Based Camp - Was it a Mistake to Defund the Police？ (Asks Local Idiot) The Free Money Glitch to High Crime

00:00:00.000 hello simone today we are going to be talking about an interesting topic one is new forms of

00:00:05.840 crime and crime waves that are hitting major american cities at the moment and transforming

00:00:10.960 the nature of business in these cities if you could walk into a store grab what you want and

00:00:18.400 just go what would shopping look like oh my god call the police welcome to amazon go

00:00:26.760 we call it just walk out technology

00:00:32.080 recently there was a tiktok trend that was called the the chase money glitch

00:00:41.060 twins twins i'm not even gonna lie i'm not even supposed to condone in this type of behavior due

00:00:46.540 to the direction that i'm trying to project my life in but that chase bait plate looking too

00:00:51.500 sweet right now twins no cap i could just hit one chase bait plate oh man they really told me to

00:00:58.240 tap in next day was supposed to clear look at my account yo because i have thirty thousand dollars

00:01:04.240 in credit card debt when they call i tell them i can't pay it back yet credit card debt i'm so excited

00:01:12.260 about this is that despite what people think there is actually pretty strong evidence that crime in

00:01:21.760 the current day and age is at one of its highest levels in human history that's meaningful because

00:01:28.880 normally the trend is oh you watch the news you think crime is so bad when really crime has never

00:01:34.620 been lower and crime is going down just to quickly know where this number comes from specifically what

00:01:42.200 they do at if they correlate crime rates across cultures with homicide rates which are much easier

00:01:47.540 to track in absolute amounts right because many people have things stolen from them and just never

00:01:52.060 report it or even that reporting just gets lost and so it's not good what they do is they correlate

00:01:57.440 the homicide rates with correcting for survival rates due to advances in medical technology

00:02:03.040 and when you correct for that what looks like a dropping crime rate is actually a quickly rising crime

00:02:09.500 rate right because the issue is that in what really we were looking at was oh our hospitals have gotten

00:02:15.700 a lot better it's not crime has gone down it's that now when you get shot you're more likely to live

00:02:20.380 which is nice i guess also could be going over a phenomenon where police have basically given up or it

00:02:29.140 looks like from the data uh people are just not being convicted anymore can you blame them also a

00:02:35.080 lot of people are getting elected at all i mean it's such a thankless job today but let's get into the

00:02:41.140 data because this is going to be a very data heavy episode and some of the individual claims here would

00:02:46.260 you like to know more well the statistic i wanted to find that i just thought was absolutely insane and

00:02:50.540 i have to find it somewhere is that in nyc your average retail store is being robbed on average once a day

00:02:57.220 okay so i decided to do the math on this since 2021 full year numbers of shoplifting incidents have escalated

00:03:04.980 up to 59 000 and that represents a nearly 35 increase so i took this 59 137 number and then i looked up how many

00:03:15.220 stores are in manhattan and there are 750 and that gives us a any given store in manhattan is robbed

00:03:24.280 on average 79 times per year um at this point but the big thing that's changed recently and they'll

00:03:32.520 always talk about like oh crime rates are down to where they were before the pandemic but that's just

00:03:36.240 not true yeah actually robberies have risen five percent year over year as anyone who has been to a place

00:03:41.080 like manhattan would know like manhattan now every store everything is locked up like everywhere you

00:03:47.060 go it is not like it used to be you've been to like a cvs in manhattan recently simone yeah everything

00:03:51.600 is locked up you have to wait forever to get someone to unlock the shelf to help you which is very

00:03:57.480 annoying right and that now new forms of crime because it's so easy to rob people have started

00:04:03.540 where one form of crime started where because the new york had these outdoor seating areas for the

00:04:08.360 restaurants during covid that weren't really part of a restaurant people would just go up and rob

00:04:13.480 everyone who was sitting at them you know do a stick up ask for their wallets their phones everything

00:04:18.320 like that well outdoor diners beware this surveillance video shows what's starting to look like a pattern

00:04:25.100 of armed robberies at outside restaurants in this instance two men eating at marlo and sons in

00:04:31.080 williamsburg were forced to hand over their watches there have been similar incidents at birds of a feather

00:04:37.020 also in williamsburg and carbone in the village police are trying to figure out whether the

00:04:41.800 holdups are connected and now they become more brazen and they're moving into is in the swanky parts

00:04:49.080 of new york just going directly into the wealthy restaurants and just robbing everyone in the

00:04:53.680 restaurant and then driving away and this has become a new type of crime this year that like i guess

00:04:59.040 people hadn't thought of doing before just no but this used to be i this is i always used to see this

00:05:04.560 as you know stick them up oh you know you go in and you uh you point a gun at everyone in a

00:05:10.480 restaurant or something there's that famous scene from i think a quentin tarantino movie that it starts

00:05:17.360 with a couple being like no more liquor stores what we've been talking about yeah no more liquor store

00:05:21.600 and if it's not the gooks it's these old jews have owned a store for 15 generations you've got

00:05:26.500 grandpa ervin sitting by the behind the counter with a magnum in his hand

00:05:30.120 this place a coffee shop what's wrong with that nobody ever robs restaurants why not

00:05:37.080 restaurants you catch with their pants down they're not expecting to get robbed

00:05:41.580 customers one minute they're having a denver omelet next minute someone's sticking a gun in their face

00:05:46.000 a lot of people come to restaurants a lot of walnuts

00:05:50.400 pretty smart huh i love you i love you honey bunny everybody be cool this is a robbery

00:06:00.560 any of you f***ing pricks move and i'll execute every mother f***ing last one of you

00:06:07.860 i love you honey bear it's a pulp fiction there you go so i always saw that it's like the classic

00:06:15.660 crime but that never happened do this at fancy restaurants not historically you did it at like

00:06:20.800 yeah you did it at a diner but the smart people do it at fancy restaurants i'm just glad people

00:06:26.200 have come around but one cinematic magic why wouldn't these people be doing this you know

00:06:31.280 somebody's pointing on the comments in one of the videos i was watching of this that if you steal less

00:06:35.380 than a thousand dollars a day you're not going to get jail time in the u.s but if you don't pay

00:06:38.880 five hundred dollars in taxes to the irs you know your life gets ruined yeah and it is and and people

00:06:45.860 are like how like if you're from other places in the u.s and i might play some video of like how

00:06:50.800 brazenly these robberies are happening now your initial reaction is like how are people doing this

00:06:56.560 without fear of being shot and this is just it's amazon go if you could walk into a store grab what you

00:07:04.020 want and just go what would shopping look like oh my god call the police welcome to amazon go

00:07:13.360 we call it just walk out technology

00:07:18.660 take whatever you like sometimes when i call 911 nobody answers

00:07:27.540 no lines no checkout no seriously shoplifters don't seem to care who's watching once you've

00:07:35.480 got everything you want you can just go

00:07:38.120 filling bags and backpacks in the middle of the day

00:07:44.120 you can keep going amazon go

00:07:49.520 it's with that internet historian he's just grab it and go

00:07:59.460 but that's different so robbing stores is one thing because most stores have a policy that says

00:08:05.160 the employees can get fired for intervening with a robbery yeah for insurance reasons so so in other

00:08:11.840 words because because these larger corporations have insurance policies that basically won't pay

00:08:17.500 out properly if employees intervene because that can increase liability even more they they yeah

00:08:23.580 they have these policies where you can't intervene which is really hard for employees

00:08:27.160 because yeah they may like for the first yeah like once a day it's fine but then when the same person

00:08:33.820 comes in the 15th time and steals another pair of lululemon leggings are you going oh yeah and we're

00:08:39.020 going to talk about this because it is actually a very small number of people just doing it over and

00:08:43.120 over and over again and and again why wouldn't they there is very little punishment and yeah

00:08:47.960 they're being incentivized to do it effectively they're being rewarded every time they do it

00:08:51.760 because they get the thing and they don't get caught well they don't get apprehended so as mcgold

00:08:56.800 do you know who he is right no he's one of the most famous like talk youtubers fantastic guy i really

00:09:02.520 love his content watch other people's videos i can't wait till he does one of ours and he was doing

00:09:06.920 one on this crime spree and he was like confused as to how people thought they could get away with

00:09:13.200 this without getting shot right and and because new york is a concealed carry state it's a super

00:09:19.200 liberal state so who's doing it learn yeah is it's concealed carry yes but it's basically possible to

00:09:27.140 get a concealed carry license so you have to do like 16 hours of courses and one person was talking

00:09:32.820 about how they had done the 16 hours of courses denied the concealed carry license because they

00:09:38.500 were quote unquote a 25 year old male and able to defend themselves without being

