Emily Gallagher, Retail Theft and Criminal Justice Reform
New York Assembly member Emily Gallagher defended retail theft from stores like CVS and Walgreens, characterizing it as a response to "biological needs" and wealth disparity. The hosts dispute this, citing the massive financial losses and store closures caused by organized retail crime. They also discuss how the removal of punishments for minors in Chicago led to a surge in carjackings, refuting the idea that reporting on crime is "fear-mongering."
