"yeah because that would like totally reveal the root cause of something and like that would prevent my ammosexual murder fantasy larpings"....jfc... WHERE IS THIS GUYS PARENTS... ITS TIME TO STOP...someone call cps this kid needs help.
It may be because the root causes argument has a lot of holes. Poverty is often asserted as the reason if someone actually concedes that African Americans commit a disproportionate amoint of murder, etc. Yet some were always quick to point out that whites use more welfare and food stamps. There aren't really any poverty stricken white areas, for example, that have the crime rates of Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. There are cultural issues at play. Why has Cardi B been in like 10 fights since she's been famous? Is she suffering from poverty? 😂😂😂
Remember that crime is a function of law and enforcement; what laws are passed and how they are enforced. The kinds of crimes impoverished people commit are enforced more than the kinds of crimes wealthy people commit. The laws themselves are also different depending on which class does which crime, see crack cocaine vs power cocaine law enforcement for example. And of course some things that maybe should be or were illegal are legal, like stock buybacks, various tax evasion schemes, usury, landlording etc. A poor person doesn't have the means to navigate or participate in those systems while a wealthy person does, effectively excluding them from any prosecution.
@@Montewtf If anything it is more that unhappiness lead to crime. Unhappy because you are poor? You might start stealing. Unhappy because you don't get laid? You might start visiting brothels or rape people. Unhappy because you are envious? You might kidnap someone to torture them and see someone else suffer more than yourself. Unhappy with your salary? You might start stealing from the company. Unhappy with your love rival? You might murder the person, or frame them for a crime. Unhappy despite rich and famous? You might do unthinkable things to entertain yourself.

I've worked retail or service for 40 years. About half of those employers stole my wages at some point. I shouldn't have to sue to recover those wages. It's theft. I should be able to go to the police and report it and then immediately recover those wages and get my employer charged with the crime of theft. Repeat offenders should be removed from society permanently. That should deter my employer from stealing it in the first place, right?
I’m conservative and idk anyone who would disagree with that assuming it was malicious and not a logistical mistake. Did you ever bring this matter up with your employers?
Can you clarify how the theft happened exactly? Did they send you less money to your account than you should have? And couldn't you have sued them for millions of dollars because of that as a deterrent? If they did it to you wouldn't your colleagues have had the same problem? That could be an easy group lawsuit that lawyers would take for free. can you please clarify I'm interested
There’s a process in place to prosecute for wage theft. Same as there’s a process in place for prosecuting retail theft. Both of these things occur because people think they will get away with it.
@@swampysix9375 yes, you have to sue your employer. That is a long process and you you will end up losing more wages then if you kept your mouth shut and just figure out how to avoid further loss. For retail theft the police can be called and the thief caught and your property returned immediately. There is very little to protect workers from their employers. Business owners have more tools on their side that is backed up by institutions.
What a lot of people don’t get is how silent and innocuous this theft is. Many of us trust that what is on our check is accurate because that’s the system. We clock in and out and there are payroll people and all kinds of math etc that goes into our checks. This is also why it’s so easy for a large company to skim here and there or do creative math on a subtle level so an individual won’t be shocked at a single check but over time and with thousands of employees it adds up to “savings” or “profit” for the company. They know that people won’t notice or come after them and if they do they will cut a check and play dumb or at worst pay a fee and do the same again. To put it in shoplifting terms if an employer steals a candy bar off of all of its employees - that’s a GRIP of candy bars. They don’t empty your pockets - they just work hard skimming them while you are busy MAKING THEM MORE MONEY.
A huge percentage of murders in the states are gang killings with little or no seeable connection. That is something most countries do not deal with. In normal places that don't have rap culture everywhere most murders are committed by someone who knows you well. Ex partner, ex friend, family member etc. Those cases are much more easily solved.
@@FoxExcess you absolutely bolstered your credibility by linking "rap culture" with "gang killings". 😂😂 That "rap culture" in Mexico, for example, must be crazy when the US government issues warnings on visiting due to the cartel. 😂😂

But just like RFK Jr., this guy doesn't actually understand those statistics. They both work from a place of bias that ends up clouding their views on what those statistics mean.
As a home Depot worker, The power drills are locked up and need to be taken up front by an associate in order to purchase one. We are also not allowed to follow a shop lifter outside if they steal an item we can only report the theft to the theft portal on our first phones.
How many power drills does your company need to sell to break even with every one that gets stolen? I bought a Ridgid cordless set that wasn’t in a cage a few months back there too
Shoplifting has always been a thing but what makes it worse is how cocky they are while stealing. No running, no clever thinking, just walk right out and act offended and righteous when confronted. Fck thieves
@@TheRedDeath25 It is common in lower theft areas to not have some power tools locked up.

Since Sean wants to Only debate about Democratic Cities after Covid and BLM riots.... How about Republican States... My City, Jacksonville... Crime was up locally more than Orlando, Tampa, Miami.
Car Thief is up because of converters being very expensive. Drugs is up of course because of Fentynal still not being classified as a banned drug. Gun Deaths is also up because of said Drugs and Gangs from other states moving in because Jacksonville is not a gang city. With the Right Wing also moving in, White Crime is also up.
"root causes are not more important than any other cause" which, roughly translate to, "I don't want to understand why people do bad things." What a psychotic statement.
I do think asking why leads to victim blaming. "Why did you wear that skirt" sounds a lot like "Why don't you use your business profits to feed the poor." The poor teen, the working class cop, and the rich CEO all shouldn't be committing crimes.
Because this is a fundamental flaw in leftist thinking, that to reduce crime we have to solve the root causes. There are HUGE problems with this idea: first, root causes are much more EXPENSIVE to fix than having an effective police force. For example, a lot of research had shown that single parenting is a serious root cause of criminal activity. America has spent BILLIONS of dollars helping single parents, and we still have not fixed the outcomes for their children! The 2nd reason why root causes are not important, is because they can be attributed to FREE WILL. AJW gave a FANTASTIC example of the poor Jewish community in NYC, who commit almost no crime, despite their poverty. Black communities are absolutely poisoned by the rap/gang culture, and there isn't any conceivable way the government could change that. Finally, we have irrefutable proof that crime can be reduced without fixing the root causes by the fact that it massively dropped in the late 90's/early 2000's without any of those "roots" being addressed.
@@donovan4222that works just fine when crime is at manageable or even lesser level.

