00:01:07.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:52.000William from Mount Prospect, Illinois, I know it very well, said, Charlie, I'm trying to explain to my friends what Mayor Johnson just did, removing some sort of gunshot detection technology.
00:02:05.000Can you help me understand, love the show?
00:02:53.000Now, why is audio detection of gunshots racist?
00:03:00.000Well, Mayor Johnson, who is overseeing one of the bloodiest, most dangerous cities in the Northern Hemisphere, he says it's racist because police have to go into black and Latino neighborhoods so often.
00:03:15.000Okay, so why do they have to go into black and Latino neighborhoods?
00:03:21.000Before I answer that very obvious question, what Mayor Johnson has to answer is, well, who are the victims typically, though?
00:03:33.000The perps are usually black or Latino, and the victims are usually black and Latino.
00:03:39.000This is one of the reasons why on this program, we are so forcefully against configuring policy, language decisions, vocabulary, all against the threat of being called racist.
00:03:55.000We say quite often that the power of the R-word can be used to destroy your society.
00:04:04.000In the city of Chicago, it is quite common just right now, year to date, just since New Year's, 40 shot and killed in Chicago, 192 shot and killed, 232 total shot, and 47 total homicides.
00:04:17.000By the way, the vast majority of these murders go unsolved.
00:05:09.000And America got a picture into what happens in Chicago every single day at the Kansas City Super Bowl celebration where they just spray and pray.
00:05:21.000And I believe a young woman died because of it.
00:05:24.000And, you know, the ESPN says, oh, it's a dispute.
00:05:27.000Oh, is that what we call gang-related violence now?
00:05:32.000This is going to make Chicago even less safe, further empower the gangs and the criminals, all because we're supposed to care about the R-word.
00:05:46.000This is one of the reasons why I'm so fervent, because I see where this is headed.
00:05:50.000They will reconfigure all of society under the guise of racism.
00:06:01.000First question, if the city isn't considering a gunshot detection alternative to ShotSpotter, then what should replace it?
00:06:07.000Will it still be a form of surveillance technology?
00:06:10.000As I've said, my plan and my vision for the city of Chicago is comprehensive.
00:06:17.000Investing in people is our best pathway forward.
00:06:22.000And so I don't want us to fall into the trap in the behavior of old, where we only look at policing as the only form to build a better, stronger, safer Chicago.
00:06:54.000Yeah, they might be on EBT and they might have benefits and subsidized housing, but you can't really blame them because they're poor and that's what poor people do.
00:07:02.000How insulting to the working poor of this country that have not committed crimes and did the right thing.
00:07:08.000How many of you are currently in the working poor?
00:07:11.000How many of you are temporarily in the working poor?
00:07:14.000Number two, how many of you had parents in the working poor?
00:07:16.000How many of you had grandparents in the working poor that never committed crimes and kept your head down and paid your taxes and went to work?
00:07:24.000This is one of the great divides in the country and Mayor Johnson is playing right into it.
00:07:28.000Instead of penalizing the criminal, he feels sympathy with the criminal because, oh, it's because he didn't have enough money.
00:07:50.000ShotSpotter alerts police departments to gunshots fired through acoustic sensors.
00:07:56.000That company took a stock hit Tuesday after Mayor Brandon Johnson announced he would fulfill a campaign promise and give the company a six-month extension, but then not renew their deal.
00:08:08.000The mayor's announcement before he had a deal signed with the company.
00:08:13.000The city has lost all its leverage when you make an announcement that you're canceling ShotSpotter and extending it until September without having a signed contract.
00:08:23.000This is a great loss for the city of Chicago, particularly as we prepare to go into the summer months and as we go into a Democratic National Convention already with a police department that is undersized by at least 2,000 officers.
00:08:39.000If you want crime to go up, this is what you'll do.
00:13:16.000It was the only good thing that came out of COVID: the gangbangers were more afraid of COVID than they were of getting shot out in the side of the street.
00:13:24.000It's like the murder rate for like 30 days went down to next to nothing because no one knew what COVID was.
00:13:46.000So ShotSpotter, the way it works, is they have this audio detection system in these areas.
00:13:51.000They hear a gunshot, something that can be easily detected, and immediately pops up on the Chicago Police Department's radar and they can respond and they can send ambulatory services.
00:14:02.000They can send police and they can help.
00:14:29.000Investing in people is our best pathway forward.
00:14:33.000Other technological advances, you know, that I may not be aware of that provide a non-police response to respond to emergency because 40% of the calls that come through are mental health crises.
00:14:49.000There could be some forms of technology that can give us a response so that EMT can show up and mental health crisis providers can show up.
00:15:03.000And so I don't want us to fall into the trap in the behavior of old, where we only look at policing as the only form to build a better, stronger, safer Chicago.
00:15:26.000And I think it's very, very fitting that the Democrat convention will be held in Chicago.
00:15:37.000I think it's fitting that the Democrats have chosen a once beautiful, majestic place that is now a hellhole as the place where they try to make the pitch to the American people for four more years.
00:15:53.000I think it's perfect that the Democrats are in a place where 75% of murders go unsolved, where there are 500 people murdered every single year, where they can't find entire kids, the entire schools, they can't find a kid that can read at grade level.
00:16:08.000Homelessness and crime and property taxes, income taxes, people leaving the state in droves.
00:18:10.000Okay, I'm by no means an expert on this, but Elon Musk has recently tweeted about this, and I think it's really interesting.
00:18:15.000Quote, Elon Musk said the following: Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression, and triples risk of suicide.
