2,997. That's how many people have been killed in Chicago since 2019. The year Laurie Lightfoot took office as mayor.

15,436. That is how many people have been shot in Chicago since the year Laurie Lightfoot took office.

It's an American city. Those numbers seem pretty high, don't they?

But to understand just how high consider New York and LA. New York and LA are also both high crime cities, especially LA these days.

And yet last year, Chicago's homicide rate was 2.5 times higher than LA's. It was 5 times higher than New York's.

Chicago's murder rate had been going down in 2016, 2017, 2018. Then Laurie Lightfoot took over in 2019 and it spiked.

Chicago in the Lightfoot era has been a war zone. None of that is particularly surprising to people who pay attention to the news.

What is surprising, what is delightfully surprising, is that Chicago residents are finally doing something about it.

Because last night, Laurie Lightfoot lost her reelection bid for Chicago mayor.

She didn't even make the top two, which means that Paul Vales and Brandon Johnson will head to the April 4th runoff in the race.

Laurie Lightfoot will ride off into the sunset. All of this should give at least some hope to dejected conservatives who think that there is no hope for the country.

My favorite comment you say is from Jaden Jehuu who says, I don't know how you haven't been banned yet, Big Mike.

But I'm here for it. Keep preaching the truth, brother. Some people have noticed that I've had a lot of bleeps and things added into my show.

Big tech sensor bars because of the big tech rules that tell me that I can't say certain things.

But you know me, if you tell me that I can't say something that is true and just, then I have to say it.
