In this episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Mike Sperrazza and Glenn Wiggle tackle the growing disconnect between government policy and public safety—from the surge in violent crime in New York City to the dangerous erosion of consequences for criminal behavior. They contrast gun laws across states, debate the roots of the mental health crisis, and expose the revolving door of crony capitalism infecting government and media. Plus, they call out global hypocrisy, from COVID cover-ups to free speech crackdowns, and reflect on the moral compass missing in modern leadership.
