Summary

Lee Camp takes a sharp, satirical look at homelessness policy in America—contrasting punitive crackdowns with evidence-based solutions. Using Utah as a case study, he revisits how a “Housing First” approach once drove down chronic homelessness and why shifting away from it fueled a surge. Along the way, he spotlights overlooked realities—empty homes, the unique challenges facing veterans and children, and how criminalizing poverty ignores root causes like health care access and affordable housing.

Grounded in reporting and research, the episode argues that proven programs work best when paired with case management and long-term support. Instead of short-term enforcement, it examines outcomes, costs, and human impacts—asking what actually reduces unsheltered homelessness, improves public safety, and strengthens communities. The tone is comedic, but the focus stays on practical, humane policy.

In the second half, the show pivots to digital wellness, exploring how heavy screen time affects attention, empathy, and mental health—especially for adolescents. From the “phone on the table” effect to studies on mood, cognition, and face-to-face connection, Lee breaks down the science with humor and real-world takeaways: device-free conversations, more outdoor time, and mindful tech habits. It’s a fast, funny tour through two urgent issues—homelessness solutions and the screen-saturated lives shaping how we think, feel, and relate.

1:06.0	But tomato tomato. Trump signed an executive order called ending crime and disorder on America's streets.
1:12.5	And of course, the president has shown nothing but kindness and empathy for these individuals
1:18.5	who have the least in our society. They are victims of a fucked up system. And Donald understands that.
1:26.6	The homeless have no right to turn every park and sidewalk
1:29.8	into a place for them to squat and do drugs. Americans should not have to step over piles of
1:36.4	needles and waste as they walk down a street. Yeah, they've turned every park into a goddamn toilet.
1:47.0	Every park. Grand Canyon is just filled to the brim with homo logs.
1:53.0	That's all it is.
1:55.0	And how the hell would Trump even know?
