Rafael Mangual

Join Jonathan Rosen, author of "The Best Minds," Kat Rosenfield, novelist and columnist, and Rafael Mangual, legal policy expert, as they unpack the tragedy of Jordan Neely's death. The discussion dives into the societal failures surrounding mental health and public safety, exploring vigilante responses and the complexities of perceived threats in urban environments. They reflect on how systemic issues contribute to such crises and the urgent need for compassionate policy solutions that bridge the gap between mental health care and societal responsibility.

Rafael Mangual, Manhattan Institute policy fellow who studies crime trends and policing, and Chad Pergram, Chief Congressional Correspondent who covers Senate procedure and legislative strategy, unpack the SAVE America Act’s hurdles, filibuster mechanics, amendment tactics, and political maneuvering. They also explore recent nationwide crime declines, changes in routine activities, policing shifts, and how lone-wolf attacks shape public perception.

Rafael Mangual, Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, discusses defunding and depolicing, root causes of crime, '13th' and 'The New Jim Crow', mass incarceration, cash bail reform, and legalizing weed.
