00:01:14.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:26.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:35.000There is a $1 trillion bill laying on the sidewalk right now for Republicans.
00:01:41.000I got a phone call the other day from a Republican running for the U.S. Senate, let's just say in a very competitive race, and he was asking for my advice.
00:01:50.000I get phone calls like this all the time.
00:01:51.000I told you about a call like this last week.
00:02:30.000Inflation, private property rights, stock market, forget it.
00:02:35.000If you're afraid you are going to be murdered on the way to school, kidnapped, jogging in the morning before, as a teacher, are going to go teach your students, you're not living in a free country anymore.
00:02:47.000And we've been warning against the bubbling up of this crime wave in America for quite some time.
00:02:51.000It just seems right now as summer is ending and we're entering fall, it's hitting a crescendo.
00:02:59.000Republicans out there are saying, How do we jumpstart our campaigns?
00:03:03.000Well, you got to start to recognize and realize that the media is going to call you racist no matter what you do.
00:03:10.000And that there is anxiety in all communities, black community, Latino community, the Asian community, every community, about what's happening with crime in America.
00:03:21.000We're going to do an overview of what is driving the crime wave because I think there's a missing piece, which is the why.
00:05:29.000It's such a tragedy of what's happened here.
00:05:34.000And of course, it is the story of Eliza or Liza Fletcher, a kindergarten teacher and a mother of two, went for a jog at 4:30 in the morning.
00:05:46.000She was kidnapped last week while running near the University of Memphis.
00:05:51.000She was kidnapped, forced into a van, and then murdered by a thug, Cleotha Abstin-Henderson, served already 20 years of a 24-year sentence for kidnapping another victim at gunpoint before he was released in 2020.
00:06:09.000Did not serve his entire prison sentence.
00:06:12.000Surveillance footage has shown Fletcher, a teacher and granddaughter of late billionaire, being violently forced into a GMC SUV while she was jogging at 4 a.m. on Friday.
00:06:23.000We are now living in a country where if you are a woman, I would not leave the house alone at night or in the morning.
00:06:30.000I'm not, this is the country you grew up in is over, and we're going to tell you why.
00:06:34.000It's not just because criminals feel more emboldened, but the policies themselves have changed.
00:06:40.000Abstin, the thug, was busted the next day after DNA linked him to a pair of slides left near the kidnapping scene.
00:06:48.000To lose someone so young and vital is a tragedy, but to have it result from a senseless act of violence is unimaginable, the DA said.
00:07:16.000I welcome being held primarily responsible for lowering violent crime, but I do not have the authority over bonds, over state sentencing laws, over rehabilitation of people in prison.
00:07:33.000I need the public to hold other people accountable.
00:07:37.000Because I'm tired of our police officers arresting the same people over and over and over, and those people committing violent acts.
00:07:47.000I think the public's fed up with it too, but they need to let their voice be heard.
00:07:53.000So that's the Democrat mayor of Memphis who's just trying his best to save his job.
00:07:58.000Now he's blaming the state legislature and state sentencing laws.
00:08:09.000Well, last year, and no one is talking about this, but we dug it up, I don't know, with one Google search.
00:08:14.000And we don't know if this specific law impacted this, but it's interesting.
00:08:19.000Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee, who I've met and is a nice person, last May signed criminal justice reform, calling it monumental, monumental criminal justice reform.
00:08:36.000Tennessee Governor Bill Lee celebrated what he called a monumental day for his state and his term, signing two bills tied to his signature cause of criminal justice reform.
00:08:48.000Flanked by supporters, Lee formally signed into law measures to divert more people away from state prisons and to expand support services for people who are leaving prisons after serving their sentences.
00:09:02.000So I have a question, Governor Bill Lee.
00:09:05.000Did your support services and your help make this guy less likely to go kidnap and murder a teacher and a mother going for a job at 4 o'clock in the morning?
00:09:17.000The governor, when signing the criminal justice bill, struck a triumphant tone.
00:09:21.000Remember, this is a Republican governor with the Republican legislature, saying the new laws would help generations of Tennesseans.
