Is This Going to Backfire?
"Is this going to backfire? That is the opening question. I want to ask you, I'm hearing that for quite some time. And I think people mean well when they say that, but for the last couple of years, ever since Biden was implemented as president of the United States, I have been hearing well, Charlie, this is going to backfire. The trillions dollars of spending, this will backfire the open border. That is going to backfire. The environmental fanaticism, this is going to backfire. The rating on Mar-a-Lago, this is going to backfire. The spying on moms and dads, school boards, that's going to backfire. And I wonder, has it will it? Now, I'm not trying to be too cynical. I'm not trying to discount this too much. But I do wonder, why is it that we immediately gravitate towards that talking point? For a while we've been hearing, well, this is the year of the boomerang, things are going to come around back to normal. And I think it's very tempting to say that because you want to believe the American people are always going to course correct. And we've seen some evidence of it. We've seen lightfoot removed. We've seen the district attorney of San Francisco removed, but generally, where was the backfire against the COVID lockdowns? Who was held accountable politically for that was Gretchen Whitmer, held accountable for locking down her state, was JB pritzker, held accountable for locking down Illinois, was Gavin Newsom, held accountable. The answer is sadly, no. And that's not to say that people can never be held accountable, and there is not an equal and opposite reaction bubbling up. But what I am saying is we have to resist the talking point that just because something unjust happens, there will be a guarantee of a political backlash.

Trish Regan: The Connection Between Canceling Tests Scores & CRT
"I mean, you think about Columbia University. My Alma mater, by the way, saying, okay, you don't need the SAT anymore. Well, part of that is because it's rooted in this CRT, which came out of a lot of academia, specifically law schools, critical race theory, which suggests that you're never going to get a fair shot in this country. If you happen to be born black. And so we need to somehow correct this. And the idea is, well, if we have more people that we allow into these quote unquote Ivy League schools, they'll get that stamp of approval, which will enable them to be on a certain course in life. And the only way may be because unfortunately, and this gets back to some root issues to quote Kamala Harris, rue issues, we got education systems in so many poor minority communities that are beyond messed up Chicago, Compton, out in California and New York City. I did a story years ago about how kids were getting passed from grade to grade all the way to 12th grade. They couldn't read Mike. I mean, this is a problem. And so the answer is somehow, okay, well we're going to just get rid of SATs because we can bring all these people in and I think they're afraid of lawsuits because what about the poor kid who, you know, whose parents immigrated here from India or the Philippines and has been studying his tail off for years and years and years and gets a perfect score on the SAT and straight a's, but that child because he's from Asian descent may not be able to get in. They're preparing for this. There is an agenda. They think they can fix it this way with handouts with college degrees. And the truth is you can't because it goes back to something pretty simple. We need to do a better job organizing at the local level to ensure everybody's got some kind of access to opportunity. We don't do that. When you see Lori Lightfoot out in Chicago, thank goodness Chicago voted her out,

Joe Biden's D.C. Crime Stunner
"To Biden here. What is going on with him? We know he's out to lunch a lot. Seemingly incapacitated, much of the time. He suddenly, however, shocked the world's day by showing a willingness to get sort of tough on crime. The background for all of this, of course, is the situation in D.C., which is a total mess. Violent crime has surged in Washington, D.C.. I mean, you consider the numbers the way up from where we were in 2020. They went up in 2021, up about 23%. And then in 2023, gosh, already this year we have seen a very violent start to the year. This is according to The Washington Post with a murder rate in Washington, D.C. already up 40% over last year. So this is a problem. Every major city right now has a problem with crime and it's because of this war on police. Well, for politicians, it's now suddenly a problem. Because a Lori Lightfoot, the first incumbent in 40 years to get voted out of her mayor spot in Chicago, unbelievable. Let me just do this. So thank you and thank everyone so much. I feel a lot of love in this room. As I felt every step of the way on this journey. There's a reason why Lauren life is out, and it has to do with crime, the homicide rate, already this year in Chicago, up 63%, look, if there's one thing you ought to be able to count on from the government, it should be safety, basic safety and security, the people of Chicago, they get that, right? That's why they're sending her packing.

