You better start focusing on the classroom,\u201d he said during an appearance alongside liberal CNN host and author Fareed Zakaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI read that the current mayor of Chicago has an approval rating of&nbsp;6.6 percent\u2026. What\u2019s going on in Chicago?\u201d Maher responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRound it up. 7,\u201d the former mayor quipped. \u201cSafe streets, strong schools, stable finances. Focus on those three things and your city\u2019s going to be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou also have the mayor of New York not doing well\u2026 Obviously, other things here in Los Angeles are not doing well, the mayor here. And then you\u2019ve got mayors, like the mayor of San Francisco and other cities that are doing well,\u201d he said before pivoting back to Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve gone through five years where people became way too permissive as a culture \u2013 which is why everything is locked up at CVS and Walgreens, and that\u2019s a disaster,\u201d Emanual continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have the worst reading scores for eighth graders in 30 years, and nobody \u2013 not a governor, not a mayor, not a president, not a secretary of education is talking about it. We\u2019re all wrapped up,\u201d Emanual added before scorching the woke policies that have appeared to take over his Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word \u2018They\u2019 and got in the girls\u2019 bathroom, I would have done it,\u201d Emanuel joked.\u201cWe literally are a superpower, we\u2019re facing off against China with 1.4 billion people and two-thirds of our children can\u2019t read eighth grade level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zakaria chimed in, saying that he believed the woke policies and language were a significant issue for the Democrat Party in the last election cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a huge Democratic Party problem. If you look at Democratic cities, they are terribly run. They have incredibly high taxes, so it\u2019s impossible to build,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A photo of former Vice President Kamala Harris that was apparently taken by her husband, former second husband<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":586,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions\/586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/states-news.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
