Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio act or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. What has to be done
Speaker 1: for defenseless young women in America to be safe on
Speaker 1: our streets, to be safe on our mass transportation in cities. Well,
Speaker 1: IRENA's Law maybe a start. Before I get to IRENA's Law.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm thinking about this is that law, of course,
Speaker 1: but also this violent assault against this NYU student, Amelia Lewis.
Speaker 1: She was walking down This is New York City. She
Speaker 1: was walking down Broadway in New York. This is one
Speaker 1: of the busiest streets in the world, one of the
Speaker 1: most famous streets in the world, one of the busiest
Speaker 1: streets in the world. Nine thirty am on a Monday when,
Speaker 1: and it's all on videos you can see it. Some
Speaker 1: maniac comes up. It's a white guy, long hair and beard,
Speaker 1: comes up behind her, whacks her from behind, like kind
Speaker 1: of on the on the butt as hard but as
Speaker 1: hard as he can, and then grabs her by the
Speaker 1: hair and pulls her to the ground. This is in
Speaker 1: broad daylight. People everywhere, and no one does anything. You know,
Speaker 1: there's there's a few things going. And first of all,
Speaker 1: why does this hit home so much? Well, because it
Speaker 1: turns out, does anyone again? Does anyone a guess? Is
Speaker 1: this the first time? Was this guy just having a
Speaker 1: bad day? Is this the first time that this lunatic
Speaker 1: attacking woman? Now he's wanted on multiple previous assaults of
Speaker 1: women things just like this. And I'm sure we could
Speaker 1: get some ACLU attorney that tells us, Oh, but he's
Speaker 1: really good at, you know, finger painting, and we shouldn't
Speaker 1: lock him up. He's got a bright future if only
Speaker 1: we understood him better or whatever. But this is a
Speaker 1: guy who who does not deserve to be walking freely
Speaker 1: in society. And it's cruelty to victims. It's cruelty to
Speaker 1: young women like this, this slender NYU female co ed
Speaker 1: who's walking down the streets. It's cruelty to them to
Speaker 1: subject them to this kind of risk because the state
Speaker 1: makes it. The state made a decision New York City
Speaker 1: in this case, big s state or little less state depends.
Speaker 1: But New York City made a decision here that they
Speaker 1: were going to let this individual roam the streets because
Speaker 1: he had had multiple contacts with law enforcement. He was
Speaker 1: wanted on other things, but they kept letting him out.
Speaker 1: You let him out, you let them out. And you know,
Speaker 1: I understand in this case, the girl is she's really
Speaker 1: shaken up. I mean, she put out a video on
Speaker 1: social media about.
Speaker 2: This right before it all happened. So I circled where
Speaker 2: I'm walking. I just crossed the street and I'm walking
Speaker 2: down the right side of Broadway, and then you can
Speaker 2: see that he literally followed me across the street and
Speaker 2: that's him right there, and he literally targets me and
Speaker 2: approaches me and does this.
Speaker 1: She's very shaken up. She's upset, understandably, and people might say, well,
Speaker 1: you know she's okay, no serious injury. Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know this guy, let's say he pulled her, she fell
Speaker 1: and hit her head and went slipped into a coma
Speaker 1: and died. That kind of thing has happened. Even something
Speaker 1: as straightforward as shoving, somebody can believe it or not,
Speaker 1: can kill someone because they can fall back, hit their head, hemorrhage,
Speaker 1: and they can die. That happens. And so what you
Speaker 1: see is we have a society now, we have an
Speaker 1: America where, because of leftist ideology, when it comes to
Speaker 1: criminal justice, let's be clear. This guy in this case.
Speaker 1: Often this is there's a racial element to this. Insofar
Speaker 1: as Democrats are uncomfortable with how many black people in
Speaker 1: America per capita are in prison for violent crimes, that's there.
Speaker 1: They think that there must be something wrong with the system.
Speaker 1: The other side of the argument is it is what
Speaker 1: it is. You break the law, you hurt people, you
Speaker 1: go to prison, and you know if they are far
Speaker 1: fewer Amish than African Americans in prison per capita per capita,
Speaker 1: very important. That's just the way it is. We have
Speaker 1: to have law, we have to have order, we have
Speaker 1: to have people protected from violent crime on the streets.
Speaker 1: But in this case, it's a white guy who did it.
Speaker 1: And I'm making the same argument because he was arrested
Speaker 1: multiple times, because it's actually not about race at all.
