mayor lightfoot: i don't think it is a hard pitch.hrough the pandemic, a lot of folks are thinking about where they want to be and whether they need to be in their present location. we want to make sure chicago is part of those conversations. whether it is a company looking to start someplace, we want chicago to be top of mind. whether it is looking at a second headquarters, chicago should be one of the destinations. or tech talent located someplace else, we want them to think about the vibrancy of the tech community in chicago. it is those three tiers -- startups, expansions, or workforce development, chicago needs to be part of the conversation. we have a robust economy, lowest unemployment of any major city. we have had 32 corporate relocations over the last year, companies that could choose anywhere in the world to locate. they are coming here because of the strength of our underlying economy. when it comes to quality of life, you can afford to buy a home in chicago. our -- i will put our arts and culture and music scene up agains

. >> lori lightfoot had the nerve recently to say that crime in chicago was on the decline. that's a blatant lie. crime is not on decline. homicides and shooting rates are up. >> an arrest has been made for the shooting of a chicago cop and two atf agents. they were under cover. the complaint says the shooter thought they were opposing gang members. a 28-year-old chicago man has been charged with using a dangerous and deadly weapon to assault a special agent from the atf. that attack coupled with the unrelenting blood shed overshadowed the visit between president biden. the meeting between biden and chicago mayor lori lightfoot was brief with promise of strike force to depro-to chicago as well as other violent cities. >> from our end, what the president conveyed to mayor lightfoot is that he will continue to work with her in partnership and work with cities around the country to address the rise of violence and specifically the rise of gun violence predominantly the driver in chicago. >> one chicago alderman says a brief chat won't stop bullets. >> this much i know is clear,

he had a significant meeting with mayor lightfoot. she's troubled that she can't get control of the blood shed there. the white house said during the meeting, the president expressed support for two agents and a chicago police officer that were shot and wounded this morning. the president promised the department of justice would be in contact with lori lightfoot regarding a strike force that will be working with them for crime. the wounding of the officers was this morning. there was an ambush of the police officers in morgan park neighborhoods. a person of interest is being questioned. with the gun fire in chicago, innocence are caught in the cross fire and that's what happened. max lewis was riding the l train home when a stray bullet hit him in the head. he survived for days on life support. they took him off the ventilator and he passed away after that. another frightening case out of chicago. and iowa man by the name of key again castille has been arrested after his hotel room was raided overlooking navy pier bill. he had guns ov

mayor lori lightfoot.d in the very next line, blamed police saying that, "cops need to make a arrest before he reaches the court's door." thank you for joining us and as you probably know, this is a city that i know very well and i dearly love. this is happening all over and the crime continues to worsen. we are seeing from the leaders is finger-pointing. you are looking at the situation and you are pitching changes. what you be done to fix it? >> i said before and i will say it again. if you're not ready for the job, you to step aside or step down. and how we say that it starts at the top and it starts in the judicial system. it definitely falls on kim fox. she's going to blame the police because he is been an inadequate state attorney. she is the highest rate of released prisoners from prison and she has everyone on home monitoring systems. she doesn't want to prosecute and she ran a campaign on being more for -- less event comic against crime and more for justice or social justice. this is the downturn.

tammy bruce writes an opinion piece in "the washington times" about mayor lightfoot.he victim in the city crime spree. what did she say, 90% of the criticism of her, mayor lightfoot, is racist and sexist. tammy bruce writes this. "the democrats deliberately divide society using identity politics, convincing their targets, their own constituents, that their only hope is to once again handed their city and lives over to those same democrats and then when their benevolent leftist policies and delimit marxism result in a river of blood, the democrat in charge of chicago uses the very same scourge of identity politics rhetoric to protect yourself from blame." ethan, what should mayor lightfoot be doing when it comes to taking responsibility for what's happening in chicago? >> i think at this stage, this has been building for a number of years. this is not just on one mayor, it's not just on one administration, the type of language that we just heard from tammy bruce adds nothing to the conversation. what needs to happen at this point is there needs to be coordination with

