San Francisco's priorities on full display: a 45-foot naked woman statue in the heart of downtown while human waste maps become debate topics and homeless encampments flourish. This $690 million city can't clean up its streets or bring businesses back to its hollowed-out Financial District, but they can install an 'anatomically detailed' Burning Man sculpture that nobody asked for. Watch as we break down how officials celebrate this 'artistic achievement' just blocks from open-air drug markets and rampant homelessness. Is a giant handless, nude statue really what taxpayers need while two people overdose daily on city streets? As usual, San Francisco's leadership proves they're more interested in progressive performance art than addressing the real problems destroying a once-beautiful city. Like, subscribe, and share if you're tired of watching government officials flush your tax dollars down the drain while ignoring the priorities that actually matter.

Bruce and Gaydos discuss the latest on Arizona's homelessness crisis.

Send us a textA new report has painstakingly tallied the number of Ontarians who experienced homelessness last year — and the figure is staggering: 81,515. If things stay the same, that number is expected to double over the next decade (and potentially reach 300,000 in an economic downturn). What can be done to turn things around? The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), which commissioned the report, says the fix will cost $13 billion in government funding: $11 billion over 10 years to boost the supply of affordable housing, improve transitional and supportive services, and enhance prevention programs; and $2 billion over eight years to eliminate encampments. Joining us to break down all the numbers is Lindsay Jones, director of policy and government relations at AMO. Also on the show: It's peak season for political junkies!

Seattle's infamous homeless man, Steve Irwin, has been arrested yet again for building his fifth unauthorized cabin in a city park, despite a 10-year ban from all Seattle parks. Irwin's repeated arrests, which follow incidents of property destruction, theft, and even stealing an excavator, have cost taxpayers over $155,000 in park repairs. Critics argue that Seattle's lenient policies are enabling his destructive behavior, while Irwin's plea for help underscores a deeper crisis. Outreach workers claim he has repeatedly refused services, highlighting the failure of Seattle's progressive approach to homelessness. Conservative voices, like Andrea Suarez, urge mandatory mental health treatment to break the cycle. This case symbolizes broader issues with Seattle's permissive stance on crime and homelessness, leaving taxpayers to bear the burden. The need for stricter enforcement and responsible policies is evident.

A recent federal report from HUD highlights Washington state as having the third highest homeless population in the U.S., with numbers continuing to rise. Since 2007, the state has seen a staggering 35% increase in homelessness, including a 56% spike in chronic cases within the last year. Critics argue that HUD's focus on housing affordability overlooks core issues like drug addiction and mental health crises, which drive much of the problem. Despite billions spent on housing initiatives, "housing first" policies have failed to address underlying causes, leading to worsening conditions. With Seattle nicknamed "Freeattle" for its lenient approach, experts cite generous benefits and minimal enforcement as attracting homeless populations nationwide. Advocates for conservative reform emphasize the need for treatment-focused solutions over endless spending on ineffective programs. The crisis underscores a larger debate on liberal governance in America's urban centers.

