Today on the Matt Wall Show, this week an illegal immigrant with machete raped a child in broad daylight in the middle of New York City.

Because of the constant stream of news and information that we're all subjected to on a daily basis, some of the most revealing moments in politics can be easy to overlook. And it's hard to

spot a confession when there's a million other things going on. So recall that it was just a couple of months ago that a 22-year-old college student named Lakin Riley was murdered. Authorities determined that an illegal alien from Venezuela attacked her while she was jogging at the University of Georgia, then tried to rape Riley before beating her to death. Riley's killer had crossed the border illegally, then committed a series of crimes that put him on the radar of local and federal authorities. But even after he was detained for these crimes, the killer was always set free shortly afterward, and that continued until the day that he came across Lake and Riley. Now, faced with this set of facts, Joe Biden did not apologize for his immigration policy,

which makes it all but impossible to deport criminal aliens, even when they commit serious crimes like DUIs. Instead, Biden said that he regretted only the fact that during his State of the Union address, he had called Riley's killer in illegal. Biden said that unlike Donald Trump, he won't call anyone vermin, even men who murder college students. during attempted rapes, quote, I'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect, Biden said. Because, of course, you wouldn't want to disrespect a murdering rapist that might hurt his feelings, and we wouldn't want that. Now, throughout all the back and forth on immigration that's happened since Lake and Riley's murder, the fight over the border legislation,

Biden's so-called parole in place amnesty program, the lawsuit over Texas's border fencing, etc. This was by far the single most revealing comment that we heard from the Biden administration. It didn't receive anywhere near the attention it should have. The president of the United States said that he regretted using accurate terminology to describe a man who tried to rape an American citizen and then killed her. I mean, this is cowardice and incompetence at its absolute worst. It's the total abdication of the role of the President of the United States, which is to prioritize the safety of American citizens over the feelings of foreign nationals who commit heinous crimes. And it's the kind of weakness that ultimately invites even

more murders, which is exactly what we're seeing. But at the same time, Biden's defenders told us that actually, Riley's murder was a rare event. It's extremely uncommon, they said, for an illegal alien to commit a violent crime against an American citizen. That was the response from the Los Angeles Times, the Cato Institute, NPR, so on and so on. They all trotted out the statistic that, in their minds, demonstrated that American citizens are actually more dangerous than the millions of unknown foreigners who are illegally crossing the border every year. Now, the claim defies common sense, but you're instructed to believe it anyway.

The only problem with this logic is that, by definition, we don't know exactly how many illegal aliens are actually in this country. We also don't know their identities. Even when these foreign nationals are arrested, the largest cities in this country go to great lengths to conceal their arrests from the federal government, and that gives these people the ability to commit crimes

with impunity. all while avoiding detection. Often when these foreigners commit a crime in this country, no suspects are ever identified. And in the rare cases where suspects are identified, it often takes a very long time to bring them to justice. Case of point, last August, a 37-year-old Maryland mother of five,

by the name of Rachel Moring, went missing after going for a walk on a trail in Bel Air, Maryland, which, by the way, if you're not familiar with that part of the country, the state, it's supposed to be a pretty safe area. but her body was found 24 hours later and within two weeks the local sheriff's office

determined that a DNA sample from the crime scene in Maryland matched the DNA from a home invasion that took place earlier in the year all the way across the country in Los Angeles. That home invasion involved the brutal assault of a nine-year-old girl. But even though authorities had a DNA match, they still didn't have a suspect

because this suspect was a foreign national who was not in any of the U.S. databases. So the FBI's Baltimore field office had to enlist their investigative genetic genealogy team to identify potential family members of the killer. And the authorities then traveled to El Salvador to interview these potential witnesses and informants. And that exhaustive effort ultimately led to the arrest

of a suspect at a bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Friday nights. Watch. The Hartford County Sheriff says through DNA evidence, local police and FBI agents were able to arrest Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez in Tulsa, Oklahoma last night. According to officials, Martinez Hernandez entered the U.S. illegally last year from El Salvador, where he was wanted for murder. During today's press conference, Sheriff Jeff Gaylor had this message for the White House.