00:09:43.100 you go to the office they look you up and down they're like you could cut a bitch like you don't

00:09:49.960 need no but hold on this is insane because one it's like yeah but what if the criminal has a gun

00:09:54.280 first of all are they supposed to like jujitsu somebody with a gun and then two yes like we know

00:10:01.200 what happens in new york if you if they're basically saying no just beat them to death

00:10:05.520 and it's like oh well i mean if you're a white man you just stand on their neck and they die or

00:10:09.240 something isn't that how white people kill people i don't know no so there was the incidence of the

00:10:14.240 the guy who was going around trying to kill people that that guy in the subway station

00:10:18.380 threatening to kill people beating him to death and then they're like oh well i know we said that

00:10:23.420 you're supposed to do this but he was black and you were white and that makes him a

00:10:28.080 protected class so you know to jail for life with you it's it's absolutely insane how little

00:10:35.280 incentive there is to not do this and there's another crazy thing that's going on in new york

00:10:39.840 right now which is an increase in assaults due to tiktok and i'll put an article on screen here

00:10:46.120 about this but there is a a a punching tiktoks are now pretty popular i was literally just walking

00:10:51.760 and a man came up and punched me in the face stories from new york city women going viral on

00:10:58.000 tiktok i literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk their videos detailing how they're

00:11:03.860 allegedly getting punched in the face completely unprovoked several women have posted these videos

00:11:09.740 describing similar allegations in just the last week heli kate posted about an assault on monday

00:11:16.140 she says she had to be treated at a local medical facility for injuries to the left side of her face

00:11:22.060 oh my god it hurts so bad i can't even talk olivia brand posting updates on her own experience earlier

00:11:28.920 this month after commenters on tiktok started connecting the two cases and like adding me and

00:11:35.040 saying like look this girl went through something similar elio wagner says she was punched in the face

00:11:40.580 by someone she didn't know last september broken down by week misdemeanor assaults are up 10 percent

00:11:47.500 compared to the same period last year what else are we hearing about this one suspect that is in

00:11:52.960 custody tonight this guy bokeh store he actually is a bit of a fringe political figure ran for mayor of

00:11:58.060 new york city back in 2021 and he has now been charged with this assault for one of these cases

00:12:05.360 oh no this whole thing i mean this comes up as a thing in the news every now and then where there's like

00:12:11.780 the whatever game where supposedly impressionable teenagers are being convinced to go out and punch

00:12:19.860 people and then post it on tiktok but i i don't i don't doubt that it happens in fact there's currently

00:12:25.280 a lawsuit against tiktok taking place for a very different dangerous game in which it's called the choking

00:12:30.500 game you know you can imagine the asphyxiation game at play here where one 10 year old girl actually

00:12:36.080 died doing it of course and and the parent is trying game what is this where it shows you how to

00:12:44.620 engage in auto asphyxiation yeah and it's just like do it it's on tiktok so it's fun so a 10 year

00:12:51.740 old girl did it i mean thousands of people did it she died doing it the mother is trying to sue tiktok

00:12:59.040 for serving an algorithm that that gave that to her which is like it's a difficult like legal thing

00:13:07.460 to litigate but i mean who knows right but still like how they'll like take down slightly conservative

00:13:12.040 content but they won't take down content showing kids how to off themselves i mean like it is wild

00:13:18.740 how bad the the censorship is these days but simone to go further okay yes before we go further here

00:13:25.580 so if we go to new york and we go to a fancy restaurant someone's gonna stick us up then

00:13:29.540 we're gonna go outside some kid on tiktok's gonna punch us and then run away right that's that's life

00:13:33.800 in new york right now i mean we're about to go to dc so buckle up now if you're if you're going into

00:13:39.320 this and you're like well but black lives matter told me that black people want less cops so this is

00:13:45.380 probably all a good thing you know there's fewer fewer cops if you can count it it's fewer if it's

00:13:50.360 something like a mass where it's not countable like water then it's less

00:13:54.440 okay so less cops anyway so there was this simone i'm not gonna fall for your your erudite grammar

00:14:08.400 okay i speak like a man okay an american i use whatever word i want

00:14:14.400 yeah um but anyway so if you're like but i was told by black lives matter that that and you know

00:14:21.780 there's that that horrible like cucked comic where it's the individual who got their bike stolen and

00:14:27.900 they're like i was sad because i got my bike stolen but then i was happy thinking that whoever took it

00:14:32.340 probably needed it more than i did oh um and it's like wow have you cucked yourself and it turns out

00:14:38.140 there's this one like mexican bike theft lord that's selling them in bulk across the border

00:14:43.760 yeah it's not like it's not just one guy but your bike it's an industrialized stealing ring like yeah

00:14:51.240 how dumb do you have to be to not understand how like basic types of thievery work stealing bikes as

00:14:58.040 an individual isn't a good way to make money the individual who stole your bike was making minimum

00:15:03.560 wage working for a drug lord basically probably not even making minimum wage probably being paid

00:15:09.260 in small amounts in new york no no they can't afford new york minimum wage not in this economy

00:15:14.420 got it is malcolm no being paid in math another person who famously shared a similar sentiment was

00:15:20.480 the celebrity seth rogan dude i've lived here for over 20 years you're nuts uh-huh it's lovely here

00:15:26.820 don't leave anything valuable in it it's called living in a big city you can be mad but i guess i don't

00:15:33.060 personally view my car as an extension of myself and i've never really felt violated any of the 15

00:15:38.020 or so times my car was broken into once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if

00:15:43.380 it keeps happening you might get a little treat also it sucks your shit was stolen but la is not some

00:15:48.520 shithole city as far as big cities go it has a lot of homeless people i mean a lot going for it

00:15:53.700 he's also a pretty rampant antinatalist so there's that i mean it's pretty obvious that society is going

00:16:02.600 to become a lot better as people like this remove themselves from the gene pool so you know i that's

00:16:09.640 one of the many reasons why i'm actually quite psyched about fertility collapse i still don't want

00:16:14.420 kids yeah it doesn't seem that fun and most of my friends who are parents god bless them spend a lot

00:16:21.780 of their time talking about how much they don't like having kids uh and what me and my wife spent a lot

00:16:28.440 of time talking about is how much fun stuff we can do because we don't have kids i think that that's

00:16:33.420 actually pretty rad though because it's like not everybody that's not everybody's dream is to do

00:16:37.900 that and a lot of people i just think it's important you say that but you don't need kids there's so many

00:16:41.960 kids i know and that's the thing too yeah who looks at all the kids out there and thinks i wish there

00:16:48.260 were more kids no i think there should be more voices that you don't need to have kids yeah you

00:16:54.600 don't need to have kids also like won't the world not be here in 30 years

00:16:57.840 the truth is is no while you are being told by progressives that blacks don't want police in

00:17:07.600 their communities i'm gonna read a quote here and this is from cy post a very centrist organization

00:17:12.240 most black americans favor maintaining or even increasing local police presence and funding

00:17:18.520 according to a recent study published in the journal of criminal justice surprisingly this

00:17:22.860 preference is more robust among black americans than non-black americans it holds steady regardless

00:17:28.440 of changes in crime trends or information about policing reforms support for police however is reduced

00:17:34.400 by negative feelings towards police and perceptions of unfairness and police procedures so black americans are

00:17:39.560 more pro police than white americans and they want on average more police in their neighborhoods not

00:17:47.940 less okay the idea that they want anything else is a not just a fiction it is a lie that victimizes

00:17:58.100 black communities yeah we're seeing all people that are actually in a lot of these poor communities

00:18:03.300 outside of the ones doing the crime are not defund the policers okay they know they need the

00:18:09.120 fucking police it's always upper middle class people that think they have some kind of solidarity with

00:18:14.160 poor people and so they want to take their right to safety away from them they're like oh we're gonna

00:18:19.520 try to help you we're gonna we're gonna make your life better you're not gonna get arrested anymore by

00:18:23.980 these mean police officers it's crazy man and the reason why they don't get it is because they live

00:18:29.760 such sheltered privileged lives that they've never needed police it's never been a problem okay so let's

00:18:35.720 let's start with that but now we are gonna go into the stats and i'm gonna be putting some graphs on

00:18:40.340 screen here and we're gonna have a lot of fun okay who's dad and this comes from an aporia piece

00:18:45.740 called murder as a measuring stick in aporia you know we know matt who runs it i actually he stepped

00:18:51.760 down yeah yeah but anyway great great magazine i remember the last time we went to it because we

00:18:56.720 were mentioning it on the podcast and i go to it and the front page of the magazine is one of our

00:19:00.660 child's faces for the front page article that day and no one had asked us no i had sent that to diana