.. or you could say, that sam is working backwards from trying to not admit that certain disenfranchised cultures can encourage problematic criminal themes. Those themes might even be due to capitalist manipulation such as artificially promoting 'gangster rap' and stuff. But they still exist, possibly as a result of those influences.
@@MichaelCasanovaMusic it was an example, and one which has influenced a lot of music and culture after it. Maybe criminals have always been seen as 'cool' but influences like gangster rap definitely don't help.
I love how you can tell Sean actually did his research and is coming in good faith meanwhile Sam is just trying to get him in logic pitfalls because he has no facts on his side. When Sam catches an L he changes topics really quickly, he gets fed sources through his team and you can visibly see his face change when it doesn't align with his points and obviously he's quick to dismiss factual examples from Sean when it doesn't suit him, but will glue on to individual examples when it does. Sean clearly carried this debate by any objective metric and any good faith view. Had Sam treated the conversation with more good faith and genuine curiosity it might've been an actual decent conversation.
Sam asks a question, the guy replies then same asks another question hoping to have a big OWN prepared, but it never comes, so it's a cycle of "how do you think X"? But then he gets it right and Sam literally has nothing after that repeated over and over...it's also funny how Sam will tell him to calm down when he refuses to be interrupted and keeps talking right through Sam lol.
So you watched that whole thing and concludes that Sean had facts and good faith? I know we all carry our own biases into these things, but wow I just don’t see any way to agree with you on this. He’s saying a national movement to acknowledge the human value of minorities somehow lead to a “culture of crime”? This is such a racist trope and always has been. No facts or good faith to be found.
A little inside baseball for ya'll from a uniformed NYC employee... We are seeing record retirement across all municipal jobs right now for one reason only. You see it's a sad reality that when society suffers most, municipal job forces see the ability (sometimes mandatory) to max out on overtime. I saw this personally during Hurricane Sandy and Covid. Here is the rub... When your pension income is based on the best three years retirement tends to spike following three or even two of the most lucrative years of ones career.I have been going to retirement parties non-stop for the past year or so as you might imagine. We worked every Sunday, day off, and every day OT all through Covid.
I understand that you guys do an incredibly hard job. It's sad to see that people who are still needed feel like they have to take an opportunity to get out. At the same time, I'm glad people have the option to retire after the most difficult 3 years of their career. Could have been a lot worse if not for them.
40:42 is an absolutely fucking brutal moment for Sean. He should ask the victims' families of serial killers and families who lost money in a ponzi scheme and see who's more traumatized. Something is off with Sean's sympathy wiring.
Plenty of people committed suicide from what Bernie Madoff did. Like indirectly Bernie Madoff probably killed about as many people as an average serial killer and also ruined thousands of others lives.
There is plenty of that. But if you listen long enough, you can understand why. This guy earns no faith with his willful disregard of structural racism, poverty, and crime.
Here’s what I’d like to ask this guy. He asserts that he believes the Floyd protests caused police to resign and thus crime to go up. So what’s special about the Floyd protests in particular that they had this effect? We’ve had plenty of anti police protests that turned violent throughout history. If we looked at every single one of them, would we always see a corresponding rise in crime and police resignations? And if not, why is this the only one? If it only happened after some of them, that implies that there is not causation. This dude likes numbers, so surely he would be willing to establish whether or not the data actually supports his theory.
I have no idea why Sam didn't ask why it did. A cop killed a guy by pinning him on a curb for over 9 minutes while he was cuffed. WHAT IS SEAN's problem with a protest about that?
You can actually go back a look at the stats of this every time there is an instant that leads to BLM riots there is an increase in early retirement and Police officers quitting or moving from big cities
The guy complains about police having to work OVERTIME when that's really ALL they care ABOUT. They spend the last few years of their careers PADDING their hours to retire with a whopper of a pension. Not just COPS, but ALL of THEM!!!!!!

@howardbueker9796 crimes quite literally did increase in the early parts of the depression... then Roosevelt's social programs to mitigate the economic destitution kicked in.
@howardbueker9796 And you think Rich people stopped being rich back then and NEVER did crimes? The Tulsa Massacre wasn't a crime? The Prohibition wasn't considered a crime? What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
He mentioned that the highest tier of preventing crime is a belief that the law is good and moral. I would think that people would see greater value in the law the more they prosper as a result of being a member of society.
People with privilege are often blind to the benefits of privilege. I see a lot of progressives coming from the safest communities, where being a victim of criminals is less likely. In poor areas, most people aren't criminals. And those in close proximity to crime suffer the most from it.
And they do. Plenty of people of all skin tones have gone from poverty to top 10% income after working hard and taking financial risk for a generation or two. Its why the US is the most pursued place by those from other countries seeking a better life. If you dont want to work with the system then it wont improve your life
I live in a town with a military shipyard, they are also having a very hard time filling spaces for tenured/skilled workers. Many jobs are suffering from this, why? Because the largest generation in this country is retiring. Some are retiring early because of things like covid, or other reasons, working conditions, etc. I can understand why cops are retiring early, but this is a trend across most jobs that have a "skilled" workforce, this isn't just a police issue.

But it is a big problem The question though is WHY is it happening to each job. For a lot of lower level/entry level jobs, it's the great resignation. They don't want to work those jobs anymore. For teachers, it was mainly COVID. For cops, it's a mix of COVID and the fact that anti cop sentiment is at about the highest point it has ever been in the country
Only it's a trend that saw 20%+ retire or go sick in under a year and cops didn't stop working because of COVID. The trends are clear. Every Democrat city that called it's police force racist and defund them saw similar issues of early retirement, officers going off sick and problems recruiting etc. It started in Chicago, who did this even before the BLM riots. Which why it was one of the few crazy Democrat run cities to NOT talk about defunding it's police force post GF. They'd tried it after a previous BLM lie and got badly burnt. It's still suffering. But Minneapolis, LA, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, NYC, DC etc have all seen the same trend. Call their police racist, refund and see crime rise then panic and have to shell out a fortune and still fail to recover. DC is paying $20,000 to anybody who completes training!

Its frustrating that AJW sounds really rational, and educated (he is), and good faith, but can't grasp simple concepts. The fact that he can take in so much information but can't grasp that people being naturally prone to committing crime isn't a valid explanation of the problem, and that saying poverty causes crime isn't excusing crime is frustrating.

Yup AJW is dumb. Crime in the United States went down in almost every category in 2023, according to new data from the FBI. The data runs counter to popular perception, with a recent poll finding 77 percent of Americans believe crime is up compared to a year ago. NBC News’ Monica Alba reports.

