President Trump has promised to move the homeless 'far away' from Washington DC, and now that federal agents are flooding the capital, local activists are outraged.
More show notes: Protesters fight each other in DC over homeless. Locals upset over police/national guard in area and believe Trump overstepped his bounds.
Others say crime is not going down and this needs to be done.
Is New York next?

Some panhandlers around here make 40k a year untaxed and live in a nice apartment.
I always ask them for gas money if they bother me.
On the other hand; homeless vets have gotten free transportation and lunch from me.
I worked with a homeless outreach ministry through our insurance business last year and found that about 10% of those I ministered to were interested in getting off the street. I gave away all of my heavy clothes, tent, bicycles, and bought food and blankets during the winter only to watch most of the people we were trying to help sneak off to smoke crack with their buds.
My wife and I took one into our home while the ministry found her a place to live, gave her furniture to set up house keeping only to be cursed at because we would not support the lesbian lifestyle she suddenly confessed to.
There were several that did well though. I have one man in his sixties that slept in a ditch for two years to be close to his wife that was in a nursing home. We got him a voucher for housing when his Medicare kicked in, and a couple more that seemed to be able to recover.
I believe in helping the poor of our tribe, but giving outside of the tribe is not biblical and doesn’t seem to bear much fruit.
So...you rely on politicians?
Do you believe in the tooth fairy?
You know why they want that dont you?
Because they are on the take.
Pay your taxes!
Well...do not move here the AZ.
And i am serious. Just do research on the ground water issue. We are running out of water.
And yet, they issue permits to build developments.
This is gonna become a very extreme problem here, in NW AZ inland from the River.
Oh no doubt its creeping out.
Thats how they do it. Make it somebody elses problem. Just like Trump is doing in DC. Just like they do in CA.
