John Zmirak on the Grim Reality of Drug Cartels in Latin America
"Drug cartels of Latin America are they make the mafia in movies like The Godfather look like the little sisters of the poor. Yeah. These cartels will massacre birthday parties and kill all the children in order to get the guy who's the waiter. They will wipe out whole villages. Large parts of Mexico are controlled by these cartels to the point where the government really is not sovereign. It's tragic in 2000. I went down to Mexico for the one time in my life and I went to the city of monterrey. At the time, it was wealthy and coming. It was like Dallas with refried beans and salsa. But I mean, it had beautiful old 17th century churches. And even the slums had a certain dignity to them where people hung out decorations and had religious pictures. And I thought, this is beautiful. If only all of Mexico were like this. I've since talked to people Uber drivers and people immigrants who lived in Monterey scents and it was taken over by the cartels and it is now a hellhole just like Juarez and Mexico City. And it is heartbreaking. There are millions of people good, honest, well meaning family people who would like to live in an orderly society and there's no hope of that in Mexico. A lot of them are coming to America looking for it and the Democrats are using those same people to smash it up.

Victor Davis Hanson on the Significance of Trump's Arraignment
"Victor Davis Hanson, welcome back to America first. Thank you. I'm just going to allow you free reign. I want to discuss this amazing article about the new American Revolution or the jacobin revolution later on with our discussion. But the events of Tuesday and after this is just part of a fact pattern we've seen from impeachment one impeachment to crossfire hurricane, the radon Mar-a-Lago, the Mueller probe. This is just another instance. However, it is historic insignificance given the fact that it's never happened again. Just how significant is it historically professor? Well, we've never had it, and it comes in a long line as you detail and unfortunately, it's not the end. It's not an end of itself. It's the beginning because there's going to be further efforts to do what mister Bragg is doing in Georgia and the special counsel. But historically, it kind of says to us Americans that we don't have we've lost the moral right to lecture Asia or Africa or Latin America about their inefficiencies and insecurities and anti democratic failings. And so I don't know, I don't think a present today can give a lecture to an even Nicaragua or Venezuela or Uganda and say, you know what? Democracy is the only path for your future given what we're doing. We're destroying it before our eyes. The other thing is that there's a lot of dimensions, one is this lawfare, the weaponization of politics, and by that I mean they're interfering in the electoral process of the opposition party. And I think everybody understands that mister Bragg is not acting alone, but he's acting with consultation with his advisers, many of whom are pretty hard loud.

Paxful's Bitcoin Peer-To-Peer Exchange Suspends Operations
"We're going to go to our first story for the day. Talking about paxil, which is this breaking news just found out in the last hour that packs full of society to shut down, temporarily. According to reuss of the cofounder and CEO of pax hole, they're going to temporarily suspend the marketplace. You are able to still claim your funds from the marketplace, but they've decided to winding down due to a lack of key staff members and regulatory uncertainty. This follows, of course, other changes closing your prior year in the wake of FTX and the continued pressure on peer to peer Bitcoin exchanges notably local bitcoins also shut down within the last 12 months. Christie, I feel like this is a story that really we should get some comments from you on. It does seem like it's harder and harder to run an exchange and a peer to peer manner that a lot of people would like to buy their bitcoins out. Yeah, I'm really sad about this, honestly, because I think that paxil has been doing some very interesting stuff since this is kind of an OG sort of exchange that's been going on as peer to peer. It's Bitcoin and they've been instrumental in encouraging Bitcoin adoption in Latin America and Africa. Really going after the market of people who really need Bitcoin and access to Bitcoin. So one of the things that ray yussuf, the CEO, has said in his post, is that the issues have been linked to the marketplace, but also they've had some issues within the company and losing some key figures and it's just been hard for them to keep going. That's the deal with them. They are going to be allowing withdrawals. They are trying to go about it responsibly from as far as I can tell. Last week they announced that they were going to be refunding customers of their packs full earn program who lost funds in Celsius because the funds that were tied up up there is in Celsius were considered by the courts to be part of the bankruptcy materials. So they couldn't access their funds. So the tax will decided they would just reform the customers themselves. So yeah, I think it's kind of a sad day for Bitcoin peer to peer marketplaces.