00:19:05.880 fleishman who wrote the article oh you had okay i had no i was just like what uh no no no no i want

00:19:12.700 everyone to know how cute our children are malcolm of course comparing crime rates between countries and

00:19:18.880 across time is hard definition shift unpunished crimes go unreported the quality of statistics varies

00:19:25.860 and what constitutes a crime changes and they had a citation on the unpunished crimes go unreported

00:19:31.200 part the exception is murder both its definition and the reporting are consistent between countries

00:19:38.660 and across time hence murder rates are often used as a proxy for crime rates and they have a citation

00:19:44.460 there as well and this is when you're dealing for very very long crime rates and right here is a

00:19:50.280 visualization from 1909 to 2023 of murder rates and even when you are not adjusting for medical

00:19:58.320 advancements which we'll get to in a bit we right now are above the average murder rate from 1909 to 2023

00:20:06.620 it shot up massively in the early 2020s and it looks like what you actually have here is a scenario in

00:20:16.700 which the murder rate goes way up then you'll get a slight dip then it goes way up again yeah what is

00:20:22.560 that it's it seems like there was murder season what is going on there oh is it it's summer sorry i

00:20:27.620 forgot i actually well yeah there is like murder season but here what i actually expect is happening

00:20:32.920 when i look at where the rates go way up again is it is as a result of the the lead when they started

00:20:39.420 using lead in but then when nobody went up and down and up and down like i don't think like

00:20:43.400 no it should just go up and down at all this is over a century simone oh okay sorry i should it does

00:20:51.240 go up and down over a century we're talking decades apart oh so when it goes down for that big thing

00:20:57.860 it's the lead and then yeah it looks like it was from leaded gas if you if you overlay this big middle

00:21:04.360 rise in crime rates it's probably due to leaded gas yes of course that makes sense and you had a huge

00:21:10.440 decrease in crime rates after so basically crime rates are constantly going up from like 1909

00:21:16.180 to like 1933 what happened in 1933 that depressed the crime rates and then led to them to continue

00:21:23.160 to be depressed the great depression world war one and world war two oh oh yeah and and that did

00:21:29.960 1933 though we didn't go to war in 33 um okay so my internal memory of dates is not very good

00:21:37.140 world war one started the united states joined world war one in 1917 and we ended our involvement

00:21:43.420 in 1918 and you still see a pretty sharp rise in the crime rates after that so i'm going to retract

00:21:50.580 that being the main reason for this depression and crime rates as for the ban on leaded gas that

00:21:55.900 happened in 1973 and as you can see the rapid decrease in crime rates began exactly 20 years after

00:22:02.420 that which is i think about what we'd expect that would be great but now we are dealing with a

00:22:06.880 massive uptick in crime rates and the rise we are seeing looks like it might be faster than any of

00:22:12.560 the previous rises that we've seen all right although the murder rate is insulated from reporting and

00:22:19.820 definition shifts it is very strongly affected by medical care both improved techniques and better

00:22:24.440 access a fatal injury in 1960 might be easily treatable today to put it in concrete numbers if aggravated

00:22:30.920 assaults in the united states had been as lethal in 1999 as they were in 1960 the murder rate would

00:22:36.920 have been 3.4 x higher whoa okay yeah you're looking at this graph adjust the more recent ones

00:22:47.220 by 3.4 x meaning that basically rates have well we'll get into what we've actually seen from rates

00:22:55.760 and i'm going to put a graph on screen here so people can see the rise in lethality

00:22:59.020 basically directly correlates with the drop in homicide rates that's being recorded taking this

00:23:05.900 into account i would estimate that a murder today represents four to five times as much crime and

00:23:12.160 disorder as a murder in 1960 and probably 10 times as much as a medieval murder with early 20th century

00:23:19.460 somewhere in between the two as such today's murder rate being comparable to that of the 1960s

00:23:25.020 represents a colossal failure of justice with overall crime and disorder being several times higher than

00:23:31.560 it was two generations ago why does this matter the major costs of crime are not from murder because

00:23:38.880 murder is rare and highly concentrated in a few demographics they are from more common crimes like

00:23:45.700 assault mugging burglary housebreaking and grape as well as general public disorder both directly and

00:23:52.480 in the huge cost people pay to avoid it murder is a reasonably murder is a reasonably good proxy

00:23:58.860 for these things in the short run because all crime and disorder tends to go together but the

00:24:05.420 ratio of murder i just want to highlight i had never thought before about the the cost of crime when you

00:24:13.620 consider how people live differently when they anticipate crime the things that they don't do to avoid crime

00:24:19.880 and that really there's a huge article we could go into on this it's really interesting that goes over

00:24:25.280 how in countries like japan and korea where you don't have as much crime there are not big dead

00:24:30.940 zones in the center of major cities but in the u.s and parts of europe there are where you know you'll

00:24:36.860 there'll be zones in the center of cities like just people don't go because they're dangerous right i mean

00:24:42.040 this is not a universal phenomenon it's a phenomenon unique to high crime countries right um

00:24:47.700 a murder rate of x you know even in the recent past corresponds to a lower crime rate than the

00:24:54.360 murder rate of x today uh discourse about crime and its prevalent must take this into account

00:25:00.340 now here they have a very long explanation about why in the united states the homicide rate is higher

00:25:08.040 but the overall disorder rate is not higher because this is true in the united states we just

00:25:13.080 have a uniquely high homicide culture in our country well god bless us for being so effective

00:25:18.580 right you know at least we get the job done when we obviously progressives will be like but this is

00:25:23.300 because of our gun laws but that's like objectively not true because canada has similar gun laws and

00:25:28.360 some other countries have similar gun laws and it doesn't lead to the same rise in crime so yeah

00:25:33.120 it's not due to our gun laws it's due to a cultural phenomenon in this article they go into a fairly

00:25:38.920 detailed number focus argument based on hbd which i am not going to get into but third rail third rail

00:25:46.960 third rail they're more third rail than i'm willing to go i i actually was hesitant to to write for them

00:25:53.220 because i was like i can't be um we actually thought when we were originally doing this podcast

00:25:58.180 we were going to do it as an aporia podcast like to to work directly with them to do it and be funded

00:26:04.480 partially by them but we just couldn't bring ourselves to do it because i didn't want to be

00:26:09.080 connected with the hbd stuff for people who don't know what hbd is it's human biodiversity basically

00:26:14.180 a euphemism the the the the the theory that there are intergenerationally large and persistent

00:26:22.880 genetic differences in behavioral patterns across ethnic groups um i just i just don't want to touch it i

00:26:29.460 don't i don't see any reason why i need to argue that particular third rail so wait why am i missing here

00:26:34.420 okay yes if the western criminal justice systems were merely as effective as they were in 1960

00:26:41.280 and western populations have a similar genetic propensity to commit crime we would naively

00:26:46.740 expect crime to fall over time as has happened in japan for the following reasons obesity despite

00:26:54.320 being of lower socioeconomic status and intelligence by the way the reason they point that out is because

00:26:59.240 being lower socioeconomic status and lower intelligence increases the probabilities that somebody will

00:27:04.100 commit a crime yeah and you can look in prison systems in that and actually the types of crimes they

00:27:09.900 commit change so for example the rate of being a grapist goes up really high in proportion to how low

00:27:16.300 your iq is and goes down with how high your iq is which again reminds me of that girl who's like well if i

00:27:23.500 can't buy guess i'm gonna steal it yeah just just like that whole dynamic summarized oh my god i saw the

00:27:31.000 most hilarious low iq crime thing that happened recently there was a tiktok trend and i'm gonna see

00:27:37.160 if i can find some video of this that was called the the chase money glitch oh wait that was real i saw

00:27:45.360 people making fun of it check fraud it was check fraud no what they found was this really cool

00:27:51.240 glitch where you could deposit a check for money that you didn't have and it took the bank like 30

00:27:57.160 minutes to realize that the check had bounced but you could withdraw that money in cash before it bounced

00:28:02.680 and so this is how the chase money glitch worked and people thought this was free money

00:28:08.560 half of these have to be they will use these there's no way there's no way guys

00:28:26.540 twins twins i'm not even gonna lie i'm not even supposed to condone in this type of behavior due to

00:28:34.980 the direction that i'm trying to project my life in but that chase bait plate looking too sweet right

00:28:40.560 now twins no cap i can just hit one chase bait plate i i can buy so many shabits like twins is

00:28:47.340 for 30 40 balls 50 balls like like their plan is to do some kind of scam and then retire for the rest

00:28:55.540 of their lives on the twelve thousand dollars that the scam is going to make them his comments

00:29:00.720 yeah filled with people either claim no more nine to five or fishing for victim if you got chase let