Speaker 1: The race is irrelevant. Race should be irrelevant to the
Speaker 1: prosecution of criminal justice cases. It's do you break the law?
Speaker 1: Are you a threat to public safety? Are you a
Speaker 1: repeat offender? Are you at danger to others? You look
Speaker 1: at that and if the answers are yes, you go
Speaker 1: away to a cell. It is very kind of us
Speaker 1: as a society. There are other places and other times
Speaker 1: in not distant path and not the distant past, America
Speaker 1: among them, but other countries as well, where you did
Speaker 1: something like this and they just let mean, they just
Speaker 1: execute you. Now, we give people health care and food
Speaker 1: and a safe you know, and warm place to sleep
Speaker 1: and live, but we get them out of the general
Speaker 1: population because they're a risk to people in the general population.
Speaker 1: And this is where we just have to have an
Speaker 1: end to this madness, which will bring me to IRENA's
Speaker 1: law here in a second. But our sponsor is Paradigm Press. Look,
Speaker 1: I think that we are entering at once in a
Speaker 1: century opportunity for mainStreet investors. This AI stuff is real.
Speaker 1: The world is changing very quickly, and politics and markets
Speaker 1: have this effect on each other that you have to
Speaker 1: understand to be a savvy investor. This is why I've
Speaker 1: launched a new e newsletter called Money and Power, which
Speaker 1: I hope you'll subscribe to our portfolio, which we publish.
Speaker 1: It's this is now out there. People say portfolio has
Speaker 1: done amazingly well this year of suggested investments that we have,
Speaker 1: and that's just a fact. And we are pulling the
Speaker 1: big stories out of politics in DC and applying it
Speaker 1: to big moves in the markets, and so far it's
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. I explain all the details of this, in
Speaker 1: fact something that I'm calling Manhattan too, but it meant
Speaker 1: like Manhattan Project too, not Manhattan so much the city.
Speaker 1: I explain all these details in an interview that is
Speaker 1: available for you to go watch. Go to offair twenty
Speaker 1: five dot com to watch it. That's off Air twentyfive
Speaker 1: dot com, paid for by Paradigm Press. Now, IRENA's law,
Speaker 1: it went into effect today in North Carolina. And now
Speaker 1: remember Irena was and we you know, you have this
Speaker 1: video of it, which I think that one of the
Speaker 1: big changes. As you know, I've been popularizing this for
Speaker 1: a while, this idea that body cameras ended BLM. Essentially
Speaker 1: that the BLM movement now they said, oh, we need
Speaker 1: more body cameras on more cops. We can see all
Speaker 1: the racism and all the excessive force. And a lot
Speaker 1: of people say some of these cops should use more force.
Speaker 1: Some of these cops are too slow to draw their
Speaker 1: weapon actually, and I understand why they don't want to
Speaker 1: get sued. They don't want to go to prison. But
Speaker 1: body cams have changed the whole game. Surveillance cameras as well,
Speaker 1: just in public places, show us the kinds of things
Speaker 1: that are happening in this country far too often, and
Speaker 1: who the perpetrators are, and so we're very aware of
Speaker 1: the reality. People can say what they want about it,
Speaker 1: but because of surveillance cameras which are omnipresent now in
Speaker 1: public places, we are very aware of what's going on,
Speaker 1: and that's why you have And it also makes it visceral,
Speaker 1: makes it more real, makes it more honestly traumatic for
Speaker 1: us because we can see this stuff now. And we
Speaker 1: saw the stabbing of Irena and how vicious it was,
Speaker 1: how I mean, unprovoked is not even the right word
Speaker 1: for it. It's completely out of nowhere. Scirl was doing it,
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this guy, didn't even know
Speaker 1: he was there. He just came up and just stabbed
Speaker 1: her in the neck and she bled out there, and
Speaker 1: for the first few minutes, no one did anything to
Speaker 1: help her, no one even moved. She was white, everybody
Speaker 1: around her was black. No one did a thing to
Speaker 1: help her. We all saw it on the video. I'm
Speaker 1: just describing. I'm describing what we saw on the video.
Speaker 1: It is a description. And if descriptions of reality make
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable. That's too bad, because we choose to live
Speaker 1: not by lies. We choose to live in reality. And
Speaker 1: that also means that we have to be realistic about
Speaker 1: criminal justice laws and the way that they're applied. This's
Speaker 1: why IRENA's law is a step in the right direction.
