1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: The Guinness World Booker Records sucks because Neil McCoy has 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: done the pledge of allegiance consecutively for over four thousand days, 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: and they don't want to recognize that. But we recognize 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: Neil and the pledge here on WLSA May ninety God 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: Bless America. 6 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: of America and to the Republic, for which it stands, 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: One nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: Amen. Amen? Can I get an amen? 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 3: Three? 11 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: One, two, five, ninety one eighty nine hundred. That snow 12 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: that was supposed to happen, Nick, you say it's going 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: to start, but I hear that the National Weather Services 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: called off this big weather warning. Yeah, I don't know. 15 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for keeping up the tabs, newsman. We're supposed to 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: wake up with snow, yet I see no snow. But 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: it's going to get cold this weekend. Details about that 18 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: on the way. But right now, without further ado, let's 19 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: go to our Washington correspondent, Chris Plants. He can tell 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: you the weather. Chris Plant is here. 21 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 4: Hey, buddy, Hey, they called off the weather. 22 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. The weather's still here. But it's just 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: not favorable for a lot of people. But I'll tell 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: you what, despite frigid temperatures, Chris, crowds turned out in 25 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: Chicago to protest Donald Trump. This happened yesterday. Now, there's 26 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: a white liberal woman named Caitlin cordys Her and a 27 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: group of moms gathered in Lincoln Park in their living 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: room last spring and they figured out a way to 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: fight and stand up for democracy on what they were 30 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: calling Unamerican attacks from President Donald Trump. And this is 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: what they said, Chris Plant. We want our children to 32 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: grow up in a thriving democracy. We want our children 33 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: to grow up in a thriving democracy, a place where 34 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: masked men do not roam the streets with guns. And 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, you might want to leave Chicago because 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of the modus operade around here, right, they 37 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: bundled up in big coats and gloves. We have a 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: government that is truly of the people and buy the 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: people and for the people. That what we need, not 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: not Chris. I wonder, because you know a lot of 41 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: people didn't talk about this, and I wonder when the 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: protests are going to start for this young lady Karia 43 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: Jenkins is her name. She is a member of the 44 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: Woodland Church in the Woodland community. Actually she went to 45 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church. Mother of five Sunday morning in Chicago, 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: nobody understands why or who would shoot this mom five times, 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: five times and they kill her. Yet I don't see 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: where the people are protesting for this woman. Where's the outrage. 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean, she was killed by probably what was a 50 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: masked man. Except here the only ice to blame was 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: the weather. Chicagoans kill each other each and every day, 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: and they get off the hook for it. But why 53 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: doesn't her life matter? Why isn't she being hailed a hero? 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, she's a good upstanding member of the community, 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: yet nobody cares about her because it doesn't fit anybody's 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: fricking narrative. And it pisses me off. 57 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 4: Well, they don't like your good upstanding members of the community. 58 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 4: They like mass men with guns as long as they're 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,839 Speaker 4: not federal law enforcement, of course. And I would think 60 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: that this weekend in Chicago, everybody's going to be wearing 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 4: a mask. But that's a separate issue. And look, if 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: they really care, this is the truthful answer to the story. 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: Is they don't care about human life. They're the left. 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 4: They care about politics and if they can use you know, 65 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 4: it's the old Joseph Stalin line. A single death as 66 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic And the 67 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: Democrat Party is very Solnist these days, and they don't 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 4: care about human life. They just like to seize on 69 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 4: George Floyd, for example, a guy with Sentinel and metsan 70 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: fetamine coursing Bruce system when he's resisting arrest yet again 71 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: after passing counterfeit bills to a poor immigrant man trying 72 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: to make his way in America. And the hero of 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: the story is George Floyd. You know the police officer there, 74 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 4: Derek Chauvin, who arrested George Floyd, who died of cardiac failure, 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 4: by the way, while resisting arrest. They put him in prison. 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 4: They were hoping forever and ever. And when he got 77 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 4: to prison, he was stabbed twenty two times by a Democrat. 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 4: The police officer was. The Democrats are not liberals, they're 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 4: the left, and the left, the real left, the global 80 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 4: left is here in the United States America and they're 81 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: the Democrat parties. And human life is not their bag baby. 82 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: You know, these people are the most murderous the left, 83 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: the worldwide left. They murdered one hundred million people at 84 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: the last one hundred years or so since the Bolshevik 85 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 4: Revolution in the name of bringing about a socialist utopia. 86 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: And now the Democrat Party is talking about bringing socialist 87 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: utopia to the United States. So when a mother of five, Look, 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: we had a mother of five here in Maryland, just 89 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: outside of DC who went out for a walk and 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: was raped and murdered by an illegal alien. And she 91 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: didn't become the George Floyd of the Democrat Party. She 92 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 4: didn't become a household name, and nobody knows her name. 93 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 4: And a mother of five, the five kids had their 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 4: mother raped and murdered on a hiking trail and Maryland 95 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 4: and the media is part of the Democrat Party, of course, 96 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: and we didn't hear about that woman because the left 97 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 4: doesn't care about human life. They care about politics. They 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 4: politicize some killings, single death as a tragedy. A million 99 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 4: deaths are statistics. And that's the Democrat Party today. They're 100 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: not an old fashioned American party. 101 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: Same protest in Chicago, they somehow got Alexi Junulius our 102 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Secretary of State to comment. Now, Alexi said, both my 103 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: parents came to this country as immigrants, and when they 104 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: came here, they had nothing, but they believed in the 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: promise of America. Well, here's the difference. When people came 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: here to assimilate to the American life and culture and 107 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: work hard, and not to send money back to Somalia, 108 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: that was a different story. I don't understand why Tim 109 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: Walls yesterday has to pen a big letter to Donald 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Trump saying, I invite you to come to Minnesota. See 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: what Minnesotans are about. These fools are gladly ripped off 112 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: by the Somalian community. They're sending all this money back 113 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: to Somalia, some say, to the tune of ten billion dollars, 114 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: and they wallow in it. They welcome it, they invite it. 115 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: It's absolutely ridiculous and shameful how much they just will 116 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: not turn and face these problems. They'd rather watch the 117 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: flash bombs going off and everything else. That are these 118 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: protests that keep wailing the wagon the tail of the 119 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: dog and getting Don Lemon, who has no relevancy other 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: than his iPhone in a church in Minneapolis. It's ridiculous. 121 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 4: Well, you know, these are straight up facts at this point. 122 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,559 Speaker 4: More Democrats, more murder, more democrats, more rape and murder, 123 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 4: more democrats, more gangs, more democrats, more drug dets. The 124 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 4: Democrats are they're you know, they're not creating a greater 125 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 4: civilization here. They are destroying everything for power, and that's 126 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 4: not It shouldn't be surprised if you know about the 127 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: left in Europe and then the twentieth century. The left 128 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 4: is the Democrat party and they've got all of all 129 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: of the trademarks, all all the hallmarks of the left 130 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: in the twentieth century, and that never leads to good things. 131 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: We are starting the island of Nick and Ray, and 132 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: we want to invite you to join us. 133 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 4: Chris. 134 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: We're thinking about buying an island. 135 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 4: The Republic of Yeah. 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: And there's you know, there's gonna be a lot of Bettleman, 137 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of things that we're gonna 138 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: have to atone for right.