John Zmirak: This Is Straight Out of Eastern Europe in the 1970s
"Promised, we have John's mirac John, please respond to where we are in this world with everything, please. Thank you. Well, I'm glad that the Democrats excuse me. Sorry, I'm sick of the dog. I think I have COVID again. I'm glad the Democrats are ludicrously overplaying their hand. The fact that they're not just throwing it every piece of monkey poop at the wall to see if it will stick on Donald Trump. There are actually going to put a gag order on him. This is something straight out of Eastern Europe in the 1970s or Latin America in the 1980s. I think I hope this gag order happens and I hope Trump needs to just violate it recklessly with the band and I think he needs to do an alliance with Ron DeSantis and spend most of his time in Florida as if he were a legitimate government of America in exile. And that let New York City and New York State try to shut down a presidential candidate. I don't think anything could more powerfully highlight the way it leads or dominating America the way a small number of cities are trying to rule an entire continent than some petty tyrant DA and judge in New York trying to censor and silence a presidential candidate on behalf of the whole country.

The China Factor in Latin America
"Hats hit the daily signal. This is something that you should be worried about. This is something that you should be talking about or we should be talking about from our biggest adversaries. Why this guy plays for photo ops, China is playing for keeps. Again, had to daily signal. Taiwan relationship matters to America and holding back China. Nowadays our countries are much more than Friends. They are partners in strategic allies at your values and the same vision to create a peaceful democratic and sustainable world. These are the succinct words of president Mario Abdul Benitez of the republic of Paraguay, who is currently leading a delegation to Taiwan on a 5 day state visit. Washington should welcome the constructive and forward looking interaction between America's two critical partners, one in the indo Pacific, a Pacific, and the other in South America. That's because our Latin American neighbors have been a major diplomatic battleground for China and Taiwan, huh? Excuse me? Say what? China has chased after Taiwan's diplomatic allies to switch their recognition of Taiwan as a separate nation independent of China, Beijing has gained 8 conversions in recent years, including Nicaragua, which cut its ties with Taiwan in December 2021.

Are We Under Attack?
"That it's not one it's not two, but three unidentified objects. That we have been shooting out of the air in recent days. It's getting a little bit wild. U.S. Military having to shoot down the third airborne object. This one now, in the Canadian territory, they had the permission of course of the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, we shut it down, and it follows the other two that we've had to shoot down and you start to say after a while, what's really, really going on here. There is a fourth, by the way, that nobody's talking about. Which I'm amazed by that the Chinese have admitted to it a fourth balloon, it's been hanging out in Latin America. Now the technically they've only admitted to two of these balloons, but they are trying to say that they're both weather balloons. Yeah, right. Well, anyway, the weather ballooned down in Latin America. That one is still there. And because they have some countries like Venezuela in their back pocket because these countries are so indebted to the likes of the Chinese or in some cases Russia. You've got Nicolas Maduro saying, oh yeah, you know, I believe them. I mean, he sounds a lot like James clapper, James clapper, the former head of U.S. intelligence, under president Obama recently saying he's inclined to believe the Chinese. Amazing what people will do and what people will say when they are so desperate to try and appease,

Is Biden Going to Put Us Into Some Kind of World War 3?
"And truly is Biden going to wind up putting us into some kind of World War three. Because a lousy diplomacy? I think he needs a new Secretary of State. I'm just saying, I mean, look at what happened in Afghanistan, total mess there. I would argue that they should have done more on the diplomatic front, so as to hopefully have prevented Russia. From launching a war with Ukraine, but Antony Blinken is not really in my estimation cut out to be Secretary of State. I mean, look at his total mishandling of Latin America. There you go. That tells you everything you need to know about the guy because these are countries in our own hemisphere that frankly, we ought to have better relationships with, and yet they're hanging out with the likes of the Chinese, the Russians and the Iranians because the U.S. won't give them the time of day. What's going on? It is poor leadership. John McCain, I know a lot of people have their, you know, he's a polarizing figure for a lot of people, but John McCain, God rest his soul warned of this. He warned of blinken, he would not vote for blinken. When Obama wanted him, as an undersecretary, because he thought the guy was not capable, and thus, lives might potentially be lost. And this is the guy that's now our Secretary of State. So is Joe Biden gets up there and tries to tell us everything's a okay with China. We are strong and we're going to fight this. Just remember, one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the total lack of diplomacy coming from Biden and his entire team.

