We’re in a Violent Crime Spike –The Glenn Show
We’re in a Violent Crime Spike | Glenn Loury & Charles Fain Lehman| The Glenn Show. Excellent Show! Below is a list of different topis discussed.
This podcast does an excellent job presenting a moderate conservative approach to crime, policing, drugs etc. If you’re liberal Lehman may draw you more to the middle. If you’re a staunch conservative Lehman will get you to loosen your grip and slide to the middle. After listening to this podcast both liberals and conservatives can find an area for intelligent discussion.