She's turning that kid in a herve village. 337 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: Has I know? All right? The Bears to Indiana? Can 338 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: it happened? Could it happen? We'll start there with the 339 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: governor Mike Browner friend joins us next here on WLSA 340 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: A ninety. But here he is a man's man, cooking 341 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: food that smells like crap. Oh gosh, I'm racist. Here's 342 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: Nick kayo. 343 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 5: If you don't like my squirrels and possum stew, I. 344 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: Was I like that squirrel? A two pay you made 345 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: for sure? He tan to horror. However the hell you 346 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: say his name? Well? Last weekend's State of the State 347 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: speech to Indiana Governor Mike Broun said this, we are. 348 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: Working hard to bring the Chicago Bears to the Hoosier 349 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 3: State so they could really see what a great place 350 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 3: is to have a business. 351 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: We'll work hard to do it. 352 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 3: Let's get it across. 353 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: The finish line. That's what everybody in the chamber yelled. 354 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: Who who hoosiers? Got us A good morning to our 355 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: friend there just across the state line, Governor, Mike bron Governor, 356 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: welcome back to WLS. 357 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 3: Good morning, sir, good morning, and good to be back on. 358 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: Sure I have to ask you, this would be something. 359 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: This would be the coupdata if you could pull this off. 360 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: My first question this morning regarding the Bears is how 361 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: do you get this done? 362 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 3: Well, let's look at how long it's taken to get 363 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 3: to this point. I think the Bears organization has been 364 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 3: talking to your brilliant governance in the state and governor 365 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 3: and the mayor of Chicago for years. It's not just 366 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 3: been recently because they knew the day was coming where 367 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 3: they had to do something about a new venue. And 368 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 3: when you let it go to this point, I would 369 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: think Illinoians and Chicagoans would be upset that it's advanced 370 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 3: this far. A lot of stuff that still needs to happen. 371 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 3: I think even as aloof as Pritzker and the Mayor 372 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 3: of Chicago have been about it. Basically saying, hey, you're 373 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 3: on your own in this navigation. They can sense that 374 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 3: this is getting down to a point and they know 375 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: the timeline. And we've been just very easy to do 376 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: business with or a state of reasonable and low regulations. 377 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 3: We're the only state in the northern half of the 378 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 3: country that have had people moving into it. And that 379 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 3: same kind of hospitality is now being felt by the 380 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 3: Bears organization, and there's no guarantee of anything. I'm one 381 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: of the few governors in the country that actually have 382 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: signed the front side of a paycheck and main street 383 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 3: entrepreneur that did build a national company, and I've been 384 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: through similar kind of forks in the road to where 385 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 3: you need to know what to do not to get 386 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: ahead of your skis. But when you've got an economy 387 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: like ours, it's growing twice the rate of Illinois, and 388 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 3: Ohio's three times out of Kentucky's, six times out of Michigan, 389 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 3: which has been under liberal governance for a good while. 390 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 3: They see the advantages property taxes alone, not to mention 391 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 3: what they'd be able to get out of a new facility. 392 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: Because we got a triple A credit rating. You'd have 393 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: to research to see what the state of Illinois is 394 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's in single digits or worse. Those things 395 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: add up, and they've now been out there under serious 396 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: scrutiny in terms of what it would be like. And 397 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: this isn't exactly something new. I mean, New York's franchises 398 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: are both in a neighboring state, But to me, that's 399 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 3: kind of like jumping from the frying pan into the 400 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 3: fire here. Here, there's no comparison in terms of where 401 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: you'd get better value out of a facility and a 402 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 3: better business partner long term. And it's arguably easier to 403 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 3: get to than it would be fighting traffic going up 404 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 3: to Arlington Heights. 405 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: So, Governor, Governor Mike Brown is here a great state 406 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: of Indiana. Have you done any specific economic impact statements 407 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: on this? 408 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:35,719 Speaker 3: Now? 409 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: I've seen renderings of stadiums that have been put forth 410 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: both by the mayors of Hammond and Gary, and they 411 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: look fabulous. I mean, you can do a lot with 412 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: a CAD program and a laptop, but have you looked 413 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: into what the economic impact might be as it relates 414 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: to the Bears. I know you mentioned what it might mean, 415 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: but is there any hard numbers there? 416 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 3: Well, all you'll have to do is look at what 417 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: happened when baltim More Colts moved to Indianapolis. So we've 418 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 3: got a test case. And if you've been to Lucas 419 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: Oil Stadium and you know, with it and other things 420 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: we've done, we're now probably the top convention destination marginally 421 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 3: from where they used to be. And obviously a lot 422 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 3: of that used to be in Chicago. They're not going 423 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 3: to big venues or that cumbersome to deal with. And 424 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 3: all I can tell you is that the economic development 425 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: impact is all there in a blueprint of what we 426 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: did with the Colts, and the region for Indiana is 427 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 3: the second largest center of population next to Indianapolis in 428 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 3: Metro County. So we've got that not as an abstract discussion, 429 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 3: a real one and you'll get a lot more bang 430 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 3: for your buck long term, and in the facility that's 431 00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: put up in the first place. 432 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: Talk about the meetings that took place. It was when 433 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: Green Bay was playing the Bears. I know that Roger 434 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: Goodell and some of the NFL big wigs, along with 435 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: Bear's top brass, they were in Arlington Heights and then 436 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: they did come to Indiana. Did you have any partaking 437 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: in any of those meeting. 