Larry Sharpe is a veteran, entrepreneur, and libertarian who's making his third run for Governor of New York in 2026. I asked him why he thinks he can win and what he wants to do for the state of New York.

He's also the host of "The Sharpe Way," a popular podcast and radio program where he dives into policy debates, civil liberties, and solutions to government overreach.

If People Only Knew the true cost of keeping people safe. I sat down with Fire Union President Matthew Sahr to talk about how fire departments cost more than money. Fire fighters are suffering with chronic health conditions and ptsd. The increase in property taxes can be traced back to private equity firms buying up all the fire and ambulance truck manufacturers. 

If you do not get anything else from this episode, I hope you at least stop into your local station, say thank you to your first responders, and wish them a Merry Christmas. 

The show will resume in the New Year!
