Renaldo McKenzie (Host):Welcome back to The Neoliberal Round, where we unpack bold ideas, uncomfortable truths, and complex questions at the intersection of policy, politics, and people. Today's topic? Ending homelessness. That's right—ending it. Not reducing. Not managing. Ending.It's a lofty goal in a neoliberal capitalist world where greed, inequality, and competition often leave the most vulnerable behind. But one city commissioner and hotelier is proposing an unconventional solution—and whether you agree or not, it's an idea that's making waves. Joining us today is Claudio Bono, Commissioner for the City of Cupertino, hotel entrepreneur, nonprofit veteran, and founder of GiveARoof.org. He's tweeted his support for Trump's cuts to homelessness programs—yes, that Trump—which immediately drew fire from progressives. But Claudio says those cuts didn't inspire cruelty in him—they inspired creativity. So… could his airline points-based housing model be the spark we need—or is this just another swing in the dark? Let's find out.

There are 19 local programs across Oregon that recruit, train, supervise and support volunteers who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates for foster children and youth. The programs operate independently with their own budgets and are funded through a mix of state dollars, private donations, philanthropic grants and community fundraising.  This fiscal year, they were also expecting to get a one-time allocation of $1.7 million from the federal government, which was earmarked for community project funding in Oregon. But last month, the Continuing Resolution that Congress passed stripped this funding, which would have been disbursed through the Oregon CASA Network to each of the local programs, based on the number of foster children and youth in the counties they serve.  Jennifer Mylenek, the executive director of CASA of Jackson and Josephine Counties, and Mary Collard, the executive director of CASA of Eastern Oregon, join us to talk about how they’re coping with the impact of the loss of these funds within their rural communities. 

Like other federal agencies, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is facing possible cuts to staffing and funding. The federal agency’s green and resilient retrofit program is intended to upgrade aging affordable housing. The program would also help fund proposals that reduced energy use.   But as the Associated Press reported, funding is being terminated by the Department of Government Efficiency and links to the program on the housing department’s site are no longer available.  Nonprofit leaders in the affordable housing industry say they’re still waiting for federal dollars that were promised. Managers of Smith Tower, an apartment building in Vancouver, say they were awarded funding but haven’t received the money. The construction is currently in limbo, The Columbian reported.    Margaret Salazar is the CEO of REACH Community Development,  a nonprofit affordable housing provider. She joins us with more on how this affects Oregon’s housing crisis and what it means for low-income residents.

In 2023, Oregon was awarded more than $58 million in federal grants from the Inflation Reduction Act to plant and maintain trees. The availability of much of those funds remains uncertain.  Earlier this month, the Oregon Department of Forestry, city agencies and nonprofits told Inside Climate News that at least $40 million dollars in grant reimbursements to boost urban tree canopies in Oregon remain unpaid.  Last week, several U.S. farmers and nonprofits sued the Trump administration for withholding grants funded by the Inflation Reduction Act.   Vivek Shandas is a professor of geography at Portland State University and a member of the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council. He joins us with more on the future of the state’s tree canopies and what they mean for Oregonians.

She was the woman who, under the influence of her demons Koot Hoomi and Djwal Khul wrote many books about occultism and - more specifically - how we should educate our children.

Sanctuary cities are facing tough decisions after Attorney General Pam Bondi halted federal funding for jurisdictions that obstruct immigration enforcement. The Trump administration is taking aggressive legal action against cities like Chicago and Cook County, accusing them of harboring criminal illegal immigrants. Bondi has also ordered investigations into municipalities impeding law enforcement, signaling a shift back to prosecuting violent crimes rather than politically motivated cases. Cities like Philadelphia, Denver, and Boston continue to resist federal enforcement, prioritizing illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens. Meanwhile, ICE is actively removing criminal offenders—including child rapists—from sanctuary jurisdictions like Seattle. The upcoming congressional testimony of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is expected to expose the flawed policies of sanctuary cities, with federal funding cuts likely forcing these liberal strongholds to rethink their stance. The crackdown underscores a return to law and order, challenging the progressive agenda that puts American citizens at risk.

The Trump administration is outright ignoring multiple court orders and continuing to block federal funding, putting critical services and programs at risk across the country. Despite judges ruling against Trump's funding freeze, agencies are still finding ways to delay or deny money Congress has already approved. U.S. District Judge John McConnell ruled that Trump's actions are likely unconstitutional and ordered the government to restore funding immediately. But the administration is still stalling, using loopholes and technicalities to keep the funds locked up. Legal experts say this is more than just budget cuts. This is Trump testing the limits of presidential power, directly challenging Congress's authority over federal spending. Many of the withheld funds are tied to programs Trump opposes, including climate initiatives and diversity programs. At a time when communities rely on these resources, the administration is playing politics with people's livelihoods. The fight isn't over. But one thing is clear: Trump isn't backing down.

This week on Inside the Economy, we discuss recent market activity, Treasury Bills, Oil, and the U.S. international trade balance in light of recent tariff discussions. The U.S. equity markets had a strong year last year but have been more volatile as the new year begins. Net profit margins and forward earnings are good, but what does the price-to-earnings ratio tell us about equities? Market expectations for Fed Policy has raised its target Federal Funds rate from 3% to 4% by 2026 between last fall to the start of the year. Is there a chance the Fed will hike rates in 2025?

President Donald Trump's sudden freeze on federal grants rattled tribes and Native American organizations that depend on those funds. His just-as-sudden retreat is little reassurance to those institutions, some of whom are preparing for a worst-case future for funding. A prime target for President Trump's directives is anything associated with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. That has implications for everything from Native pre-school students to contractors. Organizations in Los Angeles that work with Native urban residents are assessing the damage after the recent fires and how to look ahead to future threats.

A federal judge late Tuesday paused a sweeping order from the Trump administration to temporarily freeze trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans. It was welcome news amid a day of total chaos that left everyone from lawmakers to hospital administrators to preschool teachers scrambling to figure out what the hell the administration's Monday night directive meant for them. White House officials spent the day insisting the funding pause was legal, even as they were forced to clarify its scope throughout the day. Casey Burgat, director of the Legislative Affairs program at George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management, explains why the administration faces an uphill legal battle defending it's order.And in headlines: Newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem wants everyone to know she's a ‘Hot Mama,' the Trump administration offers deferred resignation to government employees, and President Donald Trump signed another executive order targeting trans people.Show Notes:Check out Casey's podcast Mastering The Room – https://tinyurl.com/34rsv7xySupport victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
