house for over 45 years, then we sold it a few years ago when he died). The house is GONE, burned to the ground. The thing is: the house is 112 years old and has withstood Santa Ana winds for all those 112 years. MANY houses in the area WERE the same age --- all withstood the winds (and sometimes fires) for all those 112 years. I have to speculate, some of the years, the winds were just as fierce. My question however is: WHO STARTED THE FIRES? Over 5 separate fires, all burning at the same time --- but MANY miles apart. They were not part of the same fire. They were not embers blown from one fire to start another. In my opinion, they were set. To overwhelm emergency services. To burn down our country. I want to know who did it. There are cameras everywhere, and they know where each of the fires started and who was around at these locations. Who burned our cities down? California is a Sanctuary State. Our governor says he will protect the people here that are not supposed to be here. People like him, and people that are not supposed to be here need to be gone. The people that enabled the invasion of our country need to be gone. The people that died in these fires, all the animals, all the trees and plants, all the destroyed houses, neighborhoods, churches, stores and schools need to be spoken for. WHO DID IT! WHO LIT THESE FIRES?
If you have bin around for the past 4 yrs ask yourself is this a one off with this administration...Because it started w covid and it's bin a nightmare the whole time!!!
Such a history of inexplicable catastrophic fires over the past 10 yrs! A multitude of critical and essential sources/resources (with absurd reasons only those with pretty faces and no responsibility would believe) cut within the prior 12 months!

@@davidbowman4259Lol. Have you noticed that even the blue cities in Red states aren’t burning to the ground. California is special. btw. Jethro (Max Baer Jr) is worth $50M
I think you are right. I’m 66 years old. I lived in CA all my life. In the pst 15 years have been something unrecognizable to me. It has become a place I cannot support. I live out of state now. I sold all my property in hopes of not loosing it to the ideals I don’t subscribe to. Thank you for speaking to the truth of this crisis.
Your timing in selling out was good! It is sad - CA used to be a beautiful state and San Francisco was, I thought, the most beautiful city in the country. Piglosi and Newscum and their predecessors RUINED it!
If you think letting Weyerhaeuser et al harvest the forests is a good idea, then you aren't educating yourself. I live right in the middle of them and they will have you arrested if you walk in to the forest. They plant trees like you would plant tomatoes, strictly Douglas Fir in rows and weeding out every scrap of native plants. They spray pesticides in ungodly amounts, and they clear cut, even on 70%+ slopes. They pull up everything when they harvest, leaving bare dirt for the next year or two, in a place that gets 80-90 inches of rain.
Theyve had how many yrs? And like the millions disposessed because of the CV fiasco, they blamed they blamed and castigate Them. Not many helping hands in Ca. Guess KARMA is a b. . . c H!
I did. Born & raised in California. What can I do? Vote them out🤣 Our ancestors did something different when treason abounded… those days are long gone and there is no fear by those in power who abuse their constituency. Sad state.
Back in the late 90s, I had an internship with the Tennessee Department of Forestry. I remember having lunch with two other guys and they were talking about how the reason California had such large wildfires is because the environmentalist wouldn't allow controlled burning and logging. Fast forward to about 10 years ago, I met someone who worked for the California forestry department and she said any time they started projects that would help the environment, they were met with lawsuits from all of the environmental special interest groups. So this neglect to properly maintain forests is nothing new, it's been happening for decades. California needs leadership that is willing to do what it takes to protect the people that live there.
It's the same here in Washington State. The Greens have put in so many restrictions on forest use that there has been a massive accumulation of fuels, ready to ignite. Thier rationale is that fires in prehistoric times were catastrophic and resulted in a reset of the environment for the good. Ego, we should leave the forest to Nature. Sounds all noble and stuff, but these ain't prehistoric times. There are houses and human lives at stake now - not to mention the millions of animals that die in forest fires. If loggers and other people are allowed to go in and gather their own firewood, the fuel will be mitigated. But, the Greens have an answer for that: They oppose woodburning stoves AND campfires. When I go camping in remote areas, if allowed, I will gather all the downed fuel for 100 feet around my site and use it for my cooking and campfire fuel. That way, at least my footprint will not contribute much to a wild fire.
Trump stated in his Interview with Joe Rogan that California should maintain their forests like Europe including removing the large dead trees and also Trump in 2020 started actions to divert the water back into the state instead of letting it run out into the ocean. Gavin sued and won.
You are fight on. In 1981, I was studying the Southern California Forest Environs with Dr. Brum (Cal Poly Pomona Biology). He mentioned the Forest Management was tied up because of Enviromental Law Suits. So I went to the San Bernardino USFS Admin Building to ask if this were so. The Head Ranger met me and said "Yes, the Environmantalists file many lawsuits every year and get Court Injunctions preventing us from doing our Jobs". HE then showed me the wals of his office, floor to ceiling, every wall, binders of Injunctions preventing forest management. That was 1981. Imagine the damage to forest Management since then, forty years later, and combine that with the DEI, Climate Change, Sanctuary City, reduction of water by Newsom....etc, etc.
The area of the current LA fires is not a forest area. It is mainly scrub brush, bushes, and scattered oak trees. So your post, while having some merit, is really not relevant to these current fires.
Texas person here, and we have Forest management. Trimmed trees and clean forest floors. I live in East Texas, well known for pine timber forests! Also hardwood mixed with pine forests, which many are national forests all over this big state. We are proud of our timber forests and take care of them❤
No, not so brilliant. You can't stop fires in CA no matter how much water you have. They build homes out of WOOD....think about it. Smoky the Bear lied to us. You can't prevent forest fires, you can only prepare for them. Granted CAs water policy is stupid but it wasn't the cause of these fires.
@@azul8811How many classes have you taught at Stanford? Have you lived in that state for 5 generations? I only lived there for 20 years, and just by reading the newspaper's and talking to locals you can learn this stuff.
Too bad "the people" voted these people into office and keep voting to keep him in the governor's office. Why??????? Newsome been incompetent since he got into office!!!!! Just look at San Francisco........
Does Newsom still believe that this will not be a setback to his presidential aspirations? I can just see the tone-deaf campaign slogan now: "Newsom promises to do for America what he did for California".
Qualifications gained from indoctrination centres ie, schools and universities. These qualifications are bogus and add to the problem. Qualifications in common sense are what’s needed.

