The talk show that's getting you talking, you're with Brian Kilmeade.

The scale's right now, it's hit very heavily in favor of the reforms of progressive left.

Well-enchanted, some needed, but tip 25. And what we have as a result is it's growing fear of

crime, it's growing actual amount of crime as evidence in almost every major American city.

And most of the victims of crime since the 2020 rise of Black Lives Matter, when it really

took root or took off have been Blacks. So as we defund the police and defame the police,

they're the ones paying the biggest price. That fact did not allude Professor Wilford Riley

and Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University author of books taboo,

ten facts you can't talk about and hate crime hoax. He's also got a great podcast. Professor

Yeah, I mean, so we're now kind of seeing the cost of the quote unquote racial reckoning.

And although I lean right, I'm not really political about this, this is a national tragedy.

But I mean last year, so in 2014, there are about 6,000 Black homicides per year.

After the Ferguson riots and the quote unquote Ferguson effect, that jump to close to 8,000,

a little under 8,000. And last year, we had 9,900 recorded Black murders, Black fatal homicides.

So we've seen the Black homicide rate during the Black Lives Matter era jump about 63%.

And if you talk to Leo's law enforcement officers like the former chief Bratton,

they'll say that's really directly traceable to police pullback. You can look at the number of

stops that the police make in a typical year and that tracks really, really closely with the

crime rate. So to some extent, the protesters got what they wanted, right? The request was that

the police pullback, respect Black neighborhoods, respect Black spaces, you know, go go lighter as

really enforcement of certain laws. And we saw the obvious as a result when the cops stop policing,