Here in Hartford County, we are 1,800 miles away from the southern border, and the American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies. This is the second time in just two years that an innocent Harford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country, illegally. Police say the suspect is a citizen of El Salvador who illegally crossed the border in February of last year after allegedly murdering a woman there a month prior. In March, 23, police say he brutally attacked a nine-year-old girl and her mother in Los Angeles. He's seen leaving the home in this surveillance video police released in August. The FBI says they were able to trace his DNA to potential family in El Salvador, even traveling to the country to help

identify the suspect. The lead we received was related to DNA evidence and allowed investigators to finally put a name to the image of the suspect in the video from Los Angeles, which we released two weeks after Rachel's death. After we had the video, we knew what he looked like, but we didn't know who he was. So you can see the problem here. When an illegal immigrant commits a violent crime, it's not enough to gather DNA evidence. That usually works when the suspect is an American citizen, American citizens who commit violent crimes often have a criminal history and their DNA is already in a database in this country. But foreign nationals who come here aren't in the U.S. databases, even though they often have a violent criminal history in another country. That was the case here

where this suspect apparently committed a murder in El Salvador before coming to the United States. So this is a man, just to review, who committed heinous violent crimes in two different states and two separate countries that we know of. and up until a few days ago, he was walking free. Now, it's not hard to see that if the police didn't have the surveillance footage from Los Angeles, it's very likely they never would have been able to identify Rachel Morin's killer at all. That appears to have been a major break in the case, along with whatever the feds learned when they traveled to El Salvador. This is the kind of thing you have to keep in mind when you read reports about how crimes by illegal aliens aren't that common.

This is the problem with all those statistics. The truth is that it's often impossible to track these crimes, much less investigate them. Unless investigators get extremely lucky and expend an extraordinary amount of effort, which is what happened in Rachel Morin's case, it's often impossible to even identify a suspect. It's also important to consider the fact that the corporate press is extremely selective about which crimes it chooses to cover. Yes, the murder of Lake and Riley received wall-to-wall coverage. It was too flagrant and horrific a story to ignore, but there are many similar murders that

don't receive anywhere near the same level of attention. And if they did receive a lot of attention, people might realize that statistics on these crimes don't make a whole lot of sense. Consider, for example, this case from a couple of months ago involving a murder on an interstate in Michigan. Now, this is a story that as far as I can tell was only reported by local news stations. It's also been picked up by the Trump campaign. Watch. Justin to our newsroom tonight, a man is behind bars and faces a felony charge in the death of a woman from Grand Rapids. Yeah, it's after 25-year-old Ruby Garcia was found dead on U.S. 131 over the weekend. Police say she was shot multiple times. Now we're also learning a lot about the suspect in this case.

25-year-old Brandon Ortiz Vita, News Channel 3 is Autumn Pitcher joins us from Grand Rapids. And Autumn, police telling you that the suspect wasn't supposed to be in the U.S. Yes, that's right. Brandon was a Mexican citizen who was in the United States illegally. that's according to federal agencies. Now, he was removed by an immigration judge back in 2020, and it is currently unknown how or when he got back into the country. Police are not new to Ortiz Vite, as he has had several run-ins since 2017,

including drunk driving and illegal entry into a residence. Yeah, it's a real mystery how he got back inside the United States. It's currently unknown. And in fact, we may never know how the killer managed evade the extensive border security that we have, you know, because Joe Biden has all these guard towers and laser tripwires, and somehow this guy managed to get past all of them. And then when he drove drunk and committed a bunch of other crimes, somehow he still evaded detection.

We may never know how he pulled all that off. As it happens, there are a lot of similar mysteries unfolding all over the country. According to NBC News, it's also a mystery as to how a 15-year-old Venezuelan arrived in the United States only to allegedly open fire on tourists and police officers in a crowd. store. Watch. Tonight in New York City, a 15-year-old wanted for opening fire on police officers in a crowded Times Square and shooting a tourist in the leg with a 45 caliber handgun now in police custody, according to law enforcement.

Considering where these shootings took place, it's an actual miracle that we're not having a very different conversation right now. Police say the teenage migrant recently arrived in New York from Venezuela in September. One of three teens who, according to police, entered a sporting good store Thursday evening, stomped by a security guard for allegedly stealing clothes. Our suspect takes out a 45-caliber handgun, a very large handgun, shoots at her into a crowd striking a 37-year-old female tourist from Brazil. The incident now part of a troubling trend of moped robberies, snatches, and pickpocketing in New York City.

There are some Venezuelan groups, groups of migrants. I say some, not all, that are affecting crime in our city. He's a migrant from Venezuela, we're told, but they don't give us any more information. In fact, if you listen to that whole report, you don't even hear the migrant's name. So you can come to this country illegally and start shooting, and the media and police will do everything they can to protect you and protect your good name and reputation, I suppose. They won't answer questions such as, how could a migrant from Venezuela obtain a 45-caliber handgun in New York City, which has some of the strictest gun legislation in the country? How exactly did he enter the country, much less obtain a firearm? How was his age determined?

You think those questions would occur to NBC News, but apparently not. But in that report, you did hear NBC mention the rise in crimes involving mopeds. That's one common denominator they're willing to talk about. Now, as it happens, just a couple of weeks ago, there were. There was another moped crime in New York when an illegal alien on a moped shot two police officers who were investigating a robbery in Queens. Watch.

