4
00:00:21,817 --> 00:00:25,737
Speaker 1: On Thursday, August fourth edition of the program, we have

5
00:00:25,897 --> 00:00:29,697
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams of New York City saying that the criminal

6
00:00:29,777 --> 00:00:34,697
Speaker 1: justice system here is broken and dropping a whole bunch

7
00:00:34,737 --> 00:00:39,577
Speaker 1: of stats and anecdotes about just how messed up it is,

8
00:00:39,977 --> 00:00:43,777
Speaker 1: specifically with respect to recidivism, as in people that commit

9
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:46,257
Speaker 1: crimes and then commit them again and again and again

10
00:00:47,017 --> 00:00:50,377
Speaker 1: and don't get punished. Why we will dive into that.

11
00:00:50,897 --> 00:00:54,257
Speaker 1: Plus the hearings up on Capitol Hill about gain of

12
00:00:54,337 --> 00:01:00,017
Speaker 1: function research with some pretty scary possibilities coming out of

13
00:01:00,057 --> 00:01:03,977
Speaker 1: it given what we've seen from the COVID pandemic. Worth

14
00:01:04,017 --> 00:01:06,977
Speaker 1: asking one, did this in fact come from a lab

15
00:01:06,977 --> 00:01:08,617
Speaker 1: because it looks like it came from a lab? And

16
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:12,177
Speaker 1: two could it be a lot worse in the future

17
00:01:12,257 --> 00:01:17,097
Speaker 1: unless we stop this stuff. We will dive into that,

18
00:01:17,217 --> 00:01:20,657
Speaker 1: my friends, much much makes sense sense of. And then

19
00:01:20,657 --> 00:01:24,617
Speaker 1: perhaps a little bit on the reconciliation bill that will

20
00:01:24,657 --> 00:01:29,977
Speaker 1: now allegedly get past with the help of Kristen Cinema

21
00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:33,057
Speaker 1: and some changes she is thinking about. We'll see what's

22
00:01:33,137 --> 00:01:35,377

00:03:28,097 --> 00:03:33,417
Speaker 1: estate investor. I have been saying stuff about the criminal

65
00:03:33,457 --> 00:03:37,537
Speaker 1: justice system in the era of progressive prosecutors. And I've

66
00:03:37,537 --> 00:03:40,777
Speaker 1: been talking to you all about what has happened as

67
00:03:40,777 --> 00:03:46,097
Speaker 1: a result of their decisions, what has happened in major

68
00:03:46,137 --> 00:03:48,657
Speaker 1: cities and now even towns and royal areas across the

69
00:03:48,697 --> 00:03:52,337
Speaker 1: country that are under the control of these progressive prosecutors

70
00:03:52,537 --> 00:03:55,217
Speaker 1: for a long time. And everything I told you has

71
00:03:55,217 --> 00:03:59,417
Speaker 1: been proven correct true. And now even the Libs the

72
00:03:59,497 --> 00:04:03,937
Speaker 1: Democrats are having to admit this in some places, not everywhere.

73
00:04:03,937 --> 00:04:06,017
Speaker 1: They're still fighting against it. You're gonna find someone, you know,

74
00:04:06,297 --> 00:04:10,377
Speaker 1: former public defender, part of the Soros Institute, who says, oh,

75
00:04:10,457 --> 00:04:12,217
Speaker 1: it's just we need to deal with all the racism

76
00:04:12,217 --> 00:04:14,297
Speaker 1: and the criminal justice system, so let's just let people

77
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:16,657
Speaker 1: out of prison and not prosecute them in the first place.

78
00:04:16,737 --> 00:04:19,617
Speaker 1: That's not that's not addressing root causes of racism. That's

79
00:04:19,617 --> 00:04:24,177
Speaker 1: just undermining the law. That's all that is. Mayor Eric Adams,

80
00:04:24,217 --> 00:04:30,137
Speaker 1: the African American mayor of New York City, has adopted

81
00:04:30,177 --> 00:04:33,177
Speaker 1: a very clear tone of we need to knock this

82
00:04:33,857 --> 00:04:38,377
Speaker 1: crap off, We need to stop this in America's largest city.

