South Africa's murder rate of 45 people per 100,000 is more than 10 times higher than the average murder rate of other G20 countries. With the country preparing to host the 2025 G20 Summit this weekend, this stark figure has drawn intense international attention. While the summit is meant to spotlight global cooperation and policy priorities, South Africa's violent crime levels have risen to the forefront of global conversation. The country, currently holding the G20 presidency, is preparing to welcome delegates for discussions on inclusive economic growth, industrialisation, employment, and reducing inequality. Conversations will also focus on ensuring food security and utilising Artificial Intelligence and innovation for sustainable development. Listen to the full conversation...

PREVIEW The conversation focuses on President Claudia Sheinbaum's actions against the cartels amid US pressure, following an unacceptable murder rate, including the recent killing of the ninth mayor since she became president. Sheinbaum has cooperated with Donald Trump, allowing unarmed US surveillance flights and hiring credible security official García Haruch. A major challenge is that her party, Morena, is widely believed to be complicit with the cartels, following López Obrador's failed policy of appeasement. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. 1931

People are celebrating the drop in Washington’s murder rate, but the numbers are somewhat misleading. Seattle has issued new guidelines for Denny Blaine Park to curb nudity and lewd sexual acts. A homeplate umpire in last night’s Orioles-Blue Jays game was lambasted for missing a very obvious strike call. // The claims of mass starvation in Gaza seems specious at best. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is threatening to recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not accept a ceasefire. There will be a terrorist-sympathizing 5K run in Redmond this weekend. // A TikTok influencer in New York has gone viral for critiquing bad walkers.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump's new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore's murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it's working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it's no mystery what's driving the improvement.Next, they dissect President Trump's trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

This week, we're checking back in on one of the biggest stories of the year: the murder rate's record decline. So, we've got the nation's most widely-cited crime data analyst on the show to explain what's going on. Jeff Asher of AH Datalytics runs a crime database that updates weekly, but manages to track closely to the FBI's reports. However, he's able to report crime trends months or even years before the FBI. Asher said the latest news is very good. Murder is on a record decline as we move through the halfway point of 2025. Asher said the murder decline isn't just happening at a record pace, but it's likely to end at a record low as well. He noted the decline is nationwide and puts some cities below the raw number of murders seen in previous decades, not just the murder per capita rate. Asher also analyzed some of the common reasons offered up for why murder has fallen, and said it's not easy to explain. But he also gives his preferred theory. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

In conversation with Lester Kiewit, Alan Winde Western Cape Premier reflects on the recent decline in the province’s murder rate over three consecutive quarters, attributing the progress in part to targeted interventions like the LEAP initiative. The Premier also touches on the urgent need for increased policing resources, greater devolved authority from national government, and stronger partnerships with the justice system, highlighting the importance of addressing root causes of violence through socio-economic development, youth support programmes, and community-led safety initiatives.

This week, we're talking about some good news. Some very good news, actually. The murder rate, which has been on the decline for a couple of years now, is on pace to hit a record low. That's what the early data collected by Jeff Asher's AH Datalytics indicates. Asher joins the show to break down the numbers he's seeing so far. He said the murder rate surged during the pandemic, but it has already fallen back to those levels and kept dropping further. While the FBI's murder data for 2025 won't be out for nearly a year, Asher collects crime data from many of the same sources. He said his data shows a huge early decline in the murder rate that would equate to an all-time low if sustained. He cautioned that the decline is likely to slow as the year progresses, but it should still hit a record. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

Jackson, Mississippi is sitting at 22 homicides as of May 13th 2025, they were at 44 this time last year so they're down 50% year over year. Who should get the credit for this accomplishment?

For our Wednesday politics episode, District Attorney Larry Krasner visits City Cast Philly to make his case for why he deserves a third term as the city's chief prosecutor. He touts the lowest murder rate in a half-century, compares his opponent to Donald Trump, tells his side of why there hasn't been a debate in the race, talks about the Eagles' visit to the White House, discusses the role of George Soros' money in his campaigns, analyzes the mayor's “work-in-progress” plan in Kensington, and defends himself from criticism that he doesn't work well with other elements of law enforcement. His opponent, former Judge Pat Dugan – who rejects any comparison to Trump, by the way – will be on the show next Wednesday, May 7, so stay tuned. The Democratic primary election for district attorney is May 20.  Thoughts on the D.A.'s race?

This week, we're looking at crime data and the unprecedented drop in the murder rate. That's why we have Jeff Asher from AH Datalytics back on the show. He has been following and reporting crime data for decades, and he explains how dramatic the downturn in murder is compared to the incredible spike we saw just a few years ago. He said 2023 saw a record drop in murder, and 2024 is on pace to see the same. Asher discussed how crime stats are calculated, addressed some of the critiques of them, and explained why he believes murder data is especially trustworthy this year. He also noted violent crime and property crime haven't followed murder. While they, too, have fallen in recent years, they also never saw the same kind of horrendous spike that murder did in 2020 and 2021. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

When Nelson Mandela and the ANC delivered South Africa from Apartheid in the 90s, hopes were high that the country could become a beacon of freedom and fairness. A generation later, those dreams lie in tatters. Elites have plundered state coffers to the tune of billions, mines have been taken over by illegal “chancers,” and the ghettoes of South Africa's largest city, Cape Town, are suffering levels of violence unseen since segregation. Left with few opportunities, corrupt cops and hundreds of gangs, locals have turned to private security firms, the country's new boom trade. Others have thrown up roadblocks and christened whip-wielding vigilante groups, as the country descends into ever more hellish levels of organized crime.

