San Francisco District Attorney Recall, Chesa Boudin Ad
An advertisement supporting the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin is played, highlighting the city's issues with car break-ins and retail theft. The discussion links Boudin to other "Soros-funded" prosecutors who are criticized for "catch-and-release" policies in major American cities.
Unequal Treatment Under Law, Charlottesville Assault Verdict
The hosts examine the erosion of the rule of law, citing San Francisco's refusal to prosecute thefts under $1,000 and a recent court case in Charlottesville. In that case, Jeffrey Winder was fined only $1 for punching white nationalist Jason Kessler, which the hosts argue sets a dangerous precedent that political violence is acceptable against certain groups. They express concern over the rise of "social law" over equal legal treatment.
San Francisco Car Break-in Epidemic and War on Cars
Car break-ins have reached record levels in San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland, with over 31,000 reports in San Francisco alone during 2017. The hosts argue that the city has deprioritized these crimes as part of a broader "war on cars" to favor ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. They also discuss the implementation of "demand-responsive" parking meters that charge exorbitant rates to discourage driving.
San Francisco is experiencing a car break-in epidemic with an average of 85 incidents per day, yet only a fraction result in arrests. Police officials stated it is not practical to investigate every case, leading to a lack of accountability. The show concluded with a preview of the upcoming Grammy Awards and the standard sign-off from Austin and Silicon Valley.