83
00:04:38,617 --> 00:04:42,817
Speaker 1: And you could have this same conversation in any blue

84
00:04:42,857 --> 00:04:45,537
Speaker 1: state in the country, any city, really in the country

85
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:50,297
Speaker 1: with only a few exceptions where there's a progressive prosecutor.

86
00:04:50,337 --> 00:04:54,217
Speaker 1: You have this problem where there's a progressive prosecutor, it's

87
00:04:54,737 --> 00:04:56,377
Speaker 1: an issue you have to handle. Here's some of the

88
00:04:56,377 --> 00:04:59,097
Speaker 1: stuff that that Adams is saying. This is from a

89
00:04:59,137 --> 00:05:01,777
Speaker 1: press conference that they did in this actually here we

90
00:05:01,777 --> 00:05:05,457
Speaker 1: actually have some of this. Here's Eric Adams saying that

91
00:05:05,537 --> 00:05:10,417
Speaker 1: the criminal justice system is broken. Our criminal justice system

92
00:05:10,617 --> 00:05:14,817
Speaker 1: is insane, it is dangerous, it is harmful, and it's

93
00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:19,297
Speaker 1: destroying the fabric of our city. Under the current law,

94
00:05:19,857 --> 00:05:22,897
Speaker 1: judges are not allowed to consider whether someone is a

95
00:05:22,977 --> 00:05:28,177
Speaker 1: threat to public safety when deciding whether or not to

96
00:05:28,377 --> 00:05:33,137
Speaker 1: hold them in custody. This is a big mistake. As

97
00:05:33,137 --> 00:05:38,537
Speaker 1: a result of this insane broken system, our recidivism rates

98
00:05:38,977 --> 00:05:47,537
Speaker 1: have skyrocketed. Recidivism has skyrocketed. Now, this is completely contrary.

99
00:05:48,057 --> 00:05:51,457
Speaker 1: The promise is made by the sorost progressive prosecutor types

100
00:05:52,417 --> 00:05:57,617
Speaker 1: San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta,

101
00:05:57,777 --> 00:06:05,337
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Houston. Go down the list, Go down the list, Milwaukee, Detroit,

102
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:09,817
Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors in all these places. Soros, it took him

103
00:06:09,897 --> 00:06:14,257
Speaker 1: year seeded these progressive prosecutors everywhere, and the crime rates

104
00:06:14,257 --> 00:06:16,377
Speaker 1: are way up, and the murder rates are way up,

105
00:06:16,937 --> 00:06:20,377
Speaker 1: not you know, five percent, they're up thirty percent, fifty percent,

106
00:06:20,937 --> 00:06:24,457
Speaker 1: depends on the category you're talking about. And speaking of

107
00:06:24,497 --> 00:06:26,657
Speaker 1: the numbers, let's dive into the numbers here in New

108
00:06:26,737 --> 00:06:29,737
Speaker 1: York City for a second. Mayor Adam said this, He said,

109
00:06:29,777 --> 00:06:31,937
Speaker 1: let's look at the real numbers. In twenty twenty two,

110
00:06:32,857 --> 00:06:37,217
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the roughly fifteen hundred people arrested

111
00:06:37,257 --> 00:06:43,817
Speaker 1: for burglary committed another felony within sixty days. That's three

112
00:06:43,897 --> 00:06:45,937
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety three people who did the same thing

113
00:06:46,217 --> 00:06:50,577
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, before the changes in the law, before

114
00:06:50,577 --> 00:06:54,217
Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutors came along and got their way, seven

115
00:06:54,297 --> 00:06:58,457
Speaker 1: point seven percent went on to commit another crime. For

116
00:06:58,497 --> 00:07:02,337
Speaker 1: grand larceny. In twenty twenty two, the sixty day recidivism

117
00:07:02,417 --> 00:07:05,817
Speaker 1: rate was sixteen point eight percent three hundred and ten people,

118
00:07:05,857 --> 00:07:12,817
Speaker 1: compared with six point five percent in twenty seventeen. So