To Say 'Slaves Built the Country' Is an Outright Lie
"A, I think, an unanswerable objection or proof that that is a lie, slaves built the country. First of all, slavery was only in the south. And the south was the poorest part of the country. So if slaves built the country, how do you explain the fact that the poorest part of the country was the part with slavery? Here's another answer to that lie. Now, if there's no denying that slaves built the sugar and cotton economies which are important, but to say built the country is just a lie. If slaves built the country, why isn't Brazil rich? Brazil had what was a ten times as many slaves I don't remember the figure. Way more slaves than the United States. Why isn't why isn't Brazil wealthy? Why is Haiti one of the poorest countries in Latin America, which is saying something? A slave state essentially. It's one of the few black countries of Latin America. Maybe the only black country in Latin America. Zero number one that you can think of. I can't. There are blacks and other countries, but Haiti is essentially all black. Dominican Republic which shares the island with it is European racially speaking. You have to understand that most college graduates today do believe slaves built the country.

No One Is Building a Wall to Stop Americans From Flooding Into Mexico
"Trying to build a wall to stop Americans from flooding into Mexico. And the Mexicans are leaving for good reason. They're leaving, they want something better. Now, if too many of them arrive at once, it won't be anything better. So we have to control immigration. But these are not mostly not terrible people. They're mostly not fentanyl dealers and human traffickers. They're leaving because of the kind of society that was set up in Mexico. That was set up in most of Latin America, but let's be fair, most human societies in the history of the world have been like this, like pyramids. They call the one way to describe them as a hacienda society. The hacienda is the beautiful mission house on top of the hill where the conquistador lives. And his servants and his guards, and he has a fence, and everybody else lives down in a favela, a stinking slum, with no public services, no political power. And if they want anything, they have to make nice with the guys up in the hacienda. And the best hope for anyone in this society is to become one of the guards or one of the enforcers for the hacienda. Our elites in America have decided that the American exception of setting up a society that's a little more like a square or maybe like a hill where there's a top, but there are very gradual slopes and it's not this radical collection of power at the top. R elites have decided to take the slope and build it into a pyramid, where

US temporarily restricts airspace over Carolina coastline in preparation for operation to down Chinese balloon
"Officials say the Biden administration is considering plans to shoot down the giant Chinese surveillance balloon flying over the U.S. and had closed off some airspace in the Carolinas to prepare. Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity say President Biden has authorized the shootdown of this Chinese balloon, which was spotted flying over North Carolina in the morning, asked by reporters Biden said, we're going to take care of it. Pentagon officials early on had advised against it. Fearing the risk of people getting hurt on the ground. But now with the balloon heading over the Atlantic coastline, it could be shot down over the ocean. China continues to claim it's a weather research airship that blew off course and is criticizing the U.S. for its reaction, which includes the cancellation of a meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Beijing. The Pentagon, meanwhile, has determined another Chinese surveillance balloon is flying over Latin America. I'm Jackie Quinn

China balloon: Many questions about suspected spy in the sky
"Many people are asking many questions about the massive white balloon from China drifting across U.S. airspace and wondering why the military hasn't shot it down. China says it was a weather research balloon, The Pentagon says. It's a surveillance balloon. The balloon, the size of three school buses is maneuverable, says Brigadier general pat Ryder, and it has sensors and surveillance equipment. The military took preventive action to keep the device from collecting intelligence as it flew over nuclear silos in Montana. Former CIA analyst Gail helt is among those who think that China's testing the U.S.. She says there are reasons why it's not being shot down. That amount of ammunition sent towards it is only going to cause a very, very slow leak. And that could be an unsafe move. Then it would be drifting aimlessly, potentially not being able to be controlled and God only knows where it's going to come down. The Pentagon says there is another Chinese surveillance balloon flying over Latin America. I'm Jackie Quinn

Worldwide Grassroots Projects Can Lead Crypto Recovery
"We're going to start with a piece by Michael Casey, coin desk's chief content officer called worldwide grassroots projects can lead crypto recovery. The subheader reads crypto is not hurting lower income in marginalized communities, but instead providing them with new tools through innovative governance models and tokenomics to regain control from historically oppressive financial systems. During the House financial services committee's FTX hearings last month, representative Jesus Garcia, Democrat from Illinois, described crypto as an entire industry that thinks it's above the law. And then said something that irked me even more than that unhelpful opening generalization. Crypto companies quote are making money using one thing hype, Garcia said, and when hype runs out and ordinary investors especially late comers who are disproportionately low income black and Latino lose. Now it's true that many people of color bought crypto in recent years, and that by extension many have lost money on account of Celsius network, FTX, Voyager digital at all. But there's a subtext to Garcia's comment, whether or not he consciously intended it. That patronizingly paints certain communities in the U.S. and elsewhere as ill informed and vulnerable, denying them agency and blindly missing a bigger story of empowerment. Take a look at hundreds of grassroots crypto projects led by blacks and Latinos in the U.S., and at the many crypto based business models arising in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and you will find large swaths of human beings from income challenged. Marginalized or oppressed community seeking new ways to take charge of their lives. There's a reason why the top four positions in chain analysis activity and purchasing power weighted country ranking of per CAPiTA crypto adoption are occupied by Vietnam, the Philippines, Ukraine and India, and why the 6th through tenth position belonged to Pakistan, Brazil, Thailand, Russia and China. And according to a forthcoming report on black experiences in web three, from the crypto research and design lab cradle, there's also a reason why the 5th position is occupied by the U.S.. The only developed western country on the list. It's because of an outsized level of adoption among black Americans.

