Episode 12: Biden's Eviction Moratorium

President Biden announced last week that he would be instructing the CDC to extend the Trump administration's eviction moratorium that was implemented in March of 2020 due to Covid 19.  This move has been hailed as a showing of progressive bravery by many on the Left and condemned by many on the Right.
