It was like 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: I was in the construction zone. It was hilarious. But 34 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 3: I don't have much of that bled through. I have 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: a request of you to remind me later, but not 36 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: right now, because I got to give to the story. 37 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: To remind me later. Let's talk to the goobers about 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: the rules of engagement. I know we have some new ones, Bill, 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: we always need more, and so let's let's talk about 40 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 3: that later. 41 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: Though. Do you remember. 42 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: Yesterday when I mentioned something about this guy on the 43 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: Chicago Transit Authority, The CTA decided that, hey, you know, 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: think I'll just doubt somebody with gas and just burn Burnham. 45 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: And I don't know whether she's still alive or not. 46 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: I failed to check this morning, but that story percolated 47 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: up again again today, and I know that all the 48 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 3: bleeding heart. Liberals out there are right about one thing. 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: Career criminals do not deserve all of the blame for 50 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 3: the mayhem that they inflict. 51 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: No, they don't. We should. 52 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: We should not blame the criminals. Others are arguably more responsible. 53 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 3: Consider the case of Lawrence Read. Now we know his name, 54 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: and I usually don't give out the names of the 55 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 3: thugs that do this kind of stuff, but I want 56 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: you to know about Lawrence Read. Federal prosecutors alleged to 57 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: Read intentionally. My source for this is the uh it 58 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: was Fox News federals because I am This percolated up 59 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: also because I heard Paul Morrow, who is a former 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: NYPD cop detective or something and he's a Fox News contribute. 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: I heard him on the way in today and we're 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 3: going to talk about what he had to say. But 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: in an entirely different context, Fox News said, federal prosecutors 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 3: alleged Read intentionally used gasoline and a lighter to set 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: a woman on fire aboard a CTA Blue Line train 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: at about nine thirty pm on Monday. US District Attorney 67 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: for the Northern District of Illinois, Andrew buttro So, the 68 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 3: woman was quote minding your own business and reading her phone. 69 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: I didn't know you could read your ponemore reading your 70 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: phone while seated in the middle of the train car. 71 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: When Reid approached her from the back of the car, 72 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: doused her head and body with gasoline and attempted to 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: ignite the liquid. Can you imagine you're sitting there on 74 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: the train and you're just you're a light rail You're 75 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: just trying to get home. You've had a really lousy day. 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: You had to you know, you had to listen to me, 77 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 3: or you had to deal with Dragon, or you know, 78 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: we had to deal with our management team or whatever, 79 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: and we just we just want to go home. And 80 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: some dirt bag thug behind just stands up and pours 81 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: gasoline on you. Good grief. Now, I don't know. Maybe 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: this guy was inspired by his call his colleague to 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 3: Carlos Brown. That's the guy that slipped Irena Zeruitski's throat 84 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: when she was sitting minding her own business on the 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: Charlotte light rail. So all these liberals, you know, probably 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: will start to go fund me for read like they 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 3: did for Brown. They yes, they they actually start go 88 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: fundme for the backcrap crazy and our people in our 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: in our society that tried to kill each other, just 90 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: randomly on the subways or on the trains. The woman, 91 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: The Fox News says, the woman ran to the back 92 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: of the car as he ignited the rest of the 93 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: liquid in the bottle and then used it to light 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: her on fire. According to the complaint, footage allegedly showed 95 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: read watching the woman engulfed in flames as she tried 96 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: to put out the fire by rolling on the floor. 97 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: Can you imagine now, I've been in burnwards, but look, 98 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 3: do you want to shoot me in the headshoe me 99 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: in the head. I really don't want to be stabbed 100 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: to death. I really don't want to bleed out or anything. 101 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: But the one thing I don't want to do is 102 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: to be burned, to burn to death, have third degree 103 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 3: burns over you know, X percent of your body. It 104 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 3: is if you've if you've never been in a burn ward, 105 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: you're fortunate. When you go, you'll understand what I mean. 106 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: Boutro said, is the woman was rolling on the ground. 107 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: That's really trying to put out the fire. Nobody came 108 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: to her aid. Nobody came to her aid. Nobody said, oh, 109 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: let me take my jacket off. Or let me row 110 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 3: you on the floor, let me do something, try to 111 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: put you out? 112 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: What do you do? Did you take a damn video 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: of it? Holy crap? 