4:11 am
whether or not chicago is on the right or wrong track, 71% say wrong track. there is no ambiguity in that nearly three quarters of the residents of christian say they're on the wrong track. that's not going to body well for lightfoot if she is going to try to come back. >> ainsley: top guy chewy jesus garcia 20%. paul vias the former ceo of chicago public schools. also has run a lot. he ran for governor in 2002 against blagojevich, remember he won. 2016 he ran for lieutenant governor and he lost and 2019 he ran for mayor. he is over the schools so he is appearing to do better than lory lightfoot. >> pete: in the schools in the pocket of the union. >> ainsley: i know. crime spiked 2020 under lori lightfoot dealt with covid and high crime. >> pete: gianno caldwell on the big sunday show aired clips of

4:14 am
those beautiful shops are. 50% have moved out. they just want all of that back and want crime -- we want it cleaned up. chicago used to be such a wonderful place to visit. >> pete: why they are so down on lightfoot is that she has done nothing to show that there will be consequences for the crimes that are being committed from just shoplifting all the way to shootings. there isn't consequences in places. and we have seen that other cities as well. >> ainsley: three out of five disagree of the job she has done. 71% say the city is on the wrong track. >> griff: someone who gets no consequences always a celebrate shot. ashley strohmier. >> ashley: he always has the nices tosses i appreciate it, griff. good morning to you all. we do have to switch gears to a fox news alert. a magnitude 5.6 earthquake shaking turkey earlier today. authorities reporting at least 69 injuries and severe building damage in the eastern part of the country. >> this is the latest major aftershock after a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit the region three weeks ago killing

4:24 am
we call and since we can't say they are trespassing on our property, it just falls on deaf ears. as far as the city leaders, the wheels of justice move slowly. and so far we have not heard from them. and this is continually going on. >> griff: seems like they should be moving faster because you've got a burning building next door. why can't the city evict them? why can't they be moved out, these squatters? >> because the property owner won't call the police and trespass the squatters. so when i call there is nothing that they can do. >> griff: jacob, when your neighbor says that it is more dangerous than living and walking down the streets of saigon, what does that say to this crisis? >> it says a lot. whether we first moved to this location, we used to call the police when we heard gunshots and now it's so often there is no reason to be calling.
4:25 am

4:26 am
gone exponentially worse. >> griff: in the last few seconds we have left, jacob, how confident are you that things can get turned around? >> you know, there is always hope when you have faith and i think through talking with some of the wonderful police officers that we have talked to, some of the people that actually clean up from this city, the squatters' garbage and feces and everything else, they are all working together, so i am seeing progress, but the problem is the people that are living there aren't being moved out. so i have hope that things are being done, it's just is it going to get to the point where my actually home catches on fire? >> griff: hopefully the city and state leaders there will hear your message this morning, jacob adams, thank you for taking time to talk to us about it. >> thank you, sir. >> griff: coming up, toxic waste
