Plus: How San Francisco's Progressive Policies Made the Homelessness Crisis Worse
August 24 2020
Good morning from Washington, where lawmakers disagree on how to fight homelessness. San Francisco’s failure should be a lesson for all, filmmaker Christopher Rufo shows in a short documentary. A nurses union gains the upper hand over hospital management because of a vote-by-mail election, Kevin Mooney reports. On the podcast, our Fred Lucas talks about his book “Abuse of Power,” which chronicles the drive to impeach the president. Plus: Trump’s high hopes for the Supreme Court; the likelihood of a do-over election; and truth versus media “narratives.” On this date in 1814, British troops burn the White House in a memorable chapter of the War of 1812.
“The mail-in ballot process brought on by COVID-19 has effectively put a 30-day gag order on Mission Hospital,” Heritage Foundation economist Rachel Greszler says.
The core problem, as my short documentary shows, is that the city’s political leaders can’t grasp the true causes and consequences of widespread homelessness.
Fred Lucas, White House correspondent for The Daily Signal, joins the podcast to discuss his new book “Abuse of Power” and how Americans should view Trump’s impeachment.
The valid concerns that the president and others have raised about problems with mail-in voting must not be dismissed as baseless by Democrats and the media.