Haisal, good morning and all morning we've been watching police work here along 23rd Avenue, part of a very large crime scene going up and down this stretch here,

focused on finding clues and this hour new details to share from their investigation and about that suspect. First, a look at the gun. Police say 19-year-old suspect Bernardo Raul Castro Mata used to open fire on two NYPD officers overnight. Authorities saying he carried that firearm illegally, that it's now in evidence and even more evidence found at the crime scene. Here's a look at the moped. Authorities say those two officers first noticed that suspect riding overnight and also spotted several evidence markers near where those shots were fired this morning. Police also saying that suspect Bernardo Raul Castro Mata currently resides at a migrant shelter

not too far away from here. Police also saying so far it does not appear that he has any arrest record in the city However, they say he is someone they're looking into for several robberies around Queens. So again, it's a migrant in New York. No word on whether he's legal migrants or not, so you can fill in the blanks there. But he's apparently fond of mopeds, like so many criminals that we have now imported from Central America. And of course, he happens to have no documented criminal history, even though from that report, it appears very likely that he's committed a lot of other robberies and who knows what other crimes.

Again, this is the problem with the statistics that you often hear, especially in left-wing cities. They simply don't arrest these migrants when they commit crimes until they shoot at police officers. They get away with it. Another recent case out of Dallas only proves that point. Watch. You may know this face by now.

Oscar Sanchez-Garcia is accused of stabbing three women to death within three months in Dallas, while family of the victims. He looked at those women as if they were just nothing. Wait for justice. I'm sad that two more people had to lose their life before he was caught. They're also wondering if the murders could have been prevented. Garcia is undocumented and was arrested 40 days before the alleged killings began by DPD. Per his arrest documents, officers say Garcia punched his girlfriend four times in the face during an argument,

leaving swelling and lacerations. He was charged with misdemeanor assault causing injury against a family member bonding out shortly after that. But DPD telling us Monday, the department didn't notify ICE that Garcia was undocumented. So this is yet another preventable series of murders. It's a case where the Dallas Police Department did not alert federal authorities about this illegal aliens crimes, including the fact that he beat up his girlfriend. So that just went unreported. I mean, actual, like, lives could have been saved actively. But there are people who could still be walking around in this country today if they had simply, if everybody involved had simply done their jobs. And I can spend all day talking about cases like this. The Center for Immigration

Studies has documented one recent case in which an illegal alien from Guatemala allegedly killed a mother and toddler in Florida in a double murder that's attracted pretty much no national attention whatsoever. The killer in that case was also apparently wanted for a murder in his home country, just like the alleged killer of Rachel Morin. As the Center for a Center for, Immigration Studies puts it, quote, beating and stabbing another person to death, let alone stabbing a toddler in a tub, is rarely the first crime anyone commits. Most criminals are upward offenders, that is, they start small and work their way up. And all of that raises the question of how many other migrant fugitives from crime abroad

were among the almost 1.3 million gotaways at the southwest border in the past two fiscal years, and how many future victims are thus doomed to meet the alleged fates of this mother and child? It's a very good question. And in fact, this sort of thing is happening so often that I had to make a last-minute edit to this monologue right before we started recording. In order to also make sure that I mentioned the very latest, quote, unquote, migrant crime. Fox News reported at 9 a.m. this morning, quote, an illegal immigrant, immigrant Ecuadorian is in NYPD of custody after a broad daylight sex attack in which police said, a machete-wielding man approached two 13-year-olds, one a boy and one a girl, tied them together by the wrists, and raped the girl at a popular.

Park in Queens, according to sources. An NYPD spokesperson confirmed a person of interest was in custody, declined to provide additional details. However, law enforcement sources tell Fox News that police arrested an Ecuadorian man on Monday in connection with the crime. He entered the country illegally in 2021. Now, perhaps you can now see why a majority of Americans across the political spectrum support mass deportations of illegal immigrants.

This is not a partisan issue anymore. Americans are just sick to death of this madness. And it's not just illegal migrants either, by the way. I began this segment by talking about how the statistics on illegal alien crime are extremely unreliable to the point of being basically useless. And that's true, but the fact remains that there are quite a few American-born criminals who are also being unleashed on the public as well. Remember, for example, that the man who killed Jogger Eliza Fletcher in Memphis had served a 20-year prison sentence for kidnapping and also sexually assaulted another woman. Recall that the recidivism rate for violent offenders in this country overall is somewhere north of 60%.

So the theme in both types of cases, whether it's an illegal offender or not, is that innocent American citizens are falling victim to dangerous scumbags who should not be walking the streets to begin with. We are sacrificing thousands of American lives for the sake of the worst human beings on the planet. I mean, if the system cared even slightly about our well-being, if it would do the bare minimum to enforce the law, thousands of lives could be saved overnight. You don't need statistics to tell you that. You just watch the local news. So keep this in mind as Biden advances his various plans for amnesty.