Mike Benz Describes His Work Running Cyber for the State Dept.
"Example staying in the open-source unclassified domain at your position running cyber for the State Department. What kinds of issues on an average day would you have to be grappling with Mike? Sure. So a recent example that I talked about was, you know, I would get a call from Google lobbyists about what Europe was doing with respect to the GDPR laws around data around data. Explain what that is. GDPR laws. Yes. So okay. So there's essentially data privacy laws that were passed in Europe because Europe takes a much more aggressive regulatory approach to protecting the privacy of EU citizens against both election by tech companies and the use of personal data for everything from advertising to any number of other purposes. The issue is that that monopoly over data is basically the oil, so to speak, of Google and Facebook and other large U.S. tech companies. When Europe says we're going to restrict access to European citizens data, that means Google now has an existential threat to its bottom line because it will not have a competitive advantage over other companies operating in Europe if Google is not allowed to have the same level of its data monopoly. So Google would call people like me at my desk to say, hey, you're going into negotiations with Europe next week. We want you to do this this and this. And my role essentially is being the cyber das there is people at the State Department see things strategically as being a sort of, I don't want to say favors for favors, but it is essentially a U.S. champions. When we do well for U.S. champions, internationally and represent them effectively to say Europe or China or Latin America, then in turn, jobs and economic and political dividends accrued to the American people because what is advantages the U.S. companies get should flow to basically trickle down in a sense to U.S. citizens.

"Property crisis. So Rebecca for this episode we're looking at how all this is playing out in one region where China has invested heavily, Latin America. And it used to be that the U.S. was the major investor in the region. But China has moved in in a big way. Well, in Latin America, for example, China in some ways has gone there to create markets, but it's also used all of these commodities to help fuel its industrial boom. So lots of commodities and of course it has invested in things like copper and things like lithium and so countries like Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, rely on being able to export to China. That pays off in raw materials, China needs, but there's politics at work here too, right? Absolutely. I mean, China has rapidly increased its influence in Latin America over the past 20 years. There is that asymmetric tension here. For many of the Latin American countries, China is this key strategic partner. China, on the other hand, while it does to some extent, rely on exports from those countries, as we say, there's these crucial commodities, has really sought to use the diplomatic ties that that allows. So if we think about Taiwan, for example, which we know is a really important flash point for China. The number of countries in Latin America that officially recognize Taiwan over the years has dramatically dwindled. And that's been linked to other financial incentives. So we can see how China is quite explicitly using these ties to advance its own diplomatic goals. Rebecca Germans

"Right, Paul, the result razor thin, joining us live as Bloomberg managing editor for economy and government, Latin America, Juan Pablo spinetto in our São Paulo bureau thanks again one. Some perspective. This is quite a comeback. Lulu was in jail three years ago and corruption charges. Yeah, exactly. I mean, less than three years ago, he was still in jail. So if we talk about perspective, this is probably one of the greatest political comebacks. So in my life, right? So if we recap a little bit, Lula was president for 8 years at the beginning of the century. He was one of the most popular politicians on earth at some point when Barack Obama was president. He called him the guy, right? The most important and most popular president. But then a serious of corruption scandals. And administration of his pointed success ended up in impeachment of that precedent and a big loss of credibility by Lula in the eyes of millions of Brazilians, right? We were talking earlier about how tight this election was. And a big part of the rejection of Lula has to do with that scandal still for a lot of Brazilian. He is corrupt politician. So he was left out of that conviction on procedural on a Pacific decision and then that allows him to run this year. So clearly from prison three years ago to president is quite a comeback. And the country now whiplash of political philosophy from his liberal platforms to the last four years of Bolsonaro with very conservative. He has a whole agenda of more liberal agenda again, is he realistically with a makeup of the Congress there, going to be able to get that done? We need to start by saying that Lula himself is a very practical politician. That's why he showed in his 8 years in power and also in this race. I mean, the first thing he did even before announcing officially that he will be candidate was calling his also. He is all NM Gerald as min who he beat in elections to be his running mate. And this guy is a center right politician. That's showing him as a running mate. So he created this big collision. His party is on party the Pepe, the Workers Party is much more radical than himself and clearly there is not a lot of space, as you say, to go with that radical agenda. Bolsonaro has very strong support at the same 8 and at the lower house. And Alice of the president governed the three largest districts of the country. São Paulo readers and miniaturized. So that will make a smaller he will have to have a lot of flexibility and political capacity to negotiate with the opposition. Yeah, okay, Juan, thank you so much for your perspective, really appreciate it. It is. It is an amazing day in Brazil and the globe.

