Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: The liberal globalist order is on its brink and awakening a new conservative age.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Steve Turley joined me every day as we discover answers to today's toughest challenges and explore the re-bondalization of conservative civilization.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: This is Turley Talks.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: It's me, Dr. Steve, your back porch professor, I hope you're all having a wonderful Labor Day weekend, but I can tell you who most certainly is not, and that's the ultra-woke radical Marxist mayor, Brandon Johnson, who's been making the hysterically ridiculous argument that he has the epidemic of violent crime under control in Chicago.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: And he doesn't need Trump sending in the National Guard troops to restore law and order.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: And if you can believe it this weekend, this Labor Day weekend over fifty people were shot in Chicago.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: Seven of them killed.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_00]: And the mayor's response was to ban police from working with federal agents trying to help.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: While bodies are literally piling up in the streets, Brandon Johnson just slash seven, four, four police positions to fund a billion dollar budget deficit caused by decades of progressive policies and mismanagement.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this isn't just urban decay.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_00]: This is the blueprint for our Democrats systematically destroy American cities while blaming everyone else except themselves.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_00]: Now,
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: The numbers from Chicago's Labor Day Week in Bloodbath read like a war zone casualty report.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_00]: Seven dead, thirty-seven wounded, multiple mass shootings across the city.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: In the Bronzeville neighborhood alone, seven people were shot in a single incident.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_00]: When suspects in an unknown vehicle open fire on a crowd, then just literally hours later, four more people were shot and a dried by shooting in humble park.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: The most tragic case involved the seventeen year old boy shot multiple times and left in critical condition during a large gathering where police recovered four firearms.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_00]: You know, this isn't gang warfare.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: This this is terrorism.
- 2:12[SPEAKER_00]: This is terrorism against ordinary citizens just trying to enjoy a holiday weekend in their own neighborhoods.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: But here's the most shocking detail in all of this.
- 2:21[SPEAKER_00]: Despite over twenty separate shooting incidents within a particular period, police made zero arrests.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_00]: Zero.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when your clearance rate for mass shootings is literally zero percent,
- 2:37[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a police department anymore.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: There is no actual policing happening.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_00]: There are no consequences for crime.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's insane.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: But again, if you can believe it, it gets even worse.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_00]: While Chicago burned, Mayor Brandon Johnson's priority wasn't protecting his citizens.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_00]: It was protecting illegal migrants from federal enforcement.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: So on Saturday, again, as these bodies were still being counted, Johnson signed an executive order prohibiting Chicago police from cooperating with national guard troops or federal agents.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_00]: Johnson's executive order explicitly states that Chicago police will not work with the national guard or federal agents on patrols or arrests, immigration enforcement or other law enforcement actions.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_00]: In other words, and you've got to get this.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: Brandon Johnson is preventing Chicago law enforcement from enforcing the law.
- 3:39[SPEAKER_00]: You have to let that hit.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it is now illegal in certain circumstances in Chicago.
- 3:45[SPEAKER_00]: It is now illegal to enforce the law.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_00]: Is it any wonder that Chicago police can't handle fifty people getting shot over the weekend?
- 3:55[SPEAKER_00]: Why should they be able to if your own mayor is making it illegal to enforce the law?
- 4:00[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Johnson was responding to what he called credible reports that federal forces could arrive in Chicago in days.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_00]: And his response was to ensure that they would operate without local support.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: So in order to make this far-left political point, Johnson literally chose to make his city less safe.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_00]: But again, it gets even worse because Chicago's financial crisis makes their crime crisis look manageable.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_00]: The city faces a one billion dollar budget deficit in twenty twenty five, which grows to one point two billion in twenty twenty six and one point three billion in twenty twenty seven a billion dollar shortfall.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: This is the epitome of incompetent and corrupt mismanagement.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_00]: And what did Johnson do to make up for that shortfall?
- 4:50[SPEAKER_00]: He caught four hundred and fifty-six positions from the Chicago Police Department.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_00]: You can't make this stuff up.
- 4:56[SPEAKER_00]: Is it a coincidence that your city has a zero percent arrest rate for mass shootings?
