Episode 86 opens with a breakdown of the February 24th Washington Square Park incident, where an emergency NYPD response escalated into officers being chased, attacked, and injured with snowballs—an account that directly contradicts Mayor Mamdani’s description of the encounter as “a childish snowball fight among kids.” The hosts then pivot to the city’s multibillion‑dollar budget gap, arguing that his tax proposals ignore the structurally unsustainable costs of the sanctuary‑city and right‑to‑shelter framework and rely on political avoidance rather than fiscal reality. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Don D. Ford III — the Managing Partner of Ford + Bergner LLP, a boutique Texas firm specializing in estate planning, guardianship, and complex estate litigation. Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law, he’s known for decades of courtroom work and for steering Texas’s toughest family and fiduciary disputes.
