Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts team. Welcome to the Freedom Hunt. Thursday, June,
Speaker 1: second edition of the program. We have a stunning story
Speaker 1: out of Seattle, the Seattle Times reporting on how that
Speaker 1: city is so understaffed in its police department after it
Speaker 1: lost about a quarter of them in the last couple
Speaker 1: of years. Wonder why that they're unable to assign new
Speaker 1: investigators or rather investigators to new rape allegations in that city.
Speaker 1: Stunning appalling. The breakdown of law enforcements something we have
Speaker 1: to continue to follow here. This comes from bad political
Speaker 1: decisions from the left, from the BLM movement, the undermining
Speaker 1: of our cops. We will discuss that. Plus the baby
Speaker 1: formula crisis continues. When was the Biden administration informed of
Speaker 1: this situation? When was Joe Biden himself told, we have
Speaker 1: that to discuss and they want you to do more
Speaker 1: with less in this country the Biden regime, including water.
Speaker 1: You know on California, they're facing a huge route, just
Speaker 1: a mess, total mess going on here. Will discuss all
Speaker 1: of this coming up here, but let me tell you
Speaker 1: about a little fashion tip. If you're wearing a suit
Speaker 1: or dress clothes every day, you gotta get a pair
Speaker 1: of Wolf and Shepherd dress shoes. These may be the

Speaker 1: E p h e r D Wolf and Shepherd dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, the story is stunning Out of Seattle's from
Speaker 1: the Seattle Times was linked up on foxnews dot com
Speaker 1: today as well. Here's a quote from at Seattle's police
Speaker 1: sexual assault and Child abuse unit, staff has been so
Speaker 1: depleted that it stopped assigning detectives new cases with adult victims.
Speaker 1: According to an internal memo from intern police Chief Adrian
Speaker 1: Diaz from April of this year, the community expects our
Speaker 1: agency to respond to reports of sexual violence, Sergeant Pamela
Speaker 1: Saint John wrote, and at current staffing levels, that objective
Speaker 1: is unattainable. There are now forty eight adult assault cases
Speaker 1: sexual assault cases that are not being investigated, according to
Speaker 1: a detective we spoke the Seattle Times. How did this happen?
Speaker 1: You say? And this is being replicated, has been replicated
Speaker 1: in cities all across the country. You have these massive
Speaker 1: increases in crime over the last two years. Well, what happened?
Speaker 1: The country was forced into a moral panic in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty in the aftermath of the George Floyd incident by
Speaker 1: a Democrat media that decided that we hadn't made the
Speaker 1: kind of progress as a society that maybe we had
Speaker 1: been led to believe unless you know, twenty years, fifty years,
Speaker 1: you name it. No, we were still a deeply racist society,
Speaker 1: most notably that cops were racist and bad and violent
Speaker 1: and killing unarmed black men without consequence systematically doing this.
Speaker 1: All of this was lies. All this was damaging. All
Speaker 1: of this was deeply destructive. And now we see what
Speaker 1: that destruction actually means. It's not just destructive as something
Speaker 1: we say rhetorically. It is destructive because of the end results.
Speaker 1: And some of those results are not just the crime numbers,
Speaker 1: but you see it in the number of police officers.
Speaker 1: Over the last two years, Seattle police have lost a
Speaker 1: fourth of their officers, and in twenty twenty two, the
Speaker 1: city wanted to hire forty new cops. They were able
Speaker 1: to bring in thirteen. Forty three resigned. So they're just
Speaker 1: losing officers, losing officers. Why well, because in an era
Speaker 1: of smartphone technology and a leftist media that loves a
Speaker 1: moral panic, that loves particularly to tell stories about oppressive,
Speaker 1: racist police and indulge in some mass hysteria, white guilt narrative.
Speaker 1: Law enforcement knows that they will not have the proper
Speaker 1: support from the political authorities that oversee law enforcement in
Speaker 1: New York, in Los Angeles, in Seattle and Portland, in Chicago,
Speaker 1: you name it. So why do cops want to deal
Speaker 1: with that? Well, they don't, obviously, and that's why many
Speaker 1: of them are leaving. They've also had tremendous attrition in
Speaker 1: the NYPD as a result of all this, and it's
Speaker 1: simply unsustainable for these cities. I mean, people are fleeing
Speaker 1: because it's not even just about the shootings and the murders.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's those are the incredibly serious crimes that
Speaker 1: frightened people, and the loss of life through criminal action
Speaker 1: is the worst thing that's happening in these cities. But
Speaker 1: it's also the day to day quality of life crimes,
Speaker 1: the petty thefts, the larcities, the fact that you can't
Speaker 1: buy a toothbrush or chocolate bar in some neighborhood drug
Speaker 1: stores or national chains because they have to be under lock,
Speaker 1: literal lock and key, because cities don't allow for the
Speaker 1: prosecution of these thefts anymore. Because cities no longer seem
Speaker 1: able to police the criminal element in these societies. There
Speaker 1: are people who are committing crimes. You have to stop them,
Speaker 1: you have to punish them, and in cases where they
Speaker 1: are a danger to the public or they are repeat offenders,
Speaker 1: you have to take them off the streets. That's it.