This is a man who apologizes for being too harsh to murderers. and as long as he remains in office, he will do everything he can to unleash even more of them.

The Daily Wire report, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is calling for a mandatory warning label on social media, warning users about the mental health risks for teenagers. In an opinion article for the New York Times published Monday, Murphy said he wants a surgeon general

warning on social media platforms, similar to the warning labels that appear on tobacco and alcohol products. The tobacco warnings have been shown to increase awareness and change behavior, Murthy said. Murthy wrote, the mental health crisis among young people is an emergency and social media has emerged as an important contributor. It's time to require a Surgeon General's warning label on social media platforms stating that social media is associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents. A Surgeon General's warning label, which requires congressional action, would regulate.

remind parents and adolescents that social media has not been proved safe. Now, I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I agree that social media is extremely harmful to kids. You know how I feel about that. It's harmful to adults also, but kids in particular, if you let your kid use social media every day, you are actively making your child's life worse. you are making them into a more miserable person. You're making their life worse.

You're making them a worse person. There's just no question about it. You are, you know, when you give the phone to your kid and invite them to use social media whenever they want, you are like, you are inviting them to be miserable and unhappy. That's what you are. Here you go. So there's no benefit to social media for kids. Like there's no benefit. Certainly not a net benefit.

But I would go so far as to say that there's that there's no benefit at all. And the more that we acknowledge that as a society, the better as far as I'm concerned. So, you know, just taking this idea in isolation, maybe it's an unpopular. I think, I don't know. I think most conservatives would probably, you know, think that it's, would probably be opposed to something like this because it seems nanny state or whatever. but taking it in a vacuum in isolation, I would say, sure. Yeah, put a warning label on it. You shouldn't need to.

Like, people should understand what the risks are. Parents should understand that, but people don't. A lot of people don't. And so I think that this could be helpful in that way. On the other hand, if we are putting mandatory health warning labels on websites, which again, in principle, I don't necessarily oppose, but if the federal government were to end up mandating this, social media is not the place to start. Like, what about pornography sites? Are we supposed to believe that social media

harms children more than porn does? So, and it kind of tells you something that the surgeon general wrote this whole op-ed with this big proposal, but it's about social media, not pornography. I mean, one of the things that makes social media so harmful to kids is that there's porn on it. It's not the only thing, but it's a big thing. So I would believe that this is a sincere effort to help kids if you start by putting warning labels on porn. I would start there. Now, of course, I'd rather see the porn band. And if not that, then at least there should be a federal law requiring serious age verification on every porn site.

Everywhere in the country, this is just obvious. There's no good argument against it. But if we can't even do that, then fine, let's start with this. Can we at least do this? If it's being considered for social media, then why not porn? That's the way that I would look at it. All right, Montgomery County, Maryland has a major crime problem, especially among juveniles.

But they've just come up with a plan to crack down on the crime. And that plan involves coupons for free slushies. that's the that basically is this that doesn't just involve it like that is the plan that's the whole plan let's watch that's right good morning Robert here in Tacoma Park if police catch

your child this summer in the act they might get a ticket the Operation Chill program is now underway but take a look at the citation closely it's a free slurpy this is an innovative way the police department here is aiming to reduce crime and build rapport between

the youth and cops Anytime an officer sees the child making a good decision being kind or doing the right thing, they will issue a ticket locally. There has been a sharp increase in juvenile crime and crime here. And Tacoma Park has increased last year due to social issues, drugs and changes in laws affecting juveniles. According to police chief Antonio DeVall, MCPD data shows since 2022 the number of juveniles arrested for violent crimes has risen in the county by more than 300%. From FY22 to 23, the number of juvenile violent crime suspects increased by 178 percent. And the number of young

victims also rose in the county by more than 200 percent. Though we do have some youth crime, it's not our youth in Tacoma Park. They're coming from other jurisdictions because we're, you know, we border Montgomery County and Prince George's County and the District of Columbia. So, So it's so close, you can literally come in and lead quickly. Well, that'll do it. Crime problem solved with slurpees. And, I mean, it's easy to make fun of this. It's fun to make fun of it.

Being a hater is quite enjoyable, frankly. But we should say that the basic idea here is not terrible. We've seen other jurisdictions that have done, tried to do similar sorts of things, getting the cops, you know, involved with sort of positive reinforcement. And so the basic idea is not terrible. It's even a good idea. Like the, the fundamental idea is a good one. And the good part is that, or I should say it's part of a good idea. And the good part is that they're trying to establish better relations between the community and the police. They want to create scenarios where the police are interacting with the community in a context that isn't just arresting them and handing out tickets. which is good for the community. It's also probably good for the police officers too, which is something we don't often think about,

but I can remember years ago, when I got like 20 years ago, when I got a speeding ticket and I went to court for it, didn't end up getting out of the ticket. But I went to court and I was talking to the cop there and he said to me, it was always stuck with me.

