Rafael Mangual is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute Institute, a contributing editor of City Journal, and authour of the book Criminal (In)Justice: What the Push for Decarceration and Depolicing Gets Wrong and Who It Hurts Most.
He joins us to explain what the HECK is going on with the DSA in New York, what it was like to grow up as a Dominican-Puerto Rican New Yorker with a cop for a father, what BLM and the Defund the Police movement got wrong, and what’s in store for all of us in Mamdani’s New York.