Speaker 1: This is actually not rocket science, This is not super complicated.
Speaker 1: But the Democrats won't do it. Why I won't the
Speaker 1: Democrats do it well because they ideologically think that the
Speaker 1: system is oppressive, the system is racist. They look at
Speaker 1: disparity by race when it comes to arrest numbers and assume, well,
Speaker 1: there must be a system in place here that is racist. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the realities that the people who suffer the most from
Speaker 1: the rise in crime in these cities are disproportionately minorities,
Speaker 1: particularly black and Latino males, and they are the ones
Speaker 1: that are there people that Democrats constantly say they are
Speaker 1: they are trying to protect, they represent, and you know
Speaker 1: all the rest of it. So the numbers here show
Speaker 1: us that there is a huge problem with law enforcement
Speaker 1: not being supported adequately. That's one thing, okay, And this
Speaker 1: is why you don't have the ability to investigate even
Speaker 1: a crime series as rape in Seattle in a timely
Speaker 1: and effective fashion. This is true in many other cities.
Speaker 1: And then you look at the push right now for
Speaker 1: gun control and how they want more and more gun laws,
Speaker 1: or hold on a second, what are we doing with
Speaker 1: the gun laws that already are on the books. And
Speaker 1: what you find when you dig into this data is
Speaker 1: that whether it's New York or Philadelphia or name your city,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who are being let
Speaker 1: go despite being found with an illegal firearm. And when
Speaker 1: I say let go, I don't mean even a plea bargain.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about just dropped charges. I'm talking about Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just going to do a deferred prosecution entirely, or
Speaker 1: put them into a diversion program, or in the case
Speaker 1: of the city of Philadelphia, for example, there are the
Speaker 1: numbers show that over half of the people, over half
Speaker 1: of the people who were arrested in possession of a
Speaker 1: firearm who were illegal possessors, had had their cases dismissed.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I mean, so, now you've got
Speaker 1: people that have already committed crimes, who are carrying a
Speaker 1: gun illegally. It is illegal for them to have the
Speaker 1: gun in the first place. You see, So because they
Speaker 1: committed the crime, it's illegal for them to have the gun.
Speaker 1: They're committing a crime by having that gun, because they're
Speaker 1: a felon in possession, and yet they're not prosecuting a
Speaker 1: lot of those cases. Now, where is most of the
Speaker 1: violence in society coming from criminals who have handguns? In cities?
Speaker 1: That's where the violence is actually occurring. It's not assault
Speaker 1: rifles used in mass shootings. Those are actually statistically as
Speaker 1: horrific as they are rare. But shootings in Chicago, shootings
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, shootings in name a major city, they're
Speaker 1: happening by the dozens every weekend, and they involve handguns,
Speaker 1: and they usually involve individuals illegally possessing those handguns with
Speaker 1: a previous criminal record. Well what are city district attorneys'
Speaker 1: offices doing in this situation, Well, they don't want to
Speaker 1: be too harsh on those who are caught with illegal
Speaker 1: guns and cities who are disproportionately African American young men,
Speaker 1: so they're not actually prosecuting them vigorously. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1: This is what the data tells you. In New York,
Speaker 1: this is what the data tells you in Philadelphia many
Speaker 1: other places, putting them a new diversion program, dropping the charges.
Speaker 1: And then of course there's a lot of plea bargains.
