San Francisco Mayor London Breed is facing criticism for her handling of drug use and homelessness in the city. She has been accused of promoting open-air drug dealing and refusing to meet with concerned citizens. Several major stores have closed due to the city's issues, and Breed's approval rating is low. Some have called for her resignation.

You made similar promises in Dec 2021 while opening a secret drug use site. We forced you to close it but now you want to re-open it. You are out of ideas and refuse to meet w/ anyone outside your bubble. No wonder just 22% say you deserve to be re-elected. Consider resigning. https://t.co/DFVgx3SUKP

We’ve been working hard on public safety: •Approved funding to keep police officers working on our streets •Expanded City community ambassador programs •Invested resources for the DA to hire more prosecutors My upcoming budget delivers resources that builds on this work.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In the next 2 years, we plan to have at least 220 new officers on the ground. We are also adding 22 civilian positions to replace officers doing paperwork, allowing them to be on the streets. Retired police officers will become ambassadors, helping in various areas and filling positions. We are providing support for the district attorney by hiring 3 additional prosecutors to handle Fentanyl-related cases, which have increased by 115%. While things may not be happening as fast as people want, proposed changes will make a difference.

Speaker 0: So it's not as easy as we have all these applications, and all of a sudden, we should put all these people on the streets. No. We're not gonna set them up to fail. We're gonna make sure that they are a success. So our goal in the next 2 years, based on our numbers, based on the information I have so far, we anticipate that it. We'll have at least 220 that new officers on the ground. But the other thing we're doing that doesn't, it, account for that 220, adding another 22 civilian positions. They're gonna replace officers that are inside that are indoors, that are doing reports, that are doing paperwork, and so that those officers can also be out on the street. The other thing we're doing with our retired police officers who are ambassadors. We're helping to move them to areas where they can be helpful to be the eyes and ears on the streets or where they can fill positions. Like, like, for example, now at the airport, where we can provide retired officers instead of actual uniformed police officers so that we can then divert those people to work on our streets. And in addition to that, we are making sure that we have support for our district attorney. We've been able to provide resources so that she can hire 3 additional prosecutors to deal specifically with Fentanyl, arrest because we know that they've spiked, since the time last year. Fentanyl, seizures have gone up a 100 and 15%. So the officers are out there making the arrest, the reports, all the different layers of things that need to be done. And I know people want to see something happen now. And something is happening now. It's just not happening as fast as people want it to happen, and I understand that. But I do know with a lot of the proposed changes and the things that we're gonna do, we are gonna see a difference.

Video Transcript AI Summary
San Francisco Mayor London Breed acknowledges the city's crime crisis and the need for change. However, critics argue that she lacks leadership and hasn't taken effective action. The city's open-air drug markets and drug-related violence continue to escalate, with incidents like a brick being thrown at the mayor during a recent event. San Francisco's streets are plagued by litter, graffiti, and pavement defects, despite spending $100 million annually on cleaning. Additionally, there is controversy surrounding a proposed reparations plan that would provide cash payments and housing aid to black residents. Critics argue that this initiative is racist and not aligned with California's values. Oakland is also experiencing a surge in crime, with a Soros-funded district attorney reducing prosecutions.

Speaker 0: Speaking out of both sides of our mouth. On the one hand, we want change and we wanna hold people accountable. And on the other hand, we're willing to let people get away with murder. Speaker 1: So that is the mayor in San Francisco, London Breed, addressing the city's crime crisis. The Democrat tried to hold A meeting in a part of town known as an open air drug market, the reception was not kind. Michael Schellenberg is the founder of Environmental Progress with us in New York. To see you, sir. Thanks for coming to the East Coast. Good to Speaker 2: be with you. Speaker 0: Great to see you. Speaker 1: Yeah. The mayor also said compassion is killing people. We have to change what's happening. It's Too easy to get drugs. They're dying under our watch. We have to do better. What we are doing is not working. So that's an admission, Michael. Speaker 2: It is. Although she said the exact same thing almost a year and a half ago and really didn't do anything. So this is a person that lacks leadership. I don't think there's any question that she's gonna be voted out of office in a year and a half. Really? Yeah. I just think this this the the city is out of control. I mean, every time we think it's hit rock bottom, It discovers a new bottom. I mean, someone threw a brick at her yesterday, ended up hitting a high school student. Speaker 1: Wow. Speaker 2: They had to evacuate the mayor from the scene because it was so Chaotic. This is in an open air drug market where the where the mayor herself had created a so called supervised drug site that basically invited in drug dealers right across the street And allow people to smoke Fentanyl and meth in a city supervised Speaker 3: So why would she have an event there? Speaker 2: I think that they're out to lunch. I think that They talk to themselves. They're in a bubble. They don't really understand how bad the situation is on the street. These are folks that don't actually go downtown anymore. I mean, if you're you go to San Francisco's downtown right now, and it it's like a zombie apocalypse. I mean, there's just not people going I mean, you come to New York, and wow. All the people on the street enjoying the city. It depends on where you are. Okay. To be fair. Speaker 1: But we're Speaker 2: talking about large parts of San Francisco. This is, the epicenter of the AI boom. This is, Major tech this is the tech capital of the world, and it's been turned over to open air drug scenes, open air drug dealing Speaker 1: Wow. Speaker 2: All run by drug cartels. I mean, it's Just as bad as people imagine, you know, the latest, you know, as we as we were talking about before is that there's actually we've now discovered there's feces that cover, so many of San streets, in part because of all of the homeless drug addicts that leadership. We share Speaker 1: with our viewers a city survey. Right? This is the rating in San Francisco for some of the hardest hit areas. Street litter, 64%, moderate to severe. Okay. Sidewalk pavement defects, 75%, moderate to severe. Graffiti, 71% moderate to severe. I just gotta start somewhere. Speaker 2: I mean, you would never guess that this is One of the richest city in the country with the most billionaires anywhere, $100,000,000 a year just to clean the streets, and they can't keep them clean. I mean, there's graffiti everywhere. It's chaos. 540 police officers short of what we need for a minimum to maintain basic order. When you can't even protect the mayor in a public space, You've really lost the plot. Speaker 3: And at the same time, there's a consideration that the city wants to move forward, perhaps, on a reparations proposal. This call for number 4. The cost of San Francisco's reparation proposal is nearly $600,000 per household. And then the New York Times headline, Can reparations bring black residents back to San Francisco saying San Francisco has proposed the nation's most ambitious reparations plan, including $5,000,000 cash payments and housing aid that aims to bring people back. Is this going to happen? Will it work? Speaker 2: I mean, on its face, this is a racist initiative. We do not do we should not be giving people money based on the color of their skin. This is not what doctor King wanted in his March on Washington, where we wanna get beyond all of that. We did do great reparations in the past for the actual victims of of of government mistakes such as the Japanese internment camps. But in this case, we're talking about several, you know, 100 year 150 years has passed. This is based on race, and I just think none of us in California want that. We've now rejected racial referenced this twice at the ballot in California. This is not aligned with our values. Speaker 1: Michael, it's good to see you. You live in Berkeley. I listen to You're on the East Bay. Right? Speaker 2: That's right. Speaker 1: Is Berkeley as bad? Is Oakland as bad as what you see in San Francisco? It's not distinction? Speaker 2: I mean, Oakland is suffering a huge crime right wave right now. We have a Soros funded district attorney in Oakland who has basically stopped prosecuting most Crimes except for the most violent crimes. Look. People go to the Bay Area, and they go to the beautiful parts. They take photos, and they say, oh, it seems fine. But we now know that, you know, 50% of sidewalks in the commercial areas in San Francisco have feces on them. Right. 30% total in San Francisco. Those City numbers, this is after spending $100,000,000 a year on street cleaning. Speaker 1: So You Speaker 2: can't make it up. You can't make Speaker 0: it up. Speaker 1: Michael, thanks. Nice to see you in New York. Speaker 2: Glad to Speaker 0: have you here. Speaker 1: Yeah. Michael Shellenberger. Thank you.

