You know, it's like been 100 or what is it 150,000 years since Mayor Johnson or

0:07.7

the way I want to call him now, Mao Johnson took over the city of Chicago. I mean,

0:14.3

he is acting like Mao, isn't he? He's the boss. He's like the unaccountable boss and he's got,

0:24.0

he was warmed up by Tony Prakwinkle and by the state's attorney, Kim Fox, they protect them.

0:42.4

somebody the other day that if you're not from Chicago and you're not giving him solutions,

You're on the Chicago way on WGN Plus. So this is a guy who lives high on the hog. And he has this

2:34.5

Tammany Hall style attitude to power. And it is, it's the Chicago way. Absolutely.
