InfluenceWatch Podcast #349: Biden’s Defund the Police Door Dash


On its way out the door, the Biden administration provided a number of exit gifts for its allies amongst left-wing groups: feminists and abortion-rights activists received a legally toothless declaration that the Equal Rights Amendment, which had a ratification deadline that expired no later than 1982, was validly ratified; Native American activists and the extreme-left saw American Indian Movement radical Leonard Peltier, convicted of involvement in the deaths of two FBI agents, released from prison; and Big Philanthropy saw longtime liberal megadonor George Soros honored with a Presidential Medal of Freedom. But defund-the-police activists got another, very substantive exit-row gift from Biden’s government that wasn’t nearly as prominent: A proposed “consent decree” between the federal government and the Louisville Police Department strictly controlling how the Louisville PD will operate going forward. Joining us to discuss the decree is Neal Cornett, an attorney representing the Heritage Foundation in its efforts to intervene as a friend of the court.