Concerns about tax dollars supporting foreign nationals over struggling American citizens are raised. The impact on veterans and children's education is emphasized, alongside fears of increased crime and poverty. Calls for political change and a shift away from big government are made, with a prediction of a political shift in Chicago. The speaker predicts a rise in red (Republican) support in the city.

Speaker 0: How do you justify leaving the amount of people on the streets that out here. And you're building the tents, warm tents, to house 2,000 illegals. I went from tent to tent. Some of these people are veterans. How do Speaker 1: you justify people being homeless at this rate? We're seeing increased taxes. We're struggling to pay our mortgages. We're struggling to pay our bills, and we have 1,000 of dollars every month, 1,000,000 of dollars, $500,000,000 this year to support foreign nationals, and that's coming out of our pocket. It's going to people from another country, from foreign nationals. Those those countries have to take care of their people. We just don't have the resources. You know, it's nothing against them, but we we just don't have it. You know, we're struggling. This is government oppression at its finest. As a veteran myself, I just talked to a veteran in this tent right here. You know, we're seeing people who have given their all to their country, and they're just we just cast them out by the expressway with the trash. This is unconscionable. This and it's unconstitutional. Meanwhile, we have to follow every law. We can't go over the speed limit without getting the ticket sent to our house, but people can violate federal law and we come in and roll out the welcome mat. I give them our home equity, give them our sales taxes. They get the the best of our schools. Meanwhile, some like 90% of black children are not reading, writing, and doing math proficiency, but they do it all under the guise of this fake diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense. We just need to start voting differently. We need to start pulling ourselves out of these government institutions starting with the public school system. And we need to move on from from big government and from Speaker 0: the city of Chicago's political machine. This is taking away from American citizens. American children who are already struggling, academically. You're gonna bring and bring in a new group of children, a new group of people, take those resources away from Americans to accommodate this new group of people, that is gonna make the children gonna fall fall further behind. Unemployment is going through the roof. Poverty, crime, this is going to impact our communities across this city to the point where violence, murder, robbery is gonna spike. Not just with Americans, but also with these people, coming here. 3000 illegal immigrants are living in this factory. Almost, what, what, a half a block long? And this is gonna transcend into public housing. They keep saying that there will be no public housing for illegal immigrants. That's not true. So we pay to be homeless, basically, now as United States citizens. We're gonna flip Chicago red. The Democratic party is done in Chicago, and that's a fact. By summer, you think it's a lot of them coming in. You watch the uprising of red in Chicago.

Speaker 0: I drove through downtown LA today, and what I saw shocked me to the core. LA is a sunken place. There were stray dogs everywhere roaming the streets. There was burned down, destroyed businesses on every corner, and there were city parks that were overtaken by homeless encampments. But what really shocked the soul was seeing the human suffering, people digging through garbage in the street, living in complete squalor. 3rd world dehumanizing conditions you've never seen in America. Hey, but at least this guy's wearing a mask. Right? Yeah. This is a video I took just driving down a random street in downtown LA. This is how people live in the city of angels. This is the end result of policies that break people, dehumanize people, and destroy people. People. So the question needs to be asked, who's to blame for all this? Who caused this? Well, Los Angeles has been a single party run state for the last 70 years. Democrat policies that masquerade as human rights policies are actually cruel. They trod and destroy and erode the economic stability of a totalitarian Marxism where the average man or woman gets treated like garbage, gets treated worse than an animal. And the elite at the top in their mansions surrounding Los Angeles inside of gated communities guarded by men with guns, they don't ever get to see the real results of their policies. So that's why I filmed this video so that everyone can see what's actually happening in Los Angeles, what the real world consequences and results are for horrendous dehumanizing policies. So So can the city of angels be saved? Based on what I saw, it'll take a miracle.