Yeah, FOX "News" blamed the fire on lesbians, blacks & Mexicans
This is Absolutely 100% NOT A NATURAL DISASTER. This Is Negligence Period! This is Criminal, Newsom, Bass and The Fire Chief need to be charged!!!!!!!!!
If Newsom had gone up in one of those huge planes or one of the helicopters to be up there, to see, that water was dropped for many places where it was needed on these horrific fires, to stop the spred of the fire..to help the communities...that would have shown he cares about California communities. He didn't, his actions showed he does not care..
Victor , I'm so glad to call myself a fellow Farmer . I do not have the educational background as you do '' but '' I have the same ''common sense '' as you . And many of us do ! ! ! I thank my God there are men like you speaking out . Bless You
Too many Californians worship the lifestyles of the Hollywood elites, aka the lifestyle of satan. All too appropriate that in their narcissistic delusional arrogance they should succeed in turning their once beautiful state into a living hell.
Well spoken. Newsom is such a failure, I wS so shocked when he actually won his bid for governor again. I thought they had had enough of his ignorance and incompetence.
@@bordereau1 I have been to Cuba, 27 times, I am 68. I have been in the Darięn Jungle 8 times, as an interpreter for the religious doing humanitarian and conversion works. Met her three times…you are lying, assuming or just nuts!
@ Fresh water is being sent straight into the Pacific Ocean… I guess Newsom believes the Pacific needs the extra water more than those who produce our food…
Newsom continues to deflect and pass the blame for his failures. He was told by President Trump over 4 years ago, he needed to clean up the forest floor. It's not rocket science, it's forestry management. That was taken care of when we had a timber industry. That provided jobs, along with revenue and protected the environment. The fires in Santa Rosa and Paradise were caused by the same reason all under Newsom's failures.
Thank you Victor. Please keep exposing these people and horrendous happenings. Yours and the works of others like you is so important. Please keep doing what you're doing.

