Facism Arrives in Tiny Steps - EP 264

Gene asks Maria and Casey about their music gigs. As you might expect, the comfort level isn't really there for either of them just yet.

Gene asks: Is protesting seeing a 1960s level comeback as a force for change? For years, I've been hearing young people say to me "Man, I wish I'd lived during the 60s like you did when huge changes were being made almost daily, usually driven by expressions made in the streets." Well, that feeling is alive today. These street protests, which are still continuing, have true power.

Jerry points out that while these protests are similar to the 1960s, those protests started because of the draft for the Vietnam war. These protests today are based on the country we want to be.

Since he was mayor of a major city, we'll pick Jerry's brain about the challenges mayors face today balancing a city's need for police protection in normal daily life and the current climate where some are literally calling for defunding or even disbanding law enforcement as we know it.