He said that one of the hardest things about his job is that pretty much the only time he's interacting with like normal people, basically law-abiding people, is when he's giving them a ticket, like a speeding ticket. And that's just the, that's the nature of the job. So that has to be pretty, you know, that has to wear on your mind after a while. So on both ends, you might think like, well, something like this, it's a positive interaction. It's good for both sides to be involved in interaction. like that, and I can see that. And in the process, they want to create some incentives, like minor incentives, but incentives for good behavior, all of that is fine. The problem is that if it isn't coupled with severe punishments for bad behavior, if there's no stick to go along

with the carrot, then the whole thing's a farce. You know, it's a joke. And given that this is in Maryland, it's a liberal area, I think it's safe to say that there is no real stick. So that's the issue. And meanwhile, at a deeper level, the rot is so deep and so pervasive that probably, if anything, although you're trying to incentivize good behavior, if anything, it probably has the opposite effect. Because getting a slurpy coupon will probably be seen as a sign. Like, that's likely not cool to get one of those. I imagine being a kid in this jurisdiction, and trying to cash in your coupon for a free slurpee. If any of your friends see you do it, you'll never live it down.

And part of that is just kids being kids. It's not cool to earn brownie points from authority figures. It's just the way it is. Part of it is a culture thing. There is obviously a real hostility to the police that is bred fostered in these communities. And let's be honest about what we're talking about. When we say these communities, we mean black communities. A kid growing up in this environment.

It is, first of all, probably doesn't have a father in the home. And on top of that is actively discouraged from respecting or listening to other sources of authority. So it just creates a hopeless kind of situation. And it's one that free slurpees probably can't overcome. But we'll see. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this was the ticket all along. Maybe this was the only thing we needed to do.

Catholic News Agency reports, the Massachusetts State Government this week announced that it, what it billed as a first in the nation effort to discredit and steer pregnant women away from pregnancy resource centers in the state. The state's Department of Public Health said in a press reliefs on Monday that it was launching what it described as an education campaign to highlight the dangers and potential harm of crisis pregnancy centers. And they put out a bunch of PSAs as part of this effort, here's a video that the state health department put out about these pregnancy centers and how dangerous they are to women. Watch. Whether you need pregnancy care or abortion care, avoid anti-abortion centers. They may look like medical clinics, but can put your

health at risk. They mislead you about your options if you're pregnant. And they don't offer abortion care. Learn more and find care you can trust. Learn more at mass.gov slash get trusted care. Yeah, find care. You can only trust the type of care. You can only trust the places where they will charge you hundreds of dollars to kill your baby. Those are the only people you can trust. The ones who, like, what they want to do is kill your baby. That's their solution. They're the ones you trust, right? If you needed any more evidence that pro-aborts are totally full of well, here you go. And keep this in mind whenever you hear nonsense from that side about, you know, how pro-lifers don't care about women and aren't trying to help women and are pro-birth,

not pro-life, you know, all that nonsense. Every time you hear that, just say, oh, really? Like, well, then how do you respond when pro-lifers set up actual places, organizations, facilities where women can go and get help before and after they give birth? Help for them and the baby. That's what these pregnancy resource centers do. How do you respond to that? You just said that, oh, pro-lifers don't care about women. They're trying to help women.

Okay, well, here are facilities all across the country. And that's what they are there to do. And by the way, these pregnancy resource centers, they're not making billions of dollars like Planned Parenthood is, okay? They're not getting hundreds of millions of dollars in tax payer funding, and they're not making millions more on abortion, obviously. So none of these people are getting wealthy. You go to a pregnancy center, none of the people involved,

when you go walk into that building, none of the people you interact with are rich, okay? They're not making hardly any money on this thing, and they're doing it purely because they want to help women. That's the only reason they're there. So when you see that as a pro abort, do you say, oh, well, here are some good, okay, well, maybe not every pro-lifer is terrible.

Here are some good ones. No, instead you condemn them, and you say that they're putting women at risk, and you put out PSAs actively discouraging women from taking help from these people. People who can't even, the pregnancy resource center, it's not like they're going to, despite what you may hear or may be implied

from some of these PSAs, they don't kidnap women and chain them in the basement until they give birth to prevent them from getting abortions. You could go to a pregnancy resource center and get resources and then still get an abortion. I hope you don't. that it would be a bad thing, but you can. So when the, and that's just to highlight how evil this sort of thing is.

Because they claim on the other side that, well, they just want women to have options. They want to have choices. Well, here's part of, well, you want them to have choices or not? Do you want them to have choices or not? Because would you agree that at least one of the potential choices is to not kill your baby? If there's only one choice, then it's not a choice. So choice means that there are other options. Well, here's one option.