Fires are yearly occurances in Southern California, as anyone reared in S. California knows. In fact, it's so common it is called The Fire Season. Hence, attempting to politicise this regular occurence by associating it to DEI, is beyond pathetic, and impotent. In fact, your analysis is a dementia, based belief rooted in your alcoholic pickled brain thoughts of Cum Hoc Ergo Proter Hoc. Look up the Peter Principle, it had nothing to do with DEI hires, but primarily, Caucasian males, as it was coined in the 1950's. Then ask yourself who are the Caucasian males behind the Trillions of dollars which are unaccounted for in the Pentagon Budget every fiscal cycle, STOLEN, the millions of people of people who lost their lives due to the CV vax fiasco, the Afganistan, and Iraq Failures, 9-11, Berny Madoff to FTX Financial scandals, I could go on for hours. When did you fabricate the Psuedo-narrative believe DEI did not earn anything, whereas, the Club based, Fraternity based, Freemason organizations have raised only qualified Caucasian males into positions of influence and power. Have you never ever heard of Dan Quayle who was one heartbeat from the Presidency😅, or legacy university students. GTFOH.
I think Mr. Hanson is enjoying his privilege. As someone who identifies as a fox, I'm looking forward to return of the forest to Los Angeles So me and my lesbian friends can frolic in may under our Rainbow banner. I used to be a White male with a job. Now, I'm celebrating DiVeRsItY and being a fox without a job. Its fantastic!
I don5 blame the politicians. I blame the California electorate that is so far left it prioritizes and rewards DEI over everything else. They are delusional.
Do you believe in election system? About 2 million votes were collected to add a question about removing Newsome to ballot on previous election. But during election only 1.2 million voted for that. Hmm...
@@chriskenmotsu9 About six years ago, I was working at a Walmart Neighborhood Market here in Texas. I happened to strike up a conversation with an older Hispanic gentleman. He and I were talking about the fact that we supported President Trump. I asked him where he came from. He stated that he came from a communist state. The first thing which came to my mind was Cuba. I asked him, "are you from Cuba?" He then replied by stating that he was from the communist state of California. I thought it was quite amusing!
I only had an inkling of the abject mismanagement of our state. This fire is bringing out the truth. I hope this is the silver lining in this catastrophe that begins the restoration of the state of California. Make California Great Again! Resign, Gavin.
I am of an age with Mr. Hanson, and I remember while growing up back in the 60s and 70s, that warnings were given about building in some of the canyons as it was known that wildfires would sweep through the canyons with little that could be done to stop it. But when celebrities wanted to build their exclusive and expensive homes in those same canyons, heads turned the other way. I have great sympathy for those who lost their lives and homes, but I must hope that some wake-up call will be heeded to stop rebuilding in fire lanes. I am too afraid, however that - still - money talks and the pins will be set up for this to happen again.
I'm just totally flabbergasted with this extraordinary situation. Those in authority, Newsom and Bass et al, should be made accountable, in the severest sense. Their inept behaviour is reprehensible. 😢
I left California after living there for 45 years. You’d be shocked at how many conservative folks live there. Many have moved. There are a lot of good people there who did not vote for this dumpster Fire situation.
Thank you. I don't think people understand how many conservatives live here. We are fighting but we have a very corrupt govt here as well. Too much to write here but you obviously get it. Thank you. I get tired of being accused of voting for these clowns.
Why should they get off so easily by resigning when they are responsible for this tragedy? How many lives have they negatively impacted with their selfish agendas? If they do run away, I hope they live in Ghana--forever.
Enough cannot be said about the extraordinary perception Victor Hanson has. He is truly one of this modern world's wise men. The God given gift he shares with us should be acknowledged and treasured by all. I can never get enough of his valuable insight in a world that has gone mad. Mr. Hanson, please don't ever stop telling us the truth, it will set us free. The world will hate this man, the citizens that accept his truth will love him eternally.

