Tucker examines the cause and solutions to the homeless crisis in America. Highlights include:

“No matter what they tell you, homelessness is not an act of God. It’s not the result of economic collapse in this country, America did not run out of housing.”

“Instead, a determined group of well-funded ideologues decided to make it easier to live on the streets in this country while doing drugs.”

“Therefore, many more people now live on the streets while doing drugs.”

“Luxury apartments are just the beginning. Seattle’s most recent municipal budget allocates more than $150 million to other so-called homelessness programs, just this year. Now, keep in mind Seattle has fewer than 750,000 people living there, so that’s an awful lot of money per bum. It’s certainly a lot more than anyone else is getting in Seattle. At the same time it was giving overpriced condos to drug addicts. Seattle allocated just $10 million total for its small business stabilization fund, designed to keep family businesses from going bankrupt during the covid lockdowns.”

“You get what you pay for. When you pay for homelessness, you get a lot more of it.”

“In Los Angeles, politicians have spent billions ‘fighting homelessness.’ This has been accompanied, of course, by a massive increase in the number of people who are homeless. Four years ago, the city spent $440 million on what it called ‘solutions to homelessness.’ That was supposed to fix the problem. Did it? Homelessness in Los Angeles jumped 15% just last year.”

“As for the small businesses crushed by the city’s lunatic covid restrictions, you ask? Well, they get $62 million total.”

“Focusing our attention and money on people who contribute nothing, who only detract from the project that is this country, who don’t help their communities or anybody’s community, who hurt other people, who live solely for themselves, who are a danger to the rest of us … that’s insane.”

“Politicians are making it much easier to be a homeless drug addict in the United States and much harder it is to be a law-abiding member of the middle class.”

“What’s the effect? Well, let’s see. The middle class is dying and we now have record numbers of drug-addicted vagrants. What does that tell you? It tells you that incentives work. If you destroy the nuclear family, which they have, if you decriminalize drugs, which they have, if you hand out tents and needles to addicts, what do you think is going to happen? You’re gonna get more addicts living in tents.”

“The solution is as simple as the problem. Here’s the solution. Stop putting up with it. Say no. No, you can’t smoke meth in the park. You’re not allowed to crap on the sidewalk. Pull up your pants and get the hell out of here. Go somewhere with lower standards. Head for a place where politicians don’t care about their people, because we do care. This is our city, you’re not allowed to wreck it, you didn’t build it.”

“That’s not hard. That works. We know it work because that’s how societies functioned for about 2000 years.”
