| It's our purpose to bring to bear the principle of common sense and rational discussion to the issues of our day. | |
| America was created at a time of great turmoil, tremendous disagreements, anger, hatred. | |
| It was a book written in 1776 that guided much of the discipline of thinking that brought to us the discovery of our freedoms, of our God-given freedoms. | |
| It was Thomas Paine's Common Sense, written in 1776, one of the first American bestsellers, in which Thomas Paine explained, by rational principles, the reason why these small colonies felt the necessity to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the King of England. | |
| He explained their inherent desire for liberty, for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom | |
| of speech, the ability to select the people who govern them. | |
| And he explained it in ways that were understandable to all the people, not just the elite. | |
| Because the desire for freedom is universal. | |
| The desire for freedom adheres in the human mind and it is part of the human soul. | |
| This is exactly the time we should consult our history. | |
| Look at what we've done in the past and see if we can't use it to help us now. | |
| We understand that our founders created the greatest country in the history of the world. | |
| The greatest democracy, the freest country, a country that has taken more people out of poverty than any country ever. | |
| All of us are so fortunate to be Americans. | |
| But a great deal of the reason for America's constant ability to self-improve is because we're able to reason, we're able to talk, we're able to analyze. | |
| We are able to apply our God-given common sense. | |
| So let's do it. | |
| Welcome to Rudy's Common Sense. | |
| And today we're going to talk about a A true, true indication that our criminal justice system in New York for sure, but I would say in America, has cratered completely and has become a system in which your political affiliation and your race | |
| Gender, sexual preferences are all the things that determine it, not innocence or guilt. | |
| And the case that I'm referring to, there are so many that could be used as examples. | |
| We could be talking about the Trump case again, and the ridiculous brag indictment of the Trump case. | |
| Or we could be talking about the people that brag puts out on the street that beat people, kill people, throw them on the subway, beat them up. | |
| We're going to talk about the one that I think has gotten national attention for good reason, and because this man should be relieved of what they're doing to him because they're torturing him, and that's Daniel Penney, who is a sergeant in the United States Marines. | |
| Daniel Penney had the misfortune of being on the subway several days ago, Our subway, which under Mayor Adams has become kind of a disaster that no one wants to ride, although he keeps insisting it's fine. | |
| And while he was on the subway, a man named Jordan Neely was walking through the subway, as apparently he's been doing quite consistently for the last three or four years. | |
| And what he was doing was yelling, and this is not uncommon, unfortunately, on the New York subway. | |
| He was yelling, screaming, cursing, and insulting people in general. | |
| He also was occasionally throwing garbage at them and then some other object. | |
| I've forgotten exactly what the object was. | |
| And then he walked up to an area where I believe Penny was sort of sitting right behind him. | |
| And he started saying things like, I don't care if I go to jail. | |
| I don't care if I'm dead. | |
| I don't care if they kill me. | |
| And as he did that, he made a gesture. | |
| He attempted to take his jacket off. | |
| In what would be considered by the witnesses a menacing way, a way in which a reasonable person could interpret it, particularly given the language he was using and the prior throwing of garbage and things at people, which a reasonable person could assume was in order to go beat the living daylights out of the people in front of him. | |
| Um, that would be the reasonable explanation for why he was, he didn't, he wasn't taking his jacket off like that to put it over his arm. | |
| He wasn't taking it off slowly and carefully or even fast and carefully. | |
| He was taking it off in a medicine way. | |
| And that led the Marine to act quickly as he's trained to do to restrain him. | |
| Um, now you say, well, Shouldn't the Marine have waited for him to hit somebody or shoot somebody or knife somebody? | |
| Well, of course, that's too late, isn't it? | |
| No, the question is, was the Marine reasonable in assuming, in making the assumption that he was going to menace someone? | |
| I would say absolutely when you consider the language that was being used, the fact that the people on the train were scared out of their minds. | |
| Several people have told the newspapers they thought, they thank God that Penny was there because they don't know what would happen to them. | |
| So it kind of reinforces the fact that Penny wasn't the only one who saw this great danger. | |
| And if you've ever been on the subway and seen something like this, I think you would understand it even better than I'm able to physically describe it to you. | |
| The subway is a more frightening place. | |
| And it is true that incidents and crimes in the subway are magnified by the fact that people are closed in and can't escape for periods of time. | |
| Which therefore gives the criminal a great opportunity to frighten you, to take advantage of you and to kill you. | |
| So it would not be at all unreasonable for Mr. Penny to assume when that jacket was coming off, the next thing he was going to do before anybody could stop him is bash somebody's skull in. | |
| Now, we have seen, unfortunately, since Adams has been mayor, any number of videos of such things happening. | |
| We see people hit in the head for no reason. | |
| We see people thrown on the subway tracks for no reason. | |
| There was a viral video of a guy just hitting a woman for no reason on the subway. | |
| Just punched her right in the face. | |
| Doesn't appear to be any reason other than they were having a conversation. | |
| He didn't know her. | |
