How Progressive Policies Have Aggravated Homeless Crisis During COVID-19

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

The coronavirus crisis has taken a particular toll on the homeless community. Christopher Rufo, a documentary filmmaker and director of Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth and Poverty, joins the podcast to talk about how West Coast progressives have failed the homeless. He also discusses which, if any, areas in the country are handling the homeless crisis during coronavirus pandemic well, and what might happen if there is no change in policies on the west coast for the homeless.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Donald Trump sounds a warning note about state bailouts.
  • Trump says an internal document from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that says coronavirus deaths are projected to reach 3,000 daily by June 1 didn't take mitigation efforts into account.
  • Rep. John Ratcliffe, Trump’s pick to be the next director of national intelligence, said in his Senate hearing Tuesday that he will be independent in his work if confirmed.
