Im sorry. [indiscernible] the question, the people [indiscernible] john chicago residents erupting at a fiery town hall at times screaming at City Officials over rampant crime that has turned the windy city into one of the most dangerous parts of america. Fears of rising crime may about he more dire after this shocking incident in the upscale bucktown neighborhood, two men were seen on Surveillance Video following another man down an alley before viciously beating and robbing him in broad daylight. [bleep] sandra just awful, that goes on for quite some time. The victim was able, thankfully, to get up and walk away, but all of this as crime victims are appearing at a House Judiciary Hearing in chicago today. No democrats showed but it is a warning that the end of cash bail in illinois will only put more residents there at risk of being robbed and beaten by criminals on the loose. Chicago democratic Alderman Raymond lopez is here to discuss all of that, plus a live report from the crimeridden city coming up. John first, is time running out . Resignation calls piling up for embattled new jersey senator Robert Menendez as now his garden state counterpart and long time friend cory booker has joined more than a dozen other Senate Democrats saying its time for him to go. Total number now up to 18 by the way. Im john roberts in washington. This is your second go around today, sandra. Sandra it is, warmed up, ready to go. Good to be with you, john. Despite menendez holding a defiant News Conference yesterday in which he claimed the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash seized from his apartment were not bribes, it does not appear to have turned the tide in his favor among his senate colleagues. John complete coverage now moments away on whether the dam is breaking for menendez. Sandra bryan, more democrats called on menendez to resign. Number is growing. 13 a minute before i got on here, and now its 18, and that includes Amy Klobuchar and gillibrand, but none more notable than long time friend and colleague, new jersey senator cory booker, says it was mistake for Senator Menendez not to resign yesterday. In a Statement Released this morning, senator booker writing its not an admission of guilt but acknowledgment that Holding Public office is tremendous sacrifice at great personal cost. Senator menendez has made sacrifices to serve and i believe he has spent his life serving. Senator booker testified on menendez behalf during his last federal bribery and corruption trial in 2017 that ended in a mistrial. Senator booker and republican senator Lindsey Graham served as character witnesses, Booker Calling Menendez then honest and trustworthy, adding that menendez was that he had the backs of the forgotten, those who struggle with poverty and hurt. This time yesterday like i said, there were about three senators, now that number is approaching to half of the Democratic Senators in the senate. Former House Speaker nancy pelosi also saying its probably a good idea for Senator Menendez to step down, too. This as People Focus On Menendez curious explanation why he had 480,000 in cash stuffed into envelopes. Yesterday menendez said he had this cash because he is the son of cuban immigrants. For 30 years i have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account. Which i have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family Facing Confiscation in cuba. He walked away yesterday without taking any questions. Reporters shouting about the gold bars, 11 in his house, and the mercedes benz. Nothing to say and he did not talk about whether he would run for reelection. He is due in court for his first appearance tomorrow alongside his wife and four other codefendants in this case. Well see. Sandra very interesting. Breaking news now, President Biden has joined the picket lines with striking auto workers, First Time Ever a sitting president has done so. Dip in and listen to the president. [cheering] good afternoon, uaw family. I want to thank local 174, walker rouger. Thank the leadership and director dickerson. Because you are all the reason we are here, this is all about the membership. This site, willow run, it holds a Historic Place in the history of our union and our country. This was part of the Arsenal Of Democracy during world war ii. Its where they built the b24 t liberator bomber. That bomber, they built one of those per hour when they were at their peak. Its what helped us win the war. So today 80 years later, we find ourselves here again. With the Arsenal Of Democracy. Its a different kind of arsenal democracy and different kind of war we are fighting. Today the enemy isnt some foreign country miles away,s its right here in our own area. Its corporate greed. [cheering] and the weapon we produce to fight that enemy is the liberators, the true liberators, its the Working Class people, all of you working your butts off on those lines to deliver great product for our companies. Thats how we are going to defeat these people, how we are going to defeat corporate greed is by standing together. [cheering] you know, this is an historic moment, first time in our countrys history that a sitting u. S. A. President has came out and stood on the picket line. Our president has chose to stand up with workers in our fight for economic and Social Justice. Its an historic day, historic moment in time. Just its about the auto