Summary

Anthony D'Esposito, Inspector General for the United States Department of Labor, joins the show to confirm reports that he is seriously exploring a run to reclaim New York’s 4th Congressional District. The discussion covers the difficulty and high cost of the district, his narrow loss to Laura Gillen, and claims that a smear campaign contributed to that defeat, while emphasizing Republican momentum on Long Island. D’Esposito also discusses his current role investigating labor-related fraud for the Trump administration, and argues that rooting out waste and corruption is critical to protecting vulnerable populations and restoring public trust.