Speaker 1: It eliminates cashless bail for a whole range of offenses
Speaker 1: and violent offenses. There are certain now conditions for any
Speaker 1: pre trial release, including GPS monitoring, and it's a step
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Let's just see what the let's
Speaker 1: to see how this is actually implemented. But if you
Speaker 1: really hurt somebody without justification, meaning you know, you're not
Speaker 1: justified in self defense or something. If you walk up
Speaker 1: to a woman on the street and punch her in
Speaker 1: the face and break her nose because you're a maniac,
Speaker 1: you should sit in a cell until a judge decides
Speaker 1: that you should go to prison for years. That's the truth.
Speaker 1: That's the country we need to live in. I was
Speaker 1: in Taiwan, as you know, in September and experienced effectively
Speaker 1: a zero crime society. Essentially, there's some crime, but it's
Speaker 1: so little that it can be safely and truly ignored.
Speaker 1: We don't have to live this way. We don't have
Speaker 1: to have maniacs attacking women in the streets, stabbing them
Speaker 1: on the on light rail in North Carolina. We don't
Speaker 1: have to live this way. We just have to have
Speaker 1: the resolve to enforce laws and to have strong enough
Speaker 1: laws and strong enough prosecution that these individuals are removed
Speaker 1: from being the public safety threats that they are. I mean,
Speaker 1: already you have some just some nonsense from some of
Speaker 1: the sheriffs. Remember some I want to North Carolina. I
Speaker 1: bet sheriffs are elected. I got to check and see
Speaker 1: how it is in different states or different counties. But
Speaker 1: you got some sheriffs saying, well, now because of all
Speaker 1: the iceed attentions, now we have to hold people. We
Speaker 1: can't do the iceed attentions, so we're overcrowded and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. This is one of the complaints they have
Speaker 1: about this. And I just say, okay, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna hold rapists and murderers and people that are
Speaker 1: guilty of violent felony assaults longer, we'll figure out the
Speaker 1: other part about ice, we'll get that going too. Just
Speaker 1: hold them, okay, keep them from harming people. Do your job.
Speaker 1: That would be a really nice, a really nice change. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you had some sheriff heres ending in agreement with ICE
Speaker 1: citing resource constraints. You know, it's just remarkable how instead
Speaker 1: of wanting to be the solution, people just always want
Speaker 1: to perpetuate the problem. They want to make things worse somehow.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons for it. It's kind of
Speaker 1: just a loser mentality thing. But anyway, what's going on
Speaker 1: in North Carolina with IRENA's law. This needs to be
Speaker 1: the case in every American state, in every American county
Speaker 1: and city, where if you're a violent offender, there's no
Speaker 1: It's also the other thing to people, Oh what about
Speaker 1: people who are innocent? You know, the last time somebody
Speaker 1: was executed in North Carolina was two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: been almost twenty years since anybody, anybody was executed North Carolina.
Speaker 1: There was Oh, but what about people that are going
Speaker 1: to prison who are innocent. We try to operate at
Speaker 1: the highest levels of truth and accuracy and honesty in
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system, but if perfection is going to
Speaker 1: be the only acceptable outcome, we don't have a criminal
Speaker 1: justice system. We have a fantasy that we're living in
Speaker 1: or that we want to live in. It's never going
Speaker 1: to happen. So just like if you've got to fight
Speaker 1: a war, you do the best you can. You don't
Speaker 1: kill civilians on purpose. But it's not going to be perfect.
Speaker 1: Our criminal justice system is not going to be perfect either.
Speaker 1: And with the lights going off in my face here,
Speaker 1: I will call it, except for our sponsors, preborn Today.
Speaker 1: Behind the news stories getting the headlines in our tension,
Speaker 1: there's an ongoing quiet struggle in the minds of thousands
Speaker 1: of women across the country what to do with an unplanned pregnancy.
Speaker 1: So many things are pushing them toward abortion. But there's
Speaker 1: one organization out there, one group doing everything they can
Speaker 1: to save lives preborn. Preborn clinics are out there to
Speaker 1: save babies lives, and they start this process with a
Speaker 1: free ultrasound to introduce mom to her baby. Over three
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand babies have been saved in this way.
Speaker 1: Please consider a twenty eight dollars a month donation. That's
Speaker 1: the cost of an ultrasound. You could help save a
Speaker 1: life every month this Christmas season. Is there a better
Speaker 1: way to spend your money? Dial pound two five zero,
Speaker 1: say the keyword baby. That's pound two five zero Say
