Senator Mullin's Fistfight Challenge: How Lack of Civility Stalls Progress on Issues Like Landlord-Tenant Law
Show Notes

When Politics Gets Physical: The Lieb Cast discusses Senator Markwayne Mullin's shocking challenge of a union leader to a fistfight during a congressional hearing. As vitriol dominates the news cycle, we explore recent New York legislation and federal litigation together with geopolitical politics. Shouldn't we, as a society, be talking about issues like what obligations a deceased tenant's estate should have to their landlord or how to balance free speech and anti-discrimination, rather than being distracted by vitriol that teaches citizens to have fistfights in the grocerystore? We need to listen to Senator Sanders more and raise the bar of what is expected of each of us.