And here are people offering help. And you don't want those things to exist. Because we know that, in fact, you are not pro-choice. You are, in fact, pro-death. You are actively in favor of killing babies. You want to kill babies. You want babies dead. That's what you actually want.

So when the pro boards claim that pro-lifers are only pro-birth, which, yeah, also, am I pro-birth? Yeah, I am. The fact that you even say that like it's a bad thing just proves what a, what a, what a demon you are. You're so evil, you can't even see how that comes across. You're just pro-birth. Yeah, of course I'm pro-birth. Yes, I want people to be born.

That's a good thing. that a good thing. That's how most of humanity has always viewed it. You usually celebrate births. It's a wonderful, joyous thing. You congratulate people, don't you? You psychopaths? But so that's like the caricature of pro-lifers that it fails because all, we will embrace that. Yeah, we're pro-birth. Yeah, absolutely. But on the other side, when we say that the people who call themselves pro-choice or actually pro-death, it's not a caricature that is, that is in fact their position. They are in favor of death. That's what they want. And when fewer babies are killed, it's a tragedy to them. They consider it a tragedy. All right. Here's a report on a disturbing new trend. This is from

Dallas News, but I think it's originally from Bloomberg. Here's that line. how home swapping became the trendy alternative to Airbnb. Home swapping. Now, home swapping sounds truly horrific just based on the name, but is it as bad as it sounds? I've never heard of this before, but I saw this article, had been other articles recently,

about home swapping. It's like the new thing. So let's continue to find out what this thing is. Amy Frolic and her wife, this is a second day in a row we've had something like this. Second day in a row with the stories involving lesbian couples. I don't know what's going on.

Anyway, they've been Airbnb host since 2015. They started in Iowa City, Iowa, and continued on to Madison, Wisconsin, where they own a four-bedroom home and a lush neighborhood within walking distance of trails and shops. On weeks, their house isn't rented out. They opened it up for free home swaps through home exchange, an online travel hack they stumbled onto three years ago that lets them leverage their place for free accommodations elsewhere. We were just in a home exchange outside of, in Scotland, this beautiful couple Claire and Michael greeted us at the door with homemade bread that she just pulled out of the oven. It says Amy Frolic speaking to Bloomberg from the UK.

The host couldn't vacate on the agreed dates, but they offered the couple a loft area with a master bedroom and a bath. So the couple stayed there in the house. with these other people. In exchange, they'll get to stay at the FroLux home on a future date of their choosing. So that's the home swap. Kindred, an invitation-only membership platform founded in 2022 with access to 30,000 homes in 100 cities, saw home swabs grow by 800% year-over-year in in 2023. The San Francisco-based startup has raised $26 million. Early investors include Andres Horowitz, the same firm that contributed $112 million to Airbnb Series B funding round in 2000. The model of Kindred is similar to those of Pioneer Social Home Exchange and third home,

and that users earn credits for hosting other members in their homes. Credits can then be redeemed for stays elsewhere. Kindred's twist is that it doesn't charge an annual membership fee. It makes money mostly from service fees. Okay. So the idea is exactly what it sounds like. Home swapping, it's like Airbnb, except that you're trading homes with someone. They stay in yours and you stay in theirs.

I mean, I find, how is this appeal? How is this kind of thing appealing to anyone? This is worse than Airbnb. And Airbnb is awful. The whole thing of traveling and staying in a stranger's house is just insane to me. It's crazy. It's crazy that people do it. Now look, there are a few instances where it makes sense.

If you want a vacation home on a lake or something, then you pretty much have to do Airbnb or Verbo or. one of those. So a vacation home, especially in a place that doesn't really have hotels, you know, it's in that scenario, it's fine. People have been renting out vacation homes forever. That's one thing. But it's only relatively recently that renting people's homes has become a standard thing people do when they travel in any context. And, you know, it's only recently where this sort of thing has become, last 10 years or so, has become a replacement for hotels, like in situations where you could stay in a hotel, but instead you choose this.

and I just find it crazy. I mean, I still remember when I first heard about Airbnb years ago when it was gaining popularity. A friend told me about it, and I hadn't heard of it before. And he said, oh, man, you know, it's great. If you have to travel somewhere, you could just stay in someone's house instead of a hotel. And I remember at the time saying, like, what? Why would you want to do that? It's like a nightmare.

That's a literal nightmare. Staying in a stranger's home, how is that a person? healing. Why would you do that when you could just stay in a hotel? Hotels are great. Hotels are amazing. The hotel model is perfect. It doesn't mean every hotel is perfect, but the model, the idea is perfect. And even in the crappiest hotel, they at least have housekeeping to clean the rooms. Even in the crappiest hotel, there isn't some random stranger out there who has a key to your, to the, you can just like walk in whenever they want. Now, yes, the employees of hotel, have keys, but at least there's some accountability there. It's just like, it doesn't feel.

