USAID Defunded: Latin America Swings Right

At 24:50 · chapter starts 21:20

Patrick walks through a striking political map: in June 2023, ten Latin American governments leaned left; by June 2026, six countries had flipped right — Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, and Costa Rica — a net swing of +4. The common denominator is the defunding of USAID, which the panel argues had been channeling money toward liberal and socialist candidates across the region. Patrick frames it as a natural experiment: remove the outside funding and see what people actually vote for. His conclusion is that the average person globally is more fiscally conservative and less ideologically socialist than the funded candidates suggested. The data quietly vindicates the argument that voter ID and election integrity matter — if elections reflect real preferences, socialists lose.

And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