00:29:07.840 me know someone pmo if you got chase let me know how do you withdraw it all at once yeah i said then

00:29:13.040 they found out later i didn't know it wasn't free money that they had to find a way to pay it back

00:29:18.440 after they had spent it all

00:29:19.980 the bank had their social security number and place of work and address

00:29:28.380 they didn't know that yeah they know where you live

00:29:33.180 oh man they really told me to tap in next day was supposed to clear look at my account yo

00:29:47.420 because i have thirty thousand dollars in credit card debt

00:29:56.300 when they call i tell them i can't pay it back yet credit card debt tomorrow i may buy myself a

00:30:04.360 dining room set or this boba fett credit card debt this is an incidence of crying by stupidity

00:30:10.360 i mean i love like i part of me wonders like what's going through their head and i was watching an

00:30:15.700 azimacold video on this as well and my general takeaway was his as well which is that they just

00:30:22.440 do not understand at a base level how a bank works to them a bank is a money machine and there's a

00:30:30.100 glitch in it that's giving them the ability to access more money i mean they've never taken out

00:30:34.240 a loan or anything like that they don't understand these concepts if there is a way to get the bank to

00:30:39.560 just give them money then they yeah why not right and there's these videos of them just like

00:30:44.620 incriminating like twerking and stuff out in front of a bank was like cash like no cash thing on their

00:30:51.140 arm no i don't think you do it sorry wait you think it goes like this that's how they did it they

00:31:01.460 like they'd like spread out the cash on their arm no you go like this no no no you know nothing about

00:31:07.360 like the riz and the drip of the younger generation simone there's no way

00:31:11.460 there's you're like an old how do you put the bills across your arm you gotta do it like the

00:31:19.460 youth do or you ain't got no riz okay interesting well anyway though this did blow my mind because i

00:31:26.420 did not know that obese people are about 20 to 25 percent per five bmi less likely to commit violent

00:31:35.060 property and drug crimes than their normal weight counterparts so amazing you know if you walk by a

00:31:41.540 fat person on the street you can be 20 to 25 percent per five bmi less worried that they're gonna i'm

00:31:48.840 gonna be honest when i see people that my brain recognizes are threatening and i move to the other

00:31:55.160 side of the street they are never obese they're never fat it's true because it's the wiry ones you

00:32:00.360 have to watch out for well i look for the wiry ones or the ripped ones or the ones who look like that

00:32:05.760 you know the math gets in the sort of skinny yeah anyway i'm gonna read this this whole thing here

00:32:12.040 because it is actually interesting in the way it's argued yeah so obesity despite being of lower

00:32:16.680 socioeconomic status and intelligence obese people are much less likely about 20 to 25 percent per

00:32:24.180 5 bmi to commit violent property and drug crimes than their normal weight counterparts the evidence

00:32:30.460 isn't overwhelming you can't do an rct but there are plausible reasons such as lower testosterone and

00:32:38.820 the physical difficulty of committing crimes so let's note the lower testosterone here because a lot of

00:32:42.680 people don't know this that's obesity goes up your testosterone production decreases and testosterone

00:32:48.320 production is directly correlated with a person's likelihood of committing a crime over the past 40

00:32:53.840 years average bmi among young adults 18 to 25 increased by 4.5 points in the united states

00:32:59.920 without this it's reasonable to assume that crime rates would have increased further uh that is

00:33:05.900 fascinating that is really fascinating increase is wealth in the 21st century societies are vastly

00:33:11.780 wealthier than their 1950s counterparts to the extent that wealth causally reduces crime we would expect

00:33:19.120 crime to drop and then and this is the big one here sorry did you have something to say before i go

00:33:24.860 further no no no keep going i i love this this article super interesting

00:33:28.400 forensic technology and surveillance in the 21st century surveillance is ubiquitous and we have dna

00:33:37.720 evidence gps data and numerous other modern forensic tools it should be much harder to get away with

00:33:43.660 crimes today than it was in 1960 and since the vast majority of crime is committed by repeat criminals

00:33:49.520 who it should be easier to apprehend near the beginning of their sprees one would naively expect

00:33:55.060 this alone to be a reason for significant reduction in crime but clearance rates have instead plummeted

00:34:04.120 much easier for the typical criminal to get away with it how much worse would this be without

00:34:10.220 technological advances and here is one of the things that gets absolutely wild if you look at the rate

00:34:18.540 of prosecuted crimes okay from 2015 to 2022 it's just crashing like the police are basically not

00:34:29.320 prosecuting crimes anymore well and i think that's because a lot of the attorneys general

00:34:33.760 are saying stop they're telling them to give people an idea how big of a difference this is

00:34:40.040 from from 2015 to 2022 okay so this is the the clearance rates for various crimes so the total

00:34:46.820 number went from 17 to 6 assault without injury went from 16 to 3 assault with injury went from 25

00:34:57.060 to 5 public fear alarm or distress went from 26 to 3 shoplifting went from 36 to 14 harassment went from

00:35:08.500 28 to 4 stalking went from 35 to 5 it's basically not being prosecuted anymore if you look at something

00:35:17.000 like residential burglary 10 to 4 in every case it's more than a 50 drop in many cases you're talking

00:35:23.360 about like an 80 to 90 drop well and we had this realization when a crime was committed against

00:35:28.940 our business at one point and two years ago and it was we're like it was it was a pretty big deal and

00:35:36.400 we went to all the authorities to try to prosecute it and it was very like it was super clearly

00:35:43.180 documented tell them who did it we like had the name of the person we had this is like everything

00:35:47.980 yeah we had their bank details yeah and nothing happened couldn't get a single response and then

00:35:53.780 of course after hearing all these stories about you know people being stabbed in san francisco

00:35:57.360 regularly friends we know who lived there and things things of that sort we're like well okay so

00:36:02.440 we live in a world in which we cannot expect protection which is interesting because that feels

00:36:11.520 like it's the beginning of a collapse of society i mean isn't that what the government does

00:36:16.800 of a vehicle for example like if your car got stolen that went from nine percent to two percent

00:36:22.720 so it was already pretty low percent reduction and this is over a period of only um i want to say

00:36:30.680 seven years seven years it's like the mods are asleep and we haven't realized fully that they've

00:36:38.060 gone into sleep so society still kind of works but soon more and more people are going to start

00:36:45.820 exploiting this i it makes me nervous it does make me very nervous actually i really liked it in the

00:36:52.860 the asthma gold video where he was comparing what was happening at these restaurants he goes well you

00:36:57.420 know back in wow you know when you want a level you would go to you know outside the raid bosses because

00:37:02.160 there weren't the the big beds there and you could just farm xp and he goes and that's what these

00:37:06.940 people are doing they're just going out and farming xp on low level people are like they're not doing it in the

00:37:11.480 dangerous areas and he's like yeah of course like you're not gonna you're not they don't want to be

00:37:15.300 dangerous area you're gonna you can get the max xp for minimum danger you know and it smells good

00:37:20.740 and everyone is dressed nicely right them that not everybody can fit inside the restaurant that's why

00:37:26.280 you have these massive outdoor dining sheds like it's like no people do this in games right it's like

00:37:30.920 you go outside a dungeon and you farm the mobs outside the dungeon if you don't have a raid

00:37:34.680 like no i mean i get how it happens like it makes sense like and it's smart people did this

00:37:40.640 in scarlet monastery yeah exactly so i because there's like only one of them they're not as high

00:37:46.680 level that you don't have to go inside there yeah no of course try to steal two thousand dollars and

00:37:52.020 if you can steal two thousand dollars you're gonna try to steal five thousand dollars like duh

00:37:55.900 well of course you're leveling up yeah i mean if if i was a criminal i'd be like bro like

00:38:02.640 new patch we got a buff like let's go let's start farming all right so and this this gets

00:38:10.700 interesting as well so another reason the rate should be dropping if you're just looking at

00:38:13.720 broader statistics is aging every developed country has gotten significantly older since

00:38:17.880 the middle of the 20th that's true yeah of the age crime curve the vast majority of crime is committed

00:38:23.340 by young men this would be expected to drive crime down and i'm gonna put a graph on screen here

00:38:29.800 it is massively massively massively young men that can make the fact that climate disorder are several

00:38:36.060 times worse today than in the 1960s in most western societies albeit better than the 1990s

00:38:44.260 is a sign that something is very wrong now somebody might be like ultra low crime societies don't exist

00:38:51.000 and yet they do modern day singapore and japan are justifiably admired

00:38:56.660 for their extraordinarily low murder rates 0.1 out of 100k and 0.23 out of 100k respectively

00:39:03.400 and these murder rates reflect near zero levels of crime and disorder in society at large

