, be careful because you might get someone more left than lori lightfoot.nson, 48 years old and former teacher and union organizer and those chicago organizers, they never amount to anything. well, there was the one that got elected president but at any rate, he doubled down, johnson d last night on his plan to solve the crime problem, which is don't hire more cops. more money on mental health and poverty and underlying causes of crime. here's how he put it last night. even if you don't like his ideas and this is what he said. >> to the shyens that did -- chicagoans that did not vote for me, i care for you and value you and i want to hear from you. i want to work for you and i'll be the mayor for you too. reporter: muted criticism on johnson's in terms of reaction and one of the aldermen on fox business and said this is the real concerns i have about this. >> i have serious concerns because he's so married to the left with political ideologiology and says police need defunded and focus on root causes as opposed to holding people accountable. accountable. re

lori lightfoot was not recalled.ur reaction to lori lightfoot and also let's please watch hbo's realtime host bill maher. >> as democrats, if we do not speak the truth about violent crime in our city, we will be the worst for it. >> let me say to you not only the victims of crime but the people who are terrified about crimes in their neighborhood, most of whom look like us, if we say yeah, the police department is spending all this time and resources and then the judges and prosecutors say you know what? we're going to let you out on electronic monitoring to reek havoc again. >> like chicago, like most of the shootings are young black men killing other young black men. is that not correct? why doesn't anybody talk about that? i mean, why aren't there, you to , 100 giant black celebrities who would have the respect of those people saying what are you doing to yourselves? why are you killing each other? >> [applause] liz: what do you think, john? >> well, you know, it's actually frustrating and infuriating to watch her

and now brandon johnson. >> kayleigh: brandon johnson, who is worse than lori lightfoot.fell out of my chair when i read lori lightfoot, first mayor not re-elected, said, i know people reek havoc and need to be off the street. okay, where were you for four years, you were mayor and only 12% of crime had an arrest ashgsz tached to the end. you are not a commentator, you caused this problem, lori lightfoot. >> harris: emily. >> emily: not a full pivot, don't forget after that feral mob, as they reeked havoc -- >> harris: people got shot. >> emily: she said there were just a few with poor intentions, i refuse to use your language, mayhem. johnson still will not call it what it is, black on black crime, horrible rates. recently they said it has been called the new low for chicago. two teenage boys smashed into a truck in a stolen car. theft meanwhile against the backdrop risen 25%, overall crime up 47%. after that mob, they were mostly misdemeanors, i don't have time to go through all of them. >> harris: let me follow-up with one thing, you put this better than anybody i know

. >> dana: out going chicago mayor lori lightfoot admitting her party has a crime problem in liberalities that needs addressing. >> if we do not speak the truth about violent crime in the city, we'll be the worse for it. there's people in my city wreaking havoc every day and need to be often the street. if we say, yeah, the police department is spending all the time and resources to arrest and put a case on and judges and prosecutors say you know what, we're going to let you out on electronic monitoring to wreak havoc again. >> dana: welcome to the five, lori lightfoot. oh, do you remember there was an ad between ups or fedex and this woman's very frustrated in a meeting because she says something and then the guy says next to her and he's the boss says, yeah, i'm with him. she's like, i just said that. i sort of feel like that because when bill maher says why isn't anybody talking about this, if we say it, nobody listens. list. >> greg: it's funny. this ask probably the third or fourth major story we've been following for years that we've been talking about relentlessly and it never

>> i think they want a more progressive lori lightfoot for the johnson voters. id johnson will be lightfoot 2.0. >> todd: will today's runoff serve as warning to democratic party we need to avoid the progressive voices pushing for defund the police movement that is pushing what johnson is pushing or will this embolden the aocs of the world in 2024? >> certainly if brandon johnson wins, it emboldens them, he is defund the police progressive. i wouldn't read too much that happens in chicago today, because it is just such an acute case where lawlessness has taken hold. you could see paul vallas be like eric adams, he could stabilize it, but not improve it. >> todd: devin, what do your friends and family tell you about who they want? >> it is a difficult -- it shouldn't be a difficult choice, but it is, two democrats where we need more conservative less government. both have big government solutions to big government problems and that concerns a lot of my friends, relatives and neighbor. >> todd: close to 12,000 sworn officers, compared to 13,000 three short years ag

