Summary

Violent crime remains higher than it was pre-pandemic and Republican candidates are blanketing suburban airways with ads about the issue.

This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, criminal justice correspondent Martin Kaste, and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