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: Now, if if somebody let loose let's say, a rattlesnake 115 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: and in a in a nursery, who's the blame when 116 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: the baby gets bitten? Who's the blame? Of course, you 117 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 3: take care that the snake is never going to bite again? 118 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: How many times have I taken a shove and boom 119 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: chopped off the head. 120 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 2: Of a rattle snake? Were taking a shotgun to it? 121 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: But the moral responsibility belongs to the liberals, who time 122 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: and again unleashed people like Read and the sky Brown 123 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: at the public's throat, No pun intended there for their 124 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 3: whatever warped ideological reasons they have the judges, all the 125 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: sorols appointed district attorneys who let them loose need to 126 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 3: be tried as accomplices to the crimes that inevitably follow 127 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: from their public policies. But then where do you draw 128 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: the line? Sure, everyone who votes for pro criminal democrats 129 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 3: bear some of the glame, the blame they are angling 130 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: to get Read off for setting the woman on fire 131 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: with the insane insanity defense. This defense might also apply 132 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: to those liberal judges, and for that matter, to Democrat 133 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 3: voters who keep putting these people in place. But go 134 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: back to the point where no one came to her aid, 135 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: That says an awful lot of at our society. Nobody 136 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: came to her, aid, I want to tell you a story. 137 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: I know, and we've talked, probably incessantly, not quite as. 138 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Much as we do other things. 139 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: But this will not be the first time that I've 140 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: talked about the broken windows theory. But have we ever 141 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: stopped and thought about the implications of the broken windows 142 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: theory and what it means for our society as a whole, 143 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: for your children, your grandchildren, for you just going to 144 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: work today. Have you ever thought about it that theory 145 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: holds that visible disorder vandalism, graffiti literally broken windows, or 146 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: somebody being dashed with gasoline on a train and nobody 147 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: doing a damn thing about it, that signals neglect. It invites, 148 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: you know, more minor transaggressions, and then that can escalate 149 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: into serious crimes if we don't quickly address those simple 150 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: things that start out simply you know, a little mugging here, 151 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 3: you know, just a minder mugg You know, nobody cares 152 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: that's a purse snatching or somebody just you know points that. 153 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 3: You know, they they pull the old drake and they 154 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 3: is that pickle in your pants? Are you happy to 155 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: see me? You know? They put a little they put 156 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: their finger in their coat pocket and then they stare 157 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: at you like, you know, hey, this is a stick up, 158 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: This is a hold up. 159 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: Give me what you got. 160 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: This broken windows theory is now a broken meaning. When 161 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: I came in today, they're downstairs, and I watched them 162 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 3: for a moment because I'm just curious how they do it. 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: We have these gigantic windows in the lobby of this building. 164 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: And they're I don't know, thirty forty fifty feet high, 165 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: and there's some window washers inside washing them. And I thought, 166 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: that's kind of ironic. I'm gonna talk about broken windows today. 167 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: I wonder if they're gonna break the windows. So then 168 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: I'm watching them, and then they start watching me watching them, 169 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: and I'm just They're probably like, you know, are you 170 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 3: are you at the boss of the building, are you 171 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 3: are you the maintenance supervisor or no, I'm just curious. 172 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: I'm just curious. I'm just watching you do your work. 173 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: It's a good work, guys, good work, good work. Broken windows. 174 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: This whole theory. I shouldn't say the theory, but the 175 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 3: phrase the broken windows theory got popularized by James Q. 176 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: Wilson and George Kelly in nineteen eighty two. The theory's 177 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: narrative and the origin for the theory traces to Philip Zimbardo, 178 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 3: who in nineteen sixty nine conducted a field experiment. He 179 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: took two abandoned cars he put and these were identical cars, 180 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: absolutely the same. So let me tell you a story 181 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 3: about the cars. Nineteen sixty nine. He's a Stanford psychologist, 182 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 3: phil Phillip Zimbardo. He left two identical cars without license plates, 183 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: with their hoods raised in two contrasting settings, one on 184 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 3: a Bronx street Bronx, New York, and the other one 185 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 3: in Palo Alto, California, Silicon Valley today. He wanted to 186 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: test how context and disorder influence vandalism. So the Bronx 187 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: car was attacked within minutes and stripped within a day. 188 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: