How America Became an Open-Air Prison | Guest: Kevin Dolan | 4/16/25

During a recent meeting with Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele pointed out a lesson that Americans have forgotten: Justice for the criminal is liberation for the average citizen. As Karmelo Anthony, the alleged murderer of high school athlete Austin Metcalf, raises hundreds of thousands of dollars while renting a new house and buying a new car, it is hard not to wonder what happened to justice in the United States. Convenience stores lock an increasingly absurd number of products behind glass while shoplifters, thieves, and even murderers receive comically light sentences. Kevin Dolan of the Exit Group joins me to discuss how empathy for criminals has turned the country into an open-air prison.
