and rahm emmanuel is doubling down on it. what we have discovered -- first of all, locking people up longer does not curve, you know, violence. and so as you begin to look carefully at his policies, you begin to see the leaning that he has that are overwhelmingly against the interest of black and brown people. i would take it one step further. when you push things like mandatory minimum, it has such tremendous impact on communities. particularly as teachers as we sit in front of classrooms day in and day out and our children are dealing with the issues of poverty, not having enough food. being homeless, having parents that are in the penal system. after the black caucus in illinois blocked it, the mayor issues a press release the next day saying that he cannot wait to congratulate the sponsor of the bill which, by the way, the sponsor of the bill does not represent the communities in which he says he wants to help. the mayor, was honored to say he could not wait to congratulate this sponsor when the bill passes. in other word

the president was aware of the politics but unlike vice president biden and then chief of staff rahm emmanuel was not driven by the domestic policy. >> interestingly you said they had more in common than you thought. >> they like to spend their time with close friends. and they didn't much earn joy the washington social scene, i think one of the references they needed, was -- i thought both of them -- including members of their own party. and didn't want anything to do with them any more than they had to, and comparing them to other presidents i worked for, they had the worst of both worlds, they were neither much liked nor feared. >> when we come back, you have some interesting insights into joe biden. you talk about war in a way that i think the country needs to pay attention to. we'll get to that. later, coming up tonight we have a distinguished studio audience going to join this conversation, they will react to this -- these explosive revelations made in the book as hannity continues. ] campbell's homestyle. mmm! this is delicious katie. it's not bad for canned soup, right? pfft!

we work with the mayor rahm emmanuel in the chicago team on building it. how do you replicate the work that other important groups. san diego, new york, and many other cities are doing across other institutions in the city. how do we bring scale to that. in many ways it take the leadership of the mayor's office as well as the strain of the organizations for us to be able to do nap i know a number of your cities are doing that too. groups that are creating new job and businesses by young years. that movement around urban manufacturing, a new concept of manufacturing industry has a great momentum. we are working now begun with that in new york and san francisco to find a network of cities and well aligned with mayor's offices in trying to generate that. that linkage to the mayor's office and the municipality brings the opportunity to be sure we are going it reach a greater scale. it brings you in many cases the opportunity to show private funding that corp. response to public money to put at work there. that's reaching 22 cities the manufacturing at this poi

like rahm emmanuel. i suppose your challenge is really to -- [inaudible] in my opinion. [applause] thank you, ben, for all the hope you bring to chicago. [laughter] but seriously, i mean, no one quite articulates what i'm thinking in such a smart way. so one of the things i think was missed during the chicago teachers union strike. it set off a wave of strikes across the state of illinois, and quite frankly, as cross the world. and so -- [applause] if there's any glimpse of hope you can actually beat back these awful policies that mayor emanuel in chicago em boys -- embodies even teachers who make $100,000 make $1 02,000. i'm not mad. i don't know what it's like to live in lake forest. but anyway we have strikes in mexico. we have strikes in brazil. there's something that happened across this globe that chicago can take some credit for actually 0 pushing. and if the country, quite frankly, if the world going make sure we have a fair tax. right. that the rich aren't paying their fair share. you actually have an education system that works with all children and not just th