119
00:07:12,937 --> 00:07:17,657
Speaker 1: you have for cidivism rates tripling, quadrupling just a matter

120
00:07:17,697 --> 00:07:21,337
Speaker 1: of years. Why is that happening. It's not because of COVID,

121
00:07:21,737 --> 00:07:26,217
Speaker 1: it's not because of you know, whatever, they're gonna throw

122
00:07:26,337 --> 00:07:29,417
Speaker 1: your way with Oh, you know, it's it's just the

123
00:07:29,537 --> 00:07:33,257
Speaker 1: system is having it. No, they change the system, and

124
00:07:33,337 --> 00:07:35,537
Speaker 1: they made it worse, and they made it so that

125
00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:42,377
Speaker 1: we aren't as safe as we were before. Mayor Adams

126
00:07:42,537 --> 00:07:46,857
Speaker 1: keeps going here. Actually no, this is Chief Michael la Petri,

127
00:07:48,417 --> 00:07:51,497
Speaker 1: Crime Control Strategies, Chief of the Police Department, the NYPD.

128
00:07:51,617 --> 00:07:55,057
Speaker 1: He said, in New York City, we have identified seven

129
00:07:55,177 --> 00:08:00,617
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen individuals who are responsible for thirty percent

130
00:08:00,777 --> 00:08:06,537
Speaker 1: of the shootings in the last year or so. We're

131
00:08:06,577 --> 00:08:10,537
Speaker 1: a city in New York of eight million people. You

132
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:14,817
Speaker 1: have seven hundred people, give or take, who are responsible

133
00:08:15,417 --> 00:08:19,937
Speaker 1: for a third of the shootings. I mean you could

134
00:08:19,937 --> 00:08:24,817
Speaker 1: you could fit all these people in, you know, a

135
00:08:24,937 --> 00:08:27,737
Speaker 1: high school gymnasium. I mean, this is not a lot

136
00:08:27,777 --> 00:08:31,617
Speaker 1: of people friends her committing third. I know there there's

137
00:08:31,617 --> 00:08:33,377
Speaker 1: other people that are commiting shootings too, but just give

138
00:08:33,417 --> 00:08:37,257
Speaker 1: you a sense of how concentrated crime really is. There

139
00:08:37,297 --> 00:08:40,537
Speaker 1: were twenty four hundred shooting incidents in New York City,

140
00:08:41,137 --> 00:08:43,777
Speaker 1: and seven hundred and sixteen people have been responsible for

141
00:08:43,897 --> 00:08:48,537
Speaker 1: thirty percent of those shootings. Each of the envision individuals

142
00:08:48,577 --> 00:08:54,377
Speaker 1: are under investigation. He says, each one already have I'm sorry,

143
00:08:54,377 --> 00:08:57,497
Speaker 1: fifty four percent of them already have a felony record.

144
00:08:58,617 --> 00:09:01,617
Speaker 1: So point zero zero eight percent of the New York

145
00:09:01,657 --> 00:09:05,977
Speaker 1: City population is responsible for thirty percent of the shootings.

146
00:09:06,057 --> 00:09:09,537
Speaker 1: What do I keep saying? They say, Oh, the criminal

147
00:09:09,577 --> 00:09:12,897
Speaker 1: justices him as racist. It's racist. So and then there's

148
00:09:12,897 --> 00:09:16,017
Speaker 1: all these all these shootings are happening, and they say

149
00:09:16,057 --> 00:09:19,337
Speaker 1: it's racist because there's a disproportionate number of individuals who

150
00:09:19,377 --> 00:09:24,017
Speaker 1: are arrested for serious crimes who are black and Hispanic. However,

151
00:09:24,177 --> 00:09:27,377
Speaker 1: what they leave out of all of this is that

152
00:09:28,337 --> 00:09:32,457
Speaker 1: what about the ninety nine you know, ninety nine point

153
00:09:32,857 --> 00:09:35,057
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I can't even do the math percent

154
00:09:35,217 --> 00:09:38,297
Speaker 1: of black and Hispanic people in New York who aren't