"And you know this history, it goes all the way back to the arrival of Chinese immigrants bringing with them a habit of smoking opium on the West Coast in the late 19th century. It goes to Mexican immigrants after the Mexican revolution arriving to work in mines and fields and bringing with them cannabis. So the kind of racialization of an outside drug threat is a long story that the United States has told, there's a kind of imagined pure white body politic and these foreign racialized drugs that are coming in to really pollute that body. And so it's been very easy for more than a century for the United States for our representatives to tell this story about the way that drugs are kind of coming from elsewhere. And what that means is that particularly in the late 20th and early 21st century, you begin to get, as you said, this bipartisan consensus. And I can see this in the Biden administration. I had conversations with doctor Gupta with his chief of staff. I've been talking to the people at the office of national drug control policy. And what they said to me is basically the Republicans will never let us change this, right? They will come after us as kind of soft on crime on narco terrorists. And so there's a way in which we see this in many realms, right? The Democrats hampered themselves from the beginning by saying, this is politically impossible, right? It is politically impossible and what the chief of staff of the ONDCP said to me was, look, source control has these kinds of measurable outcomes. We can say we burned this many hectares. We seized this many kilos. We imprisoned this many kingpins. If we take a different kind of non militarized approach, what are the measurables here? How do we know that we're succeeding? And I think we should know that we're succeeding when we don't have literally 8 million people internally displaced in Colombia.

She had an excellent op-ed in The New York Times, titled the U.S. has led the war on drugs abroad for decades. And it's been a staggering failure. And we thought this would be an excellent time to discuss the war on drugs a little bit. So Christy, thank you again for joining us. Thanks for having me. So what led you to write this op-ed and what do you want readers to get out of it? Yeah, so there's a couple of things that are going on right now in U.S. drug policy that are really interesting. And one of the problems that I see is that the way we think about how the U.S. has waged the war on drugs over the last 50 years, really since the Nixon administration is sort of bifurcated between drug policy here in the United States, which has to do with questions about over policing and mass incarceration and racial disparity and the kinds of results that it has in neighborhoods here in the United States. Now being addressed by people working in public health and those kinds of questions. And then a totally separate conversation about U.S. foreign policy and the way that the war on drugs oversees this prosecuted and the results there for human rights and environmental devastation and the rise in violence. And so as I teach a class here at Johns Hopkins called the political economy of drugs and drug wars and we talk about these things a lot.

"Advocates throughout latin america. It's interesting to see. In latin america the liberalisation of abortion rights slowly but surely meanwhile here in the united states. It seems to be going the opposite direction. There's different starting points there right. I mean you had nineteen. Seventy-three is a lot of people's lifetime to this point where abortion was made widely available in the united states. and it's a relatively more recent phenomena in latin america. And i guess now there's kind of a congruous with it's kind of a crossing point where there are efforts obviously to stymie access to legal abortions in the united states just as there are efforts to make it more available in latin america. Now we'll say some. Latin american countries have actually made it more difficult honduras. Which cape mentioned is one of the strictest antiabortion laws and they recently passed a concert amendment making it harder to ever change the law to make it easier for women to have access to abortion so there is there is a counter movement. And it's very strong. Kate any thoughts. It's interesting i think we're in a phase of kind of the world where with the internet. We are able to have these global conversations. Things that previously were. Maybe silo d- To domestic politics in a particular country people are realizing these common threads right in different countries. And you're seeing that a lot right now. Particularly with kind of social and cultural issues secure in brazil people are talking about black lives matter. The conversations are changing around religion around. You know sex gender sexuality. And so i think more more there's one conversation.

