Daniel Penny, Jordan Neely, and the Real Reason NYC has so much Crime (mini-doc)
Does this city want to die? It sure seems like it...
Featuring Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute.

New York City engineered a crime decline miracle in the 90s. Rudy Giuliani and his police chief Bernard Kerik used the pure power of policing, including aggressive gun confiscations and "stop and frisk," to slash the city's murder rate from over 2,000 a year to under 300.
The city started to suffer a steady corrosion of this legacy under Bill DeBlasio, who took over as mayor in 2021 and hemmed in policing power with intrusive regulations insensitive to the realities of urban crime. Then, in 2020, that corrosion was turbocharged when the country's "racial reckoning" powered a horde of anti-police activists into city government. That includes TIffany Caban, Jumaane Williams and Kristin Richardson Jordan, who've dramatically cut the NYPD budget and further hamstrung police with fantastical rules such as the "diaphragm" law, which effectively prohibits officers from putting any pressure at all on a suspect's chest or neck during the course of an arrest.
This war on police has enabled violent chaos to spread throughout the city.
Jordan Neely was a product of this chaos. A schizophrenic homeless black man who'd been arrested nearly 40 times, Neely died on a New York City subway car in May. Neely had reportedly been threatening passengers and screaming that he wasn't afraid to go to jail when a fellow passenger named Daniel Penny, a white ex-marine, threw him into a chokehold. Jordan died while restrained. Video of the incident made national news and was quickly framed by activists as a brazen act of white supremacy. NYC's political establishment appears to agree: Penny has been indicted for manslaughter and now faces up to 19 years in jail.
These fashionable woke slogans obscure the true cause of Neely's demise: under-policing.
New York City has seen the power of police first-hand and yet it refuses to re-use that playbook to address its modern murder problem.

Lee Fang is a fully independent, fully fearless reporter who recently released an explosive investigation into the efforts of pharmaceutical companies to censor contrarian COVID voices. Fang found several major drug companies, including Moderna, had financed third-party non-profit groups with the veneer of scientific objectivity to work with major social media companies to suppress prominent people saying inconvenient -- but often true -- things about the COVID vaccine.

Lenore Skenazy is the mother of “free range parenting,” the radical philosophy that parents can parent best by… leaving their kids alone. Children need ample time away from the watchful eyes of adults to properly develop.
Lenore recently sat down with GKP in NYC to discuss the evils of “Trunk or Treat” and the glory in letting an eleven year old bike across the Brooklyn Bridge all alone.

The Broken Boys of Kenosha: Jacob Blake, Kyle Rittenhouse, and the Lies We Still Live By
We thought we knew everything about the shootings of Jacob Blake and the killings of Kyle Rittenhouse. We don't. This is what really happened.
Featuring: former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, Columbia University professor John McWhorter, former Daily Caller journalist Richie McGinniss, and Rundown Live host Kristan Harris.
During the summer of 2020, with COVID lockdowns and Black Lives Matter hysteria still ravaging the country, Kenosha, Wisconsin was ground zero for two separate mega-viral incidents. The national media descended, squeezed these twin tragedies for clicks and ratings, and then moved on.
We went back to Kenosha to expose the standard media narrative for what it is: mostly lies. And we found the truth, the real catastrophe connecting Blake and Rittenhouse that never made national headlines.

School is not built for boys (mini-doc)
Why are so many American boys hooked on Adderall?
Millions of young men are being sent to school, confined to a desk, told to sit still and ordered to do homework. And when they rebel, the default explanation is that there must be something broken in their brains, that they have "attention deficit disorder" and need swift neuro-chemical correction.
But what if this diagnosis gets the causality backwards? That the problem isn’t the boy; it’s the school. That the particular design features of modern k-12 violate the basic programming of the young male homo sapien...

There is No Free Speech "Crisis" on Campus: The Trial of Amy Wax (Ep. 1 of 3)
Come along with us to some of the most prestigious colleges in America. We’ve come to campus to bury forever a popular culture warrior talking point: there is no college free speech “crisis.” Crisis requires conflict. It requires warring parties. And on campus today, the war is... over. The dissidents lost, and the mono-culture is the new normal.
Our first episode features the case of Amy Wax, professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Wax is on the brink of having her tenure broken and job dissolved for the offense of... expressing controversial political opinions.
A product of working class upstate New York, Wax has been unapologetically critical of affirmative action, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," and other left-wing shibboleths.
Features an interview with Brown professor Glenn Loury.

