On this episode, Kevin and Ed welcome back Maud Maron, the Republican candidate for Manhattan District Attorney, for an in-depth conversation about the future of public safety in New York City. Maud shares her journey from longtime public defender to education advocate and now candidate for DA, explaining why she left the Democratic Party after decades to take on Alvin Bragg. She discusses her opposition to defunding the police, her concerns about rising crime, and how prosecutorial decisions directly affect quality of life for everyday New Yorkers. The conversation also covers the dangers of radical policies, the failures of decarceration, and the importance of restoring accountability to the justice system. With the stakes higher than ever, Maud makes her case for why Manhattan needs change at the DA’s office and what her vision for a safer city looks like.