| We've seen old people knocked to the ground and kicked on the subway. | |
| So given the present condition of the New York subway, When this man who was yelling out all kinds of threatening things and throwing things, took the jacket off. | |
| There's no reason that Sergeant Penny had to wait any longer. | |
| I mean, if he waited any longer, somebody might've been dead. | |
| So he went behind him and grabbed him by the back of the neck and took him down. | |
| And he held him there with the assistance of two other people until he could be turned over to the police. | |
| Now, in the course of that, they say it was a chokehold. | |
| I'm looking at it right now. | |
| I'll show you a picture of it. | |
| This does not look completely like a chokehold to me. | |
| But I mean, I would have to get the official photographs to really analyze it properly. | |
| But notice where the arm is. | |
| The arm seems to be a little bit above the throat, more in this area than here. | |
| And also, it's kind of constricted somewhat by the fact that he looks like he's wearing Penny does a jacket that kind of fluffs up the arm, so it makes it even more difficult for the arm to get right in here. | |
| Now, I'm sure they're going to have more pictures and do better analysis than that, but right from that photo, that does not look to me absolutely like a chokehold. | |
| It would be lower and more in the neck. | |
| But it could be, I grant, that the photo is somewhat deceiving. | |
| So there are eyewitnesses, including the man right there, whose testimony on this would be crucial. | |
| It also would be important to have an autopsy to see what the cause of death was. | |
| Was it by strangulation? | |
| Was he severely toxic from either drugs or alcohol that would have an impact on his brain? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I mean, this is the case. | |
| Nobody's even suggested that the autopsy has even been done. | |
| I would say that the vast majority of New Yorkers would like to give Mr. Penny a medal for doing what they wish would be done when they were threatened, which is to come to their aid and stop these people from yelling and screaming and intimidating and doing all the things that they do that make riding the subway now impossible. | |
| Well, as soon as this happened, Of course, the race betas began led by none other than Al Sharpton, which I believe he's still around all the way back with Tawana Brawley and his store burning when the IRS went for his records. | |
| He's still around, yeah. | |
| And he pronounced this, you know, an execution. | |
| AOC did the same. | |
| One of them said an execution, the other said a murder, whatever. | |
| And then they led demonstrations, which led to some violent behavior and demanded that their DA, The one they all put in with Soros, who has no care for the innocent people in New York, just to put the criminals out, puts them out on the street, left and right, that he indict him. | |
| Well, who is this guy, by the way, Neely? | |
| Neely has been arrested, or was arrested up until the time of that incident, 44 or 45 times. | |
| He has been arrested mostly for violent crimes. | |
| He has, in recent times, within the last couple of years, beaten up a 67-year-old woman, beaten up a man of about that age and kicked him while he was down. | |
| kidnapped a seven-year-old girl, and just the day before this happened, he was stopped | |
| from throwing someone on the subway tracks, which is something now that happens rather regularly | |
| in the New York subway, a lot more regularly than I seem to remember | |
| when I was mayor or even a resident of the city. | |
| So we now have a situation where Bragg takes 52% of the felonies brought to him | |
| and doesn't prosecute them as felonies. | |
| He either throws them out or he ratchets them down to misdemeanors. | |
| He has a history of, and I've gone through it before, and I refer you back to my other podcast, but he has a history of putting exceedingly dangerous criminals out on the street without any kind of bail, without any kind of restrictions. | |
| And then we've had more than a few repeat situations where they were out and then they committed the same crime again, and then they come back and they're put out again. | |
| And he has no respect at all. | |
| For all the lives that he's affecting. | |
| Crime is up since he's been a district attorney by somewhere around 20 or 30 percent. | |
| People are much more afraid in New York than they were just a few years ago. | |
| And he really isn't a district attorney. | |
| He's another defense attorney. | |
| In a similar case to this, with a gentleman who had a store in, back to the Dominican Republic, Mr. Albert, had a store in Washington Heights. | |
| This man came into the store, threatened him with a gun, was going to possibly kill him. | |
| And Mr. Albert went and got his gun and shot the man before the man could shoot him. | |
| Mr. Alba was arrested and charged with murder and kept in Rikers Island for five days where he got very sick. | |
| And finally, due to public protest, the case against him was dropped because it was a clear case of self-defense. | |
| And he's left New York and gone back to the Dominican Republic. | |
| Because he feels that he's safer in the Dominican Republic than in Adams, New York. | |
| Safer not only from crime, But from unjust treatment, because he isn't one of the elect. | |
| One of the elect means being a Democrat politician, a Democrat businessman, who gives money to Democrat politicians like Epstein and people like that. | |
| Or it could mean a question of race. | |
| I don't think there's a person in the city that doubts that if Mr. Penney were black, And Mr. Neely were white, that Mr. Penney would be lauded for protecting people against the worst menace in America, white supremacy. | |
| Do you doubt that? | |
| If you do, catch up on the America you're in circa 2023. | |
| The case has a long way to go. | |
| There are going to be a lot of motions and other things done to contest the case. | |
| So we'll take a short break. | |
| And when we come back, I'll give you sort of my concluding comments on how to kind of view it and take a look at it. | |
| And we'll keep you informed of it as it moves along. | |
