As California burns and fire hydrants run dry, one Hollywood star is breaking ranks to expose the shocking truth about Democratic leadership’s role in the disaster. What he reveals will make your blood boil.

California used to be called the Golden State. Now it’s starting to look more like the Burning State, and not just because of the wildfires ravaging its exclusive neighborhoods. The state’s rapid decline under progressive leadership has turned the once-shining beacon of American prosperity into a cautionary tale of mismanagement and failed policies.

For years, conservatives have warned about California’s destructive path under Democratic leadership. Sky-high taxes, rampant crime, and an exodus of businesses have become hallmarks of America’s most populous state. But nothing highlights the catastrophic failure of progressive governance quite like watching million-dollar homes burn while fire hydrants run dry.

Now, one of Hollywood’s own is speaking out. Actor Zachary Levi, star of “Shazam!” and longtime Los Angeles resident, appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” Wednesday night to deliver a blistering critique that even made President Trump’s previous warnings seem gentle by comparison.

Stars Turn Against Sacramento’s Failed Leadership

“This is just incredible mismanagement, incredibly poor leadership. I would go so far as to saying that it’s criminally negligent,” Levi declared, his voice carrying the weight of personal connection to the crisis. The actor, who grew up in Ventura and spent 15 years in Los Angeles, watched his hometown become a “post-apocalyptic war film.”

He’s not alone. Sarah Michelle Gellar took to social media to blast Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was busy working on her tan in Ghana while her city turned to ash. “City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar wrote.

Even traditionally non-political celebrities are joining the chorus. “Dancing with the Stars” professional Valentin Chmerkovskiy asked the million-dollar question: How does the “5th largest economy on the planet” leave firefighters without enough water to do their jobs?

Empty Hydrants, Empty Promises

Remember when Democrats promised their “green dreams” would protect California? Tell that to the firefighters staring at dry hydrants. Bass’s administration slashed the fire department’s budget by $17.5 million last year – apparently believing that fires would politely wait for better financial times.

Actor Steve Guttenberg found himself playing traffic cop, pushing abandoned cars out of fire trucks’ way. “It’s kind of like Zombieland,” he told Fox News Digital. Except in this zombie apocalypse, the monsters are in the governor’s mansion and city hall.

The Great California Insurance Exodus

Here’s a shock that isn’t electrical: State Farm and Allstate saw this train wreck coming. They fled California faster than tech companies moving to Texas, leaving 70% of Southern California homeowners without fire insurance just months before disaster struck.

President Trump warned about this exact scenario. “You’ve got to clean your forests,” he said back in 2020. But Newsom was too busy dining maskless at the French Laundry to listen.

Green Dreams Become Nightmares

While Newsom blames climate change faster than he can gel his hair, the real story is simpler. California dumps millions of acre-feet of fresh water into the ocean annually. Basic forest management? That’s apparently too “Trump-like” for Sacramento’s taste.

“There is something that’s almost criminally intentional about this,” Levi suggested, saying what many Californians are thinking but afraid to say out loud.

Key Takeaways:

• Democrat Leadership AWOL: Mayor in Africa while LA burns, Newsom cuts fire budgets

• Follow the Money: Insurance companies fled California months before crisis hit

• Liberal Policies Kill: Empty reservoirs and uncleared brush turned paradise into tinderbox

• Conservative Solution Needed: Basic forest management could have prevented disaster