workers who are part of the fabric of the Working Class of this country. We are the people that make the world run. Its not the billionaire class, not the elite few, its the Working Class of the billions of people who have been left behind. Thats what this battle is about. Changing that. You know whats going to move this, its not executive that owns our future, its us. Its Working Class people from all walks of life. Its what we decide to do together thats going to change it, going to shape the future of this earth and for future generations. And thats the economic reality that Corporate Executives dont want us to recognize. I see these ceos try to justify a system where they take all the profit and the workers are left to fight for the scraps and live paycheck to paycheck. Thats got to end. They say they deserve all the profit because they say they are different. You know what they are different. They have different degrees. They have different responsibilities. They have different titles, different positions. You know what, i agree, though, they are different, we will talk about some of that. These ceos sit in offices and meetings and make decisions. But we make the product. They think they own the world but we make it run. The ceos think the future belongs to them. Today belongs to the auto workers and the Working Class. And the difference between them and us is just as our theme song, Solidarity Forever says. Without our brain and muscle, not a single wheel would turn. Thats whats different about Working Class people. Whether we are Building Cars or trucks or running Parts Distribution centers, whether we are Writing Movies or performing tv shows, whether we are making coffee at starbucks, whether its nursing people back to health, educating students from preschool to college, we do the heavy lifting, we do the real work, not the ceos, not the executives. And though we dont know it, thats what power is. We have the power. The world is of our making. The economy is of our making. This industry is of our making. And as we show, if we withhold our labor we can unmake it. And as we are going to continue to show when we win this fight with the big three, we are going to remake it. In this union the members are the highest authority. In this country, the people are the highest authority. And so today i just want to take a moment to stand with all of you, with our president. And say thank you to the president. Thank you mr. President for coming. Thank you for coming to stand up with us in our generations defining moment. And we know the president will do right by the Working Class and when we do right by the Working Class you can leave the rest to us because we are going to take care of this business. So thank you for coming out. Thank you for being a part of this fight. And lets get back to winning solidarity for all of our members and economic and Social Justice for all of our members. We have said many times, wall street did not build the country, the middle class built the country and unions built the middle class. Thats a fact. So lets keep going, you deserve what youve earned and youve earned a hell of a lot more than you are getting paid now. Thank you very much. Sandra all right, President Biden there First Time Ever for a sitting president to join in on the picket lines of the United Auto Workers. You heard the head of the United Auto Workers, shawn fain there a few moments ago talking about his workers living paycheck to paycheck. Sort of interesting to point out, john, we have been reporting on more than twothirds of the country report that they are living paycheck to paycheck during this sky high inflation, but he says it is but he says its about them and an interesting moment for sure to see happening apply out live in michigan. John the president did not speak much at the top, but he did say the uaw saved the Automobile Industry back in 2008, you made a lot of sacrifices, gave up a lot when the companies are in trouble but now they are doing incredibly well and guess what, should be doing incredibly well also. The president , i guess it was Karine Jeanpierre saying look, the president is not taking the side of the union but when you go out there and you stand on the picket line with the union, i dont know how you can see it in any other way. Sandra interesting to get the reaction from the major Auto Companies and the ceos to see the president and the picket lines. About a year ago at the detroit auto show, the president was out visiting with mary barra, taking a tour of the corvette, they were walking through the auto show together and now this moment. John yeah, i mean really appears to be throwing in with the union, as much as the white house would like to say it isnt. But david avella pointed out, still no endorsement for the president from the uaw. Dozens of democratic colleagues calling on new jersey senator bob menendez to resign. David avella, and kevin walling. So, its up to 18 now. We mentioned that cory booker had joined, thats pretty significant, a supporter of menendez. Mark kelly of arizona said. Senator menendez has the same Constitutional Rights and Presumption Of Innocence as any other american. However, a u. S. Senator is position of public trust. These are serious and alarming, a Breach Of Trust and burden i believe will prevent him from fully serving, he should resign. Kevin, you were the first