Stating as a crime 'scholar' that you are NOT interested in root causes, is a massive red flag. You are basically only interested in punishment. But ALSO opening your desired debate with stating BLM to be the main cause of crime is immensely bad faith.
It took until 1h25m to get to the truth as I know it from criminal justice research. There are a multitude of factors that contribute to crime rates that all work together either to reduce or induce crimes. Poverty, risk of being caught, social stigma, mental illness, feeling of belonging to the society, norms, inequality etc etc. If you let a society get run down, remove good schools, dont provide jobs and counseling, dont have things for kids to do, provide health care etc then crime rates will go up long term.
Yes, but you can atleast point to what you should be doing first. I think AJW is right that policing is the foundation on which you build the other stuff you mention. It's a massive problem if mentally ill or poorly educated don't get treatment, but an ever bigger problem if they also commit crimes and for example steal from the people who are trying to earn an honest living.
@@suckieduckie AJW denies that root causes play a role at all though. If you listen near the end he states that he thinks the majority of crime is just "human nature" that comes out to play when there are weak deterrents. Its completely insane.

@@radscorpion8 "AJW denies that root causes play a role at all though." No.... And you even know this because after that you say that the majority, IE not all of it, is human nature. Which is true.

Bro, 249 police died last year alone. You can't leave a job if you die. That's not mentioning the people that don't make it through the academy or their first year. There's also a major issue with teaching. In colorado a lit of teachers quit over the requirements forced on discussing gender with kids. This added with kids having worse homes because everyone became alcoholics during the pandemic, theres a lot of reasons why both fields have understaffing. I can tell you I'm in a blue state major city that's shy by 100 officers, they don't have anyone qualified on background applying.
@@RoodiniCats I think the point is there isn’t a single root cause. Sam conceded that poverty isn’t the only reason. Seems like he went with racism is the problem. But not Jewish racism only black racism
@@maxpower8429 He explained he didn't care what Sam deemed to be the root cause. What you said it accurate too there isn't a single root cause to a crime epidemic certain parameters within the environment need to be set to allow and incentivize those events to occur
His point was that focusing on root causes can be fallacious depending on circumstances. You still have to mitigate the symptoms of a problem, for example: Imagine you have a heart attack, and you go to a hospital. The doctor says "well you should eat better and exercise" and then you reply with "well yeah, but I'm dying and I need surgery". The root cause might be clear, but it's not very helpful or pragmatic to focus on that when there's an immediate need.
Maybe, but perhaps it was also the massive amounts of anti-police rhetoric that was being spread. Combine that with increased workloads due to a crime wave and riots, and you're bound to have people just quit or retire early.
@@thecakeisalie6601 😂😂 so you missed a bunch of police unions making threats if the George Floyd Policing Act passed? You need to source yourself some newspapers or something. 😂😂
@@rtjamesdid you know that after all of your crying and moaning about the police being underfunded and people leaving, the police got a raise and more protections.
In regards to a lot of the police "retiring early" was probably because they were upset because they were more used to behaving with less oversight and advisory.
Pretty much this, also should look into the average age of the retirees. Probably a lot were just getting to that age. We are experiencing broad retirement in all industries
Not to mention that police were hit HARD by COVID. It was the number 1 killer of LEOs for the first year of the pandemic. Couple that with officers who no longer have the physical capabilities due to having survived COVID and experienced debilitating long term symptoms.
Some More News just did a video that talked about this. There were some reforms about police use of force and a lot of cops called in sick and/or retired in protest.

I’m only about 17 minutes in, but within 2 minutes he glossed over the fact during the current spike, that there were 10x less murders overall compared to 9/11 ALONE. He’s claiming crime is up 30% compared to the second highest of 20% “including 3,000 people dying in NYC in one day”. Meaning if 9/11 were the ONLY murders of 2001, in 2000 there were at least 2500 murders. But during this “current spike” it went from 312 to 489. That means that at the murder rate was 10x lower now than during the previous spike if you discount 364 days of murders occurring. And with a much higher population now than there was back then. Second, he also fails to mention that the BLM riots happened to coincide with the lockdowns loosening up. There will obviously be a huge spike in crime when things open up again because during the lockdowns, there were less crimes available for criminals to commit.
no your mixing up nationwide stats and NYC stats, and homicide rate which is per capita and number of homicides which is not. Nationwide the murder rate went up 29% from 2019 to 2020. And it only went up 20% from 2000 to 2001 and that included 9/11. So if you took out 9/11 then the murder rate increase from 2000 to 2001 would be around the 10% range. Making the recent spike look much worse. The 319 to 468 is just the murders in NYC from 2019 to 2020. It hit its peak in 2021 at 488. And its back down to 438 in 2022. So people are trying to claim that crime is down, but Seans point is that its down a little from the previous year but its still up drastically since 2019. Also the summer of love was summer of 2020. We didnt start loosening up until early 2021 and that was primarily in red states.
@@dangli-sac4053 yes but my point is that he’s being disingenuous by using year to year percentages to make it sound like things are worse than ever, when in reality the recent NYC surge involves murders in the hundreds, while in 2000/2001 the number of murders were in the thousands, which means we have 10x less murder in NYC today than we did then
Lol liberals with the mental gymnastics😂😂. It's like the truth is right there in front of you but they will do everything in their power to ignore the truth.
The question you need to answer is why is crime still up from 2019? Are people still committing crimes because they weren't allowed to do enough of them during the pandemic? Are they still just making up for lost time several years later? If the theory is that the pandemic caused the extra crimes why did they not fall off after people stopped isolating themselves for the pandemic? Yes, they've modestly reduced, but they haven't returned to anything approximating pre-pandemic levels.
It's great that Sam got him to agree to the drop in crime rate at the beginning cause it's hilarious to see him say the numbers aren't reversing at 37:05.
I loved his false straw-manning that Sam claimed that crime was "dramatically dropping" while Sam was simply steel-manning Sean to show the flaw in his logic: that it is the trend that matters and Sean points to the trend when it supports his argument and ignores it when it disproves his argument.

If you agree with someone about everything you're a simp or being manipulated. AJW draws attention to serious issues but he has a fundamentally flawed premise here and he isn't addressing it's flaws.
From the DOJ: "When any agency is thought to be understaffed, but particularly when so many are, it is important to ask, “How do we know?” Typically, understaffing is thought to occur when the number of police officers falls below the agency’s allocation level. However, these levels are frequently determined by factors other than the actual workload of the agency, such as funding availability, historical precedent, staff-per-population rates, minimum staffing levels, or comparison to peer agencies. In other words, falling below an allocated level can reveal very little about the extent to which an agency is understaffed and unable to meet its specific public safety obligations. Instead, workload-based assessments should be used to help empirically determine the number of officers an agency needs to meet both its demand (e.g., respond to calls for service) and its performance objectives (e.g., quality of service, proactivity for community policing). Comparing this estimate to existing staff levels can more objectively gauge the extent to which the agency’s current staffing is appropriate (or not) based on its needs, circumstances, and approach."
@@valuedCustomer2929 What an inane response to the information I shared. You even edited it, so you took time to think it through? For what it's worth, I used to work in the criminal justice system. I did a search, because I was curious how understaffing in police departments compared to other government agencies. I shared what I found, because interestingly, we don't know whether or to what degree police departments may be understaffed at all. The data just isn't that clear. But I guess you didn't bother to watch the debate, since you are only interested in how many comments the video got.