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: The most outrageous detail is that while cutting police positions, Chicago added a hundred and eighty-four new administrative jobs.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_00]: So they shrank the police force, but they grew the bureaucracy.
- 5:14[SPEAKER_00]: They're defunding cops while hiring more bureaucrats.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: This is a budget balancing.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_00]: This is ideological warfare against public safety funded by taxpayers who are literally paying for their own destruction.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: Johnson's budget includes a three hundred million dollar property tax increase, which, in effect, breaks his explicit campaign promise not to raise property taxes, but the property tax increase.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the beginning.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago's using a record five hundred and seventy million dollar TIF surplus.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: That's money meant for economic development.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_00]: to plug up all their operating budget holes.
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: So they are literally stealing from future growth to fund current dysfunction.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: Ensuring that the crisis is only getting it worse.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: The city's personnel costs alone consume four point two billion dollars annually, eating a hundred and seventy million dollars more from the corporate fund of twenty twenty five.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: And when two thirds of your budget goes to personnel costs and you still can't provide basic public safety.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a government.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: That's a money laundering system at taxpayer expense.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: And now in the face of the Trump White House offering to help Chicagoans to get their city back.
- 6:31[SPEAKER_00]: How does this mayor respond?
- 6:34[SPEAKER_00]: He calls Trump the single greatest threat to our democracy that we've ever encountered in our nation's history.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_00]: Again, a president offering to help stop mass shootings.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: is the greatest threat to democracy.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: This is ideological delusion divorced from reality.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_00]: Now, Johnson is claiming
- 6:56[SPEAKER_00]: If you can believe it, that violent crime is actually down.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: He's citing a twenty-one percent drop in overall violent crime.
- 7:03[SPEAKER_00]: But these statistics are meaningless when your arrest rate is zero percent in residents are afraid to report the crimes.
- 7:10[SPEAKER_00]: You see, official crime statistics only measure reported crimes, not actual criminal activity.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: The very real numbers tell a very different story.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago has recorded two hundred seventy two homicides this year, including two hundred twenty five fatal shootings with zero rest for Labor Day weekend's mass shootings.
- 7:28[SPEAKER_00]: criminals operate with complete impunity.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: When lawlessness has no consequences, official stats become propaganda rather than data.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: And Chicago is just collapsing literally in every way.
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine the city owes approximately three hundred million dollars in unpaid firefighter wages from three years of contract negotiations.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago public schools face their own seven hundred thirty four million dollar deficit growing to one point three billion by twenty thirty.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: The synchronized collapsed city services public safety and education represents the complete
- 8:03[SPEAKER_00]: failure of progressive governance when your schools can't teach, when your police can't arrest criminals, and your mayor won't accept federal help.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a city.
- 8:13[SPEAKER_00]: You have an expensive disaster zone.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_00]: It is literally the definition of a failed state and again to add insult to injury.
- 8:23[SPEAKER_00]: Johnson's executive order prioritizing illegal migrant protection over citizen safety,
- 8:29[SPEAKER_00]: represents the complete moral bankruptcy of progressive governance.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: While Chicago residents face mass shootings with zero police response, the mayor's priorities ensuring federal immigration enforcement faces maximum obstruction.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: The city spends tens of millions of dollars on migrants while cutting police academy classes and teacher salaries.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago's crisis is in temporary or fixable through normal political processes.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: With billion dollar deficits, zero crime clearance rates and leadership that prioritizes ideology over citizen welfare.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_00]: The city has entered terminal decline.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: Trump is poised to change that.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: He's poised to send in the National Guard and bring Chicagoans the kind of law and order that every American citizen deserves.
- 9:21[SPEAKER_00]: If he does,
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: Trump may end up with a kind of popularity experienced by El Salvador's Nayeb Bucalli, who after destroying the gangs and the cartels, he was reelected with eighty-five percent of the vote.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_00]: Trump has the opportunity to do something extraordinary.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: Something no Republican has ever done.
- 9:39[SPEAKER_00]: Restore law in order to our nation's declining blue cities.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: And if he does that, then I don't expect those cities to be blue, much longer.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_00]: God bless.
