Topic: Super Predator

Donald Trump is reportedly planning a ride-along patrol in Washington D.C. to promote a new crime bill. This initiative draws comparisons to the 1994 Biden Crime Bill and the 1992 legislation that led to high incarceration rates. Hillary Clinton's 1990s "super predators" comment and the Time Magazine cover featuring 11-year-old gang member Lil Yummy are cited as historical context for aggressive crime policy.

A 1994 clip of Joe Biden surfaced where he referred to certain youths as "predators" who must be "taken out of society." While Donald Trump accused Biden of using the term "super predators," fact-checkers noted that Hillary Clinton famously used the "super" prefix, though Biden's original "predators" rhetoric was equally aggressive regarding the 1994 Crime Bill.

The 1994 murder of 11-year-old Robert "Yummy" Sandifer in Chicago served as the catalyst for the "super predator" myth. Academic John DiIulio used flawed data to predict a bloodbath of teenage violence, leading to the weaponization of the law enforcement system via the 1994 Crime Bill. The hosts attribute the long-term damage to black communities to this legislation, specifically citing Joe Biden's role in its passage.

Speculation arises regarding Hillary Clinton potentially entering the 2020 presidential race as a "savior" for the Democratic Party. The discussion notes that the current unrest in Minnesota is occurring in a state and city entirely controlled by Democratic leadership. Critics suggest that blaming President Trump for local police issues in deep-blue cities is a strategic political deflection.

Joe Biden's recent speeches feature several linguistic stumbles, including referring to the Affordable Care Act as "Ogamacare" and mispronouncing his own name. The discussion pivots to Biden's legislative history, specifically his authorship of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. This bill is credited with expanding the commercial prison system and the "super predator" rhetoric often associated with the Clintons.

Bernie Sanders criticizes the use of the term "super predator" by the Clintons in the 1990s, labeling it as racist. He argues that the American criminal justice system is a pipeline for private corporations and calls for a shift in investment from jails to education and jobs for African-American youth. The hosts debate whether the system is "broken" or functioning exactly as intended by its architects.

Hillary Clinton faced confrontations from Black Lives Matter activists regarding her 1996 "super predator" comments and the impact of the 1994 crime bill. The discussion explores the undercurrent of dissatisfaction within the black community regarding the Clinton legacy of incarceration.
