Hello, this is the Victor Davis Hansen show. Victor is the Martin and Nearly Anderson senior

fellow military history and classics at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and Marsha

Busky Distinguished Fellow in History at Hillsdale College. He is also an author, a scholar,

a political commentator, and we've got lots today on the news that we're going to be

looking at into Biden's recent trip to the Ukraine and some of the other current events happening

in our nation today. So stick with us, we'll take a break and come right back.

We're back. Victor, I always ask you how you're doing. I hope you're doing well. It seems like,

you know, California weather. Maybe if we could address that for a second, very, very strange. I'm

out here with you in California and we are getting some very cold, strange, strong winds and very

cold mornings and days in particular. What were your thoughts on these storms that are hitting

California? Well, I have a lot of thoughts. I mean, I get my weekly water report and this is the

wetest season that we've had in about 50 years. It's also the coldest and this is what's so

unusual about it is with all of that bounty that we had, 160% of normal, they let it 90% of it go

out. It's not there. They let it go out to the ocean. And that was Gavin Newsom in his bureaucracy.

And yet they did that because they said we're in a drought. We were still, officially, they say in a

drought and we're still talking about water rationing. So you have all this water. So why not

fill up the reservoirs or send them through the irrigation systems, irrigation systems in the

central valley and all these saturating ponds are everywhere. There's one right now on our old

place. Why doesn't he just do it? But he didn't. And it's still global warming, global warming,

global warming, global warming, global warming. But if you believe in global warming, then stock the

water so you can survive it. But they don't want to because if you can survive it, then they think

you've overcome global warming and you cannot be into like a COVID type lockdown emergency