438 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: We've been mostly working behind the scenes because even here 439 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: in Indiana you've got liberal media that would cast this 440 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 3: as something that might be a fool's errand simply because 441 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: I'm an entrepreneurial conservative governor and we got a legislature 442 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: that is staying ahead of it in terms of anything 443 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 3: we need to do. This does remind me of what 444 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 3: it would be like trying to craft a deal in 445 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: any of the states that have people in businesses moving 446 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: out of there, And sadly Illinois is number three, along 447 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 3: with California and New York. So sure they're doing it. 448 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: And again, Ray, this has not just happened overnight. The 449 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 3: Bears have been trying to work with state government in 450 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 3: the mayor I think close to three years, and I 451 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 3: think the bluff was called. It's got some timeliness to 452 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 3: it in terms of their having to do something based 453 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 3: upon their current setup at Soldiers Field, and we're just 454 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: being good accommodating business partners like you would in anything. 455 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 3: I don't think it will be because we've made it difficult. 456 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 3: I don't doubt that there will be a wake up 457 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 3: call if they haven't gotten it. You're just snoozing sleeping 458 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 3: at the wheel with Pritzker and the city. But this 459 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: has had discussions going on for a good while based 460 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: upon being rebuffed by the state and the city along 461 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: the way, and it's been a long journey. It hasn't 462 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 3: just happened overnight. 463 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: You know, stadiums are always a hot button issue, right 464 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: they're taxpayers. I don't believe taxpayer should bear the burden 465 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: for a a stadium to be built. If you're going 466 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: to go there and use it, put a user tax 467 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: on it. We hear that the Chicago White Sox are 468 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: looking for a new place to play. Has there been 469 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: any talk of maybe a dual purpose stadium between the 470 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: White Sox and the Bearris at least on your end 471 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: of these conversations. 472 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 3: No, there has not been, But of course we've thought 473 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 3: about that, and I think if this eventuates, and it's 474 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: got a fairly sharp windw I think, before we know 475 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: one way or the other, sure that would be a likelihood. 476 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 3: I think when you take a close look ray what 477 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: it's like to do business in this state versus what 478 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 3: it's like to do business in Illinois, we've got businesses moving, 479 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 3: especially the ones that workforce wouldn't be an issue where 480 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 3: they're near the border. They're becoming citizens of Indiana because 481 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 3: they're getting so many more benefits. We got the lowest 482 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: or second is tax rate of any state that charges 483 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 3: one around three percent on income. We are a low 484 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: regulation state. Well, you know I told you that. I 485 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: don't know if I mentioned I think I did. The 486 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 3: economic growth rates ours is twice that of Illinois and Ohio, 487 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 3: three times at of Kentucky, six times Michigan. And look 488 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 3: at Michigan is arguably the place that's turned the most 489 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 3: into liberal governments. So there's so many things that stand out. 490 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 3: We're the biggest manufacturing state per capita, right up there 491 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: with Wisconsin. 492 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: Now you're just bragging. Now you're just. 493 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 3: Telling you stuff though that it makes a difference. 494 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: If I were a betting man, could you give me 495 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: a do you think in a percentage chance? What do 496 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: you think the chances of Indiana being a wile to 497 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: pull this off? Are? 498 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: Is it? 499 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean? I mean, you know, you look at things 500 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: that have gone on in Indiana this year. Who does 501 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: not a team would have gone sixty and Alan won 502 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: a national again championship? Right? Can you what are the 503 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: percentages did that. If I want to go put this 504 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: on red in Vegas, this is going to happen. 505 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 3: Well, we're an entrepreneurial state run by an entrepreneurial governor 506 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 3: and a legislature that is generally going to be accommodating 507 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 3: on issues like this, and we've shown that I would 508 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: put it in that category of fifty to fifty, and 509 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 3: the naysayers say it's more like ninety ten, that it 510 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: won't happen, and the people that have been complacent about it, 511 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 3: your own leadership in Illinois probably never thought it would 512 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: get to this point. So we don't do anything. We're 513 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 3: over performers, always understated, and I think that describes the 514 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 3: Hoosiers terms of what we did, and for my wife 515 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: went there in three of our four kids, and until 516 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 3: I actually was there for the Miami game. In the 517 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: Ohio State game, very similar, and I think Ohio State 518 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: and Miami were the two best teams other than Indiana. 519 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 3: Those weren't decided until basically the last minute of each game, 520 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 3: and against two iconic programs. But metaphoric of kind of 521 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 3: what we're like as a state. We just produce. We 522 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 3: do it year after year, and it's based upon that 523 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 3: kind of main street tough toughness and always being overlooked, 524 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 3: and we overperform. 525 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: Don't ever underestimate the ones that are quiet. Governor Mike 526 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: Brown is going hunting bear. We'll have to keep an 527 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: eye open to see if this happens. I wish you well. 528 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know where to place this in 529 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: my childhood with my dad sitting at Soldier or as 530 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: he'd call it, soldiers Field, But you know, it has 531 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: to make economic sense for the Chicago Bears. And if 532 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: a Pritzker and Brandon Johnson fumble the ball on this, 533 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: it'll be of epic consequences and proportions. My friend. It's 534 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: always good to have you on, Governor Mike Brown, Great 535 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: State of Indiana. I didn't want to bring this up, 536 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: and I know you're short on time, but I hear 537 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Joliet's trying to steal the indeed five hundred. I kid you, 538 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: I can't get bye bye, buddy.