And you're not surprised by that, are you. The subsequent 189 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: destruction of the car in the Bronx included smashed windows, 190 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 3: torn upholstery, as passers by treated the vehicle as abandoned 191 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 3: and fair game. Now let's go to Palo Alto, exact 192 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: same car. It remained completely untouched for about a week, 193 00:10:52,920 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: showing the mere abandonment without overt cues of damage that 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: did not immediately trigger opportunistic vandalism in that environment. So 195 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: to probe the role of a salient disorder, Q Zimbardo 196 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: then struck the Palo Alto car the sledgehammer. He started 197 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: breaking the windows. After that trigger that was a trigger 198 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: vandalism on that car, Impalo Alto began to accelerate and 199 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: the car was rapidly destroyed, suggesting that visible disorder somehow 200 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: grants permission for further violations by signaling that the norms 201 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: are not enforced. Speaking of norms not enforced, let me 202 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: just add a little footnote here. Not totally related, but 203 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: I think there's some real I think there's some correlation here. 204 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: So Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation, in ahead of 205 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: next week's you know, heavy Thanksgiving travel. 206 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: You know, everybody gets Hong Go see. 207 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: Rama and everybody runs through the airport and then we 208 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: have TV cruise, radio cruise everywhere we're talking. 209 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: About, Oh my god, look at the lines. Look at 210 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: the lines. 211 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because everybody keeps eating it and everybody thinks 212 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: it's time to go. But he talked about civility in 213 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 3: airports and airlines, and he made a comment that just 214 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: made me chuckle. He said, how about you just learned 215 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: to say please and thank you? How beout you learn 216 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: not to yell at the gate agents even though you're frustrated. 217 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 3: You know what, they're probably as frustrated as you are. 218 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: How about this, how about you not where your pajamas 219 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: on the plane? 220 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 2: Now? 221 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: I see that all the time, or the wife meaters, 222 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: or you know, the flip flops. 223 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: Give me a. 224 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 3: Break, now, I don't I don't expect people to put 225 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: a suit on, a suit and tie. 226 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 2: I don't expect Dragon. 227 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: When Dragon goes, you know, hauling off to Vegas wherever 228 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: he's gonna take missus Redburea on a next vacation, I 229 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: don't expect him to put on a suit and tie. 230 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: But I don't expect him to wear his flip flops 231 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: and his pajamas either. Nobody dragging, Nobody wants to see it. 232 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 3: Nobody wants to see nobody wants to PJS. We just 233 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: don't want to see it. So back to the professor 234 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: from Stanford that that professor and other commentators emphasized that 235 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: there are two interpretive points. First, a conspicuous queue of 236 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 3: neglect can rapidly change social behavior. The second, the initial 237 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 3: vandal need not be a typical criminal. Ordinary people can 238 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 3: be drawn in once the norm appears broken, And accounts 239 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: of this experiment consistently highlighted that when the Palo Altos 240 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: car's first window was broken, all of the onlookers people 241 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 3: just you know, walking by, shifted from a spectator to 242 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: a participant, and that illustrates how disorder can lower inhibitions 243 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: and foster imitation. Now, two professors Wilson and Kelling, translated 244 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: the logic of Zimbardo's observation into a broader urban and 245 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: policing framework in a essay in The Atlantic magazine in 246 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty two. They offered the broken window as a 247 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: metaphor for how small signs of disorder undermined the community 248 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: norms and inform our social control and our social compact. 249 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: They argue that when windows stay broken, graffiti persists, or 250 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 3: aggressive penhandling goes unchecked. Residents infer that, hey, nobody's in charge, 251 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: so the offenders they perceive impunity. Nobody's going to enforce anything. 252 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: I'm not going to be held accountable. I knew whatever. 253 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: I damn well please. And then both physical and social 254 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: disorder began to expand, and I propagate. I think they're 255 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: exactly right now. Their account distinguished between chasing criminals and 256 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 3: maintaining order, contending that just routine, visible enforcement of norms 257 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: and support for community standards can prevent the sequence by 258 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: which a minor disorder begets more serious crime. Their emphasis 259 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: was on restoring signals of guardianship. What does that mean? 260 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: Things like, oh, I don't know, clearing the graffiti, fixing 261 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:41,359 Speaker 3: the windows, addressing the low level in fractions, lettering, panhandling, begging, muggings, 262 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: you know, purse snatchings. That would mean that a neighborhood. 