Federal funding of $50 million has been allocated to plan a 250 mph high-speed rail connecting Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC. Proponents tout job creation and environmental benefits, but critics argue the region's severe public safety issues must be addressed first. Seattle's open-air drug markets, rampant homelessness, and violence—exemplified by a recent Metro bus driver murder—highlight the need for reform before introducing such projects. Concerns center on enabling easier transit for the mentally ill and addicted without resolving systemic urban problems. While high-speed rail promises regional connectivity, skeptics emphasize prioritizing law and order, infrastructure safety, and fiscal conservatism to ensure meaningful progress for taxpayers.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with returning guest Terrance Yang for a wide-ranging discussion on critical financial and societal issues. They explore the state of U.S. federal debt, drawing comparisons to historical periods like World War II, and consider modern-day parallels with Argentina's economic struggles and the election of Javier Milei. The conversation shifts to broader reflections on government waste, regulatory overreach, and the potential for AI to streamline bureaucracy and disrupt traditional finance. Terrance shares sharp insights on Bitcoin as a long-term investment and critiques other cryptocurrencies as vehicles for insider speculation. The episode also touches on market-making, trading psychology, and the rise of autonomous vehicles, hinting at the transformative impact of AI-driven innovation. You can connect with Terrance through his LinkedIn profile.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:35 Discussing U.S. Debt and Financial Insights02:14 Historical Context and Comparisons04:38 Libertarian Governments and Economic Policies08:55 Government Spending and Regulation18:21 Homelessness and Urban Challenges23:06 Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Insights26:22 Investment Strategies and Market Dynamics33:28 AI and Future Investments34:06 AI Market Predictions and Amazon's Strategy36:37 The Struggles of Big Tech with AI Integration38:21 The Future of Self-Driving and Flying Cars42:22 Investment Advice: Bitcoin and AI53:52 Argentina's Economic Lessons01:04:23 The Role of AI in Government and Society01:08:12 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey Insights1. The U.S. Debt Crisis Has Parallels to World War II, But the Path Forward is UnclearTerrance Yang highlights how the current U.S. debt situation resembles the debt spike seen during World War II. Back then, the U.S. "grew its way out" of debt as GDP growth outpaced debt growth. However, today's environment is more complex, with federal net outlays growing at an unsustainable rate. While the debt-to-GDP ratio appears alarming, Yang suggests that focusing on cash flow (tax revenue minus expenditures) as a percentage of GDP offers a more nuanced view. The big question is whether the U.S. can grow its way out of debt again or if fundamental spending cuts are required.2. Bitcoin is a Long-Term Bet, But Most Other Cryptos Are Insider GamesYang views Bitcoin as the only viable long-term store of value among cryptocurrencies, while labeling most altcoins as speculative vehicles designed to "pump and dump" retail investors. He advises listeners to avoid trading Bitcoin due to the dominance of market makers like Goldman Sachs, who use superior data and trading models. Instead, he recommends dollar-cost averaging and focusing on the long-term potential of Bitcoin as "digital gold." Yang cautions against chasing short-term gains in crypto, comparing it to amateur players trying to compete with professional athletes.3. Regulatory Overreach is Stifling American Efficiency, But AI Could Change ThatThe conversation critiques the inefficiencies in U.S. government bureaucracy, using California's high-speed rail project as a cautionary tale of regulatory bloat and government waste. Terrance Yang believes AI has the potential to streamline government services, automate repetitive tasks, and reduce the need for an ever-expanding workforce. He suggests that as government employees retire, many of their roles could be replaced with AI systems, leading to leaner, more efficient public institutions. This vision echoes similar efficiency models seen in Singapore and other high-performing nations.4. The Rise of AI-Enhanced Legal and Coding ProductivityYang points out how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT Pro are already allowing people to reduce their reliance on lawyers and coders. People are saving thousands of dollars in legal fees by using AI to review contracts and analyze legal risks. In coding, AI tools are helping developers find errors, refactor code, and improve efficiency. Yang himself plans to use AI to help document Bitcoin's core code, a project aimed at making the codebase more accessible to non-technical users. This marks a major shift in the accessibility of technical knowledge.5. Trading is a Rigged Game, and Most People Should Stay OutYang compares day trading to amateur athletes trying to compete with NBA stars like LeBron James. Most retail investors are going up against highly sophisticated market makers like Citadel and Jane Street, who have access to superior information, tools, and algorithms. He explains that market makers profit by always being ready to buy and sell, unlike retail traders who get caught up in emotional decision-making. The best option for most people, Yang says, is to avoid trading entirely and instead invest in low-cost index funds, like the Vanguard S&P 500 fund.6. Argentina's Crisis Offers Lessons for the U.S. on Debt and Welfare StatesDrawing on Argentina's economic collapse, the conversation explores how unsustainable welfare policies and out-of-control debt can bring a nation to its knees. Stewart Alsop notes that while Argentina's citizens are acutely aware of their country's fiscal dysfunction, many Americans remain oblivious to similar risks in the U.S. Yang and Alsop highlight that Argentina's reliance on printing pesos mirrors what could happen if the U.S. dollar's dominance weakens. Javier Milei's rise as Argentina's libertarian president signals a possible shift away from this broken system, but the U.S. appears far from having its own "wake-up moment."7. AI-Driven Automation Will Reshape Cities, Transportation, and JobsWaymo's driverless cars, which are already being tested in Los Angeles, represent a fundamental shift in how cities will operate in the future. Yang explains how autonomous vehicles could make traffic "less painful" by allowing passengers to be productive while stuck in slow-moving traffic. This shift will likely spur greater suburbanization as people find it more tolerable to live farther from work. Coupled with AI-driven automation in government and the workforce, the nature of cities and daily life is poised for a profound transformation, with L.A. potentially becoming more livable than it has been in decades.