They 620 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: figured out that it was probably a good thing that 621 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: this dictator has gone.

Okay, you do business in Illinois. 638 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: You have to give to some Democrats. That's just the 639 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 1: way business works. But I don't like a candidate who 640 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: was given money to Brandon Johnson, Kim Fox, and Tony Preckwinkle. 641 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: Let's start there with Ted Dobrowski, and I see you 642 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: wave in your head, Nick, like, eh, I understand that's 643 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: the way business is a game played, the game, but 644 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I'm tired of the game 645 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: because the game isn't working for the state.

That's what he 671 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: called a JB. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson. It could be 672 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: a morning show right, awful and failure. Here you've got 673 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: a neighboring governor sniping at the Chicago Bears, trying to 674 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: get a Chicago Bear sports franchise to come just right 675 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,439 Speaker 1: across the state line, to which I would think would 676 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: probably be a pretty attractive play for Hammond or Gary. 677 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: How does Ted Debrowski, if he gets elected governor of 678 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: state of Illinois, support this from happening. 679 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 7: Well, you know, you know, Governor Pritzker has made Illinois prey. 680 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 7: I mean, you know with his policies. You know, the 681 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 7: quality of life has just been destroyed here right when 682 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,359 Speaker 7: we talk about physical security, we talk about that all 683 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 7: the time. When we talk about economic security, those two 684 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 7: things have been so destroyed under the governor that opportunity 685 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 7: is down. And when opportunity is down here, guess what 686 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 7: it's up for Indiana. It's up for our neighboring states 687 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 7: who we try to pick us off. It's a sad situation. 688 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 7: We got a fight like crazy to keep the Bears. 689 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 7: But it starts by turning the state around and making 690 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 7: it a state of opportunity again. 691 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: It really, I mean, this is kind of a microcosm 692 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: of what's going on with business is big and small, Caterpillar, 693 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: Wandier and everything else that's left our state. People are 694 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: voting with their feet. They're leaving. There's a mass migration 695 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: from this state. 696 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 3: Now. 697 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: They'll tell you that the numbers are bumping up, but 698 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: those were all immigration numbers under President Joe Biden. But 699 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: this state has made it hard for any business, anybody 700 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: to do business. And then you've got guys like Brandon 701 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: Johnson wanting to put a head tax, a corporate head 702 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,720 Speaker 1: tax on people to come here. This needs to change. 703 00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: Where do you see that opportunity ted because it doesn't 704 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: seem to me like the I think Chicago's waking up, 705 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: albeit slowly. 706 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 707 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 7: No, I think there's definitely a you know, a potential 708 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 7: wave that we can grab. I mean, Brandon Johnson is 709 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,399 Speaker 7: of course so unpopular, and he's you know, he's making 710 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 7: a mess of Illinois, and I think there's a massive 711 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 7: regret for having him there. We thought, you know, getting 712 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 7: life was good, but we got Johnson instead. But Pritzker' 713 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 7: is a leader of the state. He's been there for 714 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 7: seven years, and nothing has gotten better. When you look 715 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 7: at all the quality of life issues that matter, they're 716 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 7: all down. We're bottom five state under Pritzker Ford for 717 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 7: economic growth. We're the fourth worst in the country for 718 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 7: economic growth. We're the fifth worst for job creation. We 719 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 7: are the sick growth. You know, that's what matters to people. 720 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 7: They want opportunity, they want to take care of their 721 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 7: families and pay their bills. And you know, think about it, 722 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 7: are you you know, do people feel safer today? Do 723 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 7: people feel like they can afford the basics and their 724 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 7: tax bills. They don't, and that's why people are fleeing. 725 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 7: And you know, when you think about it, when you 726 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 7: lose companies like the Boeing headquarters and the Caterpillar headquarters 727 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 7: and Citadel and Tyson Foods and Morton Salt, I mean, 728 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 7: those are massive, massive losses for us, and it's a 729 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 7: huge signal. So we need change and it's all about, 730 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 7: you know, making things affordable again and just bringing back 731 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 7: the good old fashioned opportunities so that people feel like 732 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 7: they can thrive here and they don't have to move 733 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 7: to Indiana. 734 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: And the legendary businesses that have left here are just amazing. 735 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: Now I have to ask you this because there's a 736 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: lot of people that don't like your choice of words 737 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: and feels when it comes to one of your political 738 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: TV ads comparing Pritzker to Stalinist leadership. And there's people 739 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: that have been talking about that because you yourself said, 740 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: and we're very critical of Pritzker when he would say 741 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump's ap pressidency, you know, it's indicative of 742 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: a nineteen thirties Germany. Can you see where people are 743 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: upset because it kind of draws the same comparison. 744 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 7: Well, I think the Tribune is upset with what they 745 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 7: wrote an article today. I was at the editorial board yesterday. Listen, 746 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 7: we have lost one point six million net between you 747 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 7: count all the people moving in and moving out of 748 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 7: Illinois since two thousand, right, so the last twenty five years, 749 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 7: we've lost one point six million net people to other states. 750 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 7: And this is my point. When people don't have opportunity, 751 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 7: when they don't feel like they have freedom, they leave. 752 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 7: And my parents, you know, my dad left communists Poland. 753 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 7: I mean you're right here. Opportunity there was, of course 754 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 7: gone with socialism and communism dominating there. My mom left 755 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 7: her her beautiful, wonderful country of Ecuador when she's a 756 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 7: nineteen year old. Why because those governments don't provide opportunity, 757 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 7: They don't provide that freedom that you can have. And 758 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 7: they both came where to Chicago, to Illinois where they 759 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 7: could pursue that freedom. They could pursue that opportunity and 760 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 7: the American and that's why they left there and came here. 761 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 7: Now we have the exact opposite happening. People are fleeing Illinois, 762 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 7: so that but you know, but you know here about time, 763 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 7: it is a mistallio Stalinis. And that's crazy stuff that 764 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 7: the Tribute is writing about. I'm talking about good old 765 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 7: fashioned opportunity. 