New York Assembly member Emily Gallagher defended retail theft from stores like CVS and Walgreens, characterizing it as a response to "biological needs" and wealth disparity. The hosts dispute this, citing the massive financial losses and store closures caused by organized retail crime. They also discuss how the removal of punishments for minors in Chicago led to a surge in carjackings, refuting the idea that reporting on crime is "fear-mongering."

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled in favor of abolishing the state's cash bail system, making it the first state to do so. Proponents of the Pretrial Fairness Act argue that "wealth-based jailing" disproportionately impacts minority communities. Critics, however, express concern that the policy will lead to increased crime rates by allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the community while awaiting trial.

Governor Jerry Brown signed a landmark bill to eliminate cash bail in California by October 2019, replacing it with a risk-assessment system based on algorithms. The move aims to reform criminal justice but faces criticism for giving judges too much discretionary power. Additionally, California is moving forward with its own net neutrality laws, which the hosts anticipate will be a "grand experiment."