California’s Governor is a Democrat. California’s Mayor is a Democrat. California is a one-Party Democrat rule state. California prioritizes an Equity Agenda over competence. The horror we’re seeing now is the result of incompetent Democrat governance. https://t.co/mLMbuwGDhb

Video Transcript AI Summary
California's current wildfires exemplify the failures of Democratic governance, with the state led entirely by Democrats. The focus on a far-left equity agenda has compromised essential services, such as firefighting and policing, leading to dire consequences like empty fire hydrants. While California has its beautiful areas, the ongoing crisis is alarming, with people losing their homes and lives. When confronted about the situation, officials like Karen Bass often lack answers for their incompetence. This situation explains why many are leaving California for states like Florida, seeking more competent governance amidst the chaos and destruction.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So you have to understand what is going on in California. The wildfires that you're seeing right now is one of the most pure examples of top to bottom Democrat incompetent governance you will ever see in your life. You have to understand that California's mayor is a democrat, California's governor is a democrat, California is run top to bottom, and even the state assemblies by democrats, the California far left equity agenda pretty much supersedes everything in that state. Okay. This is how they're hiring firefighters. This is how they're hiring police officers. They are paying people upwards of 6 figures to do basic things that they cannot do. There is no water in the fire hydrants. Alright? This is what happens when you have a democrat super majority. Now I'm not one of these conservatives that hates California. California can be an absolutely beautiful place, particularly, when you get outside of LA, and you get outside of Beverly Hills. So what I'm seeing right now is absolutely horrifying. It is horrifying to all of us that are actually watching it, and I'm not trying to score political points. I'm not trying to use this to get any kind of moment like that. What I really want people to understand, as we watch what's going on in California, that this is what happens when you give Democrats top to bottom absolute power. It is an objective failure. People are dying in the streets, people are losing their homes, people are losing absolutely everything. When a reporter confronted Karen Bass about this, she was stunned into silence because these people are never called to the court, and these people are never ever ever forced to give any examples, in any, sort of explanations for their incompetency. So the next time you wonder why people are fleeing California and fleeing these places and going to places like Florida and going to places that you can at least expect the most basic level of competent governance. Look at the disaster and the destruction that is going on in California right now, and know exactly what caused this.

Newsom cut funding for fire prevention and failed to build necessary water resources, while Bass slashed the fire department's budget and left for Ghana amid the risks. Their focus on radical Left priorities has led to neglect in essential areas like fire management and public safety. Californians need to recognize this failure and demand leaders who prioritize practical solutions over ideology.

@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger

Over the next few weeks you’re going to hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing that could have been done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles. Those will be lies. They could have prevented them. Governor Newsom cut the funding for preventing forest fires and failed to build sufficient water resources for fighting fires. Mayor Karen Bass cut $17.5 million in funding for the Los Angeles Fire Department and then went to Ghana even though she knew of the risk of catastrophic fires. It’s true that California, in general, and Los Angeles, in particular, are fiery places. It’s true that the Santa Ana winds made the fires worse. But Newsom and Bass have known about those hazards for all of their careers and failed to deal with them. Their rank incompetence and lack of leadership are shocking and scandalous. It’s hard to overstate how badly they screwed up water management. LA firefighters haven’t had the water they needed. Newsom hasn’t built the new water reservoirs that Los Angeles needed. And Newsom even cut the budget for water infrastructure projects last year. Why is that? Part of the reason is that they were focused on other things. Making the fire department more racially diverse. Climate change. Homelessness. And the reason they were focused on those things is because those are what the radical Left that controls the Democratic party wanted them to focus on. Year after year, they do nothing while focusing on things like trans and Trump and climate and ignoring the things that really matter to the people of California. The Democrats in California aren’t like Democrats in other states. They are radicals. I would know, since when I was a young radical I moved to California for that reason. As many of us get older, we become more moderate. We become more practical. We understand firefighters and police officers are necessary. We are reminded of the importance of things like safe streets and hard work and good schools. But more than that, I saw the consequences of radical progressive policies on the environment, homelessness, crime, education, water, and everything else. Violent criminals, in particular, are devouring Los Angeles, Oakland, and the rest of California. The people who control the Democratic Party in California worship books about Los Angeles, like City of Quartz by the Marxist author Mike Davis. In that book, Davis claims that the problem in Los Angeles is that too much money goes to things like firefighting to protect wealthy neighborhoods. They did the same thing on crime and homelessness. They failed to provide adequate funding to the police. They weakened the laws that allowed for burglaries and robberies. They subsidized homelessness, attracting homeless people from around the United States to camp illegally and start fires. Over half of the fires in places like Los Angeles and Oakland are caused by the homeless committing arson, often out of some petty revenge. We don’t know what started all of the fires, but at least one started within the housing subdivision. Others may have started in the interface between housing and wildlands. Or it could have been started by the homeless. Whatever the case, California and LA didn’t invest enough in preventing fires because they were distracted by radical Left causes. When Rick Caruso ran for Mayor against Karen Bass, he called for increasing the fire department’s budget. A big part of the reason he lost is simply because he was white. I watched focus groups in 2022 and the most racist people were white liberals in Los Angeles. When they discussed the mayoral race, the white people overwhelmingly said they couldn’t vote for a white man and had to vote for a black woman because she was black. The Latino men and women in separate focus groups were much less racist. They wanted to know about their policies. It was the radical Left that invented the racist idea that white people alive today should feel guilty about things white people did in the past. Racist white guilt led people in Los Angeles and California to vote against a guy who would have prevented those fires. And so, over the next few weeks, when you hear Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the Democratic Party tell you that there’s nothing they could have done to prevent the fires from destroying Los Angeles, don’t believe them. It’s time for California to grow up and move beyond the juvenile Leftism that has destroyed the state and destroyed Los Angeles. We can’t trust our leaders to run anything. It’s not just incompetence. It’s that they really don’t care. It’s time for Californians to demand new leaders — ones who aren’t beholden to the radicals who control the Democratic Party. .

Video Transcript AI Summary
Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass are misleading the public about the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles, claiming nothing could have been done to prevent them. Newsom cut funding for fire prevention and water resources, while Bass reduced the Los Angeles Fire Department's budget. Despite knowing the risks, they prioritized other issues over essential fire management. The lack of investment in infrastructure has left firefighters without adequate resources. Additionally, radical left policies have weakened law enforcement and contributed to homelessness, which is linked to many fires. The focus on identity politics has overshadowed critical issues, leading to poor leadership and management. Californians need to demand new leaders who prioritize practical solutions over radical agendas.

