| 0:00.0 | you're listening to the fuck sexton show podcast make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the i heart radio at or wherever you get your podcasts |
| 0:16.5 | welcome to hold the line on buck sexton the crime situation in america continues to deteriorate and it is directly |
| 0:23.5 | attributable to progressive prosecutors the b l m movement the democrats overall move toward being soft on crime to effectively decriminalize a whole range of crimes and we are now seeing mounting evidence as if we didn't have enough already of just how catastrophic this is |
| 0:43.5 | post a post in all around the country for one thing uh the twenty twenty twenty twenty twenty one crime surge involved a thirty percent national increase in homicides but if you look year over year six months into this point what you find is that we are still not only at record high levels of crime nationally there are a number of city |
| 1:06.5 | there are all the hands of democrat all have progressive prosecutors they are a function of and a province of democrat uh governance and thinking they actually have worse crime year over year to last year which was a catastrophically bad year for them both more this from fox news both more Los Angeles Philadelphia Washington DC Atlanta and New York City are all on pace to break their twenty twenty one levels of violent crime halfway through this year |
| 1:36.0 | the nation's largest city leading the group courted crime data from pile of fox news New York City a seen a twenty five percent jump in violent crime at this point in twenty twenty two six months in compared at the same time in twenty twenty one uh despite seeing a small decrease the amount of homicides recorded in the city so violence and lawlessness on the rise and again in cities where democrats just a few years ago |
| 2:04.0 | where counting their new no cash bail policies of their lower prosecution rates and lower incarceration rates for criminal offenders will now we see what the results of this and it's predictable and it's tragic now there has to be accountability |
| 2:24.0 | here's just to give you a sense of some of the increase in order these are year over year increases from twenty twenty one which is one of the worst years ever for violent crime at least in let's say thirty or forty years in america |
| 2:37.1 | Atlanta is up five point five percent year over year Baltimore six percent Philadelphia seven Los Angeles eight percent Washington DC twelve percent New York City twenty five percent now this is a particularly big problem this is particularly big challenge |
| 2:53.9 | for the city to explain because they have a new mayor right here they are looking at the situation look at the circumstance where they uh the people of New York elected a former police uh captain to become the the mayor of New York city so that he could crack down on violent crime and sure enough it is actually going in the opposite direction |
| 3:19.9 | and this is also for fox news Los Angeles Washington DC Baltimore Milwaukee and Atlanta have all seen homicide numbers outpace their mark in twenty twenty one Milwaukee seeing the largest spike of the group recorded crime data so this is now specifically on homicide you have Los Angeles DC Baltimore Milwaukee Atlanta more murders this year |
| 3:42.9 | now I understand you look at this data and you say well this is just a procious and everybody can understand that everybody can see what an outrage this is so how do we change it well one way to change it would be to stop instituting maniacally reckless policy at the level of citywide police department policy mayoral offices prosecutors offices here's an example the Chicago |
| 4:12.7 | police department has unveiled a new policy prohibiting its officers from chasing people on foot simply because they run away or because they have committed minor offenses so now if a a officer in Chicago see someone let's say steal a purse from somebody or run out of a store over the bag full of stolen goods it is now official policy as it seems from the city of Chicago that that officer should not give chase and by the way |
| 4:42.3 | even if under the rules and regulations the officer could justify giving chase would he or she want to knowing that that chase could result in a physical altercation of some kind and that if the basis for the chase was ruled invalid under department regulations there's always the possibility of some kind of discipline being needed out really of course for political reasons against that officer so what do you have you have fewer people |
| 5:11.8 | who are carrying a badge and a gun in Chicago and this is true in so many cities who are willing to do aggressive effective policing against the criminal element that exists in every society and that unfortunately has been involved in so much in hours |
| 5:30.6 | but there are some I mean here's the Chicago police superintendant who says that the foot pursuit policy makes officers and the community safer what |
| 5:40.4 | I just want to add as an overview for pursuit policies have been part of law for some over a decade now just because Chicago PD is now implementing a permanent one the impacts on crime has been studied and we can look back at for pursuit policies it's made officer safer and it's made the community safer in cities that's implementing this over a decade so the expectation for us is like Bob mentioned what we're learning and being farmed by our documentation and review of how |
| 6:10.3 | to continue to enhance officer safety as well as enhance safety of our residents fascinating that someone could say that and think that it doesn't sound utterly moronic how does it make the city safer it it may reduce officer involved officer involved altercations of course because they're not enforcing the law but what does that do to the law in the city what does it do to criminality |
| 6:39.3 | what happens with those who are now involved in to break the law more than ever because they know they won't be chased what we've seen is actually these cities deteriorating from a safety perspective what we've seen is a massive increase in lawlessness he's going to say there's a foot patrol policy that is provably better just absurd it's just a stupid thing to say and yet he says it and people are going to go along with it you have to wonder of course there was a high profile chase that didn't involve two people |
| 7:09.3 | who had guns and there were there were shots fired by police in response to this huge political upper or of this that's what the foot chase policies be all about and that's why it's becoming permanent right now and then you also have it's not just that the at the command level of major police departments in |
| 7:27.6 | democratic cities you also have the progressive prosecutors like George gasco as we know Chesa who Dan in San Francisco is out because people got sick of stepping over needles with their children in public |
| 7:41.8 | parks and their houses being broken into constantly their cars being broken into constantly the assaults the constant threats it was enough right |