263 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: You know. 264 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 3: Somebody I talked to you yesterday at the at the 265 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: food drive was an not to be named. I'm not 266 00:15:54,640 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: going to name him Denver cop who's main main area 267 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: of jurisdiction is downtown Denver. And I asked, hey, you know, 268 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 3: off the record, you know how bad is its? All 269 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 3: of the nonverbal signals were there to affirm what I 270 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: believe about downtown Denver. So what are we doing in 271 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: places like downtown Denver or light rail or the Chicago 272 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: Transit Authority or the light rail and Charlotte. Well, you're 273 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 3: indicating that neighborhoods are communicating that rules are known, but 274 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 3: they're not enforced. And when they're not enforced, then that means, hey, 275 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 3: you can just do whatever you want to do. Just 276 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: do whatever you want to do. 277 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: That. 278 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's take a break and I'll finish this on 279 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 3: the other side of the break. But I think that 280 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: this is this whole liberal idea of we keep seeing 281 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: people that have rap sheets a mile long. 282 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: It's a broken window, Michael. 283 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the mainstream media to start blaming the 284 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: victim for being on her phone and not being aware 285 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: of her surroundings. 286 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: Three two, one, go, go. 287 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 3: Exactly now, think about this. So nineteen sixty nine, this 288 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: professor in Palo Alto at Stanford decides to conduct this 289 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: experiment nineteen sixty nine, and there we and then in 290 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 3: an Atlantic essay in nineteen eighty two they translate it 291 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 3: into the broken windows theory. And now here we are 292 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five, and. 293 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: We see it all around us. We see it everywhere. 294 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: You see it in You know, one of my bugaboos 295 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 3: is how filthy the interstate highways are in Colorado. Not 296 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: necessarily in the rural areas, but you get into the 297 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 3: urban areas and they clean the media's what once every 298 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 3: six months or something, and you'll find all sorts of 299 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: debris in those medians. Or you go down to downtown Denver, 300 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: or you go anywhere, and all the little things are ignored. 301 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: And then we wonder why crime is rampant in places 302 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 3: like Colorado, because we know that the broken windows theory 303 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: is alive and well today in Colorado and in Chicago, 304 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 3: Los Angeles, New York, Charlotte, wherever you see these things 305 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 3: taking place. And it's all because judges and prosecutors and 306 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 3: quite frankly, we as the public don't demand that we 307 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 3: do that we take care of the little things. Oh 308 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: so it's your first defense and you rob the liquor store, 309 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 3: but you only took twenty bucks, or you stole something 310 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 3: from the liquor store or whatever. Okay, so we're's going 311 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: to give you probation. But that just encourages them that 312 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 3: they know there're no consequence instance, no consequences whatsoever. And 313 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 3: we now have subsequent field studies that extend this logic. 314 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: When people encounter graffiti or litter, they become more likely 315 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: to violate the norms themselves, reinforcing the idea that one 316 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: single visible transgression invites another one. We synthesize all of 317 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 3: the scholarly studies about this. It's described as a developmental 318 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 3: sequence by which unchecked physical and social disorder directly and 319 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: indirectly raises crime via weakened community control and emboldened offenders. 320 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 2: Look around you, look around you today. 321 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: So something that is first identified in nineteen sixty nine 322 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 3: is given a name in nineteen eighty two, and in 323 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, here we are witnessing it all around 324 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: and people are going, we'll shazam. 325 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 2: What do I do? 326 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 3: You demand better of our society? You demand that politicians 327 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 3: actually enforced the law, that prosecutors prosecute, that cops arrest, 328 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: that they actually file police reports, and then that judges 329 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 3: themselves actually impose penalties for the crimes that are committed. 330 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: Or you demand that mayors clean up the streets, that 331 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 3: they get the homeless off the street. I'm sorry, you 332 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 3: get the drug addicts, you get all of those people 333 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: off the streets that just continued to contribute. I pulled 334 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 3: up today to get my diet coke and I'm looking 335 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: around and at an intersection very near to the studio, 336 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 3: there is trash everywhere, and when I looked closely, couldn't 337 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: find any needles. But there were some drug vials, drug 338 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: vials like you know if you've got one docking mount. Mentally, 339 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 3: I think, and you take testosterings shots like I do, 340 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 3: the little the files of medicine. Who knows what it was, 341 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: baggies of stuff, trash everywhere. That's the signal to everybody 342 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: else that nobody cares. That nobody cares. The power of 343 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 3: broken windows lies in its intuitive claim that environments communicate norms. 