So what's your point then? That police departments are NOT actually understaffed? You know who is best situated to determine all of these factors that you mentioned? The police departments themselves! And most of them admit that they are understaffed and underfunded (as well as restricted by idiotic policies, which is another factor that reduces their efficacy)

There are 3 problems with how AJW views these issues. 1. He doesn't care about root causes 2. He is way to willing too back corporations/authority no matter what 3. He fails to see how policing and police in general are heavy flawed and/or corrupt in the U.S. to a point where nearly every creditable sociologist disagrees with him
He definitely made it clear that considering "root causes" aren't on his top line causes or solutions for crime, but he never outright scoffs at them. Root causes are descriptive, not prescriptive. Like Marxism. It's not a solution.. its a pov.
@@disf5178 Everytime anyone brings up root causes he quite literally scoffs at them. He has done this here, with Emma, and even with Vaush. The reason why he does this is because he tries to frame that crime going up is linked to funding of the police in certain areas but police budgets actually went up and in most dem states like NY it has never decreased or had any link to increase or decrease in crime.
I think Fitz did a bit of a self report when he was so adamant about being happy crime stats are down…none of his other statements the entire debate support this assertion….

@@ryanhubbard1885 Yea and plus Sean is advocating for a policy that has been tried before and works which is keeping more repeat offenders behind bars. That lowers crime wether anyone likes it or not. That’s why I asked the commenter the question because I usually see smug responses like that and no solutions that are realistic.
"I don't try to get into qualifications that much....because I don't think they matter." It was at this point I grabbed the popcorn and am getting ready for someone to dunk on themselves.
Late to the party. Didn't Sean say that the biggest deterrent of crime was belief that the law is just, so couldn't an increase in crime be related to growing awareness that the law as it's currently set up is not just?
I think that is a part of it for sure. I'm always amazed how there is not a black KKK in this country after how the police and others have treated the black community. Exploited, harassed, murdered, raped, massacred and so many other atrocities they are too numerous to list here. In almost 200 years, no white man had been convicted of murdering a black person. Think about that.
Basically yes. If more and more people, for whatever reason, start to believe the law is stupid and invalid, then yeah we should expect a rise in crime. But I think it’s important to note that just because someone believes the law or a law is invalid doesn’t necessarily make it invalid.
I like that he tries to use “hanging your hat” to diminish Sam’s argument that assuming his reform argument is correct, what reforms have been reversed to cause the current decrease. The debate guy keeps trying to say its too early to say that its too early to judge that but if that’s true then its too early to make his argument as well.

Norway’s focus on rehabilitation and restorative justice is certainly radical, but there is no doubt that it has had a positive impact on the country’s crime rate and its economy. The most profound benefit: Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world. Only 20% of Norway’s formerly incarcerated population commit another crime within two years of release. Even after five years, the recidivism rate is only 25%. In addition, the number of incarcerated individuals has been trending down in the past several years. Low recidivism isn’t the only benefit. Norway’s rehabilitative approach also benefits the country’s economy. Fewer people in prison means that there are more capable adults available for employment. In fact, many prisoners leave prison with additional skills. The Norway prison system focuses not only on emotional and moral rehabilitation, but also on job skills. That’s one reason why prisoners who were unemployed before prison see a 40% increase in employment rates after prison. Impact on Norway’s Recidivism Rate Before Norway’s prison reforms in the 1990s, the country had a recidivism rate in the range of 60% - 70%. Today, Norway’s recidivism rate based on re-conviction within two years is 20%, the lowest rate in the world. The rehabilitative aspect of Norway’s prison system is credited as a primary factor in the low recidivism rate. Another contributing factor is that Norway seeks to maintain prisoners’ humanity during their time in incarceration.
They’re also a majority white nation. That helps a lot. And before you accuse me of racism, name one country in the world the left mentions as one the US should emulate with a majority black or Hispanic population.
This was pretty frustrating to listen to, because Sean had done what I like to call "annoying amount of research". Meaning, he neglected to criticize his own research, and consider the alternative. He made up his mind on what caused the rise in crime, and then collected all the facts that might support his conclusion. This might seem like a legitimate strategy for a debate, but it's literally just throwing stuff and seeing what sticks. This causes one to come off as informed on subject, and can convince some people that you're right. But he didn't really present any causation, or even consistent correlation between his stats and his thesis. This is a problem when the rise of crime is national. He is proposing that the nation-wide epidemic is not the cause, but a set of unclear number of events, reforms, retirement and riots... In which case he would need to provide a proof that this is the case everywhere, which is just unlikely.
Lmao just because you brought funding back doesn't mean you didn't defund in liberal cities. You also can't just go national statistics on it because red areas didn't defund in the first place. Watching you lefties pretend the defund movement never actually happened is hilarious. Let me guess your next play is the pretend it was the right wing that defunded just like the biden admins tried to?

"Root causes are not more important than any other cause" I'm sorry, there's been a lot of wild claims made by this dude, but I was absolutely floored when he made this admission about his utter lack of comprehension of this topic. If you don't get why, let me use a bit of my learning about getting rid of weeds for you. If you manage to tear the roots of a weed out, without getting the whole weed, it could potentially survive, but can be addressed more easily. Alternatively, if you rip the sprouts off a weed, but leave the root, it keeps growing back. This is a core part of why we refer to things as the root of something, because it is fundamental to the development of something, and because if its not addressed, then the aftereffects cannot be meaningfully addressed either, as they will keep coming back. With humans, root causes of things like criminality can be much harder to find and address, as we are complicated creatures, however that does not change the fact that our roots do the same thing, and therefore finding, understanding, and addressing root causes, is the most important thing long term. The only way a person could defend a devaluing of the importance of root causes, is if their goal is not actually a long term solution, and it is seen as acceptable to just attempt to force the circular peg of short term solutions, into the square hole of long term problems, like prevention. I am sure AJW learned something in his education, but he clearly missed a lot of info too if he can't even grasp this basic concept of prevention.

