Summary

On this episode, Kennedy sits down with Attorney and Host of "Rational in Portland" Podcast Kristin Olson to discuss the rapid rate at which crime and homelessness are increasing in Portland, Oregon. Kristin explains how bail and prosecution laws have changed throughout the past few years, stripping the city of its vibrant charm because it is overrun with mentally ill, homeless, and unprosecutable citizens. She and Kennedy later share their favorite memories from growing up and debate how government can resurrect the City of Roses.