155
00:09:38,297 --> 00:09:40,897
Speaker 1: committing any crimes and just want to live their lives

156
00:09:40,937 --> 00:09:44,417
Speaker 1: in safety. How about them? How about we focus more

157
00:09:44,577 --> 00:09:46,977
Speaker 1: on their needs? How about we focus more on the

158
00:09:47,097 --> 00:09:49,977
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of black residents and Hispanic residents of

159
00:09:49,977 --> 00:09:54,297
Speaker 1: New York who are law abiding and worry less about

160
00:09:54,377 --> 00:09:57,457
Speaker 1: hurting the feelings of the less than one percent who

161
00:09:57,457 --> 00:10:00,897
Speaker 1: are committing a huge percentage of the overall violent crime

162
00:10:01,257 --> 00:10:05,057
Speaker 1: in the entire city. I mean, think about what's going

163
00:10:05,097 --> 00:10:08,097
Speaker 1: on here. You've got thousands and thousands of burglaries and

164
00:10:08,177 --> 00:10:12,337
Speaker 1: robberies and homicides and all these things together. How many

165
00:10:12,337 --> 00:10:17,497
Speaker 1: people are really committing them in the whole city? Ten

166
00:10:17,537 --> 00:10:20,817
Speaker 1: thousand committing a huge percentage of them, maybe twenty thirty

167
00:10:20,817 --> 00:10:24,737
Speaker 1: thousand who are committing most of the really violent crimes,

168
00:10:24,817 --> 00:10:26,617
Speaker 1: and rose are the really serious crimes, I should say,

169
00:10:26,617 --> 00:10:31,257
Speaker 1: serious property crimes. Maybe here's an idea. We just focus

170
00:10:31,337 --> 00:10:36,137
Speaker 1: on taking them off the streets, incarcerating them, and making

171
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:38,977
Speaker 1: life safer for the ninety nine percent of everybody else,

172
00:10:39,017 --> 00:10:42,137
Speaker 1: including the ninety nine percent of minorities of black and

173
00:10:42,217 --> 00:10:44,577
Speaker 1: Hispanic residence in the city of New York, who aren't

174
00:10:44,617 --> 00:10:46,617
Speaker 1: hurting anybody and who are obeying the laws and want

175
00:10:46,657 --> 00:10:48,537
Speaker 1: to live their lives in peace. It's just an idea,

176
00:10:48,617 --> 00:10:52,897
Speaker 1: lives right. This is what the progressive prosecutors. Oh, they whine,

177
00:10:52,977 --> 00:10:54,977
Speaker 1: They say, oh, but what about this. They find some

178
00:10:55,057 --> 00:10:59,577
Speaker 1: case of somebody who you know, it was murky circumstances,

179
00:10:59,697 --> 00:11:02,137
Speaker 1: three strike law, and everyone feels badly about it. Yeah,

180
00:11:02,137 --> 00:11:05,017
Speaker 1: there is good. It's not a perfect system, and where

181
00:11:05,017 --> 00:11:07,857
Speaker 1: there is true injustice on an individual basis, we should

182
00:11:07,857 --> 00:11:10,977
Speaker 1: rectify that, but you don't rerect if I injustice, but

183
00:11:11,097 --> 00:11:14,457
Speaker 1: just singer. This guy's only done three armed robberies. I

184
00:11:14,497 --> 00:11:16,977
Speaker 1: don't think he's going for it. He's only done fifteen burglaries.

185
00:11:16,977 --> 00:11:20,337
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going for number sixteen. You know,

186
00:11:20,417 --> 00:11:23,817
Speaker 1: he's stealing from people in his community. You know who's

187
00:11:23,857 --> 00:11:27,857
Speaker 1: suffering from this, low income people who are trying to

188
00:11:27,897 --> 00:11:30,857
Speaker 1: do the right thing every day. They're the ones being victimized.

189
00:11:30,977 --> 00:11:33,857
Speaker 1: They're the ones being attacked, having things stolen from them.

