Welcome into episode 47 of the Josh Hendricksson show.

I'm Neil McCready, joined as always on this show by the chair of the chair of economics at the University of Mississippi.

Josh Hendrickson. Josh, how are you?

Doing well.

All right. I want to start, I want to start on crime.

Are you pro or against?

You know, it's funny. I'm willing to admit this on the record that I'm against crime.

I'm especially against violent crime.

I believe that we should all, I believe this is one of those things in the world that is so divided.

I believe that we should be able to find common ground on this.

I really do.

I think this is, I think there are a handful of issues that regardless of your background,

your socioeconomic background, your race, your sex,

your religious beliefs, political views, teams you cheer for. I mean, i think even if you put old miss and lSU fans

in the same stadium in the middle of the game and stopped the game and said who here's for

harming children everybody would be like i mean like nobody we're're, we're, we're, we're an agreement here.

Yeah, yeah. Who here advocates for violent crime? This doesn't include like knocking the quarterback out.

This, this is like violent crime, like knives and guns and things everybody would be like oh

yeah see it's a kumbaya moment it's a simple thing yet yet i have watched over the past few weeks

You know, my car got broken into, stuff like that.