>> it depends on why folks didn't vote for the lori lightfoot. we have this assumption and based on what we've been hearing on the ground is that it is a fair assumption that folks that that she was too far to the left. but it is possible they didn't think she was far throughout that house. i mean for anyone to consider brandon johnson at this point, knowing what they know by his record. in doing what they know about who is backing him. it should not be disclosed. and so may be, we misread the situation a little bit. i will say, honestly it would be a shame after all of the effort to move lori lightfoot from law office and getting someone who is for the two machine years. but this is what really counts who we are talking about conservatives and in the chicago or l.a. or new york or seattle or portland. generally their votes do not really matter on the hyper local level like this because we are outnumbered. but when races are close -- they especially matter. so i'm hoping that folks remember text regarding voting do not think that this is a lost c

this case, chicago's just elected a progressive democrat, cook county commissioner, replacing lori lightfoot after beating public schools chief paul vallos with 51% of the vote and vallos with 59. up 50% the past year. advocating for in creased taxes and social programs to combat it. here is what he had to say in his victory speech tuesday night. >> tonight is just the beginning. with our voices and our votes we have ushered in a new chapter in the history of our city. >> to the chicagoans who did not vote for me. >> i care about you. i value you. and i want to hear from you. >> moderate democrat vallas cracking done on crime, gaining the enforcement of the city's police union. >> i ran for mayor to bring the city together. and it's cleared based on the results tonight the city is deeply divided. so, tonight, even though of course we believe every vote should be counted i called brandon johnson and told him i absolutely expect him to be the next mayor of chicago. >> former mayor, lori lightfoot applauding johnson's win, i congrat johnson on his victory this evening, i will continue to root f

so, when lori lightfoot lost, there was a lot of celebration. mayor who deserved to be shown the door. but i warned that day, i said let's not pop any champagne yet because it could get worse. if brandon johnson wins it could get worse. bernie sanders came in for him, al sharpton came in for him. all agreeing let's go brandon and he won. the people of chicago looked at what was happening in their city -- >> i did not catch that. >> very funny. >> i caught it immediately and loved it. >> let's go brandon. >> just slid it in there. bought and paid for by the teachers unit be i don't, he defended every single school closure, he defended the teachers union when they strike after they finally got back in school. defund the police guy. electorate new this. relatively low turnout election and the hard left won. they are on the march right now. republicans, conservatives need to understand, the left is on the march, they are winning elections, it's not even just their moderates and conservatives need to figure out what it takes to win, there is a lot of

they goes to what they believe about the colonel justice whether brenda johnson or lori lightfoot orting the same position. they believe is the system of oppression and anyone who gets caught up in it is a victim. if some teenager is going out and doing something they are victims of white supremacy culture in which they should not be blamed. we should be listening to them and said we need to do something better for them. they have in this country the democrat party has twisted it all around were the victims are no longer seen as victims, criminals are seen as victims. gerry: the people of chicago just voted that man into office brandon johnson, he made his position very, very clear, crystal clear in the wake of this. when cities are voting for the state of approach which what jason says elevating criminals as victims what can they expect. >> i have to say is a democrat i was disappointed by the outcome of the election and all the clichÉ is true, people look to government for very few things. the most important is public safety keeping people safe. if you are going to say these kids w

he is absolutely frustrated as lori lightfoot has come to be with the revolving door. it's not even a revolving door. it's an in and out come monday and tuesday. >> martha: this blew me away. the same 327 people shop lifting in manhattan. these four stores closing all the time because they're getting ripped off every day. you know, this is what they're up against. alvin bragg, you know, mayor adams has said he would like to crack down on it. here's what mayor bragg said when he spoke to a group of young new yorkers in may of 2021. he said in prosecuting a young person, even if it doesn't end in incarceration such as diversion programs, in my view doesn't make us safer. i think we need to move away from what i would call a crime of poverty. now look at one more here. this is brandon johnson, the new mayor in chicago. he's talking about what happened with these teen takeovers. we have the video from the teen takeover. it was frightening for a bunch of people. he said do i in no way condone this activity. it's not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been sta

and lori lightfoot seems to be changing her tune a bit. to be on the way out saying we need to care not just about the teenagers, but we need to care about the victims of these crimes, and the people in these neighborhoods. so that is interesting. we'll see if he changes his tune at all. emily, thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: loved the show today. setting up the curfew, beefing up the police force, we'll see what this weekend looks like in that city. >> john: novel concept lori lightfoot came up with, caring about the victims of crime. interesting. novel. we need more of that. president biden set to make remarks once the daily briefing wraps up. topic today, environmental justice. the latest agenda push critics say show the biden white house is out of touch with the rest of america. mollie hemingway is here. >> sandra: climate activists stepping up their acts of vandalism. how their attacks are making sure their message does not fall flat. >> you know i'm all for taking action to help save the environment, i just don'

lori lightfoot was mayor of chicago said that you can't call this mayhem.oks like. and if you want to have more of it, go easy on these kids. talk about how they have been deprived of opportunity and you know what he? this take the opportunity to engage in more mayhem. if you are going to stop it, you need to be strong and send a signal to people that you cannot behave like this. if you behave like this, you will be arrested and you will go away. otherwise, you get a lot more of it. look, you know, bret, i spent a lifetime in politics here and people say that republicans don't care about cities. they don't care about the people in the cities. they don't care about the poor and they don't care about minorities. today we saw republicans care about the poor, care about minorities, care about people in cities and what did the democrats do? they turned their back on those victims of crime. good for the republicans. i'm glad they held this hearing. >> bret: bill, final word. >> yeah, no. absolutely right. it matters the thrust of the hearing. what did we find out

