sergeant, good to see you. this idea of now not chasing criminals who are involved in attacks on just innocent people walking down a sidewalk in frankly large groups of thugs at one time, that has been going on in chicago, i understand now for sometime now. >> well, it absolutely has and mayor brandon johnson, the guy you thought couldn't be worse than lori lightfoot got upset with the media because the media called teen takeovers groups of mobs. it is incredible, for the last three years, the american law enforcement officer has been vilified and demonized by politicians, by some in the media, activists, it has become a pro criminal justice system as opposed to a pro-victim and that is one of the many reasons why

>> welcome back. joining me now are three guests who have been on the front lines of this fentanyl crisis and, frankly, of the drug-overdose crisis for some time. former chicago mayor lori lightfoot. she's been a prosecutor, as well, before that. dr. andrew kolodny, a medical director of the opioid policy research collaborative and president of physicians for responsible opioid prescribing. and jan rader, the former fire chief in huntington, west virginia, and director of the huntington mayor's council of public health and drug control policy. welcome to all of you. i'm going to start with the former elected official here. you've been on the front lines, a prosecutor. it's touched your own family with your brother. where are we today versus where we were in the '90s? >> well, look, i think the good news coming out of chicago is that we are really focused on harm reduction and treatment. we have decades of evidence, as you indicated earlier in the show, that the war on drugs is not a success. it didn't stop the problem. and at the local level, what we have to focus on is, how do we help these folks? we get them to turn their lives around. and we've done a couple of things in chicago.