00:39:08.980 this has massive benefits blue collar property and violent crime cost around 2.6 trillion dollars per year

00:39:15.840 about 12 percent of gdp in the united states 12 percent of gdp in the united states is going to cry

00:39:21.840 mind-blowing terrifying but this doesn't account for the massive lifestyle changes that people make

00:39:27.860 which simone was talking about earlier in japan and singapore you can go wherever you want alone

00:39:31.840 at night leave children unattended travel however you want no need to stick to sealed off cars leave

00:39:37.360 expensive possessions unsecure in public areas and live anywhere you can afford with corresponding cost

00:39:42.780 of living benefits no urban cores are hollowed out by crimes this means shorter commutes better

00:39:48.120 amenities and more efficient use of land but these two wealthy aged east asian societies are not the

00:39:55.380 only ultra low crime societies to exist mid-century england had about four times the homicide rate of

00:40:01.540 modern japan which given advances in medical care implies it had similar levels of crime and disorder

00:40:07.400 this was an average age of 34 15 years younger than the median japanese person today so to understand how

00:40:17.440 impressive the middle ages were or like middle-aged england right it had similar low crime rates but a much

00:40:26.040 younger population which should have made higher crime rates and it's not just england other parts of

00:40:33.280 post-war western europe also had extremely low levels of crime 1950 to 1974 uh this however i think

00:40:40.140 is cheesing it the middle ages okay i see that actually it's not cheesing it oh actually they both

00:40:45.620 had the same explanation war war is very good at reducing crime rates so of course i'm going to look

00:40:51.440 up to see if there's any statistics on this and i found one study that showed an 18 reduction in

00:40:56.480 amounts of crime during war times which is less than i expected to be honest this is actually something

00:41:02.400 that in the middle ages we see a monarchy talking about because right here he's like oh yeah post-war

00:41:07.800 united states the crime rates dropped it's like yeah because everybody who has like this criminal

00:41:11.960 sort of drive in them to go out and kill and mug and it's ultra aggressive ends up dying in wars

00:41:17.060 or getting it out of their system or turning it into a career you know but in the middle ages there

00:41:23.200 were periods where they went significant time periods without war and people noticed that crime rates

00:41:27.680 rose significantly during those periods so are you saying our solution is just just war should we

00:41:34.100 should we have hunger games but just for 20 something men yeah they'd do it they'd do it if

00:41:42.000 there were voluntary hunger games for 20 something men i get famous like on tiktok for doing it yeah

00:41:47.220 yeah yeah yeah yeah well i mean didn't mr beast get in trouble for the this whole like squid game

00:41:52.100 thing where a bunch of people went and did a bunch of stuff that i guess sounds really unpleasant but

00:41:57.300 because you know you could i'm sure i don't care i just want to watch a bunch of like angry 20 year

00:42:02.420 olds who might be stealing my car murder each other like i think that'd be fantastic i think they

00:42:07.080 would enjoy it too a lot of them a lot of people genuinely that is one thing i'm gonna push for

00:42:11.780 you know we have dual laws on the books in this country i would watch it it would all be

00:42:17.300 voluntary oh my gosh yeah is there research on whether duels when they were legal and there was

00:42:23.400 a system for them reduced i don't know we'll say like unstructured or spontaneous crime oh i'm

00:42:30.140 certain they did yeah i mean what are duels but like a structured excuse for a crime of passion

00:42:35.320 like oh you slept with my wife okay let's duel you know it wasn't even that would be like you dissed me

00:42:41.960 let's do this is often pretty bad post-war western european countries are among the safest on earth

00:42:51.020 comparable to much older much wealthier and much more forensically sophisticated modern japan

00:42:55.660 there's no technical reason why western european societies today shouldn't be this safe and reap the

00:43:01.080 benefits beyond a lack of will there is a reason there's genetic reasons like if they want to talk

00:43:06.560 about like hbd or whatever i mean we can talk about the white populations that my ancestors came

00:43:11.940 from in the united states and these were very murderous populations they murdery yeah famously

00:43:18.860 murdery and i think that what they might be confusing is looking at across america population

00:43:26.780 samples from these periods where certain communities in america during this time had

00:43:31.000 really low crime rates the puritan communities of new england had incredibly low crime rates uh the

00:43:37.480 german immigrant communities that like the midland areas and the quakers had low crime rates

00:43:41.900 but the greater appellation communities had really high crime rates there's there's one of my

00:43:47.480 favorites from american nations they were talking about how the there was like a class of men in

00:43:53.020 these communities that would sharpen their nails to be like i think that was actually an albion seed

00:43:57.980 maybe both of them talked about it where they took pride in yes having uniquely sharp nails so they

00:44:02.360 could gouge out people's eyes and brawls basically yeah yeah this is this is my eye gouging nail

00:44:09.080 this is my eye gouging finger so i couldn't find the exact quote from american nations just by googling

00:44:15.300 however i was able to find a fantastic vice article on this tradition titled rough and tumble the deeply

00:44:22.140 southern tradition of nose biting testicle ripping and eye gouging so and this is something that's been

00:44:27.840 largely forgotten that there was this really form of martial arts called rough and tumble that was

00:44:34.460 common in the greater appalachian region in america and just because this faction of american

00:44:39.940 culture was never a dominant cultural faction in terms of media production or involvement in the arts

00:44:47.000 we don't remember how common it was or how developed this method of fighting was i said to quote the

00:44:52.800 article here in 1806 englishman thomas ash wrote an account of his visit to wheeling virginia where

00:45:00.200 he witnessed a fight between two working class men that he would remember for the rest of his life

00:45:04.640 the men one from kentucky and one from virginia argued over who had a better horse a somewhat

00:45:09.580 standard debate in the booze-filled outskirts of small towns not willing to acquiesce to a difference

00:45:15.440 of opinion the men along with the englishman ash and a large portion of the town took off to a track

00:45:21.900 to test the speed of the two bees apparently the race was inconclusive but the two men unwilling to

00:45:27.560 end their feud challenged each other to a fight they agreed to quote tear and rend in quote rather

00:45:33.920 than quote unquote fight fair ash watched in astonishment as the virginian took the kentuckian

00:45:39.600 to the ground and from a mounted position grasped his hair and stuck his eyes down the man's eye

00:45:44.560 stockets but the kentuckian recovered and rolled the virginian off of him once on top the kentuckian

00:45:51.480 leaned over and bit the nose off the man for virginia but the fight was not over the man for

00:45:56.300 virginia took the kentuckian's lower lip between his teeth and ripped it down to its his chin then the

00:46:01.520 fight was over the man for virginia sans nose was carried off in victory while the kentuckian headed

00:46:07.060 to the doctor his eyes damaged from the attempted gouging and his torn lower lip lay flopping around his

00:46:13.240 chin this fight was not an anomaly but rather a tradition of fighting that was particularly

00:46:18.220 common in rural parts of the southern united states in the 18th century rough and tumble was the name

00:46:24.380 given to no holds bar fighting in the southeast region of the newly formed america betting was

00:46:29.740 prevalent and rules non-existent contestants could kick down an opponent knee to the groin bite and even

00:46:36.280 scratch each other with fingernails sharpened for just such a purpose eye gouging became the ultimate

00:46:40.920 finish in rough and tumble was men being disfigured for life fingernails sharpened filed and coated in

00:46:47.300 wax dug into an opponent's eye socket attempting to literally rip out the eyeball and hold it aloft

00:46:52.460 before a screaming crowd and i should note that while it calls it the south it wasn't really in

00:46:58.360 the south it was in the rural appalachian region which i'll put a thing on the screen here as you can

00:47:03.140 tell from the states being mentioned here and this was common and even people you've likely heard of like

00:47:09.120 davy crockett who once quote i kept my thumb in his eye and was just going to give it a twist and

00:47:16.160 bring the peeper out like a twist like taking a gooseberry in a spoon in quote the point i'm trying

00:47:21.520 to make here is that i think this aporia piece creates a narrative in which a person could come

00:47:26.840 to believe that well medieval england was a mostly peaceful place and so what led to america becoming as

00:47:35.360 dangerous as it is today is the allowing in of immigrants or people from different ethnic or

00:47:43.380 national backgrounds where what i'm trying to point out is at least some of the groups of americans

00:47:47.860 specifically the groups that i come from the greater appalachian cultural region was settled by an

00:47:54.560 extremely extremely violent subpopulation on the outskirts of the english empire and has always been

00:48:03.940 a level of violence that is almost incomprehensible to the dominant cultural groups that ended up

00:48:10.840 creating a lot of our literature and stuff like that another fun thing i'd note here and this is

00:48:17.440 from a cracked article that talks about these sorts of immigrants before they left england it was pretty

