About this listen

In this episode of O'Connor's Right Stand, host John O'Connor examines the stark contrast between Chicago and Washington D.C. as both cities grapple with crime. With Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson and Governor JB Pritzker actively resisting federal intervention, the city's residents continue to suffer. Meanwhile, in D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser's cooperation with federal law enforcement has led to a dramatic drop in crime, including an 87% reduction in carjackings. O'Connor argues that this is a clear case of leadership choosing politics over people versus leadership choosing results over resistance. He dives into the latest crime statistics and breaks down the arrogance of Chicago's leadership, which continues to refuse help despite its high murder rate. Tune in to see why results matter more than rhetoric and what this means for the future of American cities.