Lori Lightfoot Got What She Deserved
"To Lori Lightfoot. No surprise there. This was a woman who sought to divide a city that needed anything but division. That city needs to come together. People need safety in the streets, they need education in the classroom and instead in Chicago, those kids stayed out of school more than any other kids in the country. I mean, the inner city kids, they are the ones that really, really got hurt by COVID in terms of their educational opportunity. How can we be a fair country when you got leaders like lightfoot out there? Not pushing to make sure those kids are back in school. Not pushing to make sure that they are on a safe bus. On a safe street, she doesn't care about any of that. She made that evident over and over and over again. And so guess what? Voters said, you know what? We've had enough. They voted her out. Which was the right thing to do. When you look at the crime statistics, I mean, just off the charts, including just this year alone, the murder rate, the highest it's ever been. When you look at robberies, incredibly insane, high levels, so you know what? She got what she deserved. That's a case in which I think we can all take heart. There's an optimistic message here that Americans can only be pushed so far.

Did China Really Just Threaten Elon Musk?
"Elon Musk is getting a warning. And it's not from Wall Street. It's from China. So Tesla had its big Analyst Day on Wednesday, kind of a big deal. People were a little disappointed. I think a lot of folks expected that he was going to announce a really tricked out cheap EV that the masses could drive, but that didn't happen. He had some sort of grandiose plans for getting us off of fossil fuels in the future. But again, Wall Street wanted that $25,000 car that was going to be on the market next month. And he didn't come through with that, although a lot of people still say, if you look at the plans, if you look at the plans, it is happening. I do think it will happen. I think that this was not the time or the place for whatever reason for him to tell us about this. So Tesla remains to me a very interesting company. He's a fascinating guy, just truly a visionary and has done so much that he really doesn't get credit for. But China, China's getting a little nervous because you see they don't have the FBI there running Twitter anymore and they don't have Joe Biden being able to exercise his power over Twitter anymore. They don't have the Democrats making sure that you only say certain things. So they may just be up a creek without a paddle now that Elon Musk is in charge of the place because now what we all know the truth. I mean, the FBI came out and said it, the U.S. energy department came out and said it forget that I said it, by the way, three years ago. Oh, that was like no go territory. I'd never seen anything like it. It was actually really freaky. And I would say to friends, I'm like, I'm kind of alarmed like I feel like we live in North Korea.

Lori Lightfoot Is Out As Mayor in Chicago
"The administration ought to take a look over at Chicago right now because you know what? When you allow crime to run rampant, when you leave your city in such a vulnerable state, eventually catches up to you. Lori Lightfoot out the first incumbent to lose her job in 40 years there in the windy city because people have had enough. This is a good sign, everyone. It's a very good sign Americans. We want our country back.

The Fight Against Grooming
"We've been talking about this groomer culture. I actually made a shirt on my online store at the office of Tatum store. Are you with Tatum store? I mean, I made it short. But I made a shirt on there this is anti my drink is in a way. Anti groomer, social club. It is hilarious because obviously we make the best merch in the game. But so many people are going and purchasing that shirt to stand up as a parent against these people trying to groom your kids. And you know, I was just reading this article from a PJ media and it says, it looks like the groomers didn't meet their quota last year. And it's just going through an articulating the amount of people that have, I don't want to say historically, maybe that's not the right term, but the amount of people that have decided to identify in the LGBTQ community and it's astounding how all of a sudden people are starting to be gay, you know, more people are being gay now. More people being trans, more people identifying as all kinds of they them and it's almost like they're trying to act like it's a natural thing. And in reality, it's grooming, they're exposing young people to these ideas in order to convince them, let me just give you an example. I'm going to keep it real on the radio today. Some of y'all, if y'all ain't ready for it, you might as well turn the channel. You got to understand this. Gay, and this is not every gay person. Clearly, gay men and women, they recruit. It's called turning somebody out. I've had people approach me on social media. And it's the one dude I went to school with. I thought he was a gangster. I don't boy hit me up like, what's up, bro? And I'm like, what's up? What's up, man? How you doing? I didn't really know him that way. I just remember him from school, and he's like, hey, man, I was gonna tell you something, but never mind. I'm like, oh, bro, what's up? I'm thinking, I'm thinking this dude is like watching me from afar, you know, he kind of admired what I'm doing and he wants some advice. So he's like, I was gonna ask you something, never mind, bro and in my mind, I'm like, bro, I'm not a celebrity or nothing, man. I can, you know, you can ask me something I give you some advice. He was like, I say, what is it, bro just tell me. He said, I was going to say I like you, but he said he liked me. I said, I don't know. I thought you'd go ask me for some advice, bro, you taught you like me. What do you mean you like me? Bro, man, what do you mean you like me? And he was saying, you know, so what he was doing was he was only communicating with me and trying to leverage his way into friendship with me just to kind of test me or something or drop the question on me.