lori lightfoot spoke with the president on the tarmac. she said she gets an update on the agents shot and thanked him for listening. the white house as he reiterated his commitment. one chicago alderman doesn't think you can stop bullets with a chat on the tarmac. >> i don't know what lori lightfoot thought she could do on this meeting, but this much is clear. lori lightfoot does not have a strategy in place that will keep chicago safe. more of the same has made our neighborhoods even more deadly. >> the bloodshed is not limited to gangsters. max limits was a student at the university of chicago. he was coming home from an internship when a stray bullet hit him in the back of the neck. he survived on life support when he signaled to his family that he did not want to live on a machine. the funeral is in denver. >> lori lightfoot has the nerve to say that crime is on the decline. that is a lie. crime and homicide are at. >> speaking of innocents, a 1-month-old was in the car in the englewood neighborhood. she was shot in the head and just

lightfoot much prefers the race conversation over the crime one. she's the andrew cuomo of chicago if only her bodies are piling up in nursing homes, in their streets, their brak, they're black, brown, and young. imagine if she were white, people would start asking questions like is this deliberate, but dare criticize her over her record, you know what she's going to say. >> mayor, in recent months ther have been questions raised abou your temperament and your reaction to criticism, a tribun editorial use the term irascible , how much of d this may have to do with the fact that you're a woman, and specifically a black woman? >> about 99 percent of its. women and people of color are always held to a different standard, and have known that m whole life. >> i would why isn't it 100 percent, her answers are as predictable as cats hangovers. pointing out that she has food on her face is racist. it takes a special person presiding over mass murder to think that they are the victim. she expect you to bleed to deat on the pavement, grateful that your mayor

talked to lori lightfoot the mayor right out there on the tarmac.didn't address all the crime that we have seen in chicago and those numbers are just staggering. he went out to crystal lake which is a red area, one of the few red areas in that very blue state of illinois. he was trying to promote spotlight a political candidate there, a congresswoman lauren underwood who is a democrat. she only won by two points last time it's going to be a very tight race probably or contentious race as we should say in the midterm elections. anyway, there he is with lori lightfoot. and let me just give you some numbers. chicago shootings july 4th weekend at least 100 people shot, including 11 children were shot and 18 people were killed from the ages of 19 to 46. pete: that's right. the president was there to give a speech about infrastructure, which he himself called a boring speech. brian: which is crazy. pete: in the middle of the speech. brian: but it's important. ainsley: fell on the stairs the man had to help him. pete: just a slippery ramp. but, nonetheless

her critics are motivated by things according to lightfoot.d on guns between two years ago and today. same gun laws in chicago. what has changed? the changed is the blm movement of defunding the cops. what we're trying to do in this country is figure out a way to solve problems but a big section of society focused on turning everything into this whole critical race theory that america is a bad place. people who are victims of crime in chicago are by and large people of color. this whole argument about trying to make the public policy about this systemic racism of america is actually harming people of color in the city because they should be funding these police departments not defunding these police departments and they should be making these cities safer. i'm all in on any way to make that happen. but blaming guns and not criminals is the wrong place to start. >> harris: especially if you live in new york city where stabbing are up in the subway to the point it's affecting how many people are taking the subways and stabbing are up on times sq

lightfoot said, quote, the agreement recognizes the tremendous stress of the job and resulting trauma provide additional health and wellness support for officers. former police chief james craig says deals like this are a started slam democratic lawmakers who called defend the police while hiring private security for themselves. >> it is comedy. it is apocrypha he. la just through $15 million from their budget. i bet they didn't reduce the size of the mayor's security team since she's a defund reimagining. put a social worker on your detail, just do that. jillian: she's facing training for hands i crime plan, shootings are up 10% from this time last year while homicides are up 48% from 2019. >> south carolina senator lindsey graham said soft on crime policies will punish them at the polls. >> i think there's a title way brewing. this is going to be 1994 all over again when you look at rapid inflation, out-of-control crime, broken border and general lack of knowing what you are doing, lack of competency the republican party will have a great comeback if we recruit the right people. we

those cities and understands their community, the fact is, governments and politicians like lori lightfootr. this is about -- violence is a factor of that but violence creates fear that keeps people in retreat and it suits them and you know this when she blames racism and sexism, when it's all about her, when it's about those people who are suffering every single day and that great american city and his shame on her and everyone in the democrat party who is facilitating this. >> mark: i don't know how the families of those two little girls fighting for their lives in hospitals aren't entirely sick and insulted by her reaching for those lame tropes. the left talk about other all the time, i am other ring transgender's, but there is nothing basic in terms of otherizing that you open fire and you don't care whether you kill kids? once you were at that stage, how do these guys -- it's nothing political. how do you get pulled back from that? >> that's e the nature of what happens when there were no repercussions. even passivity, it's a decision to sit back and allow that and wheneive subconscio