I could seriously watch this all day. Learning about black holes dark matter and exploding stars. I mean fascinating. I love how deep this program goes. I know you'll love wondering i'm so. I put together a special offer for my listeners. A free month trial of unlimited access. Just go to my special yaro wendy dot com slash the times. That's w. o. N. d. r. i. u. m. dot com slash. The times. think of how much you'll learn in a month. Go to wendy dot com slash the times so cape before the crystallization of abortion in mexico. Night and tina. There is just to other countries in the region where abortion was legal guba since the nineteen sixties and uruguay became the first latin american democracy to allow the practice back in two thousand twelve. So there's still this really steep road up to try to get. Abortion legalized or even decriminalize and a lot of latin america. Yeah they're a huge swath of this region that you know still prohibit abortions entirely. A few notable examples are in central america in honduras and el salvador. You can go to jail for you. Know even accidentally having an abortion their cases of women in el salvador who've been in jail for years who say you know they've tripped fell accidentally terminated their pregnancies and were prosecuted for that major countries like brazil where you have a right wing president. Who's committed basically to not allowing abortion legalization to move forward. It's a very different picture. So you have these major victories but at the same time you have some movement in the other direction in certain areas so patrick even in mexico. You still have now doctors who are saying. We're not gonna do any abortions. Is this a very interesting movement. We saw odaguard will also sort of mexico city when abortion was legalized here. I mean basically some of these doctors and nurses referred to themselves as conscientious objectors. They said they feel morally opposed to abortion and will not perform them and there's a federal law in mexico that's also before the supreme court right now which basically ensures them that right and non-life-threatening circumstances so there's a lot of people waiting what's going to happen before the supreme court on this particular law of doctors and practitioners who referred to themselves as conscientious objectors. Who will not perform the procedure from what they say is moral grounds. This is also cropped up in argentina and would have to some extent so it is an issue however legal this is will be sufficient providers so for mexico city which is had widely available abortions more than a decade has managed to cope with it but nationwide and mexico. It'll be interesting to see kate. You're in brazil right now which is home to the world's largest catholic population also huge evangelical community and the current president jacob also narrow. He slammed argentina's decision and vowed abortions never going to be legalized long as he's in office. What's up abortion rights movement like in brazil. Yeah well it's small. It's highly polarized. Here i mean there are a lot of parallels really between the united states and brazil. At this point you know you have a very conservative populace. President who took power you know on social media and who was spouses really conservative social beliefs and has a movement behind him of people who really care about that the evangelical population in brazil which is now a quarter of the population and is super politically. Involved has made you know this issue sort of their most important one and actually. I talked to someone the other day who said you know. The evangelical movement continues to support also not because of his opposition to abortion. And they see him as an instrument of god to stop this stuff. So you have this really hear more than activists calling for abortion legalization. You have kind of the opposite. You have people from the right growing increasingly vocal about their opposition to this. You know we had a case. Last year in brazil that was really emblematic. A ten year old girl had been raped by her uncle and had gotten pregnant and went to the hospital to receive an abortion which is legal in just in cases of rape here. Just you know up to a certain number of weeks pregnant and the doctors there refused. And then this became dislike a touchtone where you had a conservative protesters massing outside of the hospital yelling at this girl. She ultimately had to go to another city to get her pregnancy terminated. And i think it just shows that at this point there's actually a lot of pressure in the other direction to make the laws in brazil even more restrictive when it comes to abortions what about activists and other countries are they trying to offer any sort of support to say activists in places like brazil or an el salvador where abortion is still criminalised completely. Yeah i mean. I think there's definitely a big kind of cross national network. I know for example. American abortion activists have for a long time works on kind of the legal cases of women in el salvador. Who have found themselves in jail for five ten years for the crime of having an abortion. But i think it's actually probably an interesting question. Whether or not american activists are kind of learning from their latin american counterparts because the fact is a lot of things are changing here this region and really quickly i think the style of activism those types of messaging even just know where people are protesting and how i think probably american feminists have a lot to learn from that and should start looking in that direction to patrick abortions longer. A crime in mexico deny and restrictions are slowly getting chip that elsewhere as you mentioned earlier. That doesn't mean it's easily accessible. So how are abortion opponents. Making it difficult for women who seek them. That's an interesting question. I think throughout latin america k. Talked a little bit about abortion rights activists who are you know. Have a really an international network. There's also an international network on the other side of abortion restriction inist abortion opponents who are very well represented here in mexico. Sometimes they have their own clinic set up to advise quote unquote advise women about abortions. Whether they're making the right decision. The very active on social media. So there's that countervailing movement among people who are opposed to increase access to abortion one more thing on the activism from the side of the abortion rights movement. I talked to a number of them last week. One of the tactics are trying to take since they should. That's so weighed down. By so many moral imponderables. A lot of them are trying to as much as possible. Frame it as a health issue because we know that in fact abortions are widely performed in latin america by some estimates a so once that he's saying as many as one in three pregnancies end abortions hundreds of women every year throughout latin america. Either die or maim to these illegal procedures so to some extent the activists are trying to frame this as a health issue in other words. Basically saying these women are going to get abortions anyway. The idea is to ensure that they get them safely and that they survived a procedure. Such a strategy if you will. That's to some extent been used by abortion rights.

