GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE IT HAS TO DO WITH CRIME.
IF YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO POLITICS OVER THE PAST YEAR
OR TWO, TRUMP IS BEEN TELLING YOU IS REPUGNANCE OFTEN DO
THAT THIS COUNTRY IS AN H HOLE IN TERMS OF CRIME.
IT IS JUST ON FIRE, MURDERS AND ALL OF THAT AND YOU KNOW IF
YOU WANT TO SHOW THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE, LOOK AT THE
NUMBERS SPECIFICALLY FOR TEENAGERS.
HERE IS THE ARREST RATE FOR TEENAGERS.
THAT IS GOING BACK TO 1980
BUT YOU SEE THERE THAT MAX BACK IN 1994, 95.
THE BLUE IS GOING TO BE FOR THE OVERALL CRIMES, THE REGISTER THE
VIOLENT CRIMES AND YOU MAY NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A DROP THAT
IS, BUT BETWEEN THE MID-90S TO 20
YEARS LATER IT'S A THIRD, LESS THAN A THIRD OF WHAT IT
WAS, THE ARREST RATE FOR JUVENILES.
HOW IS THIS NOT A MASSIVE STORY?
THAT IS SOMETHING WE'VE DONE AS A SOCIETY IN TERMS OF
GOVERNMENT OR TECHNOLOGY OR MAYBE WE'LL GET INTO A FEW
THEORIES IN A LITTLE BIT.
THE ARREST RATE FOR TEENAGERS IS JUST A TINY FRACTION OF
WHAT IT ONCE WAS.
WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING AS A NATION THIS AMAZING DEVELOPMENT.
AS PART OF THE PROBLEM WITH NEWS IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS
DOCTOR SOMETHING DISASTROUS COME YOU COVER IT, IF THERE'S
GOOD NEWS, DOESN'T GET AS MUCH COVERAGE.
WERE TRYING TO CHANGE THAT HERE OBVIOUSLY, GIVE YOU THE
GOOD NEWS AND THE BAD NEWS COME ALL OF IT.
THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS.
WHILE.
THE VIOLENT CRIME DROPPING BY WHAT?
200% BASICALLY IF IT IS DOWN TO A THIRD OF WHAT IT IS.
OVER TWO DECADES.
NICE JOB, AMERICA.
TURNS OUT WE WERE WINNING ALL ALONG AND THAT AT LEAST IN
THIS CASE WE DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, IT WAS
ALREADY BECOMING GREATEST WE GO.
AS SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU GUYS IS CONTEXT BECAUSE YOU SEE A
LOT OF TIMES CRIME, MY GOD, DANGER.
OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.
IT TURNS OUT, IS
ACTUALLY MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO AND AS TO WHY, THAT
IS A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION.
ITíS A MIXED BAG SO FOR
EXAMPLE, THE RIGHT WING CAN SAY HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY STARTED
LOCKING PEOPLE UP AT MUCH GREATER RATES AND THEN THERE IS
LESS CRIME AND BILL CLINTON DID AND HE GOT A LOT OF GRIEF FOR
THAT FROM THE LEFT, REQUESTER NOW THERE WAS A GREAT ARTICLE
WRITTEN BY KEVIN DRUMMER AND MOTHER JONES THAT EXPLAINED THAT
THE BIGGEST FACTOR MIGHT BE LEAD, THAT THERE WAS TREMENDOUS LEAD
IN THE AIR BECAUSE IT USED TO COME OUT OF THE CAR EXHAUST AND
THAT LEAD IS KNOWN TO AFFECT YOUR BRAINíS DEVELOPMENT,
LOWER IQ, AND MAKE HUMAN BEINGS MORE VIOLENT.
SO WE TOOK THE LEAD OUT AND THIS IS WHY THE EPA IS SO IMPORTANT.
THIS IS WHY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IS MASSIVELY
IMPORTANT AND THEY HAVE STUDY AFTER STUDY HAVING THE
EFFECTS OF LEAD AND WHAT HAPPENS AND THEY GO HERE WHERE
THERE'S A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF LEAD AND YOU SEE CRIME DROPPING.
HIS A HIGH AREA OF LEAD IN HIS DAYS AND CRIME DOESN'T DROP.
IT'S FASCINATING.
ARMOR WHEN WE INITIALLY COVER THE DOTS AMAZING.
THERE GREAT NUMBER OF FACTORS.
I ONLY MENTION TO THE GREAT NEWS EITHER WAY.
THERE'S A GREAT NUMBER OF FACTORS AND THAT IS BORING.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT THE AMERICAN WAY, AMERICANS
CONSUME THINGS.
THINGS SHOULD BE SIMPLE LIKE WHY
THE ELECTION WITH THE WAY IT WAS, IT WAS ONLY ONE REASON.
THE ONE I LIKE.
WE CAN COMPILE MORE THAN ONE REASON WHY SOMETHING IS
HAPPENING.