Speaker 1: They plead do a much lesser charge. Well, if you
Speaker 1: want to stop if you want to stop gun violence,
Speaker 1: don't you have to actually take people who are violent,
Speaker 1: who are illegally carrying pistols with a previous criminal record
Speaker 1: and punish them. I mean, wouldn't that be a way
Speaker 1: of trying to stop gun violence? That would irrespective of
Speaker 1: a person, you know, white, black, Latino, Asian, U name,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Would don't you have to strictly enforce
Speaker 1: the laws on that on those issues. No, instead they
Speaker 1: talk to us about magazine limitations. Instead they talk to
Speaker 1: us about banning AAR fifteens. Air fifteens are used in
Speaker 1: less than two percent of shootings in the country fatal
Speaker 1: shooting in the country. Air fifteens are rarely used to
Speaker 1: kill people, rarely. Statistically, sometimes they're using these horrific mass shootings,
Speaker 1: but they aren't used in the day to day violence
Speaker 1: we see on the streets. So why is so much
Speaker 1: of a focus on that, and why are we supposed
Speaker 1: to listen to this when they won't even speak honestly
Speaker 1: about what they're doing in cities, or they've just made
Speaker 1: it impossible for day to day crimes to be prosecuted
Speaker 1: because the evidentiary burden on prosecutors in a place like
Speaker 1: New York is so high that they don't even have
Speaker 1: the manpower to say, Hey, you've been arrested for ten
Speaker 1: You've been arrested ten times for stealing from a store,
Speaker 1: for shoplifting, for larceny, grand larceny, petty larceny, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. You're gonna do some real time now, right.
Speaker 1: Why is it that we don't know more about this?
Speaker 1: Because social justice means not enforcing crime, not enforcing laws
Speaker 1: against people who commit a lot of crimes because they're underprivileged,
Speaker 1: or because the demographic data on the arrest is upsetting
Speaker 1: to democrats. This is what we're being told now, folks.
Speaker 1: This is the reality that is playing out. This is
Speaker 1: the official position of district attorney's offices like New York,
Speaker 1: like Philadelphia, like San Francisco. You know, we just have
Speaker 1: to enforce less of the law. That's what they're telling
Speaker 1: us on a regular basis. And then they wonder why
Speaker 1: we have so much lawlessness, and we wonder why cops
Speaker 1: are leaving because you know what they do. They point
Speaker 1: to one incident with one bad cop, which happens but
Speaker 1: is rare, and they actually, that's the problem of violence.
Speaker 1: It's police violence, racist police violence. In particular. We said, oh,
Speaker 1: the real problem of violence is day to day in
Speaker 1: cities across the country where Democrats are in charge, and
Speaker 1: they won't wars the darned laws that we already have
Speaker 1: because they don't like the end outcome of enforcing those laws,
Speaker 1: so they want to you know, they don't want to
Speaker 1: lock you up if you're a felon in possession of
Speaker 1: a glock on the streets of Philadelphia, but they want
Speaker 1: to make you a criminal if you don't want to
Speaker 1: hand over your air fifteen you've had for twenty years
Speaker 1: and you've never broken a law in your life. This
Speaker 1: is the mentality of the Libs. This is the mentality
Speaker 1: of the Democrats. Make no mistake about it, all right, Look, folks,
Speaker 1: another month comes to a close. We're likely here soon
Speaker 1: about more bad news in the cost of living and inflation.
Speaker 1: It will remind you one more time that our dollars
Speaker 1: are not going nearly as far and that our dollars

Speaker 1: When was Biden told about the baby formula crisis? Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper of CNN posing a good question here of the
Speaker 1: White House, and here is what he said, and here
Speaker 1: is the non answer that was given. I guess I
Speaker 1: still just don't fully understand why you didn't tell the
Speaker 1: president until April. If the problem was reported to the
Speaker 1: FDA last fall, the FDA didn't check it out until
Speaker 1: I think December, and then they shut down the factory
Speaker 1: in February. The president the only one who can invoke
Speaker 1: the Defense Production Act to force companies to produce this
Speaker 1: incredibly direly needed infant formula. He's not told until April. Karine,
Speaker 1: Jean Pierre, you'r presector here. He just said, this has
Speaker 1: been a whole of government approach that doesn't include the president.
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear that the president's role
Speaker 1: in this has been at the right in appropriate moments
Speaker 1: when we needed to do things like the Defense Production Act.
Speaker 1: He has been informed, he has directed the action that
Speaker 1: we have taken. But then why did they get so behind?
Speaker 1: If he was informed and he has the power and
Speaker 1: he has used the Defense Production Act, then why do
Speaker 1: we have seventy percent of the country out of baby
Speaker 1: formula right now? Just wondering or seventy percent of baby
Speaker 1: formula is not on the shelves, wondering, Well, Biden's even
Speaker 1: a bitting now, Oh, there's no switch to hit here.
Speaker 1: You know, it's basically, folks, it's gonna gonna suck for
Speaker 1: a while because you know, I'm president and I'm kind
Speaker 1: of dumb. The idea we're gonna be able to, you know,
Speaker 1: click a switch bring down the cost of gasoline is
Speaker 1: not likely in their term, nor is it with regard
Speaker 1: to food. Now with Biden as president now, of these
Speaker 1: Democrats in charge, that's for damn sure. Team, Thanks for
Speaker 1: rolling with me today, back tomorrow. Shield's high