There doesn't seem to be any jump the shark moment for them...does there?

Over what? Natural disasters? Like asking for North Carolina to resign over the hurricane or DeSantis in Florida. Senility to think our elected officials can control the weather.

Well said on all points you made Mr. Hanson!
One of the most eloquent and inspiring man in America 🎖️🎖️🎖️
Always love Victor's talks. I look everywhere to listen to the man
Brilliant man. I pray that Californians listen to THIS Californian.
HE needs to be in office!
The typical Californian is a stoned immigrant with pants falling off, not the least bit aware of Hanson's existence🤪.
I listen to his podcast almost every night.
No, not so brilliant. You can't stop fires in CA no matter how much water you have. They build homes out of WOOD....think about it. Smoky the Bear lied to us. You can't prevent forest fires, you can only prepare for them. Granted CAs water policy is stupid but it wasn't the cause of these fires.
Love that guy!❤
Victor David Hansen is always the voice of reason I turn to.
Me too
What makes him an authority on fires?

Thank you Dr. Hansen.
Newsom and Bass should resign, but still face the consequences for betraying it's own people.
Too bad "the people" voted these people into office and keep voting to keep him in the governor's office. Why???????
Newsome been incompetent since he got into office!!!!! Just look at San Francisco........
Jail time would give an exemple
Does Newsom still believe that this will not be a setback to his presidential aspirations? I can just see the tone-deaf campaign slogan now: "Newsom promises to do for America what he did for California".
Hiring should be based on qualifications n nothing else!!
No, not true whatsoever. Obviously, "qualified" isn't identifiable.
DEI is non intelligent.....the best for the job is intelligent...just common sense the left has lost...if..they ever had it....wow...wake up
But racism 🙄
Qualifications gained from indoctrination centres ie, schools and universities. These qualifications are bogus and add to the problem. Qualifications in common sense are what’s needed.
We would be looking for another President now, wouldn't we?
You sir, are not pessimistic, you are realistic. Thank you.
This is so heartbreaking to hear. Sometimes it’s hard to breathe, but on the other hand, we really do thank you for reporting what is going on you do it in the most respectful way thank you sir.
I am so SICK AND TIRED of hearing terms like "DEI" and "LGBTQ" that I'm about to go crazy!! If anyone else agrees, please respond with a big Thumbs Up.

If you're tired of it, vote Republican next time.
Let's not forget LA mayor Bass cut LA Fire Department budget by several million and diverted those funds to the homeless industrial complex.
Several million??? How about $17 million!!
How bout 18 mil.
Not only that, that lunatic also routed 22 million for their illegal hoarding project.
$17.6 million. And LA County gave firefighting supplies to Ukraine in 2022 (Mainstream media reported this, so don't say this is "misinformation"!)
Purely scarey…..does not bode well for DEI based institutions. Time for serious changes.
Thanks to Mr Hanson for speaking out loud what was happening in Los Angeles and California on our behalf.
What? The government burning down another city EXACTLY what they did in Maui? You'd think if this was just a thing the democrats were doing the republican party would do something about it, or the FBI, or CIA, or somebody.. Strange, seems like the entire government has just gone to war against its population, and you can't realize this, yet.
Yeah, FOX "News" blamed the fire on lesbians, blacks & Mexicans
Thank You for Calling the people responsible out!
This is Absolutely 100% NOT A NATURAL DISASTER. This Is Negligence Period! This is Criminal, Newsom, Bass and The Fire Chief need to be charged!!!!!!!!!

He's doing good, but he's not saying who, what, where, when.
The key word is 'gentleman'. He's not calling people names, using hyperbole or yelling. He got his points across very respectfully.
NO WATER... FIRE FIGHTER NO WATER and loss of life😮 NEWSOME needs to be in JAIL😮
If Newsom had gone up in one of those huge planes or one of the helicopters to be up there, to see, that water was dropped for many places where it was needed on these horrific fires, to stop the spred of the fire..to help the communities...that would have shown he cares about California communities. He didn't, his actions showed he does not care..

