Larry Discusses:
-The current east coast fuel "crisis", and why gas prices are rising. Who is to blame? Will it get any better?
-The recent Times Square shooting and subway attacks, and the rising NYC crime rate, and what the current positions of Mayoral Candidates say about sticking to ideology in the face of objective reality that may contradict it.
- Liz Cheney being kicked out of her leadership position in the Republican Caucus due to not being supportive enough of Trump.
-The current Israel-Palestinian conflict. What is it about? Why is it happening again now? Who is to blame?
* Note - while discussing which NYC mayoral candidate wanted to cut 3 billion dollars from police/corrections, I mistakenly said "he", when I mean to attribute that policy stance to candidate Ms. Dianne Morales*
