Speaker 1 (00:00):
Speaking of crime, he says again, I'm disappointed. I was shocked.
And it's a good example of if you're not local,
you don't you know, or at least regional, you probably
not quite deep enough into things to understand them. A
great example of that in Virginia. So many folks were
(00:20):
fixated on the Terry mccalliff Glenn Yuncan thing about the
critical race theory stuff in schools, and that was a factor.
That was absolutely a factor, but it wasn't It was
an exciting thing, so the media, including we, focused on it,
probably out of proportion. The number one issue for school
(00:41):
parents in Virginia was that, uh, Terry mcculliffe and the
teachers unions were keeping their kids at home, they weren't
teaching them. And that's what swayed the election in New York,
the election of Eric Adams, former cop reformer Conservative Democrat.
In a lot of ways law and order guy. Great news,
(01:04):
I think for Gotham, but whoa I missed the fact
that somehow New Yorkers had elected another one of these
George Sorrow's far left d as one of these Marxist
there's no such thing as crime chesso Bodine George or
what's his face? I always forget his name, Gastcone, George Gascone,
(01:27):
these extremists, So how does how does that happen? You know,
the AOC one because it was a primary and like
fifteen thousand people turned out and a tiny number of
people voted. Is that's what going on with these d as.
I hate to admit this a lot, but I don't
know that I've ever cast a vote for a d
A knowing what I was doing. Here. Here's the strategy
(01:51):
they use, and they all use the same strategy. Um,
and you can actually look at it kind of backward um.
For instance, George at Gascon d A of Los Angeles
County and an extremist and a lunatic, and he sounds
like a Bond villain anyway, It sounds like a neutered
Bond villain. Prosecutor way out of social inequalities, income inequalities,
(02:13):
the young House, the desperation that we have, prosecutor way
out of a lack of testicles. Wow, I'm say I
was out of bounds. A cycle edit that out when
the show airs. I see, I doubt it's true that
he doesn't have testicles. But even if he did. I'm
not sure your argument holds up. You know, that was
(02:34):
probably a distraction. What was I saying? Oh, yeah, that's right, Okay,
it's easier to look at it backward. These guys like
Guesscone jessop Bodine of the of San Francisco did the
same thing that that Luna taken Philadelphia whose name I
don't recall. Um. They all they get into office, they
get sworn in, and then they make the speech like
(02:56):
in Guesscones case, he makes this speech saying, no more
enhancements for gun crimes, no more, no more. Uh, prosecutors
showing up at parole hearings. We're not prosecuting breaking and
entering in burglary, we're not prosecuting property crimes, the rest
of it. They never say this stuff on the campaign trail.
(03:16):
They go with nice, touchy feely there are too many
black men in prison type arguments, we can't incarcerate our
way out of poverty, blah blah blah. It's good populist,
left leaning stuff. Then they get elected and they show
their true colors. That's how they get elected in left
leaning cities. So this guy, Alvin Bragg, I don't know,
(03:38):
I don't want to prosecute my way out of inequality.
I don't want to. I don't even that doesn't need
to factor in. If you hit somebody in a head
and take their purse, you gotta go to jail. If
you're breaking to somebody's home and steal something, you gotta
go to jail. You steal my car, you gotta go
to jail. Then there's no you don't need to bring
in inequality or inequity or whatever it is you want
(03:58):
to talk about. You know, I grant I grant you
that there are there's some overlap in those issues. But
it's it's almost like your electrician shows up and says,
you know, we can't wire our way out of income
in equality, and you're thinking, you're here to blank and
connect the light switch. What are you talking about? We
can't wire our way out of poverty? What? What? Why
(04:20):
are you even saying these things? George gets gone. That's
not being asked of you. You not not a nut.
He's very wildly picking up my cake at the bakery.
We cannot frost our way out of homeless. What god
seeing it? Anyway? So this guy in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg,
(04:41):
he is every bit the extremist as these other people
were talking about. To wit Um, you know what, Yeah,
let's just go ahead, give me clip fifty. You can
do the crime and now not get the time. Critics
say that's the message from the new progressive Manhattan District Attorney,
I'll been Bragg and a stunning reversal of traditional law
(05:03):
enforcement procedures. Bragg will stress diversion and alternatives like crisis
intervention to jail time over putting some criminals behind bars.
