福克斯新闻 芝加哥民主党议员指责莱特福特对联邦执法的回应(2)（在线收听）

Wow, you know, I don't know what is going on between you two, but why is she so upset when it is suggested that something should be done to make the cities, streets safer in Chicago? Well, I think part of the problem that the Mayor has with me is that I run contradictory to the narrative that she keeps trying to portray that she is in charge and she is in command of the COVID situation, the violence, when it is clearly obvious not only to the residents of Chicago and not only myself and I'm sure the Former Superintendent and the entire nation that our city is in chaos and in turmoil. When I can tell the Mayor that, I have addressed these issues in my ward. My ward is like the micro - of the City of Chicago we have poverty, we have working class people, we have gangs, we have violence. We were able to make significant gains in reducing those crimes that's year after year prior to this administration. You know, that message hurts her image. It hurts her personally because it is her micromanaging style. Unfortunately that level of pettiness is causing disaster in the City of Chicago right now.

哇，我不知道你们俩之间发生了什么，当有人建议应该做些事情来让芝加哥这个城市的街道变得更加安全时，她为什么会感到沮丧？嗯，我认为市长和我之间的问题有一部分是因为，她一直在说自己负责指挥新冠疫情和暴力事件的处理，而我的表现和这样的说法是矛盾的，但很显然，不光是芝加哥的居民和我本人，我敢肯定，前警司和全国人都认为，我们的城市都处于一片混乱之中。我可以告诉市长的是，在我的监管下，这些问题已经解决了，我对芝加哥进行监管，我们面临着贫穷问题，我们有许多工人阶级群众，我们还有许多帮会和暴力行为。我们可以努力减少犯罪数量，这届政府上台之前的几年同样面临着这个问题。这一信息损害了她的形象，还给她个人造成了损失，因为她一贯事必躬亲。不幸的是，这种程度的狭窄心胸导致芝加哥发生灾难。

So, we have pictures of - you had your home was broken into, attacked, your office was also had shattered windows and glass. So you have been on the front line in this. But you are a Democrat. She is a Democrat. Who characterizes better where the people of Chicago are on this if that is an assessment that can be made? Well, I think you know obviously we're City of Democrats but we're a city of different kinds of Democrats. I'm more of a middle-of-the-road kind of Democrat who believes that we can't have social justice. We can't have good relations with police and we can't have good safety all in the same city. It is possible and we've done it in my ward. Unfortunately, too many politicians in my city and across this nation find it easier to pander to the lowest common denominator in our society as opposed to challenging people to believe and inspire for something greater. And I, for one, know that can happen in our city again. We just have to start enforcing laws targeting individuals who will not change helping those people who want to change and knowing we can do better moving forward. That is pretty reasonable message. Alderman Lopez, we thank you very much for coming on tonight. Good to speak to you, sir.

我们有照片——你的住宅遭遇了袭击，你的办公室窗户也被弄碎了，到处都是玻璃碴子。所以你处于一线。但你是一名民主党人，她也是一名民主党人。如果让芝加哥人做出评价的话，谁表现得更好呢？你一定知道，我们是民主党之城，但我市的民主党人也有许多不同之处。我是持中间立场的民主党人，我认为我们无法获得社会正义。我们无法与警察建立良好的关系，而且我们城市无法保证处处安全。这是有可能的，这已经在我的监管下实现了。不幸的是，我们城市以及全国各地有太多政治家觉得，迎合低级趣味是很容易的，他们没有建议和鼓励年轻人寻找伟大的事业。我也是政治家，但我认为在我们的城市里，这样的事情可以再次发生。我们只需要执行法律，来针对那些不愿意改变的人，来帮助那些愿意改变并相信我们可以做得更好的人。这个说法很合理。洛佩兹议员，非常感谢你今晚能与我们连线，很高兴能与你通话。