I hate to say it, but the way Sam debates really reminds me of Steven Crowder. Less about honest discussion and more about word games…twisting people’s statements (and putting words in their mouth) to catch them in a trap.
I know it seems that way but the what the two are doing is fundamentally different. Crowder does as you say, he deliberately misinterprets what they're saying or not saying and holding that as their position and then using their objection to his characterization as the gotcha when in reality that was never their position. What Sam is doing is following the logic of the claims and showing the inconsistency in their logic, and it looks like what Crowder does because AJW and people like him rely on implication in what they say to let people to come to the conclusion he wants by deliberately ignoring facts that contradict their final point, because he can't say out loud all the pieces because it objectively comes to a conclusion that he isn't pushing. It seems like all word games but the two methods are not equal; one is bad faith to push a narrative that they profit from and the other is an attempt to demonstrate the dishonesty of those former types

It may be because the root causes argument has a lot of holes. Poverty is often asserted as the reason if someone actually concedes that African Americans commit a disproportionate amoint of murder, etc. Yet some were always quick to point out that whites use more welfare and food stamps. There aren't really any poverty stricken white areas, for example, that have the crime rates of Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. There are cultural issues at play. Why has Cardi B been in like 10 fights since she's been famous? Is she suffering from poverty? 😂😂😂
@goldentaco4970 how policed are impoverished white areas in comparison to black neighborhoods?
The ONLY thing I can say against “poverty drives crime” is that it also turns out that rich/successful people are also MASSIVE criminals.
Remember that crime is a function of law and enforcement; what laws are passed and how they are enforced. The kinds of crimes impoverished people commit are enforced more than the kinds of crimes wealthy people commit. The laws themselves are also different depending on which class does which crime, see crack cocaine vs power cocaine law enforcement for example. And of course some things that maybe should be or were illegal are legal, like stock buybacks, various tax evasion schemes, usury, landlording etc. A poor person doesn't have the means to navigate or participate in those systems while a wealthy person does, effectively excluding them from any prosecution.
"poverty drives crime" is usually an easier way to say "economic inequality causes class conflict which leads to crime" which is the real statement

This is also why it’s so easy for a large company to skim here and there or do creative math on a subtle level so an individual won’t be shocked at a single check but over time and with thousands of employees it adds up to “savings” or “profit” for the company.
They know that people won’t notice or come after them and if they do they will cut a check and play dumb or at worst pay a fee and do the same again.
To put it in shoplifting terms if an employer steals a candy bar off of all of its employees - that’s a GRIP of candy bars.
They don’t empty your pockets - they just work hard skimming them while you are busy MAKING THEM MORE MONEY.
17 min in I remembered solving murders isn’t something the US is good at comparing other countries.
A huge percentage of murders in the states are gang killings with little or no seeable connection. That is something most countries do not deal with. In normal places that don't have rap culture everywhere most murders are committed by someone who knows you well.
Ex partner, ex friend, family member etc. Those cases are much more easily solved.
@@FoxExcess you absolutely bolstered your credibility by linking "rap culture" with "gang killings". 😂😂

Going by the chat in which you can see in AJW video…. It’s the TMR audience that is unhinged
As a home Depot worker, The power drills are locked up and need to be taken up front by an associate in order to purchase one. We are also not allowed to follow a shop lifter outside if they steal an item we can only report the theft to the theft portal on our first phones.
How many power drills does your company need to sell to break even with every one that gets stolen?
I bought a Ridgid cordless set that wasn’t in a cage a few months back there too

@@86Framer Well then that home Depot is not following the correct procedures.
@@TheRedDeath25 It is common in lower theft areas to not have some power tools locked up.

Car Thief is up because of converters being very expensive. Drugs is up of course because of Fentynal still not being classified as a banned drug. Gun Deaths is also up because of said Drugs and Gangs from other states moving in because Jacksonville is not a gang city. With the Right Wing also moving in, White Crime is also up.

"root causes are not more important than any other cause" which, roughly translate to, "I don't want to understand why people do bad things." What a psychotic statement.
In my neighborhood the elderly are terrified of getting robbed by their grandchildren.
I do think asking why leads to victim blaming. "Why did you wear that skirt" sounds a lot like "Why don't you use your business profits to feed the poor."
The poor teen, the working class cop, and the rich CEO all shouldn't be committing crimes.
@@gwenrichard7507im sorry. do you think the root cause of rape is people dressing provocatively?
Because this is a fundamental flaw in leftist thinking, that to reduce crime we have to solve the root causes. There are HUGE problems with this idea: first, root causes are much more EXPENSIVE to fix than having an effective police force. For example, a lot of research had shown that single parenting is a serious root cause of criminal activity. America has spent BILLIONS of dollars helping single parents, and we still have not fixed the outcomes for their children! The 2nd reason why root causes are not important, is because they can be attributed to FREE WILL. AJW gave a FANTASTIC example of the poor Jewish community in NYC, who commit almost no crime, despite their poverty. Black communities are absolutely poisoned by the rap/gang culture, and there isn't any conceivable way the government could change that. Finally, we have irrefutable proof that crime can be reduced without fixing the root causes by the fact that it massively dropped in the late 90's/early 2000's without any of those "roots" being addressed.
@gwenrichard7507 Bro you cannot conflate the victim blaming of rape victims to CEOs being called out for fucking the economy.
imagine working at home depot and dying because you tried to stop a theft.
When I worked in retail pretty much no one in the whole store would care about shoplifting other than management lol
@@donovan4222that works just fine when crime is at manageable or even lesser level.

Every retail job I’ve ever had has told me never ever to confront a thief. The insurance covers losses like that, it’s not worth dying over.
It was genuinely one of the more insane things he talked about. Walgreens and Walmarts have ironclad insurances that cover losses for theft.
If a store left, that was their own call regardless of whatever thieving happened there.

.. or you could say, that sam is working backwards from trying to not admit that certain disenfranchised cultures can encourage problematic criminal themes.
Those themes might even be due to capitalist manipulation such as artificially promoting 'gangster rap' and stuff. But they still exist, possibly as a result of those influences.

