In New York City, more than 1,500 inmates have been released from jail since the pandemic began about two months ago. That includes 300 violent felons. So what happened? Well, shootings in New York City up 200% compared with the same period last year. Commercial burglaries that stores up 169% in April. Residential burglaries, homes and apartments, up 44%. Hundreds of COVID releaseeves have been re-arrested. So then what do you do? Well, many judges simply don't put them back in jail. Let them run around. Now, it's all about drugs, narcotics. Most kind of,

convicts are addicts, and when they are released from jail or prison, they go back to that life. And here's the backup. A decrease in global travel and international trade has cut illegal drug supplies to the USA in half. The total shutdown on the border has stopped a lot of the traffic coming in from Mexico. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, cocaine prices. are up 12% in the USA. Methamphetamine up 100%. It's doubled to about $1,800 per pound. The price of illegal marijuana up 55%, heroin, as much as 50%. So to pay for the high, criminals have to rob more and shoot more. They need the narcotics. They're addicts. They're running around. The statistics are overwhelming that street crime, violent crime,

child abuse, child neglect are driven by substance abusers. And it's always been that way. America has no blanking clue about how to stop this. But the country of Singapore does. Way back in the 1990s, I traveled there to do a paper for my master's degree at Harvard University. I studied how Singapore handles its drug traffic, and today they're even more stringent. In Singapore, a nation of six million people, there are very few drug addicts. Why? Why? Because it is illegal to consume narcotics and marijuana. You will be put in jail if you use drugs in Singapore. Therefore, there are no drug-addicted people. Here's how it works. The police can stop anybody

for no cause, and they can drug test you. And they have little things on the spot that they and find out if you're high, if you have drugs in your bloodstream. If you do, you immediately appear before a judge who has the option of sending you to jail or to rehab. So in Singapore, they are basically saying no drugs and they don't have any. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by writing it. For more news analysis, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com for honest and incisive pandemic coverage.

This week marks the anniversary of the most notorious treason trial in U.S. history,

the case against Aaron Burr, the man who shot and killed Alexander Hamilton. In the summer of 1807, Richmond, Virginia hosted what was then described as, the controversy of the century. Fifty-one year old, Aaron Burr, who had recently served as vice president under President Jefferson, was allegedly involved in a, quote, wicked conspiracy against the young USA. According to his accusers, Burr was actively working to recruit an army and wage a campaign to conquer territory west of the Mississippi, his goal to create his own country in the middle of North America, naming himself as emperor. That was the accusation. Burr was reportedly in cahoots, love that word, with the British, working with the English

foreign minister to, quote, affect a separation of the western part of the United States from that which lies between the Atlantic and the mountains. England was still bitter about the revolution at the time. The U.S. federal government ultimately discovered the plot. Jefferson demanded Burby charged with treason. Trial was presided over by Chief Justice John Marshall, Jefferson's distant cousin, and the first leader of the Supreme Court. Burr's attorneys claimed his accuses forged letters and documents, adding the former vice president never actually took up arms against the United States. The Supreme Court agreed. Burr was acquitted. Thomas Jefferson was furious. He despite,

Aaron Burr. Said John Marshall, quote, war must actually be levied against the United States. Conspiracy to levy war is not treason. Despite his legal victory, Burr was labeled a villain throughout the country and fled to Europe. And here's something else you might not know. His bad reputation actually started three years earlier. Aaron Burr got off Scott Free on the traitor thing, but it wasn't the first time. He skated on a big charge. He shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, but was not charged with anything. Burr eventually returned to the USA using the surname Edwards to avoid his infamy. Back after this. It is no surprise that current events might be contributing to stress and sleep deprivation.