tuesday, progressive progressive who conservatives conservative sworn is worse the lame-duck lori lightfoot. let's bring in with more of the ramifications on this, john catanzara. it is just unbelievable. and i want your thoughts. bias that that this city keeps electing further and further left progressive mayors. >> that is the magic question. thanks for having me. if i had the answer, we probabl would not be having this conversation tonight but the reality is he seems to be the elected mayor regardless of wha ballots are still out there and nobody wants him to fail. it's a city we all grew up in the loop wanted to be successfu and different that it has been so we shall see. >> it's amazing. i want to put these on the screen. i lost my paper. these are five of the brandon johnson is now promising to transform chicago. funding social workers instead of cops. raising taxes, letting illegal immigrants vote in schoolboard elections, protecting abortion rights and misjudge ring and official records. it's one of those things where you look at this send you think the city is going further and fur

and they decided they didn't want lori lightfoot as mayor anymore in chicago, and went with somebodye progressive. >> it's kind of a stunning outcome. i think a lot of people thought when lori lightfoot lost her race that it would mean there would be a movement toward somebody who was tougher on crime, someone who was more aggressive on education. i mean, chicago is in really tough spot. you have in the chicago public school system 1 out of 20 black students can do math at the grade level. 1 out of 20. so those students are so underserved by the public school system in chicago. now, he is from the education system, brandon johnson. as a teacher, he pushed to lower standards, he pushed to give less homework to reduce test preparation as a way of, quote, rebelling against the structure. so, you know, i mean students need to be at a level where they can compete in society. we have to encourage education excellence, which does not really line up with most of the equity movements, which tends to bring the standards down and equalize. i'm not sure that's getting anybody ahead. also city ta

of course, for a couple of years, lori lightfoot, brian, you mentioned her. she was in d.c.the end of last week. and she was talking -- keep in mind, remember she was the chief officer of chicago and, now that she is out of power, suddenly, she is saying hey, it was a problem. and still is here she is. >> as democrats, if we do not speak the truth about violent crime in our city, we will be the worse for it. there are people in my city that are wreaking havoc every day and need to be off the streets. if somebody sees -- musters the courage to come forward and identify the person who had just shot up their neighborhood and sees pecu peculiary walking bols day back on the streets two days later? what does that say to them? you are telling them that the criminal justice system doesn't care about victims and witn witnesses. >> steve: i have a bold prediction, had she made that statement before the election, she would have been reelected. >> brian: i don't think so, for four years we watched her do nothing. >> steve: i think so. people want the streets safe. >> brian: she doesn't

it was sort of a glimmer of hope when chicago residents tossed out lori lightfoot, and we thought maybey might have touched the hot stove enough and were going to go in the right direction. no one ever imagined that they would go in an even more wrong direction. this is insane. and, by the way, you know, if you're not willing to enforce all the laws that's the same as defunding the police. and, you know, obviously, you know, the bigger problem in chicago is the violent crime, murders, all of that. but if you're not willing to enforce immigration laws, you're basically thumbing your nose on the idea of law and order. you can't -- i hate to be mean about it, but honestly at some point you have to dust off your hands and say this is what voters keep asking for, and this is what they keep getting. until they learn the lesson, decide to improve their own city, there isn't a lot anybody else can do for them. >> you know, marie, part of the concern is the bump up to north of a million now, people who come over, the got-aways, people that we don't know who they are, where they're going, but sur

right now the chicago police department to my knowledge are still under the orders of lori lightfoot,as a no chase policy. you can't chase these folks on foot. if you chase them in the car you have to call your supervisor and get permission. so police are demoralized, there was another candidate in the race named paul vallas, believed in law and order, long time democrat but still because he talked about law and order people called him a conservative. that's crazy because i remember, i'm old enough to remember where it didn't matter if you were a democrat or republican, your safety was one that every party cared about. you are a citizen of the city, you do that. you are deserving of that and now as you mention, you can't even go downtown chicago without being harassed or possibly even shot. that wasn't the case many, many years ago. lincoln park, gold coast, many areas where the wealthy people live, they are moving out because they can afford to. stores are moving out, citadel, businesses that pay good money are moving out. what about the poor people innocent victims of the violent cr