As temperatures drop in Utah, the struggle to provide adequate support for the homeless intensifies. In this episode, we're joined by Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist Robin Pendergrast, who shares his insights on documenting Utah's complex social issues, including homelessness. Robin's extraordinary career has taken him across the state and beyond, with his powerful images featured in the Washington Post, Time Magazine, NBC News, and numerous Utah publications. We explore the efforts of local heroes like Wendy Garvin and dedicated organizations that provide life-saving resources beyond simple handouts—offering essentials like blankets, hand sanitizer, and temporary shelter. But while the community steps up, government bureaucracy presents challenges, with policies that hinder access to resources and delay the establishment of much-needed shelters.

In this weeks episode we welcome back a good friend of the show Dan "The Wa-Wa-Man" Silvestri as we get into the crazy boom in the homeless population in our town and across the Nation since he was last on our show in 2022 and what the main causes for this along with what assistance is available. We also get into the crazy F3 & F4 tornados that popped up out of nowhere prior to hurricane Miltons arrival and the major damage it caused in our town of Vero Beach Fl & surrounding areas. People describe it like a "bomb" went off and that it looks like a "war" zone!?

Politicians love to point with alarm and outrage at the homeless problem in America as the fault of business -- for not paying fair salaries -- but it's more to truth that government is the source of the crisis. If government didn't have such burdensome restrictions on building, based on zoning policies, or environmental regulation, or other costly permitting requirements, then free market builders would be freed to build and potential homeowners would be in better financial positions to buy. Jim Burling, with Pacific Legal Foundation, has conducted in-depth research on the homeless crisis in America and has found, in his new "Nowhere to Live," that government is to blame for almost all that ails those living in the streets and in tents.

California city OK's $1M per unit homeless housing project after audit found state wasted billions on crisis

The state of California admitted that over the last 5 years they have spent an estimated $24 Billion dollars to help tackle the state's homelessness crisis. Additionally they admit that they can't really report on how the homeless have benefited in any substantial way since, according to one California Senator Dave Cortese, what they have presented is a “data desert” showing an unsettling lack of transparency at every level. Brian breaks down the numbers and compares it to the results of the Grants Pass Gospel Rescue Mission. Explore Homeless Solutions: https://gospelrescuemissiongp.org/homeless-solutions/

Homelessness in the United States is up 12 percent, to more than 650,000 people which is the highest level ever reported by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Across the country, states are encountering the same problems like soaring rents, declining pandemic assistance, and a lack of affordable housing. Yet, in the city of Reno, Nevada, government services are bringing their homeless numbers down. Division Director of the Washoe County Housing and Homeless Services in Nevada, Dana Searcy explains exactly how the construction of Nevada Cares Campus, a large tent facility for the housing of the homeless, became a huge success that is getting folks off the street and into permanent housing. On October 7th, Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing over one thousand Israeli men, women, and children. Now, the Israel Defense Force is locked in a campaign in Gaza to eradicate the terror group that killed and captured so many of their people. Today, we revisit Dana Perino's interview with former foreign policy advisor to President Bush, Dan Senor, about his new book "The Genius of Israel." Dan discusses where he was when he learned of the October 7th Hamas terror attacks, the rampant antisemitism in America brought to light by the war in the Middle East, and how his book unpacks how Israeli citizens unite and project resilience in the face of great adversity.
