Summary

Today Will & Amala react to clips from PragerU’s NEW documentary “Homelessness: The Reality and the Solution” and interview two men who were featured in the documentary. The first is Tom Wolf, a former drug addict and homeless person turned advocate, who shares his incredible story of recovery and explains what it really takes to get people off the streets. Next, we speak to Judge Glock, an author, researcher, and Chief Policy Officer at the Cicero Institute who debunks the “housing first” approach to solving homeless used by progressive cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. Stay tuned for the end of the show where Will & Amala face Reddit’s toughest moral dilemmas from a sub called “Am I The A-Hole?”