@@TraceyNelmsWell diagnosed Mam'n.
Too many Californians worship the lifestyles of the Hollywood elites, aka the lifestyle of satan. All too appropriate that in their narcissistic delusional arrogance they should succeed in turning their once beautiful state into a living hell.
Yes, society gone MAD! Sums it up beautifully 😢😢😢
The level of incompetence is mind boggling but none of those complicit in this disaster will resign as they are morally and ethically bankrupt.
And protected 'minorities' including women.
It's not in competence.
Well spoken. Newsom is such a failure, I wS so shocked when he actually won his bid for governor again. I thought they had had enough of his ignorance and incompetence.
Victor Davis Hanson is a National Treasure.
Political opportunist ambulance chaser. No amount of water can stop a 100mph Santa Ana fire.

Thank you Mr. Hanson for wisdom and truth!
Mr. Hanson, i value you and your authenticity.
Victor, I always appreciate your message and listening to you. What a gift you are.
I completely agree with you Victor Davis Hansen you hit the nail on the head
This is deliberate neglect.
More like deliberate diverting of resources to other "priorities".
@ Fresh water is being sent straight into the Pacific Ocean… I guess Newsom believes the Pacific needs the extra water more than those who produce our food…
@@RC-eb5hq Water is literally being sent into the Pacific Ocean. I guess this clown believes the ocean could use more fresh water than the farmers.
Newsom continues to deflect and pass the blame for his failures. He was told by President Trump over 4 years ago, he needed to clean up the forest floor. It's not rocket science, it's forestry management. That was taken care of when we had a timber industry. That provided jobs, along with revenue and protected the environment. The fires in Santa Rosa and Paradise were caused by the same reason all under Newsom's failures.
Thank you Victor. Please keep exposing these people and horrendous happenings. Yours and the works of others like you is so important.
Please keep doing what you're doing.
Powerful and accurate message from VDH.
I hope everyone hears it.
Thank you very much Victor for speaking about this tonight. There are a lot of people that feel the same thank you once again.
Oceans of wisdom flow out of Victor Davis Hanson
He was raised in the 50s by a hard working father who applied the same understanding of God given common sense!

But it’s a known fact that as a part of the weather manipulations technologies cloud seeding has been a very effective worldwide on numerous occasions since the Vietnam War!

The mayor managed with newsom's help to have diverse fires in California. 🤣
Fires are yearly occurances in Southern California, as anyone reared in S. California knows. In fact, it's so common it is called The Fire Season. Hence, attempting to politicise this regular occurence by associating it to DEI, is beyond pathetic, and impotent. In fact, your analysis is a dementia, based belief rooted in your alcoholic pickled brain thoughts of Cum Hoc Ergo Proter Hoc.
Look up the Peter Principle, it had nothing to do with DEI hires, but primarily, Caucasian males, as it was coined in the 1950's. Then ask yourself who are the Caucasian males behind the Trillions of dollars which are unaccounted for in the Pentagon Budget every fiscal cycle, STOLEN, the millions of people of people who lost their lives due to the CV vax fiasco, the Afganistan, and Iraq Failures, 9-11, Berny Madoff to FTX Financial scandals, I could go on for hours. When did you fabricate the Psuedo-narrative believe DEI did not earn anything, whereas, the Club based, Fraternity based, Freemason organizations have raised only qualified Caucasian males into positions of influence and power. Have you never ever heard of Dan Quayle who was one heartbeat from the Presidency😅, or legacy university students. GTFOH.
Mr. Hanson I have so much respect for you. Thank you for informing us with information that makes sense. God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏
I think Mr. Hanson is enjoying his privilege.
As someone who identifies as a fox, I'm looking forward to return of the forest to Los Angeles