Why is Fauci Underming the Lab Leak Investigation? w/ the Washington Post's Josh Rogin
Roughly two years ago, Josh Rogin, a China columnist for the Washington Post, went on Joe Rogan's podcast and laid out a possible epic irony at the heart of America's pandemic response: Anthony Fauci, our loving COVID savior, had long been the federal government's foremost champion of gain-of-function research, and gain-of-function research could be what birthed COVID in the first place. Back then, Rogin was widely pilloried for pushing a MAGA conspiracy theory. Today, with lab leak looking increasingly likely as the origin story of the pandemic and Fauci steadily obfuscating his role in the work of the Wuhan lab, Rogin looks epicly vindicated.
In part 2, we do a deep dive into the on-going congressional investigations into lab leak:

There is No Free Speech "Crisis" on Campus: A Princeton Inquisition (Ep. 2 of 3)
CENSORED ON YOUTUBE
Support us on substack: https://goodkidproductions.substack.com/
Come along with us to some of the most prestigious colleges in America. We’ve come to campus to bury forever a popular culture warrior talking point: there is no college free speech “crisis.” Crisis requires conflict. It requires warring parties. And on campus today, the war is... over. The dissidents lost, and the mono-culture is the new normal.
In this second episode, we revisit the infamous case of Joshua Katz.
In the summer of 2020, at the peak of our national racial reckoning, hundreds of professors at Princeton University co-signed an “anti-racism” manifesto that, if implemented, would have turned their school into a woke indoctrination center. The manifesto called for: mandatory anti-racism training; expansive race-based hiring and promotion quotas; the elimination of standardized testing; and extra salary and sabbaticals for black professors.
The only Princeton professor willing to publicly criticize these obscene demands was an otherwise anonymous, self-described “library rat” named Joshua Katz, a long-time professor of classics and widely beloved undergraduate instructor boasting some of the most popular classes on campus.
Everyone already knows how Katz’s story ends: he was fired. The news prompted international headlines. The official pretext was that Katz had had an inappropriate relationship with an undergraduates. That always felt like cynical spin: Katz had long ago admitted to his indiscretion and had been formally punished for it. This re-investigation would have been barred by double jeopardy protections in a normal criminal court. Most outsiders rightly saw Katz’s firing as an obvious act of ideological retaliation.
But there’s always been a mystery at the heart of Katz’s case: Who set off that second investigation? Who was the prime mover?
We think we found out.
This episode features interviews with free speech lawyer Samantha Harris and Princeton professors Sergiu Klannerman and Bernard Haykl.
Episode three dropping soon.

Blake Masters on Immigration, Homeschooling, and his Senate Run
Blake Masters has a better resume than you.
While at Stanford law school, Masters dropped in on a couple classes with Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire who occasionally moonlights as a college professor. Masters’ notes from that class got turned into a book -- “Zero to One” -- which promptly became a New York Times best-seller and is now widely heralded as one of the best business books of all time. Since graduating law school, Masters has helmed Thiel’s venture capital fund as well as his charitable foundation, which is best known for paying top-flight high school graduates to skip college and build their own businesses.
Masters, a native of Tucson, AZ, is now running for John McCain’s old Senate seat. He recently sat down with GKP to talk about the fascist underpinnings of the K-12 system, the evils of putting masks on kids, and what he learnedn from Glenn Youngkin’s stunning victory in Virginia’s gubernatorial race.

The Case Against Black Lives Matter with Bevelyn Beatty
“My cousin had just gotten shot […] he ended up getting his leg amputated. All of this protesting is happening. BLM is pushing all of this. [But] black men against black men and they’re silent. While the cops are at the protests, the people in the hood are still killing each other.”
Bevelyn Beatty made national news at the height of the George Floyd protests when she defaced several Black Lives Matters murals in New York City. Bevelyn sits down with Good Kid Productions to talk about how BLM profits off the pain of black people, her personal formula for escaping poverty, and why institutional racism is “a lie from the pit of hell.”
