the city's democratic mayor, lori lightfoot, says it's because the young people are unloved. >> there's too many young people in this world who do not feel loved. too many. we have to change that around if we are going to change around the trajectory of their lives. >> emily, former attorney, you've been in the prison system. what is your take on what she says? >> i'm still an attorney and my take is that that is a joke. here's why chicago's carjacking is at its highest level in more than two decades. the task force has unmasked multiple agencies has determined -- and this is what the problem is, that the people that have been arrested for vehicle hijacking is only about 11% of the carjackings. of those prosecutors approve the prosecution is fewer than half of those cases. considering that at least half the suspects or juveniles they are being let out of the system and they're going free. they are being let down easy because they are juveniles. it's not that they are unloved. there are no consequences, no deterrent consequences. they have the data, they even have the day of the week tha

chicago reporter challenged democrat mayor lori lightfoot on running for reelection as the crime crisis grips her city. watch this. >> real people in chicago are asking me how can you possibly even consider running for reelection as mayor of the city of chicago after all the harm you have caused? >> i disagree with you fundamentally. and i don't think i need to address and dignify your comments one second further. >> harris: 14 shootings in that city over easter weekend. not one single suspect in custody. look, policing is a hard job, we get it. this isn't on the police. you know they are hungry to make the city safer. kevin, i mix that in with what we're talking about because it would help if democrats were clear on their messaging, your party's leader on down. they should have been strong with no police defund. no police defund but they weren't. now they are. politics are hard. >> yes, again, harris, to your point a good one. the fringe left of my party. a few members of congress who called for that. joe biden is the leader of my party and the president of the united states and says w

lightfoot said it was because many young people feel unloved. she also said chicago cannot arrest ourselves out of public safety problems. john, your reaction to the mayor and her coddling of these criminals? well, she clearly first of all,, good evening. happy easter. thanks for having me. she has no idea what she's doing. the reality is, yes, you cannot just solely arrest your way out of this , but that has to be the first step. these criminals need to be taken off the street and we're talking about these teenagers who don't feel loved. that is a byproduct of a failed school system. the chicago publicsc teachers fs the majority there are some good ones, but the majority of them just don't care. it's a paycheck to t you know, they have these kids from broken homes eight hours. a day . what are they doing to change their lives other than indoctrinating theme with the information that they want to plant in their brain? nothing. and thisisit is the result. nathan sorrow's back to george gascon in los angelesd.a. saidan this about criminals yesterd

so mayor lori lightfoot announced that 50,000 gas cards with $150 pre-loaded on them will be given out to chicago residents over 18 years old. there's another 100,000 people that will get cards worth $50 for public transportation. this all starting in may so how do you get them? enter a lottery and those who enter and win are a select few, so i did the math. with just over 2 million adults in chicago, that means that only 7.4% will be getting one of these cards, which, by the way, won't even last you that long with current gas prices. you know, but everyone, regardless of whether you get the card or not, you'll still pay the gas tax in illinois which is incredibly high, so breaking it down you're paying 8 cents per gallon in chicagoan additional 6 cents in cook county and everyone is paying that additional $0.39 per gallon for the state but of course this feels really exciting because it feels like free money, and i say feels like , because when it comes government, there is no such thing as free, where you think they get that money from, the taxpaying residents of chicago and illinois

reporter: neil, free money is the solution for higher gas prices here at least what mayor lori lightfoot is hoping. her brainchild. you have to meet income requirements to qualify and apply for the program. you said it, after that, the city will send out 50,000 gas cards preloaded with 150 bucks each. as well as 100,000 public transit cards worth about 50 bucks a pop. the total cost of the program, more than $12 million in taxpayer money. several alderman who voted against light-foot's proposal, called it a campaign gimmick and political stunt. 2023 by the way an election year here in chicago. businessman willie wilson was critical of it as well. he is also running for mayor. he is giving away $2 million in fill up-s in chicago. but he has done that with his own money. ad federal level, democrats blame oil companies for high prices. some say progressive policies will help solve the problem. house democrats also say the federal gas tax holiday is still on the table. >> there had been some interest in the holiday, the pros of it it is good pr, you're asking about it, the cons are there is

by the way chicago is preparing to launch a universal basic income program, mayor lori lightfoot says the $31 million plan will support families hit by the pandemic. grady trimble joins me now. all right, grady. break it down for us, how is this exactly going to work? reporter: ash so applications for the program open in about a week and a half april 25 and it works like a lot of universal basic income programs do across across the country like los angeles for example, so in chicago, families will get $500 a month for a year, that'll go to 5,000 of the city's most needy families, similar to la's program where 3,200 people will get $1,000 per month. this idea of universal basic income is really gaining steam all over the united states, with at least two dozen cities starting some type of ubi program. in atlanta, for example, there's a program that's only available for black women and in california, only new moms are eligible, and in louisville, kentucky, there's a program that's for young people to get a payment each month, you have to be between 18-24 to get that payment. this ubi pro

lori lightfoot will do something about it, she will offer free gas and public transit cards, the city would spend $7 million on 50,000 prepaid gas cards each one worth $150. $5 million towards one hundred thousand dollars of transit cards, each of them is worth $50. the cards will be distributed using a lottery system so not everybody gets one. don't go anywhere. friday feedback is back and it is next. ♪♪ i had a lot of pain. as far as my physical health, my body was telling me you got to do something. and so i came to clearchoice. your mouth is the gateway to your body. joe's treatment plan was replacing the teeth with dental implants from clearchoice.