I love how you can tell Sean actually did his research and is coming in good faith meanwhile Sam is just trying to get him in logic pitfalls because he has no facts on his side. When Sam catches an L he changes topics really quickly, he gets fed sources through his team and you can visibly see his face change when it doesn't align with his points and obviously he's quick to dismiss factual examples from Sean when it doesn't suit him, but will glue on to individual examples when it does. Sean clearly carried this debate by any objective metric and any good faith view. Had Sam treated the conversation with more good faith and genuine curiosity it might've been an actual decent conversation.
Bad for Sam when facing mediocre Sean
Sam asks a question, the guy replies then same asks another question hoping to have a big OWN prepared, but it never comes, so it's a cycle of "how do you think X"? But then he gets it right and Sam literally has nothing after that repeated over and over...it's also funny how Sam will tell him to calm down when he refuses to be interrupted and keeps talking right through Sam lol.
Sam's refusal to listen to stats based on city's but then bring up his own city based stats was also annoying
Nah Sean got cooked
So you watched that whole thing and concludes that Sean had facts and good faith? I know we all carry our own biases into these things, but wow I just don’t see any way to agree with you on this. He’s saying a national movement to acknowledge the human value of minorities somehow lead to a “culture of crime”? This is such a racist trope and always has been. No facts or good faith to be found.
A little inside baseball for ya'll from a uniformed NYC employee... We are seeing record retirement across all municipal jobs right now for one reason only. You see it's a sad reality that when society suffers most, municipal job forces see the ability (sometimes mandatory) to max out on overtime. I saw this personally during Hurricane Sandy and Covid. Here is the rub... When your pension income is based on the best three years retirement tends to spike following three or even two of the most lucrative years of ones career.I have been going to retirement parties non-stop for the past year or so as you might imagine.

dude shut up
There is plenty of that. But if you listen long enough, you can understand why. This guy earns no faith with his willful disregard of structural racism, poverty, and crime.
Here’s what I’d like to ask this guy. He asserts that he believes the Floyd protests caused police to resign and thus crime to go up. So what’s special about the Floyd protests in particular that they had this effect? We’ve had plenty of anti police protests that turned violent throughout history. If we looked at every single one of them, would we always see a corresponding rise in crime and police resignations? And if not, why is this the only one? If it only happened after some of them, that implies that there is not causation. This dude likes numbers, so surely he would be willing to establish whether or not the data actually supports his theory.

@howardbueker9796 lolllololololol
@howardbueker9796 crimes quite literally did increase in the early parts of the depression... then Roosevelt's social programs to mitigate the economic destitution kicked in.
@howardbueker9796 it did though.
@howardbueker9796 And you think Rich people stopped being rich back then and NEVER did crimes? The Tulsa Massacre wasn't a crime? The Prohibition wasn't considered a crime? What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
He mentioned that the highest tier of preventing crime is a belief that the law is good and moral. I would think that people would see greater value in the law the more they prosper as a result of being a member of society.
People with privilege are often blind to the benefits of privilege. I see a lot of progressives coming from the safest communities, where being a victim of criminals is less likely. In poor areas, most people aren't criminals. And those in close proximity to crime suffer the most from it.
And they do. Plenty of people of all skin tones have gone from poverty to top 10% income after working hard and taking financial risk for a generation or two. Its why the US is the most pursued place by those from other countries seeking a better life. If you dont want to work with the system then it wont improve your life
The 2 might be linked. The law is seen as morally good because it promotes the welfare of society (assuming the law is good)

I live in a town with a military shipyard, they are also having a very hard time filling spaces for tenured/skilled workers. Many jobs are suffering from this, why? Because the largest generation in this country is retiring. Some are retiring early because of things like covid, or other reasons, working conditions, etc. I can understand why cops are retiring early, but this is a trend across most jobs that have a "skilled" workforce, this isn't just a police issue.

I wonder if this would be a problem if workplaces weren't so stingy on their training. Entry positions aren't entry level anymore.
But it is a big problem The question though is WHY is it happening to each job. For a lot of lower level/entry level jobs, it's the great resignation. They don't want to work those jobs anymore.
For teachers, it was mainly COVID.
For cops, it's a mix of COVID and the fact that anti cop sentiment is at about the highest point it has ever been in the country
Only it's a trend that saw 20%+ retire or go sick in under a year and cops didn't stop working because of COVID.
The trends are clear. Every Democrat city that called it's police force racist and defund them saw similar issues of early retirement, officers going off sick and problems recruiting etc.
It started in Chicago, who did this even before the BLM riots. Which why it was one of the few crazy Democrat run cities to NOT talk about defunding it's police force post GF. They'd tried it after a previous BLM lie and got badly burnt. It's still suffering.
But Minneapolis, LA, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, NYC, DC etc have all seen the same trend. Call their police racist, refund and see crime rise then panic and have to shell out a fortune and still fail to recover.

Stating as a crime 'scholar' that you are NOT interested in root causes, is a massive red flag. You are basically only interested in punishment. But ALSO opening your desired debate with stating BLM to be the main cause of crime is immensely bad faith.
Okay, just started.
But, gosh... what could have been happening in 2020-21 that wasn't normal? Hmmm. Big question.
Spoiler alert: apparently it wasn't COVID according to one of them.
It took until 1h25m to get to the truth as I know it from criminal justice research. There are a multitude of factors that contribute to crime rates that all work together either to reduce or induce crimes. Poverty, risk of being caught, social stigma, mental illness, feeling of belonging to the society, norms, inequality etc etc. If you let a society get run down, remove good schools, dont provide jobs and counseling, dont have things for kids to do, provide health care etc then crime rates will go up long term.
Yes, but you can atleast point to what you should be doing first. I think AJW is right that policing is the foundation on which you build the other stuff you mention. It's a massive problem if mentally ill or poorly educated don't get treatment, but an ever bigger problem if they also commit crimes and for example steal from the people who are trying to earn an honest living.
But ThaTs tOo CoMpLiCateD
@@suckieduckie AJW denies that root causes play a role at all though.

His point was that focusing on root causes can be fallacious depending on circumstances. You still have to mitigate the symptoms of a problem, for example:
Imagine you have a heart attack, and you go to a hospital. The doctor says "well you should eat better and exercise" and then you reply with "well yeah, but I'm dying and I need surgery". The root cause might be clear, but it's not very helpful or pragmatic to focus on that when there's an immediate need.

Not to mention that police were hit HARD by COVID. It was the number 1 killer of LEOs for the first year of the pandemic. Couple that with officers who no longer have the physical capabilities due to having survived COVID and experienced debilitating long term symptoms.
Some More News just did a video that talked about this. There were some reforms about police use of force and a lot of cops called in sick and/or retired in protest.

