Progressive political commentator Ana Kasparian pulled no punches in her assessment of how bad liberal mecca San Francisco has become thanks to rising crime, homelessness, and Democrat policies.
During the latest episode of businessman and commentator Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, the "Young Turks" co-host called the California city a "nightmare" and warned visitors, "Your car’s going to get broken into, okay? You’re going to get robbed."
The conversation began with Bet-David bringing up Kasparian’s X post from last month in which she claimed, "California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom. But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic Party excels at these days."
Kasparian, a Los Angeles native, told the podcast's co-hosts she believes her hometown and California still have "a lot of potential," but added, "there have been some policies implemented that have been disastrous."
She took aim at Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., and the state government, stating, "So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things." She mentioned that the state government has done this with prostitution, for example.
"No one is safe, everyone’s angry, and you see all sorts of terrible stuff happening right there in broad daylight in the middle of the street."
"They did the same thing with drugs," she continued, adding, "So what do you see in California? A bunch of people shooting up, OK? And smoking crack all over the place."
Kasparian added, "I’m sorry, I’m not interested in seeing that! I don’t think we should be, you know, dealing with that on the metro system. Why do taxpayers have to deal with that?"
"The Young Turks" co-host then tore into San Francisco: "San Francisco is terrifying.

"Progressives" are mid level 'elites' and they assumed the horrors and nightmares were things they could watch from the safety of their privilege. But no, it's not working out that way. The pain, fear and crime and stepping in sh*t is hitting them and sticking to their shoes AND they don't like it. Welcome to the real world idiot left wing nutcases. Now to convince the upper level 'elites'...
Wow Ana’s had a ton of work done to her since 2016, and bottled blonde now to boot. NOT GUILTY.
Watching the Young Turks tape of election night 2016 was priceless. You could see the sweat droplets falling from Ana’s armpits and the night wore on.
So? Leftists have been robbing decent Americans for years.
The perfect place for an Asian mafia. Just pay into it and get your own paid-for justice.
The truth is Frisco started going down hill when they ran off Harry Callahan.
Ana Kasparian, lefty, “The Young Turks” off-the-wall co-host:
<><> Newsom and the Cali Democratic legislature decriminalize everything
<><>they refuse to regulate ...
<><>no one is safe, everyone’s angry,
<><>there’s terrible stuff happening in broad daylight in the middle of the street
She added, “So what do you see in California? A free-for-all, a bunch of people shooting up, smoking crack all over the place.” ... Why do taxpayers have to deal with that?”
Democrats.......they’ll never learn.
Waaaaahhhhh!!!!!
If it was Trump v. Newsome, guess who she’ll vote for. Leftists are LEFTISTS.
Make the USA like California. Vote for Gruesome Newsom, he can do it. /S
Welcome to the hell hole you helped create, you moron!
I’d like to ask her how she would fix it.
I imagine “more money” would be on top of her recommendations.
“The Young Turks”
Should be the “young turk and the armenian”.
“One thing you don’t want to say is “How could it get any worse?””
Yes, they’ll take that as a challenge.
Save money or lives: The real issue in prison closings!
Tom Elias California Focus: /2023/10/02/
Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in Sacramento are working steadily these days to close several California prisons, perhaps as many as six.
The stated benefits include saving money and doing something to address mass incarceration of Blacks and other minorities, which is partly the result of the much-maligned federal and state “war on drugs.”
But despite support from the elected chief prosecutors in several of the most populous California counties, there are dangers.
Take some provisions of a bill that came within a hair of becoming law this fall, one that would allow most convicts, including murderers and rapists, to petition for re-sentencing and eventual
parole.
