Speaker 1 (00:01):
San Francisco is making a big advertising buy with a
new video and song to try to convince people to
start tourists to start come visiting again. I found it hilarious.
I don't know where they shot that video. That doesn't
look like any part of San Francisco I've seen recently.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Union Square is now an armed camp and you're slightly

uber to downtown, you're gonna see so many tents and

(01:23):
people laying in the street that are either dead or

you in.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
I mean, come on, some of that's exaggerated.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