When you're at a hotel, you don't, you're not really worried about the fact that an employee could just walk into the house whenever they want or walk into the room whenever they want. But when you're renting a person's home, that's just a person. It's a person you probably never met. And they have a key of the house. They go walk in whenever they want. You don't know what's in the home, cameras, whatever. It's just weird and creepy to stay in a stranger's house. And you have to do all the chores. They give you a list of chores you have to do at their home. The accommodations are worse. There's no room service. There's no hotel bar. You have to do the freaking dishes and like throw towels into the laundry before you leave. I just went through this

recently. And like I said, like a lake house scenario is the only time when when I would do this. And I just did it recently. And, you know, it was fine. It was fine. But I'm just think of this as I'm going through it. I had to go through the checkout. There's a binder on the counter. And it's a whole list of chores that it's like your wife or something, giving you a to do list. There's a whole list of chores you have to do before you can leave. And one of them is throw, oh, pick up the dirty towels and throw them in the washer. And I did it, but the whole time I'm thinking like, why am I doing this? This is onerous that I have to put the towels in the, isn't this what I'm paying you for?

And then you look at the receipt and it's like cleaning and service fee is on it. Oh, so I'm paying a cleaning fee and I'm cleaning. What is there's a disconnect here. I was sweeping the floors before I left. Sweeping someone else's, I'll never be in this house again. I'm sweeping the floors for them. and I'm paying a cleaning fee. So the whole thing's a scam.

And if you do this when you don't, if you do this when a hotel is an option, you are psychotic. I cannot understand it. It's crazy. And then to have, and then even worse to allow strangers into your own home.

You have to think like, what sorts of people, again, a hotel is one thing. It's a hotel's a, you know, you understand the concept of a hotel, but I already, like, I don't trust you to begin with if I'm staying in your house because why are you letting strangers in your house? Like, what is your game? What are you up to? What's going on? And then in every house you go into, there's always certain doors that are like excessively locked. This house we stayed in.

There was, it appeared to be a closet door in the, it looked like a pantry door. but it had like three padlocks on it. I'm like, what the hell is in that little room that you so badly don't want us to see? Meanwhile, you're loring people to your house, strangers. Like, what's going on here? I would never want a stranger in my house

when I'm not even there to keep an eye on them, but maybe they are keeping an eye on you. That's the point. You see, it's very creepy.

Now let's get to our daily cancellation. Well, this is one of those stories that doesn't require very much commentary, but I will offer some anyway because, you know, that's the whole point of the show. ABC7 News in San Francisco has the exclusive report about a firefighter whose career was ended after he was physically assaulted by a. another firefighter. That other firefighter still has his job. The one who committed the assault gets to keep working, the one who got assaulted is chased out. If you're already making assumptions about the racial dynamics that might be at play here, how dare you, but also you're right. You're probably basically right. Let's watch. The whole time I was yelling at him, I said, Robert, stop. What's wrong with you? Stop. And he just didn't stop. He was relentless.

This San Francisco firefighter is talking publicly for the first time about a brutal attack that he says ended his career. Another firefighter charged with beating him with a hydrant wrench. The I-team's Dan Noyes first told you about this case two years ago, but now the victim has decided to speak about what happened. And Dan is here to explain why he's talking at this moment. In a story you'll see only on 7, Dan. Well, Dan, a Kristen connected to this attack, Gabriel Shin has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit. that asks a basic question. Why was the victim forced out of the San Francisco Fire Department

while the suspect still works there? Well, actually, there's no mystery to that question. It isn't even an interesting question at this point. The answer is that the suspect is black. That's the entire answer, and there's nothing more complicated than that going on. It's not complicated, but it is insane. And as the story goes on, we learn that the assailant, a black man named Robert Muhammad got angry at the victim,

an Asian man named Gabriel Shin, because he believed that Shin was talking, about some sort of private matter concerning Muhammad. Now, they won't tell us what the private matter was exactly, just that it was a family crisis. From the sound of it, other firefighters at the firehouse, including Shin, were concerned about him and wanted to offer him some support going through his crisis, whatever the crisis was. And this enraged Muhammad, who then demanded that Shin reveal who told him about Muhammad's private business, Shindwan say, which led Muhammad to do this. Court records show that two days after that phone call, Robert Muhammad used a

computer at Station 25 to retrieve Shin's work schedule and his home address and left the station with what's called a hydrant spanner, a heavy brass wrench measuring 15 inches that's used to turn the water on and off. Muhammad drove across the bridge to Shin's home in Oakland and found him out front sweeping the sidewalk. And then he reached into his back pocket. He pulled out the large brass spanner, and he started swinging at my head. A witness called 911. 911 emergency, buddy, you're reporting. Yeah, somebody's being beat with a wrench on 9th Avenue and east, 19th Street.

