    Public Safety At A Breaking Point — “85% Of All Crime Actually Goes Back To Drug Trafficking.” — Bobby Charles

    Part One takes a hard look at Maine’s public safety crisis — from drug trafficking and repeat offenders to cashless bail, the court backlog, and the imbalance between prosecutors and public defenders. Bobby Charles outlines how drug trafficking drives the majority of crime in the state, and discusses the pressures facing law enforcement, gaps in deterrence, and the need to restore accountability. He also examines failures inside DHHS, rising MaineCare strain, and the broader affordability issues placing Mainers at risk.

    In this first part of the conversation, Maine Veterans' Homes CEO Brad Klawitter joins Corenna and David Quirk in-studio to discuss the organization’s history, mission, and the financial headwinds facing long-term care for Maine’s veterans.

    🎙️ “They Knew That It Was a Problem.” — AND — “They Didn’t Tell Anybody.” — Frey on PFAS manufacturers concealing known dangers and profiting from decades of silence.

    Part Two continues the in-studio conversation with Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, as he explains how PFAS manufacturers knowingly hid the dangers of their “forever chemicals” for decades—contaminating Maine’s soil, water, and farmland. Frey discusses the state’s lawsuits against 3M, DuPont, and subsidiaries, comparing the cover-up to the tobacco industry deception of the 1990s, and stresses that corporations—not taxpayers—must fund the cleanup and remediation costs.

    The discussion also expands to consumer protection issues, including Maine’s new deed-fraud commission, proposed contractor-licensing reforms, and the growing threat of technology-based scams and cryptocurrency fraud. Frey provides updates on illegal marijuana grow houses, highlighting coordination among state and federal law enforcement and emphasizing the need for due process and community safety.

He explains how bipartisan cooperation has helped move bills forward, reflects on the responsibility of public service, and speaks candidly about the tough decision to list his third-generation family business for sale after 64 years.

    “Money’s Better Off in the Mainer’s Pockets Than in the Government’s.” — Jones on Taxes, Energy, and Accountability. Part TWO Oct 19, 2025
    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    In Part Two of their conversation with Republican gubernatorial candidate David Jones, Corenna and David Quirk dive into the economic and policy challenges shaping Maine’s future.

    Jones calls high taxes and government waste “oppressive,” arguing that working Mainers are trapped in what he describes as “economic prison.” He outlines his plan to make Maine more affordable through fiscal reform, energy independence, and efficiency in government — including the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to root out waste and redirect resources where they matter most.

    The conversation expands into energy policy, where Jones advocates for natural gas pipelines and small modular nuclear power, as well as vocational training, housing shortages, and business growth. He also discusses restructuring DHHS to protect children and strengthen accountability, tackling illegal marijuana grows, and supporting law enforcement to keep Maine communities safe.

    Drawing on decades in business, Jones says rebuilding trust in government begins with fiscal responsibility and common sense — putting Mainers first, not bureaucracy.