IT'S TOO MUCH WORK TO LISTEN.
WE TALK ABOUT THE CRIME DENSITY ON RANDOM LOCAL NEWS,
CRIME IS GOING DOWN, EVEN IF IT'S LOCALLY, IT IS LIKE, WHERE'S
THE FIRE DOWN THE 405?
IíM WAITING FOR THE NEW STORY.
WE DON'T CARE AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO LISTEN ANY FURTHER
NUMBER TWO, POLITICIANS DON'T WANT TO POINTED OUT
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO WHO WAS IN THE OFFICE
WILL START GOING DOWN, YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALL THE CREDIT AND IF
IT HASN'T HAPPENED, IT HAPPENS OVER MULTIPLE PRESIDENTS WHICH
HOW DOES ONE PRESIDENT CHANGE THE ENTIRE THING LIKE THIS?
ITS OTHER FACTORS.
YOU HAVE TO GO FURTHER THAN THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY
I'M YOUR SAVIOR.
I DID IT.
IT WAS ME.
I WALKED IN, THEY SAW MY FACE AND THEY STOPPED DOING CRIME.
IS A SUCH A GREAT POINT BY JR BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THE NEWS
IS DRIVEN BY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN POWER SO SOMEONE RAISES THEIR
HAND AND SAYS IT WAS ME, I GET CREDIT THEN THE NEWS WILL COVER
BECAUSE SOMEONE IS TRYING TO TAKE COVER FOR IT BUT IF NO ONE
STEPS UP TO DO THAT THEY DON'T BOTHER EVEN REPORTING ON IT.
OBVIOUSLY, LOOK, BY THE WAY AND THAT CASE, IT WAS ME
HONESTLY I HADN'T EVEN NOTICED, THIS STORY ALSO FROM KEVIN
AND MOTHER JONES.
GREAT JOB THANK YOU FOR COVERING THE THINGS THAT MATTER AND
OBVIOUSLY, WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT NO MATTER WHO GETS THE
CREDIT, WHICHEVER WING, DOESN'T MATTER.
WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE TO WHAT EXTENT LEAD AFFECTED
THIS SPECIFICALLY DOUBT WE DO SEE THE EVIDENCE THAT HAD
EFFECTS ON A LOT OF THINGS INCLUDING VIOLENT CRIME AND
THAT'S EVERYTHING BUT IMAGINE IF THAT IS ACTUALLY THE CASE
AND I'M GOING TO GO A LITTLE CRAZY HERE BUT THIS IS LIKE
A PROXY FOR A LOT OF STUFF THEY CAN BE GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE.
DO YOU GET ARRESTED FOR A CRIME, IT'S A VERY SPECIFIC TRACEABLE
MEASURABLE THING BUT IF THERE IS A POLLUTANT AND THE ENVIRONMENT
THAT IS AFFECTING US, OUR BRAIN DEVELOPMENT, OUR AGGRESSIVE
NATURE, HOW VIOLENT WE ARE, THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT THE WORLD.
HOW DEEPLY WE CAN THINK ABOUT THE WORLD THEN YOU MIGHT
FIND THAT KIDS BECOMING 10 OR 11 THESE DAYS AREN'T
GOING TO GET ARRESTED BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
WEREN'T AFFECTED SO MUCH THAT THEY KILL SOMEONE AND GET
ARRESTED BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY WEREN'T AFFECTED.
THIS COULD BE SO MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST A LITTLE
BIT OF VIOLENT CRIME.
OUR POLITICIANS GREW UP IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE WAS
LION LED ALL IN THE AIR AFFECTING THEM.
WE ARE A VERY WAR PRONE COUNTRY.
WE LIKE TO USE FORCE.
DID THAT NOT BE AFFECTED BY THIS TO?
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO SIMPLY BE DO
I STEAL SOMETHING FROM A CORNER STORE?
HE CAN BE THE WAY I APPROACH THE WORLD HAS BEEN
AFFECTED BY GROWING UP IN A WORLD
FILLED WITH LEAD IN WHICH CASES TEENAGERS COULD BE BETTER, NOT
JUST SMARTER THAN US BUT PERHAPS MORE MORAL, LESS PRONE TO
VIOLENCE THAT WE CAN HAVE A VERY POSITIVE FUTURE AHEAD OF US.
I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY.
IS ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTING POINT.
MAYBE MILLENNIAL'S ARE SIMPLY SMARTER THAN THE REST OF US
BECAUSE THEY WERE POISONED BY LEAD TO THE DEGREE THAT WE WERE
AND CERTAINLY ARE POLITICIANS FROM THE OLDER GENERATIONS.
BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE A POLITICIAN THAT
TAKES FOR THIS.
TRUMPESEES THAT GRAPH,
HE IS GOING TO BE LIKE SEE, I MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT HAS
HAPPENED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS?
IT'S ME.
IF HE TWEETS IT RIGHT NOW, HE WATCHES TYT.
