STREAMING MAKING OF JBS, FEATURING JEFF BLISS AND MICHAEL VLAHOS, 6-19, 2026.

1903 LA CHINATOWN

This discussion explores the political and economic shifts currently reshaping the West Coast, specifically the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) within the Democratic Party. The speakers analyze how progressive policies and high taxes in cities like Portland and states like California are driving major corporations and billionaire investors to relocate to more business-friendly environments like Texas. By drawing historical parallels to the activism of the 1960s, they suggest that today's radical movements may eventually become the new political establishment. The conversation also addresses local governance challenges, including homelessness and leadership scandals involving figures like Gavin Newsom. Finally, the dialogue transitions into geopolitical strategy, questioning the future of American interventionism and the necessity of extricating the United States from long-standing conflicts in the Middle East.