one on fox to say he should step down. Clearly everybody was listening to you. I guess i made it cool no as we talked about on friday when the indictment came out, just the facts alone laid out in the document was just so overwhelming any ability for Senator Menendez to serve out his term without this kind of distraction has gone by the wayside. And he should resign and i think if democrats are going to prosecute the case against a return of donald trump facing these 91 indictments, we have to be on the same page when one of our own faces a legal jeopardy. So, its consistent and important to see the democrats come forward. John the flip side of the coin, david, if former President Trump under indictment four times can continue to run, why shouldnt menendez stay in the senate . Menendez can stay in the senate. What we know here is that for democrats, they see menendez as more of a political liability than hunter biden being a political liability. John you think he should say . No, he should go. That said, if democrats were serious about this, they would expell him. We have not had a member expelled since 1862. Mere talk of expulsion would get a senator senate or republican in the past to resign. David durnberger got censured. Why dont they go all the way, say its time to expell him. John the two things together. If as you say menendez should go, should trump continue to run for president . The president is going to continue to run whether he should or not, hes going to continue doing it and Republican Voters are going to decide whether hes going to be our nominee or not and right now theres a clear voice that they want him. John you want to put a button on that . When the only elected person coming to your event is George Santos in support of menendez, George Santos should resign, bob menendez should resign, and donald trump should suspend his campaign. John big moment tomorrow night, seven republican candidates, criteria to make the debate was 3 support in two National Polls, 3 in one national poll, two polls from four of the early voting states, at least 50,000 unique donors and sign the rnc pledge. Here are the seven candidates who made it on the stage. We have desantis in the pole position. Now and mike pence is relegated to the edges here. Somebody has to break through and be the economic message voters say we want that over the message that donald trump the frontrunner is giving. The challenge for that, much of the good Economic Policy that came out during the Trump Administration starting with the tax cuts. I mean, if you are not for making sure the Child Tax Credit continue, making sure the standard deduction stays where it was reduced to after 2017, you have to be able to make that case. So you have to make the case that you have a better Economic Policy than what donald trump did during his four years as president in order to get any ground on him. John there are still 7, 1 got dropped from the debate stage, thats asa hutchinson, but not the point where any one person could come forward to legitimately challenge the former president. Its true, and relegation of governor desantis, 13, 14 in polls, after a start of 30, 40 at the start of the year. Nikki haley had i think the best Debate Performance back in august at the first fox debate. She raised more money in the 24 hours after that debate than most of the other candidates combined. Now shes running second or third in National Polls and each of the three early states. So my focus is going to be on how nikki haley performs tomorrow night. Leading the pack in south carolina, but 32 points behind a long way to go. John good to see you. Sandra good discussion, thank you guys. Retail theft, meanwhile, a fox news alert. New numbers show it is surging across the country. Stunning new figures on how much it is now costing stores and ultimately you, the shopper. Can the u. S. Economy survive this . Mr. Wonderful, kevin oleary, is here on set to answer that. Plus this. You know who is the most likely to be harmed by racism . Our children. You know who would least likely engage about it, our children. John top antiracism activist accused of blowing through more than 40 million at a Boston UniversityResearch Center. Now administrators are asking where did all that money go . An author ahead on troubling trend of racebased programs in higher education. From pep in their step to shine in their coats, when people switch their dogs food to the farmers dog, the effects can seem like magic. But theres no magic involved. dog bark its just smarter, healthier pet food. Its amazing what real food can do. We planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. You think those two have any idea . That they can sell their Life Insurance policy for cash . So theyre basically sitting on a goldmine . I dont think they have a clue. Thats crazy well, not everyone knows coventrys helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. Even term policies. I cant believe theyre just sitting up there sitting on all this cash. If you own a Life Insurance policy of 100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. Even a term policy. For cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. Someone needs to tell them, that theyre sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea hey, guys youre sitting on a goldmine come on, guys do you hear that . I dont hear anything anymore.