I believed the LA fires would prompt action in California, but I was mistaken. A significant portion of these fires is linked to the homeless population, while the state lacks sufficient firefighters and resources. Instead of addressing these urgent issues, Governor Newsom is focused on his podcast and political battles. Despite warnings about impending disasters, funding for fire prevention was cut in favor of other priorities. The narrative that nothing could have been done to prevent the fires is misleading; leadership failures have led to this crisis. It's time for change in California's leadership.

@shellenberger - Michael Shellenberger

I thought the LA fires would wake California up. I was wrong. *Half* of LA fires are started by ~50k meth/fentanyl addicts/mentally ill homeless. LA has half the firefighters it needs. There's not enough hydrant water. And Gavin Newsom is focused like a laser on his podcast.

LA firefighters lacked necessary water, and Newsom cut water infrastructure budgets. The Democratic party is controlled by radicals, as I know from my own past. They prioritize things like race and climate over practical needs. They weakened laws, subsidized homelessness, leading to arson-caused fires. The left even chose Bass as mayor because she was a black woman, passing over a white candidate who would have focused on preventing these issues.

In Surf City, $9 million has been invested in infrastructure, and 250 businesses have opened due to the surfing economy and tourism, making it one of the safest places in the world.

The speaker accuses woke journalists of being too chicken to do so and urges them to stop criticizing El Salvador's progress.

Speaker 0: I figured out why the left hates Bukele. It's because they're jealous and insecure because they don't know how to build anything. They don't know how to build a business as Bukele did, his father did. They don't know how to build a country as Bukele has been doing now for years. They don't understand why Salvadorans would support a man with 83, 80 four percent of the vote because all their people have to steal elections in order to get elected. Uh-oh. I said it, but it's true. The thing about this is, here, people are actually happy with their government. They're actually excited about what's going on. Here in Surf City, Nine Million Dollars has been invested in infrastructure and in the local economy. 250 businesses have opened that are supported in part by the surfing economy, but also just tourists who appreciate that it's one of safest places, not just in Latin America, but in the world. Meanwhile, these leftists, they can't run a country. They can't run a city. They can't run a business. They can't run anything. And so, of course, they're jealous. They're jealous of the fact that Bukele built this cool surfing Mecca. They're jealous of the fact that this country is on the up. They're jealous of the fact that this small country is able to turn around when nothing that they've ever done, even with all the money in the world and all the advantages, nothing has ever worked. You know, I would challenge any of them. If you liberal journalists are so confident that you know what's going on, why don't you come here to El Salvador and talk to people in the barrios, talk to real ordinary people who voted for president Bukele by eighty three, eighty four percent of the vote. And why don't you tell them your opinion that their dreams are worthless? Because that's what you believe. Right? Why don't you tell them to not believe what they see with their eyes around them as their country improves, as their economy grows, as their wallets grow because they're richer than they've ever been, as they can safely walk to the gas station at night, which you can't even do in Los Angeles or Houston, San Antonio, Chicago? Chicago, why don't you tell them that their dreams are false? None of you will do it because you woke journalists are all chicken anyway. But stop trying to crap on a country that's really making incredible progress.

Gloria Alvarez, a viral influencer and critic of socialism, is running a "bullshit" campaign for president of Guatemala, despite not meeting the age or party requirements. She aims to highlight the lack of concrete proposals from other candidates. Alvarez argues socialism has failed globally due to its ignorance of human nature and creates a "Stockholm syndrome" where people demand more government despite its corruption. She contrasts Latin America's cycle of socialism with the success of free markets, citing Chile as an example, while acknowledging Pinochet's dictatorship tainted the perception of economic freedom. Alvarez advocates for free markets and individual freedoms, criticizing both the socialist left and the "mediocre" populist right in Latin America. Her platform includes decriminalizing surrogacy, psychedelics, and sex work to empower individuals and create new industries. Despite facing hate, her campaign has resonated with young people.

