About this episode
Jose Antonio Kast is the president elect of Chile and takes over in March. He's already told foreigners they'd better be gone before he builts a moat - yes, a moat! - on along their border with Bolivia. Will it be guarded by dragons? He's the latest in a string of Trump disciples to be elected across Latin America...libertarian, anti-foreigner, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-trade union, anti-indigenous, anti-pretty much everything except big business, mining, foreign investors, flags and uniforms. His dad was a German nazi. His brother served in the government of dictator, Augusto Pinochet. He takes office on 11 March. Joe and Daniel look forward to what Chile and Latin America can expect from Mr Kast and back because, as we know, everything happens for a reason.
