Heather Mac Donald: The Great Inversion -- Why Government Now Shields Criminals Over Citizens | C&B

In this explosive interview, Manhattan Institute fellow and bestselling author Heather Mac Donald joins Buck Sexton to expose what she calls “The Great Inversion”—a dangerous shift in American governance where violent criminals are coddled while law-abiding citizens are left vulnerable. Drawing on real crime data and policy failures, Mac Donald argues that progressive prosecutors, activist judges, and federal agencies have created a justice system that punishes compliance and rewards chaos.

Topics include:

How soft-on-crime policies are fueling urban violence

The erosion of police authority and public trust

Why identity politics and racial narratives distort criminal justice

What must change to restore safety and accountability
