Episode 161: Defunding the Police, Rising Violence, and the Fight for New York’s Future with Peter King

On this episode, Bo sits down with former Congressman Peter King for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation. They discuss the surge in violent crime in New York City, why “defund the police” is a dangerous path, and how the NYPD remains the last line of defense against rising threats. Bo and King dive into the upcoming mayoral election and warn of the consequences if soft-on-crime candidates prevail. The two also look beyond New York, tackling issues of national security, from federal prosecution of violent offenders to the growing global threats posed by Russia, China, and North Korea. With 9/11’s legacy as a backdrop, Bo and King stress the importance of strong leadership, rebuilding America’s defenses, and restoring public safety for all New Yorkers.