190
00:11:34,497 --> 00:11:38,137
Speaker 1: But people like Nancy Pelosi or the police, you can't

191
00:11:38,177 --> 00:11:41,697
Speaker 1: trust the police from her mansion. She's such a fraud.

192
00:11:42,617 --> 00:11:45,817
Speaker 1: CNN anchors, Oh BLM. I really support BLM and I

193
00:11:45,857 --> 00:11:48,377
Speaker 1: live in a seven million dollars co op in New

194
00:11:48,457 --> 00:11:54,097
Speaker 1: York City, But oh BLM, such frauds. They're such frauds.

195
00:11:54,137 --> 00:11:56,497
Speaker 1: Can't we all see it? And may Or Adams even

196
00:11:56,537 --> 00:11:58,817
Speaker 1: he's got to be tired of these idiots. He's saying

197
00:11:58,857 --> 00:12:01,657
Speaker 1: the right things right now. You see. I always tell

198
00:12:01,697 --> 00:12:03,857
Speaker 1: you this, I give credit where it's due. Adams has

199
00:12:03,897 --> 00:12:05,777
Speaker 1: not done a good job so far in terms of

200
00:12:05,817 --> 00:12:10,417
Speaker 1: the numbers, but he is saying the right things now.

201
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:13,657
Speaker 1: And we need other Democrats to say the right things

202
00:12:13,697 --> 00:12:17,017
Speaker 1: and follow it with action. Hopefully Adams follows it with action.

203
00:12:17,377 --> 00:12:20,457
Speaker 1: Is this would be major, all right? And there was

204
00:12:20,457 --> 00:12:24,097
Speaker 1: the Gain of function hearings up on Capitol Hill just

205
00:12:24,137 --> 00:12:26,577
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes on this. I mean, here's MIT

206
00:12:26,697 --> 00:12:30,617
Speaker 1: professor Kevin, doctor Kevin s Velt, MT is pretty serious

207
00:12:30,657 --> 00:12:34,577
Speaker 1: place on gain of function studies and the security risks

208
00:12:34,577 --> 00:12:37,657
Speaker 1: from them. The question is, if they were not intending

209
00:12:37,697 --> 00:12:41,897
Speaker 1: to determine whether a novel recombinant event between these coronaviruses

210
00:12:42,337 --> 00:12:45,417
Speaker 1: could lead to something that might kill millions of people,

211
00:12:46,017 --> 00:12:48,257
Speaker 1: then why were they doing it? If there was no

212
00:12:48,337 --> 00:12:50,057
Speaker 1: chance that it would come up with a result that

213
00:12:50,137 --> 00:12:53,177
Speaker 1: looked like it was more dangerous, what's the point? What's

214
00:12:53,177 --> 00:12:58,097
Speaker 1: the scientific hypothesis? So again, whatever you call it, what

215
00:12:58,137 --> 00:13:02,457
Speaker 1: they were trying to do was identify a biological agent

216
00:13:03,097 --> 00:13:06,857
Speaker 1: that has a good chance of being able to kill

217
00:13:06,897 --> 00:13:10,497
Speaker 1: millions of people if released. And they shared to the

218
00:13:10,577 --> 00:13:13,257
Speaker 1: description of what they did, and they shared the genome

219
00:13:13,257 --> 00:13:16,017
Speaker 1: sequence because they thought that this would make us safer,

220
00:13:16,457 --> 00:13:19,737
Speaker 1: because they think that knowing which viruses in nature might

221
00:13:19,817 --> 00:13:23,337
Speaker 1: cause pandemics makes us safer. They did not consider the

222
00:13:23,377 --> 00:13:27,937
Speaker 1: security risks. Seems like kind of a big deal, doesn't it.

223
00:13:29,217 --> 00:13:32,017
Speaker 1: They figured, hey, let's just mess around with a virus

224
00:13:32,377 --> 00:13:35,257
Speaker 1: and gain a function research at places like the Wuhan

225
00:13:35,377 --> 00:13:40,137
Speaker 1: Institute of Virology with American taxpayer funding in part, not

226
00:13:40,217 --> 00:13:44,657
Speaker 1: all of it, but in part. They just figured, well,

227
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,577
Speaker 1: this will be a good thing for science to know.

