Episode 189: Ignoring the Real Problems. How New Mexico Avoids Addressing Critical Issues
Manage episode 480592417 series 3472870
This week on the No Doubt About It podcast, we go full throttle.
Victory News anchor Mike Garofalo joins us to tackle some of the most outrageous—and revealing—stories making headlines. We kick things off with a head-scratching article from the Albuquerque Journal asking why we don’t have bigger buildings downtown. The piece dances around the issue with a list of bizarre theories… but conveniently ignores the obvious: when crime, drugs, and homelessness go unchecked, developers stay far away. Mark breaks it down—and doesn’t hold back.
Then we dig into a heated exchange between the Albuquerque City Council and the Police Chief, showing once again how local leadership loves political theater more than solving real problems.
But it gets worse. In Las Cruces, there’s actually a proposal to create "safe spaces" for addicts to shoot up drugs. You read that right. Mark unleashes on how dangerous—and cruel—this policy is, and how it's a guaranteed path to tragedy.
We also break down Trump’s interview with Kristen Welker of Meet The Press, where she tried to corner him and ended up outmatched. Krysty walks through where the media got it wrong—again.
And finally… we end with Trump as the Pope. Yes, really. A tweet that sparked everything from laughs to internal debates. Let’s just say not everyone on our team was amused.
