JD Vance says attending an event in Los Angeles reminded him of visiting US embassy in 3rd world country

Vice President JD Vance compared parts of Los Angeles to a 'third-world country' during a conversation with Joe Rogan, citing the contrast between extreme wealth and squalor. He described driving through skid row and recalling visits to the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, while noting his wife's southern California roots and his 'heartbreak' over the state's condition. Rogan echoed concerns about California's decline under Gov. Gavin Newsom.
