In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with author and policy expert Heather Mac Donald to break down the real drivers behind America’s homelessness crisis, rising urban disorder, and shifting crime trends.

Drawing on her latest analysis, Mac Donald argues that homelessness is not simply an economic issue—but a policy choice fueled by ideology, weak enforcement, and government mismanagement. The two also dive into the role of sanctuary cities, illegal immigration, and the broader cultural shift away from law and order.

Plus, they unpack:

• Why homelessness is surging in major cities
• The role of mental illness, addiction, and public policy
• How crime data is reported—and what it may be missing
• Whether political leadership is driving changes in crime trends
• Why voters continue to support policies that critics say worsen conditions