"Have lived in Latin America for years, but they are now seeking asylum in the US as opportunities in places like Brazil and elsewhere, dry up. From Washington. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, chair of the Budget committee, expects Democrats will come together as he says, to pass the $3.5 trillion social spending package under consideration in Congress. Right now, what we are doing is we are engaging with the house and the Senate. It is a complicated proposal. All I am telling you Is the 3.5 trillion is much too low. A compromise has already been made, he told CBS's face the Nation of his expectation, even as two key Senate Democrats Remains steadfast in their opposition to the plans cost. Meanwhile, House Democrats have wrapped up the bulk of committee work on that package. Now, the harder work begins with 13 separate committees approving portions of the package. The process featured plenty of infighting, differences that have created headaches for democratic leaders and will need resolving before the legislation hits the floor. A scene center now from Mike Lillis. Senior reporter at the hill. Mike, Where are we here? Well, you know, First of all, this is take a step back, and this is a really big deal. This is a legacy defining agenda for President Biden. It's Biden's obamacare. Uh, and House Democrats just pushed it through 13 committees more than 2500 pages of text. It's $3.5 Trillion in new spending. It's $2.9 trillion in new revenues. I mean, this is a enormous thing, and Pelosi wants it. Schumer wants it. Nobody wants it more than President Biden. So a lot is on the line here. And to get it through all of these committees was something of a big lift. But of course, the Democratic caucuses highly diverse they have, you know. They have blue dog Democrats that represent very purple districts, and they're vulnerable. And then they have liberals like AOC in in the Queens who represent a very different constituency, so disagreements were inevitable and we saw some of them emerge in this last couple weeks as they were passing all of these bills, So that's what we're talking about he or how do they iron out Some of the differences that remain Even after these bills passed through the committees, they still have to go to the floor. They start to go through the Senate. And so there's some. There's some some differences that are going to have to be ironed out. All right, so prescription drugs start with that. Yes, This is a big one. Yeah, you remember back in 2000 and six When? Uh, Speaker Pelosi first Nancy Pelosi first became speaker. They ran successfully on a platform called 646. And of those six items that were just policy promises that they made on the campaign trail. They accomplished. Five of them. Number six was prescription drug pricing under Medicare. That was the only one they didn't do. So it is not hyperbole to say that she has literally been working on this for 15 years. It is one of her highest priorities. What it does is it just empowers Medicare to use its book buying. Um, authority to negotiate lower drug prices with,.

Resetting miners people in their houses. I it's really in their bedrooms and from their beal something. Bigger than we started building larger farms studying started understanding how of being industries Sequel awesome makes nick. Scheele your bags to us when we are up to also my bags terms of the company started in two thousand seventeen Obviously it was bull run when everybody was trying to get into minding I think in my opinion was worst possible. Time to get into mining The company did not do too well for the first two three years Given that like. I came on on the bull run when bitcoin was at twenty thousand bitcoin crash. At thirty five hundred. And we trudged through it Kept growing wild la. Bitcoin was in. Its bearish market We expanded operations bought miners and right now enjoying the fruits of our labor and pushing forwards We started mining A little bit of everything Whatever we could get our hands on in terms of basics at the time I wasn't in the company at the beginning There was another Technical lead who purchased basically s. nine l. threes gps and a little bit of everything Mix and match When i came onto the company basically mouse of how much Each each coin each blockchain represented in terms of work. Manual labor maintained the miners How much each miners were consuming versus. How much the reducing and eventually We decided to just focus on bitcoin. Even that diversifying meant that we have to have different parts that we have to have different minors that we have to have different sectors of the data center that we have had different wires depending on the consumption so basically just standard is our entire operation to mind. Bitcoin so now we're focusing specifically on mining bitcoin. We offer some watching solutions to cover. Basically the employability factor of having a large mining operation and have more employees on the company So we're developing blockchain solutions for local companies in argentina and for some american companies as well So basically a little bit of mining and a little bit of developing on blockchain. It's awesome i. It's it's always interesting to me. Like the common trajectory of mining companies. Where like so many people start out mining ether and other all converged like both you pretty much said on either bitcoin ether or just bitcoin awesome With the first question. I i kind of want to give our viewers and listeners For those who are listening on the podcast later like a lay of the land. So we see a lot of headlines about mining in different parts of latin america From salvador volcanoes in geothermal energy so much hydro power all over the all handed back to unique and then To you also can you guys give us like Just a high level overview of where the hubs of mining are Across latin america. Right now where you see the most activity in terms of actual hash power and businesses as being incorporated across across the map of latin america. Where where's the most activity right now. Absolutely awesome in terms of deciding what i think. It's a very. It's very early stage in terms of mining Given that they have geothermal power that's being built out Right now in terms of mining. I don't know of any large operations that are happening right now in terms of larger mining operations That we've seen in person or seeing them videos of we seen venezuela we've seen power which has a huge amount of hydroelectric power It obviously has it. Saw lobbying and political issues like any other. Latin american company argentina's also growing pretty steadily in terms of in terms of expansion and power capacity for minors Basically one bit started. We were the second mining company to start in argentina right now according to basically tax documents and what we know there's around forty large operations in argentina awesome.