766 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: Well, you know, the Tribune will never miss a chance 767 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: to snipe at somebody that doesn't follow their ideology. But 768 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 1: you know the difference between my parents and your parents 769 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: that came here from other places is when they got 770 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: to America, they wanted to assimilate, right. They wanted this 771 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: to be that land of opportunity because they were oppressed 772 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: in other places. And now you look at what's going 773 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: on in Minneapolis, and I have to ask you this, Ted, 774 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: and I ask you this not only is a guy 775 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: running for governor of the state of Illinois. But you 776 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: ran wire points for a long time, and you'd come 777 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: on this show and I would ask guys like you, 778 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: because I don't have the answer to the question of 779 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: where does society want what's going on in Minneapolis to 780 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: end up? 781 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 3: Right? 782 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: Where do all these people that are the lunatics on 783 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: the left that think that it's cool to storm into 784 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: a church and and to to cry those who are 785 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: are worshiping their God on a Sunday. Where does the 786 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: onrest of no borders, no rules, no laws, not in 787 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 1: my neighborhood, in this not my people mentality, which is, 788 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're supposed to be Americans, but we seem 789 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,439 Speaker 1: to have lost sight of this. Where do you think 790 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: this really crazy progressive left, lunatic nut job faction of 791 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: society wants this to end up? 792 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,279 Speaker 7: Well, you know, we touched on the immigrant part of 793 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 7: of of my my life. My parents were assimilators and 794 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 7: this is what was beautiful when they came here. They 795 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 7: wanted us to be American. English was the dominant language 796 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 7: in our household. We're going to get educated, become American, 797 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 7: and that's what we did. And I think in my 798 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 7: siblings and I. We've been successful, and you know, we 799 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 7: love this country, but you've got this other open border. 800 00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 7: You don't have to assimilate. You know. I don't agree 801 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 7: with you know, saying we're going to have you know, 802 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 7: Spanish as a secondary are how we teach teach kids 803 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,080 Speaker 7: in schools? No, we have to teach English. I mean, 804 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 7: this is America. So they're trying to take us way 805 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 7: over there into something that's not American, that doesn't respect 806 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 7: the constitution, that doesn't respect this amazing country. I don't know, 807 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 7: we got to fight. I just we got to stand 808 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 7: up against it then, you know. That's what I'm doing, 809 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 7: and which is what disappoints me about Pritzker, you know, 810 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,360 Speaker 7: calling you know, calling the president all kinds of names. 811 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 7: He calls the federal law enforcement, he calls them jack 812 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 7: booted thugs, and he calls them Nazis and terrorists and racists. 813 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 7: That's just not the kind of language our governor should 814 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 7: have and that's not how we should behave. And you know, 815 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 7: when he does that, I think it's really really disappointing 816 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 7: and feeding into the frenzy that we're seeing in places 817 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 7: like Minneapolis, and I guess I brought you. 818 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: I just don't understand why Tim Walls feels that he 819 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: needs to pen a love letter to Donald Trump inviting 820 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: him to Minneapolis so he can come see firsthand what 821 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 1: the hell's going on there. All the corruption is what 822 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: led into this, and the fires and everything that started 823 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: after Renee Goods shooting was fueled by the rhetoric of 824 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,239 Speaker 1: Jacob Fry and Tim Walls the hell out of Minnesota. 825 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: You know, we look at people that wear a badge 826 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: that are supposed to support the Constitution and the laws 827 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: that we have in place here in the state or 828 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,280 Speaker 1: in this country, and they tell them that those laws 829 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: and rules don't matter anymore. And when you do that, 830 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what America has left to stand on. Hey, 831 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: before I let you go, I want to ask you 832 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: what you think about Governor Abbigil Abigail of Spanberger in Virginia, 833 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: because this is what happens when the left gets in control. 834 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: This is a woman that came from a police background, 835 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: family history of being in law enforcement. Yet she said 836 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: she was going to support law enforcement. Yesterday in one 837 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: of the first acts she raises taxes. She wants to 838 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,760 Speaker 1: basically defund the police and here we go all over again. 839 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: This is you're going to see in Virginia. You know 840 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,840 Speaker 1: what in California, in New York. Here in Illinois, it's 841 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: just more of the same and it's the same playbook. 842 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 7: Yeah, just to finish the other conversation. Look, they've they've 843 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 7: got us talking about all kinds of things, but not 844 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 7: what we should be talking about, which is making Illinois 845 00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 7: normal again, making Illinois affordable again, you know, creating jobs, 846 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,280 Speaker 7: all those things. That's what that's the kitchen table issues 847 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 7: that people really care about. And here we are talking 848 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,760 Speaker 7: about all this you know stuff I wish in Virginia. 849 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 7: I wish I wish we could just say, hey, Virginia's 850 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 7: be careful what you're asking for. Just look at Illinois. 851 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,120 Speaker 7: Don't do what we did. Do the opposites. We opposite 852 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 7: what Prince FORER did. 853 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 1: When do you think the JB. Pritzker hotel chain opens 854 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: its doors for warming shelters today? 855 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 7: Yeah, I haven't seen that yet, but that that would 856 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 7: be in line with what he should be doing. 857 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 1: And you know, here this guy's he talks all about, 858 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, giving more, and we're just a you know, 859 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 1: we're just a society that doesn't help each other out. 860 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: Yet this family has so much money. Maybe they can 861 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: open up the high down there by Emacartmick place. It's 862 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: going to be cold. Just let people come in and 863 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: and uh and and put your money where your mouth is. 864 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 7: Well, yeah, if I can say, if I can say 865 00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,480 Speaker 7: one more thing, I think you know, this is the 866 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,400 Speaker 7: whole It's the word hypocrisy. But Pritzker talks about equity. 867 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 7: He talks about, you know, trying to do more for minorities. 868 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,720 Speaker 7: All his policies and Brandon Johns's policies have left chicagoan's 869 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 7: the worst in the country on unemployment and jobs all 870 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,760 Speaker 7: that stuff. When you compare to the fifteen largest cities 871 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 7: in the country. You know, blacks and blacks in particularly 872 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 7: done very poorly when it comes to the poverty and 873 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,280 Speaker 7: unemployment under Pritzker. So you know, they need a different 874 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 7: model because Pritzker's has not worked. 875 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: Ted, we appreciate it, you know, keep beating it because 876 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: we need to.

