The hosts debate this at length — their conclusion being that the absence of a crime scene doesn't mean the shots weren't fired. Chicago's epidemic violence makes this especially pointed: a city with constant shootings now has fewer tools to respond to them. Andreessen articulates the woke political logic — automated enforcement systems disproportionately affect disadvantaged communities, therefore they are racist — before pointing out that the victims of violent crime come disproportionately from those same communities. The civil libertarian argument he calls legitimate; the woke version, he says, doesn't hold up under scrutiny.
