Regardless of your political leanings I think it's a worthwhile watch.

I was okay with what he was saying until he made the statement that Democrats and big Wall Street law firms did something "because they wanted to increase homelessness."   Seriously?  I would think that if he actually wanted to persuade someone of something, he would offer a whole bunch of facts before he came out with bull [BLEEP] like that.  

And then he follows up with the statement that he doesn't know why they wanted to increase homelessness.  But somehow, he knows that Democrats and big Wall Street lawyers wanted to increase homelessness.  

I can't listen to bull [BLEEP] like that.

Maybe he has some legitimate point to make somewhere in that morass of ideas he's putting out, but it seems from the start that it's just another attempt to demonize people on the other side of the political equation and toss some red meat to his viewers.

So then he goes on for 20 minutes about a problem we are all well aware of, and at the end he offers the solution: throw their tents in the land fill and tell them to get out of town.  How is that remotely supposed to happen?  Tell a drug addict or insane person to get out of town?  Okay.  Then what?  

Yes, I did watch the whole thing.  It's nothing but a nice way to fill 25 or so minutes of his show with little effort.
