Foreigna I'm back with a new mini episode of Pod Force One. This feature is a little more topical and relevant to my job as a columnist for the New York Post. Today's topic is about the dangerous manipulation of female compassion for political purposes such as defending Democrats irrational law and order or should I say lawlessness and disorder policies. A young liberal woman refused to cooperate with prosecutors after violent recidivist Rommel Burke attacked her on the subway five weeks before he allegedly pushed a retired New York City teacher to his death on Thursday. Now the 23 year old woman has regrets. Maybe a part of me was just like I don't want to put another black man in jail, she told the Post. Maybe if she had indulged in less self congratulatory empathy for the maniac who allegedly tried to kill her and felt more compassion for her fellow New Yorkers Left to the mercy of an out of control predator roaming the streets, Ross Falzone would still be alive. But Falzone, 76, was unlucky enough to be entering the Chelsea subway station Thursday evening when Burke allegedly randomly shoved him down a flight of stairs, leaving the beloved ex teacher teacher to die hours later at Bellevue Hospital from a catastrophic brain injury. The woman's irrational attitude to public safety is a textbook example of suicidal empathy, the condition described by evolutionary psychologist Gad Saad in which compassion becomes so excessive that people or societies make decisions that undermine their own survival. It's as good an explanation as any to describe the years long harassment campaign by sizable chunks of the public against law enforcement in New York and around the country. Even as chaos and disorder grow, the predators get bolder and the body count rises. The irony is that women, just like Burke's lucky former victim, are overrepresented in the ranks of angry anti nypd, anti ICE agitators. They are among the most vulnerable targets of violent predators, yet they insist on protecting them at the expense of their victims. ISA agents, many of whom are Hispanic, prioritise the arrests of murderers and child rapists among the illegal migrants they look for, whether in Minneapolis or New York. But their biggest opponents are feral, shrieking women who have been brainwashed into misdirecting their natural nurturing instincts towards the perpetrator. These women are, quote unquote, so concerned about how they'll be perceived by the public to the point where they refuse to do the right thing, says psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, author of Therapy Nation, a timely book about modern culture's psychological unraveling, to be published next week. It's another manifestation of the so called woke mind virus, ideological conditioning and horrifically terrible judgment that that distorts all logic. They feel like it's their duty to take a stand and not be responsible for stopping illegal migrants coming into the country or sending a black man to prison. Quote still quoting but the guilt this young woman who refused to testify against Burke is feeling now far outweighs any perception of racism she might have felt. It's women and children who are most at risk in a city plagued by the soft on crime policies implemented since 2020 by Success leftist governors and mayors. Yet 84% of women aged 18 to 29 voted in COP hater Zoran Mamdani as mayor on the promise of replacing NYPD officers with social workers to deal with mental health emergencies, homelessness and even domestic violence. The judge who released Burke despite a recent string of four arrests for bizarre and violent behaviour is also a woman. Judge Marva Brown, a former Legal Aid Society public defender, is known for her lenient treatment of violent felons. In an undated video of a speech during the rounds of social media, she explains her thinking, quote, the personal effect of having an incarcerated family member is very strong with me in the work that I do each and every day. A few hours before he allegedly murdered Falzone, cops took Burke to Bellevue Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation after arresting him yet again for crazy menacing behaviour. The hospital reportedly let him out on the street after about an hour and later defended its fateful decision as quote, appropriate. Was it appropriate for Falzone or for the city's decision makers who turn a blind eye to public safety in the name of compassion for the criminal? Rampant homelessness, open air drug dens, defunded police and emasculated justice systems are hallmarks of Democrat cities and all are justified in the name of compassion. The biggest defenders of this breakdown of moral order are pampered white liberal women who are so conspicuous that they have earned the acronym AWFUL for affluent white female liberal. President Trump triggers these women into paroxysms of performative rage, escalating from the pussy hat protests of his first term to the anti ice protests and mystifying no Kings rallies across the country. Almost 90% of no Kings participants were white, almost 60% were women median age 44, and almost 1/4 agreed with the statement that Americans may have to resort to violence in order to save our country, according to researchers at American University who surveyed the group in Washington, D.C. last year. Sometimes, if they are quite literally mugged by reality, these women change their tune like the Young Turks podcast co host Anna Kasparian. She said she quit the Democratic Party after being berated by fellow liberals as a heartless racist for saying she was afraid to leave her house after being sexually assaulted by a homeless man while walking her dog in Los Angeles. Spencer Pratt, the longshot MAGA candidate running to be mayor of la is attracting similarly red pilled liberal moms to his women and Children first public safety messages. But we shouldn't have to wait for women to become victims of crime before they wake up the weaponization of compassion has also led to disproportionately female support for political assassination. According to a January survey from the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers, support for political murder is about 15% higher among females than among males. The survey came out just four months after the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, allegedly by a young man driven by transgender ideology, and months after two separate assassination attempts against Donald Trump and a year after Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in the back in midtown Manhattan, allegedly by another cold blooded police political assassin, Luigi Mangione. Mangione, 28, now boasts an army of starry eyed female fans who send him steamy love letters in prison and swoon over his every court appearance. Justification for the murder of Donald Trump jumped to 67% from 56% last April among left of centre respondents surveyed by Rutgers, while 54% of right of centre was respondents express justification for murdering Zoran Mamdani showing the Luigi culture has jumped the ideological divide. But it was the women who most surprised the Rutgers researchers who wrote that the quote, unexpected rise in tolerance for assassination rhetoric among women under conditions of high social media exposure indicates that something fundamental in the moral environment has shifted. This shift matters because women have historically played a stabilizing role in civic and social life across cultures. They are more strongly associated with norms of care, harm avoidance and social cohesion. When even groups long linked to moral restraint begin to show elevated tolerance for political violence, it suggests that the erosion is not ideological but structural. End quote. Yes, it's terrifying. Women's nurturing instincts have been turned into weapons of political warfare, especially to the service of the left. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to come back on Wednesday for the next episode of Pod force one with Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the White House counterterrorism czar who who has just released a new strategy to combat terrorism that is focused on national security and actually protecting the country, including from anti American violent groups like Antifa. It sounds good, but can the Trump administration safeguard against the next Democrat administration weaponizing these new tools against their political opponents as they have done before. We ask Dr. Gorka that and a lot more. Hope you can tune in and have a great week.