Police Union Says LAPD Should Cut Back on Non-Emergency Calls
"Let me continue on with the conversation I was having about a certain cause that they're not going to send people to anymore. And in these woke cities, this is what you get with your taxpayer dollar. So they're not going to go to quality of life calls, which is homeless people doing whatever they want to do. Mental health calls which leads to people getting killed. Disturbance from juveniles, they don't even care about what juveniles do. They can just do whatever they want to do. Calls from the school, they don't care. Public health order violations, they don't care. Nonviolent calls for service at city parks. Now you got to think there's some cost for service that become violent. But until they kill you, they're not going to send anybody. Under the influence calls, alcohol drugs where there is no crime in progress. Not that there wasn't a crime committed, but there's no crime in progress. Check welfare. And these are things that are not going to send an armed police officer to. A check wherefore call. Do you know how asinine it is? For them to consider not sending an armed police officer to a check where for a car. Let me just give you an example of many things that could be a chick wear for a call. Hey, I haven't heard from my neighbor, I see flies in the window. It's a pretty good indication to that person's been dead for a couple of days. And so the police go in and check well for. But when they get there, how do you not know that the person had been dead for a few days, and somebody got them here hostage? Or there's a woman moaning inside of the house, but I don't know what it is. She sound like she's in distress, but I don't know what it is. You show up and she's being kidnapped and beaten to death. But it's a check welfare because there's no evidence that there's a crime. Nobody really knows what's going on. They hear a faint woman screaming in the background or making noise in the background. They don't know what it is. These calls like check welfare and the unknown cause a lot of times with something a lot more nefarious and police officers don't understand. I don't know until they get there.

Why Lori Lightfoot Wasn't Good for Chicago
"Chicago is way worse than what people think that it is. If you are not listening to drill music, and if you don't know what drill music is, it's a genre of music, only black people do this, by the way. Unfortunately, I guess fortunately, and unfortunately, it's unfortunate because they're black and it's fortunate because it's only one group of people doing it and not everybody. But it's called drill music. And so these guys are rapping about the proliferation of murder that they commit in their own communities and a lot of it happens in these cities like Chicago where they thugging to the cows come home. And then also in Chicago, you have gang wars and you have a lot of gang violence. So most of the murders are associated with gang violence. But kids get struck in the head, probably once a month in this combating drive by shooting, pull a jumping out, ski mask, type, behavior, and hoods of Chicago. And when you have a mayor that do not address these issues, why would anybody vote for her? She's a bad representation for the state. She's a bad representation for the city.

Lori Lightfoot's Downfall Is Bigger Than Just Chicago
"Laurie dirty foot is hanging up her slew foot and then big clown shoes because she is no longer the mayor of Chicago. Now it politics do not matter in this case. Meaning that I don't care what your political persuasion is. When your city is riddled with crime, people are fleeing your city because of the mismanagement and policies that have been put into place at the leadership of their, then you gotta just take it. Take the L and she ended up getting beat, she finished third place, there was two individuals, I don't think it's close enough to do a runoff or I think it's Paul villas. I don't know if it's part of valis or virus virus, it could be valid so virus, I don't know. You know, the ales sometimes yeah, I think that's how you say it anyway. Y'all get what I'm saying. Paul. Ended up winning a 172,000 votes, a guy named Brandon Johnson won, I would not want, but he was second place at a 103,000 votes and then Laurie dirty foot clown shoes ended up getting 86,000 votes. She got 17% of the vote. Respectively, Paul got 33% of the vote.

"On a very anecdotal note, I would tell your screen that you have to understand really Jewish community all over after a heavy Sabbath meal, especially with a lot of chant, we too fast with gas on Sunday and sometimes even into Monday. Oh my God. An actual pun. Of the Dennis prager show. We returned. Hi, everybody. Stay on, please. If you've called in because at least then I could address your topic even if I might not be able to put you on please don't hang up because if you hang up, I don't see your subject. So Carol and San Diego, the summary of your calls by the screener is that you're offended, but what I'm saying about your faith and about the hierarchies, I would love to talk to you at length about that. I have been an equal opportunity offender to Jews, protestants, Mormons and Catholics. The hierarchies have failed to a very large extent. I am very close to traditional Catholics who 100% agree with me. It's a painful thing. The whole thing is painful. If religion fails, it's over. The only hope, even if you're an atheist, is the continuation of judeo Christian values in western life. When it's abandoned like Catholic schools are abandoning. How many Catholic schools are woke? I'm going to tragedy. So many Jewish schools are too. Clouds in Oxnard, California, they are animals who change their sex to survive in the wild. I never heard of that, I believe you, but it has nothing to do with sex change. They might appear to save their life like some change their colors when in danger. But it's an interesting, it has nothing to do with what I said, but it's still an interesting topic. Bill and Philadelphia Angela Merkel is in the World Economic Forum. Did you know that? One of the, one of the leaders of WEF? I wouldn't be surprised, yeah, clash fob is Germany's the head. The Germany is always wrong. It's one of the few truisms that generalization. Let's see here. What else do we have here? Northvale, lord New Jersey, dean, Trump is the best thing we need right now. Yep. But he won't win. That's my fear, and we have to win. I have only one thought about America, defeat the left, either the left winds or America wins. If the left winds, it is no more America, as we have known it. It will be a geographic place. It will have nothing in common with American values. I am opposed and vigorously to never trumpers, but it's also wrong to be an only trumper.