lightfoot it's your fault because you're a racist and sexist she said last week 99% of the criticismcause she's a black woman. but of course we know it is their fault or at least a large part, take new york where the governor declared a state of emergency not only thousands of police officers left the force as efforts to defend the police were inaccurate but white change law enforcement and made life easier for criminals, new york-based husband limited for large categories including a legal position of firearms last year the new york post reported 88% of suspects arrested for illegal weapons possession are back on the streets soon afterwards. it's really important to understand why the surgeon crime is happening is not a random act of god in an unfortunate accident and tapping as a result of deliberate policy by democrat, politician with the full backing of most of the media who spent most of the year denying the fact that crime wave was happening. above all is happening because cynical political activist back by the media and the democratic establishment sees the opportunity of the

i think it's funny that the president met with lori lightfoot at a chicago airport. crime-ridden cesspools that make up a lot of chicago and i think it's interesting here that we have this culture of nobody on the left wanting to take responsibility. democrats have run the city of chicago for decades and they controlled dose of the houses in the legislature in illinois and they control the governor's mansion yet somehow they need somebody to step in and do something. i've got a solution for them. attend all the criminals in chicago are old ladies who trespass on january 6 and they would be rounding them up in groves. kennedy: leslie let's talk a little bit about the violence in chicago because it's not just gun violence. it's people who don't have respect for human life and decency so how do you tackle that? >> to that point i think they are rounding up the little old ladies. just joking but in chicago between the year 2000 2020 they had crime and gun violence all under democrats. let's look at the facts are the facts are the two areas and i lived in chicago for four

the president went to chicago i met with lori lightfoot at an airport.e never been to frankfurt i've flown to the frankfurt airport i would not say know the city very well. >> i think it is funny the president met with lori lightfoot in the safest place possible like the chicago airport rate rather than actually going to the crime ridden cesspool that make up a lot of chicago. i think it's interesting here that we've got this culture of nobody on the left wanting to take responsibility. democrats are from the city of chicago for decades they control both of the houses of legislature in illinois predict control the governor's mansion. yet somehow they need somebody to step in and do something. i've got a solution for them from pretend all the legs in chicago though after we rounding them up. >> so, let's talk a little bit about the violence in chicago. is not just gun violence. it's people who do not have respect for human life and basic decencies or how do you tackle that? >> to the point i think they are rounding up the little old ladies, no just joking

lori lightfoot was asked about the criticism of her city and the crime wave and she blamed i on the factis black and a. he/she said 99 percent of the criticism is because of that. a lot of this has to do with a lot of identity politics. she could just hopefully escape culpability and say it's not al it's because i'm a black gay person. people gave her a lot of room t grow and instead of growing, sh is dying on the vine and the city is going with it. the democratic strategy right now is talk about gun violence, not talk about the gun and. when you remove the person from the act, you remove your own responsibility from it. the elimination of responsibility eliminates the pressure on you to do anything about it. it's gun violence, it's not the we don't have to do anything about the people we need to get more laws, so gun violence pull through the stupidity of cnn were somehow criminals don't exist, our sin doesn't exist, but these guns are walking around, these guns are walking around to shooting at people. they're not being held by anybody. it's just like how they fires mysteriously starte

now that it's actually happening, lightfoot calls the policy unwieldy as usual when it comes to education, the mayor is doing the strapped for cash routine. sorry teachers maybe be a cop next reincarnation. but if there's any reason that the city in schools have had financial trouble, it's from letting privatized one, the show. rather than tax the rich to fund that the school system long ago financial lived and lost money investing in exotic debt instruments that costs the school system at least $617000000.00. since these payments were themselves largely debt financed to people of chicago via the taxes paid to cps will end up paying wall street nearly $1000000000.00 on these losses. for a generation of students, neal liberal privatize years have called the shots in america's education policy. they've slashed budgets, close schools, fired teachers, and push standardized testing. so far up everyone's. we're all spitting out scantron sheets. and despite all their bold promises, none of this has made the system better. democratizing school boards may be a small step, but it's in the right dir
