Most of us have been around for, you know, whatever our particular periods of time are on this earth.
And we've seen some things and we've...
We're used to things and we're able to kind of gauge our behaviors and our reactions accordingly.
But the one thing that many people are not able to figure out exactly is why is there this systematic, apparently this ostensible systematic, end of urban or domestic or metropolitan law and order?
Why are we seeing Cities like New York or San Francisco or others, why are we seeing them exhibit absolute lawlessness?
And what's interesting is that in the areas that for the longest time have been teeming, teeming with the best of the brightest of the greatest of the what have you, you know, the richest.
How?
How is that possible?
How is that possible?
How does that work without anybody seeming to say anything about it?
And you and I can sit back and we can think about a lot of things and we can decide, well, the reason for it is this.
So let's put out our thinking caps.
Let's try.
Let's think about this.
Let us...
Review why certain things are the way they are, if that's possible.
But first, let me remind you of something.
We've always had a wonderful sponsor, and we think the world of them.
It's our friends at MyPillow.
It's American-made.
It's American-owned.
It's American products.

And use the promo code Lionel in this MyPillow.com slash Lionel link.
They're the best.
What happens?
Remember what happens in Bed Bath& Beyond?
I find this.
I don't know if this is karma.
But do you remember what happened after they decided that they were going to pull the plug on MyPillow?
Do you remember what happened?
Remember what happened?
They went out of business.
But MyPillow was still here.
And it's important and critical that in addition to buying the great products that they have and the wonderful items and pillows and slippers and toppers and all of that, is to reward and to support people who stand by what we believe in.
That's all.
That's all.

Okay?
All right.
Now, it's very easy for people to sit back sometimes and to come up with theories as to why things are the way they are.
Why are they?
And invariably, people will...
I've got friends of mine, and they'll come up with these.
It's Soros.
I don't know why George Soros is the answer to everything.
He's a very interesting person.
Very interesting, involved in quite a lot.
But we're not really sure what completely he's involved in.
But I don't think it's...
Sometimes I think Occam's Razor mandates that we look for may be the simpler reasons and the simpler explanations and the like.
So what causes this?
Why has there been a systematic decision to not, first of all, to not enforce crimes, to not arrest miscreants and the like, to allow lawlessness to basically to run amok What is it?
What is responsible for that?
How did that happen?
That's question number one.
There also is something which I've told you about, and this is very, very critical, when it comes to understanding, and there's a pun there, when understanding what happens regarding the areas of urban collapse and the like, and that is critical legal studies.
Critical legal studies were part of the critical race studies, the criticals, and those who are proponents are called crits, C-R-I-T-S.
Crits are those individuals who espouse this notion of critical race theory, critical race theory, Critical legal studies.
And critical legal studies came from the 70s.
And what they were a part of is this idea that the American juridicature, the American juridical, the American jurisprudential legal system is inherently and usually racist or Not conversant with unique problems associated with racism and poverty and people of color and the like.
So, the way to correct that is to use the principles and the actual systems of law and order in order to correct the problems.
And what this has meant to many people is basically looking the other way.
And this is something which is the most fascinating.
Looking the other way.
Letting people go.
No cash bonds.
No bails.
Restorative justice.
You have to look at this.
And what's interesting is that there are people, there are social scientists and criminologists and those individuals who have been espousing this for a year.
Who put these theories together to explain to you, to show you what they're talking about.
And they make no bones about it.
They say, this is what we're doing.
Critical race theory dealt with basically a re-evaluation and re-calibration of American history by virtue of what we believe to be the genesis and the undergirding, the foundations of American life and democracy and all of that from the 1619 Project and others.
So these are called the crits.
Now we're having individuals targeting areas that for the longest time were considered untouchable.
You're also seeing movement, and this is not necessarily a bad thing, lest you read this the wrong way, new housing developments, low-income housing, a recalibration of demographic in areas like Greenwich, Connecticut, Westchester,
New York, Calabasas, Marin County, wherever enclaves, wherever there are people who for the longest time were considered usually rich, exclusive, White and the like.
They're seeing a complete and total transmogrification.
A complete and total transmogrification of what is happening now.
This is going on, and here's the best part.
These individuals, these folks, these real estate barons and leaders of industry and the like, they are not apparently able to do much of anything to Rebut this?
To deal with this?
To address this?
To argue this?
Nothing.
They're not saying anything.
They're doing nothing.
That's the amazing part we have here in New York City on 57th Street.
Between, I guess, 7th and 8th, there was something called the Billionaire's Row.
Billionaires, and there was one of the largest, at one particular point, homeless shelters put right there, deliberately.
They were talking about, during the de Blasio administration, putting prisons or jails, like Rikers Island, detention facilities, underneath, kind of in the lower-leveled coffee shops, below a Starbucks.
Amends!
Not a prison, but a jail.
In order to reincorporate, reintroduce, restore, restorative justice, critical legal studies, the crits.
This is part and parcel of what is happening right now.
And they're going to go into different areas and say, you, in this area, we do not think that you need one and a half, two acres in this gated exclusive community.
Freedom of property is going to be completely subverted and changed.
And it's coming.
And they, the shadow government, those individuals really running the show, are making no bones about it whatsoever.
And what is being done in response and in retort?
Nothing.
Nothing as a societal riposte?
Nothing.
Anything to react to this?
Nothing.
No one is doing anything.
They are allowing this to occur unimpeded, unheeded, unimpaired, uninterrupted.
That is what's perhaps even more fascinating out of this entire...
Series of events.
So remember this.
Look up CLS, Critical Legal Studies, Restorative Justice.
Read what's happening, know what's going on, and become a part of this symphony of changed societal behavior.
And don't forget our dear friends at...
My pillow.
Don't forget promo code Lionel.
Thanks so much for watching.
Have a great and glorious day.