"And Corey, hello. Yeah, hi, Dennis. Nice to talk to you. Thank you. I'm just forever frustrated. I'm a practicing Catholic, I attend many church meetings, and I'm always always ends the same way when I try to discuss how politics affects our faith. I'm shut down as being too judgmental. Just recently a couple of weeks ago, I asked everybody there priest and other I ranking people in the church that they even knew who teacher Bond hopper was. None of them knew what I was talking about. Really? That's a great question you asked? And I salute you for doing that. The Christian pastor who was anti Nazi in the name of Christ and was murdered by the Nazis. That's right, every Christian should have this person as a hero. And they never heard of him at your church. That's right. Christians, he said, silence in the face of evil is evil itself. They get so personally insulted when I say that. Well, you're an outlier, my dear friend joined the crowd. We're the I'm an outlier too. Every one of us who takes our faith seriously. Let me give you an example. Look, I gave the Jewish example two weeks ago about the National Council of Jewish women, which is a woke left wing destructive organization, has nothing to do with Judaism, but calls itself Jewish because the women are Jews. But there's nothing Jewish about the organization. And they had 1200 synagogues in a reap Shabbat weakened reap for reproductive rights. Repro, sorry, yes, not re thank you. Re pro, yes, re pro repro Shabbat, yeah. And they put out on Spotify a list of songs for repro Shabbat. I listed them like one of them is F men, and it uses the F word. That is the class classy act of these 1200 synagogues and the National Council of Jewish women, and he's talking about the Catholic Church. He has one from the Catholic Church, the Vatican official newspaper, lazier thought Romano has appealed to Catholics to fast from gas. And other fossil fuels during lent. Get that? That's what you should do during what they have politicized lead. That's the official Vatican paper. As I say to protestants Catholics and Jews, I don't care what faith you remember of as long as you were ashamed of it. Mainstream Catholicism Protestantism and Judaism are just leftism with religious vocabulary thrown in. Lent is a time for reflection and concrete action such as fasting from gas. And limiting the use of heating. They bought into a total hook line and sinker as they used to say, with regard to the environmentalist. One of the gas. But I think, yes, I don't know why they don't they say fossil fuel. I don't know. They probably do. It's a sign of solidarity with Ukrainians and other reflected peoples. How is that a sign of solidarity with Ukrainians? Do you understand that I'm not kidding? Why if I don't use gas is it solidarity with the Ukrainians? Because then I'm hurting Russia. I guess..

I'll have to look it up again. It's complex when you're doing all of this. Lisa bunker, I'm going to it's going to be ah, here we go, oh, what happened to it? Oh, painful. I just saw it. Oh, well, I'll have to find it. Lisa bunker is an author of books for kids. There we go. This is her own page, Lisa bunker .NET. Welcome, thank you for stopping by. I have three new books coming out in 2023. The first co written with. Shapley is joy to the world about a young trans girl in Texas, young, get it, young. This is for kids. This is a sick woman writing sick books to make your child sick. About a young trans girl in Texas who discovers her flair for activism after being kicked off the cheerleading team. Get it? They didn't want a boy on the girls cheerleading team, even though the boy said he was a girl. That's one of the three books, this woman who was ruining children is writing, but I don't even blame her as much as I blame the people who publish it, the people who promote it to young children. This is what your daughter's really, really need. Or your sons. The next one is she persisted, Rachel Levine. That's the one. And a chapter book, oh, yes, Chelsea Clinton's she persisted series. Chelsea Clinton is behind the publishing of this book on Rachel Levine. Still was to inspire your daughter about another woman. Chelsea Clinton, Chelsea Clinton is probably not a leftist. She's more of a liberal, probably. But liberals don't understand anything about the threat of the left. There is damaging as the left, but they're not leftists. But it doesn't matter in terms of the destructive effect liberals are having. The liberals who stay liberal like Alan Dershowitz lose all their friends. He actually said that to me in a dialog we had for a YPO group in Los Angeles. Young presidents organization. About half a year ago. He's lost all his friends. And he still votes Democrat. So the second is she persisted colon region Levine, a chapter book in Chelsea Clinton's she persisted series that profiles our current assistant secretary for health the first trans person in U.S. history to be confirmed by the Senate for such a high level post..