I'm running for president of Guatemala. Speaker 0: Guatemala is one of Latin America's poorer countries. It veers between crony capitalism and socialism. What she's seen makes her want to warn people about socialism. You're teaching millennials socialism? Speaker 1: Yes. This came out after a survey where they said 10 of every 10 millennials, eight of them would support socialism, but then when they were asked to define or describe socialism, none of them could. So I grabbed a Soviet hat that I bought in St. Petersburg, and I put a Che Guevara sticker with Mickey Mouse ears, and I started explaining Marxism and communism and socialism from its very beginnings until its current days in Latin America. And the basic premise was that when Marx was around, there was no psychology. We didn't know that we are wired to have self esteem and self interest. So it's an obsolete idea that has unfortunately killed millions of people. And yeah, it's one of the videos, although it's twenty six minutes, and they say that millennials don't like long content, this one got a lot of views. Speaker 0: How do you know about socialism? Speaker 1: Well, I studied in a very libertarian university in Francisco Marroquin, and one thing that they do is actually teaching socialism and communism. And they make you read Marx and Engels and all the struggles that were happening in the nineteenth century with the Industrial Revolution. And I think that this is what is lacking in most national universities. People push for socialism because they don't study it. They don't know its history. They don't know its massive failures. Speaker 0: Young people in America like socialism, but it's bigger in Latin America. Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the constant in Latin America. We have like 50 shades of socialism, right? You have extreme socialism in countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and then you have less worse cases, but that are also dramatic, especially when you talk about massive inflation like Argentina or Brazil or Mexico, moderate socialism like Honduras or Guatemala, but we're all part of that same mentality that the government has these magical powers in order to control the economy, tell you how to live your life, and definitely not let you be free because you're too dumb or too poor in order to be free and responsible of your own life. Speaker 0: And people see the effects. They see the inflation. They see property being taken. But they keep voting for it. Speaker 1: Yeah. It's like a Stockholm syndrome, you know. Everywhere you go in Latin America, you have massive protests all of the time. Unions protesting, the education system protesting, the health system protesting all of the time. But when you go and you ask people who should take care of the health, who should take care of education, of football, of arts, of whatever, they always answer the government. It's like constantly complaining about corruption, but then the solution is more government. So how are you going to not have corruption if you leave everything in the hands of the government? Unfortunately, what we're seeing is the Latin Americanization of the rest of the world. Because when you look at Europe or you look at The United States, they are becoming more like us. The circus that we have been used to for decades, now you see it here. Things like the riots in the capital or what is going on in Europe. Those things are like we're used to them because we are developing countries, but it is sad to see how more developed countries are also falling in this trap. Speaker 0: I would think people would see that chaos. They'd want to move the other way. Speaker 1: And some of them do. In fact, 60,000,000 Latin Americans have voted with their feet, and they live in The United States. And in cases like my country, they are responsible for the number one income of dollars that we have back home. Remittances sustain our country. Speaker 0: People in The United States sending money back to Guatemala. Yeah, Speaker 1: that's the number $1 income that we have. So this proves that we don't need governments to take care of our poor people. If there is freedom, if there is private property, if there is rule of law, if there is an atmosphere where you can thrive, then Latin Americans do thrive. I do not believe in those theories that say that because we have better weather or because we are an inferior race or whatever. I just think that whenever there is freedom and rule of law, people thrive. And this is what we're seeing. Venezuelans don't stay in Venezuela. You don't see Hondurans moving to neighboring Nicaragua, which is more socialist. They come to The United States. Speaker 0: And they prosper when they do. Speaker 1: They do, a lot. And then they sustain the ones that are left behind. And it seems to me we have like two different Latin Americans at the same time. The moochers and the looters that Anne Rand so well defined in Atlas Shrugged, they are the ones that want to keep Latin America in socialism, in protectionism, in markets that are not open. And then there are people that struggle to get out of this reality and they start thriving and working abroad and helping the people back home to have a life. Speaker 0: The moochers and the looters. Mhmm. That's harsh. Speaker 1: It is, but it's it's true. Speaker 0: In your video, you say expropriations that are still an everyday thing in Latin America. Yeah. Government seizes property every day? Speaker 1: Almost every day. In cases like Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, it's an everyday thing. They had to abandon their farm in Nicaragua because they protested against Ortega's plans to take their land. And then they come up always with this confusing laws where, for example, the mining industry, the hydroelectric industry are never secured because any day the president can say, well, there's this new law and we're gonna seize some of your production. So when you don't have certainty, it's really hard to invest. Speaker 0: You gave a speech to a local Spanish government where you talked about free stuff, free education. You said nothing is free. Speaker 1: I wish that there were free stuff. I wish that there were trees where schools and hospitals will just rise out of nothing. But if you're going to pay people for what they do, there needs to be an economy that runs in order to have supply and demand. And it's incredible how governments in Latin America are always promising free stuff when every cent that the government has is because someone else produced it and was forced to pay it into taxes. Speaker 0: So the rich will pay. Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the rich always have these agreements with the governments where they evade taxes, and then you have massive informal economies when the middle class is always the one paying more taxes. Speaker 0: The rich, the very rich can slime out of these rules. Speaker 1: They do. Speaker 0: Yeah. Talk about some of your popular TikTok videos. Speaker 1: What's wrong with us? Speaker 0: Are we stupid? We have Stockholm syndrome? We want to live in misery? Speaker 1: Yeah, ask these questions rhetorically like Socrates did back in the time of the Greeks because maybe when you question people why they keep doing what they're doing, they can reflect. I think that not only you have to show them that freedom works, it's also asking them the honest question, why do people keep doing what doesn't work? And not only socialists, not only is the left wing, it's also the right wing. Oppositions are so crappy in Latin America that then socialists get back into power. We've seen this from 2015 until today. Macri in Argentina, Duque in Colombia, Pena Nieto in Mexico, Perez Molina in Guatemala horrible right wing that doesn't work because they don't push for free markets. Speaker 0: Molina, when running for office, proposed good things like legalizing drugs. But once in office, he took bribes and conspired to help his friends. Drug reform never happened. Speaker 1: They use and manipulate people with some of the libertarian ideas when they're in campaign. But once they go into office, they raise taxes, they continue with protectionism, they don't do any of the truly retiring reforms that should be needed in order to have rule of law and free markets. Speaker 0: Cubans warned Venezuelans about Yugoslavia? Speaker 1: They did. They did in 1988, and the Venezuelans would laugh at them, and they would be like, Beware, this is how Fidel started. And they would be like, No, Chavez is going to be different. And then Colombians say the same about Petro, having the Venezuelans, you know, right next door, and they were like, beware, Petro sounds like Chavez, and we always say, no, no, no, this is not going to happen here, until it does. And it was the same with Speaker 0: the Speaker 1: You Speaker 0: see the refugees from Venezuela escape to Colombia Yeah. And the Colombians vote for socialism. Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. It's it's insane. It is insane. Speaker 0: Socialism has a good sales agent. Speaker 1: That is the problem. They hate free markets, but they have the best marketing ever. Speaker 0: Talk about this video of you. You're in Guatemala. There are Marxist protesters hosting Chavez's brother. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They're bringing Hugo Chavez's brother to the national university, San Carlos University, USAC, which I paid with my taxes. And I'm like, okay, so let's let's get you a voice inside of this conference. And in the minute that we got there, these students that act like a Guatemalan KKK because they disguised themselves, they came out and they say, you're not allowed to talk. And I was like, why not? I paid this university with my taxes. You're hosting the brother of a dictator and an assassin. So it's only fair that there are the two sides of the story. Unfortunately, they didn't let us in. Speaker 0: They're kind of like antifa in The United States. Speaker 1: Yep. The cancel culture is always from that side and that's that's sad because it's like, well, if if you're in the right side of history, what are you afraid These kind of conferences are multiplying all over Latin America because this is the thing with socialism of the twenty first century. They have so much money through drug dealing, the oil of Venezuela, that they do massive propaganda in the rest of the countries to spread lies. Speaker 0: In Mexico, they've just elected a big, almost socialist. Speaker 2: Mexico has elected leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador as its next president. Speaker 0: Double the minimum wage. Is he a socialist? Speaker 1: He's a socialist, but now we have a new breed of socialism because after the disaster of Venezuela, nobody really dares to go just like one day with their finger and be like, Seize this. Expropiate that. They do it in a more subtle way, and this is what is happening in Mexico. For example, they banned the airport, which was one of the most important investment deals for Mexico in the next fifty years. But this guy is not as extreme as Hugo Chavez was, and that's why people say, Well, this is not socialism, but it is. You already don't have free markets in Latin America, and then guys like this come and they just make it worse. Speaker 0: Chile was the success story of Latin America. Privatized its social security. It had a relatively free market, and yet there are protests all the time. Speaker 2: Yeah. Protesters targeted not just the fair hike and the education policy, but the whole neoliberal system and its impact on health care, rent, utilities, pensions. Speaker 1: Not only protests, they want to go all the way like the Cuban model. They want to go all the way Marxist. The way I explain it is that you cannot enforce free markets through a dictatorship. Speaker 0: Unfortunately, in Chile, Augusto Pinochet tried to do that. Milton Friedman, a free market economist from the University of Chicago, met with Pinochet. Speaker 3: The Chicago boys played a major role in designing and implementing the economic reforms. Speaker 0: Following their advice, Chile's dictator cut tariffs and taxes. He privatized state industries and Social Security. Chile prospered. When Pinochet took over, Chile was poorer than the rest of Latin America. Adopting free markets made Chile dramatically richer. Speaker 3: Chile is by all odds the the best success story in Latin America today. Speaker 0: However, Pinochet was also a vicious dictator. His cruelty allowed leftists to smear economic freedom as something awful. But it was Pinochet who was awful, not economic freedom. Markets by letting people vote with our dollars, Fight tyrants and central planners. Speaker 4: In one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America, Chileans are more affluent than at any time in their history. Speaker 1: Freedom works. Speaker 0: That's why Gloria Alvarez keeps making these videos. Speaker 1: Do the educational work and the philosophical work that it takes into understanding why freedom is important. And I think that the example of Chile is very similar to The United States. If you don't keep educating new generations in the philosophical aspect of why individual freedoms are sacred, eventually you will have a generation with material wealth that forgets the importance of these values and then they go out and say, let's have socialism. Speaker 3: Equation, feed the poor. This is class war. Speaker 0: I don't get it. They can see it. Look at Uruguay over there. Look at Argentina. Look at horrors at Venezuela. They're not saying we want that, but they think they can get it without the bad stuff? Speaker 1: Exactly. Always says this time is gonna work. It didn't work in Cuba because Fidel got corrupted. It didn't work in Venezuela because Chavez died. It didn't work in Brazil because they incarcerated Lula, and now Lula is back in place. And it's always, let's try it with the new guy. The new guy is going to do it better. And it doesn't. It is what George Orwell explained in Animal Farm. Speaker 0: From now on, I'll protect your interests and I'll make your decisions. Speaker 1: The pigs become worse than the humans. One of the most clear examples has been Spain with Pablo Iglesias. Speaker 5: Fist in the air, fighting for the downtrodden. Speaker 1: Their socialist leader, and in the moment that he got more and more power, he bought a mansion. Speaker 5: The new 250 square meter home, swimming pool, and guest house, adding up to a total property value of €600,000. Speaker 1: And when his followers see that, they always say, Well, yeah, okay, but it's a little house. There's always this justifying the socialist leader when they start living in contradictions. Because when socialism happens and it collapses, and as Margaret Thatcher says, they run out of other people's money, they don't move to Cuba or Nicaragua or North Korea. They go to Miami, they do shopping in New York, they move to Paris like the daughter of Hugo Chavez. And when people see these contradictions, it's like nothing happens. It's really frustrating. Speaker 0: I noticed that Bernie Sanders, socialist, has three houses. Speaker 1: Yeah. Socialists always loved their luxuries. All throughout history, can see that. Rolex in the Che Guevara, big houses, yachts with Fidel Castro. Speaker 0: This popular new president of Chile. 35 year old Gabriel Boric will become the new president of Chile. Wants to abolish the successful private pension funds, make public transport free, universal health care free, raise taxes on the rich, end student debt. These are popular ideas here too. Speaker 1: Yeah, they're popular everywhere. It doesn't matter that they don't work. They sound beautiful and people like beautiful. That's the thing with socialism. It's like a beautiful iceberg, right? In an iceberg you see the tip and it's all about brotherhood and free stuff, and we're all going to get along and empathy. But in the depths of that iceberg, the sea level, is where the misery and the genocide and the injustice and the exiles happen and nobody seems to see it. Whereas the capitalist or libertarian iceberg, it sounds horrible in the tip. It's all about selfishness and greed and individualism and capitalism and all these buzzwords that people hate. But it's in its depth that progress and freedom and tolerance and thriving economies actually happen, right? So we're competing against a very unfair marketing because nobody studies the depths of of of the history and lessons that economics give us. Speaker 6: Chilean voters rejected the proposed new constitution. They said no to what would have been one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. Speaker 0: In Chile, the people did vote against the new socialist constitution. Speaker 1: Yes, by a bit. Because most countries in Latin America are divided into people who want to thrive, the mortars of the world, like Ayn Rand would call them, the Howard Roark's, the Dagny Taggart's, the pushers of the world versus the moochers and the looters. And sometimes I say in Latin America, listen, it's going to be impossible to save our countries. If you look at our political map, we're always going from extreme left to mediocre right wing, and it's just 50 shades of socialism. So maybe we're never going to be able to save Mexico or Uruguay or Argentina. But maybe we can ask for a new territory where the people that are fed up with this mediocre right wing and horrible left can live in peace with actual free markets. I think that that's even more possible than just expecting a country not to be in this horrible pendulum. Speaker 0: Your country has been sort of in the middle. Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, when you have this extreme socialism, anything can see as freedom. But the sad thing of Guatemala is that it follows Marxist logics in its health system, in its education system, in its rule of law. Unfortunately, the one and only task that the government should have, security and justice, is the least funded one. For every quetzal, that's our dollar, that we pay in taxes, only 2¢ go to security and justice. And the result of this is that 98% of the crimes are never solved. Our jails and prisons are universities for thieves. You have, of course, judges that are always bribed. And 98% of the national budget is spent on bureaucracy, useless bureaucracy. So when you don't have a government doing its job and you have massive bureaucracy stealing, it is really hard to have rule of law and free markets implemented. This is the case of Guatemala, and the saddest part of it is that we have had right wing governments, a military, a comedian, a doctor, that have only made things worse. So imagine having like three Donald Trumps in a row in The United States. How are you going to tell people not to go to the other extreme of socialism? I mean, I empathize with that when I see the mediocrity of the right wing in Latin America. And I cannot only blame the success of socialism. It's also the mediocrity of the populist right wing. Speaker 0: But your presidential campaign is all social issues, like decriminalized surrogate motherhood. Speaker 1: Absolutely, but in a free market. I won't ask anybody to use their taxes in order to fund programs for surrogacy. Speaker 0: Why is it important to decriminalize surrogacy? Speaker 1: Well, when you look at a country like Guatemala where there's such poverty, malnourishment, we have one of the highest indexes of malnourishment and abandoned children. Why is Guatemala poor? And how can we have different markets that are not controlled by the oligarchs that hate free markets and love their protectionisms and their privileges? And thinking of what those markets could be in order for people to step out of poverty, well, your first vehicle to step out of poverty is, of course, your body. So what can a woman do with her body in order to acquire wealth? One of those options is surrogacy. Speaker 0: Which is not legal in Guatemala. Speaker 1: It's not legal. Speaker 0: People in America say it's wrong. Heritage Foundation surrogacy harms women and children. In Britain, The Guardian. All surrogacy is exploitation. Speaker 1: Well, the thing with freedom, and especially when you're competing against utopias, because socialism is a utopia, right? They promise you heaven on earth. But you're also competing against this new conservative, extreme right wing utopia, that there was a better past somewhere in the 50s. So when you're competing against two utopias and you come with freedom, people are like, Yeah, but convince me. Convince me that your solution is better. And what I say to people is, Listen, freedom is not perfection. All that freedom implies is that nobody else makes decisions for you, that you are the own agent of your life and that we are going to treat you as the adult that you are, not as a kid that is incapable of really taking care of yourself. This is what freedom means. And people don't like freedom. They like their populist messiah promising them bullshit because then it doesn't happen. The populist messiah promises you never happens. Free stuff, a life without effort, happiness forever. So, what I am offering here is an alternative based in reality. But it is hard because people like their utopias. Speaker 0: You want to legalize psychedelics? Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 0: Mushrooms, Ayahuasca. People have had bad trips. Speaker 1: Yeah. I know that there are risks, but the more that something is transparent and the more that you have information, the better decisions that you can make. Guatemala, because of its geographical position in the planet and its amazing nature, is already a natural house for all these plant medicines that are demonstrating amazing results for people with PTSD, obesity, obsessive compulsive disorders, depression, suicidal thoughts. Speaker 0: They grow all of their herbs to create their local medicine. Speaker 1: So I was thinking, imagine our country could become the number one, or at least in the top five, safe havens for the world for alternative medicine. Let's open new industries that can make our country thrive. Speaker 2: But you believe in freedom, don't Speaker 0: want to legalize other drugs. Speaker 1: Someday, other Guatemalans could see that legalizing drugs is the better way because the war on drugs is a complete failure. But I think if we tackle first plant medicine, it's going to be easier for a super conservative country to understand its benefits. Speaker 0: You want to legalize sex work, prostitution? Yes, Speaker 1: because it's already happening in Guatemala, and unfortunately women are exploited and enslaved by their pimps in horrible ways. Prostitutes are not safe anywhere in the country. If you legalize prostitution, you have a chance of making them their main characters of their own industry, and they can call the shots worldwide if you legalize it because the difference is your will. If you voluntarily, as an adult, want to have consensual relations with somebody, why should a government forbid that? And it is easier when something is transparent and legal to tackle the things that are not. Speaker 0: What's the reaction been to your campaign? Speaker 1: It's been really good, especially among young people. For years, I always received a lot of hate from socialists to conservatives, and this campaign How Speaker 0: do you receive the hate? Just comments on social media? Speaker 1: Social media, yeah. A lot of harassment and comments, and this campaign, in my postings, 95% is positive comments. Speaker 0: There's a movement toward your ideas. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: But how old are you? Speaker 1: I am 38. Speaker 0: To run for president in Guatemala, the rule says you gotta be 40. Speaker 1: You gotta be 40, and you have to have a political party. I don't have neither, and I am not interested in having the political So, Speaker 0: presidential campaign is bullshit. Speaker 1: It is bullshit, but it's less bullshit than the bullshit presented by the 32 candidates and the 32 political parties that they are not proposing anything. So one of my dreams with this campaign is for people to compare. How come this crazy woman that cannot run for president is telling me concretely her 15 proposals, whereas all these candidates that are currently running are not telling me anything? So who is the bullshitter? And what I am looking for with this campaign is to get invited to a presidential debate. Speaker 0: And if you were in the debate? Speaker 1: I would confront all the candidates with their lack of proposals. Speaker 0: When you messaged me on Twitter, you didn't say that you couldn't be president. Speaker 1: I say it in the last bit of the video because, you know, this is like a a movie happening, and and I I wanted to do the trailer. But you know what is also very interesting? Most Guatemalans before my campaign, didn't even know that 40 years old was required or that you needed to have a political party. So, only making people knowing that is a big difference and a big change because now I have Guatemalans saying, oh my god, I didn't know that that was a thing. Speaker 0: In The United States, you would be eligible. Speaker 1: Yeah, because here is 35, right? And independent candidacies are legal already. Speaker 0: So Guatemala has a lot of dumb rules. Speaker 1: Yes, it does. More than 70,000 to be exact that, of course, nobody reads. How are you gonna read 70,000 laws? It's ridiculous. Speaker 0: Gloria Alvarez, good luck to you. Speaker 1: Thank you very much, John.