Here will no longer incarceraate lawbreakers unless it's murder, a
crime that involves someone's death, or a felony. Brag says
his goal is quote safety and fairness. Had a knife
(05:23):
to my neck, I've had a semi automatic weapons to
my head. I know these issues. Genimately, what we're doing
now is not working, plain and simple. Uh. And so
this is our path forward. This is how we reduce
Miley climb all right. First of all, that they ease
into the report. Some of those methods that Eric Shawn
there on Fox News reported are are useful in sometimes,
(05:47):
but there you begin to get a taste of this
Alvin Bragg, because there is crime that's proof that what
we're doing isn't working. That's an absurd argument, an idiotic
There's always been time, there will always be crime. We
can't possibly catch all the criminals, so that that that
was a non argument. But wait, it gets worse. Give
us fifty one. Michael Bragg will largely no longer in
(06:10):
force some trespass crimes, resisting arrest, and sex work, and
is reducing charges that could mean no jail time for
some armed robbery arrests, stealing from stores or storage areas
of homes, and dealing drugs. Police unions and criminal justice
advocates are outraged, saying Brag is given criminals a free pass.
He's paving the way for an even even bigger blood
(06:34):
bath than what we have seen in New York City,
already ruining any chances that the city has to come back.
What was that stealing from storage sharers? What that's not
a crime? Well, and no jail time for armed robbery. Seriously,
resisting arrest isn't a crime anymore, right, exactly? Wow? I'd
(06:57):
you like to be a cop and you find out
that resisting arrest is no longer a crime, so they
get to fight you, and you've just got to hope
you win. So fans of bull s words coming out
of people's mouths that mean nothing, they're really going to
enjoy the next couple of clips. Eric Shawn actually sits
down and speaks to the radical leftist and clip fifty two.
(07:19):
With these policies give criminals or green light? No, I
mean that just depends upon your definition of criminal. Uh.
And for all too long kind of don't with this
othering of you know, anyone we put in jail is
a criminal. Well, you know what we're putting in jail,
Homeless people who um uh literally in one example, use
(07:40):
a one kind of to buy food and toothpaste. Uh
gotta say, it's a forty eight years. So if that's
your definition criminal, I suggest we need to really reorder ourselves. Uh. No,
My definition of a criminals people who commit crimes. Here
we are talking about burglaries and armed robbery. All of
a suddenly saying, well, depends what you consider a criminal.
(08:03):
Homeless people who need toothpaste. What are you talking about?
You're mothering people? Yeah, yeah, I am, they are. They
are the other. The other is people that don't live
by society's rules. So you're a different group of people.
And until you decide you want to live by society's rules,
(08:23):
you need to be in jail. You're a different group
of people. I'm fine with calling you the other you're
a criminal. It's interesting how these people never actually address
your arguments. They just bring out other stuff. So here's
when I hear these kind of people, whether it's a
guy in uh, San Francisco, l A pil Pennsylvania, this
guy or whatever. Do they believe this stuff? Do they
(08:44):
actually believe this stuff? They either do or they're committed
to the Cloud Piven strategy of causing such a crisis
that the system breaks and then you can rebuild it.
Because there's a fair amount of that. Yeah, well, I
know that there are people that believe, you know, if
(09:05):
somebody steals a bike, it's because they really needed a bike.
You know. Those people are known as idiots. One more clip,
here's Eric Adams on C and and oh um, well okay,
this is uh this is Eric Adams, the mayor, new
mayor kind of responding to that sort of talk. An
(09:25):
effort that has started already after communicating with President Biden,
our federal state City a t F prosecutors, we need
to all come together similar to what we did after
the terrorist attack to stop terrorism, we have to do
it to stop the terror of gun violence in our city.
We think that we can stop and prevent clients by
(09:48):
invested in those on the ground units that are doing
amazing things to prevent criminal behavior. And that is how
you start to turn around the crimes that we've seen
in our city. And you're totally opposed to they used to.
They're called defunding the police, right, I am not one
of the defund is well, we need to take a break,
but very briefly, Uh, if at the end of the line,
(10:08):
the prosecutor won't prosecute, all those efforts will be in vain.
I think we're about to see a war between Eric
Adams and this Marxist lunatic Alvin brad Good Good that
should be played out in public and let's have that debate.
More on that coming up.
Speaking of crime, he says again, I'm disappointed. I was shocked.