"Because we D is in the word Wednesday and I want people to be we D or wedded, we talk about men and women. I think it's the most honest talk about men and women. Today will be an example. Because I will be treading, is that the word treading on, no, you don't shred on thin ice. You do? Shred, I think you tread water. How do you tread on ice? What does tread mean? If you tread on ice and you tread in water, tread is an odd word. Yeah, but so the term is, I know, all right, so walking on thin ice, you could say that, okay, but you could tread water. You're not walking on water. Well, maybe you are, if you're making a you're making a walking motion when you tread water. All right folks, I won't, I really won't spend the hour on that. I could. But I won't. Just for just for the record. I am lucky, man. Everything interests me, which is usually a blessing, but it can be somewhat of a curse. So today's subject is the increasing lack of romance between single men and single women in the younger generation. Younger I would put in this case under 30. Vast numbers are not dating not going with somebody, but specifically I want to address one topic. Men's fear of approaching women. Which I think has reached unprecedented dimensions. It was reinforced just yesterday and my workout. Yes, I do work out three days a week. And needless to say those are my three favorite hours of the week. That is a clear example of, I know it's good for me. Anyway, my trainer wonderfully young woman cheese in her early 30s. And she's an attractive woman. She's married. And she works out a lot. So at her, she was telling me, and she was saying it more as a phenomenon of life rather than anything else, an observation, if you will, in the hour, hour and a half that she worked out at this gym, and they were other people working out, a lot of them men, and said, the quiet was really remarkable, including not one man said a word to her. And she's not looking to be picked up. She, as she's married, she has a child. She just for little, you know, human conversation. And not one man said a word. She was not wearing headphones. She was not wearing earphones. She said, I had an open face. I would even look at some of the fellow men fellow, not fellow men, but fellow worker outers who were men, nothing, not one, not one man. And I hear this a great deal as well. Men are simply afraid, you can't, you can't even say, man, you look great. Well, maybe, well, they think they can say that. They can say that, but they're afraid, they're certainly afraid to get physical, they want to, obviously, they're males, but a vast number of had no sexual contact according to researchers looking into men and women in the recent past in other words last year, let's say. Men are afraid, obviously, if they're inebriated or the woman is inebriated, they're afraid there, too, and you could say, well, it's a good thing. It's a great development. See, what the left is done has chilled male female relations, unprecedentedly. Sexual harassment, I have no patience for. I just want to make that clear, nor have I ever engaged in it. I didn't because I was raised that you just treat people with dignity. It wasn't a big challenge to me. And I had a very active social life until I was married at 32. And I make no. Defense here for sexual harassment. However, the attempt to create a world where there is no pain is at the root of all progressive slash leftist slash woke policies. What you do though in trying to make a painless world, you know, it's like what the kids have been ruined. They don't know how to deal with life because parents have tried to give them a painless upbringing. I will protect you at every moment, or at least physically protect you. And there will be no danger in your life. There will be no hurt in your life. I want you to have a painless childhood. Painless childhood is like a journalist childhood. You need certain germs to develop antibodies. And you need certain hurts to develop antibodies to hurt. A hurt free childhood may not, in fact, be all that wonderful. How do you know how to deal with the inevitable hurt, so there is a childlike that there has been a childlike attempt, like the reaction of the progressive woman, and the wimpy men who go along with them, to the comments made by Donald Trump about 7 years before running for office and about if you're rich and successful, you could grab a woman, you know where and that was that drove people crazy. It didn't drive me crazy because he said it to a man in private. And it was locker room talk, and if you start monitoring people's private talk, it is the end of a mature and at the end of a free society. In North Korea they monitor private talk, and in the American left, they want to monitor private talk. Private talk doesn't matter as a general rule. Public thought does. He never said anything like that publicly. But they were just so offended. It was such a crisis for women that they had the million woman march. To protest this, somewhere in pussycat gear. For obvious reasons that I will not get into. So the attempt to have been the perfect in their relationship to women has ended up with fewer and fewer men approaching women and taking care of their sexual needs by themselves, which has become a crisis for young people. The fear of women is the subject of this male female hour. The lack of romance compared to the past young men and young women, not only our young women, a frightening thing to now more and more men because I don't know what I could say and I'm afraid to say anything I'm afraid to put my arm around her. But a lot of them are saying, I'm not interested in men any way I have a career to work at, I have studies to do books to read, don't bother me with Ben. There is less romance among young Americans than at any time in American history..

