Topic: New York City Council

Shroyer reports on the arrest of a Salvadoran gang member in Texas for the kidnapping and sexual assault of a child. He uses this case to criticize New York City Council members who are pushing to delete the NYPD's gang database. The host praises Mayor Eric Adams for "ripping into" the council over the proposal, which Shroyer claims protects criminals over citizens.

Alex Jones discusses the effectiveness of legal pressure on local politicians who are often more afraid of the New York Times than their constituents. While cautious about "magic" legal silver bullets, he agrees that filing lawsuits regarding the psychological and physical damage of masks (such as bacterial pneumonia) can be effective. He emphasizes that standing up to officials, even imperfectly, is necessary to break their sense of impunity.