You never know, 917 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,880 Speaker 1: but we have to figure out what we do next, 918 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,759 Speaker 1: whether that's the pro Bowling tour.

Well, 922 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 1: they even alluded to that yesterday, right, they alluded to 923 00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 1: that they may not want to do that when it's 924 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: that cold. And I get it, right, because you know, 925 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 1: you have to have people out there. I'm sure there's 926 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,320 Speaker 1: emergency responders, first responders. And when you take somebody and 927 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 1: you throw their ass into that lake, and I don't 928 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: know if it's necessarily the chill of the water, because 929 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 1: the water is going to be warmer than the air temperature. Right, 930 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 1: probably when you get out. I know Stephanie was going 931 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 1: to order me some what did she call those water shoes? 932 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: Water shoes?

You'd be fine if you're worried about it, 944 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 5: I wouldn't.

Yeah, you can only groom it after it's 950 00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:13,040 Speaker 1: twenty one, which I think it's probably it's probably past that.

Now 970 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: that's a cool name. Guy might be an air dwell 971 00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: and a thug, but one Espinosa Martinez is accused of 972 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 1: offering ten grand for his murder. Now again, here in Chicago, 973 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,240 Speaker 1: to try to get somebody convicted of anything is tough 974 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: because you have these liberal hack lawyers or judges that 975 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: will not they don't listen to the facts. They won't 976 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 1: and they dismiss any of these evidentiary things that you 977 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,000 Speaker 1: can bring into the courtroom. You can't mention that he 978 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 1: was a Latin king. No, why not? Exactly? Why don't you? 979 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: And we talked about this last week, Nick. The guy 980 00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 1: has over thirty five Yeah, convictions, convictions are arrests yet, 981 00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: yeah whatever, thirty five. Once you get north of two, 982 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: I probably don't want you hanging around my kids at 983 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,400 Speaker 1: the ballyard, right, right. The jury will be allowed to 984 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,919 Speaker 1: see alleged text from Espinosa Martinez that say, my guys 985 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: are ready to kill the bill, so you. 986 00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 5: Know, you know what the revolving door. That is the 987 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,279 Speaker 5: law around here. He'll be out in a couple of months. 988 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 1: But I mean he references in his text message to 989 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,400 Speaker 1: the Kings and everything else. It should all be relevant. 990 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:39,640 Speaker 5: But I guess the argument would be, well, what's Ray Stevens, 991 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,040 Speaker 5: you know, former Sheep metal fabricator. 992 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,520 Speaker 1: How does that really make a difference in this case? 993 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't. 994 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 5: So if his profession was being a right, think about it. 995 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,000 Speaker 5: If you're a street thug, what's your profession? 996 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:55,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's being a street thug. 997 00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 6: That's a professional criminal to you. 998 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: Authority say that he had also offered a two thousand 999 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,880 Speaker 1: dollars reward for information about Pavino ten thousand for his murder. So, 1000 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,960 Speaker 1: in other words, you find out what this guy is, 1001 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,279 Speaker 1: where he is, where we can find him, which isn't 1002 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: hard to do these days, right because these people are 1003 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,879 Speaker 1: working in networks with social media and you can track 1004 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 1: anybody down. But we'll keep an eye on this today 1005 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: and as we continue through this. A trial in a 1006 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 1: sham Court in Chicago. Just nuts on the way at 1007 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,680 Speaker 1: seven thirty five this morning. You know what, when you 1008 00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,240 Speaker 1: look into those baby blues and you say, mister vice president, 1009 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 1: you might get pregnant. And Oosha Vance is and that's 1010 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,919 Speaker 1: big news this morning on the Big eighty nine. And Nick, 1011 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: you are not the father. There's a kal on WLSAM 1012 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: eight ninety. That's baby number four for them. That's you 1013 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: know what they're they're they're going your route. They want 1014 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,359 Speaker 1: to have a basketball team. Nick surely testifying on this 1015 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: Minneapolis and Minnesota fraud on the Capitol Hills today. You 1016 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: know a lot of people want to crown this guy 1017 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 1: as the new prince of independent journalism. And he's very good, 1018 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: I mean for him to do this. He's a young guy. 1019 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 1: Good for him. Traditional media, not the journalists themselves, but 1020 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: the major networks and what we would call now liberal 1021 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: fake news media, they brush this over. People had been 1022 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: talking about this, People had been talking about this in Minneapolis, 1023 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 1: for sure, for the last six eight years. But every 1024 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 1: time the guy's from the Fox affiliate up there. And 1025 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: don't get yourself mixed up with what Fox affiliates and 1026 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 1: what Fox News is all about. Fox News Chicago is 1027 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 1: decidedly different, right, Fox News National, and that's just a fact. 1028 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,880 Speaker 1: Fox News is a Chicago and as liberal as it gets. 1029 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 1: Same thing in Minneapolis. They don't want to touch this 1030 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,839 Speaker 1: because they know a majority of the people up there 1031 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,799 Speaker 1: don't want to hear this narrative. People brought this to 1032 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 1: the attention. Nobody's talking about it now, right, nobody's talking 1033 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,319 Speaker 1: about it now because Rene Good, that's the thing, and 1034 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: we are going to protest, and we are going to 1035 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 1: go nuts in the streets. So many apples to what end. 1036 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know, but I just wonder. And we 1037 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit earlier, four point thirty 1038 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 1: in the morning on Sunday, young lady named Kiera or 1039 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: Kara Jenkins. And you know how people get described post mortem, 1040 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,279 Speaker 1: it's always they were the greatest person ever. Right, there 1041 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: were great people, and you hope that people say that 1042 00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: about you. She seems to fit that bill, this woman. 1043 00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: This woman is from Chicago. She was a lifelong member 1044 00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 1: of a Mount Bethlehem Missionary Baptist church. That doesn't mean 1045 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 1: she's the best person in the world, but the parishioners 1046 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,600 Speaker 1: there say that she was full of light, love, energy 1047 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 1: and a mother of five. She was shot to death 1048 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, Yet nobody's talking about it. Nobody's saying her name. 1049 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: Where are the protests. We're the protests making Chicago safer. 1050 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 1: And this wasn't somebody that was killed by an ICE 1051 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 1: agent and large. You know when you have reckless people, 1052 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: when you have reckless people in the media saying that 1053 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: an ICE agent murdered even if they made a mistake 1054 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: by saying that murdered somebody, it amps up rhetoric and 1055 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,840 Speaker 1: it's wrong. People get shot each and every day in 1056 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: this town. Right I think we're at twenty two homicides, 1057 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: so we're at least one a day right now, which 1058 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,319 Speaker 1: people will tell you that's a great number. Crime is 1059 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: on the way down. This we should be satisfied with this. Shootings, homicides, 1060 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 1: carjackings and the way they get reported are down. But 1061 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 1: we're at seventy three, seventy four, seventy five somewhere in 1062 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 1: that number of murders or shootings that have gone unrecognized 1063 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 1: and unnoticed because shot spotter's gone. So this woman nobody 1064 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,760 Speaker 1: found her for some time after being shot, but nobody's 1065 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 1: talking about her because it doesn't fit anybody's narrative. Her 1066 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 1: life doesn't matter anybody because it doesn't have a political motive, 1067 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 1: and that it's just it's sick and it's sad, and 1068 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 1: people need to stand up and realize that. And I 1069 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,200 Speaker 1: think here in Chicago people are I know that there's 1070 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: this faction of this farce of black life matters in 1071 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 1: Minneapolis that are protesting about ice. Yet here in Chicago, 1072 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: the people that live in Inner City Chicago, in our neighborhoods, 1073 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:24,320 Speaker 1: you know that our majority black have seen their funds 1074 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 1: and their money depleted because all of the money that's 1075 00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: supposed to go to their community outreach programs and after 1076 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,360 Speaker 1: school programs and things like that, a lot of that 1077 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,759 Speaker 1: money was diverted into programs that support and help people 1078 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: that came here illegally, and you know, no offense to 1079 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: the people that use those programs. They were told to 1080 00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,600 Speaker 1: come here. Joe Biden opened the door and said, come 1081 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: on in. Don't worry about who pays for it, to 1082 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 1: how you're going to pay for it, don't worry about 1083 00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,399 Speaker 1: any of that. We've got you. But there's so many 1084 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 1: people here that went without because of this ridiculous scam 1085 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 1: of letting more people in then we can absolutely afford 1086 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: And then you come back and you've got Brandon Johnson 1087 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,040 Speaker 1: talking about affordability. There's no way to afford anything in 1088 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,800 Speaker 1: this city anymore, head tax for corporations because there's nobody 1089 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 1: down here anymore because major businesses have left. Still a 1090 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,080 Speaker 1: great city, and this city's got to survive and thrive, 1091 00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 1: and I hope it does just for the sake of 1092 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: the city itself. There'll be new leadership here. There's no 1093 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: way Brandon Johnson gets re elected. None, No, there's none, 1094 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,600 Speaker 1: not at this point. Not at this point. I mean, 1095 00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,520 Speaker 1: it's gotten to the point now where it wouldn't another 1096 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 1: another term of this guy would be untenable. 1097 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 3: Now. 1098 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:38,560 Speaker 1: You couldn't ask that of the Chicago Teachers Union, right 1099 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: because they think this guy hung the stars and the 1100 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: moon and everything else. But it's just absolutely crazy. All Right, 1101 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: we have a new contest and this is what we 1102 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: are calling the Road to Rosemont.

And I think 1129 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 1: that it might have something to do with At times 1130 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: on our social media, we have to be careful from 1131 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 1: a business standpoint about what images we use and things 1132 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,400 Speaker 1: like that copyright and right not. But yesterday and this 1133 00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 1: made news everywhere.

I 1136 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: didn't watch the whole video because I was more in 1137 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: tune with what went on after that.