00:48:24.280 common for audiences in the late 1800s to early 1900s to pelt the performers with deadly objects singers

00:48:30.800 actors or comics had only moments to win over the audience and depending on whether your act was

00:48:36.900 bombing the crowd had their own way of trying to kill you in london they threw pig bones in glaslow it

00:48:42.680 was known for throwing steel rivets but as long as it hurt and left a funny wound savage crowds didn't

00:48:48.820 really care dead cats and dogs were flung at the performers which is almost as fascinating as it is

00:48:54.940 monstrous were the cats killed on the way to the show just in case the band sucked were dead cats sold

00:49:00.420 there how did man ever survive an era however brief were animal corpses were used as a dislike button

00:49:07.060 very different from uh they they took a lot they gained a lot of status from it it was a good way to

00:49:12.560 gain status is go and ah to have this gnarled grizzly nail that has eye gunk under it from somebody else

00:49:19.640 do you like this visual yeah i'm not i'm not all right so they argue a different reason that this

00:49:28.580 is happening then i argue which is war war is a good way to get rid of people but i actually don't

00:49:32.440 hate their argument i think it's probably a big contributor to this well can't both be true but

00:49:37.520 let's present their argument lock them up this starts fortunately crime is an exceptionally

00:49:44.020 tractable problem because the overwhelming majority of crime is committed by a tiny minority of very

00:49:49.480 prolific offenders citation for instance in sweden one percent of people are responsible for 63 percent of

00:49:55.860 violent crime and conviction citation when i say citation just go to the original article this is

00:49:59.860 coming from and you can read the citations with about half of all convictions being accounted for

00:50:04.780 by people with three or more previous convictions so i'm going to read that again so people can really

00:50:11.000 grok that okay one percent of people are responsible for 63 percent of violent crime convictions

00:50:17.740 with about half of all convictions being accounted for by people with three or more previous convictions

00:50:24.980 if you permanently like the three strikes law permanently locked anyone up with three convictions

00:50:31.680 you would reduce the number of the amount of crime by half or send them to simone's mercenary penal

00:50:38.800 colony i haven't given up we'll talk about our mercenary penal colony plans in a second

00:50:42.440 you could cut violent crime in half by simply executing or imprisoning for life people with many previous

00:50:49.560 offenses the united states is similar with more than 75 percent of people in u.s prisons having five or more arrests

00:50:57.480 75 percent of people in our prison alone people are like our prison system is like lax

00:51:03.360 or that it's imprisoning the wrong people this is just like factually not this also makes the prospect of

00:51:09.480 going to prison terrifying because this is people who are severely severely messed up or

00:51:16.780 yeah people in prison 75 percent of them have been arrested five other times do you know how hard

00:51:22.400 it is to get arrested five times well and the problem is that's not just them doing a bad

00:51:27.480 five times it's them getting caught five times so it's also just like this isn't these aren't the

00:51:32.940 smartest criminals i mean there are lots of people especially these days like anyone who's getting

00:51:37.860 to prison these days is well either they're committing you know like tax fraud or something

00:51:44.340 like yeah um they're not they're not actually you know what how many how many prior arrests people

00:51:50.400 have as a proportion of the prison population but it is absolutely enormous there are actually very

00:51:57.120 few people in prison that have only been arrested once when i say very few it looks like maybe like

00:52:02.020 three percent or two percent or something from this it is just rare to be in prison for only

00:52:07.680 having been arrested once yeah well but i think once you get arrested once it's it's kind of hard

00:52:12.800 to get reintegrated with society and you're more likely to get caught for more things but you know

00:52:18.320 yeah but what the point here being is that these individuals and also i just i mean there's something

00:52:25.440 about um the people who care for our kids have been in prison before and we're you know helping them get on

00:52:31.660 their feet like this happens like people help people that's the way the world is well and yeah

00:52:35.600 and it goes to show that like imprisonment happens and well also the circumstances that drive people

00:52:40.800 to commit crimes in some cases are genuinely out of their control and it just sucks like they've been

00:52:46.680 put well i mean you and i are determinists anyway you know we feel like everyone's kind of stuck in

00:52:52.060 their stupid place in the world's clockwork so yeah well yeah but that doesn't mean as a determinist i

00:52:57.880 believe people are responsible for their actions because their actions aren't due to random stuff

00:53:01.640 but due to their genetics and who they are and therefore who they are deserves full punishment

00:53:07.000 for anything they do um but to go further the same stylized fact whereby a teeny very criminal

00:53:13.600 minority commits the vast majority of crime also holds for non-violent offenses for instance 327 people

00:53:20.400 were responsible for a third of shoplifting arrests in new york city in 2022 327 people a third of

00:53:27.280 shoplifting arrests yeah i feel like there's some there's a movie concept in here you know the

00:53:32.000 320 they've been rearrested these 327 people 6 000 times

00:53:38.100 why are they still being released they probably just keep like a change of clothes in prison like

00:53:45.800 hey did you hold on to my toothbrush do you know like how much money hours it takes to arrest and

00:53:49.260 process a human being 6 000 times yeah that is a lot of taxpayer dollars they should just like keep a

00:53:56.320 locker for them these super criminals are well known to police by virtue of committing so many crimes

00:54:02.640 their guilt is not in doubt the only obstacles to executing or permanently imprisoning them

00:54:08.760 are legal and procedural most of these legal and procedural barriers citation were put in place

00:54:14.880 in the 1960s and 1970s citation as a natural consequence of politicians and judges citation

00:54:21.080 adopting a left-wing view of criminals as victims of society rather than the other way around i.e

00:54:27.920 because they believe that the criminals are just people who are in hard situations and can't get out

00:54:32.400 of it which isn't factually true these are people who have made crime intentionally their daily career

00:54:41.860 okay well and and that they specifically have been incentivized to do that they're doing that because

00:54:47.960 they're positively reinforced when they do it yeah if you it's our own fault doing it the rest of them

00:54:54.040 would stop yeah it's our own fault for making them into what they've become which is is is even worse

00:54:58.640 you know it's these could have been good people with jobs that help other people and because of the

00:55:05.960 way that we are prosecuting crimes we have driven them to be people who hurt other people when really

00:55:11.960 like i think a significant proportion of these people if not the majority of these people would

00:55:17.980 otherwise be doing stuff that helps other people ultimately it's yeah annoying remove these barriers

00:55:24.080 and return to punishing criminals quickly surely and harshly with a focus on incapacitation or

00:55:29.640 execution citation not rehabilitation and crime can be brought quickly under control and here they

00:55:36.900 have proof of this in el salvador so el salvador tried this it stopped trying to rehabilitate criminals

00:55:42.700 right here they say el salvador is an extraordinary recent example of this having reduced the murder rate

00:55:47.840 by 98 percent simply by locking up well-known gang members el salvador had the state capacity to do

00:55:56.440 this at any time and so do we all it takes is the willingness to jettison pro-criminal procedural norms

00:56:02.840 invented within the past 70 years when you can look here are you saying that like an executive order

00:56:07.960 could do this like i'm just trying to figure out from a legal standpoint because i mean there are

00:56:12.500 you know laws about unfair imprisonment stuff like that in the united states i am i was president

00:56:19.360 i i feel a lot of presidents are a little capitalist in the way they play the game

00:56:24.700 um if for example we got into a trump administration i could figure out how to make this happen

00:56:30.880 simone you underestimate the tools at the disposal there's some like well-known ones like i'm gonna

00:56:39.380 declare a state of emergency we're gonna call this war you know i get that i'm just wondering

00:56:44.560 other ones that are hugely underused you're just thinking like a bureaucrat because the people who

00:56:51.200 have tried to solve this before have always been bureaucrats and they haven't been ruthless people like

00:56:56.040 me you can see my video on uh getting addicted to chat ai bots for how i like to break systems

00:57:00.380 the easy one that the u.s president isn't using is his pardon power specifically you just say

00:57:07.320 for example blanket pardon on police doing certain things

00:57:12.260 on oh uh basically who as a president can make anything you like i will pardon i will remember

00:57:21.680 what what nation was it it was basically like any citizen now has the right to shoot someone who did

00:57:27.620 i can't remember what do you remember this she's thinking of the philippines and duterte i didn't

00:57:32.500 hear her say this i wasn't able to say this in the in the recording but yeah the philippines and

00:57:36.240 duterte said anyone involved with drug trafficking or drug use could be executed for example like

00:57:40.740 during this the some of the like banking crisis and stuff like that when it was obvious that the

00:57:44.740 heads of the bank had just screwed over tons and tons of people and we had no system for legally

00:57:48.780 handling it i probably would have just said anyone who kills these guys free party just like put out