Everyone loves a good counternarrative, especially when the prevailing narrative is a dire one and the counter offers credible reasons for hope – backed by data that bears up to scrutiny. In this episode, writer Troy Aidan Sambajon talks with host Clay Collins about a crime-stat story that became something more.

Everyone loves a good counternarrative, especially when the prevailing narrative is a dire one and the counter offers credible reasons for hope – backed by data that bears up to scrutiny. In this episode, writer Troy Aidan Sambajon talks with host Clay Collins about a crime-stat story that became something more. It's a validation – with some big caveats – of community policing, community agency, and the central ingredient: a willingness to try building trust.

The murder rate is falling again, and mass shootings have been absent so far this year. This is good news, but it's also a bit confusing. Why is the murder rate dropping after several years of increasing? Is the same effect happening with mass shootings? Does the data show the two are connected? That's why we've got data analyst Jeff Asher back on the show. He runs AH Datalytics and collects his own crime statistics. He joined us last year when his crime data suggested 2023 would see a huge downturn in murder across the country. He was right. This year, he's seeing an even larger decline. Mass shootings are down, too. Whatever definition you use for the awful phenomenon, and we discuss the pros and cons of the different ones out there, the downtrend is interesting--especially since it now appears to track with overall murder. Jeff does his best to explain why these trends are happening and look forward, though he emphasizes the future is impossible to predict. Special Guest: Jeff Asher.

Weaponizing social media with his own brand of populist authoritarianism, promoting cryptocurrency and imprisoning 70 thousand of his countrymen in order to pacify El Salvador's gang warfare, we ask, who is the real Nayib Bukele?  Manuel Melendez-Sanchez, a PhD candidate in political science at Harvard University, joins us on the LatinNews podcast to discuss, not only Bukele's security policy - admired by some and abhorred by others - , but also his economic policy and concentration of power in El Salvador.  Is El Salvador really the safest country in Latin America as President Bukele often claims?

In this week's episode Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman, a retired US Army Ranger and psychology professor known for his expertise in violence and crime psychology joins me to discuss the current state of crime and violence, emphasizing the need for individuals to be prepared and armed, both physically and mentally. Listen in as we also touch on topics such as hunting, gun laws, media influence, and the impact of sleep deprivation on societal problems.   Lt. Col. Dave Grossman is an internationally recognized scholar, author, soldier, and speaker who is one of the world's foremost experts in the field of human aggression and the roots of violence and violent crime.     Col. Grossman is a former West Point psychology professor, Professor of Military Science, and an Army Ranger who has combined his experiences to become the founder of a new field of scientific endeavor, which has been termed “killology.”  In this new field Col. Grossman has made revolutionary new contributions to our understanding of killing in war, the psychological costs of war, the root causes of the current "virus" of violent crime that is raging around the world, and the process of healing the victims of violence, in war and peace.     Today Col. Grossman is the director of Grossman On Truth, LLC (www.GrossmanOnTruth.com).  In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he has written and spoken extensively on the terrorist threat, with articles published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Civil Policy and many leading law enforcement journals, and he has been inducted as a “Life Diplomate” by the American Board for Certification in Homeland Security, and a “Life Member” of the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute.   Learn more about the gift of Adversity and my mission to help my fellow humans create a better world by heading to www.marcusaureliusanderson.com.

This week, we're taking a closer look at the data that indicates the murder rate is finally on a downward slope. And there's no better guest to have than the man who has documented the decline. Crime analyst Jeff Asher joins the show to give us insight into his methodology for tracking murder across the country. His numbers show what could be a historic reversal of the recent murder spike. The data from over 100 city police departments indicate murder may be down as much as 10 percent. But Asher also explains the limitations of real-time data as well as the continuing problems with the FBI's data collection. Still, he says trends in even a few cities can be broadly predictive nationwide. And what he's seeing is backed up by other measures as well. Of course, not every city is improving, and Asher highlights standout cities going in either direction. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I talk about the downturn in gun sales. And we have another member segment!

If you let them out of jail early they kill. Woman in Phoenix killed by black man. Media ignores the story. Because it's black on white crime? A carbon neutral economy would cost at least $50 trillion and the Department of Energy can't give us the cost-benefit analysis of doing so. Murder rates are not higher in red states than blue states. That's an urban myth based on faulty analysis from the Third Wave group.

There have already been a dozen murders in the Boston area and its early February. WTF is going on??