We 1144 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: talk about a lot of heavy stuff, right we talk about, 1145 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, what's going on in Minneapolis, And if you 1146 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: let that drive your control and your narrative, it'll absolute 1147 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 1: loutely drive you nuts because it doesn't make you feel good. 1148 01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: And then you go down this rabbit hole of people 1149 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,880 Speaker 1: that are arguing with each other here in America and 1150 01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: it's just it gets ugly. But the Virginia Beach, well yeah, yeah, 1151 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,880 Speaker 1: so it was a Navy rescue, Navy rescue swimmer former. 1152 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: I think he was either a frogman or a seal 1153 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 1: that to saved a woman in a sinking suv. And 1154 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to write this down on my social 1155 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 1: media and I think this bears people that need help, 1156 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: especially this time of year. You know, we do the 1157 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: not so pro Bowler Tour.

And I just wrote this 1161 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: and I just want to get this across because I 1162 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,200 Speaker 1: don't think this gets set enough. I said, today a 1163 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 1: woman was committing suicide, folks nearby jumped in the save her. 1164 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 1: This story, yes, is about everyday heroes, but it also 1165 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: goes to show no matter how bad things get, someone 1166 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: will risk their life to save that another. Someone always cares, 1167 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,640 Speaker 1: even if they don't know you. There's a lot of 1168 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: bus clouding our every day, and there are those that 1169 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,960 Speaker 1: want to see others in pain, some people wallowing that 1170 01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 1: don't fall into that trap.

No matter what side of the alle you're on. 1176 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: This politics makes people angry at each other.

This is a letter penned to the 1225 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,920 Speaker 1: President from Tim Wallas and this is where it gets muddy. 1226 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Let me be absolutely clear. Now, when you're talking to 1227 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 1: some and you start using that kind of phraseology, they 1228 01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:03,480 Speaker 1: know you're full of craft. 1229 01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 9: Ye. 1230 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Let me be absolutely clear. The State of Minnesota will 1231 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,800 Speaker 1: not be drawn into political theater. This Justice Department investigation, 1232 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 1: sparked by calls for accountability in the face of violence, chaos, 1233 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: and the killing of Rene Good, does not seek justice. Well, 1234 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,800 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. This probe went on before that, This 1235 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:25,600 Speaker 1: started before Ice was in Minneapolis. Nobody was talking about it. 1236 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 1: That's the problem. So what they're trying to do is 1237 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:31,680 Speaker 1: it's a diversionary tactic to say that Trump and his 1238 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,439 Speaker 1: probe into the Somali fraud is what causes when it's 1239 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: absolutely not. Joe Biden caused the problem when he let 1240 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: everybody cross over here, and now you've got a Somali 1241 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,640 Speaker 1: community which certainly seems to have the appearance of wrongdoing 1242 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Just understand that if you don't get to Minnesota, 1243 01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 1: it's much like Illinois. The Twin Cities are a very 1244 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,320 Speaker 1: liberal part of that state. The rest of it is farmland, 1245 01:04:56,360 --> 01:05:00,160 Speaker 1: potato fields and iron ore. Jeff Bonosso is here, our 1246 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,200 Speaker 1: friend from Fox News Radio, one of the best they 1247 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 1: have and one of the best we have today. You know, 1248 01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 1: the prosecutors have a subpoena Minnesota Democrats as part of 1249 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,959 Speaker 1: that federal inquiry. Who's going to show up? Let's ask 1250 01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: and start there with Jeff Monasso. 1251 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 4: Hey friend, heybody, let me be clear, I missed you. 1252 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Well, I miss us. 1253 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 4: So this is this is a grand jury subpoenas to 1254 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:31,560 Speaker 4: six Minnesota Democrat controlled government offices. So, Tim Walls, you 1255 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 4: mentioned Governor Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye, the Saint 1256 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,280 Speaker 4: Paul mayor, as well as the offices of Penneben County 1257 01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 4: where Minneapolis sits, and Ramsey County where Saint Paul sits. 1258 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 4: Those offices, those county offices as part of the federal 1259 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 4: investigation into alleged conspiracy to coerce or obstruct federal law 1260 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 4: enforcement during ongoing ICE operations in Minnesota. You may remember 1261 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,280 Speaker 4: interviews like the Lieutenant governor had where she said, make 1262 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 4: sure it protests as you put your bodies in front 1263 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 4: of ice agents. They'll be looking at things like that. 1264 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 4: But they're they're they're essentially looking for documents and communications 1265 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,520 Speaker 4: that that may show there was some sort of coordination 1266 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 4: with the Governor's office, the Mayor's office, the police department 1267 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 4: telling them to stand down, telling them not to uh 1268 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 4: to get involved into violence. 1269 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 1: UH. 1270 01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:28,480 Speaker 4: As it relates to to protests, you you uh you 1271 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 4: mentioned Governor Wall's statements the White House uh.

He's complaining about division, and he's the one 1276 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 4: perpetrating that Tim Walls should stop defending criminal, illegal aliens 1277 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,360 Speaker 4: to work with a Trump administration to get these ciccos 1278 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,000 Speaker 4: out of American community.

But Kamala was in town right, 1465 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 1: she was talking to maybe that's why the Chicago Bears lost. 1466 01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,240 Speaker 1: She came here and she said, bear down, Chicago Bears, 1467 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 1: and look what happens there. Oh you know you gave 1468 01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 1: me a sheet this morning. I'm frantically looking for it. 1469 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: And this is about the meals you can eat for 1470 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 1: what is it? Three dollars meal is what they're calling it, 1471 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,439 Speaker 1: And basically this is the way I eat at my house. 1472 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,960 Speaker 1: It is chicken. I don't know what ounce it is. 1473 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: It's not very big, but it's basically comes down to 1474 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: a broccoli of what do you call it? A florette? Yeah, 1475 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 1: hu and brocoli crown. And you can eat healthy with 1476 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:33,400 Speaker 1: the calories and the protein you need for basically nine 1477 01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,840 Speaker 1: dollars a day, and if you have a family of four, 1478 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,439 Speaker 1: that comes out to somewhere around one eighty dollars. And 1479 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,559 Speaker 1: the Trump administration was talking about that and people laughed 1480 01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,720 Speaker 1: about it, but they found out if they did the 1481 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 1: math that it actually breaks down to that. But I 1482 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,760 Speaker 1: don't know how eating like that could sustain anybody. 1483 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:56,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, what Brooke Rollins, the Agriculture secretary, said, was, and 1484 01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 6: I quote, a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, 1485 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 6: a corn tortilla, and one other thing for three dollars 1486 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:03,360 Speaker 6: a plate. 1487 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,640 Speaker 1: That's how Gina eats.

And it's not that crap that you make 1491 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:16,280 Speaker 1: that Stephanie puts on social media. This is right stuff. 1492 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,680 Speaker 1: But she eats as much as I do. And I'll 1493 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: say to her, I go, how in the world am 1494 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:25,719 Speaker 1: I supposed to live to make it to the next day. 1495 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,760 Speaker 1: If I meet you, you weigh one hundred and fifteen pounds. 1496 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,880 Speaker 1: I said, you got to put some weight on you 1497 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:38,400 Speaker 1: like max wife.

