leslie: wait a minute, she asked anita the electronic monitoring program because she found the reset or is comic recidivism rate, they were committing crimes while they were being monitored. she s actually been more conservative and she s getting more grief than she is from conservatives. ben: leslie, give me one policy in her tenure as mayor that she has done to lower crime in the city of chicago. leslie: i just said it, she got rid of the electronic monitoring. ben: that didn t lower crime, it went up. the stats say that crime went up. leslie: that s not correct, because it just happened we don t actually know that yet. ben: the fbi says year-over-year violent crime in chicago has skyrocketed. the number of dead children has skyrocketed. harris: particularly in the category of homicide. no, you cannot. okay, while there was one crime that got lowered i suppose,
because of political party. we seen ron desantis support president biden, when he helped in florida. at the federal government helps in florida and we seen most recently kentucky. harris: why did she turn trump alone? i don t buy it was political. if the city was at a different point in that time and the gun trafficking-related violence was under different point at that time as well. harris: anyone with a quick one? ben: it s just not true. it s just not true, people are dying. it s just not true. if you look at the gun crimes, if you look at the violent crime, i m a victim of a gun crime in my hometown. you look at the stats year after year and it s the same people committing the same crimes over and over again and it liberals and prosecutors letting them out because they say they are going to defund the police and we dehumanize the police.
pandemic induced shortfall so she did not increase the police budget and this is what she said. we are not doing that, when they said to defund the police. we have to fund both public services and we have to fond of the police. what he s asking for now for six months from the batf, bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms specifically is to assist with the gun trafficking which horse sources are saying are very problematic in the city. and now the numbers are not what they were had president trump offered to help to her at that time. harris: it s a look. having interviewed other mayors, the mayor of kansas city, when you don t meet where the mic between where you are and where you need to be, you are basically on funding them. what i want to know is what happened to that gap? where is that money? the second thing here is, for those people who died in crime
from a year ago when then president trump offered to help her and her city. lightfoot said back then in a highly charged letter please stop with the rhetoric and find out the moral courage to simply support the needed actions. kayleigh mcenany? kayleigh: wow. she went on and criticism of the trump administration s plan to call these individuals secret federal agents and her exact words were, there is a wave of opposition in my city but now she s taking a very different tune. but hundreds and hundreds have lost their life because of the politicization of crime. in chicago, we see this everywhere. i remember one week mayor wheeler, the federal agents who went to stop the burning down of buildings on the violence that we saw here. it jim clyburn played into it, and we were routinely hearing
victims and family members of those who died raise their hand and said this guy, the sentences just just not fair. and he s going to spend the rest of his life potentially behind bars. and at this time when people are struggling, it s a message of hope and faith and forgiveness and yes there does need to be criminal justice reform in this country. and it starts here. kayleigh: kim kardashian winning out that apparently he said his breaks failed and prosecutors said there are things he could have done, there was enough room for trump trucks that he did not take. but the fact that he wasn t under the influence, this does seem incredibly harsh for what again, was an accident. leslie: my fellow libs call me to the right of attila the hun on crime, i have a more conservative stance on crime.