Court records allege Muhammad swung the wrench at Shin's head approximately 12 times, breaking his arms as he tried to protect himself, giving him a concussion. One blow sent Shin's glasses across the street, he said. The attack stopped only after a neighbor who works against human trafficking. pulled a handgun and confronted Muhammad. And then he slowly dropped the spanner and looked backwards and walked away towards his car, which is approximately a block and a half away. So to review, this man has accessed personal files on a computer at work to find his victim's

home address. He stole a weapon from his job in order to use it to assault and potentially kill his victim. He then carried out the assault and only stopped when he was confronted by a good Samaritan with a gun. So Muhammad has now committed a whole series of extremely serious facts. up to it including attempted murder. Now, you would think as a sane person that losing his job would be the first immediate consequence, followed by a host of other, much more severe consequences.

But you would be wrong. In fact, up to this point, the only person who has suffered any consequences is the guy who was beaten with a wrench. Watch. Shin's attorney James Torres says Robert Muhammad never faced discipline and never missed a paycheck. You have an individual that the chief has allowed to continue work. working all this time, continue drawing taxpayer salary all this time after attempting to murder a fellow firefighter. The lawsuit also says several of Shin's direct supervisors ordered him to drop the charges and to not cooperate with the police investigation of the attack. The first person called me and said, is there any way we can work this out?

The second person called me and said, you can't charge him, you know, you've got to drop the charges. That man's got a family. And of course, I was angry. I said, you know, he just tried to kill me. lawsuit says they treated Shin with startling prejudice and Muhammad with baffling favor from the outset because they saw one difference. Shin is Asian and Muhammad is black. In their answer, the defendants deny each and every allegation. Still recovering from his injuries and PTSD, Gabriel Shin refused a fire department interrogation, which he believed would be not about the attack, but focused on who was talking about Robert Muhammad's family crisis. Within days of that, Chief Nicholson and those deputies took away his pay.

They took away his health insurance before he could even recover from those injuries. So Shin, for the crime of being brutally beaten by his coworker, lost his pay and his health insurance. The attacker of Muhammad hasn't missed a single paycheck. He'll apparently be allowed to keep working until and if he's convicted, maybe after that. There's no innocent until proven guilty factor here either. That's a principle that courts must follow. Employers are not required to follow it. And in this case, shouldn't, because Muhammad assaulted Shin in broad daylight in front of witnesses.

There's not much mystery about what happened. Somehow the story gets even crazier. According to ABC, when a process server showed up to Muhammad's work to serve him the court summons, Muhammad pursued the guy in his car. There was a high-speed chase down the highway until Muhammad gave up and drove away. Why would he do that? What did he hope to achieve by chasing after the guy who served him papers? For that matter, what did he hope to achieve by assaulting his co-worker with a wrench?

Not sure. It would seem that this is not the kind of man who thinks things through rationally and strategically before embarking on a certain course of action. It would seem that he's an impulsive and violent, overgrown child who does whatever he wants under the assumption that he will face no consequences. And so far on that last point, he's been proven right. This is obviously a story that puts the left's racial mania on full and bewildering display. they're not able to judge any situation without running it through the intersectional filter. The victimhood hierarchy must always be followed. They are not capable of thinking outside of those kinds of calculations.

That's because the calculations do the thinking for them. It's a replacement for thinking. That much is clear from this story and from everything else we've observed in our culture. It also makes clear the dire consequences of allowing people to live without consequences. Consequences are a natural part of life. It's physics. Newton's third law. Every action has a reaction.

This is a truth embedded into the natural order of things at the most fundamental level. It's also a truth embedded into any functional human society. Every action has a consequence. The consequence should be of a kind with the action. Good action should have good consequences. Bad action should have bad consequences. Now, it won't always work that way on the societal level, But we recognize that it is a basic principle of justice, and we try our best to enact it, incentivize good behavior, disincentivize bad behavior.

But what happens when this basic idea that actions have consequences, that bad things should happen to people who do bad things, what happens when it no longer exists, even in principle? What happens when it's decided that certain categories of people should live free of consequence, that their action should exist in some sort of, void where a law that governs human society and physical reality itself no longer applies to them. Well, we're seeing what happens. It's the breakdown of society and human beings who become untethered from reality, unable to function. They act irrationally. They are miserable and they inflict their misery on those around them. Because a life without consequence is a life not even worth living. It's a life without meaning. It turns out, of course, that You can't really have a life without consequence or a society without consequence.

The consequences will come. The question is whether the consequence will be experienced by the person whose actions warrant it or whether someone else will be forced to take the blow. That's what's happened here. And it's why all of the people involved in this story, except the actual victim, are today canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