"From your article. The question of what is possible via the ballot. Box still seems to be alive. One can can you say something about that particularly in this year of of elections. Yes it is. It is very sore question. It is in latin america. I think anyone who has followed jan daring cobian indian gay or is thinking of. How could things change in my country. you know. we'll be faced with that very frightening prospect you know. How far can we go before. We hit the reaction of the media. Kobina's and that a lot of that data from you know the private sector from other countries. Perhaps one country illustrates this more than others. Which is brazil. Lula who was president in brazil it was elected in two thousand and two and remained president until two thousand and ten new. A no common figure that was a worker manual worker. He has worked as a trade unionist for years. He contributed to creating the workers party in brazil. In overthrowing dictatorship he's a man who was Honesty in in wanting to change. No one can. We doubt when he came to power Detected a couple of times and you knew what present was like. He knew that if you wanted to transform brazil into a more democratic democracy country you had to make a couple of changes change the constitution basically is a very specific country. There was no struggle for independence. You know. the the former colonial power decided that brazil was going to be a kingdom. The constitution reflected a very different set of any powers in the country so the constitution needed to be changed. The media needs to be changed their all in the hands of private private owners and they are political after. I haven't got you know nothing. That's changed in this country and you need to change the economic model because brazil is locked in a position whereby it provides wrote material to other countries but is unable to create an industry where value can produce. Its own foods and Provide work and for for its own population so this needs to change and you knew older this. He had written talked about it but when he came to power he decided that the conditions are not there. Were not there for him to do that. And maybe he was right.

"That made it possible politically geopolitically and in terms of the economy as well so This is what happened in during this so-called pink wave so the wave rose by the wave also broke and we start from a very different vantage point from from rookie. A in two thousand ten and in your article in lamont diplomatic use the the image vickery's who flies to near the sun. The higher he goes the more vulnerable he becomes which kind of suggests that there's something intrinsically risky or vulnerable about the particular conditions for democracy in latin america. Can you explain a little bill. Why you chose that image to try to convey that situation. Yeah the idea is that there is a limit a structural social limit as to have far democracy or what we accepted to call. Democracy today will allow people to go especially people from the left it carries would have been fine if he had not attended to go as far reaching the sun but by going too far it's wings made of walks start to melt and by going too far precipitates his own and fold. There is logic at the very core of democracy. it's a progressive continuous increase in people's right people freedom people's capacity to decide for themselves and against this principle. This driving force you might say. Debbie's another that is as strongly inscribed in our society is as the previous one which the logic of capitalist profit making and there is a point where the two logics collide and the wings of the democrats.

Yes the The democracy project of the nineteen th century never really came to fruition anywhere. I mean that would be an argument. You could make for funds for instance but there is something something specific with latin america which is the fact that the people who initiated the revolutions. The the breakaway from the colonial powers did intend for the colonies the newborn countries to enjoy more freedom but did not want the comics in the social hierarchy to change. who were they. They were descendants. From the colony from spain from portugal. And benefited. from the way latin america had taken its place within the International the world economy system which was a system whereby ritchie's came from trade. There was no industry. No local industry. There was no room for the development of a internal market. So that means that independence used the vocabulary of social emancipation of of of freedom of citizens right but only to break away from the center of power from the colonial center of power but not to actually democratize the society which means that there was a highest and which still remains in the way the societies were built and the prospects that they they kind of drew in order to to convince people to mobilize and the the very real intention for society not to change.