"Who's stopping anybody from loving whom they want to love. All right, continue, please. I'll you fall. You will be defined by how hard you work, and how much you do. Good for other people. That's good. I would that. I like that. I could have said that. Go on. Obviously, we didn't win the election today. But I stand here with my head held high, and a heart full of gratitude. You know it's amazing. Hold on. It's a surreal world of people clapping for a woman who has ruined her city. And she stands with her head held high and they clap. Boy would I love, I'd love to interview one of the clappers. Continue please. I am grateful to the millions of chicagoans who came together as we made tough decisions. Saw the struggles of our frontline workers and beat back a deadly pandemic. Oh my God, all right, well here, we're starting to differ. Why don't she do to beat back a deadly pandemic? Close schools? All she did is ruin children. Man Tate masks, all she did was ruins ruined ruined social life of a human species. Unless you're a big fan of the Muslim veil, you must at least be intellectually honest enough to know that the same social damage the veil does the mask did. And it was useless. USE, useless. I bring to you study after study. New York Times readers wrote in reaction to Bret Stephens column about the uselessness of masks. All, then why do surgeons wear them? Well, they're rigged to rambus every one of these people who wrote that surgeons do not wear masks to protect themselves from virus. They wear they do it to protect the person whose body they have just cut open. From anything coming from their mouth or nose, and to protect themselves from anything that might splatter up to their nasal passages as well. That's it. So if you're going to perform surgery, it's a great idea to wear a mask. Otherwise, it's a very bad idea. So what did she do to beat back a deadly pandemic? I want to know. What did she do that was good? Did she fight? I don't know the answer to this, but did she, as in other cities, fire people, fire, teachers, fire people who worked for the city who didn't get one in most cases was a useless vaccine, which in fact is the longer even defined as a vaccine?

Chicago Voters Pronounce Their Verdict on Their Current Mayor
"Oh God. Welcome to the truism hour on the Dennis prager show. So good. Lori Lightfoot, there you go. You got a real, that was a beauty. You got a female, the women could really feel solidarity, what women feel solidarity with the trans woman? When it really came to push come to shove in the ballot box, would most women say, oh, good. I'm voting for a woman. I don't care if it's a trans woman. I don't know the answer to that. But that would be an interesting test of whether or not people on the left believe their lies. A world of lies, like men give birth. And so many others.

How the Left Ruined Schools
"There was a an 11 year old boy at a school, a school board meeting who read pornography that was available in the school library to his age group. And it was as simple as that. Tragically, either there was no response from the school board, which I suspect to the boy and his father. Or they didn't record the response and put it up, so I couldn't share that. And of course, the way I sent it was a reminder, everything the left touches it ruins. And that is an example. But people still stand their kids to these schools. I don't know, well, I want to say I don't know why, but in part, I do know why. People choose the human being chooses, not people, the easy way out. The easy way out is to dump your kid at school, have your kid ruined or potentially ruined in so many ways, but at least you can then go to work and earn an income. And I respect that. That's what people need to do. That's why I beg grandparents to tell their children if you have any loss of income because you've homeschooled my grandchild, your child. I will make up that loss.

The Worst Mayor in Chicago History Is Gone!
"Home Chicago. Yesterday, the first round of voting happened in the Chicago mayor's race and beetlejuice, Lori Lightfoot has been defeated. Now we should enjoy that for just a second. And we should talk about why that is the case. Why is it that Lori Lightfoot was soundly defeated? She finished third place, not even to make the runoff. And first place was Paul valles, who was a Democrat and for years he was considered to be not exactly a moderate Democrat, but by new standards he's actually more moderate than the Marxist Brandon Johnson, who is also going to make the runoff. So it went valis Johnson and lightfoot. Lightfoot has been the mayor of Chicago, the last couple of years, and she is without a doubt the worst mayor in Chicago history. And that says something because there's been some pretty bad leaders in the history of Chicago. And one of the things that frustrates me the most as someone who grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and loved Chicago is that this is not that hard. There are three very basic things. That you have to do as mayor. Just really basic things. Make the streets safe, try to improve your schools every single year and don't borrow money you don't have and have basically have some sort of a vibrant economic plan or model that is implemented. That's it really simple and basically any city is like that. You take New York City, New York City was declining. Rudy Giuliani became mayor and turned that place around. And Bloomberg to his great credit was a moderate mayor and New York was a safe place for years. Now if there are other issues to homeless, homelessness, that plays into clean and safe streets. And it does beg a question, why is it that Democrats are so comfortable running cities that are becoming so enjoyable, so messy? It's because they're ideology actually is more important than the reality. So

Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago Loses Her Bid for Re-Election
"I wanted to talk in this opening segment about China, but before I do, I want to take a bemused note of the fact that Lori Lightfoot has been defeated. Now, frankly, I didn't really see this coming because I thought that this woman miserable wreck though she is. Nevertheless, what do you expect Chicago? This is the kind these are the kinds of places that elect creatures like Lori Lightfoot, AKA beetlejuice, but apparently even the chicagoans have had enough. They're like, no, we're going to look in a different direction. Now, what is that direction? There are two other contenders. By the way, it was like a ten man race. She came in like third. So she's out. But the race is between two other guys, apparently one of them is somewhat more moderate, the other guys are real, leftist and a radical. So in the next couple of days, I'll talk a little bit more about who these resumed successors are and where this may all end up, but for now I just want to say bye bye. Beetlejuice.

I want you to hear a little bit of Lori Lightfoot's concession speech. He also told a reporter apparently this morning who said, were you treated unfairly? And she said, well, of course, I'm a black woman in America. And here's a little bit of her concession speech last night. Four years ago, four years ago, I looked into the camera and spoke directly to young people of color who looked like me and to every kid who felt like I did. When I grew up. And I'm going to do that again tonight. I told you back then that anything is possible with hard work. And I want you to know that no matter what happens along the way, you should always believe that because it's true. Believe that you can bring about change. Believe that you matter. And believe that you can love who you want to love and do what you want to do and be who you want to be. You will not be defined by how you fall. You will be defined by how hard you work, and how much you do. Good for other people. Well, I would agree with her that anything is possible, including your landslide defeat, mayor lightfoot. Can you imagine her saying that the reason she lost now is because she's a black woman in America and she was treated unfairly? Well, I mean it's how she ended this how she started. And it's the tale of Lori Lightfoot. That's why you got demolished yesterday. She once you won a rent she ran and then once she said, I'm the triple threat. I'm black. I'm gay, and I'm female. So she didn't identify herself by her heart work and want people to judge her by her hard work. She wanted to be a judge by her identity. And so now she's playing the role of the victim, which is just preposterous given the field and given Brandon Johnson. But she's not, but Dan, she's but she's not alone. But she and all the unions that play identity politics the same way she does. So that's sort of Charlotte Rae is why people tired of Lori Lightfoot. I just wonder if we're going to get different varietals at the same race hustle but from the two perspective mayoral. But that victim grievance is not alone. It's not unique to Lori Lightfoot. This is a strategy. This is a tactic of the left. I mean, again, for crying out loud, we live in a country where a black woman is a heartbeat away from the presidency. Second most powerful person in the government is a black woman, and yet Lori Lightfoot wants to paint a landscape, this is a country that's so grossly unfair to black women. It's like, boy, try to have your cake and eat it too. I want to be my qualification for a job is because I'm a black woman, and then if I lose, it's because I'm a black woman. Boy, it kind of kind of convenient to have it both ways. Well, it's a way to issue a kind of ability, you know? What happened on my watch is not my fault. The fact that Chicago continues to lead the nation and murders and has every year since I've been mayor. That's not my fault. The economic department in Chicago, the company is leaving Chicago. The residents fleeing Chicago like it's on fire, which it was several times during her tenure. That's not my fault. So it's got to be somebody else's. It's white supremacy. It's the patriarchal society and so on and so forth. But, you know, I think there's enough people who see through that or to the extent that she wants to wear that cloak. They're not buying it her at least. Well, thank goodness for that. Dan, we always appreciate your insights, great catching up with you and we'll keep live to fight another day.