228
00:13:46,777 --> 00:13:48,617
Speaker 1: So they started tinkering with viruses to see if they

229
00:13:48,617 --> 00:13:50,057
Speaker 1: can make them more dangerous so then they can put

230
00:13:50,057 --> 00:13:53,817
Speaker 1: them more dangerous virus information out there so that we

231
00:13:53,817 --> 00:13:57,057
Speaker 1: would be prepared in advance. Well, what happens if the

232
00:13:57,097 --> 00:14:01,897
Speaker 1: virus gets out? Though? What happens if you create the problem?

233
00:14:01,937 --> 00:14:06,297
Speaker 1: You think you're averting by getting ahead of it? Yeah,

234
00:14:06,857 --> 00:14:12,697
Speaker 1: pretty serious. This MIT professor went on here play clip two.

235
00:14:12,817 --> 00:14:17,537
Speaker 1: And it's worth noting that both USAID and NIH funded

236
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:22,857
Speaker 1: those particular coronavirus chimera studies. USAID, to my understanding, has

237
00:14:22,897 --> 00:14:26,857
Speaker 1: since disavowed those chimeric recommindation studies and announced that they

238
00:14:26,857 --> 00:14:31,337
Speaker 1: will only focus on finding natural pandemic capable viruses, which

239
00:14:31,377 --> 00:14:34,537
Speaker 1: is at least a step in the right direction. But again,

240
00:14:35,137 --> 00:14:38,177
Speaker 1: I would call that gain a function. Another reasonable scientists

241
00:14:38,217 --> 00:14:40,617
Speaker 1: would say, no, that's not gain a function, because the

242
00:14:40,697 --> 00:14:44,697
Speaker 1: term is so ill defined. Yeah, because the term is

243
00:14:44,697 --> 00:14:46,857
Speaker 1: ill defined. Do you think maybe the bureaucracy was playing

244
00:14:47,737 --> 00:14:51,737
Speaker 1: playing games here? I do. Do you think they decided

245
00:14:51,777 --> 00:14:55,737
Speaker 1: they could get away with this? I do. Here's just

246
00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:59,057
Speaker 1: one more on the possibility of these becoming WMDs. Here's

247
00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:04,257
Speaker 1: Rutger's professor Ebright talking to Josh Holley about gain of

248
00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:06,697
Speaker 1: function research of the kind that you know doctor Fauci

249
00:15:06,817 --> 00:15:10,977
Speaker 1: through cutouts was helping to fund in China function research

250
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:13,897
Speaker 1: and bioweapons. What's the connection there? I mean, what role

251
00:15:13,937 --> 00:15:16,697
Speaker 1: does gain a function play? As I mentioned, there are

252
00:15:16,697 --> 00:15:21,417
Speaker 1: no civilian practical applications that are immense bioweapons practical applications,

253
00:15:21,977 --> 00:15:25,937
Speaker 1: as you've heard from doctor Spelt. The potential pandemic pathogens

254
00:15:25,977 --> 00:15:30,257
Speaker 1: that can emerge from such studies are potential weapons of

255
00:15:30,257 --> 00:15:36,577
Speaker 1: mass destruction, inexpensive, accessible, easily distributed weapons of mass destruction,

256
00:15:38,177 --> 00:15:41,977
Speaker 1: potential WMDs, the kind that would hit all over the

257
00:15:42,017 --> 00:15:45,297
Speaker 1: world and kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people.

258
00:15:46,217 --> 00:15:48,057
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have had more of a discussion about

259
00:15:48,057 --> 00:15:50,737
Speaker 1: whether this should be something that anyone, anywhere, in any

260
00:15:50,777 --> 00:15:54,017
Speaker 1: facility should be engaged in as research. A lot of

261
00:15:54,017 --> 00:15:56,697
Speaker 1: people look in this though, and saying maybe, at least

262
00:15:56,697 --> 00:16:00,417
Speaker 1: in this instance, it's too late. Thanks for rolling with team.

263
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:02,057