344 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: So when you see, you know, a bunch of drug addled, 345 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: you know, nincompoops hanging around a light rail station in Denver, 346 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: then you know that there's likely to be crime. And 347 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: when you look around and you see the or you 348 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 3: notice the absence of any law enforcement, then you know 349 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 3: that those drug addled nincompoops are empowered and are going 350 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 3: to be brazenly engaged in criminal activity. And then we 351 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 3: wonder why crime's out of control. Visible maintenance, calibrated norm 352 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 3: enforcement is the only way to prevent these spirals of 353 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 3: decay that we are witnessing. Modern practices, Modern practices should 354 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 3: stress balancing order. Obviously with civil liberties. I'm not trying 355 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: to saying that we need to abandon civil liberties, but 356 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 3: good grief with the modern practices that we're now engaged in, 357 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: with the modern practices that we're allowing to occur, and 358 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: with liberal Democrats absolutely allowing these things to take place. 359 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: And if you think that I'm being partisan, here go 360 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: look at Denver. Go look at you know. I've challenged 361 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: my earlier audience. I want to challenge this audience too. 362 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: You drive through Denver, but all you do is you 363 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: just kind of, you know, you glance over and you 364 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 3: see the mountains, or you see the skyline, or you're 365 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: busy focus on the traffic in front of you, and 366 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 3: then you pull off the interstate and you try to 367 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 3: drive through a neighborhood or you try to get downtown 368 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 3: to your business meeting, and whatever you're doing, stop it 369 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: and really observe, observe your surroundings. Do that situational awareness 370 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 3: she referred to, and you'll realize we're allowing the entire country, 371 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 3: in many particularly in the urban areas, not so much 372 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 3: in the rural areas, but particularly in the urban areas, 373 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 3: to become just gigantic broken windows. That signals to anybody 374 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: that has any proclivity towards crime, And in fact, you 375 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: don't even have to have that proclivity toward crime, because 376 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: the original nineteen sixty nine experiment shows that even in 377 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: a place like Silicon Valley in Palo Alto, all it 378 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 3: takes is for the abandoned car to sit there for 379 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: a week. Hood's open. People just think, oh, somebody's you know, 380 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 3: somebody's gonna eventually come and get their car. But no, 381 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: you take a sledgehammer to it, you break a couple 382 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 3: of windows, and it's just like, have you ever seen 383 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: an animal. If you've never seen an animal die in 384 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 3: the wild, or you've come across an animal that has 385 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 3: recently died like within the past, you know, thirty minutes, 386 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 3: you'll see that suddenly all the insects and worms and 387 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 3: everything begin to just consume that that body, that animal. 388 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 3: The same is true here when you see the broken window, 389 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 3: when you see that there is this absence of enforcement, 390 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: all those insects come out, even the decent insects realize, oh, 391 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 3: there's no accountability case. 392 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 2: Surrah sarrah. 393 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 3: The theory is still today a touch tone in urban 394 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 3: policy because it links the mundane esthetics of public space 395 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 3: to the psychology of rule following and the sociology of 396 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: community control. 397 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: And we've completely given up on that. 398 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 4: Good morning, Michael and Dragons. 399 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: This is your favorite Jew Guber. Hey, Mike was nice, senior, Yes, 400 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: Ray been good. Yes, Here's here's a story. 401 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 5: Me and my synagogue sometimes we go out and we 402 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 5: give out Israeli flags as long as lake and so 403 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 5: people like when one person takes a flag, that a 404 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 5: person after them takes a flag, and that person after 405 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: them takes a flag, and then when one person doesn't 406 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: take a flag, then the person behind them maybe sees 407 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 5: it and they will not take a flag. 408 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: So it would give the Israeli flags to a person 409 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 4: like a person behind her if they see him or 410 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 4: her take the flag, they were also most likely they 411 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 4: will repeat that same thing. And if they don't take 412 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,959 Speaker 4: the flag, then the person behind them will also repeat 413 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 4: that as well. I mean it's not one hundred percent, 414 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 4: but it's a good ninety percent of people that do that, 415 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 4: they see but one person does it, and they do it, 416 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 4: and they just follow. 