Dan Proft: Chicago's Election Was a Repudiation of Lori Lightfoot
"In the scheme of things, I think we probably need to, as you said, embrace the moment, at least. This is historic. I was reading this as the first time in 40 years, a one term Chicago mayor has been defeated. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a, you're very familiar with machine towns. This has been a machine town for a long time. And the powers of a competency are massive for the mayor of the city of Chicago. So you really have to make an effort to destroy yourself the way that Lori Lightfoot did. A body politic that actually agrees with you when it comes to policies. Remember, this was not a repudiation of Lori Lightfoot policies. It was a repudiation of the consequences of her policies that a lot of chicagoans otherwise support when they don't connect the dots. But more than anything, it was a repudiation of her personality. She was just so personally off putting to personally disdainful that people had enough of her, and so they decided to rearrange the deck chairs, but we're still sailing toward the iceberg.

Dan Proft: Will Things Get Better in Chicago?
"Dan, you're smiling today. I think a lot of chicagoans are probably enjoying this defeat of Lori Lightfoot. A little too much. Well, yeah, when more than 8 in ten chicagoans vote against the incumbent mayor, then that's a pretty strong indicator that it's time for somebody new and most chicagoans understand that. But as you were saying with balance and certainly with his opponent Brandon Johnson to today, last night and today we celebrate for tomorrow, we may be in base embracing maximum Marxism. And so that's the concern is it's good to issue a repudiation of lightfoot, but come April 4th, the runoff election, are we going to see things really improve in the city of Chicago and I'm a skeptic.

"Well, Lori Lightfoot's political failure does raise the question as to why it took so long for her to fail. And the answer, of course, is the intersectionality. Everyone recognized pretty quickly, lower life it was not up to the job. She was bad at the job, she was nasty about her job. But she was able to get away with it because of course she was a black lesbian. And this is the thing that matters more than anything else in American politics is your identity status, which is why she kept calling upon it. So back in July of 2021, for example, she literally said that she would only give interviews to black reporters, which is about as racist a thing as a public official has ever said. It's an amazing thing. That's literally saying that you will own of any race. If I said, I'm only giving interviews to white reporters. That would make you a racist, right? That made me a racist. Lori Lightfoot says this sort of stuff, no problem. Your office says that you invite it black and brown journalists to this round of interview. Why? I'm happy to vouch for Craig law for Heather Sharon and others. Well, look, I think in this one day, when we are looking at the two year anniversary of my inauguration, as one of the color as a lesbian, it's important to me that diversity is put front and center. That's it. Diversity, diversity. Well, why is it important for lower life with that diversity is front and center? Because that's the only reason she's mayor of Chicago. And that was always her constant defense. July 2021, there's a lot of critique of her performance because she's a bad mayor. So what did she say? She said literally 99% of all criticism of Lori Lightfoot was racist and sexist. So what does she now have to say about the citizens of Chicago who have voted her out? Mayor in recent months there have been questions raised about your temperament and your reaction to criticism, a tribune editorial used the term irascible, how much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman and specifically a black woman? About 99% of it, expand on that. Well, I mean,

Following what he calls a very productive conversation with mayor lightfoot and New York City mayor Eric Adams, governor Pollard says Colorado is done busing migrants to those cities. In a press release, he says his state is scaling back transportation of migrants to their desired final destinations now that weather and holiday travel has normalized. Lightfoot and Adams called for the practice to stop, saying they had directly told a Colorado official neither city had room for more migrants before the state bust hundreds to them.

We're going to lead the show today with Lori Lightfoot. Because it's just, it's just shocking. What's going on? Regarding some of these hysterical left wing reactions to the leaked scotus opinion by justice Alito. Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot, I'm reading from the post millennial issues call to arms over U.S. Supreme Court. Lightfoot tweeted Monday night to my friends in the LGBTQ+ community. The Supreme Court is coming for us next this moment has to be a call to arms. She followed that up with. We will not surrender our rights without a fight, a fight to victory. Now, what makes this particularly appalling is if you contrast mayor lightfoot's tweets with that of her tweets around January 6th, 2021. During which she tweeted, I am in disbelief with what is unfolding in D.C. right now. President Trump and his enablers incited this violence, shame on every elected official in Congress and elsewhere who fomented this anti democratic insurrection by extremists. This is not democracy. This is a disgrace. So what's good for the goose should be good for the Gander here, miss lightfoot, and by the way, for those wondering, yes, Lori Lightfoot is, she's gay. That is part of her story. So one side puts out a call to arms. And it's completely okay. Another side, and by the way, we're going to pull some clip some tape here in just a second of some of the myriad examples of the left calling for an actual physical call to arms. So they do it. And it's crickets. It's crickets in the mainstream news.