Nobody knows. By sorrow, I 1503 01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: mean I might have been you know, you figure the 1504 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,320 Speaker 1: beer takes care of the calorie part, right, It just 1505 01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: takes care of your liver. 1506 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:05,960 Speaker 6: Dude, you don't need it any Yeah. 1507 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: No kidding, man, you better take that liver and put 1508 01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: it on the line. 1509 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 6: Probably looks like it's gone through this a few hours. 1510 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: I tell I tell Gina, I'm like, baby, I go, 1511 01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 1: I need to I need to get on the ozempic. 1512 01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,519 Speaker 1: And she goes, no, you need to stop drinking old fashions. 1513 01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,839 Speaker 1: And do you hear what you just said? You're crazy? 1514 01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 1: But I'm told that ozempic doesn't work so well. 1515 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:27,599 Speaker 9: But a friend of mine who is a very smart guy, 1516 01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 9: very very rich, very powerful man actually, but he's very fat, 1517 01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,519 Speaker 9: and he took the fat I go at the fat drug. 1518 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,560 Speaker 9: I won't give you which one it was, ozmpic. I 1519 01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,400 Speaker 9: won't tell you that it was too much to bear 1520 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 9: because after I told him that the drug does not 1521 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,360 Speaker 9: work on him, because I saw him recently, he's actually 1522 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 9: fatter than ever. I said, the drug is not working 1523 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 9: on you.

I felt 1529 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 8: it because it was my fault. I felt it was 1530 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,200 Speaker 8: my fault I was overweight and put myself out here. 1531 01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:23,520 Speaker 8: Is because I believe these medications should be accessible to people. 1532 01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,240 Speaker 1: Who need them the most. 1533 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think the insurance companies need to get 1534 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,720 Speaker 8: on board with the program and stop pretending like this 1535 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:33,320 Speaker 8: is not a chronic disease. 1536 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:34,679 Speaker 1: It's a chronic disease. 1537 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 8: And the way you fix a chronic disease is to 1538 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:39,719 Speaker 8: be able to offer it to as many people as. 1539 01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 3: Need it for their disease. 1540 01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 5: Not in her case, she just needs to put the 1541 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 5: spoon down. That was Oprah right, She needs the pushway 1542 01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 5: diet now, that was Steadman, push away from the table. 1543 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:55,679 Speaker 5: Where is she's on the seafood diet? 1544 01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,120 Speaker 1: You know, I would like, didn't you like to sit 1545 01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:00,080 Speaker 1: around every day with people that just say yes to 1546 01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:04,679 Speaker 1: everything you say? Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes ma'am. All 1547 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:06,519 Speaker 1: we hear is no hey, before we go to break. 1548 01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,360 Speaker 1: I do want to play Brooke Rowlins talking about the 1549 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:09,719 Speaker 1: diet guidelines while. 1550 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,240 Speaker 10: We're asking Americans to reconsider what they're eating. Are we 1551 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,280 Speaker 10: actually asking Americans, especially those who are living on the margins, 1552 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,320 Speaker 10: are we asking them to spend more on their diet? 1553 01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,080 Speaker 10: And the answer to that is no. We've run over 1554 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:25,000 Speaker 10: a thousand simulations. It can cost around three dollars a 1555 01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 10: meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, 1556 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 10: you know, corn, tortilla, and one other thing. And so 1557 01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 10: there is a way to do this that actually will 1558 01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:37,880 Speaker 10: save the average American consumer money. 1559 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: See, I'm going to go on that diet today. What's 1560 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:40,840 Speaker 1: the one other thing? 1561 01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 3: Right? 1562 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:45,719 Speaker 1: The one other thing is beer, brother, you're already living that. 1563 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,799 Speaker 1: We're we're up at the up at the cabin this weekend. 1564 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,680 Speaker 1: And you know, when I'm up there, I feed the 1565 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: deer corn and people get so mad.

I figured not, No, how dare you all? Right? So, 1580 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,400 Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson, I got rid of a shot spotter because 1581 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 1: it costs the city too much money. Right, so far 1582 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,160 Speaker 1: number seventy two, seventy three, and seventy four of people 1583 01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:48,559 Speaker 1: who lie dying without any credible calls to nine one 1584 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:53,040 Speaker 1: one because nobody called, and nobody saw this, nobody picked 1585 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 1: it up. Be careful. There's somebody coughing in your studio, Nick. 1586 01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, but trying to run 1587 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 1: a professional radio show here very hard. It wasn't me. 1588 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,000 Speaker 1: And she wants to jump into a lake. It's five 1589 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 1: when it's going to be five degrees above zero. Social 1590 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,559 Speaker 1: Stephanie has made her way into the studio. I ask, 1591 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 1: and I bring up the shot spotter because again here 1592 01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 1: we have a woman who died and I don't know 1593 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,280 Speaker 1: anything surrounding this death. All we know of is a 1594 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,800 Speaker 1: little bit about her. And when we eulogize people, we 1595 01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,840 Speaker 1: always say, ah, they were the best ever. You forget 1596 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,000 Speaker 1: about the bad, right, or we don't even know. But 1597 01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm certain she didn't deserve to die. She's a mother 1598 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,600 Speaker 1: of five, by all accounts and purposes, a pretty upstanding 1599 01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 1: member of Woodlawn, and she, you know, obstensibly did everything 1600 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 1: she was trying to do the right way. Mother of 1601 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,040 Speaker 1: five gets shot, shot to death, and she lies dying 1602 01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:54,080 Speaker 1: on a cold Chicago Sunday morning, and nobody is up 1603 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:59,040 Speaker 1: in arms about it. Where's the community outrage? It's not there. 1604 01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 1: It's because it it doesn't have a narrative right, it 1605 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,320 Speaker 1: doesn't fit a political motive, So you can't go out 1606 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:10,200 Speaker 1: and protest against it because you know, it's just another 1607 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:14,280 Speaker 1: Chicago body. What is this the twenty twenty first or yeah, no, 1608 01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,680 Speaker 1: twenty second, twenty second victim of a homicide in Chicago 1609 01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:22,160 Speaker 1: this year. And the mayor and the governor and the 1610 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,599 Speaker 1: left will tell you it's okay. Crime is down in Chicago. 1611 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: It's all right, we're only killing one or two people 1612 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,439 Speaker 1: a day. That's not bad. This mother of five deserve 1613 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 1: to live. But why is nobody upset or talking about 1614 01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 1: her death. And that's the thing that angers me about 1615 01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 1: our communities because we talk about the Gestapo and mask 1616 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 1: wearing men with guns and neighborhoods. Make no mistake, there's 1617 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,479 Speaker 1: guns all over these neighborhoods.