I’m only about 17 minutes in, but within 2 minutes he glossed over the fact during the current spike, that there were 10x less murders overall compared to 9/11 ALONE.
He’s claiming crime is up 30% compared to the second highest of 20% “including 3,000 people dying in NYC in one day”. Meaning if 9/11 were the ONLY murders of 2001, in 2000 there were at least 2500 murders. But during this “current spike” it went from 312 to 489. That means that at the murder rate was 10x lower now than during the previous spike if you discount 364 days of murders occurring. And with a much higher population now than there was back then.
Second, he also fails to mention that the BLM riots happened to coincide with the lockdowns loosening up. There will obviously be a huge spike in crime when things open up again because during the lockdowns, there were less crimes available for criminals to commit.
no your mixing up nationwide stats and NYC stats, and homicide rate which is per capita and number of homicides which is not. Nationwide the murder rate went up 29% from 2019 to 2020. And it only went up 20% from 2000 to 2001 and that included 9/11. So if you took out 9/11 then the murder rate increase from 2000 to 2001 would be around the 10% range. Making the recent spike look much worse. The 319 to 468 is just the murders in NYC from 2019 to 2020. It hit its peak in 2021 at 488. And its back down to 438 in 2022. So people are trying to claim that crime is down, but Seans point is that its down a little from the previous year but its still up drastically since 2019. Also the summer of love was summer of 2020. We didnt start loosening up until early 2021 and that was primarily in red states.
@@dangli-sac4053 yes but my point is that he’s being disingenuous by using year to year percentages to make it sound like things are worse than ever, when in reality the recent NYC surge involves murders in the hundreds, while in 2000/2001 the number of murders were in the thousands, which means we have 10x less murder in NYC today than we did then
Lol liberals with the mental gymnastics😂😂. It's like the truth is right there in front of you but they will do everything in their power to ignore the truth.
The question you need to answer is why is crime still up from 2019? Are people still committing crimes because they weren't allowed to do enough of them during the pandemic? Are they still just making up for lost time several years later? If the theory is that the pandemic caused the extra crimes why did they not fall off after people stopped isolating themselves for the pandemic? Yes, they've modestly reduced, but they haven't returned to anything approximating pre-pandemic levels.
It's great that Sam got him to agree to the drop in crime rate at the beginning cause it's hilarious to see him say the numbers aren't reversing at 37:05.
I loved his false straw-manning that Sam claimed that crime was "dramatically dropping" while Sam was simply steel-manning Sean to show the flaw in his logic: that it is the trend that matters and Sean points to the trend when it supports his argument and ignores it when it disproves his argument.

If you agree with someone about everything you're a simp or being manipulated. AJW draws attention to serious issues but he has a fundamentally flawed premise here and he isn't addressing it's flaws.
From the DOJ: "When any agency is thought to be understaffed, but particularly when so many are, it is important to ask, “How do we know?” Typically, understaffing is thought to occur when the number of police officers falls below the agency’s allocation level. However, these levels are frequently determined by factors other than the actual workload of the agency, such as funding availability, historical precedent, staff-per-population rates, minimum staffing levels, or comparison to peer agencies. In other words, falling below an allocated level can reveal very little about the extent to which an agency is understaffed and unable to meet its specific public safety obligations. Instead, workload-based assessments should be used to help empirically determine the number of officers an agency needs to meet both its demand (e.g., respond to calls for service) and its performance objectives (e.g., quality of service, proactivity for community policing). Comparing this estimate to existing staff levels can more objectively gauge the extent to which the agency’s current staffing is appropriate (or not) based on its needs, circumstances, and approach."

He definitely made it clear that considering "root causes" aren't on his top line causes or solutions for crime, but he never outright scoffs at them. Root causes are descriptive, not prescriptive. Like Marxism. It's not a solution.. its a pov.
@@disf5178 Everytime anyone brings up root causes he quite literally scoffs at them. He has done this here, with Emma, and even with Vaush. The reason why he does this is because he tries to frame that crime going up is linked to funding of the police in certain areas but police budgets actually went up and in most dem states like NY it has never decreased or had any link to increase or decrease in crime.

Late to the party.
Didn't Sean say that the biggest deterrent of crime was belief that the law is just, so couldn't an increase in crime be related to growing awareness that the law as it's currently set up is not just?
I think that is a part of it for sure. I'm always amazed how there is not a black KKK in this country after how the police and others have treated the black community. Exploited, harassed, murdered, raped, massacred and so many other atrocities they are too numerous to list here. In almost 200 years, no white man had been convicted of murdering a black person. Think about that.
Basically yes. If more and more people, for whatever reason, start to believe the law is stupid and invalid, then yeah we should expect a rise in crime.
But I think it’s important to note that just because someone believes the law or a law is invalid doesn’t necessarily make it invalid.

Oh boy, Mr. Race realism himself
Norway’s focus on rehabilitation and restorative justice is certainly radical, but there is no doubt that it has had a positive impact on the country’s crime rate and its economy.
The most profound benefit: Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world. Only 20% of Norway’s formerly incarcerated population commit another crime within two years of release. Even after five years, the recidivism rate is only 25%. In addition, the number of incarcerated individuals has been trending down in the past several years.
Low recidivism isn’t the only benefit. Norway’s rehabilitative approach also benefits the country’s economy. Fewer people in prison means that there are more capable adults available for employment. In fact, many prisoners leave prison with additional skills. The Norway prison system focuses not only on emotional and moral rehabilitation, but also on job skills. That’s one reason why prisoners who were unemployed before prison see a 40% increase in employment rates after prison.
Impact on Norway’s Recidivism Rate
Before Norway’s prison reforms in the 1990s, the country had a recidivism rate in the range of 60% - 70%. Today, Norway’s recidivism rate based on re-conviction within two years is 20%, the lowest rate in the world.
The rehabilitative aspect of Norway’s prison system is credited as a primary factor in the low recidivism rate. Another contributing factor is that Norway seeks to maintain prisoners’ humanity during their time in incarceration.

This was pretty frustrating to listen to, because Sean had done what I like to call "annoying amount of research". Meaning, he neglected to criticize his own research, and consider the alternative.
He made up his mind on what caused the rise in crime, and then collected all the facts that might support his conclusion. This might seem like a legitimate strategy for a debate, but it's literally just throwing stuff and seeing what sticks.
This causes one to come off as informed on subject, and can convince some people that you're right. But he didn't really present any causation, or even consistent correlation between his stats and his thesis.
This is a problem when the rise of crime is national. He is proposing that the nation-wide epidemic is not the cause, but a set of unclear number of events, reforms, retirement and riots... In which case he would need to provide a proof that this is the case everywhere, which is just unlikely.
On a related note: Some More News have a new episode that shows that we didn't actually 'defund the police'
Lmao just because you brought funding back doesn't mean you didn't defund in liberal cities. You also can't just go national statistics on it because red areas didn't defund in the first place.

"Root causes are not more important than any other cause"
I'm sorry, there's been a lot of wild claims made by this dude, but I was absolutely floored when he made this admission about his utter lack of comprehension of this topic. If you don't get why, let me use a bit of my learning about getting rid of weeds for you. If you manage to tear the roots of a weed out, without getting the whole weed, it could potentially survive, but can be addressed more easily. Alternatively, if you rip the sprouts off a weed, but leave the root, it keeps growing back. This is a core part of why we refer to things as the root of something, because it is fundamental to the development of something, and because if its not addressed, then the aftereffects cannot be meaningfully addressed either, as they will keep coming back. With humans, root causes of things like criminality can be much harder to find and address, as we are complicated creatures, however that does not change the fact that our roots do the same thing, and therefore finding, understanding, and addressing root causes, is the most important thing long term. The only way a person could defend a devaluing of the importance of root causes, is if their goal is not actually a long term solution, and it is seen as acceptable to just attempt to force the circular peg of short term solutions, into the square hole of long term problems, like prevention.
I am sure AJW learned something in his education, but he clearly missed a lot of info too if he can't even grasp this basic concept of prevention.

