Then we go to an interview with Alderman Gilbert Viegas, who called for the Trump sign on the Trump tower in the downtown loop to be removed as long as the president was impeached again. Here's his reasoning. Jim Jordan is speaking. Nancy Pelosi spoke a few minutes ago. He's anticipated the vote. You probably have, too. Looks like it'll pass the house move on to the Senate. It's interesting to see how many votes in the Senate it'll get on the Republican side. It sounds like a few, but If I were a betting person in these days, we all are. I wouldn't vote on 17 Republican senators crossing over and yet one of the alderman in Chicago Bertrand mentioned this yesterday on Chicago's afternoon news to Albert Old Erman Gilbert Vegas, 36. Ward said that they should take the sign bearing the president's name off the tower on the Chicago River. Alderman Vegas is on the phone line right now, Alderman. Thanks for joining us. You're on WGN. Good morning. Good morning, John. How you doing? Pretty good. Do I have that right? You think that name should come off the side of the building? Well, I mean, I've introduced a couple of ordinances is one that talks about anyone convicted of treason, seditious of subversive activities. I could not have the permit signed permit and then another ordinance that talked about anyone convicted of treason, sedition or subversive activities and not doing able to do business with the city of Chicago. Um, you know, prior to yet last week's events The attack, not just on a capital, but on this country. Um, is what really prompted me, John. I'm a Marine, John and I took an oath. When I when I was in the Marines, and it was to defend And so all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that that old doesn't have an expiration date. And I changed, you know, traded in my M 16 for pen as a legislator on this is my way of field ops defending this great country against any type of domestic terrorism. Why don't you just say if your name is trump? You can't have your name on the side of a building. Well, because we saw what we saw. Awas. The FBI is doing an investigation. Ondas multiple over 100,000 leads have been given to the FBI and they're doing their due diligence is finding out who was at the insurrection on gonna hold those people accountable. We don't know who was there, And once we found out once we find out who's there, and they're brought to trial in after convicted, then my second organs talks about not having them have the ability to do business, right. But in the meantime, if if, if Congress does find that you know that in the Senate House and the Senate votes and Peach The president. My second might. My first ordinance talks about Not having anyone to have those signs. And yes, that that sign is Looking at the Trump signed, but maybe other people that were part of this insurrection last week in attack and on this country that may may fall into the category as well. I doubt that. I mean, who we kidding here? This is about Donald Trump's so well, he might fall into that other category. You wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for Donald Trump. The other people are gonna have their names on the sides of buildings. Maybe they would do some business with the city. But That's just an end around to get it. The president What? John Last week there was attack on U. S government. We can't take that lightly. Um, this is the first time it's happened. The thing is the first time it's happened, so I mean, what are we talking about here? We can't We have to send a message that this type of activity should not cannot be Condoned, especially by a president of the United States of America. I'm actually not arguing that point, Alderman. But I did wonder if the city has the legal authority to do that. That is I. The man has a signed contract. I wonder if you have the ability. I wonder if this would pass the muster. What we're gonna find out Well, first. This is all this is depending on the action from from From the U. S. Congress as well as the U. S Senate. If they do if they do follow through with their actions have been teaching the president. Then this sort in. It will be put to the test. But But let's assume for a moment that that won't happen. That is he'll be impeached. But he won't be convicted. Then would yours apply with this ordinance supply? Or is it on Lee for people who've been convicted of those crimes or People have been charged with these crimes, you know, have to be convicted. Everyone's everyone's Allow do due diligence s O Right, so they had to be convicted. Not just charged. I'm gonna bet that that's let's assume that doesn't happen. Then you don't you don't have a way to do. Get the sign off the side of the building. Or would you would you entertain some other tactic then? I wouldn't say it's a tactic. I think I think that what do you have? Ah, President that You know Congress is taking action today as we speak on the floor, and if they pass that On impeach the president and ultimately, the Senate convicts, then well, then, will we want We will put this ordinance to the test, but Chicago is a beautiful skyline and prior to Wednesday Um me personally never had an issue, however, after yes, last week's actions I think it's I think it's important that the state as a Marine that we have to take what occurred last week seriously and send a message that that type of activity will not be Condoned, moving forward. We'll put Alderman Gilbert Vegas, the 36th Ward on removing the name Trump from the side of that building at or the name of anybody else who is convicted of sedition. Okay. Interesting conversation, Alderman. Thanks for joining us this afternoon. This this morning here on WGN. Thank you, sir. Alderman via Gus of the 36th Ward. Take John Williams to work with you..
