All right, welcome to the Harmony.

All right, welcome to the Harmony Channel.

I'm Jason Whitlock, your host.

Thank you so much for joining me.

We have a great conversation for you.

The mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, is making news because he said he only hires black people

because of black people's generosity.

And I'm gonna let him speak for himself.

And then we'll hear from Shemika Michelle and Delano Squires.

Let's hear from Brandon Johnson and his explanation

of his hiring practices. Play the clip.

Some detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing that the mayor

talks about is the hiring of black people. No, what I'm saying is when you hire our people,

we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet.

I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins.

That's how generous we are.

We just make somebody a family member, right?

This is how we are.

And so business and economic neighborhood development,

the deputy mayor, is a black woman.

Department of Planning Development is a black woman.

Infrastructure, Deputy Mayor is a black woman.
