1:57:09 You know, so there are a number of things that are happening, in my opinion, in my opinion. And we are seeing the mass exodus of New York City specifically, but obviously that results in the state losing mass numbers of their population. And for good reason, I would say, whether it's the medical tyranny or the violent crime, specifically if you're in New York City, it's just completely unbearable. Now, you as an attorney, obviously you understand criminal psychology. So what do you think is going through criminals' minds for the last two to three years in New York City where they see, oh, wow, it's easier for me to get away with a crime
1:57:48 and even if I get caught, my punishment is less severe, therefore they're more motivated to do it. Do you see that playing out right now in New York City and quite frankly other American cities? I'm not sure if I see necessarily that. I'm sure that is part, you know, for some, career criminals, recidivists, that could be their mindset. But let me also say that with what's going on with the mandates in New York City and police officers walking off their jobs and And this whole uproar that's happening behind these mandates, you have less and less people that are working, right? So you have less police officers that are on the street because of what's happening. And then again, with one moment, one judge,
1:58:37 stays or stops the mandates and then another judge comes in and lifts the stay, there's just this whole back and forth situation that's happening. And so there's no consistency happening in the city. People, everyone is distracted. And so there is an opportunity for those that would like to take advantage. So in light of that, absolutely. And then of course, they have relaxed you know, the criminal justice system with who's going to be held in custody versus who will be released depending on the type of crime that's committed and so on and so forth. Judges are inundated with what's happening. There's not enough staffing within the courts. And so it's just everything is swelling. It's just everything is boiling over and that's what's happening. And when you have something like that, when you have chaos, of course it leaves open opportunity for those that would like to take advantage of the system to do so. Absolutely.
1:59:30 From an outsider's perspective, and I can understand how this perspective could be a little inaccurate, but from an outsider's perspective, from here in Texas I'll say, it seems to me that there's more law enforcement Or there's more willingness from law enforcement to go after people that go into buildings or museums or restaurants without a vaccine passport than there is motivation to go after actual criminals that do harm to people. That's what it looks like from the rest of the country. Is that accurate? And that's what I'm saying, the distraction, right? We're worried more about masks and vaccines than what's going on. So if I'm a criminal, this is prime opportunity for me to do whatever I need to do. Because like you said, if I get caught, depending on the crime that I've committed,
2:00:18 I'm likely going to be released on my own recognizance or on, depending on the crime, I'm not even going to get bail. Right. Because there's all these other alternatives, which does serve our criminal justice system in light of its inequities and disparities and things of that nature and the discrimination that has that is historical within our criminal justice system. But at this particular time, with the distractions, the lack of staffing. And then you have the distraction where police officers are responding to calls of people not wearing masks and not wanting to produce a vaccine passport. I mean, look at the lady who was arrested, I think it was last week or two weeks ago, in a wheelchair because she was going into Bubba Gump's Shrimp restaurant down in Manhattan.
2:01:04 You're wasting resources going to get, to arrest a woman in a wheelchair who was looking, who already has issues with accessibility to a number of facilities and places in the city. You're going to arrest her and you wasted resources, called for a van to come and pick her up because she's in a wheelchair to take her down and process her as a criminal because she failed to produce a vaccine passport? This doesn't make any sense. So now what those cops should have been doing something else. There was someone else getting hurt, someone else who really needed assistance, some other crime that was taking place, but instead they were taking care of this woman. Another mother who was trying to take her daughter to the Museum of Natural History, they arrested her and then took her, put her in a car, one police car, and then put her daughter in another police car, nine years old.
2:02:00 How, why would you traumatize a nine-year-old like that? You arrest her, you put her in the back of a police car and escort her down to police, one police plaza or wherever they took her. That's ridiculous. So again, if I'm a criminal and I'm watching all of this take place, this is wonderful opportunity. This is prime opportunity for me to do whatever it is that I didn't think to do before or to just continue to do what I'm doing because the police are completely distracted. Our mayor is completely distracted. They're running around trying to impose illegal mandates on, on the healthiest members of society. Thank you, yes, that's the clip. On the healthiest members of society and on members of the society period, right? That's illegal. And then if they don't comply with these illegal mandates, then you're arresting them. The police are actually experiencing it. Amazing, Trisha Lindsay, thank you so much. All right, we're back here live on the Alex Jones Show. We may be hearing from Alex before it's all said and done. Jay Dyer hosting the fourth hour coming up.
