The more you listen more, you'll know it's Brian kill me working 20 years about how to improve our system so certainly I think that will work on everyday.

Improving the system.

I am proud of what were doing gave's office. Just mention some of the worker doing real encouragement] homicides are down shooting the down again in Manhattan and so just like more work to do training in the right direction. Really, I would brag trending in the right direction a lot more work to do about keeping people in prison do you ever thought about that that might be effective easement had an DA would be right now in studio Gen. Caldwell not only Fox's political analyst to see them on the big show this weekend and said lead twice since I've known you, you had a family victim of a random act of violence, and they lost their lives. Yeah. And now you just lost your brother that that's right and Chicago in Chicago. My brother Christian was murdered on June 24, 114 streets of Vincennes.

He was standing outside of moving you want a black SUV pulled up 3 to 4 African-American men with dreads pulled out and began firing. He wasn't the intended target. There were multiple people hate he was the only one who was killed with a GC do you think he intended to shoot him. They intended target and it was is an issue however was nearby, so it didn't matter in Chicago just walking down the street. Make sure target.

It used to be when I was growing up yet to be affiliated with the gangs are somewhere in in that sphere.

Now it's everyone no matter what it for someone's next visit. Grandmother right next to you she gets shot to and why is that how do you get disappointed cops just back out now and I don't think is that the cops that are backed out. Although the police are overworked, there is a need for thousand detectives to solve these cases, this often, policies that we've seen persist, which I think a lot of them started. Not that long ago 2017 being a key year will bail reform started by way of the Cook County chief judge, the Cook County Justice. He started Bill reform.

That's what a lot of these criminals will go in and come right out as a slap on the wrist and not in them and number these days. It was actually violent crime. So that was one issue and then you got what happened after George Lori you know the whole country turned on his head. People wanted just as they want a police reform and there's nothing wrong with police reform.

There's nothing wrong with the right kind of criminal justice reform that violent crime but certainly there should be a balance in the Democrats went super far to the left and now my family spent a price and now knowing that no one owns it now. Michelle is right ever said that it was so I was struck by this on August 4 10 people, 945 days, 485 crimes just 10 people committed 900 and 485 crimes is the same people over and over again yeah and there's new people tends every city and here's the thing though and I and I'll tell you I've spoken with younger family members amount otherwise the people are just committing all these crimes in Chicago and is a will they know they commit a crime and are likely to get arrested and if they get arrested and are likely to be prosecuted, so why not. And this is what we are right now is a country not just Chicago. Yes my family is paying the price.

Yes, I'm fine for justice for Christian every day, but at the same time there are so many others who are victims to this cancer called soft on crime policies which is infected every organ of the city government and state government and elected in Illinois and across the country. So the very few Democrats will even say I understand the right thing, like does show frustration, but listen to Mayor Eric Adams cut 22 decedent difference definition of insanity is to do the same thing repeatedly expect different results. Our criminal justice system is insane. It is dangerous is harmful and is destroying the fabric of our city.

Time and time again our police officers make an arrest and then the person who is arrested for assault felonious assault robberies and gum possesses finding themselves back on the street within days if not hours after the arrest. So he's frustrated and he says it's up to the state legislature Democrat to reform the cash bail so he can't win over his own party. Yeah, and it's become disgusting and disturbing trend in these major cities where they may be a good intentions. I don't know what is cost in lives that you're literally endangering the lives of millions of people across the country with these policies you look at the blue the book bodega.

For example, you get a God who comes across the counter goals and the stars hit the guy you can't really defend themselves. They want to prosecute him for what was it forgot what it was that the charge they wanted the prosecutor voice.

Debbie got it right right right so you you you have you had that situation where was clearly self-defense.

Anyone with a brain could see that yet and still you got there they go to Rikers. The district attorney will prosecute you because maybe you harm to criminal messages. Witnesses stuff come from George Soares that this is these are the people that he is putting off as these are the people he's invested in and these are the people that he got he's going to continue to to continue to back what needs to happen is the citizens of these major cities whether they be left right progressive or whatever have to speak up and let their voices be known as they need to recall these district attorneys who are Lebanese criminals go out and commit more crime and a need to ensure that these we will never get in again.

They need to make sure the crime is illegal again. I doubt that's sentence insane. It does sound the same but it is true.

So what is it going to take to go into the most challenging areas of Chicago and clean it out. Did I understand this is basically gang violence correct no now it's as though it is not mostly gang violence is violence against block after block. You can be a gangsta disciple on one block or whatever again to decide on the next block and you guys are at war with each other or you can be a part of a click, not a gang but a part of a click of some sort. You just friends from high school your fight everyone else. It is a discombobulated moment for so many in the city of Chicago. Whereas we don't know, left and right because the young folks aren't following the traditions of the old days of the gangs there just basically out here while in is the term that they use in their communities crimes because they don't fear prosecution of the public. Precise personal power is America's letter to you know, your fox weather updates throughout your busy day subscribe and listen now and Fox News not just.com or wherever you get your podcasts and here's the thing I here in Los Angeles. There following these criminals are now following people with money into Beverly who got rich areas, and that's what you said to me you said to me, as happened in Chicago going to the rich areas just smash and grab just to the Sultan Robert yes and New York upper East side upper West side is susceptible that sadly will beast that has to happen for people to realize it's everybody's problem and I think we already at that point Brian is special you think of you mentioned Beverly Hills.

We can talk about any other area that is a very wealthy elite area and you know they don't really take too kindly to being in fear of their lives. They pay good money to live with a live but were seen at already in Chicago. The mayor has been sent. All we got a decrease in crime which is not really a decrease in Mont my view but at the same time there's been an increase in areas that were usually a traditionally save used to be able to go downtown without a problem. You have to look over your shoulder, but now you do on the David the day after my brother's funeral, which was assigned as stated. Nice hotel.

I leave two hours later there's a shooting that takes place about two blocks away, where is this is this is insanity on steroids, but this is where we are and I think people have seen what these policies are doing and they're going to be demanding justice in these upcoming elections, but we need to really focus on these recalls get these people out now versus waiting for this what your Torah says everything is doing is working. Heath that he doubles and triples down on it. People have to be able to match him moneywise now date. They do and commentary. People who were able to really and say, for example, Illinois can imagine with people like billionaire Karen Griffin became Griffin has seen the crime and he said I am over my business out of Chicago because of the crime he's going to Miami which is where I live now very same area I don't have to look around my shoulder when I'm in my any agreement, Mayor Mary Suarez yet know he's excellent. So a great governor and would be. I do have to rent out number which comes on at 12 o'clock but which the latest on your brothers investigation to find out who killed well. There is a lot police don't know there's some things that aren't reportable yet so rigid, wait-and-see, and in hoping that the justice system works and that Kim Fox when these folks are caught this.