Downtown LA's decline into a dystopian reality stems from years of bureaucratic failure. Politicians focus on vanity projects while Skid Row suffers from rampant drug use and homelessness. The Laken Riley Act highlights how D.C. favors performative actions over genuine solutions, leaving over 70,000 homeless. This situation reflects a mismanaged system where taxpayer money supports a chaotic environment. Without cutting unnecessary agencies and reallocating funds to essential infrastructure, LA's deterioration will continue.

Downtown LA’s collapse into a dystopian nightmare isn’t an accident—it’s the result of decades of bureaucratic rot. While politicians funnel billions into vanity projects and luxury apartments, Skid Row’s tent cities explode with meth, fentanyl, and human suffering. The Laken Riley Act proves D.C. prioritizes performative gestures over real solutions, leaving 70,000+ homeless to rot as elites party behind barricades. This isn’t governance—it’s a taxpayer-funded circus where the clowns run the asylum. Until we slash bloated agencies and redirect funds to actual infrastructure, LA’s decay will keep spreading.

I witness the struggles of drug users daily, caring for them in the hospital while feeling frustrated by the city's failure to address the crisis. It seems lawlessness is tolerated, yet I face penalties for minor infractions. I wish my insights on healthcare economics gained more traction, so I’m working on a comic to explain it better. I acknowledge my evolving views and find humor in social media dynamics. Ultimately, I love helping those in need, but it's disheartening when policies hinder our efforts to support them.

@DrDiGiorgio - Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA

San Francisco in a nutshell. I pass well over a hundred drug users every morning, including many milling about outside our hospital and parking garage. I care for them when they land in our hospital and I’m proud to do that work. But the city refuses to revoke sanctuary protections for the drug dealers fueling the crisis. It won’t enforce basic laws that could restore order. And yet, when I stop for less than a minute to pick up my son from daycare, I get ticketed for not curbing my wheels on a 5% grade. Lawlessness is tolerated. The law abiding are penalized.

Speaker 0: I am here because the only real solution is for us to rise to the historic challenge to drive this regime from power, not in 2026, not in 2028, but right fucking now. Trump must go now. Trump must go now. Trump must go now. Trump must go now. So today, I'm going to lay out why we say this, and I'm also gonna lay out what we need to do together to make that real. Fascism has momentum and direction. Momentum. It's moving fast by the day, advancing by the hour. Direction. Always in one direction. More repression, more violence, more terror. Direction. Project twenty twenty five on steroids. Hitler's playbook but with nuclear weapons. What's happening right here in DC right now is their next leap. If they can lock this down and if people get used to it, it becomes the model for the whole country with ever increasing brutality and less and less space for us to stop it. Homeless homeless encampments bulldozed, checkpoints in our neighborhoods, an occupying army of masked men with guns roaming the streets, hunting down black youth, dripping with our white supremacy. We have seen many beautiful people in DC rise up, and I wanna make some noise for them. Make some noise for the people directing people away from checkpoints. Make some noise for the people who hear about these checkpoints and walk out of the nightclub and tell those fascists to get the fuck out. Make some noise for the people doing neighborhood patrols and watches alerting the community. And some noise for the people that are banging their pots and pans every night at 8PM. Make some noise for the veterans urging guards members to refuse to obey unconstitutional orders. Now as we make noise for those standing up, we gotta also be honest. We here today, all of us are beautiful together. But when fascists take over the capital, when they send in the National Guard, the FBI, hunting down our youth, attacking the homeless, these streets should be flooded. Trump will not stop as long as he is allowed to remain in power. Donald Trump. That's right. Backed by a fascist regime that will not stop until everyone they hate is either locked up, disappeared, or forced to their knees. We cannot allow this. We must drive this regime from power. Trump must go. No. There is no living with this. There is no making peace with this. There is no waiting it out, doing our best to protect some people for some time while it only gets worse and worse and worse. Let's be real. We've already let it go way too far. To this end, I am honored to share an audacious, urgent call to act initiated by refusefascism.org and to open to all. A bold plan that measures up to what we face. A bold plan that everyone needs to come together to realize. The time has come for the fall of the Trump fascist regime. Beginning beginning 11/05/2025, Washington DC. Fascism is not a looming threat. It is upon us now. Humanity's only hope is for the decent people of this country to rise in our millions. We cannot wait for future unrigged elections. We must drive out the Trump fascist regime from power. Beginning November, the one year anniversary of Trump's election, flood DC and determines a nonviolent protest. Surround the White House. Surround the Capitol. Surround the illegitimate fascist backed supreme court. Come back again and again and again. Across the country, refuse to comply. Every person of conscience, millions of us together, grind the machinery of this fascist regime to a halt. Don't stop until Trump is removed. The Trump fascist regime is illegitimate. Say it with me. Illegitimate. Illegitimate. What it is demanding we become unconscionable? At every level of society, in every institution, tens of millions of us know this in our very bones. If we dare, we can defeat a horror that threatens humanity's very survival. Despicable. It Despicable. It is. And if we fail to even try, future generations, if they exist, will never forgive us.

Speaker 0: A bearded man who claims he's 55 years old comes to collect her. He's bought Powwana for 200,000 Afghanis, just over 2,000 US dollars. Covered up, Powana whimpers as her mother haunts her. This is your bride. Please take care of her, says Powana's father. Of course, I will take care of her, replies the man. His large hands grab her small frame. Tawana tries to pull away. As he carries her only bag of belongings, she again resists. Digging her heels into the dirt, but it's futile. The fate of this small, helpless child has been sealed. Nine year old Litan and four year old Zeton for a thousand US dollars each. Do you know why they're selling you? The journalist asked Zeton. Because we are a poor family and don't have any food to eat, she says. Are you scared, he asked? Yes. I am. Another family in Gore province borrowed money from their 70 year old neighbor. Now he's demanding it back, but they have nothing to give except their 10 year old daughter, Magul. My daughter doesn't want to go and is crying all the time. I am so ashamed, he says. Terrified, she threatens to take her life. If they push me to marry the old man, I will kill myself. I don't want to leave my parents. Days later, she discovers the sale has been finalized. Another Afghan child sold into a life of misery.