s thonly white candidate to run to unseat mayor lori lightfoot, the first gay and black woman to be electedn johnson is black and he is hoping he will win the wards on the south and west side that voted to put lightfoot in first place in the first round of voting. he hopes combiningse votes with progressive votes from progressive latino and white voters will be enough to get him over 50%. while paul vallas is hoping to capitalize on people in the black community who do want to see more police officers on their street because we know those neighborhoods are among the most violent in chicago. two very different approaches exacerbated by the fact that this whole race has pitted a white man against a black man really for the first time since 1983. geoff: but, if anything, will the outcome of this race tell us about what democrats are seeking in terms of leadership? guest: whatever the result is, it will be used as one of the first examples of what could happen in the 2024 elections. if brandon johnson wins, you will see progressive politicians like bernie sanders say this is the way progressive

you have the current mayor lori lightfoot as we talked about yesterday, many teens were there to have a good time and enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. mayor johnson also say, you know, don't blame the teens essentially paraphrasing him there. let's be very clear what teenagers have the propensity to do. we remember the case of muhammad amwar, that uber eats driver, 13 and 15-year-old girl violently attacked him. he lost his life. and then they get a plea deal, and they will be out at the age of 21 years old. they killed someone, he is not coming back. he won't ever be there with his family. teens do have the propensity to commit violence. we've seen that. and they deserve not just rehabilitation, retribution for their actions. i would end with this. mainstream media on this, cnn, zero minutes of coverage. abc, zero minutes, nbc, cbs, zero minutes of coverage. and yet, they all found an opportunity to cover the fact that love is blind had some technical difficulties from getting on to netflix, as newsbuster noted, preposterous. >> harris: priorities. >> emily: that's right. violenc

paul: kim, this could have national implications because when lori lightfoot was defeated in the primary -- that had some implications for president biden when he decided not to veto an override of a washington, d.c. crime law. so if paul vallas wins here, that could send a message to the democrats on schools, crime and taxes. >> yeah. they are already very nervous on all of those issues, and seeing one of the cities and one of the country's biggest cities put someone in office that has been so openly pro-police and so critical of democrats, his fellow democrats on this issue, i think, really could resound. and, you know, we are going to see republicans, they're already in congress' thing up some more bills that are -- teeing up some more bills that are designed to put democrats on their back foot, and you can bet it's going to play big in the 024 the campaign. paul: kyle, another election on tuesday, and this is for the majority really on the wisconsin supreme court. it's now split 4-3 we republican appointees in the majority, but a republican justice stepping down, and this will be, it

it is mayor lori lightfoot you see on your screen there so what we have in just couple of days, clearlyic candidates are on opposite end of the democratic politica spectrum one means -- the other a little bit mor progressive. so it is a little -- we know crime is a key votin issue in chicago, if not the very top voting issue in the city we know that that has been a issue. we know it is something that i on the issue, the minds of voters across the country. particularly in the city of tw candidates who have very different approaches when it was a more holisti approach to crime, the other was a little bit more of a heavy-handed approach, looking at increasing more policing, a the backing of police union. -- litmus test on not just where very liberal, progressive, democratic city stands, ho they vote for change, bu potentially looking ahead to 2024, you have two very, ver interesting races. they could have implications coming up in the next majo election >> marisa park forest than you. just today after being discharged from the hospital pope francis was back in state peter square the pope p

both of them beat a crowded field of nine candidates, including incumbent mayor lori lightfoot.andidates offer a stark choice for voters as they weigh issues such as crime, public safety and education. following this all closely is wttw chicago pbs reporter heather cheron heather, thanks for being with us. so, we have got brandon johnson, this progressive cook county commissioner, running against the moderate former chicago public schools chief paul vallas. help uunderstand how this race in many ways illustrates the broader divides within the democratic party. heather: well, you have somebody like brandon johon, who really comes out of the movement launched by senator bernie sanders to be a more progressive alternative in the national democratic party. brandon johnson has really picked up that mantle, while paul vallas got his start under former mayor richard m. daley, and is really looking to draw support from people who draw remember his work, as you said, as head of the chicago public schools, but also somebody who's vowing to be tough on crime. as you know, chigo, along with

this was a runoff election so in the previous election when they beat out the incumbent mayor lori lightfoot. there is a big opportunity here for johnson and his opponent, paul vallas, because lightfoot took almost all or i should say a lot of the black neighborhoods on the south and west sides of the city congressman jesus chuy garcia took a lot of the latino neighborhoods, so those were all significant votes that were up for grabs, and johnson took just about every single ward that lightfoot did. so you see that probably played an impact into this. now, though, comes the tough part. how do you actually lead chicago and he he spoke a little bit about this last night. i value you. and i want to hear from you. i want to work with you. and i'll be the mayor for youtube. and that's him talking to those that didn't vote for him, including the police union, who, of course, endorsed his opponent, paul vallas, is one of the hardest jobs in the country being a big city mayors and chicago i think, maybe sometimes even more so, omar all kinds of messages from democrats overnight. if there's one thing
