wise mayor lori lightfoot just waking up to the reality of defunding her department? >> those folks and the criminals who support having their way in any particular city. this mayor should have done this a long time ago through emergency authorization, and in july 6, '00 people shot, 300 children shot, and in chicago, police department has a morale issue. in addition to that we have a cook county prosecutor who is their religion their duties in every way, criminal after criminal, people charged with violent felonies over 25,000 people including folks who were charged with murder. how can we help the city which violence in chicago should be the number one issue, when the teams and cohesively working together to solve the issue that plagued the city. todd: how far will this go with the chicago pd or is it broken beyond repair. >> the way it works officers i talked to it is broken beyond repair. the truth of the matters you have to hold police officers accountable for doing their job but also be supportive of these individuals, they put their lives and harm's way in a lo

if lori lightfoot wants to stop this in chicago this might be a little much common sense is she's a letple defend themselves every single gun control law you can possibly imagine on the books. they have got licensing and background checks and gun free zones red flag gun confiscation and none of it works. because at the end of the day would criminalize gun ownership only criminals own guns. imagine for a moment if chicago had constitutional carry 21 states across america where people are allowed to defend themselves but criminal are forced to think twice she wants to stop gun violence also the war on drugs. the idea going to put a bunch and somehow magically and the gang violence i don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. but what is also worrisome for me as this is really ramping up civil asset forfeiture which again received in city after city time after time. this affects people who cannot afford to defend themselves. they have things taken away from them by law enforcement and politicians. and often times too expensive to even fight to get it back. >> i think that's absolute

police officers that it's almost an insurmountable obstacle to achieving justice for victims, lori lightfootm fox, neither want to hold criminals accountable out of fear what that it will somehow be racist to hold people accountable for their actions. what they're doing in the meantime is ignoring the victims in every community who are savagely targeted by individuals who are committed to repeating crimes over and over again. every day in chicago, repeat offenders are appearing in our headlines, while on parole, committing a new crime or similar crimes. no one is stopping them and our leadership now is emboldening them further by saying even if you have video evidence, even if you have eyewitnesses, it is simply not enough. to allow someone out of jail simply because they say it wasn't them or they were shooting at someone else is an insane policy when it comes to administering justice in the city of chicago. jillian: one more thing. as far as the weekend shootings in chicago, since friday evening, four people were killed, eight children shot. what solutions do you have for this? >> you know

meanwhile, in chicago mayor lori lightfoot praising the city's teachers for scaring students with theirit or not, the students in the classroom are actually the lucky ones because they are at least allowed to go to school. data shows across the country, at least 1,000 schools have closed since july due to covid concerns. when we ever be allowed to go back to normal? here now is miranda devine and fox news contributor and here is david, host of just listen to yourself podcast. i love your podcast. all right, we'll start with you miranda. the teachers union demanded a lot of money with covid in order to open up your they also demanded to be at the front line for covid vaccines. we all gave in to their demands to get our kids back to school. and now, they are closed. a thousand schools. it has kind of went under the radar. what do you make of this? >> well, it is never enough for the teachers union. it didn't match up that the teachers were at the front of the queue. the fact is that children don't need to be vaccinated as adults. study after study from north carolina from sweden from norw

chicago mayor lori lightfoot to boost spending after defunding the police department last year. years, how did they think they were going the play out when they were all in the front lines led by alexandria ocasio-cortez to defund our police department? >> you know, i have to tell you, maria, let's talk about chicago. what's comical, so now cities are backing off this whole defund the police movement but the damage is already done. the men and women of chicago pd, aye had conversations with them. they don't feel supported and all of a sudden you want to hire more police. how are you going to retain them and recruit? the damage is done. she's not a leader. we know factually what cpd did when one of the officers was recovering from injuries. they turned their back. they don't respect and they don't support her and she's got a bigger problem on her hands. now you want to throw money at it and even our governor last year, she said, oh, well, i support the spirit of defund and now she's trying to -- what does the spirit mean? maria: yeah. >> and so that's something that she needs to

city employees there must be fully vaccinated by october 15th but mayor lori lightfoot's mandate is facing chicago with more. >> for employers, this mandate could make it harder to find and hire workers for employees it means they are increasingly faced with a decision. either get vaccinated or be subjected to regular testing. or in some extreme cases like here in chicago they could be fired and lose their job entirely. in the state of illinois the governor is mandating all healthcare workers, all teachers and staff prek through 12th great and students at staff at colleges and universities get vaccinated by september 19th. the city of chicago you mentioned going even further. all city workers have to get vaccinated or they could lose their job. it includes police, firefighters, and paramedics. as you mentioned, labor unions are starting to push back big time. the president of the firefighters union says i am 100% opposed to the mandate. it should be a personal decision. bus drivers are also quitting over the city's mandate. 90 of them. chicago public school drivers quit just days before th

now, mayor lori lightfoot is refunding the police after slashing nearly 60 million from the budget. >he officer wellness program for the chicago police department, so our incredibly hard working officers have the resources they need to recover and heal from the stress and trauma they also experience every day. cheryl: she's re-funding the police, overall the mayor's $16 billion budget also getting some help from the federal government. the city's going to receive nearly $2 billion as part of the american rescue plan which will be used to fill the city's budget gap over the next three years. meanwhile, oakland, california reaching a grim milestone, the city recording its 100th homicide of the year with a total of 10 people killed in just the last seven days. oakland's police chief now pleading with the community to stop the bloodshed. well, justin trudeau won his third term as canada's prime minister. he fell short of winning the necessary 170 seats to form a majority government. he called the snap elections back in august when the party was riding high in the polls there, following tr

covid protocols committing the most blatant acts of hypocrisy i imaginable, comparable to this, lori lightfootet personal protection. when you see all of this, doug, everywhere it is happening what is going on in america? is it hypocrisy or is it something more? >> i'm beginning to believe this is something more. rules for thee, not for me. this has to be something broken down and when you see it in cities like atlanta, chicago, we want the protection but we don't want it for others like we're trying to set up this double standard that says we know better than everybody else. this is what americans, next year or so going into the next election cycle, people are starting to see the hypocrisy whether it be with vaccine mandates. having elected officials basically flaunt the protocals or even in the police idea you can't tell people we're not defunding the police but actually taking money away from it. people are not dumb. politicians have to learn. this liberals, especially in atlanta, made this an issue. it is going to be an issue. it will affect coming up because people are tired of what they