00:18:21.000This is a clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.
00:18:26.000This is true, that there are a lot of negative side effects to hormonal birth control.
00:18:30.000It makes women more likely to get on antidepressants, makes women more likely to have suicidal ideation.
00:18:36.000It does deal and mess with your ability to stay at a healthy weight.
00:18:40.000And hormonal birth control is being ditched.
00:18:43.000Many fathers and parents don't know this, but the hormonal birth control is partially about birth control, but it's also about, oh, you don't need to have your period or you have acne.
00:18:52.000It is a catch-all for all the puberty anxiety that young ladies might be feeling.
00:18:58.000And again, I'm a man and I know I believe in male-female differences deeply.
00:19:02.000So I'm not going to say in any, like, let's just say, decisive way that I could tell you from a personal experience or perspective.
00:19:11.000But there is study after study to reinforce this.
00:19:13.000And we will have Alex Clark on the program next week to speak about this on the program.
00:19:20.000I think you guys will really appreciate and enjoy that.
00:19:44.000So they got rid of the SAT a couple years ago.
00:19:46.000This is an article written by Jill Flipovich, Filipovich, journalist and author behind the book, Okay, Boomer, Let's Talk How My Generation Got Left Behind.
00:19:57.000She's a far left-wing activist, and she embraces all the talking points you would imagine.
00:20:03.000So Dartmouth College will reinstate its policy of requiring applicants to submit the SAT.
00:20:08.000They got rid of it for a while all around inequality.
00:20:13.000This is what Jill says: quote, there's no question that students who are white or Asian or from wealthy families generally score higher on the SAT than those who are black, Hispanic, or poor.
00:20:23.000For that reason, many progressives, including myself, have historically looked at the SAT with deep skepticism, seeing the test as a tool for reinforcing inequality.
00:20:31.000The problem, though, is that this experiment in getting rid of the test, coupled with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that forbids schools from taking student race into account in admissions, may be even worse.
00:20:43.000They're scrambling trying to figure out how they can keep the race hustle going at these Ivy League schools.
00:20:50.000What's happening behind the scenes is that there's a ton of ridiculously unqualified people who are let into these top schools, and faculty is freaking out.
00:20:58.000We're getting leaked emails and text messages.
00:21:01.000We're getting a lot of incoming from people because we know a lot of people that are attached to these universities.
00:21:07.000And even liberal faculty are saying, there are people here in my class who can barely read.
00:22:01.000Jill Flipovich, she is conflating white and wealthy in this article time and time again.
00:22:08.000So MIT, Georgetown, and Dartmouth are all bringing it back after the Ivy Leagues have ditched it.
00:22:13.000Because what they discovered is when they did this, the kind of more, oh, tell us about your personality, all this other nonsense, is that it actually helped white and Asian kids even more.
00:22:26.000That's because without the SAT and with pervasive grade inflation, that means huge numbers of straight A students are applying to top schools, college admission officers are using softer, more personalized metrics, the kind that may be even easier for affluent students from more sophisticated families to game.
00:24:04.000Now, what you do with inequality is a different question.
00:24:07.000You have charity, you have generosity, benevolency, you build a society that lifts people up based on all sorts of different types of backgrounds.
00:24:14.000But if you have an institution where the mission statement is centered around excellence, which is what the Ivy Leagues are supposed to be, the best schools, the best students, the best breakthrough, the most important breakthroughs, you cannot have it centered on diversity.
00:24:29.000And if it does, it all of a sudden starts to collapse the institution from within, which is exactly what's happening in higher education.
00:25:30.000And so the way that the American economy is configured is you have a central bank that controls monetary policy, and then you have Congress or the government that controls fiscal policy.
00:25:39.000So an economy is centered on a combination of monetary, fiscal, and then the market.
00:26:12.000Now, I'm not a drinker, but allow this analogy.
00:26:16.000From what I understand, if you wake up with a hangover and you have liquor when you wake up, you could prolong the pain of the eventual hangover from setting in.
00:26:28.000I believe it's called hair of the dog.
00:26:30.000And so you wake up after a long night of drinking and you have another bloody Mary.
00:27:20.000I'm not trying to overly depress you, but we are doing, we are borrowing nearly $2 trillion on the fiscal side, and we are continuing massive quantitative easing.
00:30:45.000And he's had a really tough family situation with some medical thing.
00:30:48.000And I don't know why he got arrested at the award show, but I thought he handled it very well.
00:30:53.000And, you know, these white liberals, I suppose not all of them are white, but these white liberal women on The View is almost like a kind of a humiliation session.
00:31:02.000So again, I'm far from a rap aficionado, but Killer Mike is very popular.
00:31:08.000And he's an American rapper and activist.
00:31:10.000And you would expect that he would just kind of parrot the line.
00:32:17.000If Killer Mike is saying immigration is a major issue for black voters, that means that they're 100% looking at this from a conservative perspective.
00:32:27.000No one in the black community has liberal views on immigration.
00:33:09.000If I was Donald Trump, you know, I am going to advise him the best I can publicly and privately, and he knows this stuff much better than I do.
00:33:15.000But I would say, look, I think this is an attack vector where you can build this incredible coalition.
00:33:21.000And Killer Mike is broadcasting to you on the view.
00:33:40.000Not to say Trump's going to win the black vote.
00:33:42.000But if Trump does three points, four points, five points better in Wisconsin and Georgia, runs up the score in the conservative areas and does a little bit better in the suburbs, watch out.