00:57:55.380 a hit basically and uh yeah a promise oh god well i mean technically with the caveat here of course

00:58:04.040 that however they did it needed to make it a federal crime rather than a state crime because

00:58:08.220 the president cannot pardon people for state crimes also it should be clear here how lucky i am to have

00:58:13.620 somebody like simone to moderate my impulses in terms of severity one of our followers was like they

00:58:19.620 love that malcolm always gets angry and really aggressive about things but they also love that simone

00:58:24.240 is always talking me back from my extremist positions as she likely would if i ever actually

00:58:29.120 held office people are they may underestimate like yeah i mean so i guess i'm trying to think the

00:58:34.860 opposition would then try the opposition would try to impeach you and i think that there would be

00:58:38.960 enough powerful connections at play depending on who you're attacking no there wouldn't oh my god

00:58:43.000 if it's if it's the leaders of the banking industry in the united states if you took out after losing

00:58:49.840 billions of dollars and keep in mind billions of dollars you can translate dollars to death

00:58:53.620 yeah you remove i think it's something like i can't remember something like every half a million

00:58:58.980 dollars you remove from the economy somebody is dying functionally speaking because that money was

00:59:03.500 removed billions of dollars is killing more people than the biggest mass murderers in our country's

00:59:09.580 history it's 9 11 attacks style murders and this is done regularly by white collar criminals and they

00:59:17.780 need to understand that there are consequences for this uh in the same way that in china corruption is

00:59:24.160 sometimes punished with extreme you know executions and stuff like that and i think in the united states

00:59:29.140 these people just feel like there's no consequences their companies are so big the government's going to bail

00:59:34.280 them out blah blah blah they'll always be ultra wealthy no matter what no matter who they abuse no matter who

00:59:38.780 they hurt and you're like oh then the lefties would come and try and impeach you do you know how

00:59:44.560 effing bad that's going to look to the electorate if the lefties are standing up for the big bankers who

00:59:50.660 lost billions of dollars for the the individual americans who expected a golden parachute i know i'm just

00:59:59.860 saying that those really really wealthy bankers with a target on their backs have a lot of connections

01:00:05.520 that would be financially incentivized to try to impeach you as president right but what i think you are

01:00:14.080 missing because we have seen this as people who have played in the political space and have played in

01:00:18.720 the broader american like how to change the world space money does not give you that much power you you get

01:00:27.540 a marginal additional increase in power but the truth is is power i don't know man i think this may change

01:00:34.520 but the way that our elections work now i i do think that having more money is important no they

01:00:43.400 could go and and this is the problem that you're missing here right yeah so what you're assuming is

01:00:48.920 what the bankers are going to be able to do is go to politicians and say i gave you money in x campaign

01:00:55.780 listen to me and impeach them right here's the problem simone um most of the heads of the banking

01:01:02.340 system haven't been giving money to everyone they've been giving money to people in strategic

01:01:07.300 races party politics they just don't have the cachet you're like well maybe they could go to all of their

01:01:15.060 rich friends who do have the cachet but what you're missing here is that the rich friends who bought that

01:01:21.100 cachet did it with company dollars for company purposes so for example they can't go to the head of

01:01:28.300 shell and say use shells lobbying group to put pressure on them because shells lobbying group

01:01:34.700 exists for specific projects for specific reasons it's not a general in the pocket of the ceo lobbying

01:01:42.380 group okay they would find themselves very quickly with no power the only power that the ultra wealthy

01:01:49.140 have is in terms of blackmail i.e epstein other than that no and people are underestimating the

01:01:55.920 president's ability to make these kinds of massive changes now here's the challenge people are going

01:02:02.280 to say well what about false positives you can't be you can't just like go executing criminals

01:02:05.880 and this is the problem with executing criminals we make it too expensive in the united states

01:02:09.640 you get the you know all these retrials all of these you know death row stuff yeah i think that

01:02:14.620 the cost of executing someone is it's it's way way higher for life right oh yeah for sure by it by a long

01:02:21.500 shot i think like by many times over it's it's it's just punitive at this point which which really

01:02:26.280 means you know we need to develop and i think you know if elon gets this efficiency department down

01:02:32.100 we need to develop a more efficient form of mass execution you know for repeat repeat criminals of

01:02:40.080 violent crimes that's what i think and not for all crimes repeat violent criminals okay so what you want

01:02:45.500 to bring out the death the death vans the execution vans yes man that's what china does they use that

01:02:51.760 for like thought crime i think you need to be very clear this needs to whenever i hear thought crime

01:02:56.420 i just picture like a dead seat woman so bad but the the the the the violent crime when people hear

01:03:04.560 this what they're thinking about okay and this is really important is they're thinking about the

01:03:11.460 individual who might be executed and they're not thinking about the people that individual kills

01:03:16.280 or grapes or you know it's it's easy to say give that individual a second chance

01:03:23.760 when it's not your daughter who ends up getting graped as a result of that there was a case of this

01:03:31.660 where asmogold actually was was joking about this and he was like it's her fault that this happened to her

01:03:36.260 where this man murdered this girl's mother and then this girl went in with this like holier

01:03:41.400 than thou attitude of like oh i forgive everyone you know we need to learn to blah blah blah the

01:03:47.700 guy murders her as well she's just dumb as a bag of bricks and it's not just that they're dumb

01:03:53.000 they're dumb in a way that hurts other people when they insist on this persistent forgiveness policy

01:03:58.900 they end up putting other people my people my family at risk my daughter's at risk okay and as he was

01:04:07.700 saying is it not better that they're dying for their their because it's not just naivety what

01:04:14.440 are they putting other people's at life's at risk for they're putting them at risk so they can feel like

01:04:20.060 a good guy so they can feel like they are an uncomplicated protagonist and he's absolutely right about that

01:04:26.800 they are villainous in a way that is not as villainous as the murderers but it is high villainous

01:04:36.340 levels the degree to which they just don't care about the damage that they are causing they just

01:04:44.340 don't care about the girls who get graped because they insist on this forgiveness mindset for more color

01:04:51.420 on the case that was being mentioned here the case involved travis lewis who murdered sally snowden

01:04:57.720 mckay 75 during a burglary and then her daughters advocated for him to be released early from prison

01:05:05.920 citing her buddhist belief system and then gave him an employment and he ended up murdering her after she

01:05:14.600 fired him thinking that he was stealing money from her which he was and people can be like oh you know

01:05:20.560 how great is that yeah well what if she hadn't been the one who hired him what if it had been one of

01:05:23.980 my family members okay when you advocate for things like this when you advocate for these ultra lenient

01:05:29.800 policies around crime you are an accomplice to the murders that end up happening to facilitate

01:05:38.240 the masturbation of your ego or the i mean for example this is why you know if somebody has like

01:05:45.800 actually assaulted you you it's important to report this because by the time it gets reported

01:05:52.220 they've already done it to five other people on average right now um these people are repeat repeat

01:05:59.420 repeat repeat repeat offenders but anyway the reason why people are afraid of this oh think of the

01:06:04.720 criminal they're afraid of false positives right so then it goes on to say the most common objection to

01:06:09.600 quicker sure harsher sentencing and especially the death penalty is that it will lead to more innocent

01:06:14.080 men being punished on utilitarian grounds this might be justifiable citation but people tend to be

01:06:21.600 suspicious of this sort of reasoning fortunately however a stricter regime does not necessarily

01:06:26.880 imply more false positives for the following reasons one most crime is committed by well-known

01:06:32.920 prolific criminals when dealing with someone who's already committed dozens of assaults you're not at risk

01:06:38.440 of accidentally punishing an innocent man these people's guilt is not substantively in doubt the fact

01:06:45.280 that they are free to commit crimes to begin with is damning lower crime rates mean more resources can be

01:06:53.200 devoted to each crime the american system cannot afford to exhaustively investigate and prosecute more

01:06:59.760 than a tiny fraction of crimes leading to a reliance on plea bargains if american crime rates were 4x lower

01:07:05.700 as they were two generations ago we could afford to be much more careful when dealing with each

01:07:10.720 individual crime three lower crime rates mean fewer absolute false positives imagine that the japanese

01:07:17.300 justice system had 10 times the false positive rate of the american the united states has around 50 times

01:07:23.480 the murder rate of japan so japan would still have only one half the number of false convictions per

01:07:29.300 murder per capita as such a quicker sure harsher criminal justice regime would be expected to lead

01:07:37.360 to fewer false positives not more it may be better that 10 guilty men go free than one innocent man be

01:07:42.700 punished but that's why we should be tougher on crime so be harsher and i do agree with this on repeat

01:07:51.320 criminals and i would even be willing like if i was president and i was pushing for a bill

