About this episode

The episode discusses how California's progressive policies have led to economic decline, drawing parallels to Venezuela.

California is America’s Venezuela — a once-thriving golden state deliberately reduced to near-ashes by sixteen years of progressive one-party rule that is successfully eradicating the middle class exactly as designed, creating a two-tier society of protected ultra-rich elites and a dependent underclass while repeating the same catastrophic experiment that destroyed Venezuela, the Soviet Union, and much of Latin America.
