What happens when good intentions go wrong, and progressive policies become the catalyst for a burgeoning homeless crisis? The city of Portland is struggling with this reality, as unchecked drug use, theft, and even human trafficking engulf the streets. We take you into the heart of Southeast Steel Street, where the encampments of the homeless form a grim backdrop. Hear the distressing experiences of residents like Dan Flannery and Susan Macaulay, who are victims of the rampant crime. It's an eye-opening exploration of how the progressive ethos, when unchecked, can lead to unforeseen and grave consequences.

Our conversation then ventures beyond Portland, tracing the ripple effects of similar policies on the broader West Coast. We focus on the plight of businesses and federal workers, who bear the brunt of these societal pressures. To our surprise, we discover that the impact of Portland's crisis has even reached as far as Honduras. This episode is an earnest call to action, underlining the urgent need for effective leadership to tackle this escalating crisis. We invite you, our listeners, to join the conversation and share your perspective on these complex issues.
