In This Episode:

James and Al call out the growing divisiveness of our politics and stand up for the 1st Amendment, before diving into the government funding battle.  Then, they welcome criminal justice experts David Kennedy and David Harris to discuss cutting crime, respecting our rights, and making our cities safer.  In their conversation they weigh the challenges of local policing, federal enforcement, and community initiatives and violence prevention programs.  Further, they explore the problems driving crime and lay out the policies that have proven success and can quickly make a real impact on those in danger.
