Why are homeless people freezing to death in New York City?
Homeless people in New York freezing to death because of the insane, quote-unquote, empathy of Zoran Mamdani Plus. More insane empathy causing more death up in Canada, where apparently pretending that boys can be girls actually does not prevent people from doing terrible, terrible things. And we get into the latest on the economy. The economy is pretty good, so why are people feeling so down on it? First, we just looked at what's trending on Daily Wire Plus right now, and there it is, the real history of slavery, episode one of Real History with Matt Walsh. We'll be right back. The debates happen here on the show, and now the takeaways can land in your inbox. Every week, I write a newsletter that distills a full week of analysis into one place.
Consider it an end-of-week memo straight from my desk. It's a comprehensive look at the stories dominating the news, what matters, why it matters, what's at stake. It's delivered straight to you every Friday. To sign up for the Ben Shapiro Show newsletter, be sure to follow me at the Daily Wire Plus app or at dailywire.com. You know, there's a professor named Gad Saad. Gad Saad coined a term called suicidal empathy. And the basic idea is that you're so empathetic to somebody that it ends up harming you. So great example would be the way that the West has approached immigration from third world countries. You feel bad for people, you open your borders, lots of people come in and then they harm your civilization.
But it seems like we are now moving beyond even suicidal empathy into homicidal empathy, by which I mean that your empathy for someone actually gets them killed. Great example of that happening today over in New York City. So Zahra Mamdani, who promised, as producer Sarah points out, the warmth of collectivism. Remember this? We're going to move beyond the grittiness of individuality and we're going to bask in the warm embrace, the warm bath that is collectivism. It turns out people are freezing to death in New York City. They are freezing to death on the streets of New York City. Despite all of his photo ops shoveling the snow, he was out shoveling. By the way, I was just in New York City. All snow ain't getting shoveled.
All the trash ain't getting picked up. But here was Mom Donnie doing his level best to look as though he cares about shoveling snow. That's a lot of snow, my dude. I don't think you are going to be able to do that by yourself. And also, for a man who cannot bench press 135 pounds once, it's going to be a long day shoveling snow for Zorn Mom Donnie. I don't think the people of New York can count on his shoveling skills. He's usually shoveling horse crap. Anyway, here he is. Do you feel safer? Do you feel better, New York? Exactly. This Pete Buttigieg riding the bike. This is, wow. Everything is safe for now. People are not slipping. People are not falling. The snow has ceased. All is well. The serious side of this is that, as the New York Post points out, Zor Mamdani has embraced a hands-off policy with regard to homelessness.
This was the policy in California.
How does empathy contribute to homelessness policies?
It remains the policy in places like Los Angeles. This hands-off policy that basically is empathetic toward the homeless to the point where you're killing the homeless. You say that they should be able to live out on the streets. That is a form. of cruelty and intolerance to involuntarily commit people who are usually drug addicted or schizophrenic, serious mental illnesses, people who can't take care of themselves. Somehow it is more empathetic to leave them out on the streets to get scabies or to die in the cold. This seems to be the way that the left wing brain is working in Mamdani land and also out in California and other liberal areas of the country. 18 people have died in the cold snap that has hit New York City.
Brian Steddon, who served as a senior advisor to Mayor Eric Adams' administration, told the New York Post, quote, when a person is in imminent danger, there's no debate. Whatever ideological divides we have should not have any impact on these policies during a code blue.