417 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: They have no mind of their own. 418 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 3: It's basically human behavior. By the way, let me remind 419 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 3: everybody the text line for this program is three three 420 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: one zero three. Keyword Mike or Michael. I don't read 421 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 3: the other text line. Guys, if you want to tell 422 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 3: me something three three one zero three three, I only 423 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: know that you've done it because Dragons. 424 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 2: Told me that. 425 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: Somebody says I just make you dumber. Well, why don't 426 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 3: you tell me that it's so I can make fun 427 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 3: of it. Tell me that at three three one. 428 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: Zero three, you don't even have access to the other line. 429 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 3: So so if you want to tell me that I 430 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: make you dumber, tell me three three one zero three. 431 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 3: So here's what I can't find the sound bite. It's unavailable. 432 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: Fox hasn't posted it, our clipping surface doesn't have it. 433 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: But Paul Merrow was on America's newsroom this morning as 434 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 3: I was driving in and he was. They were talking 435 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 3: about crime stats, but he happened to talk about the 436 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 3: subway system in New York City, which, by the way, 437 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 3: I'm proud to say that if all the thousands of 438 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: times I've been in New York, I am I am 439 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: going to die having never written the New York City subway. Oh, 440 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 3: I've written the subways in Paris, the Tube in London, 441 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 3: I've written the subways all the here on DC, all 442 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: over the world, but not New York City. And now 443 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: I'm never going to But Paul described how that his 444 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 3: wife has as an example, was a starving artist or 445 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: maybe a you know, a striving actress or something, and 446 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: she would take jobs that would cause her to not 447 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 3: get off work until say midnight or after and she 448 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: would ride the subway back when they were young. He 449 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: says that does not happen today, and that women will 450 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 3: not take a job that requires them to work after, say, 451 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: anywhere from eleven to eleven PM to two am, because 452 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 3: they find the subway so incredibly dangerous, broken windows, because 453 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 3: there's no law enforcement. So therefore there's a cascading effect. 454 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 3: Because businesses can't find workers, particularly females, to serve, you know, 455 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 3: in a club or in a nightclub of some sort, 456 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 3: or as a white person, they end up closing their doors. 457 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 3: They either go out of business or they cut back 458 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 3: on their hours because they can't find workers, and they 459 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 3: can't find workers because these people aren't riding the subway, 460 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: and then he went on to describe how bad the 461 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 3: crime is on the subway. It is the perfect example, 462 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 3: going all the way back to nineteen sixty nine to 463 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty two to twenty twenty five, how broken windows 464 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 3: theory is alive and well, and it is the degradation 465 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 3: of American society. We are slowly but consistently becoming a 466 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 3: third world country. And it's the broken windows theory because 467 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 3: we keep liberals, in particular, keep electing these dumbass judges 468 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 3: and these really horrific prosecutors that will not enforce the law. 469 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: And then we elect mayors that decide that, oh, a 470 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 3: bike path is more important than making certain that, oh 471 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: that we have bridges that can actually carry fire trucks, 472 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 3: because in Denver, fire response time has been the intended 473 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: is longer in some areas because the fire trucks can't 474 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: cross the bridge just because they're so outdated and they're 475 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: too dangerous for the fire trucks to cross. Broken windows. 476 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: Why are we spending money on homelessness, illegal aliens, free this, 477 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: and free that, when instead we should be focusing on 478 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 3: the very basic functions that government is supposed to provide 479 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 3: and for which you pay taxes, and for our services 480 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: we're not getting. You can take this broken windows theory 481 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 3: and you can apply it to almost every aspect of 482 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 3: our current political situation. And the latest example of Chicago 483 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: and somebody pouring gas on a woman. So we've had 484 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 3: a woman whose throat's been slipped, she dies right there. 485 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 3: Now we have a woman that has been doused with gasoline, 486 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: lit with a cigarette lighter, and everybody stands around and watches. 487 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: You need to play through your mind what you would 488 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 3: do in that situation. It's not theoretical, it's I want 489 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 3: you to actually play through in your mind what would 490 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 3: you do, because if you're going to stand around, you 491 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: might be part of the problem.