00:09:28.000He predicted it would break cycles of crime and punishment and keep families intact.
00:09:34.000Quote, people given a chance can turn their lives around only if we have a system and a process that allows them to have that chance.
00:09:42.000Now, we don't know the intricacies of this particular release, but we do know this.
00:09:46.000The governor of Tennessee was going in the direction of trying to make it easier where criminals like him can get out.
00:09:54.000And then days later, mass shooting spree happens in Memphis.
00:09:59.000So in a state like Tennessee, where the governor should be tough on crime, Republican legislature, he's doing the opposite.
00:10:06.000Well, criminal justice reform has been very well funded by many different groups, left-wing groups, Soros, and others, to try to get a jailbreak operation, and Republicans are far too on board with it.
00:12:24.000Look, we talk about current events a lot on this show, but there's other things that are in life that are bigger than current events, bigger things.
00:12:30.000We try to do some shows every so often on these things.
00:12:33.000But look, what am I talking about when I say that?
00:12:36.000Right and wrong, prayer and the Bible or heaven and hell.
00:12:39.000So look, the great C.S. Lewis, who's one of the most amazing minds ever to exist, was a master at addressing these questions.
00:12:48.000And that is why Hillsdale College, the great college, the only college, in my opinion, wants you to learn more about him and his writings and their newest free online course, C.S. Lewis on Christianity.
00:13:00.000And it all starts with taking a short quiz to find out how much you already know about Lewis.
00:13:06.000He wrote more than the Narnia series, by the way.
00:15:40.000That's why all of these fights about white privilege and white fragility are so important.
00:15:46.000We go through this in great detail on our podcast.
00:15:48.000We talk about postmodernism, post-structuralism, Jacques Derrida, Michelle Foucault, critical race theory, Derek Bell.
00:15:55.000We talk about all the different philosophers and the ideas that have contributed to this nonsense that defund the police, there is no truth, let people out of prison.
00:16:03.000Because we understand that ideas, these ideas are pathogens.
00:16:07.000They germinate and eventually they could take over your entire society.
00:16:11.000And some people just say, oh, Charlie, those are fringe ideas on college campuses.
00:16:15.000No, those fringe ideas are now governing your cities.
00:16:22.000Republicans, whether you're running for Senate in Pennsylvania against John Fetterman, who's a total joke, or up against Mark Kelly in Arizona or Raphael Warnock, every time that you get up on the stump, you need to say that I am going to be the harshest person on crime that you can imagine, especially people running statewide for governor's races.
00:16:41.000We're going to lock them up and throw the key away if you are a violent criminal.
00:16:45.000This entire idea of soft on crime, criminal justice, it is backfiring like you wouldn't believe.
00:16:51.000No political party, in my personal opinion, is articulating this well.
00:16:55.000Part of the appeal of Donald Trump, by the way, in 2016 was his tough on crime message.
00:17:00.000You see, crime is an issue where some people are afraid to talk about it openly because they don't want to be called a racist, but it is an issue that can radicalize someone into a Republican overnight.
00:17:09.000You know, everyone thinks that defunding the police is a great idea until someone defecates on your front lawn, your daughter gets kidnapped, or your neighbor's house gets burned down and looted.
00:17:19.000And the person that did that is let off with no bail the next morning.
00:17:24.000Play Cut 91, the surveillance footage appears to show the man accused of her abduction cleaning out his cars hours after she disappeared, play cut 91.
00:17:34.000I don't think there's any sound here, but this goes to show the perp cleaning out his car after he kidnapped and murdered teacher mother in Memphis.
00:17:44.000What is the Republican governor, Bill Lee of Tennessee?
00:17:48.000Well, the direction he was going is, hey, guys, too many people in prison.
00:17:53.000That's why Republicans are poised to lose.
00:17:55.000If we are Democrat-liked, we lose in November.
00:17:59.000Hey, we can reform prisons better than you can.
00:18:08.000Think about how perverse you must be, how demented, how demonic, how evil you must be to kidnap somebody.