Now, I'm celebrating DiVeRsItY and being a fox without a job.
Its fantastic!
Amen
Lots of respect for Victor👍🇺🇲👍👌👌👌
I don5 blame the politicians. I blame the California electorate that is so far left it prioritizes and rewards DEI over everything else. They are delusional.
Politicians here have been bought off by drug cartels and the CCP. That is how got surveillance.
You know what's delusional? Building a massive city sprawl in the middle of the desert with no water source lmao
DEI caused the fire? Get real.
There is massive voter fraud in CA. That needs to change first.
Do you believe in election system? About 2 million votes were collected to add a question about removing Newsome to ballot on previous election. But during election only 1.2 million voted for that. Hmm...
A voice of reason is always refreshing
Thank God for people like Mr Hanson with common sense and discernment!❤️🙏
And Mr Hanson has a brilliant mind as well as integrity.
What California NEEDS in all political office. The opposite of what it has, unfortunately for them.
This VDH is one smart man, from your new fan or Listener in the Great State of Florida. Ill keep watching.
I lived in So Cal for 15 years and every single year the Santa Ana winds come. It is not a surprise
Yeah, got the people used to the term. Made it "NORMAL".
All it takes is one tossed cigarette butt.
We also experience the Santa Ana winds in the Bay Area. That's what caused the Oakland Hills fire 30 years ago.

@@chriskenmotsu9 About six years ago, I was working at a Walmart Neighborhood Market here in Texas. I happened to strike up a conversation with an older Hispanic gentleman. He and I were talking about the fact that we supported President Trump. I asked him where he came from. He stated that he came from a communist state. The first thing which came to my mind was Cuba. I asked him, "are you from Cuba?" He then replied by stating that he was from the communist state of California. I thought it was quite amusing!
NEWSOME , A. CHINA. ADMIRER
One of the GREATEST minds out there. He hit a home run again..
I only had an inkling of the abject mismanagement of our state. This fire is bringing out the truth. I hope this is the silver lining in this catastrophe that begins the restoration of the state of California. Make California Great Again! Resign, Gavin.

Spot on!!! Brilliant summation of California’s leadership gone insane!!! All should be criminally liable! Lock up Newsom & Bass!!!
Victor Davis Hanson is a gem. Truly a great voice for the conservative movement.
I am of an age with Mr. Hanson, and I remember while growing up back in the 60s and 70s, that warnings were given about building in some of the canyons as it was known that wildfires would sweep through the canyons with little that could be done to stop it. But when celebrities wanted to build their exclusive and expensive homes in those same canyons, heads turned the other way. I have great sympathy for those who lost their lives and homes, but I must hope that some wake-up call will be heeded to stop rebuilding in fire lanes. I am too afraid, however that - still - money talks and the pins will be set up for this to happen again.
Ubiquitous power 'Peter Stockmann', An Enemy of the People Henrik Ibsen. 'Bull McCabe' The Field John B. Keane ditto.
I'm just totally flabbergasted with this extraordinary situation. Those in authority, Newsom and Bass et al, should be made
accountable, in the severest sense. Their inept behaviour is reprehensible. 😢
I left California after living there for 45 years. You’d be shocked at how many conservative folks live there. Many have moved. There are a lot of good people there who did not vote for this dumpster Fire situation.
Very true.
Thank you.
Agreed ❤
New York is like that, I know I'm going to leave here, I have had enough.
Thank you. I don't think people understand how many conservatives live here. We are fighting but we have a very corrupt govt here as well. Too much to write here but you obviously get it. Thank you. I get tired of being accused of voting for these clowns.

Very good commentary by Victor Davis Hanson. Gov. Newsom and Mayor Bass drop the ball and should resign.
Why should they get off so easily by resigning when they are responsible for this tragedy? How many lives have they negatively impacted with their selfish agendas? If they do run away, I hope they live in Ghana--forever.
Enough cannot be said about the extraordinary perception Victor Hanson has. He is truly one of this modern world's wise men. The God given gift he shares with us should be acknowledged and treasured by all. I can never get enough of his valuable insight in a world that has gone mad. Mr. Hanson, please don't ever stop telling us the truth, it will set us free. The world will hate this man, the citizens that accept his truth will love him eternally.