If police officers are retiring early because they are worried about prosecution. I think that would most likely be a good thing. Probably not the type of cops you want on the force anyway. And probably have something to hide.
You keep telling yourself that.
When cops cant even pull a blakc person over without you clowns blowing a gasket, then why waste their time?
Move to the burbs, and let the "progressive" cities explain the minorities left behind getting robbed , r@ped, and shot why fighting crime is "white supremacy".
@@WillmobilePlus lol. Kid actually listen to what we say instead of repeating lies police make up to excuse their actions. Lol. You’ll see we don’t blow a gasket over people being pulled over. Lol. Only drooling morons believe the left does this. lol.
That you can have you life ruined because you shot someone for attacking you and trying to take your gun, or that you shot a teenager who was trying to kill another teen with a knife. Is also a good reason to retire.
Underfunded and undermanned police departments are why Native American women are ten times more likely to be missing or murdered on average
@@86Framer Do you have an example? Or is this just speculation of what might happen?
@@jimforthew The Cop who shot Michael Brown for trying to kill him out him was investigated for murder.
When Officer Reardon shot Bryant mid swing of trying to kill another girl with a knife. Powerful people were very upset that she died in the process of trying to murder someone.
We can look at how Indian Reservations have traditionally been under staffed and under funded police departments and how indigenous women are ten times more likely to murdered or missing than the average American woman.
Even if less people want to be police, and that is a problem in terms of crime increasing, the fault is not with those who protested against police murdering people, the fault is with police murdering people.
Sure, and the number of unarmed black men killed by police has dropped substantially over the past 15-20 years, and yet we have more reporting on it than ever, regardless of whether or not the shooting was justified.
To be fair that wouldn't be murder, would it
Violent crime in New Orleans dropped 20% through 2023, one of the largest decreases in the country (it was higher to begin with, of course), *even though* the number of NOPD officers hit the lowest they've been since the 1940s in August 2023.
And it's still way up compared to 2019 for example homicide is still up almost 100% shootings still up over 60% and car jacking still up 50%
@@kidfunkyfri3308 Don't you get it, though? If crime both increased and decreased, then staffing is not the sole variable by which to judge the crime rate. THAT'S THE POINT. If staffing was high and the crime rate remained high, or if the crime rate was low when staffing was low, they do not have a direct inverse relationship.

Poverty drives crime.
By design. And the vast majority of the problems in society.

The disgusting sick joke that stands as justice in the usa is from the top down.
The fact that he couldn't admit to that basic fact without tacking on a whole litany of caveats to it, while saying the exact reverse without a shred of hesitation of caveats, shows exactly what he's all about. In a roundabout verbose way, he is just saying that they did crimes, so they deserve their poverty, even though poverty obviously happened first. They were born into it before they ever even did a crime.
@@cosmosofinfinity "They should have thought of that before becoming PEASANTS!"
I remember buddy being a little more cockier than this last time I saw him on Pool’s show. Poor guy 😂😂😂😂
Well of course he was. He was debating a woman and is a douche.
I mean he was respectful to the guy on his own show , but he cooked the guy on it afterwards
The debate was over in the first 10 minutes the so-called Justice warrior or whatever stupid thing he calls himself obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.
Do you think fewer cops working a bunch ton of OT, are as effective as more cops working regular hours?
AJW is actually so right on this one. The desperation caused by poverty and the long lasting effects of covid has nothing to do with mothers shoplifting baby formula and diapers, and we should most definitely prosecute all of them to the fullest extent of the law. That way, there won’t be any more criminals left to commit thievery in my town’s beloved, large, family-run small business, Walmart 😌🙏🏽💯🔥
I think I'll steal this and at least try to put it on a shirt
Funny, I've never seen looters running away with baby formula and nappies. And I've never seen a shoplifter being caught with baby formula and nappies either.
@Leeside999 just like you didn't see the point either. Sailed just right over your head. It's okay you'll katch it someday.

58:00 After previously claiming 65% was a suitable clearance rate achieved by having lots of jackboots, AJW now claims 75% is a fail in Connecticut
Also he provides no sources for his conclusions, just attributes claims to random statistics, also called a false assumption fallacy
His _entire_ argument is a string of False Assumption Fallacies, effectively making his feelings the goalposts
Also known as interpolation
Yup pretty clear this is what AJW is doing but his fans are dumb
What if the police reforms add more support pillars to his building? And covid still knocks them all down? I find hypotheticals like these super annoying because it starts with unproven base assumptions
All they have are hypotheticals based in assumption.
Dude legit actually said office staff is irrelevant

hilarious how they always come undone by Sam's gotcha questions....which is usually "am I understanding you correctly?"....
Sam's Columbo rizz
Lmaooo this. Its wild like this was not even really a debate it was just Sam asking him questions about what he believes. And then what he believes is so ridiculous that Sam wins the debate without even really debating lol. This reminded me of when libertarians call in lol except this guy was a little more prepared and sly
1:15:10 the way Sam nonchalantly says "what do you put wage theft at?" then takes a drink while realizing he's about to nuke this poor kid from orbit is so good

I hate to say it, but the way Sam debates really reminds me of Steven Crowder. Less about honest discussion and more about word games…twisting people’s statements (and putting words in their mouth) to catch them in a trap.
I know it seems that way but the what the two are doing is fundamentally different. Crowder does as you say, he deliberately misinterprets what they're saying or not saying and holding that as their position and then using their objection to his characterization as the gotcha when in reality that was never their position. What Sam is doing is following the logic of the claims and showing the inconsistency in their logic, and it looks like what Crowder does because AJW and people like him rely on implication in what they say to let people to come to the conclusion he wants by deliberately ignoring facts that contradict their final point, because he can't say out loud all the pieces because it objectively comes to a conclusion that he isn't pushing. It seems like all word games but the two methods are not equal; one is bad faith to push a narrative that they profit from and the other is an attempt to demonstrate the dishonesty of those former types
Nothing but fallacies from sam, he says he tries to understand logic but makes no effort to understand what logic even is.
This was such an embarrassing display for AJW. This dude managed to look the slightest bit rational when he was basically chiming in on Tim vs Emma. But when he got his moment to shine here he shit the bed drastically. This man should have took a lesson from beanie boy and avoided Sam like he owed him money lol