00:18:15.000If you're kidnapping somebody, you want to talk about a gateway drug to other crimes, you probably are not going to all of a sudden become alter boy of the local diocese.
00:18:28.000Look, let me tell you, the worldwide food crisis is making headlines again.
00:18:32.000Just recently, Business Insider said we're in a global food crisis that will wreak havoc on local economies and possibly trigger civil unrest.
00:18:40.000They also said food shortages have led to civil unrest in the past with deadly consequences.
00:18:45.000Remember, you are nine meals away from anarchy.
00:18:48.000That's right, nine meals away from anarchy.
00:18:50.000If not now to get prepared, then when?
00:18:53.000Well, it's time to get emergency food with preparewithkirk.com.
00:22:13.000There's Justin Slaughter, not to be confused with Hank Homicide or Mark Murder, who puts his black fist to the sky as the bill that will allow the slaughter of Illinois citizens continue.
00:24:55.000Threatening a public official, no bail.
00:24:58.000All you have to do is give them a ticket.
00:25:00.000If you break into someone's home, the police can't use force to remove them.
00:25:05.000This is what's happening in Illinois right now.
00:25:08.000Under the Safety Act, these suspects would be released to Cook County's neighborhoods.
00:25:12.000Honestly, I don't know what newspaper this is.
00:25:15.000I think it's the Daily Herald or Chicago Tribune.
00:25:17.000Even the moderates in Illinois are saying, whoa, This is way too much.
00:25:22.000Yeah, that's what happens when you guys elect these BLM Democrats by the name of Justin Slaughter, can't make it up, to go author your bills and no one pays attention.
00:25:32.000And I will say this: this is tragedy for Illinois.
00:25:37.000But for all of the Deerfield and Skokie and Winnetka, white liberal, obnoxious, smug liberals that elect Brad Schneider to Congress, you deserve all of this, honestly.
00:27:27.000All of them would be released immediately.
00:27:29.000The police no longer have the power with this new law that has gone into effect in the state of Illinois because of an all-Democrat legislature.
00:27:37.000And then J.B. Pritzker, who will have armed guards for the rest of his life, will never have to live under these measures.
00:27:47.000Founding Fathers warned us against this.
00:27:48.000They said, we are going to be going in a dangerous direction when people can pass laws that they do not have to live under.
00:27:54.000No cash bail is basically what got Chessa Boudin recalled in San Francisco.
00:28:00.000And for all of all the people I know in Chicago that were posting the black square for BLM, you guys are all responsible for this.
00:28:08.000Keith Kegel, domestic robbery and bodily harm, domestic battery, bodily harm, half million dollar bail.
00:28:53.000The priority of the district attorney of New York, the priority is not these sorts of measures, is these kidnappings, these murders, these arson.
00:29:04.000The priority is indicting Steve Bannon.
00:29:08.000It's a term we've used quite often here on this program.
00:29:15.000Tyranny against the political dissidents.
00:29:19.000They will use political force and power to lock up conservatives, but thugs, criminals, child predators, pedophiles, arsonists, murderers, no bail.
00:29:29.000But if you dare speak out in favor of Donald Trump, we will raid your home.
00:29:36.000Listen in five minutes, but I'm going to do my best.
00:32:21.000Why are they passing this in Illinois, where kidnapping, burglary, robbery, intimidation, drug-induced homicide, second-degree murder, arson, aggravated DUI, aggravated filling and eluding, and drug offenses, they can't enforce it.
00:32:34.000They can't remove someone in your shed.
00:32:35.000They can't remove someone in your business.
00:32:36.000They can't remove someone to your home.
00:32:39.000They do not want to abolish the police.
00:32:41.000They want to abolish local police and implement a national police force.
00:32:45.000They want to turn the FBI and the IRS and all these other government agencies into a national, deployable, Democrat on-demand police force.
00:32:54.000So they can go after people like Steve Bannon, but the thugs and the criminals and the people in the cities, they'll just become these sources of murder, of chaos, of destruction.
00:33:06.000They do not want to abolish the police.
00:33:10.000They want a police that works for them.