01:07:55.220 i'd be willing to push for a bill that or a governor because really you have to do this at the state

01:08:01.120 level that lowered the punishment for the most severe crimes in our society i.e made it so that

01:08:08.220 you don't get the death penalty for premeditated murder but increase the punishment for multiple

01:08:13.980 violent crimes i.e you do get the death penalty as soon as you've been implicated in three assaults

01:08:22.100 and if you did that the reduction in crime would be astronomical but i think with these extreme

01:08:27.920 types of punishments you one have to be very clear they have to be violent crimes okay and two you have

01:08:34.180 to be very clear that they must be repeated violent crimes but as soon as you get a repeat of violent

01:08:39.700 crime you're just going to get it over and over again and there is really nothing you can do about

01:08:45.340 these individuals and i loved asthma gold's reaction to how to solve crime in new york and i like this as

01:08:51.200 well one make it easy to get the the concealed carry permanent in new york and two make it legal

01:08:58.620 you know how in the u.s and pennsylvania and stuff like that we have stand your ground laws and i'd

01:09:02.060 actually push that you are allowed to shoot a fleeing suspect if they have robbed you um because

01:09:09.280 right now in most states even states with stand your ground laws and stuff like that if you were able

01:09:12.640 to shoot them when they ran away it'd be no problem that's what you should be able to do i think

01:09:19.340 if somebody tries to rob you you should be able to shoot them absolutely can't shoot someone fleeing

01:09:25.420 in my opinion if you're stealing somebody's shit and you're running off with it and somebody shoots

01:09:30.580 you nice shot if somebody comes and they rob you or they steal your car or they you know as soon as

01:09:35.860 they're back in turn and they're running away with what they stole you can't do anything about it

01:09:39.180 um because you cannot shoot their they're like is their life worth less than the stuff they stole from

01:09:44.640 you and i'm like yeah it is it is because it's not just the stuff they stole from me it's the crimes

01:09:49.740 they're going to commit in the future especially if they're doing this knowing that people might

01:09:53.800 defend themselves and i think that what people are missing here and this is also i want to say true

01:09:59.040 of not just this but i want to say grapes you are allowed to shoot a grapist when they are leaving

01:10:03.800 your house it doesn't matter that they have their back turned to you i think that we are way too much

01:10:08.940 of a stickler on that point i think that there are certain crimes that so i feel where this gets

01:10:13.320 difficult is i could just shoot a random guy who may have been you know alone in my house there's no

01:10:20.920 witnesses there's no cameras there's no nothing and be like oh yeah he tried to rape me not tried to

01:10:27.560 oh sorry he did rape me but like but this is the point here is you just make then the the the

01:10:34.180 the justification of proof really high and you're like that would never work but actually it does work

01:10:38.680 you can do rape kits pretty easily okay so i i i seduce a guy i i voluntary sex does not create

01:10:46.540 the same terror patterns rape creates you can tell the difference with a rape kit so no and generally

01:10:53.580 speaking where these instances would come into play is people robbing someone in public or graping

01:10:59.320 someone in public or you know you you just these wouldn't be focused on these like oh maybe maybe not

01:11:07.500 incidences you would write it into law where it's very like maybe you have to have multiple witnesses

01:11:12.460 or something like that but i think that we need to be much harsher in both the ability to allow people

01:11:18.480 to react to crimes and this this mindset of well but you know they're not currently in the act of

01:11:26.240 committing the crime or blah blah blah a you know all of this nonsense where in like in australia this

01:11:31.820 has happened where criminals have been able to sue landlords because they've gotten hurt on their

01:11:35.320 property while they were stealing stuff oh well they're no that happened to the u.s too yeah it's

01:11:40.840 happened in some u.s states we need to create laws that strip someone of human rights while they are

01:11:48.420 committing crimes if it is unassailable that they are committing a crime and and and specifically here

01:11:54.860 i mean property crimes and violent crimes and and i think that where i am very strong in my

01:12:02.820 delineation of crime types when i say property crimes i'm going to be clear here property crimes

01:12:08.000 against individuals so i do not think that companies should have the right to do this you

01:12:12.940 wouldn't steal a handbag you wouldn't steal a car you wouldn't steal a baby you wouldn't shoot a

01:12:18.920 policeman and then steal his helmet downloading films is stealing if you do it you will face the

01:12:27.520 consequences but i think individuals if it's your car if it's your house but if a warehouse is being

01:12:37.720 broken into or a store is being broken into i don't think that the use of lethal force is justified

01:12:42.280 but i think that once you create these laws it becomes much easier i would would i say for

01:12:50.100 sole proprietorships yes for sole proprietorships i'd say lethal like so i.e i own a shop all by myself

01:12:56.140 or my family owns a shop that's different from a chain owned store or something like that

01:13:00.280 and i'd also say that these crimes differ as well from intellectual crimes like i.e intellectual

01:13:07.820 property theft and stuff like that which is really about corporate profits and not about specifically

01:13:13.220 targeting individuals which is just you know a ridiculous thing to me and i think that as a society

01:13:19.140 we have normalized the targeting of individuals at this point for a specific class of people they just

01:13:24.960 don't have any shame in doing this

01:13:26.720 but thought simone

01:13:30.400 well i don't know if i do exactly what you suggest but yeah i mean something needs to be done i i i you

01:13:39.880 know i'm still for penal colonies i really hate the idea of describe your colony idea of well if someone

01:13:45.660 can't play nice with society here as it is then just ship them off to somewhere where they're around

01:13:52.060 other rule breakers like them and they can all break rules together and that's that's my idea i i feel

01:13:57.240 like it's to me it feels a lot more fair i have your penal colony for profit idea yeah my penal colony for

01:14:03.540 profit idea is for those who participate in this system and would like to also have an interesting

01:14:10.340 life with maybe some some higher upside benefits join a penal colony that also serves as a mercenary unit

01:14:17.020 where you know you you go and you then become a mercenary basically she wants to create like

01:14:23.580 floating cities or isolated parts in like northern alaska where everyone there is a repeat offender

01:14:31.200 but they are able to try to create structure of life for themselves yeah i.e start businesses

01:14:37.820 run things etc yeah they just can't leave the location yeah this becomes really important for people

01:14:44.480 addicted to certain types of drugs really important for repeat offenders because it creates a system

01:14:48.900 where they don't need to be executed and always have a chance of rehabilitation well and you know for

01:14:53.860 some people i kind of think about it similarly to different types of kids right like a lot of kids

01:14:59.880 you know a stern talking to is enough to you know sit them in the corner or just tell them that

01:15:04.940 it's it's not okay and let's have let's talk about how you hurt my feelings you know and other kids

01:15:09.160 like ours respond to bops right you know like knock it off slap upside the head and i feel like a lot

01:15:16.060 of people need a bop based society you know they don't respond to this you hurt my feelings based

01:15:22.220 society that we live in and therefore they need to be moved to a bop based society where there are

01:15:28.120 you know public hangings and there's the whipping post in the square and in that world they will do a lot

01:15:33.720 better and i just you know like it's sort of you can sort for people who need that more extreme form

01:15:38.920 of punishment and if they all live together in society it might be a sufficiently ordered society

01:15:43.480 well at the same time you're not really subjecting those who don't need that form of punishment

01:15:47.840 to what would for them be overly cruel and genuinely terrible and unwarranted and not effective so you know i

01:15:55.220 i sort of see i see discipline in that way like similar to the way we look at family-based discipline

01:16:02.860 which is look at the people look at their inherited traits look at their culture and give them what

01:16:08.020 they need all right love you too gorgeous

01:16:12.900 which one next uh the disappearing child in the city oh what okay that sounds scary

01:16:24.260 okay okay i'm sending it shortly and recording somebody tweeted at us an image saying is this a

01:16:32.320 techno puritan click over on whatsapp and you'll see what okay you click over on whatsapp

01:16:38.380 i linked to their tweet there

01:16:42.020 yes

01:16:46.600 yes

01:16:48.920 i'll put it i'll put it i'll put it in the episode at the end that's a cute tweet

01:16:58.620 it is made me laugh and lulled oh i've gotta get the notes up so we're ready to go

01:17:07.900 i'm so stiff in in like personal situations that there was this period where i caught myself just saying

01:17:18.400 lull when i thought something was funny in social situations and i was like oh whoops i forgot i need

01:17:24.700 to performatively laugh instead of just say lull we need to practice i need you to develop better

01:17:33.740 social skills

01:17:34.600 all right all right

01:17:38.640 that's good

01:17:50.020 that's good

01:17:50.640 you

01:17:50.800 that's good

01:17:52.880 but i think that that's a big question

01:17:55.640 right
