Crime Crisis, Criminal Justice Reform, War on Cops

Crime is out of control in America, inflamed by a dangerous anti-police narrative being pushed by progressive elites and activists, corporate media, and academia: America's criminal justice system is systemically oppressive and racist, that America has a mass incarceration problem---too many people are in jail---driven by 'overpolicing' and 'overprosecution,' and that cops are hunting down black and brown people.
This narrative is easily and devastatingly debunked using official government crime data. In so doing, we shed light on what is actually going on in America's most dangerous neighborhoods. Progressive policy prescriptions such as defund/abolish the police and emptying prisons would wreak havoc on the same marginalized communities progressives claim to be fighting for.
In the largest crime spike since the country got (correctly) tough on crime in the 1990s---with mandatory minimum sentences, three strikes laws, truth-in-sentencing regimes, and proactive policing---America witnessed over 21,000 murders in 2020, a 30 percent increase over 2019. We debunk the progressive narrative that racial disparities in arrests imply that law enforcement is systemically racist. Irresponsible false narrative reduces police presence in high-crime neighborhoods and puts the very same people on those behalf progressives say they are fighting in greater danger and with devastating consequences.
Without law and order, there are no private property rights. Without private property rights, there’s no capitalism. Without capitalism, there’s no freedom. Without freedom, we’re are no different than a Third World country that you don’t want to live in.
We discuss and connect the dots on crime and criminal justice reform in this episode.
