of our first responders, no one's going to want to work here and little by little, crime becomes common place. we've got motorcycles and quads riding all over the someones at wrigley field, the sidewalks, because there's no punishment. there's no law and order and no crime and punishment. jacqui: do you think people feel mayor lightfoot created the conditions by being sympathetic to the defund the police movement or somehow eroding respect for the profession? >> yeah, i think a lot of people blame the mayor right now, and i also blame the socialist faction in our city council who reeled her in as well. they made her feel like she wasn't going to champion their cause, they weren't going to be behind her when with it comes to the votes in the city counsel that she needed. and i blame her for falling for it as well. i'm one of those aldermen that i tell it way it is, and these socialists ruining our city, they're ruining our state and

toxic and divisive reporting and rhetoric needs to stop. but her critics say that she has pulled some divisive stunts of her own. at one point she said she was limiting interviews to journalists who were not people of color, putting, basically, white journalists at the back of the line, and people gave her some heat for that saying that wasn't really her position to do that as an elected official. as she sate -- has she set an example leading up to now where she's saying that divisive reporting needs to end, has she set that example? >> no. you know, she's done what we call in the city of chicago talking out of both sides of your head. telling people exactly what they want to hear, and when you're in front of a different crowd, you tell them something different. she called me and one of my colleagues racist because we stood against the chicago ordinance where it allowed, or

our country, and she should have known that from the beginning. jacqui: so you're saying, if i'm hearing you right, that she might not be, you know, anti-police funding herself but definitely bent to pressure from the progressive far left. >> absolutely. absolutely. the mayor has come out on record multiple times saying she didn't support the defund the police movement, but then when it came time to take away 635 positions from the police department in our last budget, she folded on that. and that was done in our department and in our city. and now we have another police accountability program that's defunding the police because it's paying for positions for civilians to once again have oversight on the police along with the 12 other oversight committees we have. you're forcing the police not to want to be the police anymore. jacqui: she unveiled the budget proposal on wednesday. it was surprisingly beefed up, quite the proposal from last year when she proposed cutting

it sounds as if he is saying that the buck should stop with him. is that how you're reading it? >> i'm reading it as too little too late, craig. if he felt that epstein was so important and the victims getting some justice was so important as tom referred to this prisoner could have been under watch as a valuable prisoner, put aside the suicide threat, that risk, the psychological concerns, this was a very valuable prisoner that should have been kept alive. so a little bit too late for barr to come in and say he wants justice for the victims. he could have had it by ordering special handling for epstein. the other thing that i hope is wrapped up in his statement that there will be justice and coconspirators will be looked at i hope he also means the corruption investigation into how alex acosta, trump's secretary of labor but former u.s. attorney of miami, got
